Graveyard Shift 129 - August 27th, 2010 - WMW Arena in Cleveland, Ohio

A Move Into The Future

Writer: Garvin

[The shot opens up on the stage as Brad Johnson stands looking towards the ring. He smiles.]

Brad Johnson - Welcome everyone to Graveyard Shift 129!

[The crowd pops and he smiles.]

Brad Johnson - Look, I made it clear I wasn't going to go down to the Wrestling Midwest ring anymore and use it as my soapbox. And I'm going to respect that, and stay out here on the stage. But, there's been a few things happening as of late that I feel needs to be addressed front and center. And, I might be speaking for myself here, but - since the 100th and 101st episodes of Graveyard Shift, it just seems like things have gotten a bit... stagnant. Maybe it was when St. Marie decided that those who earned the right to compete in high level matches need not appear on camera at all. Or, maybe the idea that Champions didn't need to appear here on Graveyard Shifts at all. Or, maybe it's that a few people around here think that they can leak every bit of information about what type of decisions we're making and not be reprimanded for it.

[He looks around.]

Brad Johnson - Look, I know that what we've all seen is a lack of effort. Both on the booking side, the confidentiality side, and on the competition side. The product has become... stagnant. And, I see that. I know the fighters in the back see that. And, I know you, the WMW fans, see that.

[There's a mixed reaction.]

Brad Johnson - I can't claim that this is all one man's fault. I think we all got caught in this lull and... went with it. But that's going to change. Starting tonight.

[He looks down and obviously holds back some anger. He looks back up and smiles.]

Brad Johnson - Granted, you might have already heard part of what I'm about to say, but that doesn't mean that the impact of this message is lessened. We must take back the uniqueness of the situations we have created and start again. When Jack Reynolds came to me with his idea to bring the Shoot Championship back, we wanted to make sure that it kept the same level of respect, it honored the tradition, and was held on a pedestal as it had been in years past. And, all though, I believe Jade has been a good Champion, unfortunately, it's clear that this title has been lost in the mix. The Shoot Championship is not a wrestling title. It's not even defended in a ring. The Lions' Den doesn't have the same give. There is no escape to the outside. This is an all out fight and the injuries in those matches last a lot longer than injuries sustained inside of the wrestling ring. And that's not discounting the Wrestling Midwest ring. But to suggest that Jade can compete in that match, and then be expected to compete each and every week is not giving her, or the Shoot Championship the respect that it deserves. And to suggest that a challenger can fight each and every week, and have stiff competition to make it through, yet still be ready to compete at a level they need to be at to challenge for that title, is again, not giving this title the respect that it deserves.

[He shakes his head and looks around.]

Brad Johnson - In two weeks, we will be bringing to you and to the entire ESN subscriber-base Burn 2010. And at that event, we plan on making sure we are treating each and every Championship match with the respect that it deserves, and that includes the Shoot title. Instead following the road we've been trudging down, we're going to do something a bit different this time around. We're going to give the Champion a chance to prepare, all though, we all make choices. Jade chose to join the MTL4, and we can't change that. If she wins tonight, she will compete next week and won't have that opportunity to rest, train and prepare. But that was her choice. But, we are prepared to give Jade the chance she needs to prepare if she takes it. As will the Challenger. And, right now, that Challenger will be named.

Jack Gene - Wait, we're going to find out now who Jade will defend the title against at Burn? Tonight?

[He looks around and smiles.]

Brad Johnson - Because of everything that has happened over the last two to three months, the Shoot Division has been hit by a lack of competition. And, one of those who were pulled from active competition and challenging for the Shoot title was removed because of his fight against Sault St. Marie. Tonight, though, tonight is his return. Not just back to WMW, but back to challenging for the Shoot Champion. Ladies and Gentlemen, let me introduce to you, the challenger for the Shoot Championship match at Burn 2010 on ESN...

["Grounds for Divorce" by Elbow plays over the speaker as the crowd erupts into a chorus of boos.]

Brad Johnson - Rrrryyyvennn!

[Ryven walks out from backstage, shakes hands with Brad Johnson and stands off to the side as Johnson brings the mic to his lips.]

Brad Johnson - Ryven, it's good to see you back here in Wrestling Midwest. And I want to make it clear, the glass ceiling that you hit because of Sault St. Marie? It left with him. And that goes for every single fighter in the back. It's time we get back to what's important. And, this isn't about me. This isn't about anyone else in management. This is about the competition inside of that ring, and the Lions' Den. Now, there will be criticisms against me for making this decision. It's not something we announced. It's not something we discussed with the current Champion, Jade. But, word seems to travel fast. And all though this could be seen as a "peace offering" to Ryven, because of his involvement in illuminating the corruption that had been keeping him, and many others, from doing what they came here to do. But, Ryven since he entered the Shoot Division, he remained a top contender. And he would have received that shot if certain people didn't stand in his way.

[He looks at Ryven and smiles. Ryven crosses his hands in front of his waist and gives a curt smile and nod toward Johnson.]

Brad Johnson - Ryven you have exactly two weeks to prepare. Good luck. Next week at GS130, we will do the official weigh-in and contract signing for this match.

[With that, Ryven refuses to acknowledge the booing fans as he walks backstage. Johnson looks back towards the crowd.]

Brad Johnson - So, that's part one of my announcements. Part two? The Heartlands Championship division changes tonight. The main point of this division is to be the starting ground for new fighters, for up and comers, or for fighters just looking for an opportunity to stand in the spotlight. But, what we've seen... once the Champion gets the title, it seems like they... stop doing what they were doing to get to that level. Instead of the HLC winning the title, defending it, showing up each and every week and taking advantage of the limelight, it seems like they're just sitting back and relaxing.

[Johnson shrugs.]

