Hoff/Alfdogg for 8/4

[Hoff 0]

The cameras cut to a shot of Triple C at ringside, manning Sofa Central as only they can.

COLE
Fans, it has been a wild night here on HeldDown.  We've learned that we have a new General Manager, and that he is CALVIN SZECHSTEIN--

CABOOSE
And Boss, I hope you got that fruit basket I sent in.

COLE
Wait, how did you already send him a welcoming present?

CABOOSE
I have my ways.

COLE
In any event, it has been an eventful night, and we are all set to cap it off with a fantastic main event.  Hoff, the number one contender, defending his AngleSlam title shot against the OAOAST Heartland Champion, Alfdogg.

COACH
Aw, yeah, playas.  This is gonna be a hot one.  These two guys are red-hot right now, and you know they're gonna tear the house down.

COLE
Absolutely, two of the hottest, winningest superstars in recent weeks.  Hoff of course won the Battlebowl event to win his title shot, and since then he has defended that chance against any and all comers, and not only that, he's beaten each and every one of them.  

COACH
Yeah, and meanwhile, Alfdogg won the then-Puerto Rican title from, well, tha Puerto Rican, renamed it the Heartland Title, and he's held onto it against challenger after challenger!

COLE
Both these guys had great nights last Sunday at License to Pin, both of them beating CSI members.  Hoff over Brock Ausstin, and Alfdogg over Hoff's most notorious rival, Chris Stevens!

CABOOSE
Well, good for them.

COLE
And that brings us to tonight.  Hoff, Alfdogg, the #1 contendership, and it starts....NOW!

Michael Buffer stands in the center of the ring, house mic in hand.

BUFFER
Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for our MAAAAAAAAAAIN EVENT!!

The house lights go down as "The Wall" by Kansas hits the speakers, and the crowd lets out a good-sized cheer!  The cheers grow louder as the OAOAST Heartland Champ, Alfdogg, steps onto the stage!

COLE
And there he is!  The man with a golden opportunity!

Alf adjusts the Heartland Title belt on his shoulder, shining it with the palm of is hand before patting it.  The champ grins cockily as he struts down the aisle.

COACH
These fans are feelin' Alfdogg here tonight!

COLE
Lately he's been winning over the crowd, slowly, week by week...plus, he probably has some goodwill left from defeating Chris Stevens on Sunday.

CABOOSE
The morons in this audience had the gall to boo my man, Chris Stevens, in that violent barbed wire ladder match.  But hey, we could do worse than Alfdogg.

Alf climbs the ring steps and steps into the ring, holding his Heartland Championship over his head, showing it off for the crowd.  Alf hands the title to referee Brian Hebner, who hands it to the timekeeper.

COLE
Well, Alf seems in high spirits, and hopefully that confidence will give him an edge in his match against, arguably, the hottest commodity in wrestling today.

CABOOSE
Oh, give it a rest, Cole.

"The Wall" fades as Alfdogg takes off his OAOAST Originals jersey, revealing the sleeveless white t-shirt underneath.  The fans buzz during the ensuing moments of silence....

[b][color=silver]*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM~!*[/color][/b]

And then COME ALIVE as "Black" hits and onto the stage steps HOFF!!!

COLE
THERE HE IS!!

Hoff looks out over the fans, smiling and nodding his head before making his way down the aisle.  The big man slaps the hands of the fans in the aisle, but keeps his gaze on the man in the ring.

COACH
And Mikey, I don't know if this man is the hottest commodity in wrestling, but he's damn sure the most popular!

CABOOSE
Bah.  You know what?  These fans don't know what's what.  They boo athletes like Drek Stone, like Chris Stevens, and they cheer slugs like this.  It sickens me.

Hoff slides into the ring, popping to one knee and looking hard into the eyes of Alfdogg.  Alf raises an eyebrow, looking unimpressed by the #1 contender.  Hoff gets to his feet, then turns, climbing the near corner.  Flashbulbs light the air in the arena as Hoff throws his fist into the air, posing for the crowd.  The big man steps off the ropes, then blows past Alfdogg, heading to the far corner and flexing his muscles to another round of flashbulbs.

COLE
Hoff has told us that he is in the best shape of his career, and I for one believe him.  It's going to be a tough road for Alfdogg tonight.

