HD: Opening segment (Axel/PK/Alf)

Recommended Posts

I wrote an opening for the show so if you wanted to do it yourself, go ahead. I'm just so used to doing it by now.

Another PPV in the books, so it’s time for some meaty FALLOUT~!  Ground zero this week is the state-of-the-art Reisch Center in scenic Green Bay, Wisconsin.  Heading into the arena, we find another packed house ready and willing to cheer their bratwurst clogged hearts out for their favorite OAOAST superstars.  SIGN CHECK~!  “Zack got screwed”, factually correct, but not very creative.  “Alfdogg = Next Champ”, uncreative AND factually incorrect.  “SJ, table for one?”  Niiiice.  Over to Sofa Central and your hosts, the dapper (whatever the hell that means) Triple Cee.

COLE
We are four days removed from AnglePalooza 2006 and what a night in Toronto it was.  Hello everyone, I’m Michael Cole and we have another jam-packed show for you this week.  Tonight, we’ll hear from the winner of the 2006 Lethal Rumble.....

COACH
And it’s not Zack!!  HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!  Alfdogg dumped his ass and won the $100,000 bounty along with a title shot at AngleMania V.

CABOOSE
With a HUGE assist from Axel, we should mention.

COACH
Hey, Alf threw him over the top rope and he hit the floor, that’s all that you need to remember.  

COLE
Also, in a brutal I Quit match, Peter Knight retained his World Heavyweight Championship by making Stephen Joseph say I quit....but what happened after that match still makes me sick.

CABOOSE
Don’t tell me Coach, “Axel didn’t hear him”, right?

COLE
Well, we’ve got a lot more in store for you fans tonight.  The second round of the Anderson Cup begins and we’ll get more reaction from the events of AnglePalooza.

[i]CUE: I’m On a High[/i]

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”

COACH
But here come the two happiest men in the OAOAST!

Indeed, as his music blares over the PA, HeldDOWN General Manager Axel is beaming as he steps into the arena.  On his right and also beaming, the current OAOAST World Heavyweight Champion Peter Knight.  The title belt rests on his right shoulder while the briefcase containing the money dangles from his left hand.  Both men stand on top of the stage and drink in the boos before making their way down the aisle.  

BUFFER
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome HeldDOWN General Manager Axel and the OAOAST World Heavyweight Champion, Peter Knight!

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”

As they walk, Knight hands the briefcase over to Axel and raises the title belt while Axel raises the briefcase at the conclusion of Buffer’s introduction.

CABOOSE
Look at those two; it’s like they just won the lottery.

COACH
Can you blame them for being happy?  The Upstarts reign supreme right now in the OAOAST and we won’t get pushed off the throne that easily.

Both men walk up the ring steps and onto the apron.  Axel holds up his hand and sits on the middle rope, making it easier for Knight to step through and Knight reciprocates the gesture for Axel.  Knight looks around in contempt of the negative reaction from the crowd as Axel walks over and gets a microphone from Buffer as the music fades.  The crowd lets the venom fly, booing both men mercilessly and not giving Axel time to speak.  Axel, not letting any anger show, simply stands in the ring and waits it out as Knight motions for the crowd to settle down, putting his finger to his lips in a “Shhhhhh” gesture, but the crowd doesn’t let up.  Axel waits nearly a minute before putting the mic to his lips.

AXEL
You know, I’m the GM of this show, so I can pull the plug on it right now if you don’t settle down.

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!”

That only serves to inflame the crowd even more.  Knight walks over to the ropes and trades words with a fan at ringside, threatening to slap his teeth into his wallet as Axel begins to look annoyed.  

“AAAAAAAAAAX-HOOOOOOLE!!!”
“AAAAAAAAAAX-HOOOOOOLE!!!”
“AAAAAAAAAAX-HOOOOOOLE!!!”

COLE
Listen to these fans.  They certainly did not like what transpired at AnglePalooza at all.

COACH
If Axel stops the show, we still get paid, right?

Finally, three minutes after Knight and Axel made their entrance, the crowd settles down enough so that Axel can begin.

AXEL
Thank you.  Well, I hope you all enjoyed the show this past Sunday, because I sure did.  We have a new women’s champion, Confusia, we have new tag team champions......

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

AXEL (cont’d)
…and though they aren’t “affiliated” with us per se, I talked with Jim Cornette earlier today and assured him that the New New Midnight Express will, as the first ever three time tag team champions, be treated with the respect and honor that those men deserve.  I wish the teams remaining in the Anderson Cup a lot of luck because, at AngleMania, you will need every ounce of it.  We also had the return of three of the OAOAST’s biggest stars in Josie Baker......

“BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”

AJ Flaire......

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

and Ken Baker.

[b]”BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!![/b]

AXEL
And Austin, I hope you are doing well, because I want you back here as soon as possible, because I have some plans for a nice “family reunion” down the road.  But now, let’s get on to the biggest news of the night.  First, in an I Quit match, the man standing in the ring with me did what no one thought could be done; make Stephen Joseph say “I quit” in front of the whole world.  Why, it was so embarrassing, Stephen hurled himself off the stage and his world “shattered” around him.

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”

COLE
Ugh, the old evil villain staple, the bad pun.

AXEL
And Popick, if YOU are watching this, I hope that you DON’T recover so we won’t have to see your beaten down, old, useless carcass in an OAOAST ring ever again.

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

AXEL
And finally, onto the biggest news of the night and the real reason that we are out here now.  30 participants entered the Lethal Rumble match on Sunday night, each wanting an opportunity at this man at the biggest show of the year.  29 fell, one remained and in the process (lifts briefcase) he collected a little bit of cash by taking out one Zack Malibu.  So, ladies and gentlemen, I proudly introduce the WINNER of the 2006 Lethal Rumble….Alfdogg!

[i]Magnum Opus: Father Padilla Meets the Perfect Gnat/Howling at the Moon[/i] hits and Alfdogg steps through the doors to a fairly mixed reaction.  Most of the crowd cheers him, but a vocal segment, no doubt unhappy with Zack’s loss, lets their boos be heard.  Alf hits the ring steps and walks into the ring.  Axel extends his hand, but Alf simply brushes him off and hits the turnbuckles, raising his arms for the fans.  He hops down and reaches for the briefcase, but Axel draws it back, holding his hand up and motioning for him to calm down.

AXEL
Now, once again I’d like to congratulate you on outlasting twenty-nine others to win a shot at the OAOAST World Title at AngleMania.  It is a feeling that I experienced last year, so I know how excited and anxious you are to wrestle in the main event of the biggest show of the year.  However….do you [i]really[/i] think you can measure up to this man (gesturing to Knight)?  Do you really think that, one on one, you can beat this man and take his title?  Alf, you are just like Stephen Joseph.  Granted, you don’t have the massive ego he has and are a [i]slightly[/i] better wrestler, but, like him, you’re an old timer still hanging on to the belief that you can still hang with the big boys.  You carry around that gimmick title and defend it by rolling around in malls and hitting guys with Christmas trees.  This man…this man doesn’t play around with stuff like that.  At AngleMania, you better be ready for the fight of your life because, as Stephen Joseph now knows, you’ll be going up against the Crown Jewel of the Upstarts, the man well on his way to becoming one of the greatest World Champions of all time.  You better be ready for Atlantic City Alf…..because he will be.

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”

Alf stands with his arms crossed, quietly listening to Axel’s spiel.  When he finishes, he pauses, seemingly contemplating what he just said before holding his hand out, wanting the microphone from Axel.  Axel shakes his head, telling Alf to go get his own so he walks over to Buffer and gets another one.  He pauses again, getting his thoughts together before speaking.

ALF
Wow...he's really made [i]you[/i] a believer, hasn't he?  Well, let's go back in time a little while, shall we?  Let's say about nine months, on HeldDOWN.  It was my first TV match in over TWO YEARS, and my opponent was...oh, well it was you, Petey!  And you know, Petey, despite my ring rust, I not only beat you in that match, I put you out of action, on the SHELF!  And now, nine months later, with me on a roll, at my absolute best, I have no chance.  How does that work, exactly?  If you couldn't beat this rusty "old-timer" nine months ago, what makes you think you can do it now?

Alf holds the mic up to PK, then pulls it back when he starts to speak.

ALF
Oh, I almost forgot.  You did manage to beat me a couple weeks later.  But contrary to what your man Axel said, you had to use a weapon, didn't you?  You brought a steel chair into the ring, and busted me open with it before you could get that fall.  And not surprisingly, you've ducked me ever since.  So the question is, are YOU ready for Atlantic City, Peter?  Because you can't hide anymore once April 2nd arrives.  Now, I've got a match to prepare for, so if you don't mind.

Alf drops the mic and outstretches his hand, wanting to collect his money and go.  Knight and Axel share a look and Knight takes the mic from Axel's hand.