Brad Johnson - To me, it seems counterproductive to place the same 30-day policy that's on the GLC, or the ASC, or even the SC on the Heartlands Champion. What we don't want is complacency with being stagnant. It's become a wasted opportunity, and tonight that ends. I have personally reached out to Gras-Dawg, and he is here tonight. Not just to compete, but to defend the Heartlands Championship. And, as long as he is Champion, he will be required to defend it every two weeks. The other fighters in that division will also be required to compete for their shot at the title every week.

[He looks at the WMW big screen and a small bracket is shown.]

Brad Johnson - Tonight, we will see Tyson Banes take on Thomas Kilik and Boris Drago take on The Angel of Death. The winners of those two matches will compete at GS130 to decide who will fight the Heartlands Champion at Burn 2010.

[He turns back to the crowd.]

Brad Johnson - If Gras-Dawg successfully defends his title tonight, he will take on that challenger at Burn 2010. But, tonight, he's got to get through the self-proclaimed King of the Leaderboard. The man who's been on top of his division and on top of the roster for the last 2 weeks, Arick Wills.

[The crowd gives a mixed reaction.]

Brad Johnson - That is your night's Main Event. And that is what I will leave you with. 1 match to determine who will walk into Burn with the HLC, and 2 matches to help determine who they'll defend it against. Thank you, and enjoy Graveyard Shift 129.

[With that, he turns and leaves the stage.]

Opening Commentary

Writer: Garvin

[The shot opens up showing the WMW and Graveyard Shift logos in the WMW Arena as big bursts of pyro go off in the background and the crowd in attendance cheers loudly. The camera pans to show Jack Gene and Bill Hughes, dressed up in their best commentating attire.]

Jack Gene - Hello and welcome everyone to WMW Graveyard Shift 129! And we are coming to you from the WMW Arena in Cleveland, Ohio. My name is Jack Gene and I'm alongside Bill Hughes, and well, we all heard what Brad Johnson just had to say. We've got an action packed show, including two MTL4 matches, two matches where the winners will fight next week to decide who will fight the Heartlands Champion at Burn 2010. And, the Heartlands Championship is also up in the air, as Gras-Dawg defends it in tonight's main event against Arick Wills.

Bill Hughes - The King of the Leaderboard.

Jack Gene - Self proclaimed King of the Leaderboard, but yes. Johnson made all of our announcements, so we're going to go right into our first match, the opening contest. Let's turn it to inside the ring where Wayne Inkster is ready to announce this match.

Umbrage/Vyper vs. The Inquisition

Writer: Garvin

[The shot switches back the center of the ring. Wayne Inkster is in the ring. Just then, Scott Vyper appears at the top of the ramp. His music hits and he makes his way down to the ring.]

Inkster announces the opening contest. He introduces the first member of the first tag team, Scott Vyper. Jack is unsure why Vyper agreed to be Umbrage's partner if he wasn't going to come down with him. Bill suggests that not all good tag teams need to fit the same mold.

[Vyper slides into the ring and receives a mixed reaction from the crowd. Just then, Bulls on Parade hits and out walks Umbrage.]

Inkster announces Umbrage. Jack notes that Umbrage has taken 5 different partners to MTL history: Dess, AWS Man, Sub-Beast, Garvin and Outlaw Biker. Bill Hughes predicts that he could add Scott Vyper to that list because the Drunken Snakebite, as he calls them, will be the MTL4 winners and will win the titles off of Revolution.

[As Umbrage roll into the ring, the lights in the arena dim.]

The voice of Black Friar says that this begins the time of the Inquisition. He tells all to repent for their sins, so that they'll be forgiven. He then tells heretics and blasphemers to prepare for their judgment.

[Then, a Church bell tolls three times and over the PA, a group of Gregorian monks can be heard reciting the Latin poem 'Dies Irae'. Father Nathan emerges from the back, walking side by side with the Black Friar, both men also adding their voices to those on the PA. They make their way down to ringside, where Nathan sets his cross down and both men then climb into the ring, conversing with each other before the match.]

Jack is still impressed that Father Nathan continues to push through this tournament. Bill thinks it's a bit idiotic, and suggests that Father Nathan doesn't need to be out here. Jack reminds him that Nathan said that he wouldn't let his partner fight alone. Bill's not sure how it's been any different. It's just that, Nathan's been out here to watch.

[Nathan heads to the center of the ring, despite Black Friar wanting to start the match. Vyper meets him in the center as the ref calls for the bell. Vyper lands a stiff kick to Nathan's chest, sending him falling backwards. He catches his feet, but Vyper catches him with a right hand. Vyper continues on the offensive, pushing Nathan back into the ropes. Nathan goes into boxing mode, trying to block the attacks and punch wildly, but Vyper keeps a good distance with eye pokes.]

Jack says that Father Nathan is a lot slower this match than he was the last match. But, he thinks the ref is even slower, if he's not catching the illegal moves by Scott. Bill shrugs off the idea, reminding Jack that he's a veteran, and veterans know how to win. Except for MOD and Outlaw Biker. But, they're the exceptions to the rule. Vyper has held the GLC and that type of experience means everything.

[Vyper tags in Umbrage, who continues on the attack. Umbrage and Nathan trade punches, but Umbrage gets a knee into him, knocking him down to the mat. Umbrage attempts a Standing Boston Crab, but Nathan catches him in a quick rollup. It only gets 1 and Umbrage immediately gets back to his feet and levels Nathan with a clothesline. Umbrage works on his neck and back, trying to weaken him with shoulder and neck locks. He tags back in Vyper. They double team him against the ropes, heyo, before whipping him across the ring. As Nathan charges back, Umbrage and Vyper stare eachother down causing themselves to be distracted. At the last second, they go for a clothesline, but Nathan ducks under it. He turns and launches a right hand into Umbrage which sends him spinning. The crowd pops. He takes Vyper down with a clothesline and makes the hot tag to Black Friar. Friar jumps into the ring. Vyper is the first to greet him and he gets hit with a back elbow. Umbrage charges and gets tossed in the air with a back body drop. Friar quickly gets to Vyper and locks on an arm lock as Vyper struggles to get back to his feet. He takes him back down to the mat with a hip toss and locks on a rear naked choke.]

