Great show. The lottery was handled very well throughout the night. Very enjoyable opening match. Excellent Leon Rodez promo. Some great one-liners in there. Blurred between serious and comedic very well. "A tag partner that's so insignificant, I asked someone what his name was the other day, and all they could say 'Oh, he's just Some Guy'. Well he's going to have to be SOME Guy to win tonight..." Don't know about you, but I so heard Jim Cornette's voice when reading that. Too bad I didn't skim the show to find out Simon and Logan, two rivals, teamed together or I would have mentioned it on HD. Good match. Tim Livingston/Otaku vs. PR/Brock was solid. Liked what Eski did with the Stone/Black-Brannigan match. Skimmed everything else, and it all looked very solid. Axel vs. Batista was better than I thought it would be. The thumb bit was funny. Plan on reading the battle royal later. Excellent job in advance.

The HL title looks cool. While we're at it; what would a HI-YAH World Title and International Tag Title look like?

Looks like we found a new PPV name for November. Everything else stays the same because Hoff said so. And everybody loves the Hoff...when Zack isn't around, then everybody loves Zack.

I wanted the uglist lookin' smiley, and that's exactly what I found. And because you know you all want it... ::UH, UH, UH to the UH!::

I should still be World Champion.

The T-Man is here to save the day this year. We could rename it. The July (LTP), September (Dirty Deeds) and November (Thanksgiving Star Wars) are the only months where a name change would be heavily considered. DD seems pretty safe though. I know Zack threw out "November Reign" last year... As for LTP or whatever it ends up being called...

Never understood why the WCW PPVs were clipped to hell. It was a tradition that dated back to JCP. On the Great American Bash 1987 video, we get the intros for the Lex Luger-Nikita Koloff U.S. Title cage match (with Earl Hebner as ref!), then it cuts, and both men are sweating profusely. They even cut off some of Pillman-Liger from Superbrawl II! The Great American Bash '92 is another event chopped up pretty good. But I got a little creative here and copyed the PPV verison onto DVD and edited in the final two matches, Sting vs. Vader and the NWA Tag Title Finals, the latter of which is clipped. The Watts/Hiro Matusda segment with the Big Gold belt is...well, gold. Matusda looks completly uncomfortable when Watts starts talking about Sting being "the World's Champion" and wanting a title vs. title match to crown one champ after the NWA Title tournament. Pillman vs. Badd is sweet. Let's also not forget the awesomeness that is Flair vs. Anderson with Brian's heel turn. WarGames is a disgrace, however.

That was Havoc 1992. Which card was different than announced in the Ross Report section of WCW Magazine. I regret not getting the PPV version of the event when I had the chance. I hear everything up until the NWA Title and Spin the Wheel is great. I actually have the entire mini-move for the Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal match from Clash XX. Corny. Though I do like Jake's facial expressions. Edit: I find myself marking out for things that happened 10+ years ago than I do now.

I sorta saw Halloween Havoc 1993 last night. I recently bought a DVD recorder and have been spending way too much time transfering my old VHS tapes over, and two of the tapes I recorded happened to have HH '93 matches on them. One was the entire Cactus Jack/Vader TX Death match from WCW Fan Favorites, the other was a clip job of Flair-Rude (referred to as World Champion, which makes me wonder when the hell did it become International Champion) from the Best of Halloween Havoc. It was great to hear Jesse "The Body" on commentary, not edited out like on the WCW matches available on WWE Home Video.

I script who will face who before I begin writing the match so I can get everyone involved. I did it for the first time when I co-wrote an 8 man along with Patty, and it produced the best match ever I've written. EX: Simon-Marv Ned-Marv Hot squence Ned-Marv Mel-Ned Marv-Ned Mel-Ned Simon-Mel Hot Tag Finish It also helps that I went back and watched some old tag matches involving the Midnights, RnRs, Steiners, etc. I was amazed to pick up on the little things I had never noticed before. Onto the show... Excellent opening segment with Axel and Hoff. You could feel the intensity rising as the promo went further and further. Women's wrestling with storylines? Who would've thunk it. The renewed division continues to impress. Please say CSI isn't about to breakup? CSI: HD? Good Rodez/Drek and GPX segment. Alf's promo was nice and short, which means easy for me to feedback. I haven't had the time to read Battlebowl yet, just briefly skimmed it, so I don't how what angles were shot, but I liked the explaination over the X-Title. Really good ME. Enjoyed it very much. At first glance I thought it was going to be DAN Black.

Promo for sure this time. Would've happened last week but I when I read the BB match I was involved in I decided to hold it off until the week after.

In that case, you have my approval to use the Boiz.

I take it the Boiz would win, yes? FYI: The HI-YAH International tag titles are officially recogized by the OAOAST Board of Directors. So we have two sets of tag belts ala the NWA/WCW World and U.S. tag titles. Now that we have a boatload of teams, they have something to fight for.

BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is for the OAOAST World Tag Team championship! It is set for one fall. CUE: "Chase" by Giorgio Moroder "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The New New Midnight Express and Jim Cornette appear before the hostile crowd. They jog down the aisle. Sarcastic Simon's midsection heavily taped up due to his injured ribs. BUFFER Introducing first, the challengers. Accompanied to the ring by their manager Jim Cornette; they are the former two-time tag team champions of the world, Sarcastic Simon and Narcissistic... THE NEW NEW MIDNIGHT EXPRESS! COLE As the New New Midnight Express make their way to the ring, let's take a look back at what happened last week between these two teams. [QUOTE] [b]LAST WEEK[/B] The Boiz slide out of the ring and grab the belts from Michael Buffer at ringside. Partly disappointed about having to endure more pain in title defenses, but happy they keep going to the pay window. The Marv and Hell Mel run up the aisle slapping hands with the fans and hugging each other, clutching the tag titles tightly. They raise the belts on the rampway and are then attacked by the NEW NEW MIDNIGHT EXPRESS! COLE Damn them! Sarcastic Simon and Narcissistic Ned beating the Sk8ter Boiz with their own tag team titles, damnit. The Heavenly Rockers and Holly rush to the Boiz' aid, running off the NNMX and Cornette, but the damage has been done. The New New Midnight Express have sent a message to the World Tag Team champions.[/QUOTE] COLE (Voice-Over) Great. What do you want? CABOOSE (V.O.) Probably not an autograph. We cut away from the highlights and back to the arena, where Jim Cornette and the New New Midnight Express have surrounded Sofa Central. Michael Cole is given a wireless microphone by the stage manager and stands up besides Cornette. James E. wraps his arm around Cole's neck, smiling. CORNETTE (giggling) I could watch those highlights all day, couldn't you, Michael Cole? COLE (sarcastically) Oh, absolutely. So let's talk about last week then, Jim Cornette. In addition to calling the Heavenly Rockers "thugs"... CORNETTE And they are. COLE (CONT'D) ...you [i]bullied[/i] your way into a World Tag Team Title match by attacking the Sk8ter Boiz after successfully defending their World Tag Team Titles in a grueling Triple Threat match with the Sooner Bruisers and Heavenly Rockers. CORNETTE We didn't bully our way into anything, brother. If you'd had done your homework, Michael Cole, you would of remembered the New New Midnight Express were supposed to face the Sk8ter Boiz for the belts at the Great Angle Bash until the Heavenly Rockers thugged on Sarcastic Simon and put him out of action with a rib injury. And for once the OAOAST kept their word when they said the contract would be valid for a later date. Well, brother, unless you've been living under a rock in Stamford, Connecticut -- tonight is that date. CUE: Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" The crowd rise to their feet and cheer for the Sk8ter Boiz. The Marv and Hell Mel ride to the ring on their skateboards, slapping hands with many of the screaming fans as they past by. CORNETTE I'm glad these guys aren't old enough to drink; they'd fall off the wagon so many times they'd end up lookin' like Rocky Dennis. COLE What a terrible thing to say. You're talking about the World Tag Team champions. You're talking about the team who have scored HUGE victories over the likes of Hell's Hitmen, the Sooner Bruisers, the Heavenly Rockers and not to mention your New New Midnight Express. CORNETTE Eventually, even a blind squirrel will find an acorn. And Sarcastic Simon and Narcissistic Ned -- twin sons from different mothers -- are tired of that blind squirrel running around in their yard, taunting them with their property. I'm the BB gun, and the Midnights are the BBs. We're putting that squirrel out of its misery. The Midnights are gonna take care of business tonight. COLE Easier said than done. COACH The Marv and Hell Mel may end up thanking James E. if that comes true. They're tired of the pain, you know. COLE Pain is temp-- CABOOSE Don't give us that cliche. Jim Cornette climbs onto the ring apron and confers in the corner with the New New Midnight Express. At the other side of the ring, the Boiz give a thumbs up to a young fan ringside and remove their belts, handing them over to Hall of Fame U.K. referee Miles Manchester. Miles holds the belts up in the center of the ring for all to see, taking them over and giving the NNMX an up close look. Simon, Ned and Cornette looking very confident. The belts are handed over to Michael Buffer and the bell is called for. * DING DING * Narcissistic Ned and The Marv will start for their teams. Collar-and-elbow tie-up into a side headlock takeover by The Marv. Headscissors applied by Narcissistic Ned. The Marv rising to his feet and floating on top of Ned. Blanchard bridges up and nails Marv in the gut with a kneelift, following up with a double underhook suplex. Cover made. ONE... TWO... KICKOUT. The Marv and Narcissistic Ned trade roles, with Ned taking Marv over with the side headlock and Marv headscissoring Ned. Blanchard floats onto The Marv, the 165 pound co-holder of the World tag team championship showing a great deal of strength by bridging up with his 235 pound challenger. Narcissistic Ned wraps his leg around Marv's to prevent himself from going down in a backslide. HELL MEL enters the ring. He hits the ropes and then Narcissistic Ned with a DROPKICK, which allows The Marv to drop down and finish off the BACKSLIDE. COLE In recent weeks we've talked about how the Boiz have been pulling off wins out of nowhere. Nearly saw another there. ONE... TWO... NO! Both men rush to be the first back on their feet -- and it's Narcissistic Ned. Blanchard takes Marv down with a vicious diving larait, Marv's head snapping off the mat. Blanchard picks Marv up and rams him into the top turnbuckle. The Handsome Hustler brutalizing Marv in the corner with a combination of rights and karate kicks to the body. Narcissistic Ned whips Marv to the opposite corner and charges after him, Marv grabbing the top rope and leaping over the top, waistlocking Blanchard from behind and rolling back! ONE... TWO... TH-- NO! Ned kicks forward and sends The Marv running to the corner, Marv leaping onto the second turnbuckle and catching Narcissistic Ned sitting back up with a SPRINGBOARD LEGDROP! The cover! ONE... TWO... COLE NO, Ned kicks out! Blanchard lunges forward, and is taken over with an armdrag. He gets back up and is taken over again. Armwringer applied, Marv twisting the arm and clamping on an armbar. The Marv brings Ned over to the Boiz' corner, and a tag is made. Hell Mel comes off the top with a SHOOTING STAR DOUBLE AXEHANDLE onto the outstretched arm of Narcissistic Ned's. COLE The Handsome Hustler walking away, rubbing and shaking his left arm. The Boiz continuing focusing on the arm, re-applying the armbar. CABOOSE I normally don't give the Sk8ter Boiz credit, but notice how Hell Mel is keeping his head down and legs apart. He's keeping himself from being caught in a vulnerable position, such as an elbow to the head or a single-leg takedown. Very sound statergy from a usually unsound team. COLE There you go. You just had to get in a shot at the Sk8ter Boiz, didn't you? CABOOSE It's an impluse. COACH The Sk8ter Boiz are great athletics, no doubt about it, Mikey. But when it comes down to the nitty-gritty, baby, that's when the experience of the NNMX will come into play. Ned counters into a hammerlock, but not long after Hell Mel counters Ned's counter with a drop toehold into a side headlock. Mel fired off to the ropes. Narcissistic Ned leapfrogs over, Mel waits for him to turn around and levels the Handsome Hustler with a leg lariat. Narcissistic Ned shoots down Hell Mel's dropkick, swiping his feet away. Ned locks on a front facelock applied and drags Mel to his corner, making the tag to "Sarcastic" Simon Singleton. As Simon gets one foot into the ring, Hell Mel frees himself and gives Simon and Ned a DOUBLE NOGGIN KNOCKER! Both Midnights stumble around the ring, as The Marv re-enters the fray and along with brother Hell Mel execute a pair of HURANCANRANAS on the New New Midnight Express! Simon and Ned rise back to their feet near the ropes and are clotheslined over the top to the arena floor! Jim Cornette makes his way over to his fallen team and helps them up, then leaves them high and dry as the Boiz swing over the top rope and crash onto the Midnights with stereo TOPES (cross bodyblocks). COLE Oh, my! The crowd is on their feet. The World tag team champions putting on quite a showing here tonight. Hell Mel brings Sarcastic Simon back inside the ring with a SUPLEX from the apron! Sarcastic Simon landing on his back and more importantly, on those injured ribs. Snapmare takeover into a bodyscissors. COLE The Boiz continuing to impress with their wrestling development. CABOOSE It's been a while since I've had one of these applied on me. Very painful maneuver. It works over the ribs, making it very hard to breathe. COACH The Coach begs to differ, 'Boosey. I was in this position last night, except the girl was