Narrator - Tonight... is the night we've all been waiting for.
Tonight... the World Wrestling Alliance, a collection of the best of the best comes to Cleveland.
Narrator - Tonight... the world is watching.

Narrator - Tonight... WWA gold comes to Graveyard Shift 110 as WMW takes their first shot at making WWA history.
[The shot changes to across the arena, as another banner hangs from the rafters. On that banner is the Defiance logo with Stephen Greer on one side and Johnny Lightning on the other. The crowd immediately boos.]
Narrator - Tonight... Stephen Greer and Johnny Lightning defend the WWA Tag Team Championships.
[The shot changes to show a giant banner with the WMW logo on it hanging in the rafters on the other side of the arena. On one side is Valora. On the other is Umbrage. The crowd pops thunderously.]
Narrator - Tonight... Valora Salinas and Umbrage: The Hardcore Icons. Go one on one against the best the WWA has to offer.
[The arena goes black, to show a single spotlight back in the center of the ring shining brightly on the WMW logo.]
Narrator - Tonight... the WWA Tag Team Championships... come home.
[At that the crowd erupts as the shot fades to black. This begins the opening video sequence for WMW Graveyard Shift.]
Graveyard Shift 110 - February 25th, 2010 - WMW Arena in Cleveland, Ohio
Opening Commentary
Jack Gene - Hello and welcome to WMW Graveyard Shift 110! And, we're all set to bring you another edition of Graveyard Shift, live from WMW Arena in Cleveland, Ohio! And, Bill... I've said it before, I'll say it again. Huge show tonight.
Bill Hughes - I normally don't believe you, but tonight, no doubt. Probably the biggest show in 2010 thus far.
Jack Gene - It's the night we've all been waiting all month for. The reigning WWA Tag Team Champions, Stephen Greer and Johnny Lightning from Defiance are here. They are Team Danger* and they will defend the WWA Tag Team Championships against our very own Hardcore Icons. The Hall of Famer Umbrage and his partner, the Great Lakes Champion, Valora Salinas. This will be a match for the ages. But before that, Bill. MTL3 continues.
Bill Hughes - It sure does, Jack. Two matches, and it should definitely be interesting to see what happens with these two.
Jack Gene - That's right, Bill. First of all, we've got The Misfit Ninjas getting a bit of TV time as they go up against Adam Pyre and AWS Man. Both need a win to even be considered in the running for MTL3, but I think it's pretty clear that this is a must win for TDA. A loss tonight, and they'll be going into match 4 of the tournament without a win. Then, on the flipside, we've got The Celestial Avatars taking on the Zepples. Hecate and Jade hope to continue on their path to the finals of MTL3, but the Zepples are no push overs.
Bill Hughes - And consider how big of a thrill it would be for the Zombie Killin' Twins to pick up a win against two Champions here tonight.
Jack Gene - Definitely, both have their night cut out for them. But, another big match tonight is another confrontation between Wone and the Analog Kid.
Bill Hughes - Hopefully the last one.
Jack Gene - Well, you're right. This is their 3rd time competing against one another in less than 2 months. And Wone has already beaten Storm Rider twice. But, the Kid requested the match and it was granted. However, we just got word that WMW General Manager Sault St. Marie added a stipulation to the match. That it won't just be Wone and Analog Kid, but it'll be a tag team match.
Bill Hughes - In the MTL?
Jack Gene - No, not for the MTL. But, here's the catch. Wone won't be choosing his partner. He'll be choosing Analog Kid's, and the Analog Kid will choose Wone's partner.
Bill Hughes - Whoa. You mean to tell me that the Analog Kid will basically get to decide who Wone teams up with?
Jack Gene - Yeah... I literally just said that.
Bill Hughes - You better hope you don't get chosen.
Jack Gene - Well, I don't... I don't think that I would get chosen. I'm pretty sure it's attached to only the wrestling staff here. Not regular staff.
Bill Hughes - Now that I think about it, I do hope you get chosen. That would be awesome.
Resolution?
[Just then... The PA blasts a loud and heavy drum solo as "Kill You" by Dethklok starts up.]
Jack Gene - No, Bill. That would not be awesome. But, speaking of awesome. It sounds like we're going to be treated to "That Damn Awesome!"
[The lights on the stage flicker and blink as finally, the solo ends, and the tempo kicks in. The lights continue to flicker with the rhythm as "Kill You" continues to play. Finally, as Pickles the Drummer begins to sing the lyrics over the PA system, Adam Pyre bursts through the curtain, a huge grin on his face. Pyre walks out to one side of the stage, yelling and gesturing at the fans to "get on their f**king feet". He runs to the other side of the stage and spit comes flying out of his mouth as he repeats his ritual. Finally, he marches down the ramp and high-fives a few fans, then slides into the ring, running up onto a turnbuckle and pumping the fans up even more. As he steps off the turnbuckle he's handed a mic.]
Adam Pyre - Alright my little freak puppies... simmer down simmer down... Now I know that I seem a bit jovial, but I am certainly not. That's why tonight I'm not going to sit here and try to make some in-jokes that only a fourth of you will actually understand, and I'm not going to bring down any clowns or barking seals or lions jumping through hoops. My car was messed up to near destruction last week, and I'm not leaving until the person responsible marches down here and looks me in the eye, begging my absolute forgiveness before I completely obliterate their entire life. So come on down Hec-U-Tee... you're the next contestant on get your ass whooped by the King of Freaks!
["Wytches" by Inkubus Sukkubus suddenly explodes through the audio system as Hecate steps out of the back, with a microphone in one hand and her scepter in the other hand. The Heartlands champion pauses and looks up at the ring and Adam Pyre, her face unreadable behind her face paint.]
Hecate - Adam "The Failure" Pyre, seems I struck a nerve with you last week. You wondered awhile back whether I was going to get you back for drugging me at Graveyard Shift 101 and allowing your plan to force Valora into Those Dumb Assholes to succeed.
[Hecate smirks as she starts to walk down to the ring, the fans booing Pyre at the reminder of what happened at Graveyard Shift 101 while a few reach over the barricades to clasp Hecate's arms and hands as she passes them. Hecate stops about half way to the ring.]
Hecate - Did I answer your question last week Pyre? I was simply returning your little present to you, but your car seemed to have other ideas so I had to teach it a lesson as well. But then you had to take it one step further, I got you so enraged...so furious at what I did to your precious piece of [bleep] Killswitch that you called in back-up and came down to interfere in my match last week.
[Hecate shakes her head as the crowd boos some more as a replay of what happened at the end of the Hecate vs Keyser match from last week plays on the videotron, the Heartland champion continuing down until she's at ringside.]
Hecate - Now I bet you are wondering just what I will do to get back at you this week. Will I get involved in your match or will I have something else devious in mind for you.
Adam Pyre - Whoa whoa whoa lady, back up a step. First of all Killswitch is no piece of s**t car. Killswitch was a gift from the gods. Maybe not the gods you like to pretend you hear in your head, but from the gods nonetheless. And you desecrated that gift. You done messed up Hec-U-Tee, and franky, I don't care what you do. Go ahead and interfere in my match. Go ahead and drop a bunch of zombie strippers from the rafters on me. Hit me with a train, shove a nuke up my ass, thrust your hand into my chest and rip out my still beating heart while Inkster says FATALITY over the PA system. But whatever you do, you better hope it kills me, because I'm tired of this tit for tat game, and the first chance I get I'm going to kick your head clean off your body!
[The STO theme plays suddenly as Sault St. Marie comes out of the back, standing at the entryway with a microphone in hand.]
Sault St. Marie - You know, ...I get it. You guys have some issues. But, this back and forth... thing. It's got to stop. So, you want to resolve it? Then we can resolve it. And we will resolve it in the ring. At Ides of March it will be Adam Pyre taking on Hecate for the Heartlands Championship.
Kronin - What do you want.
[Lilly takes notice and immediately steps forward in front of Kronin, her unoccupied hand pressing him back as she stares daggers off camera.]
Lilly - You better get out of here, we don't have anything to say to you!
[The camera pans right and we see Ryven standing in a plain black t-shirt and khakis, holding a manila envelope. The crowd begins a raucous round of booing.]
Ryven - I realize you're upset.
[Lilly charges forward, her hand darting forward with a finger extended towards Ryven's face.]
Lilly - You have no idea-
[Kronin remains silent as he calmly pulls Lilly back.]
Ryven - Nothing I say right now is going to change anything. So I'll just come right out and say it. I need a favor.
[Lilly barks out a sardonic laugh and rolls her eyes, stepping away from the pair and looking towards the ceiling. Kronin smirks and shakes his head, placing his hands on his hips.]
Ryven - This is for you.
[He passes the worn envelope to Kronin, who hesitantly takes it. Ryven waits a moment for a response, but Kronin remains quiet, his eyes steady and measured.]
Ryven - I need you to do me a favor and do not open that until after Graveyard Shift one-twelve. Two weeks. It's important.
Lilly - Two weeks? Why the wait if it's that important?
Ryven - Because the importance is the timing, not what's inside. I know you don't have an ounce of humanity left that would allow you to trust me, but I'm asking for it anyway. I also know you think I've just lived up to my nature and betrayed you, but things are different. Just....they're different. And what's in there will prove it.
Lilly - And why are we supposed to believe that? Why is this time different?
[Ryven takes a deep breath and takes a step back, giving Lilly and Kronin some space. He looks away in thought before turning to leave.]
Ryven - Two weeks, okay? Just give me that.
[He exits the locker room. Lilly turns back to Kronin who is still holding the envelope, fixing his collar and brushing off his shoulders in an effort to calm him down. Kronin continues to stare off where Ryven left, before lifting up the envelope and violently tearing it open.]
Lilly - But he said-
Kronin - I know what he said.
[Kronin looks inside the envelope and his expression melts from anger to confusion. Lilly reaches in and pulls out a small plastic case with a disc enclosed.]
Lilly - What do you think is on it?
Kronin - Come on. We're going to find out.
[The camera fades.]
[The shot opens back up at ringside.]
Adam Pyre - Alright my little freak puppies... simmer down simmer down... Now I know that I seem a bit jovial, but I am certainly not. That's why tonight I'm not going to sit here and try to make some in-jokes that only a fourth of you will actually understand, and I'm not going to bring down any clowns or barking seals or lions jumping through hoops.

[The crowd pops.]
Sault St. Marie - And, since all this started over Valora and the Graveyard Shift 101 match, then we're going to end it that way. Same stipulations: If Hecate loses, not only does she lose the Heartlands title, but she must join That Damn Awesome!
[The crowd boos.]
Sault St. Marie - But, if Hecate wins, Valora will be released from her responsibilities within TDA.
[The crowd cheers.]
Sault St. Marie - To make things even more interesting, since this is all about Valora at the root, I am naming Valora the special guest referee for that match. It goes against my better judgement, but I'll take a step back from naming the rules for this contest. Instead, I'll give Valora some booking abilities. It's her one and only chance. Because, this match... Valora will decide just how the two of you will compete at Ides of March 2010.
[Hecate looks back at Sault St. Marie and then up at Adam Pyre in the ring, her eyes widening for a moment before narrowing as a grin forms on her waist, motioning to Pyre how he's going down. Pyre's eyes widen as his signature smirk spreads across his face. He nods his head slowly and licks his teeth.]
[Sault St. Marie turns to walk into the back then pauses and with an evil smirk on his face turns back to Hecate and Adam Pyre.]
Sault St. Marie - I almost forgot, if either of you interfere with the other between now and Ides of March, then you will automatically lose the match. Have a nice day.
[Sault St. Marie heads to the back as Hecate grins at Adam Pyre and starts to walk back up the ramp.]
Hecate - See you at Ides of March Pyre.
[Hecate drops the microphone and continues to walk to the back as the the crowd cheers.]

Hecate - See you at Ides of March Pyre.
[Hecate drops the microphone and continues to walk to the back as the the crowd cheers.]
Jack Gene - And once again, Sault St. Marie putting his foot down with Hecate. I have a feeling this is will not end good, but that's neither here or now. Both Adam Pyre and Hecate have matches tonight that they'll have to be worried about, as both The Celestial Avatars and TDA continue in MTL3 competition. Right now, though, as Wayne Inkster climbs into the ring, that can only mean one thing.
Bill Hughes - He lost his contact?
Jack Gene - ...he doesn't wear contacts, Bill. He wears glasses.
Bill Hughes - Oh, right.
Jack Gene - No, it's time for our opening contest as Matrix competes against a newcomer, Charles Locke.
[The scene changes to in-ring where Wayne Inkster stands.]
Matrix vs. Charles Locke
Written by: Matrix
[Before Wayne can speak, the lights in the arena dim as a guitar solo begins. The big screen shows a 'Countdown to Cyber Jump' starting from 5 and moving downwards. Once it gets to 0, the chorus to "With Arms Wide Open" by Creed begins.]
Wayne Inkster - The following contest is scheduled for one fall. On his way to the ring, hailing from Tampa, Florida and standing at 6 foot 3 and 250 pounds...Scotty Kames, the Matrix!
[The lights flash blue and white as Matrix walks out wearing a black trenchcoat, sneakers and gloves. He heads down to the ring without much glamor or drama. He rolls in under the bottom rope and then jumps up.]
Jack Gene - Matrix is, of course, a WMW Hall of Famer, trying once again to make a comeback here in WMW.
Bill Hughes - I almost feel bad for the newbies that are put against him, to be honest. It's not even fair. I mean, who can contend with a man such as Scotty Kames?
Jack Gene - You have some serious emotional demons you need to deal with, Bill.
["School" by Nirvana blasts through the sound system as a suited man appears from the curtain - a man quickly recognized by the crowd as Charles Locke. He walks slowly towards the ring, brief-case in hand, while ignoring the mixture of boo's and cheer's from the fans around him. Climbing up the ring steps, Charles quickly ducks between the top and middle ropes to enter the ring.]
Wayne Inkster - And his opponent, from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada...he stands at 5'10" and 220 pounds, he is..."The Solipsist" Charles Locke!
Bill Hughes - Is that guy wearing a suit? A business suit? In the wrestling ring?
[As Charles places himself in the ring, he quickly begins to take off his blazer and roll up the sleeves of his pin-striped white dress shirt. His briefcase is placed in his turnbuckle - within reach - as he begins to eye the Matrix.]
Jack Gene - On paper, the advantage is obviously going to go to the Matrix, who has the experience factor working for him. But on the other hand, Matrix has no idea what to expect from Charles Locke, which might work against him.
[Referee Stephen Tyler calls for the bell and the duo in the ring begin to face off. They circle around the center before locking up in a standing grapple. Locke gets the upper hand and irish whips Matrix across the ring into the ropes. When he returns from the ropes, he eats a dropkick that sends him to the ground. Matrix recovers quickly, but Charles Locke has already bounced off of the ropes himself and delivers a bulldog from behind the WMW Veteran. Before Matrix can get up, Locke drops his elbow onto the back of the head.]
Bill Hughes - This is probably the worst possible match-up for Matrix right now.
Jack Gene - He'd much rather be up on his feet, but Charles Locke is going to keep it on the ground, where he excels.
[Charles Locke knocks Matrix down again, and finally a third time via a hard kick to the man's face. He moves from the body of his opponent, off the ropes, and then hits a perfect running leg drop. Following the kick-em-while-he's-down moves, Locke goes a pin and only gets two.]
Bill Hughes - That was almost the quickest loss in Matrix's WMW history!
[Matrix finally gets up on his feet, but Charles Locke is already up as well, apparently screaming angrily at the fans. Taking advantage of the confusion, Trix allows Locke to rant for a few more moments at the booing fans, and then leaps at him. Charles Locke spins around just in time to eat a hard spear, causing a big fan reaction.]
Jack Gene - And Matrix is back in this!
[With both back up on their feet and Matrix in control, the bout moves into the corner. Matrix lands some punches against the top of Locke's head, and then uses his pin-stripe suit to whip into the opposite corner. Locke hits the turnbuckle hard, just in time to take a flying shoulder tackle which slams him further back into the hard corner. Locke hits the ground on his side, where Matrix drops an elbow on him and causes him to roll outside. Matrix remains inside. Charles Locke slides back in and the two face off again.]
Bill Hughes - Not the most exciting match so far.
Jack Gene - I'd say it's been a lot about sizing each other up to see what they can get away with.