Bill criticizes Father Nathan for not allowing Black Friar to start the match off. He says he just barely escaped being destroyed out there. Jack says that Vyper and Umbrage only have themselves to blame for not capitalizing.

[After about a minute of keeping Vyper on the ground, Vyper powers up. He pushes Friar into the ropes and shoots him across the ring. As Friar bounces back, Vyper goes for a clothesline. Friar ducks under it. They turn back towards eachother and Friar hits 'In Pace Requiscat', driving his knees into Vyper's face. Friar pops up quickly and quickly tags in Father Nathan. Nathan comes in and pulls up Vyper. He lifts Vyper up onto his shoulders and goes for his finisher, but Vyper pushes off and slides off his back. As Father Nathan turns back to him, Vyper rakes him in the eyes causing Nathan to turn away. Vyper twists him around lifts him up onto his shoulders going for his finisher. Nathan struggles and slides off his back. As Vyper turns around, Nathan lifts him up onto his shoulders and drops him, slamming his knee into Vyper's head. Umbrage stands on the outside of the ring shaking his head. He makes the cover and gets the 3-count. The match is over.]

Inkster announces that The Inquisition are the winners and will move to the MTL4 finals at GS130. Jack is very impressed with how Father Nathan continued to fight in this match, considering his condition. Bill says that it's an obvious disappointment for him, and for Umbrage. They watch Umbrage walk up the ramp by himself, as he leaves Vyper in the ring, and Bill can only think that this has to be heartwrenching to him. Two hall of famers, a dream team, knocked out of the MTL4. Jack says that Umbrage had a chance to make the save and he didn't. But, that's not what this is about. It's time to look at Father Nathan and Black Friar, the Inquisition who are on their way to become the future of the MTL.

[Vyper sits up in the ring as the ref checks on him. The scene fades as the Inquisition walk up the ramp together.]

AWS Man Makes A Challenge...s

Writer: Aaron

[Cut backstage, where Louie Cwik is standing by with a microphone. He does not look very excited. Seeing that he's on, he sighs heavily and begins to speak.]

Louie Cwik – Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time … WMW Hall of Famer, AWS Man (also known as Bill).

[The crowd boos as the camera pans out a bit to show the Insane One standing next to Louie. Farther in the background, silently holding Pen and looking unhappy, is Lilly in her Princess Leia-styled metal bikini. AWS Man (also known as Bill) crosses his arms and shakes his head in apparent disgust.]

AWS Man (also known as Bill) – What the freak's the matter with you? This is the second time in two weeks that you've been given the chance to bask in my presence. I should be the one pissed off that I have to be around you … and I freakin' am. So get out of my sight.

[Louie looks confused.]

Louie Cwik – But, didn't you request this time to be interviewed?

AWS Man (also known as Bill) – Yeah, and clearly I can do a better job of it than you, chunkball. Now freakin' git!

[Louie scurries off, while AWS Man (also known as Bill) uncrosses his arms and looks into the camera.]

AWS Man (also known as Bill) – Listen up, freakin' America. I'm mad as heckaroony and I'm not gonna take it anymore. All I wanted to do was win the tag titles one more time to prove that I'm the best at everything ever. That shouldn't be that hard, right? But it's freakin' impossible to do that when every tag partner I have ends up being a loser of epic proportionitudes. Last week Brisket needed to redeem himself after royally screwing up at GS127 by fondling Pen. That should've been easy enough to do; I don't think either one of the Honkey Grandmas had won a single thing ever, even freakin' participation awards. I could've beaten them both by myself, asleep, with both hands tied behind my back, and DEAD. I just wanted to see if Bitchout could do the same. And clearly, he can't. He proved that if I'm not there to carry him every single step of the way, he fails miserably. And now we're out of the freakin' tournament.

[The Insane One sighs and shakes his head.]

AWS Man (also known as Bill) – But that just proved he never deserve to be my partner to begin with. I mean, I'm so great I win Fighter of the Week awards even when my partner gets pinned to lose the match; so what the freak was I doing teaming with a scrub like Brisk Iced Tea, someone who by comparison makes Todd Rattylsnake actually look like he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame? I'll tell you what I was doing: I was tricked by someone who claimed he could help me with my concussion problem, but didn't actually end up doing a damn freakin' thi-

[AWS Man (also known as Bill) abruptly cuts himself off and clears his throat.]

AWS Man (also known as Bill) – Never mind, ignore that. I don't even have a concussion problem, Tits Out just made me think I did so he could scam me. But he's going to pay. I've already freakin' gotten it cleared with management, and next week, I've got a one-on-one match with him. Then everybody will see the price for wasting my freakin' time. AWS Man (also known as Bill), out!

[Louie Cwik steps back on screen and raises his microphone.]

Louie Cwik – There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Next week on Graveyard Shift 130, AWS Man (also known as Bill) will go head to head with Josh Briskout…

[Louie trails off as AWS Man (also known as Bill) glares a hole through him.]

AWS Man (also known as Bill) – Uh … what the freak do you think you're doing, pork sundae? What would make you think it's ever freakin' OK to interrupt me?

Louie Cwik – I'm … sorry, weren't you done?

AWS Man (also known as Bill) – Of course not!

Louie Cwik – But you said "AWS Man (also known as Bill), out!"

AWS Man (also known as Bill) – That's just something cool people freakin' say. You obviously wouldn't understand. Now go back to your hobbit hole!

[Louie quickly waddles off screen as AWS Man (also known as Bill) snorts in irritation and turns back to the camera.]

