OAOAST HeldDOWN~! 10/23/03

[Zack Malibu 0]

 

OAOAST HeldDOWN~! OFFICIAL PREVIEW

 

Tonight, the HeldDOWN~! brand looks to make wrestling history yet again. From the promotion who has brought you the X Division, Glass Tables Matches, and epic Iron Man encounters comes a match with huge ramifications for those involved. Tonight, OAOAST HeldDOWN~! presents...

 

 

Three champions. Three contenders. On one side of the ring are the current champions as recognized by HeldDOWN~!

 

24/7 Champion Northstar

 

X Champion Ragdoll

 

OAOAST World Champion Calvin Szechstein

 

The three men will form a (hopefully) cohesive unit tonight, as each one is putting their title on the line. The match, scheduled as one fall to a finish, could cost one man his championship gold. The opponents?

 

Zack Malibu, Mad Matt, and the Number One Contender to the OAOAST Heavyweight Title, Crystal~!

 

With World Without End just mere days away, this match could shake up the foundation of the company. What happens if Calvin drops the World Title days before Crystal's shot? Could Mad Matt claim X Division glory before entering a brutal barbed wire match this Sunday? Or will the championship alliance maintain an edge over their challengers, and watch each other's backs to ensure that they leave the building with their gold firmly intact?

 

ALSO EXPECTED TONIGHT:

 

Newcomer Panther made an impact last week by challenging and defeating Totally Endorsed member Axel. The Dark One is none too pleased about tasting defeat, and rumors are circulating that he has more in store for the rookie tonight on HeldDOWN~!

 

Several debuts are expected tonight as well, showcasing some new faces on HeldDOWN~! that are looking to establish themselves on the OAOAST's premier brand. Those expected to be in attendance are The Mighty Damaramu, Ryan Smith, and the surly Sturgis.

 

Plus all your HeldDOWN~! favorites, and much more action in store, coming to you live and in just a short time, only on OAOAST HeldDOWN~!

OAOAST HeldDOWN~!

 

 

October 23, 2003

 

TONIGHT:

 

The road to World Without End travels through HeldDOWN~! territory, as we are days away from the PPV extravaganza. Will any of the champions remain with their belts intact after title wave? Could CWM look to screw Zack Malibu out of another potential title win to further their blood feud? Will Coach keep it in his pants for once? These questions and many more will be answered...

 

NOW~!

 

Coming to you live and in living color, but minus the Wayans family, it's the most exciting wrestling program in the world today. Now, it's off to our hosts, the men who call it like it is, whether you like it or not...

 

 

MC:"Fans, we are hear, we are live, and what a night we have in store for you on HeldDOWN~! I'm Michael Cole, and I can't hear myself think over this crowd!"

 

Coach:"Of course, I'm Jonathan Coachman, and these fans are in eager anticipation of tonight's main event. Tonight, for the first time ever, the three singles titles recognized by HeldDOWN~! will be on the line in ONE match. Tim Moysey has put together a show stealer with that contest, and I for one cannot wait to see what happens."

 

MC:"The fact that Crystal is in it just furthers your opinion of that matchup now, doesn't it?"

 

Coach:"Hey, I want my girl to win. With just three days until she meets Calvin Szechstein one on one, she might wind up with his belt around her waist tonight. Even better, she could defeat either Northstar or Ragdoll tonight, defeat Calvin on Sunday, and be a dual champion!"

 

MC:"That'd be great for the female demographic for sure. There are so many possibilities going into that match. Can Zack Malibu regain the World Title he lost two months ago? Mad Matt...can he take the X Title away from the man who has held it with an iron grip? So many questions, and they'll be answered later tonight."

 

Coach:"Can't forget everything else we have in store either, MC!"

 

MC:"Not at all. We've got some amazing matchups lined up for you tonight. Several debuts are taking place tonight, including newcomer AJ Flaire taking on Totally Endorsed's Sly Somers. I know Panther is here, as is Axel, and just one week into his tenure here Panther has managed to draw the ire of the dark one. So much is shaping up on our brand, it's hard to keep track, but it definitely keeps the fans entertained. So while they seem to be ready, Coach, are you ready?"

 

Coach:"I'm ready baby!"

 

MC:"Here we go fans, another round of HeldDOWN~! is coming your way NOW~!"

[Zack Malibu 0]

The OU fight song booms over the arena speakers as Ryan Smith comes out to a resounding chorus of cheers.

 

Coach:"Man, Ryan Smith damn near gave me a heart attack. I thought that old fogie got traded to our brand or something?"

 

MC:"Who would we trade to get him?"

 

Coach:"I dunno...janitor maybe?"

 

Smith walks to the ring with a look of hard determination not even slapping the fans hands as most babyfaces would do. He enters the ring and grabs the microphone

 

RS: "Now I know many of you have heard that Damaramu is set to debut any day right here on HeldDown! Yeah and you're probably asking yourself "Who's this guy!?" And on the flipside many of you may recognize me as Ryan Smith! The greatest amateur wrestler to ever grace the squared circle!"

 

*a large group of fans cheer in recognition*

 

MC:"Ryan Smith with some fans here in attendance tonight."

 

RS: "Now I know all of you know who Damaramu is! Yeah that cocky punk from New Japan Pro Wrestling. Yeah well he couldn't hack it in Japan so he's come to America to try and make it! Well I got news for you Dama...I'm 10 times meaner and 10 times tougher than any Japanese wrestler you'll ever run into! And if you think all of that stuff that happened in college is water under the bridge....oh boy do you have another thing coming.....now I'm here for one re..."

 

*Ryan Smith is cut off as the opening drum beats from Dropkick Murphy's "The Worker's Song" hits*

 

Smith softly, though audibly, mutters "Oh this is rich.......come on!" into the microphone. Some fans may not recognize who's coming out, but he does.

 

Ryan Smith drops the microphone and squats down waiting for Damaramu to head to the ring....however while watching the entrance he doesn't notice Dama sneaking through the crowd. The fans pop big in recognition of the former Japanese superstar but it turns to a chorus of boo's as he makes his intentions known by entering the ring behind Ryan Smith

 

Having dropped the mic, Ryan's words cannot be heard by anyone, but he looks to be calling on his old rival, whom he has not noticed is in the ring.

 

RS: "Come on! Where are you!?"

 

In a quick flash, Dama catches Ryan from behind with a waistlock and nails a hard german suplex. Ryan is caught off guard as Dama ends up on top of him with some hard elbows crashing into the back of Smith's neck. Dama stands up as Smith lays in pain and grabs the microphone!

 

Dama: "I have arrived! And nobody is going to stop me from taking over this entire federation and takiing the OAOAST championship back to NJPW! This place is merely a stepping stone for my rise to greatness. And Ryan Smith....you're the first little piece of stone that I'm going to step on. Now why don't you get up and fight me? I SAID GET UP AND FIGHT ME!"

 

Dama drops the microphone and stands behind Ryan Smith waiting for him to stand. Smith comes to his feet stumbling backwards towards Dama. Dama catches Smith and drapes him over his shoulders in a reverse DVD style. Dama screams and drops Smith with the Burning Hammer. Smith hits the ground hard as his neck is jarred on Dama's shoulder. He starts to clutch at his neck but slowly slips into unconciousness.

 

MC:"He could have broken his neck!"

 

Coach:"Actually, I think he was aiming to do that!"

 

Dama: "Let this be a lesson to anybody that wants to fight me! And as for you Smith...I'll see you in the ring next week."

 

Dama's music hits as he points at the camera with a stoic look on his face. He looks at the booing fans and then slides out of the ring and slowly walks up the aisle, ignoring all the booing fans. The cameras zoom in on this new force, his scowl and stare piercing through anyone who looks at him. Dama disappears through the curtain, and once he's out of view the camera fades, taking us to our first commercial break.

[Zack Malibu 0]

Coach:"Man, I'm STILL cringing after that Burning Hammer."

 

MC:"Gonna use it as an excuse to get a massage from one of the females, eh Coach?"

 

Coach:"I...no...HOW DID YOU KNOW?"

 

MC:"You make it too easy. Fans, last week, an impressive newcomer by the name of Panther answered Axel's challenge to a No Holds Barred contest, and shocked us all by getting the win over The Dark One. It's no secret that Axel has not been happy as of late, and we take you now to the Totally Endorsed locker room, where Axel has been spotted with Colvid. Hopefully our cameras can pick something up on what Axel has in store for Panther here tonight."

 

We see Axel and Colvid talking in the Totally Endorsed locker room. They look like they are arguing. The camera moves in closer, trying to pick up the conversation.

 

Colvid: "How in the hell could you let him beat you like that last week? He’s a new guy!"

 

Axel: "Don’t piss me off tonight Colvid. I’m in the worst mood possible. Anyway, I made sure that Panther has a good lead up to his match with me this Sunday at World Without End."

 

Colvid: "Oh yeah? How are you going to do that?"

 

Axel: "Well Colvid, I hand picked Panthers opponent for tonight."

 

Colvid: "Who is it man?"

 

Axel: "Well, he and I have had a bit of a history, but now that’s sorted, and he’s back from his hiatus."

 

Colvid: "But who is it man?"

 

Axel: "Well, if you really want to know…"

 

*Axel notices the camera and turns toward it quickly*

 

Axel (to cameraman): "Hey! What in the hell do you think you are doing? Have you ever heard of a private conversation?"

 

*The camera goes backward quickly, and starts to turn around*

 

Axel: "No! Stay here, I’ve got something to say."

 

*Camera turns back around to Axel. Colvid is out of the shot*

 

Axel: "Panther, last week you took me by surprise. You needed your little bitch to get involved to beat me. Last week, I wanted to make a statement that I was going to be the most feared wrestler in the OAOAST. I wanted to make an impression, but you had to go and ruin it for me. You and your little bitch."

 

Axel grunts, and continues...

 

"Well, this Sunday, I get my revenge. Panther, at World Without End, its No Holes Barred. That means I can do what ever I can think of to you, and nobody can do a thing. Not the ref, not the officials, not even Moysey. I want to hurt you. I want to maim you. I want to make sure that you wish you had never accepted my challenge in the first place. And if your bitch gets involved, I’ll make sure she gets what’s coming to her too.

 

Panther, tonight, the pain begins. As you may have heard, I have picked your opponent for tonight. It will be a surprise to you, and it will be just a taste of what is coming this Sunday. Panther, you will feel the pain, taste the pain, and when it’s all said and done, I will make you like the fuckin’ pain."

 

*Axel rolls his eyes up in the back of his head and pushes the camera away*

 

Cole: "Damn, Axel is really pissed off. But who could be Panthers opponent tonight?"

 

Coach: "I don’t know Cole, but whoever it is, it looks like Axel is going to make sure it's a tough night for Panther."

 

Cole: "We'll find out soon enough, as that match is set to take place after this break. Panther debuted as a mystery opponent last week, and now faces one of his own. When we come back we'll find out exactly whom Axel has chosen, so stay with us!"

[Zack Malibu 0]

MC: "We're back, fans, and we are ready to go to the ring. Panther has been warming up backstage, and neither you or I have seen anyone that didn't belong here, so I'm at a loss for who it could be."

 

Coach: "I know how we'll find out..."

 

MC: "How?"

 

Coach: "Let's go to the ring!"

 

(The lights in the arena dim as "State Prop (You Know Us)" by State Property starts up. After a few moments, pyro explodes at the top of the entrance way, as red and white strobe lights flash around the arena. The lights shine down at the entrance way, as Panther, and his manager, Tina, appear, and begin to make their way to the ring. Panther hops up onto the ring apron, as Tina walks to the steel steps, and slowly climbs up them onto the apron. Panther and Tina step into the ring, where Panther poses in the middle of the ring, before giving a quick snap of his fingers, and pyro explodes from all four ring posts. The lights dim back up, as Tina steps through the ring ropes, and to the outside of the ring, and Panther looks towards the entrance, waiting for his opponent.)

 

Michael Cole: I can't wait to see who it is!

