Graveyard Shift 131 - McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago, Illinois


Opening Commentary

Writer: Garvin

[The shot opens up showing the WMW, ESN and Graveyard Shift banners in the McCormick Place Convention Center 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 131 here on ESN! And we are coming to you live from the McCormick Place Convention Center in beautiful Chicago, Illinois. My name is Jack Gene and I'm alongside Bill Hughes, and we have arrived, Bill. WMW and ESN, partnering together again to bring back Graveyard Shift!

Bill Hughes - Yeah, Jack. It's good to be back in our normal digs. No offense to Fuel, but it's the little leagues compared to Graveyard Shift, and I'm really looking forward to our working relationship with ESN. They cater.

Jack Gene - Yeah, it was nice to see a refreshments table with sandwiches and soup. Kudos to that, ESN. Now, obviously, we are fresh off our short, but hugely impactful trip to Mexico City as once again, we were in La Bosque de Chapultepec for El Dia de los Muertos. And, probably one of the biggest items to talk about is... Scott Vyper

Bill Hughes - Yet again, Scott Vyper goes into a situation, plays everyone in it like puppets and comes out on top.

Jack Gene - And, if you didn't watch El Dia, you really should. Such an epic broadcast. But, at the end of the day, Scott Vyper got Kronin, Father Nathan and Xavier Langston to agree to combine their matches and walked out with both the Ace Superior and Great Lakes Championships. And, tonight, we're in Chicago, Scott Vyper's home town, and we will have an official crowning ceremony later on tonight.


The Tournament of Tournaments

Writer: Eric

["Never Let It Die," hits over the house PA as Eric Dillinger steps out onto the ramp way wearing an all-black suit and tie with a white shirt underneath. He holds a microphone in one hand and a black sack in the other. The crowd is literally going insane for the Bastard Icon.]

Jack Gene – Right now, we're going to be treated to a very special announcement by none other than Eric Dillinger. With the partnership with ESN, it seems like Brad Johnson has once again been given free reign to book the show as he wants to, and he's giving some of those reigns to the members of this roster. We're going to find out what Eric is doing down here and... man, listen to this crowd. The WMW fans have really taken to Eric Dillinger in recent weeks.

Bill Hughes – After such a big showing at El Dia it certainly is no surprise that the Bastard Icon has given them a reason to cheer for him once again.

Jack Gene – Shoot Title contendership aside, Bill, Eric is out here for another reason and that’s regarding the mystery tournament we announced earlier. Let’s take a listen.

[The crowd dies down as Eric sets down the sack which stands up on its own.]

Eric Dillinger – It was a well-guarded secret in the company, but it’s finally time to come out with what tonight’s tournament is and what it’s about. Especially with how big the internet has become in playing a part in giving out wrestling’s biggest spoilers I’m surprised that no one has heard anything more than who the participants were. Before I give it away, let me give y’all a little back story into how this came about. It’s no secret that I came from a rough back ground in this business and no matter how far away you try to move from it, you never can. You never can forget what it’s like to grate someone’s face with barbed wire, hit your first chair shot, or throw someone through a table. You never forget any of it. Naturally, one day as I was training for my match with Jade, the idea just came to me. In turn I took that idea to Ben Cash, Brad Johnson, and even Alex Matheson on how to put this thing together.

[He smiles as he looks around.]

Eric Dillinger - What came out of two months of work and preparation was the Blood Bowl, a three-week hardcore tournament. The winner gets what’s in the sack, bragging rights as the toughest man or woman in WMW, and a shot at the Heartlands Strap at Blizzard ’11. The tournament will consist of six initial matches, a semi-finals, and a three-way dance for the grand prize. It’s going to be a long night of blood loss, violence, and glory and so without further ado let’s get this show started!


Eugene vs. Rudiger Ildefonso Probst

Writer: Eric Dillinger

[The crowd is still going insane when Eric Dillinger leaves and Eugene makes his appearance at the top of the ramp with his music taking over from Eric’s. Wayne Inkster announces him as he slaps the hands of a few fans. Next Rudiger Ildefonso Probst, or RIP, is announced along with his music. The two men warm in the ring as they wait for the bell to sound. ]

Jack Gene announces that both of these men are newcomers to WMW, though both men are not new to the sport. Bill Hughes can’t help but make fun of both of these guys, calling them cookie-cutter wrestlers. He even goes as far as to say RIP is an 80’s throwback.

