AWR CRASH TV #23
LIVE!
As the show starts, “Say Hello” by POD blares over the PA system and the crowd begins to boo. As the music blares, Anthony Royal appears at the top of the stage dressed in his usual custom suit, AWR Championship resting on his shoulder. Royal appears angry and disheveled. He avoids his usual arrogant displays and walks to the ring with a purpose. He steps through the ropes and immediately demands a mic.
Royal: "Alright turn it off!"
The music cuts as the crowd continues to boo.
Royal: "Boo, boo, yeah we get it, please just shut the hell up so I can say what I came out here to say."
Of course, the crowd boos even louder after this. Instead of waiting it out, Royal just talks over the rowdy crowd.
Royal: "I’m going to make this quick. Bob Maggia, I said you were gonna end this charade and reveal my mystery opponent or else, so why don’t you get your pompous, bratty rear end out here and tell me who the hell it is."
Royal begins pacing around the ring looking very impatient. After a few moments, Maggia appears on the stage with a mic in hand.
Maggia: "I’m here Mr. Royal, and first let me say, ladies and gentlemen, Happy Thanksgiving…"
Royal: "Oh cut the crap Roberto. Happy Thanksgiving? The only thing I’m thankful for is in a few hours I’ll be getting the hell out of Lubbock, Texas..."
The crowd boos at this.
Royal: "Now Maggia, stop the pandering, stop the freaking games and tell me who my opponent is at Baddlands."
Maggia: "Alright champ, fair is fair. Do you want to know who your opponent is?"
Royal simply nods his head in anticipation.
Maggia: "Are you sure you want to know? I mean, this guy is no joke."
Royal: "Yes damn it! Yes! Who is it!?"
Maggia: "Alright Mr. Royal, you’ve asked for it. Your opponent is one of the most athletically gifted, naturally charismatic ring technicians to ever step between those ropes. He is also one of the most dangerous monsters you will ever have the misfortune to meet. He is a menace, a beast, an absolute tornado of pain and devastation. He is so vicious, they say he isn’t even human, here he is…THE GOBBLEDY GOOKER!"
The crowd begins to laugh as a large turkey appears at the top of the entrance ramp. Royal’s face has turned bright red from a lethal combination of embarrassment and anger.
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal has to wrestle this thing at the PPV? How demeaning to a man of his stature!"
Maggia: "The challenger would like to take this time to say a few things to the champion."
Roberto hands the mic over to the turkey.
Gobbledy Gooker: "GOBBLE, GOBLEDY, GOBBLE GOB…"
Royal: "THAT’S ENOUGH! YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY! I AM YOUR CHAMPION! I AM YOUR CENTERPIECE! I AM NOT A JOKE YOU POWER DRUNKEN LITTLE BASTARD! IF YOU CONTINUE TO TREAT ME LIKE THIS I’M GOING TO CUT THE HEAD OFF THAT STUPID TURKEY AND SHOVE IT UP SO FAR UP YOUR ASS YOU’LL BE COUGHING UP FEATHERS!"
Neal Steal-"This has to be the most ridiculous and least deserving recipient of a title shot I've ever seen..."
David Saturn-"Its a JOKE you fool!"
Neal Steal-"..........................."
Maggia: "Okay, okay, settle down, so maybe this isn’t your Baddlands opponent. But, I assure you Mr. Royal, he is here in Lubbock, and he will be revealed tonight. I’m waiting un the end of the night for your own benefit, because I assure you, all the things I said about this turkey here are in fact true about your real opponent, and I really didn’t want you to worry about putting that title on the line against such a force if you didn’t have to."
Royal looks confused in the ring.
Maggia: "Yeah, I see the confusion on your face Mr. Royal, but let me explain things. You may not have to worry about defending that championship at Baddlands, because by the end of the night, well, you may not have it."
Royal: "What are you talking about?"
Maggia: "I’m talking about how I’ve decided that your match with Rattlesnake tonight is now for the AWR Championship!"
The crowd explodes as Royal loses his mind in the ring. He is screaming "YOU CAN’T DO THIS" and kicking the ring ropes, throwing a tantrum like a child being told “no” to a toy he wants.
Maggia: "Have a good night!"
David Saturn-"Well we heard rumours the match between Royal and Rattlesnake might be for the title!"
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal takes his profession very seriously. Maggia knows nothing about his profession or for that matter professionalism!"
David Saturn-"Tonight we will also see Slick in action when he takes on Red Randal ahead of the huge inferno match at Baddlands."
Neal Steal-"Also we will be treated to seeing Rusty Axel in action!"
David Saturn-"Well right now we have the one thing we guarantee on CRASH Tv each week! A CRASH title match as Fa Sho takes on Jason Howard."
From St Louis, Missouri...Kris...Fa Shooooooooooooooo...DESTINY!!!
David Saturn-"A big way to kick off the show here and who knows what mood we will see Fa Sho in tonight!"
Neal Steal-"Completely unprofessional conduct by Fa Sho last week when he selfishly took another man out of wrestling."
Accompanied by AWR head of talent relations Rusty Axel, from Gaithersburg, Maryland...Jason...HOWARD!!!
David Saturn-"Better start saying rasslin Steal one of your three main heroes is here..."
Neal Steal-"So not only do we get to see Rusty later we are also treated to an earlier appearance! Rusty cares a great deal about Jason's career and he couldn't have a better guide than Rusty!"
David Saturn-"If Fa Sho loses control Howard might need Rusty out here! Maybe a whole army!"
Neal Steal-"Well who knows what this maniac is capable of. He won't dare try anything with Rusty out here though the only thing Sho will lose is his bodily functions if Rusty goes after him!"
David Saturn-"Yes Sho must be terrified but he has to watch out for Rusty's distraction...and Rusty is in the ring!"
Howard is slow to enter which may be wise as Sho seems to be at his most unstable. Suddenly Rusty is in the ring distracting Sho but quickly retreats. Howard attacks from behind as the ref starts the match. Punches by Howard to Sho and a blatant choke. Howard goes to whip Sho into the far corner but Sho blocks and whips Howard back into the near corner. Club to the back of the head by Sho...
Neal Steal-"Look at Rusty he's so dedicated. Always scouting young talent the AWR has the best talent scout in all of rasslin!"
David Saturn-"Oh who is it..."
Neal Steal-"You know full well who it is he's right there!"
Howard drops to the mat as Rusty yells encouragement from the outside. Probably better he does not get physically involved as his incompetence cost Howard a match against Rattlesnake recently. Sho delivers a dropkick knocking Howard through the middle rope to the floor. Sho warns Rusty not to try anything before vaulting over the top rope with a flying crossbody taking Howard out!
Neal Steal-"Don't you speak to a legend like that! He's accomplished more in this business than you ever have!"
David Saturn-"Fa Sho has actually won titles something Rusty has never done..."
Neal Steal-"Rusty has wrestled Lou Thesz, Jack Brisco. Of course Sho will be facing someone even better than either of them next week but Rusty has faced anyone who has been anything in this business..."
David Saturn-"I doubt he ever even met Thesz or Brisco!"
Great aerial move there by Sho and he pulls Howard to his feet then rolls him back into the ring. Uppercut by Sho and Howard backed into the corner. Hard kick to the ribs by Sho. Sho goes for a whip, Howard reverses and cleverly slides to the outside grabbing Sho's legs and taking him down. Howard pulls Sho by the legs into the ringpost. A painful but somewhat legal low blow...
Neal Steal-"Ha ha! Give Sho a taste of his own medicine! He likes to break people's ankles come on Jason break his leg! Yahoo!"
David Saturn-"I've never understood why a blatant low blow using the ringpost isn't the same as a standard low blow."
Neal Steal-"This official better do his job right Rusty is watching..."
David Saturn-"I heard its Maggia who oversees the referees..."
Howard grapevines Sho's legs around the post and the ref orders him to break. Howard back in the ring and he knocks Sho down as he gets to his feet. Choke by Howard and he yells at the crowd who have started a "jason sucks" chant. Howard whips Sho off the ropes and executes a dropkick of his own. Howard taunts the crowd again as Rusty loudly applauds...
Neal Steal-"Jason looks up to Rusty so much. He knows Rusty fought for everything he had and he's going to move up in this business the right way..."
David Saturn-"We see Fa Sho grow into a great wrestler maybe Howard will be the same one day..."
Neal Steal-"Rusty could turn a broom into a great wrestler never mind someone with Jason's major potential..."
Shot to the ribs as Sho gets to his feet. Howard whips Sho into the corner following up with a clothesline. Sho whipped into the opposite corner but Jason is too obvious going for the same move. Sho charges taking down Howard with a clothesline! Howard on his feet and Sho kicks him in the ribs before delivering tw uppercuts. Sho whips Howard into the corner staying close as he follows up with a clothesline...
David Saturn-"Now that's a good move don't watch your opponent go into the corner stay alongside them..."
Neal Steal-"Sho learnt that from studying old tapes of Rusty. So many wrestlers have been influenced by Rusty's style over the years..."
David Saturn-"Thankfully that's ot true or we would never see a wrestling hold..."
Good move to immediately track an opponent like that instead of pausing then charging. Howard whipped off the ropes and Sho with the superkick! Howard staggers and is about to fall to the mat but Sho makes sure with a right hand. Sho goes to the top rope and comes off with a flying clothesline! Sho maybe moments away from a successful defense here and Rusty gets up onto the apron...
David Saturn-"Oh come on! Look at Rusty distract the referee...and Sho decks him!"
Neal Steal-"How dare he strike a prominent AWR official never mind one with Rusty's legacy in this business! Fa Sho has no respect!"
David Saturn-"Rusty had no business being up there!"
Sho knocks Rusty off the apron with a right hand and then applies the LOCKDOWN! Howard looks certain to tap but suddenly SILVIO MEGALA comes up from behind nailing Sho in the back of the head with a crowbar! The ref calls for the bell as the crowd erupt with boos...
David Saturn-"Fa Sho robbed of a submission victory and now he's being fed to the wolves!"
Neal Steal-"This is what they call wrestlers court! Fa Sho behaved disgracefully last week and this is his punishment..."
David Saturn-"Megala couldn't give a damn about what Fa Sho did last week! He does not want to wrestle at the PPV and now he's hoping Sho won't be able to!"
Rusty gets into the ring and Sho is now being stomped by the AWR President and Head Of Talent Relations. Howard joins in and Silvio tells Rusty and Howard to hold Sho in place. Silvio arrogantly slaps Sho and nails him with the crowbar again. Sho has been badly busted open and Roberto Maggia heads to the ring. Maggia begins yelling at Silvio who looks like he might ignore the order.
Neal Steal-"Maggia poking his nose in again! Stop taking up all this Tv time! Maggia's an egomaniac..."
David Saturn-"Oh and Silvio and Rusty are humble right? Maggia has hopefully halted this attack with this influence he holds over Megala..."
Neal Steal-"Its blackmail! Don't sugercoat Maggia's disgraceful actions!"
David Saturn-"No sympathy from me for Megala having seen so many of his misdeeds in the past..."
After a moment however Silvio leaves once again giving in to the blackmail but for how much longer? Rusty and Jason continue stomping on Sho but Maggia tells Silvio to call them off. Since Silvio is on good terms with Rusty (having hired him) and has no past issues with Jason both men listen and retreat up the ramp. Silvio and Maggia argue at the top of the ramp as Sho gets up to his knees. Sho sees Maggia with Silvio on the ramp and screams in anger...
David Saturn-"Looks ike Fa Sho has caught the wrong end of the stick again here..."
