Segments for HeldDown

Recommended Posts

Okay, I call either, or both, depending on how much someone wants to use one or the other. When you read the segments, you'll know why.

 

COLE
Ladies and Gentlemen hello and welcome to OAOAST HeldDown!  We are live north of the border once again in Toronto, Ontario, Canada!  Michael Cole here at Sofa Central alongside The Coach, and former two-time OAOAST Champion, the one and only Caboose!

CABOOSE
After the events of last weeks show Michael Cole, I want some repercussions!  I’ve got a feeling this is going to be one hell of a night.

COLE
We left you last week with the disturbing image of a bloody and battered Zack Malibu, after the Wildcards brutally attacked him after his HI-YAH Championship loss to Faqu.  I really have nothing else to say regarding those events.

CABOOSE
‘Nuff said.

COLE
Well, to kick off the show, I’ve been informed to send it down to ringside, where Michael Buffer is standing by.  So, let’s go down there.

The camera switches to Michael Buffer, standing in front of the timekeepers’ desk, microphone in hand.

BUFFER
Ladies and Gentlemen, at this time please welcome a former two-time One and Only AngleSault Thread World Champion.  A former One and Only AngleSault Thread Twenty-Four Seven Champion.  A former Revolution Trophy winner, and a former winner of the Lethal Rumble!  It is my pleasure to introduce to you… [b]AAAAAAAAXXXXEEEEELLLL!!!![/b]

COLE
What?????

“I’m on a High” hits as the Toronto crowd, bizarro world as they are, deliver a healthy pop for the return of one of the company’s greats, and a man who has been embroiled in controversy over the past year!  

CABOOSE
What the…?

COACH
I didn’t think Axel was legally allowed to be on this show!  Michael, did you know about this?

COLE
What the hell are you looking at me for?  I had no idea!

Stepping through the curtain, Axel appears fired up to return to the squared circle, playing to both sides of the crowd at the top of the ramp.  Decked out in a black suit with a blood red shirt, the former GM makes his way down the ramp, even slapping a few hands as he makes his way to the battleground.  Running up the steel steps and into the ring, Axel plays to the crowd further, striking the crucifix pose, and attracting another large pop by the Toronto crowd.

COACH
These fans are cheering a guy who has beaten up on some of the most popular wrestlers in the OAOAST locker room!

CABOOSE
Bizzaro world, remember?

COLE
In any event, I have no idea why Axel is out here, or even if he’s allowed to be here!

As the music dies down, Axel takes a microphone from Michael Buffer, and paces around the ring as the pop slowly dies down.  The former GM pauses, and then brings the microphone to his lips, addressing the crowd, and the millions watching live.

AXEL
Now, before the monkeys in the back have a collective heart attack… yes, I am legally allowed to be here.  But why am I here?  Well, not only to score the highest rating segment on this program in six weeks – and you’d better believe this is it – but to address the events of the last month.  Now, as you know, the last time I was in this ring, I had just been a part of one of the single greatest moments in this companies’ history.  Beside me were two of my best friends, on one side was Drek Stone…

“BOOOOOOOOYEAHBOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”

AXEL
…And on the other… was Hoff.

“YEEEEAAHHBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBOOOOOO!!!!”

AXEL
The three of us had just become the most dominant force in the federation’s history, and we were about to embark on the most dominant period ever in professional wrestling.  The owners had put their faith in me to lead this company into its next phase, and you can be damn sure I was ready.  But, then the board of directors came along.

Axel pauses, his expression turning more angry than serious.

COLE
That they did, and they made it a legal matter!

AXEL
They changed the rules.  Illegal appointment, they cried.  Against our contracts.  The board ruined what should have been the greatest moment in all our careers.  And now, the board want to take legal action.  Now, I know the owners are quite happy to take this matter to court, and I know the board are quite happy to let this process go on for as long as possible, but, I’m here for the reason I was appointed.  I’m here to look after the best interests of the company.  If this goes on for years, you all know as well as I do that this will cripple the company.  So, I have a proposition for the board.

