RECORDED AFTER LICENSE TO PIN Jesse "The Body" Ventura stands outside the dressing room of The Original Elite, a microphone in his right hand. Chattering in the background. Various personnel coming and going. Along comes Tony Brannigan, drenched in sweat and holding the back of his neck from the Pollycutter he took. Jesse sees him coming his way and gets ready. BYSTANDER Great match, Ton'. TONY I lost, idiot! Ventura is stunned when Tony brushes him off, instead going right into the dressing room. He goes right for CWM. TONY (shoves CWM) CWM, you son of a bitch! You cost me the World Title. You cost me the World Title!!! CWM remains claim, letting his fellow T.O.E. member vent. OAOAST officials quickly arrive and keep the two apart. Brannigan is taken out of the room, still shouting and saying some naughty words that are bleeped. CWM just looks on, COLE We're back live on TSM, and what incredible footage shot after License to Pin. The Original Elite breaking up in front of our very eyes. CABOOSE Good riddance! COACH Just before License to Pin the Elite signed for a World Tag Team Title match for sometime this month. What does this it mean for that? COLE I'm sure we'll find out as time passes. *GOOOOONG!* COACH Uh-Oh! "YEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" "GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN!" As Kool and the Gang's "Jungle Boogie" hits in the arena, Leon Rodez makes his way through the sliding doors of sliding doom. The usual jig and smile aren't present however, as Rodez limps gingerly down the aisle favouring his back as result of the Ultimate X Match at License 2 Pin. Jovial or not, the fans cheer him anyway, as he makes his way up the ring steps, entering the ring and calling for a microphone. Michael Buffer obliges, to a smile and a wink from The New-Age Love Machine. RODEZ Whassup? COACH YO~1 RODEZ Alright, as you can probably tell, I'm not out here to wrestle tonight. After License 2 Pin, I'm still pretty beat up. Still...at least it isn't last year. See, last year at License 2 Pin...well, the show kinda sucked for the mostpart. Ironically enough though, it was from License 2 Pin 2004 onwards that my career changed. I went from getting destroyed by Drek Stone in that stupid Deathmatch Tournament...to becoming what you see before you today. One of the most entertaining superstar on the OAOAST roster today, even if I do say so myself. "YEEEEEEEAAAAHHHHH!" RODEZ From License 2 Pin 2004 onwards, I stepped up my game. It started with Angleslam, taking on Drek Stone. Dirty Deeds, I was in the Gauntlet Match. Then, World Without End, I won the X-Division Title from The Blurricane. Climax, it was The Mad Cappa. At Anglepalooza, I was involved in a fourway match with Panther, Chris Bryte and Zack Malibu. Chris Stevens at Zero Hour. Another fourway at Anglemania IV. On I rolled to Living Anglelously, Last Man Dancing with The 70s Dude. And then, Ultimate X on Sunday night at License 2 Pin. And in that space on one year, those matches on Pay Per View, they all had ONE thing in common... Rodez smiles. RODEZ They all...stole...the show! "YEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" COLE He does have a point. You're always guaranteed a great match with Leon Rodez. CABOOSE Matter of opinion. RODEZ See, I've been earning some plaudits from different people here and there for putting on good matches on Pay Per View, great matches on Pay Per View and sometimes some pretty fantastic matches on Pay Per View. But, with all due respect...I'm not here for an ego boost. I'm not here to wave my *beep* around and say 'Hey, look how big my *beep* is!'. I did that in my old job, I don't need to do that anymore. CABOOSE Too much information. RODEZ I'd be lying if I came out here and said I'm happy with my performance at Ultimate X. People around the world, when License 2 Pin was over, were talking about that match more than any other. But am I happy about that? No. Because I'm out here and I'm beltless. And THAT'S what matters. I went out, gave 100% and of that I can be proud...but in the end, I could care less, because Peter Knight is the X-Division Champion and I'm not. Head hanging, Rodez sighs. RODEZ So, to be honest, I don't really want to dwell on Ultimate X all that much. Yeah, it was a great match. Yeah, we did lots of cool flippy stuff and dropped each on our heads oh my godz~! But instead of dwelling in the past, I'd rather talk about the future. About next month. About who The Showstealer is going to have another Showstealing match with at Angleslam. Well, I'm not sure what our esteemed new General Manager has planned for moi, but I'm going to go over everyone's heads and I'm going to do something so unheard of, it boggles the mind. I am...*deep breathes*...okay, I can do this...it's okay, calm yourself Leon, be in the zone not around the zone...okay, here we go...I am...going to organise myself a match that the OAOAST might actually be able to advertise more than a week before a Pay Per View!! "YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" RODEZ Leon Rodez, in a Pay Per View match that hasn't been thrown together at the last minute!?! CRAZY TALK, I hear you cry! Well, it's true. Because I've got something in mind. What I have in mind...is to settle something that's needed settling for a while now. That being a match, one on one, at Angleslam, with Leon Rodez taking on...Christian Wright. COLE WOW! Now, there's a challenge! COACH You're not kidding! That's a huge challenge! RODEZ I've waited around for too long, let Christian Wright screw me around for too long. See, being the guy that I am, revenge and retribution seemed to slowly dissappear into the back of my mind in the days I was left on the shelf. After Living Anglelously, I was ready to tear Wright limb from limb. By the time I had come back, 'Nice Guy Rodez' mode had kicked in and when I finally had the chance to do some damage to Wright, I sprayed him with some silly string, threw a pie in his face and left it at that. Being the guy that I am, Christian Wright got away with what he did. But during the Ultimate X Match, something happened. Something woke me up. I finally got a taste of facing Christian Wright. And now, one 450 Splash doesn't seem enough. Now, I've finally woken myself up and I want to get my hands on Christian Wright finally. So, at Angleslam, I want Christian Wright one on one. No taglines, no add-ons, no gimmicks. Just me. And Wright. Man to man. To settle this once and for all. Rodez pauses for a moment. RODEZ Sooner or later, the challenge is going to filter back to you and I'll be waiting for an answer. In the meantime, I'm gonna go out, I'm gonna party and I'm gonna get myself a little preparation. Because, once The New Age Love Machine gets going tonight, I can guarantee you, he's going to be Slamming the ladies...from all Angles! Tossing the microphone away, Rodez smiles away as he begins to leave the ring, saluting the crowd and acknowledging the cheers around him. (cut to backstage) Watching on a backstage monitor, Jade Rodez swells with pride as she watches her brother leave the ring. Even going so far as to applaude him, smiling away as the picture on the screen continues to follow Leon up the ramp. Meanwhile, as Jade continues to watch on, two shadows appear behind her and the sound of snickering. Confused, Jade turns around wondering where the noise is coming from, finding herself face to face with Valerie and Constance, The Minnesota Angels. CONSTANCE Hey, look Val, it's Jade Rodez. VALERIE So it is. And judging from the clothes, being a whore must run in the family. Hey, if you're looking for customers, then there are plenty of street corners you could be hanging around on, instead of using a public place of work. Jade growls at The Angels under her breath, trying to keep her temper. JADE Do you want something, besides a slap? VALERIE (faking fear) OOOOOOHHH! CONSTANCE Pretty tough words, considering you can't back them up. Speaking of which, how's the training going? VALERIE I'd be surprised if she could even hit an armdrag yet, Connie. Then again, I'd be surprised if she could walk and chew gum at the same time. *laughs* *high-five* CONSTANCE Good one Val. JADE Yeah, 'good-one Val'. For your information, I'm doing just just fine...I know the basics already. See, when Leon first got started, I took up some training and that was two years ago. So I'm well ahead of schedule. And as far as not being able to back up my words? I know your type. You're the 'popular kids'. You walk around, picking fun at people, laughing away in your little clique like you're something special. Listen girls...I dealt with mouthy little bitches like you in high school all the time. If you're not careful, I'll deal with you two. The Angels look at each other in disbelief. VALERIE You're kidding me, right? CONSTANCE She's not serious. VALERIE She can't be. CONSTANCE You seriously think that you could 'deal' with us? Talk about delusional. Let me fill you on on something, missy. I've been in this business for a few years too. Only difference is, I didn't give up at the first sign of a discarded pizza box. Me and Val have worked too hard for too long to let some little jumped up whore walk into the OAOAST and get paid because her brother's famous. Face it, that's the only reason you're here. If not for that, you'd be at a checkout somewhere running our groceries through. VALERIE If you think we're scared of some trainee, just because he brother used to be something special, you can think again. We're the top female tag team in America. We're respected ATHLETES! We will NOT...be disrespected by some reject from a Michigan brothel! The Angels look about ready to pounce on the outnumbered Jade, when suddenly, Leon Rodez walks over, standing beside her sister. Val and Constance recoil slightly, not looking quite so anxious to attack anymore. LEON Problem? CONSTANCE What a surprise. As soon as there's trouble, little Jadey hides behind her brother. Word of advice, Jade. If you ever graduate from the academy and some how get your wrestling license...learn to stand on your own two feet. Because you won't have 'Big Bro' to fight your battles for you. JADE I can fight my own battles just fine. Infact, if you two aren't busy next week, maybe I can fight them then. The Minnesota Angels versus me and a partner. How does that sound? CONSTANCE A FEMALE partner...you can't pick your brother. We're not going intergender... Leon wipes his hand across his chin, looking The Angels up and down. LEON Pity. Flustered, The Angels think about attacked again...but think better of it again. VALERIE Alright, bitch. We'll see you and whoever you can find in the ring next week! CONSTANCE You'd better hope you can find a good partner, because you're in WAY over your head. WAY over! As The Minnesota Angels storm off, Jade watches on with a snarling look on her face. Beside her, Leon smiles, wrapping an arm around his little sister's shoulders. LEON First match, eh? Aw, my little sis is growing up. JADE *laughs* Shut up! LEON C'mon, I think we're done here tonight. Let's go grab a pizza or something, I'm starving. Once again, we go to the back. WALL I can't believe he's the new General Manager! I hate him! Stephen Joseph How dare they overlook me? ME! I should have been chosen. I'll see to it at the next board meeting. Wall Uhh, SJ? Stephen Joseph Yes. Wall What's 1400 pounds and pissed off? Stephen Joseph Oh. Shit. ::He slowly turns around:: Wall! It's just Cal's product placement team. The Chick-Fil-A Cows! Hey guys! Cows MOO! SJ and Wall turn back around and walk away, but somewhere, down that hallway, four eyes follow them out. Farmer Jim Don't worry baby. He's scared. We'll get him next week... CABOOSE .....I don't believe this. Commercial break