Neal Steal-"For once we can agree on something his conspiracy theories are ridiculous..."
David Saturn-"Sho sees conspiracy morning, noon and night! He's a dangerous man and that's a bad laceration on his forehead there...we will be back in a few moments on this chaotic start to CRASH Tv!"
Sho obviously didn't see Maggia was the one who ordered an end to the assault and even if he had he may still believe there's a Silvio/Maggia conspiracy. Sho gets to his feet as Maggia and Silvio go through the curtain still arguing.
********************************************************************************************************
MOMENTS AGO
We see a repeat of the beatdown Fa Sho just took at the hands of Silvio Megala, Rusty Axel and Jason Howard. We see Silvio getting into his limo as Sho rushes into the parking lot screaming Megala and Maggia's names. Perhaps he thinks Maggia is also in the limo (though we didn't see him get in) as the limo speeds off. Sho gets into a car (which may or may not be his) and gives chase to the limo. The scene cuts back to the announcers...
David Saturn-"Well I've been told Maggia is still backstage though I don't believe for a moment he's in cahoots with Megala..."
Neal Steal-"Well at least Fa Sho's left that's a relief for everybody here. Nobody wants that maniac on the rampage. Mr Megala's limo driver will lose him...not that Mr Megala is afraid of Sho..."
David Saturn-"So why did he make such a fast getaway then? Sho didn't even get treatment for that cut blood was pouring from it."
Neal Steal-"They probably haven't even invented anesthetic even in Texas."
David Saturn-"I don't think Fa Sho would need that for a few stitches. Anyway as we said last week Helll recently suffered the loss of his young daughter. Earlier today our cameras followed Hell to the arena right here in Lubbock, Texas!"
With the devastating loss of his five year old child Grace and the pain he has felt and suffered inside. After weeks of being at home in his room Damian Lucifer decides it is time he got back into the ring. However this time Damian will take a new route back to AWR. Damian has decided this time he will not be so nice anymore.
With weeks of rage building up inside of him Damian has lost most of his sanity. What was once human is no longer. As Damian leaves his home and heads to the arena after a few minutes on the road he is cut off. Damian immediately flies into a fit of anger. He changes direction and heads after the driver of the car that cut him off. He is right behind it now.
As the car comes to a halt for a stop light Hell also comes to a stop behind the car. He gets out and charges to the drivers door, He opens it and pulls the man out. The man looks shocked but is a big strapping guy none the less.
Man: "HEY WHAT THE F.............."
Hell: "You cut me off back there!"
Man: "SO WHAT BUDDY I'M IN A HURRY NOW GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME!"
Hell: "YOU MEAN YOUR IN A HURRY TO GET YOUR ASS KICKED!"
The man grips Hells wrist to make him let go but Hell gives him a quick shot to the jaw. The mans grip goes limp.Hell then shoves the mans head in the door and slams it shut several times. The man falls to the pavement bleeding and Hell leaves him there. As Hell is walking away he speaks.
Hell: "I bet you will think before you ever cut anyone off again you piece of steroid filled shit!"
As Hell gets back in his car the light changes. Hell looks at his watch.
Hell: "Not bad! It took all of thirty seconds from the time I left my car and got to his and kicked that fat steroid filled slobs ass!"
Hell drives away and once again heads towards the arena. Once he gets there he pulls into the parking lot and parks his car. As he gets out he sees Neal Steals car. Hell opens the door and proceeds to piss all over the drivers seat. Hell looks deep into the camera.
Hell: "Steal if your watching this I heard your comments last week on Crash TV. I SWEAR if you ever make another comment about my parenting again or so much as look at me wrong I will break your sniveling little spine like a match stick. Be on guard because I will be watching your every move!"
Hell slams the door shut and heads inside. As he enters the door he comes face to face with Matt Harris. Matt looks down at Hell almost as though he is measuring Hell up. Hell glares up at Matt. Feeling a bit strange about the fact that it is rare he has to look up at anyone Matt has that look in his eyes and Hell sees it and can read it. Hell makes a comment.
Hell: "I see that look in your eyes............It really would not be a good time this soon for you to think you are ready to step up. Not ANYTIME soon!"
Hell brushes past Matt and as he carries on his way with Matt glaring at him in the distance its not long before he walks past Robert Carr who glares up at Hell. Hell stops and stares down at Carr.
Hell: "I could squash you like the cockroach you are but that would be as much of a waste of my time as it is a waste of the air you breath. Do me a favor and let your REAL LEADER Tracy Adkins know I am back."
Hell knows this comment will get Carr upset. Carr is really pissed off but remains silent and goes on his way. Hell waves at him in a mocking way.
Hell: "STUPID SON OF A BITCH! WELL I AM BACK IN AWR. NOW THE REAL PAIN AND SUFFERING WILL BEGIN. THIS TIME HELL IS BACK BUT.... ITS TIME TO BRING BACK HELL....THE NEW BLOOD!"
As Hell walks the hallway the scene switches.
David Saturn-"Hell is a changed man! If he was unpredictable and dangerous before he is probably that now x10!"
Neal Steal-"Shows what a weak man Hell is using his daughter's death as a means of unleashing pent up aggression..."
David Saturn-"Well you can't blame him for being pissed off at the world after what he's suffered recently. Hell of course will be in action against Matt Harris at the PPV and Harris is set to go one on one with Robert Carr right now!"
Accompanied by Red Randal, from Ontario, Canada...Robert...CARR!!!
David Saturn-"Carr bringing Red Randal to the ring with him. Tracy Adkins still suspended of course..."
Neal Steal-"Carr is going to cut this big oaf Matt Harris down to size! Randal is only out here to stop Bret Harris from cheating..."
David Saturn-"Yeah right...indeed it looks like Matt is being accompanied by his brother Bret. Of course Rattlesnake has a huge match tonight and that's where his entire focus will be..."
Neal Steal-"Totally unfair on Mr Royal..."
David Saturn-"Why is it unfair? He hasn't even wrestled in almost a month!"
Neal Steal-"I heard Bret is teaching Matt some technical holds. I guess it would have to be him since Rattlesnake has never used a wrestling hold in his life..."
David Saturn-"Well Bret is certainly the most technically proficient of the 3 brothers. Matt is facing a very good technical wrestler in Robert Carr here..."
Neal Steal-"Bret Harris should really be ejected from ringside..."
David Saturn-"So should Randal then."
Carr is a little slow to enter the ring as Randal stands with him at ringside. Matt unwisely takes his eyes away from Carr and exchanges some words with Bret from inside the ring. Carr takes advantage by quickly entering the ring and charging at Matt from behind. Blows to the back by Carr have little effect however as Matt simply absorbs them then nails Carr with a right hand. Carr is staggered as a second shot follows...
Neal Steal-"Matt Harris is a big guy who thinks he can just walk in off the street and learn how to wrestle. He's caught a lucky break having brothers who are pros that's all..."
David Saturn-"He's certainly very raw in the ring and still learning. What a test he will have at the PPV you can't say he's ever going to shirk a challenge accepting a match with Hell!"
Neal Steal-"Who knows maybe Hell will have met his match. Can't believe what he did to my car that was a rental as well!"
David Saturn-"Can't Silvio or Royal lend you their limos?"
Carr to his credit absorbs the second shot and fires back at his huge opponent with a right of his own. Matt responds with with a clubbing blow to the head hen whips Carr off the ropes. Carr charges back running right into a big boot! Matt grins at his brother before delivering a massive legdrop! Cover...1,2...and Carr gets his shoulder up. Carr whipped off the ropes again, ducks a clothesline by taking out Matt's legs with a tackle.
Neal Steal-"Yahoo! Carr showing his expertise right there!"
David Saturn-"The obvious thing to do but also the most effective. Matt still has to learn defense strategy in the ring lets see how he handles himself on the ground."
Neal Steal-"Come on Robert! Lets hope we see one idiot have his leg broken tonight!"
David Saturn-"What has Matt Harris done to you to deserve being called an idiot?"
Neal Steal-"He's an idiot by association and its not like the Harris Bros or Rattlesnake had much luck with brain genetics..."
David Saturn-"Carr still moaning about losing the CRASH title. Can't accept that the better man won each time..."
Good move by Carr to take the big man off his feet and he begins to work on the leg. Carr drives his elbow into Matt's knee then applies pressure with his foot blatantly using the ropes for leverage. The ref tells Carr to break which draws predictable moans. Carr then repeats the move anyway and the ref admonishes him again. Carr goes for a figure 4 but Matt kicks him with force sending him through the ropes to the outside...
David Saturn-"Well I guess you can use tremendous strength even when you're on the ground! Very effective counter!"
Neal Steal-"Get away you cheat! Bret Harris was going to attack Robert there!"
David Saturn-"You might be right Bret and Rattlesnake have certainly bent a few rules in the past...and there's a cheap shot by Randal!"
Neal Steal-"Bret Harris intended to interfere that's the only reason Randal did that..."
The ref warns Bret Harris who approaches Carr and that may not have been the best idea from Bret. That inadvertently gave Randal the chance to trip Matt from the outside as he was getting to his feet. Matt turns his attention to Randal as Carr charges. However Matt notices at the last moment and tosses Carr into the corner delivering a ferocious chop to the chest! Another chop knocks Carr to his knees...
Neal Steal-"Oh that's original. Big monster chops the hell out of his opponent..."
David Saturn-"He's doing what anyone his size would do. What do you expect him to do leap onto the ropes and pull off a moonsault!"
Neal Steal-"That would be original for someone his size yes..."
David Saturn-"Carr deserves those chops. Matt Harris was screwed last week and he wants revenge on Carr for that and for the demeaning comments by Carr earlier this week..."
Matt whips Carr into the opposite corner and slowly approaches. Hard elbow to the chest by Matt and he goes to whip Carr across the ring. Carr blocks the whip but Matt simply clotheslines him to the mat instead! Randal is up on the apron and Matt nails him with a right hand! Bret sprints round the ring and begins to brawl with Randal! Matt signals for the CHOKESLAM and he delivers it! Matt with the cover...1,2...3!!!
David Saturn-"My God what a chokeslam! Matt Harris defeats Robert Carr in the centre of the ring! A big win for the rookie here!"
Neal Steal-"Flash in the pan. I definitely hope Matt beats Hell but he won't be able to chokeslam him like that! Poor Robert will need a chiropractor being slammed into the mat like that! Why do all people his size need to use the chokeslam?"
David Saturn-"Because it takes them to the pay window more often that not..."
A big statement of intent from Matt Harris but will he be able to chokeslam Hell at the PPV? Or will he receive a chokeslam of his own? Matt and Bret walk up the ramp as Randal is down on the outside and Carr is sprawled on the mat from the effects of the chokeslam.
Neal Steal-"Carr will get some retribution next week by taking out Matt's brother Rattlesnake!"
David Saturn-"Carr is hurt...who knows he might have seen it in his best interests for Snake to win tonight."
Neal Steal-"Robert would never do something like that..."
David Saturn-"Because he can barely walk! Man he's gonna be sore in the morning...and he has a 2 out of 3 falls match next week! We will be back after this brief commercial timeout..."
********************************************************************************************************
As we return from commercial, we see Anthony Royal walking down a corridor, fuming, talking to himself a bit about Maggia screwing him, when suddenly something catches his eye. The camera pans over and we see the turkey from earlier in the night standing at a catering table where a Thanksgiving type dinner has been set up for the AWR wrestlers and crew. Royal’s face turns red and he lets out a primal scream as he charges the turkey mascot and spears it to the ground. He then begins laying in right hands to the head of the man (?) in the suit. After a few stiff shots, Royal gets to his feet. He looks to the table where he sees a real, cooked turkey. As the suited turkey gets to his feet (talons?), Royal picks up the real turkey and bashes it over the mascot’s head. He stands over the turkey with a crazed look in his eyes before finally walking away.
