[The camera cuts to the familiar scene from the last Burning Effect running on a television screen backstage at The 52nd Street Armory.] CL: The guilt. February 20th, what do I do? The past or the present... *Ring!* ... [He buries his head in his hands.] *Ring!* ... CL: Which becomes my future? *Ring!* ... *Ring!* ... *Ring!* ... *Ring!* ... [Snapping out of deep contemplation, Charles finally picks up the phone.] CL: What else do you want, Detective? Voice: Detective? [A female's voice. _The_ female?] Voice: Oh no, silly... [She looses a maniacal laugh that's just oozing with sex...] CL: Hello? [Silence.] CL: [scared, curious, shell-shocked]: Hello? Who is this? Who is this? [Another mysterious, devious, seductive burst of laughter...] CL: Who the hell is this!? [... then a click.] CL: Hello? [Dial tone.] CL: Hello? [Desperately....] CL: HELLO!? [Pan back to reveal The Spectre, crouched in front of the screen with a hand to his chin.] Spectre: Interesting...very interesting... [The ghoulish wrestler takes out a cell phone (naturally black and somewhat the worse for wear) and brings it up to his face, dialing briefly.] Spectre (into the phone): Yes. We have need of you. How quickly can you be here? Excellent. [Closing his phone, Spectre smiles coldly at the screen, reaching out and lightly touching the anguished face of his prey.] Spectre: Soon, friend Lassiter. Soon. ############################### ############################### ## ## ## Phoenix Valley Wrestling ## ## Heatwave ## ## 02.20.08 ## ## ## ############################### ############################### [The screen fades to black for a split second. A red P appears followed by a yellow V and finally a red W. The logo is gone and we are ring side at 52nd Street Armory. The camera pick up on the two men who will breath life into the PVW with their words. On the left has a black sports coat, dress shirt and navy tie. He is a well groomed man in his early 30's with a black trimmed goatee. Mic in hand he is considered an up and coming play by play in wrestling, we introduce Chip Lester. To his right, we have confidence and arrogance. An older man in his mid 40's in an expensive golf shirt and slacks sits full of pride. He has short hair and the start of a receding hair line, a small pair of red shaded sun glasses sit firmly across his eyes. Somewhat new to the wild world of wrestling, but wont admit it sits "Putter" Preston Winfield. They sit just at ring side in front a pretty plain wooden table set. Stacks of paper sit in front of the two men as they await their que to begin.] CL: PVW is back on the air!!! I am Chip Lester and sitting next to me is the ever so infamous, Preston Winfield. Last week we saw a Champion crowned, this week we continue to steam roll into the world of Professional Wrestling! PW: That's right Chip! Last week Chase Williams outlasted fifteen other men and captured the PVW Heavyweight Championship. What an epic performance it was. While mammoths like Johnathon Monarch and Major Damage were sent packing there was one sly fox left at the end and that was indeed Chase Williams. CL: Chase Williams deserves all the congratulations in the world, but tonight he begins his path of being the hunted. It is unsure up to this point who will receive the first shot at the champion, but in our main event we will see four of those contenders face to face in a FANS CHOICE match! PW: I have to give the fans props on that one. Though I guess they want the 52nd Street Armory tore down. CL: There is that possibility, but either way the fans have spoken and Spectre, Cole, Major Damage, and Charles Lassiter will go head to head in tonights main event! [A female voice filters in over the PA.] "Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the top choice of them all?" [The female voice fades and is replaced by a male one] "You, you are, you conceited bastard..." "You, you are, you conceited bastard..." "You, you are, you conceited bastard..." [_MONSTER_ heel pop as "Conceited Bastard" by Rass Kass bumps the PA system. A single spotlight falls on the top of the ramp as it becomes clouded in smoke.] ##I created verb-noun pronunciation (The most beautifullest shit)## ##I make up like foundation, now who you facing?## ##The waterproof emcee,## ##Ras blessed the mic faster than Ramadan at mach 3## [The crowd heat builds as a silhouette appears first, pausing, and letting the tension build before emerging through the shroud of smoke like a golden god!] [ROOF-BLOWING HEEL POP!!!] PW: THE CHAMP IS _HERE_!!! ##Get off my dick, nigga## ##And tell your bitch to come here## ##And stick your dick in your eardrum and fuck what you heard (Yeah)## [The champ stands stoic atop the entryway, basking in the hatred from the crowd. Dressed in an immaculate gray pin-striped suit, his blonde hair is untethered and spills across his shoulders. Bronze oversized aviator style sunglasses hide his eyes. His reason for being, the Phoenix Valley Wrestling Heavyweight Championship looks like it belongs on his shoulder as it glitters in the spotlight. He smirks smugly at the crowd, as he thrust the title into the air!] ##Fa sheezy, articulate drama** ##Multiple lacerations between consecutive commas## ##I like my I'll nana wet, my martini dry## ##Whippin' a BMW 540-I (drunk driving Miss Daisy)## ##Devil in a blue dress packing heat## ##While I'm doing doughnuts in the middle of the street## [The man that everyone wishes they where finally begins a calculated ascent to the ring, half-strutting down the aisle with a confidence that seems to ooze from every pore, but careful to not let any of the filthy rabble in the aisle soil his perfection. He climbs the steps and slides between the ropes, striding to the center of the he pulls a mic from his jacket and throws the title over his shoulder.] "Take a good look peons. Your Heavyweight Champion stands before you." "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" [Chase pauses and turns his nose up to revel in the hatred from the crowd.] "Can you imagine the rush that the female population of the world gets when the Heavyweight Champion walks out on live television?"` [He arrogantly twirls for the camera, letting the ladies get a good look at perfection.] "Because lets face it, when you make in excess of a million dollars a year, when you ride in nothing but stretch limousines, and fly around in your own gulf stream, YOU'VE GOT THE BIGGEST HOUSE, ON THE BIGGEST HILL, IN THE BEST PART OF TOWN, AND YOU'VE GOT ANY WOMEN IN THE WORLD FALLING OVER HERSELF FOR A SECOND GLANCE FROM YOU..." [He pauses long enough to remove his glasses and arrogantly schmooze the camera.] "Well there isn't much else, is there? [More boos. What you expected an answer?] "But I can't expect you feeble minded people to know what it likes to live the life of a champion, at least you get a chance to brush with greatness when I deem you worthy of my presence. Now! [He removes his jacket and folds it over his arm.] "As your champion I have a certain responsibility to manage all fronts, and as much I don't care and already bloodied and disposed of this peasant, I would be remiss not to briefly mention a certain wet- behind the ears little punk that seems to have taken to trying to get noticed by questioning my methods. He's been walking around backstage under false pretenses, letting people get inside his head and he's starting to believe his own hype." [He flexes arrogantly for the camera.] "Don't let yourself think for one second that you can hang with this kid. I would laugh if it wasn't so pathetic. I don't need the luck of the Irish..." [Chase looks slightly perturbed as a "Foley" chant breaks out in the crowd, but he plays it off with a smirk.] "Chant all you want, he knows better than to come out here. This whole situation boils down to one thing. When I part that curtain and walk that aisle, I _AM_ the Pee Vee Dubya Heavyweight Champion, and no scrub like Foley will ever get his hands _my_ title as long as I'm breathing..." ["I'm Shipping Up To Boston" by The Dropkick Murphy'splays over the PA. as the arena fills with cheers. On the Shootfire Screens we see a graphic and it reads "From Dublin, Ireland" CALEB FOLEY] [Williams stands shocked and his face reddens as the blatant disrespect from Foley sets in.] "I'm a sailor peg And I lost my leg Climbing up the top sails, I lost my leg! I'm shipping up to Boston (Way Oh) I'm shipping up to Boston (Way Oh) I'm shipping up to Boston (Way Oh) I'm shipping off... to find my wooden leg" [Caleb stands at the entrance just bouncing to the beat of the music. He has his red hair buzzcut and an eager look on his face. Dressed in all black, from the kickpads to the boots and the jacket itself, Caleb begins to walk down the entrance when he stops, he bends down and pounds his knuckles to the ground as a huge pyro display goes off!!] [CROWD POPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!] [Foley heads toward the ring, he hops up onto the apron and jumps over the top rope catching himself on the second turnbuckle where he salutes the crowd, as they pop for him!! Foley asks for a microphone and he sits perched on the top ropes before addressing the first ever Phoenix Valley Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion, "Conceited Bastard" Chase Williams. A faint Foley chant can be heard...] Foley: "Sorry to interrupt your World Championship ceremony Chase but I feel I need to get something off my chest.." [Foley stares at Williams right in the eyes...] [MONSTER Face pop!] Foley: "You got LUCKY. Plain and simple you had LUCK on your side whether you want to admit it or not. But see Chase besides LUCK you also had something called FATE. You see you had both those things on your side but do you think it was LUCK or maybe perhaps it was FATE that we were in the victors of the very first ever PVW match. Do you think it was LUCK or FATE that you busted me open and then eliminated me. Do you think it was LUCK or FATE that we are in this ring right here right now. So Chase I have a question for you... [Foley directs his direction to Chase's World Heavyweight Title...] Foley: "Do you believe in FATE and do you feel LUCKY?" [Foley doesn't wait for an answer and turns his back to the World Champion. Chase for his part, looks about ready to put his title through the back of Foley's head but instead just smirks and shakes his head.] "You know something Caleb? There was a time in my career when I would've left you face down in a pool of your own blood for even coming out here, let alone interrupting my championship coronation, and spouting off a bunch of nonsense.. Fortunately for you, I'm not the same hot head I used to be. This is your _one_ and _only_ warning. I'm _allowing_ you to walk up that aisle and not end your career right here and now, out of respect for this..." [He holds up the title to a mild pop from the crowd.] "But if you actually believe _any_ of the crap you just sputtered to me a second ago, You're dead where you stand. I got _lucky?_ You're a funny [beeping] guy Foley. You should take up comedy. It's something to fall back on after I cripple your ass if you dare stick your snotty little nose in my business again." "Fate and luck are crutches that pathetic never will bes like _you_!" [Big heel pop!] "and your precious fans..." [He arrogantly sweeps an arm across the arena.] "Use when you actually manage to accomplish anything. True champions, born and bred, don't need excuses, because we simply... _Don't_..." [Beat...] "_Fail_." ["Conceited Bastard" plays again as Chase sneers at Foley who finally disappears beyond the curtain. Williams soon slides out himself, and the boos follow him up the aisle.] PW: Caleb Foley is lucky he's not dead! The audacity to interrupt the champion, Williams will tan his hide! CL: He's got guts Preston. He wants Chase to know he isn't afraid. PW: Let's see what this kid can do on his own later tonight. CL: Speaking of action, Herk Douglas has entered the ring and we are ready to kick the night off. HD: Introducing first from right here in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona. Weighing in at 205 pounds and standing at 5 foot 11. ' A R I Z O N A K I D ' F R E D D Y T R A V I S ! ! ! ! [An upbeat guitar solo hits the PA system. The native youngster emerges from the back of the 52nd Street Armory. He has on a white wrestling singlet with a red outline of the state of Arizona. He slaps the palms of the fans as he trots to the ring. He turns towards the front row fans before making his way into the ring and pumps a fist in the air hyping up the home town fans. He then turns and dives under the bottom ropes and in one fluid motion leaps to his feet.] [The smooth intro of Common's "Southside" pumps out from the PA system. The fans let loose with a modest pop.] # La, la, la, la, la - and everybody say # # La, la, la, la, la - I know you, I know you... # HD: Coming to the ring at this time ... [The bass heavy, upbeat track finally kicks in ...] # I know you're thinking, thinking that it must be # # Armor-All flow 'cause it never get rusty # # I ain't gotta say it, man dawg trust me # # Bust somebody head, G.L.C. where was we? # HD: ... from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 222 pounds, here is - C D K A B D U L L A H ! ! ! ! [CKD Abdullah enters the arena, garbed in a black headband, black singlet, black pants with white stripes, black boots, black elbow pads on both elbows, and padded black gloves. The fans cheer as the young African American grappler storms towards ringside.] # Still rock the Prada 'fore that, rock the Starter # # Ni**as had the Georgetown, the Magic way harder # # Thinking back to the projects, and they way they tore 'em all up # # Like when I do a project, and come back and tear the mall up # [Inside the ring, CKD Abdullah climbs to the second turnbuckle and gazes out at the crowd. He raises both arms triumphantly.] # We coming from the.. # # South (side), South (side) # # South (side), South (side) # # South (side), South (side) # # South (side), Side of the Chi # [He then springs off the turnbuckle and prepares for action.] CL: We don't have a lot of information on Abdullah right now, but I am told he has an interesting wrestling style. A mix between technically sound and martial arts. PW: He doesn't show all that much emotion does he. [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] Singles Action, 15 Minute Time Limit: CDK Abdullah v. 'Arizona Kid' Freddy Travis [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] <<< DING DING >>> CL: The bell has been sounded and the match is under way. Abdullah walks straight forward as Travis begins bobbing and weaving. Travis with a quick jab and another... Abdullah still moves straight forward. Travis sends Abdullah into the ropes and a Spinning heel kick by CDK!!!! PW: That was pretty much out of nowhere! [CDK Abdullah pulls Travis up and quick snap kick followed by another... Travis is bent over and Ipponzei!!!] CL: Abdullah quickly back up and as Travis reaches to his feet busaiku kick!!!!!!! Travis crumbled like a cheap violin... ONE ... TWO ... PW: Apparently not enough as The Arizona kid with a shoulder up. CL Abdullah pulls the hometown youngster up and a big chop.... Another and he backs Travis up against the ropes, He goes to whip him across.... Reversed! [Travis leapfrogs as Abdullah rebounds... Travis drops to the ground as Abdullah shoots across, Travis is up and connects with a picture perfect drop kick. The Arizona kid quickly on his feet and as Abdullah reaches up Cross body block!] ONE ... TWO ... CL: Abdullah with a strong kick out. Both men up, OUCH!! PALM STRIKE BY CDK ABDULLAH!!! He has Travis back into the corner and KNEE... KNEE... ELBOW... Travis drops to his knees and Abdullah backs up and takes off running... [He absolutely dismantles Travis with a running soccer-style kick to the face of Freddy Travis.] PW: This guy is brutal. He has a take no prisoners type mind frame. CL: Abdullah is locking on a double chickenwing and lifts Freddy Travis up in an elevated position!!!! Travis is holding on not giving up.... }} [POP!!!!!] CL: ELEVATED DOUBLE CHICKENWING INTO A SIT-OUT FACEBUSTER THIS COULD BE IT!!! ONE ... TWO ... THREE !!! PW: NO, Travis _just_ gets his shoulder up! CL: That was close. CDK Abdullah quickly back on the offense and has pulled Travis up into a Ranhei... ONE ... TWO ... PW: Another kick out by Travis. The kid has a lot of heart... Just isn't the greatest inside that ring. CL: The fans are a bit torn on who to root for here. Travis is a hometown kid, but Abdullah's aggressive style is quite popular here tonight. Both men up and Travis with a little burst!! Quick jabs and a kick to the midsection.... He whips Abdullah into the corner with an Irish Whip!!! Travis charges... MONKEY FLIP!!!!!!! [The Arizona Kid quickly on the top ropes and as Abdullah is getting to his feet he leaps, CDK just ducks out of the way and Travis hits the mat. Travis slowly tries to push himself up, but he is absolutely CRUMBLED as Abdullah charges in with an enzu elbow smash...] CL: Travis is out of it! That was a devastating elbow smash into the back of the youngsters skull. PW: A move like that can give a guy an concussion. CL: CDK Abdullah quickly locks on the Black Dragon Clutch otherwise known as an inverted cloverleaf.... The Arizona Kid has just enough sense left in him to quickly tap out as CDK Abdullah drops the hold. PW: Wow an impressive debut! [Referee, Jay O'Riley raises the hand of the warrior known as CDK Abdullah the fans applaud his impressive debut inside the PVW gladiator circle with respect.] CL: CDK Abdullah has arrived in Phoenix and he means business! PW: He is going to give a few head aches around here. CL: Abdullah is a welcomed addition to the PVW roster. Another much anticipated match tonight is when Paul Styles steps into the ring with the hero, Chris Hartt. Rob Cole has been training Chris Hartt preparing him for a match with the wrestling icon. It will be interesting to see how, The Paladin uses it to overcome the stable of tricks from the Rolemodel. PW: There hasn't been that many men in this industry who has out smarted Paul Styles. Rob Cole is one of the few. Chris Hartt better have listened to him or he will end up like the rest. [The piano exit to Layla by Derek and the Dominos plays over the sound system as the crowd turn towards the entrance from the locker room as “Rolemodel” Paul Styles and Carl Stevenson emerge. They are both greeted with a loud, drawn out, rumble of displeasure from the crowd. Paul, dressed in the same “Sweater vest, dress shirt, slacks, and dress shoes” outfit he wrestles in. Carl sports a three piece suit and carries a locked briefcase. Carl heads towards the ring as Paul slowly follows down the aisle speaking with fans along the way] [Johnathan Monarch is a few steps behind Paul, dressed in a dark dress shirt and dress vest over a pair of matching suspenders. He doesn't pay much attention to the crowd and just seems to be chilling as he heads towards the ring checking stuff out (fans, signs, etc.). Once at the ring, he climbs the steps to join Carl and Paul inside where Carl is holding a microphone as the music dies down] Carl Stevenson: Alright Johnathan… I've been asked repeatedly by the PVW front office about your opinion of their Blood Bowl event for the fans. So… how do you feel? Johnathan Monarch: How do I feel? I lost the match so I'm not too big a fan of the event to be honest, Carl. My problem isn't with losing a battle royal though. I can deal with losing a match. I'm a professional… [Johnathan is distracted momentarily by Paul Styles wandering along the ropes in front of him smiling at the girls at ringside] JM: We… are professionals, we don't take a loss personally. What I'm not a big fan of is five men teaming up against me during a battle royal. The pivotal rule of a battle royal is it being every man for himself. It’s the entire point of a battle royal! I didn't lose a Blood Bowl battle royal. I lost a handicap match that broke out in the middle of it. [Johnathan pauses and slightly nods to the crowd to back it up] JM: Williams, Lassiter, Spectre, Embrey… those guys did great in their handicap match against me. But I don't plan on wrestling in many more handicap matches. So the next time I find one of those men in the ring they probably wont have their partners, and if I have a few minutes to spare at the time, I'll put them in the hospital. [Paul nods at the suggestion and gives Johnathan a thumbs up with a serious expression on his face from across the ring. Johnathan responds with a thumbs up, with an equally serious expression, back before continuing] JM: That’s what I'm owed. Those guys went against the professional wrestlers code when they teamed up in a battle royal and that is what has to happen to make it right. It might not happen next week but at some point it will happen… I don't forget. CS: And it likely isn't going to happen tonight because we're busy with the first paladin we've wrestled in our careers, Chris Hartt… that’s Hartt with two Ts. PS: Chris Hartt, the classic fairy tale of the unknown rookie trying to make it big! The only problem is Chris The Paladin has no experience, talent, or potential and has to make up for it with a lot of heart. And while that makes for a great Paladin story their isn't enough heart a overcome a world class athlete like Paul Styles. Not even a big Paladin Hartt could do that… even with two Ts. [the unpleasant rumble from the crowd starts to increase as Paul looks to Carl who only responds with an uninterested shrug] PS: So Chris… later tonight you bring all the Paladinity you have to the ring and we'll see what you got. No random lottery partner, no battle royal, just The Paladin and The Rolemodel… and it sounds like The Paladin is out of his league. [The piano exit to Layla, by Derek and the Dominos starts to play as Johnathan comes up and pats Paul on the back. Carl returns the microphone to the ring announcer before all three men leave the ring and return to the locker room, each with the same reactions to the fans as when they entered] CL: Full of confidence as usual. However as expected he has failed to mention, Rob Cole. PW: Why does he need to. He has been there and beaten him. No glory in doing it again. CL: You'd think he would like to answer the strong words the Outcast has said about him. Also don't forget Rob Cole has also beaten Paul Styles so that goes both ways. It's obvious there is still a little unfinished business there. PW: Yesterdays news. [The locker room is quiet as Rob Cole continues to tape his fists for the match this evening. Across from him, Chris Hartt warms up for his own match with Paul Styles. The two men are silent with one another for a few moments before Hartt breaks the moment… ] Hartt: So...you think I got a real shot at this? I really appreciate all you've shown me lately. Despite what everyone else says about you, I kinda consider you a real friend... Cole: I'm not your friend. I'm not your buddy. We ain' about to take a warm hot shower in the wee hours of the night, and we sure as hell ain't about to hold hands and skip to the loo… you want to know why I'm helpin' you? Paul Styles doesn't even see you as a work out… he doesn't see you as anything more than some pathetic little man trying to play in the realm of the Gods. It would humiliate him to lose… it would absolutely embarrass and humiliate him to concede that you beat him. That's why I'm helping you, Hartt… that's why I gave you those tips, worked you out in the ring, and gave the benefit of my experience with Styles. Hartt: But...this guy's a joke! He's all show, no go! He just talks a big game and then turns tail and hides! What kind of challenge is that? He thinks *I'm* nothing? At least I can go out there and work a good match! I've got lots of skills! Cole: Don't think he's all talk… don't even pretend he's all talk. He's a former champion… he's beaten me without luck or interference, and he can just as quickly snatch a win out of you the moment you underestimate what he's capable of. He's dirty, he's rotten, and he gets the job done… tonight, you have the chance to either slap the taste out of his mouth or become just another statistic. Hartt: I'm ready to go out there and show him who the best damn technical wrestler in this company truly is! I'm not a joke. I'm not someone to overlook, either. NOBODY in this company better look at me that way anymore! [Cole finishes taping his wrists and looks up to stare at Hartt… there's anger there, hatred, and fury. The Outcast gets to his feet, rolling his neck before a knock at the door interrupts what he's about to say… a stagehand comes in. Stagehand: Mr. Hartt? There's someone on the phone for you… she sounds a little worried and wants to talk to you. Cole: You've got to be kidding me. Hartt: I'd better go take this. I think I know who that is... Cole: Go… talk… keep your mind on the game. I have to put myself in my own match, tonight… and it's probably better that you not be here when I do that. Remember, Chris… I'm not a nice guy. Don't thank me, don't wish me luck, and never forget what I do to people in the ring… I will do it to you if I have to and if the opportunity ever comes up. Are we clear on it? Hartt: FIne. We're clear. I'm sorry it's so impossible for you to let your guard down and allow yourself to have a friend once in a while. When the time comes and we're in that ring, there'll be nothing between us but the need to kick the high holy crap out of each other. I won't reflect on any "old times" nor will I expect anything but the animosity you're renowned for carrying against all human life. Take care of yourself. I guess it's what you're best at. [Cole suddenly snaps, smashing his forearm into the locker… ] Cole: NO!!!! NO!!!! NO!!!!! GET OUT!!! GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW!!! You maggot piece of filth… I will tear out your innards and shove them down your throat!!! GET OUT!!!! [The stagehand and Hartt back out of the door in a hurry, the camera following as furniture begins to fly. Roaring screams and brutal crashing can be heard in the locker room as Cole continues to rant and rave… ] Stagehand: That guy is sick in the head… Hartt: That's what makes him the monster under your bed. [Fade back to a priceless look across both Chip Lester and Preston Winfield's faces. When they realize they are on the air they quickly continue with the show.] PW: Rob Cole isn't as stable as Chris Hartt thought. I could have told him that! CL: The Hartt and Styles match has all the writing to be one of the best matches inside the PVW up to date. HD: Introducing From Tombstone, Arizona... Led to the ring by the lovely Varsity.... Standing at six foot five and weighing in at two hundred and eighty pounds... H O R S E T H I E F ! ! ! ["The Devil in Miss Jones" by Mike Ness begins to play over the PA system. The first to emerge is the gum-chewing blonde bombshell Varsity. She is quickly joined by the big and scruff Horse Thief. Horse Thief has a tall and solid frame. Clad in brown pants with a long belt strap hanging and a huge belt buckle. His boots are dirty and so is his messy black hair. A red bandana sits over his face and black gloves cover hands. The two make their way to the ring.] CL: Horse Thief looking to get on a roll here tonight. PW: Nobody can overcome the six fingered man! HD: His opponent, wrestling out of Dublin, Ireland. Standing at 6 foot 1 and weighing in at 215 pounds. ' F I G H T I N G I R I S H M A N ' C A L E B F O L E Y ! ! ! !

