The Women's stuff continues to deliver. Good promo by Ayane. The Mad Machine stuff was pretty wild as well. I'm liking the hotline gag during Gene's HI-YAH segments. Very enjoyable Black-Mel match. It also furthered the upstart/originals angle. Excellent segment with Stone, GPX and Axel. The CSI-Knight match was damn entertaining. Helluva beat down at the end. The skit between Black T, Zack and CWM was originally going to end with J.R. busting out of a giant cake wearing only a sash and saying "Surprise!", but I thought it was best not to end that segment with a comedy bit. The night ended with two great final matches. First the GPX-Zack/SG tag match, with chaotic brawl at the end with all the run-ins and priceless intros by Static, and then the Street Fight between CWM and Axel. A couple of weeks ago we had an HD I said was probably my favorite of all-time... well, no more. This is probably my favorite HD yet. Awesome job by everyone.

Without giving too much away, I ensure you it won't go that far. As corny as this may sound, my intention is to get people emotionally involved with Holly and Logan. There's a bond there. It should be, they're dating. Like Holly said, it was a message being sent to Logan through her. I do, however, like the idea of Holly standing up to whoever is behind these games. She's tough. Not to toot my own horn, but I'm very proud of the match. I hate having to write on the day of the show but I took so long getting to work on my promo and backstage skit that that's exactly what happened. I'm a streaky writer. Once I get on a roll I kept rolling. Luckily for me, I got on a roll for the NNMX-Bruisers match. Onto the show... Excellent Hoff promo. Smart idea not to open the show with the traditional -- and very predictable -- "promo from new champion". I love how we constantly put over the OAOAST Championship. Heel or face, it doesn't matter. Everybody wants it. Black T's arrival was awesome. Arrogant as hell. The angle shot between the Boiz and Black was nicely done, as was the Peter Knight/Josie skit afterwards. Loved the intensity in Axel's promo. at Rodez' "...some of the greatest nights of my life have been with crazy masked women" line. Nice to see some development on Blonde and Faqu's characters. Fun interaction between Rodez and Jade. The Women's division really begin to take off. I'll feedback the rest tomorrow. Just wanted to get in a few words on this jammed packed show.

Very good Zack/SG-Crystal skit, setting up their match later very nicely. Zack and Crystal always have good chemistry together. Team Otaku with a short to the point promo. Leon's out of nowhere ramble at the end was pretty funny. Me wantie a CSI shirt. Quality clothes at a quality price. Good segment. Nice debut for The Punisher. Loved the HI-YAH hotline. Not only did they have a new champion but a new president as well. The "control center" atmosphere was an excellent touch. Somebody should make a graphic that we could use for our PPV run downs. Stick a pic of Macho Man, or whoever, in front of a black background w/PPV logo in upper right hand corner and date underneath. Anybody else notice more women characters pop up AFTER the Women's Title disappears? At least this time it looks like the Women's division will receive a better amount of attention. Excellent tag match involving Crystal/Gunner vs. Zack & SG. Well-written Stone, GPX, Axel skit. Followed by an awesome, super intense Hoff promo. I gotta give credit to NYU for the closing of the ME, which I ripped directly from the novel of a PM he sent me with the exception of the commentary. It was so well-written, much better than anything I would of done that I had to keep it. As for the lack of commentary towards the end, I honestly didn't notice it. I've really been slacking off writing openings and match commentary, something I did really well when I re-read some of the older shows as I posted them at NGA backup OAOAST forum. I guess the best explaination I can give is the announcers were shocked at what they saw. Imagine my surprise when I found out I was becoming champion. In my feedback for the ME of SO, which I never got to post but liked along with everything else, I had written how that match should've happened at LA with Brannigan-Axel happening at SO. Minutes later I received a PM informing me of what was going down and... whoa. I just hope my title reign doesn't bomb.

Well, just words from the new champion. Don't think I'll be able to get the tag match in this week.

OAOAST Tag Team Title Sk8ter Boiz © vs. Hell's Hitmen

Ah, crap. I was going to say you at first then I started questioning whether it was you or Zack, and since it was late at night and I was too lazy to check who wrote it I credited Zack. When it doubt, go with Zack. Still, I'd probably take anybody elses promo skills over my. My brain goes blank when it comes time to write a promo. PK, I thought your match worked really well. Everything worked out like you said in your post.

Love the new flashy logo. "User posted image" In all seriousness, since the link no longer works maybe it's time for a new HD logo. Great opening segment. Thanks to whoever wrote my portion. I've been paying a wee bit more attention to the Spurs' run in the NBA playoffs than my writing. But since they are in the NBA Finals it's worth it. Hot damn! That Rodez-GPX segment makes me wish I had one-tenth of the talent Zack does writing promos. Which is probably a good thing I wasn't able to write my own promo in the opening segment. One good segment followed by another with CSI and PK. Got a kick out of the Caboose/Cole bit after the Brock/Heyross/PK skit. Enjoyed the Static-Rodez match. Liked the involvement of Wright and Bohemoth. I know I've been saying this a lot lately, but it's true. The Sk8ter Boiz segment turned out a 100-times better than it had any right being. I waited so long to actually start writing my stuff for this week -- today, FYI -- I thought I might not be able to send anything in. IMO, I got on a roll after The Marv's "writer's block" comment and the segment really took off. The ending isn't as crisp and clean as I would of liked but seeing how I wrote it in a hurry it's respectable. The Mrs. O'Green character was a shout out to Patty for giving the team once known as The Fanboys an extreme makeover. I thought Stone's promo did a great job making people question whether or not Hoff might actually consider taking a walk on the wild side. Short but interesting main event. Didn't see the Brock turn coming at all. Wouldn't mind see any members of CSI get involve in the tag division too. Loved the show this week. It was short, which made it quicker and easier to read, but it also had some good stuff in there like Hoff said. I'd even go as far as calling it one of my Top 10 favorite shows. I couldn't tell you what the first 9 were but... You can tell I enjoyed the show. Next week's show sounds pretty damn good too. Axel-Brannigan II, Sk8ter Boiz first title defense agianst Hell's Hitmen, etc.

Sk8ter Boiz segment

Some feedback. Will do the rest later. Poor NNMX. They never seem to be able to keep the tag titles. The ref stop false finish is borrowed from the Thrillseekers-Heavenly Bodies match from SMW where Jericho loses a great deal of blood wrestling with a broken arm. I learned from the past when The Love Doctors got too strong when they began feuding with Black T and I didn't want to repeat history with The Sk8ter Boiz. That's why I believe the loss of blood The Marv sustained did a lot for the Boiz as it showed the underdogs who know they're underdogs have heart. BBB-Blonde/Charles: Entertaining. I was marking out when Lil' Naitch got the tag and came in chopping away. WHOOOOOOO~! at "Now...we go to kindergarten!!" Bonus points for calling 2001 "Sprach Zarathustra". Maybe we could use FIYAH as HIYAH's European sister promotion. And EH for Canada. PK-Richards: It was short but still enjoyable. Loved the naming of Stevens' stable CSI. While it probably refers to HD airing on Thursdays, I like how the show CSI actually airs that night too, maybe intended as a double-meaning. I'm actually surprised to see praise for The Heavenly Rockers-Sooner Bruisers match. It went through a massive rewrite the afternoon of the show as I was embarrassed by the original version. I had finished the six-man tag match for HD on Tuesday and just needed to touch it up a bit before moving onto my PPV matches when I realized how weak the six-man was so I went back and spent the next two days rewriting it because I didn't want to half-ass something FM thought I'd do a better job writing. The six-man turned out well, but I thought my two matches at SO, specifically the Rockers-Bruisers match, weren't as good as it could've been. Good Hoff promo before his match. Good match as well. The 3 Way Dance can only be described in one word: Awesome. I also noticed my character wasn't referred to as "The Body" anywhere in the match. In a way it finally ended the streak of constantly being referred to by that moniker long ago dropped, but it was a Zack special so I kinda miss it. Edit: Excellent job with the graphics, Papacita.

I know what you mean. I'm a little burned out right now after having written a six-man and two tag matches this past week, and I wrote most of the Sooner Bruisers-Heavenly Rockers match earlier today, so I was too tired to deal with the little things. Still haven't read Thursday's HD or any of the PPV yet. Just think of it as a retro OAOAST show, where we hardly bothered to do small things like that. The opening, or lack thereof, was by design. I was trying to capture the feel of being relieved school was over and you were ready to start your summer, etc.

Show is up in HE.

Disregard my above post. Just received the match. Show should be up within 10 minutes.

Just need one more thing and the show will be done. I'll wait until 11 pm eastern, otherwise we'll just edit it in.