AWS Man (also known as Bill)As I was freakin' about to say, that's not all I've gotten cleared with management. See, one of the things that this stupid MTL tournament's been distracting me from, other than watching porn of course, is getting my Great Lakes title back. Another tag title reign would be nice and all, but there's nothing quite like being GLC. Plus, another win will only improve on the "most GLC reigns" record that I already hold, and make it that much more freakin' impossible for anyone else to ever hope to pass. Now, our current champion has probably forgotten due to all the wacky tobacky that I'm sure he used to smoke during his stupid rocker gimmick that I took away from him … but I never used my rematch from when Punch Out!'s incompetence cost me my last reign. Well, I'mma using it now. At Burnination, Chrome and I will go at it one more time, and once again, I'm going to get what I want. I already took his persona and his valet, who freakin' has much better fashion sense now thanks to me…

[AWS Man (also known as Bill) jerks his thumb over his shoulder at Lilly, who looks down in embarrassment.]

AWS Man (also known as Bill) – But he apparently didn't learn his lesson, so now I have to take his belt too, and his pathetic delusions that he can freakin' be the face of this company instead of me. Maybe when I leave him with absolutely nothing left this time, the message will actually sink in. AWS Man (also known as Bill), out!

[The Insane One stands there a moment awkwardly, then looks off camera and yells in irritation.]

AWS Man (also known as Bill) – That means I'm finished, freakstick! Geez, such amateurs around here…

[AWS Man (also known as Bill) stalks off, shaking his head, as Louie walks back on camera, appearing slightly relieved that the "interview" segment is over.]

Louie Cwik – Huge news, as it appears that Burn's main event will be Kronin vs. AWS Man (also known as Bill) doing battle one more time for the GLC! Back to you, Jack and Bill.

[Louie can be heard muttering under his breath as the camera cuts away.]

Louie Cwik – I hope Kronin beats that jackass so bad…

[The scene fades.]

Burn 2010 on ESN

Writer: Jordan

[We open up on a dark screen. Kick In The Teeth by Papa Roach plays in the background as blood red letters fade onto the screen.]

Sunday, September 12, 2010

[A deep voice reads what is written, and then the screen changes to a bare, windswept desert. There are nothing but sand dunes in sight, save for one dark figure walking towards the camera. As the chorus of the song hits the screen flashes to Gras-Dawg hitting the Voodoo Plunge.]

Feels like a kick in the teeth, I can take it.

[We flash to the figure walking in the desert just in time to see him stumble a little. The it flashes back to Father Nathan hitting the Price of Sin on Hecate.]

Throw your stones and you won't see me break it.

[Back to the figure in the desert as he falls to his knees, then gets back up and walks steadily on. We flash to Jade nearly taking Jordan Keyser's head off with a wicked roundhouse kick.]

Say what you want, take your shots

[Once again to the desert to see the figure, a little more clearly now, obviously a man in a business suit. The suit is dirty, his suit jacket open, his tie loosened. We can barely make out the fact that his hair is matted with sweat. Then we flash to Kronin lifting Dru and dropping her with Death by Metal as the crowd goes wild.]

You're setting me free with one more kick in the teeth 
(Na na na na na) 
Kick in the Teeth (na na na na na na)

[We flash back to the desert, and the man is now lying face down, motionless in the sand. The camera zooms in on him as a voice comes across the speakers.]

For the first time ever, WMW and ESN collaborate to bring you the greatest show on earth.

[The man's hand twitches.]

Burn 2010.

Get it while its hot.

[With that, we fade to a Burn 10 WMW/ESN logo.]



An Update With Jasmine Lucky

Writer: Reb

[In the backstage area, Louie Cwik is found with Jasmine Lucky, who is wearing her typical green tank top and her long hair back in a ponytail.]

Louie Cwik - I'm here with one half of the Lucky Ones, Jasmine Lucky. Now Jasmine, we haven't had much of a chance to hear from you in the last few weeks, since your loss to Umbrage for the Shoot Contendership. Are you still wrestling for WMW and will we be seeing you anytime soon?

Jasmine Lucky - Yea, I just signed a new contract. Part of the agreement was two weeks of paid leave. I'll be back next week.

Louie Cwik - Now, your brother was not renewed. Is that correct, and if so...why?

Jasmine Lucky - This was never what Justin wanted to do, Louie. I mean, he loves fighting, but his passion is poker. So he'll be continuing his training in Central Michigan Wrestling, and he'll probably be back around the New Year, when the poker season is coming to a break.

Louie Cwik - With Burn coming up, where do you see yourself fitting in? Are you going for a championship or a certain match in general?

Jasmine Lucky - I think it's too late for me to get into a title picture at this point, but there are some people on the roster I'd like to take a crack out. I wouldn't mind a rematch against Bridge, especially, or maybe take on another big name to put me on the map.

Louie Cwik - Do you think you could stand toe to toe with a legend? You came short against Umbrage. What about AWS Man, Scott Vyper or--

[Without warning, Louie Cwik is interupted as someone walks in the frame on Jasmine's side. The man is immediately recognized as Scotty Kames, aka WMW Hall of Famer the Matrix. The crowd is heard immediately hurling boo's in the background.]

Louie Cwik - Oh! Uh, Matrix...

[Matrix looks at Jasmine Lucky, who doesn't back down.]

Matrix - Get out of here, blondie.

Jasmine Lucky - This is MY interview, you d--

[Matrix suddenly brings his hand up and slugs the blonde in the head, causing her to fall backwards against the wall and then fall out of frame. Louie Cwik tenses up and the crowd goes back to heavy booing. Matrix turns to Louie, looking like he's about to hit him, and then just snatches the microphone. Louie Cwik escapes immediately and Trix looks at the camera.]

Matrix - I'm back and I'm here to stay. Enough of the dumb blonde, wanna-be wrestlers and the emo hippies coming in here and acting like they deserve what I've waited for my entire career. No more watching the fakes and the hypocrites thrive on the love of the idiots. My mission is to right the wrongs you people have created...and create a new status quo here in WMW. I will lead the revolution, and I will create a new world...a new legacy.

[He looks back at the fallen body of Jasmine Lucky, who is just now recovering from the huge punch she took to the cranium. He then glares at the camera, keeping a very serious look across his lips.]