CL: Foley with a shoulder up. PW: What has gotten into Horse Thief he rushing out here looking to pick up a quick victory. CL: He came out with a lot of hype and thus far he hasn't lived up to it. Perhaps the Horse Thief is looking to make up for some lost time. [Horse Thief lifts Foley up again, but Foley slides behind the much larger man. A chop across Thief's chest... Another stiff chop! Caleb Foley hits the ropes and leaping forearm takes Horse Thief off his feet! The Fighting Irishman waits for Horse Thief to get to his feet and a low dropkick right to the kneecap of Horse Thief!] CL: Caleb Foley now working that right knee over and drops an elbow! Varsity is on the outside slamming her fist on the mat attempting to fire her man up. Horse Thief back up, but a running kneelift by Caleb Foley. PW: Caleb Foley is fired up tonight! CL: He sure is Preston and he is climbing the ropes. He leaps into a big double leg drop - [BOOO, No body home! Foley does the constipated look as he lands squarely on the mat. Horse Thief lifts him up and big vertical suplex! Hits the ropes and knee right into the midsection. Horse Thief bends down with that big hand of his and begins choking the life out of Caleb Foley. Referee Duke Martin begins counting, but it falls on deaf ears!] CL: Horse Thief choking Caleb Foley with that big right hand of his. PW: ALL SIX FINGERS!