COLE Well, after a wild ride tonight at School’s Out, this is it. The richest prize in our sport is on the line in this Main Event Ladder Match. And this isn’t just about the title guys; Axel and Crystal have a storied history. CABOOSE Absolutely Michael, these two have been partners in and outside the ring, and in singles competition they are tied at one win a piece. This is the rubber match, this is the main event. COACH We all know the history. Axel and Crystal met on the independent scene before even coming to the One and Only AngleSault thread. They wrestled in Detroit where they were part of the Bleeding Souls stable which also included AJ Flaire and Crystal’s current right hand man, Gunner Sharps. Crystal came to this company, with Axel not far behind. They had two titanic battles at AngleMania’s three and four, with Crystal winning last year and Axel getting the victory this year, but not without a great struggle. Now Axel is the OAOAST World Heavyweight Champion, a title that Crystal held last year for two months, and the Female Phenom is hell bent on getting the championship back in her possession. COLE Crystal got this shot by defeating Hoff last month at Living Angleously, and she intends to make good use of it. HeldDown General Manager Josie Baker made this match a ladder match two weeks ago, which only makes the pressure on these two athletes that much higher. Coach and Caboose have some keys to victory, but before that, let’s go backstage where Jackie Gayda is standing by with the reigning OAOAST World Heavyweight Champion, Axel. *Cut to Jackie and Axel in front of the School’s Out Logo* JACKIE Axel, in just a few moments you face Crystal in our Main Event ladder match. Your thoughts? AXEL Well, here we are. School’s Out 2005, the Main Event. We’re past all the guest referee spots, the comedy matches, the sneak attacks, the build up, the videos, the promos, the talking. That’s all over Crystal. But before I go out there, I have but one thing to say. This is it. After tonight, no more Axel versus Crystal. Tonight we finally decide who is best. *Cut back to Sofa Central* COLE Well a very adamant Axel there. COACH Adamant! HAHAHA! HIS NAME’S ADAM! CABOOSE You really don’t amuse anyone. You aren’t funny. Just quit. Quit now. No one would care. Seriously. We don’t like you. Go away. You are nothing. You’re a pathetic little man who tries to crack jokes all the time. COACH … COLE Wow, I won’t disagree, but damn that was strong. Coach, how can Axel win this match? COACH *sniff* COLE Stop your whining. Anyway, Axel is six-five, two fifty-five, so he has a distinct height and leverage advantage. He’s a 4 year pro who has won championships in his home country of Australia, in Japan, and here in the US, so he’s well-traveled, and has adapted to many different styles. His primary focus in matches is his opponent’s neck, which really doesn’t give him an advantage over Crystal. He’d be much better served going back to his game plan when he was a rookie here in the OAOAST of going after the legs and trying to lock in his old submission move, the Axel Grinder Single Leg Crab, because we all know how hard it is to climb a ladder on one leg. I think Axel’s biggest asset though, is his power and his ability to think on his feet. After coming back from Japan Axel added the Brainbuster and the Running Enziguri to his move set, and we saw last month in his match against Tony Brannigan his ability to reverse moves, and even reverse the reversals! CABOOSE None of that matters in a ladder match Michael Cole, none of it! It’s all about speed in a ladder match. Your ability to knock your opponent off of their feet or out of the ring, run up that ladder and grab the prize. That is where Crystal has the advantage. She has speed, grace, and athleticism. The Female Phenom is.. JR QUICKER THAN A BAH GAWD HICCUP! CABOOSE What the hell is he doing here? Getting back to Crystal, she’s got speed, and the experience advantage on Axel; she’s been here for a good two and a half years, when Axel has been here for about 20 months. Crystal proved two weeks in a row that she is more powerful than anyone gives her credit for, picking a two hundred fifty-five pound man up for his own finishing move the Axel Slam, twice. But if this match comes down to a race to the top, The Female Phenom will win every single time, hands down. She’s walking out tonight, she has to. Axel’s been way too happy lately, his head can’t be totally focused. I’ve exposed your lies baby And underneath is no big surprise Now it’s time for changing and cleansing everything To forget your love BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! “Plug In Baby” blares over the loudspeakers as the Female Phenom makes her way through the smoke left from the pyrotechnics. Crystal stops to relish the boos that she is receiving. The Female Phenom walks down the ramp, past the ladder that is set up half way, looking at the device like it is the key to all her troubles, which it could well be tonight. Referee and former star Seattle and Indiana Power Forward Detlef Schrempf says a few words to Crystal, as ‘Plug In Baby’ dies down. “I’D EAT YOU ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEE!” BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!! Fred Durst fills the area, which is definitely not a good thing on its own, but the crowd isn’t cheering for the Bizkit, they are cheering for the man the song represents, the OAOAST Champion, Axel, who makes his way out to the ring. The champion has an inverted pair of tights with red being the dominant color, with red gloves and black armbands. The OAOAST Championship belt is around his waist, and Axel points this out to the massive crowd, who respond with even more cheers. Axel, super serious look on his face, stops halfway down the entrance ramp, points left, points right, points with both hands at the ring, and Crystal.. BOOOOOOOM! …and does the Crucifix Pose, enticing another pop from the crowd. The champion charges the ring and slides under the bottom rope, with Crystal exiting the other side, wanting no part of her opponent. Axel jumps up to the second rope on one of the four turnbuckles (pick which one you like most), and unclips the belt, holding it in his right hand as he makes the crucifix pose to the crowd again. COLE The champion has dropped the carefree attitude that he and Hoff have displayed in the weeks leading up to this event, saying last week on HeldDown that it was time for this issue to be resolved once and for all! CABOOSE I’ve been looking forward to this all night Cole. Axel and Crystal are 1 win apiece in singles competition, and Crystal pinned Axel three weeks ago in a tag match with Axel’s own move, the Axel Slam! Crystal is going to take the OAOAST Championship tonight, or she’s going to die trying! Axel jumps off of the ropes where Referee Schrempf is waiting for his OAOAST World Championship belt. Axel hands it over, and Detlef clasps the heavy showpiece onto the metal ring, which is soon raised a good fifteen feet in the air. COLE My god, that belt must be thirty, forty, maybe fifty feet high above this arena! CABOOSE Give it a rest. COACH *whimper* The two wrestlers face each other in opposite corners, with Michael buffer and the referee in the centre of the ring. Buffer begins his introductions. MICHAEL BUFFER The Following Ladder Match is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the OAOAST Heavyweight Championship OF THE WOOOOOOORLD! Introducing first, in the corner to my left wearing purple and black, the challenger, weighing in tonight at one hundred fifty five pounds, widely considered the greatest female wrestler in the history of the wrestling business, she is a former OAOAST World Heavyweight champion and OAOAST Twenty-Four Seven Champion. From Coquitlam, British Columbia, she is The FEMALE PHENOM… CRYYYYYYYYYSSSSTTTTTTTAALLLLLL!!!!!!!!! Crystal stays stationary and hardly salutes the fans, who respond in kind with a huge negative reaction for the challenger. BUFFER And Crystal’s opponent, in the corner to my right, wearing red and black. He weighs in tonight at two hundred fifty-eight pounds, a man who has done almost everything that it is possible to do in One and Only AngleSault Thread Wrestling, a former Revolution Trophy winner, Twenty-Four Seven Champion, first-ever HI-YAH World Champion and 2005 Lethal Rumble winner, he is the current holder of the One and Only AngleSault Thread Professional Heavyweight Wrestling Championship of the WOOOOOOOOOORLLLLLLDDDDD… Originally hailing from Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, and currently residing in Indianapolis, Indiana, Ladies and Gentlemen, THIS. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAXXXXXXELLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!! The OAOAST Champion does a quick Crucifix pose for the ringside faithful, and is bombarded with red and black streamers, which soon fill the ring, to his surprise. Axel removes his jacket and discards it ringside, and Crystal does the same. The crowd starts a small ‘AX-EL! AX-EL!’ chant, which soon becomes arena-wide, causing the champion to flash an evil smirk. The champion then peers up at his belt, and then looks on to his opponent, and former partner. Crystal looks at the belt as well, but chooses to step toward Axel and tell the champion that she will soon have the title that he holds. Axel and Crystal go face to face in the centre of the ring, as Schrempf calls for the bell to start the contest. *DING DING DING* Almost straight after the bell sounds, Crystal shocks Axel with a hard slap to the side of the face, which catches Axel unawares, sending the champion back a step. The challenger follows the slap up with a stiff kick to the stomach of her opponent, who slumps into the corner. Crystal connects with a right hand to the face of Axel, followed by a second, and another boot, and another right hand, pummeling the champion with hard shots. The Female Phenom grabs the left hand of the challenger, and sends him to the opposite corner turnbuckle. Axel reverses the whip, however, and sends Crystal into the corner. The champion follows this by charging to that corner and attempting a clothesline, but Crystal is able to get her legs up and dropkick the champion in the face, sending Axel staggering backward. Crystal charges at Axel, Axel ducks a clothesline attempt, Crystal turns around, AND RIGHT INTO A HARLEM SIDE KICK! COLE Great opening exchange by Axel and Crystal, Crystal really got the better of the champion on that occasion using her speed, but Axel got the take down with a beautiful Harlem Side Kick. Axel grabs Crystal by the head and lifts her to her feet, connecting with a knee to the midsection, and then locking in a front face lock, preparing for a suplex. He takes Crystal up, but the challenger slips down the champions back, hooking a waist lock, and taking him over for a German Suplex! Crystal gets straight up from the German, mounting Axel and teeing off on the champion with hard right hands to the temple! CABOOSE Ha ha, now this is how you take someone apart, cold, hard shots to the head. COLE Man, Crystal is vicious with those shots! She’s like a woman possessed! This is how much she wants the OAOAST Championship! Crystal lets up on Axel - perhaps not a wise move - and starts to walk to the ropes, to go to the outside. Axel won’t let the challenger get to the all important ladder first though, as he tries his best to get to his feet, finally managing to, and stopping Crystal before she exits the ring. The champion goes on the offensive, connecting with a right, and sending Crystal to the other side of the ring. Crystal comes off, and gets sent for a high BAAAAAACK Body Drop to the canvas by Axel, who follows up with an elbow drop to the sternum. Crystal instinctively sits up and tries to catch her breath, but Axel doesn’t give her a second recovery. He hooks her head and raises her up, from her seated position, in a delayed vertical suplex. Instead of finishing the move though, he hotshots, her chest first, on the top rope! Crystal manages to gather herself up a bit and land on the apron as gracefully as someone can in the situation, but Axel elbows her off the apron and she goes crashing down to the floor! COLE Axel has the clear advantage here and it looks like he’s going for the ladder now! And indeed he is. He goes the aisle way and grabs the ladder without interruption. He goes to slide it into the ring, but changes his mind and takes it with him toward Crystal. She is slowly recovering when she sees Axel with the ladder. She only gets a split second to react as Axel chucks the ladder at her. She catches it and, predictably, gets the ladder in the face courtesy of a Test-like boot. COACH Ouch! “AX-EL!” “AX-EL!” “AX-EL!” Axel picks up the ladder and sets it up so it’s balancing between the apron and barrier. He picks up Crystal and whips her toward the ladder, but Crystal ducks last second. As Crystal turns back around, Axel grabs her by the hair and tries to drag her back over the ladder, but Crystal thinks fast and kicks him the nuts. CABOOSE HA! Anything goes! COLE I hate to agree with you Caboose, but you’re right, that is a legal move in this contest! Axel holds his, uh boys, in pain, Crystal backs up a bit, takes a running start, and does a baseball slide underneath the ladder, connecting with Axels left knee. Satisfied that Axel is down for a bit, Crystal goes to the ring announcer and ranks him out of his chair. She grabs the chair and folds it up. She waits by the ring post for Axel to get up, obviously with EVIL~! Intentions. Crystal runs towards Axel, but Axel thinks quick and does a drop toehold so Crystal lands face first on the ladder…with the chair too! Crystal goes down like as shot holding her face as the crowd goes crazy for Axel! COLE Crystal could have broken her nose on that move! She tried to take Axel’s head off, but in the end it was her face that felt the force of the steel chair! Grabbing the ladder, Axel slides in the ring and sets it up. He starts to climb it and is slightly favoring his knee on the way. But Crystal isn’t going that easily. She quickly slides into the ring and pushes the ladder. Axel gets knocked off and is hotshotted on the top rope, much like what Axel did to Crystal not 5 minutes ago. Axel holds his throat in pain while Crystal attempts to wipe away the blood now gushing out of her probably broken nose. She sneers towards Axel and flicks her blood on him before picking up the ladder herself, only she isn’t setting it up in the middle of the ring. Crystal puts the ladder so it’s sandwiching Axel’s right shoulder, and slams it down repeatingly. With every slam, the boos increase towards the Female Phenom. She finally stops with narrowed eyes and sneer the crowd, a facial expression that’s emphasized with all the blood on her face. COLE Did