MC:"Fans, we are back, and what a night it's been already." Coach:"That was a damn impressive debut, Michael." MC:"It was. For those who are just tuning in, Axel's open challenge was answered by a newcomer to HeldDOWN~!, a man going by the name of Panther. Not only did Axel get taken off guard by the newcomer, but he got pinned in the center of the ring. Let's take a look at the replay..." *Clip is shown of the finish of the previous matchup, as Panther drops Axel with Da Bomb, folding him up like an accordion.* Coach:"That HAD to hurt!" MC:"It was an impressive win, but it was left bittersweet as Axel got revenge with a post match attack, and laid out another challenge, setting up a rematch with Panther at World Without End later this month!" Coach:"I think Axel felt Panther had the element of surprise tonight, and is going to prove otherwise at the PPV." MC:"Speaking of surprises, a lot of people were shocked, ourselves included, to see certain talent not contracted to HeldDOWN~! appear last week. In order to quell the situation, as well as keep our own HeldDOWN~! stars in line and curb unwanted involvement in matches, General Manager Tim Moysey has appointed a HeldDOWN~! Cheif of Security. We take you now to the interview conducted with Tim earlier today, and the introduction of our Cheif of Security." *The tape begins, with Tim standing in the empty ring, the arena empty as we are hours from bell time. The GM, looking dapper in his business suit, paces the ring, and then looks at the camera.* TM:"OAOAST HeldDOWN~! The name brand in relentless action, the name brand when it comes to marketable, top notch superstars. The brand that I was appointed to run, when certain other people in this company tried to run it into the ground." Tim continues walking around the ring. TM:"I'm not going to mince my words. There has been a lot of things I've loved about being here, but there are also things that irk me. Hell, I've even taken to coming out of retirement at one point in order to take a...I guess you could say, a hands on approach to disciplining the talent. The truth is, I can't take on everyone, and I don't have eyes in the back of my head. So that is why I decided HeldDOWN~! needed something. An enforcer. Someone to defend the hometurf, but keep the team in line. Someone like this man..." *The camera turns, and a large man, about six foot nine, 320 pounds of solid muscle is standing there. He's wearing a HeldDOWN~! logo T shirt and baggy jeans. His jaw looks like it was chiseled out of stone, and his thinly shaved goatee surrounds a slight smirk.* TM:"Everybody, meet Charlie. Charlie Hoss. The new HeldDOWN~! Cheif of Security. He's here not to get physically involved...well, not unless he has to. Personally, I wouldn't dare provoke him that much, no matter who you are. Call him a lackey, call him a henchman, call him a guard dog...go ahead, say what you want. I know we've got critics. The only thing I have to say is, if you can't say it to his face, don't say it at all." *The camera pans in on the stern stare of Charlie Hoss, as the video fades out, taking us back to our announcers.* MC:"Holy...did you see the SIZE of that guy?" Coach:"Huge, Michael. Absolutely huge. Just like me." MC:"Uh huh. You're a regular Lou Ferrigno, Jonathan." Coach:"Don't make me flex for the fans." MC:"I wouldn't torture them that way. Fans, when we come back, it's Mad Matt and Northstar, 24/7 Title on the line! Stay tuned!"