facing me and enjoying it as much as I was. Sarcastic Simon hammers Hell Mel with elbows to the side of the face, breaking free from the bodyscissors but the damage done. Sarcastic Simon charges with a clothesline, Hell Mel rolling through and jumping on Simon's shoulders, taking him down with a VICTORY ROLL that only gets two. Hell Mel with an Irish whip -- but it's reversed. Mel leaps onto the middle rope and springs back with a reverse back elbow that knocks Singleton off his feet. Hell Mel follows up with a STANDING MOONSAULT! ONE... TWO... TH-- KICKOUT! Sarcastic Simon sent to the ropes. Blind tag made by the New New Midnight Express. Hell Mel goes up for a HURRICARANA, but Singleton counters into a POWERBOMB! Narcissistic Ned positions himself in the center of the ring apron, as Sarcastic Simon hooks Mel's legs under his arms and CATAPULTS him to the ropes. Narcissistic Ned springboards to the top and drills Hell Mel with a SIDEKICK, sending Mel straight back onto Simon's knees! Mel rolls onto his stomach, clutching his lower back with one hand, his jaw with the other. Ned comes in and rolls Mel over. The cover. ONE... TWO... TH-- NO, SHOULDER UP! COLE I don't know how he did it... CABOOSE He got the shoulder up. COLE (CONT'D) ...but Hell Mel managed to muster up whatever bit of strength he had left to kick out of that. You know he's dazed, and yet he still kicked out. Heart of a champion. COACH You may call it the heart of a champion, M.C. -- The Coach calls it stupidity. The Boiz have been on record saying they can't wait until the day they lose the gold. They should of followed their own advice and taken the dive COLE Whatever they say outside the ring is thrown out once they're inside. Once you're in the ring the competitive spirit kicks in and your first goal is to win. COACH You think when guys are choosen to fight Mike Tyson, they're doing it because they think they can win? CABOOSE The way Tyson fights nowadays, probably yes. COACH Nuh-uh. They're doing it because of the money. Money first, winning second. * CHOP * "WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" * CHOP * "WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Narcissistic Ned mockingly grabs his chest in pain. Hell Mel with a forearm smash to the face, causing Blanchard to grab his face with both hands, leaving his chest wide open... * CHOP * "WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" * CHOP * "WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" * CHOP * "WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Narcissistic Ned grabbing his chest in pain for real now. Sarcastic Simon reaches over the top rope and grabs a handful of Hell Mel's hair, slamming him to the mat. A tag is made and Sarcastic Simon comes back in. He scoopes Hell Mel up and slams him in the center of the ring. The Sultan of Sarcasm goes up to the top and MISSES the elbow drop! COLE Hell Mel rolled out of the way just in time. Now can he make the tag? Hell Mel crawls on his belly to his corner and... ....makes the tag! The Marv coming in and taking down both Midnights with rapid spin heel kicks, dropkicks and clotheslines. Sarcastic Simon whipped to the ropes. Now joined by Hell Mel, the Boiz waistlock Singelton on the rebound and lift him up in the air for a DOUBLE BEARHUG! Sarcastic Simon screaming in pain, as the Boiz squeeze their arms together. The Boiz see Narcissistic Ned coming at them and release the bearhug as he nears, SHOVING Blanchard right into Sarcastic Simon! The two, particularly Simon, hitting hard in the corner. Blanchard stumbles out and is caught with a double Japanese armdrag, then with a double dropkick that sends him through the ropes and onto the apron. COACH Narcissistic Ned must feel like he's in some bizzare Spearmint Gum commerical. Instead of "double your please, double your fun", it's "double everything and pain." The Boiz pull Sarcastic Simon out of the corner and whip him to the far side of the ring. High elevated DOUBLE HIP TOSS! Hell Mel double stomps Sarcastic Simon, keeps his feet on Simon's stomach and stomps on it some more, as if he's an outdoorsmen log rolling. The Boiz each grab a leg and make a wish -- DOUBLE WISHBONE! They somersault over to the NNMX corner and deck Narcissistic Ned off the apron with a right hand, upsetting Jim Cornette who turns his back to the ring and kicks the guardrail. Hurting his foot! The Boiz swing over the top rope to the floor and each plant a KISS on Cornette's cheek! Cornette flipping out when he sees who kissed him. CABOOSE How disgusting. The Marv jumps on the apron and climbs up to the top, delivering a CORKSCREW THESZ PRESS onto Sarcastic Simon. The crowd rise to their feet as the referee goes down to count. ONE... TWO... TH-- NO, NED WITH THE SAVE! COLE (gasps) Oh, I thought he had it! Sk8ter Boiz with the tag. Ned throws Marv in the corner. Blanchard once again using his karate skills to punish The Marv. But Marv fights back! He fights out of the corner with punches and chops. He goes for a home run swing but misses, Ned ducking the right and hitting Marv with an atomic drop. Roundhouse kick to the back of the head sends Marv falling onto the second rope. Narcissistic Ned buries the knee onto the back of the neck, choking Marv on the middle rope. The referee escorts Ned back to his corner, leaving Jim Cornette and Sarcastic Simon to work over The Marv. Cornette grabbing Marv's head and pulling it down against the middle rope. Sarcastic Simon off the second turnbuckle with a legdrop across the back of the head. Marv falls back inside the ring, holding his throat while Hell Mel goes off on Miles for missing what was happening behind him. The fans EXPLODE, as the HEAVENLY ROCKERS and HOLLY-WOOD make their presence at ringside. COLE It's the Heavenly Rockers! The Heavenly Rockers are here! They're here. Live. CABOOSE In no way should they be allowed to stay. They aren't involved in this match. COACH I guess now would be a perfect time to mention the Heavenly Rockers and Holly-Wood will be performing live at the Staples Center this weekend. Tickets on sale now at the box office. The action in the ring has stopped. All turning their attention to Synth, Logan and Holly. Jim Cornette hiding behind Narcissistic Ned, holding tightly onto his right leg. The Heavenly Rockers grab a couple of chairs and take a seat ringside. Holly sitting seductively on Logan's lap. Narcissistic Ned not liking that. He begins grinding against the ropes, simulating some mature situations on the second turnbuckle. With everyone distracted, the identical twin Boiz pull a DOUBLE SWITCH~! Sarcastic Simon walks over to who he believes is The Marv, but is now Hell Mel after the switch-a-roo. Cover made. ONE... TWO... TH-- Hell Mel rolls a stunned Simon over! ONE... TWO... THREE! "YEEEEAAAAHHHH!" NO! KICKOUT! "AWWWWWWWW!" Narcissistic Ned enters. 2-on-1 attack. The Heavenly Rockers and Holly leading the crowd in support for the Boiz. The camera becoming wobbly from the clapping and stomping of the feet inside the arena. The Marv returns. He spins Sarcastic Simon around and pops him one good. Same for Narcissistic Ned. COACH Pier-six brawl, fellas. COLE Both teams are slugging it out inside the ring. The referee doesn't seem to have a clue to as who are the legal men. Oh, Blanchard RAKES the eyes. Damn him! The Marv thrown over the top rope -- but he lands on the apron and springboards to the top. MISSLE DROPKICK! Oh, my, what a dropkick. Narcissistic Ned sent all the way across the ring, he ends up rolling on his back and out through the middle and bottom rope. Referee Miles Manchester grabs The Marv and orders him out. Jim Cornette uses this as his opportunity to thrown in his TENNIS RACKET to Sarcastic Simon! COLE No! That damn mama's boy has just given that loaded racket to Sarcastic Simon. It cannot end like this. The crowd murmers in excitement and fear. Sarcastic Simon positions himself near the corner, tapping the racket on the canvas. Synth jumps on the apron and rips the racket out of Simon's hands. The two exchanging words. A struggle ensues, with Sarcastic Simon reaching for the racket. Synth shoves Singleton back and WHALLOPS him upside the head with the racket! CABOOSE This is how it cannot end, Cole. At least the Midnights didn't use the racket. Sarcastic Simon staggers towards mid-ring and walks right into a TILT-A-WHIRL ROCK BOTTOM! Logan and Holly waistlock Narcissistic Ned and Jim Cornette respectively from behind. ONE... TWO... THREE! "YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!" * DING DING DING DING * Logan and Holly let go of Cornette and Ned, who jump into the ring and watch with Simon as the Heavenly Rockers celebrate with the still World tag team champions, the Sk8ter Boiz. BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, your winners and STILL OAOAST World Tag Team champions... THE SK8TER BOIZ! CABOOSE No! What a joke that is. COLE The Sk8ter Boiz have retained their titles. And we'll be back with more action on TSM. Stay with us. [b][SIZE=7][COLOR=orange]HeldDOWN[/COLOR]~![/SIZE] [COLOR=blue]Winners and Still Champions: The Sk8ter Boiz[/COLOR] SUNDAY NIGHT JULY 31st [COLOR=red]LICENSE TO PIN[/COLOR][/b]

