The SWA logo spins on
the screen as the electronic first notes of War by the Sick
Puppies begin to play. With every beat of the bass drum, sparks
shoot out from the logo, collecting on the other side of the
screen. After eight measures, these have formed the Edge logo.
Both begin expanding outward, distorting as they move beyond the
edges of the frame, still spinning all the while so each logo is
completely visible at one time or another. Then, just as the
singer shouts "Let's do this," the screen seems to explode into
several pieces. These begin to fall, morphing into shots of
things that have occurred on edges past, from the SWA's very
beginning to the present. These shots continue to fall into
frame as the guitar and drums pound through the speakers. Then,
as the vocals begin, we cut to the arena where pyros are
exploding, and the edge banner is flying high. The lights shine
brightly down upon the arena, making everything, including the
crowd, seem to glow slightly. We pan over them as they wave
their arms and their signs, and as they cheer for the spectacle
they know they are about to behold. At last, we pan over to Bob
Macatire and Cal Norton, sitting comfortably in the announce
position.
Bob: Good evening,
ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to SWA Friday Night Edge. As
always, your commentary team is composed of myself, (Bob
Macatire), and Cal Norton.
Cal: Tonight is a big
one. Firsts are always great here in the SWA, but this
particular first is one of the strangest we've ever had.
Bob: Absolutely. We're
gonna see Sherman Witicker take on Thomas Von Karstein... in a
Seth Blitzer's Photo on a Pole match.
Cal: Thomas wants the
photo, Sherman wants to destroy it. It might actually be good.
Bob: And we'll also see
some crazy tag team action as Damien Stivers and Damien Blake
team up to take on the unlikely duo of Joe Dick and Ally
Daniels.
Cal: It's difficult to
say how well either one of those teams is going to coexist,
but...
Suddenly, "Take you
down" by Egypt Central begins to play and the Miller Brothers'
video is shown. Markus steps through the curtain, looking around
at the fans. It's an angry stare. He starts to walk down the
ramp, focused on the ring. At the ring he walks around it and
grabs a microphone from Tim Marshal. After that he hoists
himself up and enters the ring.
Bob: But I guess we're
about to get interrupted.
Cal: What exactly does
he want so early on in the show?
Bob: Trust me, we're
about to find out.
Markus stands there a
moment looking around. A scowl of anger on his face. He raises
the microphone and starts to speak.
Markus: You know, I
said it before and I say it again. I'm sick and tired of what
people say about me. And I decided there's a certain someone I
want to shut up the hard way.
With a sudden outburst
he starts to scream turning and pointing at the back.
Markus: Listen Billy
Tyne! You opened your fucking mouth for the last time! You say
everybody has pinned me? Well you did not yet fucker! But you
know what I'm giving you the chance to be a Markus pinner!
I challenge you to a fucking Match at next Edge! Only you and
me! And it's going to be an extreme rules match! How's that for
competition Asshole?
Angered he throws down
the microphone and leaves the ring to head to the back.
Bob: Well then. Looks
like next week's show is filling out already.
Cal: Yep. I can't see
Billy Tine refusing that challenge. Not with Markus getting all
up in his face like that.
Bob: We may hear more
from Billy Tine later. For now, it's time for our first match of
the evening. Cody is about to take on Scott Calhoun.
Cal: Yeah, and speaking
of getting all up in people's faces, Cody seemed rather
accusatory during his promos. I guess he was accusing upper
management... or something.
Bob: Yeah, his little
tantrum in his second was really weird. Scott seems to be taking
this fairly calmly, though. Let's see how the match goes. Tim?
( Scott Calhoun vs.
Cody )
Tim Marshal: The
following contest is scheduled for one fall!
The arena goes pitch
black as Renegade by Hed p.e begins to play. a single light
beams down as the entrance ramp fills up with smoke. Out comes
Scott Calhoun from the smoke as fireworks go off behind him, as
he raises his arms.
Tim Marshal:
Introducing first, from Houston, Texas, weighing in at 199
pounds, Scott Calhoun!
Bob: So Scott's first
impression of Cody wasn't very good.
Cal: Most impressions
of Cody haven't been. He seems to put forth little effort both
in and outside the ring.
Bob: Yeah, and Scott
didn't particularly like that, as he's the sort of guy who's
always trying his best, despite wins or losses.
He walks down the rest
of the entrance ramp slapping fans hands, then enters the ring
and waits.
The lights go blue as
on our way hits the pa system and out walks Cody. He starts to
sing the song. Pyros go off as the fans start singing with him.
Tim Marshal: And his
opponent, from Lakeland, Florida, weighing in at 210 pounds, The
Blue-eyed Dragon, Cody!
Bob: If you ask Cody,
he'll probably tell you that we should be glad he even shows up.
Cal: Yeah, Calhoun's
response to that little statement was a good one. You've gotta
do more than just show up, especially in a place like the SWA.
He gets in the ring and
taunt as he waits for the match to start. The bell rings, and
Calhoun suddenly turns, leaping up onto the turnbuckle in his
corner. Cody sees him, and moves forward cautiously, waiting for
Calhoun to spring.
Bob: Woe. The match has
just begun, and already Calhoun's preparing to take a risk.
Cal: Probably thinks he
can teach Cody a lesson here.
Calhoun waits until he
feels Cody is within range, and then leaps off the turnbuckle.
Cody ducks, however, and Calhoun sails right over him, landing
in a heap behind him. Cody turns, and delivers a stiff sidekick
to Calhoun's body.
Bob: I think it was
Calhoun that just learned a lesson there. Cody may not have done
much here, but he is still a wrestler, and one should never
underestimate an opponent like that, record or no.
Cal: True enough.
Hopefully he can adjust before it's too late to do so.
Calhoun actually seems
to adjust quickly, rolling away and getting to his feet. He
rushes at Cody, keeping his center of gravity low. Cody tries to
counter, but Calhoun both blocks his attempt, and manages to
flip Cody over his head. Cody lands hard, seeming momentarily
dazed.
Bob: And Calhoun gets a
little revenge.
Cal: Not a bad move.
Not everyone can flip guys heavier than they are.
Bob: but look at Cody!
Cody also gets up
quickly, practically popping to his feet. He seems suddenly
angry, perhaps because of the move Calhoun just pulled off. he
launches himself at Calhoun, and nails him with two punches in
the face before Calhoun can do anything. He finally gets his
guard up, but Cody still continues to drive him back.
Bob: Good lord, look at
Cody go!
Cal: I don't think he
liked the fact that Calhoun gave him the same treatment he got.
Bob: Probably took it
as an insult, which makes sense given his temper of late.
Cody keeps raining down
blows, but Calhoun finally manages to block one, and deliver an
elbow smash to Cody's face. This staggers him, and Calhoun
begins to step away to recover, but Cody grits his teeth, and
goes right back on the attack, actually grabbing Calhoun, and
whipping him to the opposite corner before continuing his
aggressive assault.
Cal: Wow. Look at Cody.
He may very well pull this one off.
Suddenly, Calhoun
manages to catch one of Cody's arms, and pulls him in, lifting
him up into a Fireman's Carry. He quickly executes his finisher,
the Shock Treatment.
Bob: Shock Treatment
out of nowhere!