Crystal just go for the knee a few minutes ago? Why is she suddenly going for the shoulder? CABOOSE Crystal’s not thinking straight Cole; she wants to hurt Axel in as many ways as she can. Crystal wants to incapacitate the champion so much that he can’t even move, let alone climb a ladder. Crystal grabs Axel’s left leg and wraps it up in the ladder. She picks the ladder and slams it down, so that Axel’s knee bends awkwardly to the side. Crystal grabs the ladder again and this time sets it up for the win. Before she is barely one step on the ladder, she is yanked off by Axel and he just nails her with a clothesline! The champion then decides to not go fro the win just yet, but to wear his opponent down some more. Grabbing Crystal by the hair, Axel forces her back into the corner, before sending the Female Phenom for an Irish Whip, causing her to knock over the ladder! Axel uses the opportunity to set the ladder up on the ground to try and inflict some more pain on Crystal. The champion grabs Crystal once again and this time hooks her in a front face lock, before lifting her up for a Vertical Suplex, and dropping Crystal down across the ladder back first! COLE What a move! Crystal’s back has to be just killing her! CABOOSE Ah bollocks. She’ll come back. Crystal rolls around in pain on the canvas as a result of the battering her back just sustained at the hands of the OAOAST Champion. Axel follows the move up with a quick knee drop to the face of Crystal, then grabbing her by the hair on the ground, and beginning to tee off on the Female Phenom, connecting with vicious right hands! Axel then lifts Crystal to her feet, sending her for an Irish Whip, but suddenly reversing it, and taking Crystal down with a LARIATOOOOO!!!!! COLE LARIATOOOOOOO!!! By Axel there! Crystal is down early, and she’s hurt! Axel grabs Crystal once again, and this time gives her a scoop slam onto the canvas. The champion soon follows that move up with a leg drop across the throat of Crystal, but Axel grabs at his knee after the move, obviously having injured it slightly after the battering it took at the hands of the ladder earlier. Axel then mounts Crystal again, taking to the Female Phenom with rights and elbows, with the Washington crowd behind every blow! COLE Axel’s doing exactly what he said he was going to do guys! He promised to hurt Crystal, and hurt she is! Blood streaming from her nose, and she must be on dream street right now! Crystal struggles to her feet, with the help of Axel, who lifts the former OAOAST Champion to a vertical base. A hard shot by Axel to Crystal’s forehead, and then a stiff boot to the midsection follow, with the champ grabbing the left arm of Crystal and sending her for an Irish Whip. Crystal comes off of the ropes, and takes Axel down with a SPEAR! Crystal can’t follow up on the move though, as she grabs her back and the back of her head, lying on the mat in obvious pain, the blood starting to dry up around her nose. The Female Phenom finally is able to get up and capitalize on her spear, connecting with a stiff boot to the head of the OAOAST Champion. Crystal steadies, and then grabs the ladder, throwing it on top of Axel, and then quickly landing a standing Moonsault, sandwiching Axel between the ladder and the canvas! COLE Wow! Crystal hurt herself on that move, but I think she hurt Axel more! Beautiful standing Moonsault onto the ladder by the Female Phenom! CABOOSE She is willing to put it all on the line tonight Michael, Crystal could care less if she hurts herself, she wants to become the OAOAST Champion once again! Crystal rolls around in pain on the mat for a second after that taxing move, clutching her chest and midsection. COACH Hehe, chest. CABOOSE I meant what I said. Go away. Crystal gets to her feet and grabs the ladder, setting it up in the middle of the ring, with Axel still down on the canvas. The Female Phenom gets her foot to the second rung of the ladder, but again she is stopped by The OAOAST Champion, who grabs her other leg, preventing her from going any further. Axel then grabs the back of Crystal’s tights, earning a pop from the immature teenage boys in the crowd, before yanking her off the ladder and to the canvas. Axel then decides that he wants to try and obtain his championship belt, but Crystal will have none of that, grabbing Axel around the waist, and dropping him from an extra foot or two down to the canvas with a back suplex! With the champion sprawled on the canvas, Crystal inflicts some pain of her own, putting the boots in, and trying to wear the champion down with stiff boots to the back of the head and the back of Axel. The challenger grabs Axel by the hair and hooks him up, before delivering a beautiful Butterfly Suplex! COLE Great technical form by Crystal, textbook Butterfly Suplex, and it looks like that’s not the last one! Crystal rolls through, keeping Axel’s arms hooked, and delivering a second Butterfly Suplex, but still not finished, The Female Phenom delivers a third suplex, holding the OAOAST Champion in the air for a couple of seconds, and this time launching Axel into the ladder upside down, and back first, causing the structure to fall over, and Axel’s back to be mashed! Axel clutches at his back, which has been the subject of much torture in the match so far! CABOOSE Wow, I think there will be a fair few welts on Axel’s back after that exchange between him and the ladder. He lost, for those of you keeping score. Crystal takes the opportunity to catch her breath, and suddenly gets an idea. The crowd get behind Axel as he tries desperately to shut out the pain and get to his feet, but he cannot do so. COLE Crystal should really be going for the win here, but it seems that she’s come up with a plan! CABOOSE Michael, we’ve seen that every time so far in this contest that someone has attempted to go fro the championship belt, their opponent has been right there to beat the piss out of them. Neither Axel or Crystal are at the stage in this match up where they could definitely win, both of them still have a fair bit left in the tank. Crystal obviously has an idea that will physically burden Axel, and it looks like that idea involves another ladder! Indeed it does, as Crystal rolls to the outside and obtains another ladder from underneath the ring. The Female Phenom slides the metal structure into the squared circle and, seemingly happy with her work, rolls Axel on top of the ladder. COLE Well one thing is for sure guys, whatever Crystal has planned; Axel isn’t going to like it! Crystal grabs the first ladder and tries to set it up, before realizing that Axel’s body damaged it slightly. Crystal has to then take the time to fix the ladder and bend it back into place, which she does quite easily. COACH Wow, she did that pretty easily for a girl! CABOOSE First off, you’re going to get thrown off of the team for making comments like tha- actually, good call Coach, just keep insulting various races, colors, creeds, sexualities and genders, you’ll be just fine. COACH I don’t like Swiss people! CABOOSE That’s right, keep going with that. With the ladder fixed, Crystal takes the opportunity to set it up near the corner, nowhere near the blatantly obvious OAOAST Championship belt above her. The Female Phenom then proceeds to climb the rungs, reaching the third or fourth one, before taking the opportunity to taunt a few fans who have started a small, but noticeable ‘AX-EL!’ chant. Crystal jumps off… COLE What’s she looking for…? MOONSAULT! CABOOSE YES! NO! …AXEL MOVES AND CRYSTAL DRIVES HER OWN BODY INTO THE LADDER! COLE AXEL DODGED A BULLET! HE MOVED AND CRYSATL ATE LADDER! A quite substantial ‘HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!’ chant starts up, with Crystal rolling around on the mat, in a lot of discomfort. The OAOAST Champion, hunched in the corner, pulls himself up, one hand grasping his back, and looks at Crystal, pain etched on her face. His expression suddenly turns to one of perhaps satisfaction from seeing Crystal down and hurt, showing his obvious hatred for the Female Phenom. CABOOSE How can he be happy? She could have internal injuries! She could be hurt real bad! COLE After all that she’s put him through, you bet your ass he’s happy! Axel has been waiting for Crystal to feel this kind of pain ever since she screwed him all the way back at Zero Hour in February! He must be loving this! Axel lets Crystal wallow in her own self pity for a while, grabbing the upright ladder and setting it up in the middle of the ring, and grabbing the second ladder and setting that one up as well. Axel walks over to Crystal and lifts her up once again to her feet, but knocks her straight back down with a stiff uppercut! Axel grabs Crystal once again and this time sends her for an Irish Whip, Crystal comes off of the ropes once again, ducks an Axel Lariat attempt, comes off of the other side… Spinning Heel Kick by Crystal! Axel goes down, but not for long, as he’s up to his feet soon thereafter, trying to regain his composure, while Crystal is still clutching at her ribs, one of which could be broken. Axel decides that now is a better time than any to climb one of the ladders and try to grab his OAOAST Championship belt, so he does so, but Crystal isn’t far behind. Starting off with a head start, Axel and Crystal are next to each other on each of the different ladders, and Crystal soon catches up to the champion. A tussle breaks out, Crystal going for right hands to the side of Axel’s head, and Axel elbowing the Female Phenom in the ribs. Crystal suddenly climbs up two rungs to be ahead of Axel, and attempts to grab the belt! CABOOSE She’s gonna get it! She’s inches away! Axel stops Crystal from grabbing a hold of the championship however, connecting with an unprotected shot to the ribs of Crystal, which are now obviously injured. Crystal winces in pain and instinctively grabs at her ribs, giving Axel an opportunity to grab the Female Phenom by the legs, and lift her into a powerbomb position! COLE Oh my god! They’re ten feet in the air! Don’t do this! Axel steadies, and then flies off for a POWEROMB!!!!! …BUT CRYSTAL TURNS IT INTO A HURRICANRANA! CABOOSE YES! YES! COLE MY GOD! HURRICANRANA OOF FO THE LADDER! TEN, FIFTEEN FEET IN THE AIR AXEL DID A FRONT FLIP TO THE CANVAS! The crowd, while not Crystal supporters, popped for the move anyway, because it was unexpected, and looked great. With both Crystal and Axel down on the mat, Referee Schrempf decides to check both champion and challenger to see if either is able to continue, not that he could do anything if they were not, because its no DQ and no count outs. COLE That was incredible! Both challenger and champion are down, and it could be a race now to see who can get to their feet first! CABOOSE Hat right there showed you what Crystal is willing to do. That was an amazing counter; the Female Phenom deserves to walk out of this match the OAOAST Champion. COLE Well if Axel can recover, then I will have to disagree! Crystal is the first to get to her feet, but Axel soon follows, both looking a little worse for ware after that Hurricanrana off of the ladder. Crystal charges at Axel and connects with a hard forearm to the side of the champions head, and a second, followed by a chop, but Axel soon comes back with a two quick right hands, and then a third equally as hard! Crystal comes back with a thumb to the eye, which incapacitates Axel for a second, allowing the Female Phenom to connect with a nice dropkick, knocking Axel down! Crystal is on the canvas for a moment as well, but she regains some composure and heads for the ladder. The challenger gets to the second rung, albeit slowly, before Axel makes it to his feet and starts climbing the other side. Axel sees Crystal is almost at the top, so he takes the opportunity to go for the ribs again, this time on opposite sides of the ladder. Axel joins Crystal near the top of the ladder, and the two tee off again, with right hands and elbows running rampant. For a moment it looks as if the ladder is going to tip over, but both wrestlers regain their balance and prevent it from happening. Axel grabs Crystal by the hair finally, hitting a hard right hand which incapacitates the Female Phenom. Axel then hooks Crystal’s head in a front face lock, which causes the crowd to suddenly grow in volume. The roar even becomes louder still when Axel yells ‘BRAINBUSTER!!!’ to the massive sea of fans! COLE No, now you can’t tell me he’s honestly going to try this. This is too much, Axel, think about what you’re doing to this woman. I know you hate her, but come on! CABOOSE I agree Cole! This is too much! He can’t do this! This could be career ending! Axel hooks Crystal’s arm over his head and grabs her tights, trying his best to lift her over top of the ladder and to the canvas, but the Female Phenom blocks the first and second attempts. Axel then uses his head, although not how it was supposed to be used, by headbutting Crystal once to incapacitate her, as his head is harder. Axel then grabs a hold of Crystal’s tights again, and to the joy of the crowd, takes her over… …AND DROPS HER WITH A BRAINBUSTER FROM TEN FEET IN THE AIR! “HO-LY SHIT!” “HO-LY SHIT!” “HO-LY SHIT!” COLE … CABOOSE I’ll say it. Oh my god. COLE There’s no way this match can go on. Both challenger and champion are down, there’s no way… The massive sold-out Washington crowd continues the chants, shocked at what they have just witnessed. On the canvas are the two participants of this match, Crystal, visibly injured and shaken after having her head driven into the mat from ten feet in the air, and Axel, the champion, looking anything but, clutching at his back and the back of his head, as he couldn’t protect his landing on that last move. The OAOAST Championship still hanging twenty feet above their heads, swaying from side to side, with the two fifteen foot ladders side by side next to the fallen warriors. The crowd wonder how the match can continue after such a brutal maneuver, but Axel shows some signs of life first, rolling onto his stomach, and slowly bringing himself to his knees. The champion gets to one foot, still holding his back, and obviously exhausted. He slowly or methodically as JR might say, makes his way to the ladder, grabbing the third rung, and using it to pull himself to his feet. Axel then starts his ascent, stepping on the first, then the second rung, with Crystal still having a lot of trouble moving. Axel, back still bothering him, gets to the third rung, with Crystal now at her knees. COLE Now it’s a race for Axel, he needs to pick up the pace and get his hands on that OAOAST Championship belt! Crystal is almost up! I don’t know how, but by god she is! Axel gets to the fourth rung and Crystal in finally up to her feet. The champion attempts to climb to the fifth, but his left foot is soon stopped by the challenger as she grabs the foot, preventing it from