[This time when the two lock up, Matrix gets Locke in a headlock, only for a suplex reversal to flip him over the submission specialists head. Matrix hits the ground and recovers quickly, ducking a clothesline attempt and answering it with a dropkick. The crowd becomes more vocal as the pace quickens. Matrix tries a standing elbow drop, only for Locke to roll out of the way, and then capitalize on Matrix while he's down. Scotty Kames finds himself on the receiving end of a sleeper hold, with Locke on his back, choking him out and keeping his arms at bay.]
Bill Hughes - Charles Locke has the sleeper hold locked in!
[Matrix finds himself struggling for the ropes. He climbs up to his feet but Charles Locke remains behind him, choking the life out of him. Trix falls to one knee, reaching out for the rope, moving towards it step by step. The Solipsist keeps him in place as best as he can, finding himself over-powered by the bigger man. With size on his side, Trix lunges forward and hits the rope, allowing referee Stephen Tyler to break up the hold]
Jack Gene - Matrix lives to fight another day. He's not bigger then a lot of people, but in this case his strength came in handy.
[The Matrix stops Charles Locke's tackle attempt with his shoulder, followed by a hard punch to the top of his head. After two more strikes, he kicks Locke in the gut and moves for a DDT. Locke lifts him up in a reversal attempt, but Matrix lands on his feet behind Locke. Once The Solipsist turns around, Trix lifts him up and then slams him back down into a spinebuster. With the momentum on his side, Trix goes a pinfall.
Jack Gene - This one is about to be over! 1, 2, and no! Locke kicks out!
[Both men take a few moments to catch their breath. Matrix is up first and takes control by whipping Locke across the ring. Charles Locke ducks a clothesline attempt and catches Matrix in a reverse-DDT position. Before being able to drop, Trix spins around and manages to get up. Once Locke runs at him, Matrix lets him bounce off the ropes. He runs to the adjacent ropes and catches him in a running neck-breaker, laying the Solipsist out. Trix gets up quickly, and moves to the turnbuckle]
Jack Gene - Matrix is looking to finish this up right here!
Bill Hughes - He's either a genius or a moron. We're about to find out.
[Matrix stands on the top rope with Charles Locke on the mat...]
Wayne Inkster - The following contest is scheduled for one fall. On his way to the ring, hailing from Tampa, Florida and standing at 6 foot 3 and 250 pounds...Scotty Kames, the Matrix!

[Matrix stands on the top rope with Charles Locke on the mat...]
Jack Gene - And here he comes...
[Just then, Matrix jumps and hits a Shooting Star Press.]
Jack Gene - Touch of Reality! Touch of Reality! That's got to be it! Here's the pin! ...1! ...2! ...3! It's over!
["With Arms Wide Open" by Creed blasts from the PA as Matrix celebrates in the ring.]
Jack Gene - And Matrix picks up another win here on Graveyard Shift! Stay tuned, MTL3 continues coming up next.
[The scene fades.]
The Tag Champs trade words.
[The camera fades up to show Kronin backstage in a locker room, thumbing through a few things. The arena instantly explodes into a chorus of cheers. Lilly stands next to him, leaning against a door, thumbs and eyes devoted to her phone. Kronin pauses and looks up, his face deforming from relaxed into a scowl as he stands.]Kronin - What do you want.
[Lilly takes notice and immediately steps forward in front of Kronin, her unoccupied hand pressing him back as she stares daggers off camera.]
Lilly - You better get out of here, we don't have anything to say to you!
[The camera pans right and we see Ryven standing in a plain black t-shirt and khakis, holding a manila envelope. The crowd begins a raucous round of booing.]
Ryven - I realize you're upset.
[Lilly charges forward, her hand darting forward with a finger extended towards Ryven's face.]
Lilly - You have no idea-
[Kronin remains silent as he calmly pulls Lilly back.]
Ryven - Nothing I say right now is going to change anything. So I'll just come right out and say it. I need a favor.
[Lilly barks out a sardonic laugh and rolls her eyes, stepping away from the pair and looking towards the ceiling. Kronin smirks and shakes his head, placing his hands on his hips.]
Ryven - This is for you.
[He passes the worn envelope to Kronin, who hesitantly takes it. Ryven waits a moment for a response, but Kronin remains quiet, his eyes steady and measured.]
Ryven - I need you to do me a favor and do not open that until after Graveyard Shift one-twelve. Two weeks. It's important.
Lilly - Two weeks? Why the wait if it's that important?
Ryven - Because the importance is the timing, not what's inside. I know you don't have an ounce of humanity left that would allow you to trust me, but I'm asking for it anyway. I also know you think I've just lived up to my nature and betrayed you, but things are different. Just....they're different. And what's in there will prove it.
Lilly - And why are we supposed to believe that? Why is this time different?
[Ryven takes a deep breath and takes a step back, giving Lilly and Kronin some space. He looks away in thought before turning to leave.]
Ryven - Two weeks, okay? Just give me that.
[He exits the locker room. Lilly turns back to Kronin who is still holding the envelope, fixing his collar and brushing off his shoulders in an effort to calm him down. Kronin continues to stare off where Ryven left, before lifting up the envelope and violently tearing it open.]
Lilly - But he said-
Kronin - I know what he said.
[Kronin looks inside the envelope and his expression melts from anger to confusion. Lilly reaches in and pulls out a small plastic case with a disc enclosed.]
Lilly - What do you think is on it?
Kronin - Come on. We're going to find out.
[The camera fades.]
Wone vs. The Analog Kid
Written by: Jordan Keyser
[The shot opens back up at ringside.]
Jack Gene - And welcome back everyone to Wrestling Midwest Graveyard Shift 110! Next up, yet another of our highly anticipated matches for this evening!
[Wone pulls up El Oso. He whips him into the ropes. As El Oso bounces back, Wone goes for a clothesline. El Oso had the same idea and they collide in the center of the ring, taking each other down with a double clothesline. Outside the ring, Stormrider starts digging through his saddle bag.]
Bill Hughes - Really? Who in their right mind is anticipating this match?
Jack Gene - The fans, Bill.
Bill Hughes (snorting) - Pfft, not likely. We've seen these two, what, twice now? And I don't think I'm alone in saying it was twice too many.
Bill Hughes (snorting) - Pfft, not likely. We've seen these two, what, twice now? And I don't think I'm alone in saying it was twice too many.
Jack Gene - You don't think these two are talented wrestlers?
Bill Hughes - Oh no, I think Wone is very talented. It's Land Rover that I'm...
Jack Gene - Bill, it's Stormrider.
Bill Hughes - And that's even worse!
Jack Gene - Whatever. Let's turn it to Wayne.
Bill Hughes - Oh no, I think Wone is very talented. It's Land Rover that I'm...
Jack Gene - Bill, it's Stormrider.
Bill Hughes - And that's even worse!
Jack Gene - Whatever. Let's turn it to Wayne.
Bill Hughes - Hey, you better get ready, Jack. I'm almost positive that the Kid chose you to be Wone's partner.
Jack Gene - ...really?
[Jack looks towards the ring with a concerned look on his face.]
Bill Hughes - Yeah. You should just head down now. I'm going to get a hot dog.
Jack Gene - What? Hey! Get ba-...oh forget it. These two have decided to make this a tag match, with each one choosing the other's partner. Wayne?
[Down in the ring, Wayne Inkster prepares his introductions.]
Wayne Inkster - This next match is a tag match scheduled for one fall under regular WMW rules. Introducing first...
["Mother" by Danzig blasts from the PA as The Analog Kid appears at the top of the ramp. He's clad in black work boots, faded blue jeans, black tee shirt under faded blue unbuttoned over shirt, black "quickdraw-style" glove on his right hand, saddlebag over the left shoulder and wide-brimmed black hat and black leather duster, analog emerges from the back.]
Wayne Inkster - Hailing from Hamilton, Ontario Canada, weighing in at 206lbs, accompanied to the ring by El Oso del Icioso, he is... StormRider... THE ANALOG KID!
[With his head down, he walks with purposeful stride to the ring. He climbs the ring stairs and comes in between the middle and top ropes, then walks over to his corner. He climbs to the middle turnbuckle and raises his head, unleashing the intensity in this pale blue eyes. El Oso stands outside the ring on the apron. ]
Wayne Inkster - And his opponent...
["Our Truth" by Lacuna Coil begins to play over the speakers. As the lead singer begins to wail Wone steps through the curtain and stands at the top of the entrance.]
Wayne Inkster - Coming from Purgatory Maine, standing 6'2 and tipping the scales at 226 lbs, accompanied to the ring by Jerry "the Clown", he is...WONE!
Bill Hughes - Yeah. You should just head down now. I'm going to get a hot dog.
Jack Gene - What? Hey! Get ba-...oh forget it. These two have decided to make this a tag match, with each one choosing the other's partner. Wayne?

Wayne Inkster - Coming from Purgatory Maine, standing 6'2 and tipping the scales at 226 lbs, accompanied to the ring by Jerry "the Clown", he is...WONE!
Jack Gene - Oh god. Jerry "The Clown"?
[A cheer goes up for Wone. His black, matted hair covers his white painted face as he stares down at this feet. After a few seconds he looks up and focuses on the ring as he walks deliberately towards it. He pays no attention the fans or their reactions. Not far behind Wone is Jerry "The Clown".]

Jack Gene - I'm pretty certain that is the same clown that has been harassing Hecate for the last few weeks.
[Wone reaches the ring apron and leaps up on to it grabbing the top rope with both hands. Finally he gazes out over the crowd before leaping over the top rope and in to the ring. Stormrider watches him silently as Wone walks to his corner. Jerry the Clown, like El Oso, stands just outside on the apron.]
Jack Gene - Well, my partner is still missing, so it looks like its just me, to start. With the addition of El Oso and Jerry the Clown, this match should be...well...interesting, to say the least.
[Stormrider stands staring at Wone for a moment, then turns and climbs out of the ring. He motions for El Oso to get in. The Mexican high flyer climbs through the ropes and faces Wone, and the referee calls for the bell.]
Jack Gene - Here we go!
[The two lock up in the center of the ring, and Wone immediately gets the upper hand. He whips El Oso into the corner, and as the smaller man bounces back, Wone levels him with a clothesline. El Oso immediately bounces back up and locks up with Wone again. This time, Wone gets the upper hand and whips him violently into the turnbuckle. El Oso bounces off and falls to his knees. Wone walks over, lifts him up, and hits him with a series of knife edge chops to the chest. The crowd counts along with the chops.]
Crowd - ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN!
[El Oso is backed completely into the turnbuckle, and Wone grabs him and whips him into the other corner. El Oso hits hard, but manages to stay on his feet. Its only momentarily, because Wone follows the whip almost immediately, diving shoulder first into El Oso's throat. El Oso goes down.]
Jack Gene - Wone taking command here at the beginning!
[Wone stands back, waiting for El Oso to get up. The Luchadore gets to his feet, and Wone points to Stormrider, telling El Oso to tag him in. El Oso looks to his corner uncertainly, but Stormrider just smiles a slow smile and nods. He holds his hand out for the tag.]
Jack Gene - Wone demanding that El Oso tag the Analog Kid in, and the Kid is more than willing.
[El Oso walks over and tags Stormrider's hand, and the Kid climbs into the ring, looking at Wone with a slow smile on his face. He walks up, getting nose to nose with Wone.]
Bill Hughes (talking with his mouth full) - Aww, are they having a romantic moment?
Jack Gene - Wha! Oh...If you wanted to know what is going on, you shouldn't have left.
Bill Hughes - Well! If I'd known you were going to be cranky, I wouldn't have bought you a hot dog.
Jack Gene - Wait, you bought me a hot dog?
Bill Hughes - No. I bought myself two.
[Wone stares back at the Kid, then shoves him hard. The Kid staggers back, then rushes Wone and drives him back and down onto the mat. The Kid jumps up and hits Wone with a vicious kick to the mid section, then drops an elbow on the former WMW title holder. The Kid jumps back up, looking for another elbow, but Wone rolls away and gets to his feet. The two lock up in the middle of the ring, and this time its Stormrider that gets the upper hand. He turns and hits Wone with a snap mare, then jumps back and kicks him hard in the back of the head. ]
Jack Gene - Stormrider is wrestling tonight like he has something to prove!
Bill Hughes - And I’m beginning to think this might actually be a good match.
[Stormrider lifts Wone by his hair, but before he has a chance to do anything, Wone knees him in the stomach, then takes him down hard with a Russian leg sweep. Wone goes for the cover.]
Jack Gene - Wone for the cover! 1..2 kickout! Wone tries the first pin but Analog kicks out.
Bill Hughes - Damn, I thought that would be it.
[Wone climbs to his feet and walks towards the Kid, but Analog rolls over and kicks Wone in the knee. Wone drops to his other knee, holding the one the Kid just kicked. Stormrider gets to his feet, bounces off the ropes and hits a shining wizard on Wone. Stormrider rolls Wone over and goes for the pin, but Wone throws him off and lunges to tag in Jerry the Clown.]
Bill Hughes - HAHA! Now its time for the best part of the match!
[Jerry jumps into the ring, but before the Kid can do anything, Jerry produces a bouquet of flowers. Stormrider just stares at him, then slaps the flowers away. Jerry turns to the crowd, a dramatic frown on his face, drawing an “awww” from the crowd. The Kid looks a little bewildered.]
Jack Gene - I wonder what this is all about.
Bill Hughes - Apparently the Kid doesn’t like flowers. Maybe he’s allergic or something.
[The Kid leans forward to yell something at Jerry, but Jerry hits him with a slap to the face that leaves the Kid’s cheek red. As Stormrider rubs his cheek, Jerry jumps and claps his hands and the crowd goes nuts. Loving the crowd’s reaction, Jerry slaps Analog again, giggling like mad when the crowd explodes.]
Jack Gene - I don’t think Analog is gonna take much more of that...
[Jerry goes to slap Stormrider again, but the Kid catches his hand, spins him, and hits our clown friend with a rolling german suplex. Stormrider gets to his feet and begins to stomp on Jerry.]
Jack Gene - And Stormrider is taking out all his anger on Jerry!
Bill Hughes - What a mother canucker.
Jack Gene - A what?
Bill Hughes - Never mind, Jack. I’ll explain it when you’re older.
[Stormrider lifts Jerry up and whips him against the ropes, then nearly takes his head off with a standing drop kick. Stormrider goes for the pin.]
Jack Gene - Pin by Stormrider! 1..2..kickout!
[Stormrider can’t believe it, and he lifts Jerry again and whips him into the corner. Jerry drops, and Stormrider runs and slides, kicking him in the face. The Kid goes to his corner and tags in his partner. El Oso moves to the corner where Jerry is laying and rolls him over, then climbs to the top of the turnbuckle and leaps off, dropping an elbow on the Clown.]
Jack Gene - And Jerry is absolutely taking a beating. I can’t believe he kicked out the last time.
[El Oso climbs to the top turnbuckle again, then jumps off in a Leap of Faith. Jerry rolls out of the way as El Oso slams to the mat. Staggering up, Jerry tags in Wone.]
Jack Gene - And Wone is back in this match!
Jack Gene - Well, my partner is still missing, so it looks like its just me, to start. With the addition of El Oso and Jerry the Clown, this match should be...well...interesting, to say the least.
[Stormrider stands staring at Wone for a moment, then turns and climbs out of the ring. He motions for El Oso to get in. The Mexican high flyer climbs through the ropes and faces Wone, and the referee calls for the bell.]

[El Oso climbs to the top turnbuckle again, then jumps off in a Leap of Faith. Jerry rolls out of the way as El Oso slams to the mat. Staggering up, Jerry tags in Wone.]
Jack Gene - And Wone is back in this match!
[Wone pulls up El Oso. He whips him into the ropes. As El Oso bounces back, Wone goes for a clothesline. El Oso had the same idea and they collide in the center of the ring, taking each other down with a double clothesline. Outside the ring, Stormrider starts digging through his saddle bag.]
Jack Gene - OH! And a double clothesline! Both men are down! Looks like Stormrider is looking for something in that bag of his. And here comes to ref with the count. (...1!)
Bill Hughes - Well, ...Wone tried to quickly get this match over, and instead lobbed one up for himself. (...2!) Unfortunately for him, Jack, (...3!) El Oso had the exact same idea. Which is incredible, (...4!) because I thought he only spoke Spanish. (...5!)
Jack Gene - What does that have to do with anything? (...6!)
Bill Hughes - Because, dude. (...7!) If he and Wone were thinking the same idea, then they were obviously speaking English. I mean... come on, Jack. (...8!) That's obvious.
Jack Gene - Well... both men are to their knees and back up to their feet.