Cal: Desperation move,
Bob. Total desperation move.
Bob: But he's going for
the cover now.
Calhoun indeed goes for
the cover, still struggling to catch his breath.
1...
2...
3!
The bell rings, and
Calhoun's music begins to play. The crowd offers a mixed
reaction.
Tim Marshal: Here is
your winner, Scott Calhoun!
Calhoun, worn out from
Cody's assault, doesn't manage to get up right away. He
eventually does, though, getting his hand raised by the referee.
Bob: Wow. Well, folks,
it wasn't a long match, but it showed us all something. We may
wanna keep our eye on Cody. His anger at the world may make for
more hectic battles like that one.
Cal: Especially
considering he still didn't manage to get the win here tonight.
Calhoun makes his way
out of the ring, finally beginning to truly recover, and Cody
leaves soon after, his face still smoldering with anger.
Bob: Yeah, we'll
definitely be hearing more from him. Folks, we've gotta take a
break. Up next, though, Seth Blitzer's photo will be high up on
a pole, and Sherman Witicker and Thomas will fight their hearts
out to get it.
Cal: When you put it
that way, it just sounds weird.
Bob: That's cause it
is. Stay tuned!
The scene opens onto a
young couple. They are clearly newly wed and very much in love
as their eyes show that sparkle of a relationship which hasn't
been tested just yet. They are sitting in the living room of
their new house. The female turns to the male, a look of
complete joy on her face.
Female: Hey babe let's
go out, it's a beautiful night.
Male: Sure why not.
They make their way out
and stand in the garden. It is indeed a beautiful night. The
stars are shining brightly and the night is very still and calm.
The male looks up at the sky and then at his new wife.
Male: Look the whole
night is so perfect, there is even a shooting star. Go ahead hon
and make a wish.
The female looks up and
indeed there is a shooting star. She looks more carefully at the
shooting star and gasps.
Female: That's no
shooting star babe that's….
The ball of fire that
was mistaken for a shooting star is now hurtling towards the
ground. The couple quickly back away as it lands with a heavy
splash in the pond.
The couple approach the pond as a figure pulls it-self out of
the water.
Male: Hey it's SWA
superstar Riz.
Riz is now standing at
the edge of the pond with a huge jet pack on his back. On the
back of the jet pack written in bright yellow writing is the
word Rizomatic.
The female looks at the
soaking wet Riz and shakes her head.
Female: What is all
this about?
Riz looks at the
couple.
Riz: I am sorry but I
was testing the Rizomatic. The Jet pack which always gets you
from point A to B.
He says the last
sentence in a voice which is meant to be an announcer’s voice
but doesn't come off well at all.
Male: So seen as you
were trying to get from a to b, am I right to presume that b was
our pond?
Riz shakes his head and
now has a very sheepish look on his face.
Riz: Uh no sorry about
that. I guess there is a fault in the mechanics and perhaps it
needs more tests.
His voice brightens up
and he once again adopts that poor announcer’s voice.
Riz: But just for you
two you can have a his and hers Rizomatic for free.
The couple have an
identical look of incredulity on their faces after hearing these
words.
Male: Get the hell out
of our garden or we are calling the cops.
Riz backs away from
them slightly. He then uses his announcer’s voice again.
Riz: Buy the Rizomatic
the jet pack that gets you from point A to...
The couple run towards
him and chase him out of the garden as some writing appears at
the bottom of the screen.
"The Rizomatic! The
SWA's choice for jet packs. Use at your own risk.
Bob: This next
match is a bizarre one to say the least, I never thought I'd be
calling a Seth Blitzer's photo on a pole match. I know we've had
some weird ones here though, so maybe I should've expected it.
Cal: It is a
ridiculous sounding match on paper, but knowing management
there's more to it than that. Von Karstein's actions helping out
Seth Blitzer shocked all of us, and we've seen some of the
speculation here on SWA TV on what would compel him to do so.
Seems this was a test to see how Thomas would react to the
situation.
Bob: Well I'll
chime in more on that in a second, but first let's go to Tim
Marshal to get us underway.
( Thomas von Karstein vs. Sherman Witicker - Seth Blitzer's
Picture On A Pole )
Tim Marshal:
The following contest is a Seth Blitzer's Photo On A Pole match,
the only way to win is to climb the pole and retrieve the
attached photo!
The lights
become blood red as the Title Music of Bram Stokers Dracula
begins to play. Suddenly the sound of flapping wings and shrieks
of a swarm of bats overlaps the music. The same time the lights
begin to flash as if they were covered with flying bats. The
sound and the flashing increases until it seems completely dark.
Tim Marshal:
Introducing first, from a mountain range in Europa, weighing 230
pounds, Thomas Von Karstein!
Then in an
instant the red light is back and the flapping sound is gone. In
the middle of the Ring now stands Thomas von Karstein. He is
holding a framed picture of Seth Blitzer. He looks around at the
fans, then shakes his head. Then he puts down the picture in the
middle of the ring. Then steps back from it and bows to it, as
he has before to the fans.
Bob: Back to
what you were saying, if this was a test we did get some answers
here. This wasn't just Thomas helping that slimeball, he seems
completely under his thumb. Either he's being blackmailed or
he's just completely lost it.
Cal: Yeah, it
does seem we've gotten some answers but also a hell of a lot
more questions. This whole situation doesn't make any sense why
he'd suddenly start acting like he worships the guy. Maybe we
shouldn't have expected much sanity from someone who goes around
saying he's a vampire, but something is fishy here.
Then he
carefully picks up the picture, climbs the pole and sets it just
as carefully at the top. Then he looks around at the fans again,
climbs down and just takes off his cloak, throwing it to the
security. After that he waits for his opponent.
Won't Back Down
by Fuel begins to play, and Sherman steps through the curtain.
He is not alone, however. He has recruited some random person
from SWA staff to guide him to the ring, and he has a tight grip
on their elbow as he walks down the ramp, cane tap tapping away
at the metal.
Tim Marshal:
Introducing his opponent, from Faribault, Minnesota, weighing
173 pounds, Sherman Witicker!
Cal: Well
Sherman was certainly fired up this week.
Bob: Yep,
insulting the NFB tends to get him that way. I'm still not sure
how he intends to climb that pole though. Will he even be able
to find what corner of the ring it's set up on?
Cal: Well you
know as well as I do that to Sherman, those details are just a
minor inconvenience. It's a bit like talking to a brick wall
trying to reason with him.
He reaches the
bottom, then is guided right up to the ring. He recognizes this,
and climbs in, leaning his cane in his corner, and then moving
to stand in front of it. The staffer that helped him leaves, and
his music fades out. The bell rings, and Thomas immediately
heads for the corner where the pole is set up but Sherman is
able to hear his footsteps and follow him over. Before Thomas
can begin to climb, Sherman grabs a hold of a leg and manages to
score a single leg takedown. He manages to float over Thomas,
controlling him on the ground for the time being. Thomas
scrambles to stand up but the fired up Sherman takes him down
again with a rage induced double leg takedown.
Bob: Well,
Sherman has the early advantage here.
Cal: How is
this going to help him climb a pole though exactly?
Bob: Maybe it's
to wear Thomas down.