CABOOSE
Yeah, but don't forget, Alfdogg has championship experience.  He's a former World Champion himself.  He's done everything Hoff has, and more.  In fact, I think Hoff might be the one in for a long night.

Hoff hops off the ropes and meets Alfdogg in the center of the ring.  The two men lock eyes, Hoff's focused gaze in stark contrast to Alf's self-assured grin.

BUFFER
This contest is scheduled for one fall, with TV time remaining, and it is for the OAOAST NUM-BER ONE CONTENDERSHIP!!!  Introducing first, the challenger.  Hailing from Anderson, Indiana, and weighing in at 240 pounds, he is an OAOAST Original, a legend in his own time, and a former Heavyweight Champion of the World.  The reigning Heartland Champion, tonight he looks to earn the right to challenge Axel at AngleSlam on August 28th.  Ladies and gentlemen.......ALFDOGG!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alf turns to the crowd and holds his hands out, looking for applause.  A few of the audience members jeer, but the majority give Alfdogg a round of applause.

BUFFER
And his opponent.  From Minneapolis, Minnesota, and weighing in at 275 pounds.  He is a former World Champion looking to regain his crown.  Tonight, he defends his right to do so as if it were the title itself.  The reigning and defending number-one contender......HE IS.....HOFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hoff looks left, then right, raising his fist into the air to a massive ovation.  Alfdogg lets out an arrogant laugh, shaking his head at the big man.

BUFFER
So, for the thousands in attendance tonight, and for the millions watching around the world.....LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLETS GET READY TO RUM-BLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Buffer exits the ring as Brian Hebner reads the instructions to both men.  Contender and challenger both nod, prompting Hebner to ring the bell!

*ding ding ding ding ding*

COLE
Here we go!

The bell rings, but Hoff and Alf remain unmoving, staring at each other.  Alf spits the wad of gum he was chewing out of the ring, then looks at Hoff, jutting out his chin.  Alf turns the side of his face to Hoff, offering up a free shot.  The fans boo, but Hoff crosses his arms, shaking his head.

CABOOSE
Aw, come on, ya wimp.  Take the shot.

Hoff shrugs, prompting Alfdogg to scowl.  Alf lowers his jaw, then shoves Hoff back!  The big man's eyes flare as he stumbles back, then charges at Alf and tackles him to the mat!!  The crowd goes wild as Hoff begins hammering the Heartland champ with big right hands!

COLE
There you go, Caboose!  There's the shot Hoff was waiting for!

Alf crawls away from the big man, but Hoff gets to his feet and grabs his foe from behind!  Hoff grabs an arm and whips Alf into the ropes.  Alf comes back, and Hoff catches him with a shoulderblock that sends him to the canvas!  Hoff falls on top of Alfdogg, and Hebner drops to his knees, but Alf kicks out before he can slap the mat.  Both men get to their feet, and Hoff again grabs Alf by the arm, whipping him toward the ropes, but Alf reverses and Hoff hits the strands!  The big man comes barrelling in, and Alf catches him with a HARD back elbow!  Hoff's head snaps back, the impact sending Hoff crashing to the mat.  Alf pounces, straddling Hoff's chest and laying in with some right hands of his own!

COACH
Alfdogg is one tough brawler, and it might be tough for Hoff to match fists with him!

Hoff covers, but the fists of Alf do their damage.  Alf gets off of his foe, then measures him up before dropping a forearm across Hoff's face!  The big man grabs his nose, and Alf hooks his leg for a cover!  Hebner counts one, but that's all he gets before Hoff kicks out to a big pop!

COLE
Hoff powers out easily.  Both men going for covers early on, maybe hoping to score a fluke pinfall!

CABOOSE
As far as I'm concerned, every win of Hoff's is a fluke.

COACH
Well if that's the case, he's on the biggest fluke streak I've seen in a while.

Alfdogg pulls the #1 contender up by the hair, throwing a few forearm shots to the bridge of Hoff's nose.  The big man reels, and Alf throws him into the ropes!  Hoff comes off the far side, and Alf throws a beautiful superkick, but Hoff catches the boot!  Hoff spins the nacho-loving grappler around, grabbing him from behind and planting him with a back suplex!  The fans cheer as Hoff rolls up to his feet, sizing up his foe before leaping into the air and dropping a leg across Alfdogg's throat!  Hoff rolls over into a cover, ONE, TWO, and Alfdogg kicks out!!