[Just then, Stormrider pulls a baseball bat out of the bag. He walks back to the ring, and places the bat on the ring steps as he climbs up to reach for a tag.]
Jack Gene - Hey! He's got a bat!
Bill Hughes - Well, he did have a bat. It's on the steps now.
Jack Gene - What?? Regardless... El Oso reaching to tag in the Kid. And Wone reaching to tag in The Clown. And the tag was made. Here they come, oh wait!
[Just then, the Kid takes El Oso and whips him across the ring. He collides with Wone, pushing Wone to the outside. El Oso falls backwards, as if knocked out.]
Jack Gene - My god! The Kid just used his partner as a weapon, whipping him across the ring and... I think they hit heads.
[The ref checks on El Oso, who isn't moving. The clown looks down at him, trying to get a smile from him. Just then, Stormrider grabs the bat and brings it into the ring. He walks up to the clown and pulls him away from the ref. As he does, he reels back and slams the head of the bat into Jerry's midsection. Jerry falls down.]
Jack Gene - My god! The bat! He just used the bat on Jerry!
Bill Hughes - Back, back, back, back, back... gone!
Jack Gene - How can you even make jokes about this? Stormrider slides the bat out of the ring, and... he's making the pin here. Here's the count! This isn't even fair. ...1! ...2! ...3!
["Mother" by Danzig blasts from the PA. Just then, Wone slides into the ring, holding his mouth, which is covered in blood. He consoles El Oso, before going to argue with the ref.]
Jack Gene - Oh, and Wone is just opened up. His mouth covered in blood. He can't believe that the match just ended like that. I can't believe the match ended like that.
[Just then, StormRider walks up to Wone and hits him with a low blow.]
Jack Gene - Oh! My god! Low blow!
Bill Hughes - I felt that one up here! Owwwwww.
[Before Wone can fall... the Kid turns him around and hits him with a snap DDT.]
Jack Gene - Oooh! Geez!
[Security and refs pour into the arena from the back. StormRider pays them no attention as he lays boot after boot into Wone's back.
Jack Gene - Come on, security! Stop this!
Bill Hughes - I don't think Stormy really cares.
[Security and refs swarm Analog, pulling him away from Wone and out of the ring.]
Jack Gene - This was uncalled for!
Bill Hughes - Well, Analog did say he was going to clear him out before he retires.
Jack Gene - Yeah, but this was just too much!
[Analog raises his hands in the air as he walks up the ramp. He smiles to the crowd as they shower him with a chorus of boos and Styrofoam cups and hot dog wrappers. He grins and points up at Wone, who is now being consoled by the ref. A trainer runs down and slides into the ring for assistance.]
Jack Gene - This is totally uncalled for, Bill.
[Analog cocks his thumbs back and shoots his finger guns.)
Jack Gene - Totally too much!
[The scene fades.]
Party Invitation
Written by: Matrix
[The camera fades in to show the Matrix walking calmly down one of the corridors backstage, holding an envelope.]
Bill Hughes - Hey, look! It's Scotty 'Theodore' Kames!
Jack Gene - I thought you said it was...
Bill Hughes - Quiet, I'm trying to see the Matrix in all his glory!
[Before it could be noted that Matrix was only walking, he stops one of the techies wearing a WMW shirt and a headset.]
Matrix - Hey, where's Umbrage's locker room?
Techie - Uh...down that hall, second - no, third - room on the right.
[The crowd seems to give a slight cheer in the background at the mention of Umbrage. Trix nods and heads down the hall designated. He passes various locker rooms and then stops at the one labelled 'UMBRAGE.']
Jack Gene - We might see some backstage action, before both of these men fight later!
Bill Hughes - I don't think either of them would look to mess themselves up before a match.
[Matrix pulls out a small card from the envelope and then places it against the locker room door. He pulls out some tape from his pocket and proceeds to tape the card against the door.]
Jack Gene - What is he...is he leaving a letter?
[Trix disappears off-screen with a grin on his face. The camera focuses on the card taped to the door.]
Jack Gene - What does it say?
Bill Hughes - Can't you read? It's a party invite! That's bull[bleep]! Where's my party invitation, Matrix?!
Jack Gene - I don't think you want in this party, Bill...
[The card, which is dotted with flowers and martini glasses, reads:
Who: Umbrage and Matrix
What: Cage Match
When: March 11, 2010
Where: Ides of March 2010
Why: You Owe Me.
RSVP ASAP.]
Bill Hughes - Oh...
Jack Gene - How is Umbrage going to respond?
Bill Hughes - I think that's pretty [bleep]ing obvious.
[The crowd lets out a big cheer as the camera fades away]
Bill Hughes - Hey, look! It's Scotty 'Theodore' Kames!
Jack Gene - I thought you said it was...
Bill Hughes - Quiet, I'm trying to see the Matrix in all his glory!

AWS Man & Adam Pyre vs. The Misfit Ninjas
Written by: Adam Pyre
[“3.14″ by The Bloodhound Gang blasts from the PA as AWS Man makes his way down to the ring with Adam Pyre in tow.]
Wayne Inkster - The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is a Midwest Tag League match, introducing first at a combined weight of Four Hundred Fifty Eight pounds, The team of Adam Pyre and AWS Man (also known as Bill), THAT... DAMN... AWESOME!!!
[A select few of the more smarky fans announce the team name along with Inkster. Pyre shucks and Jives down the ramp, singing along to AWS's music and aggressively strumming his air guitar. AWS simply looks back, whispers something to Pen, and shakes his head. Pyre slides under the ropes as AWS climbs up to the apron and steps through the ropes.]
Jack Gene - Well this should definitely be an interesting match to say the least. We've got the brand new team of the Misfit Ninja Clan going head to head against two of the most bizarre members of That Damn Awesome.
Bill Hughes - It's Awesome! Jack, how many times do I have to tell you. It's like The Miz, only a billion times better.
Jack Gene - Right, How could I forget that...
["Strike of the Ninja" by Dragonforce plays as Pirate Ninja and Irish Ninja run out onto the stage. Irish Ninja raises up a mug of beer, and Pirate Ninja does a standing backflip, landing perfectly on his feet. Hollywood Ninja saunters out, at first doing the "raise the roof" motion, and then doing the Hulk Hogan "flex with one arm and keep the other straight" pose.]
Wayne Inkster - And introducing their opponents, at a combined weight of Four Hundred Nineteen pounds, the team of Pirate Ninja and Irish Ninja, The MISFIT NINJA CLAAAAAN!!!!
[The three ninjas then walk down the ramp, with Irish Ninja and Pirate Ninja high-fiving the fans on either side, while Hollywood Ninja continues to flex. The three ninjas slide under the ropes, with Irish and Pirate getting up and posing on the turnbuckles, while Hollywood does the Hogan "flex/straight" pose again.]
Jack Gene - I'm not sure what to make of these guys Bill. I happened to catch their dark match off air last week, and I must say, they have some... innovative moves.
Bill Hughes - What's there to make? They're misfits, and they're ninjas. It's a pretty simple concept Jack. I for one can't wait to see them in action, because come on, ninjas are awesome. Did you see Ninja Assassin?
Jack Gene - I can't say I have Bill.
Bill Hughes - Well you'd probably pee your pants from over-stimulation of ninjaness, but let me just say, it's awesome.
[Irish Ninja and Pyre start things off. AWS Man gives Pyre a little bit of a Mr. Woodcock 'inspirational speech' before climbing out to the apron. Irish guzzles down a few more drops of beer and then stumbles out to the middle of the ring.]
Jack Gene - Irish Ninja and Adam Pyre to start things off here.
Bill Hughes - Good to know you don't need prescriptions to see something right in front of you...
[Irish and Pyre lock up in a collar and elbow. Irish gains control with an arm drag, but Pyre is quick to his feet and gets back into the collar and elbow. Pyre delivers an arm drag now and then follows up with another when Irish gets back to his feet. Pyre holds the arm for a second and applies a bit of pressure. Irish haphazardly slaps his shoulder, but Pyre releases the hold.]
Jack Gene - Pyre showing a bit of technical prowess here.
[Pyre pulls Irish to his feet and whips him to the ropes. Pyre goes for a dropkick on the rebound, but Irish holds the top rope and Pyre just falls on his ass. AWS throws his hands up in the air from the corner. Irish capitalizes and locks in a headlock. Pyre doesn't stay in it for long though and slams Irish with a back suplex.]
Jack Gene - Irish has a little bit of weight on Pyre, that was fairly impressive.
Bill Hughes - Well Pyre better keep up the good work and not cost AWS Man (also known as Bill) another match. He wants those tag titles back around his waist, and so far all he's got there is Pyre clinging on to his coattails.
Jack Gene - I'm not sure it's exactly like that Bill.
Bill Hughes - Yes it is.
[Pyre rebounds off the ropes and dropkicks Irish in the face. He stands up and smirks, nodding his head rapidly like Chris Jericho. He tags in AWS, who gives Pyre a hard look before stepping through the ropes.]
Jack Gene - I'm not sure AWS was completely satisfied with the amount of damage Pyre inflicted to Irish. Perhaps he wasn't ready to come in the ring yet?
Bill Hughes - How dare you, AWS man (also known as Bill) is ready for anything at all times.
[AWS picks Irish off the mat and whips him hard into a neutral corner, following up with a quick clothesline. AWS begins to slap Irish around a bit.]
Bill Hughes - The Slap the Freak Around! And this early in the match. I will admit that ninjas are awesome, but nothing matches the sheer awesomeality that is AWS Man (also known as Bill).
Jack Gene - And never has a move been more aptly named.
[Irish rocks and rolls on the mat, trying to get away from AWS's vicious slaps. Finally, AWS relents and picks Irish back up. Hollywood shouts "COME ON BROTHER!!!" from ringside as AWs lifts Irish up onto his shoulders. AWS switches Irish over to his back, going for a crucifix powerbomb, but Irish slips out of it and stumbles to his corner, tagging in Pirate Ninja.]
Jack Gene - Irish slipping out the back door there, and he makes a tag to the fresh Pirate Ninja!
Bill Hughes - I only half like this guy.
Jack Gene - Why?
Bill Hughes - Because he's only half ninja.
Jack Gene - They're all only half ninjas.
Bill Hughes - Yeah but the other two have halves I can tolerate. Pirates and Ninjas were never meant to mate.
Jack Gene - Oh brother...
Bill Hughes - No, that's Hollywood Ninja.
[Pirate bolts into the ring and catches AWS with a spinning wheel kick before he can react. AWS gets back to his feet though, but Pirate rebounds off the ropes and hits a dropkick to AWS's knee, then rebounds again and hits a flipping roundhouse kick on AWS Man. With AWS on the ground, Pirate hits a standing shooting star press and goes for a cover, but only gets one.]
Bill Hughes - Jeez! That was almost a tear in the space-time continuum.
[AWS gets up, holding his face, and points menacingly at Pirate.]
AWS Man (also known as Bill) - YOU'RE TOO FAST!!!
[AWS walks over to the TDA! corner and tags in Pyre. Pyre looks a little confused, but gets in the ring. Pirate runs at him and hits a cross body from the ropes. He rebounds and tries to hit Pyre with a doublestomp, but Pyre rolls out of the way. Pyre sweeps Pirate's legs, causing him to fall to the mat. Pyre rebounds off the ropes now and goes for a doublestomp of his own, but Pirate rolls out of the way and gets to his feet. Pyre swings for a hard clothesline, but Pirate ducks, leaps back, and nails Pyre with a Pele Kick.]
Jack Gene - Pirate is really showing off his skills tonight. I don't think Pyre or AWS were prepared for his quickness.
[Pirate tags in Irish. Irish drags Pyre to a neutral corner and lays him against the bottom turnbuckle. He begins laying boots to Pyre's chest, using the top rope for leverage.]
Jack Gene - Irish Ninja showing shades of Steve Austin here. He calls his version Tapping the Keg.
Bill Hughes - Well that is just dumb. You don't tap kegs with your feet.
[Irish rolls Pyre out of the corner and begins climbing the turnbuckle. AWS is screaming at Pyre not to screw the match up as Irish reaches the top. He makes the 'drink' gesture before putting both fists to either side of his head and leaping off. Pyre rolls out of the way just in the nick of time, causing Irish to crash and burn hard.]
Jack Gene - Irish Ninja going for the Red Stripe Ram there, a variation on the Ram Jam made famous by Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler, but Pyre able to scout it.
Bill Hughes - It's about time Pyre does something right.
[Pyre starts to get to his feet and begins moving to his corner, while Irish begins to recover a bit and does the same. Hollywood is pounding the mat while Pirate reaches his hand out and wiggles his fingers vigorously. AWS, however, points back to the ninjas and barks at Pyre to get back in there. Irish manages to tag Pirate, who runs across the ring and kicks AWS off the apron. He hops to the top of the TDA! turnbuckle and hits a Top Rope Knee Driver to Pyre as he stands up fully. Pirate goes for a cover. 1... 2... and Pyre manages to get a shoulder up.]
Jack Gene - The Ninjas are looking very impressive tonight, already having gone for two covers over the veterans, That Damn Awesome.
Bill Hughes - Awesome!
Jack Gene - Whatever...
[Pirate gets Pyre to his feet and bounces him off the ropes. He goes for a flapjack to a front dropkick, but Pyre counters and slams him down hard with a jackknife powerbomb. Just then AWs tries to get back in the ring, but the ref manages to stop him. Hollywood slides in and throws a black egg into Pyre's face. Pyre tries rubbing the powder out of his eyes as Pirate stands behind him. When Pyre turns around, Pirate throws a slow motion punch into his chest. When it connects, Pyre bends back a bit, his face bulging with pain. After a moment's delay, Pyre goes flying backwards about three feet, while Irish and Hollywood fly back into the barricade, and AWS also flies off into the Barricade on his side. The ref flies forward but uses the top rope to brace himself.]
Jack Gene - Good Heavens! What I think just happened is Pirate Ninja hit Adam Pyre with the five finger death punch!
Bill Hughes - You'd better not lose this match for us, Pyre!
Jack Gene - You're not even in That Damn Awesome!
Bill Hughes - I'm president of the fan club.
[Pirate goes for a cover. 1... 2... Pyre just barely gets a shoulder up. Pirate looks stunned as he sits up, asking for a three. The ref shakes his head. Pirate goes to the top rope and sets up for a 450 splash. As Pyre gets to his feet, Hollywood grabs his ankle and holds him in his spot. The ref sees it though and calls for the bell.]
Jack Gene - Hollywood tried once too often to help his team win, and it looks like he got his hand caught in the cookie jar this time.
Bill Hughes - Wait, that means... THAT DAMN AWESOME WINS!!!
[Pirate gestures angrily at Hollywood from the top rope. Just then AWS man slides into the ring and hits Pirate with a thrust kick that causes him to fly off the turnbuckle and hit the hard floor on the outside. AWS shakes a little, yelling at Pyre to shape up.]
Bill Hughes - That's right you little half and half! You don't kick AWS Man (also known as Bill) in the face and get away with it!
[AWS continues to berate Pyre for his poor performance as they head to the back and the scene fades to commercial.
[The unknown man walks to the middle of the ring, looking face to face with Damian Knight. Damian Knight goes for the first punch, but the unknown man ducks the punch, and clocks Damian Knight with a huge right hand. Damian Knight stumbles back and the unknown man continues his assault on Damian Knight by spearing him to the ground. The unknown man begins to laying in with rights and lefts until Damian Knight seems to can't defend himself anymore.]
Jack Gene - Hecate and Jade getting a good reaction from the crowd. Both look very determined to continue on their role here in MTL3.
During the Break
[The shot opens up at ringside where Jack and Bill look at one another with baffled looks on their faces.]
Jack Gene - Welcome back everyone to Wrestling Midwest Graveyard Shift 110. We're about to head into our next match, but, while cameras were off the air WMW Superstar Damien Knight came down and... you've got to see what just took place. I don't even know how to describe it. Go to the tape.
/.../
[The shot cuts to a replay of moments before. "You Found Me" by The Fray blasts from the PA as Damian Knight walks out of the back, pausing at the top of the entryway as pyro goes off around the entryway, adjusting his suit and tie before starting a slow calculated walk down towards the ring. Zana Knight follows respectfully with suitcase in hand. Damian Knight holds the bottom ropes down for Zana Knight, as she makes her way into the ring first. Damian then makes his way into the ring, and asks for a mic from Wayne Inkster. Wayne Inkster hesitates at first, but eventually hands the mic to Damian Knight....]
Damian Knight: ....
[Damian Knight sighs into the mic...]