Cal: Yeah,
maybe.
Thomas
eventually manages to scramble to his feet, and levels Sherman
with a big boot. After taking a moment to yell at Sherman that
it's what you get for talking bad about Seth Blitzer, he decides
to go for the picture once more but Sherman most likely out of
desperation manages to cling onto his ankle and hold on for dear
life. Thomas tries shaking him off, and manages to but now
decides he needs to physically punish him. He delivers a stomp
to the head, drags him up before delivering a double arm
backbreaker. Measuring Sherman to drag his way back up he then
plants him with a hard one handed spinebuster. The second hard
move delivered to his back in a row, causes Sherman to contort
slightly in pain on the ground. Afterwards he glances up at the
picture longingly, and seems torn but then turns back to Sherman
to continue his assault on him to ensure he's been thoroughly
beaten down.
Cal: Thomas
putting a hurting on Sherman's back here, trying to make sure
he's down and out before he goes for the picture again I guess.
Bob: This does
seem like it will be a tough situation for Sherman to come back
from, no surprise pinfalls to turn things around like in a
normal match.
Grabbing
Sherman by the ear, Thomas drags him back up and hits a hard
european uppercut staggering him but not knocking him off his
feet. He goes to irish whip him off the ropes, but Sherman in a
counter that seems to surprise Thomas manages to reverse it with
one of his own and hit the Beat By a Blind Man on the rebound.
As Thomas crashes to the mat clutching at his back, Sherman
tries to get his bearings again following the damage he took and
eventually makes it over to the ropes. He feels his way over to
one corner and seeing that there's no pole set up there,
continues his way finding the one that has the pole set up.
Bob: Clever by
Sherman, he may be naive and a bit brainwashed but he can be
pretty clever as well.
Cal: Indeed,
this could be his big chance here.
Thomas however,
is back to his feet and sprints over to the corner knocking
Sherman down with a clubbing blow to the back. His sense of
urgency picking up that he can't waste any more time with
Sherman so close to his personal photo of his master, he begins
to climb up the ropes. Sherman though, manages to rather
awkwardly hop up onto his back and has a modified sleeper hold
of sorts locked in as he makes his way onto the top rope and
tries to reach up. The hold from Sherman though seems to wear
him down and Sherman is in a better position to try and reach
for the photo, but can't quite locate it. Finally though, Thomas
manages to shrug him off sending him crashing hard to the floor
on the outside. As the crowd boos, Thomas collects himself and
retrieves the photo still in mint condition as the bell rings.
Bob: Well, he
managed to pull it off; and wow does he seem proud of himself.
Cal: Yep, and
this continues to be as sickening as it is baffling. Like Seth
Blitzer needs a lackey to stroke his ego.
Tim Marshal:
Here is your winner, Thomas Von Karstein!
As staffers
come out to assist Sherman to the back, Thomas hugs the picture
to his chest like a security blanket. He continues to do so with
one arm as the referee raises his hand before disappearing in
his usual fashion.
Bob: Well, we
should really move on now and ...
Suddenly though
More Human than Human starts to play. Michelle Kramer makes her
way out onto the stage. She smiles and starts to make her way
down the ramp.
Bob: We have
seen her bio on the site but for the first time on TV. Folks
it's Michelle Kramer.
Cal: Why is she
making her way to the ring with Calypso's theme music?
Bob: I am not
sure Cal but I am very sure we will find out soon.
After a few
moments Calypso comes out and follows her to the ring. Michelle
steps between the ropes and grabs the microphone from Tim
Marshal as Calypso steps over the top rope and stands in the
centre of the ring. Michelle waves at the crowd who don't give
too much of a reaction.
Michelle: You
guys are like so rude. Here is little me and it's my first time
on television and you can't even give me a positive reaction?
Hey we are talking about the hottest woman on the SWA roster
here. Guys pants are like bulging right now because of me.
The crowd now
begin to boo.
Bob: Oh come
on.
Cal: I don't
know who she thinks she is but this is not funny.
Michelle: All
of you just hush for a moment ok?
The crowd calm
down more because she is not worth a long boo rather than the
fact that she told them to.
Michelle: Thank
you, you lovely people. So I like have a few things to say and
the most important I shall talk about first. I am going to tell
all of you people about me. I am like so awesome ok? I am just
so great, I even surprise myself sometimes.
Cal: I wish she
would surprise us and get on with it.
Bob: Agreed
Cal.
Michelle: Ok so
first off I am Michelle Kramer. Those of you who have a brain,
and I would guess that to be about one person in this room.
She smiles.
Michelle: Yes
me of course. Anyways as I was saying. I am the woman you saw on
Riz's bio from the first day he like came here ok? Now of course
a lot of you will not believe me what ever I tell you about Riz
as you don't know me. Let's just say you don't know the story
ok? You know I still don't see a real trust between him and you
stupid fans. Awww poor Riz, he can never do anything right.
Don't worry though he doesn't care if you boo him or cheer him.
She pauses and
looks around at the crowd for a moment.
Michelle: Now
Riz honey you know I am not done with you and I will get to
dealing with you at some point. I have another matter to take
care of. That is Calypso here. This poor man has been left on
his own to fend for himself. Now anyone who knows Calypso knows
he can't handle things on his own. I am a nice girl see?
The crowd do
boo this time.
Bob: Oh really,
you are just brimming with compassion.
Michelle: Thank
you, thank you, you are all so nice. Yes I heart you all too.
Now just to fill you all in, I will be managing Calypso here and
helping him to improve. So that starts with you Simon Kayne.
Cal: What?
Bob: Well it's
bad news for Simon what ever the reason.
Michelle: See
hon you didn't think that it was all over did you? I mean there
are people around here or people who have been here who think
that once you have a match it's all over right? Some people are
so stupid.
She giggles
before carrying on.
Michelle: Now
if you were that stupid Simon then you should retire now. You
though I am sure are wondering what this all adds up to? Well
you yourself said that for Calypso everything is black and
white. So let's make things fair. You will face Calypso one more
time, Calypso will set the stipulation and then we will se if
you can beat him. So it's up to you Kayne, make your choice,
either reject or accept the challenge.
More human than
human begins to play as Michelle drops the microphone and whilst
blowing kisses and applauding booing fans exits the ring.
Calypso following in her wake.
Bob: A
challenge to Simon Kayne and it's up to him to make the choice.
Cal: Yes he has
beaten Calypso on many occasions and maybe it's time for one
more showdown.
Bob: Well then,
now we can take that break. But stay tuned, we've got some tag
team action coming up afterwards.
The scene opens
on the Miller Brothers working out on exercise bikes in a
fitness center. Both are completely covered in sweat, breathing
hard and looking totally out of power and worn down. They pause
and look at each other. Smiling, they both bend down to their
opposing sides and come up with a bottle of Gatorade in their
hands. Markus right
and Roger left, they show it to the camera and then start to
simultaneously drink their shares.
They both sigh
relieved and put the bottles back down. Then they nod to each
other, starting again with their workout. As they do, they start
slowly but increase the speed quickly. They get faster and
faster, their moving legs start to blur.