Axel turns around to address the other side of the crowd, who are waiting for his next comment.

COLE
A proposition?

CABOOSE
Who knows what’s going through Axel’s mind right now.  The guy’s as unpredictable as he is untrustworthy.

AXEL
We settle this the way all disputes in this company should be settled… in the ring.

“YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHH!!!”

AXEL
This is a one time offer.  You’ve only got the next two hours to accept it.  Here’s what I’m proposing.  In just over six weeks from now at a very special OAOAST Syndicated, we will have a match.  The owners will pick one wrestler to represent their interests as their captain, of course, that will be myself.  The board will also select a captain.  Then, the two captains get four other guys to join their team.  On that very special OAOAST Syndicated, all ten men will participate in a Captain’s Fall Tag Elimination match.  The team that wins the match will gain control of the Presidency of the One and Only AngleSault thread.

COLE
That could be huge!  A Captain’s Fall Elimination Match!

AXEL
Now, I know that old fossil, that old western reject Bill Watts is back there, trying to recapture the magic by talking to guys half his age.  Watts, you and the board have those (fingerquotes) “parties” all the time in the board room, so I’m sure you’ll be able to get me an answer tonight.  Do your best Brokeback Bill, because if you don’t accept this offer, this company is going to do what you should have done a long time ago… it is going to DIE.  Think about it.

Axel drops the mic, and his music hits as the former GM rolls out of the ring.  Walking up the ramp, Axel slaps a couple of hands from supportive fans.

COACH
That match would perhaps be the biggest in One and Only AngleSault Thread history guys.

CABOOSE
For once, I agree with you Coachman, with the power that both the owners and the board wield, I can only imagine the teams that they would assemble.

COLE
Well, what a way to kick off HeldDown!  We’ll be right back!

put this anywhere in the middle of the show.

 

COLE
Well, we are back here on HeldDown, and as the night is winding down, we still have not heard any response from Bill Watts regarding Axel’s challenge to the Board of Directors.  We understand that Bill Watts is backstage, and, from a personal point of view, I’d like to see him accept the challenge.

CABOOSE
I agree Michael, as much of an asshole has he is, Axel is right.  If this matter gets dragged on in court, ultimately, this company will suffer, and that’s the last thing we want to happen.

 

Aaaaaaaand the last one. Stick the BR in the Main after this if you like.

*************************

We come back to HeldDown with the music fading down, and soon being replaced by the Generic OAOAST Music~!

COLE
Here he is!

From behind the curtain steps none other than the former OAOAST President himself, Bill Watts.  Watts walks briskly down the entrance ramp, paying no attention to the crowd, and appearing to have a lot on his mind.

COACH
Refresh my memory Michael, when was the last time we saw Bill Watts?

COLE
I believe that was OAOAST Syndicated, Coach.

COACH
And what happened?

COLE
He was brutally atta-

COACH
He was DESTROYED by the most dominant three men in this company Michael!  He was DESTROYED!

CABOOSE
Coach, you’d better shut your mouth right now.

COACH
Or what?  You’re going to beat me up?

CABOOSE
Yes.

COACH
Okay then.

Watts steps into the ring, and gets straight to the point, grabbing Michael Buffer’s microphone, and bringing it to his lips.

“I’M ON A HIGH!”

COLE
Oh no, this is the last thing we needed tonight.

Just as Watts is about to speak, Axel’s music hits, and he makes his way down the ramp, toward Bill Watts, mic in hand himself.

AXEL
Before you say a word Watts, if you’re thinking of turning down my offer, just consider what this will do to the company you supposedly built.  You’re signing the OAOAST’s death certificate if you refuse.

WATTS
Now listen here you Kangaroo riding bastard!

“YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAHHHH!”

WATTS
First off, don’t interrupt me.  Didn’t your parents teach you manners, or were you too busy trying to get a sneak peak at your sister naked, I hear that’s what you’re into down there!