Damian Knight: What I am about to do is hard for me, but it is something I must do. So, I am going to get straight to the point.
[Out of no where Damian Knight throws the mic down, pushes the suitcase out of Zana Knight's hands, and then grabs her. Damian Knight locks Zana Knight in position for the Business Plan. Damian Knight lifts Zana Knight up and drills her into the mat. Damian Knight then picks the mic back up and begins to speak....]
Damian Knight: I am quitting my marriage with Zana Knight, and I am quitting WMW. Sault St. Marie take my WMW contract and shove it up your ass.
Bill Hughes - I can't believe what Damian Knight just did...
[All of a sudden the same man from Groundhog Slay 2010 dressed in a three piece suit slowly walks down the entryway to the ring, taking his time and walking up the steps and looking into the ring from the apron for a long moment before stepping into the ring.]
Jack Gene - What's going on now? Who is this person and what do they want?
Jack Gene - What's going on now? Who is this person and what do they want?
[The unknown man walks to the middle of the ring, looking face to face with Damian Knight. Damian Knight goes for the first punch, but the unknown man ducks the punch, and clocks Damian Knight with a huge right hand. Damian Knight stumbles back and the unknown man continues his assault on Damian Knight by spearing him to the ground. The unknown man begins to laying in with rights and lefts until Damian Knight seems to can't defend himself anymore.]
Bill Hughes - This is crazy, and I'm confused to what all this means...
[Finally security manages to pull this unknown person off Damian Knight who is barely moving in the ring and escort the unknown man from the ring while attendants check on Damian Knight and Zana Knight.]
/.../
[The shot goes back to ringside.]
Jack Gene - Damien Knight... quits Wrestling Midwest. He quits on Zana Knight, and divorces her in front of a live Wrestling Midwest audience. He attacks her and just left her for dead. And then, the unknown man... lays out Knight. This is getting stranger and stranger every week, Bill.
Bill Hughes - But, look at the bright side. I mean... Sault St. Marie will have to oblige by MOD's request to be let go, right?
Jack Gene - [deep, annoyed sigh]
[The shot cuts to in-ring.]
The Zepple Brothers vs. The Celestial Avatars
Written by: Garvin
Wayne Inkster - The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is in the Midwest Tag League 3 tournament. Introducing first, both stand at 6'4" and have a combined weight of 530lbs. They are... The Zepples!
["It's Not the End of the World, But I Can See it from Here" by Lost Prophets plays over the loudspeakers. Dressed in baggy grey cargo pants, and vests used to carry ammunition, The Zepples step through the curtains. They also wear interesting black and silver face paint, designed to appear like warpaint.]
Jack Gene - And here come the Zepples.
Bill Hughes - These guys are definitely dominant looking.
Jack Gene - Well, dominant in size, they've got a huge challenge in front of them tonight as they go Tag Wars 1 winners, and two reigning individual champions, Hecate and Jade.
[They walk swiftly and confidently to the ring, taking little time to
get there. After they hop through the ropes, the take off their vests
and drop them over the top ropes.]
Wayne Inkster - And their opponents...
[Just then, the lights all go out, sending the arena into blackness as "The Thing that Should not be" by Metallica blasts through the audio system in the arena as primordial storms flare to life on the videotron. The music is interrupted first by the screech of an owl and then by the roar of a dragon as a white and black owl swoops in front of the storms on the videotron followed by an Eastern Jade Dragon, a lone spot light shining down on two cloaked figures standing at the top of the entryway as the music continues. One cloaked figure steps behind the other, suggestively running hands up the first cloaked figures body before unfastening the cloak and letting it drop to the ground to show Hecate standing in black hot pants with a Jade Dragon wrapping around the her waist and a black halter top with a silvery white owl across her left breast, the Heartlands title proudly fastened around her waist. Hecate lifts her scepter up in the air before spinning around the second cloaked figure and repeating the suggestive running of her hands up the cloaked figures body before unfastening the cloak and letting it spill to the floor to reveal Jade standing there in a matching black hot pants and halter top, although on Jade the dragon is wrapped around her chest and the owl is one leg of the hot pants, pointed inwards with the Shoot title fastened proudly around her waist.]
Wayne Inkster - At a combined weight of 307lbs. They are the reigning Shoot and Heartlands Champions, respectively. They are... the Celestial Avatars!
[Hecate and Jade stand side by side, looking at each other and then Hecate starts down towards the ring, Jade standing at the entrance watching her before taking off in a run towards the ring, Hecate hopping up onto the ring apron and dropping into a split as Jade leaps up landing on Hecate's shoulders in a handstand before vaulting over the ropes as Hecate slithers under the ring ropes on her belly and rises up behind Jade, the two staring out at the crowd belly to back before rushing the corners and hopping up to the second turnbuckle and lifting their hands, bringing a surprising amount of cheers from the fans before hopping down and waiting for the match to begin.]
Jack Gene - Hecate and Jade getting a good reaction from the crowd. Both look very determined to continue on their role here in MTL3.
Bill Hughes - Well, you've also got to wonder what is going on in Hecate's mind, especially after earlier tonight, when Sault St. Marie booked her to fight Adam Pyre in 2 weeks at Ides of March.
Jack Gene - If she's smart, she won't even think about it tonight.
[The shot opens up at ringside.]
[Luna Pier, the ref for this match, checks with both teams. Hecate and Chaz Zepple start the match off as referee Luna Pier calls for the bell. They lock up in the center and Chaz immediately pushes Hecate into the corner.]
Jack Gene - And here we go. The Celestial Avatars taking on The Zepples. And, Chaz showing his strength here, just over-powering Hecate and pushing her into the corner.
[Luna Pier forces Chaz to move out of the corner, but before he completely moves out of the way, Hecate slams an elbow to the side of his head. He stumbles backwards. She charges and kicks him in the midsection. This causes him to double over, and she catches him with a knee that sends him spinning. She charges with a clothesline, but it only causes him to stumble.]
Jack Gene - And Hecate having some difficult here taking down the 6'4, 260lb Chaz Zepple.
[She bounces off of the ropes and again, goes for a clothesline, but Chaz catches her on his shoulder. He lifts her up and tries to lock on a bear hug, but she counters it with a right hand to the head, and then another. He drops her. She immediately hits him with a chop, followed by and opened handed slap to the chest. As he stumbles backwards, he falls up against the ropes. She quickly bounces off the ropes again and charges back, this time she catches him with a clothesline that sends him to the outside.]
Jack Gene - And Hecate takes Chaz to the outside!
Bill Hughes - You can definitely see the differences in size and strength in this match. But, Hecate seems to be managing this match pretty well. She didn't get Chaz off of his feet, but she's got him reeling.
[As Hecate watches cautiously from the inside, rubbing the sweat from her hands onto her thighs, Chaz's brother Mark jumps off of the apron and walks over to him. They walk together back towards his corner.]
Jack Gene - The Zepples talk outside. Looks like Mark is trying to talk Chaz back into this match.
[Chaz slides into the ring and they begin to circle once again in the center of the ring. They lock up and Chaz takes Hecate into his corner. He immediately is tagged by Mark. Mark climbs into the ring and, as Chaz lets go of Hecate in the corner, lands a hard right hand shot to her midsection.]
Jack Gene - Oof! And, Mark with a right hand there. Hecate is in a bad spot here, Bill.
[He pushes her chin up, before dropping a chop across her neck and chest. She stumbles from the corner, but he forces her back in. He quickly slams a shoulder into her midsection.]
Jack Gene - And Mark keeps Hecate locked up in the corner.
[He pulls her from the corner towards the center of the ring, and then takes her down with a snapmare, locking on a chinlock.]
Jack Gene - Mark Zepple applying a chinlock on the Heartlands Champion. Trying to keep her on the ground. We don't know much about the Zepple just yet, but we do know that they have very similar fighting styles, very similar builds. Both have MMA backgrounds, and are trying to use it here tonight to keep the Celestial Avatars on the mat.
[Hecate tries to get out of the hold and rolls to her knees. Mark keeps the hold applied, but Hecate rams an elbow into his midsection that makes him lose grip.]
Jack Gene - Hecate needs to make a tag here.
[She gets to her feet and hits him with a right hand. He stumbles to the side. She pushes him up against the ropes and attempts an Irish whip. He reverses it and sends her flying across the ring. She bounces off the ropes. As she charges back, she jumps into the air with a cross body, but Mark catches her.]
Jack Gene - Oh! And Mark Zepple caught her in mid-air, oh MY! And just dropped her to the mat with a falling splash. Oh, just the momentum on that drop, Bill.
Bill Hughes - She definitely got the wind knocked out of her.
Jack Gene - And here's a cover! ...1! ...2! And Hecate gets her shoulder up.
[Mark quickly gets back to his feet. He pulls up Hecate by the hair and drags her to his corner where he tags in Chaz.]
Jack Gene - And Chaz is back in the match.
[They both grab her by an arm and push her into the ropes. They whip her across the ring.]
Jack Gene - A double team move here. Hecate goes flying across the ring.
[As she charges back, they both lower their shoulders for a back body drop, but she catches herself and kicks Mark in the chest causing him to stumble backwards. She then takes him down with a clothesline.]
Jack Gene - Oh! Clothesline!
[Mark rolls out of the ring. Chaz stands up and Hecate meets him with a right hand, followed by a left, then a kick, and another.]
Jack Gene - Fury of the Hundred-Handed!
[She hits him with another left hand, before spinning and clocking him with a spinning back fist. This sends him falling backwards into the corner. She begins walking to her corner to make the tag, but Chaz quickly regains his composure and runs after her. He slams her in the back with a forearm.]
Jack Gene - And Hecate just could not get away.
[He spins Hecate around and attempts an Irish Whip, but she rakes him in the eyes.]
Jack Gene - She raked him in the eyes! Chaz can't see!
Bill Hughes - And she makes the tag to Jade! Here comes the Shoot Champion!
[Jade quickly jumps into the ring and lands a stiff kick to the back of Chaz' right leg. She follows it up with a kick to his left. He reaches out to grab a hold of her, but she ducks through it, and hits him with a heel kick to the back of the head that sends him face first into the corner.]
Jack Gene - Hecate with an opening here.
Bill Hughes - And Jade is just dying to get into this match.
[She charges forward and, as Chaz stands up, lands a double knee strike to his back. He falls face first against the corner. She pulls him out as Hecate appears to measure him up.]
Jack Gene - What's going on here? Looks like Hecate is...
[Just then, Jade jumps up, digging both knees into his back. They fall backwards. Hecate then springboards up onto the ropes and jumps off hitting a double foot stomp against Chaz's chest just as Jade hits a backstabber. Hecate pumps up the crowd as she is escorted out of the ring by the ref.]
Jack Gene - OH! Double team move there, Bill as Jade hit a backstabber just as Hecate hits a springboard double footstomp! And Jade's got a pin! ...1! ...2! ...and Mark breaks it up with a stomp to the back of Jade's head!
[Hecate quickly gets back into the ring and begins to trade rights and lefts with Mark.]
Jack Gene - And now all 4 fighters are in the ring.
Bill Hughes - Luna Pier is losing control over this match.
[Mark goes for a haymaker, but Hecate ducks it. She then grabs him by the back of the head and sends him over the top rope to the crowds cheers.]
Jack Gene - And Mark Zepple is back out of the ring! Jade is pulling herself up and Chaz is to his feet. He's measuring her up and... he goes for a clothesline...
Bill Hughes - No! She ducks it! And she's got him in a waistlock.
Jack Gene - She's going for a belly to back suplex it looks like, but she's having a hard time lifting him. I don't think she can.
Bill Hughes - OH! Spartan Kick!
Jack Gene - My god! Hecate with a Spartan Kick, and that gives Jade the momentum to slam him over with a German Suplex. Here's the cover! ...1! ...2! ...3! It's over!
["The Thing that Should not be" by Metallica blasts from the PA as Jade and Hecate celebrate in the center of the ring. Luna Pier holds their hands up as the crowd cheers.]
Wayne Inkster - Here's your winners... The Celestial Avatars!
[They roll out of the ring and grab their titles from the announcers table. Mark Zepple slides into the ring as Chaz gets to his knees, holding his chest in pain.]
Jack Gene - And another big win for the Celestial Avatars. That gives them a lot of momentum as MTL3 continues here at Graveyard Shift 110! Stay tuned! The WWA Tag Team Championships are on the line later tonight as The Hardcore Icons face off against Defiance's Team Danger!
[The camera focuses in on The Zepples who argue in the ring. The shot changes back to Hecate and Jade who walk up the ramp together. The scene fades.]
RSVP
[Umbrage walks down the hall and stops at his locker room, noting the card on the door.]
Bill Hughes - Oh! It's Umbrage! What's he going to do?
[With one motion, Umbrage rips it from the door, and turns back down the hallway.]
[The camera cuts to the ring, as "Bulls on Parade" by Rage Against the Machine plays through the sound system.]
Jack Gene - Apparently, Umbrage is coming out here to RSVP for this shindig!
Bill Hughes - Well, what do you think his answer is?
Jack Gene - Bill, if you have to ask....
Bill Hughes - Well, Umbrage has rolled into the ring, so let's give a listen.
[The music stops.]
Umbrage - This is really cute, Matrix. Really. it is. Maybe you can get all your little dollies there for this little event you had to make an invitation out for. You want me to face you in a Steel Cage match at Ides of March? You don't think I have anything better to do that night than kick your ass in a steel cage? Come on, Scotty K. You should know better. I'd be assuming that I have a Tag title match that night, so that I can once again carry WMW Tag Team gold, but hey, because you're washed up, and trying to relive the glory days you had, it's just perfectly fine to waste the time of the Age of Rage. Is that it?
Bill Hughes - Well, he does have a point.
Jack Gene - Stop interrupting.
Umbrage - You know what, Matrix? You are even wasting my time here and now. I have to get ready to bring home the WWA Tag Team titles, and you decide to put this crap on my door and want an answer? You want me to deal with this [bleep] now, when I have something else entirely on my mind? Or is that your big plan? Distract the big dog so you can try and put the muzzle on him? Is that the plan? Well, at Ides of March, Matrix, you better watch out, because I'm going to meet you in that steel cage, and I'm going to spay your bitch ass.
[The crowd pops.]
Jack Gene - Whoa!
Bill Hughes - That's going to be huge!
Umbrage - You want me to meet you in the steel cage? Fine, Matrix. You got it. Ides of March. You. Me. Your downfall yet again. Okay. I'm out. I have some bitches to take down in a bit.
[Umbrage drops the mic and "Bulls on Parade" plays again. He heads to the back.]
Bill Hughes - Ides of March will have a steel cage match between two of the veterans in WMW!
Jack Gene - We will, but I think that match is going to end very badly.
[The scene fades.]
Father Nathan (c) vs. Eric Dillinger
Written by: Ryven
[The shot opens up at ringside.]
Bill Hughes - This...this match is going to be awesome!
Jack Gene - It's not often when it happens, but I definitely agree with you there! Father Nathan went on a tear to earn the Ace Superior Title, ripping the division apart, and now he has some of the best talent in the business coming after him in Eric Dillinger!
Bill Hughes - And if any guy deserves gold around his waist, it's the Bastard....
Jack Gene - Bill, we went over this-
Bill Hughes - Icon! What? It's his nickname.
Jack Gene - Yeah, I know. But this is a family show, and we can't have you saying something like that.
Bill Hughes - Like what?
Jack Gene - You know...the 'B'-word.
Bill Hughes - You mean bitch? As in a female dog? Or do you mean bastard, as in a child born out of wedlock?
Jack Gene - This back'n'forth isn't funny, and it does nothing but allow you to have fun at my expense. Sometimes it feels like you can be such a....nevermind.
Bill Hughes - Oh you were totally going to say it! That's awesome.
Jack Gene - I hate you.
["Never Let It Die," by Hatebreed starts up as Eric Dillinger steps out onto the ramp way. He seemingly moves to the pounding rhythm of the music as he slaps the hands of a few fans, keeping focused on the ring. As Eric makes it to the ring he hops up onto the apron and faces the crowd. He looks them over and takes in their cheers before moving through the middle rope and taking his place in the middle of the ring where he crosses spreads his arms and looks up at the ceiling as if bathing in the flashes from the cameras in the arena.]
Wayne Inkster - The following contest is a non-title match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from San Antonio, Texas, he stands in at six feet, five inches tall and weighs in at two-hundred and fifty-five pounds, he is the Bastard Icon, Eric Dillinger!!!!
Bill Hughes - See? Wayne said it! I can say it to. Bastard.