KNIGHT
(To Axel) Look at that, he just went and proved your point.  (To Alfdogg) Listen up, "Alfie", what happened nine months ago doesn't mean a damn thing right now.  I was "ducking" you?  I wouldn't call tearing through the X-Division, with a REAL title belt around my waist by the way, and then reaching the pinnacle of this company while you go screw around with Some Guy in a mall or 70s Dude at a fair"ducking" you.  You aren't in my league, Alf.  Hell, without a certain someone's "assistance", Zack probably would have sent your ass flying into the fifth row, but hey, you did your job.  (Picking up the briefcase) So here you go, happy Groundhog's Day. 

Knight forcefully tosses the briefcase at Alf, causing him to recoil back a step when he catches it.  

KNIGHT 
Don't spend it all before AngleMania, because I have a feeling you might have some medical bills to pay after our match.  (To Axel) Let's go.

Knight drops the mic and, with Axel, turns to exit the ring but.....

ALF
That's right, it's Groundhog's Day today.  Tell me Peter, did Axel see his shadow when he crawled out of your ass this morning?  

The crowd laughs at the ZING~! and Knight pauses halfway through the ropes.  Smirking, he nods his head and steps back in.

COLE
Uh oh.

Axel stands on the apron as Knight picks his mic back up.

KNIGHT
Cute.  Real cute the way you have to get the last laugh in there.  Guess being the BUTT of every joke got a little tiring, eh Alf?  I know you said that just to get me back in here so (gets in Alf's face) the question is, what are you going to do now?

Alf smirks and takes a step back to put down the briefcase.  He sticks the mic in his tights and makes a big spectacle of cracking his neck and stretching out before grabbing the mic again.  

ALF
This.

*SMACK*

Alf fires off a right hand, which is quickly returned by Knight, triggering a slugfest that sets the crowd off.

"YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

COLE
Here we go, a preview of AngleMania!

Knight wins the slugfest, backing Alf into the ropes as Axel cheers him on from the apron.  Knight shoots him off and goes for a clothesline, but Alf ducks it and bounces off the opposite ropes, leaping into Knight and taking him down with a Lou Thesz press before peppering him with rights on the mat.

"YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

COLE
Lou Thesz press!

COACH
Alf is signing his own death warrant.

He pops up as Axel screams insults at him from the apron.  Quickly shifting his weight to his right leg, he takes a step towards him and smacks Axel with a superkick, sending him tumbling off the apron and to the floor.

[b]"YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"[/b]

COACH
HEY!  He hit the General Manager!  He should lose his title shot for that.

CABOOSE
Oh shove it.  I've been waiting for someone to do that for a month.

COLE
Wait, look, Knight has the briefcase!

Indeed, Knight is holding the briefcase up, waiting for Alf to turn around.  As he does, Knight swings, but Alf ducks underneath that as well.  The momentum knocks Knight off balance, causing him to drop the briefcase and, as he turns around, Alf leaps and scores with a standing dropkick to the jaw, knocking Knight down.

COLE
Look at what Alfdogg is doing to the champion!

CABOOSE
And now he's got the briefcase!

Alf waggles the briefcase like a bat, waiting for Knight to get back to his feet and turn.  Groggily, Knight stumbles to his feet, turns.....

*THUMP*

....and gets a Samsonite to the skull, knocking him down again.  

"YEAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"

Alf grabs his feet and slides him closer to the corner before stepping out onto the apron and putting one foot on the bottom turnbuckle, thrusting his hand into the air with five fingers outstretched.

"DO IT!!"
"DO IT!!"
"DO IT!!"
"DO IT!!"
"DO IT!!"

COACH
No!  Get up, Peter!

COLE
Alf is going for the Five Star Alf Splash on the champion!!

Alf ascends the turnbuckles, but Axel, having come to his senses again, reaches into the ring and pulls Knight out, both men trying to shake the cobwebs out as they retreat up the aisle.

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

As Axel and PK stand in the aisle, Alf stands on the middle rope and holds up the briefcase.  He then picks up his mic again.

ALF
You know...a lot of people like to say that wrestling is just one big soap opera.  Well, you know, they're right in a way.  Because right know, Alfdogg is in Another World!  And Peter, your time with that belt is ticking away...just like sands through the hourglass.

The crowd cheers as Alf holds up the briefcase once again and [i]Magnum Opus: Father Padilla Meets the Perfect Gnat/Howling at the Moon[/i] plays.  Any boos we had heard during his entrance are gone, replaced by loud cheering.

COACH
Alfdogg just made the biggest mistake of his career.  We were willing to give him his props for taking care of Zack, but that is out the window.  Axel is going to do something about this.

CABOOSE
Oh yeah, Alf looks REAL concerned in there right now.

COLE
Well guys, if this explosive beginning to HeldDOWN is any indication, we're in for a hell of a show.
