Tonight's Matches: |
|
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: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to another episode of Friday Night
Edge! I'm Bob Macatire sitting as usual alongside Cal Norton, and Cal,
yet another action-packed night in store tonight.
Cal: Absolutely. We've reached the week before Bloodsport, so things are
starting to come to a head.
Bob: I'd say some things are exploding already. For instance, we've got
Derek teaming with, of all people, Damien Acheron to face Alan Drake,
and if that's not enough, the Skyfall championship is on the line
tonight!
Cal: That's a good point, Bob. Ventor wanted that match to happen at the
pay per view, but Waldo pretty much just said, "Why wait?"
Bob: And that's not even all the action we have scheduled. In fact,
we're about to get started right now with Steve Evans, who admittedly
hasn't been doing so hot lately, against Angel Acheron, who has told us
all she is going to weed out the problem people in this company, and she
has every intention of doing this the hard, and violent way.
Cal: Yep, and she's pegged Evans as one of those. This may not be Evans'
night.
Bob: Indeed not. Let's throw it over to Tim Marshal, and get this
started.
Tim Marshal: The following match is a
No Disqualification Submission Match! Introducing first, from Saint
Louis, Missouri, Steve Evans!
The lights around the arena begin to
flash in red as smoke slowly fills the entrance way as they all focus on
the middle of the entrance stage as Steve Evans slowly steps out from
behind the curtain and into the light as all the arena is dark except
for a single red light shining down on him. The lights come back on in
the arena and begin to flash in a strobe pattern as the chorus kicks in
and Steve stands at the very top of the ramp and holds his arms up in
the air and pyro begins to shoot off around him in a circle that first
goes clockwise then counter clockwise and then pyro rains down on him as
he smiles and slowly makes his way down to the middle of the ramp and
pounds his chest and then two more big blasts of pyro shoots out from
the stage and out over the crowd and he then makes his way down the ramp
and stops at the bottom of the steps and slaps hands with a few fans. He
looks around and then makes his way up to the ring apron and holds onto
the top rope as he wipes his feet and then slowly steps into the ring.
He makes his way over to the turnbuckle and poses for the crowd and
smiles and points to a few fans and then prepares for his match.
Bob: Well this is going to be an
interesting match to say the least. All this week we weren’t even sure
if STEVE EVANS was going to show up here tonight.
Cal: What?
Bob: I was just saying that we haven’t
heard anything from STEVE EVANS all week long.
Cal: Yeah, I get that bob, but why are
you screaming his name?
Bob: I thought that’s how we where
supposed to say it…
Cal: Let’s just focus on the match
here.
Tim Marshal: And the opponent, from
Castle Bar, Ireland, Angel Acheron!
The arena goes black, Vicarious by
Tool hits the PA, and the opening of the song plays out to the :46
second mark before a spotlight shines out on the stage. Angel makes her
way out and surveys her surroundings. After the lyrics kick in at the
1:07 mark, she makes her way down to the ring slowly keeping focused on
the task at hand. As the camera zooms in, we see that she is not
empty-handed. She carries a large meathook in one hand, which she brings
to the ring with her. She also taps something that seems to be concealed
in her outfit.
Cal: And here comes Angel, she’s
looking very determined heading down here to the ring, business is on
her mind.
Bob: So very true, Cal and it looks
like she’s got some support in the crowd here tonight…
The camera moves out over the crowd,
stopping on a familiar face.
Bob: Is that… Oh wow! It’s Damien!
Damien Acheron!
Cal: No Bob, that’s legendary rock
star Alice Cooper, obviously a fan of the SWA come out to see the show
here tonight.
Bob: Really? I could’ve sworn that
was…
Cal: Oh come on Bob, they look nothing
alike! Now lets head to the ring and get this match underway.
The bell rings and the action is
quickly started. Angel wields the meat hook, smirking as she swings is
at Steve who manages to jump back and out of the way just in time, the
metal of the hook gleaming in the light as if hungry for Steve’s blood.
Backing up, Steve starts to look for a way out but Angel is already
swinging the hook again. Steve jumps back again but isn’t quite fast
enough this time, the sharp pointed tip ripping into his flesh across
his chest, bringing out the sparkling crimson seeping out of the open
wound, the evidence clear on the hook itself as well, Angel grinning
with delight.
Bob: Dear god she’s not holding
anything back here tonight!
Cal: All this blood, you’d think Bloodsport came early this year! What a vicious shot there with that meat
hook.
Steve looks down at his chest, eyes
wide in shock not yet feeling the pain but the soft burning sensation of
the fresh cut. He looks up at Angel, blinking a few times in disbelief.
Angel brings the bloody hook back up, the loop wrapping around Steve’s
neck as she pulls him closer, giving him quick hard punches straight to
the face, busting his nose. Steve’s knees buckle as he slumps down into
a kneeling position on the mat in front of Angel, blood pouring from his
nose, dripping down his chin to mix with the blood on his chest.
Cal: Steve doesn’t know what to make
of this, I don’t think he was expecting anything like this.
Bob: And that’s the problem Steve
seems to be having lately, he just doesn’t seem to have his mind in the
game at all.
Angel lets out a laugh as she looks
down at Steve, his eyes glazed over as he looks up at her, obviously no
longer there as shock takes over his system, leaving him numb and
unresponsive. Holding the meat hook firmly with in one hand to keep
Steve up on his knees, using her free hand to pull out a shard of glass,
smirking as she looks it over in her hand for a moment, forgetting about
Steve for the time being as her eyes show glimpses of the many ideas
racing through her head about how to use it most effectively.
Bob: She’s got a shard of glass in her
hand now, Steve is defenseless against her, this just does not look
good.
Cal: He is going to have to snap out
of it if he wants to make it out of this match alive!
Slowly her attention is drawn back to
Steve, a rather disturbing gleam in her eye. Her face seems to twist
slightly, giving him a look of disgust as she pulls him back up to his
feet, dragging the staggering Steve Evans over to the corner, using the
hook to whip him into it chest first. Steve lets out a scream in pain,
gripping onto the turnbuckle for support. Moving up behind him, Angel
grabs Steve’s head, slamming it hard against the turnbuckle, screaming
at him to tell him just how pathetic he is.
Cal: Angel is letting it all loose
here tonight, she wanted Steve to step up his game but obviously those
words fell on deaf ears this week.
Bob: Well I can guarantee he’s hearing
her now, Cal!