Axel goes crazy at that last comment, his eyes going wide, cussing at Watts, and walking closer to the ring.

WATTS
Come any closer and I’ll shove this microphone down your throat!

“YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAHHH!”

WATTS
Now, I’ve just been on the phone with the board, who thought about it, and wanted to inform you, asshole, that the Board ACCEPTS your offer!

AXEL
You accept?

WATTS
We accept.

AXEL
I was hoping you’d say that.

WATTS
I bet.

AXEL
Bill, I was hoping you’d say that so I could take this opportunity to introduce you – personally – to my first two team mates.

WATTS
Oh really?

AXEL
YA RLY!

WATTS
NO WAI!

AXEL
Yeah.  In any event, let me introduce to you, you diaper wearing old bastard, and to all these moose mounting Canadians…

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

AXEL
…in Toronto, Canada…

“YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHTHATSWHEREWELIVE!”

AXEL
To my first team mate.  A former two-time World Champion.  A former Twenty Four Seven Champion.  The KING of the Death Match…  He hails from Minneapolis, Minnesotta... Torontonians, make some noise, give it up, cheer, love, WORSHIP… HOFF!!!!

“YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAHHHBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”

“Hypnotise” by System of a Down hits, as the crowd go into a frenzy, half of them cheering, half booing, but none of them forgetting the big man, who bursts through the curtain, and plays to the crowd.  Hoff walks down the ramp, and meets Axel with a hand slap, the two turning their attention back to Watts.

AXEL
And my second team mate, another former World Champion, perhaps the fastest rising star in this company’s history, he’s the spiritual leader of this team, the One and Only AngleSault Thread Employee of the YEAR!!!!  Ladies and Gentlemen, the man every President wants in his fold, DREEEEEKKK STOOOOONNNNEEEE!

COLE
Oh give me a break!

“Woke up this Morning” blares over the loudspeakers this time, and the crowd shower Drek with – what else? – a hugely negative reaction.  Move over Stephen Joseph, you never left your own company for dead, now, did you?  Meeting up with the other two and slapping hands, the three men turn to face Bill Watts, and then slowly walk down the ramp.

AXEL
Like the look of my team so far Bill?  How about we give you a little preview of team work in action?  I mean, you’ve already been beaten down once, why not endure the pain again?

WATTS
I was counting on it.

AXEL
Oh really?  Some fight left in ol’ Brokeback Bill ay?

WATTS
Oh, I know I can’t take three men on my own.  So, I thought I’d introduce you to the captain and first team mate of our team.  

The three former world champions walk up the steel steps and climb through the ropes and into the ring, with Axel on the mic constantly

AXEL
Enlighten me Bill, I can’t wait.

WATTS
Oh, you already know them.  They were more than happy to be a part of our team.  A little help here guys?

With that, “Simply Ravishing” hits over the loudspeakers!

“YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAHHH!”

Axel, Drek and Hoff stop dead in the ring, turning around only to see none other than Tony Brannigan and Dan Black sprinting to the ring, chairs in hand!  As Tony and Dan slide in, the bad guys bail, and regroup on the ramp, still in shock over the arrival of Black T!

WATTS
Ladies and Gentlemen, meet our captain, Tony Brannigan, and his first team mate, Dan Black!

“YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAHHHHH!”

WATTS
See you next month, boys!  Your team had better be ready, because you can be damn sure ours will be!

AXEL
Watts, you just made the biggest mistake of your life by accepting our challenge.  Don’t worry, we’ll be ready.

“I’m on a High” hits, and the heels walk back up the ramp, continually eyeing off Tony, Dan, and Bill Watts in the ring.

COLE
Oh my god!  The challenge has been accepted!  Saturday July 29th, OAOAST Syndicated, it will be a Ten Man Captain’s Fall Elimination match, the winners control the Presidency!

COACH
And look at the stars already involved!  Axel, Drek Stone, and Hoff on one side, Black T on the other!  There are still five spots to be filled!

COLE
Battle Royal still to come tonight!  I can’t believe this!