going any further. Axel tries his best to kick Crystal away, and does so, sending her back into the ropes. Crystal flies off of the ropes though, skipping up the ladder, grabbing Axel around the waist… …GERMAN SUPLEX OFF OF THE LADDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COLE WHAT~? NO! CABOOSE WHAT A MOVE! AXEL IS DEAD! COLE HOW DID SHE DO THAT? The “HO-LY SHIT!” chants are still there, not as big as before, but still a fair size. Again, both competitors are down, as you would be after a move like that. Crystal is a little better of than Axel right now though, as she didn’t land from a great height like the champion did. Detlef Schrempf checks again to see if Axel is ok, even though it is clear that he is not, after being German Suplexed off of a ladder like that. Crystal uses the ropes to get to her feet, and when she does so, the Female Phenom immediately walks to her opponent and grabs the champion’s hair, pulling Axel to his feet also. With Axel basically out on his feet, Crystal connects with a hard forearm, all the while taunting the OAOAST Champion, who probably doesn’t even realise it. CRYSTAL YOU THINK YOU’RE DONE WITH ME? WELL AFTER I BEAT YOU AND TAKE YOUR TITLE, YOU’LL NEVER GET ANOTHER SHOT! YOU HEAR ME? NEVER! I’M CLIMBING THAT LADDER, AND I’M TAKING YOUR TITLE YOU SON OF A BI-OWW! Axel obvious has been listening, and has heard enough, as he comes back with a right hand to the face of Crystal, sending the Female Phenom back to the ropes. Crystal comes back the best way she knows how though, with a field goal between the legs of the champion, sending Axel down to the mat instantaneously! CABOOSE And that right there is how you beat a man. COLE She’s got no shame! Crystal’s going to win this off of a low blow, and the referee can’t do a damn thing, this is no disqualifications! CABOOSE Hey, win at any cost Michael Cole; this is the OAOAST Championship, the most prestigious title in our business. Axel rolls around on the mat holding his champion crotch, while Crystal goes to the ladder and begins to climb. The Female Phenom gets to the first three rungs easily, not showing much of the effects of the Brainbuster she sustained only moments ago. But Axel is soon up and holding Crystal’s foot, which clearly pisses off the Female Phenom, who kicks the champion in the head so that he falls backward. Crystal then jumps off of the ladder and straight away lunges at Axel, connecting with a series of right hands, and screaming “GIVE UP NOW ASSHOLE!” which earns a chorus of boos from the Washington crowd. Crystal decides that she had better not try and climb the ladder again just yet, because Axel seems to always foil her plan. So, the challenger rolls to the outside and shoos the timekeeper out of the way, grabbing his steel chair and folding it up, before re-entering the ring. The Female Phenom measures the champion, waiting for Axel to get to his feet. COLE Axel, you might want to stay down for just a little while longer, I don’t think you’ll like what’s in store. CABOOSE Somehow, I agree with you. Crystal continues to measure the champion, begging Axel to get up, which he finally does, still clutching his back, and the back of his head. Crystal raises the chair above her head, charges, and KNOCKS THE SHIT out of Axel, swinging the chair and smashing the champion right in the forehead with the object…. …but he doesn’t go down?? COLE Wow. Just wow. Axel stays standing to the dismay of Crystal, but he isn’t standing for long, as Crystal quite possibly knocks the caps off of his teeth with a bone-rattling chair shot right to the face! COLE Oh my! Crystal just knock the champion down with a vile, VILE chair shot! She could win it, but she wants to do more damage! Axel gets up quicker than expected, although he appears to be on Dream Street, as Crystal readies for another vicious shot to the unprotected and now bleeding head of Axel! The Female Phenom does so, swinging the chair again… …AXEL HITS AN ENZIGUIRI THROUGH THE CHAIR! “YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!” CABOOSE OH MY! COLE Axel just hit that standing Enziguri, with that chair smacking into the side of Crystal’s head! Both challenger and champion are down again! Axel is now bloody and battered, but by god he isn’t beaten yet! The crowd pops for the impact move, but both Axel and Crystal are down on the amt once again. Crystal’s nose has dried up completely, so she isn’t bleeding anymore, but now red plasma is gushing from the forehead of the champion. The crowd soon gets behind Axel, after seeing the image of his bloody face on the AngleTron. “AX-EL!” “AX-EL!” “AX-EL!” COLE These fans are solidly getting behind the champion. Washington loves Axel! CABOOSE No no no! You’re missing the point! All of these people are politicians, therefore they tell lies, so they are actually getting behind Crystal! COLE Your logic matches Coach’s intellect. COACH ZING~! Axel uses the ropes to get to his feet, while Crystal does the same. The champion is still obviously not on this planet, feeling the effects of the German Suplex off of the ladder. He tries to shake the cobwebs out, and Crystal obviously tries to do the same after the Enziguri into the steel chair. Both now at their feet, challenger and champion catch each other’s glare, and the crowd builds in anticipation for another exchange between the two. Axel and Crystal both lunge forward at each other, Axel landing a right hand first, but Crystal coming straight back. Axel, Crystal, Axel, Crystal, Axel, Crystal, Axel with a shot and then another quick one to counter the see-saw of right hands, Crystal with a thumb to the eye, Crystal with a few right hands, Axel blocks and comes back with one, and then connects with an uppercut, that although not as stiff as usual due to the exhaustion, still sends Crystal backward. Axel follows up the uppercut with perhaps his second lariat of the match, but Crystal ducks the move, Axel turns around, and is the recipient of another barrage of right hands from Crystal. Irish Whip by the Female Phenom, Axel comes off of the ropes… LARIATOOOOOO!!! COLE The second Lariat of the match by Axel, and Crystal is down! Axel goes down to one knee for a second to try and regain his bearings, and wipe the blood from his eyes, as his face is now a crimson mask. The champion then decides to go for the win, making his way up the ladder, albeit slowly. Crystal isn’t far behind, as she grabs Axel’s foot and lands a shot to the back, slowing the champion down. Axel turns around on the ladder to face her and try and kick the challenger away, but she won’t go. Crystal climbs up the ladder and hits a right hand on Axel, sending him backwards, and bending him over the ladder! Crystal gets to the fourth rung and grabs Axel’s legs, hooking them in her arms, and hooking her feet in Axel’s armpits! COLE MODIFIED CRYSTALLING ON THE LADDER! LOOK AT THE ANGLE AT WHICH AXEL’S BACK IS BENT! Axel shouts in pain as a result of the battering his back is sustaining, but not for long though, as Crystal can’t keep a hold of Axel for a great length of time. Axel does a back flip off of the ladder and lands on his feet, but obviously feeling the pain, drops down to one knee, clutching at his back, and leaving Crystal on the ladder! CABOOSE Crystal’s on the ladder! Reach up and grab the belt girl! DO IT! BECOME THE CHAMPION! COLE Crystal is inches away! But HERE COMES AXEL! The Female Phenom tries desperately to reach the OAOAST Championship belt, but she can’t do it, she has to climb another rung. Crystal does so, but Axel is soon on the second ladder next to her, grabbing her tights and keeping her from going any further. COLE This match is so competitive, we have witnessed one hell of a ladder match, and it’s not over folks! Axel has Crystal! Axel climbs further up the other ladder, right next to where Crystal is. The OAOAST Championship swinging in the air, both challenger and champion begin a race to the title. Both try their darndest to shove the other off of their ladder, but it’s to no avail, as both get to a point where either could conceivably grab a hold of the championship belt! COLE This is down to the wire! Who can get their hand on the belt and pull it down? It could be either Axel or Crystal! Too close to call! Axel with an elbow to Crystal, Crystal returns the favor. Back and forth the elbows go, but neither wrestler is budging. The Female Phenom and the Slightly Lighter than Dark One continue to tussle atop the fifteen foot ladder, with Crystal attempting a right hand, but Axel catches the Female Phenom, and the two lose balance, and drop… …SPINEBUSTAHHHHHHHHH~!~! OFF OF THE LADDER! “YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHH!” COLE Axel just drove Crystal into the canvas with a powerful Spinebuster from fifteen feet up! CABOOSE Look at where Crystal took that punishment, not on her head, not on her neck, but flat on her back! Axel shakes the cobwebs out and starts to climb the ladder straight away, causing the fans to cheer even louder, as Crystal is lying motionless on the canvas. COLE AXEL IS GOING FOR THE TITLE! AXEL HAS GOT IT! AXEL IS GOING TO- Wait a minute! CABOOSE Well Michael, he told Crystal to bring someone, and bring someone she did! COLE It’s Gunner Sharps! Yes, Gunner is trudging down the ramp, with Axel firmly in his sights. Axel is unaware of this, as he is just trying to get up the ladder. Gunner slides into the ring, and puts his head under Axel, lifting him off of the ladder in a Electric Chair… before dropping him down onto the steel chair! COLE Dammit! Damn Gunner Sharps! Dammit! CABOOSE Is that the only cuss you have? Gunner, proud of his work, then crouches in the corner, ready to deliver his devastating spear to the champion! COLE Gunner already lost once tonight, dammit, he shouldn’t be out here! He has no part in this! Gunner sets up for the devastating finisher, and waits for the champion to get to his feet, the crowd showering the seven foot monster with boos. Suddenly though, a cheer goes up amongst the crowd. CABOOSE NO! COLE Here comes the cavalry! HOFF emerges from the back, causing Gunner’s attention to be diverted. The monster goes to the outside to meet the man who pinned him earlier, and the two begin to brawl all the way up the ramp! Gunner gets the advantage on Hoff with a knee to the midsection, and an Irish Whip which sends Hoff into the school bus at the top of the set! Gunner runs back, charges forward and tries a Spear through the bus… BUT HOFF MOVES AND GUNNER SPEARS THE GLASS BUS DOOR! COLE WOW! GUNNER JUST SPEARED THE GLASS DOOR! CABOOSE Trust that idiot to come out here and ruin everyone’s plans! Hoff looks at the ring, where Axel and Crystal are both just starting to regain their bearings, and decides that his work is done, heading backstage. Meanwhile, Axel and Crystal are both at their feet once again, with Crystal making her way up the ladder first, and Axel not far behind! Crystal is winning though, and the crowd are in a frenzy, begging Axel to get to the title before the Female Phenom! COLE Crystal’s got too much of a head start! She’s almost at the belt! Indeed she is, as Crystal reaches up, and just clips the belt with her fingers, not being able to get a good hold of the title! CABOOSE SHE’S GOT IT COLE! ONE MORE RUNG! COLE One more rung and Crystal is the OAOAST Champion! Crystal climbs up to the very top of the ladder, and reaches up, grabbing the title belt… …AXEL PULLS HER AWAY! CABOOSE SHE TOUCHED IT! Crystal is pulled back a rung by Axel, who is not far behind her. The Female Phenom reaches up again, as the fans go insane, willing Axel on to get Crystal away from the title. Crystal reaches up… …SHE GRABS IT… …NO! Axel grabs Crystal and puts her on his back… COLE NO! NODON’T! NO! …AXEL SLAM OFF OF THE LADDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! “YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHH!” COLE OH MY GOD! “HO-LY SHIT!” “HO-LY SHIT!” “HO-LY SHIT!” CABOOSE She’s dead. That was brutal… I-I-I can’t even comprehend… While Crystal lay motionless below him, Axel somehow manages the strength to get up, and stumble over to the ladder. Using all the strength he has left, Axel begins his ascent up the metal structure, going rung by rung, step by step, the fans cheering him on every step of the way. With his challenger not even moving, the bloody Axel finally makes his way to the top of the ladder… …reaching out… …and… …GRABBING THE TITLE BELT! “YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!” *DING DING DING* COLE HE WON IT! AXEL WON IT! AXEL IS STILL THE OAOAST WORLD CHAMPION! As “Eat You Alive” begins to play once again, Axel jumps down from the ladder and falls into a heap on the canvas, blood gushing from his forehead, and in etched on him face. But, he still has the championship belt in his possession. CABOOSE I don’t know how, but Axel did it. He beat Crystal, and he retained the One and Only AngleSault Thread Championship. Simply amazing match! BUFFER Here is your winner, and STILL OAOAST HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WOOOOOOOOOOOORLLLLLLD… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAXEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLL! Axel, with the help of referee Detlef Schrempf, get to his feet, while Crystal still lies on the canvas, EMT’s attending to her after the Axel Slam off of the ladder. COLE Both these superstars put in a phenomenal effort tonight, what a way to end School’s Out! These two gave everything they had to become the OAOAST Champion! Let’s not take anything away from Crystal, because she took it to Axel like she never has before Caboose, she gave the champion everything she had! CABOOSE Your damn right she did, and on a different night, she could have won this match. She put in an incredible amount of effort. But tonight, Axel was the better wrestler; I have no trouble admitting that. Axel bled, he sweat, and he paid the price to stay the OAOAST Champion. COLE That’s three events in a row that we close with this image Caboose, Axel holding the championship. He is a real champion. CABOOSE Definitely. Axel climbs to the second turnbuckle and strikes the crucifix pose, title belt in hand, blood now drying on face. He looks exhausted, but triumphant. Pyrotechnics suddenly explode from the entrance way, signifying the end of a great Pay Per View event, and the end of a great rivalry. Axel rolls out of the ring and walks up the ramp where he is met by his good friend Hoff, who shakes his hand, and then raises it to the delight of the crowd. COLE Well Ladies And Gentlemen, what a night, and look at the celebration now for Axel and Hoff! For Jonathon Coachman and Caboose, I’m Michael Cole; this has been School’s Out! See you on HeldDown Thursday! We close on one simple image. Axel and Hoff, arms raised in triumph, and Axel still the OAOAST World Heavyweight Champion.