As we return to Baltimore, the crowd rises to their feet as HOLLY-WOOD & LOGAN MANN appear onstage, aruging. Synth tries playing peacemaker to no avail. Logan grabs Holly's arm, begging her to return backstage, but she frees herself from his grip and continues marching to the ring, ignoring the words coming out of his mouth. COLE We know Holly asked for some interview time tonight, and I can only imagine the toll the past 4 days have taken on her personal and professional relationship with the Heavenly Rockers. Everyone who caught License to Pin live on pay-per-view saw a woman hop over the security railing and throw paint, which was contained inside a cup, in Holly's face. As Logan attended to his girlfriend, Narcissistic Ned nailed him from behind with the 90210 enzurigi. We don't know who this woman was, except that she was charged with disorderly conduct and released on bail. And if that wasn't enough, guys, I've been told her records -- mugshot, police report, ect. -- were "mistakenly destroyed" hours after bail. COACH They're an embarrassment to the union, M.C. COLE Canada isn't apart of the United States, Coach. COACH After what you just reported, I'm glad they're not. Freeloading Canadians. COLE There's something really corny about the whole situation, that's for sure. Holly grabs the microphone from Michael Buffer. HOLLY This has got to stop, and it has to stop now! I can't live like this anymore! The past 8 months have been pure hell for me physically and emotionally. I've experienced both heartache and just recently the gift of love from my friendship with Logan blossoming... COACH Blossom?! Whoa! COLE About two people picked up on that reference. HOLLY (CONT'D) ...into love. And it's because of that love that I'm willing to risk everything for this nightmare to finally end. So, Ned, bring your self-serving, self-centered, self-righteous, narcissistic ass out here right now. There's something I want to say to you, asshole! "YEEEEAAAAHHHH!" CABOOSE Apparently she didn't get the word we're no longer on pay-per-view. Holly paces, waiting for Ned to appear. The crowd BOOS as Narcissistic Ned steps out onto the rampway, a smug look on his face. Sarcastic Simon and Jim Cornette there for moral support. "ASS-HOLE!" "ASS-HOLE!" "ASS-HOLE!" CORNETTE If you morons don't shut up, you won't get the pleasure of seeing an athlete currently performing at his highest possible level without the aid of performance enhancers. "BOOOOOOOOOO!" NED Holly, it's never been my intention to cause you pain. You talk about how the past 8 months have been hell for you; it's been the same way for me. Every night I dream of us strolling down the beach holding hands and kissing like true lovebirds. It's said "love conquers all." Well, I'm ready to conquer because I love you, honey bunny. HOLLY How dare you say that you love me, you bastard! How could a man who supposedly loves a woman beat her up and put her life through misery on worldwide television? You're a voyeur, Ned. You don't love me. All you want to do is...(pointing at BUTT)...hit this and leave like you did to Krista 5 years ago. NED Well, okay, maybe I don't love you love you, but I do want to conquer you. I've wanted to since the first day we met last year. Now, I admit, I did some pretty rough stuff to you earlier this year, but it's only because I read in FHM Magazine that you liked it a bit rough. You like it when your lover pulls on your hair and talks dirty to you. I like it when my woman digs her fingernails into my back, singing a heavenly chorus as Dick Johnson sings in the rain. HOLLY What a piece of work you are, Ned. You've been putting me and the my I love through hell just because I turned you down. That's sad. But like I said, I'm willing to risk everything to end this once and for all. So I tell you what. You want to conquer me, Ned? You what to...(pointing at her BUTT)..."hit" this? Ned smiles, nodding. HOLLY (pushing Logan away) No, Logan, I gotta do this. For us. For the band. (to Ned) What I propose -- ever heard of that word Logan? -- is a match next week. The Handsome Hustler versus...the Angel of Death. COLE What?! Holly's just challenge Narcissistic Ned to a match next week! COACH Well, she is a former Women's Champion. HOLLY You'll get your chance to "hit" it next week, stud. That is, if you can beat me on-on-one. But if I win, then you'll agree to leave me and the Heavenly Rockers alone forever. Logan crotches, placing his hands in his face. Simon and Jim are just as shocked as Logan and the rest of the crowd. NED (laughing) Wait a minute. So you're saying if I beat you, you'll sleep with me? HOLLY Glad to know you can hear. Yeah, you heard me right. NED And you'd enjoy it, right? No crying or anything? Holly falls backwards and spreads her legs, giving us a wonderful shot that would be censored on UPN. COACH PANTY SHOT~! HOLLY Hell, honey, not only would I enjoy it, but you can bang me in this very ring in front of a national television audience for all I care. COLE I think the FCC would have a problem with that. NED Get out of my dreams and into my bed. You're on, woman. I only ask of one thing, honey bunny. Come prepared because you're in store for the single greatest night of passion that'll make the hardest of hardcore movies look like softcore porn on Cinemax. Until next week, think of your Neddy Bear. I know I'll be thinking of you. Narcissistic Ned and Logan have a super INTENSE~ staredown. Holly gets in front of Logan and hugs him. He still can't believe what Holly has done. COLE You heard it, fans. Next week -- Holly-Wood vs. Narcissistic Ned! If Ned wins, Holly will give her body to him. COACH I guess it's fair to say Holly's in for some...stiff...competition next week. Bwahahaha! COLE Oh, shut up! CABOOSE Tune in next week when the OAOAST turns into XPW. (We pan to Calvin in his office and for the first time tonight, he's chillin' like a villian, yo. A janitor is emptying the countless ashtrays that were found in Calvin's desk.) CALVIN Finally, some time to just sit and relax. This job isn't *too* stressful so far. (And because of Murphy's Law, the door swings open much to the chigrin of Calvin and in comes...Crystal?) CRYSTAL Hey, you're not Josie! When did this happen? CALVIN Way to pay attention to the programming Crystal. Hello, I'm Calvin Szechstein, you're new General Manager. CRYSTAL Yeah, yeah, whatever. I'm hear to talk about a vacation. You see, I have this, uh, great grandmother and she's ill... CALVIN This wouldn't happen to be the same "great grandmother" you've been "taking care of" for the past month, is it? Because according to these papers Josie left behind, you've been gone for a month on a PAID vacation. Quite frankly Crystal, for a so-called Upstart, you don't seem very motivated to show up the Originals. In fact, ever since 2005 hit, you pretty much have been slacking off. Maybe Josie didn't notice, but I sure as hell have. CRYSTAL Slacking off? You're talking to the Female Phenom here! CALVIN Uh huh. Well, I never really bought into your hype, and I'm not about to now. And another thing... (Calvin's would-be rant is interrupted by the door being swung open again, but instead of a snobby, slacking female wrestler, it's the X Champion, Peter Knight!) PK I know you gave me two weeks off Calvin, but I don't need it. I was to defend my X Title tonight! None of this resting crap! "YEAHHHH!" CALVIN Peter, you know I can't let you go out there tonight after that brutal match up you had on Sunday. But hey, if you're feeling up to it, I'll let you go next week, in a match of your choice. CRYSTAL WHAT?!? (Both PK and Calvin turn their attentions to Crystal, a bit confused at the sudden outburst.) CRYSTAL You just give him what he wants on a silver platter? Talk about biases! That's not fair! CALVIN You on vacation doesn't help this show at all Crystal, although it would certainly make my job a hell of a lot easier. Knight wrestling, he helps this show. CRYSTAL (scoffing) Yeah, right. This never-will-be? PK Better than being washed up after 2 and a half years in the company. And since the only time we ever met is when you were stalking me to win that 24/7 title 2 years ago, why don't we have ourselves a little matchup next week, huh? CALVIN Hey, I like it. Advertised matches are money. It's booked! CRYSTAL Uh, fine! I need a tune up match after taking some time off anyways! Oh, and just like I took that 24/7 title away from you, I'm going to take that precious X-Title of yours too! (Crystal storms off of the office, huffing and puffing as Peter turns to Calvin.) PK Women. CALVIN Tell me about it. At least you won't have to deal with her week in and week out. JANITOR Or will he? CALVIN Will you get the hell out of here already? The janitor, who has a name tag that reads "Lee Mazzilli", hangs his head and steps out the door. (A shaky, home camera recorder cuts to a bar, which we see Brodie in there, making her way through the crowd. Of course, since most are OAOAST fans, they part to the side for her in case she feels like randomly killing them. The camera makes its way towards where Brodie is sitting at the bar and the person filming persumingly sits besides her.) BRODIE You got my money? (The camera nods, and after a moment of shaking, a gloved hand produces a plain, white envelope. Brodie immediately opens it up, counts what's in it and gives an approving nod.) BRODIE Good doin' business with ya. Oh, and when everyone finds out who you are, they are goin' to freak. (And with a final laugh, Brodie gets up and leave as the camera is suddenly turned off.) COLE Just disgusting! (It seems that Ashley Street agrees with Cole's assessment, as the AngleTron shows her shaking her head in disgust.) COACH Ashley obviously feeling the disgust at her friend getting nearly life-threatening injuries for a mere $7500. Our hopes and prayers are with Jenny and her recovery. Josh Matthews stands backstage with Alfdogg. JOSH I'm standing backstage with Alfdogg. Tonight, he gets a shot at Hoff for the #1 contendership at AngleSlam. You must be VERY excited, Alf. ALF Well of course, Josh. But you know what I'm even more excited about? I'm excited to find out just who our new commissioner is going to be tonight. Whoever it is will get to watch, on his very first night on the job, Alfdogg etch his name in stone as the Main Event at AngleSlam. *crowd boos* ALF And I'm gonna do it right here, in Baltimore, Maryland. *mixed reaction* You know, if I had a nickel for every legendary athlete to come through this town, I'd have...a nickel! *crowd boos* ALF You know, 'cause I'm here tonight. JOSH Gotcha. ALF You know, these people should be respectful of that fact, instead, they choose to disrespect me. What the hell is wrong with these people? JOSH Perhaps these people don't agree with you philosophies. ALF What are my "philosophies", Josh? JOSH Well, I'm sure some of these people remember how you cheated to win your OAOAST World title some three years ago. ALF *rolls eyes* Since when did cheating become so unacceptable in Baltimore? *LOUD boos from the crowd* ALF You know, I always have hated Baltimore. That's the thing I'm NOT excited about, is that my biggest night since my return has to fall in this shithole. I mean, what's wrong with these people...A guy can get away with MURDER and become the crowd favorite, yet they choose to shit on me? Their running back is in prison AS WE SPEAK, for God's sake! They'll take him back, too. And they wonder why the Colts left this place? *The booing intensifies with every sentence* ALF But enough about these people, I'm embarassed that I spent so much time talking about these people. I want to talk about Hoff tonight. You know, this morning as I had my breakfast, some cereal, a little juice...that would be grapefruit juice, not the kind that Rafael Palmeiro has in the morning, mind you... *crowd REALLY lets Alf have it* ...I was thinking about Hoff's recent success here in the OAOAST. And I hear him run his mouth about the future, and use his move, the "Future" Shock. Well, let me tell you something, Hoff. *Alf grabs the mic from Josh and gets closer to the camera.* And I hope Axel is listening, too, because you're next, son. You guys may be the "future" of the OAOAST...but you're about ready to get slapped in the face with a dose of the PRESENT, courtesy of Alfdogg. And while the so-called "legends" fart around in their battle with your "future", I'll be looking down, watching, laughing, from my rightful spot in the OAOAST throne, as World champion. *Alf slowly lowers the mic from his face and we fade out at he stares grinning into the camera.* Commercial break