CL: The picture perfect 450 splash known as Irish Eyes are smiling seals the deal for the youngster out of Dublin, Ireland. PW: This is so sad. I had so much hope for Horse Thief and his six fingers... If he keeps this up he will be nothing more then a myth. An after thought. CL: Caleb Foley picks up a huge win as he fights his way to the top and a match with rival, Chase Williams. PW: He is only a rival inside Foley's mind. I mean who wouldn't want to rival the champ? Chase has bigger fish to fry. CL: Either way an impressive win by Caleb Foley. You might want to roll with this later on .. have the announcers confirm that Outlaw did NOT get a title shot... [Cut to the jobbers locker room. The Arizona Kid is sitting in a corner, shoulder hunched, noticeably unhappy.] Masked Maniac: Cheer up little buddy. You did good. You made us Jobbers proud. Jason Dynamite: Yeah Kid. At least you were on the card tonight. [A murmur of agreement from the rest of the jobbers.] Masked Maniac: You'll get him next time. You'll see. [The locker room door busts open. The jobbers turn towards the door as Outlaw steps into the locker room. His duffel bag trails behind him, dragging on the floor.] Brian Masters: [under his breath] Not this guy again. [Outlaw slumps down on a bench, dropping his bag to the floor. He lets out a loud sigh.] [silence..] [He looks around the room again, waiting for a response. Getting none, he sighs loudly again.] Masked Maniac: Is everything ok? Outlaw: Does it [bleep] look like everything is [bleep] ok? Masked Maniac: Uh.. No? Outlaw: Exactly. So [bleep] get this. Did any of you guys [bleep] realize that in a Blood Bowl you're NOT supposed to go over the [bleep] top rope? [The jobbers collectively nod their heads.] Outlaw: Why the [bleep] didn't anyone [bleep] tell me? Jason Dynamite: Kind of assumed you knew? Outlaw: Well [bleep], you guys should [bleep] know better than that. Here I [bleep] was in full control of the [bleep] Blood Bowl. I had already [bleep] tossed out Bobby Cole, and [bleep] Major Damage, and everything was [bleep] going great. I even had [bleep] Paul Styles begging for [bleep] mercy. Masked Maniac: Uh, Paul Styles was replaced by Jonathan Monarch, no? [He looks at the other jobbers to get confirmation. They nod.] Outlaw: That's what I [bleep] said. So everything is going [bleep] great. I'm about to [bleep] crush Chase [bleep] Williams, when I noticed Mike Chrisson [bleep] standing around like a [bleep] moron. Arizona Kid: Chris Michaelson? Outlaw: At least someone's [bleep] listening. So I [bleep] launch myself from like forty [bleep] feet in the air and [bleep] nail that [bleep]. Ed Green: The Golden One? I think you mean the Golden SUCK! [Outlaw cocks his head to the side and stares at Green.] Outlaw: I like your [bleep] style. So anyways, I [bleep] kill this guy, and the ref tells me I'm out of the [bleep] Blood Bowl? What the [bleep]? Masked Maniac: Sounds like you were robbed. Outlaw: You're [bleep] right I was. So after the show, I go find the [bleep] owner Jason Dynamite: You talked to Dex Willingham?!? Ed Green: No way! Arizona Kid: Dex is awesome, I still haven't gotten a meeting with him wait. Gene Gaines: Is he really as smart as everyone says? Brian Masters: Is he really as funny as everyone says? Masked Maniac: Is he really as dreamy as everyone says? [Everyone stops and stares at Masked Maniac. An awkward silence.] Masked Maniac: I mean.. uh.. as tough as everyone says? [The awkward moment continues..] Outlaw: Riiiiiight. [bleep] moving along now. So I'm [bleep] talking to Tex. Brian Masters: Dex. Outlaw: [bleep], pay attention. So I'm [bleep] talking to Dex, and I [bleep] say to him. "What the [bleep]". Jason Dynamite: You didn't. Outlaw: [bleep] right I did. So he says, "What seems to be the problem." And I [bleep] say, "What's with the [bleep] stupid [bleep] rule. Nobody [bleep] told me about it." So he looks me [bleep] over right. Masked Maniac: Right. Outlaw: Then he [bleep] says. "All the participants were re-explained the rules before the match". I was all "[bleep] hat, I wasn't [bleep] told anything." And then he has the never to [bleep] say, "You might be right, I believe at that time you were busy stealing the PVW Championship belt." Brian Masters: Wonder where he got that idea from. Outlaw: So I [bleep] realized the [bleep] guy is insane. ME stealing a [bleep] title belt? Please. Brian Masters: Preposterous. Outlaw: That's what I [bleep] said. So I got the [bleep] out of his office at that point, because lets be [bleep] honest here, some people are out of their [bleep] minds. Arizona Kid: So now what? Outlaw: Well before I [bleep] left I managed to convince him to give me a [bleep] title shot against Chase [bleep] Williams. Arizona Kid: No way! You have a title shot? Outlaw: Of course I [bleep] do. It just has to be [bleep] made official. But after that, Chase [bleep] Williams is mine! Brian Masters: Uh huh. I'll believe that when I see it. Outlaw: So anyways, just wanted to let you [bleep] guys know that I won't [bleep] forget you when I'm at the [bleep] top of PVW after I beat Chase [bleep] Williams. Arizona Kid: That's great! Can I get a title shot after you win ? Outlaw: [bleep] right Kid. [bleep] right. [Outlaw gets up and grabs his bag. ] Outlaw: Gotta [bleep] go guys. I've got some [bleep] friends coming by tonight. [Outlaw walks out of the room.] [Masters turns towards the Kid.] Brian Masters: you do realize he doesn't actually have a title shot right? Arizona Kid: But he said he did. Brian Masters: If he has a title shot, I've got a bridge to sell you. [Cut back to the announcers.] PW: Wait a second here Chip. Does Outlaw actually have a title shot? CL: I don't know. I think we'll need to talk to some of the higher ups. Dex Willingham is a man of the people, and he wants to keep them entertained. It's conceivable he would give Outlaw a shot at the title.

CL: Both men slowly circling one another … [The two men lock up in the center of the ring. Rose pushes Jones into the corner. Referee Chris Cole ordering for the break, but Ian responds with a stiff elbow to Jones’ jaw after which he steps back with a smirk on his face as Jones feels his jaw. Rose motions for the youngster to lock up again and Jones does just that. This time Jones powers Rose into the corner and once again Chris Cole orders for a break and Jones responds with an elbow to Rose’s jaw. Jones mouths payback.] CL: Rose doesn't seem to happy as he charges from the corner … PW: Jones connects with a drop toe hold and is quickly to his feet.

Rose quickly grabs Jones by the arm and whips him across the ring.] PW: Rose with a picture perfect standing dropkick. And like the veteran he is, Ian drops an elbow into chest of Jones and drags him to his corner where he tags in Andrew Stevens.

The UFOs are completely outclassed here. [Stevens points at Ellis in a mocking manner as he pulls Jones to his feet and whips him into the corner where Rose is standing. Andrew walks towards Bones and begins to jaw jack with him as Rose begins to choke Jones with the tag rope.] CL: COME ON REF! Rose is chocking the life out of Jones in the corner. PW: Well if Bones would have left Andrew alone the ref would be able to do his job correctly. [Andrew shoves Bones to the mat and turns around rushing across the ring and driving his shoulder into the gut of Apollo Jones. Stevens quickly tags in Rose who grabs Jones by the arm and drives a chop into the chest of Jones.] PW: That looks like it stung. And Rose follows up with a second chop to Jones’ chest.