Smoke starts to curl up from the machines as the Millers
just laugh at the enjoyment and power they have now, both
beginning to sweat in a yellow glowing fluid. Suddenly with a
loud crack the two workout bicycles jump out of their holdings
and race off. The Millers scream and hold on for their lives,
leaving the scene and we hear a loud crash.
The camera
turns around and we see two Miller shaped holes in the brick
wall and a lot of dust. Words appear in the middle of the screen
which read.
Gatorade! Is it
in you?
Scene fades to
black.
Bob: What we
are going to see next is a tag-team match with well what can
only be described as a strange combination of people.
Cal:
Yes I don't know where this idea came from but it's going
to be interesting.
Ally Daniels and Joe Dick against Damien Blake and Damien
Stivers? Certainly a
clash of personalities.
Bob: Don't
forget egos Cal. So
to get these egos and personalities clashing let's get down to
ringside and Tim Marshal.
( Ally Daniels and Joe Dick vs. Damien Blake and Damien Stivers
)
Tim Marshal:
The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall.
The arena goes
black before her music hits the PA and a spotlight shines on the
stage as Ally makes her way out with an aura of confidence
exuding from her.
Tim Marshal:
Introducing first, from Santa Fe New Mexico, weighing one
hundred and fifty one pounds, here is the SWA Commissioner, Ally
Daniels!
Cal:
Not perhaps who Ally would consider a desired tag team
partner but then again Ally is a bit of a lone wolf anyway's.
Bob: Yes the
number of people she would have haply tagged with are probably
less than one.
However she is never going to turn down a match and what ever
wedges their opponents tried to put between Ally and Joe it was
clear they respected what each other could do in the ring.
She flips her
hair back, slowly and methodically making her way down to the
ring ignoring the crowd. Climbing onto the apron she spins and
leans back against the ropes facing the entrance ramp posing for
a moment before she climbs into the ring and awaits her tag team
partner.
As his music
hits Joe strides confidently through the curtain onto the top of
the ramp. Pausing he soaks in the chorus of boos as he surveys
the crowd with a grin on his face and his hands on his hips as
blasts of white pyro go off on either side of him.
Tim Marshal:
Introducing her tag team partner, from Climax Michigan, weighing
two hundred and twenty two pounds, here is Joe Dick.
Bob: What an
impact Joe has had ever since he joined Skyfall.
He injured Brian Sasso and beat Ally Daniels in his first
night and hasn't looked back.
Cal:
Yeah and loathe him or loathe him it's clear he is an
accomplished wrestler, or at least he will be.
Bob: I presume
you meant loathe twice there Cal?
Cal: I sure
did, this man is not going to make many friends, he is pretty
charismatic though, so you never know.
Making his way
down the ramp at a leisurely pace his demeanor doesn't change,
until he reaches the ring apron and hops up. Stepping between
the ropes and reaching the center of the ring he turns around to
soak in all the boos of the crowd once more before taking his
corner and leaning back casually awaiting his opponents.
The beat of the
music begins and Damien appears standing at the height of the
ramp, throwing his arms wide as the pyros erupt, then he flexes,
going through a number of poses to show off his form. Once the
pyros finish he begins to walk his way down to the ring, some
boos, but a number of women do cheer and some people reach out
to him as he walks down to the ring.
Tim Marshal:
Introducing their opponents, first, from Boston Massachusetts,
weighing two hundred and fifty five pounds, here is Damien
Blake!
Bob: our
resident Narcissist Damien Blake.
He certainly managed to rattle his opponents this week.
Cal: He sure
did and I am sure he is hoping to use that to his advantage in
this match.
He climbs up
the steps, stopping again to pose, flexing, but looking over
himself rather than actually posing for the crowd. Once he does
climb up on the apron, and step in between the top and middle
ropes he proceeds to place both hands in pointing at himself in
a 'look at this' motion.
After the first
verse of Eye Of The Tiger by survivor, Damien appears on the top
of the ramp and makes his way to the ring without paying
attention to anything that is happening around him.
Tim Marshal:
Introducing his tag team partner, weighing two hundred and
twenty pounds, Damien Stivers!
Cal:
With Carine back recuperating and getting some much
needed rest it's business as usual for Damien.
I am sure there is much still to be resolved there as
well but for now he has a match to focus on.
Bob: He
finished off Judas and this is a new chapter in his life.
He needs to first and most importantly make sure things
are good with Carine and then put more than he ever has into his
career here in the SWA.
When Damien
enters the ring, he goes to the middle of the ring and draws
aside his arms to show that he is at his place before then
lowering them once again. Fireworks explode from each
corner of the ring. Then Damien takes his corner readying
himself for the match.
The bell rings
to begin the match
and just because they got to the center of the ring first Blake
and Joe start the match.
Joe delivers a series of lefts and rights. Blake responds
with some of his own. Joe stops the exchange of punches by
delivering a hard left which connects to Blake hard.
This drops Blake to one knee and the opportunity for Joe
to really take control presents itself.
He uses the opening he made buy executing a shining
wizard. This is
strong enough to drop Blake to the mat.
Cal: Wow Joe
some how managed to get the better of the bigger man in an all
out brawl there.
Bob: Joe is
more of a brawler than Damien Blake is and that gave him the
edge.
Joe then mounts
him and delivers a series of punches.
Blake manages to throw Joe off of him.
Blake roles over and gets to his feet.
Blake then charges forwards and kicks Joe in the gut.
He then follows it up with a belly to belly suplex.
He then reluctantly tags in Stivers.
Bob: Tag to
Damien Stivers and though he didn't seem happy about it, I am
sure he knows it was the right move there.
Cal: Yes Damien
Blake is knowledgeable enough in wrestling basics to know that
in tag team matches you have to keep the freshest person in at
all times, even after a short exchange.
Stivers runs in
and hooks up Joe. He
falls back driving Joe down to the mat with a DDT.
Stivers picks Joe up and hooks him up for a suplex but
Joe counters and rolls him up in a small package.
Bob:
Joe could have the surprise roll up win right here.
One...
Two...
Kick out!
Cal: Nice try
but it didn't work.
Both of them
get to their feet but Joe is the more alert at this point.
He quickly tags in Ally who gets into the ring.
Stivers goes to lock up with Ally but she side steps him.
He then charges toward her again and she casually
cartwheels out of the way.
Stivers now losing patience charges forwards with a
clothesline but Ally ducks it and Stivers goes into the corner
and collides with the turnbuckle.
He hits the mat but rolls over and gets to his feet.
Ally is ready for him though and nails him with a
spinning roundhouse kick which takes the unbalanced Stivers to
the mat.
Bob: That's the
problem with dealing with Ally, she will test and test your
patience untill you have none left.
She is very tactically smart.
Cal: Yeah and
plus she is totally nuts.
Ally then
executes a standing moonsault to the grounded Stivers and
remains on his chest for an attempted pin fall.
One...
Two...
Kick out!
Cal: Some
resolve shown by Damien Stivers.
Bob: Yes, it's
his way of saying you are going to have to do far more than that
to beat me.
Ally gets to
her feet and as she readies herself for another attack Joe tags
himself in. Ally
shakes her head as she has no choice but to step out onto the
apron.
Cal: oh please,
blind tag by Joe.
Bob: He didn't
want Ally getting all the glory of course.