Angel screams at Steve, telling him to
fight back, to show something. She lifts the shard of glass and slashes
it across his back, ripping into the skin, blood pouring from the fresh
wounds. She continues to scream at him, slashing away at his back as she
does so.
Bob: Oh come on! They need to stop
this match now! This is going too far!
Cal: Steve knew full well what he was
getting himself into when he stepped out here.
She looks at him in disgust, tossing
both the meat hook and the shard of glass, shaking her head as Steve
Evans slumps in the corner. After a moment, she grabs him out of the
corner, tossing him to the mat and shaking her head. Suddenly she moves
down, locking him into the Crooked Halo, slamming her elbow into his
already bruised, battered and bloody body. There seems no way for Steve
to escape, already passed out from the pain. The ref quickly tries to
break the hold but Angel is having no part of it, trying to teach Steve
a lesson. Finally out of desperation the ref calls for the bell.
Cal: And that is going to be the end
of that.
Bob: Thank god! Let’s get some EMTs
out here to check on Steve Evans, I don’t think he’s going to be able to
leave the ring on his own power.
Tim Marshal: Here is your winner,
Angel Acheron!
Angel finally releases Steve, getting
up and looking down at him. EMTs rush out from the back, checking on
Evans before rolling him out of the ring and onto a stretcher, carrying
him into the back for medical attention as Angel
smirks slightly before stepping out of the ring as well.
Bob: Well what a bloody match that
was, I think it gives us all a good idea of what we could expect at the
upcoming Bloodsport.
Cal: Well put, Bob, but we’ve got
plenty more action coming up next! Like, for instance, Dominic McManus
versus Billy Talent. That type of action.
Bob: Indeed. 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: Welcome back folks to
SWA Edge! We see the Irish
superstar Dominic McManus take on Billy Tallant in our next match.
Cal: With St. Patty’s Day
just passed, will the luck of the Irish set in and will Dominic pick up
his first win tonight?!
Bob: Let’s not forget Billy
is probably hungry for a win here too, Cal.
He wants to get more wins under his belt too.
Cal: I can’t wait to see
this match. This is a battle
of newer wrestlers who are trying to take it to the next level.
Gotta love it!
Tim Marshal: The following
contest is scheduled for one fall!!
The music hits the sound system, the sound of bagpipes filling the
arena, quickly accompanied by drums. As the music begins to get into
full swing large green, white and orange pyros set off on both sides of
the stage. Dominic emerges from the back, seeming to stumble onto the
stage. A bottle of ale in hand, he holds it up, giving a yell at the
crowd. He moves to the edge of the stage, tossing the bottle off to the
side and jumps off of the stage, landing on the floor next to the ramp.
Tim Marshal: Making his way
to the ring, from Blackrock, Ireland, weighing in at 145 pounds, Dominic
McManus!!!!!
He then runs down the lane, giving high fives to those in front before
sliding into the ring and pulling his shirt off, tossing it into the
crowd before turning his attention to his upcoming opponent.
Bob: Despite how many losses
this guy has gotten you can’t help but admire his determination to turn
his situation around.
Cal: Well if he wants to
turn anything around he’s got to either pin Billy or make him submit.
Not an easy task, I might add.
His music fades out. 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
assistent, 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. He makes his way down the ramp
ignoring the boos or cheers whichever seem to be, being thrown his way.
Tim Marshal: And his
opponent, from Toronto Ontario Canada, weighing in at 159 pounds, Billy
Tallant!!
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 stares unamused at Dominic McManus.
Bob: Billy’s got a big name
to live up to. Let’s see if
he has this so-called “Tallant” here tonight!
The bell rings to start off the match. Billy and Dominic begin to
circle the middle of the ring, trying to psych out each other.
From there Billy starts the match off with a few quick jabs to the head
of Dominic, followed by a big reverse punch, knocking him off balance a
bit. From there, Billy winds up and attempts to hit Dominic with a
hook punch, but this time Dominic ducks down, grabs him around the
waist, and delivers a German suplex, sending Billy onto his back hard.
Cal: It looked as though Billy was going to get the upper hand but
that all changed quickly after Dominic reversed the hook Billy threw at
him.
Bob: I am already predicting this is going to be a stellar match.
Both these competitors are pretty much the same size and weight, give or
take a few pounds.
Cal: Yes, it should be an even match for sure!
Dominic raises his hand up and falls down with a falling elbow drop to
the chest of Billy. He stands up and does the same thing a few
more times.
Bob: Dominic isn’t going to let Billy get an opportunity to get to
his feet. Smart move!
Dominic stands up and quickly leaps up onto the top turnbuckle. He
waits a few seconds to gain balance, stares down at Billy, and goes for
a body splash. Billy simply rolls out of the way, making Dominic
land belly-first on the canvas.
Cal: And Billy avoids being squashed like a bug! Can he
build momentum up!?
With Dominic still laid out on the ground, Billy quickly rolls him up
with a small package.
One!
Two!!!
Kick out by Dominic!
Billy grabs Dominic by the hair with both hands, lifting him back onto
his feet with ease.
Bob: Billy takes control of the match once again, almost scoring a
near fall.
Cal: Now he’s picking Dominic up to his feet again. I wonder
what he has planned.
Billy grabs him around the neck and the wrist, delivering a snap suplex.
From there, Billy grabs him by the ankle, turns him onto his back, and
locks in a single leg Boston crab. Dominic tries to escape but
Billy holds a good stance.
Bob: How in the hell does Dominic plan on getting out of this one?
Just a few moments later, Dominic reaches as far as he can and manages
to grab the bottom rope. The referee calls for the ropebreak
and Billy reluctantly let’s go of the submission.
Cal: Well Bob, does that answer your question?
Bob: Why, yes. Yes it does.
Dominic crawls away from Billy, trying to regain his composure.
Dominic slowly gets to his feet. Billy sees Dominic get up and
charges forward with a running knee lift, but Dominic moves out of the
way just in time. Dominic then grabs him by the back of the head
and slams it into the turnbuckle! This stuns Billy a bit.
When Billy turns back around he is met by a jab/cross combination,
knocking him straight to the ground.
Bob: A huge double punch combination by Billy!! Is Billy
knocked out cold?!
Cal: Well, maybe Dominic wasn’t lying about being a bare knuckle
boxer after all!
Dominic simply kneels down and hooks a leg for the cover.
One!
Two!!!
Shoulder up by Billy Tallant!
Dominic stands up, and to avoid getting punched again Billy rolls out of
the ring, getting major heat from the crowd.