COLE Welcome back to the show. On Sunday, we saw what might have been the damndest thing I've seen in a long, long time, as Jenny Adams went into an unsanctioned, no holds barred brawl against Brodie Lewis, the young woman after the $7,500 bounty on her head. Jenny fought hard, but she made the mistake of letting her emotions get the best of her, and got completely desimated in a very, very wild brawl. COACH In the end, she got knocked out cold, even after being severely cut open on more than a couple of places on her head and body, and was stretchered out of the building. Doctors unfortunately found that Jenny suffered a skull fracture and seperated shoulder, as well as a cut on her forehead being mildly infected, and has been forced to sit at least the next few months out of action. The OAOAST World Women's Title has been held up; stay tuned to the OAOAST TV Network and other OAOAST-affiliated communication venues for details on how the vacancy shall be filled. CABOOSE In the meanwhile, OAOAST officials aren't giving Brodie the belt like they SHOULD! And not only that...she's STILL suspended! At least she gets some dough... COLE Speaking of that...does anyone know who exactly was funding this whole thing? COACH Still no leads, though there's an investigation out. But anyway...Jenny was scheduled to defend her title here tonight against a competitor from Mexico who's coming in for a couple of weeks to help our young female competitors learn more in terms of how to compete in between those ropes, being recommended by Jenny Adams after her and Confusia's stint below the border last summer for the Centuria Federation Libre promotion. Jenny can't wrestle, so her spot goes to "Floggin'" Molly Matthews. COLE The opponent is Centuria Federation Lucha's top technico star, and their current Freeweight Champion, Pantera Combatienta, which roughly translates to "Panther Fighter". She has a tremendous understanding and expertise of the mat wrestling game, but can go to the air if needed, as she's been wrestling for nearly a decade south of the border. She'll be a tough challenge for Molly Matthews, who wants to be known around the world for her insane Lucha and European-style mat wrestling and pin cradles. This match will be contested under two out of three falls rules, to accomidate Pantera's lucha libre background, though we're not going to the extremes of banning piledrivers and other lucha-specific rules, to not make the playing field too uneven for Molly. CABOOSE WIthout any further ado, let's go to the ring! Some generic Spanish-orientated music comes on, and out comes Pantera Combatienta, wearing a huge Mexican flag made into a cape, an orange mask with black tiger design all over it, black horns and black fur on the cheeks, a white spandex-like sleeveless shirt, and red and green pants. She slaps hands with some fans, as there's a slight polite applause from the crowd, who doesn't know who she is. BUFFER The following is a two-out-of-three falls non-title bout with a forty-five-minute time limit! Introducing first, she stands in at five feet, three inches tall, and weighing in tonight at 128 pounds...she is the current Centuria Federation Lucha Freeweight Champion....Pantera Combatienta! COACH I saw this young lady work out in the ring today with some of the female wrestlers we have here, and I can bet we'll all be in for a treat. "Rebels of the Sacred Heart" starts up, and "Floggin'" Molly Matthews comes out to a chorus of cheers! She throws her cap into the crowd, then runs down the ramp and slides into the ring! She takes off her hockey jersey and tosses it down to the ring attendant before doing a backflip off the top rope and pivoting to bow towards Pantera. Molly and Pantera shake hands mid-ring, then back into their corners. BUFFER Her opponent...from Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at weighing in at 136 pounds..."Floggin'" Molly MAAAATHEEEWS! *BELL RINGS* Both competitors circle around mid-ring, trying to figure out how they're going to start off the contest. Molly tries half-hazardly to go for the legs, but Pantera steps back. Molly gets to her feet immediately to avoid an attack from Pantera. Both only stall for about another second, as they quickly charge at one another. They try to get some sort of collar-and-elbow tie-up going, but they can't get their positioning right, so Pantera grabs Molly's hands and locks up Greco-Roman style. They struggle for the advantage back and forth, shoulder-to-shoulder. Combatienta uses her height disadvantage to try and get under Molly to power her over. It succeeds somewhat, as she starts forcing Molly to bridge down to the mat. Molly gets about half-way down...then sees an opening and hooks her leg around Pantera's right knee, pushing upward and taking Pantera's leg out from under her to take her down. COLE Unique takedown there. Molly keeps ahold of the knucklelock with both hands, trying to pin Pantera's shoulders to the mat. Pantera's able to keep her shoulders off of the mat during this, so Molly lets go of one and goes right into a keylock on the ground. Molly's only able to bend down on Pantera's arm for a second, as Combatienta reaches her legs around and locks in a side headscissors. Pantera cranks down with her thighs, as Molly tries bridging herself to get out. Pantera slaps her in the stomach to stop the attempt. But, Molly bridges up too quickly to be stopped a second time, then rolls her feet behind her, landing in a kneeling position beside Pantera, pulling her head out of the headscissors, and going for a lateral press... 1... Kickout! Both get to their knees and dive in for a clinch lock-up (collar only). Pantera uses that to go into a headlock. Molly reaches out for anything, trying to get the crowd behind her. She then steps on the back of Combatienta's knee, forcing it to bend and for her to go down to one knee. That makes it easy for Molly to then squeeze her head out and apply a headlock of her own. Pantera wiggles her head around, trying to escape from the headlock. She gets her head out, and goes to a waistlock. She cranks it in, trying to take the air out of Molly. Molly gets her hands in between Pantera's and goes for a standing switch...but Pantera's one step ahead, and pivots to take Molly down with a waistlock takedown instead. COACH Pantera's got veteran instincts; she's one step ahead. Pantera holds Molly down in the referee's position (waistlock with defensive opponent on all fours). She grabs Molly from the inside leg as she grabs a half-nelson to turn Molly over and into a lateral press... 1... Kickout! Pantera stays on top of Molly, as Molly keeps her arm up in the air. Pantera grabs the arm with one hand and tries forcing it back down to the mat. Molly tries to raise her other arm, but Pantera grabs it with both arms and goes into a grounded armbar. Molly can't get her arm out, so she tries standing up. Combatienta goes with the flow, coming up with the armbar intact. Pantera then twists around and goes behind for a reverse hammerlock. Pantera cranks in on the hold, as Molly looks like she can't get out. So, Combatienta goes for a chinlock, possibly trying to convert it to a cross-face chicken wing. But, she leans in too far and lets go too much of the hammerlock, allowing Molly to twist around, drop down to her knees, and bring her down with a fireman's carry takedown, right into an armbar! COLE You can tell Molly's learning just from being in there with someone so experienced. Molly switches her grip to grabbing Pantera's hand, then pulls her up by it, going right into a British courting hold (arm barred underneath armpit). Pantera tries going for a front facelock, but Molly is able to not allow her to do so by cranking down on the courting hold. So, Pantera grabs Molly's head and slowly pushes it downward, using that to clinch Molly's head. Pantera then twists herself and Molly around, hooking the other arm and reversing the courting hold into a backslide.... ...Molly rolls right out, but Pantera reaches right up and grabs a front facelock with a Kimura-lock (reverse hammerlock clutched from up front). Pantera pulls Molly up to her feet with it, then whips Molly over with it. Pantera goes right into a side headscissors with the arm in an armbar. Molly twists herself around, as Pantera keeps ahold of the arm. Molly goes for a one-armed headstand, but Pantera's once again one step ahead, hopping off of the mat to drop Molly on her head. Molly briefly goes limp, but gets right back to a kneeling position, as she has both arms back now. Molly goes back to the headstand while in the headscissors. Pantera goes for the hop head drop again, but this time, Molly pushes off of the mat and escapes to land on her feet just in time! COACH With youth comes quickness... Pantera tries to kick at Molly, but Molly catches the leg and starts to crank on the ankle. She applies pressure to the ankle, but Combatienta turns herself over, putting her spare leg over Molly's head while doing so, then comes to a one-legged standing position, as her ankle's still being twisted. Pantera then grabs at Molly's hands until she's able to break the ankle twist and go into the wristlock, as the crowd applauds. Molly tries doing a roll to get out of the wristlock, but as soon as her back hits the mat, Pantera takes advantage and goes for a short arm-scissors! Molly tries to lock her hands together to keep her arm from being extended, but Pantera overpowers her and applies if fully! COLE So far, without a doubt, it's been Pantera Combatienta one step ahead of the game at every turn. Molly's trying, but there's only so much she can do compared to Pantera's experience. Molly suffers as Pantera pulls on her arm. But, Molly finds a new gameplan, lifting up her far leg and scissoring Pantera's bottom leg. She forces Combatienta's legs apart with the legscissors, then turns Pantera over, putting herself in a kneeling position above Pantera and allowing herself to pull the arm out and apply a double chicken wing. Pantera tries to get to her feet to go for some sort of reversal, but Molly stays on top and keeps Pantera face-down on the mat. Molly then tries rolling the hold into a tiger bridge pin, but Pantera rolls right through and frees her arms, allowing her to pull Molly up with a standing side headlock. CABOOSE I'm just beggin' someone to poke an eye or hook an ear! Molly's able to quickly pull her head out of the headlock while putting her leg out in front of Pantera's, using it to shove and trip her down. But, Pantera thinks on her back and grabs Molly's leg to trip her up and cause her to fall backwards. Pantera gets to her feet immediately with hold of both of Molly's heels, then grabs a thighlock (back of knee placed on shoulder and thigh pushed in with both hands). Molly tries to pull apart the grip on the thighlock with her own hand, but isn't strong enough to do so. So, she uses her free leg and wraps both legs together, forcing Pantera right into a hanging triangle choke, the pressure of which forces Pantera to break the thigh-hold. Pantera can't escape the hold, so she leans forward, pinning Molly's shoulders to the mat... 1... Molly rolls a shoulder over, forcing Combatienta to the mat while keeping the triangle hold applied. Molly has to roll onto her stomach to keep the hold applied. Pantera's able to get to her knees and squeeze her head out of the hold, but can't get her arm out of the scissors. Molly applies more pressure to the arm, leaving Pantera no choice but to grab Molly and roll her into an Oklahoma Roll... 1... T... Molly throws a shoulder up, then re-applies an armscissors on Pantera's left arm. Combatienta leans forward again to pin Molly's shoulders to the mat... 1... Molly rolls a shoulder up! Pantera cannot figure out what to do within this armscissors that she hasn't already done, so she tries rolling forward. That only hurts matters, as it allows Molly to apply a proper short armscissors. But, the flat-back position of Molly gives Pantera an opening, as she's able to roll backwards, forcing Molly on her stomach with Pantera in a kneeling position at her feet. Pantera pulls her arm out of the now-half-assed armscissors, and the luchadore applies an anklelock. Molly quickly starts some sort of a struggle forward, trying to get out of the hold. She even tries hopping on one foot to get forward, but can't. So, Molly does a jumping front roll to get out of it while kicking away Pantera's hands! But, she leaves her arm open when she lands, allowing Pantera to pull her up by it and go right to a side wristlock. COACH Looks like Pantera's sticking with the usual lucha libre strategy of attacking the arms to prevent the opponent from doing any quick submissions or pins. Molly quickly rolls forward, then rolls back onto her back, followed by a kip-up, all to keep Pantera on her toes while applying the wristlock. As soon as Molly kips back onto her feet, she grabs on with her free hand and armdrags Combatienta over...but Pantera keeps ahold of the arm and comes back up with the side wristlock! Molly can't believe the reversal didn't succeed, but gets over it quickly, rolling backwards to try and untwist her wrist. Molly then turns herself around completely quickly, climbs up Combatienta's side with one leg and spins herself around with the other leg going over Pantera's head, landing in perfect position to reverse into a side wristlock of her own! COLE It took some effort, but Molly finally got out of the wristlock! Pantera only takes a couple of seconds to recover, as she rolls onto her back and grabs onto Molly's hands with her own. Pantera kicks away Molly's far hand, then rolls backwards, coming up on her feet with Molly's arm twisted, then grabbing it into another side wristlock. Molly's can't figure out anything new to counter into another wristlock, so she grabs Pantera by the mask and pulls her in, hooking the head and rolling her into a small package... 