As Stivers gets
to his feet Joe charges forwards and catches him with a leg
lariat. Joe then picks up Stivers and hooks his head with an
inverted face lock.
In stead of falling back with a reverse DDT, Joe drives the back
of Stivers head into his knee.
Joe climbs onto the second rope and pauses a moment as he
measures his opponent.
Joe then leaps off the second rope but misses the knee
drop as Stivers manages to roll out of the way.
Cal: Damien
managed to avoid that knee drop and can turn round the momentum
right here.
Bob:
Showing allot of fight here is Damien Stivers, he has
been in there taking quite a bit of damage.
Stivers picks
up Joe and whips him into the ropes.
He then catches him with a spinebuster.
Stivers follows it up with an elbow drop.
With Joe now down Stivers goes and tags in Blake.
Blake comes in and drags Joe to his feet.
Blake picks up Joe and takes him to the mat once again
with a suplex. He
then sits up Joe and applies an armbar.
Joe grits his teeth as he tries to escape the hold as
Blake tightens the grip on the armbar.
Bob: Armbar
applied on Joe by Damien Blake.
They may not be a team in the traditional sense but this
is good work by the two Damien's.
Cal: Are you
saying that Ally and Joe are a traditional team there Bob.
Bob: No not at
all, but as I was talking about the two Damien's I thought the
fraise would work right there.
Cal: funny
explanation Bob but I will let you off.
Joe stretches
out his leg and touches the bottom rope which of course and
after a count of four causes a break.
Blake picks up Joe and hooks him up for a full Nelson.
Joe fights out of the attempted finisher and nails Blake
with a jumping knee.
Both men fall to the mat and make their way over to their own
corners. Blake
reaches Stivers and makes the tag. Stivers runs in to attempt to
stop Joe from making the tag but he is not able to and Ally gets
into the ring following Joe's tag.
Cal: Damien
Stivers was so close to stopping the tag but it wasn't enough.
Bob: No tag
made and Ally is ready and fired up.
Ally and Damien
lock up but it's Damien who uses his size and weight to his
advantage. He hooks
the head of Ally and falls back, driving her head first to the
mat with a DDT.
Stivers then drags Ally to her feet and goes behind her. He
hooks her up and drives her to the mat back first with a full
Nelson slam.
Bob: Ally was
fired up but clearly so was Damien Stivers.
Cal: You want
some sauce for those words you just had to eat Bob?
Stivers climbs
to the top rope and leaps off but misses the attempted leg drop.
Ally gets to her feet as Stivers does the same.
Ally nails Damien with a hand stand spinning kick from an
acute forty five degree angle.
Stivers hits the mat once again.
Ally then nails Stivers with a standing shooting star
press and goes for an immediate pin fall.
Bob: Here we
go, Ally is going to take it for her team.
One...
Two...
Thre Kick out!
Cal: No, some
how he kicked out!
Stivers gets to
his feet but Ally is ready for him.
She delivers an arm drag and once again gets into
position. When
Stivers is on his feet Ally nails him with a five hundred and
forty kick. With
Stivers down on the mat Ally goes straight for a pin.
Cal: Kiss of
death and this spells the end for the two Damien's for sure.
One...
Two...
Three!
Tim Marshal:
Here are your winners, the team of Ally Daniels and Joe Dick!
Bob: What a
match and Ally gets the victory for her team.
Both Damien's
looking very unhappy leave and Joe celebrates in the ring.
He invites Ally but she refuses but maintains her smile
and it's clear in spite of her partner she is pleased to get the
win.
Cal: A hard
fought win for Ally and Joe but what a match.
Bob: They may
not like each other much but they worked well as a team and got
the job done.
Ally is the
first to leave and after more playing up to the crowd Joe
follows suit.
Cal: Still more
action to come but that was an awesome tag match.
Bob: It sure
was but we must move on, next up we have Billy Tallant taking on
Simon Kayne. Stay
tuned to Friday night Edge.
We fade in on a
shot of Rachel sitting at a table in a coffee shop. A cup of
unbranded coffee sits in front of her, and she's holding
something in her hand, but the camera doesn't show us that.
Instead, it focuses on her face as she smiles, and begins
speaking.
Rachel: Hi,
guys. Remember SWA mobile?
She suddenly
vanishes, to be replaced with shots of the previous SWA Mobile
commercial starring Russell Brown. After a few seconds of those,
we cut back to Rachel
Rachel: Neat,
huh? We thought so. But ya know, it just wasn't enough.
Now, she holds
up the thing in her hand. It is, in fact, an iPhone. On the top
of the screen, the words SWA Mobile flash brightly, and below
these, a menu.
Rachel: The SWA
would like to introduce the brand new SWA Mobile app for the
iPhone, and iPod touch. Now, taking the SWA with you anywhere
means so much more. Check this out!
She scrolls
down the expansive menu, which contains items such as roster,
wrestler stats, bios, merchandise, and even videos. Selecting an
item labeled Update, she is treated to another window which
shows the latest SWA happenings.
Rachel: As soon
as you start the app, you can click this little button to see
everything new going on. There are links here to articles, and
even videos of recent events.
She navigates
back to the menu, and goes to the bios section.
Rachel: Want to
learn more about your favorite SWA superstar? It's all right
here. Stats will update automatically, but you'll never have to
see stats you don't want to see.
With another
flashy smile, she lowers the device, looking back at the camera
directly.
Rachel: No more
cluttered up text message in boxes, no additional charge for not
having a texting plan. It's SWA Mobile, now bringing you more
SWA than ever before on the go. And the price? Just $5. It's a
one-time payment for a lifetime subscription. Download it now.
Her smile
becomes a grin as she picks the iPhone back up, and starts
browsing the app again. An announcer takes over to wrap it up as
an apple logo appears next to Rachel.
Announcer: SWA
Mobile. Now, there's an app for that.
He speaks much
faster then, providing the finer details.
Announcer:
Future additional features may require an additional payment.
Use of. The SWA Mobile App is limited by internet connection, or
3G network. Some restrictions apply.
On a final shot
of a grinning Rachel Drake, our scene fades.
Bob: We are
certainly hoping you are all enjoying the show so far.
There is still action to come so let's discuss this next
match.
Cal:
Big test for Billy Tallant here Bob.
Simon has been around the wrestling scene for ages and I
think this will be a good test for Billy this week.
Bob: Yes very
true Cal and at the same time Simon doesn't want to slip up.
He seems to be turning things in his favor and he will be
wanting to continue that.
Cal: So what
are we waiting for? Take it away Tim.
(
Billy Tallant vs. Simon
Kayne )
Tim Marshal:
The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
The soft
opening notes of a guitar starts up, then slowly blends into
heavier notes as the lyrics begin, the lights go out then start
strobing on and off. First from behind the curtain is Billy's
Manager/Personal assistant, she is dressed only in her Bra and
Panties and she is obviously uncomfortable and unhappy as she
makes her way down the ramp. Finally Billy Tallant steps out, an
unlit cigarette hanging from his lips as he eyes the crowd
disdainfully.
Tim Marshal:
Introducing first, accompanied by Zoe Renfield, from Toronto
Ontario Canada, weighing one hundred and fifty nine pounds, here
is Billy Tallant!