COLE It's been a phenomenal night for the OAOAST so far here at School's Out, and coming up next is the highly anticipated grudge match between three of our top tag teams. CABOOSE Three teams, two of them tag division mainstays, and one team formed by a bond that goes back several years. This match isn't about titles, or even title shots. It's about pride, bragging rights, and most of all, the heart and soul of this company. COLE Something you know much about, 'Boose. One month ago, the Global Party Exchange, arguably the most popular tag team to grace OAOAST rings, returned to action after brief hiatus in shocking fashion, laying out old rivals Black T, as well as the duo of Zack Malibu and Some Guy. We were left with a cliffhanger that week on HeldDOWN~!, but over the past few weeks, it's become clear what the GPX's motives are. CABOOSE Apparently it all started around Anglemania, when myself, Zack and Some Guy found ourselves facing off with The Original Elite. The GPX, despite having held the OAOAST World Tag Team Titles and gaining tremendous worldwide notoriety, feel as though the Originals are clogging the cards, be it live events, HeldDOWN~! broadcasts, or PPV's, and are keeping the upstarts such as themselves out of the company spotlight. COLE But why? I mean, Axel's our World Champion, people like he, Hoff and Crystal have been battling in main events for months, and not one of them were here during the infancy of the company like Black T or Zack Malibu. CABOOSE It's jealousy, but it may work in the GPX's favor. After losing their tag titles and falling from grace, you get a reality check, and it all depends on where you go from there. This is the route they've chosen, and I may be slightly biased, but it may not be the best road for them. COLE Also keep in mind that just about two weeks ago, Drek Stone made a shocking return during the Zack Malibu/Johnny Jax encounter, attacking The Franchise, the face of our company, and laying him to waste. CABOOSE Another man who vanished after Anglemania, and who claimed he would never again set foot in an OAOAST ring. Whether it's an odd coincidence or some type of grand scheme by the three of them, Drek Stone and the GPX appear to share similar beliefs these days, and that is a powerful tandem if there ever was one. COLE Coach, do you have anything you'd like to add? COACH SHOOSH! I'm playin' my PSP, dog! It's the bottom of the 8th and I'm only down by one run. Friggin' Red Sox...why are they so good in this game? COLE Oh brother. The cameras focus on the ring, and close in tightly on Michael Buffer, as the timekeeper sounds the bell to draw the crowd's attention. BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest, scheduled for one fall, is the THREE WAY DANCE! A roar comes up from the crowd, but the reaction dwindles into more of a mixed sentiment, as "Quiet" comes over the loudspeakers. Tony Brannigan and Dan Black then emerge from the back, walking across the School's Out stage and glaring out to the crowd, some of whom are actually applauding their arrival. COLE They're not beloved by many, but it says something about how greatly the change of attitude from the GPX has affected the fans. CABOOSE These are two guys that could care less either way, but the crowd knows that they'll resort to whatever means they need to to take out Jax and Static. Tony and Dan walk down the rampway slowly and enter the ring, with Dan climbing up on the middle turnbuckle and taunting the crowd, while Tony does so from center ring. The most famed OAOAST tag team in history then regroup in a neutral corner, discussing whatever it is they need to discuss and gearing up for the imminent matchup. "In a world full of posers, phonies, and wannabees, There finally emerges a group which has come to set the record straight. So, all you suckers better recognize, ya heard? Can you say uhhh na na na na..." The crowd doesn't say "Uh", or "na na na na", but rather loudly boo's the sound of O-Town's catchy pop tune, as it signals the arrival of the once popular, now most hated duo in the entire company. Johnny Jax and Scotty Static come out, and gone is the bouncing and dancing, as it has been replaced by the cocky swagger of the two youngsters. After getting halfway down the ramp, the duo stops and turns around, eyeing the entranceway. CABOOSE I can't say I'd be in a rush to get to the ring if I were them, but what are they wai... Caboose's inquiry is cut off by the loud booing of the fans, as DREK STONE walks down the rampway. The GPX nod their heads in approval and turn to face Black T, laughing gleefully about this turn of events. COLE We spoke about this earlier, and this should cement the fact that Drek Stone and the GPX are in cahoots! COACH CAHOOTS? Dude, Mikey, c'mon man. The last time someone used that word was in the Old West. You sound like Yosemite Sam. Stopping at the top of the ramp, Stone hops down off the ramp to ringside, and paces the squared circle, smirking and raising his arms to bask in the jeers of the crowd. He makes his way over to Sofa Central, and urges Coachman to move over. CABOOSE What? I don't want him any closer to me than he needs to be! DREK Michael Cole, Caboose, Coach, you boys are gonna have a little assistance for this match. COLE Wonderful. The GPX are still on the ramp, stalling as much as they can while Black T waits on them. Finally, as Static and Jax are conversing, Tony and Dan rush over and grab them each by the hair, pulling them over the ropes and into the ring! DREK Now come on, the bell hasn't even sounded! We're still missing a team! The arena lights come up, and referee Brian Hebner scrambles to get some order, but it's of no use, as Dan Black is hammering on Scotty Static and Tony is having his way with Johnny Jax across the ring in the opposite corner. After working over the two youngster, Black and Tony pull them up to their feet, then take them by the arms and launch them out of the corners with Irish whips, sending Static and Jackson colliding into each other! The two party boys then stagger about, each one turning around to face his rival...and Black and Tony each blast them with lariats to put them down on the canvas! Before any further damage can be done, the GPX quickly roll out of the ring, and referee Hebner does his best to keep Black T from exiting. DREK Good move by Johnny and Scotty, getting out of there and away from the illegal tactics of Black T. I... Since someone's speech had to be interrupted, for the sake of continuity we'll have it be Drek, as the former World Champion is cut off in mid-sentence by the theme song of another former World Champion! "Getting Away With Murder" hits, and Zack Malibu and Some Guy dart down the ramp and leap down to the floor below, each one rounding the ring so that GPX are surrounded! Sensing danger, Scotty and Johnny roll back into the ring, but now that all three teams are at ringside Hebner calls for the bell, and the GPX find themselves once again in the ring with Black T! COLE Here we go! The GPX are cornered, as they turn one way and run into Black T, then turn back around to see Malibu and Some Guy up on the apron. Quickly, they try to escape by running past Black T and out of the ring, but Dan and Tony each catch them and snap them to the canvas by their heads, leaving them prone on the canvas for Some Guy and Zack to springboard in and land atop them with springboard splashes! In a strange twist, Malibu pulls Static up and with the aid of Brannigan, presses him up in the air, as Some Guy and Dan Black do the same, and each member of GPX is then disposed of, dumped over the ropes and down to the floor! The men in the ring are all smiling with satisfaction at the sight of GPX wincing in pain on the floor - until they turn to each other. Dan immediately stings Some Guy with a forearm, and then, grabbing him by the scruff of the neck, runs and throws him out over the top rope on the other side of the ring! Meanwhile, Tony and Zack exchange punches, until Dan races over to assist his partner, knocking Zack to the mat from behind. Black T stomp a mudhole in Malibu as the crowd gives them hell for it. Some Guy picks himself straight back up and climbs back into the ring, dragging Dan away from Zack and then nailing Tony with a dropkick that sends him staggering back and out over the top to the floor! SG and Zack pick Black up and whip him to the ropes, knocking Dan down with a double shoulderblock. SG picks Dan up into a chinklock, as Zack runs the ropes - only to get tripped onto his face by Tony on the floor! Brannigan drags Zack out of the ring and throws him hard into the guard rail. COACH Ouch! Bone shattering impact as Tony flings Malibu into the metal! COLE Non-stop action in the opening stages of this match! Some Guy drops Black and runs to the edge of the ring. He waits for Brannigan to turn, and then grabs the top rope, using it to spring himself out and down onto Tony! Both men hit the floor hard. Dan is about to slide out to aid Brannigan, when he notices GPX are standing and laughing on the other side of the ring, pointing and shaking their heads in amusement. Dan turns back into the middle of the ring and beckons GPX on, actually drawing a highly unusual cheer from the crowd for his bold action. COLE Black's out numbered, but he doesn't care right now! He wants at GPX badly. DREK He's going to get his ass kicked! Black T think they're so smart, but they need to realise their place. GPX accept the challenge, sliding into the ring and charging at Dan, who ducks their double lariat and nails Scotty with a back kick to the gut, and then floors Johnny with a hard clothesline. Dan grabs the doubled up Static and sets for a wrist clutch exploder suplex, but Johnny Jax is back up and slams him in the back. Jax pins Dan's arms back and encourages Scotty to swing at him. Static looses a hard blow, but Dan breaks out, and Scotty brings his fist up just before Johnny's nose. GPX breath a sigh of relief - but their faces turn to shock as Black grabs Johnny in a waistlock, and Zack Malibu, out of nowhere,grabs Scotty in the same. Double German suplexes, leaving GPX laid out on the canvas! Dan and Zack get to their feet and meet in the middle of the ring. COLE Two bitter enemies working together! Could this be a new understanding between these two Originals? CABOOSE Well, if they can get on the same page for this match, GPX are in a whole heap of trouble. DREK GPX are in NO trouble at all. They're the future of tag team wrestling. Dan and Zack stare at each other. Zack gives Dan a very small nod, and then turns to grab Scotty Static. Black hesitates for a moment - and attacks Zack from behind! Boos from the crowd as Dan fires a forearm into the back of Zack's neck and grabs him in a full nelson, looking for a Dragon suplex. Some Guy re-enters the fray and pulls Dan away, kicks him in the gut and gives him a DDT in the middle of the ring! Our referee for this contest, Nick Patrick, has stayed firmly out of the way of the opening, wild action, but now intervenes, pushing Zack out of the ring. Scotty Static slides out to the floor to leave 3 men only in the ring. Scotty and Tony regroup on the apron as Some Guy picks Black up and whips him into the neutral corner. Johnny Jax gets to his feet as SG chops Dan hard, and then mounts the 2nd turnbuckle for a punch-a-long with the crowd- ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! But suddenly Johnny Jax punches SG in the back, causing him to stop his assault. Jax climbs up the ropes till he's on the top turnbuckle and strikes SG in the head. Johnny applies a front facelock, draws SG up to the top too, and looks to be trying to superplex Some Guy out of the ring! COLE He can't be serious! That'll kill both of them! DREK GPX have no limits, Cole, not that these old traditional guys. SG fights back, and the two men exchange blows precariously! SG drops down to the 2nd rope. Dan Black shakes his head clear and looks up at the situation, then climbs up to the 2nd turnbuckle behind SG and grabs a waistlock! As he does so, Some Guy headbutts Jax hard, and grabs his own front facelock! COACH Oh lordy, what's going to happen here? This looks dangerous as hell! Black pulls at SG, and after a couple of attempts drags him off! SG in turn brings Jax over, and all 3 land on the mat, Jax in particular hitting with a crashing impact! COLE Dan Black just gave Some Guy a German suplex from the 2nd rope while Some Guy superplexed Johnny Jax! The crowd buzzes over the high impact move, as Dan Black is first to pick himself up. Jax clutches at his back and grimaces, while SG holds his neck. Dan brings Jax up and lashes him with a hard European uppercut. Black whips Johnny to the ropes near the Black T corner, and Tony Brannigan moves along the apron and raises a knee, so that Jax takes it in the small of his back and cries out in pain. Johnny staggers forward, and Dan kicks him in the gut and double underhooks his arms, before lifting him up, over and dropping Jax onto Black's outstretched knee. COLE Butterfly backbreaker by Black. CABOOSE Black T immediately targetting the back after Jax took that superplex. DREK Oh, you think that's some kind of smart psychology? If I was in there, I'd just drop Black T with the Stonecutter before they had a chance to even recognise me. CABOOSE I think anyone could recognise your big head coming. DREK Pff, you're as bad as them, stinking up Anglemania with your lousy return to the ring. CABOOSE Stone, you're a talented guy, no question, but if you don't show some respect you're going to get the same treatment I give Mikey every week. DREK What's that? *POW!* COLE *sniff* You could have just TOLD him. Dan makes the tag to Tony Brannigan, who comes in and immediately drops an elbow onto the back of Jax as he tries to crawl to the GPX corner. Some Guy is also back up, and helps Tony stomp Jax - until Black T once again turn on their fellow Originals, as Tony floors SG with a clothesline. While SG is down, Brannigan picks Johnny J up and displays his strength, hoisting Jax up into a gorilla press. Tony even manages a little of the Rick Rude snake hims in that position, before dropping Jax down face first onto the mat. Brannigan immediately jumps and lands all his 270lbs back first onto Johnny's spine. COLE A big Senton from Tony that has to have Jax in trouble. He needs to tag out here or GPX could be eliminated in quick time. Brannigan drags Johnny up and whips him to the ropes, looking for the Out of Body Experience, but SG attacks him from the side, tackling him to the mat and throwing hard punches. Tony covers up, but the attack allows Johnny to roll forward and tag Scotty Static. DREK You see? These idiots actually got lucky enough to have Johnny in trouble, and they blow it fighting each other. COLE You know, this match isn't all about GPX. They're not even the favourites, in my opinion. *POW!