Cue: ‘Breathe’ by Prodigy Axel appears at the top of the stage looking legitimately pissed off, twirling his baseball bat around in his fingers. ANNOUNCER: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome, The Dark One, and the Revolution Trophy Winner, AXELLLLLLLLLLLLL!! Axel does the crucifix pose on the apron, steps into the ring and snatches the microphone from the announcer. Cole: Axel looks really pissed off at something, but then again that is his normal demeanor. Axel: Welcome to my world. Now the time has come. All week, people have been coming up to me and laughing in my face about my loss last week, and at Dirty Deeds. It seems that Axel is out of place in the Tag Team division. So, tonight, I begin my demolition job in OAOAST. I have placed an open challenge to anyone who is stupid enough to accept it. A No Holes Barred match; falls count anywhere. I am powerful, I am immortal, I can do anything, I am cursed, I am the Darkness, so bring my opponent out here right now. Cole: Who’s it going to be? Who will answer Axel’s challenge? The lights dim right down, and everyone wonders just who will appear. Cue: "State Prop (You Know Us)" by State Property Pyro blasts off at the entrance and red and white spotlights flood the arena. Suddenly, the debuting PANTHER appears at the entrance, along with his manager Tina! Cole: It’s Panther! The newest member of HeldDOWN has answered Axel’s challenge! Axel steps out of the ring as Panther and Tina step in. Panther flashes a smile at the crowd, and then thrusts his right fist up into the air as pyro explodes from the turnbuckles! Coach: Axel seems unfazed by all this fuss Cole, he came to play tonight. Cole: I don’t know if it’s a good idea for Panther to be out here, at least not in Axel’s mood. Tina goes to ringside as Axel steps into the ring to face Panther. Axel rolls his eyes in the back of his head as he takes off his jacket. Cole: Look at the Dark One, intense as ever! Panther smiles at Axel and Axel smiles back. Axel goes for a right hand, but Panther gets there first. Another right hand by Panther. A flurry of right hands and an Irish whip. Axel runs the ropes, leapfrog by Panther, Axel runs through, and Panther catches him with a standing dropkick to the head. Cole: Great elevation by Panther on that dropkick. He is really showing something in these first few minutes. Panther picks Axel up and gives him a snap Suplex. Panther then goes straight for the left arm and tries for an armbar, but Axel scurries to the ropes. Cole: For those of you who are unfamiliar with Panther, he has been a pro for a number of years now, wrestling mostly in independent promotions. Right hand by Panther, followed by another, then a hard chop! WOOO! Axel comes back with a chop of his own! WOOO! Both men exchange chops, with each getting a big WOOO! from the crowd. Cole: Axel fighting back here, and let me remind all of you that this match is no disqualification, no count out, pinfalls count anywhere in the building, anything goes in this one. Axel whips Panther into the corner, and gives him a big right hand to the face. Axel puts Panther over his shoulders, and hits a Death Valley Driver! Cole: Power move there by Axel, and the tide of the match turns. Irish Whip by Axel, into a Spinebuster! Axel goes for the Axel Grinder, but Panther reverses into a Small Package! 1… 2… No! Axel powers out! Axel goes low with a kick to Panthers groin, but the referee can’t do anything. Axel lifts Panther up and gives him an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex! Cole: Axel goes low there, and hits a big Suplex! Axel goes up top and hits a Leg Drop! Axel goes for the cover! 1… 2… No! Panther got a shoulder up! Axel rolls out of the ring and clears the timekeeper off his chair. Axel picks the chair up and slides back into the ring! Cole: Look out Panther! He’s got a chair! Axel measures Panther and WHACK! Axel smashes Panther straight in the face with the chair! Axel puts the chair down and lifts Panther up! Kick to the midsection by Axel, Evenflow DDT on the chair! Cover! 1… 2… NO! Panther got a shoulder up! Cole: Axel thought he had the win there! Panther is showing us something on his debut! Axel, furious, goes to the outside and looks under the ring yet again. This time he pulls out a table! Cole: Axels got a table now, and this thing could go from bad to worse for Panther! Axel slides the table into the ring and sets it up. He then goes to the outside and picks up another table! Cole: Axel is setting up a few toys here! Panther is still down, and Axel sets up two more tables, one just outside the ring, and one propped up in the corner! Axel picks Panther up and signals for a running slam through the corner table! Axel puts Panther over his shoulder and runs for the table, but Panther slips off! Axel turns around and goes for a clothesline, which is ducked by Panther. Axel turns around again and this time Panther nails a T-Bone Suplex right into and through the corner table! Cole: My God! Panther hits the T-Bone! Panther crawls over to Axel! 1… 2… No! Axel kicks out! Tina smacks the mat to get Panther going again, and the crowd claps in unison! Cole: The crowd are really getting behind Panther here, probably because of their hatred for Axel! Panther gets up first, and Axel staggers to his feet. Right hand by Axel blocked by Panther, who hits one of his own. Another right hand by Axel blocked, followed by a right of Panthers. And another. Axel goes for a clothesline, but Panther ducks and kicks Axel square in the nuts! And again! And again! 9 kicks to the nuts by Panther, and then an uppercut! Cole: The crowd are eating this up! Axel is feeling the pain right now! Panther turns Axel around and hits the PANTHER CUTTER! Cover! 1… 2… 2.5… No! Axel gets a shoulder up right at the last second! Panther gets up and gets the steel chair. He measures Axel and WHACK! Panther smashes Axel this time in the face! Coach: A little payback there by Panther for earlier! Panther grabs the steel chair and sits it down near Axel! Panther hoists Axel over his shoulder, and then slides him down! Panther hits a Tombstone on Axel onto the chair! Cole: My God! He calls that The Truth! Panther goes up top and smirks to the crowd! Panther goes for a Frog Splash, but Axel moves and Panther gets nothing but chair! Cole: Panther took a little too much time there! You can’t afford to do that with Axel! Axel grabs Panther by the hair and drags him through the ropes onto the apron. Axel is now bleeding from the head. Cole: Axel is busted wide open here! It must have been that shot to the face! Axel puts Panther between his legs on the apron, just above the table. Axel lifts Panther up vertical! Cole: No! Don’t do this! Axel jumps, and crashes through the table, with Panthers head bouncing off the floor! Cole: Piledriver through the table by Axel! Oh my god! Panther could have a broken neck there! Axel rolls Panther over for the cover! 1… 2… NO!!! Panther somehow kicks out! Coach: I can’t believe it! How is Panther still conscious? Cole: Axel is furious that Panther kicked out! He can’t believe it! Coach: Neither can I Cole! Axel drags Panther back into the ring.