Bob: Don’t you hear the crowd, Billy? Get back in the ring!
Cal: Do you think Billy Tallant really gives a damn what these
fans think?
Dominic then bounces off the opposite ropes, runs forward and nails
Billy with a baseball slide to the outside of the ring. Dominic
grabs Billy by the arm, lifts him up, and slams him down once again with
a scoop slam on the outside of the ring. Dominic then slides into
the ring.
Bob: Well Dominic just hurt Billy pretty bad, especially with that
huge scoop slam.
Cal: Looks like the referee has no choice but to start the
out-of-ring count!
The referee begins counting.
One! Two! Three! Four!
Billy slowly gets to his feet.
Five! Six! Seven! Eight!!
Billy then rolls into the ring at the count of eight. Infuriated,
Dominic grabs Billy by the arm, Irish whipping him across the ring.
When Billy bounces off the ropes and goes back toward Dominic, Dominic
tries to go for a clothesline. Billy ducks down out of harm’s way.
Cal: Dominic misses! Billy shows his agility right there!
When Dominic turns around, he is met with a swift kick to the stomach.
Billy bends down a bit, and nails him with an Evenflow DDT, sending
Dominic face-first into the mat. Dominic seems to be knocked out
cold.
Bob: Evenflow DDT! Dominic isn’t even moving around after
that one!
Cal: He’s going for a cover!
One!
Two!!!
Three!!!!!
The bell begins to ring and Billy stands up, getting his hand raised by
the referee.
Tim Marshal: Here is your winner, Billy Tallant!!!!!!
Billy ducks under the ropes and jumps out of the ring, meeting up with
Zoe. The two walk up the ramp and raise their arms and taunt the
crowd, only to get nothing but boos.
Bob: Explosive finish by Billy Tallant! There was no way
Dominic McManus would be able to kick out of that huge DDT.
Cal: And still, Dominic has a winless record here in the SWA.
Things really need to turn around for the Irish wrestler, and fast.
Bob: Well up next we have some
great matches planned! Thomas Carmichael versus Calypso the
Deformed! Alan Drake takes on both Derek Lavelle and Damien
Acheron in a handicap match! And the main event, we get to see
Mark Ventor challenge Waldo Valdo Escobar for the Skyfall Title!
Don’t go anywhere!!!!
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: Welcome back, and ladies and gentlemen it's time for Calypso the
Deformed to take on Thomas Carmichael.
Cal: Thomas has been doing really, really well for himself lately. In
fact, you could say he's on a bit of a roll. I honestly think Calypso
will have quite a challenge to overcome here.
Bob: You may be right. Carmichael has proven himself to this company. He
is indeed a superstar now.
Cal: And Calypso, well, he's Calypso.
Bob: Good enough. Let's go to Tim Marshal at ringside. ( Thomas Carmichael vs. Calypso The Deformed )
Tim Marshal: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
For whom the bell tolls by Metallica
begins to play and Michelle steps out onto the stage. She smiles and waves at the booing fans before
making her way down the ramp. After she begins her walk to the ring Calypso steps out
and follows her down to the ring.
Tim Marshal: Introducing first, from
Newcastle, England, weighing in at 410 pounds, Calypso the deformed!
Bob: Well there's Calypso being lead
by his manager Michelle. And speaking of leading him, I don't think I
truly realized just how much she does lead him until this week.
Cal: Yeah, you get the impression she
literally tells him everything to say, and if she didn't, he wouldn't
say anything at all.
Bob: Maybe he wouldn't. Regardless, he
sees Carmichael as just another guy in his way. Wonder if he'll barrel
on through tonight.
Michelle takes in the boos as if they
are all for her and continues to smile broadly.
When they reach it Michelle gets into the ring
and then indicates for Calypso to do the same. Calypso then steps over the top rope
and walks to a corner as Michelle hops out of the ring.
As Black Betty plays through the
speakers Thomas steps out onto the entrance ramp, he stares straight
ahead and walks down as green and gold pyro goes off behind him ala
Edge.
Tim Marshal: And his opponent, from
Adelaide, Australia, weighing 275 pounds,Thomas Carmichael!
Bob: Thomas's following has grown and
grown since he got here. The emotion he's showing, the humanity, not to
mention the passion, have made the fans love him.
Cal: And it's that same passion that
drives him now. This kid has the potential to go far, and tonight is
gonna be one of those nights that gives us a hint as to whether or not
he will.
Thomas slides into the ring and sits
on top of the back right turnbuckle, looking across the ring at Calypso
for a bit before hopping down, and waiting in the corner. Calypso shifts
on his feet, but his eyes remain locked on Carmichael.
Bob: Both men getting set for the
match here...
Cal: The moment just before a match
starts is always so intense. I love it.
The bell rings, and both men move
toward one another at a quick pace. It is Calypso who gains the first
advantage, though, using his reach advantage to snag Carmichael by the
throat, and lift him into the air.
Bob: Oh man! Calypso already has
Carmichael in his grasp!
Cal: This is definitely not the way
Carmichael wanted to start this match.
Calypso executes a throat toss,
sending Carmichael right back where he came from. Carmichael's back
strikes the turnbuckle in his corner hard before he lands in a heap on
the mat.
Bob: And there's a throat toss.
Calypso's definitely thinking big to begin this one.
Cal: He wants to hurt him. He's
probably thinking he needs to make sure Carmichael doesn't get in his
way again.
Carmichael lays still for a moment,
and Calypso begins walking toward him. Suddenly, however, Carmichael
pushes himself up, and is on his feet far more quickly than Calypso
thought he would be. He rushes forward, and shoulder blocks Calypso,
staggering him a bit before delivering a basic double-leg takedown.
Bob: Carmichael sucks it up, and
delivers the takedown! Great work there by Carmichael.
Cal: Yeah, but he's gonna have to do a
lot more work if he wants to put a guy like Calypso down.
Indeed, Calypso is on his feet before
Carmichael has a chance to work him over on the ground. Both men lock
up, and surprisingly, there is an actual struggle. A struggle that
nobody wins. They break the lockup, and begin trading blows, a contest
that also seems to be even until Calypso delivers a savage throat
thrust, causing Carmichael to fall backward, choking and spluttering.
Bob: Throat thrust!
Cal: Calypso seems to think the way to
win is to cut off Carmichael's air supply while causing him pain at the
same time. And if anyone can do those things, he can. Wait a minute!