Matrix - Welcome to Cyperspace, WMW. Enjoy the ride.

[Cut to black.]

Boris vs. The Angel of Death

Writer: Garvin

[The shot opens up inside the ring, where Wayne Inkster stands in the center of the ring. Boris Drago' music hits and he walks out to the ring, alongside Dasha.]

Inkster announces the next match, the second number one contender match to decide who will challenge for the Heartlands Championship at Burn 2010. He introduces the first fighter, Boris Drago. Jack is very impressed with Boris Drago. His size and strength have been unstoppable since his arrival here. Bill reminds him that Shank was obviously injured and that was a bad example.

[As he enters the ring, he begins to crack his knuckles. He stares at the entrance, waiting for The Angel of Death to arrive. Just then, The Angel of Death's music hits. And, as she has done for 3 straight weeks, she glides from the WMW big screen on a zip line.]

Jack started to build up the fact that she was found during the Wrestling Southwest tour, but Bill Hughes says that he needs new material. Instead, he should be talking up the fact that she is now 2-0 in WMW competition. And how no one has been able to stop her. Jack agrees and says that she is being touted as a future Heartlands Champion. Bill says that it's unlikely that future will be any time soon, because tonight she takes on Boris Drago and her winning streak will end.

[She hits the ring, landing on top of the turnbuckles, before doing a backflip, and landing on her feet. In the opposite corner, Boris Drago is all business. AOD is checked for foreign objects by the ref. As the bell rings, Boris and TAOD meet in the center. Boris immediately challenges her to a game of mercy, but she instead bounces off the ropes and tries to take him down with a forearm. He laughs at her attempt. She'll go again, but this time Boris tries for a clothesline. She rolls through it and hits a dropkick to his face. He stumbles backwards, but doesn't show much of a stun. She'll throw more forearms and try to take him down, but every time, he remains standing. She charges the ropes one last time, and as she charges, Boris goes for a big boot. She slides under it, and as she turns back around, she hops to her feet and dives towards his knee, hitting him with a chop block, which sends him crumpling into the ropes.]

Bill says that we finally saw what kind of fighter TAOD is: dirty. Only a coward would take him down with a chop block.

[Boris remains down on one knee. She launches a stiff kick to his back, then another to his face. He blocks that one and uses her momentum against her, tossing her through the ropes. She holds on and lands on the apron. She quickly gets back to her feet and runs along the apron to the corner. He gets back to his feet. She climbs up and launches herself off with a cross body splash, but he catches her and slams her down, using all of his weight to crush her. He kneels over her with a smile on his face as she cringes in pain. He makes a cover, but only gets a 1-count. He gets back to his feet and waits for her to stand back up. As she gets back to her feet, he lands a stiff boot to the side of her head, sending her crashing back into the mat. Boris pulls up TAOD and puts her into a bearhug submission.]

Bill says that this is what he was talking about. The Angel of Death, tonight, will be the Receiver of Death, after Boris is done with her.

[Suddenly, Angel grabs Boris by the head and shifts her weight, causing Boris to fall forward, hitting a devastating DDT. She pops up as the crowd cheers. She holds her back in pain. She runs towards the corner and climbs up. As she reaches the top, she turns and measures him up. Boris struggles to get to his feet. He holds his head. She launches herself towards him, but just as she is about to connect with a splash, he slams his fist into her face knocking her out cold. The crowd goes silent. He makes the cover and the ref calls the 3-count. The match is over.]

Inkster announces Boris as the winner and will go on to GS130 to fight for a shot at the Heartlands Championship.

[The Angel of Death struggles on the floor, holding her head as the ref checks on her. Boris stands up and roars. He gets booed out of the building. Just then, the lights go out. As they come back on, TAOD is no where to be seen. Boris continues to celebrate as the scene fades.]

Vyper Responds

Writer: Scott

[The shot opens up in the back as Louie Cwik stands next to Scott Vyper.]

Louie Cwik - Scott, tough loss out there. You two went in as favorites and got knocked out of the competition. How surprised are you that it ended so soon?

[Scott glares at him.]

Scott Vyper - I don't care what anyone says... if it wasn't for Umbrage's addictions, we wouldn't have lost out there! I'm carrying this team and the whole damn world knows it! Now get out of my face.

[The scene fades as Vyper walks away.]

The Celestial Avatars vs. The Foxxy Grandpas

Writer: Garvin

[The shot opens up at ringside as The Foxxy Grandpas dance in the center of the ring as their intro continues. Wayne Inkster stands in the center of the ring.]

Inkster announces the next match and introduces The Foxxy Grandpas. Jack and Bill welcome back the viewers at home. Jack reminds everyone that this is the last match of the second round of the MTL4 tournament. The winner of this match will take on The Inquisition. Bill says that he's torn about this match. He's starting to really understand why Tim Tyler dispises the two women they're about to face. But at the same time, he's sick of this charade that goes on in the ring each week. The dancing, the music, the tandem bike, they have no place in wrestling.

[The music fades and out from the back appear Hecate and Jade. Their music begins and they walk to the ring. Hecate walks slowly, with Jade sticking by her side.]

Bill says that it's unfortunate that Hecate is in such a poor condition. It's unlikely they'll make it past this week. Jack agrees that Hecate does look in bad shape. Very stiff and it will be interesting to see how she does.

[Hecate and Jade roll into the ring. As the music fades, referee Luna Pier checks them both out. She then calls for the bell. Jade and Handlebeards McGee start the match. McGee charges across the ring, but Jade quickly locks him in a headlock. He fights out of it and puts her into a hammerlock, but she reverses it. McGee tries to move out of it, but she keeps it tight. He reaches over his shoulder, but she keeps her distance. He reaches to his side, but she's not there. He reaches underneath him, but she positions her legs away from his reach. So, he butt bumps her, knocking her backwards. He then locks on a headlock and pulls her into his corner. Tyler tags in and lands a right hand into her midsection before targeting her arm. She rolls through and takes Tyler over with an arm drag. As Tyler stands back up, she takes him over with another arm drag. She gets him into a hammerlock, and walks him back to her corner. Hecate tags in.]