CABOOSE
I'll say this much.  One of Hoff's strongest points is his ability to act on the fly.  It's not chain wrestling, per se, although we've seen him do that.  It's ring generalship.  He knows where he is, and acts accordingly.

Hoff, now, picks Alfdogg up by his long locks and drives a knee into his stomach.  Alf doubles over, and Hoff grabs his neck, snapping him down with a swinging neckbreaker!  The big man goes for another cover, Hebner counts, but again, Alfdogg is out at two.

COLE
Well we saw Hoff have some trouble with Brock Ausstin on Sunday, but so far, he has been in control here.

COACH
Well it's rare that Hoff sees somebody as powerful as he is in the ring.  He's much more used to seeing these smaller, quicker athletes, and so he knows how to handle them, if ya feel me, playas.

Hoff climbs to his knees and pulls Alf's head up, applying the dreaded REAR CHINLOCK~!  Hoff squeezes his arms, applying a lot of pressure, but Alf is able to fight up to his feet and throw an elbow to Hoff's gut!  Hoff loses his grip, and Alf SMASHES his knee into Hoff's skull!!  The crowd "ooohs" as the dull thud resonates throughout the arena, and Hoff falls onto his back.  Alf walks over to Hoff, then turns to face the crowd....before delivering a STANDING MOONSAULT!!

COLE
WOW!  What a move!

Alf hooks a leg as Hebner makes his count!

ONE!!

TWO!!

THR-NO!!!  Hoff kicks out, and the fans applaud!

COACH
This match is kinda similar to the Hoff/Some Guy affair from a couple weeks ago, although the fans here seem to be giving Alfdogg more respect than they did to SG.

COLE
So far, both men putting on a clean, if hard-hitting, matchup.

Alfdogg, looking a bit miffed that the moonsault wasn't enough, pulls Hoff to his feet and throws a hard blow to Hoff's temple. Hoff stumbles away, resting in the corner, but Alf grabs him, pulls his arm back, and delivers a hard knee to Hoff's ribs!  Hoff groans in pain as he doubles over, and Alf pushes him back up and does it again!  The fans get on Alf a little bit as he smiles, enjoying the punishment he's laying on the #1 contender.  Alf drives another knee into the ribs of Hoff, then pulls him out by the hair.  Alf hooks Hoff by the head, grabs his waist, and brings him over with a snap suplex.  Alf floats into a cover, and the official makes the count!  ONE!!  TWO!!  KICKOUT!!

COLE
Almost got him right there!

CABOOSE
Alfdogg's got his momentum rolling, fellas.

Alfdogg pulls his opponent to his feet and hooks Hoff once more for a vertical suplex.  Alf tries to lift the big man, but Hoff blocks it with his leg!  Hoff throws a knee to Alf's gut, and another!  The fans cheer, but the cheers turn sour as Alf lets go, rears back, and smashes Hoff with a huge headbutt!  Hoff spins, reeling in pain!

COACH
Alfdogg is using his h--

CABOOSE
DON'T say it.

COACH
Yeah all right, but you know what I was gonna say.

Alf grabs Hoff--

COACH
ALF USED HIS HEAD LOLZ~!

CABOOSE
You SON OF A--

Caboose, on the sofa, tackles Coach as Alfdogg grabs Hoff by the back of the neck, snapping him down with a modified neck breaker!  Alf gets to his feet and stalks around Hoff, grabbing the big man by the legs!  The fans buzz as Alf steps through!

COLE
Alfdogg could be going for the Sharpshooter!

Alf crosses Hoff's legs as the big man struggles!!  Alf leans to one side, trying to turn the big man onto his stomach, but Hoff resists!  Alf tries to turn the other direction, but Hoff kicks him off!  Alf bounces into the ropes and comes off, kicking at Hoff, but the big man rolls out of gthe way and gets to his feet!  Alfdogg angrily grabs Hoff and shoves him into the corner, rifling off a knifedge chop--

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

--but Hoff grabs Alf and reverses, throwing him into the corner!  The fans go wild as Hoff rears back and throws a big right hand, and another, and another!  Hoff tears into Alf with big rights, then grabs his dazed foe and whips him corss-corner!  Alf hits the far buckles hard, his back arching in pain....then gets SQUASHED with a Stinger Splash!