Gritting his teeth, and fighting the
intense urge to go into another coughing fit, Thomas surges back up, and
moves forward, surprising Calypso and hitting him with a quick
succession of blows that drive him back into the corner.
Bob: He's back up? He's back up! I
don't believe it.
Cal: Apparently not, since it was a
question the first time. Then again, I don't think I believe it either.
Carmichael steps back, then lunges
forward, hitting Calypso with a solid clothesline that nocks him hard
back into the turnbuckle. Then, Carmichael begins whaling on him with
everything he's got.
Bob: My God, look at Carmichael go!
He's on fire here!
Cal: He is at that. I sense some pent
up emotion.
Calypso has trouble getting his guard
up against Carmichael's assault, but finally, out of desperation, he
manages to grab Carmichael around the middle, and heave him straight up
into the air. Then, adjusting his position, Calypso sends him across the
ring with a running powerbomb, thus also moving him away from the
corner.
Bob: And out of desperation, Calypso
nails the powerbomb.
Cal: It may've been a desperation
move, Bob, but it also might've been enough. With the damage to his
throat, I fully expect high-impact moves to take more of Carmichael's
wind out of him than normal.
Carmichael does appear stunned, but
Calypso doesn't immediately go after him, as he needs to take a moment
for his own rest and recovery. Unfortunately, Carmichael still manages
to recover relatively quickly given the circumstances, and is struggling
to his feet just as Calypso starts to approach him. Angered, Calypso
begins trading blows with Carmichael once again, expecting it to turn
out in a similar fashion. This time, though, it is Carmichael who goes
for the throat, and not for a throat thrust. Heaving with all of his
might, Carmichael manages to lift Calypso into the air, and though he
doesn't hold him there for long, he still delivers a picture perfect
crucification.
Bob: The Crucification from Thomas
Carmichael!
Cal: I certainly wasn't expecting that
one, especially with those two brawling.
Bob: Well here's the cover!
Carmichael drops down and pins
Calypso. We briefly see a shot of Michelle, whose face contains a
mixture of boredom and disappointment.
1...
2...
3!
The bell rings, and Carmichael's music
begins to play. The crowd cheers wildly.
Tim Marshal: Here is your winner,
Thomas Carmichael!
Bob: And the Carmichael rise continues
with a victory over Calypso! Wow, what a match.
Cal: I guess Calypso didn't push
through. Instead, he was held back.
Bob: I wonder if he'll care? Arguably,
Carmichael isn't actually in his way. He never really was.
Cal: Agreed. We'll see what happens I
guess.
Carmichael leaves the ring with a
broad smile on his face. Michelle climbs in, helping Calypso as best she
can.
Bob: We will indeed. For now, it's
breaktime. Still to come tonight, the title match between Waldo and
Ventor, but up next, we've got crazy handicapped action as Derek and
Damien take on Alan Drake.
Cal: Crazy is an understatement, but
we'll see it next.
Announcer: Are you tired of fighting
those unbearably cold nights with blankets that just don't seem to cut
it?
A scene pops up, a man sitting on a
couch, shivering as a small square washcloth is placed on his chest. His
teeth chatter as he nods his head, answering the voiceover with a yes.
Announcer: Heating bills can blow the
roof off your savings.
The man looks up as the ceiling flies
off of his house, a horrified look on his face.
Announcer: And fires can be dangerous
and messy.
Suddenly a cloud of soot hit's the man
on the couch and his washcloth catches fire. He lets out a scream,
jumping up and stomping out the fire on his rug.
Announcer: Well the answer to your
warmth is finally here!
The man is breathing heavily, covered
in soot and still wondering where his roof went.
Man: What the hell?
Announcer: That's right! Introducing
the brand new Huggie!
A large blanket suddenly wraps tightly
around the man, restricting his arms, more like a straight jacket.
Announcer: The Huggie is machine
washable, super large and perfect for any occasion.
The man struggles inside the confines
of the blanket.
Man: Get this thing off of me!
Announcer: The Huggie wraps securely
around you, making you feel as snug as a bug!
The man starts to freak out, flailing
about as he tries to free his arms.
Man: What the. get. get out of my
house!
Announcer: Everyone loves the Huggie
and is can be yours with just three small payments of $39.99!
Man: I don't like this! Where the hell
is my roof?! The man tries to break free, tripping over the end of the Huggie and breaking through his coffee table. The scene fades out, showing the Huggie logo.
Announcer: Supplies are limited so
order yours today!
The man's voice can be heard somewhere
in the back ground.
Man: Hello? .. Help.
Announcer: The Huggie! Order ten.
NOW!!!!!!
Bob:
Hold on to your hats everyone.
Alan, Damien, and Derek are up next and with the way things
started last week on Edge When Alan called out Derek after a
confrontation in a parking lot this match is going to certainly be
strongly contested.
Cal:
Alan is so disgusted with Derek right now that he was only too
happy to except this match but how much of a smart move was it? Bob: I am not sure Cal but the only way we will find out is buy heading to ringside and our intrepid ring announcer Tim Marshal.
(
Alan Drake vs. Derek Lavelle and
Damien Acheron - Handicap Match
Tim Marshal: The following handicap
match is scheduled for one fall.
Suddenly drums kick in and are
followed up by guitar as "Gallon of Faith" by 8KOunt hits the speakers. As the
vocal track comes in and "HEY!" is yelled, pyro explodes from the stage. The fans
begin cheering as the Skytron begins showing footage of various Alan Drake matches, such as
Alan kicking B. Cool in the face, Alan glaring into the camera after the attack made
by Sirus and Haddon and Alan holding the Skyfall championship. Alan himself steps out
of the smoke lingering from the pyro and grins.
Tim Marshal: On the way to the ring,
From Castlebar Ireland, Weighing two hundred and thirty pounds, here is
Alan Drake!
Cal:
Alan strongly feels that Derek hurt allot of people and put on a
real act to fool everyone.
Bob:
You know I have never seen Alan so focused and so determined as
he was last week and in his promo this week.
This man whole heartedly believes everything he is saying.
Cal:
That's dangerous Bob, really dangerous.
A man like Alan with the focus that unflinching focus.
Just because he is against two men doesn't mean by any means he
can't pull this off.
He makes his way down to the ring and
slides under the bottom rope. Once he gets to his feet, he heads to the center
and throws up his arms as the fans roar. He then moves to his corner and awaits his
opponents.
The
lights change to a blue and white as Swandive Suicide by Hail The
Villain hits the speakers. The camera switches
from the stage area to a camera pointed at the fans in the arena and it pans a
bit to the left before going back to the stage area in time for Derek to walk out.
