Hecate arrives at the WMW Arena
Writer: Hecate/Garvin[The camera view opens up on a number of WMW Security personal standing in front of the WMW Wrestlers entrance, all of them looking down the short hallway that leads to the parking area where voices could be heard approaching. The security personnel do not look too happy to be assigned this duty.]
Hecate - Look, the longer this goes on the more damage it does to WMW...
[Hecate and Brad Johnson turn the corner from the parking area into the hallway leading to the door and pause as they see the Security personnel. Hecate shakes her head sadly and looks at Brad Johnson. Brad Johnson looks at the security personnel and lets out a sigh.]
Brad Johnson - Sault St. Marie might be General Manager, for now, but I'm the one who signs your paychecks. I suggest you get out of the way and let us past.
[Hecate gives the security personal a sweet smile as they look at one another and then back to Brad Johnson and set aside, one of them even opening the door for Brad Johnson and Hecate. Hecate gives them another sweet smile as she saunters past into the building followed by Brad Johnson.]
Opening Commentary
Writer: Garvin
Jack Gene - Hello and welcome everyone to WMW Graveyard Shift 124! And we are coming to you live from the WMW Arena in Cleveland, Ohio here on Friday night. And Bill, as we just saw, Brad Johnson escorting Hecate into the arena, it's apparent that he's not going to let what took place last week happen again.
Bill Hughes - And it can't. Brad Johnson really looked weak last week, just taking what Sault St. Marie through at him, and didn't fight back. But, now Hecate's here. I wonder if we'll see Jordan Keyser arrive as well. He's also been rumored to have been banned from the arena by St. Marie.
Jack Gene - Well, I suppose we'll see how that will unfold later on tonight, but let's run down the card we have. Josh Briskout is here tonight, and he'll take on Lumberjack. Arick Wills takes on Emo Girl in what some are suggesting could be the next challengers for the Heartlands Championship. Plus, we also have Justin Lucky, who's also a front-runner of that race, takes on...
[Just then, "Wytches" by Inkubus Sukkubus start to play through the arena while on the videotron images start to flash past; images of 3 candles, owls, black sheep, crossroads, 3 masks, 3 torches, groves of willow and yew trees, the images cycling through as the song plays.]
Jack Gene - Oh, and Hecate not waisting any time getting out here.
Bill Hughes - You'd think she may consider playing it cool in the back, not making any noise in the back, but noooo...
Jack Gene - Well, you didn't actually expect her to be quiet.
[The Dark Priestess Hecate makes her way down to the ring dress in street clothes, taking a moment on her way to acknowledge the fans cheering for her at ringside before she climbs into the ring and takes a microphone from one of the attendants.]
Power Plays
Hecate - Right now Wrestling Midwest is at the cusp of a crossroads; right now the only people being hurt by this are the wrestlers in the back and all of the fans here in Cleveland, Ohio.
[Cheap pop.]
Hecate - While I can't speak for you all, I can say that those of us in the back who have been pushed around for Sault St. Marie's personal amusement are fed up with his drek. I came to Wrestling Midwest to wrestle, to fight, to compete... voted Ms. Tomorrow by you fans and I'm not even allowed to compete on the biggest show of the year, that's total...
[Suddenly the STO theme plays, cutting off the rest of Hecate's words as Sault St. Marie walks out of the back with a microphone in hand. Sault St. Marie has a slight arrogant smirk on his face as he looks down at Hecate in the ring. Hecate for her part, just glares back at Sault St. Marie.]
Sault St. Marie - Who let you in the building? You are not booked tonight, so...
Brad Johnson - Look, I think you're booking abilities, at times, can be top notch. But this?
Jack Gene - MTL4?!
[Fade into one of the many private locker rooms in the backstage area. This one occupied by the Lucky duo, and is decorated as such with green and black rugs, furniture and plenty of posters of various poker superstars. It's obvious that this particular room must be Justin's. The two twins are on the sofa, relaxing with a beer each, and suddenly Sault St. Marie, WMW General Manager, pops into view.]
Sault St. Marie - Oh, good, you're both in here. Fancy that.
[The two immediately look up. Justin makes a move to stand up, but Jasmine keeps him in place with a hand on his shoulder.]
Justin Lucky - Oh, uh, Mr. Marie! Er, St. Marie? Sault?
Jasmine Lucky - Hush, you're embarrassing yourself.
[Unamused, Sault moves in front of the duo, folding his arms over his shoulders.]
Sault St. Marie - I find it very interesting that you two insisted on separate locker rooms, yet this is the only one of the two that ever seems to be used. A very peculiar demand, is it not?
Jasmine Lucky - I like my private time, sometimes.
[Jasmine lets out a big, knowing grin, which makes Justin cringe uncomfortably. Sault remains unamused.]
Jasmine Lucky - But I'm sure you didn't come here to lecture us about using two locker rooms, did you? Surely we're too small time for the likes of the big bad General Manager, who spends his days chasing around the big names every Friday night.
Sault St. Marie - You would almost be absolutely right, at least on the fact you two are still small time. Which is why I was very curious when I heard you turned down my...offer of being in the Midwest Tag League.
Justin Lucky - We got bigger fish to fry then tag titles. I'm gonna be going for Nathan's belt on Hardcore Hell, I'm just waiting for the #1 Contendership match!
Sault St. Marie - Keep waiting. It wasn't an offer. I only signed you two for another three months because of the tag league. So if you want any kind of shot at a singles time, you need to fulfill the real purpose you're here. Filling a spot in that league.
[Jasmine and Justin exchange a glance. Justin is about to speak, clearly becoming annoyed, but Jasmine shushes him again.]
Jasmine Lucky - We respectfully decline. Again.
Sault St. Marie - And again, it wasn't an offer. You start next week. Be there, or go back to CMW.
[The two watch as Sault exits the room. He disappears just in time to avoid being hit by a thrown box of chocolates, presumably from Justin. Fade out on the annoyed Lucky Ones.]
[The scene opens up in Jade's locker room where we see her packing up. A knock on the door disturbs her and Jade looks up, calling for the visitor to come in and the door opens as Brad Johnson walks in. As he closes the door behind him, Jade's face shows no surprise, almost as if she was expecting this. She smirks a bit and nods.]
Jade - Ah. Finally the powers at war remember I exist. And here I was enjoying my life of quiet meditation.
[Brad Johnson blushes a moment, pausing for a moment before he finally speaks.]
Brad Johnson - Well, not exactly forgotten about you, Jade. It's hard to forget about you with the way you've-
[Jade raises a hand, cutting him off in mid-sentence.]
Jade - I am not a western fighter, Mr. Johnson. I do not need nor require my ego to be stroked. I am quite comfortable with my current position and my record speaks for itself. Without me, there would have been no Valora, no Druscilla, no Hecate. Now, we both know why you are here, so before we get too far off topic, let us go to that piece of business.
[Brad Johnson looks around and finally makes his way into the locker room a bit, taking a seat on a bench.]
Brad Johnson - You're a very smart person, Jade. And, having Vyper add his knowledge to that, I can see why you've done so well here. But, at the end of the day, you've got to see that Sault St. Marie is out of control. What I don't want to see happen is everyone just accept what he says as the path we're taking.
[Jade nods.]
Jade - Indeed.
[Brad Johnson sighs in relief, obviously glad Jade is agreeing with him so far. He adjusts his tie a bit and continues.]
Brad Johnson - Well... we need to resolve this problem and I'm working on a solution. One that I'm sure you know since Hecate and Kronin have both shown what side of the fight they are supporting. Being in your position, as Shoot Champion and a leader backstage, I'd like to know that we can count on you when the time comes to stand up to him. WMW needs you.
[Jade's face is emotionless as she listens to Brad Johnson. She is silent for a few long, awkward moments as she contemplates things before finally saying one, simple word.]
Jade - No.
[Brad Johnson blinks, obviously not expecting this and looks around, trying to regroup.]
Brad Johnson - No?
[Jade folds her hands on her lap and nods.]
Jade - I have concluded that you are just as a big a danger to the WMW as Sault St. Marie is. Therefore, your offer is not in the best interests of the WMW.
[Brad Johnson narrows his eyes a bit, standing up.]
Brad Johnson - I'm not sure I understand you, Jade. How exactly am I'm so bad and how staying out of this fight is in the best interests of WMW?
[Jade stands, narrowing her eyes as well.]
Jade - To be blunt, you are a corporate man, Mr. Johnson. Profits and bottom lines, budgets, these are the components of your world. They are what you do. You are a business man. Not show business, but the business of making money. Every chance you have had to be a leader here in this company, you have shown yourself to be weak, indecisive, unwilling to run the wrestling side of things. Now as harsh and rude as my words sound, I believe your reasons for this is you realize that you do not possess the skills to be a GM style leader. It's likely why Kronin and Hecate support you. Adding their knowledge of the wrestling business to your business acumen, and hoping to find a right mix to guide the company through this mess. It's admirable, if misguided and ultimately self-defeating. As for sitting the conflict out, I have no intention of doing that, but neither side really seems to meet the ideals I have in mind.
[Brad Johnson's face shows a look of genuine alarm as he shakes his head.]
Brad Johnson - Well, I can appreciate that. I understand your disinterest in not getting involved in this... business disagreement. However, I'm going to ask that you reconsider. Talk with Hecate. Talk with Kronin. And, feel free to talk with me. We can work together, Jade.
[Jade nods and her and Brad Johnson shakes hands before he turns and walks out of the locker room. Jade watches the door for a moment and sighs, nodding to herself. The scene fades.]
[Suddenly, 'Get Up' by 50 Cent plays over the speakers and Gras-Dawg walks out, with Amariie in tow, a very pissed off look on her face, and wearing a long overcoat that covers her entire body almost. The crowd goes wild as Gras-Dawg dances around at the entryway for a bit, Amariie rolling her eyes in barely contained disgust.]
Jack Gene - Wow! A surprise visit from Gras-Dawg! His appearances have sadly been few and far in between here on these shows, we hear that's because he has been spending a lot of time in his hometown of New Orleans, helping out with the cleanup efforts there. We're told he has lent his aid to a number of charitable organizations down there, such as habitat for humanity, various cleanup crews for the oil spill, and other listings that he has down here that I don't think I can mention on television other to say 'boosting morale'
Bill Hughes - Heh, he's certainly boosting my morale now! I can't wait to find out what Amariie is wearing under that overcoat!
[The duo makes their way down to the ring and Gras-Dawg even leans on the middle rope, holding the rope open for Amariie, who cautiously ducks under and enters the ring. Gras-Dawg comes in after her and grabs a mic as he looks around at the crowd.]
Gras-Dawg - Yeah, alright! Yo Cleveland, what's up?!
[The crowd pops big time as Amariie looks like she's about to gag. Gras-Dawg turns around and faces Amariie.]
Gras-Dawg - A'ight sugah. We all know why we here. You and me... we had us an agreement about our match. You failed to take mah title from me, so as such you now got two choices. You admit dat I was da better wrestler dat night and I give you dis back-
[Gras-Dawg reaches into his back pocket and pulls out the copy of Amariie's contract stipulating the match agreement. Amariie shakes her head no, violently. Gras-Dawg grins.]
Gras-Dawg - A'ight... if ya dun wanna do dat... den take off dat coat girl and show all these people your new 'official Gras-Dawg escort' uniform!!
[The crowd pops big time, cheering for Amariie to take off her coat. Amariie stares murderously at Gras-Dawg and grabs a mic herself.]
Amariie - No! You...you.. you insipid little street thug! I will NOT be paraded around as your private little harlot!
Jack Gene - Well, it seems Amariie has a choice here, she now seems to be trying to decide on which is less humiliating to her personally.
Bill Hughes - Oh please let her take off the coat! It's horribly demeaning, but we'd get to see that awesome body of Amariie's!!
[Gras-Dawg grins and shrugs.]
Gras-Dawg - Those the two choices you got sugah. You talk bout honor and all dat... attack me for being some honorless punk... you tink you better then me on dat front...prove it.
[Amariie grits her teeth and glares daggers at Gras-Dawg.]
Amariie - Fine. Sorry to disappoint all the perverts in the audience here, well not reall, but...you were.....better then me. On that night. Next time we meet, you might not be so lucky. And believe me, WHEN I beat you, what I do to you will make this minor humiliation seem like a stroll in the park.
[The crowd boos and Gras-Dawg stands there for a moment thinking and then nods, walking up and handing Amariie the contract.]
Gras-Dawg - A'ight. Fair enough. Gras-Dawg's a man of his word. You free to go to da back, get changed and do what you do.
[The crowd boos more chanting for Gras-Dawg to change his mind as Amariie looks at Gras-Dawg stunned, and then at the contract.]
Amariie - Hmm... interesting. For what it's worth, you surprised me by living up to your part of the deal. But don't expect any mercy from me when I beat you. My family was never really known for being merciful.
[Amariie tucks the contract into her pocket and heads out of the ring, trying to hurry without making it look like she is, making her way to the backstage area as Gras-Dawg remains in the ring and looks around.]
Gras-Dawg - Now dat, dat piece of biness is done... I may not always be here in person, but I watch me the film of what's going on and I see quite a few fools in da back are thinkin' dat they be da new hotness. Well, boys, Da big Dawg here is still da champ, so take a long, hard look. Cause any of you all dat get shit goin and get a title shot... gotta go through me. Da Big Dawg is here and he lookin' to take someone apart.