[The bell sounds and both men meet up in the center of the ring, collar-elbow. RIP pushes Eugene into the corner and quickly takes him out of it with a hip-toss into a standing arm bar. When Eugene refuses to quit he releases the hold and plants a hard kick straight into Eugene’s back. RIP takes the knees to his opponent and works him down onto the mat with a front chancery. A little more leverage is applied and he begins to choke Eugene. He punishes Eugene with straight knee shots to the top of the head and rolls him over for a count. He gets a near fall, but presses on with a blatant forearm choke in the pinning position. Given that the ref can do nothing he allows it to happen.]

Bill wants the match to become more hardcore, but admits satisfaction at RIP being a straightforward ass kicker. Jack says that judging from the look on the fan’s faces they probably agree with him.

[RIP pulls him up and slams a forearm into his chest. Eugene stumbles backwards and falls through the middle ropes to the outside. RIP follows. He clubs Eugene on the back, but the downed man pulls RIP into the guard rail. He hits chest first and falls back into a neck breaker on the concrete floor. Eugene quickly dives underneath the ring and the fans stir at the first sign of hardcore action tonight. He pulls out a steel chair, a folding table, and a plastic shopping bag. He throws them all into the ring before going back to RIP and smashing his head off the ring apron, rolling him back into the ring, and following. RIP gets to his feet first, but Eugene grabs the steel chair and smashes it into RIP’s face. The German National goes down in a heap and Eugene drives the point of the chair into his chest. He now takes the table and props it up in the corner of the ring. He comes back to RIP, lifts him to his feet, and puts him in a standing head scissors. As he goes to lift him for a power bomb, though, RIP drops to his knees, low blows Eugene, and lifts him onto his shoulders. He runs at the table and hits a flipping Samoan Drop onto it. The crowd explodes.]

Jack notes that both men have been opened up.

[Both men are busted open and are trading blows, punch for punch, in the center of the ring until RIP hits a boot on Eugene and spikes him into the mat with a ddt. He goes back to the chair and sets it up in between the top and middle turnbuckle. He picks up Eugene and lifts him onto his shoulders. He runs toward the chair, but Eugene slips off his shoulders and pushes him into the turnbuckle. RIP bounces backward giving Eugene the chance to grab him by the head and drive him into the chair. RIP falls to the mat and Eugene grabs the plastic bag from earlier. Dropping onto RIP’s back he holds the German down and wraps it around his head. RIP fights to get the bag off of his head, but to no avail. It’s a few seconds, but he eventually loses consciousness and the ref stops the match. Eugene rolls off of him as the bell sounds. Both men lie on the mat in pure exhaustion.]

Jack Gene says that if this is the first match of the night we’re going to need more than just one ambulance outside of the building tonight. Bill agrees.

[The scene fades.]

Mike Barr vs. Pirate Ninja

Writer: Eric


[The camera switches to the back where we see Mike Barr walking through the hallway with Eric Dillinger. Mike is in his MMA shorts, gloves, and no shoes as he’s talking to Eric who still wears his all black suit.]

Mike Barr – I’m telling ya, this f***in’ guy won’t know what hit him!

[Just as they turn the corner Mike Barr bumps into Pirate Ninja! The two look stunned.]

Eric Dillinger – Well, I guess I better leave you two to it…

[At that, Eric walks away from them while they look at each other for a moment and then begin to brawl. The two men go punch for punch, but Mike pushes Pirate up against a wall with a tackle and spins him around to take him to the floor. He mounts him with punches and really begins taking it to him.]

Jack mention that although the fight may have started, the match hasn’t as there is no referee. Bill yells for one into his microphone, giddy with pleasure at the early beginning of the fight.

[Mike gets off of his opponent and looks for something to hit him with. He finds a trash can and comes back to Pirate. He smashes it over his head three times before dumping it on his head, contents and all. With Pirate trapped in the can Mike begins to throw wild punches into it. Pirate stumbles around the hallway until he falls down. He gets the trash can off of him and tries to get away, but Barr stays on top of him with stomps. A referee hits the scene and Mike attempts to pin him in the hallway with no luck.]

