KingPK 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2006 We head back to the Battlebowl drawing room where Mean Gene and Maria are in their usual position. GENE All right Maria, let's keep things rolling with our next matchup. Will you draw the first team please? A smiling Maria reaches into the drum and pulls out another envelope. MARIA The first member of team 1 is......ooh, time to take your Vitamin X! Vitamin X pumps his fist as he strides out of the locker room. Cut back to Maria as she reaches for the second name. MARIA And his partner is.....Mike Ge-ye-ro.....Gui-err-o.....Mike G.! Mike Guerriero gets a high five from Otaku II as he stands from his chair and walks out the door. GENE Ok, Maria. Who are their opponents? Maria draws another envelope. MARIA The first member of team 2 is........Peter Knight! Knight slaps his hands together and hops to his feet, disappearing out the door before anyone can offer him good luck. COACH You think Knight wants this, Cole? MARIA And his partner will be.......Longdogger Pete! The former S.....You-Know-Where star stands and adjusts his knee braces before walking out the door. We head back to the arena. COLE So our next matchup is set as we will see the in-ring return of Peter Knight as he teams up with the newcomer Longdogger Pete to take on Mike Guerriero and Vitamin X. As Cole speaks, we see Guerriero walking down the aisle, slapping the outstretched hands of the fans. Behind him, Vitamin X appears on the stage. The fans boo as VX cockily struts down the rampway and stops to do a little dance for an attractive female fan, who simply dismisses him with a wave. VX Your loss, babe. "BOOOOOOOYeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" A slightly mixed reaction greets Peter Knight as he appears on the stage alongside Longdogger Pete. They seem to be talking strategy, but Knight is doing all the talking at the moment. COLE I wonder what they are planning? COACH Knight's probably telling Pete to just let him handle it so LP doesn't break his hip. Vitamin X and Guerriero stand in their corner, though neither man seems to be paying attention to the other while Knight hops onto the apron and steps through the ropes. Pete walks up the ring steps and starts to step through the ropes, but Knight puts his hand up. COACH See, I told you. Knight slaps his hand against his chest and tells LP "I got this" as Vitamin X also sends his partner to the outside. The two then turn to face each other and VX rubs his hands together and smirks at the former champion while Knight simply puts on his game face. *DING DING* The two men circle the ring to size each other up before locking up for the first time. VX grabs a side headlock but Knight quickly turns it into a hammerlock. VX fires off a series of elbows to break the hold and runs towards the ropes. He bounces off and ducks a Knight clothesline and quickly turns to fire off a chop to Knight's chest.....but the big man barely flinches. He tries another chop, but Knight slowly shakes his head. VX bounces off the ropes and charges towards him.....but Knight scoops him up and drives him to the mat with a sidewalk slam. He drops down for a cover, but VX kicks out before referee Nick Patrick can get into position. "YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" COLE This New York crowd is loving things so far. VX gets to his knees holding his back. He turns towards his corner to find his partner lightly chuckling at his misfortune, so VX walks over and tags him in, telling him "[i]You[/i] do better!" Knight patiently waits for the switch before he sizes up his new opponent. COLE This should be interesting. Both these guys have a similar build and Guerriero likes to take it to the mat. The two lock up and Guerriero grabs a side headlock. Knight backs into the ropes and tries to push him off, but Mike hangs on, dropping to one knee before getting back to a vertical position. He takes him over and Knight lifts his legs to wrap them around Mike's head to break the hold and quickly pops to his feet to deliver an elbow but misses after which Guerriero tries an elbow of his own but hits nothing but canvas as well. Both men get back to their feet and slap on an agressive collar and elbow tie-up, both men jockeying for position. Knight backs Mike into the ropes and releases the hold on Patrick's order.....right before he drives his knee into his gut. He shoves Guerriero into the ropes and drives a few more knees into the midsection over the protest of Patrick. He grabs the wrist and shoots him off, ducking down for a backdrop, but Guerriero flips over him and looks for a sunset flip pin, but Knight sits on his chest and brings Mike's legs up behind him for a pin of his own. 1......but he kicks out. Both men scramble to their feet and pause, a cheer of appreciation rising from the crowd. COLE We don't see Mike Guerriero much lately, so it's easy to forget that he is a solid wrestler. COACH Who has the personality of lint. Longdogger stretches his hand out, wanting in on some of the action, but he doesn't even get a glance from his partner. They go to lock up again, but Mike ducks down at the last moment and picks Knight's right leg, sending him to the mat. Mike avoids Knight