[Gras-Dawg drops the mic and holds up both his arms as he stands tall in the ring for a few moments before sliding out of the ring and making his way to the back.]
Jack Gene - Well, agree with it or not, Gras-Dawg proved a man of his word. Personally, I think he made a mistake here. Amariie has needed a lesson in humility for a long time and if the roles were reversed, she would not have let Gras-Dawg off so easily.
Bill Hughes - Well I agree but only because I wanted to see Amariie's huge-
Jack Gene - Bill!
Bill Hughes - What!? Lilly and Roxie get to threaten to use each other in a promo that could easily have been for one of those porno sites on the web in CMW and I can't say that I admire Amariie's huge boobies?
Jack Gene - No, you don't.
Bill Hughes - I just did. And the FCC can kiss my-
Jack Gene - And I think right about now is a good time for a commercial break folks!
[The shot opens up in the back where Marty Poppins is looking up at a stick he is holding. He cautiously lowers the stick as a string with a hook on it dangles. He then lowers it into the drinking fountain. Just then, referee Stephen Tyler walks into the scene. He looks at Poppins and shakes his head.]
[The shot opens up in the ring as Marty, referee Stephen Tyler and Wayne Inkster stand in the center of the ring. Inkster announces the next match and introduces Poppins, who gets a mixed reaction.]
[The camera focuses in on Poppins, as he tries to convince the ref to give him back his fishing pole. The ref pushes him away. Xavier Langston pulls him around, and just as he does Poppins swings wildly with a right hand, but Langsotn blocks it and responds with a palm strike to the face which sends Poppins stumbling backwards.]
[Langston, from his knees, beckons for the microphone from Inkster. Wayne obliges, handing it to Da Man as he kneels over the prone body of Marty Poppins.]
"Da Man" Xavier Langston - CUT DA MUSIC!
[The music fades out.]
"Da Man" Xavier Langston - Ya see dis, Cleveland? Dis is what it means ta be Da Man. Walk in, smack around some foo' like dis guy...
[As he points to Marty Poppins, Xavier comes to a full standing position.]
"Da Man" Xavier Langston - ...an' walk out wit' my hand held high.
[Xavier walks to the center of the ring.]
"Da Man" Xavier Langston - An dis is jus' the beginnin', brothas an' sistas. Empires wern't built in a day, an' dis one ain't gon' be no exception. It's gon' be one day after another of me breakin' suckas off somethin' propa like. An' rung by rung, I'mma climb dat ladder an' take one o' those shiny-lookin' titles fo' my own.
[A slight pause from Xavier before he continues.]
"Da Man" Xavier Langston - Now my understandin' is dat I've been placed in somethin' called the Heartlands division. A'ight, fine. Guess dat means dat dis Dirty South foo' Gras-Dawg is da unlucky sucka in my sights.
[Xavier turns to the entranceway and focuses on the back.]
"Da Man" Xavier Langston - So, Dawg, check dis. I ain't gon' jump my place in line. I'mma beat up each an' every otha sucka in da line, whether it's Thomas Kilik, Arick Wills, o' dat fine piece o' [BLEEP] Amariie, each an' every one o' dem is gonna be left layin', till it's you an' me, one on one. That's when you gon' find out dat I am DA MAN...
[Pause, presumably for the catchphrase.]
"Da Man" Xavier Langston - An' MY WILL...IS...LAW!
["Breathe" by Fabolous starts up again as Langston throws the mic back to Wayne Inkster before he rolls out of the ring and walks to the back. The scene fades as medics go into the ring to check on Poppins.]
[The scene shows a 2010 Maybach Zeppelin begins pulling into the parking garage area. The 2010 Maybach Zeppelin begins to slow down and comes to a stop. Slowly the driver opens his door, and out steps the limo driver. The limo driver proceeds to make his way to the back of the Maybach and opens the backseat driver side door. Out steps Damian Knight and he extends his hand out to the limo driver. The limo driver shakes Damain Knight's hand.]
Damian Knight – Thank you for your professionalism during the drive here.
Limo Driver - Well, thank you sir...
[Out of no where Arick Wills arrives to the arena in his rental car. Arick Wills parks his car near the Maybach and gets out of the car. Arick Wills begins to make his way into the arena where he is interrupted by Damian Knight.]
Arick Wills – You again… Did you not learn your lesson last week?
Damian Knight – Man, you got the wrong idea. I am simple trying to show you some support here in WMW. I just want you to do well here. I will let you slide with what happen last week. I normally would kick your ass for what you did to me, but I am not trying to go there with you. I just think you have a lot of potential, and just would like to see you kick ass here in WMW. I have been watching you and I am a big supporter. You know Arick, I even wouldn't mind being in your corner on a regular basis to show you how much I support you. I am willing to do anything in my power to help you get to the top of WMW.
Arick Wills – Well, I don't need you or anybody else to help me get to the top of WMW. I am "The King of Wrestling", what the hell would I need a bloody loser like you for?
Damian Knight – Please keep in mind Arick, that I am a former Heartlands Champion, two time Ace Superior Champion, and a Hall of Famer.
Arick Wills – Please keep in mind, Damian…
[Out of no where Arick Wills kicks Damian Knight in his shin. Damian Knight yells in pain. Arick Wills quickly then grabs the arm of MOD and brings him down to the ground in the parking lot and applies the Magnificent Crossface. MOD begins to yell in pain and yells, "LET ME GO!!!!" Arick Wills has a zoned out look in his eyes as he wrenches back on the neck of Damian even more. The King of Wrestling now decides to let go. Arick Wills makes it back to his feet and begins to examine his damage.]
Arick Wills – Please keep in mind that I will cripple you if you don't stay out of my way. Last warning, MOD!
[Arick Wills exits the scene as paramedics now make there way into the scene to check on MOD as the camera fades.]
[The shot opens up backstage as Louie Cwik stands next to Marty Poppins.]
Louie Cwik - Marty, I was hoping to talk to you about...
Marty Poppins - Hey, do you have some change?
[Cwik looks at him with shifty eyes.]
Louie Cwik - ...what?
[Poppins lunges towards him, which scares Cwik a bit.]
Marty Poppins - Some change! Do you have change?
[Cwik stumbles backwards.]
Louie Cwik - No, not on me.
[Poppins sighs loudly.]
Marty Poppins - See, I HAD bus fare, but I tripped and it fell down a sewer grate which is why my clothed are so dirty, and I have to get to Milwaukee because my license is set to expire, and heeeeeey...I DON'T TALK TO COPS MAN!
[Cwik shakes his head and leaves the room. The scene fades.]
[The shot opens up inside of the ring.]
Bill Hughes – Up next we have Emo Girl VS. "The King of Wrestling" Arick Wills. This should be an interesting meeting between these two.
["What It's Like" by Everlast begins to play over the loud speaker, causing the crowd to break into a mixed reaction. The Emo Girl walks out with one hand up in the air, playing off of the crowd. She slaps hands with the audience as she walks down the aisle, wearing a black tank top and athletic shorts.]
Wayne Inkster – Currently making her way down the aisle, EMO GIRL!!!!
Jack Gene – I am in heaven. Her perkiness. Her ponytail. I love it all.
Bill Hughes – I don't know why you or the fans like this girl. There is nothing special about this gothic like girl.
["Breakeven" by The Script plays over the P.A. system as "The King of Wrestling" Arick Wills makes his way down to the ring in a fancy robe.]
Wayne Inkster – Currently making his way down the aisle, ARICK WILLS!!!!
Bill Hughes – Arick Wills has been very intense as of late. Emo Girl has a very big challenge on her hands tonight.
Jack Gene - …..Just look at her. She is so breath taking.
[The bell rings, and both wrestlers circle each other. Emo Girl and Wills chain wrestle for a bit, but Arick pushes Emo Girl into the ropes, causes a break, and cheap shots her with an elbow. Arick locks in an arm bar submission, but Emo Girl quickly reverses. The King of Wrestling fights out, but neither wrestler can gain an advantage.]
Jack Gene – Come on Emo Girl. You got this. Don't let Arick Wills get the best of you baby. You are so much better than him.
Bill Hughes – [shaking his head] Well, back to the action.
[Flash Forward // Arick Wills hits a big European uppercut, but he walks right into a series of elbows and a big forearm from Emo Girl. Wills goes for a clothesline, but Emo Girl ducks it. Emo Girl quickly goes to the ropes and rebounds off connecting with a flying forearm onto The King of Wrestling.]
Jack Gene – We just witnessed the sexiest flying forearm of all time.
Bill Hughes – WHAT?!?
Jack Gene – Stop interrupting me Bill. Can't you see I'm busy watching my baby's match?
Bill Hughes – [shaking his head] Unbelievable.
[Flash Forward // Arick begins to work over Emo's arm and shoulder, locking in a modified rear chin lock with an arm bar. Emo begins to fight back with a couple of chops, but Arick responds with a quick DDT and goes for the pinfall. Arick Wills gets a good near fall, but Emo Girl pops out at two and a half. The King of Wrestling brings Emo to her feet, but out of no where Emo Girl comes right back with a series of forearms, and an inverted atomic drop. A flying clothesline drops Wills. Moments later as Arick Wills gets to his feet; Emo Girl whips Wills into the corner. Emo Girl follows Arick Wills in with a cartwheel into flying elbow smash into turnbuckle connecting with a Gothic Cartwheel.]
Jack Gene- Aww man, just look at the sweat drip off her body as she gives Arick Wills the ass whipping he so deserves.
Bill Hughes – This crush you have on Emo Girl is starting to be ridiculous, Jack.
Jack Gene – Did you say something, Bill?
[Flash Forward // Arick is able to fight his way up to his feet and out of a sleeper hold, with a series of elbows and right hands. Arick takes Emo Girl down with a couple of clotheslines, and a huge belly to belly suplex. Arick tries for the cover but only gets two. Moments later Arick attempts to whip Emo into the corner, but she counters and whips Wills into the corner instead. Out of no where Arick explodes out of the corner with a big lariat. Arick hooks in a waist lock, then hits a big release German suplex and he holds on, connecting with a second, and a third. Arick Wills then floats over into a pinfall attempt, but moments later Emo Girl pops out at two.]
Jack Gene – My baby still has fight left. She is going to win this match.
Bill Hughes – Don't count Arick Wills out, especially when he is in his zone.
Jack Gene – Did you say something, Bill?
[Flash Forward // Emo tries for a high risk move, but she jumps into an inverted atomic drop. Arick Wills goes for another pinfall on Emo Girl, but only gets a two count once again. The King of Wrestling signals for the end as he taunts the crowd. As Emo Girl makes it back to her feet, Arick Wills turns her around and connects with a boot to the midsection. The King of Wrestling goes for the Bow Down (The Pedigree), but Emo Girl digs deep and tackles Wills into the corner to counter the finisher. Emo Girl with shoulder blocks in the corner, but out of no where Wills connects with a kneelift catching Emo off guard. Emo Girl is sent to the apron. Arick Wills goes to the ropes and rebounds off. Arick Wills attempts to knock Emo off the apron, but Emo Girl uses Arick's momentum and flies back in with a springboard shoulder block from the apron. Emo Girl takes advantage of the fallen Arick Wills and applies her submission finisher, The Pentagram (Surfboard Stretch). But, Arick Wills rolls out of it before she can lock in the submission fully. Arick finds a way to take advantage of the situation and mounts Emo Girl. Wills begins to connect with forearm shots, but out of no where Emo Girl takes her legs and hooks the arms of Arick and pulls him down to the mat. Emo Girl surprises The King of Wrestling and clutches in a roll up. Luna Pier gets into position to count the pinfall. …1! …2! …3!]
Jack Gene – Yes, my baby wins the match. Just like I knew she would.
Bill Hughes – She got lucky here tonight. It's all luck.
Wayne Inkster – Here is your winner by pinfall, EMO GIRL!!!!
[Emo Girl is excited and bounces on the outside of the ring. As she passes by the announcer's table, she blows a kiss at Jack Gene.]
Bill Hughes – Does she realize that your damn near a fossil?
Jack Gene - ...
Thomas Kilik - What, you thought that everything would be fine? That life would be allpeachy? Well life isn't peachy in Kilik-ville. And if you thought that I was done with you...well, perhaps I'm going to have to show you what you get into when you try to mess with me.
[Thomas Kilik shifts his eyes…]
Thomas Kilik - Hardcore Hell. They say that Kilik doesn't do hardcore. Hell, I've said that I don't do hardcore. But hardcore throws a good twist into the story. And we all know all stories need twists. So let's mix it up. You and me at Hardcore Hell. The stipulation? Before you can win the match, your opponent must be bleeding. It's first blood and pure wrestling all rolled into one. I assume you agree. You're in no position to bargain anyway.
[Thomas Kilik chuckles as he drops the mic. Kilik begins to exit the ring as paramedics come down to the ring. The scene begins to fade.]
[Lumberjack struggles to get free, causing Wire to slam him in the face with a right hand. Thad shakes his head and paces aorund.]
[Suddenly the STO theme plays, cutting off the rest of Hecate's words as Sault St. Marie walks out of the back with a microphone in hand. Sault St. Marie has a slight arrogant smirk on his face as he looks down at Hecate in the ring. Hecate for her part, just glares back at Sault St. Marie.]
Sault St. Marie - Who let you in the building? You are not booked tonight, so...
[He pauses and smiles.]