Bill says it’s a good thing they’re allowing the falls count anywhere stipulation to apply. Jack says when you have your best friend running the tournament things can always sway in your favor, implying Mike Barr is a favorite to win. Bill says there’s still a ways to go.

[Pirate gets to his feet and comes up with a low blow that staggers Mike Barr. Pirate gets to his feet and stumbles around looking for a weapon. He comes up with a chair and zeroes in on Mike. As Mike stands he throws it, but Mike ducks! The chair hits the camera and our view goes to static.]

Bill yells for another camera to get on scene. Jack is also eager to see what is happening.

[Our view switches to another camera that is seen moving erratically through the hallways. As it comes to where Mike Barr and Pirate Ninja just were we find that they have disappeared.]

Jack says that this is what happens when you allow falls to count anywhere. The announcers get word that the camera man will keep looking for the two men and we will get back to that match when we do, but the show must go on.

[The scene fades.]


The New Reign of Vyper Begins

Writer: Garvin and Scott

[The shot opens in the backstage parking lot. A blue Hyundai Genesis pulls up. The door opens and out steps Scott Vyper wearing blue shades and a long black open leather trench coat. He smiles as he lifts the GLC over his shoulder. The ASC is strapped around his waist. He heads away from the car towards the arena. Just then, WMW Interviewer Louie Cwik walks into the scene.]

Louie Cwik - Mr. Vyper, please, if I could have a moment of your time. First of all, congratulations on your big win at El Dia de los Muertos. What an honor it must be to hold the top two Championships here in WMW, the Ace Superior and the Great Lakes.

Scott Vyper - Cwik, I'm in such a good mood, I'll actually go ahead and give you a moment of my time. An honor? Sure, there is definitely honor in holding the top 2 titles WMW has to offer. I think the real honor here is shutting up all the morons who kept doubting me and telling me how I was no longer in my prime, and no longer top dog in WMW. Well, I got 2 titles that say otherwise.

Louie Cwik - Tonight, there is a celebration scheduled. How great is it that you are here in your home town for such a special night?

Scott Vyper - To be able to showcase my crowning achievement to my home town is like the return of Michael Jordan to bring in 3 more championships. Only difference is, this town is too stupid to put a statue of me in front. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a few things I need to take care of.

[With that, he begins to walk a way. Just then a stage hand walks into the scene.]

Stagehand - I apologize for disturbing you Mr. Vyper, but Mr. Johnson would like to speak with you.

Scott Vyper - Probably wants to discuss celebratory measures for tonight, tell Brad I'll be right there. I'm going to make a pit stop before hand.

[the stagehand hurries off and Vyper walks off camera]

The Big Sauce Man vs. Evan Cash

Writer: Eric Dillinger
[The camera goes to the ring where newcomer, The Big Sauce Man, is eagerly awaiting his match with Evan Cash. Evan’s music hits and the young man comes sprinting down to the ring. He slides into the ring and goes straight for BSM with punches and kicks that back him into the corner. Despite being the smaller man Evan is doing some serious damage. He goes to whip BSM, but the big man stops him in his tracks, pulls him back, and reverses the whip that sends Cash outside the ring. BSM follows and goes underneath the ring and pulls out a cheese grater. He kicks cash in the stomach, pushes him against the guard rail, and begins to run it back and forth against Evan’s face. Blood flows and Evan rakes BSM’s eyes to get a break away from him. Evan nears the time keeper’s table and grabs the ring bell. With a running head start he charges BSM, but the big man picks him up in mid run and side-walk slams him on the concrete. He goes for the pin, but Evan kicks out just before three.]

Jack says Evan has a lot of hear t to keep going like this after that punishment. Bill notes that Evan came from the WTF with Eric Dillinger and Jordan Keyser and that this toughness is something they should come to expect from Evan. That, and, he is Ben Cash’ son.