This is starting to become somewhat of a tradition now that the originals/upstarts feud is beginning to pick up, so... What are the plans this week? I'm thinking about writing the NNMX vs. Sk8ter Boiz for the tag titles before they go on Zack and SG, if that's still the plan, unless the 4 Way is being done this week.

OAOAST Tag Title: NNMX vs. Boiz And maybe a promo

Another idea I have in mind is a promo where I talk about the events of the GAB, losing the belt, etc, and call Drek Stone and/or the GPX out. They'd surround the ring. As the spokesman of the Upstarts, I'd have Stone and Brannigan brawl, with the GPX jumping in and making it 3-on-1...until the rest of the Elite hit the ring, or a combination of Dan and Zack, whatever, and a pier-six erupts.

As usual after a PPV, a promo-driven HD. Nice short to-the-point opening promo from Hoff. Good segment with the Elite and Zack/SG. Company first indeed. The Women's Title match was fun to read. The impromptu Triple Threat match was originally longer, when I had it planned for the GAB, but I cut a bulk of it out to continue the Boiz' streak of unexpected pins. I agree with KC about feeding outsiders to Axel. I probably would of accepted it better if he were a heel. I don't know. I'd have rather seen him deal with OAOAST talent. ALFDOGG IS CHAMPION! I don't know about you, but I've been riding the Alfdogg wave since his return. I still believe he'd make a great opponent for the World Champion. Something different, you know.

Papacita continues to deliver with the graphics. Cute opening bit with Triple C on the 4 day delay. Very good opening match involving CW and JB. MMOM's stuff was pretty solid I thought. While I was slightly disappointed we didn't get to see the HI-YAH Title match (Leon is one of my favs, and Behemoth is doing pretty damn well himself), it did an effective job furthering a storyline. Loved Alf's promo. The stuff about the Italian Title and originals/upstarts feud was great. Enjoyed the PK-Stevens match. Sick finish. Nice Hoff promo before his match. Which was so good the match graphic was used twice! Hard to believe Hoff and Drek have only been around for two years. It seems like they've been around longer. Anyway, another fine match from them. Good chemistry there. Boo for Drek getting his heat back by Stonecutting the ref. Job, even if Hoff won by cheating, like a man, damnit! Excellent 4 Way Dance. It's matches like that that make me wish I wouldn't wait so damn long to start writing my matches. I couldn't help but laugh at Static's "Beat him like he's yo' wo'mn" comment. Liked how Zack's & SG's elimination occured not long after the GPX were eliminated. Didn't expect Crystal and Gunner to win. Good choice though, as the others team didn't really need it. I said it abou Hoff-Drek, but I think it rings true for Axel and Brannigan as well, that they have good chemistry together. I'm just happy to be a former OAOAST Champion. Very elite company. Though I would of liked to have had one successful title defense. Oh well. Overall, pretty good show. A bit off-topic, but what does the OAOAST Title look like? I seem to recall it being changed from the Big Gold Belt during Zack's last reign to a smaller belt with a crown in the top center.

::Shuts off lights:: Awwwwwww....