Sault St. Marie - By the way, it's "Mr. Tomorrow", and just going by the rumors in the back, I think that's a pretty accurate statement.
[The crowd boos.]
Sault St. Marie - But, you know, maybe you're right, Hecate. I mean, you are a former Heartlands Champion. The longest reigning Heartlands Champion. You've obviously put yourself on the map by doing well inside of this ring, and who am I, really, to say you shouldn't be out here competing. Because, you should be. You should be competing, in front of the entire Wrestling Midwest fan base.
[Just then, Thad Williams leads John Bundy and Bob Wire out onto the stage.]
Sault St. Marie - And, why wait? I say, we do this now.
Jack Gene - But, she's not dressed to compete. She's still in her street clothes.
Bill Hughes - Apparently, Sault plans on making this a lot more difficult for Hecate then she had hoped for.
[Wire and Bundy head out to the ring.]
Sault St. Marie - Hecate vs. John Bundy and Bob Wire. It's a win/win. You get what you want... and I'll get to watch you get...
[Just then, Brad Johnson appears on the stage.]
Brad Johnson - All right, Sault.
Jack Gene - It's Brad Johnson!
[Sault turns and looks towards him. Hecate stands in the ring waiting for Bundy and Wire to climb in.]
Brad Johnson - Look, I think you're booking abilities, at times, can be top notch. But this?
[He points to the ring.]
Brad Johnson - I don't know, it just seems like it's a little short-sighted. You've got Bundy and Wire, one tag team, going up against one-half of The Celestial Avatars, and...
[He puts his right hand on the back of his head as he looks around thoughtfully.]
Brad Johnson - I guess I just don't get why you wouldn't make this match open up MTL4?
Jack Gene - MTL4?!
Sault St. Marie - Brad, I think...
[Johnson steps closer to him and interrupts him.]
Brad Johnson - Actually, I think that's an awesome idea. Ladies and Gentlemen...
[He turns towards the crowd.]
Brad Johnson - Tonight, we begin the 4th edition of the Midwest Tag League Tournament. MTL4. 6 teams will enter and they'll all be competing for the right to face off against Revolution at Burn 2010 for the MTL Championship.
[The crowd cheers.]
Brad Johnson - Teams like Bundy and Wire, Celestial Avatars, and a few others. This time, however, it'll be a bit different. Instead of a long, drawn out, round robin-style tournament, we're going to go back to a traditional bracket tournament. That tournament will begin after Hardcore Hell. Before we get there, though, we'll be having a few preliminary matches. I guess you could say, we're going to have a 4 week "season", where each team will be competing in matches to determine their bracket placements.
[He turns back to SSM.]
Brad Johnson - The season starts now. The first match, if Hecate and her partner accept, will be the Celestial Avatars vs. Bob Wire and John Bundy.
[Just then, "The Thing that Should not be" by Metallica blasts from the PA as Jade walks out from the back. She walks past both Johnson and SSM and heads to the ring.]
Jack Gene - And it looks like Jade has accepted! This match is going to happen... next!
[The scene fades to a commercial.]
Jack Gene - Brad Johnson should have pushed this match back till later in the show to allow Hecate to at least get into wrestling attire, she's out there fighting in her street clothes. At least she's not having to fight a two on one match like Sault St. Marie tried to book her in.
Bill Hughes - Personally I would have just made her wrestle in her bra and panties, the ratings would have sky rocketed then!
Jack Gene - At the risk of humiliating two of our top stars? Besides this is a family rated show, that is not the type of image we wish to portray...even if it would boost ratings.
Bill Hughes - Chicken, you know you want to see that as much as I do.
[Flash Forward // Bundy is back up to one knee, Jade tags back in and the Celestial Avatars position themselves on either side of Bundy as the big man tries to push himself up to his feet, unloading with a series of rapid fire kicks along Bundy's front and back, each woman in perfect sync with the other. The series ends with both members of the Celestial Avatars moving as one and spinning around and connecting with a wicked sounding double kick to Bundy's head. The referee finally forces Hecate out of the ring as Jade lines up Bundy for buzzsaw kick but Bob Wire breaks that up with a running forearm shot to Jade's head and follows it up with a few wicked forearm shots to her back. Bundy gets back to his feet and sends Jade down to the mat with a huge head butt while Bob Wire surprises Hecate with a suicide dive through the ropes, catching her with a spear and sending both of them crashing to the floor outside the ring.]
Jack Gene - Does Brad Johnson's turning this into a tag team match mean Jade has joined her partner on Brad Johnson's side? And if she hasn't, are we looking at the beginning of the end for The Celestial Avatars and the Daughters of Darkness?
Bill Hughes - Those are questions which we will have to see just what happens in the future, but right now, both Jade and Hecate look to be a very cohesive unit still and if that remains the case, they will have to be one of the top picks for the Midwest Tag League 4.
Jack Gene - No denying that, since day one, these two as a team were impressive and they have only gotten better and better as time has gone on.
[Flash Forward // Jade and Bob Wire are back in the ring again, Bob Wire bleeding a bit from his scuffle outside the ring with Hecate, the Dark Priestess also busted open during the action. Jade continues her hit and run tactics, but Bob Wire absorbs a kick to get a hold of her leg and pulls Jade into a short arm clothesline. As Jade gets back up to her feet, Bob Wire takes her down again to the mat with a vicious DDT, nearly dropping her vertically on the top of her head. Wire motions for Bundy to get in the ring despite the referee's warnings. Bundy climbs into the ring and Wire pushes Jade back against the ropes and shoots her off towards Bundy who for his part tries to take Jade's head off with a big boot and nearly does. While the referee gets Bundy back out of the ring, Hecate comes off the top turnbuckle and takes Bob Wire down with a flying bulldog type move, then hops back up to her feet and lifts her hand in the air to rile the crowd up.]
Jack Gene - This match is starting to break down, both Bob Wire and Hecate have been busted open from their brawl on the outside and all four wrestlers are getting involved here, the referee needs to regain control.
Bill Hughes - Just let them go, man this match was really starting to get good and the referee wants them to follow the rules? What's up with that?
Jack Gene - Well this is a wrestling match, not a backyard brawl.
[After getting Bundy and Hecate back out of the ring, Bob Wire catches Jade with a swinging neckbreaker as she gets back up to her feet after Bundy took her head off with that big boot. Looking over at Thad Williams, who signals for Wire to finish it, the hardcore wrestler pulls Jade up to her feet and lifts her up into a vertical suplex, positioning her for a brainbuster move. Before Wire can drop Jade onto her head though, the Eastern Dragon twists around, looking like she's going to reverse the move into a backstabber but instead lands on her feet and locks Bob Wire into the Jade Dragon Sleeper right in the middle of the ring. While the referee is checking on Bob Wire for a submission, Hecate takes no chances on Bundy breaking it up and charges behind the referee's back and catches Bundy trying to enter the ring. The Dark Priestess unloads on Bundy who picks Hecate up and tosses her over his shoulder and down to the floor. He quickly gets back to the ring and slides in.]
Jack Gene - That's it! The match is over and The Celestial Avatars have taken the first match of the Midwest Tag League 4 as Bob Wire taps out to Jade's Jade Dragon Sleeper.
Bill Hughes - Even better than that, Hecate managed not to get turned into paste as Bundy tried to take the Dark Priestess out with a massive splash off the ring apron. That could have spelled disaster for this team.
Jack Gene - You are right about that, but so many questions opened up by this whole event. Hopefully we will not have to wait long for the answers.
[Jade keeps the Jade Dragon Sleeper on an extra moment. Bundy charges her, causing her to let go and slide out of the ring. She exchanges glances with Bundy and then Thad Williams before climbing out of the ring and joining Hecate as the pair walk to the back without another glance at their opponents.]
The Celestial Avatars vs. Bundy and Bob Wire
Writer: Tabi[The shot opens up in the ring as Bob Wire has Jade locked up in the center of the ring. He's got her in a rear naked choke. Jade fights her way towards the ring ropes then jumps up and pushes off the ropes with her feet, sending Wire down to the mat and rolling over him into a pinning combination forcing Wire to break the rear naked choke to get out of the pin attempt. Jade takes a moment to regain her breath as Wire gets back to his feet, then explodes into a series of rapid kicks that staggers Wire back; but Wire gets close enough to his corner that Bundy is able to tag in right before Jade connects with a spinning roundhouse kick that sends Wire through the ropes and spilling onto the outside.]
Jack Gene - Bundy has now tagged into this match, the first match of the Midwest Tag League 4 regular season if you will. We know two of the teams involved with the Midwest Tag League 4, the Celestial Avatars and Bundy and Wire. Bob Wire had the advantage on Jade for awhile but the Eastern Warrior was able to use her gymnastic talents to turn the tables on Wire.
Bill Hughes - I like the team of Bundy and Bob Wire, but this is a big test for them this week. The Celestial Avatars are a tough team, Hecate and Jade have a bond that it almost seems like they know what the other is thinking before they act. Kinda freaky at times but you know, also kinda hot.
Jack Gene - I'm not even going to comment on that one. Bundy is going after Jade, but she's keeping him off balance with her speed and lightening quick strikes against the big man.
[Flash Forward // Jade connects with a Jade Kick at the same time that Bundy catches her with a sweeping hook to her head, both wrestlers staggering back under the impacts. Jade hits the ropes and starts to slip down to the mat but she's close enough for Hecate to tag herself in, which the Dark Priestess does and hops up to the top rope before springing off into a missile drop kick that catches Bundy and staggers him back again with arms flailing. The Greek warrior jumps back to her feet and hits the ropes, coming off them and driving her shoulder into the back of Bundy's knee, trying to get the big man down. Jade pulls herself back to her feet using the ropes, bouncing off them as Hecate comes in from the other side, delivering a spinning jump kick to Bundy as Hecate drives her shoulder into the back of Bundy's knee again, the two women taking Bundy off his feet finally just as Bob Wire climbs back up to the ring apron.]Jack Gene - Bundy has now tagged into this match, the first match of the Midwest Tag League 4 regular season if you will.

Another Meeting with the Great Lakes Champ
Writer: Josh and Aaron
[The scene cuts to a shot of the back of Josh Briskout's home as Jack Gene's voice is heard over.]
Jack Gene – Well, we've got some pre-taped footage here from Josh Briskout's home where AWS Man spent the week.
[The camera zooms in and fades to the back where AWS Man (also known as Bill) is laying on his back attempting to lift a log. Briskout is standing over him, in what has to be the most stereotypical coach's outfit ever. He's blowing the whistle. Pen and Giggles the Monkey stand by, Giggles shakes his head.]
Briskout – LET'S GO AWS MAN, LIFT UP THE LOG!!! THE LOG OF REHABILITATION!!!
[AWS Man lets out a primal roar and lifts up the log and then tosses it about 10 feet in front of him. Briskout looks as AWS Man sits up, breathing heavy, face red and sweaty. Yes, somehow his paintball mask has changed color and is sweating.]
Briskout – YES! YEEEESSSS! YES!!!!
AWS Man – AHHHHH!
Briskout – LET IT OUT!!!
[Suddenly AWS Man (also known as Bill) gets up and begins shadow boxing, connecting two punches with Briskout. Briskout backs off, holding his nose looking at bewilderment at the Insane One as he begins to run towards the forested area of Briskout's home with Giggles carrying Pen in hot pursuit. AWS Man picks up the log as he runs into the forested area. The camera crew, Giggles and Pen follow leaving Briskout far behind. AWS Man is running like a maniac through the woods when he stops… He throws the log down and begins jumping up and down.]
AWS Man – DRAAAAAAFREAKINGOOOOOOO!!!!
[Giggles, Pen and the Camera Crew have caught up completely as AWS Man is still shadow boxing. Suddenly, the sound of a golf cart is heard and Briskout, who has somehow changed into something a bit more normal for him, his laboratory jacket, has caught up in a golf cart. AWS Man is still shadow boxing when he hits the golf cart with one of his punches. Then another… Then another.]
Briskout – AWS MAN! AWS MAN!!! Calm down!
[AWS Man socks it with a HUGE punch that forces AWS Man to look down and realize what he's done.]
AWS Man - Stupid freakin' metal! I'll get you next time! So now what Brisket?
Briskout – We head back to the house and continue your therapy.
AWS Man – Oh yeah, that's right. What the heck were we freakin' doing in the woods? How is this going to help me Brisket?!
Briskout – You ran out here AWS Man.
AWS Man – No I bet you freakin' drugged me and dragged me. Date rape! I'm going to have my lawyer call you, watch. Pen, remember to call him.
Pen - …
AWS Man – Yeah wait and freakin' see Brisket.
Briskout – You realize I have a state of the art camera system being monitored by Gig- GIGGLES!
[Briskout looks at his monkey companion, holding Pen who has jumped into the golf cart.]
Briskout – You're the worst security guard ever Giggles. Seriously, I should hire a new one.
AWS Man – Well up in Freakville-
Briskout –What the heck is Freakville?
AWS Man – Where I'm from.
Briskout – North Cackylacky?
AWS Man – Sure whatever, freakin' listen. Up in Freakville, I have a buddy who could be a good security guard.
Briskout – Why the heck are you telling me?
AWS Man – Gee, I can't help two friends out?
Briskout – Doesn't sound much like you.
AWS Man – You're right, must be the freakin' concussion.