But Rose is close to the ropes and grabs them forcing the referee Chris Cole to begin the five count on Ellis. PW: Ellis finally breaks the hold at four and locks on a side head lock. CL: Yet, Rose with a side suplex separating Ellis. PW: Look at the awareness of Rose as he rolls to his corner making a quick tag to Stevens. [Stevens is quickly in the ring and connects with a low dropkick to the knee of Ellis as he attempts to get to his feet.

Is Paul Styles still sore over a missed spot? PW: If Apollo Jones can't hit the right target then he shouldn't be trying all those funky moves. CL: Well they are the unrivaled Funky Ones. PW: Before we get to the next match I want to clarify something for all the PVW fans. I had my sources in the back look into the supposed Outlaw title match against Chase Williams and it is not going to happen. I repeat Outlaw does not have a future title match against Williams. CL: Thanks for the clarification Preston. I guess sometimes you can come through with important information. The Funky Ones are on their feet now and the fans cheering them as they head back up the ramp way. Big win by Jones and Ellis as they defeat Sexual Energy.

I know she's been calling you scumbag!!! [One of the larger contracted security guards holds Souza back.] Security guy: Calm down, RJ. You are not a part of this match.

[Getting free, RJ Souza begins to climb into the ring, but the assigned PVW referee, Max Kelly steps in front of the upset superstar.] Kelly: RJ, I have orders to keep you from ringside. If you interfere with this match you will forfeit any chance you have at Chris Hartt, because you will be suspended from action inside the PVW. Go and grab a seat if you want, but touch anyone and you will find yourself with out a paycheck. ["Souza Sucks" chant starts up as RJ shakes his head in anger. Souza backs away slowly looking at Hartt and drops to the outside setting a chair up near the time keeper.] PW: I guess Souza has made it his business tonight. What is this about Hartt hitting on his wife? CL: Chris Hartt is an upstanding guy. HD: His opponents... Introducing from, Toronto, Ontario.

Paul is slim but fit build, Clean and proper, He has on a dress shirt, dress pants and lace up dress shoes. The legendary trio head down the isle way ignoring the jeers from the fans. Every so often one will get under Paul's skin and Carl Stevenson will shout at him to keep their hands away from Paul. Finally they reach ring side. The first to walk up the steps is Carl Stevenson followed by Paul Styles. The two enter the squared circle where they prepare.] CL: Hartt is a little out numbered here. Even though Souza has orders to stay out of the match the Royal Family is down at ring side and in numbers! PW: Oh, woe is Hartt... who cares? If any of them get involved in the match, Hartt takes the win... if Hartt is better than Styles, like he claims to be, than Hartt will win. Where's the disadvantage? Seems to me that Styles has to contend not only with his opponent but with the over enthusiasm of some three guys at ringside... plus, you never know what Cole might wind up doing!

Styles circles, but Hartt shoots right in there for the takedown! Styles forced to the mat, and he back crawls to the ropes... I don't think he expected Hartt to just shoot in like that! Referee calls for a break, and Hartt back to his feet... watching Styles like a hawk! PW: Veterans don't usually shoot in like that... so Styles was probably expecting more of a feeling out period, not for a big dive like that one. Crawling back to the ropes forces Hartt to break his own momentum, and it gives Styles a chance to breathe. CL: Styles back to his feet... Hartt shoots in, but Styles sidesteps and rushes his own corner! Referee getting between him and Hartt. PW: The veteran is only too happy to play this kind of game with Hartt... slowing down the pace and frustrating the youngster! Hartt went through all the trouble of working with Cole, only to find out that Styles can play Russian bulldog with the best of them! CL: Styles circles and Hartt moves in again, but Styles ducks the lock up and puts himself against the ropes again! Styles moves in, but the referee backs him up once more... Monarch on the apron! Hartt turns, and here comes Styles! Chop block brings Hartt down to the mat, and the Rolemodel yanks that leg up... and drops an elbow across the knee! Up again... and down!!! And once more!

Styles stunned at the speed of Hartt's recovery... backing to the corner, but Chris follows him all the way in and delivers a kick to the gut! Front chancery, into a beautiful suplex! PW: Give credit where it's due, this kid got toughened up this past week... not many guys are willing to gut out some knee damage in order to execute these types of moves! CL: And now it's Chris Hartt's turn to slow things down, applying a top wrist lock to the kneeling veteran... Hartt with all the leverage here as Styles refuses to submit!

And another one... and before the Family can get around the ring, Hartt throws the Rolemodel back in!

Another one! He forces Styles against the ropes, sends him rushing with an irish whip... snapping armdrag! Styles rolls back to his feet, clutching that arm as Hartt moves in... SINGLE ARM DDT!!!! PW: I can't believe how aggressive Chris Hartt has been in this match... and I'm starting to notice the pattern as Chris just seems to be targeting Styles' arm throughout the evening!

CL: Close count, and Styles isn't happy that this match isn't over... he pulls Hartt to his feet, and drills him beneath the chin with an elbow!! Another shot!!! And he goes for the leg... legbreaker across the knee! Hartt falls to the mat and Styles yanks the leg up... and drops down with elbow across the knee once again! PW: Classic strategy for a ring veteran... isolate the joint, work it over, and warm it up for a good old fashion submission hold! This is why Paul Styles is such a ring general! CL: Rolls Hartt to his stomach... and stomps on the back of the leg! Another stomp! Hartt tries to roll back over, but Styles snatches an ankle... stump puller!!!! PW: Beautiful!

Monarch rushes around the ring... and snatches up the Louisville slugger from Souza, who holds up his hands.] CL: Hartt ignores the antics of Carl Stevenson, and the referee continues to check on Styles... Styles lifting his hand, considering the tap out as Hartt hooks in that cross-face chickenwing in the center of the ring... Styles with no leverage, face down as he is! Wait a minute!!!! PW: Monarch throws the Slugger in the ring! [The referee intercepts the slugger, and begins to yell at Monarch who drops from the apron. Styles starts to tap out wildly, and Hartt releases the hold and raises both arms... stopping, however, when he notices the referee is holding Louisville with his back to the competitors!] PW: Hartt pointing at Souza, though! Souza didn't do a thing... CL: He certainly didn't stop Monarch... PW: Stopping Monarch would have been interfering! [Styles continues to clutch his wounded shoulder as Carl tosses him the brass knuckles... Styles nods, doesn't bother to fit it around his fists and NAILS Hartt from behind!] CL: The referee doesn't see the brass knuckles... and Styles makes the cover in desperation!!!! ONE ... TWO ... THREEEEEEE !!! PW: He did it!!! Paul Styles overcame the training of Rob Cole and buried another wannabe in the graveyard... Paul Styles continues to rise in the ranks of the PVW!!!! [Styles doesn't wait for the announcement, he just rolls out of the ring and raises his non-wounded arm as Stevenson snatches the brass knuckles away and keeps them out of sight. He pulls his client back up the ramp as Hartt rolls to his knees, clutching the back of his head... staring after the Rolemodel with absolute hatred!] CL: It was a well fought match, and Hartt certainly showed everyone that he has the heart of a.... DEAR LORD!!!! [The crowd erupts into a chorus of boos as R.J. Souza NAILS Chris Hartt from behind with the Slugger! Hartt slumps to the mat and Souza stands over his prone body, his eyes cold as he stares down at his former friend. He lifts the baseball bat and clutches it in both hands... DRIVING DOWN INTO THE BASE OF HARTT'S SKULL AGAIN!!!!] PW: I don't believe it... I thought these two were like brothers! I can't believe Hartt would go after another man's wife... this is horrible!

I'LL END YOUR CAREER BEFORE YOU TOUCH HER AGAIN!!!! YOU HEAR ME?!?!!" Souza shoves Hartt down, blood pooling from the wounds to the back of his head... his face soon wet from the puddle as Souza continues to stand over him, eyes cold as he regards his fallen friend. A man he once considered his brother.] CL: What's this!?!?! [Destiny Souza rolls into the ring screaming for Souza to stop. RJ Souza rolls out of the ring and slowly backs up the isle way. Destiny bends over checking on Chris Hartt, every so often looking up at RJ with a look of half disappointment half confusion.] PW: Okay now things are just getting weird. CL: RJ Souza has lost it. He is scheduled to face Johnny Oakes later and we have no idea what kind of mind frame he will be in. PW: From the looks of it a loose canon. CL: Chris Hartt and RJ Souza were like brothers they stood side by side and now for some unknown reason, RJ Souza has pinpointed Chris Hartt and taken years of frustration out on him. I hope Destiny can talk some sense into him. PW: Mans rule numero uno... Never mess with another man's wife. CL: I highly doubt that Chris Hartt has placed a finger on Destiny Souza. Both of them are loyal figures in his life. PW: Apparently Chris Hartt isn't anymore. [Cut to show the back hallway of the Armory, where three men carrying briefcase wear gray suits while walking.