David Saturn: "Wow, our World Champion just hit a turkey in the head with a…turkey. I can’t believe that sentence just came out of my mouth…"
Neal Steal: "Well I’d say that’s better treatment than that oversized poultry ever deserved!"
David Saturn: "Can we please just get to some wrestling?"
Neal Steal-"Well when you think of great rasslin you think of Rusty Axel and here he comes! Yahoo!"
David Saturn-"That wasn't quite what I had in mind..."
From Savannah, Georgia...Rusty...AXEL!!!
Neal Steal-"Rusty Axel has wrestled just about everywhere. Fairs, barns, big arenas like this...but he's never had to experience something like this! Wrestling this oaf!"
David Saturn-"Well they met in a tag match Steal or does your memory not stretch back more than a couple of weeks?"
Neal Steal-"Lou Thesz, Jack Brisco...Playboy Pete? How ridiculous does that sentence sound..."
David Saturn-"Exactly the suggestion that Rusty ever wrestled Thesz and Brisco is absurd..."
Neal Steal-"It is true! He wrestled Jack Brisco in his prime and Thesz near the end of his career! Late 70's..."
From Ontario, Canada...Playboy...PETE!!!
David Saturn-"Well here comes a guy who really knows the meaning of FUN!"
Neal Steal-"The meaning of vulgarity more like. The only thing Pete is an expert on is food...and he can't even cook from what I heard! Ha ha ha ha ha!"
David Saturn-"Well I don't think this will be a classic...and that first move by Rusty illustrates that! This match might have some bowling shoe tendencies..."
Both men lockup and Rusty immediately resorts to that classic "catch as catch can" move...a thumb to the eye. Rusty throws Pete to the outside where his women are handing out Thanksgiving pie to fans in the crowd. Pete with a barrage of right hands and Rusty is staggered but connects with a knee to the ribs. Rusty then rams Pete face first into the steel steps before leering at Pete's women...
David Saturn-"Pete's women out here handing out free pies to the crowd..."
Neal Steal-"They shouldn't have foof near Pete while he's in the ring. He will be distracted...not that he has a chance against Rusty anyway!"
David Saturn-"Not sure what Pete's full time status in the AWR is but the crowd are sure happy to see him..."
Pete's women aren't exactly fussy but they look disgusted by Rusty. Rusty said he would never touch Pete's women but he seems to be eyeing a couple of them closely! Rusty rams Pete face first into the announce table and then grabs a sack of pies from one of the women. He takes one of the pies and as Pete is up Rusty throws the pie towards him. Pete ducks and the pie hits Steal in the face!
David Saturn-"HA HA!"
Neal Steal-"Pete you fat, obese idiot!"
David Saturn-"How can you blame Pete for that? I guess its about time you had a taste of pie Steal!"
Neal Steal-"Oh shut up Saturn! Someone get me a cloth!"
Saturn laughs as Steal yells at Pete for some reason despite Rusty being the one who threw it. Rusty rams Pete's head into the apron then picks up the steel steps! The ref isn't counting them out perhaps afraid of the official influence Rusty has. Rusty raises the steps and the ref tries to stop him. The distraction gives Pete time to move avoiding the steps before rolling back into the ring...
Neal Steal-"Imagine the grease stain that would have left! Look at Pete he's got greasy bits of food stuck in his facial hair..."
David Saturn-"Well it wasn't exactly pleasant seeing Rusty's teeth up close earlier either..."
Neal Steal-"I guess Pete feels right at home here in Texas. No wonder he got such a loud cheer this is the fattest state in all the US! Proven statistical fact Saturn!"
David Saturn-"Well it is a stereotype that has some truth to it I suppose but who cares whether the fans here are big or small! We welcome all shapes and sizes!"
Rusty follows kicking Pete in the ribs. Pete gets to his feet but is backed into the corner as Rusty pounds away with right hands. Rusty with a blatant choke and another right hand before the ref breaks it up. The ref admonishes Rusty who looks annoyed that a referee would dare to tell him off. Rusty moves back towards Pete but Playboy spins him round and Rusty is now backed into the corner!
Neal Steal-"Pete isn't even grateful to be sharing the ring with greatness! I think deep down he's embarrassed for Rusty because like all far people he's insecure and can see what an oaf he is..."
David Saturn-"He's doing just fine in this match. I don't think we are fooled into believing Pete will ever be a world champion but at least he might win a title before Rusty does!"
Neal Steal-"Pete telling blatant lies this past week. You know full well Saturn it was Maggia who hired B-Man you said so yourself..."
David Saturn-"Well Pete must have been given some bad info. Big Bad B-Man not here tonight but we will see him at Baddlands and remember Slick is still to come!"
Right hands by Pete and the crowd are on their feet. The ref breaks it up drawing boos but it was fair officiating. Pete moves back towards Rusty who elbows Pete hard in the throat knocking the big man to the mat. Rusty charges off the ropes, baseball slide to the outside and a hard right hand to Pete's face. Pete's head is stretched over the apron and Rusty delivers some hard elbows.
Neal Steal-"Yahoo! Back in Rusty's day getting into this business was tough! Pete wouldn't have lasted 2 minutes with the type of training Rusty had..."
David Saturn-"I'm amazed Rusty has lasted so long with how little talent he actually has. This is a very unusual business..."
Neal Steal-"Don't you order Rusty like that! Show some respect!"
David Saturn-"Its the referees job...to enforce the rules!"
The ref demands Rusty return to the ring. As Rusty gets back in he kicks Pete hard and that was almost a low blow. Rusty dares the ref to DQ him then chokes Pete with his boot. Knee to the face but Pete is tougher than he looks and gets back to his feet. Right hand by Rusty, another and then he charges off the ropes. As Rusty charges Pete grabs him...bearhug! Rusty could be in trouble here...
David Saturn-"Bearhug! He's gonna squeeze the life out of Rusty!"
Neal Steal-"Rusty can counter any move in the world..."
David Saturn-"As long as he can dig his thumb into someone's eye...what finesse!"
Neal Steal-"Well Rusty is about substance over style he's said so himself! If he was facing a technical wrestler we would see more of his expertise in that area..."
David Saturn-"He has no technical wrestling skill whatsoever!"
Rusty however breaks it up quickly with his favourite counter...a thunb to the eye. The second of the match from the self proclaimed wrestling expert and Pete staggers in pain. Hard clothesline by Rusty knocks Pete down to the mat! Rusty arrogantly raises his hands and celebrates as if a win is just seconds away. Rusty with the cover...1,2...and Pete gets his shoulder up much to Rusty's frustration!
Neal Steal-"Slow count! You can learn from Rusty when it comes to timekeeping! Never been late, he's meticulous..."
David Saturn-"Well its true I've never known Rusty to show up late...he's always been here hours early even before he became head of talent relations..."
Rusty complains to the ref but it was a well timed count. Rusty with a kick to the head but Pete still manages to get to his feet. Right hand by Rusty and then he goes to whip Pete into the ropes. Pete reverses, Rusty charges back, ducks a right hand and delivers an uppercut. Pete staggers but suddenly delivers a brutal mule kick to the face out of nowhere! That caught Rusty right on the chin!
David Saturn-"MY GOD! Rusty just had his clock cleaned!"
Neal Steal-"Find that funny do you going about time and using a stupid phrase like that?"
David Saturn-"Pete gyrating there...that's even uglier than Rusty's wrestling skills..."
Despite Pete's looks he is still a decent athlete for his size. Rusty is laid out on the mat and Pete gyrates which isn't a pretty sight but it still gets cheers! Pete charges off the ropes...buttdrop! Pete does not go for the cover which may be a mistake instead deciding to gyrate again. The ladies cheer him on at ringside and Pete goes to the top rope. Suddenly JASON HOWARD appears at ringside...
David Saturn-"Jason Howard out here and I doubt he's come just to cheerlead!"
Neal Steal-"It was a prostitute who put that laxative in Jason's drink...that's the type of morals these women have. Slap 'em down Jason!"
David Saturn-"You just don't mess with Pete's women! Pete is going after his arch rival..."
Jason grabs a couple of Pete's women and Pete gets down from the top rope. Pete is going to the outside but Rusty suddenly comes from behind and rolls up Pete with the RUSTY WHEEL! Feet are on the ropes but the ref does not see it! 1,2...3!!!
Neal Steal-"Another thrilling victory for Rusty Axel but probably the easiest of his career!"
David Saturn-"Oh shut up! Look at the pride on Rusty's face he's genuinely proud of winning a match in that fashion!"
Rusty celebrates like he's won a million dollars as Jason enters the ring. Both men stomp on Pete as Jason has some pies in his hand he grabbed from the ladies. Jason grabs one of the pies and shoves it right into Pete's face. Jason starts throwing the pies one after another at Pete as Rusty cheers him on. More stomps by both men follow before more referees come out and break it up. Rusty and Jason raise their hands as they walk up the ramp to loud boos from the crowd.
David Saturn-"Well I don't think we have seen the last of Pete after that. Completely uncalled for from Rusty Axel and Jason Howard..."
Neal Steal-"These kids here tonight will be able to tell their grandchildren years from now that they actually saw the legendary Rusty Axel live and in person!"
David Saturn-"Ah yes I'm sure this will have been an unforgettable match for them...cough...cough...wait a moment that bar...that's in Springfield..."
Neal Steal-"That does not look like Moe's to me..."
David Saturn-"I've been in that bar with Slick and B-Man before...that's in Springfield the hometown of the Badd Boyz. Slick is here tonight but I haven't heard anything from B-Man about a satellite linkup if he's at home that is..."
Neal Steal-"That bar probably is his home! Ha ha ha ha ha!"
The scene opens up outside a "hole in the wall" bar where a guy holding 2 trash bags walks outside and puts them in a dumpster. Inside two more men distract the bar tender.
Man 1: "Hey is it true that Slick and B-Man go to this bar all the time?
Bartender: Yeah they show up when they ain't on the road.
Man 2: Well are they here now?
Bartender: Na man they ain't here right now.
Man 1: Good.
Tracy Adkins comes out of nowhere and attacks the bartender with a pipe in the back and leg. After he works over the bartenders legs Tracy grabs the bartenders head and slams his head in the dumpster a few times till he's out cold.
Tracy: Hey Red Bird get the van. Running Cloud get the rope.
A van comes in to view and Tracy and Running Cloud tie up the bartender. They then throw him in the back of the van before the camera fades out.
********************************************************************************************************
David Saturn-"Some disturbing scenes moments ago as we saw Tracy Adkins kidnap that bartender. I know that guy he's a good friend of Slick and B-Man's..."
Neal Steal-"Offer them free booze does he? Special bonus on happy hour?"
David Saturn-"Shut up! That guy has just been kidnapped and this is a very bad situation developing here. The last guy you want to be kidnapped by is Tracy Adkins..."
From Halifax, Canada...Red...RANDAL!!!
David Saturn-"I don't know whether Randal had anything to do with that kidnap or not but I'm sure Slick has seen what is happening in Springfield..."
Neal Steal-"He's probably going to use it as an excuse to chicken out of that matchup...no pun intended considering what day it is!"
David Saturn-"I think we have seen enough chickens tonight...or turkeys...Slick may be on the phone to B-Man who may well be at home in Springfield...wait here comes Slick!"