What I didn't get to write for the GAB... World Tag Team Title match

CUT TO: Michael Cole at Sofa Central with an agitated Jim Cornette and New New Midnight Express. COLE Ladies and gentlemen, it was two weeks ago that my next guests were involved in a tag team match against the Sooner Bruisers. It was during that match when the Heavenly Rockers made their return to the OAOAST following a leave of absence, hitting the ring and attacking the New New Midnight Express. During the melee, as we're about to see here, Sarcastic Simon was injured. He suffered a broken rib doctors would not allow him to compete on, scraping the scheduled World Tag Team Title match at the Great Angle Bash. Narcissistic Ned rips the microphone out of Cole's hand. NED Like a true liberal, Simon couldn't suck it up and fight for what's right. That's cool, though, because we're tight. It was suggested I go at it alone or find a sub. The problem with that is -- subs don't work, as Steve Austin knows all too well. While I'd be able to beat the Sk8ter Boiz all by my narcissistic and handsome self...EVERYBODY knows fanboys are crazy. Gods knows what they'd do to a collector's item like the Handsome Hustler, Ned Blanchard. Ned looks over at Simon and sees a man burning a hole through him. Blanchard pats Simon on the chest. COLE Are you done? NED For now, yeah. COLE Let's take a look at the footage. ROLL TAPE [b]Courtesy: HeldDOWN~! June 16, 2005[/b] [i]Sarcastic Simon... sends Frankie tumbling over the body of Narcissistic Ned with a diving clothesline. A modified Double Goolze. As Frank rises up, Sarcastic Simon nails him with a SWINGING NECKBREAKER! He runs over to the corner and climbs to the top... The crowd ERUPTS. They all rise to their feet as 3 figures make their way through the crowd. The sea of heads preventing us from getting a good look. It's, it's... ...THE HEAVENLY ROCKERS AND HOLLY-WOOD! "YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!" COLE They're back! The Heavenly Rockers are back! We haven't seen them or Holly-Wood since School's Out. Jim Cornette goes nuclear when he sees who has arrived. Holly goes right after James E., sending him waddling backstage. Logan hits the ring, with a NIGHTSTICK, just as Sarcastic Simon leaps off the top with a FLYING ELBOW. Nightstick shot to the exposed ribs of Sarcastic Simon as he comes down![/i] END TAPE Sarcastic Simon grabs his ribs as we come back live, while Narcissistic Ned mugs for the camera, caressing his chest and flexing. COLE With more on the situation I welcome to Sofa Central the New New Midnight Express and their manager Jim Cornette. CORNETTE Can you tell me when a nightstick, a weapon used to tame thugs like that Rodney King, become part of a professional wrestling match, Michael Cole? COLE About the same time a tennis racket did. Cornette is none to please about that smart-ass remark. Cole takes a step back as the Midnights lean forward. CORNETTE I see your in the mood for jokes, Cole. But we aren't. You see, we spent the week of the Great Angle Bash trying to get medical clearance from OAOAST doctors to allow Sarcastic Simon to compete in the World Tag Team Title match, but these so-called "doctors," a bunch of grad students that look like they wandered off the set of "Animal House," wouldn't give the OK because the OAOAST didn't want to be liable for any career or life-threatening injuries Sarcastic Simon might face if he competed that night. I get a call from the office later that night telling me tickets are on their way for me and the Midnights to attend the Great Angle Bash and conduct an interview explaining our situation. Guess what? We never got our tickets! But that's life in Josie Baker's OAOAST. I know Josie's been having a hard time lately, like we care, and it would be easy to place blame on her, but the fact of the matter is, this is entirely the fault of the Heavenly Rockers! "YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" CORNETTE Here's a team I took under my wing and made something out of, then they leave because their egos got too big and they started to believe the hype, just like all these morons in the stands. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" CORNETTE Tell me, Michael, how were Synth and Logan faring before I got my hands on them, hmm? COLE Well, in our honestly, they were--they were floundering. CORNETTE Exactly. I did what I do best, and that's mold teams into winners. I've done it everywhere I've gone. A lot of people want to look down on the New New Midnight Express, saying the "Midnight Express" franchise is dead. Saying I don't have it anymore. It's about pride, respect and ego. Seeing as though we all just can't get along, let me tell you something, Heavenly Rockers: don't believe the hype. You guys wanna run out from the crowd and thug? Well, brother, I know two guys who'd love to thug right back with you. You may have broken one of Sarcastic Simon's ribs, Heavenly Rockers, but a broken rib is something that'll heal, something you can't say about a broken heart. Isn't that right, Ned? NED You got it, Jimmy. It's no secret the Handsome Hustler's got a sweet tooth for the ladies, and it's no secret my eye tends to wander now and again. But there's something big going down in my life right now, something so big it might tame the Ned Man. Dirtbag -- I mean, Logan, if I were you -- and I wouldn't want to be you because that'd mean I wouldn't be me and who wouldn't want to be me -- I'd watch your girl closely. It seems like she still has feelings for me. Hey, I wouldn't blame her, I have feelings for me too. Ever since her ordeal at School's Out Holly has been making eyes and overtures at me every chance she gets. There was a period when things got rough between us, but we both like it tough. Besides, love hurts. Holly nearly got away from you once, Mann, next time it'll be forever! CORNETTE We've talked about the Heavenly Rockers enough. Now let's talk about the biggest beneficiaries of Simon's injury, the OAOAST version of the Wonder Twins -- the Sk8ter Boiz. You guys won't be able to pound your fists together and turn yourself into any shape or form you want, because once my New New Midnight Express are ready to go, they're gonna break your bones and most of all, Sk8ter Boiz, they're gonna take back what's rightfully theirs and become the first team in OAOAST history to win the World Tag Team Title three-times! NED Hell, we'll even win the HI-YAH International tag team championship just for the hell out it. The Midnights and Corny laugh, Simon grabbing his ribs afterwards. COLE Gentlemen, I'm being told through my headset that OAOAST officials are having to physically restain the Heavenly Rockers from coming out here and confronting you. SIMON Yeah, right. That's just a ploy. They want none of us. Just look at me, I'm living proof they can't fight us one on one. They need a weapon or have to jump us from behind. CORNETTE (glances at his watch) Well, looks like our time is running out. So let me leave you with this, Heavenly Rockers: don't believe the hype. Don't believe those saying we're through. Don't believe those saying you're bound to become World tag team champions. And most of all, keep an eye on that cute little girlfriend of yours, Logan. NED Don't. SIMON Don't. CORNETTE Don't believe the hype. Hahaha! The crowd murmers as Cornette and the Midnights exit...throught the crowd! The murmering is due to the arrival of the SOONER BRUISERS at Sofa Central. COLE I'm sorry gentlemen, you aren't scheduled tooooooo-- Frankie grabs Cole by the collar and shakes him like a ragdoll before throwing him down to the floor. FRANK Shut the hell up, Cole. I do as I please and please who I do. A bunch of pansies come out here bitchin' and moanin' like a woman in bed with the Man of Tomorrow about this and that. I got news for you: if anybody deserves a shot at the tag titles, it's the Sooner Bruisers. We beat the New New Midnight Express. We made the Heavenly Rockers are bitches at School's Out. And... The arena EXPLODES when the HEAVENLY ROCKERS AND HOLLY-WOOD join the Bruisers at Sofa Central. SYNTH Not to breakup the par-tay, but speaking of shutting the hell up, the Mesmerizer gots a bitchin' idea for you: Shut the hell up! FRANK You call yourself the mesmerizer. The only thing mesmerizing about you is... (BEEEEEEEEEEP)! LOGAN HACK JOB! SYNTH BITCHES AND HO'S! COACH HOLLA~! COLE OH, MY! COACH Because 'Boosey doesn't have a catchphrase... DAYUM~! The two teams begin brawling. Frankie and Logan following suit. OAOAST storm out from the back to break it up. THE MARV (Off Screen) You know what? Orgy of wrestling...RIGHT NOW! The camera pans to the staging arena. THE SK8TER BOIZ! "YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" HELL