left leg kicks and wrenches the leg, adding in a few kicks to the back of the knee. COLE Guerriero's done his homework gere as it was the right leg that bothered Knight after School's Out. A month of rest helps, but if someone zeros in on it, it will cramp up in a hurry. COACH Where's this analysis coming from.....wait, what's that say at the top of that page? "An Idiot's Guide to Analysis" by Caboose? COLE Hey, he's helping me out. Knight grabs on to the bottom rope forcing Mike to break which he does cleanly. Longdogger once again tries to tag in, but Knight simply glances at him and turns his attention back to his opponent. Mike goes for another leg shoot, but this time Knight catches him and backs him into the corner, alternating body shots with chops to the chest before he whips him into the opposite corner and delivers a hard clothesline. Knight backs off as Guerriero slumps in the corner and is distracted by the clapping of his partner, who is antsy to get into the match. COLE Longdogger really wants to get into this one and I don't blame him; his partner's been ignoring him the whole match. COACH Knight's got it Cole, so Pete should just be thinking about what to get his grandson for his birthday. COLE The age jokes are going to get old...... COACH Just like Longdogger Pete! COLE *Sigh* Knight sneers at LP and turns his attention back to Guerriero too late as Mike surprises him by wrapping his arms around him and driving him to the mat with a belly to back suplex followed by a pair of elbowdrops and a cover. 1...... 2......but Knight kicks out. COLE Mike with a quick flurry of offense and a near fall. Guerriero grabs Knight by the hair and tags in Vitamin X, holding him so he can get a clear shot. VX makes a fist and kisses it, juking and jiving and wasting time as his partner screams for him to hit Knight already. VX steps in....but Knight boots him in the gut, knocking him back as he grabs Guerriero by the hair and tosses him through the middle rope. VX recovers and nails Knight with a jab as he turns back. He dances around the ring and hits another right jab to Knight's jaw before doing more jukin' and jivin'. COACH VX is getting ready for the knockout punch. VX spins his fist a la Shane McMahon and charges in for the kill...... *SMACK* But gets LEVELED by a Knight clothesline. "OHHHHHHH!!!" COLE I thought [i]Knight[/i] was the one that was supposed to get knocked out, Coach? Knight turns and, seeing Longdogger's hand outstretched once more, relents and finally tags him in. COLE And FINALLY Knight gives the newcomer a shot in this match. LP steps into the ring and immediately drags VX to his feet, backing him into the ropes and shooting him off to catch him with a Manhattan drop on the rebound followed by a clothesline to the mat. He covers. 1...... 2......but VX kicks out. LP gets back to his feet and stomps the chest of Vitamin X before backing into the ropes to get some momentum before he leaps (ok, hops) and drives his leg across the sternum. COACH The legdrop, favored move of elderly wrestlers everywhere. He covers again. 1....... 2.......but Guerriero comes in and pulls LP off by the leg to break the count. Knight comes in and grabs for Guerriero, sending both men tumbling to the floor. LP goes to pick VX up by the hair, but VX delivers a low blow to stun him. "BOOOOOOOOO!!!" COLE Vitamin X notices Patrick tied up with Knight and Mike and uses it to his advantage. Meanwhile, Guerriero is winning the brawl on the outside until Knight pokes him in the eye and shoves him into the post. In the ring, Vitamin X kicks Pete in the midsection and signals to the crowd. COACH He's looking for The X Spot! VX sprints towards the ropes and leaps onto the middle....but Knight hops onto the apron at the same time and nails him with a forearm, knocking VX to the mat and into Longdogger, who wraps him up and drills him into the mat with a double arm DDT. COLE The Longdogger Clogger! COACH What a stupid name for a finisher. He covers. 1...... 2...... 3!!! *DING DING* "YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" COLE And they advance to the battle royale! Longdogger thrusts his arms into the air as Knight steps back into the ring. BUFFER Lllladies and gentlemen, the winners of this match who will now advance to the Battlebowl Battle Royale......Longdogger Pete and Peterrrrr Kniiiight!!! Knight nods his head in satisfation after Buffer's announcement and allows Patrick to raise his arm. Longdogger slaps him on the shoulder and nods at him, which Knight barely recognizes as he makes for the ropes. Longdogger stops him and extends his hand, telling him "Good teaming with you", but Knight just looks at it and brushes past him, stepping out of the ring and pumping his fists in his own celebration, leaving his partner in the cold. COLE The least he could have done was shake the guy's hand. COACH Longdogger didn't cost them the match and Knight didn't have to end a career that should have ended years ago. I think that's enough for Knight. COLE Well, we've got two more entrants in our battle royale at the end of the night and we are about to find out two more. Back up to Mean Gene and Maria at the drawing room. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