 

(After a couple seconds to build the anticipation, "Breathe" by Prodigy starts up. As the fans stand around confuse, Axel makes his way out, stopping short of the end of the entranceway, holding a microphone in his hand.)

 

Coach: Axel is the mystery opponent? It can't be! These two will meet at World Without End!

 

Michael Cole: Are we going to get a preview of the No Holds Barred match at WWE!

 

(Axel starts to wave his hand at the crowd, signaling for them to be quiet.)

 

Axel: Now, calm down. I know what you are thinking. And like always, you are wrong. I am not Panther's mystery opponent for tonight. But, let me tell you a little something about this guy. See, I had to pick the biggest, baddest, meanest mother fucker out there, to take care of that little prick in the ring, Panther. Now, I am sure that you will all be surprised by who I picked, and I'm sure a lot of you will be asking the same question. "Why Axel? Why would you unleash this beast in the OAOAST?" And before you can ask me that, I'll give you the answer. The answer is, that Panther, deserves to be put in the ring with this monster. Panther, after you wake up from the beating you will receive, just remember. YOU DESERVED IT! Ladies and Gentleman, I introduce to you...

 

(A cold, dark voice begins to speak over the loud speakers, as smoke begins to cover the entrance way.)

 

 

"Come on God, Answer Me.

 

For Years, I've Been Asking You Why?

 

Why are the Innocent Dead and the Guilty Alive?

 

Where is Justice? Where is Punishment?

 

 

 

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

 

 

 

Or Have You Already Answered?

 

Have You Already Said to the World,

 

Here is Justice. Here is Punishment.

 

 

Here....

 

 

 

 

 

In Me."

 

 

("Punishment" by BIOHAZARD starts up, as "Good Ol EC'Dub" Rick Heyross, walks out first, followed by "The Current Big Thing" Brock Ausstin.

 

Coach: IT'S BROCK AUSSTIN! NOOOOOOO!

 

Michael Cole: HE'S BACK?? OH GOD NO!

 

Coach: This is NOT a good thing, for ANYBODY on Helddown!, or in the OAOAST for that matter!

 

Michael Cole: I thought we got rid of this monster months ago! Why did Axel bring him back? HOW CAN HE DO THIS TO US?

 

(Axel has a big grin on his face, as Panther stands in the ring, shocked, the same as the audience around the arena. Brock stops at the top of the ramp, and starts doing his "Happy Happy Hoss Dance~!" Brock and Heyross continue their way down to the ring, walking straight pass Axel. The crowd starts booing like mad, remembering the monster that Brock was, and how he destroyed everybody in his way. Brock and Rick make it to the ring, as Heyross walks up the steel steps into the ring, as Brock leaps onto the ring apron from the floor. Brock gives a sick smile towards Panther, as he steps through the ropes into the ring. Panther quickly charges at Brock, and begins unleashing wild rights and lefts, but Brock just shoves Panther backwards into the mat. Panther quickly jumps up to his feet, and charges at Brock again, throwing right and left punches at his head, but again, Brock just pushes him backwards to the mat. Panther, again gets to his feet, and instead of going at Brock with punches, he charges backwards into the ropes. Panther bounces off the ropes, and heads full steam at Brock, but the force of gravity smashes into Panther with a shoulder block, knocking Panther down into the mat, with the back of his head making a sick *SMACK* sound.)

 

Coach: Did you see the impact of Panther's head and the mat? Oh my God!

 

Michael Cole: Brock is a monster! Brock is also still undefeated in action in the OAOAST since his debut several months ago!

 

(Brock leans over, grabbing Panther by the hair, and quickly pulls him up to his feet. But Panther starts to unleash rights and lefts into Brock's rib cage! Panther gets free of Brock's grasp, and charges backwards into the ropes once again. Panther bounces off the ropes, and charges again towards Brock, but Brock drives his giant arm into the chest of Panther, flipping Panther inside out!!)

 

Michael Cole: CLOTHESLINE OF MASS DESTRUCTION!!

 

Coach: The force of that clothesline turned Panther inside out!

 

(The camera cuts over to Axel, who is slowly walking to the ring, with a big smile on his face. On the outside of the ring, Tina begins slapping her hands against the ring apron, trying to get the crowd behind Panther. Brock grabs Panther by his hair, and calmly pulls him up to his feet. Brock steps back, with a playful smile as Panther wobbles back and forth, nearly falling forward onto the Current Big Thing. Brock, ending his play time, grabs Panther around the waist, and tosses him backwards, with a Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex!)

 

Michael Cole: Hossly Goodness! The Overhead Belly to Belly Suplex by the Six Foot-Four Inch, Three Hundred and Twenty Pound monster, known as Brock Ausstin!!

 

Coach: So far, Brock has been destroying Panther. Even playing around with him! I got to give credit to Axel, he knew what he was doing!

 

Michael Cole: Yeah, but at what price? Axel doesn't realize the pain and agony he has unleashed in the OAOAST!

 

(On the outside of the ring, Rick Heyross starts screaming at Brock to finish Panther off. Brock, taking the advice of his agent, grabs Panther by his head, and aggressively pulls him up to his feet. Brock easily lifts the near Two Hundred pounder up onto his shoulders in a Death Valley Driver position!)

 

Coach: F-STUNNER-5! F-STUNNER-5 IS ON IT'S WAY!

 

Michael Cole: NO ONE has ever kicked out of the F-Stunner-5!

 

(Brock stumbles backwards, but keeps his balance, when TINA GRABS BROCKS BOOT FROM OUTSIDE THE RING! Tina struggles to trip Brock, but he is just too big for her! Brock drops Panther down onto the mat, and turns towards Tina, who is still trying to pull him down!)

 

Coach: Tina just stopped the F-Stunner-5! Tina just saved Panther!

 

("Good Ol' ECDub" Rick Heyross runs around ringside, and grabs Tina around the waist, pulling her off of Brock! Tina pushes Rick back, forcing him to break the hold. Tina leans back, and SMASHES her foot into Rick Heyross' crotch!!!!)

 

Michael Cole: LOW BLOW FROM TINA!

 

Coach: Ohhh! That's going to ruin some of Rick Heyross' plans!

 

(Rick Heyross holds his testicles, and falls face first to the floor, as Tina stands celebrating. But her celebration is stop short, as Brock leans over the top rope, and grabs Tina by her hair! Brock pulls Tina up onto the apron, looking at her face to face! Tina lets out a blood curdling scream, as Brock just starts yelling at her!)

 

Coach: LET HER GO BROCK!

 

Michael Cole: Someone help Tina!

 

(The referee tries to get in between Tina and Brock, but that is no help. The referee pulls on Brock's giant arm, but he won't let go. Brock leans back to strike Tina....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHEN PANTHER COMES FROM BEHIND WITH A LOW BLOW! THE CROWD EXPLODES IN CHEERS AS BROCK LETS GO OF TINA, AND GRABS HIS GROIN!)

 

Michael Cole: LOW BLOW TO BROCK! LOW BLOW TO BROCK!

 

Coach: Panther with the cheap shot to save his girlfriend!

 

Michael Cole: Brock was about to hit Tina, when Panther came to the save with a low blow!

 

(Brock slowly turns around, still holding his groin, as Panther leaps into the air, and nails Brock in the face with a standing dropkick, that knocks them both to the ground! Panther gets up to his feet, and falls backwards into the corner. Brock, still feeling the effects of the low blow, stumbles up to his feet. Panther climbs up to the middle rope, and leaps off, grabbing Brock by the back of his head, and drives Brock head first into the mat with a Bulldog!)

 

Michael Cole: Middle Rope Bulldog!

 

Coach: PIN HIM PANTHER! MAKE IT TWO WINS IN A ROW! YOU CAN DO IT KID!

 

(Panther quickly flips Brock over onto his back, and struggles to pull Brock's leg up for the pin!)

 

 

ONE!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TWO!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Brock throws Panther off of him, and over the referee!)

 

Coach: Panther almost had the pin! Come on Kid, you can do it! Beat Brock Ausstin and send him back to where he was hiding!

 

(Panther, stunned by the power of Brock, quickly gets up to his feet. Brock stumbles up to his feet, and stumbles towards Panther, who lifts him up over his shoulders, and drops backwards with a Samoan Drop!! Not wasting any time, Panther quickly jumps up to his feet, and heads towards the ropes. Panther steps through the middle and top rope, and walks over to the corner. Panther signals that he is going to the top rope, and the crowd cheers, firmly behind the rookie. Panther climbs up to the top rope, and positions himself, before leaping off, and driving a big elbow into the chest area of Brock Ausstin!!!!)

 

Michael Cole: Top Rope Elbow Drop to Brock Ausstin! Shade's of Shawn Michaels!

 

Coach: Go for the pin!

 

(Instead of listening to Coach, Panther makes the rookie mistake, and gets up to his feet. Panther starts jumping up and down, getting the crowd pumped for what's to come next. Panther walks into the corner, and starts to stomp his foot on the ground, ala Shawn Michaels, setting up for a superkick!)

 

Michael Cole: Panther is going for Shawn Michael's old finishing maneuver, The Sweet Chin Music Superkick!

 

Coach: If he hits this superkick, it could be over!

 

(Panther continues stomping his foot on the ground, as Brock slowly rolls onto his stomach, and begins to make his way to his feet. Brock finally get's to a full standing position, as Panther charges at him. Panther throws his boot into the air, aiming for Brock's jaw, but Brock catches the superkick in midmotion!!! Brock spins Panther around, and goes for a second CLOTHESLINE OF MASS DESTRUCTION, but Panther ducks under it! Panther runs full speed into the corner, and leaps up onto the middle rope. Panther springboards backwards off the middle rope, going for a cross body block, but Brock catches him in mid-air! Brock, using his strength, easily tosses Panther up onto his shoulders in a Death Valley Driver position!!!!)

 

Coach: Brock is going for the F-Stunner-5 again! If he hits this, it is all over!

 

Michael Cole: Say good night to Panther!

 

(Brock goes to spin Panther off his shoulders for the F-Stunner-5, but Panther is able to squeeze out of it, and fall behind Brock, landing on his feet. Panther quickly turns Brock around to face him, and with a quick wrap around Brock's head, Panther drops down, driving Brock face first into the mat with a Panther Cutter!!!!!)

 

Michael Cole: Panther Cutter! It's all over! Brock is out cold!

 

Coach: GET THE PIN PANTHER! GET THE PIN!

 

(Panther turns Brock over onto his back, and goes to lean over for the pin! But before he can, he looks to the outside of the ring, as Axel now has his arm around Tina's throat, and is pulling her towards the back area with him. Panther quickly gets to his feet, and nearly jumps out of the ring, yelling at Axel to let her go.)

 

Coach: Why is Axel doing this to Tina? She never did anything to him!

 

Michael Cole: She did cost him the match last week.

 

Coach: All right, she did do that. But what else has she done?

 

(Though, without hesitation, Axel throws Tina down to the floor, and holds his hands in the air, showing Panther he let her go. Panther continues to yell at Axel, as Brock kips up behind Panther! Panther turns his attention away from Axel, and back to Brock, but it's too late, as Brock quickly lifts Panther up onto his shoulders, Death Valley Driver style. Brock walks into the center of the ring, and turns towards the main camera, and gives out a loud half roar-half scream, as he spins Panther off his shoulders, and drives Panther face first into the mat with the F-Stunner-5!!!!! Panther lays on the mat, motionless, as Brock turns him over onto his back, and hooks the leg for the pin!!)

 

 

ONE!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TWO!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THREE!!!!!

 

 

Coach: And this match is over!

 

Michael Cole: "The Current Big Thing" Brock Ausstin returns to Helddown! after a three month absence, thanks to Axel. And in return, Brock destroys Panther, the man Axel will face at World Without End, defeating Panther with the dreaded F-Stunner-5!

 

 

Winner: "The Current Big Thing" Brock Ausstin via F-Stunner-5

 

 

("Punishment" by BIOHAZARD starts up, as Brock gets up to his feet, and lets out another yell, this time in victory. On the outside of the ring, Axel grabs Tina by the back of her hair, and throws her into the steel steps!)