MEL Uh-oh. The Marv's feeling froggy, and you won't like him when he's froggy. COLE Aren't you concerned about losing the titles in an impromptu match? MARV From your lips to God's ears. HELL MEL We can only dream of losing the tag titles. That way we'll no longer have sleepless nights thinking about the pain we'll suffer in our next title defense. Oh, the pain. The pain! The Sk8ter Boiz run into the ring, sliding underneath the bottom rope and leap onto the turnbuckles where they start a chant of "LET THEM FIGHT!" A chant the crowd quickly picks up on. CABOOSE Wait a minute. Do I have this right, they actually WANT to fight? COACH Whacky Canadians. COLE Good thing everybody came out in their ring gear. All we need now is a referee. And right on cue, here comes Nick Patrick sprinting out from the back. A huge ROAR goes up as Nick calls for the bell. COACH Oh, yeah, baby boy. We got ourselves a World Tag Team Title match, and it doesn't involve Rosey and the Hurricane. * DING DING DING * The Marv, Logan and Frank waste no time locking up in a three way collar-and-elbow tie-up, all jocking for position. Marv and Logan break and clobber the self-proclaimed "Man of Tomorrow" with rights and left respectively. Frank backed into the corner, where he continues to get pummeled. The Marv and Logan whip him to the corner across the ring. Logan fires Marv off to the corner. Frank moves out, forcing Marv to improvise in mid-air and leap onto the second turnbuckle. As Frank comes out of the corner, he sees Logan waiting with his left hand cocked. He turns around -- The Marv waving and smiling at him from the turnbuckle. COLE The Man of Tomorrow trapped in the ring. Which poison will he choose? Frank turns back around and is rocked by a stinging left hook from Logan Mann. He goes staggering back towards the corner, and The Marv drives him into the mat with a TORNADO DDT from the second turnbuckle! Logan pumps his fists, telling Marv what a great job he did and extends his hand. The Marv gladly accepts and is THROWN over the top rope. Logan makes the cover. COACH Whacky Canadians. ONE... TWO... TH-- NO! The Marv springboards to the top rope from the apron and backflips into the ring, dropkicking Mann in the face and breaking up the pin. SPRINGBOARD BACKFLIP DROPKICK! Marv makes the quick cover on Logan. ONE... TWO... Frank pulls Marv off by the foot, brings him back to his feet and stiffs the hell out of him with a Soonerline (clothesline) that just about rips the head off its shoulders. Nick Patrick, Frankie, Synth and Hell Mel all grimacing after that one. Logan with a double axehandle to the lower back of Frank, followed by a reverse DDT. Sensing his partner may be in trouble "The Psycho Gremlin" Frankie Frankensteiner steps into the ring and grabs Logan from behind. Synth comes to his partner's aid and goes after Frankie, all while Hell Mel stands idle on the apron until realizing he should probably do something to. He isn't sure what, but he knows it should be something. As he ponders what to do, the Sooner Bruisers and Heavenly Rockers engage in a brawl in the ring. On the apron, Hell Mel snaps his fingers and leaps to the top rope. SPRINGBOARD CLOTHESLINE on both the Bruisers and Rockers! CABOOSE Spot monkeys! COACH Only in a zoo, 'Boosey. Or a jungle. COLE Hell Mel helps his brother up and pats him on the back, as if he's saying it's time to go to work. CABOOSE Then what the bloody hell were they doing earlier? The Sk8ter Boiz nail Synth and Frankie with a pair of dropkicks, knocking the Synthmeisters to the outside. He's soon joined by Frankie, who gets clotheslined over the top rope. The Man of Tomorrow and "Usher" Mann then take a crack at the Boiz, and they backdropped over the top for their troubles. For the second time tonight, the Boiz take out both the Bruisers and Heavenly Rockers, this time with stereo TOPES (swing over the top rope and crash onto opponents with cross bodyblock). Frank, the legal man, tossed back inside the ring. The Marv climbs on the apron and comes off the top with a BIG SPLASH onto Frank. ONE... TWO... TH-- NO, Frank BENCH PRESSES The Marv before throwing him over the referee! The master of the 69 catches Marv getting up with a kick to the midsection. Irish whip. The Marv ducks underneath an attempted Soonerline, only for he and Frank to bombed with a MISSLE DROPKICK from Logan Mann! Logan covers Frank. ONE... TWO... KICKOUT! Logan throws Marv back down, and covers him. ONE... TWO... TH-- NO! Logan sprints over to his corner and makes the tag to Synth. The Synthmeister comes in a house afire. Taking Frank and Marv out with clotheslines and dropkicks. He catches the Man of Tomorrow sneaking up from behind with a back kick, then a bodyslam. He runs over to the corner and jumps onto the second turnbuckle. Unbeknownst to him, The Marv tails him and takes the drummer of the Heavenly Rockers down with a second rope ARMDRAG TAKEDOWN. The Marv tags out. Hell Mel stands giddy in the center of the ring apron, waiting for Synth to get up. SPRINGBOARD HURRICARANA! COLE Will this be enough? ONE... TWO... NO! Synth counters into a sunset flip following a stiff KICK to the forehead by Frankie. ONE... TWO... NO, count broken up. Frankie hammers Synth with right hands. Synth fighting back with rights of his own, but they don't have the same impact coming from down on his knees as they would standing up. Frankie whips Synth across the ring, clotheslining him in the corner. He pulls him out and plants him into the canvas with a belly-to-belly suplex. Getting a nearfall. Irish whip reversed. Frank puts the brakes on and kicks a prone Synth in the shoulder with a kick, the bubble gum the Synthmeister was chewing sent flying into the crowd after a Soonerline. Frankie BARKS around Synth, only to be knocked off his feet by a spin heel kick from Hell Mel! In the background, Synth uses the bottom rope to pull himself towards his corner. In the foreground, the Boiz with a double-team suplex. Marv exits. STANDING MOONSAULT by Hell Mel. ONE... TWO... TH-- NO, save made by Logan. Things starting to become heated now, as Logan and Hell Mel trade blows. Frankie tags out, a grinning Frank coming back in. As Logan and Mel continue trading blows, Frank drops to the mat and starts doing pushups. Logan and Mel stop fighting and stare at Frank. The Man of Tomorrow looks up... * WHAM, BAM * ...Hell Mel with a right, Logan with a left! Logan and Mel pummel Frank in the corner. They bring him out, double kneelift, and then shoot him to the ropes. They each grab one of Frank's tree trunk-like arms and take him up for a DOUBLE HIP TOSS -- but he lands on his feet and flips backwards, taking both men down with a pair of Soonerlines! Frank scoopes Logan up, waistlock into an overhead belly-to-belly suplex. Frank tries the same on Mel, but Hell Mel lands on his feet and hits the ropes. He slides through Frank's legs and stuns him with a standing dropkick, spinning Frank around and straight into a SMALL PACKAGE. The crowd rise to their feet in excitement. COLE This is how the Sk8ter Boiz have been winning their matches -- with luck! ONE... TWO... TH-- NO! Hell Mel tags The Marv. The Marv comes in and immediately makes an impact...on the ring...missing a spinning heel kick. Front facelock by Frank, clubbering The Marv in the back with a hard forearm shot, then double underhooking the arms. From the apron, Hell Mel swings over the top rope and onto the second rope in the ring and dives onto Frank with a CROSS BODYBLOCK! He rolls off. The Marv grabs both of Frank's legs and floats over. ONE... TWO... THREE! Logan breaks up the pin a second too late. * DING DING DING DING * COLE BOIZ WIN! BOIZ WIN! BOIZ WIN! CABOOSE Unbelieveable. They did it again! Another win out of nowhere. COACH I ought to take these guys to Vegas with me while their luck is still hot. The Boiz slide out of the ring and grab the belts from Michael Buffer at ringside. Partly disappointed about having to endure more pain in title defenses, but happy they keep going to the pay window. The Sooner Bruisers and Heavenly Rockers look on in shock in the ring. The Marv and Hell Mel run up the aisle slapping hands with the fans and hugging each other, clutching the tag titles tightly. They raise the belts on the rampway and are then attacked by the NEW NEW MIDNIGHT EXPRESS! COLE Damn them! Sarcastic Simon and Narcissistic Ned beating the Sk8ter Boiz with their own tag team titles, damnit. The Heavenly Rockers and Holly rush to the Boiz' aid, running off the NNMX and Cornette, but the damage has been done. The New New Midnight Express have sent a message to the World Tag Team champions. CABOOSE And everybody else who is leaving them for dead. And they've received it loud and clear.