Cal: Well even
though Billy treats poor Zoe horribly he did defend his actions
and such quite vigorously this week, maybe he cares for her more
than he lets on?
Bob: Who really
knows Cal, but for Zoe it just seems to be one long sick joke.
He makes his
way down the ramp ignoring the boos or cheers whichever seem to
be, being thrown his way. He slides into the ring and pulls off
his duster tossing it to Zoe on the outside of the ring. She
moves to put it on but he shakes his head at her and she sighs
and just stands there holding it. He looks un amused up the ramp
as he waits for his opponents arrival.
The lights go
out as "Bad Company" hits the P.A. system. The screen shows the
words, It is now time for the Feature Presentation, followed by
three crowns and the words triple crown and The Main Event. As
the song picks up, pyro explodes on the stage followed by a
showers of sparks. Simon Kayne appears on stage and throws his
hands up in the air.
Tim Marshal:
Introducing his opponent, from Chicago Illinois, weighing two
hundred and thirty seven pounds, here is "the Five star" Simon
Kayne!
Bob: Simon has
to focus on this match totally but you have to think that the
challenge made earlier this evening by Calypso has to be on the
back of his mind.
Cal: I am sure
right now he is thinking of nothing else but this match.
Once it's done I am sure the host of the Main event will
turn to other matters.
He slowly
begins walking down the ramp and throws his hands in the air
again, while spinning around. Simon climbs up the steps, wiping
his feet on the mat on his way into the ring. He jumps on the
second turnbuckle, throwing his arms out, posing for the crowd.
The bell rings
and the match is under way.
Billy charges forwards and Clotheslines Simon to the mat.
He then mounts him and delivers a series of punches.
Simon manages to throw him off and get to his feet.
Billy still has the momentum though and uses it to nail
Simon with a running forearm smash.
Billy then stands up and raises his arms into the air
which gets some boos from the crowd.
Cal: This guy
is a riot.
Bob: He
certainly thinks so in any case.
Billy gets
Simon to his feet and attempts a kick to the gut.
Simon blocks it however and drops Billy to the mat with a
short armed clothesline.
Simon then picks up Billy and whips him into the ropes.
He catches him coming off them with a spinebuster.
Simon then grabs one of Billy's legs and turns him over
and locks in an ankle lock.
Cal: Good
momentum change for Simon here but Billy needs to get out of
this hold as soon as he can.
Bob: Yes, if
you don't you risk a broken ankle.
Billy screams
out in pain and tries to get free of the hold.
In desperation he raises his free leg and kicks Simon in
the face. Simon
caught by surprise falls back clutching his face and of course
the hold is broken.
Billy gets to his feet and places his left foot down on the mat
gingerly just to make sure he is ok.
Simon begins to get to his feet.
Spotting this Billy charges forwards. He nails Simon with
a shining wizard and Simon is back on the mat once again.
Billy drags him up to his feet and whips him into the
corner. Simon hits
it hard and ends up slumped there.
Billy goes into the corner after Simon and utilizes a
face wash as the crowd boo.
Bob: Face wash,
I never liked that move.
Cal: That's
probably why Billy used it Bob.
The fans didn't like it much either.
Billy drags
Simon out of the corner and grabs a leg.
Billy turns Simon over and locks in a half crab.
Simon screams in pain as Billy wrenches back on the hold.
Cal: Half crab
by Billy and this time it's Simon's turn in the hold.
Bob: Yes but I
am not sure Billy dragged him into the centre of the ring
enough.
Cal: This is
true, when Simon spots it he will see that he is not miles away
from the ropes.
Simon fights to
break free of the hold but Billy maintains the pressure.
Simon looks around and spotting that he is indeed not too
far away from the ropes pulls him-self and Billy toward them.
This causes extra pain and also causes him to scream out
due to it but eventually he manages to hook the bottom rope with
his out stretched left hand.
The referee calls for the break and Billy breaks it on
the four of the count.
Billy gets Simon to his feet and whips him into the
corner. Billy then
charges after him.
Simon manages to reverse the situation and just before Billy
collides with Simon, the latter manages to toss Billy over the
top rope and to the outside.
The referee begins to count as Simon holds onto the ropes
to catch a breather.
Cal: Call that
desperation, call it opportunistic but I would call it smart
play. Simon found an
opening and was able to reverse Billy's momentum.
Bob: He did
what he had to. Had
he not he could have been staring up at the lights with his
shoulders down on the mat.
After a short
breather Simon goes to the outside him-self.
This causes the referee to restart the count.
Billy is only just back to his feet when Simon reaches
him. Simon delivers
a series of lefts and rights.
Simon then whips Billy into the ring post hard.
Billy falls to the ground and crawls away.
As Billy gets to his feet Simon gives chase.
Billy spots Simon heading towards him.
To prevent Simon from attacking him, Billy grabs Zoe (who
screams out) and uses her as a human shield.
Simon backs away.
Bob:
More disgusting antics from Billy here.
Zoe must have been petrified.
Cal: Of course
she was Bob, did you see the look on her face?
Billy grinning
runs out from behind Zoe and charges at Simon.
Simon spots this and moves out of the way.
This causes Billy to charge right into the barricade.
Simon has noticed that by this time the count has reached
seven. He grabs
Billy and rolls him into the ring.
Simon follows him in and picks up the rookie.
Simon then goes behind Billy and delivers a rolling
German suplex. Simon
gets Billy to his feet once again and hooks him up in a full
nelson. Simon then
executes a Dragon suplex.
Once the move is completed Simon hooks the leg as he
looks for the pin fall.
Bob: Dragon
suplex by Simon and he is now looking to put this one away.
One...
Two...
Kick out!
Cal: That was
closer than it looked.
Simon nearly had him right there.
Both men get to
their feet. An
exchange of lefts and rights then follow.
Billy breaks the trend by thumbing Simon in the eye.
He takes advantage of the situation by delivering a drop
kick.
Cal: and the
momentum switches just like that.
This match has had so many swings back and forth.
Bob: We knew it
was going to be quite a match but it has proven to be better
than we thought.
Billy takes
Simon over with a snap suplex.
As Simon gets back to his feet Billy brings him back down
with a powerful springboard clothesline.
Billy immediately goes for the Pin.
Bob: That
springboard clothesline could be enough here, Simon could be
done.
One...]
Two...
Kick out!
Cal: Did he get
him? No only a two.
Wow that was close.
Billy gets
Simon up to his feet and nails him with a coconut crush.
Billy then bounces off the ropes and just as Simon is
getting to his feet goes for a clothesline.
Simon spots it and manages to evade it.
Simon hooks up Billy and executes a capture suplex.
Cal: Turn
around once again only this time it looks like Simon is going to
try and end it.
Bob: I don't
doubt that Cal, both men must be exhausted.
Simon picks up
Billy and lifts him up so that he is in a Canadian rack but only
over one shoulder.
Simon then throws Billy forwards and as Billy falls towards the
mat chest first Simon grabs his head and delivers a DDT.
Simon hooks the leg as the ref drops to make the count.
Cal: We haven't
seen the Raging climax in ages but there it is and Billy surely
can't kick out of this.
One...
Two...
Three!
Bob: He can't
and he didn't. Win
for Simon Kayne.