 

Coach: Look what Axel is doing! Now that Panther is out cold, he is attacking Tina!

 

(Brock hops out of the ring, followed by Rick Heyross, as they begin to make their way to the back, with their job finished. Axel lifts up the ring apron, and looks under the ring. After a few moments, Axel pulls out a table! Axel lifts the table, and slides into the ring. Axel turns back towards Tina, and grabs her by her hair, pulling her to her feet, and tossing her into the ring.)

 

Michael Cole: What is Axel doing? Come on! Stop it!

 

(Axel slides into the ring, right after Tina, and gives her a quick boot to the stomach, knocking her down onto the mat, causing the crowd to start a chorus of boos at Axel. Axel turns back to the table, and quickly unhooks the legs, and sets it up to a standing position. Axel walks around the table, and grabs Panther by his hair, and pulls the lifeless rookie up to his feet. Axel drags Panther over to the table, and lays him down on it.)

 

Coach: What is Axel doing?

 

(Axel walks back over to Tina, who is on her hands and knee's, nearly crying in pain. Axel grabs Tina by her hair, and pulls her up to her feet. She starts screaming, and clawing at Axel, trying to get away. Axel aggressively pulls her in between his legs, and wraps his arms around her waist. Quickly pulling her into the air, AXEL DRIVES TINA INTO THE CHEST OF PANTHER WITH A POWERBOMB, PUTTING BOTH OF THEM THROUGH THE TABLE!!!!!)

 

Michael Cole: OH MY GOD! NO!

 

Coach: AXEL JUST POWERBOMBED TINA THROUGH PANTHER THROUGH THAT TABLE!

 

Michael Cole: They are both out cold!

 

(Axel hovers over the fallen Panther and Tina, with a smile on his face, as "Breathe" by Prodigy starts up again. Axel poses for the crowd, as they continue to boo him, before stepping through the ropes, and begins to make his way to the back. Medics rush into the ring, and check on Panther and Tina, as OAOAST Helddown! fades to a commercial.)

[Zack Malibu 0]

We return to HeldDOWN~!, as trainers are tending to both Tina and Panther backstage.

 

MC:"Fans, what we saw before the break was horrendous. Brock Ausstin made his...hey...HEY, get him out of there!"

 

Cole is making reference to Ausstin walking backstage, noticing the damage he did, and inching closer to Tina and Panther's fallen bodies. Security and medics block his path, but Brock growls angrily, until CHARLIE HOSS~! steps by everybody and in his path. Brock stares down at Charlie, who's not flinching in the least, before turning away and heading for the showers.

 

MC:"Phew, thank goodness for Charlie Hoss there. Now...now what is that?"

 

Still backstage, Cole is talking about the screaming coming from nearby. The camera pans down the hall to see CWM trashing the hallway and kicking in doors, screaming "Tim", no doubt looking for HeldDOWN~! General Manager Tim Moysey.

 

CWM:"TIM! Get out here you sorry sack of..."

 

CWM comes to the end of the hallway and turns the corner, coming face to face with the man fans have dubbed "GM TM".

 

TM:"To what do I owe the pleasure, CWM?"

 

CWM:"Pleasure my ass, it's never been a pleasure dealing with you, in the ring or out of it. What's the deal, Moysey. You don't wanna book me anymore?"

 

TM:"Not true, you've got a pay per view match this Sunday, don't you?"

 

CWM:"Screw the PPV, Moysey, I mean tonight. I went weeks with that punk bitch Malibu screwing me out of winning the 24/7 Title, but you put HIM in the Title Wave match instead of me? Hell, you didn't even put me on the show!"

 

TM:"You've pretty much answered your own question, CWM. I did put Zack in the Title Wave match, and I did NOT book you to be here tonight. I know how you think, and I was not about to have a historical matchup ruined by you holding a grudge and getting antsy and jumping in that ring."

 

CWM:"So what you're saying is Zack's afraid of me, huh?"

 

TM:"I'm saying that I'm doing my best to keep you two apart before you kill each other."

 

CWM:"If it's any consolation, I plan on doing it slowly. Who knows, you might have time to save him."

 

TM:"Funny. You're a funny guy, CWM. However, you're not getting at Zack tonight. You've got him in three days, and since there is no way in hell that match would hold up under normal regulations, I've tweaked it a bit?"

 

CWM:"Tweaked it? Tweaked it how?"

 

TM:"You don't want a match, CWM, let's face it. Neither does Zack. You want a fight."

 

CWM:"Damn right."

 

TM:"So, now that we've agreed on something, I'll see you at World Without End, where you'll have a Street Fight with Zack Malibu!"

 

CWM sneers, then smiles.

 

CWM:"You just signed his death certificate."

 

TM:"You make it sound so easy, when you know it won't be. Now, I've got an important show to run tonight, so are we done here?"

 

CWM:"We're done."

 

TM:"Thank you. Charlie..."

 

Tim walks away, and Charlie Hoss comes over, staring down CWM. CWM looks like he's ready to pop Hoss one, but thinks better of it and just laughs, then walks away. CWM kicks open one of the exit doors to the arena and disappears out of it, while Hoss makes sure he's left for good.

 

 

Elsewhere backstage...

 

 

(We see Sly Summers in the Totally Endorsed locker room, lacing up his loafers. He hears a knock on the door, gets up, and answers the door. It's newcomer AJ Flaire.)

 

Sly: "Listen, we got the satellite hooked up in the back just fine. I got some chicks in the hot tub, watching the Disney Channel right now. Thanks, but there's no way I'm giving you a tip. That's Calvin's job."

 

AJ: "No, no...Tim Moysey asked me to tell you that you're booked in a match tonight."

 

Sly: "Wow, they finally decide to utilize the most underappreciated man on this roster. The Internet will love this. They probably should have told me before I changed into these shoes. Who does "Fem" Moysey want me to beat this time? Another chick? Another delusional retarded big guy? He'll probably put me with a monkey this time, since those types love to see me be goofy."

 

AJ: "Actually, you're booked against me."

 

Sly: "Really? Finally, someone who actually seems like they're a serious threat. Oh, wait, you've been here, what, one week?"

 

AJ: "Yeah, this is my first match here."

 

Sly: "You excited?"

 

AJ: "Yeah, for sure."

 

Sly: "Well, wait here a second; Totally Endorsed usually give out a special gift to all you new rookie types.... (goes to the back of the room, comes back with a giant, manilla envelope....and whacks AJ across the skull with it, knocking him out cold.) Hey, I remember this kid from some tape I saw. Guess he's "just phenomonal". (chuckles and pulls out a piece of sheet metal from the envelope)."

 

MC:"That dirty little...fans, when we come back, you're not going to want to miss it. AJ Flaire makes his in-ring debut against Sly Somers. This one is already heating up backstage, and they'll take it to the ring NEXT!"

[Zack Malibu 0]

Sly comes out, out of tune with his usual entrance, and asks the sound guy to cut his music off and play something else. So the sound guy plays a random production song as Sly paces to the ring, where he then steps out of his modified maroon-and-grey suit to reveal a maroon singlet and white boots with maroon kickpads.

 

MC: "Interesting to note here is that, since his debut in HeldDOWN~!, especially in his couple of weeks of absence, Sly has really bulked up. He's added a bunch of muscle to his frame, going from his debut weight of around 160 pounds, to weighing around 210 pounds. He's also looking a bit taller, barely under, if not just at 6'."

 

COACH: "That might be because he's wearing lifts."

 

MC: "You're not supposed to say that on the air!"

 

"Man in the Box" then starts, and out comes the debuting AJ Flaire, sporting a bandage above his right eye because of the earlier attack with the piece of metal from Sly. Both men stare each other down in mid-ring, then begrudingly slap hands.

 

The match starts with a collar-and-elbow tie-up, which ends with Sly powering AJ into the corner, and palm-thrusting his cut. Sly backs off, and they get into another collar-and-elbow tie-up mid-ring. This time, AJ gets Sly into the opposite corner, and slaps the taste out of his mouth. AJ backs up a few steps, and Sly charges at him. AJ connects with a deep armdrag, into an armbar. But, Sly quickly scrambles to the ropes. AJ gives him a clean break, and they both go to opposite sides of the ring before they knock horns again. Sly goes for another collar-and-elbow tie-up, but AJ goes down and behind for a waistlock, followed by a trip, into a front-face takedown. AJ then jumps over and locks in a grounded front chancery, with the left arm, which he applied the armbar to earlier, hooked. He then gets on his knees, and switches into a reverse hammerlock. Sly then swithces to a seated position, and uses his free arm to grab AJ's neck. Sly bridges to his feet, and AJ comes up with him. Sly tries a snapmare, but he can't get AJ over due to the hammerlock. So, he reverses the hammerlock with a reverse hammerlock of his own. But, AJ bends down and picks Sly's leg to take him down. He keeps ahold of the leg, and turns Sly onto his stomach. He quickly slides over and grabs the arm for another sitting armbar. Sly gets to the bottom rope, and slides to the outside. Sly then starts kicking the guardrail and yelling in frustration.

 

MC: "So far, the youngster's surprised Sly with his depth of submission manuevers."

 

COACH: "Sly should be happy his arm isn't twisted in 243 different ways after that clinic!"

 

Sly slides back into the ring, and they go for a collar-and-elbow tieup yet again. But, this time, Sly fakes and connectes with an eyerake. He then snapmares AJ over, and rips off AJ's bandage. He follows by maniacally scratching into the cut. The cut starts bleeding profusely, as Sly connects with rapid-fire punches into the cut. Sly's entire hand is now covered in blood, and he rubs it all over the referee.

 

MC: "This is one of the most disgusting things I've seen happen in a straight wrestling match! Now guy-on-guy mud wrestling, that's a different story..."

 

COACH: "You watch that stuff too?"

 

MC: "Yea...I mean, no."

 

COACH: "Oh, neither do I." (followed by an uncomfortable silence)

 

Sly pulls AJ to his feet, and whips him to the ropes. Sly connects with a jumping heel kick to the face. Sly then nails a kneedrop, pinpoint onto the cut. He then turns AJ over, and starts to rub the cut into the mat, almost as if he's attempting a severe rugburn. The referee then jumps on Sly and pulls him off of AJ. The referee then temporarily stops the match, and calls in the in-house doctor to check out the now-gigantic gash on AJ's forehead. Sly argues with fans as the doctor is checking over the cut. The doctor asks the referee to stop the match, but AJ grabs both the referee and the doctor by the collar of their shirts, and yells at them, "I'm gonna (bleep)in' finish this damn match!"

 

MC: "Apparantly, AJ Flaire is making one of the bravest decisions he's maybe ever had to make in his life, and continue a match he's been losing here, with a cut on his forehead the size of the part in the Red Sea!"

 

COACH: "I gotta say, this young man has some humongous balls!"

 

MC: "Crystal tell you so?"

 

COACH: "Shut up!"

 

The referee then instructs AJ to go back to his corner, and, after the doctor leaves the ring, the referee re-starts the match. They meet mid-ring, and trade punches to the face. Back-and-forth they go, until AJ gets the upper hand with a series of deafening, stinging chops. He whips Sly to the ropes, and connects with a picture-perfect dropkick. AJ pops up, waits for Sly, then chops Sly back into the corner. AJ then goes to the opposite corner, and runs at Sly. But, Sly exits the corner, and drop-toe-holds AJ face-first into the middle turnbuckle. Blood literally flies from AJ's forehead, onto the camera lens. Sly sits on the top rope, and signals for a tornado DDT. But, AJ slips out and headbutts Sly in the groin instead. AJ then takes a few steps back, runs at the corner, and connects with his shining-wizard like move known simply as Elegance!

 

MC: "He courageously hit such a high-risk move while so hurt....and with elegance!"