* DREK Hey, that's pretty good. Some Guy brings Tony up and Scotty enters. SG whips Brannigan across the ring, right into a dropkick from Static! Scotty runs past the fallen Tony and swings at SG, who ducks and fires a trio of quick kicks into the midsection of SS. SG grabs SS and tries for a suplex, but Static escapes, flipping out and landing behind Some Guy and then, grabbing him around the head, runs towards the ropes, attempting a Sliced Bread #2 type move. Static jumps and propels himself back off the ropes, but SG pushes him off and away, and right into the arms of Tony Brannigan, who flings Static over with a big belly to back suplex! Some Guy goes after Tony again, but Brannigan fires back and whips SG to the Black T corner. Dan Black starts to choke SG, as Tony distracts Nick Patrick by covering Static - ONE! TWO! Scotty kicks out, and Tony brings him up, as Zack Malibu yells at Patrick. Our official turns and sees Dan's illegal choke, and runs over to make him break. This allows Tony to poke Scotty in the eye and then gives him a huge hiptoss, right over the top rope to the floor! COACH Brannigan showing his power again, and once again a GPX man is thrown out to the floor. DREK Because the other guys fear being in the ring with them. Brannigan turns - as Some Guy shoots a Some Kick at his head! Tony manages to catch the boot, but SG responds instantly with an leaping enziguiri kick to the back of the big mans head! Tony's eyes go wide and he staggers forward a step before crashing to the mat. Some Guy leaps over to his corner and tags Zack in to a big cheer from the crowd. Malibu comes in and brings Brannigan up, keeping him off balance with a couple of forearms, and then whips him to the neutral corner. Zack charges in and hits Tony with a jumping knee to the chest. Malibu runs around for another attempt, but this time Tony runs out of the corner, throwing a big boot at Zack, who ducks under it. Zack jumps up and grabs Tony with a sleeper from behind, but Tony once more shows his strength, turning and driving back towards the empty corner and crushing Zack into the turnbuckles. As Dan Black applauds, Brannigan uses a snapmare to bring Zack out of the corner into a sitting position, and then locks on a camel clutch! Malibu struggles in the dangerous hold, as Scotty Static re-enters...and then just watches, laughing at Zack's grimace. Some Guy tries to run in to break up the submission, but Nick Patrick blocks his path. Static chants abuse and jeers at Zack - until at last even Tony has had enough, and he drops Zack to run at Scotty! COLE GPX really getting under the skin of everyone here. Brannigan had to be enjoying putting the pressure on Zack, but right now he hates Static that little bit more! CABOOSE The other two teams may hate each other, but I think, deep down, they have a little bit of respect, and that's more than they have for GPX. Static retreats until Tony is almost on him, and then catches him with a drop toe hold that trips Tony over and onto the 2nd rope next to the GPX corner. As Scotty goes over to Zack, Johnny Jax climbs to the top turnbuckle and jumps down with a legdrop onto back of Tony's head as he's draped over the rope! Jax falls to the floor, and then drags Brannigan out with him, trying to whip him into the ring steps, but Dan Black runs round and pushes Jackson away, before helping Tony back to their teams corner. Scotty slugs away at Zack, and whips him to the ropes. Static leapfrogs over Malibu as he comes back, and then drops down to the mat, lifting his legs to try and flips Zack over, but Malibu just grabs them and sits down into a cover! ONE! TWO! Scotty kicks out and both men scramble up. Zack throws a punch, but Static ducks and drags Malibu into a backslide- ONE! TWO! Zack kicks out and as Scotty rises to one knee runs in for a Zack Attack (Shining Wizard), but Static ducks the knee and quickly rolls away. Malibu runs after him, and Scotty takes him over with an arm drag. Tony gets back in the ring, holding his head from that legdrop, and tags Dan Black back in. Dan watches for a moment as Scotty runs at Zack, grabbing his head and trying to spin him round with a DDT. Malibu blocks it, and counters into a Northern Lites suplex - ONE! TWO! Scotty throws a shoulder up, and he and Zack start to climb up. Dan grabs them, and bangs their heads together. Scotty falls to one knee, while Black applies a front facelock to Malibu and hits with a brainbuster, scooting into a cover - ONE! TWO! T- Kickout. Dan is rising when Static suddenly jumps onto his shoulders! Before Black can react, Scotty snaps himself over and drives Dan's head into the canvas with a reverse 'rana! ONE! TWO! THREE - No! DREK That was three. What kind of a referee have we got in there? COACH You're not as good a color commentator as 'boose. I don't like you. DREK Hey - wait for the buy rates for this show. Just me being back here is going to draw. Dan rolls away as Zack takes his turn to go after Scotty, chopping him hard and and then whipping him to the ropes. Zack tries a back body drop, but Static rolls over him and lands behind. Scotty grabs Malibu and drives him to the mat with a hard Russian legsweep. Scotty then tags in Johnny Jax. Static holds Zack while Jax fires punches into his gut. As Nick Patrick counts Scotty out, Jax grabs Malibu by the head and neck and hits a slow, Rude Awakening style neckbreaker. Jax smirks at Tony Brannigan, who goes to enter the ring but then checks himself. Johnny then locks a Heart of Ice crossface on Malibu! COLE Oh! GPX mocking Black T, stealing their signature moves! CABOOSE I have to admit, they're doing them well too. Dan is back up, and looks down with disgust at Jax. He breaks the hold with a boot to the side of the young upstarts head and then lifts him into a front facelock. Jax blocks the suplex, so Dan throws knees into his gut and then whips him to the ropes. Jackson returns - right into a tilta whirl back breaker! Johnny howls in pain as his spine is impacted yet again, and howls even louder as Black rolls him onto his front and locks on a single leg Boston Crab! Zack is up, and grabs Jackson's other leg! Johnny yells in pain as the two foes tear at his legs! Black looks at Zack and gives him a small nod, as Zack gave him earlier. Zack responds by dropping his leg and locking his California Dreams (Dragon sleeper) on Dan Black! Black manages to keep the half Crab on, as Nick Patrick tells Tony and Scotty to stay out of the ring. After another moment, Dan is weakened and drops the Crab. Johnny J, his back in seriously bad shape now, tries to crawl to his corner. COLE Another tough decision for Zack - stop the tag, or keep the hold on Dan? COACH I don't think Black is going to tap... Malibu decides the same, dropping a choking Dan and going after Jax. Dan rolls over and tags in Brannigan. Zack grips Johnny's leg and drags him back into the centre of the ring, and is about to lock on another Crab of his own when Brannigan chops him hard. Malibu drops Johnny and fires back. Tony slugs Zack down with clubbing forearms, and sets him for an Attitude Adjustment piledriver, but Malibu struggles against it and manages to backdrop Brannigan into the middle of the squared circle. Zack goes after Jackson, who's climbing slowly to his feet, but the GPX member rakes his eyes, spits in his face and delivers a kick to the gut - BlackOut! (stunner). Johnny rolls over and tags Static, who rushes in to cover Malibu - ONE! TWO! THREE! No! Zack kicks out! COLE Another move stolen by GPX! Jackson didnt manage to put Zack away with it, but he has gotten himself out of the ring. Static grabs Zack up throws him out over the top rope to the floor! Static threw Zack too close to his partner, however, and as Zack's going over Some Guy tags himself in on his back! SG runs in and shoulder blocks Static to the mat. Brannigan sneaks up behind SG and clamps on a full nelson. Tony tries a full nelson slam, but SG slips out of his grasp and dropkicks Brannigan into the corner. SG is about to charge Tony when Scotty trips him up. Static runs the ropes and executes a Lionsault onto the back of Some Guy, then rolls him over for a cover. ONE! TWO! Brannigan jumps off the middle turnbuckle with a flying elbow! Static rolls aside, and Tony lands hard on Some Guy! Cover: ONE! TWO! TH- SG kicks out. Tony brings him up, but Scotty runs in and connects with a Yakuza Kick to the crouched Some Guy. Brannigan with a swing and a miss and Scotty with the same. Tony grabs Static onto his shoulder, and drills him with a vicious Dominator! Cover! ONE! TWO! THREEE- Scotty gets a foot on the ropes! Meanwhile, Zack picks himself up on the outside. Right next to the announce table. DREK Well, well. Thrown out of the ring, battered and beaten once more. Zack may as well slink off backstage. Zack picks himself up. In the fast paced match, he clearly hasn't realised Drek is at ringside. He glares at the former champ. Drek coughs. "What the hell is that doing out here?", yells Zack, pointing at Stone. Drek gets to his feet, dropping his microphone, and comes out to face Zack. The crowd buzzes as the two icons come nose to nose. Malibu is about to strike Drek, when he controls himself. COLE Zack knows he has a match to win, he can't let his partner down by being distracted by Drek. CABOOSE It might not be up to Zack... Malibu goes to re-enter the ring, where Brannigan has an abdominal stretch applied on Scotty Static. Tony is getting extra leverage from Dan Black on the apron, while Nick Patrick watches Drek. At last, Nick has to turn back to the action, and as he does so Drek pulls Zack off the apron and whips him hard into the ring steps. Stone grabs Zack up, but Malibu fires back, and the two men slug it out on the floor! Nick Patrick turns to yell at the two, allowing Johnny Jackson to run in and break up the abdominal stretch. GPX pick Tony up and just drive him into Dan Black, knocking him off the apron. The duo then throw Tony out after him, and turn to Some Guy. Johnny picks him up and delivers a hard powerbomb, before turning SG over into a Boston Crab. Scotty with the double underhook, and sit out driver! COLE The Chain Letter! Chain Letter on Some Guy! Drek throws Zack into the guard rail on the walk way as Scotty covers - ONE! TWO! THREE! *DING DING DING* BUFFER The team of Zack Malibu and Some Guy has been eliminated! Hearing this, Drek turns and runs up the walkway, disappearing past the giant bell towards the backstage area. Zack picks himself up and sprints after him. COLE Drek managed to keep Zack occupied long enough for GPX to pin Some Guy! It's down to that classic battle, GPX vs Black T, once again! CABOOSE Well, I'm glad Mr Stone has left. COLE You worried he was out-heeling you? Eh? Eh? *POW!* CABOOSE No, now I can do that all myself. GPX celebrate their pin, Jackson holding his back from the effort of delivering the powerbomb, as Some Guy drags himself out of the ring, clutching his head. Black T climb up to the apron and re-enter the ring, facing down their smaller but tenacious opponents. Brannigan and Static, the legal men, lock up, as Dan and Johnny are instructed out of the ring. Brannigan predictably overpowers Scotty, shoving him back into an empty corner. Patrick counts the break, and Tony backs off a step, watching Static cautiously. Scotty lashes out for a cheap shot, but Brannigan blocks his punch and lands a hard right of his own. Ignoring Nick Patrick's protest at the closed fist, Tony throws another one and then lifts Static up for a high angle body slam, but Scotty manages to clamp his legs around Tony's head, stretch out his arm and turn it into a submission hold! COLE Well, that's a hell of a counter from Scotty! CABOOSE Everyone's been saying they're like a new team - its stuff like that that will prove it. Tony staggers, but Dan quickly enters the ring and fires a hard kick into the side of Static. He drops off Tony, flipping down right into Black's clutches, who quickly flings him around with an Exploder suplex. Tony covers: ONE! TWO! THR- Static throws up a shoulder. Brannigan, shaking off the effects of the choke, brings Scotty S up. He tries for a suplex, but Scotty blocks it and then stomps on Brannigan's foot! The unorthodox move pays off, as Tony releases Scotty, who grabs his larger opponent, and with an effort lifts him half up for a suplex - but then drops him down with legs either side of the top rope! Brannigan's eyes bulge as the crowd draws in its breath. Nick Patrick remonstrates with Static, but the GPX member ignores him and climbs to the top turnbuckle in front of the white faced Brannigan. Scotty starts to walk, high wire style, along the top rope, till he reaches Tony. Then he jumps onto his shoulders and brings him back into the ring with a headscissors takeover! Brannigan hits the mat hard, and Scotty covers: ONE! TWO! THR- No, Tony throws up an arm. Static goes right back on the attack, bringing Brannigan to his feet and hammering him with forearms. Scotty whips Tony into a corner and, running in, nails him with a leaping lariat. Static grabs Brannigan around the head and jumps onto the 2nd rope, looking for a tornado DDT, but Tony fights back and flays Scotty with a hard chop to the chest. Tony goes to climb up the ropes, but Static bites his face! The crowd BOOS the heinous assault, and actually seem to be now behind the hated Black T. Tony drops off the ropes and staggers away, and Scotty jumps off and over him, grabbing his head on the way and driving it into the mat with a Blockbuster. Static with a boot scrape across Brannigan's eyes, and then climbs to the top rope once more. Scotty flies off with a frog splash, but Tony gets his knees up! COLE A tough landing for Static! GPX have been bringing out all their big moves in this match, but this one backfired! CABOOSE Tony has to take advantage. Remember, Johnny Jackson is hurt, so if Black T can pick Scotty apart too they're in with a big chance here. Brannigan rolls up and grabs Scotty, who's clutching his gut. Tony grabs Scotty and delivers the Rude Awakening neckbreaker into a cover: ONE! TWO! THREE - no, Johnny Jax comes in to break it up! Nick Patrick shoves Jackson out, while Tony quickly flings Static into the Black T corner, where he kicks his chest whilst Dan holds him in place. Black releases Scotty as Patrick turns, and Tony tags Dan, who climbs to the top rope. Brannigan with a full nelson slam on Static, driving him hard into the mat in the middle of the ring, and instantly Dan leaps off with a big diving headbutt, crashing down hard onto Scotty! Black clutches his head while Scotty convulses. Black takes a moment, but throws himself onto Static. ONE! TWO! THREE! No! Scotty kicks out! COACH Dan needed to hook the leg there. CABOOSE Still, an impressive display of resilience from Static, taking two big moves like th at. If GPX can win this, they will have deserved it. COLE You pulling for them now? CABOOSE I'm staying neutral. For once. Static rolls away from Dan, looking for the tag. Jackson extends his arm to him, but Black is rising, and cuts him off. Black stands behind Scotty and pins back both his arms and lifts him up and over, dropping him with a Tiger Suplex! Dan keeps the bridge - ONE! TWO! THREE! No! Johnny J dives in with an axehandle to Dan's midriff, breaking up the pin. Patrick gets Jax out, while Black brings Scotty up. European uppercut, and then a roundhouse swing, but Static ducks and leaps over Dan, pulling him over with a sunset flip! ONE! TWO! Dan kicks out and gets to one knee, but Scotty hits him with a shining enziguiri! Cover - ONE! TWO! THREE - no! Black kicks out! Static rolls away from him, trying to regroup after that burst of adrenaline. Dan tries to go after him, but Scotty makes it closer to his teams corner. Tony runs in to cut Static off, but with a leap he tags in Johnny Jackson! Jax springboards in with a dropkick to Brannigan. Black grabs Static, but Scotty nails him with a jawbreaker. Nick Patrick tries to restore order, but Jax ignores him and picks Tony up, going for his Beat Drop pumphandle piledriver. Scotty goes up top, as GPX look to be trying for a SPIKE Beat Drop! Before Static can jump off, Dan Black runs up the ropes and shoves him off the top to the floor! Jackson drives Tony's head into the mat with the Beat Drop! COLE DAA- CABOOSE Don't do that. Indie catchphrases are above y- oh, go ahead. COLE -AAANGEROOUS! Jackson covers Tony - uh uh, Patrick tells him, Dan Black is the legal man. And Dan Black is behind Jackson, looping Johnny's arms around his own neck and dropping back, snapping JJ back first into Dan's raised knees with a Lungblower! Black rolls through and hits another Lungblower, then drops Jackson and locks on a proper, old school, knee to the spine, snap you in half Liontamer! COACH Jackson has got to be in a huge amount of pain! Black T have targetted that back, and now Dan has him in the devilish Liontamer! Jax struggles in the hold but Black has a vice like grip. Scotty Static picks himself off the floor and tries to run in. Nick Patrick stops him, and the wrestler and referee struggle, as Static tries to push past him. Jackson, refusing to tap out, is fading in the hold. Dan drops the Liontamer and rolls Johnny up with a La Majistral cradle! ONE! TWO! THREE! But sadly for Black T, its just the crowd counting, not Nick Patrick. COLE Black has the pin! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! Dan lets up and goes after Static, who pushes Patrick aside and nails Black with a superkick! COACH Oh! Black didn't see that coming at all, that kick came right over Nick Patrick's shoulder! Scotty grabs Dan up, pulls him in - POP DROP?!?! ONE! TWO! THREE! *DING DING DING* BUFFER The winners of the match - Johnny Jackson and Scotty Static - GEEEEE PEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEX! Scotty picks Johnny off the canvas and GPX raise their arms to a chorus of boos. COLE Static pinning Dan Black with Zack Malibu's move! That's an insult to Black AND Malibu! CABOOSE But they've pulled it off, they've defeated 4 OAOAST legends - GPX just took a huge step towards their goals. COACH Well, they needed Drek Stone to take Zack out of the game - but what an alliance GPX and Stone could become. Tony Brannigan starts to move after the deadly Beat Drop, but GPX are able to exit the ring leaving both members of Black T down on the mat. They walk up to the top of the ramp and soak up some more boos, as the new GPX celebrate making a huge mark.