Tim Marshal:
Here is your winner, Simon Kayne!
Billy climbs
out of the ring and with a disgusted look at Zoe he makes his
way up the ramp, signaling for her to follow.
Simon's music continues to play as he celebrates his win.
Cal: Not
Billy's night this time but I know we will see him again.
Bob: I don't
doubt that one bit Cal, definitely not the last we have heard of
him. Tonight however
Simon gets one over the rookie and he is celebrating his win.
After a few
more moments Simon climbs out of the ring.
He signs a few autographs and then takes his leave.
Cal: Still more
to come and that's not the last we will be seeing of Simon as
the Main event is on the way pretty soon.
Bob: Yes so
true, but for now it's time for a break, stay tuned and Join us
after it for more Friday night Edge.
Smoke begins to
filter into a dark screen as an image of a red line appears on
the screen.
"There are no
lines to cross."
The red line
suddenly disappears as a giant WE shows up where the line was
"This isn't
wrestling entertainment."
The letters
begin to fade away but stop and crack apart and fall out of
view.
"This is on the
Edge!"
The EDGE Logo
flashes onto the screen and begins to move to the top.
"This is
nothing but Aggression!"
The aggression
logo falls into the picture and smashes into the bottom of the
screen with force, slightly breaking apart the letters.
"You are In the
Squared Circle!"
An image of
ITSC host Brandon Cole flashes onto the screen as he talks into
a mic in his studio.
The image begins to slightly fade to where the other two words
shine through it.
"This is the
SWA!"
The SWA letters
break through the rest of the screen and smoke as they shine
bright and everything else fades out.
"THIS IS
WRESTLING!"
The SWA letters
remain along with the phrase "THIS IS WRESTLING!" under it as
the image then fades out.
( The Main Event with Guest Julio Valdez
)
Simon Kayne is standing
in the ring as "The Way You like It" by Adema plays over the
sound system. He stands with mic in hand, waiting for the crowd
to die down.
"Welcome to another
addition of The Main Event. I am your host Simon Kayne. We have
a special show for you tonight but first things first. Before I
bring out my guest tonight, I have to get a little bit off my
chest. Nothing pisses me off more than seeing young kids come
into this company and think that they know everything, that
think they are the next best thing. Which brings me to my guest
for tonight, he is a young man that is grounded, that does not
think he is better than everybody else. Ladies and gentleman,
from San Diego, California, Julio Valdez!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Till I Collapse
by Eminem hits and Julio makes his way out dressed casually in
jeans and a Chargers jersey, making his way down the ramp and
hopping up on the apron into the ring. He acknowledges the
cheering, which is hardly overwhelming but still audible with a
nod of his head before grabbing a mic of his own.
"Welcome Julio to The
Main Event, it is a pleasure to have you on."
Julio nods his head.
"Thanks for having me."
Simon: Just to get things off and running here, why don't you tell us
what you have been up to lately?
Julio: Well, I've been trying to get my feet under me here. And the past
week or so, been cleaning up some stuff in the personal life.
Had a few too many drinks, next thing I know I wake up and I'm
married to a girl I just met.... not my proudest moment, but I'm
taking care of it. I'm not someone who likes to hide his
mistakes; we all do stupid crap sometimes. Always figure it
takes more of a man to be open about stuff, instead of trying to
hide them.
Simon: Very nice to
hear that come from somebody. I know I have made my fair share
of mistakes. It is refreshing to see a young man that is so
grounded. More times than not they come in here and think the
world owes them everything. It is nice to see someone like you
changing that.
Julio: Thanks, I try my best to stay grounded and not get a big head. I
want people to take notice of me for my skills and what I bring
to the table instead of because I say I'm great. There may be a
few bumps in the road doing things my way, but at least I'll be
able to look back and be proud I did things in what I feel is
the right way.
Simon: That is good to hear. So since you brought it up, do you want to
talk about your fantastic marriage?
Julio: Well,
we're working on getting it annulled but we've ended up getting
along pretty well after the fact actually. So it did sort of end
up turning into a positive in a roundabout way.
Simon: Well that is
good to hear. Sometimes the strangest things happen. So what are
your plans going forward? Do you have anything in the works?
Julio: Well, first
thing first is getting some momentum going for myself. But while
some people might see it as putting the cart before the horse, I
think it's hard to get going if you don't have a goal to work
for. My plan is for now to try and work myself up into Anarchy
Title contention. But if nobody else steps up, I may just go for
the Xtreme Title sooner rather than later. I'm more of a
technical guy by preference, but I can brawl pretty well as
well. Mostly though, I don't think its right how Blitzer stole
that belt and if nobody else is going to then I figure I should
have a change of plan and stand up to him. Even with a 24/7 rule
having someone take out the Champion for you is still crapping
all over the belt.
Simon: Sounds like you have a plan and some priorities, which is good to
see. Now is the time where I say the stage is yours. This is
your time Julio to say what you want.
Julio: Well I usually am not one for making big proclamations. But I do
feel like I need to say this, I'm done getting jerked around by
people. I think a lot of people might have seen me as a pushover
or whatever because I try to have patience with people, and
maybe I was a bit because I had some self doubt going on. I'm
feeling confident about my direction now though, with my feet
under me and I am ready to prove everyone wrong who either took
advantage of friendship with me, laughed at me and called me a
bitch, pussy, whatever. I'm a firm believer that if I stick to
my guns I can turn some heads, but I'll just leave it at that. I
could rant on for a bit longer, but I should probably just shut
up and let my actions start speaking for themselves.
Simon: Sounds like you
are a man with a plan. I wish you all the best in this company
Julio. Ladies and Gentleman, Julio Valdez!!!!!"
"The Way you
Like it" begins to play as Simon shakes Julio's hand. Both men
then leave the ring, acknowledging briefly the still-cheering
crowd.
( Riz vs. Alex
Shade
)
Bob: The Main
Event was pretty good this time around, I have to say.
Cal: Agreed. As
Simon said, Julio is a refreshing sort of person, as there are
so few like him.
Bob: True
enough. And speaking of main events, now it’s time for our long
anticipated main event!
Cal: Alex
Shade is set to take on Riz in the last match on Friday Night
Edge. Bob, in your professional opinion who do you think
may have the upper hand going into this match??
Bob:
That’s a tough question to answer, Cal. Riz feels that the
most important thing you can do going into a match is being
mentally prepared.
Cal: That
is true, but who’s to say that Riz has more of a mental edge
than Alex Shade does?
Bob: I
guess we won’t know that answer until the end of this match, now
will we?
Tim Marshal:
The following contest is scheduled for one fall!!!!
“Paralyzer” by
Finger Eleven begins to play. Alex Shade steps out on to the
stage. He pauses for a moment looking at the crowd around him.
He gives a slight nod then throws a fist up. He continues to
walk down the ramp looking straight at the ring.
Tim Marshal:
Making his way to the ring, from Halifax Nova Scotia, weighing
in at 204 pounds, Alex Shade!!!!!!
His arms are
reached out slapping hands with the fans. The closer he gets to
the ring he begins to run. Alex slides in between the mat and
the bottom rope. He quickly rises to his feet. He jumps up the
turnbuckle and looks around again. He turns around and hops
down. He places his hands on either side of his neck and snaps
his head left and right before taking to his corner seeming to
be relaxed.