Briskout – Well, I was planning on driving up to Ohio for the show. I suppose we could stop and see your friend in North Carolina.
AWS Man – Wait, let me get this freakin' straight. You're driving through Freakville?!
Briskout – Yes?
AWS Man – Freakin' awesome, I want in. We can stop by my friend.
Briskout – Fair enough. Wait a minute, is it Blade?
AWS Man – No…
Briskout – Are you lying?
AWS Man – No….
[AWS Man looks a little nervous.]
AWS Man – Let's go to Cook-Out!
Briskout – What the hell is Cook-Out?
[AWS Man suddenly grabs Briskout's steering wheel and nearly crashes the golf cart into tree, forcing Briskout to slam the breaks on.]
Briskout – WHAT THE HELL MAN?!
AWS Man – Well how freakin' else would I dramatically stop the golf cart for you saying something so retarded?
Briskout – What the heck… I should dropkick you. What is Cook-Out?
AWS Man – Only the greatest restaurant chain in the world.
Briskout – It's not in Memphis though… So I don't see your point.
AWS Man – I should freakin' stab you with a spork or something.
Briskout – It would break. But I guess you could come. We could stop by this "Cook-Out" and see your friend.
AWS Man – Freakin' sweet Titsout, Rooooad Trip!
Briskout – I have a feeling I'm going to regret this. You're so lucky you have medical insurance.
[The scene fades out as the duo exit the golf car with Giggles and Pen in tow.]

Luck of the Draw
Writer: Reb[Fade into one of the many private locker rooms in the backstage area. This one occupied by the Lucky duo, and is decorated as such with green and black rugs, furniture and plenty of posters of various poker superstars. It's obvious that this particular room must be Justin's. The two twins are on the sofa, relaxing with a beer each, and suddenly Sault St. Marie, WMW General Manager, pops into view.]
Sault St. Marie - Oh, good, you're both in here. Fancy that.
[The two immediately look up. Justin makes a move to stand up, but Jasmine keeps him in place with a hand on his shoulder.]
Justin Lucky - Oh, uh, Mr. Marie! Er, St. Marie? Sault?
Jasmine Lucky - Hush, you're embarrassing yourself.
[Unamused, Sault moves in front of the duo, folding his arms over his shoulders.]
Sault St. Marie - I find it very interesting that you two insisted on separate locker rooms, yet this is the only one of the two that ever seems to be used. A very peculiar demand, is it not?
Jasmine Lucky - I like my private time, sometimes.
[Jasmine lets out a big, knowing grin, which makes Justin cringe uncomfortably. Sault remains unamused.]
Jasmine Lucky - But I'm sure you didn't come here to lecture us about using two locker rooms, did you? Surely we're too small time for the likes of the big bad General Manager, who spends his days chasing around the big names every Friday night.
Sault St. Marie - You would almost be absolutely right, at least on the fact you two are still small time. Which is why I was very curious when I heard you turned down my...offer of being in the Midwest Tag League.
Justin Lucky - We got bigger fish to fry then tag titles. I'm gonna be going for Nathan's belt on Hardcore Hell, I'm just waiting for the #1 Contendership match!
Sault St. Marie - Keep waiting. It wasn't an offer. I only signed you two for another three months because of the tag league. So if you want any kind of shot at a singles time, you need to fulfill the real purpose you're here. Filling a spot in that league.
[Jasmine and Justin exchange a glance. Justin is about to speak, clearly becoming annoyed, but Jasmine shushes him again.]
Jasmine Lucky - We respectfully decline. Again.
Sault St. Marie - And again, it wasn't an offer. You start next week. Be there, or go back to CMW.
[The two watch as Sault exits the room. He disappears just in time to avoid being hit by a thrown box of chocolates, presumably from Justin. Fade out on the annoyed Lucky Ones.]
Jade and Brad Johnson Talk
Writer: Amanda[The scene opens up in Jade's locker room where we see her packing up. A knock on the door disturbs her and Jade looks up, calling for the visitor to come in and the door opens as Brad Johnson walks in. As he closes the door behind him, Jade's face shows no surprise, almost as if she was expecting this. She smirks a bit and nods.]
Jade - Ah. Finally the powers at war remember I exist. And here I was enjoying my life of quiet meditation.
[Brad Johnson blushes a moment, pausing for a moment before he finally speaks.]
Brad Johnson - Well, not exactly forgotten about you, Jade. It's hard to forget about you with the way you've-
[Jade raises a hand, cutting him off in mid-sentence.]
Jade - I am not a western fighter, Mr. Johnson. I do not need nor require my ego to be stroked. I am quite comfortable with my current position and my record speaks for itself. Without me, there would have been no Valora, no Druscilla, no Hecate. Now, we both know why you are here, so before we get too far off topic, let us go to that piece of business.
[Brad Johnson looks around and finally makes his way into the locker room a bit, taking a seat on a bench.]
Brad Johnson - You're a very smart person, Jade. And, having Vyper add his knowledge to that, I can see why you've done so well here. But, at the end of the day, you've got to see that Sault St. Marie is out of control. What I don't want to see happen is everyone just accept what he says as the path we're taking.
[Jade nods.]
Jade - Indeed.
[Brad Johnson sighs in relief, obviously glad Jade is agreeing with him so far. He adjusts his tie a bit and continues.]
Brad Johnson - Well... we need to resolve this problem and I'm working on a solution. One that I'm sure you know since Hecate and Kronin have both shown what side of the fight they are supporting. Being in your position, as Shoot Champion and a leader backstage, I'd like to know that we can count on you when the time comes to stand up to him. WMW needs you.
[Jade's face is emotionless as she listens to Brad Johnson. She is silent for a few long, awkward moments as she contemplates things before finally saying one, simple word.]
Jade - No.
[Brad Johnson blinks, obviously not expecting this and looks around, trying to regroup.]
Brad Johnson - No?
[Jade folds her hands on her lap and nods.]
Jade - I have concluded that you are just as a big a danger to the WMW as Sault St. Marie is. Therefore, your offer is not in the best interests of the WMW.
[Brad Johnson narrows his eyes a bit, standing up.]
Brad Johnson - I'm not sure I understand you, Jade. How exactly am I'm so bad and how staying out of this fight is in the best interests of WMW?
[Jade stands, narrowing her eyes as well.]
Jade - To be blunt, you are a corporate man, Mr. Johnson. Profits and bottom lines, budgets, these are the components of your world. They are what you do. You are a business man. Not show business, but the business of making money. Every chance you have had to be a leader here in this company, you have shown yourself to be weak, indecisive, unwilling to run the wrestling side of things. Now as harsh and rude as my words sound, I believe your reasons for this is you realize that you do not possess the skills to be a GM style leader. It's likely why Kronin and Hecate support you. Adding their knowledge of the wrestling business to your business acumen, and hoping to find a right mix to guide the company through this mess. It's admirable, if misguided and ultimately self-defeating. As for sitting the conflict out, I have no intention of doing that, but neither side really seems to meet the ideals I have in mind.
[Brad Johnson's face shows a look of genuine alarm as he shakes his head.]
Brad Johnson - Well, I can appreciate that. I understand your disinterest in not getting involved in this... business disagreement. However, I'm going to ask that you reconsider. Talk with Hecate. Talk with Kronin. And, feel free to talk with me. We can work together, Jade.
[Jade nods and her and Brad Johnson shakes hands before he turns and walks out of the locker room. Jade watches the door for a moment and sighs, nodding to herself. The scene fades.]
Representing the Heartlands
Writer: Dem and Jill[Suddenly, 'Get Up' by 50 Cent plays over the speakers and Gras-Dawg walks out, with Amariie in tow, a very pissed off look on her face, and wearing a long overcoat that covers her entire body almost. The crowd goes wild as Gras-Dawg dances around at the entryway for a bit, Amariie rolling her eyes in barely contained disgust.]
Jack Gene - Wow! A surprise visit from Gras-Dawg! His appearances have sadly been few and far in between here on these shows, we hear that's because he has been spending a lot of time in his hometown of New Orleans, helping out with the cleanup efforts there. We're told he has lent his aid to a number of charitable organizations down there, such as habitat for humanity, various cleanup crews for the oil spill, and other listings that he has down here that I don't think I can mention on television other to say 'boosting morale'
Bill Hughes - Heh, he's certainly boosting my morale now! I can't wait to find out what Amariie is wearing under that overcoat!
[The duo makes their way down to the ring and Gras-Dawg even leans on the middle rope, holding the rope open for Amariie, who cautiously ducks under and enters the ring. Gras-Dawg comes in after her and grabs a mic as he looks around at the crowd.]
Gras-Dawg - Yeah, alright! Yo Cleveland, what's up?!
[The crowd pops big time as Amariie looks like she's about to gag. Gras-Dawg turns around and faces Amariie.]
Gras-Dawg - A'ight sugah. We all know why we here. You and me... we had us an agreement about our match. You failed to take mah title from me, so as such you now got two choices. You admit dat I was da better wrestler dat night and I give you dis back-
[Gras-Dawg reaches into his back pocket and pulls out the copy of Amariie's contract stipulating the match agreement. Amariie shakes her head no, violently. Gras-Dawg grins.]
Gras-Dawg - A'ight... if ya dun wanna do dat... den take off dat coat girl and show all these people your new 'official Gras-Dawg escort' uniform!!
[The crowd pops big time, cheering for Amariie to take off her coat. Amariie stares murderously at Gras-Dawg and grabs a mic herself.]
Amariie - No! You...you.. you insipid little street thug! I will NOT be paraded around as your private little harlot!
Jack Gene - Well, it seems Amariie has a choice here, she now seems to be trying to decide on which is less humiliating to her personally.
Bill Hughes - Oh please let her take off the coat! It's horribly demeaning, but we'd get to see that awesome body of Amariie's!!
[Gras-Dawg grins and shrugs.]
Gras-Dawg - Those the two choices you got sugah. You talk bout honor and all dat... attack me for being some honorless punk... you tink you better then me on dat front...prove it.
[Amariie grits her teeth and glares daggers at Gras-Dawg.]
Amariie - Fine. Sorry to disappoint all the perverts in the audience here, well not reall, but...you were.....better then me. On that night. Next time we meet, you might not be so lucky. And believe me, WHEN I beat you, what I do to you will make this minor humiliation seem like a stroll in the park.
[The crowd boos and Gras-Dawg stands there for a moment thinking and then nods, walking up and handing Amariie the contract.]
Gras-Dawg - A'ight. Fair enough. Gras-Dawg's a man of his word. You free to go to da back, get changed and do what you do.
[The crowd boos more chanting for Gras-Dawg to change his mind as Amariie looks at Gras-Dawg stunned, and then at the contract.]
Amariie - Hmm... interesting. For what it's worth, you surprised me by living up to your part of the deal. But don't expect any mercy from me when I beat you. My family was never really known for being merciful.
[Amariie tucks the contract into her pocket and heads out of the ring, trying to hurry without making it look like she is, making her way to the backstage area as Gras-Dawg remains in the ring and looks around.]
Gras-Dawg - Now dat, dat piece of biness is done... I may not always be here in person, but I watch me the film of what's going on and I see quite a few fools in da back are thinkin' dat they be da new hotness. Well, boys, Da big Dawg here is still da champ, so take a long, hard look. Cause any of you all dat get shit goin and get a title shot... gotta go through me. Da Big Dawg is here and he lookin' to take someone apart.
[Gras-Dawg drops the mic and holds up both his arms as he stands tall in the ring for a few moments before sliding out of the ring and making his way to the back.]
Jack Gene - Well, agree with it or not, Gras-Dawg proved a man of his word. Personally, I think he made a mistake here. Amariie has needed a lesson in humility for a long time and if the roles were reversed, she would not have let Gras-Dawg off so easily.
Bill Hughes - Well I agree but only because I wanted to see Amariie's huge-
Jack Gene - Bill!
Bill Hughes - What!? Lilly and Roxie get to threaten to use each other in a promo that could easily have been for one of those porno sites on the web in CMW and I can't say that I admire Amariie's huge boobies?
Jack Gene - No, you don't.
Bill Hughes - I just did. And the FCC can kiss my-
Jack Gene - And I think right about now is a good time for a commercial break folks!
[The scene fades.]
Marty Poppins Is Fishing For A Win
Writer: Garvin/Marty[The shot opens up in the back where Marty Poppins is looking up at a stick he is holding. He cautiously lowers the stick as a string with a hook on it dangles. He then lowers it into the drinking fountain. Just then, referee Stephen Tyler walks into the scene. He looks at Poppins and shakes his head.]
Stephen Tyler - You ready for the match, Marty?
[He leans towards the water fountain and takes a drink. Marty takes his opportunity to yank the hook back, which catches Tyler in the collar. Tyler looks at him with a smile.]
Stephen Tyler - Funny...
[He then starts to walk away but Poppin's is attempting to reel him in. Tyler grabs a hold of the string and leads him out of the hallway. The scene fades.]
Xavier Langston vs. Marty Poppins
Writer: TBD[The shot opens up in the ring as Marty, referee Stephen Tyler and Wayne Inkster stand in the center of the ring. Inkster announces the next match and introduces Poppins, who gets a mixed reaction.]
Jack Gene - Welcome back everyone to WMW Graveyard Shift 124. We are just about ready for our next contest as Marty Poppins, who apparently was dragged to the ring again by referee Stephen Tyler.
Bill Hughes - He was fishing.