Bill marks this as the turn of the match. Only because it's obvious to him that Hecate is in no shape to compete.

[Hecate comes in comes in and takes Tyler by the arm and keeps him in an arm lock. He tries to struggle out of it causing her to take him over with a hip toss, before locking him in a headlock as she keeps him on the mat. She continues this for about a minute, but Tyler fights to his feet. He breaks out of the headlock, but she knocks him back down to the mat with a clotheslines. She tags in Jade, who continues on the offensive, going after his knee with a few stomps and then locking on a single leg standing boston crab.]

Okay, so Bill isn't completely down on the Celestial Avatars. They seem to be handling themselves pretty well. And Hecate got a decent bit of offense in, which seemed to catch The Foxxy Grandpas off guard. No one was expecting her to get Tim to the ground.

[Tim continues to struggle to reach the ropes, but Jade pulls him back towards the center of the ring and drops a boot into his midsection. She tags in Hecate. Hecate immediate goes for a pin, but only gets a 2-count. She locks on a Texas Cloverleaf. Just then, on the outside, out walks Bob Wire and John Bundy. The boos immediately attack them with a fury, but they just walk towards the ring. Wire carries a chair with him.]

Seeing BBW coming down to the ring upsets Jack. They weren't scheduled to be here and are obviously here for no good. Bill agrees and says that Tim needs to make a tag quick.

[In the ring, Tyler crawls to the ropes. He reaches and the ref quickly starts to count to 5. Hecate lets go before he gets to 3. She pulls him up and lays a right hand against the side of his head. And another. He stumbles backwards. She throws another hook, but this time he blocks it and he boots her in the midsection. Suddenly, he drops her on her head with a DDT. Both lay motionless in the center of the ring. McGee and Jade both reach for the tag, but their partners are not moving. The referee starts the 10-count. Outside the ring, Bundy and Wire seperate. Bundy goes to the side with Jade and begins to argue with her.]

The ref tells Bundy to get away from ringside. Hecate gives him a piece of her mind as well, but Bundy says he isn't doing anything.

[On the opposite side of the ring, Wire pulls McGee off the apron and slams the head of the chair into his midsection. McGee falls to his knees. Wire lifts up the chair and cracks it over his back. The crowd goes silent right before another thunderous round of boos. Hecate gets to her knees inside the ring, as does Tim Tyler. Both dart to their corner to make the hot tag. Hecate tags in Jade, but McGee is no where to be found. Tyler looks outside and sees Wire hovering over McGee. He turns back to the center of the ring. Just then, Jade flies through the air and hits Tyler square in the face with the Jade Dragon Kick. He collapses. In the corner, Hecate pulls herself up on the apron, and slumps against the turnbuckle. Jade makes the cover and the ref counts to 3. The match is over.]

Inkster announces The Celestial Avatars have advanced to the final round of the MTL4 tournament and will face The Inquisition at GS130. Jack remarks that Hecate doesn't look well, as she continues to slump in the corner.

[The ref raises Jade's hand. She looks over and sees Hecate and immediately slides out of the ring and pulls Hecate down. They walk up the ramp together as Hecate uses Jade as a crutch of sorts.]


After Match Happenings

Writer: Garvin

[Inside the ring, Wire rolls McGee into the ring.]

Jack Gene - Now, what exactly are Bundy and Wire doing out here for? Why did they attack McGee? What

[Bundy and Wire both slide in after him. Wire places the chair onto the mat. He then grabs McGee by the handlebeards and pulls him up.]

Jack Gene - No... come on, you've already done the damage! You've already took them out of MTL4, don't do it, Wire!

[He then puts him into a front facelock, then lefts him up and slams him down with a powerbomb onto the chair.]

Jack Gene - No! My god!

Bill Hughes - That was just sickening. He broke McGee in half with that powerbomb.

[Tyler tries to get to Wire, but Bundy catches him and slams him down to the mat with a sidewalk slam. Without much reason, BBW hover over their victims and then leave to a stream of boos. Wire carries the chair close to his head. He smiles maniacally at it. The scene fades.]


Louie Cwik talks with The Angel of Death

Writer: Maria

[The scene switches to Louie standing outside the WMW Medical office. The Angel of Death is still out cold, lying on a bed behind him. A doctor goes to remove her mask and Rosa jumps up and pushes him away.]

Rosa - No! You can not remove her mask! You will have to treat her as she is now.

[Rosa and the WMW medical staff arguing fades to the background as Louie speaks into the mic.]

Louie Cwik - I'm back here in the WMW Medical office. The Angel of Death is still out cold from that massive punch from Boris earlier tonight. No word yet if she has been injured more seriously or if she's just out. We'll have more details as they become available.

[The scene fades.]

BBW Talks with Cwik

Writer: Garvin

[Bob Wire and Bundy stand in the back. Both looking pretty proud of themselves. Wire clutches a chair. He's basically hugging it.]

Louie Cwik - Why did they get involved in the MTL4 match?

John Bundy - A bit of a process of elimination. We can smell the blood. The demise of Shank and Lumberjack is near. The last bit of life they had was destroyed tonight.]

Louie Cwik - But, Shank and Lumberjack aren't even here tonight. You went after Tim Tyler and Handlebeards McGee. How does that affect Shank and Lumberjack?

John Bundy - What a dumb question. Besides Lumberjack, the #1 supporter of Shank are those two old timers. And with Tyler and McGee knocked out of the equation, there leaves no one else to save them. No more games, no more waiting. Shank and Lumberjack will pay for their sins against BBW. We will not fail in destroying them for good.

[The scene fades as they walk away.]

Thomas Kilik vs. Tyson Banes

Writer: Garvin

[The shot opens up inside the ring, where Wayne Inkster stands in the center. Kilik walks out as his music plays. He get a mixed reaction from the crowd.]