His buddy (let's call him Mama Lawyer) is about the same height, but handsome, fit and kinda buff. The smallest (let's call him Baby Lawyer) is still above average height, but has shocking red hair with white streaks, matching beard, and wears a neck brace. Okay, all jokes relating bears to lawyers aside, it's Livestock and the Gutch with their manager Zeke. Livestock Zappa (Mama Lawyer ... dammit) is the first to speak up.] Livestock: Okay, so we don't have a match this week, so I was thinking we should probably go over the contract with that studio for putting PVW matches on those cheap-ass “Legends of Wrestling” DVDs. It's not a bad deal, financially, but we need to do a cost-benefit analysis to figure out if its benefits to our clients outweigh the stigma of having our product sold in the “dollar bins” at “the Wal-Marts”. [Next the Baby Lawyer, er, Broderick Ezekiel Craven, speaks up, his middle aged salt-and-Cheyenne pepper beard bristling.] Zeke: Good gravy man, are you serious? The show is going on right now and you want to focus on drudgery? That paperwork can be done any time! [Finally fat old Papa Lawyer, AKA Gutch Bartilucci. Now all we need is an analogue for Goldilocks.] Gutch: Well, what you want us to do? I guess we could pummel some random dude with our 'cases or somethin'... Zeke: No, no, nothing so pedestrian. Lord, I don't know, just something to get us noticed so that you two morons can spend more time busting heads and less time getting the details wrong on paperwork... Livestock: Hey! Zeke: Okay, so Gutch makes most of the mistakes, but still! Gutch: Hey, I hadn't eaten that day. Anybody could've made that mistake. Zeke: You put in a plea ... of not guilty ... due to TOTINOS PIZZA ROLLS, Gutch! ??: Errraerrrmm... [Your usual 'excuse me' noise. As the men turn they have been approached by the Jimmy Lane and Steven Hayes otherwise known as the Thrillers. They stand there with their chest puffed out attempting their best to look tough. Joining them rather slowly is Samuel Cunningham. The 56 year old southern gentleman is decked out in a white suit, but still sports the neck brace thanks to that dastardly Darius Walker!] Cunningham: I am sorry to interrupt, but I hear you are the boys to see if you want to get a little justice around here. Lane: I told ya boss we would take care of - [Quickly cutting Jimmy Lane off.] Cunningham: I told you to be quiet. [The respectful southern man turns back to the trio. Who have placed all eyes on Cunningham.] Gutch: Uhhhm... Livestock: Errr... Zeke: You'll have to forgive my two large buffoons, sir. For the record, I assure you, they are housebroken. I'm sure you understand, since you seem to have a pair of your own. Dynamite neck wear, by the way. [Tugging at his own neck brace, Zeke grins wide.] Zeke: But perhaps you'd care to elaborate? I mean, we offer the best justice that money can buy, and seeing as you (if I recall correctly) and I have the same employer, said justice may just be covered by our retainer. Cunningham: That no good Darius Walker and his band of thugs cashed a check they couldn't write with my boys here. So like any professionals we went to settle our differences inside the PVW ring. [Lane and Hayes nod in the background as Cunningham continues to talk.] Cunningham: Apparently Walker didn't have the same idea in mind. As Jimmy here was beating Shawn Covell inside the ring fair and square. Darius Walker assaulted me outside the ring unprovoked. He grabbed me and slammed me on the rock hard cement head first. I blacked out for a solid two minutes and suffer from extreme memory loss. My bones are old and fragile and Walker who is in the peak condition had no buisness assaulting me! [Cunningham holds his neck in severe pain as his face turns red in rage.] Cunningham: I am a well respected gentleman in South Carolina. I haven't been in a physical altercation since I was 14 standing up to the school yard bully. My reputation speaks for itself. [Nodding emphatically, then tightening his neck brace for no reason other than to keep up the appearance of needing it, Zeke replies in a very serious, businesslike fashion.] Zeke: I see. Well, I'll have to look over the minutiae of your contract, but the boilerplate blanket clause concerning criminal prosecution are ironclad. In short: you can't file charges in criminal court. The good news is, however, that you may be able to get emotional and even punitive damages, if you can prove mental anguish, and any of the dozen or so variants on mental anguish redundantly spread out through the many books of tort law. In short ... you could take the man's house, his cars, everything. Pretty sweet, eh? [For the first time in a long time a smile forms across the lips of Samuel Cunningham.] Cunningham: I knew I could count on PVW's finest to represent me and hit Walker where it hurts. Covell and Frost are nothing, but toys for Darius Walker, but I want to hit him where it hurts. I want to make him feel the same hurt and embarrassment he has put me through. I can't eat! I can't sleep at night! Who knows if I will enjoy another minute of my life. I will pay whatever it cost just deliver the same torture to Darius Walker that he has given me. [Cunningham grabs a briefcase from Steven Hayes and hands it to Zeke.] Cunningham: Inside is a copy of my PVW contract. You will find the clause that I wouldn't be involved in any physical confrontation quite interesting. Also you will find a nice down payment underneath. [Eyes growing wide, the Gutch steps forward, and with an excited whisper akin to Gollum from Lord of the Rings says--] Gutch: Briefcase... [Cunningham and his boys look over at the big tub of a man strangely as he takes the case from Zeke, who doesn't bat an eye. Apparently this is normal.] Zeke: Right, I'll look that over in depth and get back to you. Again, criminal prosecution is unlikely due to the phrasing of the overall contract, but the “no contact” clause could make the case for a civil lawsuit. [With a smile, the southern gentleman extends his hand, which is accepted by Zeke.] Cunningham: Pleasure doing business with you, sir. Zeke: Likewise, I'm sure. [The two teams and their respective managers depart, the camera following the lawyers.] Livestock: Think he knows that PVW pays the legal fees for its' employees via our retainer? Zeke: Judging by the weight of that case? Not a chance. [The camera cuts to a different part of the backstage area, where the broad-shouldered form of Judd Marley, stalking the hallways with his younger brother, and active wrestler "Showtime" Rick Marley. The siblings turn a corner and come face to face with (presumably) the object of their search: Livestock, Gutch and their manager Zeke Craven. Additionally, the cameraman following the lawyers is in the shot, but quickly backpedals to escape being filmed. Judd opens his mouth to address the trio of attorneys, only to have Rick step towards the much larger men, his temper flashing hot on his face, his taped and injured ribs completely forgotten.] RM: There you are, you piece of [bleep] [Looking around in feigned shock and confusion, Zeke says--] Zeke: Dad? JM: (under his breath) I'd have gone with hello... RM: You know what, Zeke? Enough is enough. Call your behemoth of a brother off, and do it now. Zeke: My brother? I'm not sure what you mean. Bill's in that decrepit basement apartment of his back in Detroit. RM: That's a load of horse[bleep] and we both know it. I don't care how many times I hear that it's not Bill under that mask. I was THERE in WWO when he went on that rampage. I was THERE backstage when they loaded those guys into the ambulance...and I know that Bill doesn't have enough marbles rattling around in that head of his to come up with something like this on his own. You though? You're plenty dirty enough, and a lawyer to boot. JM: (to Livestock and Gutch) No offense meant to you two fine shysters... [Both big men shrug, look at one another, and nod.] RM: So here's the deal Zeke...you're gonna tell your psycho brother- JM (under his breath again) As opposed to my oh-so-sane one... RM: -that he's gonna back the hell off of me, do you understand? If you don't, then we get to find out just how banged up that neck really is after all these years. Zeke: Sounds like you and Bill should compare prescriptions there, Ricky. You're exhibiting about his energy level right about now. Livestock: Okay, I admit it. It was me. [Stepping forward, the tall, muscular attorney makes himself known.] Livestock: It's true, I set up the LCD screen that displayed ol' gas- mask-puss in your locker room. See, I took an ITX motherboard with 128 megabytes of ram, an IDE converter that allowed the system to run off a compactflash card, and a 15 inch LCD with LVDS connection, and ran the whole thing off of a lithium ion battery and DC power supply pulled from an old laptop. The webcam was just a cheap thing I had laying around. The whole thing cost like 80 bucks. [Suddenly everyone's staring confusedly at Livestock, except for Gutch, who's shielding his eyes from his partner's little speech and playing with the locks on the new briefcase.] Livestock: But, in my defense, Damage just walked up to me with a briefcase of money. Being a lawyer, and thus loving both briefcases and money, I had no choice but to accept. RM: YOU THINK YOU'RE FUNNY!? Livestock: Uhm ... yes? [Judd steps between Rick and the attorneys, holding his hands up.] JM: C'mon...this isn't any way to settle things. Let's negotiate, right Rick? Zeke and his boys here are all lawyers...lawyers like negotiations. Zeke: We like them so long as they go our way, new Marley guy. What exactly do you propose? JM: Right...so how about this: The Wild Cards v. Livestock & Gutch in a tag match. If the Wild Cards win, Bill Craven will leave Rick alone. Period. No more mind games, no more stalking, no more nothing. [Chuckling to himself, Zeke shakes his head and rubs his temple with one hand.] Zeke: Fine, but if my team wins ... you and your boys will dress in camouflage in AND out of the ring for a month. That includes jammies, ladies. RM: You've gotta be- JM: Deal. RM: What!?!?!?! If we're in camo, that's like painting a bullseye on our backs for Craven to come and kick in... JM: So you'd better not lose then, huh? Zeke: I don't kick things in anymore. Oh, you meant my brother. I'm not sure what you mean. Bill's in that decrepit basement apartment of his back in Detroit. [If Zeke's repetition of that sentence seems odd, it's because his two oversized junior associates have crept around to the sides of the Marley brothers and are brandishing briefcases in a dangerous-looking way. Zeke moves his eyes back and forth between the two brothers as he speaks, keeping their attention focused on him, then flashes a conspicuous grin.] *WHA-WHANG-WHANG!!!* [Two large lawyers, three sound effects. That's because Gutch has not only his own briefcase, but the one given him by Samuel Cunningham, and has sandwiched Rick Marley's head between them.] Zeke: You know the spiel, gentlemen: Conflict builds character, and violence maintains the viewer's interest. Carry on. [At that, Zeke departs, twirling his own briefcase and checking his watch as he goes. Shrugging, Livestock and the Gutch commence to stomping on the stunned Marley boys.] JO: HEY! [As the two Marley siblings are being beaten down, Black Jack Baldwin and "The Shark" Johnny Oakes round the corner and see what's happening, causing them to break into a run, which sends the attorneys heading for the hills.] JO: What the hell was that!?! I'm telling ya man, there is no way this is gonna fly. I only been here a month and already I'm more pissed off than a fat kid who just got told MacDonalds is outta business. (Oakes squats down to see how the Marleys are and smacks the floor) JO: This aint getting outta hand on my watch. We need to take care of this and fast. No way I’m sittin here scratchin my ass with these nimrods cruising round. You fancy a good fight? JB: Well, we can add this to the eighty bucks you just got from me at the poker table...I'll wring it out of those bloodsucker's asses, I swear to God... [Oakes and Baldwin tend to the Marleys as the camera angle widens to encompass all of them, and catches, in a darkened closet in the background, a pair of glowing red dots that first flare into existence, then die away slowly. It seems that Major Damage has been watching the whole time, thus setting the record for most wrestlers in a single PVW backstage segment (10 counting managers). Cut back to the arena.] PW: So was that like the whole PVW roster right there? CL: That was quite a ..... Well conflict.. Rick Marley continues to have his issues with Major Damage and it appears that Livestock, The Gutch, and Johnny Oakes have been pulled into it. PW: So how does Extreme Conditions and The Thrillers fit into that? CL: I don't know, but they just have.. PW: Why can't everyone just get a long? CL: You didn't... PW: I did...