Jack Gene - No, that's different, he can do that because no one really pays attention to what he says. He's basically a placeholder. No! No, I take that back! I didn't mean it!
Bill Hughes - Woah! Talk about jealousy! Hey Wayne! Did you hear what Jack had to say?!
Jack Gene - Shut up, he'll hear you!
Bill Hughes - That's the point, you bastard.
[The lights in Arena dim and a Gregorian chant is heard echoing throughout the arena. The voice of Fr. Nathan is heard singing a brief line in Latin. The entrance music then starts as 'Elembivos' by Eluveitie plays over the speakers as Fr. Nathan walks out, his cross strapped to his back, dressed in the black robes of a catholic priest. He pauses a moment and looks around at the crowd,who is cheering for him, smiling as he nods his head to them and raises his hand in a catholic style blessing before he adjusts his dark colored shades, making his way down to the ring, slowly but steadily.]
Wayne Inkster - And his opponent, he comes to us from Cleveland, Ohio, and stands in at six feet, four inches while weighing a total two hundred and fifty pounds, he is your Ace Superior Champion, Father Nathan!!!!
Bill Hughes - Oh, here comes Wayne, he's coming down. I'm going to tell him. Stop hiding your face, you look like a five-year-old that got caught.
Jack Gene - It was a slip, I didn't mean it. Besides, you've said and done way worse.
Bill Hughes - Don't pass this off on me, I'm not the bastard who said those things.
[Ding, ding]
Jack Gene - I can't believe you're allowed to say that.
Bill Hughes - Me? We're ALL allowed to say it. You're not above us.
[Father Nathan holds out his hands to lock up with Dillinger, but the Icon shrugs him away and sidesteps, angling for a method of attack. Nathan tries again, only to be rebuffed once more. Dillinger steps left then right, his feet constantly moving beneath him as he sizes up the Ace Superior champ. Nathan tries to lock up a third time, but Dillinger ducks and moves to the right, narrowly missing a blind-side elbow from Nathan. Both men take a few steps back, Nathan hiding the frustration at his missed trick, Dillinger hiding the shock that he momentarily let his guard down.]
Jack Gene - Wow, what a move by Father Nathan, nearly catching Dillinger with an elbow after Dillinger refused to lock up for the third time. I have to think that if Nathan tried that on a slower opponent, it may have worked.
Bill Hughes - Can't keep a good bastard down. My grandfather always said that.
Jack Gene - No he didn't.
Bill Hughes - He may have. How would you know?
[Dillinger explodes forward and catches Nathan with a right hand, followed by a left, causing the arena to explode in response. Nathan throws a guard up to block some of the blows, but Dillinger's fists find a way in, pounding on Nathan's midsection. He hauls Nathan with one arm against the ropes and whips him across the ring, going for a charging clothesline, but Nathan spears him to the ground. Dillinger quickly gets his wits about him and tries to fight off Nathan who pins him down and begins to pound him into the mat. Nathan leaps to his feet and hits Dillinger with a standing knee drop, catching the Icon on the side of his ribcage. Dillinger rolls out of the way, gaining distance between himself and the Ace Superior champ, before pulling himself to his feet and signaling for Nathan to 'bring it'.]
Jack Gene - Nathan again catching Dillinger, and again he seems to bounce back stronger than before!
Bill Hughes - Don't you know it! Hey, kid. Yeah, you, who's your favorite in the ring?
Kid - Father Nathan!
Bill Hughes - Fail. Okay, you! What about you, who's your favorite?
Kid #2 - Eric Dillinger! The Bastard Icon!
Bill Hughes - Awesome. See that? I got a ten-year-old to say 'bastard' on television.
Jack Gene - You are a monster.
Bill Hughes - Whatevs. That was great. I think I'm going to take that kid out for a beer later.
[Dillinger whips Nathan into the corner and follows up with an elbow to the side of Nathan's head. Getting a grip on the dazed champ, he whips him out of the corner only to pull him into a standing clothesline. Nathan hits the mat hard and Dillinger throws his arms up to the boos of the crowd. Ignoring them, he pulls Nathan to his feet and clutches him in a suplex, with his back facing the turnbuckle. Planting his feet he hauls Nathan over his head and slams his legs onto the top turnbuckle, leaving him in a tree of woe. Dillinger vaults to his feet and runs to the opposite corner, tapping his left leg twice before storming outward.]
Bill Hughes - Boot Party! He's got Nathan in a tree of woe, and he's going to exploit it! Here he comes!
[Dillinger slides into Nathan, but Nathan twists out of place, forcing Dillinger to slam into the ring post. Nathan looses his legs and grab's Dillinger's head, falling off the corner and slamming the Icon's cranium into the mat. Dillinger growls in pain while clutching his leg and Nathan slowly gathers enough to get to his feet. Nathan pulls Dillinger from the corner of the ring, and attempts to set him up for a throw, but Dillinger quickly grasps Nathan and twists him into a neck breaker. Both men lay on the mat as the referee begins to count.]
Jack Gene - What a recovery by Dillinger after that move by Nathan! I have to say looking at this match, Nathan's proving mentally why he's got the belt, but Dillinger is just a machine out there!
Bill Hughes - You could say he's being a real-
Jack Gene - I will punch you in the giblets if you say that again.
Bill Hughes - Did you just say... giblets? What the hell is a giblet, and how do you have more than one of them?
Jack Gene - Just do your job.
[Dillinger stirs first, rolling to his side and getting Nathan into a loose cover. The referee slides into place, but can barely get a one-count before Nathan reverses it into a cover of his own. The crowd leaps to their feet in surprise as the referee shifts position and begins to count again, but before his hand hits the mat, Dillinger twists out of it and leaps down again for another cover. The ref tries to count once more but is interrupted as Nathan rolls Dillinger onto his back and snakes his hands in front of the Icon's face.]
Jack Gene - What an exchange! But it looks like Nathan's going to get...I think he's almost got it!
Bill Hughes - No! Come on, get out of it you bastard!
Jack Gene - Nathan's got Dillinger in the Sinner's Redemption! Dillinger's struggling, but it looks like he's approaching the limit! He's....he's not tapping?
Bill Hughes - Escape! He can get out! He's almost at the ropes!
Jack Gene - I can't believe Dillinger is holding out this long! Look at Nathan torquing the neck of the Icon! I can't....yes! He tapped!
Bill Hughes - No!
[Ding, ding]
Wayne Inkster - Your winner, Father Nathan!!!
Jack Gene - I can't believe that Dillinger was able to take that hold from Nathan for that long! He's uh....well, he's one tough old bastard.
Bill Hughes - Yes! Awesome! Oh man, that just made my night!
Jack Gene - Glad you enjoyed it, now leave me alone.
Jack Gene - Honestly Bill, after what you saw today, is there anyone you think can stop Nathan's momentum? He's taken the division by storm!
Bill Hughes - Hell if I care, I got you to swear on live television.
[The scene fades.]
Team Danger (c) vs. The Hardcore Icons
Written by: Jade
Jack Gene - Oh my god, Bill I have goose bumps with the match that's coming up next. How bout you?
Bill Gene - I know! Valora said it. WMW is going to war and WMW Arena has been buzzing ever since the words left her mouth. Everyone feels it, with the eyes of the entire WWA on us, WMW is about to take our first steps into a much bigger world. A new era in WMW starts tonight.
Jack Gene - But that begs the question...can the Hardcore Icons beat Team Danger? The team that's been on a roll as of late?
Bill Gene - Of course they can! Think about it, man! Valora and Umbrage are 100% focused, zeroed in. They've made it clear that they won't fail to defend WMW soil and the eyes of the entire WMW are on them, not to mention the entire WWA. And, as we've seen from these two before, they are big game players. I'm calling it. New Tag Champs crowned right here tonight.
Jack Gene - Well, if you're right, it will be truly historic, not only for the WMW, but for the WWA as well. I was digging through the WWA archives and managed to get a hold of none other then the author of Polla to the People himself, Mr. Pollaski, who shared an interesting fact with me. If the Hardcore Icons win tonight, Valora will become only the second woman in WWA history to win the WWA Tag Team Title!
Bill Hughes - Really?! Oh Ho! Wouldn't that be a great way to stick it to Defiance! In light of that, I double pick the Icons to win the titles tonight!
Jack Gene - No doubt many of the hopes of the WMW faithful agree with you there Bill. A large number of the crowd have brought signs bearing the phrase coined by the Hardcore Icons, labeling Team Danger 'Team in Danger.' I'm even told WMW had to break up a fight in the crowd, some Defiance fans showed up and got a first hand glimpse of WMW's version of the famous Cleveland Browns' 'Dawg Pound'.
Bill Hughes - I know it was great! I don't know about you, but I've been sick to death of hearing Defiance running their mouths about how they're this and they're that. They're king [bleep] now but that's only because they haven't run into WMW yet.
Jack Gene - Umm they have. Joe Drago beat Kronin and a bunch of others in the Caged Hell match.
Bill Hughes - I meant besides that. That was preseason man.
Jack Gene - Normally, I would argue about your selective memory, but tonight... I'm right with you. It's almost time to get this thing started so let's go down to down to Wayne Inkster in the ring!
[The camera moves to Wayne Inkster. All around the ring the Arena is rocking as chants of "WMW! WMW! WMW!" ring out as Inkster looks around and nods, bringing the mic up to talk.]
Wayne Inkster - Ladies and Gentlemen, the following match is your MAIN EVENT of the evening and it is for the WWA Tag Team Championship of the WORLD!!!
[The crowd erupts into loud cheers, cutting Inkster off early.]
Wayne Inkster - Introducing first, the challengers to the titles, representing WRESTLING MIDWEST!!!! [Crowd pops and "WMW!" chants break out.] Hailing from Los Angeles, California, and Detroit Michigan respectively and weighing in at a combined weight of 388lbs. They are the team of VALORA SALINAS AND UMBRAGE, THE HARDCORE ICONS!!!!
['Burn it to the Ground' by Nickelback plays over the speakers and the crowd erupts into a frenzy of cheers as Valora walks out, a confident smirk on her face as she lifts her lead pipe high over her head and slowly makes a circle motion before taking both arms and pumping the crowd up, driving them to cheer even louder, Umbrage walks out and finishes his bottle of bourbon and tosses the bottle aside lifting his steel chair high, pounding his fist against it. Chants of 'Hardcore! Hardcore! Hardcore!' fill the arena as the duo makes it's way to the ring. John Law stepping forward and telling the team to leave their weapons out of the ring. The pair shrugs and drops their weapons and climb the ring. Umbrage climbs the turnbuckles and pumps the crowd as Valora walks to Inkster and snatches the mic from him.]
Valora - Hey! Hey! Team In Danger! Welcome to our house. The house that Umbrage and Valora built! You two bitches did a lot of talking! Now, now I say step into my ring put up or shut up Mother [Bleep]ers!
Jack Gene - Well the challengers are out and in the ring and to say they have the support of the WMW crowd here would be an understatement of epic proportions. Valora throwing some more fuel on the fights. I don't always agree with her tactics, least she isn't afraid of a fight and I'm rooting for her tonight...
Bill Hughes - Well of course she's awesome! I mean, yeah Greer has some talent in the Hardcore Arena but Lightning? He wouldn't last two seconds with Valora and Umbrage and that's why these two just blew off the challenge for a Hardcore rules match.
Wayne Inkster - And introducing, their opponents. Representing Defiance [Crowd begins to boo heavily] and weighing in at a combined weight of 470lbs. Hailing from Rochester, New York and Jacksonville, Florida by way of Detroit, Michigan respectively. They are Johnny Lightning and Stephen Greer, TEAM DANGER!
[Boos rain down on Team Danger as the Defiance theme plays and the duo walks out, the WWA World Tag Team Title belts around their waists, as they argue with the fans a bit before running into the ring, Greer moving right to Valora and shoving her to the mat. As Valora gets up he slaps her. The mic catching the ambient conversation between the two.]
Stephen Greer - You don't know [bleep] bout Hardcore, spic bitch. I'm gonna beat your ass and maybe drag you down to Defiance, Dane and the boys could prolly use another whore to take care of them.
Valora - Yeah? Step on up esse. Let's go hardcore rules. Unless you're just some little punk pussy that gets tats of barbed wire cause he can't handle the real thing...
[Stephen Greer palms Valora's face and shoves her backwards. Umbrage steps in and the two exchange words. Finally, Greer gets angry and begins arguing with the ref. Both John Law and Wayne Inkster's eyes widen as Umbrage and Valora grin and nod eagerly, the two of them sliding out of the ring and picking up their weapons, conferring outside as Lightning and Greer confer in the ring and Wayne Inkster raises the mic again.]
Wayne Inkster - Ladies and Gentlemen, by mutual agreement of both teams, WMW Senior Referee John Law has declared this match will be held under...HARDCORE RULES!!
[The crowd erupts into loud cheers and chants of "WMW! WMW! WMW!" and "We Want Blood!" Valora grins and spreads her arms wide as she looks at the Greer as Umbrage points to Greer and to the crowd and though he can't be heard, his lips can be read to be saying "You hear that?"]
Jack Gene - Hardcore rules! Folks you're in for a real treat now as our WWA Tag Team match just became Hardcore rules! C..Can Law do that? I don't think refs have that power!
Bill Hughes - Why not? Both teams agreed to it, I say go for it! Good call by the Ref!
Jack Gene - Apparently he can! I'm getting word from the back that Sault St. Marie and WMW Management are backing the decision as both teams agreed to the stipulations.
[Valora slides into the ring, lead pipe in hand as Johnny Lightning comes into the ring for his team. Wayne Inkster takes the belts and leaves the ring as Referee John Law calls for the bell. Lightning walks up towards Valora laughing and making jokes, gesturing to the the lead pipe and then to Valora groin region. Valora just smirks and nods, tossing the lead pipe aside for the moment and makes the 'come on' motion to Lightning who charges in at Valora. Valora sprints towards Lightning and jumps over him, leap frogging him at his full height heading into the ropes on the opposite side of the ring and comes back at Lightning as he rebounds off the ropes he was heading towards. They meet in the middle of the ring where Valora makes a baseball slide under and through his legs, grabbing his legs and taking them out, dropping him face first onto the mat, coming to her feet and make an 'Ole!' gesture before going through the ropes and jumping up on them, springboarding off of them and nailing Johnny Lightning in the head with a springboard flying forearm smash right as he gets up sending him back to the mat. Valora gets up to her feet and shakes her head, laughing at Lighting as she pull him to his feet and whips him to a neutral coroner, but Lightning reverses the whip and sends Valora towards the corner, waiting a few moments and running after her. Valora reaches the corner and hops up to the turnbuckle and jumps off in a moonsault like move, Lightning sees it coming and jumps into a flying crossbody block and the two wrestlers collide in mid air hard before hitting the mat hard as both Umbrage and Greer start calling for tags into the match.]
Jack Gene - Well no time wasted here as the speed members of both teams mix it up to start us off and holy crap, Bill! Did you see Valora jump over Johnny Lightning at his full height?
Bill Hughes - That was awesome! Though next time she should totally do a Mario stomp! I would pay money to see that.
[In the ring, Johnny Lightning and Valora slowly get to their feet and glance at each other, trading right hands until Valora blocks the right hand from Lightning and nails him with a vicious Right elbow strike, a fraction of a second later bringing the same elbow back into the other side of Johnny Lightning's face, the end result being hitting him with two vicious elbow strikes with almost no recovery time in between. Lightning lashes out with a right hand, but Valora ducks under the right hand and runs behind him, jumping up and hitting him in the back sending him tumbling to the mat by his corner. Greer reaches over and makes the tag and the crowd goes wild as the big man steps into the ring. Umbrage tosses the lead pipe into the ring and Valora catches it, smirking as she urges Greer to come at her. Greer charges and tries for a lariat that would have taken Valora's head off it had hit but Valora ducks under it and as Greer turns around Valora hits Greer in the left knee with a dropkick, bringing him down to a knee. Valora jumps up to her feet and slams her lead pipe into the back and shoulder of Greer, hitting him three times before he grabs Valora by the throat and headbutts Valora, stunning her for a moment as he takes the lead pipe and smirks, turning around and leveling Valora with a discus blow from the lead pipe. Meanwhile, Johnny Lightning drops down and digs under the ring and pulls out a couple of boards, grinning as he turns them over, revealing them to be nail beds.]
Jack Gene - Vicious shot by Greer taking Valora down! She's going to be out of it for awhile! It looked like she leaned back a bit and thus didn't catch the full force of it which is good as full force would have likely cracked her skull.