 

AJ goes for the cover, but the referee won't let him because he knocked Sly so far that he's half-way out of the ring. AJ pulls him back into the ring, and pulls him up. AJ then signals for Good Taste (the Styles Clash). He positions Sly between his legs, but Sly dips down, and nails a nut shot. After being warned by the ref that one more would result in disqualification, he connects with the Bob Saget Deluxe Special! Sly drapes his arm over a battered-and-bloodied Flaire.....1....2....kickout! Sly can't believe his eyes, and the crowd reacts to such an amazing site! Sly pulls AJ up, and whips him to the ropes. He hooks AJ's neck on the way back, dips him down, and nails the reverse headlock Flatliner! He rolls through into the rear naked choke, and completes the Better Than Ezra!

 

MC: "This match has to finish here! Sly's not only choking the life out of AJ, he's also applying pressure to the brain, therefore sending more blood out of it to flow out of the giant cut that's already hampered AJ so badly thus far!"

 

Sly squeezes the choke as hard as he can, and the referee begins to raise AJ's arm for the proverbial passout three-count. The hand goes up once.....and comes back down. The hand goes up a second time....and comes back down! The hand goes up a third time....but AJ somehow, someway keeps it in the air! The crowd reacts yet again, as they know how gutsy of a performance AJ is putting on! Sly then switches the move to a chinlock, then sits down on the base of AJ's back and pulls upward, therefore turning the move into a camel clutch. After almost thirty seconds, AJ is still refusing to submit! AJ then starts working on the motivation of the cheers of the crowd, and works his way to his knees. Sly can't believe what's happening! AJ grabs Sly's legs, and begins to get to his feet and pick Sly up. AJ then falls backwards and drops Sal piggy-back style.

 

COACH: "AGAIN! This kid just does NOT know the meaning of "surrender"!"

 

The referee starts to count down as both men try to get to their feet....1!....2!......3!.....4!.....5!.....6!....7!...AJ is on one knee, as Sly's pulling himself up with the ropes.....8!...Sly runs over and kicks AJ in the face. Sly then pulls AJ up, but AJ reverses the Irish whip, and pulls Sly directly into his patented rolling vertical suplexes! After the third one, AJ can't find the strength to pick Sly up for a fourth one, so he instead performs a small package...1....2....kickout! AJ's shocked, as are the crowd!

 

MC: "As much as we're putting over AJ's courageous performance, we must say that Sly's pretty tough himself, to kick out of a move that AJ has perfected for quite a while on the indies, and has even won titles with!"

 

AJ then tries to lock in a standing armbar, but Sly reverses so that he's behind AJ, and he attempts the USA High Angle Backdrop! But, AJ flips onto his feet, and connects with a Dangerous Back Suplex of his own! After laying on the mat for over ten seconds due to flat-out exhaustion, then throws his body over Sly's for a pin....1....2.....another kickout! Neither man moves for seconds, but then they both struggle to their feet. AJ puts Sly in a double-underhook, going for a Tiger Driver. But, Sly twists out, keeps ahold of AJ's hand, pulls him in, and hits the USA High Angle Backdrop from an inverted side position!

 

COACH: "Sly pulls off one of his patented manuevers out of nowhere!"

 

MC: "I must ask, where is either man getting the energy from?!?"

 

Sly gets up, but instead of going for the obvious cover, he gets cocky and pulls AJ to his feet, whips him to the ropes. AJ ducks a clothesline just by instinct, comes back around, and turns a Sly clothesline into the Fujiwara armbar! Sly just about taps, but then his companion Eddie "Donkeylips" Gelfman comes out to distract the ref. AJ makes the youthful mistake of breaking the hold to knock Gelfman off the apron with a Yakuza kick.

 

MC: "AJ just "saluted his shorts"!"

 

He turns around and gets met with a dropkick by Sly. Sly goes for the cover...1...2...kickout! Sly gets mad for a second, then pulls the youngster up. Sly then goes for a DDT. But, AJ twists out, and pulls Sly into a kick to the stomach. AJ takes too much time tiredly positioning Sly between his legs, then goes for "That's Phenomonal" (Cradle Piledriver). But, Sly knew what was coming due to AJ having to take so much time due to exhaustion, and blocked the move. Sly then picks up AJ in an Alabamaslam-position, and drops AJ neck-first, onto his knee. Sly stands up with him in the position, and tries to go for some sort of move, but AJ slides out and hits a sunset flip! 1...2....Sly rolls out, but AJ falls onto his back before Sly can kick him in the face. AJ, going on pure adreneline at this point, comes to his feet, and nails Sly in the face. Sly goes down, but comes back up and gets another punch to the face that sends him down. AJ pulls him up and goes for the Irish whip. But AJ telegraphed a backdrop too much by bending down, and Sly kicks him in the face. Sly follows up with a stiff superkick to the jaw.

 

COACH: "Sly usually doesn't use that move, but due to the mere velocity of the kick and the exhaustion and pain that AJ must be feeling by now, Sly can probably pin him here if he wants to!"

 

Sly, however, pulls AJ up, and signals for a powerbomb. Sly picks AJ up for it, but AJ lands on his feet and connects on a kick to the stomach. AJ then puts Sly in between his legs, picks him up, and nails the Good Taste (Styles Clash)! We think AJ's making a mistake by not going for the cover, but instead, he goes up top and nails the Extra Special (Twisting 450)! AJ goes for the cover...1...2...3! AJ Flaire wins the match!

 

MC: "My lord....we have just witnessed the future of this company, and his name is AJ Flaire! This young man, in the name of putting on an amazing performance for you paying fans, has bled a proverbial ocean, denied getting medical help for the sake of his own safety, and came back from a beyond-dirty attack by a shifty young fellow named Sly Sommers to hit a jaw-droppingly amazing move to score his first victory here on Helddown!"

 

COACH: "I agree. If AJ can pull off this type of performance every night, there's no doubt in my mind he'll soon be wearing championship gold here in the OAOAST!"

 

(As AJ struggles to the back, Sly exits the ring, heads to the announce booth, and grabs the house mic.)

 

SLY: "Hey, you...hey, dumbass! (AJ turns around) Yeah, you! Listen, you piece of crap, tonight was a fluke! You had your big night. You had your lucky win. You had your huge debut. But, come this Sunday night, I'll bring you back down to Earth. You see, I hang out with the World Champ, Calvin Szechstein. That means, if I want something around here, all I have to do is go to my good friend, and ask for it. Then he'll use his stroke around here to get me what I want. So, when this segment ends, I'm going to go backstage and address my good buddy, the Champ, and ask him for a two out of three falls match with you at World Without End! (chuckles) World Without End....that's such an ironic name. It's ironic because, unlike the name of the show, at World Without End, your world WILL come to an end, and I will re-claim my status here in this company! You've got a few days left. Heal yourself up, because I want you back here, 100 percent, that way I can sort of have a challenge as I murder you!"

 

(Sly throws down the mic, and taunts a few fans as AJ's being helped to the back due to his major blood over-flow. Sly then leaves for the locker room himself.)

 

MC: "Man, tonight was definately a breakout for AJ Flaire. A tremendous match from both men, but think about this Sunday: according to Sly, we'll get the treat of seeing this match again, but with "Two Out Of Three Falls" rules!"

 

COACH: "You saw what they pulled out tonight! And think: that was just one fall to a finish! This Sunday, these guys have to go three falls! Think about what they'll possibly pull out then!"

 

MC: "I'm thinking about it, and I'm thinking it could be a star-making performance for either man. It's no hyperbole, HeldDOWN~! is home to wrestling's brightest stars!"

 

COACH: "Know what else it's home to?"

 

MC: "I know you're about to tell me..."

 

COACH: "COMMERCIAL BREAKS~! Fans, don't change that channel, because we'll be back in a flash, here on hD~!"

[Zack Malibu 0]

The camera is following THE MAN CALVIN SZECHSTEIN backstage, the grinning champ cradling the title on his right shoulder. He stops suddenly, in front of a dressing room reading LADIES DRESSING ROOM. Without knocking, Calvin barges in and is met with a surprised Lauren Gellar, towel drying her hair.

 

LAUREN

What the hell?!? In case you can’t see, pal, this is the LADIES changing room. At least have the decency to knock!

 

CALVIN

Calm down, sweetheart. I wasn’t here for you, don’t flatter yourself. I know you want some pure, grade-A 100% white.. er, gold meat, but who wouldn’t, eh scorchcakes?”

 

Lauren reaches back, slapping Calvin across the face. The World champion groans, grabbing the side of his face as Lauren stalks off, calling over her shoulder.

 

LAUREN

Asshole.

 

Lauren leaves the dressing room in a huff, leaving Calvin standing there. The applause of the crowd watching on the AngleTron fails to catch Calvin's attention, but the coolly breathing woman behind him does, and Calvin whirls around to see Crystal standing there, a smirk on her face.

 

CRYSTAL

Smooth move, Romeo. I take it you came to see me?

 

CALVIN

You actually have to share a dressing room? That's so... bush league.

 

Crystal glares at the World champ, a mite bit perturbed.

 

CRYSTAL

Yeah, yeah. Sorry, we can’t all be ‘special’ enough to have our own dressing rooms.

 

CALVIN

You're not telling me anything I don't know.

 

Calvin snickers a bit as Crystal rolls her eyes, continuing.

 

CRYSTAL

I know you didn't come in here to talk about how bush league women are, Calvin.

 

CALVIN

Absolutely not, Chrissy. I just came to make sure you're ready for the big match? Don’t want you to choke under the pressure or anything. Gotta maintain the HeldDown pride, ya know?

 

CRYSTAL

Calvin, I’m all about HeldDown pride, but I’m not interested in any revolutions or politics. Your HeldDown pep talks don’t interest me. I’ll let my actions speak.

 

CALVIN

Oh, come on Chrissy. You know you want to show up the competition as much as I do. Are you telling me you don’t want people talking about our show, our matches? Tsk tsk, I’m disappointed in you, Chrissy. I thought you were more of a team player than that.

 

CRYSTAL

Shut it, Calvin. You know as well as I do that *when* I win the title, I’ll be representing HeldDown. And we’ll be the superior brand, same as always. You’re just tip-toeing around your real competition. It’s not IntenseZone; it’s me.

 

CALVIN

Whoa, feisty mama. Slow it down a little bit. You sure seem sure of yourself. Good luck with that. Oh, and one more thing.

 

Crystal goes to respond, but Calvin i quicker, grabbing his belt and mashing it into her face! Crystal hits the tile floor hard, blood trickling down her nose, and Calvin pauses for a moment... before pulling out a handkerchief, wiping the tiny bit of blood off of the OAOAST title. Satisfied, he slings it back over his shoulder, looking down at Crystal with a sneer on his face.

 

CALVIN

If it makes you feel better, Chrissy, I didn't think you deserved the title shot in the first place. Look on the bright side, though -- you've got it, and now you get to prove me wrong. See you Sunday.

 

Back at the announce position, Cole is trying to hold Coach in his seat.

 

Coach: "That mother(bleep), I swear I'll cut his (bleep) and (bleep) his mother (bleep) and (bleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep)!"

 

MC: "Coach, get ahold of yourself!"

 

Coach: "He hit my baby, Michael. MY baby!"

 

MC: "Chivalry is dead, Coach. Look into it."

 

Coach settles down, and Michael takes his seat as well. Coach then jumps up again, and Cole intervenes.

 

MC: "Can we just get on with the show?"

 

Coach: "I swear I'll jump his punk ass when he comes out here later."

 

MC: "You know what, fine, do what you want. I'm not footing the hospital bill this time around."

 

Coach: "Sonuva..."

 

MC: "What?"

 

Coach: "Not you."

 

MC: "Fans, right now, we've been told that a new star has requested airtime to introduce himself to the fans. He goes by the name Sturgis, and..."

 

Lights go out and Fight's "Little Crazy" plays as a mysterious figure enters the arena, and heads for the ring. Fans don't know what to make of this guy, and he doesn't look like the approachable type. He steps up into the ring and waves the ring announcer on, ordering him to deliver the mic to his grip.)