COLE
Stinger Splash!  Hoff is rolling!!

Hoff backs out of the corner with a smile, and Alfdogg falls to the canvas!  Hoff rolls him onto his back and hooks the leg!

ONE!!


TWO!!


NO!!  Alfdogg throws a shoulder up!!

COLE
Hoff coming awfully close to retaining his contendership!

The big man pulls Alfdogg to his feet, then throws him into the ropes and catches him with a high back body drop-- NO!!  Alf flips in midair and lands on his feet!  Hoff turns around--right into an Alfdogg superkick!!  The big man crashes to the mat, and Alf drops on top of him, hooking the leg!!

COLE
Will it be enough?

ONE!!


TWO!!


THRNO!!!  Kickout!!  The crowd lets out an audible sigh as Hoff throws his shoulder into the air.

COLE
Hoff just barely kicking out of that big superkick by Alfdogg!

Alf, looking exasperated, gets to his feet, waving Hoff up.  The crowd throws Alf a few boos as Hoff slowly gets to his feet.  Alf sneaks up behind him and hooks him in a full nelson, but Hoff slips his arms free and ducks behind Alf with a standing switch!  Hoff hooks Alf with a rear waistlock and tosses him overhead with a German suplex!  He holds the bridge!  Hebner with the count!!

ONE!!


TWO!!






NO!!!  Alfdogg throws a shoulder up, breaking the bridge!

COLE
So, so close!

Hoff rolls up to his feet and grabs Alf, pulling him up from behind!  The #1 contender clubs Alf in the back of the neck, then grabs him from behind, hooking him in a rear facelock that sends the fans to their feet!

COACH
FUTURE SHOCK!

CABOOSE
Oh, no.

COLE
Hoff looking for the Future Shock!  No need to say that if he hits this, it's all over!

CABOOSE
Then don't say it!

Hoff grabs Alf by the waistband of his pants and hauls him overhead...but Alf shifts his weight and lands behind Hoff!!  Hoff turns, and Alf quickly grabs his arm and throws him into the ropes!  Hoff comes off and Alf grabs him, spins him, and drops him in the center of the ring with a SPINEBUSTER!!

COLE
Shades of Arn Anderson!!

CABOOSE
And you know Hoff can't be happy with that!

Alf gets to his knees, then his feet as he looks down at Hoff....then turns his gaze to the corner!  The fans again gets up as Alf heads to the apron!!

COACH
FIVE-STAR ALF SPLASH!!

COLE
Alf could be looking for his signature maneuver, that big, huge, high-impact Five-Star Alf Splash!!

The crowd actually cheers as Alf climbs up the ropes!  Alfdogg stands to his full height...looks down at Hoff...and leaps!  Flashbulbs again go off across the crowd as Alf delivers the Five-Star.....but Hoff lifts his boot and catches Alf in the FACE!!!!!

COLE
OH MY!!

The audience holds its breath as Alf's face plummets into the underside of Hoff's boot, stopping the splash before it can reach its target!  Alf falls to the mat, dead weight, as Hoff lowers his foot to the mat.

COLE
Did Hoff ever dodge a bullet there!!  Let's take one more look at it!

The SUPER SLO-MO replay shows Alf leaping off the top, pumping his arms and legs, and falling face-first onto Hoff's size 14.  Meanwhile, in live action, Hoff climbs to his feet, stalking to Alfdogg's motionless body!

COACH
And Hoff is in complete control, fellas.  Alfdogg may be out.

COLE
Let's see if Hoff goes for a cover here!

Hoff walks over to Alf and picks him up by the hair, grabbing him by the arm and whipping him toward the ropes....but Hoff hangs on, yanks Alf back in, and turns him INSIDE OUT with a short-arm clothesline!!  Alf does a flip in midair before landing face-down on the canvas!!  The fans cheer as Hoff slashes his arms, ROARING to the crowd!!