Jack Gene - Yeah, I gathered that. Poppins, who we're all quite sure doesn't really have any place being in the ring stands here awaiting his opponent, whether he realizes it or not. And his opponent is one of Wrestling Midwest's newest superstars, delivered by Brad Johnson himself...
[#BREATHE! #OH! #WHOO! WHOO! WHOO!]
Bill Hughes - I guess he's here now!
[The song being played is "Breathe" by Fabolous, and as the body of the rap starts, the curtains part and in walks Xavier Langston, a sole white spotlight focused on him as the lights dim slightly. Xavier is wearing a sleeveless black trenchcoat, black wrestling tights, and a pair of black wrestling boots. His appearance prompts a mixed reaction from the crowd: some are politely applauding the newcomer, giving him a shot, while others are booing him for his ties with the now-defunct World Wrestling Alliance.]
Bill Hughes - And some of our fans letting Xavier Langston have it for his ties to a dark period of Wrestling Midwest's history.
Jack Gene - He SAYS he's not here to spy or corrode the WMW, but I ain't buying that for a second. He's here to weaken us from the inside for some invasion.
[Xavier walks down the aisle, keeping a smile on his face. Fans who have their hands outstretched looking for a high five receive it. Fans with their fingers outstretched are ignored. Wayne Inkster announces him.]
Bill Hughes - Bill, that's all water under the bridge now. We've moved on... they've closed down... there isn't much left to say.
Jack Gene - What about Defiance then?
Bill Hughes - What about it? They moved on with their lives, and it's time we do too.
Jack Gene - We'll see. I still don't trust him.
[Xavier slides into the ring and flips to his feet, his trenchcoat billowing in the wind behind him. Staring right at his opponent, he slips the sleeveless trench off of his body, letting it fall off of his arms. He catches it with his right hand and, in one motion, flicks it out of the ring. He then raises his left hand in the air in a fist, drawing another mixed reaction as the lights come up and the spotlight dims.]

He then raises his left hand in the air in a fist, drawing another mixed reaction as the lights come up and the spotlight dims.]
Jack Gene - Well, this is the first time we've had the pleasure of seeing Xavier Langston here in a Wrestling Midwest ring. What we do know about him is he's currently looked at as in the top 10 competitors over in his home region, so a lot of high hopes for this guy. Tonight, though, it may be difficult to really gauge him.
Bill Hughes - Yeah, well, that's the problem with going up against Marty Poppins. I know you were trying to suggest it's because he's new and he's going up against a talent here that, technically already new, but let's be honest. Marty Poppins isn't the type of "notch" that you're trying to base the rest of your career on. It'll take a few matches, for sure, but what we do know is Brad Johnson worked to bring him in. He obviously sees something in him, and Johnson knows this business well enough that that type of recommendation is enough for me to know that we're going to see something special with him.
[The ref calls for the bell.]
Jack Gene - And here we go, Marty Poppins vs. Xavier Langston here on Graveyard Shift 124. And... Poppins isn't even paying attention.
[The camera focuses in on Poppins, as he tries to convince the ref to give him back his fishing pole. The ref pushes him away. Xavier Langston pulls him around, and just as he does Poppins swings wildly with a right hand, but Langsotn blocks it and responds with a palm strike to the face which sends Poppins stumbling backwards.]
Jack Gene - Oh! And Langston with the first attack.
Bill Hughes - He's got Poppins reeling. I don't even think he was expecting it.
[Poppins, stumbles back around and Xavier catches him with a stunning Yakuza kick to the chest.]
Jack Gene - My god what a kick! He calls that the "Who Shot Ya?"
Bill Hughes - I'll tell you who shot him... this guy.
[Langstone looks over the crowd as he smiles.]
Jack Gene - You didn't shoot him.
Bill Hughes - No, by this guy, I meant, that guy, Xavier Langston.
[He walks over to Poppins and goes for a quick pin.]
Jack Gene - And here's the pin! Langston going for his first win. ...1! ...2! And no! Somehow Marty Poppins got out of the pin.
[Langston grabs Marty up by the head. Poppins tries to break free, but Langston gets him into a front face lock. Poppins flails wildly, trying to get out of the hold. Finally, Langston releases the lock, but then out of nowhere, hits him with an inverted Russian Legsweep.]
Jack Gene - Oh! Duk the "F" Down!
Bill Hughes - You seriously should not try and use the language of today's youth, Jack. It's Duck the [bleep] Down and he just planted Marty into the mat.
Jack Gene - Well, regardless of what it's called, Langston executed it perfectly and is now making another pin attempt. ...1! ...2!... and again! Poppins kicks out. I'm really surprised that Poppins is getting up from what he has endured so far in this match.
[Langston stands up again. He looks around as the crowd gets on their feet. Some begin to cheer, while others still seem unsure. He pulls up Marty. This time, Marty doesn't struggle.]
Jack Gene - Marty Poppins can barely stand. I think him kicking out of that last pin, was just the last jolt of adreniline.
[Langston faces Marty and lifts him up, before driving him face first into the mat.]
Jack Gene - The First Rule!
Bill Hughes - Oh, what a devestating face slam. A reverse STO-type move there, just drove Marty down and there's now way he'll get up from that.
Jack Gene - Here's the count, ...1! ...2! ...3! It's over!
["Breathe" by Fabolous plays over the PA system.]
Wayne Inkster - Here is your winner... Xavier Langston!
Wayne Inkster - Here is your winner... Xavier Langston!
After Match Happenings
Writer: Brian[Langston, from his knees, beckons for the microphone from Inkster. Wayne obliges, handing it to Da Man as he kneels over the prone body of Marty Poppins.]
"Da Man" Xavier Langston - CUT DA MUSIC!
[The music fades out.]
"Da Man" Xavier Langston - Ya see dis, Cleveland? Dis is what it means ta be Da Man. Walk in, smack around some foo' like dis guy...
[As he points to Marty Poppins, Xavier comes to a full standing position.]
"Da Man" Xavier Langston - ...an' walk out wit' my hand held high.
[Xavier walks to the center of the ring.]
"Da Man" Xavier Langston - An dis is jus' the beginnin', brothas an' sistas. Empires wern't built in a day, an' dis one ain't gon' be no exception. It's gon' be one day after another of me breakin' suckas off somethin' propa like. An' rung by rung, I'mma climb dat ladder an' take one o' those shiny-lookin' titles fo' my own.
[A slight pause from Xavier before he continues.]
"Da Man" Xavier Langston - Now my understandin' is dat I've been placed in somethin' called the Heartlands division. A'ight, fine. Guess dat means dat dis Dirty South foo' Gras-Dawg is da unlucky sucka in my sights.
[Xavier turns to the entranceway and focuses on the back.]
"Da Man" Xavier Langston - So, Dawg, check dis. I ain't gon' jump my place in line. I'mma beat up each an' every otha sucka in da line, whether it's Thomas Kilik, Arick Wills, o' dat fine piece o' [BLEEP] Amariie, each an' every one o' dem is gonna be left layin', till it's you an' me, one on one. That's when you gon' find out dat I am DA MAN...
[Pause, presumably for the catchphrase.]
"Da Man" Xavier Langston - An' MY WILL...IS...LAW!
["Breathe" by Fabolous starts up again as Langston throws the mic back to Wayne Inkster before he rolls out of the ring and walks to the back. The scene fades as medics go into the ring to check on Poppins.]
Another Arick Wills and Damien Knight Encounter
Writer: MOD[The scene shows a 2010 Maybach Zeppelin begins pulling into the parking garage area. The 2010 Maybach Zeppelin begins to slow down and comes to a stop. Slowly the driver opens his door, and out steps the limo driver. The limo driver proceeds to make his way to the back of the Maybach and opens the backseat driver side door.

Arick Wills – You again… Did you not learn your lesson last week?
Damian Knight – Man, you got the wrong idea. I am simple trying to show you some support here in WMW. I just want you to do well here. I will let you slide with what happen last week. I normally would kick your ass for what you did to me, but I am not trying to go there with you. I just think you have a lot of potential, and just would like to see you kick ass here in WMW. I have been watching you and I am a big supporter. You know Arick, I even wouldn't mind being in your corner on a regular basis to show you how much I support you. I am willing to do anything in my power to help you get to the top of WMW.
Arick Wills – Well, I don't need you or anybody else to help me get to the top of WMW. I am "The King of Wrestling", what the hell would I need a bloody loser like you for?
Damian Knight – Please keep in mind Arick, that I am a former Heartlands Champion, two time Ace Superior Champion, and a Hall of Famer.
Arick Wills – Please keep in mind, Damian…
[Out of no where Arick Wills kicks Damian Knight in his shin. Damian Knight yells in pain. Arick Wills quickly then grabs the arm of MOD and brings him down to the ground in the parking lot and applies the Magnificent Crossface. MOD begins to yell in pain and yells, "LET ME GO!!!!" Arick Wills has a zoned out look in his eyes as he wrenches back on the neck of Damian even more. The King of Wrestling now decides to let go. Arick Wills makes it back to his feet and begins to examine his damage.]
Arick Wills – Please keep in mind that I will cripple you if you don't stay out of my way. Last warning, MOD!
[Arick Wills exits the scene as paramedics now make there way into the scene to check on MOD as the camera fades.]
Marty Poppins Needs Change
Writer: Marty[The shot opens up backstage as Louie Cwik stands next to Marty Poppins.]
Louie Cwik - Marty, I was hoping to talk to you about...
Marty Poppins - Hey, do you have some change?
[Cwik looks at him with shifty eyes.]
Louie Cwik - ...what?
[Poppins lunges towards him, which scares Cwik a bit.]
Marty Poppins - Some change! Do you have change?
[Cwik stumbles backwards.]
Louie Cwik - No, not on me.
[Poppins sighs loudly.]
Marty Poppins - See, I HAD bus fare, but I tripped and it fell down a sewer grate which is why my clothed are so dirty, and I have to get to Milwaukee because my license is set to expire, and heeeeeey...I DON'T TALK TO COPS MAN!
[Cwik shakes his head and leaves the room. The scene fades.]

["What It's Like" by Everlast begins to play over the loud speaker, causing the crowd to break into a mixed reaction. The Emo Girl walks out with one hand up in the air, playing off of the crowd. She slaps hands with the audience as she walks down the aisle, wearing a black tank top and athletic shorts.]
Wayne Inkster – Currently making her way down the aisle, EMO GIRL!!!!
Jack Gene – I am in heaven. Her perkiness. Her ponytail. I love it all.
Bill Hughes – I don't know why you or the fans like this girl. There is nothing special about this gothic like girl.
["Breakeven" by The Script plays over the P.A. system as "The King of Wrestling" Arick Wills makes his way down to the ring in a fancy robe.]
Wayne Inkster – Currently making his way down the aisle, ARICK WILLS!!!!
Bill Hughes – Arick Wills has been very intense as of late. Emo Girl has a very big challenge on her hands tonight.
Jack Gene - …..Just look at her. She is so breath taking.
[The bell rings, and both wrestlers circle each other. Emo Girl and Wills chain wrestle for a bit, but Arick pushes Emo Girl into the ropes, causes a break, and cheap shots her with an elbow. Arick locks in an arm bar submission, but Emo Girl quickly reverses. The King of Wrestling fights out, but neither wrestler can gain an advantage.]
Jack Gene – Come on Emo Girl. You got this. Don't let Arick Wills get the best of you baby. You are so much better than him.
Bill Hughes – [shaking his head] Well, back to the action.
[Flash Forward // Arick Wills hits a big European uppercut, but he walks right into a series of elbows and a big forearm from Emo Girl. Wills goes for a clothesline, but Emo Girl ducks it.

Jack Gene- Aww man, just look at the sweat drip off her body as she gives Arick Wills the ass whipping he so deserves.

Jack Gene – Did you say something, Bill?

After Match Happenings
Writer: Kilik[Arick Wills is in the ring arguing with the ref because he can not believe that Emo Girl got the 3 count. Out of no where Thomas Kilik comes through the crowd with a baseball bat in hand and sneaks into the ring. Arick Wills does not realize that Kilik is behind him. Out of no where Kilik lays out Wills with a baseball bat and stands over him. Kilik now ask for a mic from Wayne Inkster. Wayne Inkster hands Kilik the mic and he begins to speak.]
Thomas Kilik - What, you thought that everything would be fine? That life would be allpeachy? Well life isn't peachy in Kilik-ville. And if you thought that I was done with you...well, perhaps I'm going to have to show you what you get into when you try to mess with me.
[Thomas Kilik shifts his eyes…]
Thomas Kilik - Hardcore Hell. They say that Kilik doesn't do hardcore. Hell, I've said that I don't do hardcore. But hardcore throws a good twist into the story. And we all know all stories need twists. So let's mix it up. You and me at Hardcore Hell. The stipulation? Before you can win the match, your opponent must be bleeding. It's first blood and pure wrestling all rolled into one. I assume you agree. You're in no position to bargain anyway.
[Thomas Kilik chuckles as he drops the mic. Kilik begins to exit the ring as paramedics come down to the ring. The scene begins to fade.]
Another Moment in Time
Writer: Josh and Aaron[The scene cuts to more pretaped footage of AWS Man (also known as Bill) and Josh Briskout, driving in Briskout's 1988 station wagon. Giggles and Pen are in the back, both strapped into car seats. And if you think it's odd that a monkey and a spatula would need car seats, you are way overthinking things. The vehicle is approaching a tiny shack of a fast food restaurant with smoke billowing out of a chimney on top, even though the time on the dashboard says 3:41 AM. Briskout looks at the Cook-Out skeptically with his one good eye.]