Panther runs up against the ropes, crotchng Axel on the top! Cole: That’s GOTTA hurt Coach. Panther hooks Axels head into a Suplex position. He tries to Superplex Axel, but Axel blocks it once! Cole: He might be going for a Superplex through the table here! Panther gives Axel a right hand right to the face! He hooks Axel again, and hooks Axel’s right leg as well! Panther lifts Axel, and they both go crashing through the table! Cole: Fisherman Suplex through the table! I can’t believe it! Panther crawls over to the cover… 1… 2… 2.5… NO! Axel gets a shoulder up! Cole: How the hell did he do that? Panther puts the boots to Axel, and looks at Tina. He yells something that we can’t hear at Tina, and she smiles and nods her head. Cole: What’s Tina doing? Tina goes to the apron and looks under the ring. She pulls out a trashcan and slides it into the ring! Panther puts the trashcan to the side and grabs the chair. He sets the chair up into its sitting position and goes over to Axel. Cole: What does Panther have in mind here? Panther goes for the Irish whip, but Axel reverses! Drop Toehold onto the Chair by Axel! Cole: What a reversal! Axel might go for the end here! Axel does the crucifix pose to a chorus of boos. Axel looks at Tina and laughs, while Tina is shouting for her man to get up. Cole: Axel doesn’t care about Tina or Panther! He just wants to hurt people! He is a sick, twisted human being! Axel grabs the Trashcan and puts it in the middle of the ring, on its side. Axel walks over to Panther and picks him up on his shoulders, ready for an Axel Slam…. Cole: Axel! Don’t do this! … but Tina gets on the apron and starts shouting at Axel! Coach: She doesn’t want to try Axel when he’s in this kind of mood Cole!