NY, if you can have Cole or whoever make a quick announcement during the opening about the tag title match not taking place due to a rib injury sustained by Sarcastic Simon thanks to Logan Mann and his nightstick a couple weeks ago, and how we'll have more info Thursday on HD, that would be great. “I’D EAT YOU ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEE!” [COLOR=red][B]BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM![/B][/COLOR] The crowd rise to their feet as "Eat You Alive" by Limp Bizkit hits, signaling the champion’s arrival. A fired up Axel, draped in his leather coat, emerges through a cloud of smoke, looking a bit naked without the OAOAST Title wrapped around his waist. Halfway down to the ring, he stops and points to both sides of the crowd, then the ring… [COLOR=red][B]BOOM![/B][/COLOR] …and strikes the Crucifix Pose, setting off another round of pyro. Axel walks up the ring steps and climbs into the ring, climbing up to the second turnbuckle and striking the CRUCIFIX POSE. "He's simply ravishing... [I]OWWWWWWW[/I]!" "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The OAOAST World Heavyweight Champion, Tony Brannigan, steps onto the stage admist a chorus of boos, the OAOAST Championship draped around the outside of his custom-made diamond and ruby-embroidered black robe. The silver rubies on the collar sparkling under the lights; on the back, outlined in diamonds is a silver star with "TONY BRANNIGAN" written over it. COLE I'm getting goosebumps just sitting here at Sofa Central listening to the reaction both men received. The crowd is clearly pro-Axel, but that doesn't bother the OAOAST Champion one bit. Brannigan very confident coming into this match. So much in fact that he took time out of training for this match to go to the San Antonio Spurs NBA Finals victory celebration held last night. He hopes not to play the role of the Detriot Pistons here tonight at the Great Angle Bash. Tony climbs up the ring steps and calls over Earl Hebner to hold the ropes up for him. He enters the ring and brushes Axel away. The Champion removes his belt and holds it up in the air with both hands, receiving tons of heat from the Axel fans in attendence. Axel keeping his eyes locked on the title in the background. We know what he wants. * DING * DING * DING * DING * BUFFER This is the Great Angle Bash main event of the evening, set for one fall for the Heavyweight CHAMPIONSHIP of the World! When the bell rings your referee in charge of the action, senior official Earl Hebner. Introducing first, the challenger, to my left. He is the youngest OAOAST Champion in history. Tonight he's eager to regain the championship he worked so hard to win at AngleMania IV, and looks to join Anglesault, Caboose and Zack Malibu as the only men in OAOAST history to wear the championship on two separate occassions. Ladies and gentlemen, from Tasmania, Australia, weighing 255 pounds; he is a former Heavyweight Champion of the World, this...is...AXEL! Axel takes a step forward...CRUCIFIX POSE~! "AX-EL!" "AX-EL!" "AX-EL!" The boo birds begin flying as Buffer raises the microphone to his mouth. BUFFER And his opponent, to my right. Wearing black with silver trim, weighing in tonight at 272 1/2 pounds, from Rancho Magnifico in Hollywood, U.S.A.; a former HI-YAH International and two-time OAOAST World Tag Team champion, and tonight he comes in as the reigning and defending HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD; he's simply ravishing....TONY BRANNIGAN! A few cheers scattered here and there, certainly more than Tony's used to, but the crowd is still overwhelmingly in favor of Axel. Seemingly unfazed by the crowd reaction, Tony takes off his robe and poses, including the HIP SWIVEL~! BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready? Wrestling fans, are you ready? Then for the thousands in attendence and the millions watching around the world on pay-per-view; ladies and gentlemen, LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE! "YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Hebner is handed the belt which is raised in the air for all to see, then given to Michael Buffer to take back to the timekeepers table. * DING DING * The match begins with both men circling around the ring, the OAOAST Champion trying to psych out his opponent by doing a double bicep pose. Axel responds with his trademark CRUCIFIX POSE, getting the crowd rowdy. Collar-and-elbow tie-up, Brannigan wasting no time breaking the rules, RAKING the eyes. Right hand connects to the jaw. Brannigan with another. Axel sent head-first into the top turnbuckle. Tony takes Axel out of the corner, doubling the former World Heavyweight Champion over with a kneelift to the midsection, followed by a couple of elbows to the back of the neck that drop Axel to his knees. The Champion stands over his fallen opponent and swivels his hips a la the late "Ravishing" Rick Rude. "BOOOOOOOOOOOO!" COLE The crowd not liking the actions of the Tony Brannigan. Personally, I can't blame them. Brannigan is a very arrogant person. But you cannot take away what he's done over the last year. His career left for dead, Tony went on to become part of perhaps the greatest tag team of all-time, Black T, and winning not only the OAOAST and HI-YAH tag team championships but the OAOAST World Heavyweight Title as well. Only 10 men have worn the OAOAST Title; 3 of which have done it on two separate occassions. Axel hoping to become the fourth man in OAOAST history to do so. COACH Hey, you also gotta love the fact Tony wants to do this on his own. He doesn't want The Original Elite's, specifically CWM's help. COLE Axel doesn't want any help either. COACH Ah, I'd take Brannigan's word over Axel's any day of the week. Because like The Coach, Tony tells it like it is. COLE What's with all the Tony Brannigan love? Are you trying to weasel your way into his entourage? COACH The Coach may need a new pair of shoes, but that doesn't mean I'm trying to leech off the champ. Unless of course T-Brann would say so. I mean, there's things I can do J.R. can't. The OAOAST Champion arrogantly flicks the sweat on his forehead on Axel, picking him up and punishing him some more with those forearm shots. Irish wh-- No, countered. Axel counters the Irish whip and catches Brannigan on the rebound with a NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! ONE... NO! Axel lets go and grabs his neck. His neck couldn't support all the weight from the bridge, not yet fully recovered from the attention it received earlier. Both men race to be the first to rise back to their feet. Tony misses a big lariat and is taken down with a Harlem Sidekick. The cover! ONE... TWO... TH-- KICKOUT! Tony catches Axel getting up with a kick. The two begin trading punches, Axel rocking Brannigan with a combination of rights and uppercuts. Brannigan swings and misses big. Axel with a STRONG clothesline to the back of the neck. Axel drops the leg across the back of the neck as Brannigan rises on all fours. The former champion taking the new champion over with a succession of snapmare takedowns. Kicking the champion hard in the back of the neck. He takes Brannigan up for a suplex, maybe for a brainbuster to continue focusing on the neck, but Tony stuns him with a slap to the gut, waistlocking Axel from behind and driving him straight into the corner where he repeatedly rams the shoulder into the back. Now kneelifts and forearm smashes to the small of the back. Tony turns Axel around and suplexes him out of the corner. Brannigan pops back to his feet and drops a round of elbows