*ding.....ding.....ding* BUFFER The following contest is scheduled for one fall, with no time limit!! The lights go down...and it's "Black" that plays over the loudspeakers-- BOOM*BOOM*BOOM*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM And the fans go WILD as Hoff steps out from behind the curtain...in the old-school red tights, and an old "Thrillogy" T-shirt. COLE Oh my!! BUFFER Making his way down the aisle, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, weighing in at 275 pounds....HOFF!!! Hoff, smiling, pauses midway down the ramp to look out across the audience, nodding. The fans cheer like crazy, and Hoff points to the logo on his T-shirt. COLE Well, Hoff said he was gonna go old-school! COACH I guess so! CABOOSE This is disgusting. The Thrillogy is dead because he developed a conscience. I hate this man. Hoff slides into the ring and climbs the ropes, delivering his trademark pose to an ENORMOUS reaction! Hoss looks over the fans...and takes off his shirt, tossing it to the crowd. COLE That's a hell of a souvenir!! CUE: "Sick" by Dope BUFFER And his opponent! Weighing in at 375 pounds, from Detroit, Michigan, he is GUNNER SHAAAAARPS!!! Gunner throws his arms above his head drawing the ire of the fans. Gunner looks at Hoff, slashing his throat, and the fan favorite simply invites him into the ring. COLE Here we go! COLE I don't know, I mean, we know that Hoff is an extremely capable technician, we know that both these guys have surprising agility for their size, but at the end of the day, both men's games rely on raw power! Hoff and Gunner suddenly dash together, locking up collar-and-elbow, both trying to push the other back. However, neither man budges, and they let go stepping back and circling again. COLE There you see, both Hoff and Gunner trying to one-up each other with raw strength. COACH Well, if Caboose were here, I know he'd give the advantage to Hoff, and quite frankly I have to agree! I mean, Hoff is quicker, more technically sound, maybe even a bit smarter in there. COLE I don't know about that, Gunner's a very smart guy, although you might not think it. Technically, Hoff has the edge. He is quicker. He might have more stamina as well, we'll have to see. But Gunner, I feel, clearly has the edge in strength. Taking nothing away from Hoff, but Gunner is the stronger man. He's bigger as well, taller, heavier, the reach may come into play as well. Tie up again... Again Gunner and Hoff come together in a tie-up, and this time, Gunner is able to back Hoff slowly into a corner, and starts choking Hoff with his forearm. The referee calls for the break, but Gunner doesn't let go, prompting a five count. Gunner still doesn't release, and so the official squeezes in between the two men's arms and prys them apart. Gunner backs slowly off...but quickly surprises Hoff with an eye gouge! COLE Aw come on, thumb to the eye, and Gunner is cheating already! Hoff grabs his eye, and moves in, grabbing Hoff and running his face along the ring rope before tossing him down to the mat. Hoff holds his face as he rolls away, and Gunner taunts the crowd. Hoff rears back, but Gunner surprises him with a blow to the stomach, stopping Hoff in his tracks. Hoff reels as Gunner gets to his full height, and begins unloading on Hoff with big right hands! The crowd jeers as Gunner hits blow after blow, sending Hoff reeling into the ropes! Gunner grabs him and whips him across the ring! Hoff bounces off the opposite side, and Gunner catches him with a big boot! Hoff falls down hard, then rolls onto his knees. Hoff pulls himself up, but Gunner grabs him by the hair as he rises, pulling him to a corner and slamming him face-first into a turnbuckle! Gunner pulls him back, then slams him again, and a third time, then lets him go reeling out of the corner! Hoff stumbles out, dazed and holding his jaw, before turning around...only to be floored with a clothesline! The fans pop as Gunner makes a cover! ONE! TWO! THRNO! Kickout! COLE Whoa, Gunner almost had it there! He is taking it to Hoff! COACH Well, I don't know if he had Hoff beat but he is definitely taking it to him! Gunner gets to his feet and pulls Hoff up, scooping him and slamming him HARD on the canvas. Hoff lies prone as Gunner runs off the ropes, coming off with a standing splash...but Hoff rolls out of the way! COLE You don't want 375 pounds coming down on you! COACH No siree. Gunner grabs his midsection but hits his feet as Hoff brings himself up. Gunner walks over to Hoff and spins him around, but Hoff is ready and catches Gunner on the temple with a big right hand! The fans finally have a reason to cheer as Hoff drives a knee into Gunner's midsection, then snaps him over with a swinging neckbreaker! Hoff climbs to his feet, stomping at Gunner before heading to a corner and catching his breath. COLE Hoff buying himself a little time... Gunner rolls to his stomach and finds his feet as Hoff comes to the center of the ring, grabbing Gunner's arm and twisting it into an armwringer. Gunner tries to power out, but Hoff twists the arm again, doubling Gunner over in pain. Hoff seizes the opportunity and drives an elbow into Gunner's shoulder. COLE Hoff working over the trapezius, and he knows what it's like to have your arm taken apart. Hoff wrings the arm again, prompting Gunner to cringe slightly. Hoff transitions the armwringer into a hammerlock, pulling hard on Gunner's arm, torquing it out of joint. Gunner grits his teeth, then fires a back elbow that catches Hoff off-guard. Gunner fires again, and Hoff lets go of the hold, grabbing at his face. Gunner spins around and drills Hoff with a right hand that sends the champ down! Gunner follows up with another cover, but again can only get two! Gunner gets to his feet, meeting Hoff with a kick to the stomach and grabbing him in a standing headscissors!! Gunner slashes his arms!! COLE Gunner could be looking to end it here and now! Looking for All Guns Blazing and-- oh, wait!! Hoff quickly drops to his knees and crawls backwards before rolling out of the ring, looking up at Gunner and shaking his head, trying to regain his bearings. COLE Gunner seems focused. CABOOSE Maybe lunkhead's attitude has finnay gotten the best of him!! Gunner slides out after Hoff and drives a knee into Hoff's ribs! Gunner grabs his foe, and Hoff's eyes bug out as Gunner angrily tosses Hoff over the ropes by his hair! Hoff lands hard on his shoulder, rolling to a corner and rubbing it before using the ropes to pull himself to his feet. Hoff levels his gaze at Gunner, who waves Hoff on! Hoff charges with a clothesline, and Gunner ducks! Hoff turns, and gets stunned by a right hand! Another! Another! Hoff reels backwards, and Gunner drives him back to the corner, shoulder-first! Gunner steps back, then charges in, planting his shoulder under Hoff's jaw! Hoff's neck snaps back as the fans begin to will Hoff back into it! "LET'S GO HOFF!" "LET'S GO HOFF!" "LET'S GO HOFF!" Gunner flips off the crowd, but Hoff seizes the opportunity and gives Gunner another thumb to the ocular cavity! Gunner steps back, holding his face, and Hoff hops onto the second rope! Gunner looks up just in time to be hit with a diving cloithesline! Hoff rolls on top of Gunner and hooks the leg! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! COLE THese fans approve of Hoff's tactics! CABOOSE Oh, sure, it's okay when HOFF does it... Gunner throws a shoulder up with authority. Hoff gets off of Gunner and to his feet, pulling the big man up by the hair. Hoff flexes his bicep for the crowd, driving them wild, before grabbing Gunner's arm and pulling Gunner toward him! COLE Short-arm...hey wait! Hoff rears back his arm for the short-arm clothesline, but Gunner charges forward, clotheslining Hoff instead! Hoff hits the mat hard as the fans cheer! Gunner makes a quick cover! ONE! TWO! NO! Shoulder up! COLE All these kickouts have to be taking some energy out of both guys! COACH Indeed, the question of stamina and conditioning may come into play! Gunner beats Hoff to his feet, then scoops Hoff up, dropping him across his knee back-first. COLE That rib breaker, also known as a Schmidt backbreaker, is such a simple yet effective maneuver. Gunner drops Hoff and AGAIN makes a cover, hooking the leg, but Hoff powers out at two. COLE This is sound strategy from Gunner, just to wear Hoff down and make him work. I told you he was smart. COACH Fair enough, Mikey, guess I owe you a Coke. Gunner gets to his feet again, picking Hoff up and whipping him into the corner. Hoff lies in the corner, woozy, as Gunner charges in with a big splash, but Hoff moves at the last second! Gunner hits the corner, chest first, and stumbles backwards...right into a rear waistlock from Hoff! Hoff lifts Gunner up, and takes him over with a HUGE release German suplex!! The fans go BANANA, but both men are down after the move! COLE What a move by Hoff! That could turn the tide! COACH Yeah, and quick thinking as well! The referee begins a ten-count as the suplex is replayed on the monitors COLE Hoff snuck in right behind Gunner, and there you see, pops the hips and just powers him over. COACH Unreal, but...it took something out of Hoff as well! The referee reaches three as Gunner begins to stir. Hoff, meanwhile, crawls to the corner, using the ropes to climb to his feet. Hoff takes a second to breathe, then stalks over to Gunner, grabbing him by the neck and hooking his head and arm for a vertical suplex. COACH Wow, can he do this? COLE We've seen him drop Gunner with that Future Shock maneuver, I'm sure he can pull this off! Hoff pauses for a second before reaching down, grunting, and lifting Gunner up, bringing him crashing down with a vertical suplex! Hoff sits up, then slowly rolls to his feet, pulling Gunner up off the mat as well. Hoff hooks Gunner again...pauses...and pulls him up, waaaay up, and drops him back down! Gunner grabs the small of his back in pain as Hoff takes a moment to lie on the canvas. COLE Good lord, what power from Hoff! COACH Yeah but he's slower each time! Take a look for yourself! Hoff picks Gunner up again. Hoff hooks Gunner for another vertical suplex, lifts him...but Gunner blocks the move with his leg! Hoff tries again, but Gunner blocks...and pulls his head free! Gunner quickly stands upright and grabs Hof, spiking him with a vicious DDT! COLE What a counter! Cover by Gunner! ONE! TWO! THRE--NO!! COLE Oh...Gunner ALMOST had him beat!