Bill Hughes - What the hell is Umbrage standing around for? This is Hardcore rules, get in there and help your sexy partner for Pete's sake! Or maybe go and impale Johnny Lightning on those nails... that would be good too.
[Greer drags Valora to her feet, Valora bleeding from her head a bit already due to the shot she just took and at the moment is out on her feet. Greer turns her to face the crowd and makes fun of her before lifting her up and throwing her over the ropes and out of the ring to the floor. Umbrage enters the ring with his chair and stands behind Greer, loading up to hit him. Greer turns around and BAM! Umbrage nails him with the chair, denting the chair and stunning Greer a bit. Umbrage winds up again and whacks him again, denting the chair even further. Umbrage drops the chair on the mat and kicks Greer in the gut before hitting a DDT on the chair, getting up and playing to the crowd who cheers loudly. On the floor, meanwhile, Johnny Lightning pulls Valora up to her feet and slaps her in the face, yelling at her before walking her to the bed of nails. He grins at the crowd before hiptossing Valora, sending her onto the first bed, eliciting a scream of pain and some laughter from her. Johnny stares at her, slightly unnerved by the laughter but takes the other bed of nails and slams that onto her as well, before hopping up onto the ring apron and diving off, hitting a 450 splash onto the bed of nails sandwhiching Valora in between them, an inhuman scream and more maniacal laughter coming from in between the nail beds as Johnny Lightning stands up, obviously a bit nervous as Valora tries to fight her way off and out of the nails.]
Jack Gene and Bill Hughes (In unison): Holy [bleep]!
Jack Gene - My God almighty! Valora has been sandwhiched between two beds of nails! That's a career ender for most wrestlers folks and she's laughing.. she's laughing about it...
Bill Hughes - Yeah and I think Lightning just [bleep] his pants a bit.
Jack Gene - That has to be the most mild analogy to ever escape your lips. Still with two near falls back to back, you have to say momentum is starting to swing to the Hardcore Icons.
[Greer pulls Valora off Johnny Lightning, who has more then a bit of Valora's blood on him and as Johnny Lightning rolls out of the ring to recover, Umbrage moves back to his corner. Greer throws a flurry of punches at Valora who ducks, dodges and weaves through them before finally running jumping onto the second rope and leaping in the air, turning nailing Greer with a punch that stops him for a second. Valora drops down and hits a drop toe hold on Greer, dropping him across the second rope. Valora smirks and tags in Umbrage before running and leaping into the air landing on Greer's back, before hopping off and Umbrage hits the same move, sending Greer off the ropes and to the mat. Valora and Umbrage pull Greer to his feet but he pie faces Valora, shoving her out of the way as he picks up Umbrage and slams him to the mat with a powerful spine buster. Valora runs in and Greer turns, catching her and driving her into Umbrage with another spinebuster, sending the Hardcore Icons rolling on the mat in pain as boos resound from the crowd at Team Danger turning things around.]
Jack Gene - Wow! Stephen Greer of Team Danger starting to take charge here! I think he just realized Team Danger's reign is in serious trouble here!
Bill Hughes - Of course it is. Valora and Umbrage aren't Hardcore wrestlers, they're not Hardcore Decent or Hardcore cool They are Hardcore ICONS.
[Outside the ring, Johnny Lightning uses the apron to pull himself to his feet, and shakes his head and pulls Umbrage out to the floor with him, before whipping the hardcore icon into the barricades before running in after him and hitting a shining wizard kick, charging in again and knocking Umbrage over the barricades and into the crowd, hopping in after him, pulling Umbrage to his feet and hitting a DDT on the concrete.
In the ring, Stephen Greer pulls Valora to her feet and takes her back down with a massive powerbomb. He adds a stomp to Valora's midsection to that and then covers her. John Law makes the count...
One.....Two....Valora kicks out!
[Greer pounds the mat in frustration and gets to his feet stomping Valora again and yelling at her.]
Greer - God Damn It! Stay down you spic [Bleep]!
[Pulling Valora to her feet once more locking her in a move similar to a set up for a rock bottom but Valora fights back, hitting Greer with a series of three quick elbow strikes to the head to get him dazed a bit before planting her steel toed combat boot int Greer's groin. Greer pops up enraged and begins throwing punches wildly once more getting more enraged as Valora again uses her speed, agility and quickness to dodge, duck and weave out of the way before jumping up and catching Greer with a Pele kick that stuns the big man, sending him staggering back a few steps. Valora is up to her feet and sends Greer into the ropes, running after him and ducking his attempt at a clothesline. They both hit the ropes and come at each other again, Greer trying for a spear this time but Valora leapfrogs him and both go into the ropes again. They run at each other and Greer picks Valora up, trying for a tilt a whirl backbreaker but Valora spins around him a couple of times before finally taking him down with a version of a tornado DDT. Valora rolls over to a knee, the blood loss starting to catch up with her but Greer is on the mat, panting hard as he tries to get back into things.]
Jack Gene - Amazing series by Valora there, using her speed and better conditioning to try and even the odds with Greer but you have to think the blood loss is starting to catch up with her... and we've lost sight of Umbrage and Johnny Lighting as they brawl through the crowd. We'll try to get cameras on them as soon as we can folks.
Bill Hughes - Well we've seen Valora bounce back from all sorts of stuff, being thrown through plate glass windows, the gates of hell match, but Stephen Greer certainly is pushing Valora to the limit here tonight..
[Suddenly, Umbrage comes running out from the entryway, slamming into one of the support posts and falling to the ground. Johnny Lighting comes out behind him, a big gash on his forehead. Johnny Lightning charges in after Umbrage, trying for a hurricanrana, but Umbrage counters with with a big time powerbomb on the entryway. Umbrage looks down and grins moving down the entryway and dropping down into the equipment area and brushes items off of a wooden table, moving and setting it up in position before making his way back up to Johnny Lightning, who has gotten to his feet, shaking his head. He meets Umbrage with a kick to gut the and a DDT to the entryway. He looks down and sees the table and gets an evil grin on his face as he stomps, aiming for Umbrage's neck before dropping down into the equipment area and digging around, finding a can of lighter fluid and spraying it all over the table before grabbing a lighter and tossing it on the table, setting it ablaze. Johnny makes his way back to Umbrage and pulls him to his feet, leading him to the higher ground above the table and punches him, sending Umbrage teetering on the edge. He backs up and charges toward Umbrage who meets him with a boot to the gut, halting his attack, and then lifting him up into a fireman's carry as Umbrage turns to face the edge, with Johnny Lightning on his back and cries out "Detroit rules Bitch!" before jumping off the edge turning the fireman's carry into a sitdown piledriver through the burning table, both men crying out as they quickly roll off the ruins of the table, and are dosed by WMW staff with fire extinguishers as the crowd utters another chant of "WMW! WMW! WMW! and "Holy Shit!"]
Jack Gene - Detroit Breakdown! Detroit Breakdown through a burning table! Umbrage sending a message to Team Danger here tonight but both men are down and out for the moment after that move!
Bill Hughes - That's right! WMW Bitches! Johnny played with fire and got burned!
Jack Gene - ...You're really going there?
Bill Hughes - I could mention how Johnny tried to be nimble, tried to be quick but couldn't put Umbrage through the big ass candlestick (Also known as a Flaming table in this analogy.)
[Jack opens his mouth to say something but just shakes his head and laughs a bit. While that exchange between Umbrage and Johnny Lightning happened, in the ring Valora slowly gets back to her feet and runs to the ropes, as Greer gets to his feet, Valora grabs him and drives his face into a mat with a diving facebuster, before hopping up to her feet running into the opposite ropes and as Greer raises his head, Valora is there with a dropkick before she rolls out of the ring. The crowd noise and Detroit Breakdown, cause both fighters to look to the entryway. Greer's eyes widen in his partner and then narrow as he glances down at Valora who reaches under the ring and bends over, hiding the weapon she pulled out, her back to the ring. Greer reaches over the ropes and grabs Valora by the hair and Valora swings upward and back, cracking Greer in the face with a barbed wire 2x4, bringing a roar from the crowd as Valora spins around and swings cracking Stephen Greer in the left knee with the barbed wire 2x4, sending him to the mat clutching his knee, bleeding from both places as Valora slides into the ring and clubs him in the left knee again before hitting him in the back a couple of times and smirks as she runs to the turnbuckle and hops up before jumping off into her Aztec Moonsault move, clutching the barbed wire 2x4 to her chest and landing on Greer as he rolls over onto his back, immediately going into the cover, keeping the barbed wire sandwhiched between her and Greer as John Law drops down and makes the count...
One....Two....Thno!!
John Law pops up at the last second and notices Greer's foot is on the ropes and breaks the count, Valora slams the mat in frustration and grabs John Law, yelling at him to count faster.]
Jack Gene - Wow! I mean... what more can you say about this match folks! It has not taken these two teams long to hate each other and they are beating each other bloody here... I give my vote for 'Most Extreme Pin' to Valora for pinning Greer, with BARBED Wire caught in between the two of them! That hurt both wrestlers, but somehow, Stephen Greer was able to get his foot on the bottom rope. Great ring awareness by the crafty veteran there, who has about 8 years of experience on Valora.
Bill Hughes - Well, yeah... but what Valora lacks in experience she makes up for with almost inhuman athletic ability! She has Greer right where she wants him...
[As Valora is arguing with the ref, Greer very carefully places the barbed wire 2x4 and then walks up behind Valora grabbing her from behind as he places his head under her right arm and lifts her up, dropping her on her head and neck on the barbed wire. He drags her into the middle of the ring and goes for the cover, John Law dropping down, making the count....
One....Two... Thr-
Umbrage dives in from out the camera view and drops an elbow on Greer, breaking the pin up as the crowd cheers loudly. Greer gets up and stares Umbrage down, the crowd chanting "Umbrage! Umbrage! Umbrage!" Both men are cut and bleeding from various areas of their body. The two trade punches, while John Law checks on Valora who is writhing on the mat in pain though when the camera shows her face, her facial expressions change from pain to laughing as she rolls over to her corner, trying to get back to her feet. Umbrage calls to Valora and hits Greer in the midsection with a knee and then whips him towards Valora but Greer reverses the whip, sending Umbrage towards Valora instead. Umbrage ducks down in a spear move and Valora runs forward and steps on Umbrage who stands up as she jumps, catapulting Valora into the air... Greer reaches down and grabs the barbed wire 2x4 and takes a baseball swing, breaking the 2x4 as he hits Valora in mid air in the midsection, forcing Valora to the mat hard, where she rolls around in pain, holding her midsection, blood coming out of her mouth.]
Jack Gene - Oh God! Alright! This is starting to get out of hand! These two teams are going to kill each other!!
Bill Hughes - Not if the Icons kill Team In Danger first!!
Jack Gene - Yeah... look at Valora and tell me how long she can last, even tough as she is?
[Johnny Lighting makes his way back down to the ring as well and climbs up slowly to Team Danger's corner as Greer points to Valora and laughs, simulating hitting a home run. Umbrage narrows his eyes and charges forward but Greer beats him to the punch, running forward and nailing Umbrage with a lariat that sends Umbrage inside out and causes him to land flat on his face, where he doesn't move. Greer places his foot on Umbrage and rolls him out of the ring, walking over to his corner and tagging in Johnny Lightning and as Lightning comes in, Greer walks over and sits on the steel steps, winded from the match. Lightning keeps the attack on Valora's midsection going by jumping up onto the ropes and springboarding off into his 630 corkscrew legdrop, going into the cover right away...
One....Two....ThrNO!!
Valora reaches up at the last second, only barely getting her shoulder off the mat in time as she grabs the bottom rope, causing Johnny Lightning to jump to his feet and argues with the ref. Meanwhile, Valora gets to her feet, slipping a pair of brass knuckles onto her right hand. The crowd gets into it with cries of "Valora's gonna kill you!" Greer shouts from his corner for his partner to look out, but as Johnny Lightning turns Valora decks him with the brass knuckles, sending Johnny Lightning tumbling to the mat hard. Valora wastes no time and runs to the ropes, walking up before brushing her shoulder off and dropping her brass knuckled fist into Lightning's face, getting back up to her feet, removing the knuckles and slipping them back into her pocket, clutching at her midsection, trying to breathe.]
Jack Gene - Yeah... yeah Bill I think Valora is actually hurt in this match...
Bill Hughes - Yeah... the Hardcore Icons need to win this match and soon. Fortunately, Greer's knee is hurting him again and he also is tiring and Lightning has been beaten all to hell.
[Valora looks to her corner and sees Umbrage is still out of commission and winces in pain, looking back to Johnny Lighting who is spitting out blood from his nose that has run into his mouth and crawling towards his partner, diving and making the tag. Greer climbs in, limping a bit and grins to Valora. Valora looks around and sighs, narrowing her eyes and flipping Greer off with both hands. Greer narrows his eyes and runs forward, as best he can and tries for another Hellfire Lariat but Valora ducks and rolls under it, the force of his attempt and his bad knee knocking Greer off balance as Valora spins him around and rolls him up in an inside cradle...
One....Two....Three!!!!
The bell rings as Greer kicks out literally just after the three count. Greer is stunned as Valora jumps to her feet and the crowd nearly blows the roof off the WMW Arena. Greer looks around stunned and then narrows his eyes and charges Valora, who turns around just in time to get nailed with a Hellfire Lariat that sends her over the ropes and down to the floor where she lands in a heap. Lightning runs across the ring and springboards off the rope nailing Umbrage with a plancha as he begins to get to his feet. Greer drags Valora to her feet, who again, seems to be out on her feet and whips her as hard as he can into the barricades, running in with a shoulder to her midsection, again, and again, and again, after the third time, he picks her up and runs to the ringpost, slamming her into it before turning around and hitting a powerslam on the floor. He rolls Valora's unconscious body into the ring as Johnny does the same with Umbrage, entering after Umbrage, carrying Valora's lead pipe which he uses to beat Umbrage as Greer stomps and beats on Valora...]
Jack Gene - Holy Inside Cradle Bill! Did we see that? It seems we did, this match is over, Valora pinned Greer but is paying the price for it now, where the hell are the other WMW wrestlers? Dammit! We need help out here!!!
[Bill Hughes doesn't say anything but gets up and leads the crowd in another "WMW! WMW! WMW!" chant which gets quickly picked up by the crowd and AWS Man and Adam Pyre come running running out from the backstage area, AWS Man carrying Pen and Pyre carrying his orange tire iron. A few seconds after they come out, another group of WMW wrestlers comes out, including Gras-Dawg, Stormrider, Jade, Hecate, Ryven, Kronin, Eric Dillinger, Matrix and others. Team Danger rolls out of the ring and heads for the announce booth, grabbing the title belts and heading for a side exit, as the WMW wrestlers form a barrier around the ring while Pyre and AWS Man slide into the ring to check on their stablemates, AWS Man by Umbrage and Pyre by Valora. John Law waves for medics as Team Danger backs out of the arena, holding on to the belts they have just lost, yelling back to the ring. Wayne Inkster climbs into the ring, looking confused as the "WMW! WMW! WMW!" chants continue and grow in intensity.]
Wayne Inkster - Ladies and Gentlemen, your winners by pinfall, and the new World Wrestling Alliance World Tag Team Champions...THE HARDCORE ICONS!!!
[Medics run down to the ring as Umbrage gets up slowly and joins Pyre and AWS Man on checking on Valora. The WMW wrestlers break and let the medics through as Valora is put on a backboard and brace for precautionary measures and gently pushed under the ropes, onto the stretcher, which is immediately taken to the back of the arena..]
Jack Gene - God damn it... the Hardcore Icons won the match and those Defiance bastards went and stole the belts and they beat the crap out of the Hardcore Icons... Valora is out cold folks... likely from a combination of the blood loss and the savage beating she took in the match and during the aftermath... But thankfully... thankfully WMW stood as one and said "Not in our House." Look at it, WMW wrestlers who put aside their differences to help out fellow WMW wrestlers and send those Defiance cretins packing. Good to see...
Bill Hughes - Damn right... We really need to consider better security for those belts.... But I called it...whether they have the belts or not...WMW just kicked Defiance's ass and we got new WWA Tag Team champs. Suck on it Defiance.
[The crowd disperses, Hecate walking up to Umbrage and conversing with him and Pyre before the three of them walk to the back, AWS Man right behind them.]
Jack Gene - And here we see, Hecate and That Damn Awesome putting aside their differences as they go to the back to check on Valora's condition.