[The instrumental version of “Go to Sleep” Eminem begins to play throughout the 52nd Street Armory. After a few moments a figure begins to walk from the back stage. The figure is that of ‘The Golden One’ Christopher Michaelson who is attired in a long glamorous Cobalt Blue robe, the robe has gold trim around cuffs, bottom of the robe, the belt is gold as well. Upon the back of the robe written in script is MICHAELSON.] [Michaelson slowly runs hands through his long brown hair as he approaches the ring. He pauses for a moment the base of the steel ring steps as he looks into the ring. He smirks as he slowly ascends each step. As he stands on the ring apron he wipes the soles of his boots before he enters the ring. Michaelson removes his robe revealing full length cobalt blue wresting tights with golden stripes running down the sides of both legs. He hands his robe to the ring attendant and you can him say this is worth more than you so be careful.] [Song starts: 31 days to wreck your plastic face. The crowd rises as "Suckepunch" by Envy on the Coast blares through the arena.] HD: And his opponent. Hailing from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Standing 6 feet tall, and weighing in at 210lbs... O U T L A W ! ! ! ! [A pop from the crowd as Outlaw appears on the entryway. Dressed in his standard ring gear, camouflage shorts, and a PVW t-shirt, he raises his arm to the crowd showing a pair of leather grapple gloves. As usual, his brown hair hangs in his face.] CL: The popular Outlaw!!!! The crowd is really getting behind this guy. PW: They feel sorry for him. [Outlaw takes a couple of steps towards the ring, and blue and white fireworks shoot off behind him. He quickly sprints to the ring, and slides under the bottom rope.] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] Singles Action, 20 Minute Time Limit: 'Golden One' Christopher Michaelson v. Outlaw [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] <<< DING DING >>> The Referee calls for the bell, the match begins, and the crowd cheers in unison, just for good measure. In opposite corners of the ring, Outlaw tugs on the top rope, Michaelson loosens up his chiseled shoulders, and the two men slowly begin to circle one another, stares locked, neither wanting to take his eyes off the other... CL: The bell sounds, here we go... [Both men motion for a tie-up simultaneously, and lock horns in the centre, struggling against one another's strength. Outlaw takes the early advantage, but Michaelson spins it around, and the two stumble back against the turnbuckles.] CL: These two are so evenly matched... [Rolling along the ropes, neither man can take control of the other, as the ref squeezes himself between the two, to separate them. Michaelson backs away slowly, his palms in the air.] PW: I just can't pick a winner! CL: It's going to be nip-and-tuck, no doubt about it... [Michaelson steps back into the middle of the ring, and motions for Outlaw to come and try things one more time. Outlaw obliges with another collar-and-elbow, and, after some more grappling, Outlaw finally takes the advantage, with a side headlock...] CL: Here we go! Outlaw clamping on that headlo- PW: Hold your horses! Michaelson with the reversal! [Michaelson slips back into a hammerlock. Outlaw winces, grabs his shoulder, and reaches for a get-out. Finding nothing, he reaches back, and lashes out with a back elbow, but Michaelson ducks. However, Outlaw, too, is quick to react, spinning, setting him up, and...] CL: Russian legsweep! PERFECTLY executed! [To his credit, Michaelson bounces right back up after the move, the two men to their feet in stereo. The crowd applauds, as Michaelson holds the back of his head.] CL: Both men back up, and another stand-off, here... PW: Are they just gonna do this all match? CL: I would think not. PW: Good. Cause this is NOT what I paid to see! CL: This is a scientific exchange of- wait a minute! PW: What?! CL: You didn't pay to watch this! PW: Oh. Yeah. [In the meantime, the two men are once again circling one another, moving around the ring, the crowd buzzing with excitement. Another tie-up is won quickly, but Michaelson this time, as he clamps on a side-headlock of his own. Outlaw quickly counters, dropping to his knees and attempting to take his opponent over in a fireman's carry, but Michaelson counters, flipping out of it and landing on his feet.] PW: Look at that! What an athlete! [Michaelson's momentum carries him into the ropes, and he rebounds, as Outlaw drops to his stomach. On the return, Outlaw goes downstairs again, before springing to his feet and going for a hip-toss. Michaelson tries to counter with one of his own, but it's blocked. There is a momentary stalemate, until Michaelson nails a boot to the mid-section, drapes his head across the back of Outlaw's head...] CL: Michaelson flips out of it... [Michaelson goes for a clothesline, but Outlaw ducks, and counters with a waist lock. Michaelson manages to block the suplex attempt, slipping behind with a waist lock of his own, and rolling back into a smart pinning clutch.] CL: Wait a minute! PW: Where did THAT come from? CL: Michaelson with Outlaw rolled up! ONE ... TWO ... [In the blink of an eye, Outlaw rolls back into a pin of his own...] CL: Outlaw counters! ONE ... TWO ... [The force of Michaelson's kick-out sends Outlaw careering into the ropes, tumbling through and into a heap at ringside. He slaps the mats in frustration, as his opponent gets back to his feet back in the ring.] PW: Jeez... that was some kick-out, huh? CL: It sure was. Outlaw landed right at our feet... [Michaelson adjusts his kneepads, as Outlaw pulls himself back up. Pausing for a moment to catch his breath before climbing up on to the apron, his opponent moves in to grab him, only to find Outlaw driving a shoulder into his abdomen...] CL: Ooof! [Vaulting the top rope, and somersaulting a bent-double Michaelson, Outlaw grabs the legs, and attempts to pull him over. The fans cheer, as Michaelson reaches out and swipes at the top rope, struggling to keep himself from being pulled over...] CL: OH MY! Sunset flip!! PW: He can't get him over... can he?! CL: NO HE CAN'T! [Suddenly, Michaelson drops to his knees, pinning down Outlaw's shoulders...] CL: MICHAELSON COUNTERS! ONE ... TWO ... [And then, Outlaw reaches up with his feet, rolls Michaelson up...] CL: WAIT A MINUTE! PW: WHAT THE-?! CL: OUTLAW RE-COUNTERS! ONE ... TWO ... NO!!!! [HEEL POP!!!] [Michaelson rolls back out of the pinning combo, keeping hold of Outlaw's ankles as he goes. Rolling forward, he hooks both of his opponent's legs up tight in a vertical press...] CL: And now Michaelson with ANOTHER pinning combo! PW: I... I can't keep up with this! ONE ... TWO ... [Outlaws links his arms around Michaelson's abdomen, bridges up to a standing position. The fans sound an impressed pop, as he spins Michaelson around, hooks the arm...] CL: BACKSLIDE BY OUTLAW! ONE ... TWO ... THRE- NO! [SOOOO CLOSE DISSAPOINTMENT POP!!!] [Michaelson rolls back out of the move at the very last instant, he and Outlaw both back to their feet at the same time yet again. The two men stand not three feet apart, eyes fixed on one another, chests heaving, the crowd applauding for that brilliant exchange...] CL: Good LORD! What an incredible match we have right here! PW: It's exhausting me just WATCHING these guys! CL: What a tremendous exchange of maneuvers we just witnessed, and that confirmed it... this is going to be as close a match to call as we've ever had here in Phoenix Valley Wrestling... PW: Oh... without a doubt. [After a short stand-off, the two men lock up once more. Michaelson quickly emerges with the advantage, twisting Outlaw into an arm- wringer. Outlaw, however, snags him in a side headlock, only for Michaelson to back him into the ropes, and launch him across...] CL: Outlaw into the ropes... [Michaelson leapfrogs Outlaw as he rebounds, and spins around. Outlaw slips out of the slam attempt over his opponent's shoulder, and dropkicks Michaelson and before we can blink Outlaw follows the dropkick up with a standing moonsault and then points to the ropes...] CL: I think Outlaw is gonna try and end it... PW: If I was OUtlaw I stay on The Golden One and make sure he doesn't get back up. The so called first ever PVW World Champion is making a BIG mistake here... [Outlaw is climbing the turnbuckle as The Golden One is starting to make his way back up to his feet. Outlaw has reached the top ropes and Michaelson lungs at the ropes and Outlaw is now singing an extremely high note...] CL: I guess there won't be any little Outlaw's running around anytime soon. PW: Your say that like it is a BAD thing... [Back to the action Michaelson now is driving closed right fist into the skull of Outlaw as Outlaw seems to be out of it. Michaelson is climbing the ropes and Outlaw connect with a wild haymaker which sends Michaelson back down onto the mat and Outlaw is trying to shake the cobwebs out while Michaleson hops back onto his feet and charges at Outlaw but Outlaw sticks a boot out and it connects right into the face of The Golden One. Michaelson lunges a second time but this time Outlaw leaps off the top ropes and connect with a spinning DDT and follows it up with a cover...] ONE ... TWO ... THRE- [No The Golden One places his foot on the bottom rope. Outlaw thinks he has won the match and is raising his hands as Michaelson rolls up Outlaw with a school boy...] ONE ...

Outlaw is looking at the referee and trying to figure out what has just happened...] CL: I CAN'T BELIEVE IT THE GOLDEN ONE JUST CHEATED TO WIN... PW: ITS NOT HOW YOU WIN BUT THAT YOU WIN BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY... [Michaelson is walking back up the aisle way and realizes he pulled one over Outlaw. You then see Outlaw slides out of the ring and is chasing The Golden One to the back. Michaelson turns around and is meet by a vicious clothesline. Outlaw then starts to stomp away at The Golden One before security comes out and breaks them up...] PW: Sore loser!CL: Thankfully the boys in the back are on their feet back there. Outlaw isn't happy and his language is showing it. PW: Then he must be miserable all the time. CL: Michaelson picks up a cheap win, but it's a win. PW: Outlaw can now really fit in with the Ed Green's of the world. CL: That wasn't nice! PW: But true. HD: Introducing first wrestling out of Oakland, California...