1... TW...Kickout! Both wrestlers come to their feet immediately, and Molly goes right to a side headlock, using that to bring Combatienta over with a headlock takeover. But, Pantera quickly reverses with a side headscissors. Molly goes right to the front kneeling position, then rolls right through, getting her head out of the headscissors and going right back to the side headlock. Pantera grabs Molly in a side waistlock and rolls her as if she's going for the cradle pin reversal of the headlock. But, Pantera rolls Molly all of the way over and grabs a front facelock. Combatienta converts that into a side headlock for a side headlock takeover, but Molly reverses immediately with the side headscissors once again. Pantera goes right to the front kneeling position, grabs Molly's legs, and turns over to flip Molly on her stomach. Pantera rolls backwards and on top of Molly, hooks her legs, and locks in a cross-legged single-leg crab (Texas Cloverleaf w/out the arm in between the legs)! Pantera cranks back on the legs, and Molly can't figure out the reversal. So, she ends up crawling over and getting a rope break. COACH So far, this match has basically been Molly failing to play catch-up against Pantera's mat game and expertise. COLE It looks like the advanced chain wrestling by Pantera and running out of reversals got to Molly, and she had to stop the momentum with the rope break. Combatienta backs off, as the crowd applauds the wrestling they've seen so far. Molly pulls herself up with the ropes, then shakes off her arm. Molly extends her hand, and Pantera shakes it. They then circle mid-ring again, trying to find any opening to go in on. Finally, they both go in on a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Pantera quickly uses it to go to a side headlock. As soon as Pantera can get full control of the headlock, she transitions right into a wristlock. A look of frustration comes over Molly's face, as this is the hold that's haunted her so far in the match. She grunts in pain, then goes for a low dropkick to Pantera's knee. Combatienta side-steps while keeping ahold of the arm, and grabs an armbar on the ground to keep Molly down. CABOOSE Molly's starting to form an aggresive streak...I dig it. Pantera cranks in on the armbar, but not for long, as Molly gets her legs up and brings Pantera down in a side headscissors. Pantera struggles in the hold, then leans her body back and kips up, effectively escaping. Molly gets to her feet as soon as Pantera kips out, to avoid a standing attack. They quickly go into a Greco-Roman knucklelock, but Molly kicks away one of Combatienta's hands and twists around, going right into a top wristlock. Pantera only suffers for a moment, as she twists herself around and reverses into a top wristlock of her own, once again going after the targetted arm. COLE I think Combatienta's trying to teach Molly a lesson on how to handle herself when being out-skilled, but Molly isn't picking up on it just yet. Molly tries unbending her arm with her free hand, but can't find the power to do so. So, she twists herself around, unbending and untwisting her arm, and goes into a rear waistlock, trying to squeeze the air out of Combatienta. Pantera reaches back for a headlock and latches on, but Molly lifts her up, looking to go for some sort of side suplex. Combatienta cranks in on the headlock, disorientating Molly long enough to reverse and bring her down with a headlock takeover. Pantera reaches back and grabs Molly's hurt arm, then lets go of the headlock and gets to her feet, stands up, and pulls Molly up by the arm. Pantera then locks in a standing Fuijiwara armbar. Molly gets punished with the hold briefly, then dives in and reverses with a single leg takedown! Molly gets up and applies a spinning toe hold, then ties both legs up in a "4" shape, sits to the side with it, and locks in a cravate! COACH What a hold! If she can stay with this, she could have found her ticket to victory! Molly cranks on Pantera's neck with the cravate while applying pressure to the legs with the inverted figure four. Slowly, Combatienta is able to squeeze her head out of the cravate...but that allows Molly to lay back and apply more pressure on the Figure Four! Pantera quickly squiggles back and grabs the rope to force a break. Molly breaks the hold accordingly and gives Pantera room to get back up to her feet, as the crowd applauds the two competitors' back-and-forth wrestling once again. COLE Molly's finally starting to find an opening here...she came up with a move that even her veteran opponent couldn't counter, and I think that frustrates Pantera. COACH Let's see if Molly can use that frustration to her advantage. Both circle around mid-ring for a second, until Pantera reaches out for Molly's target arm. She grabs the wrist, but Molly yanks it away successfully and continues circling. Pantera charges at Molly and they go into what looks more like a sumo clinch than anything else. Pantera and Molly quickly go back into the corner. Pantera keeps ahold of Molly, as the referee tries forcing a break with his count... ONE! TWO! THREE! Combatienta backs off of Molly...then slaps her right in the face! The crowd gasps, as Molly rubs her face where she got slapped...then reaches back and lets off a LOUD chop to Pantera's chest! Pantera grabs at her chest, then delivers an open-handed slap of her own! Molly shrugs it off and goes for another, but she makes the mistake of throwing with her bad arm, and Pantera capitzalizes by grabbing it and coming down with a Fujiwara armbar. Molly tries rolling out, but Pantera rolls with her. She keeps the hold on, as both are literally sitting side-by-side. Molly gets up to her feet and literally is yanking at her arm, trying to get it free. Finally, she decides to leap and roll over Pantera, with the momentum freeing her arm from the hold. COLE Things are picking up here! Both are up, and they go right back to the sumo-like clinch. Molly gets the advantage and uses it to lift for a bodyslam. But, Combatienta floats behind and brings her back with a state roll/prawn hold pin... 1... TW...Kickout! Both competitors are up, and they go right into a collar-and-elbow lock-up. Molly gets the advantage and locks in a front facelock. Pantera tries lifting Molly up, most likely for a Northern Lights suplex, but Molly slides down her back and brings her over with a sunset flip.... BUT! Pantera rolls through, then grabs the legs and pulls off a jackknife cradle pin... ONE! TWO! THREE! BUFFER The winner of fall one....Pantera Combaaaaatientaaaa! COLE Wow! Out of nowhere, Pantera Combatienta came with that pin! CABOOSE What happened was that the veteran luchadore let her younger opponent get a false sense of pride and advantage, allowing her to surprise her by taking the advantage back just like that *snaps fingers*! Shocked opponent plus good pinning combination usually equals a three count. COACH As our competitors go back to their corners for their thirty-second rest period, let us remind you that coming up, live on Pay-Per-View, August 28th, is Angleslam! The summer showcase for the best and the brightest that the OAOAST has to offer! That's Angleslam, August 28th! Be there, or be hexagonal! Back to the action... The bell rings to signify the beginning of the second fall. Both competitors come out of their corners, and shake hands in mid-ring, calmed down from the flared tempers in the first fall. They circle around for a brief moment, then go into a collar-and-elbow lock-up. Pantera gets the advantage and tries for a wristlock, but Molly smartly rolls away, then rubs her hurt arm. Both wrestlers just look at one another for a moment, then start to circle for a second. They go right back into a collar-and-elbow tie-up, and Molly gets the advantage. She uses it to go for a headlock, but Pantera wriggles away, showing that her head and neck might have been affected by the facelock figure four combo. Pantera shakes her neck, then they circle around once again. COLE It looks as if both wrestlers have staked out targets on their opponents... Both competitors dive in and go for a collar-and-elbow tie-up once again. Molly gets the advantage and brings Combatienta over with a snapmare, then turns her around and goes for a kneeling front facelock. But, Pantera once again squeezes her head out. Both wrestlers come to their feet and go right to yet another collar-and-elbow tie-up. Pantera's able to slink in and bring Molly over with an armdrag, but Molly rolls away into a corner to get away from a possible grounded armbar. Molly gets up, shaking off her arm, and both start circling mid-ring once again. They go into another collar and elbow tie-up. Molly uses it to apply a headlock, but is quickly shot off to the ropes by Combatienta. Pantera throws a clothesline, but Molly rolls under it to avoid it upon coming off of the ropes. Pantera turns around and walks right into a headlock takeover! COACH It seems like Molly really should be trying to keep the pace quick, since that's when she's able to get the upper hand because she's both quicker AND is wearing down Pantera cardio-wise with the head and neck-based attack. Molly keeps the headlock cranked on the mat. Combatienta tries for the usual headscissors reversal...but Molly hooks the legs with her arm and cradles for a pin... ONE! TWO! Kickout! Molly has to let go of the legs, but keeps ahold of the headlock, pulling Combatienta up to her feet with it. Pantera cannot squeeze her head out of it, so she lifts Molly for a side suplex. But, Molly flips over Pantera's shoulder and lands on her feet behind her opponent, going right back to the headlock. Pantera reaches back and tries shooting Molly off to the ropes, but Molly keeps ahold of her mask and pulls herself back in, trying to switch arms while re-applying the headlock. But, Combatienta ducks the arm and is able to lock in a reverse waistlock. Combatienta goes for a German suplex, but Molly blocks it with her leg. Pantera then changes her gameplan and locks in a half-nelson, applying pressure on Molly's left shoulder and hurt arm. Molly tries to directly yank her arm out but can't. However, she's able to go under and score a standing switch into a half-nelson of her own, which she immediately transitions by going under the arm and applying a cravate! COACH Molly's showing that, once she has a hook to hang her coat on, she's ready to go with the best. Molly cranks down on the hold, twisting Pantera's head as far sideways as she can. Finally, Combatienta is able to step on the back of Molly's near knee, bending it and sending her down to one knee. Pantera's in position to easily yank her head out of the cravate, and does so. Pantera then grabs Molly's targetted arm and brings her down into a Fujiwara armbar on the mat! Molly reaches out, but sees that she's nowhere near the ropes. So, she tries a somersault roll to escape. But, Pantera slides her body the opposite direction as they were, allowing herself to keep ahold of the hurt arm while scissoring the far arm with her leg, and brings Molly over with an inverted crucifix pin... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Molly rolls out, but Pantera keeps ahold of the hurt arm upon rising to her feet, going right into a British courting hold. Molly is in increasing pain, so she tries an escape by lifting Pantera and going for a bodyslam...but Combatienta keeps ahold of the arm and pulls Molly down to the mat, right into a grounded armbar. Molly can't escape, so she rolls her legs back, trying to grab some sort of a headscissors to bring Pantera over into an inverted victory roll. But, Pantera has it scouted and lets go of the armbar to hook the legs under her armpits and into a cradle... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Pantera immediately grabs Molly's arm and pulls her up to her feet by it. Pantera then twists Molly's arm and goes into a top wristlock/hammerlock. Molly struggles in the hold, as she goes down to one knee. She then does a forward roll, loosening Combatienta's grip on the hammerlock, and leaps up as soon as she gets to her feet, bringing Pantera over with a hurricanrana! Pantera rolls up to her feet and charges at Molly, but gets sent down with a drop toe hold! Molly hops out in front of Combatienta and pulls her up with a headlock. COLE It looks like momentum's turning once again. Molly quickly switches the headlock to a front facelock to alleviate her hurt arm somewhat. Molly cranks on the hold for a second, then tries to go for a suplex. She gets Pantera half-way up, but Combatienta is able to reverse by locking in a bodyscissors, rolling Molly forward to a sitting position while keeping the bodyscissors intact, and applying a Kimura-lock (reverse hammerlock while in front of opponent). Molly's completely stuck in this hybrid hold, so she has no choice but to roll over to her stomach, putting Combatienta under her in a pinning predicament... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Pantera rolls back over, keeping ahold of the bodyscissors and Kimura-lock while having Molly on her back. Molly is in an inescapable hold, which leaves her no choice but to push herself to a seated position with her free hand and roll back over to pin Pantera's shoulders on the mat... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Pantera turns Molly back over, but gives up on the bodyscissors Kimura-lock, transitioning right into a short-arm-scissors. Molly's already been victim of this hold in this match, so she's able to figure out a creative escape. Molly bridges her body upward, then walks her feet around, bringing Molly to a front kneeling position on the opposite side of Pantera, breaking the arm-scissors while being in position to hook the leg and go into a lateral press... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Both competitors come to their feet right after the kickout, as Molly's able to grab Pantera's head and force it down, putting her in position for some sort of powerbomb. She lifts Combatienta, but Pantera escapes and lands on her feet in front of Molly. Combatienta then kicks Molly in the stomach and goes for a powerbomb of her own. But, as Molly's lifted, she's able to shift her weight and grab Pantera's arm, and reverses with an armdrag! Both wrestlers roll to their feet, and Molly charges at Pantera. She leaps and grabs Pantera's head, then swings around in mid-air and brings her over with an incredible tornado snapmare! COACH Physics would argue with what I just saw actually existing! Pantera comes right back to her feet and runs into a big hiptoss! As soon as Pantera hits the mat, Molly leaps up and comes back down with a legdrop! She goes for the cover... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Pantera rolls to the floor, practically admitting that Molly's offense is starting to get to her. Molly sees what's happening, charges, and nails an awesome tope con hilo (flip dive over top rope) onto Combatienta! The crowd cheers loudly, as Molly pops up to her feet, clutching her hurt arm to her side while grabbing Pantera and tossing her back into the ring with the other. She stops briefly to acknoledge the cheering crowd, then climbs onto the apron. Pantera's back up on her feet, in a bent position. So, Molly comes into the ring and goes for a running swinging neckbreaker. However, Combatienta was playing possum, as she's able to twist all of the way around and reverse it with a backslide... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Pantera gets to her feet first, and connects with a LOUD low dropkick to the face of a kneeling Molly! Combatienta pulls Molly up to her feet, wrings her arm, then pulls her right into a shoulder tackle that sends her down to the mat. Pantera keeps ahold of the arm and pulls Molly up by it, then sends her off to the ropes with an Irish whip. Molly comes off of the ropes and gets sent back down with a jumping shoulderblock by Pantera. Combatienta pulls Molly up and forces her into a corner. Pantera then steps back and connects with a hard karate kick to Molly's shoulder on her hurt arm. Pantera reaches back with her foot, then delivers a second one. Pantera twists the arm in a wristlock, then sends Molly hard to the other corner with an Irish whip...only Molly charges in awkwardly and goes shoulder-first into the top turnbuckle! COLE Ouch! Pantera walks over and pulls Molly up. She hammerlocks Molly's arm behind her back, then lifts her and brings her down with a backbreaker, slamming all of her weight down on her arm. Combatienta straightens the arm completely out on the mat, then does a headstand on it, applying all of the pressure of her body weight down on it. She even moves her head around slightly to torture the elbow joint. Finally, Molly starts slapping Pantera in the back, trying to knock her off. The slaps seem ineffective, so Molly rolls her legs back, wrapping them around Combatienta in a bodyscissors, and brings her down to the mat with it! Molly keeps the bodyscissors on and tries for a rear naked choke, but her weakened arm and an attempt by Pantera to break it won't allow her to apply it well. Molly ends up just going for the bodyscissors, as Pantera rolls over. Combatienta then tilts her upper body, and goes into a full-blown headstand as Molly keeps the bodyscissors applied while on her stomach. Pantera then pops out of bodyscissors and back onto her feet! COACH We went from one of the most unique predicaments I've seen in a wrestling ring to one of the more unique escapes... Both women come back to their feet, as Pantera grabs Molly's arm, twists it once again, then brings her down with a single-arm DDT. Pantera immediately hammerlocks the arm behind Molly's back, then does a rolling bridge while holding onto the arm, locking in a bridging hammerlock. Molly reaches her hand out, trying to reach for a rope break. But, she's nowhere near. The pain starts to increase, as Molly holds her hand up. It seems as if she's debating whether or not to tap out and give the match up two falls to none... COACH This could be it! A small chant starts... "MOLLY!" "MOLLY!" Molly keeps her hand up...and places it firmly back on the mat! She pushes up with it, and comes up to one knee as Pantera keeps the hammerlock applied overhead. Molly slowly comes up to her feet. When she does, Pantera goes behind her and tries to keep a reverse hammerlock applied. As soon as she grabs it, Molly sees the near-by ropes, leaps on the middle rope with both feet, then flips behind Pantera to escape! She lands on her feet behind her opponent, then grabs Pantera in a waistlock and rolls her back into a state roll/prawn hold pin... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Molly immediately leaps to the second hold, holding her arm to her side. Pantera rolls to her feet, and Molly leaps at her. Molly grabs Combatienta's head and goes for a tornado DDT...but gets caught and tossed to the ground face-first by Pantera! Combatienta pulls Molly up, hooks her in a pumphandle, then lifts her upside down and drives her down with a shoulderbreaker on the bad arm! Pantera pulls Molly up and sends her off to the ropes with an Irish whip. She grabs Molly on the way back and hits a backflip Japanese armdrag, then lays out the arm and comes down on it with a standing senton! COACH What fluid movement! Pantera pulls Molly up yet again, hammerlocks the arm behind Molly's back, and hits an STO, driving Molly's weight down on her own arm. She goes for the cover... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Pantera immediately pulls up Molly, with her body language giving away that she's frustrated that she hasn't finished Molly off yet. Combatienta holds out Molly's arm, then delivers a stiff European uppercut to the lower bicep. Pantera then slides her thumb across her throat to signal that it's "over". She whips Molly into a near-by corner, then backs up. Combatienta then does a cartwheel, then two back handsprings, leaping around to do some sort of avalanche in the corner to Molly...but Molly moves! Pantera goes face-first into the ringpost and stumbles back, falling to the mat! The crowd comes to their feet, as Molly stumbles around, holding her arm. She zones in on Pantera, who is down and not moving on the mat. Molly walks over, turns Pantera on her stomach, then grabs her near arm, goes through the La Magistal motions, then she hooks the far arm under her right arm, rolls for the pin, and hooks the near leg with her far leg... COLE Operation Pinfall! ONE! TWO! THREE! BUFFER The winner of your second fall, now at one fall apiece...."Floggin'" Mollllllly MAAAAAATHEEEEWS! The crowd loudly applauds as Molly crawls backwards and back to her corner, all while clutching her arm to her side. The referee shakes Pantera, trying to wake her up. Combatienta comes to all fours slowly, as the blow to her head temporarily knocked her out. The referee asks her if she's able to go on, and Pantera excitedly yells "YES!" The referee sends her back to her corner as the rest period continues... COLE She's very lucky that the blow wasn't more serious...it looked like her head ricocheted off of that ringpost! COACH Wait...I'm getting something in my headset...it looks like we'll get an official word next week on THIS very program regarding the status of the OAOAST World Women's Title, and its vacancy. CABOOSE That'll be a blockbuster... The bell rings, and it's time for fall number three. Pantera charges at Molly and throws a clothesline. But, Molly rolls under the arm to avoid it. Molly comes back to her feet, and Combatienta throws another clothesline...but Molly rolls under that one too! Molly's back on her feet and shoves Pantera's head down, flipping over her to bring her over with a sunset flip... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Both wrestlers come back to their feet, and Pantera throws a forearm. But, Molly ducks under it, going behind and hooking both arms to bring Combatienta over with a backslide... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Both competitors come up, and Molly immediately brings Pantera down into a small package... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Both are back up, and Molly brings Combatienta back down again with a hurricanrana into a cradle... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Molly gets up before Pantera and is able to get a sunset flip as she's bent over...but Combatienta rolls through and rolls herself forward for a jackknife pin... ONE! TWO! Molly bridges upward, keeping ahold of Pantera's upper torso. She then twists it around into a backslide, but Lucha rolls right out. Both are up, and Molly floats over Pantera's leg to bring her over with a schoolboy... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Both come up again, and Molly leaps to wrap her legs around Pantera for a wheelbarrow that she rolls into an inverted victory roll.. ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Molly charges at Pantera, but she gets sent off to the ropes with a bi paso. Molly comes off of the ropes and Pantera lifts her for a tilt-a-whirl slam. But, Molly reverses with an armdrag! Both roll to their feet and Molly throws a superkick. Pantera catches the foot and spins Molly around, but she uses the momentum to leap up upon the full spin and bring Pantera over with a flying headscissors takedown. Pantera gets up dazed, as Molly charges at her. Pantera ducks down and backdrops Molly over the top rope, but Molly lands on her feet on the apron. Molly climbs to the top rope, Pantera turns around, and Molly hits a flying bodypress from above..but Pantera rolls through, then locks in a short arm-scissors! COLE This could be it! Molly frantically tries with all of her will to reach out to the ropes as soon as the hold's locked in. She has to drag Pantera's weight with her, causing her to move slowly. She inches and crawls to the ropes...but stops right before she gets to them. It looks as if she can't move on, but the crowd gets together with a rhythmic clap to get behind Molly...giving her the energy to reach out and grab the ropes! The crowd cheers, as Pantera lets go of the hold and pulls Molly up to her feet. Pantera goes for a suplex, but Molly is able to slip out behind her opponent, hooks her head, and hits a reverse DDT/Russian legsweep combo takedown! Molly goes for the pin... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Molly pulls Pantera up and sends her off to the ropes with an Irish whip. Combatienta comes off of the ropes and gets lifted for a tilt-a-whirl into a tombstone...but Pantera is able to shift her weight sideways and reverse the move by coming down on her feet and lifting Molly for a tombstone of her own..and dropping her on her head with it! Pantera goes for the cover... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Combatienta pounds the mat in frustration, then pulls Molly up slowly. She points up in the sky, then down at the ground to signify that she's dumping Molly on the ground. She positions Molly for a powerbomb, lifts her, and runs for a Running Liger Bomb...but Molly reverses with a hurricanrana that sends Pantera face-first into the middle turnbuckle! Pantera's down, as Molly struggles to get up...and all of a sudden, Valerie runs down the aisle and leaps onto the apron to distract the referee! COACH What's the meaning of this?! Suddenly, Constance comes out of the crowd and jumps the rail! She slides into the ring and grabs Molly from behind! She hooks Molly's arms, lifts her while hooking her legs inward....and spikes her on her head with the Package Piledriver! Constance grabs Pantera and drags her on top of Molly, then leaps out of the ring and goes under the ring. Valerie drops down to the floor, as the referee turns around and goes for the cover.. ONE! TWO! THREE! BUFFER Your winner, two falls to one....PANTERRRAAA COMBATIENTAAAAA! Both of the Minnesota Angels climb into the ring and get ahold of Pantera. They stomp her, then Valerie pulls her up and hooks her in a pumphandle...the V-Spot (pumphandle lifted into piledriver)! They toss Pantera out of the ring, then grab Molly and toss her out of the ring. The crowd boos, as they were denied the ending of a technical wrestling clinic that they had been treated to and were intrigued by. CABOOSE THAT is how you handle yourself in a wreslting ring, not all this rolly-polly, nice-person stuff! Valerie and Constance stand mid-ring and mockingly blow out kisses and wave at the booing fans. V&C give each other a high-five, then leave the ring, spitting on Molly while walking away. COLE This whole ordeal was uncalled for! We had one heck of a bout here, and I know this could have ended up being one hell of a boost for the career of Molly Matthews...but these "Angels" had to come out and ruin it! COACH I hope they get their just dues! CABOOSE Whatever...just like these fans and myself, those two got bored with this "friendly technical wrestling match" and decided to do something about it! COLE Your ass must hurt...you sure do talk out of it a lot! Hopefully justice is served in this situation soon...more HD in three! Stephen Joseph is getting some coffee at the OAOAST Employees Only CoffeeTable aka ... SJ Hmm..A little cream, HEY, We're out of milk. Where's the damn milk? Anyone got milk? ::A shadow forms behind Stephen Joseph. He gulps and turns around...:: BROCK AUSSTIN Half n Half? A very relieved Stephen Joseph thanks Brock, who leaves. Stephen Joseph ::Looks Right, Looks Left:: It's just milk... And SJ walks off to the right, revealing right behind him... Commercial break