Bill Hughes - Good to see... I know I'm supposed to be a jackass here but I...don't have it in me...I'm too proud of what WMW accomplished here tonight and concerned for Valora. But I can't wait to see the fallout of this on Defiance's show... Eric Dane won't be happy at all... but again..Suck on it Defiance.
Bill Gene - I know! Valora said it. WMW is going to war and WMW Arena has been buzzing ever since the words left her mouth. Everyone feels it, with the eyes of the entire WWA on us, WMW is about to take our first steps into a much bigger world. A new era in WMW starts tonight.
Jack Gene - But that begs the question...can the Hardcore Icons beat Team Danger? The team that's been on a roll as of late?
Bill Gene - Of course they can! Think about it, man! Valora and Umbrage are 100% focused, zeroed in. They've made it clear that they won't fail to defend WMW soil and the eyes of the entire WMW are on them, not to mention the entire WWA. And, as we've seen from these two before, they are big game players. I'm calling it. New Tag Champs crowned right here tonight.
Jack Gene - Well, if you're right, it will be truly historic, not only for the WMW, but for the WWA as well. I was digging through the WWA archives and managed to get a hold of none other then the author of Polla to the People himself, Mr. Pollaski, who shared an interesting fact with me. If the Hardcore Icons win tonight, Valora will become only the second woman in WWA history to win the WWA Tag Team Title!
Bill Hughes - Really?! Oh Ho! Wouldn't that be a great way to stick it to Defiance! In light of that, I double pick the Icons to win the titles tonight!
Jack Gene - No doubt many of the hopes of the WMW faithful agree with you there Bill. A large number of the crowd have brought signs bearing the phrase coined by the Hardcore Icons, labeling Team Danger 'Team in Danger.' I'm even told WMW had to break up a fight in the crowd, some Defiance fans showed up and got a first hand glimpse of WMW's version of the famous Cleveland Browns' 'Dawg Pound'.
Bill Hughes - I know it was great! I don't know about you, but I've been sick to death of hearing Defiance running their mouths about how they're this and they're that. They're king [bleep] now but that's only because they haven't run into WMW yet.
Jack Gene - Umm they have. Joe Drago beat Kronin and a bunch of others in the Caged Hell match.
Bill Hughes - I meant besides that. That was preseason man.
Jack Gene - Normally, I would argue about your selective memory, but tonight... I'm right with you. It's almost time to get this thing started so let's go down to down to Wayne Inkster in the ring!
[The camera moves to Wayne Inkster. All around the ring the Arena is rocking as chants of "WMW! WMW! WMW!" ring out as Inkster looks around and nods, bringing the mic up to talk.]
Wayne Inkster - Ladies and Gentlemen, the following match is your MAIN EVENT of the evening and it is for the WWA Tag Team Championship of the WORLD!!!
[The crowd erupts into loud cheers, cutting Inkster off early.]
Wayne Inkster - Introducing first, the challengers to the titles, representing WRESTLING MIDWEST!!!! [Crowd pops and "WMW!" chants break out.] Hailing from Los Angeles, California, and Detroit Michigan respectively and weighing in at a combined weight of 388lbs. They are the team of VALORA SALINAS AND UMBRAGE, THE HARDCORE ICONS!!!!
['Burn it to the Ground' by Nickelback plays over the speakers and the crowd erupts into a frenzy of cheers as Valora walks out, a confident smirk on her face as she lifts her lead pipe high over her head and slowly makes a circle motion before taking both arms and pumping the crowd up, driving them to cheer even louder, Umbrage walks out and finishes his bottle of bourbon and tosses the bottle aside lifting his steel chair high, pounding his fist against it. Chants of 'Hardcore! Hardcore! Hardcore!' fill the arena as the duo makes it's way to the ring. John Law stepping forward and telling the team to leave their weapons out of the ring. The pair shrugs and drops their weapons and climb the ring. Umbrage climbs the turnbuckles and pumps the crowd as Valora walks to Inkster and snatches the mic from him.]
Valora - Hey! Hey! Team In Danger! Welcome to our house. The house that Umbrage and Valora built! You two bitches did a lot of talking! Now, now I say step into my ring put up or shut up Mother [Bleep]ers!
Jack Gene - Well the challengers are out and in the ring and to say they have the support of the WMW crowd here would be an understatement of epic proportions. Valora throwing some more fuel on the fights. I don't always agree with her tactics, least she isn't afraid of a fight and I'm rooting for her tonight...
Bill Hughes - Well of course she's awesome! I mean, yeah Greer has some talent in the Hardcore Arena but Lightning? He wouldn't last two seconds with Valora and Umbrage and that's why these two just blew off the challenge for a Hardcore rules match.
Wayne Inkster - And introducing, their opponents. Representing Defiance [Crowd begins to boo heavily] and weighing in at a combined weight of 470lbs. Hailing from Rochester, New York and Jacksonville, Florida by way of Detroit, Michigan respectively. They are Johnny Lightning and Stephen Greer, TEAM DANGER!
[Boos rain down on Team Danger as the Defiance theme plays and the duo walks out, the WWA World Tag Team Title belts around their waists, as they argue with the fans a bit before running into the ring, Greer moving right to Valora and shoving her to the mat. As Valora gets up he slaps her. The mic catching the ambient conversation between the two.]
Stephen Greer - You don't know [bleep] bout Hardcore, spic bitch. I'm gonna beat your ass and maybe drag you down to Defiance, Dane and the boys could prolly use another whore to take care of them.
Valora - Yeah? Step on up esse. Let's go hardcore rules. Unless you're just some little punk pussy that gets tats of barbed wire cause he can't handle the real thing...
[Stephen Greer palms Valora's face and shoves her backwards. Umbrage steps in and the two exchange words. Finally, Greer gets angry and begins arguing with the ref. Both John Law and Wayne Inkster's eyes widen as Umbrage and Valora grin and nod eagerly, the two of them sliding out of the ring and picking up their weapons, conferring outside as Lightning and Greer confer in the ring and Wayne Inkster raises the mic again.]
Wayne Inkster - Ladies and Gentlemen, by mutual agreement of both teams, WMW Senior Referee John Law has declared this match will be held under...HARDCORE RULES!!
[The crowd erupts into loud cheers and chants of "WMW! WMW! WMW!" and "We Want Blood!" Valora grins and spreads her arms wide as she looks at the Greer as Umbrage points to Greer and to the crowd and though he can't be heard, his lips can be read to be saying "You hear that?"]
Jack Gene - Hardcore rules! Folks you're in for a real treat now as our WWA Tag Team match just became Hardcore rules! C..Can Law do that? I don't think refs have that power!
Bill Hughes - Why not? Both teams agreed to it, I say go for it! Good call by the Ref!
Jack Gene - Apparently he can! I'm getting word from the back that Sault St. Marie and WMW Management are backing the decision as both teams agreed to the stipulations.
[Valora slides into the ring, lead pipe in hand as Johnny Lightning comes into the ring for his team. Wayne Inkster takes the belts and leaves the ring as Referee John Law calls for the bell. Lightning walks up towards Valora laughing and making jokes, gesturing to the the lead pipe and then to Valora groin region. Valora just smirks and nods, tossing the lead pipe aside for the moment and makes the 'come on' motion to Lightning who charges in at Valora. Valora sprints towards Lightning and jumps over him, leap frogging him at his full height heading into the ropes on the opposite side of the ring and comes back at Lightning as he rebounds off the ropes he was heading towards. They meet in the middle of the ring where Valora makes a baseball slide under and through his legs, grabbing his legs and taking them out, dropping him face first onto the mat, coming to her feet and make an 'Ole!' gesture before going through the ropes and jumping up on them, springboarding off of them and nailing Johnny Lightning in the head with a springboard flying forearm smash right as he gets up sending him back to the mat. Valora gets up to her feet and shakes her head, laughing at Lighting as she pull him to his feet and whips him to a neutral coroner, but Lightning reverses the whip and sends Valora towards the corner, waiting a few moments and running after her. Valora reaches the corner and hops up to the turnbuckle and jumps off in a moonsault like move, Lightning sees it coming and jumps into a flying crossbody block and the two wrestlers collide in mid air hard before hitting the mat hard as both Umbrage and Greer start calling for tags into the match.]
Jack Gene - Well no time wasted here as the speed members of both teams mix it up to start us off and holy crap, Bill! Did you see Valora jump over Johnny Lightning at his full height?
Bill Hughes - That was awesome! Though next time she should totally do a Mario stomp! I would pay money to see that.
[In the ring, Johnny Lightning and Valora slowly get to their feet and glance at each other, trading right hands until Valora blocks the right hand from Lightning and nails him with a vicious Right elbow strike, a fraction of a second later bringing the same elbow back into the other side of Johnny Lightning's face, the end result being hitting him with two vicious elbow strikes with almost no recovery time in between. Lightning lashes out with a right hand, but Valora ducks under the right hand and runs behind him, jumping up and hitting him in the back sending him tumbling to the mat by his corner. Greer reaches over and makes the tag and the crowd goes wild as the big man steps into the ring. Umbrage tosses the lead pipe into the ring and Valora catches it, smirking as she urges Greer to come at her. Greer charges and tries for a lariat that would have taken Valora's head off it had hit but Valora ducks under it and as Greer turns around Valora hits Greer in the left knee with a dropkick, bringing him down to a knee. Valora jumps up to her feet and slams her lead pipe into the back and shoulder of Greer, hitting him three times before he grabs Valora by the throat and headbutts Valora, stunning her for a moment as he takes the lead pipe and smirks, turning around and leveling Valora with a discus blow from the lead pipe. Meanwhile, Johnny Lightning drops down and digs under the ring and pulls out a couple of boards, grinning as he turns them over, revealing them to be nail beds.]
Jack Gene - Vicious shot by Greer taking Valora down! She's going to be out of it for awhile! It looked like she leaned back a bit and thus didn't catch the full force of it which is good as full force would have likely cracked her skull.
Bill Hughes - What the hell is Umbrage standing around for? This is Hardcore rules, get in there and help your sexy partner for Pete's sake! Or maybe go and impale Johnny Lightning on those nails... that would be good too.
[Greer drags Valora to her feet, Valora bleeding from her head a bit already due to the shot she just took and at the moment is out on her feet. Greer turns her to face the crowd and makes fun of her before lifting her up and throwing her over the ropes and out of the ring to the floor. Umbrage enters the ring with his chair and stands behind Greer, loading up to hit him. Greer turns around and BAM! Umbrage nails him with the chair, denting the chair and stunning Greer a bit. Umbrage winds up again and whacks him again, denting the chair even further. Umbrage drops the chair on the mat and kicks Greer in the gut before hitting a DDT on the chair, getting up and playing to the crowd who cheers loudly. On the floor, meanwhile, Johnny Lightning pulls Valora up to her feet and slaps her in the face, yelling at her before walking her to the bed of nails. He grins at the crowd before hiptossing Valora, sending her onto the first bed, eliciting a scream of pain and some laughter from her. Johnny stares at her, slightly unnerved by the laughter but takes the other bed of nails and slams that onto her as well, before hopping up onto the ring apron and diving off, hitting a 450 splash onto the bed of nails sandwhiching Valora in between them, an inhuman scream and more maniacal laughter coming from in between the nail beds as Johnny Lightning stands up, obviously a bit nervous as Valora tries to fight her way off and out of the nails.]
Jack Gene and Bill Hughes (In unison): Holy [bleep]!
Jack Gene - My God almighty! Valora has been sandwhiched between two beds of nails! That's a career ender for most wrestlers folks and she's laughing.. she's laughing about it...
Bill Hughes - Yeah and I think Lightning just [bleep] his pants a bit.
Jack Gene - Whoa! Did you see the look of horror on Umbrage's face?
[Umbrage dashes out of the ring, and right to Valora, booting Johnny Lightning in the back of the head. Valora still chuckles to herself, as Umbrage takes precision in lifting and releasing Valora from the bed of nails in her chest.]
Jack Gene - If anyone knows that kind of pain, it's Umbrage. You can see it all over his chest, but to have it happen to his protege...
Bill Hughes - I hope she didn't pop anything.
Jack Gene - BILL!
[Umbrage tosses the one bed aside, and pulls Valora to her feet, mumbling something to her. She nods, and he pulls the second bed from her back, as she lets out a moan of pain, and the trails of blood become instantly visible.]
Jack Gene - My God, Bill. Look at the blood flowing from Valora. That's going to come into play in this match for sure.
Bill Hughes - You think? But we have answered one big question here tonight folks. Valora's ample cleavage is 100% natural! No way implants would've taken that abuse!
Jack Gene - I would say something, but I know it's useless here...
[Greer comes out to Ringside and he and Umbrage begin trading punches Valora stands still a moment, seemingly in shock as she stares at Johnny Lightning before backing up and as he begins to get up, Valora charges forward and nails him with her running punt kick, sending him toppling back to the floor. Valora continues to stare at him and reaches into her pocket and pulls out her trademark boxcutter, bringing a loud cheer from the crowd.]
Jack Gene - Umm...I don't like that boxcutter in Valora's hand with that look she has in her eyes...
Bill Hughes - BOOM! That I.C.E. Breaker was great! Huh? What are you... umm... viewers at home with small children might want to send them to bed now...
[Valora straddles Lightning and holds the blade to his throat. Johnny Lighting tries to fight and is saved by Greer who kicks Umbrage in the groin and then runs over and boots Valora in the head, sending her toppling off of Johnny Lightning. Greer pulls Valora to her feet and she hits a low blow on the man before standing up and jabbing her boxcutter into his right shoulder before cutting down in a vicious slash along his right arm, opening up a big cut. Greer growls and swings a massive left handed punch but Valora drops down into the splits and punches him in the groin again before coming up a bit and forward rolling past Greer coming up to her feet just in time to be hit with a dropkick from Johnny Lightning.]
Jack Gene - And it's official folks, Valora has snapped and has turned off the switch of what few morals she has. I do not envy Team Danger right now. I almost feel sorry for them.
Bill Hughes - This match just got ten times better.
[Umbrage runs up and grabs Lightning before taking him to the ground with a belly to back suplex. Valora gets up only to be grabbed by Greer who whips her towards one of the ringposts but Valora hops up onto the Apron and then turns and jumps off, landing on Greer's shoulders and taking him down with a spinning headscissors, slamming him face first into the steel ring steps. Valora reaches under the ring and pulls out a ladder, sliding into the ring and setting it up as Greer gets to his feet, looks at Valora and shakes his head, moving over and clubbing Umbrage in the back as he and Lightning double team Umbrage. Valora slides down the ladder and inches it a bit closer to the three of them out side and backs up to the corner, signaling to the crowd...]
Jack Gene - No.... she can't be serious...
Bill Hughes - Yes! Do it Val! Do it!!
[Valora grabs the steel chair left in the ring by Umbrage and sprints forward full speed running up the ladder in a fluid motion and launching into a Running Shooting Star Press, holding the chair to her chest as she lands, slamming into all three men, resulting in all four competitors being on the ground in a heap. Chants of "WMW! WMW! WMW! and "That was Awesome!" break out from the crowd. Valora inches forward and pulls herself over Greer. John Law makes the count...
One.....Two....Greer kicks out.]
Jack Gene - My God! Valora is pulling out all the stops here folks, even hurt as she is, she's making every effort to win and pulled off a big time move there!
Bill Hughes - I'm in love... and I'm officially agreeing with Valora. She is a wrestling GODDESS!
[Umbrage picks up Johnny Lightning and slams him into the corner turnbuckle, before placing Johnny up top. As Umbrage steps up onto the top rope, he signals, and Valora quickly climbs the ladder in the center of the ring.
Jack Gene - My God, Bill. Look at the blood flowing from Valora. That's going to come into play in this match for sure.
Bill Hughes - You think? But we have answered one big question here tonight folks. Valora's ample cleavage is 100% natural! No way implants would've taken that abuse!
Jack Gene - I would say something, but I know it's useless here...
[Greer comes out to Ringside and he and Umbrage begin trading punches Valora stands still a moment, seemingly in shock as she stares at Johnny Lightning before backing up and as he begins to get up, Valora charges forward and nails him with her running punt kick, sending him toppling back to the floor.

[Umbrage runs up and grabs Lightning before taking him to the ground with a belly to back suplex. Valora gets up only to be grabbed by Greer who whips her towards one of the ringposts but Valora hops up onto the Apron and then turns and jumps off, landing on Greer's shoulders and taking him down with a spinning headscissors, slamming him face first into the steel ring steps.

Valora slides down the ladder and inches it a bit closer to the three of them out side and backs up to the corner, signaling to the crowd...]