Briskout – Dude, this is what you dragged me out here for? I've had lab explosions bigger than this place.
AWS Man (also known as Bill) – Shut up, Brisket, or Pen will make sure you need two cybernetically enhanced eyes.
Briskout - …That'd actually be kinda awesome.
AWS Man (also known as Bill) – Yeah, I guess it freakin' would. Still, though … shut up and order.
[Briskout drives closer to the building. When the lane splits, he stays to the right of the building, causing the Insane One to smack his forehead in frustration.]
AWS Man (also known as Bill) – What the freak are you doing, man?! You should've gone in that lane!
[AWS Man (also known as Bill) points to the lane that goes around to the left of the building, so that it would be on the car's passenger side. That lane is empty, while there are several cars in the right-hand lane.]
Briskout – Why does it matter?
AWS Man (also known as Bill) – Because you always pick the left lane if you've got a freakin' passenger! Everybody knows that! Now we have to wait on the cars in front of us!
Briskout – Bitch, I've never been to your crazy North Cackylacky fast food places! So lay off before I melt your mask with acid, or something!
[The Insane One sighs, shaking his head slightly while rubbing his temple.]
AWS Man (also known as Bill) – Fine. Just keep doing it freakin' wrong, then.
[The line of cars advances, and Briskout pulls up to the ordering speaker, next to a large, somewhat confusing menu.]
Speaker – Welcome to Cook-Out, can I take your order?
[As Briskout peruses the jumbled, seemingly endless list of milkshake flavors, AWS Man (also known as Bill) leans over, practically crawling on top of Briskout in very annoying fashion.]
AWS Man (also known as Bill) – Yeah, we'll take 8 barbecue sammiches, 6 watermelon milkshakes, 4 large cheddar style burgers, a dozen hush freakin' puppies, aaaaand an order of onion rings. Oh, and a Cheerwine float.
Speaker – Um, OK… That'll be $12.38.
Briskout – Twelve bucks?! This must be a trap. They've poisoned the food. At least, that's what I would do…
AWS Man (also known as Bill) – I said quiet, Bitchout. Let a freakin' professional handle this…
[After a few moments, the cars advance again, and they pull up to the window, where they await their food. As they wait, something occurs to Briskout.]
Briskout – Hey, what about your friend?
AWS Man (also known as Bill) – What freakin' friend?
Briskout – The one who could be a security guard for me. You know, the whole basis for this trip.
AWS Man (also known as Bill) – Oh, that was a load of freakin' malarkey. I just wanted a ride to Cook-Out, and Blade was working.
Briskout – Oh…. Remind me to kill you for that. Where does that loser work, anyway?
AWS Man (also known as Bill) – Here. Hi, freakin' Blade!
[Blade scowls from the drive-through window. He takes Briskout's money and begins handing over trays of food. Briskout takes a sip of a watermelon milkshake, and his eyes glaze over.]
Briskout – OK … maybe I won't kill you just yet. Pass me those onion rings, bitch…
[The scene fades out to the announcer's booth where Bill Hughes and Jack Gene look absolutely speechless.]
Jack Gene – We'll… be right back.
Briskout – Dude, this is what you dragged me out here for? I've had lab explosions bigger than this place.
AWS Man (also known as Bill) – Shut up, Brisket, or Pen will make sure you need two cybernetically enhanced eyes.
Briskout - …That'd actually be kinda awesome.

AWS Man (also known as Bill) – Yeah, we'll take 8 barbecue sammiches, 6 watermelon milkshakes, 4 large cheddar style burgers, a dozen hush freakin' puppies, aaaaand an order of onion rings. Oh, and a Cheerwine float.
Speaker – Um, OK… That'll be $12.38.
Briskout – Twelve bucks?! This must be a trap. They've poisoned the food. At least, that's what I would do…
AWS Man (also known as Bill) – I said quiet, Bitchout. Let a freakin' professional handle this…
[After a few moments, the cars advance again, and they pull up to the window, where they await their food. As they wait, something occurs to Briskout.]
Briskout – Hey, what about your friend?
AWS Man (also known as Bill) – What freakin' friend?
Briskout – The one who could be a security guard for me. You know, the whole basis for this trip.
AWS Man (also known as Bill) – Oh, that was a load of freakin' malarkey. I just wanted a ride to Cook-Out, and Blade was working.
Briskout – Oh…. Remind me to kill you for that. Where does that loser work, anyway?
AWS Man (also known as Bill) – Here. Hi, freakin' Blade!
[Blade scowls from the drive-through window. He takes Briskout's money and begins handing over trays of food. Briskout takes a sip of a watermelon milkshake, and his eyes glaze over.]
Briskout – OK … maybe I won't kill you just yet. Pass me those onion rings, bitch…
[The scene fades out to the announcer's booth where Bill Hughes and Jack Gene look absolutely speechless.]
Jack Gene – We'll… be right back.
[The scene fades to black.]
Josh Briskout vs. The Lumberjack
Writer: Josh[The shot opens up inside the ring.]
Jack Gene – Another match up here as we get the Lumberjack taking on none other than Doctor Genocide himself, Josh Briskout.
Bill Hughes – With his new partner, the Great Lakes champ, Josh Briskout is looking even more dominant. Last week he destroyed El Oso and I'm positive he can't wait to take down the big man.
[Just then, "The Lumberjack" by Jackyl blasts from the PA as out walks the Lumberjack. The crowd pops as the Axe-Wielding Giant makes his way to the ring.]
Jack Gene – Here comes the Lumberjack and honestly Bill, I'm not quite sure why you're cutting him out already.
Bill Hughes – The guy's a blundering idiot. He lost to Arick Wills.
Jack Gene – Barely we remind you fans as we take a look back at last week.
[We go picture in picture as Lumberjack watches on the screen. Lumberjack raises his right hand, extending the thumb.]
Jack Gene - And he's got that thumb out! He's going for the Axe Chop! Arick Wills is back up to his feet, and here it comes... no!
Bill Hughes - Wills saw it and ducked!
Jack Gene - And Arick Wills with a kick to the midsection. Oh!
Bill Hughes - Bow Down! And down goes the Lumberjack.
Jack Gene - Arick's got the cover and the count! ...1! ...2! ...3! It's over!]
[On the main screen Lumberjack looks disappointed and raises his thumb up again, signaling tonight's the night, much to the appreciation of the crowd.]
Jack Gene – You know what I think many are interested in though? Thad Williams offer.
Bill Hughes – Maybe it'll convince Lumberjack to go back to being a Lumberjack!! Ha!
Jack Gene – Don't get your hopes up for Lumberjack to accept that Bill.
[As the music fades, "Leper Messiah" by Metallica plays as out from the back comes Giggles the Monkey with Pen. The crowd pops for the monkey and spatula but the cheers soon turn to jeers as out from the back comes Josh Briskout, much to the crowd's chagrin. Briskout is missing his cigar and robe, but the red and black striped shirt and pants ever remain as the mad doctor makes his way down to the ring, with Giggles the Monkey and Pen in tow.]
Jack Gene – I'm not sure what to make of Josh Briskout.
Bill Hughes – That's what makes him so great. No one is sure what to make of Josh Briskout. He's a mad man.
Jack Gene – And this new tandem with AWS Man (also known as Bill) isn't helping either one of their mentalities.
[Briskout slides into the ring and before ring introductions can occur, the Lumberjack gets right on Briskout.]
Jack Gene – And Lumberjack getting right on top of Briskout from the get go here.
Bill Hughes – Lumberjack is stomping merciless on Briskout.
Jack Gene – Lumberjack seems determined to prove last week was a fluke loss.
Bill Hughes – Briskout is smart though as he rolls outside of the ring.
[Briskout is on the outside now and points to his head, indicating he's the more intelligent of the two fighters. However Lumberjack doesn't let up as he reaches over with both hands and lifts Briskout up. Briskout's face is priceless, almost one of horror as Lumberjack lifts him up to the ring apron.]
Jack Gene – What a strength being shown by the Lumberjack here!
Bill Hughes – Lumberjack lifts Briskout up and hits a HUGE suplex here. Going for the pin… 1… 2… No. Briskout gets a shoulder up. Doesn't this blundering idiot know that it's going to take more to defeat Briskout?
Jack Gene – Well Bill, Lumberjack does have complete control here in the early going.
[Flash Forward // Lumberjack hits an Irish whip into the corner on Briskout.]
Jack Gene – I can't believe how much in control Lumberjack has had in this match.]
Bill Hughes – Lumberjack looking to hit an avalanche here BUT MISSES!
[Briskout's now behind Lumberjack and hits a dropkick to his left knee.]
Bill Hughes – Dropkick by Briskout, but Lumberjack's still standing.
Jack Gene – He's a big piece of lumber to take down Bill.
Bill Hughes – Briskout with a chop block to the back of the same knee. And Lumberjack is down to one knee.
[Briskout runs towards the opposite corner, lines Lumberjack up and comes running back.]
Bill Hughes – Briskout looking for an enziguri here… And it connects. Running enziguri by Briskout to Lumberjack who finally goes down! Briskout hops to the top rope here.
Jack Gene – Briskout showing a different type of style tonight.
Bill Hughes – But one we're not too unfamiliar with here, we saw Briskout do the same thing in his match against Slash before his injury. Briskout is the type who knows the David versus Goliath mentality. And BEAUTIFUL Moonsault here…
[Briskout comes crashing down, not on top of Lumberjack however, but the mat.]
Jack Gene - Lumberjack had enough knowledge to know Briskout's long wait to hit the moonsault would give him enough time to get back up.
[Lumberjack lumbers over towards Briskout and grabs him by the trapezius muscles. However Briskout is quick to think and hits Lumberjack with a lowblow.]
Bill Hughes – And Briskout outthinks Lumberjack on that one.
Jack Gene – How is a low blow dirty shot like that outthinking?!
Bill Hughes – Lumberjack doubled over here, Briskout up to his feet. Setting him up for a DDT! Briskout plows Lumberjack's head straight into the mat. Cover by Briskout. 1…2…
Jack Gene – NO! Lumberjack kicks out and nearly tosses Briskout out of the ring!
Bill Hughes – Briskout seems to have the advantage, but how long this will last is unknown.
[Flash Forward // Lumberjack has Briskout in a bearhug on the outside of the ring. The ref is pleading with them to get back into the ring and Lumberjack charges into the spine post landing with Briskout's spine first. Briskout goes down like a sack of potatoes.]
Bill Hughes – Oh come on ref, disqualify him already!
Jack Gene – Lumberjack definitely showing a more brutal side here and a more dominant one. It's almost as if Briskout has no clue what to do.
Bill Hughes – Oh don't you worry, Briskout knows what to do.
Jack Gene – Lay on the outside and get counted out isn't the most intelligent option you know.
[The Lumberjack raises his arms as the crowd pops. A "Lumberjack" chant begins up in the Arena much to his surprise as he claps along with it.]
Jack Gene – And the fans are loving themselves some Lumberjack here tonight!
Bill Hughes – And the goof is clapping along. This is ridiculous.
[Lumberjack then picks up Briskout and picks him up in a Gorilla Press.]
Bill Hughes – Lumberjack has Briskout in the Gorilla Press here.
Jack Gene – And he tosses him into the ring, with no regard to Briskout's or the referee's safety.
Bill Hughes – I can't believe this idiot hasn't been disqualified or suspended yet. I fully expect Brad Johnson to do something about the brutality he's displaying here tonight. It's preposterous!
[Lumberjack gets into the ring as the crowd continues to cheer him on.]
Jack Gene – You can feel the electricity in the air. Lumberjack looks about ready to finish Briskout off.
Bill Hughes – I can't believe this. Lumberjack has used dirty underhanded tactics and the WMW Booking Committee clearly put Briskout at a disadvantage. Briskout thought he was getting a normal match here.
Jack Gene – Oh be quiet Bill and do your job! Briskout is a notorious cheater and all Lumberjack has done, was use his strength to his advantage and size to his advantage.
Bill Hughes – Exactly. We shouldn't allow blundering giants in this promotion just like we don't allow midgets!
[Lumberjack signals for the finish. Raising his thumb in the air, stalking Briskout, waiting for him to get up when suddenly…]
Jack Gene – IS THAT AWS MAN?!
[Jack Gene would be correct. Out from the back comes AWS Man (also known as Bill) running down to the ring.]
Bill Hughes – AWS Man to the rescue!
[Lumberjack looks over at AWS Man, confused and distracted. The Insane One however isn't here for the match itself as he goes over to Giggles the monkey and begins to argue with the monkey.]
Jack Gene – AWS Man arguing with a monkey here…
[AWS Man grabs Pen out of Giggles hand. Giggles slaps AWS Man's face and AWS Man looks appalled. He goes to hit Giggles with Pen but a large hand stops him.]
Jack Gene – And the Lumberjack to the rescue!
Bill Hughes – I can't believe this…
Jack Gene – The Lumberjack has taken Pen off of AWS Man!
[AWS Man looks shocked that someone would take Pen off of him and hops onto the apron. Lumberjack turns around however and the distraction gave Briskout more than enough time. Briskout gives Lumberjack a huge field goal kick below the belt. Lumberjack drops Pen much to AWS Man's joy as the referee is arguing with the Insane One.]