Here's what I wrote: COLE Also on Sunday, we learned that tonight we are going to have a big announcement regarding the General Manager position since Josie Baker was relieved of her duties by the OAOAST Board of Directors. Executive Vice President Bill Watts is in the ring right now, so let's throw it to him. Watts puts a microphone to his lips. WATTS I am proud to be here live among our great HeldDOWN fans here in Baltimore! "YEAHHHHHHHHHH!!!" WATTS (CONT'D) As you might have heard, Ms. Josie Baker is no longer the General Manager of this program. One of the reasons this came to be is the fact that she allowed this company to fall into a state of near-anarchy over the past few months, with "Upstarts" waging war against the OAOAST's more "established" stars. It seems that Ms. Baker just could not handle the stress, rarely showing up at the arenas, not returning calls, and even not attending mandatory meetings at OAOAST Headquarters. When we were searching for a replacement, we wanted someone that could be respected by our Superstars and can lay down the law when problems arise. I believe we have found this person. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce the NEW General Manager of HeldDOWN...... Watts pauses for dramatic effect. WATTS ......Calvin Szechstein!! "YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Three-two-one.... I'M THE BOMB!!! COLE OH MY!! "I'm The Bomb" by the Electric Six begins to play over the public address system as Calvin, decked out in a snazzy grey suit, charges through the curtains to a huge ovation. COACH The last we saw Calvin, he was taken out by the 70s Dude at Anglemania! But now, he's got THE POWAH~! Cal steps through the ropes and shakes hands with Watts, who hands him the microphone before stepping out of the ring. Calvin paces around, a big smile on his face. CALVIN Well well well. I clean up good, huh? "YEAHHHHHHH!!" CALVIN Me as General Manager of HeldDOWN....I really wasn't expecting this when I was lying on my couch a few months ago, wondering if I'd ever step into an OAOAST ring, but here I am. I'm not going to go on some long-winded acceptance speech thanking God, Jesus, Santa, my hairstylist; instead I'm going to just say one thing to the fans and one thing to every single person in that locker room. First, to Drek, Zack, GPX, all of you that are involved in this little "Civil War" that's going on: I'm not Josie Baker. I know you all; I've wrestled against you, I've hung out with you, I know what you are all about. If you think I can be manipulated to favor your side, then you can trash those thoughts RIGHT NOW! "YEAHHHHHH!!!" CALVIN (CONT'D) Because....and this is a vow I am making live to every OAOAST fan.....I will do what is best for the OAOAST. Not what is best for Zack Malibu, not what is best for Drek Stone; the decisions I will make will be for the benefit of these loyal fans that shell out their hard earned money to watch some of the best wrestling out there. I have been involved with this fed for over two years; I am not going to fold under pressure like the previous GM, I will do my damndest to make HeldDOWN worth our fans spending their Thursday nights with us week in and week out. I wouldn't have accepted this job with anything less in mind. And it all starts tonight. Thank you very much. COLE Wow....strong words from our new GM. I think Watts made a very good decision here, choosing someone that passionate. CABOOSE I could have done it. I LOVE bossing people around! COLE We've got a great night of action lined up for you tonight, so stay tuned!