dangerously close to the throat -- so close he earns a warning from Earl Hebner. COLE Cover made, hooks the leg! ONE... TWO... TH-- KICKOUT. Brannigan sits Axel up and clamps a reverse chinlock, tightly squeezing the forearms across the sides of Axel's face. Hebner checks to see if the chinlock might be an illegal choke. It isn't. Axel summons the support of the crowd and gets to a vertical base, countering the chinlock into a back suplex. Tony rolls onto his side, Axel grabbing him with a waistlock to prevent Brannigan from getting up first. Brannigan blocks an attempted German Suplex by wrapping his left leg around Axel's. Standing switch. Now it's Tony who is trying to get Axel up for a German. Another standing switch. Axel pounding the back of Brannigan's neck with forearm smashes, weaking Tony enough to take him over for a GERMAN SUPLEX! Axel heads to the top. He times his flight and levels the World Heavyweight Champion with a TOP ROPE CLOTHESLINE! The cover. ONE... TWO... TH-- NO! Waistlock applied, Axel taking Tony up in the air and crotching him on his knee, compressing the spine with an inverted atomic drop. Brannigan squats around like he's sitting on a toilet, grimacing in pain. Axel stops Tony from trying to bail out of the ring, pulling back on the airbrushed tights of the champion and revealing Brannigan's perfectly tanned buttocks. Many of the fans laugh, with plenty of screaming female fans. Atomic drop! The OAOAST Champion pauses mid-ring in tremendous pain, the sweat rapidly dripping down his face and ripped chest. COACH Tony Brannigan may be the only guy in the world who manages to still look F-I-N-E -- fine -- while getting beat up. COLE My God, Coachman! You are looking to replace Jivin' J.R. Brannigan taken off his feet with a vicious lariat. He gets back up just to go back down. Chants of "AX-EL" echoing through the arena. Irish whip. Back bodydrop by the challenger. Axel CLOTHESLINES Tony over the top rope to the floor. He follows suit, going after Brannigan on the outside. Tony rammed head-first into the ring apron. Axel whipping the champion to the guardrail and clotheslining him against the railing. Axel gets a good 10 feet back and charges Brannigan, missing an avalanche splash and hitting nothing but the steel guardrail. Tony grabs a fan's can of BUDWEISER... "This Bud's for you!" ...and BASHES it against Axel's head! He follows up with roundhouse rights and forearm smashes. Tony locks on a front facelock and suplexes Axel on the arena floor! Brannigan steps on the apron and sticks his upper body through the middle rope to break up Earl Hebner's count. Once complete, Tony steps back out and drops an elbow from the apron! Cocky as ever, Tony Brannigan turns his back to a beautiful female fan ringside and clinches his buttocks in front of her! She reaches over the railing and squeezes Tony's BUTT cheeks until the always dependable Carl Winslow puts her in her place, drawing a huge "WINSSSSS-LOOOOOW" chant. Brannigan pats Winslow on the shoulder and tells him to "send her to my dressing room." Winslow nods, very slowly climbing over the guardrail, getting a good push from Tony, and escorts the lady away. Tony very nonchalantly picks Axel up, allowing the challenger to put Brannigan in a waistlock and drive him into the edge of the ring apron. An uppercut jerks Tony's head back, causing it to snap off the middle rope. Axel walks over to a fan who just happens to have on one of his t-shirts and grabs a can of FOSTER'S BEER. Axel pulls the tab, takes a sip...takes another and... No, he takes one more sip... "Foster's: Australian for beer!" ...then SMASHES it in to Tony's forehead! "YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH"! Axel throws the smashed beer can into the crowd, and Brannigan back into the ring. The cover! ONE... TWO... TH-- NO, KICKOUT! COLE Tony Brannigan just nearly became the first man in history to ever job due to a beer can. Front facelock into a STALLING VERTICAL SUPLEX by Axel. He steps on the apron and climbs up the turnbuckles, reaching the top in no time. He positions himself to his liking and dives off. TOP ROPE ELBOW DROP! ONE... TWO... TH-- SHOULDER UP! "YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH"! COACH Did--Did... Was it just me, Mikey, or did the crowd actually cheer Tony's kickout? COLE It wasn't you. I heard the exact same thing. What you're witnessing here tonight may be history in more ways than one. We may be seeing two warriors becoming legends in front of our very eyes. We just nearly saw a new World Champion crowned. But the current OAOAST Champion, Tony Brannigan, isn't giving up easily. 3 years paying his dues. Career left for dead. He even began doubting himself. I think the fans are beginning to see, that behind all the arrogance of the World Heavyweight Champion is a man who does have a heart. It may be black like his Black T and Original Elite partner Dan Black, but he has a heart. Axel goes back to the top, his hands locking together as he comes down. Tony puts the FOOT up in the air, but Axel grabs it on the way down and tries to turn him over in a single-leg crab, better known as the Axel Grinder, but Brannigan fights it off by kicking the challenger in the head with the heel of his silver boots. Axel lets go of the leg and shakes loose the cobwebs. As he turns around, he walks right into the clutches of the OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE -- but drives the point of the elbow into the shoulderblades of Tony as he's spun around, causing Brannigan to free him. Single-leg takedown into the AXEL GRINDER! Almost immediately Brannigan screams in pain, shaking his head and yelling "no." Axel pulls back tighter on the leg, but Tony still won't quit. The World Champion stratches and claws his way to the ropes, Hebner demanding Axel to break before the 5 count. On 4 1/2 Axel breaks. Brannigan uses the ropes to pull himself up. Axel suplexes him back to the center of the ring. He picks Tony up and kicks him in the JAW with a standing ENZURIGI! ONE... TWO... TH-- NO! The crowd CLAPS. They're happy to see this match continue. COACH I've never seen this type of reaction before, M.C. It's off the charts. COLE One of the most surreal things I've ever seen in my 8 years in sports entertain-- I mean, wrestling. Both men earning tons of respect tonight at the 2005 Great Angle Bash. Axel setting Tony up for either a piledriver or powerbomb. Most likely the latter, as Axel likes to use a sit-out powerbomb. Earl Hebner walks over to the corner and kicks a BEACH BALL out of the ring, which allows Tony Brannigan to nail Axel with a LOW BLOW, drawing a loud pop from the crowd. Earl turns around just in time to see Brannigan set Axel up for the ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT PILEDRIVER! His knee trembling, on the verge of buckling, Brannigan drills Axel head-first into the canvas with the AAP. But he can't make the pin. Still reeling from the enzurigi. Both men are down, sweaty, breathing heavily. And they're doing this all in the name of the OAOAST World Heavyweight Title.

I wasn't expecting that. Kinda ruins a couple of my plans, but... I'm pretty much open to anything, so we'll see. Edit: "Ruin" might be stretching it too much. Zack/SG winning the belts is something I can work around. In other news, apologies in advance if I'm a bit late with my PPV stuff. I'm half-way through a tag title match and just have the intros written for my portion of the ME due to my celebration of the Spurs winning the NBA championship. Nice guys do finish last!

Nevermind. Plans changed.