Jack Gene - No.... she can't be serious...
Bill Hughes - Yes! Do it Val! Do it!!
[Valora grabs the steel chair left in the ring by Umbrage and sprints forward full speed running up the ladder in a fluid motion and launching into a Running Shooting Star Press, holding the chair to her chest as she lands, slamming into all three men, resulting in all four competitors being on the ground in a heap. Chants of "WMW! WMW! WMW! and "That was Awesome!" break out from the crowd. Valora inches forward and pulls herself over Greer. John Law makes the count...

Bill Hughes - I'm in love... and I'm officially agreeing with Valora. She is a wrestling GODDESS!
[Umbrage picks up Johnny Lightning and slams him into the corner turnbuckle, before placing Johnny up top. As Umbrage steps up onto the top rope, he signals, and Valora quickly climbs the ladder in the center of the ring.
Jack Gene - This is NOT going to be good for Johnny Lightning!
Bill Hughes - No it's not. It looks like... YES! IT IS!
[Umbrage lifts up Johnny Lightning and hits a Riot Act spinebuster on him off the top rope, right to the mat. Umbrage rolls out of the way as Valora leaps off the top of the ladder, connecting with the Aztec moonsault, and covers for a pin. The John Law counts.]
John Law - One... Two...[As John Law's arm comes down to count three, Stephen Greer dives in with an axhandle chop to break up the pin.]
Jack Gene - That was close! Greer saved it for Team Danger right there!
Bill Hughes - He sure did, Jack. His goose was cooked.
Jack Gene - That has to be the most mild analogy to ever escape your lips. Still with two near falls back to back, you have to say momentum is starting to swing to the Hardcore Icons.
[Greer pulls Valora off Johnny Lightning, who has more then a bit of Valora's blood on him and as Johnny Lightning rolls out of the ring to recover, Umbrage moves back to his corner. Greer throws a flurry of punches at Valora who ducks, dodges and weaves through them before finally running jumping onto the second rope and leaping in the air, turning nailing Greer with a punch that stops him for a second. Valora drops down and hits a drop toe hold on Greer, dropping him across the second rope. Valora smirks and tags in Umbrage before running and leaping into the air landing on Greer's back, before hopping off and Umbrage hits the same move, sending Greer off the ropes and to the mat. Valora and Umbrage pull Greer to his feet but he pie faces Valora, shoving her out of the way as he picks up Umbrage and slams him to the mat with a powerful spine buster. Valora runs in and Greer turns, catching her and driving her into Umbrage with another spinebuster, sending the Hardcore Icons rolling on the mat in pain as boos resound from the crowd at Team Danger turning things around.]
Jack Gene - Wow! Stephen Greer of Team Danger starting to take charge here! I think he just realized Team Danger's reign is in serious trouble here!
Bill Hughes - Of course it is. Valora and Umbrage aren't Hardcore wrestlers, they're not Hardcore Decent or Hardcore cool They are Hardcore ICONS.
[Outside the ring, Johnny Lightning uses the apron to pull himself to his feet, and shakes his head and pulls Umbrage out to the floor with him, before whipping the hardcore icon into the barricades before running in after him and hitting a shining wizard kick, charging in again and knocking Umbrage over the barricades and into the crowd, hopping in after him, pulling Umbrage to his feet and hitting a DDT on the concrete.
In the ring, Stephen Greer pulls Valora to her feet and takes her back down with a massive powerbomb. He adds a stomp to Valora's midsection to that and then covers her. John Law makes the count...
One.....Two....Valora kicks out!
[Greer pounds the mat in frustration and gets to his feet stomping Valora again and yelling at her.]
Greer - God Damn It! Stay down you spic [Bleep]!
[Pulling Valora to her feet once more locking her in a move similar to a set up for a rock bottom but Valora fights back, hitting Greer with a series of three quick elbow strikes to the head to get him dazed a bit before planting her steel toed combat boot int Greer's groin. Greer pops up enraged and begins throwing punches wildly once more getting more enraged as Valora again uses her speed, agility and quickness to dodge, duck and weave out of the way before jumping up and catching Greer with a Pele kick that stuns the big man, sending him staggering back a few steps. Valora is up to her feet and sends Greer into the ropes, running after him and ducking his attempt at a clothesline. They both hit the ropes and come at each other again, Greer trying for a spear this time but Valora leapfrogs him and both go into the ropes again. They run at each other and Greer picks Valora up, trying for a tilt a whirl backbreaker but Valora spins around him a couple of times before finally taking him down with a version of a tornado DDT. Valora rolls over to a knee, the blood loss starting to catch up with her but Greer is on the mat, panting hard as he tries to get back into things.]
Jack Gene - Amazing series by Valora there, using her speed and better conditioning to try and even the odds with Greer but you have to think the blood loss is starting to catch up with her... and we've lost sight of Umbrage and Johnny Lighting as they brawl through the crowd. We'll try to get cameras on them as soon as we can folks.
Bill Hughes - Well we've seen Valora bounce back from all sorts of stuff, being thrown through plate glass windows, the gates of hell match, but Stephen Greer certainly is pushing Valora to the limit here tonight..
[Suddenly, Umbrage comes running out from the entryway, slamming into one of the support posts and falling to the ground. Johnny Lighting comes out behind him, a big gash on his forehead. Johnny Lightning charges in after Umbrage, trying for a hurricanrana, but Umbrage counters with with a big time powerbomb on the entryway. Umbrage looks down and grins moving down the entryway and dropping down into the equipment area and brushes items off of a wooden table, moving and setting it up in position before making his way back up to Johnny Lightning, who has gotten to his feet, shaking his head. He meets Umbrage with a kick to gut the and a DDT to the entryway. He looks down and sees the table and gets an evil grin on his face as he stomps, aiming for Umbrage's neck before dropping down into the equipment area and digging around, finding a can of lighter fluid and spraying it all over the table before grabbing a lighter and tossing it on the table, setting it ablaze. Johnny makes his way back to Umbrage and pulls him to his feet, leading him to the higher ground above the table and punches him, sending Umbrage teetering on the edge. He backs up and charges toward Umbrage who meets him with a boot to the gut, halting his attack, and then lifting him up into a fireman's carry as Umbrage turns to face the edge, with Johnny Lightning on his back and cries out "Detroit rules Bitch!" before jumping off the edge turning the fireman's carry into a sitdown piledriver through the burning table, both men crying out as they quickly roll off the ruins of the table, and are dosed by WMW staff with fire extinguishers as the crowd utters another chant of "WMW! WMW! WMW! and "Holy Shit!"]
Jack Gene - Detroit Breakdown! Detroit Breakdown through a burning table! Umbrage sending a message to Team Danger here tonight but both men are down and out for the moment after that move!
Bill Hughes - That's right! WMW Bitches! Johnny played with fire and got burned!
Jack Gene - ...You're really going there?
Bill Hughes - I could mention how Johnny tried to be nimble, tried to be quick but couldn't put Umbrage through the big ass candlestick (Also known as a Flaming table in this analogy.)
[Jack opens his mouth to say something but just shakes his head and laughs a bit. While that exchange between Umbrage and Johnny Lightning happened, in the ring Valora slowly gets back to her feet and runs to the ropes, as Greer gets to his feet, Valora grabs him and drives his face into a mat with a diving facebuster, before hopping up to her feet running into the opposite ropes and as Greer raises his head, Valora is there with a dropkick before she rolls out of the ring. The crowd noise and Detroit Breakdown, cause both fighters to look to the entryway. Greer's eyes widen in his partner and then narrow as he glances down at Valora who reaches under the ring and bends over, hiding the weapon she pulled out, her back to the ring. Greer reaches over the ropes and grabs Valora by the hair and Valora swings upward and back, cracking Greer in the face with a barbed wire 2x4, bringing a roar from the crowd as Valora spins around and swings cracking Stephen Greer in the left knee with the barbed wire 2x4, sending him to the mat clutching his knee, bleeding from both places as Valora slides into the ring and clubs him in the left knee again before hitting him in the back a couple of times and smirks as she runs to the turnbuckle and hops up before jumping off into her Aztec Moonsault move, clutching the barbed wire 2x4 to her chest and landing on Greer as he rolls over onto his back, immediately going into the cover, keeping the barbed wire sandwhiched between her and Greer as John Law drops down and makes the count...
One....Two....Thno!!
John Law pops up at the last second and notices Greer's foot is on the ropes and breaks the count, Valora slams the mat in frustration and grabs John Law, yelling at him to count faster.]
Jack Gene - Wow! I mean... what more can you say about this match folks! It has not taken these two teams long to hate each other and they are beating each other bloody here... I give my vote for 'Most Extreme Pin' to Valora for pinning Greer, with BARBED Wire caught in between the two of them! That hurt both wrestlers, but somehow, Stephen Greer was able to get his foot on the bottom rope. Great ring awareness by the crafty veteran there, who has about 8 years of experience on Valora.
Bill Hughes - Well, yeah... but what Valora lacks in experience she makes up for with almost inhuman athletic ability! She has Greer right where she wants him...
[As Valora is arguing with the ref, Greer very carefully places the barbed wire 2x4 and then walks up behind Valora grabbing her from behind as he places his head under her right arm and lifts her up, dropping her on her head and neck on the barbed wire. He drags her into the middle of the ring and goes for the cover, John Law dropping down, making the count....
One....Two... Thr-
Umbrage dives in from out the camera view and drops an elbow on Greer, breaking the pin up as the crowd cheers loudly. Greer gets up and stares Umbrage down, the crowd chanting "Umbrage! Umbrage! Umbrage!" Both men are cut and bleeding from various areas of their body. The two trade punches, while John Law checks on Valora who is writhing on the mat in pain though when the camera shows her face, her facial expressions change from pain to laughing as she rolls over to her corner, trying to get back to her feet. Umbrage calls to Valora and hits Greer in the midsection with a knee and then whips him towards Valora but Greer reverses the whip, sending Umbrage towards Valora instead. Umbrage ducks down in a spear move and Valora runs forward and steps on Umbrage who stands up as she jumps, catapulting Valora into the air... Greer reaches down and grabs the barbed wire 2x4 and takes a baseball swing, breaking the 2x4 as he hits Valora in mid air in the midsection, forcing Valora to the mat hard, where she rolls around in pain, holding her midsection, blood coming out of her mouth.]
Jack Gene - Oh God! Alright! This is starting to get out of hand! These two teams are going to kill each other!!
Bill Hughes - Not if the Icons kill Team In Danger first!!
Jack Gene - Yeah... look at Valora and tell me how long she can last, even tough as she is?
[Johnny Lighting makes his way back down to the ring as well and climbs up slowly to Team Danger's corner as Greer points to Valora and laughs, simulating hitting a home run. Umbrage narrows his eyes and charges forward but Greer beats him to the punch, running forward and nailing Umbrage with a lariat that sends Umbrage inside out and causes him to land flat on his face, where he doesn't move. Greer places his foot on Umbrage and rolls him out of the ring, walking over to his corner and tagging in Johnny Lightning and as Lightning comes in, Greer walks over and sits on the steel steps, winded from the match. Lightning keeps the attack on Valora's midsection going by jumping up onto the ropes and springboarding off into his 630 corkscrew legdrop, going into the cover right away...
One....Two....ThrNO!!
Valora reaches up at the last second, only barely getting her shoulder off the mat in time as she grabs the bottom rope, causing Johnny Lightning to jump to his feet and argues with the ref. Meanwhile, Valora gets to her feet, slipping a pair of brass knuckles onto her right hand. The crowd gets into it with cries of "Valora's gonna kill you!" Greer shouts from his corner for his partner to look out, but as Johnny Lightning turns Valora decks him with the brass knuckles, sending Johnny Lightning tumbling to the mat hard. Valora wastes no time and runs to the ropes, walking up before brushing her shoulder off and dropping her brass knuckled fist into Lightning's face, getting back up to her feet, removing the knuckles and slipping them back into her pocket, clutching at her midsection, trying to breathe.]
Jack Gene - Yeah... yeah Bill I think Valora is actually hurt in this match...
Bill Hughes - Yeah... the Hardcore Icons need to win this match and soon. Fortunately, Greer's knee is hurting him again and he also is tiring and Lightning has been beaten all to hell.
[Valora looks to her corner and sees Umbrage is still out of commission and winces in pain, looking back to Johnny Lighting who is spitting out blood from his nose that has run into his mouth and crawling towards his partner, diving and making the tag. Greer climbs in, limping a bit and grins to Valora. Valora looks around and sighs, narrowing her eyes and flipping Greer off with both hands. Greer narrows his eyes and runs forward, as best he can and tries for another Hellfire Lariat but Valora ducks and rolls under it, the force of his attempt and his bad knee knocking Greer off balance as Valora spins him around and rolls him up in an inside cradle...
One....Two....Three!!!!
The bell rings as Greer kicks out literally just after the three count. Greer is stunned as Valora jumps to her feet and the crowd nearly blows the roof off the WMW Arena. Greer looks around stunned and then narrows his eyes and charges Valora, who turns around just in time to get nailed with a Hellfire Lariat that sends her over the ropes and down to the floor where she lands in a heap. Lightning runs across the ring and springboards off the rope nailing Umbrage with a plancha as he begins to get to his feet. Greer drags Valora to her feet, who again, seems to be out on her feet and whips her as hard as he can into the barricades, running in with a shoulder to her midsection, again, and again, and again, after the third time, he picks her up and runs to the ringpost, slamming her into it before turning around and hitting a powerslam on the floor. He rolls Valora's unconscious body into the ring as Johnny does the same with Umbrage, entering after Umbrage, carrying Valora's lead pipe which he uses to beat Umbrage as Greer stomps and beats on Valora...]
Jack Gene - Holy Inside Cradle Bill! Did we see that? It seems we did, this match is over, Valora pinned Greer but is paying the price for it now, where the hell are the other WMW wrestlers? Dammit! We need help out here!!!
[Bill Hughes doesn't say anything but gets up and leads the crowd in another "WMW! WMW! WMW!" chant which gets quickly picked up by the crowd and AWS Man and Adam Pyre come running running out from the backstage area, AWS Man carrying Pen and Pyre carrying his orange tire iron. A few seconds after they come out, another group of WMW wrestlers comes out, including Gras-Dawg, Stormrider, Jade, Hecate, Ryven, Kronin, Eric Dillinger, Matrix and others. Team Danger rolls out of the ring and heads for the announce booth, grabbing the title belts and heading for a side exit, as the WMW wrestlers form a barrier around the ring while Pyre and AWS Man slide into the ring to check on their stablemates, AWS Man by Umbrage and Pyre by Valora. John Law waves for medics as Team Danger backs out of the arena, holding on to the belts they have just lost, yelling back to the ring. Wayne Inkster climbs into the ring, looking confused as the "WMW! WMW! WMW!" chants continue and grow in intensity.]
Wayne Inkster - Ladies and Gentlemen, your winners by pinfall, and the new World Wrestling Alliance World Tag Team Champions...THE HARDCORE ICONS!!!
[Medics run down to the ring as Umbrage gets up slowly and joins Pyre and AWS Man on checking on Valora. The WMW wrestlers break and let the medics through as Valora is put on a backboard and brace for precautionary measures and gently pushed under the ropes, onto the stretcher, which is immediately taken to the back of the arena..]
Jack Gene - God damn it... the Hardcore Icons won the match and those Defiance bastards went and stole the belts and they beat the crap out of the Hardcore Icons... Valora is out cold folks... likely from a combination of the blood loss and the savage beating she took in the match and during the aftermath... But thankfully... thankfully WMW stood as one and said "Not in our House." Look at it, WMW wrestlers who put aside their differences to help out fellow WMW wrestlers and send those Defiance cretins packing. Good to see...
Bill Hughes - Damn right... We really need to consider better security for those belts.... But I called it...whether they have the belts or not...WMW just kicked Defiance's ass and we got new WWA Tag Team champs. Suck on it Defiance.
[The crowd disperses, Hecate walking up to Umbrage and conversing with him and Pyre before the three of them walk to the back, AWS Man right behind them.]
Jack Gene - And here we see, Hecate and That Damn Awesome putting aside their differences as they go to the back to check on Valora's condition.
Bill Hughes - Good to see... I know I'm supposed to be a jackass here but I...don't have it in me...I'm too proud of what WMW accomplished here tonight and concerned for Valora. But I can't wait to see the fallout of this on Defiance's show... Eric Dane won't be happy at all... but again..Suck on it Defiance.
[The scene fades to black.]