Tim Marshal: Introducing his
opponents, first, From Castlebar Ireland, weighing two hundred and ten
pounds, here is Derek Lavelle!
Bob:
Derek believes he doesn't have to answer to Alan for everything
he has done.
Cal: No that's right and Derek also
stated that Alan has some kind of conspiracy theory and that Damien and
Derek were in cahoots.
He makes his way down the ramp,
glancing every now and then at the fans to the side
of him but for the most part staying all business. He enters the ring by climbing up the
ringsteps, stepping between the first and second rope and then ducking under. Walking
over to his corner, he takes a few moments to look around at the fans before turning
his eyes on his opponent.
"I am the Spider" by Alice Cooper hits
the speakers as fog machines begin to build up a wall of fog on the stage
that seems to roll off of it. The strobe lights make it change color from a black
light white glow to red and then to gold. Damien steps out and parts the wall of fog.
He then steps through it and makes his way down to the ring.
Tim Marshal: And introducing, from
Castlebar Ireland, weighing one hundred and Sixty pounds, here is Damien
Acheron!
Cal: So who's Alan really got beef
with here, Damien, Derek or him-self?
Bob:
I am not sure but Damien said that a hero with no enemies to
fight makes them out of friends.
Cal: That's a strong thing to say but
perhaps there is some truth to it?
Once there he walks up the ring steps
and enters the ring in a traditional manner. The whole time he's calm and
collected and when he looks you in the eye it's almost like looking at the reaper
himself.
There is a tense few moments and the
whole arena seems to be completely engulfed by all of the tension.
Bob: These three men know each other
so well. the whole place can
just feel the tension here tonight.
Cal:
It's literally electric.
I knew were going to have an unfriendly atmosphere but I didn't
know it would be this tense.
The bell rings finally and Alan steps
forwards as do Derek and Damien.
Alan goes for Derek first and delivers a series of punches.
Derek gives as good as he gets and then manages to get the upper
hand. Derek whips Alan into
the ropes and it's Damien who reacts first as Alan bounces back.
Damien nails Alan with a clothesline.
Damien drags Alan to his feet and whips him into the corner.
Alan hits it hard.
Derek Charges in but Alan moves out of the way.
Derek crashes into the turnbuckle shoulder first which makes a
sickening thud. Derek
clutches his left shoulder even though it was his right one that hit the
turnbuckle.
Cal: Ouch Derek crashed into the
turnbuckle right shoulder first and he is clutching his left one?
Bob:
I don't know why he is doing that unless he some how hurt that
one too.
Cal: How could he have Bob?
Alan doesn't spot this as he was
getting out of the way of Derek's charge and had one eye on Damien.
Alan charges forwards and nails Damien with a running knee.
As Damien falls back Alan once again turns his attention to
Derek. Alan lifts up Derek
and delivers a shoulderbreaker.
He targets the left shoulder after seeing Derek favouring it.
After completing the move Alan has no choice but to turn his
attention back to Damien as the latter is getting to his feet.
Cal:
Alan's going to do the natural thing and target that shoulder.
Bob: and then quickly move on to
Damien. This is such a
difficult situation for Alan.
He can't turn his attention away from one for too long.
Cal:
I am sure that knowing the two of them will also really help Alan
here.
Alan hooks Damien's head and attempts
to twist around to complete a swinging neckbreaker but half way through
the twist Damien slips out and with Alan's back to Damien, the Latter
hooks the head of the former and drives him down with a reverse DDT.
Bob:
These guys know each other so well.
They will be able to scout each others moves instinctively.
Cal:
Exactly what Damien did to Alan right there.
Damien gets into position by standing
near Alan's head and raises his foot.
Alan knowing what Damien is about to do grabs the raised foot and
rolls over still holding the foot
so that Damien is brought crashing back first to the mat.
Derek makes his way over and drags Alan to his feet.
He then stands to the side of Alan and waistlocks him.
Derek then takes Alan to the mat with a gutwrench suplex.
Damien gets to his feet and stands in one of the corners smiling
slightly and with his arms folded as Derek goes to work on Allan by
first delivering a couple of stomps.
Bob:
Derek taking control as Damien looks on.
Cal: Wouldn't Damien want to help out?
Bob:
I don't think so Cal.
He will step in when ever he feels like it but I am sure he feels like
he taught Derek well.
Damien then locks in a half crab and sits back to apply pressure on Alan's
back and leg. Alan valiantly tries to fight out of it and eventually
reaches the ropes. Derek
after a count of four Releases the hold and Alan quickly pulls him-self
up to his feet with the ropes as an aid.
Derek makes his way over to Alan but Alan spots it and delivers a
powerful right to the left
shoulder of Derek. Derek
winces in pain as he staggers back.
Alan takes the opportunity to hook up Derek and take him over
with a Northern lights suplex.
Alan Bridges for the pin.
Damien looks on as the ref drops for the count.
Bob: The first pin fall attempt and
it's by Alan.
One...
Two...
Kick out!
Cal: No only a two but a good move by
Alan.
As Alan gets to his feet he finds
him-self face to face with Damien who has now stepped back into the
middle of the ring. Both men exchange steely looks before preparing to
mix it up. Damien and Alan
exchange a flurry of punches and on this occasion Damien gets the best
of it. Damien follows it up
with a high angled DDT. Damien then locks on an over the shoulder half
crab and adds a fish hook for good measure.
The Referee Ned Lewis asks Alan if he wants to quit but he shakes
his head as best as he can whilst being fish hooked.
Cal:
There is no way Alan is going to give up that easily here.
I know the ref is only doing his job but a waste of time in my
opinion.
Bob:
Right Cal. That's a
vile move and for Alan to still be hanging on shows exactly what he is
made of. Don't forget that
this is after all the attacks from both Derek and Damien.
Alan then gathers as much strength as
he can and using his arms pushes up.
This causes Damien to fall forwards and Allan kicks out (as
Damien falls) with his free leg which catches Damien on the side of the
head. Alan untangles
him-self from Damien and rolls over.
Derek drags Alan to his feet and hooks him up for a suplex.
As Derek lifts Alan in the air the latter manages to free
him-self from Derek's grip.
The result is that Alan is able to flip back and land on his feet behind
Derek. As Derek turns Alan
aims a strong kick at that left shoulder of Derek's.