Bill Hughes – And the always tactical Briskout takes advantage of the less intelligent Lumberjack. Here it comes… that crafty hangman's DDT of his, the Genocide DDT!
Jack Gene – I can't believe this match is going to end like this.
Bill Hughes – Briskout with the pin! …1 …2 …3!!! Briskout with the win here!
Wayne Inkster – Ladies and gentlemen, your winner by pinfall, Josh Briskout!!!
["Leper Messiah" by Metallica plays once again as Briskout gets up and raises his arms in the air. However he's quickly out of the ring before Lumberjack revives. He and Giggles hightail it out of here while the Insane One slowly walks with Pen in his hand.]
Jack Gene – This is pure madness. I'm not sure if Briskout coming back and teaming with AWS Man has made this worst than we are on the Arkham Asylum scale.
Bill Hughes – Josh Briskout and AWS Man teaming up? Trust me, that makes WMW the greatest show on earth.
Bill Hughes – With his new partner, the Great Lakes champ, Josh Briskout is looking even more dominant. Last week he destroyed El Oso and I'm positive he can't wait to take down the big man.
[Just then, "The Lumberjack" by Jackyl blasts from the PA as out walks the Lumberjack. The crowd pops as the Axe-Wielding Giant makes his way to the ring.]

After Match Happenings
Writer: Garvin[Just then, John Bundy, Bob Wire and Thad Williams begin to walk down to the ring. The crowd immediately boo.]
Jack Gene - Oh now what? What could they possibly want coming down here.
Bill Hughes - Apparently, Thad Williams is keeping to his word, and he's coming down here to get an answer.
Jack Gene - To what? What could Thad possibly have offered Lumberjack that he'd be interested in?
[Wire slides into the ring. Bundy climbs into the ring, while Thad walks up the stairs. He barks something at them, which then causes them to start to stomp away on Lumberjack. Williams grabs the mic from Wayne Inkster.
Thad Williams - Time's up, Jack! Now, I thought I was pretty clear last week when I said that I wanted a decision by today. Pull him up!
[He points at Lumberjack and urges BBW to pull him up. They do, by the hair.]
Thad Williams - So, what is it, Jack? Are you with us... or do you do want to make this harder for yourself then you need to?
[Lumberjack struggles to get free, causing Wire to slam him in the face with a right hand. Thad shakes his head and paces aorund.]
Thad Williams - Obviously, there's been a misunderstanding here. You obviously feel like you can just not make a choice. But, obviously, even though you are from Canada, you obviously fail the amazing Rush lyric: even if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
[He gets into Lumberjack's face.]
Thad Williams - And you have made the wrong choice. ... Get his axe!
Jack Gene - What?! He just sent Bob Wire to get his axe.
[Wire slides out of the ring and grabs the axe. He slides back into the ring and hands it to Thad Williams.]
Thad Williams - You've got a new deadline, Jack. 1 Week. I want your decision at GS125. You've got something that I want, Jack. And now...
[He looks at the axe as he lifts it in front of Lumberjack's face. Just then, Wire swings around and hits him with a DDT.]
Jack Gene - Oh! My god!
Thad Williams - And now... I've got something of yours.
[With that, he drops the mic and all three men move towards the edge of the ring and climb out.]
Jack Gene - My god! Bob Wire with a horrific DDT there, and once again, someone has taken Lumberjack's axe.
Bill Hughes - Well, it's starting to become clear that what Thad Williams said to Lumberjack a few weeks ago is true. Lumberjack has once again let his guard down, and Williams, and BBW have taken full advantage of that.
Jack Gene - But why? What does Lumberjack have that has Thad Williams so interested?
[The scene fades.]
Jade - The reasons behind that have been stated in part here earlier tonight. The rest will be revealed in the fullness of time. Suffice it to say that I found Brad Johnson's offer to be... not in my best interests, or the best interests of WMW.
[Jade turns and walks away before more questions can be asked.]
[The camera fades into the locker room area backstage, over a black door to one of the private rooms. The crowd explodes into cheers as they realize it's the locker room of 'Father Nathan: ASC Champ' according to the sign. Down lower on the door is a small folded note, stuck neatly with clear, plastic tape. It doesn't take long before Father Nathan steps into view, causing another pop. He glances at the note and looks at it.]
Father Nathan - What in the name of...
[He pauses, takes the note off of the door, and glances at it. He smirks, as if amused, and then chuckles.]
Father Nathan - Heh. Oh, I'll RSVP all right... count on it...
[He drops the note on the ground and steps into his locker room, shutting it firmly. The camera zooms in on the note so it's viewable. It is an invitation, dotted with various flowers and party hats, as if inviting someone to a child's birthday.
RSVP ASAP]
Bill Hughes - Oh, boy...we've seen an invitation like that before!
Jack Gene - What's Nathan going to say, though? And what about his other challengers in the division?
Bill Hughes - Screw all that! What does that mean for...you know who?
[Fade out]
Jack Gene - And there's only one more match on the card tonight, folks. The main event of the evening and the second preliminary MTL match of the evening. Father Nathan and the Black Friar vs Umbrage and the retuning WMW Hall of Famer, Scott Vyper. This match should be a great one, don't you think Bill?
Bill Hughes - Only because we will finally see Father Nathan get the ever living crap kicked out of him. Two opponents who are hall of famers and his partner is someone who couldn't BUY a win in the Heartlands division.
Jack Gene - Two Hall of Famers who really don't like each other. At least Father Nathan and the Black Friar are on the same page here.
[The camera switches to the ring to show Wayne Inkster standing in the ring.]
Wayne Inkster - Ladies and Gentlemen, the next match is a Preliminary Match in the MTL 4 tournament and it is the Main Event of the evening! Introducing first, at a combined weight of 471lbs. Hailing from Detroit, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois respectively, they are WMW Hall of Famers UMBRAGE and SCOTT VYPER!!!!
['Bulls on Parade' by Rage against the Machine plays and Umbrage walks out. A few seconds later, 'Machine Gun Messiah' by Sybreed plays and Scott Vyper walks out. The returning Vyper gets a mixed reaction as he and Umbrage make their way down to the ring and climb in. Almost immediately, they head to a corner and begin talking/arguing with each other.]
Jack Gene - And here come the tag team of Scott Vyper and Umbrage, definitely one of the stranger bedfellows we've seen the MTL produce.
Bill Hughes - Yes, but Father Nathan is not so great in the MTL either. His only other time in the tournament saw him paired with Adam Allocco in what might just have been the worst tag team ever formed.
Jack Gene - ....They weren't that bad.
Bill Hughes - Jack, I know you're a fan of Father Nathan, but I'm sure even he'd say the team sucked. So you can as well.
Wayne Inkster - And introducing their opponents. At a combined weight of 460lbs. Hailing from San Sabastian, Spain and Dublin, Ireland respectively, they are the team of the BLACK FRIAR and the Ace Superior Champion, FATHER NATHAN!!!!
[Suddenly, the lights in the arena dim and the voice of the Black Friar can be heard over the PA: "Now begins the time of the Inquisition. Repent of your sins, that you might be forgiven. Heretics and blasphemers, prepare for thy doom."
After he finishes speaking the sound of monks chanting in Latin can be heard and an eerie organ plays as the Black Friar and Father Nathan walk out. Father Nathan still carries his cross on his back, while the Black Friar is dressed in his trademark robe. They pause at the entryway for a moment as the crowd cheers loudly for Father Nathan, the Black Friar pointing at Vyper and Umbrage. Umbrage replies by giving the duo the finger while Vyper makes a jerking off motion, rolling his eyes. The pair of Holy Men make their way to the ring and enter, conversing over who will be starting off the match first.]
Jack Gene - Hmm, well... it appears we have a name for the Tag Team of Father Nathan and Black Friar.
Bill Hughes - Hmm, I might be able to get behind this team if there going to show some good, old fashioned biblical violence and wrath. I think they're still [bleep]ed though.
[In the ring, Father Nathan and Scott Vyper end up being the two to start the match off and as the bell rings, both men circle around each other before locking up in a collar and elbow tie up, both men trying for superior position and succeeding in a dead standoff.]
Jack Gene - And here we go folks! Current Ace Superior Champion facing off against a former 3 time Great Lakes Champion and former Ace Superior Champion, Scott Vyper. If Nathan can pin Vyper the week after he defeated another former multi time GLC in Kronin, well, he'd make a strong case indeed for moving up to the GLC division himself.
Bill Hughes - Phish, like that'd ever happen. Scott Vyper is a master of preparation. You can bet he's followed what's happened here in WMW very closely ever since he left.
[Almost on cue, Scott Vyper buries his knee into Father Nathan's gut twice, doubling the man over and following up with a clubbing blow to the back, dropping Nathan to a knee. Vyper measures him but Nathan cuts him off with a series of quick, hard punches to the ribs, doubling Vyper over before Nathan nails him with a rising uppercut that sends Vyper staggering backwards towards Umbrage who tags himself in by slapping Vyper's shoulder. The two glare at each other and Vyper steps out to the apron. Umbrage charges Nathan, but Father Nathan lifts Umbrage up and drops him groin first onto his knee stopping Umbrage dead in his tracks before Nathan sends the Hardcore Icon down with a discus punch, bringing a roar from the crowd.]
Jack Gene - And Father Nathan is cleaning house! He's come out firing and has both of the Hall of Famers on the defensive!
Bill Hughes - God Damn it! Why does he ALWAYS do this!?
[Father Nathan pulls Umbrage to his feet and the two trade punches before Umbrage goes low, kicking Nathan in the gut and whipping him into the ropes. As Nathan comes off the ropes, Umbrage leaps into the air, taking him down with a Lou Thesz press, hammering him with right hands. Umbrage pulls Nathan to his feet and drives him into the corner where he hammers him before tagging in Vyper, both men doubleteaming Father Nathan, hammering him with punches before Vyper climbs the top turnbuckle and as Umbrage lifts Nathan up for a Powerbomb, Vyper dives off the top rope, adding force to the impact with which Nathan hits the mat. Umbrage rolls out of the ring and Vyper goes right for a cover but Nathan kicks out after 2.]
Jack Gene - Match almost ended right there, folks! Father Nathan looks hurt from that move, not that I blame him and Vyper is keeping the offense up, stomping away at the downed priest!
Bill Hughes - Give him a kick for me, Scotty!
[Vyper pulls Nathan to his feet and sends him right back to the mat with a double arm DDT. Vyper goes for the cover again but the Black Friar dives in at the last second breaking up the pinfall. Vyper gets up and begins exchanging punches with the Black Friar as Nathan rolls out to the floor, shaking his head at the same time Umbrage comes in and nails the Black Friar with a clothesline, sending the man to the mat where both Vyper and Umbrage stomp and kick the downed monk.]
Jack Gene - And well this match has started to break down here folks! John Law is trying to restore Law and Order here but it's not going well!
Bill Hughes - Let them go! This is great!
[Both fighters wait for the Black Friar to get up before pinballing him back and forth with punches. Umbrage catches him and takes him to the mat with a belly to belly suplex, getting up and daring Vyper to do better. Vyper gestures to Nathan outside and then to the Friar, telling Umbrage to put him away quickly before Nathan recovers. Umbrage repeats the gesture and Vyper rolls his eyes before pulling Friar to his feet, locking him in a double underhook and hitting a double underhook powerbomb onto the Black Friar. Meanwhile, Father Nathan comes into the ring and takes Umbrage down with a Full Nelson slam. Vyper rolls his eyes and moves over towards Nathan, trading punches with him for a few moments as they go back and forth before Father Nathan kicks Vyper in the gut and nails him with a European uppercut, sending Vyper staggering back. Nathan runs forward and nails Vyper with a clothesline, sending both men over the top rope and spilling out to the floor at ringside where both men get to their feet and resume brawling in front of the fans.]
Jack Gene - Wow! This thing is really spilling out of control! Scott Vyper wanted this match over before Nathan could recover and you gotta respect Vyper's eye for talent. People laughed when he said Valora was the next big thing, and then she blew up and proved him right.
Bill Hughes - Pfft! Vyper can't be afraid of that priest... even if that idiot Nathan does look to be hammering Vyper pretty good at the moment.
[Umbrage climbs back into the ring and meets the Black Friar with a clubbing blow to the back, before turning the man around and planting him on the mat with a big time powerbomb. Meanwhile, Nathan and Vyper continue brawling out near and among the fans. Vyper grabs a cup of beer from a fan and throws it in Nathan's face, before sending Nathan up and over the guardrails and into the crowd at large. In the ring, Umbrage takes a moment to see that Vyper has Nathan tied up and nods to himself as he pulls Black Friar to his feet and brings him back to the mat with a neckbreaker. He plays to the crowd, revelling in the boos before Vyper plants Nathan on the guard rail crotch first and turns back to Umbrage.]
Scott Vyper - Pin the [bleep]er already! Let's get this shit over wit-
[Vyper is cut off as Nathan slides down the guard rail and tackles Vyper, the two men rolling down the stairs. While Umbrage and the ref are distracted, Black Friar gets to his knees and nails Umbrage with a low blow from behind, doubling the man over and rolling him up, grabbing Umbrage's tights but Umbrage kicks out after a 2 count and pulls Friar to his feet whipping him hard into the turnbuckle and charging him, nailing Friar with a clothesline, then hitting the ropes and taking Friar face first to the mat with a bulldog.]