 

"For those of you that don't know me I'm The Burning One Sturgis and I have spent 3 long years on a mission to find my true self, but I have found nothing. My journy has brought me the the OAOAST and their HeldDOWN roster. I am here to find my true self; Either I'm a a good-hearted man, doing the right things for the right reason, or I'm a evil, calculating psychopath preaching my beliefs and hurting those who disagree. Whatever my destiny is I'm sure I'll find it here, and I'm calling open season on all HeldDOWN wrestlers: if you stand in my way, pain will be the last thing you remember."

 

(As soon as the speech is over, the lights go out for several moments. When they come back on, the newcomer is nowhere to be seen.)

 

MC:"That was...interesting. What do you make of Sturgis, Coach."

 

Coach: "All I can say is...he's lucky is not Calvin Szechstein."

 

MC: "GET OVER IT ALREADY!"

 

Coach: "Maybe I don't want to!"

 

MC: "Maybe you HAVE to, because it's just about time for HeldDOWN~! history. Six competitors, three titles, and only one winner. Title Wave is coming, so keep it locked down on HeldDOWN~!"

[Zack Malibu 0]

HeldDOWN~! returns, with a graphic reading "Earlier Today". The graphic then disappears, and we see the face of the former World Heavyweight Champion, Zack Malibu. The camera pans further back, and we then see the faces of both Mad Matt, as well as Crystal, the challenging team in tonight's Title Wave matchup.

 

ZM:"Guys, this is it. We've got a major match tonight, and even though we're working as a team, we've got to face reality. Each one of us wants one of those title belts. You've got the 24/7 Title, a belt that you've held, Crystal."

 

Crystal:"I remember."

 

ZM:"And that belt is a major step to being a superstar. It's a belt that you've got on the line all the time, you're never able to take a break. It proves that the holder of it is worthy, a determined, focused competitor. Then you've got the X Title, and you know all about wanting to be the X Champion, don't you, Matt?'

 

MM:"You're damn right I do, Zack."

 

ZM:"The most exciting division in wrestling. Cruiserweights, brawlers, people of all styles come together in that division to prove who's dominant. Winning that belt shows your ability to adapt, and go at length with the best in the business. Then, we've got the World Title..."

 

::Both Crystal and Matt nod their heads.::

 

ZM:"That belt means you're the best in the world. We don't do paper champions here in the OAOAST. If you hold that belt, you deserve every day you get to reign. I know I've done my part in making that belt mean something, and there are others here that have done their part to do the same. It's the belt that everyone wants, friend and foe alike."

 

::Again, Crystal and Matt nod in agreement.::

 

Crystal:"I know what you're saying, Zack. I know that I'm willing to go out there and back you guys up. I just want you to know that when push comes to shove, if I'm in the ring alone with one of them, whether it's Calvin, Northstar or Ragdoll, I'm taking my chances."

 

MM:"Me too, Zack. I've waited long enough for a taste at gold. I know you know how that feels."

 

ZM:"You have no idea, Matt. I waited for so long for my chance, and I know you guys want to capitalize. I just don't want you guys to let them turn us against each other, exploit any weakness. We're strong competitors, let's wear them out, take them down, and may the best one of us walk away with gold tonight."

 

The trio gets up, and Crystal hugs each of her partners, while Zack and Matt shake hands. They part ways, and the camera fades to black.

 

 

The scene opens up again, with the sight of smoke clouding the screen. The camera pans back, showing Ragdoll taking a few drags. Northstar is preening in front of a mirror, when Calvin Szechstein steps into the room.

 

Rags:"Sup, Cal?"

 

Calvin:"What's up? We've got the biggest match in HeldDOWN~! history tonight, that's what."

 

::Northstar turns from his grooming, and speaks up...::

 

Northstar:"Look Cal, none of us like this match. It's obvious Moysey has it in for us. You think he likes the fact that all his champions are people that don't see eye to eye with him. Actually, not many people see eye to eye with him being the short bastard that he is."

 

The treacherous trio share a chuckle at Northstar's quip.

 

Calvin:"All right, listen up. All joking aside, I'm not going out there tonight and losing this belt. I'm fairly confident that you fellows feel the same, so I'll make this brief. You scratch my back, and I'll scratch yours. You ensure me that I walk out of thi arena with this belt around my waist, and I'll make sure the same happens to you."

 

Rags:"I'm down for that."

 

Northstar:"I'm with you too, Cal."

 

Calvin:"Then it's understood. I've got things to do before our match tonight, so I'll see you later on. I'm glad we had this little chat."

 

Calvin turns and walks out the door, leaving Ragdoll to puff some more on his cig, and Northstar to prep himself up, as once again, the scene fades.

 

Back to live footage, taking us to our announce desk.

 

MC:"Those were scenes filmed earlier today, when both of the teams involved in tonight's main event decided to pool their efforts and talk strategy. Just a short time ago, it appears plans changed, at least on the part of the Championship Trio, as Calvin Szechstein not only confronted, but got a cheap shot in on Crystal. Despite being caught off-guard, Crystal is fine, and to say she's in high spirits would be a lie. It's more of a "I'm going to kill him" mindset. However, the time has come..."

 

Coach:"...and it couldn't have come soon enough."

 

MC:"You ready for this, Coach?"

 

Coach:"Oh, I'm ready Michael. Let's make some history!"

[Zack Malibu 0]

*The ring bell sounds, signalling to everyone in the arena that it is now time for the main event*

 

 

Michael Cole: "Coach, I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t have goose bumps, right now."

 

Coach: "You’re not the only one dude! I think everyone here in the arena and everyone at home is eagerly anticipating the first ever OAOAST title wave match. Knowing the six competitors in the match, I have feeling this could be the greatest OAOAST match ever."

 

Cole: "That’s a bold prediction, Coach."

 

Coach: "I’m a bold man."

 

 

The lights are dimmed, with a lone spotlight shining in the ring. A familiar looking man enters the ring, clad in an expensive tuxedo. Fans deliver an ovation for the famous face, HeldDOWN~!'s new announcer...

 

MICHAEL BUFFER~!

 

The ringbell sounds, as a signal to quiet the crowd down, as introductions are about to get underway for the participants in the first ever OAOAST Title Wave match!

 

MB:"Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is your main event for the evening, and is a first for the OAOAST. The contest will be contested under six man tag team rules, one fall to a finish, with only one stipulation, that being if any of the champions involved in the match are pinned, they will lose their title!"

 

Fans cheer, and some chant "Title Wave", knowing they are about to witness history.

 

MB:"Are you ready?"

 

Fans unanimously shout "YES!"

 

MB:"ARE YOU READY?"

 

Even louder response from the fans.

 

MB:"Then, coming to you from The Pond in Anaheim, CA, being broadcast live nationwide, those in attendance and those watching at home, it's time for the TITLE WAVE~!"

 

"Just A Girl" by No Doubt starts, and the fans pop HUGE. Crystal comes jogging out of the back, checking out her many fans in attendance. Signs are held up with everything from "Crystal Rules" to marriage proposals written on them, and Crystal points a few out on her way to the ring. She slides in under the bottom rope and then climbs up on one of the turnbuckles, raising her arms up and looking out into the sea of fans.

 

Coach: "Hot damn! Hot damn! Did you know I payed to have the entire Crystal fan club flown into watch this match?"

 

Cole: "Are you the president?"

 

Coach: "No, I’m only vice president. Some fat bitch from Lexington beat me in the election. She doesn’t even have the Crystal action figure with rapid fire motion!"

 

Crystal's theme fades out, and is replaced with "Higher", the theme of Mad Matt. The man who has fought so hard to try and obtain the X Title comes out, a determined look on his face. Tonight he's got a chance not only to capture the gold he's wanted for so long, but to possibly capture one of the other prestigious OAOAST Championships. Matt comes down to the ring at a slow pace, stopping to slap a few fans hands, but otherwise staying in his "zone". Matt steps into the ring and nods at Crystal, then looks out, as fans give him a great ovation as well.

 

Cole: I firmly believe that this is Mad Matt’s time to shine. For so long he’s busted his BUTT to win a title and each time he’s come up short. Well, folks I don’t think that’ll happen tonight. I think we’ll see Mad Matt walk out with a title around his waist.

 

"Higher" gets lower and lower, and suddenly all the lights in the arena shut down. Fans are unable to see for a few moments, until the AngleTron video that is all too familiar plays, illuminating the arena...

 

After it's mellow intro, the chorus of "Bring Me To Life" hits, drawing out Zack Malibu and his valet, Candie. The duo is greeted by a huge crowd pop, as they come out looking as psyched as ever, and work their magic on the crowd. Zack is no stranger to gold, and looks focused despite his hyperactive entrance, as this will be his first chance at regaining the gold he lost this past August.

 

Coach: "What can we say about Zack Malibu that hasn’t already been said? A former world champion who never takes a night off. He never gives up and he never does things half assed."

 

Cole: "Unfortunately for Zack, he’s had run ins with just about everyone on the opposing team. They all know him pretty well, especially Northstar. Don’t be surprised if Zack ends up taking the pin fall, tonight."

 

Zack and Candie hit the ring, and huddle up with Crystal and Mad Matt. The three competitors and their cornerperson strategize, and the sounds of Stacie Orrico's "More To Life" emit from the speakers in the arena. Flanked by Alix Spezia, his main Acolyte, is the 24/7 Champion, Northstar. The fans shower him in jeers, but he's oblivious to them, as he comes down the aisle with his arms outstretched and spins around, as if to bask in the hatred the fans have for him. Northstar comes up the ring steps and eyes the opposing team, as he's had run in's with most of them in the past.

 

Cole: "The 24/7 champion. Northstar. Say what you want about his snobby attitude but you can’t question his in ring abilites. Over the past three months, he’s beaten Spider Poet, Tim Moysey, CWM and Anglesault. That’s a who’s who list of OAOAST superstars."

 

Coach: "Here’s a fun fact. Northstar and Crystal have never been in the same ring with each other."

 

Cole: "Yet another factor we can add in to this OAOAST milestone!"

 

Before Northstar can enter, the sound of "VIVA LAS VEGAS" booms over the PA, and fades into "Deceptacon". Strutting out from the back, with a cig in his mouth and a title over his shoulder, is the current OAOAST X Champion, Ragdoll. Ragdoll takes a final puff of his cig, and then walks over near the rail and flicks it at a fan, nearly catching them in the face. Never flinching, he continues on his path to the ring, his Ragettes Josie and Melanie right behind him, taunting fans on their way.

 

Coach: "Look at the babes he’s got! If I all of sudden turned on you and beat you could I get the type of poon he’s hooking up with?"

 

Cole: "Doubtful. In truth I don’t think Ragdoll’s focus is on his “poon”. Right now he’s probably wondering how he got himself into this mess and what can he do to get out of it."

 

Ragdoll gets to ringside and removes his sunglasses, pacing ringside and looking in at his opponents, then quickly turning away. You can tell by body language that the X Champion doesn't like this predicament, and calls Northstar over so that they can begin planning out ways to walk out with their championships intact.

 

Over the sound system, a countdown begins, counting down from 3...2...1...

 

"I'm The Bomb!"

 

Waiting a few seconds into his song to step out onto the ramp, but then emerging with a sinister, sneaky looking grin, is the current OAOAST World Heavyweight Champion, Calvin Szechstein! Looking out at the crowd, Calvin parades the stage with the World Title slung over his shoulder, clad in the NEW Totally Endorsed Hockey Jersey (now available at the NEW OAOAST Shop-Stop). The World Champion takes his trek to the ring slowly as well, as his two partners stand at ringside, looking on as he comes down to them.

 

Coach: "Shiiiiit! I gotta me one of those Totally Endorsed Hockey jerseys."

 

Cole: "The world champion is here and all you can focus on is some stupid Hockey Jersey?"

 

 

Coach: "He’s not my champion! Crystal is. And either tonight or Sunday, she’ll be your champion also."

 

Cole: "Hey, I sure hope so. I’m getting a little sick of this corporate sellout walking around with the title."