Derek blocks it with his left arm and then drives his left
shoulder into the ribs of Alan causing Alan to fall on his back.
Alan rolls over and gets to his feet,
a look of surprise etched on his face.
Cal:
What a trick from Derek.
There he has revealed that his left shoulder is fine.
Bob; Look at the look on Alan's face,
he can't believe it.
This momentary laps in
concentration costs him though.
Damien nails Alan with a clothesline from behind which drops the
Ironman to the mat. Derek
picks up Alan and sets him up for the means to an end.
Cal: Means to an end.
That little distraction with the shoulder could have cost him the
match.
Bob:
It's a smart move if you can get away with it and only time will
tell if Derek does.
Alan fights out of it and lands on his
feet in front of Derek. Alan
nails Derek with an enzuguiri and then turns and nails Damien with a
spinning heel kick. Alan
then heads to the top rope.
Bob:
Wow Alan is looking to put this away. Just when you think it's
all over the Ironman shows why he is called just that.
Cal:
That was a good escape but will he be able to land this move and
perhaps finish the match?
Alan leaps off when Derek gets to his
feet but Derek drops to one knee and manages to catch Alan. Alan is in
perfect position for the Means to an end!
This time Derek nails it and hooks the leg.
Cal:
What a mistake by Alan and Derek is ready to take full advantage.
This match could be over right now.
One...
Two...
Three!
Bob:
He got it, Derek and Damien win this match.
Derek's music begins to play as Derek
and Damien exchange a look which is unreadable.
Damien then gets out of the ring and begins to make his way up
the ramp.
Tim Marshal:
Here are your winners, Derek Lavelle and Damien Acheron!
Cal: What a match Bob, this was
everything we were expecting and so much more.
Bob:
Alan really held out and it was that one mistake that cost him.
Derek had that attempted Missile drop kick well scouted and was
able to catch Alan and execute the Means to an end.
Alan gets to his feet and looks at
Derek. The look on Alan's face is
frightening. As Damien is
half way up the ramp and
with out any warning Alan charges at Derek. Alan takes the surprised
Derek down to the mat with a spear and then begins to pound away at him
with vicious punches. Derek
tries to fight Alan off but the enraged Alan is not for relinquishing
his advantage so easily.
Bob: This is not over by a long shot.
Alan is fuming and has just totally lost it.
Cal:
Come on ref stop this, the match is over.
After a few more punches Alan gets to
his feet, bounces off the ropes and lands a jumping knee drop to the
chest of Derek. Still
looking furious Alan picks up Derek and sets him up for the Drake
driver. Derek fights out of
it and kicks out the legs of
Alan. Derek then locks in
the Crossface on Alan.
Cal: The jaws of the dragon by Derek
on Alan. He is using Alan's
own move against him.
Bob: This whole situation is just
getting out of hand. Look at
the furious look on Derek's face.
You have to believe Derek is not going to let go of this hold.
Alan tries to fight out of one of his own finishers but Derek has it locked on to tight.
Alan struggles and struggles and eventually referee Ned Lewis has
no choice but to part the two men.
Bob: Ned Lewis had no choice but to
get involved here this would have just gone on and on had he not.
Cal:
You are right Bob.
There is so much anger that no intervention would have caused someone to
get hurt.
Derek gets to his feet and takes the
mic from Tim Marshal.
Derek: Alan you said you always get what you want? Well now you've got
me at Bloodsport in an Ironman match. You've bit off more than you can
chew.
Cal: Wow an Ironman match at
Bloodsport? There is
certainly an irony here don't
you think Bob?
Bob: Yes, not unlike Derek
to challenge the Ironman to an Ironman match.
Cal: That is such a fitting
match for Bloodsport though as well.
Bob: It's going to be a fantastic spectacle and this is just a preview
of what's to come next week.
Derek
drops the mic and heads out of the ring and up the ramp.
Cal: What a match and there is yet
more action to come. Bob: There sure is. Stay tuned everyone because after the break we have Waldo defending his title against Ventor.
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 Simon Kayne )
The Way you Like It” by Adema hits the
PA as pyro explodes and the Main Event logo flashes on the screen. Simon
Kayne makes his way down to the ring with the mic in hand. He slides
under the bottom rope and poses for the crowd.
Simon: It seems as Bloodsport is upon
us, I have decided to enter the timed Battle Royal for the Xtreme Title.
My guest tonight, is in that very same match and I would like to welcome
Thomas Von Karstein.
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. Then in an instant the red light is back and the flapping sound is
gone. Beside Simon Kayne now stands Thomas von Karstein. He is dressed
in his usual Victorian Attire and his vampire cloak. His arms are
crossed before his chest but he is holding a mic in one hand. With a
smirk he looks at Simon as his music fades out and the light turns
normal.
Simon: Welcome to The Main Event
Thomas, it is good to have you.
Thomas: Thank you.
Simon pauses for a moment as he rubs
his chin.
Simon: Well let us cut to the chase.
What is up with you and Seth? I never saw you as a follower.
He raises an eyebrow at Simon as if he
was surprised with that question.
Thomas: Vhat ist up vith me and my
Master? I am surprised you asked something like that. I have been his
servant since I came to this place. It vas him vho brought me here. Have
you forgotten that?
Simon looks confused now. Simon: No Thomas, I don’t remember that at all. In fact I remember Seth coming here after you got here. So care to explain yourself?
He shrugs.
Thomas: You are misinformed. How do
you vant to remember anything in that, you have not been here yourself.
Simon: You are saying I was not here.
I seem to recall putting a pretty bad beating on Seth when he first
showed up when he thought he knew everything about everything. Have you
taken one too many shots to the head lately? You are delusional.
He narrows his eyes glaring at Simon.
Thomas: Ah I see. You either have
fallen to the lies that my Master varned me of, or you are trying to
mess vith my head because you know you cannot defeat me in the upcoming
match.
Simon: This has nothing to do with the
match at Bloodsport at all Thomas. I am trying to figure out how you can
fall under such a spell that you think everything is a lie. You are like
the President of Iran that believes the Holocaust never happened. Do you
honestly believe everything you are saying?
Thomas: Vhy should I lie? Did I ever
lie about myself or vhat I vas about?
Simon: You are doing it right now
Thomas. You are standing there right in front of me and you are telling
me I was not here and I have no idea what I am talking about. You think
it is just a ploy of me messing with your head, but it is just me
interviewing you so these fans get an idea of what is going on. They
know what has happened in the past, I know what has happened in the
past. Are you going to sit there and say we are all lying to you in some
plot against you?