Jack Gene - Wow! That was some Valora style offense we just saw from Umbrage there. Perhaps a nod of respect to his former tag team partner there. But this match has spiraled out of control in a big time hurry and is little more then a bar room brawl at the moment.
Bill Hughes - I disagree. This isn't a bar room brawl until a beer bottle gets broken over someone's head. It's a rule.
[Umbrage pulls Friar up and whips him back into the corner. He makes his way over to the corner and lifts Friar up, setting him on the top turnbuckle and climbing up after him. Meanwhile, Nathan and Vyper continue their brawl in and around the fans, Father Nathan obviously trying to fight his way back to ringside to help his partner and Vyper trying to prevent him from doing so. That ends when Nathan charges forward and spears Vyper through the guard barrier and back to the ringside area. Nathan gets to his feet just in time to see Umbrage hit the Riot Act on the Black Friar from the top rope. Umbrage lands on top of him and goes right into the cover. Nathan dives in, but comes up just short, reaching the duo a split second after the three count goes down. The bell ring and the crowd boos heavily, showing it's displeasure at the situation.]
Wayne Inkster - Ladies and Gentlemen, your winners, by pinfall, the team of Scott Vyper and Umbrage!!!!
Jack Gene - Wow! A amazingly short match given the level of talent we had in this match. Scott Vyper seemed intent to end things quick and he definitely got his wish. Both of these teams are newly formed and I think we saw that here tonight. This was not a good, clean tag team match by any means.
Bill Hughes -No it wasn't Jack. Neither team was really on the same page and both let themselves be distracted, but when one team is made up of two Hall of Famers, they have a good shot at overcoming hiccups like that. And I gotta say I love watching Nathan lose.
[Father Nathan stands up and is very displeased at the loss, Umbrage getting up and giving Nathan the finger again, at which point Nathan and Umbrage get face to face, exchanging words. They're interrupted however as Matrix walks out and just stares at Nathan. Umbrage is ushered out of the ring by Vyper and Law as Nathan glances up and meets eyes with Matrix, who points at Nathan. Nathan looks to be in no mood for Matrix and just waves his hand, turning his attention back to his partner.]
Jack Gene - Matrix! As if the amazing and abrupt ending to this match wasn't enough, Matrix is out here now too! He sent a challenge to Nathan for an ASC title shot at Hardcore Hell but I'm surprised to see Nathan react the way he did... it was almost as if he literally blew Matrix off.
Bill Hughes - Well Matrix does have a couple of epic fails against Nathan so far. This is good. If Nathan keeps showing this kind of attitude, I might even cheer for him. Probably not, but he can continue to try and impress me.
Jack Gene - Yeah, I'm sure that's his driving focus, getting you as a fan.
Bill Hughes - It should be everyone's focus.
Louie Cwik Talks with Jade
Writer: Amanda[The shot opens up inside of Jade's locker room. Louie Cwik walks in.]
Louie Cwik - Jade, I'm hoping I could get a few words from you...
[Jade glances at Louie as if he is from another world.]
Louie Cwik - Jade, I'm hoping I could get a few words from you...
[Jade glances at Louie as if he is from another world.]
Louie Cwik - ...about your win tonight and in the MTL4 season.
Jade - You ask me as if our victory was somehow in doubt. Hecate and I both have set records for longest reigning Heartlands Champion. I'm going to set a record for the longest reigning Shoot Champion. I'm a former Great Lakes Champion, Rookie of the Year and Fighter of the Year and you actually think a couple of people who should still be in CMW can beat Hecate and I? You should know who you are interviewing, Mr. Cwik.

[Cwik quietly clears his throat.]
Louie Cwik - What about your refusal to work with Brad Johnson?
Jade - The reasons behind that have been stated in part here earlier tonight. The rest will be revealed in the fullness of time. Suffice it to say that I found Brad Johnson's offer to be... not in my best interests, or the best interests of WMW.
[Jade turns and walks away before more questions can be asked.]
An Invitation
Writer: Reb and Rob[The camera fades into the locker room area backstage, over a black door to one of the private rooms. The crowd explodes into cheers as they realize it's the locker room of 'Father Nathan: ASC Champ' according to the sign. Down lower on the door is a small folded note, stuck neatly with clear, plastic tape. It doesn't take long before Father Nathan steps into view, causing another pop. He glances at the note and looks at it.]
Father Nathan - What in the name of...
[He pauses, takes the note off of the door, and glances at it. He smirks, as if amused, and then chuckles.]
Father Nathan - Heh. Oh, I'll RSVP all right... count on it...
[He drops the note on the ground and steps into his locker room, shutting it firmly. The camera zooms in on the note so it's viewable. It is an invitation, dotted with various flowers and party hats, as if inviting someone to a child's birthday.
Who: Father Nathan and You Know WhoWhat: Falls Count Anywhere, Title MatchWhen: August 6th, 2010Where: Hardcore Hell 2010Why: You need this (and you know it).
RSVP ASAP]
Bill Hughes - Oh, boy...we've seen an invitation like that before!
Jack Gene - What's Nathan going to say, though? And what about his other challengers in the division?
Bill Hughes - Screw all that! What does that mean for...you know who?
[Fade out]
Louie Cwik Talks with Josh Briskout
Writer: Josh[The shot opens up outside of Briskout's locker room. Louie Cwik walks into the scene as Josh is about to enter.]
Louie Cwik - Josh, I'm hoping I can get your reaction to what happened tonight. Do you think you would've lost if AWS Man (also known as Bill) wasn't out there?
Louie Cwik - Josh, I'm hoping I can get your reaction to what happened tonight. Do you think you would've lost if AWS Man (also known as Bill) wasn't out there?
[Josh looks up at him.]
Josh Briskout - What? Really? You're going to ask me if my win was attributed to AWS Man? Look, I should have Giggles kick your ass down this hallway. Seriously, what kind of question is that? At least last week had some meaning. This is just an idiotic question. I had that match in control. AWS Man had some business with Giggles and that towering idiot got involved. In retrospect, I should've let the Insane One take care of him! But hindsight is 20/20 I guess.

Umbrage/Vyper vs. Father Nathan/Black Friar
Writer: AmandaJack Gene - And there's only one more match on the card tonight, folks. The main event of the evening and the second preliminary MTL match of the evening. Father Nathan and the Black Friar vs Umbrage and the retuning WMW Hall of Famer, Scott Vyper. This match should be a great one, don't you think Bill?
Bill Hughes - Only because we will finally see Father Nathan get the ever living crap kicked out of him. Two opponents who are hall of famers and his partner is someone who couldn't BUY a win in the Heartlands division.
Jack Gene - Two Hall of Famers who really don't like each other. At least Father Nathan and the Black Friar are on the same page here.
[The camera switches to the ring to show Wayne Inkster standing in the ring.]
Wayne Inkster - Ladies and Gentlemen, the next match is a Preliminary Match in the MTL 4 tournament and it is the Main Event of the evening! Introducing first, at a combined weight of 471lbs. Hailing from Detroit, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois respectively, they are WMW Hall of Famers UMBRAGE and SCOTT VYPER!!!!
['Bulls on Parade' by Rage against the Machine plays and Umbrage walks out. A few seconds later, 'Machine Gun Messiah' by Sybreed plays and Scott Vyper walks out. The returning Vyper gets a mixed reaction as he and Umbrage make their way down to the ring and climb in. Almost immediately, they head to a corner and begin talking/arguing with each other.]
Jack Gene - And here come the tag team of Scott Vyper and Umbrage, definitely one of the stranger bedfellows we've seen the MTL produce.
Bill Hughes - Yes, but Father Nathan is not so great in the MTL either. His only other time in the tournament saw him paired with Adam Allocco in what might just have been the worst tag team ever formed.
Jack Gene - ....They weren't that bad.
Bill Hughes - Jack, I know you're a fan of Father Nathan, but I'm sure even he'd say the team sucked. So you can as well.
Wayne Inkster - And introducing their opponents. At a combined weight of 460lbs. Hailing from San Sabastian, Spain and Dublin, Ireland respectively, they are the team of the BLACK FRIAR and the Ace Superior Champion, FATHER NATHAN!!!!
[Suddenly, the lights in the arena dim and the voice of the Black Friar can be heard over the PA: "Now begins the time of the Inquisition. Repent of your sins, that you might be forgiven. Heretics and blasphemers, prepare for thy doom."
After he finishes speaking the sound of monks chanting in Latin can be heard and an eerie organ plays as the Black Friar and Father Nathan walk out. Father Nathan still carries his cross on his back, while the Black Friar is dressed in his trademark robe. They pause at the entryway for a moment as the crowd cheers loudly for Father Nathan, the Black Friar pointing at Vyper and Umbrage. Umbrage replies by giving the duo the finger while Vyper makes a jerking off motion, rolling his eyes. The pair of Holy Men make their way to the ring and enter, conversing over who will be starting off the match first.]
Jack Gene - Hmm, well... it appears we have a name for the Tag Team of Father Nathan and Black Friar.
Bill Hughes - Hmm, I might be able to get behind this team if there going to show some good, old fashioned biblical violence and wrath. I think they're still [bleep]ed though.
[In the ring, Father Nathan and Scott Vyper end up being the two to start the match off and as the bell rings, both men circle around each other before locking up in a collar and elbow tie up, both men trying for superior position and succeeding in a dead standoff.]
Jack Gene - And here we go folks! Current Ace Superior Champion facing off against a former 3 time Great Lakes Champion and former Ace Superior Champion, Scott Vyper. If Nathan can pin Vyper the week after he defeated another former multi time GLC in Kronin, well, he'd make a strong case indeed for moving up to the GLC division himself.
Bill Hughes - Phish, like that'd ever happen. Scott Vyper is a master of preparation. You can bet he's followed what's happened here in WMW very closely ever since he left.
[Almost on cue, Scott Vyper buries his knee into Father Nathan's gut twice, doubling the man over and following up with a clubbing blow to the back, dropping Nathan to a knee. Vyper measures him but Nathan cuts him off with a series of quick, hard punches to the ribs, doubling Vyper over before Nathan nails him with a rising uppercut that sends Vyper staggering backwards towards Umbrage who tags himself in by slapping Vyper's shoulder. The two glare at each other and Vyper steps out to the apron. Umbrage charges Nathan, but Father Nathan lifts Umbrage up and drops him groin first onto his knee stopping Umbrage dead in his tracks before Nathan sends the Hardcore Icon down with a discus punch, bringing a roar from the crowd.]
Jack Gene - And Father Nathan is cleaning house! He's come out firing and has both of the Hall of Famers on the defensive!
Bill Hughes - God Damn it! Why does he ALWAYS do this!?
[Father Nathan pulls Umbrage to his feet and the two trade punches before Umbrage goes low, kicking Nathan in the gut and whipping him into the ropes. As Nathan comes off the ropes, Umbrage leaps into the air, taking him down with a Lou Thesz press, hammering him with right hands. Umbrage pulls Nathan to his feet and drives him into the corner where he hammers him before tagging in Vyper, both men doubleteaming Father Nathan, hammering him with punches before Vyper climbs the top turnbuckle and as Umbrage lifts Nathan up for a Powerbomb, Vyper dives off the top rope, adding force to the impact with which Nathan hits the mat. Umbrage rolls out of the ring and Vyper goes right for a cover but Nathan kicks out after 2.]
Jack Gene - Match almost ended right there, folks! Father Nathan looks hurt from that move, not that I blame him and Vyper is keeping the offense up, stomping away at the downed priest!
Bill Hughes - Give him a kick for me, Scotty!
[Vyper pulls Nathan to his feet and sends him right back to the mat with a double arm DDT. Vyper goes for the cover again but the Black Friar dives in at the last second breaking up the pinfall. Vyper gets up and begins exchanging punches with the Black Friar as Nathan rolls out to the floor, shaking his head at the same time Umbrage comes in and nails the Black Friar with a clothesline, sending the man to the mat where both Vyper and Umbrage stomp and kick the downed monk.]
Jack Gene - And well this match has started to break down here folks! John Law is trying to restore Law and Order here but it's not going well!
Bill Hughes - Let them go! This is great!
[Both fighters wait for the Black Friar to get up before pinballing him back and forth with punches. Umbrage catches him and takes him to the mat with a belly to belly suplex, getting up and daring Vyper to do better. Vyper gestures to Nathan outside and then to the Friar, telling Umbrage to put him away quickly before Nathan recovers. Umbrage repeats the gesture and Vyper rolls his eyes before pulling Friar to his feet, locking him in a double underhook and hitting a double underhook powerbomb onto the Black Friar. Meanwhile, Father Nathan comes into the ring and takes Umbrage down with a Full Nelson slam. Vyper rolls his eyes and moves over towards Nathan, trading punches with him for a few moments as they go back and forth before Father Nathan kicks Vyper in the gut and nails him with a European uppercut, sending Vyper staggering back. Nathan runs forward and nails Vyper with a clothesline, sending both men over the top rope and spilling out to the floor at ringside where both men get to their feet and resume brawling in front of the fans.]
Jack Gene - Wow! This thing is really spilling out of control! Scott Vyper wanted this match over before Nathan could recover and you gotta respect Vyper's eye for talent. People laughed when he said Valora was the next big thing, and then she blew up and proved him right.