 

Calvin steps up on the apron after exchanging pleasantries with his teammates, and raises the title belt up high. Calvin steps into the ring, followed by his cohorts for this evening, and we have a three on three stare down, with each team giving the other the eye from their positions in the ring.

 

MB:"Ladies and gentlemen, before we introduce the participants, I have been told by order of HeldDOWN~! General Manager Tim Moysey, to prevent any outside forces from having an impact on this match, that Alix Spezia, Josie, Melanie, and Candie must all leave ringside!"

 

Coach: "No Ragpoon? No Alix? I’m going home!"

 

Cole: "Thank god!"

 

Josie and Melanie pitch a fit, while Ragdoll nearly throws his title out to the crowd in disgust. Northstar confronts BUFFER about this. Candie simply gives Zack quick kiss on the cheek for luck and heads out, followed reluctantly by the other girls.

 

MB:"And now, to introduce the participants. First, after making his debut in a tremendous tag team contest earlier this year, he has proven his determination to the HeldDOWN~! brand. In several days he will recieve a shot at his arch-rival in a one on one setting, but tonight, could emerge victorious in the Title Wave matchup. He is MAD MATT~!"

 

The crowd cheers loudly, as Matt stretches in the corner.

 

MB:"His partner, she is of strong heart and will, determined to prove she belongs in what is considered by many to be a "man's world". Her determination has won her legions of fans both male and female alike, and has gotten her the Number One Contendership to the OAOAST World Heavyweight Title. She is HeldDOWN~!'s Female Phenom, she is...CRYSTAL~!"

 

Another huge response, and Crystal raises her arms up, then points out to the fans that are rooting for her.

 

MB:"Finally, the third member of the team. He has been through some of the most violent, most historic matches in OAOAST history. His championship win this past year at AngleMania 2, and a subsequent defense against the former Shattered Dreams have won him Match of the Year praise. Tonight will be his first chance to attempt to regain the World Championship he lost this past summer. He is known as the Franchise of the OAOAST...ZACK MALIBU~!"

Huge cheer for the ex-champ, as he steps towards the ropes and props up on them, hollering out to his supporters.

 

MB:"Now, introducing their opponents, making up the alliance of champions, all of whom are defending their titles tonight. First, he debuted on HeldDOWN~! as the third member of the Dream Machines, soon breaking out on his own. After proving himself against those who said he was all style and no substance, he went on to nearly capture the OAOAST Title, defeating Zack Malibu 6 times in one night during an Iron Man matchup. After that, he went on to capture 24/7 gold, and has defended it against nearly everyone on the HeldDOWN~! roster as of today. The current 24/7 Champion, at one point known as Shattered Dreams, but you know him now and forever as NORTHSTAR~!"

 

Many, many jeers for the flamboyant one, as he raises his belt up and points to himself, as if he needs to remind the people that he holds that belt.

 

MB:"His partner is one of HeldDOWN~!'s breakout stars of 2003. After debuting at the side of his brother, K-Money, he became a bitter, vicious competitor, blowing through anyone in his way, including his own family. After retiring his flesh and blood, he has kept an iron grip on the X Division Title. Ladies and gentlemen...RAGDOLL~!"

 

Rags smirks, and slowly raises his belt up in gloating fashion. He then looks at Mad Matt and flips him off, saying that it's something he'll never have.

 

MB:"Last, but certainly not least, the final member of the championship team. He has had the support not of the fans, but of the various corporations that he was able to gain support from. He has been called names ranging from a shameless shill to a corporate leech, but after this past August the only thing he deserves to be called is champion. After nearly seeing his Totally Endorsed empire crumble, he rose up like the phoenix, and took the World Title from Zack Malibu in a brutal ladder match at AngleSlam, and has since then been the man known worldwide as the OAOAST World Heavyweight Champion...ladies and gentlemen...

THIS...IS...CALVIN.....SZECHSTEIN~!"

 

Calvin throws the belt up with one hand, as everyone in attendance shows their loathing for him. Like his two partners before him, Calvin hands the belt over to the referee, who signals that it, just like the 24/7 Title and X Title, is on the line.

 

MB:"Ladies and gentlemen, these are your competitors, this is the Title Wave matchup, and we are now...READY...TO...RUMMMMMBBLLLLLLLLE~!"

 

Cole: "Real quick, who’s going to win?"

 

Coach: "Uh, Calvin over Zack. No wait, Calvin over Mad Matt. Um, hold on..."

 

Cole: "Never mind."

 

The bell sounds for the match to get underway, and Buffer exits the ring, as the fans are waiting on this with great anticipation. Both teams determine who's going to start off, as Ragdoll is heard telling Northstar and Calvin that he's "got this". They step out onto the apron, and Ragdoll turns to see the other team trying to decide who's going in first, since that one person could wind up winning a belt in quick fashion, leaving the others empty handed.

 

Coach: "This isn’t a democracy! Just attack someone!"

 

Cole: "Preferably you."

 

Spying that Ragdoll wants to start things out, Mad Matt tells Crystal and Zack that he wants in. Zack and Crystal both oblige, and the first two men in the match are the two who know each other quite well. Matt comes to the center of the ring and calls Ragdoll on, and Ragdoll scowls at his rival, looks ready for a lockup, and...turns and tags Northstar! Even the 24/7 Champion is shocked, but Ragdoll doesn't even offer an explanation, he just gets onto the apron as Northstar enters the ring.

 

Coach: "Maybe Ragdoll should’ve taken this chance to soften up Mad Matt before thier big PPV match."

 

Cole: "Why do it yourself when you can get the perfectly capable 24/7 champion to do it for you?"

 

Northstar tries to figure out what's going on, and Ragdoll points him in the direction of Mad Matt. Northstar turns around, and immediately Matt goes on the assault, staggering him with right hands. Matt sends Northstar in, but it's countered by the 24/7 titleholder, and Matt bounces off the ropes. Northstar ducks for a back bodydrop, but Matt floats over his back. He spins Northstar around and then leaps up, swinging across his shoulder with a crucifix for the first pin attempt in the match...and it barely gets one, as Northstar quickly kicks out! Both men get to their feet, and Matt uses an open hand palm strike across Northstar's chest, the sound of his palm cracking on Northstar's chest echoing through the arena. He grabs Northstar in a headlock, keeping a firm grip, until Northstar is able to slip out. Matt turns to him, but gets taken over with a fireman's carry, and then Northstar applies a headlock of his own. Matt fights up to his feet, then fires off an elbow to the bread basket...then another...and a third breaks the headlock. He grabs Northstar's arm and sends him to the ropes, then catches him coming off with a back elbow that sends him to the mat. Mad Matt runs the ropes, hopping over Northstar's body and running to the other side. Northstar gets up and puts his head down again, and this time Matt grabs him in a facelock and hooks him for a suplex, but Northstar blocks the try. Northstar tries a suplex of his own, and gets Matt up, but Matt falls behind him, and immediately goes for a waistlock, pushing Northstar to the ropes, and going for a rollup. Northstar clutches the top rope however, sending Matt rolling backwards. Matt rolls to his feet and charges Northstar, who ducks down and pulls down the top rope, sending Matt spilling to the outside...but landing on the apron! Quickly, Matt springboards up and off the top rope, nailing Northstar in the back of the head with a springboard missle dropkick! Matt covers, hooking the leg, and just barely gets a two count, as Northstar is quick to get his shoulder up!

 

Coach: "Does any one ever listen to me? It’s pointless to try and pin Northstar early in the match! He’s got such a high endurance level that he always kicks out and gets right back on his feet."

 

Northstar recovers, and now he and Mad Matt and Northstar slowly circle each other before locking up in a quick collar-and-elbow, which Northstar gets the advantage of, putting Matt into a side headlock. Mad Matt struggles to get free, but Northstar has the side headlock locked on tight. Matt tries to push Northstar away, but NS keeps the headlock on tight. Once again, Matt tries to push away, but to no avail. NS chuckles as Matt stops pushing…CRASH!! Northstar grabs the back of his head as the fans erupt! Mad Matt just delivered a HUGE back drop suplex, and floats over with a pin attempt, again barely hearing the ref's hand slap the mat twice, nevermind three times.

 

Coach: "I’m about to get into the ring and smack some sense into that boy!"

 

Cole: "You won’t either."

 

Matt gets up from the pin attempt, and goes to pull Northstar up, but gets taken over with a monkey flip. Northstar kips up and does a little dance, then charges at Matt with a lariat, which is ducked, but when Matt spins Northstar around, the flamboyant one sticks a finger in his eye, blinding him. With Matt stunned by the move, Northstar hops up on the second rope and jumps off with a flipping neckbreaker (Buff Blockbuster) that snaps Matt to the canvas. Northstar prances around a bit, and shakes his ass at Crystal and Zack, before turning back to Matt and laying some stomps in. Northstar picks him up, and hits another neckbreaker, this time a Hangman's variation, and goes for a cover on the X Division upstart...only getting a two count!

 

Cole: "Did we really need Northstar to shake his ass?"

 

Coach: "It’s a nice ass. If I had an ass like his, you can bet I’d be shaking that money maker!"

 

Matt quickly picks up NS and pulls him into his team's corner, where Zack Malibu is tagged in. Zack slowly picks NS up…WHACK!! The fans "Whoooo" as Northstar clutches his chest, courtesy of a vicious Zack Malibu chop…WHACK!! Another lights up Northstar's chest. Causing the 24/7 Champion to scream in pain…WHACK!!! The third chops causes Northstar to crumble to the mat. Zack smiles wide at the fans…before tagging in Crystal! Crystal hops into the ring, and quickly starts putting the boots to NS, who tries to cover up his chest and face with his forearms. After about four good stomps, Crystal quickly picks Northstar up into a standing position…AND GETS A THUMB TO THE EYE FOR HER EFFORTS! The fans boo as Northstar stumbles over towards his corner…BUT GETS STOPPED MID-RING BY MAD MATT! Matt turns Northstar around and tries for a DDT, but Northstar reaches down, lifting him by the legs and slamming him with a standing spinebuster, then holding onto the legs, and delievers a boot to the midsection, taking the wind out of Mad Matt.

 

Coach: "I think it’s time for Northstar to make the tag."

 

Northstar picks Matt up and holds him in a facelock, pulling him towards the corner and tagging in...Calvin Szechstein, as Ragdoll holds his hands up to say he doesn't want in, despite Matt's current condition. Calvin comes in and the duo hit a double team Russian Legsweep on Matt, again jarring his head on the canvas. Calvin picks him up and then snapmares him over, then grabs him in a chinlock (no doubt taught to him by Northstar, who does it best) and tries to wear down the rookie.

 

Cole: "Calvin’s borrowing one of Northstar’s favorite moves. I wonder if he’s got it sponsored?"

 

Coach: "Who the hell would sponsor a chinlock?"

 

Cole: "Same people who sponsored WWE Unforgiven."

 

Coach: "Ouch."

 

Matt does his best to fight through it, as his team rallies him on from there corner. He manages to stand up, but Calvin slams him to the mat head first to stop any potential tags from happening. Calvin then bounces off the ropes and uses a fistdrop, but misses, as Matt rolls out of the way just in the nick of time! Calvin shakes his hand and sneers in pain, as Matt starts crawling for the corner. Calvin grabs one of his feet in order to prevent him from making the tag, but Matt jumps up and kicks back, getting Calvin off of him. Calvin is only slightly phased, but Matt scrambles quickly to the corner and makes the tag...TO ZACK!

 

Cole: "Here comes the Z Bomb! The corporate shill is about to get what he deserves."