Inkster announces the next match, the second number one contender match to decide who will challenge for the Heartlands Championship at Burn 2010. He introduces the first fighter, Thomas Kilik. Bill says that after losing last week, Kilik's coming into this match with desperation. Jack says that Kilik has done well for himself in singles competition. Going 8-3 up to tonight.

[As Kilik reaches the ring, Banes appears at the top of the ramp. He walks to the ring arrogantly. The ref checks Kilik for foreign objects and goes over the rules with him.]

Inkster announces his opponent, Tyson Banes. Bill retorts Kilik's record saying that the only two problems with that argument is that a) Kilik loses the big matches, such as Arick Wills at Hardcore Hell, and b) he's going up against the Fighter of the Week. Tyson Banes is on his way to becoming the next challenger for the Heartlands Championship. And just like every time before this, Kilik will lose.

[As Tyson enters the ring, the ref checks him for foreign objects and goes over the rules with him. It's brief and after a few moments, he calls for the bell. Tyson charges across the ring for a clothesline, but Kilik ducks and runs through it. He bounces off the ropes and as he comes back, he slams into Tyson with a running front drop kick. He bounces back up, as does Tyson, and connects with a running forearm. Tyson falls back into the ropes. He rests there for a few moments. Kilik tries to pull him up, but the ref forces him back.]

Tyson complains to the ref saying that Kilik pulled his hair. The ref warns Kilik. Jack didn't see the hair pull, but it was an obvious dirty move to Bill.

[Tyson gets back to his feet and as Kilik moves in to grapple, Tyson rakes him in the eyes and immediately locks him in a headlock. Tyson overpowers Kilik, muscling Kilik down to the mat with the submission.]

Jack says that Tyson is about 30lbs heavier than Kilik, making it a bit easier for him to keep Kilik at bay on the mat. Bill says that it's easy because Banes is better than him, not because he weighs more.

[Tyson pulls up Kilik and powerslams him to the mat. He then begins to climb up the turnbuckle. As he balances on the second ropes, Kilik pops up and hits him from behind with a forearm. He then pulls him back down and takes him over with a snap mare. He lands a dropkick to the back of his head and then begins to descend himself up to the top rope. As he reaches the top, he turns and measures Tyson who lays in front of him on the mat, holding his head. Kilik then then spins around and launches himself off with a moonsault. Tyson sees it and rolls out of the way. Kilik lands on his feet. As Tyson pops back up, he goes for a clothesline, but Kilik hits an arm drag, and locks him into a kneeling armbar.]

Jack is impressed by Kilik's ability to land on his feet. Bill thought it was dumb for Kilik to think he had him beat with a dropkick to the back of the head. As if that was enough to take out Tyson Banes.

[Tyson fights back to his feet. As he gets his footing, he slams a right hand into Kilik, causing him to spin holding the side of his head. Out of nowhere, Kilik swings with a discus punch, but Tyson ducks it. As Kilik spins around, Tyson grabs him by the shoulder and slams him down over his knee with a modified backbreaker. He then walks to the corner and climbs up.

Jack doesn't think this is a good idea. Bill's not sure why. What's wrong with a larger athlete going to the top every once in a while.

[As Tyson gets to the top, he turns, measures up Kilik and launches himself off. He lands on Kilik with an elbowdrop. He makes the cover and the pin. The ref counts to 3 and the match is over.]

Inkster announces Tyson Banes as the winners of the match and will be going to GS130 to compete for a chance to fight for the Heartlands Championship at Burn.

[Tyson immediately leaves the ring and walks up the back. Kilik is checked out by the ref. The scene fades.]

Louie Cwik Talks With The Celestial Avatars

Writer: Amanda and Tabi

[Louie Cwik catches up with the Celestial Avatars in their locker room, Hecate is sitting on a bench with Jade sitting beside her. Jade has Hecate's wrist in her hand and she's checking Hecate out using Chinese style medical techniques. The pair look up as Louie enters the room after knocking briefly.]

Hecate - What do you want Louie?

Louie Cwik - Wanted to get a few words with you after your win tonight and advancing to the next round of the MTL4 tournament. Next week you will get to face The Inquisition. What are your thoughts about that?

[Hecate looks at Jade a moment and then back at Louie Cwik.]

Hecate - We are one step closer to facing off against Revolution again, this time for the belts. We have a goal to become the next Midwest Tag champs and we will go through anyone we have to in order to reach that goal.

[Jade, for her part stays silent for the most part until she looks up at Louie finally.]

Jade - You sound as if there was doubt we would win tonight, Louie. If the result of tonight's match surprises you. I suggest you visit with Jane Coughlin, The Squires Brothers, and Mischa and have them teach you a thing or two about journalism. We will address our upcoming match at the appropriate time. That time is not now. Good evening, Louie.

Hecate - Now if you will excuse us, we have other matters to attend to, like heading to the hospital to visit a dear friend. Close the door on your way out and next time Louie, wait till we respond before opening the door.

[Louie Cwik hesitates a moment, clearly wanting to ask more but a look from both Hecate and Jade make him think better of it and he heads out of the room, closing the door behind him.]

Louie Cwik Talks With Tyson Banes

Writer: Reb

[The shot opens up in the hallway. Just then, Tyson Banes walks into the scene. Louie Cwik stops him.]

Louie Cwik - Tyson, congratulations on the win tonight. That brought you one step closer to achieving your goal at becoming the next Heartlands Champion.

Tyson Banes - My goal? My goal is simple, Louie. Complete destruction. I'm gonna tear apart Boris next week, and I'm going to Burn, and win or lose against the champ... that person WILL remember my name. That person WILL respect me. I'll take them to Hell and back and before this is all over, and the belt is decided one way or another...I will be a permanent part of this roster. I'm a legend waiting to happen. Because I'm Tyson...mutha[bleep]in'...Banes.