COVER! 1… 2… 3!!!!!!! Cole: I can’t believe it! Panther just beat Axel! ANNOUNCER: Here is your winner… PANTHERRRRRRR!!! Panther gets in the ring and celebrates with Tina, who raises his hand! But Axel is staggering to his feet! Cole: Look out Panther! Look out! Tina gets out of the ring and Panther turns around, right into a Harlem Sidekick from Axel! Panther goes to get up; But Axel kicks him right in the back! Cole: That’s enough Axel! You’ve proved your point! Axel grabs Panther and picks him up in a scoop slam position, but he puts Panther in the Tree of Woe! Axel runs to the opposite corner and screams at the crowd! Then, Axel runs towards Panther and baseball slides, kicking Panther right in the face! Cole: My God! He could have a broken neck! Axel goes to the outside and grabs his baseball bat, for his finale! Panther is in the middle of the ring and trying desperately to get up, Axel stands before him, baseball bat in hand, and Panther tries to climb up Axel to get to his feet, and Axel laughs in his face. Cole: This is sick. Someone please get out here and help Panther! Axel picks Panther up to his feet and hooks the Bat in his neck! Russian Legsweep using the Baseball Bat by Axel! Cole: Russian Legsweep! My God! Axel grabs the mic and walks over to Panther. Axel: Panther, you think you’re better than me? Huh? You think you can beat me like that? Use your little girlfriend as bait? I don’t think so. I came here to beat someone, and you got in my way. So, at World Without End, I want a rematch. Same stipulations, different result. Axel versus Panther, No Holes Barred, falls count anywhere. Cole: A rematch? He already beat you Axel! Axel: Oh, and one more thing. Welcome to HeldDown, bitch. Oh, and you too Tina. Coach: How disrespectful on Axel’s part. But it’s going to be Axel and Panther, No Holes Barred, at World Without End! You can’t miss it!

My buddy 'Mortal hit it on the head. Scrambled Eggs with some ketchup and some home fries/french fries is friggin' awesome.

I do not! I...I... ::runs off and cries:: Now I'm not a rat but I think everyone deserves to know about how you always break down in tears when you see emotinal SBTB episodes. Ladies, Zack Malibu is the most caring, deep, wimpy, blah blah blah man I know. Have pity on him. His friends really feel bad for him...and speaking as one of them his dating stories are really really sad. somebody lay the poor boy. Hey, I admit when I cry at TV shows. You're not a fink. That last episode of California Dreams hit me right there. Oh, and as for the dating stories, most of our "inner circle" of posters know 'em all. Hell, just dig up the worst breakup thread, or check that "lamest breakup line" thread for some of the drama I've had to endure.

I do not! I...I... ::runs off and cries::

Zack's Five: 1)Trent Acid-perfect as the asshole heel, and given his charisma, ring presence, and talent, he's a great all rounder to use as the cornerstone of a new company. 2)Sonjay Dutt-highly charismatic and crisp in hitting some insane spots. Would be a great babyface that gets the fans into matches. 3)Abyss-super heavyweight that has shown he can keep up with smaller/lighter workers. Perfect for being a killer monster. 4)Jimmy Rave-talented kid with the looks to draw in the "Hardy demographic". Perfect for the underdog/inspirational face role. 5)Homicide-Has taken a gimmick usually reserved for hardcore/garbage workers and backed it up with some of the stiffest ringwork in the indies. You want someone positioned as a legit badass? Pick this guy up.