Bob: What
a huge ovation here tonight for the former Skyfall Champion,
Alex Shade.
Cal: I
can’t help but to feel excited when I see a match like this.
Nothing against new talent in the SWA, but you know you’re
always going to get a great match with two in-ring veterans like
Alex Shade and Riz.
Bob:
Ain’t that the truth, Cal.
“The Loner” by
Garry Moore begins to play and all the lights apart from the
ones above the ring which turn purple go out. They then begin to
come back on all in purple. An orange spotlight shines on the
entrance way and as the drums kick in Riz who is dressed in his
black over coat steps out from behind the curtain. He then
saunters to the ring, leaving the spotlight behind him.
Tim Marshal: On
the way to the ring, from Autumn valley, weighing one hundred
and seventy pounds, Riz!!!!
Riz makes his way down
the ramp looking directly at the ring. Once he has reached it
he climbs up onto the apron and looks around at the arena. He
then takes off his coat and hands it to security as he steps
through the ropes. He looks around at his surroundings once more
before taking a corner, readying him-self for the match.
Alex Shade and Riz stare each other down from opposite
turnbuckles.
Cal: You
talk about huge ovations, what about the one Riz just received!
Bob:
Well, there’s no doubt that the fans respect the former Anarchy
Champion greatly.
Referee Jack
Briggs talks to Alex Shade. He then goes to the other side
and talks to Riz. The bell rings to start off the match.
Alex starts the match off with a lead punch, but Riz ducks down
and avoids the move. Still low to the ground, Riz delivers
a low dropkick to the knee of Alex, knocking him down to his
knee. He then delivers a running forearm smash to the face
of Alex, sending him straight to the ground.
Cal: Riz
is so fast in the ring. Alex is already knocked to the
ground!
Bob: One
reversal and Riz can have you laid out on your back before you
even know what hit you!!
Before Alex can
get to his feet, Riz leaps up and comes down on the opponent
with both feet twice.
Cal:
There it is! The Riz Stomp!!!
Bob: Riz
is already going for the cover!!!!
One!
Two!!!
Alex gets the
shoulder up!!
Bob: The
question is when is Alex going to find the strength to gain
control in this match?!
Riz grabs Alex
by the head and picks him up to his feet. Riz steps in
front of Alex Shade, trying to go for a Russian leg sweep.
Before he can nail the move, Alex hits a series of elbows to the
temple of Riz. This knocks him back a bit, giving Alex
enough time to nail Riz with a clothesline from hell. This
knocks Riz right off his feet.
Cal:
Guess that answers your question, Bob.
Bob: Alex
has the opportunity now to turn this match right around!!
Riz staggers up
to his feet. Before he can regain complete composure, Alex
grabs Riz and hits an STO in the middle of the ring, sweeping
his leg out and slamming him down on the canvas back-first.
With Riz down Alex hooks the leg.
One!
Two!!
Kick out by Riz!!!
Alex gets up
but doesn’t let Riz get to his feet, mounting on top and hitting
a few stiff punches to the head of Riz.
Bob: If
that Space Tornado Ogawa wasn’t enough, Alex adds on a couple of
punches to add more damage!!
Cal: Did
you seriously call the STO by its full name? Really, Bob?
Alex stands up
grabs Riz by the hair. He grabs Riz around the neck in a
bulldog position. Instead of slamming him down normally,
he leaps up onto the second turnbuckle and tries to deliver a
running jumping bulldog, but Riz simply pushes Alex off of him.
Alex lands down on his back hard. Alex quickly gets back
up, only for Riz to finally hook one of his legs and nail a
Russian leg sweep.
Bob:
There it is! Riz was looking to hit that move earlier, but
now it finally worked.
Cal: What
is Riz doing now?
From there, Riz
locks in a grounded Octopus hold. Alex tries to break free
but it is no use!
Bob:
Beautiful Octopus hold by Riz. We rarely see this
submission but when it is done, it’s definitely lethal.
Cal:
Every part of his body has to hurt right about now. The
arm, the abdomen, the neck. If Alex doesn’t find a
way out he may have no choice but to tap out!
Bob: We
all know how well Riz does his submissions. This can’t be
good for Alex Shade.
Alex tries to
fight his way out, but Riz has the submission locked in too
tight. Luckily for Alex, he manages to reach over and put
a foot on the bottom rope. Riz holds the Octopus hold for
a few more seconds before the referee forces him to let go.
Alex rolls out of the ring to catch his breath.
Cal: That
may be a smart move by Alex Shade. He needs to get the
oxygen back into his body before he can even think about getting
any offense against Riz.
Bob: He
better be careful. Riz just rolled out of the ring too!
Riz and Alex
begin exchanging blows on the outside of the ring. The ref
begins to count.
One!!!
Two!!!
Riz goes for
another punch, but Alex Shade blocks and grabs the arm of Riz,
whipping him right into the metal ring post.
Three!!!
Four!!!
Alex rolls into
the ring, but the ref keeps on counting until Riz enters in.
Five!!!
Six!!! Seven!!
Bob: Riz
is dazed and confused!! He needs to regain composure!!!
Eight!!!
Nine!!!
Last second,
Riz rolls back into the ring, much to Alex’s surprise.
Before Riz can get to his feet, Alex delivers a few stomps to
the back of his neck and back, doing whatever it takes to keep
him laid out. This is no use, as we see Riz finally make
his way to his feet. Alex grabs Riz by the neck and slams
him down with a swinging neckbreaker. With Riz laid out
again, Alex goes for a quick cover!
One!
Two!!
Th….Riz gets
the foot on the bottom rope!
The referee
breaks the pin up after seeing Riz’s foot on the rope.
Alex stands up and yells at the ref briefly before turning his
attention back to Riz.
Bob: That
was a close call right there. Lucky for Riz his foot was
right next to that rope for the ropebreak.
Cal: Alex
may have gone for that pin too quickly. He could have
hooked both of Riz’s legs instead.
Alex grabs Riz
by the wrist and lifts him onto his feet, quickly going for a
stalling suplex. Alex looses his balance a bit and
out of no where, Riz grabs him by the head and delivers a jump
spinning DDT, planting Alex head-first. Not wasting
anytime, Riz grabs Alex by the legs and applies a figure four
leg lock.
Bob:
Figure Four leg lock!!! Can Alex escape!?
Alex screams in
pain and can’t seem to reach the bottom rope. He has no
choice but to tap out.
Tim Marshal :
Here is your winner, Riz!!!!
Riz gets his
hand raised by the referee. Alex holds his leg in pain and
rolls out of the ring, trying to see if his leg is injured.
Riz makes his way to the back and taunts the crowd, getting a
huge pop.
Cal: Alex
Shade put up a great showing, but the technical prowess of Riz
ended up getting the best of Alex.
Bob:
First that lethal Octopus stretch, and then the figure four leg
lock. Let’s hope the leg of Alex Shade is fine.
That’s about all the time we have tonight. For Cal Norton,
I am Bob Macatire. See you next week!!
We see a shot
of Alex gingerly leaving the ringside area as we fade to the SWA
logo, and at last to black.