[BSM grabs Evan’s hair and throws him into the ring before going under the ring again for more weapons. BSM pulls two chairs and slides them into the ring along with a claw hammer. Evan Cash is quick to recover and grabs one of the chairs before BSM can enter the ring and get to his feet. As the colossal giant gets to his knees cash sends him down to the mat with a huge chair shot. He drops the chair and goes for the pin. Bundy kicks out and Cash looks flabbergasted. He drives punches into the open gash on his forehead from the chair shot and goes for the pin. Again, BSM kicks out. Cash now gets one of the folding chairs and sets it up in the middle of the ring. He pulls BSM onto the chair and seats the dazed man in it. Cash grabs the other chair and points at BSM, receiving a huge pop from the crowd. He lifts the chair above his head and brings it crashing down onto BSM. The chair bends and is seemingly stuck on BSM’s head.]

Bill and Jack agree that should be the end of BSM who looks to be unconscious from that last chair shot. Bill wonders where the son of a billionaire learned to be so ruthless. Jack offers Jordan Keyser as an answer.

[Cash forgoes toppling the big man out of the chair and grabs the claw hammer. Evan climbs to the top rope and points at BSM. He takes it in both hands, with the steel of the hammer pointed downward, and jumps off. Cash delivers an ax-handle smash that knocks BSM out of the chair and onto the mat. The blood pools underneath his head as Cash makes the cover. 1-2-3 and it’s over. Wayne Inkster announces Cash as the winner.]

Jack questions the morality of the tournament if this is the kind of brutality it is going to showcase while Bill notes that they’ve seen worse in WMW. Jack ponders if he ever saw an unconscious man get assaulted with a hammer.

[The scene fades.]

Irish Ninja vs. Mystery Woman

Writer: Eric Dillinger

[Paramedics are still tending to BSM as they try to move him out of the ring as Irish Ninja’s music hits and Wayne Inkster announces him to the ring. Irish makes his way down to the ring and slaps the hands of a few fans as he takes swigs from his bottle of whiskey. As he nears the ringside barrier, though, a figure flies out of nowhere and dropkicks him. The whiskey flies and is nowhere to be seen.]

Bill yells in bewilderment of what it was as Jack informs him it was the Mystery Woman we’ve seen run through WMW as of late. Bill sighs a sigh of relief as he’s become a fan of her with sexual implications. Jack sighs.

[Irish is back on his fight and going toe-to-toe with the Mystery Woman, each person going blow for blow. Irish gets the upper hand with an European Uppercut and backs the Mystery Woman into the ring steps, the steel barrier, and then into the ring apron. He then grabs the Mystery Woman by the hair and performs a hair toss into the steps, dislodging them. Irish takes the time to revel in his surprise attacker’s situation and paint brushes the back of her head. He then grabs a head full of hair and leads her over to where the Big Sauce Man is finally being rolled out of the ring and onto the stretcher. The Mystery Woman, however, throws an elbow into his gut and throws him face first into the BSM.]

Bill makes light of BSM being used as a weapon while Jack yells for those paramedics to get him out of there before something bad happens.

[As if one cue one of the paramedics tries to push the stretcher away, but the Mystery Woman stops him. She pushes him away and takes hold of the stretcher, aiming it at Irish, and runs it straight into him like a battering ram. Irish flies onto the concrete floor. All four paramedics try to wrest BSM’s body away from her, but to no avail. The Mystery Woman slaps one of the way away, kicks another in the groin, and throws a third over the guard rail. The fourth paramedic ops to have none of her and just walks away. Irish, though, is given enough time to get his bearings and hits the woman with a flying body block from the ring apron. She’s sandwiched against the guard rail, but Irish hits his head as well and is busted open.]

Jack mentions that none of these matches tonight aren’t going to be very ring savvy if they ever make it to the ring in the first place.

[Irish stumbles to his feet as the Mystery Woman is still reeling from his attack. Out of the corner of Irish’ eye he sees something that interests him and he goes for it. Sticking out from underneath the ring is the bottle of whiskey from before. He sticks head straight back and empties what’s little is left down his gullet and makes an exaggerated wiping motion as he’s done. Angry that the bottle is empty he smashes it on the dislodged steel steps. With a new weapon in hand he pulls the Mystery Woman up to her knees and pushes her, throat first, against the guard rail. He applies pressure to her back to choke her with the railing, but pulls her head back by the hair. He takes the jagged, broken glass and stabs at her fore head. The pain is enough to make the woman jerk and for Irish to lose his footing, but he still stabs twice more at her with each stab landing on her face.]