He looks around at the fans. Then back
at Simon. For a moment he blinks as if he was not sure but then it
passes and he smirks again.
Thomas: Not at me no. If any of you
plots, than it ist against my Master. And for that I am just a simple
target. And I am not saying everybody ist plotting. As I said there are
lies around about me and people seem to believe them.
Suddenly he turns to the fans ignoring
Simon completely
Thomas: It ist scientifically proven
that Blitzerpro not only heightens your brain functions and helps vith
any task; it also enhances your memory capacity! Drink Blitzerpro!
He states this commercial with a
winning smile of his fangs.
Simon puts his arm out in front of
Thomas. Simon: This is not a forum for you to come out here and hock some shitty drink. That is your problem Thomas, Seth has your mind wrapped around his little pinky. Can you not see you are just a puppet to him? He is making you believe everything he tells you. If Seth were to tell you jumping off of the Brooklyn Bridge would lead to a life of happiness would you do it?
Thomas turns around facing Simon
again, now looking very angered.
Thomas: Of course I vould. He ist my
Master. My existence belongs to him and if he vants me to jump from a
bridge I vould.
He gets into Simons face, growling
now.
Thomas: And do not talk like that
about Blitzerpro.
Simon: Then you are an idiot Thomas. I
will talk about Blitzerpro any way I like. You are a mindless fool who
is letting someone run him.
Thomas growls and hits Simon in the
head with the mic and it makes him stagger but not fall. Again Thomas
hits Simon and this time it is enough to bring him to the mat. Angered
Thomas stomps away at Simon.
Thomas: You vill respect Blitzerpro!
And you vill lose at Bloodsport!
After a couple more stomps he stops
and throws the mic at the fallen Simon. The lights go out and the noise
of a bat swarm is heard. The light comes back on, showing Thomas has
vanished and Simon slowly sitting up, holding his head dazed. Simon
grabs the mic.
Simon: Can’t handle the truth can you
Thomas. I will see your ass at Bloodsport.
"The Way you Like it" plays again as
Simon exits the ring, and fades out as he heads backstage.
Bob: Well if it wasn't clear already,
it seems that anyone trying to sway Thomas Von Karstein is fighting a
losing battle.
Cal: Yeah, puppet boy seems pretty set
in his ways.
Bob: Well with that out of the way,
it's time for a Main Event of a different sort. This one for the Skyfall
Championship.
Cal: Ventor challenged Waldo for this
match at Bloodsport, but it got moved up.
Bob: Well time to find out if he's the
one who can knock off the undefeated Waldo, so let's head to Tim Marshal
to get us started.
Tim Marshal: The following contest is
scheduled for one fall, and it is for the Skyfall Championship!
"Wolfbiker" by Evergreen Terrace
begins to play as Ventor walks out onto the stage. As Ventor makes his
way to the ring, orange pyros erupt from the stage. He begins to strut
down the ramp in a flashy robe, getting a mixed reaction from the crowd.
Tim Marshal: Introducing the
challenger, from Trenton, New Jersey, weighing in at 280 pounds, Mark
Ventor!
Bob: I was surprised Ventor waited for
Waldo to say something before he decided to promote the match this week
given he was the one who made the challenge.
Cal: You'd have expected him to come
out guns blazing like Waldo said. Also, given the boldness of some of
his words calling Waldo you'd think he'd have stood up for himself some
more once Waldo came firing back strong. Stick to his guns a bit more.
Bob: Well, maybe he felt he had
nothing more to say. Let's see if he can do his talking in the ring.
He slides into the ring, raising his
hands in the air, to make his arms shaped like a "V." He jumps off and
takes his robe off. He folds it up and waits for his opponent.
"Let Me Entertain You" hits the
speakers. As the piano kicks in the lights begin to strobe in rainbow
colors as the gay pride flag pops up on the skytron and then disappears
until Waldo Valdo Escobar is the only thing left filled in with rainbow.
Waldo comes skipping out onto the stage wearing tight fitting sparkly
pink spandex and blue face paint.
Tim Marshal: Introducing the Champion,
from Encino, California, weighing in at 150 pounds, Waldo Valdo Escobar!
Cal: Waldo wanted this match this week
rather than Bloodsport, as he felt like defending the title as soon as
possible.
Bob: He also felt Ventor wanted the
Pay Per View spotlight more than the actual title, and made it clear he
doesn't think Ventor is anywhere near ready to be Champion once more.
He skips down into the ring, and
unstraps his title belt from his waist handing it to senior official
Bill Graves before the bell rings to start the match. They square off
and Ventor goes for a clothesline which Waldo ducks under and delivers a
couple of kicks to the leg of Ventor looking to knot up his thigh.
Ventor shoves him away and using his long reach delivers a series of
straight punches, followed by an elbow strike. He whips Waldo off the
ropes and delivers a big back body drop on the rebound sending Waldo
crashing back first to the mat. He follows up with a hip toss, then as
Waldo stands back up delivers a roundhouse kick to the temple before
falling into a lateral press for the first pin attempt of the match as
Bill Graves drops down to count.
One ...
Two ...
Waldo was knocked a bit woozy from the
kick, but kicks out quite easily still.
Bob: Ventor on the offensive early
here with some impressive striking.
Cal: You know Waldo will get back in
this match though, he's been in a lot worse situations than that early
flurry and weathered the storm every time.
Ventor drags Waldo up to his feet and
goes to set him up for a double underhook DDT, but Waldo spins out into
a hammerlock bumping and grinding up behind Ventor before he snapmares
him over and locks in a body scissors. As Ventor tries to make his way
towards the ropes Waldo has a big grin on his face seeming to enjoy the
position. After some struggle Ventor finally makes the ropes for a
break. Waldo starts to break clean, but smacks Ventor with a hard bitch
slap across the face before he backs away with his hands up. An
infuriated Ventor charges forward, but is met with a standing dropkick
from Waldo staggering the big man. He then connects with a spinning heel
kick taking Ventor down before he goes into a cover of his own. Bill
Graves goes down to check the shoulder as Waldo hooks both legs.
One ...
Two ...
Ventor kicks out emphatically.
Cal: Waldo with some momentum now,
Ventor needs to slow him down.
Bob: Well he does have plenty of big
match experience himself, I doubt he's panicking or anything here.