[Just then, Tyson walks away. Louie Cwik looks across the hall and spots Boris and Dasha.]

Louie Cwik Talks with Boris

Writer: Rob

[Cwik runs up to them.]

Louie Cwik - Boris, with your win tonight, it's confirmed that next week, you'll be facing Tyson Banes for the #1 Contendership for the Heartlands Championship. Tyson sounds very confident in his chants. Do you?

[Dasha smirks and gestures to Boris.]

Dasha - I told you, my Boris is strongest man in world! He has broken every opponent put in front of him and now goes to Burn to face Heartlands Champion! That idiot Shank likes to call himself 'Champion in making' Well, here is REAL champion in making, Boris!

[Boris takes in the praise with that same look of pure joy you'd expect to find on a little boy whose just gotten his favorite toy (Or on Tallahasee's face when he finally got his twinkie in Zombieland.)]

Boris - Da. Boris happy with match tonight. Masked lady go splat. Boris wonder why she wear mask though?

[Dasha smirks and nods.]

Dasha - Because she is coward, Boris. Only coward hides behind mask. And she no longer matters. You crushed her.

Louie Cwik - Any thoughts on who you'd prefer to face for the title if Boris indeed becomes the number one contender?

[Dasha smirks.]

Dasha - Gras-Dawg. Arick Wills is weakling. My Boris will crush him easier then he crush Mexican coward tonight. Gras-Dawg might give my Boris a challenge, and he has been champ for while now. Boris would like to be one who ends streak.

[Boris nods.]

Boris - Da. Boris would like to face glass dog. Boris break dog of glass.

[Louie nods.]

Louie - Well, I think WMW fans would agree with you two there. Boris vs. Gras-Dawg would be a great matchup. We'll find out next week if it's in the cards. For now, back to Jack and Bill for our next match!

[The scene fades.]

Gras-Dawg (c) vs. Arick Wills

Writer: Garvin

[The shot opens up inside the ring as Wayne Inkster stands in the center. Arick Wills walks down to the ring to his music as Damien Knight follows in tow.]

Inkster announces the beginning of tonight's main event and introduces the Arick Wills. Bill calls him the King of the Leaderboard. Jack throws in 'Self Proclaimed'. Bill is tired of hearing people looking past Arick Wills as if he wasn't doing well here. He reminds Jack that he won at Hardcore Hell, he would have had the Heartlands Championship if Hecate hadn't thrown her big nose in the way, and currently sits at the top of the Leaderboard. Two weeks in a row.

[Just then, 'Get Up' by 50 Cent plays over the PA and Gras-Dawg comes dancing out from the back, the Heartlands Championship slung over his shoulder as he lifts a mic and points to Arick Wills in the ring. He dances as he walks towards the ring.]

Gras-Dawg says that Arick Wills is indeed the king, but no one told him that he's actually the Burger King. He tells the fans to 'get up' because he makes it rain and would be putting Arick Wills on the ground. He starts to sing along with the chorus of his entrance music, along with the fans. He tells Arick that he's the man who would be king, but he's the king of giving MOD... something. He trails off before finishing that statement. He then reminds Wills that he's the Champion and that Wills can't beat him.

[Gras-Dawg slides into the ring, and Arick Wills immediate charges him and lands a right hand, followed by another. Gras-Dawg blocks the third and lands a few right hands of his own. He quickly takes control knocking Wills back with a stiff kick to the chest, and then another. He forces Wills into the corner with body shots. He pushes him back and continues to land rights and lefts, then begins to stomp him down to the mat. Gras-Dawg jumps out of the corner celebrating.]

Jack says that he's glad to see Gras-Dawg get into the ring on a Graveyard Shift, and that the Heartlands Championship is being put in the Main Event.

[Arick Wills pulls himself up in the corner. Dawg goes for a jumping kick, but Wills sides steps him and slams him down with a legsweep faceslam. He then tries to lock on a crossface, but Gras-Dawg blocks it. Gras-Dawg powers back up to his feet, but Wills meets locks him in a headlock and takes him over down to the mat. He uses submission after submission, but Gras-Dawg is able to fight out of it.]

Bill says that it shouldn't surprise anyone that Arick Wills is doing well in this match. And what's happening out there to Gras-Dawg is another young gun getting too cocky, too quickly. Jack says that despite the different submissions Gras-Dawg has been in tonight, he's always found a way out.

[Gras-Dawg fights out of another submission, this time a side headlock. He reverses it and puts the same grip onto Wills. Wills counters and pulls him up, before slamming him to the mat with a backdrop driver. He goes for a pin, and gets a two count. He pulls up Gras-Dawg and slams him down with a scoop slam. He goes for an elbowdrop, but Gras-Dawg rolls out of the way. Gras-Dawg pops up. Arick Wills gets back to his feet and is met with a jumping kick to the face, causing Wills to fall to the ground. Gras-Dawg goes for a pin but gets a two count.]

Jack can't believe he only got a two count as the kick to the face almost knocked Arick's head off.

[Gras-Dawg pulls up Wills, and pushes Wills against the ropes. He sends Arick across the ring with an irish whip. As he comes off, Gras-Dawg leapfrogs him, Wills hits the opposite ropes and Gras-Dawg tries for a hip toss but Arick Wills counters, landing on his feet, and tries to take Gras-Dawg over with a hip toss, but Gras-Dawg cuts him off with a boot to the gut which then leads to Gras-Dawg locking Wills in a front face lock. Gras-Dawg then picks Arick Wills up and holds him in a vertical suplex, before taking him down with the Voodoo Plunge piledriver. He goes for the pin and the ref counts the 3-count. The match is over.]

Wayne Inkster announces Gras-Dawg the winner, which means he is still the Heartlands Champion.

[Gras-Dawg climbs the turnbuckle and holds the Heartlands Championship belt high over his head as the crowd cheers him. The scene fades with a closeup of Gras-Dawg and the Heartlands Championship.]