Jack talks about how sadistic the Pirate has become given his lack of alcohol as Bill makes note that he’s taking too much time to celebrate now that he’s done his damage.

[The blood is enough to drive the Mystery Woman into a rage as she low blows Irish from behind, who’s still show boating, and give him a ddt onto the floor. She boots him back to where BSM is still on the stretcher. She puts Irish on his back and then sandwiches herself between the stretcher and BSM. With one heave she pushes BSM off of the stretcher and onto Irish. The crowd groans as they see Irish being sandwiched between the 400-pounder and the concrete floor. The Mystery Woman pulls a chair from underneath the ring, raises it, and swings it down onto Irish’s still exposed head repeatedly. After the fourth chair shot she drops down on top of BSM and makes the cover. The referee makes the count, 1-2-3, and Wayne Inkster announces her the winner.]

Jack Gene calls into his microphone for more paramedics. Bill, however, says it’s too late and that BSM hasn’t moved in twenty minutes. He’s probably already dead seems to be the general consensus.

[The Mystery Woman stands, looks down at Irish, and says, “Awwwwww, this toy’s broken. I’ll have to find a new one. ]

The Angel of Death vs. Father Nathan

Writer: Amanda/Tabi

Jack Gene - And coming up next is a big match, fans. The Angel of Death tries to move up into the Ace Superior Division by knocking off the former Ace Superior Champion, Father Nathan. Father Nathan, meanwhile, is looking to rebound from his big match loss at El Dia to Scott Vyper that cost him the Ace Superior Championship belt. Definitely a must win bout for both people involved, here Bill.

Bill Hughes - Well, I'll tell you what I wanna know here, Jack... I wanna know firstly, how this match possibly helps Father Nathan. I mean if he wins, he's expected to win. If he loses, then he's lost to someone he should have beaten. It looks like this match doesn't really net him much. Secondly, I wanna know who the hell Kronk's Disease thinks the Angel of Death is under her mask.

Jack Gene - ... Still ripping off AWS Man (Also known as Bill)'s nicknames for Kronin?

Bill Hughes - Someone has to, and as AWS Man's #1 fan, I believe that the duty falls to me during the absence of my hero.

Jack Gene - Well, why don't you try to ask Kronin?

Bill Hughes - .... I tried, but the bastard wouldn't return my calls.

Jack Gene - I can't possibly imagine why. He did return my call, and I was actually able to get an answer to that question from him.

Bill Hughes - Really? Wow being an ass kisser helps out sometimes, huh? Well, who is it?

Jack Gene - After the match, I'll tell you. For right now, let's focus on the upcoming match as we go to Wayne Inkster in the ring for the introductions of our fighters.

Wayne Inkster - Ladies and Gentlemen, the next match is an Ace Superior Divisional match and it is set for one fall. Introducing first, hailing from Mexico City, Mexico. She stands 5 feet, inches tall and weighs in at 155lbs. She is..THE ANGEL OF DEATH!!!!

[The lights in the arena dim and 'Avalancha' by Heroes Del Silencio plays over the PA as the Angel of Death glides in from the roof, landing on one of the turnbuckles as the crowd cheers and she holds her arms up before doing a back flip off the turnbuckle to the ring and backs up into the corner, leaning back against the turnbuckle, awaiting her opponent.]

Jack Gene - And it looks like the Angel of Death is all business here tonight. You know what's interesting about her? I was speaking to Jane Coughlin, and she made the remark that NO ONE in WMW management has seen the Angel of Death with her mask off. It makes Kronin's conspiracy theory that much more interesting that no one associated with WMW has seen the Angel of Death without her mask and thus, no one really knows who she is under the mask.

Bill Hughes - Are you going to keep torturing us with your inside scoop from the paranoid stoner man, or are you going to say something useful, like who Kronk's Disease thinks it is?

Jack Gene - Heh, I think I'm going to hold onto this tidbit for a bit.