Waldo climbs up to the top rope and as
Ventor staggers up he leaps off for a flipping leg drop but Ventor moves
out of the way causing him to land hard in a seated position. Taking
advantage of this, Ventor delivers a big overhead belly to belly suplex
sending the smaller opponent flying. Scooping Waldo up on his shoulders
he then looks to deliver a TKO, but Waldo wiggless his way free and
lands on his feet. Ventor immediately catches him in a Muay Thai clinch
though, and unloads with a brutal series of knees. With the Champion
dazed, he transitions from the clinch to a clawhold looking for an STO
takedown. Waldo elbows out, and delivers a knife edge chop. Ventor fires
back with a stiff jab, then looks for a kick but Waldo catches the leg
and spins him down to the mat hard with an emphatic dragon screw leg
whip. He quickly makes his way out onto the apron and slingshots his way
back in onto the downed Ventor with a senton falling right into the
cover as Bill Graves counts.
One ...
Two ...
Ventor kicks out again.
Bob: Okay, now I'll agree with you
that he really needs to slow this roll by Waldo down.
Cal: Told you so Bob, score one for
me.
Looking to continue his momentum,
Waldo grabs Ventor by the head as he gets up to one knee and runs up the
ropes looking to deliver a tornado DDT but Ventor is able to use his
power to shrug Waldo off sending him back. As Waldo charges back towards
him, Ventor counters with a big spear taking him down. Using that
opportunity, Ventor tries to get his bearings back about him as he's
been scrambling off balance from the pressure Waldo's been putting on
him. Climbing back up to his feet, he drags Waldo up with him and lifts
him over his shoulder. He then drives Waldo's shoulder down into his
knee for a shoulder breaker
before tossing him down to the mat. Climbing up to the top rope himself,
showing great agility for his size Ventor leaps off delivering a diving
headbutt that catches Waldo square in the chest. Crawling into the
cover, Bill Graves makes the count once more.
One ...
Two ...
Waldo kicks out again, with a bit less
authority then previously though.
Ventor looks frustrated, but stays on
the attack setting Waldo up in position for a reverse DDT. Waldo in an
innovative counter is able to deliver a kick from his upside down
position to free himself and then goes to whip Ventor off the ropes.
Ventor reverses it, but Waldo ducks under a big boot from him. He goes
for a kick of his own as Ventor spins around, and then delivers an
enziguiri, sending Ventor stumbling into the corner. Following up with a
mushroom stomp, Waldo has Ventor staggering backwards then springs off
the ropes getting some momentum to deliver a spinning headscissors which
he uses as a set up to lock in the Slow Dance! Ventor frantically looks
around and tries to look for a way out but he's too far in the center of
the ring, and Waldo won't relinquish his grip. Finally he has no choice
but to tap out as Bill Graves calls for the bell!
Tim Marshall: Here is your winner and
still Skyfall Champion, Waldo Valdo Escobar!
Cal: Wow, he got him to tap out!
Bob: What a great victory for Waldo,
successfully defending his title by getting the challenger to submit.
"Let Me Entertain You" plays as the
crowd cheers and Bill Graves raises Waldo's hand in victory. He
continues to celebrate as a dejected Ventor heads to the back.
Cal: Waldo can certainly be pleased
with his performance tonight, showing why he's the Champion.
Bob: That's certainly right. Wait,
okay ... I'm getting word we need to head backstage. I'm not sure
exactly what the reasoning is, but let's go to our camera crew there.
Riz makes his way out of his locker
room. He had been watching the show from a monitor and was heading to
the car he had rented. He walks through the door and heads down the
corridor . He makes his way out of the side entrance and turns to head
for the street where he had parked his car. He makes his way down a back
street which was a shortcut to where he was headed. He pauses as he
hears a sound. Deciding that he is just imagining things he continues to
walk. Suddenly a shape drops down before him. As if it had fallen out of
the sky. The dark shape lands in a crouch and straightens up. His cloak
flutters in the wind as bats swarm a way from him screeching. A pair of
red glowing eyes glares at Riz out of the twilight. Riz steps back more
out of surprise than anything else.
Riz: Thomas?
With a growl the figure steps into the
shine of a streetlight. His pale face is distorted with anger. Body
tensed like a spring, ready to attack. He tilts his head a bit, not
taking his angry glare off Riz. His voice sounds more like a hiss.
Thomas: Riz…
He just lets the name fade out. Riz
looks at Thomas trying to get an idea of what's going on.
Riz: Thomas what's going on?
His posture is a little more tense now
as he notices the way Thomas is poised. A very strange grin appears on
Thomas face. One that is part amusement, part anger, and part showing
the opponent the fangs.
Thomas: I am going to settle some old
scores vith you.
Riz looks on at Thomas and his
expression is still uncertain.
Riz: Some old scores?
With an animalistic roar that is
missing any human note Thomas launches himself at Riz, spearing him to
the ground. The latter is just to surprised by the sudden attack to
react. Thomas wastes no time and gets on top of Riz, bashing him with
lefts and rights screaming in anger. It almost sounds like he is
screaming a word over and over. But it’s either to distorted or not in
English or both so it’s not really decipherable what he screams. Riz
raises his arm in front of his face to try and protect himself. He then
quickly shoves Thomas off of him and rolls away and tries to get to his
feet. Thomas takes some steps back and then charges forward again,
hitting Riz right in the head with a crushing big boot. The impact
smashes his head sideways, right into a metal trash can. Riz slumps
against it and once again staggers to his feet. He has no idea where he
is at this point and tries very hard to get his bearings. Thomas grabs
his foe on the shoulder turning him around. Then he grabs him around the
throat and lifts Riz up until his feet dangle in the air. Thomas holds
him there for a moment one handed, glaring into the choking face of Riz.
Then he just slams him into the wall with a powerful chokeslam. He lets
go of Riz and he slumps down against the wall. Thomas turns around and
searches the ground for something. His face lights up in sadistic joy as
he apparently found what he was searching for. While Riz still is
recovering Thomas hurries over to the location he saw and picks up a
broken glass bottle. He turns around fangs bared at Riz. Riz is only
moving a little at this point and is fading by the minute. Thomas walks
over to Riz and viciously slashes at his face, opening a cut on his
forehead. He again and again slashes at Riz’s head, demonstrating skill
at handling slashing weapons since none of the cuts are to deep or hit
an eye. After three more slashes he stops, grinning down proud at his
work. Riz at this point just looks like a bloody mess. Thomas raises the
blood covered bottle to his lips and with a lot of enjoyment licks off
some of the blood as the scene fades to the SWA logo and then to black. |