From Springfield, Massachusetts...Slick...DOCTOR!!!
David Saturn-"Slick wasting no time! Slick no doubt is worried and maybe even scared of what he just saw with his friend being kidnapped....he's going to take it out on Randal!"
Neal Steal-"Do you think Tracy even cares what might happen to Randal? Of course Randal is more than capable of defending himself..."
David Saturn-"I doubt Tracy gives a damn. Slick looks a little scared...not that he has to step into the inferno this week but about his friend's welfare. That bartender is not a wrestler..."
It looks like Slick has seen what just happened moments ago as he comes charging to the ring. Slick wastes no time attacking Randal here pounding away with right hands. Slick whips Randal off the ropes, Randal charges back, ducks a clothesline and connects with a shoulder charge. Slick maybe started too fast here though its understandable considering the circumstances...
Neal Steal-"Never seen Slop look quite this angry..."
David Saturn-"Well how many more times do I need to say he's obviously worried!"
Neal Steal-"Its Randal you should be feeling sorry for as well he did not want to be in the inferno at Baddlands..."
David Saturn-"Slick is a little worried about Baddlands but who wouldn't be in that kind of match? Right now all he's worried about is what that nutcase Adkins is doing! Adkins needs help!"
Randal taunts the crowd wasting time instead of maintaining his attack. Randal with shots to the ribs as Slick gets to his feet and Randal tosses him over the top rope. Randal taunts the crowd again then follows and kicks Slick in the ribs. He then scoops Slick up and delivers a slam on the mats which don't offer much protection at all. Randal pulls Slick to his feet and begins to choke him...
Neal Steal-"Ha ha! Choke the life out of him! Pull out that hair...he has horrible hair!"
David Saturn-"Randal very focused here I don't know if Randal is even aware of what is happening and why Slick came out so fast..."
Randal grabs Slick's hair pulling out a chunk of it. Uppercut and Slick rolled back into the ring. Another uppercut and Randal whips Slick off the ropes. Randal scoops Slick up going for a sidewalk slam but Slick slips away. Slick with a spinning heel kick to the back of Randal's head and he goes for the SLICK STRETCH! Randal reacts with a blatant low blow from the back of his boot and the ref calls for the bell.
David Saturn-"I doubt Randal even cares about winning this match! This is a chance for him to take Slick out before the PPV!"
Neal Steal-"Don't do that Randal...I want to see Slop deep fried!"
David Saturn-"You're a sick, sick man..."
Randal goes for a chair and slowly heads back into the ring. As Slick gets to his feet Randal raises the chair. However he stupidly raises it right in front of his face and Slick dropkicks the chair right into his face! Slick grabs the chair and drives it hard into Randal's ribs! Slick then drives it right into Randal's throat! Slick with a shot to the back and Randal speeds out of the ring and up the ramp!
David Saturn-"Slick was going to do some serious damage there.I don't blame Randal for getting away as fast as he could..."
Neal Steal-"Slop disgracefully using a chair to beat up Randal..."
David Saturn-"Randal brought the damn thing into the ring! Wait look at the CRASHtron that looks like some woods there its very dark...and oh no! Somebody get the man some help!"
We see the bartender sitting on the ground with his hands tied behind his back and Tracy comes into view.
Tracy: They say that being on fire is the most painful thing you will feel. Slick at the PPV you or B-Man will feel that pain.
Tracy looks at the bartender.
Tracy: Brisk night ain't it but don't worry it will warm up soon.
Tracy smirks.
Tracy: You see this is not my fault. This is my partners fault for crying to Maggia and getting me suspended. This is Maggia's fault for suspending me till the PPV. This is B-Mans fault for sticking his nose were it didn't belong. Well how about we warm things up...
Tracy starts pouring gas on the bartender then the camera zooms in on Tracy's face as he strikes a match then you see Tracy's face lit up by flames and he's smirking as you hear screams
********************************************************************************************************
MOMENTS AGO
We see a repeat of the shocking actions by Tracy Adkins just moments ago. The scene cuts to a shot of a horrified Saturn while Steal looks angry as well....
David Saturn-"We did not need to see that again!"
Neal Steal-"Maggia needed to satisfy his bloodlust. This is all his fault..."
David Saturn-"How can you make such an asinine comment? How was that Maggia's fault..."
Neal Steal-"Well if Maggia hadn't suspended him he would have been here tonight. At least in the arena he would be contained somewhat...."
David Saturn-"You can't contain that nutcase! He should be in an asylum...Slick was horrified I'll never forget the look on his face as he witnessed that. The inferno match is going to be one hell of a spectacle!"
Neal Steal-"We can take our minds off that with Mr Royal gracing us with his presence next...its not like we saw him burn though is it?"
David Saturn-"The screams were horrific enough...Adkins is a vile, sick bastard!"
Neal Steal-"Watch your language!"
David Saturn-"We are just moments away from seeing Royal's mystery opponent named for Baddlands...and who knows maybe a massive upset! Rattlesnake has the opportunity of his life!"
From Dartmouth, Canada...RATTLESNAKE!!!
David Saturn-"Rattlesnake has strong links with Texas despite moving back to his native Canada..."
Neal Steal-"Forget Dartmouth, Canada it will be renamed Pottymouth, Canada with this idiot living there!"
Neal Steal-"We have seen Mr Megala, Rusty Axel and Mr Royal all on the same night!"
David Saturn-"We will be here as long as this takes..."
Both men go to lockup but Royal backs off drawing curses from Snake in response. Royal curses back clearly on the verge of snapping after what he's endured in recent weeks. Lockup and side headlock by Snake taking Royal down to one knee. Snake putting a lot of pressure on this hold though as we know grabbing a hold isn't really his style. Still Royal could well be his toughest opponent yet...
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal will tie Snake in knots!"
David Saturn-"Rattlesnake has not underestimated the size of the task he faces here tonight..."
Neal Steal-"Disqualify him for that eyerake!"
David Saturn-"If the "wonderful" Rusty can do that then so can Snake!"
Snake rakes Royal across the face and Royal complains as he fights to his feet. Snake works on the arm yanking it hard causing Royal to moan out in pain. Royal suddenly executes a amateur wrestling takedown out of nowhere taking Snake down to the mat. Snake won't beat Royal hold for hold and now Royal has a side headlock applied. The crowd of course are solidly behind Snake...
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal is fresh...Snake may still be concussed from last week..."
David Saturn-"Snake probably shouldn't have wrestled last week but he insisted on going to the ring. At 100% the scans showed no lasting injury..."
Neal Steal-"If it was a head scan on Snake it wouldn't have shown anything!"
Snake breaks the hold and grabs Royal's arm as Royal does the same. Test of strength here as both men try to gain an advantage. Snake maybe is stronger being taller and 65 pounds heavier. Of course Royal wins most matches either by superior wrestling or cheating. Strength isn't paramount. Royal with another side headlock and spins round perhaps looking for a rollup or takedown...
David Saturn-"Royal not taking Snake very seriously and perhaps in a non-ttile match he wouldn't be too worried. Snake however can hit that stunner out of nowhere..."
Neal Steal-"Maggia better keep to his word and name that opponent or we will see Mr Royal destroy him here tonight!"
David Saturn-"Roberto Maggia has guaranteed the fans the opponent will be named here tonight. He has never once lied to the fans..."
Neal Steal-"He's lied to Mr Megala and Mr Royal though..."
David Saturn-"He told one lie last week and considering it was Silvio he lied to nobody gave a rats ass! He told the truth all along about being the one who has the power...he never lied about that..."
Neal Steal-"Mr Megala won't tolerate his actions much longer...neither will Mr Royal."
Snake rears back his elbow catching Royal in the face. Snake charges off the ropes but runs into a hiptoss. Royal goes for the leg and before we see his intention Snake kicks him away. Snake will not want to be grounded by Royal and neither would most wrestlers. Royal glares at Snake as he gets back up. Both men circle and go for a lockup but Snake feigns instead connecting with a right hand!
David Saturn-"Ha ha! Snake lured Royal in there!"
Neal Steal-"He did not!"
David Saturn-"I saw it with my own eyes!"
Snake outsmarted Royal on that exchange (not something we will probably see often) and clubs Royal across the back. Snake whips Royal into the ropes, Royal charges back and Snake drops his head going for a back body drop. Too obvious especially against Royal and he drives Snake's face down into his knee. Snake stays on his feet and charges but Royal moves and the ref is knocked down...
David Saturn-"Oh typical Royal!"
Neal Steal-"Yahoo! Just one step away from another victory...come on Mr Royal!"
Immediately taking advantage Royal nails Snake with a low blow! Snake is doubled over in pain and Royal monitors him before charging and delivering the ROYAL MUTILATION! The ref was not caught too hard and is quickly back up to his feet. Royal makes the cover...1,2...3!!!
Neal Steal-"Yahoo! Yet another victory for Mr Royal!"
David Saturn-"Royal won't have much of a victory celebration...here comes Maggia! Here comes the moment we have awaited! Who is the opponent?"
As Royal defeats his opponent, Maggia slowly walks down from the back but stops halfway to the ring. Royal, after the match, throws his hands up in the air, not of desperation, but more or so asking Maggia "Who is this guy?"
Maggia doesn't say a word, but smiles as the lights dim in the arena and the following plays on the CRASHtron:
Scene opens on a desolate wasteland. A low angle of eerie light illuminates the landscape.
"Many years ago, before the world developed into civilized democracy, man relied on power and desire, not complacency, if he chose to be anything. Men formed armies with one common goal: conquer, plunder, and ultimately rule. The warriors that fill the pages of history may be long gone, but their spirit lives onward in the hearts of the truly cavalier."
Scene shows various shots of ruins and abandoned stone structures.
"All that remains in our sight are the cracked foundations of the lands they conquered, but in the hearts of us believers, they are very much alive. The desire lies within us to awaken one day and conquer what we see without fear of law, authority, or reprisal. Civilization be damned! If I want to rule the world, then I will! I do not need an army to rule, however. Men like Caesar, Hannibal, Alexander the Great, they needed men to fight with them. But I....I stand alone in my quest"
Scene zooms in to a shot behind a tall, muscular man raising his arms toward the sky amongst the desolation.
"Any man, any army, any entity that tries to slay me while on this quest will be turned away with maximum force. Those injured in my wake will be wise to learn from their misfortune and to never attempt to stop me again. There will be no apologies and there will be no amending. Because when I rule the world...."
The camera whips around to a close-up of the man's eyes, burning red:
"....no man can make me repent!"
Fade to black.
INVICTUS IS COMING TO AWR. KNEEL. ADMIRE. ACCEPT.
As the video package ends, the house lights return as the focus is turned to the top of the ramp where smoke has been slowly billowing but begins to dissipate. As it dissipates, 'Ride the Lightning' by Metallica begins to play as Invictus is now seen standing and smiling at Royal.
Focus shifts back to the ring where Royal has a look of pure horror on his face.
David Saturn-"Royal looks like he's seen a ghost! My God the mystery opponent is Lance Invictus! What a blockbuster! What a PPV!"
Neal Steal-"He can't do this! Maggia can't do this to Mr Royal!"
David Saturn-"We will see you next week at Baddlands...my God the lord of war is here and he's staring a hole right into Royal's very soul!"
LIVE!
COMMENTATORS
AND
As the show starts, “Say Hello” by POD blares over the PA system and the crowd begins to boo. As the music blares, Anthony Royal appears at the top of the stage dressed in his usual custom suit, AWR Championship resting on his shoulder. Royal appears angry and disheveled. He avoids his usual arrogant displays and walks to the ring with a purpose. He steps through the ropes and immediately demands a mic.