The scene cuts to Josh Matthews, with Hoff. The fans cheer, and Hoff smiles. MATTHEWS Hoff...tonight you go one on one with Gunner Sharps. You two have had some classic wars before, but the last time you met on pay per view, it was Gunner who came out on top. And I-- Hoff grabs the mic from Josh, almost ripping his arm out of socket. HOFF Gunner, you son of a bitch, tonight I am gonna settle this once and for all. You think you've got my number? One title victory. That's it, Gunner. One match, one night, one year ago. You want to live in the past? Well, then that's how we'll play it. I'm gonna go out there, and kick your ass....old-school. COLE Old school?! Hoff smiles and pauses as the fans cheer.

COLE Folks, we're all set to see the debut of our company's newest talent, Jay Richards. CABOOSE It's time to see if the kid can really go. The house lights go down, and the fans buzz. BUFFER The following contest is scheduled for one fall with no time limit! SATURDAY! SATURDAY, SATURDAY! SATURDAY! SATURDAY, SATURDAY! The arena lights start to flash as Nickelback's cover of "Saturday Night's All Right" blares...and out steps a smiling Jay Richards. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" BUFFER Introducing first, from Orange City, Iowa, and weighing in at 199 pounds...he is HeldDOWN's newest star, JAY RRRRRRRRRRICHARDS!!!! Jay comes sauntering down the aisle, trading barbs with the fans at ringside. Behind the smirking Jay is Jumbo, Richards' friend and bodyguard, expressionless. COLE Folks, like him of not, Jay Richards definitely has the attitude of a star. Jay climbs the ring steps, leaving Jumbo at ringside, and hops over the top and into the ring, raising his arms before pointing out to the crowd. COACH Attitude only gets you so far, Mikey, The Coach knows! I got tons of attitude! CABOOSE Yeah, bad attitude. "Saturday Night's All Right" dies down....replaced by "Oh Hell Yeah" to a huge reaction from the crowd! BUFFER And his opponent, weighing in at 260 pounds, from Fall River, Massachusetts....PETER KNIIIIIIIIGHT!!! Knight steps out to a round of cheers from the DC crowd. PK slaps some hands at ringside, but keeps his eyes locked on Richards. COLE Peter Knight looks to be in a foul mood, guys. We saw him snd Jay a message three days ago, taking a brutal beating to Alfdogg! Will tonight end the same way? CABOOSE It better not, if Jay Richards wants to make it here. PK spares a glare for Jumbo before entering the ring as the lights come up. Referee Tim White reads the rules to both men, making sure that Richards understands. The cocky youngster blows him off. COLE Jay Richards doesn't look afraid of Peter Knight at all! COACH He should be. *ding ding ding* And PK POUNCES on Jay to a huge pop! Knight takes Richards down with a double-leg takedown and begins hammering away at his smaller foe. Richards rolls over PK and then rolls away, crawling to a corner. PK gets to his feet and chuckles slightly before waving the rookie on. COACH PK is going right after Jay Richards, maybe trying to intimidate him! CABOOSE I've been in the ring with a lot of guys, and PK is an intimidating competitor. Jay gets up, then says something to Jumbo, who nods. Jay comes toward PK, and the two meet. PK tries to grab Jay, but the smaller man slips under PK's arms and leaps into the air, kicking PK in the back of the head! COACH Yowza! PK stumbles forward, then turns back...right into a spinwheel kick! Knight hits the mat, and Jay immediately hooks the leg, but the veteran star kicks out easily at two. COLE Gonne take more than that to keep Peter Knight down! CABOOSE Yeah, but it's good strategy to stay on your opponent. Jay pulls PK up, but PK throws a forearm to Jay's gut on the way up, doubling Richards over. PK runs off the ropes, and throws a clothesline, but Jay ducks! Knight turns, and Jay throws another spin kick-- but PK catches the boot and shoves Jay backward, knocking him down! "YEEAAHH!!!" Jay gets to his feet quickly, but PK is right there with a side headlock. Jay, though, whips PK off the ropes, then catches him with a headscissors! PK hits the mat, and Jay immediately goes for the pin once more! White counts, but Knight is out at two once more. CABOOSE I like this from Richards. He seems focused more on winning than style. COLE You like style! CABOOSE Well, that's true. PK gets up, but Richards meets him with a knife-edge chop! Richards smiles...but PK glares HARD into his eyes! Jay's eyes go wide, and PK seizes the moment, rearing back and chopping the hell out of Richards' chest! "WOOOOOOOOO!" PK throws Jay into the near corner, and begins chopping away before grabbing Jay by the underarms and hurling him out of the corner. Jay lands on his tailbone and grabs his BUTT, drawing a laugh from the crowd! PK's expression remains focused, though, as he grabs Jay and hooks him up, then lifts him, and drops him in a vertical suplex! PK rolls through, pulling Jay back up while keeping him hooked! COLE Could be the Knight Roll! PK lifts Jay and drops him again! The fans cheer as PK picks Jay up for a third time, and lifts him...but Jay slides out of PK's grasp and slides down his back, turning his fall into a victory roll! The ref counts! ONE! TWO! THR--NO, as PK kicks out! Both men get to their feet and charge and PK throws a BIG lariat, nearly knocking Jay's head clean off! COACH DAYUM~! Jay folds inside out, and Jumbo gets up on the ropes, but PK knocks him off! The fans cheer as Knight heads back to Richards and picks him up, pressing him HIGH overhead! PK yells out to his fans as he carries Richards above him...then finally drops him to the mat! Jay clutches at his ribs, which took the brunt of the impact, until PK rolls him over and goes for a pin of his own! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT, just barely! PK gets up, and pulls his foe to his feet. PK whips Jay into the ropes, then catches him with a sidewalk slam! PK leans into the cover, and Jay BARELY gets a shoulder up! COLE Jay is in a bad way here! PK picks Jay up again, but Jay fires off an elbow to PK's gut! Jay throws another, then quickly finds his feet and runs the ropes. Jay comes off with a FLYING FOREARM~ that floors PK! CABOOSE Atta boy, keep fighting! Jay rolls up to his feet. then pulls PK up before hitting a stand-up dropsault! PK hits the mat again, and Jay lands on his feet...then poses for the crowd! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" COLE Come on, this is stupid! Jay's got a match to wrestle! CABOOSE Yeah, and he's doing it his way! I gotta respect the attitude. COLE A minute ago you said you respected fundamentals! CABOOSE Yeah, whatever. COLE But you...you...ARGH! As Cole rips out his hair, Jay spins one finger in the air, then heads onto the apron! COLE This is Jay's Tornado Moonsault! We saw it the other week, and it's one hell of a move! Jay sizes PK up as Knight lies on the canvas, then leaps over the top rope, twists, lands on the second and moonsaults over....but NOBODY HOME as PK rolls away! PK hops to his feet, and shakes his head! COACH PK was playing possum! Ha! CABOOSE Oh, damn. PK looks out across the crowd...and yells "THAT'S IT!!" COLE PK looking to finish it right now! Knight grabs Jay from off the mat, and lifts him onto his shoulders for the KNIGHTMARE...but Jumbo grabs his ankle! PK turns, and Jay rolls off of his back as Knight jaws with Jumbo! Referee White tries to break it up....and he doesn't see the LOW BLOW!! "BOOOOOOOO!!!" COACH DAYUM~! COLE A low blow! And now...what's this?! Jay grabs PK's head, jumps, and brings it crashing down with a ROCKER DROPPER! CABOOSE YES! He calls that move the Orange Slice!! COLE Wait, how do you know that? CABOOSE He told me. The boys, they all love me. They hate you too. COACH Awwww... Jay makes an excited cover...but there's NO REF!! Jay, angry, gets to his feet and grabs White by the arm, spinning him around and getting in his face! White points to Jumbo, and he and Richards get into it! CABOOSE Jay, come on, let it go, man! Just pin PK! COLE Oh, I don't think so! PK is getting back to his feet! The fans cheer as PK does indeed get up, and before Jay can react, PK grabs him from behind and trips him! Jay hits the mat and PK grapevines the legs, hooks the arms, and traps Jay in the ACE IN THE HOLE!! COLE OH MY!! PK'S DEADLY FINISHER! THIS HAS TO BE...hey, hey wait, WAIT! THAT'S-- A figure comes CHARGING down the aisle, a blur in jeans and a jacket, and slides into the ring. He sizes PK up....and BLASTS him with a superkick!! *ding ding ding ding ding ding ding* The referee calls for the bell as PK falls to the mat! The man looks up.... COLE THAT'S CHRIS STEVENS!!! Stevens looks out over the crowd, before motioning Jumbo into the ring. COLE What the hell is this?! CABOOSE That's CHRIS STEVENS!! Stevens checks on Jay, helping the rookie to his feet as Jumbo pulls PK back up. Jay pats Stevens on the arm, and Stevens lets him go, walking over to PK and spinning him around. COLE Wait...was Chris Stevens the mystery man?! COACH He has to be!! Stevens smirks as he hooks PK from behind in a butterfly position, spins around, and traps PK underneath his back....before dropping him with an UNPRETTIER!!! "BOOOOOOOOOO!!!" COACH COLE What is going on here?! Stevens gets up, laughing as Jumbo kicks PK out of the ring. Security comes out, half holding PK back, half helping him to the back. COLE Chris Stevens has returned...but why? CABOOSE Well look no further, Cole, because he's gonna tell us! Stevens does indeed ask for a mic. He takes it, putting one arm around Jay as he addresses the jeering crowd. STEVENS Did you miss me? "YOU SUCK! BOOOOOOOOOOOOO" STEVENS You people, you undeserving people, are witnessing history. For too long, I've taken a backseat to everyone else in this damn company. Young guys, old guys, it doesn't matter -- I've been better than every one of them. "BOOOOOOOOO" STEVENS And yet I get no respect. This man...this incredible athlete who could barely get a shot. This man over here....one of the biggest badasses I've ever seen. We're done taking the backseat. We're calling shotgun on this whole damn company. And you will notice. Stevens pauses, smiling at the irate crowd. STEVENS From this day on, you people will see us for the greats we truly are. You're looking at the new hottest thing in primetime, and I promise you, we will spike the ratings. We are Chris Stevens, Incorporated... We are C-S-I. Stevens tosses down the mic, and throws his other arm around a laughing Jumbo. The three men, now known as CSI, smile, soaking in the fans' reaction. COLE Wait....CSI?! CABOOSE I like it! COLE Well Chris Stevens and company looking to get noticed! But why PK? Hopefully we'll hear more on Thursday!! CABOOSE CSI....I don't just like it, I love it!!