A highlight video of License to Pin (that I'm too lazy to actually put together myself) airs to spoil it for the people that didn't order. At least buy the DVD you cheapskates. OAOAST HeldDOWN~!! La La once again accompanies our opening video. Let's go to the arena in Baltimore, Maryland, where there are more fireworks than Orioles wins lately. The cameras show off more fan signs, such as "Knight is X-ceptional", "Push the Cow to the Moon" and a rather large one that reads "Popick Sucks Arse", but that last one is held by a certain someone at Sofa Central. COLE Put that away! CABOOSE Hey, I'm nothing but truthful. (Under breath) Wrestling a cow..... COLE Good Thursday night to everyone; we are coming to you this week from Baltimore, Maryland, but people around the wrestling world are still talking about last Sunday night at Skydome and the great action we saw at License to Pin. COACH That's right, Cole. The AngleSlam main event right now is still Axel vs. Hoff for the title as both men were victorious. Brodie collected the bounty on Jenny Adams' head while Peter Knight retained his X-Championship in the match of the year, Ultimate X! CABOOSE And Popick pinned a cow. Big man.

Backstage, in the parking lot area, a limo pulls up to the back entrance, where CUBAN WALL and Vitamin X are standing, smacking chewing gum and looking tough in their sunglasses. Wall He's late. VX Always late when the important stuff is going on. The chauffer exits his driver's side door and walks around to the passenger side back door of the limo, opening the darkened door so that one man, Stephen Joseph can step out. He's currently on his Verizon~! flip phone (Only 29.99 with two year agreement, call now! 1-800 Verizon). Stephen Joseph (in cell) Gotcha. I don't trust him, but he could be useful. He doesn't like Zack, remember? Thanks for the heads up. We should meet in a few weeks. Stephen Joseph hangs up his cell phone WALL How's it going boss? Stephen Joseph Good. You guys expecting trouble. V-X Just some weird ass phone calls, that's all. PR says to play safe and stick together. Stephen Joseph Well, I need a drink. Beating a fat bitch, and a bitch, is tough work. Let's go. ...The three walk off. and from around the dark corner... moooooooo... Commercial break