Royal: "Alright turn it off!"
The music cuts as the crowd continues to boo.
Royal: "Boo, boo, yeah we get it, please just shut the hell up so I can say what I came out here to say."
Of course, the crowd boos even louder after this. Instead of waiting it out, Royal just talks over the rowdy crowd.
Royal: "I’m going to make this quick. Bob Maggia, I said you were gonna end this charade and reveal my mystery opponent or else, so why don’t you get your pompous, bratty rear end out here and tell me who the hell it is."
Royal begins pacing around the ring looking very impatient. After a few moments, Maggia appears on the stage with a mic in hand.
Maggia: "I’m here Mr. Royal, and first let me say, ladies and gentlemen, Happy Thanksgiving…"
Royal: "Oh cut the crap Roberto. Happy Thanksgiving? The only thing I’m thankful for is in a few hours I’ll be getting the hell out of Lubbock, Texas..."
The crowd boos at this.
Royal: "Now Maggia, stop the pandering, stop the freaking games and tell me who my opponent is at Baddlands."
Maggia: "Alright champ, fair is fair. Do you want to know who your opponent is?"
Royal simply nods his head in anticipation.
Maggia: "Are you sure you want to know? I mean, this guy is no joke."
Royal: "Yes damn it! Yes! Who is it!?"
Maggia: "Alright Mr. Royal, you’ve asked for it. Your opponent is one of the most athletically gifted, naturally charismatic ring technicians to ever step between those ropes. He is also one of the most dangerous monsters you will ever have the misfortune to meet. He is a menace, a beast, an absolute tornado of pain and devastation. He is so vicious, they say he isn’t even human, here he is…THE GOBBLEDY GOOKER!"
The crowd begins to laugh as a large turkey appears at the top of the entrance ramp. Royal’s face has turned bright red from a lethal combination of embarrassment and anger.
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal has to wrestle this thing at the PPV? How demeaning to a man of his stature!"
Maggia: "The challenger would like to take this time to say a few things to the champion."
Roberto hands the mic over to the turkey.
Gobbledy Gooker: "GOBBLE, GOBLEDY, GOBBLE GOB…"
Royal: "THAT’S ENOUGH! YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY! I AM YOUR CHAMPION! I AM YOUR CENTERPIECE! I AM NOT A JOKE YOU POWER DRUNKEN LITTLE BASTARD! IF YOU CONTINUE TO TREAT ME LIKE THIS I’M GOING TO CUT THE HEAD OFF THAT STUPID TURKEY AND SHOVE IT UP SO FAR UP YOUR ASS YOU’LL BE COUGHING UP FEATHERS!"
Neal Steal-"This has to be the most ridiculous and least deserving recipient of a title shot I've ever seen..."
David Saturn-"Its a JOKE you fool!"
Neal Steal-"..........................."
Maggia: "Okay, okay, settle down, so maybe this isn’t your Baddlands opponent. But, I assure you Mr. Royal, he is here in Lubbock, and he will be revealed tonight. I’m waiting un the end of the night for your own benefit, because I assure you, all the things I said about this turkey here are in fact true about your real opponent, and I really didn’t want you to worry about putting that title on the line against such a force if you didn’t have to."
Royal looks confused in the ring.
Maggia: "Yeah, I see the confusion on your face Mr. Royal, but let me explain things. You may not have to worry about defending that championship at Baddlands, because by the end of the night, well, you may not have it."
Royal: "What are you talking about?"
Maggia: "I’m talking about how I’ve decided that your match with Rattlesnake tonight is now for the AWR Championship!"
The crowd explodes as Royal loses his mind in the ring. He is screaming "YOU CAN’T DO THIS" and kicking the ring ropes, throwing a tantrum like a child being told “no” to a toy he wants.
Maggia: "Have a good night!"
David Saturn-"Well we heard rumours the match between Royal and Rattlesnake might be for the title!"
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal takes his profession very seriously. Maggia knows nothing about his profession or for that matter professionalism!"
David Saturn-"Tonight we will also see Slick in action when he takes on Red Randal ahead of the huge inferno match at Baddlands."
Neal Steal-"Also we will be treated to seeing Rusty Axel in action!"
David Saturn-"Well right now we have the one thing we guarantee on CRASH Tv each week! A CRASH title match as Fa Sho takes on Jason Howard."
VS
From St Louis, Missouri...Kris...Fa Shooooooooooooooo...DESTINY!!!
David Saturn-"A big way to kick off the show here and who knows what mood we will see Fa Sho in tonight!"
Neal Steal-"Completely unprofessional conduct by Fa Sho last week when he selfishly took another man out of wrestling."
Accompanied by AWR head of talent relations Rusty Axel, from Gaithersburg, Maryland...Jason...HOWARD!!!
David Saturn-"Better start saying rasslin Steal one of your three main heroes is here..."
Neal Steal-"So not only do we get to see Rusty later we are also treated to an earlier appearance! Rusty cares a great deal about Jason's career and he couldn't have a better guide than Rusty!"
David Saturn-"If Fa Sho loses control Howard might need Rusty out here! Maybe a whole army!"
Neal Steal-"Well who knows what this maniac is capable of. He won't dare try anything with Rusty out here though the only thing Sho will lose is his bodily functions if Rusty goes after him!"
David Saturn-"Yes Sho must be terrified but he has to watch out for Rusty's distraction...and Rusty is in the ring!"
Howard is slow to enter which may be wise as Sho seems to be at his most unstable. Suddenly Rusty is in the ring distracting Sho but quickly retreats. Howard attacks from behind as the ref starts the match. Punches by Howard to Sho and a blatant choke. Howard goes to whip Sho into the far corner but Sho blocks and whips Howard back into the near corner. Club to the back of the head by Sho...
Neal Steal-"Look at Rusty he's so dedicated. Always scouting young talent the AWR has the best talent scout in all of rasslin!"
David Saturn-"Oh who is it..."
Neal Steal-"You know full well who it is he's right there!"
Howard drops to the mat as Rusty yells encouragement from the outside. Probably better he does not get physically involved as his incompetence cost Howard a match against Rattlesnake recently. Sho delivers a dropkick knocking Howard through the middle rope to the floor. Sho warns Rusty not to try anything before vaulting over the top rope with a flying crossbody taking Howard out!
Neal Steal-"Don't you speak to a legend like that! He's accomplished more in this business than you ever have!"
David Saturn-"Fa Sho has actually won titles something Rusty has never done..."
Neal Steal-"Rusty has wrestled Lou Thesz, Jack Brisco. Of course Sho will be facing someone even better than either of them next week but Rusty has faced anyone who has been anything in this business..."
David Saturn-"I doubt he ever even met Thesz or Brisco!"
Great aerial move there by Sho and he pulls Howard to his feet then rolls him back into the ring. Uppercut by Sho and Howard backed into the corner. Hard kick to the ribs by Sho. Sho goes for a whip, Howard reverses and cleverly slides to the outside grabbing Sho's legs and taking him down. Howard pulls Sho by the legs into the ringpost. A painful but somewhat legal low blow...
Neal Steal-"Ha ha! Give Sho a taste of his own medicine! He likes to break people's ankles come on Jason break his leg! Yahoo!"
David Saturn-"I've never understood why a blatant low blow using the ringpost isn't the same as a standard low blow."
Neal Steal-"This official better do his job right Rusty is watching..."
David Saturn-"I heard its Maggia who oversees the referees..."
Howard grapevines Sho's legs around the post and the ref orders him to break. Howard back in the ring and he knocks Sho down as he gets to his feet. Choke by Howard and he yells at the crowd who have started a "jason sucks" chant. Howard whips Sho off the ropes and executes a dropkick of his own. Howard taunts the crowd again as Rusty loudly applauds...
Neal Steal-"Jason looks up to Rusty so much. He knows Rusty fought for everything he had and he's going to move up in this business the right way..."
David Saturn-"We see Fa Sho grow into a great wrestler maybe Howard will be the same one day..."
Neal Steal-"Rusty could turn a broom into a great wrestler never mind someone with Jason's major potential..."
Shot to the ribs as Sho gets to his feet. Howard whips Sho into the corner following up with a clothesline. Sho whipped into the opposite corner but Jason is too obvious going for the same move. Sho charges taking down Howard with a clothesline! Howard on his feet and Sho kicks him in the ribs before delivering tw uppercuts. Sho whips Howard into the corner staying close as he follows up with a clothesline...
David Saturn-"Now that's a good move don't watch your opponent go into the corner stay alongside them..."
Neal Steal-"Sho learnt that from studying old tapes of Rusty. So many wrestlers have been influenced by Rusty's style over the years..."
David Saturn-"Thankfully that's ot true or we would never see a wrestling hold..."
Good move to immediately track an opponent like that instead of pausing then charging. Howard whipped off the ropes and Sho with the superkick! Howard staggers and is about to fall to the mat but Sho makes sure with a right hand. Sho goes to the top rope and comes off with a flying clothesline! Sho maybe moments away from a successful defense here and Rusty gets up onto the apron...
David Saturn-"Oh come on! Look at Rusty distract the referee...and Sho decks him!"
Neal Steal-"How dare he strike a prominent AWR official never mind one with Rusty's legacy in this business! Fa Sho has no respect!"
David Saturn-"Rusty had no business being up there!"
Sho knocks Rusty off the apron with a right hand and then applies the LOCKDOWN! Howard looks certain to tap but suddenly SILVIO MEGALA comes up from behind nailing Sho in the back of the head with a crowbar! The ref calls for the bell as the crowd erupt with boos...
WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION: FA SHO
David Saturn-"Fa Sho robbed of a submission victory and now he's being fed to the wolves!"
Neal Steal-"This is what they call wrestlers court! Fa Sho behaved disgracefully last week and this is his punishment..."
David Saturn-"Megala couldn't give a damn about what Fa Sho did last week! He does not want to wrestle at the PPV and now he's hoping Sho won't be able to!"
Rusty gets into the ring and Sho is now being stomped by the AWR President and Head Of Talent Relations. Howard joins in and Silvio tells Rusty and Howard to hold Sho in place. Silvio arrogantly slaps Sho and nails him with the crowbar again. Sho has been badly busted open and Roberto Maggia heads to the ring. Maggia begins yelling at Silvio who looks like he might ignore the order.
Neal Steal-"Maggia poking his nose in again! Stop taking up all this Tv time! Maggia's an egomaniac..."
David Saturn-"Oh and Silvio and Rusty are humble right? Maggia has hopefully halted this attack with this influence he holds over Megala..."
Neal Steal-"Its blackmail! Don't sugercoat Maggia's disgraceful actions!"
David Saturn-"No sympathy from me for Megala having seen so many of his misdeeds in the past..."
After a moment however Silvio leaves once again giving in to the blackmail but for how much longer? Rusty and Jason continue stomping on Sho but Maggia tells Silvio to call them off. Since Silvio is on good terms with Rusty (having hired him) and has no past issues with Jason both men listen and retreat up the ramp. Silvio and Maggia argue at the top of the ramp as Sho gets up to his knees. Sho sees Maggia with Silvio on the ramp and screams in anger...
David Saturn-"Looks ike Fa Sho has caught the wrong end of the stick again here..."
Neal Steal-"For once we can agree on something his conspiracy theories are ridiculous..."