Wayne Inkster - And introducing her opponent, Originally from Dublin, Ireland, he now hails from right here in Cleveland, Ohio! Standing 6 feet, 4 inches tall and weighing in at 250lbs, he is.... FATHER NATHAN!!!

['The Blood of Cu Chulain' plays over the PA as Father Nathan walks out, carrying his cross on his back, pausing at the entrance way, looking over the crowd who is on their feet cheering loudly for him. He stares at the Angel of Death in the ring and nods as he then begins to make his way down to the ring, pausing to set up his cross at ringside and kneeling down, mouthing the Serenity Prayer as he then climbs into the ring and stretches, preparing himself for the combat to come. The referee, Luna Pier calls for the bell and both fighters walk out to the middle of the ring, staring each other down, exchanging words. The Angel of Death runs back and slingshots off the ropes, charging at Father Nathan who takes her down with a clothesline. The Angel of Death bounces right back to her feet, only to be taken down again by Father Nathan. Angel of Death bounces back to her feet and ducks under the clothesline attempt of Father Nathan, and takes him to a knee with a dropkick to the knee. The Angel of Death then moves to the ropes, rebounding off and jumping up onto the shoulders of Nathan, taking him down with a hurricanrana.]

Jack Gene comments on the impressive start the Angel of Death has gotten off to, while Bill Hughes continues to speculate on who Kronin thinks might be the secret identity of the Angel of Death.

[The match bogs down, the two fighters trading blows, Father Nathan hanging in there with the much faster Angel of Death, and managing to hit a few power moves on the Angel of Death, the highlight being his trademark forward Samoan roll. From there, Father Nathan pulls the Angel of Death to her feet and sends her hard into the ropes, the Angel of Death soars off from the ropes, trying for a flying forearm, but Nathan catches her and takes her to the mat with a Fallaway Slam.]

Jack comments on the power game from Father Nathan, saying it's the best chance he has to win and questioning how much the Angel of Death will be able to take. Bill continues to Speculate on the Angel of Death's identity, this time picking Jade. Jack Gene reminds Bill that Jade is Chinese, not Mexican and doesn't speak Spanish.

[The next few minutes of the match are back and forth action as the two continue to try to get momentum on their side. At about the 4 minute mark, Father Nathan comes off the ropes and tries for a power clothesline but the Angel of Death ducks under it and jumps into the air, nailing Father Nathan with a Trouble in Paradise style kick that stuns the Irishman and sends him staggering.]

Jack Gene comments that the Angel of Death is taking a page from Valora's playbook as that move was commonly used by the one half of WMW's Hardcore Icons. Bill reminds Jack that Valora was one of the Angel of Death's trainers so obviously she'd know some of Valora's moves.

[In the ring meanwhile, the Angel of Death jumps up and tries for a reverse STO but Father Nathan counters, lifting her up and dropping her back first across his knee.]

Jack comments on the effectiveness of that counter, as it will weaken the Angel of Death's aerial arsenal. Bill agrees with that assessment and says that this match has turned out to be entertaining.

[Father Nathan runs to the ropes and jumps onto the ropes and off of, trying for a fist slam but the Angel of Death rolls out-of-the-way and Father Nathan's fist hits nothing but mat. Jack Gene comments on the rarity of a high risk move from Father Nathan.]

Bill Hughes suggests that Father Nathan should probably stick to what he knows best.

[Father Nathan gets to his feet, holding his hand, trying to shake feeling back into it. The Angel of Death runs up and jumps up, planting Father Nathan face first into the mat with a Reverse STO and from there she wraps her legs around his neck, locking in the Koji Clutch. Luna Pier drops down checking for the submission as Father Nathan tries to fight his way out of the hold.]

Jack Gene comments on how perfect a submission hold the Koji Clutch is for a bigger opponent like Father Nathan. Bill Hughes remarks that when this hold chokes Father Nathan out, he can practically kiss a Ace Superior Title shot goodbye.