"Bad Karma" gets into the ring and goes to one of the turnbuckles and holds his hands high, absorbing the jeers from the PVW fans. Paul Sandler stands behind his client full of smiles.] CL: RJ Souza is in the zone tonight. Earlier in the Chris Hartt and Paul Styles match we saw his former manager and wife make it to the ring. PW: She shouldn't show up where she isn't wanted. CL: You can see the worry in her eyes. Souza has snapped! Chris Hartt and RJ Souza are long time friends. PW: Perhaps Hartt see's an opening now with Destiny. CL: I think not! [RJ Souza stands looking towards the entrance way ready for his opponent when on the big screen TV hanging above the entrance area flickers and shows someone walking with a camera it slowly walks around the corner, but stops quite a distance away. There we see Chris Hartt and Destiny Souza talking... The words can't be made, but there is concern and friendship across one anothers faces. RJ Souza stares at the screen and his manager, Paul Sandler can be heard trying to calm 'Bad Karma' down.] CL: Souza looks on the verge of losing it. This isn't going to be good! PW: I wonder who put that on the television. Somebody is playing games with RJ Souza showing this on the screen! [Souza finally snaps in a fit of rage slamming his Louisville slugger baseball bat into the turnbuckle. Paul Sandler quickly backs up as Souza turns with his eyes in another place. PVW referee Jay O'Riley holds his hands up attempting to calm down the PVW superstand. Souza out of nowhere with a KARMA KICK!!!!! The official is down for the count!!!] CL: Yep Souza has totally lost it. PW: He has snapped... [RJ Souza stares down at the downed referee. Another PVW official, Max Kelly has made his way inside the ring to check on his fallen comrade.. Souza towers over the second official and points his bat towards him.] CL: He is threatening _another_ PVW official! This has gotten out of hand! PW: Let this be a lesson to Chris Hartt... You don't mess with a mans wife. [Max Kelly holds his arms up shaking his head, but it appears to be falling on deaf ears. As Souza holds his baseball bat up ready to wreck more havoc there is a massive pop as 'The Shark' Johnny Oakes comes charging down the isle way, Souza's scheduled opponent for the night. He rolls into the ring and fires off a handful of right hands... He whips Souza into the ropes and CLOTHESLINE!] CL: Johnny Oakes is out and acting as the law! PW: Who invited him!?! CL: Well he is scheduled to be Souza's opponent right about now... [Paul Sandler is back in and hits Oakes from behind, Oakes turns with a big smile and he lifts Sandler up with one quick motion and BENCH PRESS SLAM!!!! The fans are tearing the roof down as The Shark stands tall and the law inside the PVW ring. RJ Souza reaches for his bat and as Oakes turns is drilled right into the midsection with the blunt in of the baseball bat. Oakes doubles over and Souza drives the powerful end down of the bat down over the mid back section of The Shark.] CL: GOOD LORD!!! PW: I fought the law and the baseball bat won. [Johnny Oakes drops to his knees at the sound of the crack over his back. RJ Souza stands in the ring with the chaos around him. He then turns towards the back and storms out headed up the isle way obviously looking for Chris Hartt.] CL: WOW!!!! I'd say there won't be a match here tonight. RJ Souza took out the scheduled PVW referee and his opponent with that Louisville Slugger. He apparently is headed to the back... PW: Serves Johnny Oakes right! CL: Oakes had every right to be inside that ring. You can bet those two will have their match. Oakes won't leave that unanswered. PW: How would you like to be Chris Hartt right about now? RJ Souza thinks that he is hitting on his wife and he is now in a lost mind frame walking around with a baseball bat. CL: Things have gotten way out of hand that is for sure. [Paul Sandler as began making his way back up the isle way as Johnny Oakes finally reaches his feet. Max Kelly and Oakes looks over PVW referee, Jay O'Riley as Oakes looks up towards Paul Sandler just nodding.] CL: There is rumor of a possible big return. PW: Who? CL: Let's go to the tape. [Casa Grande, Arizona. The sun's just come up, giving just enough light for the occasional cars on the Interstate to ignore headlight laws. Just off the main freeway, an onramp splits in two directions, courtesy road signs -- due west to San Diego via I-8, or Phoenix via the I-10.] Voice (chuckling) : I feel... I'm at a crossroads. [The camera pans down from the signs, following the voice. A lone, somewhat worn green Saturn is parked; the license plate reads "OWO2004." More interestingly, a man leans against the hood of the car, staring up at the signs. [Long, dark brown hair is tied into a loose ponytail and capped with a camouflage bandana. A matching T-shirt is tucked into faded black jeans, which are in turn tucked into calf-length, steel-toed boots. Urban Legend's "Stalker," Johnny Styles, drops his gaze to the facemask in his hand, a black mask with red streams running from the eye holes. The smirk never leaves his face, though there's an oddness to it.] Stalker : It's been a long time since I even thought 'bout headin' back to a wrestlin' ring. I've kept'n shape well enough, but there's a lotta memories all but forgotten, good'n bad -- and a part of me wanted t'keep it that way. Relationships gained n'lost, friends becomin' enemies becomin' friends, a lotta bruises, and a lotta pride. I can't say life's been nearly's interestin' since, but at least for a while that was a good thing. [He tosses the mask on the hood and stands up, pacing slowly.] Stalker : So I was visitin' an old friend at Yaqui, and he mentions another shop opened up'n Phoenix. And gave me an old momento. [He motions at the mask.] And it got me thinkin' 'bout the old days 'gain. And really, that's when I was at th'crossroads. [Pause.] Nope, decision was made already. Now I'm just tryin' t'figure out when that happened. [Styles stops, stands straight, and starts tickin' at his fingers.] Stalker : It could've been when Semi n'Nightfire called 'bout how things were goin'. It could've been when 'law was cursin' up a storm in a the background. 'could've been when I heard more old names droppin': Styles, Williams, Cole. [The smirk becomes a bit more genuine as he begins walking again, this times towards the driver's side.] Stalker : But I think it was the cheerin' I heard. There're fans t'be entertained, and there're people t'get in the ring with. And there's the rush'f just bein' out there I remember clear's yesterday. Stalker : 'sides, bad things should come in threes. There was a force t'be recokened with then, and it's about time t'get things goin' proper again. [The smirk fades as he opens the door.] I'd say start checkin' you're back seat again... but I think it's time y'started praying. [Styles slides in and closes the door. As the car makes its way onto the road and exits north, the camera pans down to the Tears of Blood mask left behind, then slowly fades out.] CL: The legendary tag team in Detroit... The Royal Family killers... Outlaw's buddies, Urban Legend. Could they be PVW bound? PW: Did you say Outlaw's buddies? CL: Yes? PW: Oh please god no. We can't stand anymore "Outlaws". CL: These guys actually seem normal around Outlaw. PW: Oh like that is hard.

Bishop is dressed in a pair of dark blue denim jeans, black elbow pads, black fingerless truck driver's gloves, and black boots on his feet. He's also wearing an unbuttoned flannel shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a cowboy hat on his head. The crowd reacts with a moderate face pop, as the two starts his long, measured walk to the squared. Hidden amid the cheer is a small smattering of boos] CL: Embrey made an impressive stand in the Blood Bowl last week hanging in there to the end. However people in the back have been questioning what kind of condition that shoulder is in. It's been said there is a slight tear in it. PW: It's difficult to take the Prophets head on with two good shoulders. HD: Their opponents, Accompanied to the ring by Pizzazz Elysee... Weighing at a combined weight of five hundred and seventy three pounds... S H A D O E R A G E & D E R E K R A G E . . . . . T H E P R O P H E T S O F R A G E ! ! ! ! [The houselights go down to be replaced by purple spotlights. Smoke fills the arena and the broad, slow, deep, gloomy notes of Chopin's "Death March" suck the joy out of the arena. The curtains part and out sweeps the Angel of Death, Shadoe Rage. In sharp contrast to the dirge, Rage is animated. He wears his sparkling sequined cloak. He throws out his arms, flourishing to the dirge's heavy beat. His partner, Derek Rage strides out from behind the curtains. He wears a boxer's robe with the hood up over his head. He looks like a giant Grim Reaper. The two are joined by Pizzazz Elysee as they head down the ring. Shadoe Rage pulls of his sunglasses and hands them to a child at ringside. His eyes burn with an almost inhuman fever. From the floor he springs up the ring steps and leaps over the top rope. He spins and flourishes in the ring to the time of the music before he whips off the cape. He leans over the ropes, pointing at the child he gave his glasses. "The violence tonight is all because of you!" he screams. Derek Rage joins him inside the ring.] PW: Not everyday do you get to watch two legends in the ring Chip. These no good fans should be thankful the Prophets have even accepted a tour in Phoenix. CL: They are a very decorated tag team that's for sure. Their past accomplishments rank right up there with the Wild Cards and possibly just behind Sexual Energy. PW: The way they are wrestling right now they could dismantle both of them in no time at all.

Greg Embrey throws Shadoe out of the ring through the middle rope, then dashes across the ring jumping on Derek Rage’s back and hitting him with clubbing blows to the back of the head. Derek Rage walks into the middle of the ring, staggering around before he’s able to grab Embrey and flip him off of his back onto the mat.] CL: This wasn't the way the Prophets wanted to start off and Montana Bishop charges at the bigger brother of the Prophets... FLAP JACK RIGHT ONTO HIS PARTNER, EMBREY!!! PW: Look at the raw strength and size of Derek Rage. Who would want to step into the ring with that guy? CL: I have no clue.

Highway 44 turn around into a Double Clothesline by the illegal-man Derek Rage.] CL: BOO! Come on ref keep them honest. PW: Hey there is a strong brother bond. How can Derek stand by and watch his brother get beaten down like that? Don't you have a brother? CL: Well yes.. PW: Then you should understand. [Derek Rage exits the ring with Shadoe now not looking so bad momentum-wise. Both men back up at about the same time, but Shadoe scores with a rake to the eyes. The smaller Rage brother whips Bishop off the ropes and nails him with a Dropkick to the face. Shadoe Rage eggs Bishop on, urging him to pull himself up but as soon as Montana makes it up to one knee, Shadoe Rage grabs him by the head and nails him with a Mat Slam.] CL: Shadoe Rage has now dropped to his knees and is BLATANTLY choking Montana Bishop!!

[Shadoe Rage grabs the shoulder of Embrey and SLAMS it right into the guard rail. He lifts it up again and another SLAM right into the guard rail.

Shadoe Rage is on the top ropes behind Bishop and leaps - top rope flying double axe handle!!!] CL: Death from above a signature move by Shadoe Rage!!! Bishop crumbles to the ground as the referee is now trying to get Shadoe to leave the ring. PW: Poor Embrey he is still on the outside screaming in pain. I'd say it's possible that partial tear is now a full tear. CL: Let's hope not. Both brothers are up now... Derek holds Bishop down slamming a few crossfaces for good measures. Shadoe is on the top ropes and he leaps into a moonsault - Death from Above!!!!! PW: That usually ends things right there, but Derek is the legal man inside the ring.