David Saturn-"Sho sees conspiracy morning, noon and night! He's a dangerous man and that's a bad laceration on his forehead there...we will be back in a few moments on this chaotic start to CRASH Tv!"
Sho obviously didn't see Maggia was the one who ordered an end to the assault and even if he had he may still believe there's a Silvio/Maggia conspiracy. Sho gets to his feet as Maggia and Silvio go through the curtain still arguing.
********************************************************************************************************
MOMENTS AGO
We see a repeat of the beatdown Fa Sho just took at the hands of Silvio Megala, Rusty Axel and Jason Howard. We see Silvio getting into his limo as Sho rushes into the parking lot screaming Megala and Maggia's names. Perhaps he thinks Maggia is also in the limo (though we didn't see him get in) as the limo speeds off. Sho gets into a car (which may or may not be his) and gives chase to the limo. The scene cuts back to the announcers...
David Saturn-"Well I've been told Maggia is still backstage though I don't believe for a moment he's in cahoots with Megala..."
Neal Steal-"Well at least Fa Sho's left that's a relief for everybody here. Nobody wants that maniac on the rampage. Mr Megala's limo driver will lose him...not that Mr Megala is afraid of Sho..."
David Saturn-"So why did he make such a fast getaway then? Sho didn't even get treatment for that cut blood was pouring from it."
Neal Steal-"They probably haven't even invented anesthetic even in Texas."
David Saturn-"I don't think Fa Sho would need that for a few stitches. Anyway as we said last week Helll recently suffered the loss of his young daughter. Earlier today our cameras followed Hell to the arena right here in Lubbock, Texas!"
With the devastating loss of his five year old child Grace and the pain he has felt and suffered inside. After weeks of being at home in his room Damian Lucifer decides it is time he got back into the ring. However this time Damian will take a new route back to AWR. Damian has decided this time he will not be so nice anymore.
With weeks of rage building up inside of him Damian has lost most of his sanity. What was once human is no longer. As Damian leaves his home and heads to the arena after a few minutes on the road he is cut off. Damian immediately flies into a fit of anger. He changes direction and heads after the driver of the car that cut him off. He is right behind it now.
As the car comes to a halt for a stop light Hell also comes to a stop behind the car. He gets out and charges to the drivers door, He opens it and pulls the man out. The man looks shocked but is a big strapping guy none the less.
Man: "HEY WHAT THE F.............."
Hell: "You cut me off back there!"
Man: "SO WHAT BUDDY I'M IN A HURRY NOW GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME!"
Hell: "YOU MEAN YOUR IN A HURRY TO GET YOUR ASS KICKED!"
The man grips Hells wrist to make him let go but Hell gives him a quick shot to the jaw. The mans grip goes limp.Hell then shoves the mans head in the door and slams it shut several times. The man falls to the pavement bleeding and Hell leaves him there. As Hell is walking away he speaks.
Hell: "I bet you will think before you ever cut anyone off again you piece of steroid filled shit!"
As Hell gets back in his car the light changes. Hell looks at his watch.
Hell: "Not bad! It took all of thirty seconds from the time I left my car and got to his and kicked that fat steroid filled slobs ass!"
Hell drives away and once again heads towards the arena. Once he gets there he pulls into the parking lot and parks his car. As he gets out he sees Neal Steals car. Hell opens the door and proceeds to piss all over the drivers seat. Hell looks deep into the camera.
Hell: "Steal if your watching this I heard your comments last week on Crash TV. I SWEAR if you ever make another comment about my parenting again or so much as look at me wrong I will break your sniveling little spine like a match stick. Be on guard because I will be watching your every move!"
Hell slams the door shut and heads inside. As he enters the door he comes face to face with Matt Harris. Matt looks down at Hell almost as though he is measuring Hell up. Hell glares up at Matt. Feeling a bit strange about the fact that it is rare he has to look up at anyone Matt has that look in his eyes and Hell sees it and can read it. Hell makes a comment.
Hell: "I see that look in your eyes............It really would not be a good time this soon for you to think you are ready to step up. Not ANYTIME soon!"
Hell brushes past Matt and as he carries on his way with Matt glaring at him in the distance its not long before he walks past Robert Carr who glares up at Hell. Hell stops and stares down at Carr.
Hell: "I could squash you like the cockroach you are but that would be as much of a waste of my time as it is a waste of the air you breath. Do me a favor and let your REAL LEADER Tracy Adkins know I am back."
Hell knows this comment will get Carr upset. Carr is really pissed off but remains silent and goes on his way. Hell waves at him in a mocking way.
Hell: "STUPID SON OF A BITCH! WELL I AM BACK IN AWR. NOW THE REAL PAIN AND SUFFERING WILL BEGIN. THIS TIME HELL IS BACK BUT.... ITS TIME TO BRING BACK HELL....THE NEW BLOOD!"
As Hell walks the hallway the scene switches.
David Saturn-"Hell is a changed man! If he was unpredictable and dangerous before he is probably that now x10!"
Neal Steal-"Shows what a weak man Hell is using his daughter's death as a means of unleashing pent up aggression..."
David Saturn-"Well you can't blame him for being pissed off at the world after what he's suffered recently. Hell of course will be in action against Matt Harris at the PPV and Harris is set to go one on one with Robert Carr right now!"
VS
Accompanied by Red Randal, from Ontario, Canada...Robert...CARR!!!
David Saturn-"Carr bringing Red Randal to the ring with him. Tracy Adkins still suspended of course..."
Neal Steal-"Carr is going to cut this big oaf Matt Harris down to size! Randal is only out here to stop Bret Harris from cheating..."
David Saturn-"Yeah right...indeed it looks like Matt is being accompanied by his brother Bret. Of course Rattlesnake has a huge match tonight and that's where his entire focus will be..."
Neal Steal-"Totally unfair on Mr Royal..."
David Saturn-"Why is it unfair? He hasn't even wrestled in almost a month!"
Accompanied by Bret Harris, from Dartmouth, Canada...Matt...HARRIS!!!
Neal Steal-"I heard Bret is teaching Matt some technical holds. I guess it would have to be him since Rattlesnake has never used a wrestling hold in his life..."
David Saturn-"Well Bret is certainly the most technically proficient of the 3 brothers. Matt is facing a very good technical wrestler in Robert Carr here..."
Neal Steal-"Bret Harris should really be ejected from ringside..."
David Saturn-"So should Randal then."
Carr is a little slow to enter the ring as Randal stands with him at ringside. Matt unwisely takes his eyes away from Carr and exchanges some words with Bret from inside the ring. Carr takes advantage by quickly entering the ring and charging at Matt from behind. Blows to the back by Carr have little effect however as Matt simply absorbs them then nails Carr with a right hand. Carr is staggered as a second shot follows...
Neal Steal-"Matt Harris is a big guy who thinks he can just walk in off the street and learn how to wrestle. He's caught a lucky break having brothers who are pros that's all..."
David Saturn-"He's certainly very raw in the ring and still learning. What a test he will have at the PPV you can't say he's ever going to shirk a challenge accepting a match with Hell!"
Neal Steal-"Who knows maybe Hell will have met his match. Can't believe what he did to my car that was a rental as well!"
David Saturn-"Can't Silvio or Royal lend you their limos?"
Carr to his credit absorbs the second shot and fires back at his huge opponent with a right of his own. Matt responds with with a clubbing blow to the head hen whips Carr off the ropes. Carr charges back running right into a big boot! Matt grins at his brother before delivering a massive legdrop! Cover...1,2...and Carr gets his shoulder up. Carr whipped off the ropes again, ducks a clothesline by taking out Matt's legs with a tackle.
Neal Steal-"Yahoo! Carr showing his expertise right there!"
David Saturn-"The obvious thing to do but also the most effective. Matt still has to learn defense strategy in the ring lets see how he handles himself on the ground."
Neal Steal-"Come on Robert! Lets hope we see one idiot have his leg broken tonight!"
David Saturn-"What has Matt Harris done to you to deserve being called an idiot?"
Neal Steal-"He's an idiot by association and its not like the Harris Bros or Rattlesnake had much luck with brain genetics..."
David Saturn-"Carr still moaning about losing the CRASH title. Can't accept that the better man won each time..."
Good move by Carr to take the big man off his feet and he begins to work on the leg. Carr drives his elbow into Matt's knee then applies pressure with his foot blatantly using the ropes for leverage. The ref tells Carr to break which draws predictable moans. Carr then repeats the move anyway and the ref admonishes him again. Carr goes for a figure 4 but Matt kicks him with force sending him through the ropes to the outside...
David Saturn-"Well I guess you can use tremendous strength even when you're on the ground! Very effective counter!"
Neal Steal-"Get away you cheat! Bret Harris was going to attack Robert there!"
David Saturn-"You might be right Bret and Rattlesnake have certainly bent a few rules in the past...and there's a cheap shot by Randal!"
Neal Steal-"Bret Harris intended to interfere that's the only reason Randal did that..."
The ref warns Bret Harris who approaches Carr and that may not have been the best idea from Bret. That inadvertently gave Randal the chance to trip Matt from the outside as he was getting to his feet. Matt turns his attention to Randal as Carr charges. However Matt notices at the last moment and tosses Carr into the corner delivering a ferocious chop to the chest! Another chop knocks Carr to his knees...
Neal Steal-"Oh that's original. Big monster chops the hell out of his opponent..."
David Saturn-"He's doing what anyone his size would do. What do you expect him to do leap onto the ropes and pull off a moonsault!"
Neal Steal-"That would be original for someone his size yes..."
David Saturn-"Carr deserves those chops. Matt Harris was screwed last week and he wants revenge on Carr for that and for the demeaning comments by Carr earlier this week..."
Matt whips Carr into the opposite corner and slowly approaches. Hard elbow to the chest by Matt and he goes to whip Carr across the ring. Carr blocks the whip but Matt simply clotheslines him to the mat instead! Randal is up on the apron and Matt nails him with a right hand! Bret sprints round the ring and begins to brawl with Randal! Matt signals for the CHOKESLAM and he delivers it! Matt with the cover...1,2...3!!!
WINNER BY PINFALL: MATT HARRIS
David Saturn-"My God what a chokeslam! Matt Harris defeats Robert Carr in the centre of the ring! A big win for the rookie here!"
Neal Steal-"Flash in the pan. I definitely hope Matt beats Hell but he won't be able to chokeslam him like that! Poor Robert will need a chiropractor being slammed into the mat like that! Why do all people his size need to use the chokeslam?"
David Saturn-"Because it takes them to the pay window more often that not..."
A big statement of intent from Matt Harris but will he be able to chokeslam Hell at the PPV? Or will he receive a chokeslam of his own? Matt and Bret walk up the ramp as Randal is down on the outside and Carr is sprawled on the mat from the effects of the chokeslam.
Neal Steal-"Carr will get some retribution next week by taking out Matt's brother Rattlesnake!"
David Saturn-"Carr is hurt...who knows he might have seen it in his best interests for Snake to win tonight."
Neal Steal-"Robert would never do something like that..."
David Saturn-"Because he can barely walk! Man he's gonna be sore in the morning...and he has a 2 out of 3 falls match next week! We will be back after this brief commercial timeout..."
********************************************************************************************************
As we return from commercial, we see Anthony Royal walking down a corridor, fuming, talking to himself a bit about Maggia screwing him, when suddenly something catches his eye. The camera pans over and we see the turkey from earlier in the night standing at a catering table where a Thanksgiving type dinner has been set up for the AWR wrestlers and crew. Royal’s face turns red and he lets out a primal scream as he charges the turkey mascot and spears it to the ground. He then begins laying in right hands to the head of the man (?) in the suit. After a few stiff shots, Royal gets to his feet. He looks to the table where he sees a real, cooked turkey. As the suited turkey gets to his feet (talons?), Royal picks up the real turkey and bashes it over the mascot’s head. He stands over the turkey with a crazed look in his eyes before finally walking away.