 

Malibu slingshots himself in over the top rope, and Calvin starts begging off immediately. This is the first meeting of the two in the ring since Zack dropped his title to the Totally Endorsed lynchpin, and you can rest assured that that match has been on Zack's mind every day since. Calvin backs up, raising his hands in truce, and then extending his hand to Zack as a sign of...friendship? Zack looks around, then like a bolt of lightning slaps Cal's hand away and UNLOADS on him with punches and chops that send Calvin staggering back into the corner! Zack works him over, but in doing so doesn't notice Calvin slip his hand out to Ragdoll, making a tag that the referee did in fact see. Zack pulls Calvin up and sends him to the other corner, then CRUSHES him with a running splash that slumps him against the turnbuckles. Zack pulls him up, oblivious to the ref's pleas to stop (since he's not the legal man), but Zack starts firing off a traditional ten punch countalong in the corner until the referee finally is able to pry him away from Calvin...and Zack falls right into the waiting arms of Ragdoll, who NAILS him with a release German Suplex! Ragdoll helps the breathless Calvin out of the corner, and on his way back to the apron he kicks Zack in the head for good measure, as the World Champion was in no mood to hang with the man he beat for that title.

 

Cole: "Oh come on! Look at that cheap shot. Now that you don’t have to fight him, you sure are willing to hit Zack, aren’t you Calvin? What a punk."

 

Coach: "I won’t dispute that Cal might be a punk but the guy who just tagged out gets between five and twenty seconds to stay in the ring."

 

Cole: "Says who?"

 

Coach: "WWF No Mercy for N64."

 

Ragdoll sends Zack into the ropes, and catches him coming off with a sideslam that Zack counters by spinning out and taking Ragdoll to the mat with a headscissors! Zack follows up with a lariat, but it's ducked, and Ragdoll reaches back and pulls Zack down with a backslide...Two Count Only! Zack floats over to his feet and gets Ragdoll as he's recovering, hooking both arms, and carrying him over with a butterfly suplex. Zack then sits Ragdoll up, and pulls back on both of his arms with a stump puller submission, causing the X Division cornerstone to howl in pain. Ragdoll gets to his feet, with Zack now holding him in a double chickenwing type hold, but spins towards his foe and uses a double leg takedown on him, then flips over into a bridge...only a two count on Zack, who rolls over and manages to get Ragdoll in a standing headscissor as he's getting up...powerbomb attempt, BLOCKED WITH A RANA...COUNTERED WITH A ROLLUP BY ZACK MALIBU! ONE...TWO...RAGDOLL KICKS OUT! Both men make it to their feet and Ragdoll marches up in Zack's face, then BITCHSLAPS the taste out of his mouth, angered that he's being shown up here tonight. Zack rears back, rubbing his cheek that was reddened by the blow, and nails a slap of his own, knocking the cocky smirk off Ragdoll's face! The two men then lock horns in the middle of the ring, each one trying to push the other back a few steps. Ragdoll goes to work on the arm quickly, using an arm wringer, and Zack reels for a minute before being able to counter with an arm wringer of his own! Ragdoll paces himself, then flips forward, landing on his feet in order to flip out of the hold, but before he can Zack kicks his legs out from under him, and then sits out with his legs locked around Ragdoll's arm. Rags is screaming, not liking the position he was put in at all, but manages to grab the bottom rope to break..

 

Cole: "I’ll tell you what, I thought that match could’ve been over.

Coach: Why didn’t one of Ragdolls teammates come in to break the hold?"

 

Cole: "Probably because they’d rather see Ragdoll lose his title then them."

 

Zack backs off, and Ragdoll lets out a sigh of relief before getting to a standing position and charging at Zack, getting pulled back to the mat with a crossface style takedown! Before Zack can do any more damage to the arm, Ragdoll slips out from under his grip, and pulls Zack up with a waistlock, however Zack fires an elbow back, and counters into a waistlock of his own. He reaches down and grabs both of Ragdoll's legs, pulling him over with a wheelbarrow suplex...COUNTERED IN MID MOVE BY RAGDOLL WITH A BULLDOG! Ragdoll rolls Zack over, and hooks his leg...BUT IT'S ONLY FOR TWO!

 

Crowd: Let’s go Zack! Let’s go Zack! Let’s go Zack!

 

Coach: "How come they never chant lets go Coach?"

 

Ragdoll pulls Zack up off the mat, and then brings him towards his corner, where he violently throws him into it. Ragdoll makes the tag to Northstar, who is all too familiar with Zack himself. They perch Zack up on the top rope, and then each one stands on the middle rope (on either side), and they each hook one of Zack's arms, hiptossing him from the top rope down to the mat! Ragdoll gets down, but Northstar goes up to the top rope, and nails a PERFECT flying elbow smash, one that would make the Macho Man jealous, right into the chest of Zack Malibu. He lays across Zack for the cover, but doesn't hook the leg, figuring he's finished...and he's wrong, as Zack is able to get a shoulder up!

 

Cole: "Once again, Northstar’s arrogance has cost him a pinfall. Is that much of weakness to hook the leg?"

 

Growing agitated, Northstar scoops Zack up, and then slams him to the canvas, then points to the turnbuckles. The crowd boos his taunts, as he goes to the corner where Crystal and Mad Matt stand, hoping that Zack can make a tag to one of them. He taps Mad Matt on the cheek with a pat and draws his ire, enough for Matt to try and enter. With the ref having to hold Matt back, Calvin sneaks in and hits a running knee drop into Zack's chest, making sure that he stay on the mat. Seeing this however, Crystal has a plan of her own, and when Northstar climbs the ropes and makes kissy faces at her, she reaches up and slaps him! Stunned, Northstar hops down to the mat and confronts the Female Phenom. He reaches out and grabs her by the hair, shouting down at her, and he gets spit at, square in the face for his troubles! Northstar starts wiping his pretty lil' face off, disgusted by the move, and stumbles around right into a ROARING ELBOW~!, hit out of desperation by Zack! Moving on all fours, Zack makes his corner, reaching out to the closest of the two hands...CRYSTAL!

 

 

 

Coach: "OH YEAH!! I live for moments like this! Go get him girl!"

 

Crystal immediately climbs the ropes, waiting for Northstar to stand up. His mind foggy, he looks around for his opponent, thinking Zack is still legal, and turns around right into a flying bodypress from the top rope by the former 24/7 Champion! Crystal hooks the leg, but gets shoved off of Northstar before the three count! She gets to her feet first, and meets Northstar with a kick to the gut, then forearm shots to the side of his face, dazing him. She tries for an Irish Whip, but Northstar counters and hip tosses her over, however Crystal lands on her feet and hip tosses him across the ring! Northstar again scurries for his corner, and tags in the eager Ragdoll, while Calvin keeps an eye on his World Without End opponent from the apron.

 

Cole: "Darn. I wanted to see Crystal pound on Northstar some more."

 

Ragdoll steps in, calm, cool and collective. He waves Crystal on and she comes charging, but he sidsteps her, making her run the ropes. Crystal comes off the ropes with a rana, but Ragdoll blocks, shoving her off of him so that she flips over. Crystal lands on her feet like a cat, but gets kicked in the bread basket and set up for a power bomb. Ragdoll lifts her up onto his shoulders, but before she can be driven down, she starts firing off right hands to stun him, then flips over his back with a sunset flip, however she stands up...AND LOCKS RAGDOLL IN THE CRYSTALLING~! SHE'S GOT IT LOCKED IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!

 

Coach: "If what you said is correct, Northstar and Calvin are going to let Ragdoll fend this off for himself. TAP OUT RAG DOLL! DO IT NOW!"

 

Cole: "Calm down."

 

Ragdoll is trying to reach the ropes, but nothing doing. Crystal leans back, adding more pressure to the move, when Calvin starts to creep into the ring. Zack sees this and comes running, but gets cut off by the referee, who urges him back. With Zack providing an involuntary distraction, Calvin sneaks back in and pries Crystal off of Ragdoll, and SPIKES her head into the mat with an elevated DDT. Calvin quickly slides out to ringside, turning to the fans to make it seem as if he hopped off the apron to jaw with them, as the referee doesn't know any better. Ragdoll crawls over, putting an arm over Crystal's body, as the referee begins the count...

 

One...

 

Two...

 

Th...NO! MAD MATT COMES IN AND PULLS RAGDOLL OFF OF THE PIN!

 

Coach: "Thata boy Matt! Your getting a Christmas card from me!"

 

Crystal rolls to the side of the ring, holding her head in pain, while Matt stands above Ragdoll. The referee tries urging Matt out of the ring, but when Ragdoll stands up, he shoves the referee aside, and gets right up in Matt's face. The two bitter rivals are nose to nose, with the referee coming in again and trying to seperate them, since Matt is not the legal man. Matt steps back to the apron, not taking his eye of Ragdoll, who has made the mistake of taking his eye off Crystal. He turns around, and she jumps at him with a jump swinging DDT...NO! Ragdoll tosses Crystal off...RIGHT INTO THE REF! The collision is not that bad, as Crystal and the official are only stunned. As Crystal is getting up, Ragdoll rushes across the ring...DEVIL DOLL...TO THE REFEREE~! CRYSTAL MOVED, AND THE OFFICIAL CAUGHT THE DEVIL DOLL IN THE HEAD~!

 

Crowd: Bullllllshit. Bullllllshit.

 

Ragdoll looks down at the official, leaving Crystal time to head for her corner and make the tag to...MATT~! Mad Matt hops up to the top turnbuckle and comes leaping off with a flying rana that sends Ragdoll across the ring. Ragdoll backs up and begs for mercy, but Matt will have none of it! He gives chase, and Ragdoll slides out under the bottom rope, and before Matt can get him, he gets caught with a springboard clothesline from Northstar! Northstar starts putting the boots to Matt, then pries him up, locking him in a bearhug at first, but then lifting him up and tucking his head, drilling him into the mat with a Cradle DDT~! Northstar stands up to flaunt what he's done, but Zack rushes in and NAILS him with a Yakuza Kick! Malibu mounts his shoulders and starts punching away, until he's grabbed by the hair by Calvin, who lfts him up on his shoulders and spikes him with a death valley driver, known as the Sony DVD! Calvin gloats, but then turns right into Crystal, who kicks him in the gut and then grabs him in a headlock, runs the ropes, kicks off, and drops him with a Stratus-style bulldog! She sets Calvin up and goes for her double jump moonsault, the Diamond In The Rough, but as she does Ragdoll sneaks back in and shoves her over the ropes and to the floor, where she lands with a horrible THUD~! The X Champion does a little strut on the apron, before stepping back into the ring, amidst all the fallen bodies. He goes and stands over Mad Matt, rolling him onto his back and lightly slapping his face, taunting his foe. Suddenly, like a horror movie monster, Matt recovers, grabbing Ragdoll's hand, as he's finally gotten ahold of him! Ragdoll begs off, but Matt backs him into the corner, and GOES OFF on Ragdoll, with punches, chops and kicks, all catching Ragdoll with full power behind them. Matt grabs Ragdoll by the hair, and pulls him away from the corner, then let's go and runs up to the top turnbuckle, then dives off, turning sideways in midair and kicking Ragdoll in the back of the head with the QUICK RESPONSE~! Rags crumbles to the mat, and Mad Matt covers for the pin, but there is still no referee! Calvin gets up, and goes to break up the pin, but Zack is up behind him, spinning him arond...POP DROP~! POP DROP ON THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION~! PIN, but there is still no referee! Now Northstar gets up, shaking the cobwebs out of his head, and goes to break up the pin attempts...AND IS SPEARED OUT OF HIS BOOTS BY CRYSTAL~! Northstar clutches his ribs, laying on the mat, and Crystal grabs his legs...THE CRYSTALLING~! THE CHAMPIONS ARE ALL IN DANGER~!

 

Cole: "Folks we’ve got pandemonium right here in Anaheim! A Quick response, followed by a Pop drop, followed by a Crystalling! My head’s about to explode! And so is my bladder. I’ve got to pee!"

 

The fans are going NUTS~!, as the babyface trio are standing firm, keeping their pin attempts in hopes the referee will get up. The ref, in a daze and no longer knowing who is legal, wakes up, and sees Calvin being pinned by Zack! Zack nods his head, urging the referee on...here comes the count!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!!

 

TH...SHOULDER UP! SHOULDER UP BY THE CHAMPION!

 

Crowd: Twwwwoooooo.