What poster do you remind yourself of? Hmph...I'd have to go with Dames, since we're both big freestyle buffs. What poster is your best friend poster? Uh...shit, no way in hell can I pick just one, since I've met a lot of cool people on here. I'm going with the majority of those on my AIM list as people I could call a "best friend". ShooterJay probably would get the nod for now though since I've actually hung out with him. Or Superstar, since I've "adopted" him. Don't ask. The poster you admire the most? Flik, for dealing with so much personally yet still finding time to come here and give guys EWR tips, compliment on the EWR diaries, etc. Goes out of his way when all he should be doing is relaxing. The funniest poster you know? New Me. The sweetest poster you know? TSA. The sexiest poster you know? Candie45. The cutest poster you know? CC. The smartest poster you know? Concerning stuff of similar interest to myself, has to be Thomas Green (Phoenix Fury Legdrop). Great kid to talk to and a bastion of info when it comes to indy wrestling and teen shows. The nicest poster you know? Again, pretty much anyone I talk to on AIM. The stupidest poster you know? Game. The scariest poster you know? IDRM, duh. The sneakiest poster you know? EQ, for using Dames' own account against him. The poster who knows you the best? TSA, Jay, Candie or Supes The biggest pervert poster you know? New Me. The weirdest poster you know? Mario. *FAVORITES* Favorite book?: Gotti: The Rise And Fall Favorite Board game?: Monopoly Favorite Music group(s)?: Stabbing Westward, Sweet Sensation, Stevie B., O-Town (shut up) Favorite Song(s)?:.."Shame" by Stabbing Westward, "If Wishes Came True" by Sweet Sensation...right now I'm totally feeling "Baby I'm In Love" by Thalia.

Waiting on Calvin's segment with Crystal and the Lauren/Darring segment. Try to have 'em in ASAP.

Well, Mario started it...

::wanders off into sunset while a soft, acoustic guitar beat plays over the credits::

Y'know, I find it pretty funny that Game thinks I give a shit that he said I'm ugly. As if his opinion actually means something. As for being flirtatious with the girls, whether it's here or in everyday life, that's just me, it's how I've always been. Plus, I've never had any complaints so if one of them was po'd about me doing it, they'd have said something by now. It's pretty sad that Game can say CC is nice to me to give "an ugly guy a self esteem boost" when his whole reason for posting is to reassure the world, and himself, that he's gay. And he's the worst kind of gay person too. I could care less about someone's sexuality or beliefs, but when you have a gay person CONSTANTLY pounding home the fact that they are, it's a nuisance, and it annoys people. Half the time I think it's just an elaborate gimmick, or he's not comfortable with what he is. With the constant reminders, he's a hate crime waiting to happen. Oh, and by the way, the last thing I need is a self esteem boost, since my confidence borders on conceit. Now go back to conspiring a way to fuck your study buddy you nimrod.

When did I ban you? And if someone DID ban you, why make mention of it if you want to stay on the board?

I'm not a Joe fan. Decent worker, but the guy strikes me as very bland presence and personality wise. ROH is at least trying to establish him as a credible champ by having him go over guys like London, Daniels, etc. instead of showing him to be a placeholder, but I agree...there are better choices for ROH champion, IMO.

Last time I checked, Max was still in Florida, so unless RI suddenly became part of a tropical climate, they're not gonna be anywhere near here.

Nah, you're set, OSW. I fixed ya up.

I tried to do it, oldschool, but when I did it wouldn't let me edit your name. Since you wanted it capitalized, it kept telling me "a poster by this name already exists". I asked Dames about it and he said he'd see what he can do. So I did try, I just didn't post about it because I couldn't get it done at the time.

Am I the only one who thinks of a used car salesman when Mario uses that name? At any rate, it's done for you.

Agnes moved back to MA. He hasn't been around much. Last time I caught him on AIM was about 3 weeks ago. At any rate, happy birthday, if it really IS your birthday...ya lil' bastard.

Hey, Papa brought food! ::swipes lamb leg and cooks on grill.::

Sonjay will be the next breakout X Division star, IMO. He can be the next face to build the division around (unless Sabin is turning).

Only one season (like 13 eps) aired on Disney before NBC got the rights to it. Not sure if they're gonna release them in their own mini-set, or in the "flashback format" when Zack would do an introduction at the beginning of the show. I honestly don't care much for those eps, so it doesn't bug me either way. I'm just waiting for The New Class to get released. *Crosses fingers*

Only because SK edited out the fact that his post said "statan". Without it the joke meant nothing. Prick. OK, that's a good enough excuse for me. You're no longer a prick, not that you ever were... Speaking of pricks, what's up with Raz checking out Henry's dong? (waits for New Me to tell Henry to take this to the cock thread)

You're a very hostile young man. Yes, but the women love it.