David Saturn: "Wow, our World Champion just hit a turkey in the head with a…turkey. I can’t believe that sentence just came out of my mouth…"
Neal Steal: "Well I’d say that’s better treatment than that oversized poultry ever deserved!"
David Saturn: "Can we please just get to some wrestling?"
Neal Steal-"Well when you think of great rasslin you think of Rusty Axel and here he comes! Yahoo!"
David Saturn-"That wasn't quite what I had in mind..."
VS
From Savannah, Georgia...Rusty...AXEL!!!
Neal Steal-"Rusty Axel has wrestled just about everywhere. Fairs, barns, big arenas like this...but he's never had to experience something like this! Wrestling this oaf!"
David Saturn-"Well they met in a tag match Steal or does your memory not stretch back more than a couple of weeks?"
Neal Steal-"Lou Thesz, Jack Brisco...Playboy Pete? How ridiculous does that sentence sound..."
David Saturn-"Exactly the suggestion that Rusty ever wrestled Thesz and Brisco is absurd..."
Neal Steal-"It is true! He wrestled Jack Brisco in his prime and Thesz near the end of his career! Late 70's..."
From Ontario, Canada...Playboy...PETE!!!
David Saturn-"Well here comes a guy who really knows the meaning of FUN!"
Neal Steal-"The meaning of vulgarity more like. The only thing Pete is an expert on is food...and he can't even cook from what I heard! Ha ha ha ha ha!"
David Saturn-"Well I don't think this will be a classic...and that first move by Rusty illustrates that! This match might have some bowling shoe tendencies..."
Both men lockup and Rusty immediately resorts to that classic "catch as catch can" move...a thumb to the eye. Rusty throws Pete to the outside where his women are handing out Thanksgiving pie to fans in the crowd. Pete with a barrage of right hands and Rusty is staggered but connects with a knee to the ribs. Rusty then rams Pete face first into the steel steps before leering at Pete's women...
David Saturn-"Pete's women out here handing out free pies to the crowd..."
Neal Steal-"They shouldn't have foof near Pete while he's in the ring. He will be distracted...not that he has a chance against Rusty anyway!"
David Saturn-"Not sure what Pete's full time status in the AWR is but the crowd are sure happy to see him..."
Pete's women aren't exactly fussy but they look disgusted by Rusty. Rusty said he would never touch Pete's women but he seems to be eyeing a couple of them closely! Rusty rams Pete face first into the announce table and then grabs a sack of pies from one of the women. He takes one of the pies and as Pete is up Rusty throws the pie towards him. Pete ducks and the pie hits Steal in the face!
David Saturn-"HA HA!"
Neal Steal-"Pete you fat, obese idiot!"
David Saturn-"How can you blame Pete for that? I guess its about time you had a taste of pie Steal!"
Neal Steal-"Oh shut up Saturn! Someone get me a cloth!"
Saturn laughs as Steal yells at Pete for some reason despite Rusty being the one who threw it. Rusty rams Pete's head into the apron then picks up the steel steps! The ref isn't counting them out perhaps afraid of the official influence Rusty has. Rusty raises the steps and the ref tries to stop him. The distraction gives Pete time to move avoiding the steps before rolling back into the ring...
Neal Steal-"Imagine the grease stain that would have left! Look at Pete he's got greasy bits of food stuck in his facial hair..."
David Saturn-"Well it wasn't exactly pleasant seeing Rusty's teeth up close earlier either..."
Neal Steal-"I guess Pete feels right at home here in Texas. No wonder he got such a loud cheer this is the fattest state in all the US! Proven statistical fact Saturn!"
David Saturn-"Well it is a stereotype that has some truth to it I suppose but who cares whether the fans here are big or small! We welcome all shapes and sizes!"
Rusty follows kicking Pete in the ribs. Pete gets to his feet but is backed into the corner as Rusty pounds away with right hands. Rusty with a blatant choke and another right hand before the ref breaks it up. The ref admonishes Rusty who looks annoyed that a referee would dare to tell him off. Rusty moves back towards Pete but Playboy spins him round and Rusty is now backed into the corner!
Neal Steal-"Pete isn't even grateful to be sharing the ring with greatness! I think deep down he's embarrassed for Rusty because like all far people he's insecure and can see what an oaf he is..."
David Saturn-"He's doing just fine in this match. I don't think we are fooled into believing Pete will ever be a world champion but at least he might win a title before Rusty does!"
Neal Steal-"Pete telling blatant lies this past week. You know full well Saturn it was Maggia who hired B-Man you said so yourself..."
David Saturn-"Well Pete must have been given some bad info. Big Bad B-Man not here tonight but we will see him at Baddlands and remember Slick is still to come!"
Right hands by Pete and the crowd are on their feet. The ref breaks it up drawing boos but it was fair officiating. Pete moves back towards Rusty who elbows Pete hard in the throat knocking the big man to the mat. Rusty charges off the ropes, baseball slide to the outside and a hard right hand to Pete's face. Pete's head is stretched over the apron and Rusty delivers some hard elbows.
Neal Steal-"Yahoo! Back in Rusty's day getting into this business was tough! Pete wouldn't have lasted 2 minutes with the type of training Rusty had..."
David Saturn-"I'm amazed Rusty has lasted so long with how little talent he actually has. This is a very unusual business..."
Neal Steal-"Don't you order Rusty like that! Show some respect!"
David Saturn-"Its the referees job...to enforce the rules!"
The ref demands Rusty return to the ring. As Rusty gets back in he kicks Pete hard and that was almost a low blow. Rusty dares the ref to DQ him then chokes Pete with his boot. Knee to the face but Pete is tougher than he looks and gets back to his feet. Right hand by Rusty, another and then he charges off the ropes. As Rusty charges Pete grabs him...bearhug! Rusty could be in trouble here...
David Saturn-"Bearhug! He's gonna squeeze the life out of Rusty!"
Neal Steal-"Rusty can counter any move in the world..."
David Saturn-"As long as he can dig his thumb into someone's eye...what finesse!"
Neal Steal-"Well Rusty is about substance over style he's said so himself! If he was facing a technical wrestler we would see more of his expertise in that area..."
David Saturn-"He has no technical wrestling skill whatsoever!"
Rusty however breaks it up quickly with his favourite counter...a thunb to the eye. The second of the match from the self proclaimed wrestling expert and Pete staggers in pain. Hard clothesline by Rusty knocks Pete down to the mat! Rusty arrogantly raises his hands and celebrates as if a win is just seconds away. Rusty with the cover...1,2...and Pete gets his shoulder up much to Rusty's frustration!
Neal Steal-"Slow count! You can learn from Rusty when it comes to timekeeping! Never been late, he's meticulous..."
David Saturn-"Well its true I've never known Rusty to show up late...he's always been here hours early even before he became head of talent relations..."
Rusty complains to the ref but it was a well timed count. Rusty with a kick to the head but Pete still manages to get to his feet. Right hand by Rusty and then he goes to whip Pete into the ropes. Pete reverses, Rusty charges back, ducks a right hand and delivers an uppercut. Pete staggers but suddenly delivers a brutal mule kick to the face out of nowhere! That caught Rusty right on the chin!
David Saturn-"MY GOD! Rusty just had his clock cleaned!"
Neal Steal-"Find that funny do you going about time and using a stupid phrase like that?"
David Saturn-"Pete gyrating there...that's even uglier than Rusty's wrestling skills..."
Despite Pete's looks he is still a decent athlete for his size. Rusty is laid out on the mat and Pete gyrates which isn't a pretty sight but it still gets cheers! Pete charges off the ropes...buttdrop! Pete does not go for the cover which may be a mistake instead deciding to gyrate again. The ladies cheer him on at ringside and Pete goes to the top rope. Suddenly JASON HOWARD appears at ringside...
David Saturn-"Jason Howard out here and I doubt he's come just to cheerlead!"
Neal Steal-"It was a prostitute who put that laxative in Jason's drink...that's the type of morals these women have. Slap 'em down Jason!"
David Saturn-"You just don't mess with Pete's women! Pete is going after his arch rival..."
Jason grabs a couple of Pete's women and Pete gets down from the top rope. Pete is going to the outside but Rusty suddenly comes from behind and rolls up Pete with the RUSTY WHEEL! Feet are on the ropes but the ref does not see it! 1,2...3!!!
WINNER BY PINFALL: RUSTY AXEL
Neal Steal-"Another thrilling victory for Rusty Axel but probably the easiest of his career!"
David Saturn-"Oh shut up! Look at the pride on Rusty's face he's genuinely proud of winning a match in that fashion!"
Rusty celebrates like he's won a million dollars as Jason enters the ring. Both men stomp on Pete as Jason has some pies in his hand he grabbed from the ladies. Jason grabs one of the pies and shoves it right into Pete's face. Jason starts throwing the pies one after another at Pete as Rusty cheers him on. More stomps by both men follow before more referees come out and break it up. Rusty and Jason raise their hands as they walk up the ramp to loud boos from the crowd.
David Saturn-"Well I don't think we have seen the last of Pete after that. Completely uncalled for from Rusty Axel and Jason Howard..."
Neal Steal-"These kids here tonight will be able to tell their grandchildren years from now that they actually saw the legendary Rusty Axel live and in person!"
David Saturn-"Ah yes I'm sure this will have been an unforgettable match for them...cough...cough...wait a moment that bar...that's in Springfield..."
Neal Steal-"That does not look like Moe's to me..."
David Saturn-"I've been in that bar with Slick and B-Man before...that's in Springfield the hometown of the Badd Boyz. Slick is here tonight but I haven't heard anything from B-Man about a satellite linkup if he's at home that is..."
Neal Steal-"That bar probably is his home! Ha ha ha ha ha!"
The scene opens up outside a "hole in the wall" bar where a guy holding 2 trash bags walks outside and puts them in a dumpster. Inside two more men distract the bar tender.
Man 1: "Hey is it true that Slick and B-Man go to this bar all the time?
Bartender: Yeah they show up when they ain't on the road.
Man 2: Well are they here now?
Bartender: Na man they ain't here right now.
Man 1: Good.
Tracy Adkins comes out of nowhere and attacks the bartender with a pipe in the back and leg. After he works over the bartenders legs Tracy grabs the bartenders head and slams his head in the dumpster a few times till he's out cold.
Tracy: Hey Red Bird get the van. Running Cloud get the rope.
A van comes in to view and Tracy and Running Cloud tie up the bartender. They then throw him in the back of the van before the camera fades out.
********************************************************************************************************
VS
David Saturn-"Some disturbing scenes moments ago as we saw Tracy Adkins kidnap that bartender. I know that guy he's a good friend of Slick and B-Man's..."
Neal Steal-"Offer them free booze does he? Special bonus on happy hour?"
David Saturn-"Shut up! That guy has just been kidnapped and this is a very bad situation developing here. The last guy you want to be kidnapped by is Tracy Adkins..."
From Halifax, Canada...Red...RANDAL!!!
David Saturn-"I don't know whether Randal had anything to do with that kidnap or not but I'm sure Slick has seen what is happening in Springfield..."
Neal Steal-"He's probably going to use it as an excuse to chicken out of that matchup...no pun intended considering what day it is!"