 

The referee stands up, but turns around and sees Mad Matt pinning Ragdoll, so he dives to the mat again, making the count!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!!

 

THRE...NO! NO! RAGDOLL KICKS OUT!

 

Coach: "Who’s legal man? Which one of these pins should’ve even been counted?"

 

Meanwhile, Northstar is tapping like a bastard in The Crystalling, but when the referee notices a third try at victory, it's too late, as he's grabbed the ropes, breaking the submission. The crowd applauds wildly, as the babyfaces all eye each other, each one knowing that despite their friendship, it's coming down to the wire, and each one is going to try to win a title belt tonight. Each of the faces pairs off with a heel, as Matt gets Ragdoll in a corner, Crystal takes Northstar, and Zack takes Calvin. Simultaneously, they whip all the heels into each other, the three of them knocking heads in the center of the ring! The heels all roll out to the floor, each one on their own side of the ring. Calvin picks himself up with the assist of the guardrail, and turns around, just as Zack darts across the ring...NO HANDS PLANCHA OVER THE TOP ROPE DOWN ONTO CALVIN~!

 

Crowd: Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!

 

Crystal climbs up to the top rope, looking down at Northstar, before facing away, and hitting a MOONSAULT BODYBLOCK TO THE FLOOR ONTO THE 24/7 CHAMPION~!

 

Cole: "Good god in heaven! Did you see that? Did you see that?"

 

Mad Matt focuses on Ragdoll, and runs towards the ropes for a dive, but Ragdoll looks up at the last second and ducks away, however Matt does the Rey Jr. fakeout, and stands near the ropes, waiting for Ragdoll to notice. The X Champion turns around...SPRINGBOARD SHOOTING STAR BODYPRESS BY MAD MATT ONTO RAGDOLL~!

 

Cole: "No! No! No! He did not just do that! He did not!"

 

Coach: "He did!"

 

Cole: "He didn’t!"

 

The referee is desperately trying to restore order, but that's gone out the window now, as everyone is out for themselves. The champions are trying to retain, while the opposing team is as focused on them as ever. Calvin Szechstein slides into the ring, and Zack sees this, so tries for the YAKUZA KICK~!, but Calvin dodges it, and Zack winds up crotched on the ropes! Calvin quickly runs up the turnbuckle and jumps off with a dropkick, sending Zack spilling to the outside! Calvin gets up, and as soon as he does Matt grabs him with a backdrop suplex, but Calvin floats over, then spins Matt around...NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX~! The referee slides in for the count, but the pin is broken up by Crystal, who kicks Calvin low while he's in the bridge~! Crystal grabs his legs and looks out to the crowd for approval, as she goes for The Crystalling...Calvin kicks her away...RIGHT INTO A SINGLE ARM DDT BY NORTHSTAR~! COVER...CRYSTAL KICKS OUT JUST BEFORE THREE!!!

 

Coach: "That was so close, I nearly peed myself. I thought that the divorce was going to finish Crystal!"

 

Cole: "It almost did. I have a feeling a pinfall is going to come soon."

 

Northstar starts freaking out, tearing at his hair that he didn't get the pin on that move. He confronts the referee, but is fought off by Mad Matt, who recovers, and sends him a few steps back with every punch, until Northstar is at the ropes. Matt whips him in, and then goes down for a back bodydrop, but Northstar fakes him out by sliding under his legs and propping up behind him! He taps Matt on the shoulder, spins him around, and tries a lariat, but Matt ducks it, and sends Northstar towards the ropes, and he's caught by Zack who comes back in and drops him with the Rock Bottom Backbreaker~! Malibu covers...AND NORTHSTAR KICKS OUT~!

 

Crowd: Northstar sucks! Northstar sucks! Northstar sucks!

 

Malibu slaps the mat in frustration, as everyone is avoiding defeat. The fans are biting their nails, wondering what these six stars are going to pull out next. Zack props Northstar up on the top rope, then climbs up, trying for a superplex, but Northstar blocks it. Zack tries again, but Northstar hangs on, not allowing himself to get carried over, when Ragdoll sneaks in under Zack, and lifts him up on his shoulders...ZACK SUPERPLEXES NORTHSTAR WHILE RAGDOLL DROPS ZACK BACKWARDS OFF HIS SHOULDERS~! All three men lay on the mat, and with Zack laid out in the middle of the ring, Calvin Szechstein quickly climbs to the top...FUBU 450 SPLASH ON ZACK MALIBU~! Calvin Szechstein hooks the leg of the former champion, and the referee slaps the mat once...TWICE...THREE...NO! MAD MATT HITS A BASEBALL SLIDE DROPKICK TO BREAK UP THE PIN!

 

Coach: "I wonder if Matt would’ve done that if Zack was the one pinning Calvin? I mean, would he let Zack become the new World Champion so easily?"

 

The crowd lets out a sigh of relief, as they thought that was the end of the match just then. With everyone else laid out, Matt pairs off with Calvin, picking him up but then rolling him up with a small package...FOR A TWO COUNT! They get up and Calvin tries a backslide for the pin...AND ONLY GETS TWO! Calvin and Matt stand up, and Matt charges him, hitting a lariat that sends them both spilling to the floor! Both men lay at ringside, while everyone else is either weary or recovering inside the ring. Matt and Calvin get up, and they start brawling at ringside, not noticing Ragdoll leaping over the top rope...FLIP PLANCHA ONTO BOTH CALVIN AND MAD MATT! All three fall to the floor, as the crowd shouts out a loud "Holy Shit" chant, as Ragdoll executed that move with aerial grace. Crystal, back on her feet, climbs the turnbuckles and looks down at her two opponents, as well as her partner. She waits for everyone to get on their feet, and then soars like a bird through the sky, landing down on them with a flying bodypress from the top to the floor that wipes everyone out again!

 

Coach: "Hot diggity damn! That’s going on my best of Crystal tape, volume 458."

 

Cole: "Never mind that. These high spots that Crystal and company keep doing are just as damaging to them as they are to their adversaries!"

 

Four of the six competitors are down on the floor, leaving only Zack Malibu and Northstar in the ring. They eye each other getting up, and Northstar rushes him, but Zack grabs him and delivers an STO...NO! Northstar elbows out of it, and then sends Zack crashing into the corner, then follows with a running elbow that knocks Zack silly! Northstar starts choking Zack, with the ref warning him not to do so, and backing him away. Zack recovers, and with a sudden burst of energy, rushes forward with a YAKUZA KICK~!...DUCKED BY NORTHSTAR~! Northstar tries his own...DUCKED BY ZACK...SCHOOL'S OUT...NO! Northstar catches Zack's foot and throws it down, then he takes Zack's arm, wrenches it, and pulls him in...OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX BY NORTHSTAR~! Zack hits the mat hard with his back, and cringes, using the ropes to pull himself up in the corner...AND GETS CRUSHED BY A NORTHSTAR AVALANCHE~! Northstar hangs on and tries a bulldog after the corner splash (think Raven here), but Zack slips out at the last second, and sends Northstar crashing to the mat on his BUTT! The 24/7 titleholder squirms in pain, and gets up, only to be met with a ROARING ELBOW~! from Zack. Zack quickly covers Northstar, who must be seeing stars by now...BUT ONLY GETS A TWO COUNT! NORTHSTAR KICKS OUT!

 

Cole: "I’ll admit that was a fast count."

 

Zack takes a moment to catch his breath, and while the two in the ring are trying to get a second wind, the battle continues on the floor. Crystal tries coming back in the ring but is pulled down by Calvin Szechstein, slamming her facefirst into the apron! Matt and Ragdoll brawl all around ringside, and taking it into the crowd, each man taking hard shots and delivering even harder ones! Members of the crowd follow them as they brawl up into the upper level seats, further and further away from the ring! Meanwhile, Crystal is hung over the guardrail by Calvin, as he tries to choke her out, bitching at the fans who are running him down at the same time. With Crystal out, Calvin sneaks back into the ring and clobbers Zack in the back of the head as he's recovering, and turns him around, lifting him with a piledriver that Northstar assists him with, stuffing Zack's head into the canvas!

 

Cole: "You can practically hear Zack’s neck snap against that unforgiving canvas. These monsters have Zack to themselves and I don’t like that one bit."

 

Coach: "I doubt Zack does either."

 

Rather than go for a pin, Northstar and Calvin start conversing, with Calvin telling Northstar something that the 24/7 Champion agrees to. They set Zack up on one end of the ring, and Northstar stands just before him. Calvin runs the ropes, and Northstar ducks, as they go for the old Calvin/Colvid Totally Endorsed backdrop/senton finisher! Just as Calvin is going to crash down on Zack and finish him off, Zack gets pulled to to the floor by Crystal, who grabs him by the leg and pulls him out under the bottom rope, causing Calvin to crash on the mat! Crystal climbs up on the apron, with Calvin down on the mat in the ring just in front of her. Before she can do anything, however, Northstar comes running and dropkicks her knee out from under her, sending her falling to the floor and again nailing her face on the apron!

 

Coach: "That son of a bitch! You don’t take out someone’s knees. You just don’t. That’s a low down and cheap move."

 

Zack starts climbing back up on the apron, but Northstar sees him as well, and looks to suplex him into the ring, but Zack falls behind him, and rolls him up! The referee makes the count...BUT ONLY TO 2 4/5, as NS KICKS OUT! He kicks Zack off of him and Zack goes forward, nailing a recovering Calvin through the ropes and out to the floor! Stunned by the collision, Zack wobbles backwards, and gets turned around by Northstar...HOLLYWOOD HOMICIDE~!...NO! Zack elbows down on his shoulders to break...SCHOOL'S OUT...NO!, BLOCKED BY NORTHSTAR...WHO TRIES ONE OF HIS OWN...BLOCKED BY ZACK...NORTHSTAR GETS PULLED IN AND DROPPED WITH AN INVERTED ATOMIC DROP! Hunched over in pain, Northstar is cringing, and Zack quickly grabs a facelock, then hooks the leg...POP DROP~! POP DROP BY ZACK~! He hooks the leg of Northstar!

 

ONE!

 

TWO!!

 

THREE!!!

 

Winner:Zack Malibu wins Title Wave by pinning Northstar (24/7 Champion) in 28:25. Zack Malibu is now the OAOAST 24/7 Champion.

 

Cole: "Coach, I don't believe it! Zack Malibu has just become the OAOAST 24/7 champion!"

 

Coach: "Believe it, playa, because we just saw it!"

 

"Bring Me To Life" cues up, as the fans go WILD. Zack is handed the belt, as Michael Buffer makes the official announcement. Groggy, Zack is helped to his feet by the ref and handed the 24/7 Title. Calvin stomps his feet in anger on the floor, then turns to the side and sees his rival for this Sunday getting up, raising her arm in a salute to Zack. They eye each other, and the tension is building between them for this Sunday.

 

Cole: "What a night, and what a match. The first ever Title Wave matchup goes down in the history books AND the record books, as Zack Malibu has just captured 24/7 gold!"

 

The cameras cut backstage, where a group of hD~! talent is watching the scene on a monitor. Tim Moysey looks pleased, as does Candie, who is applauding her man. Suddenly, the monitor is SMASHED in a million pieces by someone unseen bringing a baseball bat into it. It's CWM~! CWM continues smashing the monitor, and as Moysey tries to approach, he's scared off by CWM with the bat. Charlie Hoss steps in, but is more concerned about watching out for Candie then getting mixed up with the psycho.

 

MC:"What the hell? I thought he left earlier?"

 

Coach:"Did you really think he was going to get out of here without finding out the result of this contest? Do you think ANYONE would have?"

 

MC:"Do you know what this means? With Zack holding a title now, it makes him prone to an attack from that psycho..."

 

Coach:"...possible at any time! And it means that the match on Sunday will have that belt on the line!"

 

MC:"This is all so much to digest, and we'll see the ramifications this Sunday. Fans, we appreciate your love for this show more than you know, and we urge you to stay tuned each and every week. Don't forget World Without End this Sunday on PPV, and we'll see you next time, here on hD~!"