COLE
Hoff ready to put Alfdogg away here!!

Hoff stalks around Alfdogg, grabs the legend by the right leg...and LOCKS IN THE ANKLELOCK!!!  Alf SCREAMS in pain as he hops on one foot, trying to get away, but Hoff pulls him away from the ropes and twists on the ankle!!

COLE
The anklelock applied!  This has to be it!!

Hebner checks to see if Alfdogg wants to quit, but Alf shakes his head.  Alf hops, trying to break free, but Hoff keeps the hold locked in!  Alf stays up, though, and manages to reach the ropes!!  Hebner starts his five count, but Alf lunges forward, diving over the top rope...and sending Hoff over and onto the arena floor!!!

COACH
DAYUM~!

Hoff lands HARD on the thin protective mats, back-first, reeling in pain.  Alf pushes himself back into the ring, and the fans applaud as he shakes out his ankle.

COLE
Well you've got to admire Alfdogg's resillience, as well as his innovative counter to that hold!  We'll see if he can capitalize here!

Hoff, slowly, gets to his feet.  As he turns to face the ring, Alfdogg runs the ropes...and comes flying over the top with the SPACE FLYING TIGER DROP!!  The fans go BANANA as Alf wipes Hoff out, as well as himself, the two men landing in a heap at ringside!!

"HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT! HO-LY SHIT!"

CABOOSE
Holy [b][color=red]BLEEP[/color][/b], indeed.

COLE
What an amazing move by Alfdogg, completely flooring Hoff.

COACH
Yeah, Alfdogg may have banged himself up a little though!  But this is still his best chance to put Hoff away and win that title shot!

Slwoly, [i]slowly[/i], Alfdogg gets to his feet and pulls Hoff up by the hair.  The fans slap Alf on the back as he rolls Hoff into the ring, then takes off his shirt and tosses it into the crowd!

CABOOSE
Some lucky fan getting a souvenir.

COACH
Lucky?  That shirt is covered in sweat and nacho stains!

COLE
Alfdogg looking for it all once again!!

Alf climbs onto the apron...then heads upstairs to another big pop!!  Alf looks down, but Hoff makes it to his feet!  In a daze, Hoff stumbles, then turns to face Alf!  Alf leaps with a diving cross-body, but Hoff catches him and snaps him to the mat with a HUGE powerslam!!

COLE
WHAT A REVERSAL!!

Hoff hooks Alf's leg, and Henber makes the count!!


ONE!!!





TWO!!!











KICKOUT!!  Alf kicks out at the last second!!  Hoff looks up, closing his eyes in exhaustion.

COLE
SO close!  And now Hoff has to wonder what HE has to do to put Alf away!!

Hoff climbs to his feet, then grabs Alf by the hair!  Pulling the former World Champ halfway up, Hoff screams "THIS IS IT!!"  The fans pop as Hoff pulls Alf's head up and grabs him by the legs, lifting him for the SPINEBUSTER~.....but Alf elbows Hoff on the crown of his head!!  Hoff drops Alf, doubling over, and Alf grabs the big man, hooking him for a PERFECT PLEX, but Hoff rolls him up with a SMALL PACKAGE!!

Hoff swings his legs free and rolls onto Alfdogg, hooking his leg!!

COLE

"Black" hits as the fans EXPLODE, and Hoff rolls off of Alf and to his knees!!  Hoff raises both fists in triumph as Buffer reads the decision!!

BUFFER

Hoff gets to his feet, and Hebner raises his hand as the fans shower their hero in praise.

COACH
Score one more for the big man!

CABOOSE
Well, like it or not -- and I don't -- but Hoff busted his ass yet again to get the job done.

Hoff looks down at Alfdogg, nodding with a smile, before climbing onto the ropes and throwing his fist into the air once more.

COLE
Well it has been a wild, wild night here tonight, capped off with a wild main event, and yet again we ask ourselves the question.  Can anyone...ANYONE...stop Hoff?  Folks, for Caboose and the Coach, I'm Michael Cole, and we'll see you next week, right here, on HeldDOWN!!

The final scene closes on Hoff, the number one contender to the OAOAST World Title, lowering his arm and looking out across the fans, a smile on his face...

[b]FADE TO BLACK[/b]