Inside the ring Derek Rage lifts up Montana Bishop into a lifting claw hold slam ....] } [HEEL FINSHER POP!!!] CL: Hand of God!!!!! Derek Rage just stands over the now lifeless Montana Bishop. The message has been sent just pin him damnit. PW: I think they are sending a message to the rest of the PVW tag team roster. [Derek Rage drops down and locks on a rear naked choke with a forearm across the Bishop's eyes...] CL: Now he has on the Apocalypse. Bishop is already out of it as Shadoe and Derek have landed their finishing moves on him. Referee, Duke Martin is bent over checking on him and he waves his arms as Bishop is OUT! PW: I'm not sure the Prophet's were done having fun. CL: Derek Rage doesn't seem to want to let go as Duke Martin continues to plead with him. Pizzazz Elysee has finally gotten back up and rolled in and Derek Rage lets go. PW: What an impressive performance by the Prophets of Rage. Highway 44 was considered one of the toughest combinations inside the PVW. The Prophets came in here and sent a message. CL: That they did. Outside officials are looking over Embrey's shoulder and Shadoe rolls in the ring and raises his hand with his brother. [The lights in the arena go out. A faint glow comes over the big screen, static heard...but not seen.] [Suddenly, the word "OMNI" fills the screen. It begins to pump like a heart, a distinct pulsing sound matching each "beat" of the word. The static sound starts to fade out as a low chuckle is heard.] [The pumping word speeds up as the laughter increases in both volume and speed. The letters "KGB" flash over the screen, starting and stopping in a manner that would send epileptics to the floor.] [The "OMNI" fades out as the laughing stops. The letters "KGB" remain on the screen. A voice cuts into the sudden silence.] VO: Everything...it's all...coming together now. [The "KGB" abruptly disappears and is replaced with a graphic:] "Next time... ... ... ... ?" CL: What the heck was that? PW: KGB? Russian? CL: What the heck is going on here? The ring crew and officials are clearing the ringside area of any tables, ladders and chairs... HEY WAIT A MINUTE! [He's cut off during his protest as two referees gather even the announcers table and chairs, leaving them dumbfounded.] PW: I guess they don't want these four maniacs to get out of hand. Like these guys aren't creative enough to get around a lack of tables and chairs. Sheesh. CL: Can't blame them. PW: Where am I going to sit? CL: I guess we stand. PW: Now that's just wrong. [Camera picks out a line of PVW ring crew employees carrying folded up chairs, tables, and ladders up the isle way and to the backstage area. The fans let out a chorus of boo's, but they fall upon deaf ears.] CL: Not a very popular move by the PVW upper management. If this is suppose to be a Fans Choice you would think they would allow it to happen the way it naturally would. PW: Perhaps the PVW has suffered enough injuries tonight. CL: That is a good point. HD: Introducing first... Standing at six foot nine and weighing in at three hundred and twenty pounds.. M A J O R D A M A G E ! ! ! ! [A heavy beat starts up heavy as the lights drop. A few scattered strobes create a circus funhouse atmosphere but do little to illuminate the arena. The shrieking sound of “Soldiers” by Drowning Pool hits the PA.] #On your feet, WHO'S WITH ME!?# [A flickering light appears in the entrance portal.] #On your feet, WHO'S WITH ME!?# [The light grows as it becomes clear that it's a burning flame.] #One world, made better, in slight, hard bitter.# #There is no compromise, YOU'RE BRINGING FORTH YOUR SACRIFICE!# [Out from the backstage area bursts a huge man dressed from head to toe in camouflage and wearing a gas mask. He waves what looks to be a burning American flag at a crowd that shouts him down violently.] #On your feet, who’s with me?# #On your feet, let’s go!# [Walking to the ring, he raises the flag high, illuminating himself and many of the fans around him. More heel heat strikes at him as he marches in military rhythm to his theme music.] #Every time I see inside you I see myself within you.# #Let’s go!# [Major Damage walks a lap around the ring, making sure that all the fans in the arena get a chance to see his “Scorched Spangled Banner”.] #(Whoah, yeaheah) This is for the soldiers!# #(Whoah, yeaheah) This is for the soldiers!# #(Whoah, yeaheah) This is for the soldiers!# #One for all, WE'RE COMING!!!# [Stopping before the ring and facing back towards the entrance portal, Damage smashes the burning flag upon the floor, dousing its flame. All is dark again.] CL: Major Damage thus far has wrecked havoc upon the PVW. You can only assume he is just foaming at the mouth to get this one going. HD: Introducing next, From New York City, New York. Weighing in at 275 pounds and standing at 6 foot 4. T H E S P E C T R E ! ! ! ! [The arena lights suddenly cut to pitch black without warning. Over the PA system, the faint sound of a heartbeat begins after ten seconds of complete silence. Thump-thump Thump-thump Thump-thump "Do you fear the Dark?" a gravelly voice asks in a whisper. A single red spotlight cuts through the blackness, illuminating the solitary form of The Spectre as "Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson cuts in over the PA System. Spectre, clad in a pair of cutoff jeans, a black t shirt and combat boots stands with his taped forearms held up at angles away from his pale, scarred body as the combination of his dark dreadlocks and the red lighting paints a ghastly picture over the ghoulish wrestler. As the music picks up, the lights start flashing in time with the beat, creating almost a stobe-effect as The Spectre makes his way towards the ring, ignoring the fans lining the aisles. As he reaches the apron, the pale skinned grappler speeds up to a run and slides smoothly under the bottom rope, standing and stalking towards the ropes in front of the announce table. Climbing to the second rope, he stares coldly at the announce team for a moment before stepping down and moving to his corner to await the start of the match.] HD: Introducing from Hudson Valley, New York... weighing in at two hundred and eighty six pounds and Standing at six foot three. R O B C O L E ! ! ! [“Rumatahatta” by Sepultura hits the PA system as the crowd cheers. Out steps the Outcast. The long dark hair hangs in wet tangles around his face and head, he is dressed in a pair of loose fitting black pants with a silver barbed wire trim design up along the sides. Red and black boots, taped fists, and a sleeveless teeshirt finishes out Cole's attire. The camera zooms in on the face of the legend and it's covered in scars from past battles. He walks slowly down to the ring and rolls under the bottom ropes.] CL: There is three of the opponents... Referee Duke Martin is having a hard time keeping the three from starting. PW: These are three blood crazed maniacs. #When you're talkin to yourself# #And nobody's home# #You can fool yourself# #You came in this world alone# #[whispered] Alone# HD: Making his way to the ring at this time, from right here in Phoenix Arizona...

[Just as the weeping guitar solo in Guns 'n' Roses "Estranged" chimes in, the entrance curtain is swiped aside by the massive paw-like hand of Charles Lassiter. He is built like an offensive lineman - overweight, but not grossly fat. Lassiter has a round face and looks like a big friendly teddy bear... with a slightly dangerous glint in his eye. Soft, thinning blond hair. Fair skin. He throws his arms into the air and because of his commanding presence, hears some love from the crowd. He slaps has many hands as possible atop the ramp.] # So nobody ever told you baby# How it was gonna be# So what'll happen to you baby# Guess we'll have to wait and see# ONE, TWO #Old at heart but I'm only 28# #And I'm much too young# #To let love break my heart# #Young at heart but it's getting much too late# #To find ourselves so far apart# [Dressed plainly in blue jeans, a white t-shirt and carpenter boots Lassiter finally ducks between the ropes and enters the ring with boundless energy. One more time he turns to the fans, pumps a fist into the air and manages to crack a small smile as he's showered with applause.] #I don't know how you're s'posed# #To find me lately# #An what more could tou ask from me# #How could you say that I never needed you# #When you took everything# #Said you took everything from me# [Music fades as Lassiter shakes out his arms and legs and struggles to clear all distractions from his mind.] CL: And there is the fourth and final participant.

Lassiter and Spectre pair off, as do Cole and Damage! [The roar continues as the four men stonewall each other with punch after punch without anyone giving an _inch_] PW: It looks like a bar brawl in the ring! There’s over a half ton of fury in the ring right now! [The ref finally separates Cole and Damage long enough to coax the two bulls out of the ring but his momentary distraction is all Spectre needs to take control, drilling poor Chuck in Square in the Banana and the Grapes!] [Sympathy pop!] CL: Underhanded move by the Spectre. What a surprise. PW: At least maybe Charlie won't have any more kids to forget about. CL: Preston! [Spectre sets into a full mount and begins unleashing shots to the forehead. The ref finally steps in when Spectre begins _biting_ the forehead of Lassiter. Spectre finally relents and turns a bloody smile on the ref, who falls backward in shock!] [Disgusted pop!] CL: Digesting! You can see bits of Lassiter's flesh in Spectre's bloody serial killer grin! PW: The Spectre is a BEAST! [Lassiter looks out of it as Spectre shoves him into a neutral corner, driving him into a seated position with repeated boots to the midsection. He backs up drives a vicious knee to the face of Lassiter, further exacerbating the wound on his forehead.] CL: Lassiter is getting mauled so far. He looks like he’s somewhere else tonight! He must be thinking about the phone call he got a short time ago. PW: My mind probably wouldn't be here either. [Spectre backs off to make another charge but unwisely gets too close to Major Damage, who grabs him by his dreads and yanks him over the top rope to the floor.] CL: Pearl Harbor move by Damage and the ref is calling that a tag, telling Damage to get into the ring. PW: I wouldn't be telling Damage to do anything. I would ask him very politely. CL: What's this? I'm being handed a piece of paper by a member of our ring crew... [Rustling paper can be heard as the action rages in the ring.] PW: What is it? Must be important for them to distract us during a match. CL: Fans, we've just received a gag order, notarized and everything, preventing us from discussing the identity of a certain wrestler... PW: Certain wrestler? You mean M-- CL: Preston, before you decide to open your mouth, maybe you should read this. Looks like PVW's lawyers have really gone out on a limb to keep this little secret under wraps. [More rustling paper.] PW: Holy crap. Fine by me, certainly ain't worth getting fired over. CL: I just wonder what brought it up. We weren't even focusing on ... it...

[The referee pushes Rob Cole and the Spectre to the outside. Leaving a recovering Major Damage and Charles Lassiter in the ring, Spectre paces the apron crazed for a few moments before he grabs the top turnbuckle and begins to rip the padding off of it.] CL: Damage finally pulls Lassiter forcibly to his feet and drives him to the mat with a vicious T-Bone Suplex! PW: Lassiter is a rag doll in the ring at the moment. And Damage is going for the cover. ONE ... TWO ... [HUUUUUGGGGEEEEEEEEEE POP!!!!!!!!!] CL: Amazingly Lassiter barely gets his right shoulder up. Damage doesn't look happy as pulls Lassiter to his feet by his hair.

[As Cole crashes to the mat Spectre smiles a sadistic smile to Lassiter and begins to laugh. Cole leans back into the corner with his eyes closed a small trickle of blood begins to flow. Spectre stands to his feet and rushes forward crushing Cole’s head with running knee strike. Spectre leans over the top rope and smiles once again.] PW: GOOD LORD! COLE’S BELL WAS RUNG WITH THAT KNEE! [Spectre reaches with his left hand grabs Rob Cole’s head and begins to rain a series of rights into the forehead of Cole. After four right hands Spectre bites Cole across his forehead.] CL: That’s the second person that Spectre has bitten tonight! PW: At this rate I would say he would take a bite out of Damage but that gas mask might save him from doing that. Spectre grabs Cole and pulls him to his feet. [Spectre stands to the side of Rob Cole before driving him to the mat with a Side Russian Legsweep. Lassiter now has Damage up and has him backed up in the corner. He is firing kicks off like a complete mad man. Spectre begins to unwind some of the tape on his left forearm and stalks up behind Lassiter... He wraps that loose unwinded tape around the throat of Lassiter and, and uses the tape (still partially attached to his arm) as a garrote, choking Lassiter.] CL: The referee is in total confusion. Does he begin counting? Has the rules been tossed out? Even if he tried to enforce them how much actual power does he have in there with these four mad men? [Cole rolls to the outside apron and pulls off his teeshirt as he rises to his knees… he glances around maniacally, smiling as he finds his target! He charges to the corner and wraps his shirt around the throat of Damage, yanking the big man out of the corner!] PW: If Spectre can do it, so can Cole!!!!! CL: Good lord!!!!!

ONE ... TWO ... THREE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!] CL: MAJOR DAMAGE PICKS UP THE WIN, but an assist by a mystery masked superstar. Rob Cole looked to be in a position to land the Castout Powerbomb with Lassiter and Spectre fighting their way to the backstage area. PW: Speaking of the backstage area... [The camera cuts to the back and the two are still going at it. Spectre has a hold of Lassiters head and charges it sending him THROUGH the drywall!!!!! Lassiter stumbles backwards with white dust and particles in his hair... As Spectre charges he catches him and falls backwards slamming Spectre face first onto the Water Cooler. Lassiter stumbles to his feet and grabs the half full plastic part full of water and slams it down on Spectre. PVW officials and wrestlers quickly grab a hold of Lassiter and Spectre pulling the two apart!!!!] CL: The match is over, but these two will not stop tearing each other apart until they have each other in the ring. [Spectre rips loose and charges in taking down Lassiter and a few officials in the mix. PVW head of talent and the son of Dex, Mathew Willingham is near the scene and leaps in-between the two as they are ripped apart again.] MW: ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! I don't care what I have to do. Next week I will get Spectre and Charles Lassiter BOOKED in a ONE on ONE MATCH!!!!!! [TEAR DOWN THE ROOF POP COMING FROM INSIDE THE ARENA!!!!!!!!!!!!!] CL: HOLY COW!!!!