David Saturn-"I think we have seen enough chickens tonight...or turkeys...Slick may be on the phone to B-Man who may well be at home in Springfield...wait here comes Slick!"
From Springfield, Massachusetts...Slick...DOCTOR!!!
David Saturn-"Slick wasting no time! Slick no doubt is worried and maybe even scared of what he just saw with his friend being kidnapped....he's going to take it out on Randal!"
Neal Steal-"Do you think Tracy even cares what might happen to Randal? Of course Randal is more than capable of defending himself..."
David Saturn-"I doubt Tracy gives a damn. Slick looks a little scared...not that he has to step into the inferno this week but about his friend's welfare. That bartender is not a wrestler..."
It looks like Slick has seen what just happened moments ago as he comes charging to the ring. Slick wastes no time attacking Randal here pounding away with right hands. Slick whips Randal off the ropes, Randal charges back, ducks a clothesline and connects with a shoulder charge. Slick maybe started too fast here though its understandable considering the circumstances...
Neal Steal-"Never seen Slop look quite this angry..."
David Saturn-"Well how many more times do I need to say he's obviously worried!"
Neal Steal-"Its Randal you should be feeling sorry for as well he did not want to be in the inferno at Baddlands..."
David Saturn-"Slick is a little worried about Baddlands but who wouldn't be in that kind of match? Right now all he's worried about is what that nutcase Adkins is doing! Adkins needs help!"
Randal taunts the crowd wasting time instead of maintaining his attack. Randal with shots to the ribs as Slick gets to his feet and Randal tosses him over the top rope. Randal taunts the crowd again then follows and kicks Slick in the ribs. He then scoops Slick up and delivers a slam on the mats which don't offer much protection at all. Randal pulls Slick to his feet and begins to choke him...
Neal Steal-"Ha ha! Choke the life out of him! Pull out that hair...he has horrible hair!"
David Saturn-"Randal very focused here I don't know if Randal is even aware of what is happening and why Slick came out so fast..."
Randal grabs Slick's hair pulling out a chunk of it. Uppercut and Slick rolled back into the ring. Another uppercut and Randal whips Slick off the ropes. Randal scoops Slick up going for a sidewalk slam but Slick slips away. Slick with a spinning heel kick to the back of Randal's head and he goes for the SLICK STRETCH! Randal reacts with a blatant low blow from the back of his boot and the ref calls for the bell.
WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION: SLICK DOCTOR
David Saturn-"I doubt Randal even cares about winning this match! This is a chance for him to take Slick out before the PPV!"
Neal Steal-"Don't do that Randal...I want to see Slop deep fried!"
David Saturn-"You're a sick, sick man..."
Randal goes for a chair and slowly heads back into the ring. As Slick gets to his feet Randal raises the chair. However he stupidly raises it right in front of his face and Slick dropkicks the chair right into his face! Slick grabs the chair and drives it hard into Randal's ribs! Slick then drives it right into Randal's throat! Slick with a shot to the back and Randal speeds out of the ring and up the ramp!
David Saturn-"Slick was going to do some serious damage there.I don't blame Randal for getting away as fast as he could..."
Neal Steal-"Slop disgracefully using a chair to beat up Randal..."
David Saturn-"Randal brought the damn thing into the ring! Wait look at the CRASHtron that looks like some woods there its very dark...and oh no! Somebody get the man some help!"
We see the bartender sitting on the ground with his hands tied behind his back and Tracy comes into view.
Tracy: They say that being on fire is the most painful thing you will feel. Slick at the PPV you or B-Man will feel that pain.
Tracy looks at the bartender.
Tracy: Brisk night ain't it but don't worry it will warm up soon.
Tracy smirks.
Tracy: You see this is not my fault. This is my partners fault for crying to Maggia and getting me suspended. This is Maggia's fault for suspending me till the PPV. This is B-Mans fault for sticking his nose were it didn't belong. Well how about we warm things up...
Tracy starts pouring gas on the bartender then the camera zooms in on Tracy's face as he strikes a match then you see Tracy's face lit up by flames and he's smirking as you hear screams
********************************************************************************************************
MOMENTS AGO
We see a repeat of the shocking actions by Tracy Adkins just moments ago. The scene cuts to a shot of a horrified Saturn while Steal looks angry as well....
David Saturn-"We did not need to see that again!"
Neal Steal-"Maggia needed to satisfy his bloodlust. This is all his fault..."
David Saturn-"How can you make such an asinine comment? How was that Maggia's fault..."
Neal Steal-"Well if Maggia hadn't suspended him he would have been here tonight. At least in the arena he would be contained somewhat...."
David Saturn-"You can't contain that nutcase! He should be in an asylum...Slick was horrified I'll never forget the look on his face as he witnessed that. The inferno match is going to be one hell of a spectacle!"
Neal Steal-"We can take our minds off that with Mr Royal gracing us with his presence next...its not like we saw him burn though is it?"
David Saturn-"The screams were horrific enough...Adkins is a vile, sick bastard!"
Neal Steal-"Watch your language!"
David Saturn-"We are just moments away from seeing Royal's mystery opponent named for Baddlands...and who knows maybe a massive upset! Rattlesnake has the opportunity of his life!"
VS
From Dartmouth, Canada...RATTLESNAKE!!!
David Saturn-"Rattlesnake has strong links with Texas despite moving back to his native Canada..."
Neal Steal-"Forget Dartmouth, Canada it will be renamed Pottymouth, Canada with this idiot living there!"
From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania...Anthony...ROYAL!!!
Neal Steal-"We have seen Mr Megala, Rusty Axel and Mr Royal all on the same night!"
David Saturn-"We will be here as long as this takes..."
Both men go to lockup but Royal backs off drawing curses from Snake in response. Royal curses back clearly on the verge of snapping after what he's endured in recent weeks. Lockup and side headlock by Snake taking Royal down to one knee. Snake putting a lot of pressure on this hold though as we know grabbing a hold isn't really his style. Still Royal could well be his toughest opponent yet...
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal will tie Snake in knots!"
David Saturn-"Rattlesnake has not underestimated the size of the task he faces here tonight..."
Neal Steal-"Disqualify him for that eyerake!"
David Saturn-"If the "wonderful" Rusty can do that then so can Snake!"
Snake rakes Royal across the face and Royal complains as he fights to his feet. Snake works on the arm yanking it hard causing Royal to moan out in pain. Royal suddenly executes a amateur wrestling takedown out of nowhere taking Snake down to the mat. Snake won't beat Royal hold for hold and now Royal has a side headlock applied. The crowd of course are solidly behind Snake...
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal is fresh...Snake may still be concussed from last week..."
David Saturn-"Snake probably shouldn't have wrestled last week but he insisted on going to the ring. At 100% the scans showed no lasting injury..."
Neal Steal-"If it was a head scan on Snake it wouldn't have shown anything!"
Snake breaks the hold and grabs Royal's arm as Royal does the same. Test of strength here as both men try to gain an advantage. Snake maybe is stronger being taller and 65 pounds heavier. Of course Royal wins most matches either by superior wrestling or cheating. Strength isn't paramount. Royal with another side headlock and spins round perhaps looking for a rollup or takedown...
David Saturn-"Royal not taking Snake very seriously and perhaps in a non-ttile match he wouldn't be too worried. Snake however can hit that stunner out of nowhere..."
Neal Steal-"Maggia better keep to his word and name that opponent or we will see Mr Royal destroy him here tonight!"
David Saturn-"Roberto Maggia has guaranteed the fans the opponent will be named here tonight. He has never once lied to the fans..."
Neal Steal-"He's lied to Mr Megala and Mr Royal though..."
David Saturn-"He told one lie last week and considering it was Silvio he lied to nobody gave a rats ass! He told the truth all along about being the one who has the power...he never lied about that..."
Neal Steal-"Mr Megala won't tolerate his actions much longer...neither will Mr Royal."
Snake rears back his elbow catching Royal in the face. Snake charges off the ropes but runs into a hiptoss. Royal goes for the leg and before we see his intention Snake kicks him away. Snake will not want to be grounded by Royal and neither would most wrestlers. Royal glares at Snake as he gets back up. Both men circle and go for a lockup but Snake feigns instead connecting with a right hand!
David Saturn-"Ha ha! Snake lured Royal in there!"
Neal Steal-"He did not!"
David Saturn-"I saw it with my own eyes!"
Snake outsmarted Royal on that exchange (not something we will probably see often) and clubs Royal across the back. Snake whips Royal into the ropes, Royal charges back and Snake drops his head going for a back body drop. Too obvious especially against Royal and he drives Snake's face down into his knee. Snake stays on his feet and charges but Royal moves and the ref is knocked down...
David Saturn-"Oh typical Royal!"
Neal Steal-"Yahoo! Just one step away from another victory...come on Mr Royal!"
Immediately taking advantage Royal nails Snake with a low blow! Snake is doubled over in pain and Royal monitors him before charging and delivering the ROYAL MUTILATION! The ref was not caught too hard and is quickly back up to his feet. Royal makes the cover...1,2...3!!!
WINNER BY PINFALL: ANTHONY ROYAL
Neal Steal-"Yahoo! Yet another victory for Mr Royal!"
David Saturn-"Royal won't have much of a victory celebration...here comes Maggia! Here comes the moment we have awaited! Who is the opponent?"
As Royal defeats his opponent, Maggia slowly walks down from the back but stops halfway to the ring. Royal, after the match, throws his hands up in the air, not of desperation, but more or so asking Maggia "Who is this guy?"
Maggia doesn't say a word, but smiles as the lights dim in the arena and the following plays on the CRASHtron:
Scene opens on a desolate wasteland. A low angle of eerie light illuminates the landscape.
"Many years ago, before the world developed into civilized democracy, man relied on power and desire, not complacency, if he chose to be anything. Men formed armies with one common goal: conquer, plunder, and ultimately rule. The warriors that fill the pages of history may be long gone, but their spirit lives onward in the hearts of the truly cavalier."
Scene shows various shots of ruins and abandoned stone structures.
"All that remains in our sight are the cracked foundations of the lands they conquered, but in the hearts of us believers, they are very much alive. The desire lies within us to awaken one day and conquer what we see without fear of law, authority, or reprisal. Civilization be damned! If I want to rule the world, then I will! I do not need an army to rule, however. Men like Caesar, Hannibal, Alexander the Great, they needed men to fight with them. But I....I stand alone in my quest"
Scene zooms in to a shot behind a tall, muscular man raising his arms toward the sky amongst the desolation.
"Any man, any army, any entity that tries to slay me while on this quest will be turned away with maximum force. Those injured in my wake will be wise to learn from their misfortune and to never attempt to stop me again. There will be no apologies and there will be no amending. Because when I rule the world...."
The camera whips around to a close-up of the man's eyes, burning red:
"....no man can make me repent!"
Fade to black.
INVICTUS IS COMING TO AWR. KNEEL. ADMIRE. ACCEPT.
As the video package ends, the house lights return as the focus is turned to the top of the ramp where smoke has been slowly billowing but begins to dissipate. As it dissipates, 'Ride the Lightning' by Metallica begins to play as Invictus is now seen standing and smiling at Royal.
Focus shifts back to the ring where Royal has a look of pure horror on his face.
David Saturn-"Royal looks like he's seen a ghost! My God the mystery opponent is Lance Invictus! What a blockbuster! What a PPV!"
Neal Steal-"He can't do this! Maggia can't do this to Mr Royal!"
David Saturn-"We will see you next week at Baddlands...my God the lord of war is here and he's staring a hole right into Royal's very soul!"