I suppose I could put something in at the beginning with Watts introducing him.

Well, you can scratch Jason Varitek off the list of "Guys Who Have Never Hit a Grand Slam". Damn does the Royals pitching suck.

I just checked the schedule again and there's no game next Thursday, so I'm throwing whatever weight I have around here behind HD at Fenway next week.

We've hung around the Northeast too much lately. Baltimore it is. Sorry MMoM, but a Fenway outdoor show sounds like a great idea. Have we settled on a venue for AngleSlam yet? EDIT: Ah, dammit, they're playing a home game that day. I'm calling Boston for next week then. Yeah, the Fleet Center is now TD Banknorth Garden.

Dames still has THE POWAH~! and also THE GRUDGEAH~! against her, it seems.

Wow....that was just a horrible play by the Cubs. Why didn't the catcher just step on the plate for the force? I knew the Jays were going to make some noise in the race this year. They're meeting the Yankees soon, I think, so they've got a shot at passing them. They scare me a bit, since the Sox haven't been able to beat them lately for some reason.

Hmm...PK/Crystal is intriguing. CC if you have an idea about setting it up, I'm all ears.

Rentaria delivers a LARIATOOOOOOOOOO~! to Manny in left, but he doesn't sell it correctly. Just Manny being Manny.

Soooooooo....I take it I'm posting again? Call a city. I'll have some celebratory promoage, but that's pretty much it.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Oh god, I'm actually considering a feud with PRL. Someone talk me down.

I'm also looking for something to do for AS. I think it's still too early to do , so I'm kind of stuck.

Seymour ended his holdout, so that's the last "offseason issue" the Pats needed to deal with. I'm predicting (before any games whatsoever are played) 10 wins at the worst (if the secondary doesn't hold) and 13 at best for them this year. I was planning at the end of August on doing another "10 Burning Questions" thing but this time on the forums so more people can take place, but this thread seems to be the predictions thread.

Mark Bellhorn's first rehab AAA start: 0-5, 2 Ks. Today: 0-3, 2 Ks. Yep, he's back to where he was before the injury. If Graffanino gets benched for that schlub, I will be VERY upset.

I actually had more ideas for my part of UX (the ending), but I couldn't really fit them in once I actually started writing. I liked the Rubix Cube look of the graphics this time around. Good as usual tag match with some good commentary written in, something I sometimes have trouble with. Another woman for the women's division? Fine with me. Pimp Mah Vitamin! Would you believe I actually LIKE that show? A Cow huh? I won't judge. Brutal women's match. The intensity was there and there were some cringe-worthy spots. Brodie's sure getting over as a sick bad-ass. More to come.

I bow to the superior writing skills of the SWF. I can barely reach 3000 words when I write my stuff.

By my count on Word, UX is 7,607 words, but it is a very easy read, I think.

Well....that was quite a day at Fenway. Papelbon with a pretty good start and Manny returns to win the game. I have a feeling that the Sox are going to take out whatever frustration they have on the Royals this week.

Jon Papelbon is being called up to start tomorrow. Should be interesting what he brings to the table as he only gave up 1 run in three of his four AAA starts, striking out 21 while walking only 2.

EDIT: What Bored said. I really wish they'd just kill this Manny trade already and hold off until the offseason, though Manny and cash for Cameron and Milledge is better than the previous proposal.

Ultimate X is FINITO~! KC liked my part, so I feel all warm inside. Did Hoff get his match in before Thursday, since he won't be back until Tuesday? Because it will suck a lot if he didn't.