[Just then, the crowd makes a noise of surprise and the camera pans to show the Mystery Woman running down to the ring, lead pipe in hand. The Angel of Death sees the Mystery Woman coming and breaks the hold on Nathan, jumping to her feet and catching the Mystery Woman with a boot to the gut before hitting a jawbreaker, sending the Mystery Woman to the mat. The Angel of Death picks up the lead pipe and looks at it, a wicked grin crossing her features as she readies herself to level the Mystery Woman. The Mystery Woman sees Father Nathan starting to get to his feet, dazed and shaking his head. She circles around a bit and suddenly the Angel of Death spins around, taking a mighty swing in a discus motion. Mystery Woman ducks the swing and the Angel of Death cracks Father Nathan in the head making a sickening thud as Father Nathan stands there for a moment and then falls face first on the mat, a huge cut opening up, the blood pooling on the mat. The Angel of Death stands there with a stunned look on her face, dropping the lead pipe and dropping to a knee to check on Father Nathan, only to have the Mystery Woman grab her from behind and take her down with a Russian Legsweep, immediately locking in the same Koji Clutch move that Angel of Darkness had on just a few seconds ago. Luna Pier calls for the bell, and the match ends as a no-contest.]


After Match Happening

Writer: Amanda/Tabi

Jack Gene - Oh My God! what a brutal shot Father Nathan took from that lead pipe! We need some help out here, damnit!

Bill Hughes - Wait Jack, this isn't over yet! The Mystery Woman is going to answer all of our questions for us!!!

[Mystery Woman continues to choke out the Angel of Death and finally, the Angel of Death's movements slow and the Mystery Woman is heard shouting. "It's time to take back what I allowed you to use! You don't want to let her out and play, then I'll force you to bring her out!" As she reaches over and yanks at the mask, and after a few tries, the mask comes off, revealing that the Angel of Death is actually....]

Jack Gene and Bill Hughes - (Yelling in unison in surprise) VALORA!

Jack Gene - It's The Missouri Valley Champion, Valora!!!

Bill Hughes - This night just got a LOT better!

[The crowd breaks into explosive cheers to see their heroine back in WMW and the Mystery Woman breaks the hold, clutching the mask to her chest as she giggles and leaves the ring, pointing to Valora as Valora shakes her head, coming to and hearing the crowd, reaches up and realizes she's been unmasked looking around the ring frantically for her mask and her eyes settle on the Mystery Woman who is dangling the mask from her hand laughing manically. Valora narrows her eyes as she gets to her feet and points at the Mystery Woman.]

Valora - I'm gonna [bleep]ing kill you, you crazy bitch!

[The crowd picks up the all too familiar "Val's gonna kill you!" chant and the Mystery Woman seems to bask in the experience going as far as to blow Valora a kiss. Valora drops down and checks on Father Nathan, who has not moved a muscle since being accidentally hit by Valora's lead pipe shot.]

Jack Gene - Well Valora has been back in WMW for some time evidently! Sault St. Marie thought he fired her, but Valora found a way around it.. the question now is... now that it's known she's back here... do Brad Johnson and Ben Cash have to fire her again?

Bill Hughes - Not if they're smart they won't! Listen to the crowd! It's obvious WMW fans want their hardcore Icon back in WMW and Sault St. Marie isn't in charge anymore... But Valora obviously hasn't lost a step. If I were Father Nathan, Kronin, and Scott Vyper... I'd be very, very nervous right about now.

Jack Gene - Well speaking of Father Nathan, he looks pretty badly hurt. The medics are out here now, taking him to the back now... we're keep you updated if we get an injury update before the show ends...

[The scene fades.]


Still A Champion?

Writer: Garvin and Scott

[The shot opens up inside of Brad Johnson's makeshift office. Johnson stands up just as Scott Vyper walks in the door. He is not wearing his titles.]

Brad Johnson - Mr. Vyper. Thanks for coming to see me with such short notice. Look, I wanted to be the first WMW official to congratulate you on your win. I'm not going to sit here and imply that we've always seen eye to eye, but you are a great Champion, and a great member of Wrestling Midwest.

[Vyper raises his eyebrow at Brad's sudden interest in Vyper's success. He lowers his shades as if they were somehow deceiving him.]

Brad Johnson - I see you're not wearing your titles.

[Vyper smiles.]

Scott Vyper - They're in safe keeping.

Brad Johnson - Well, you deserve every accolade that you have fought for and earned. And, the "Hall of Fame" tag next to your name is a shining example of that. However...

[He pauses and takes a deep breath.]

Brad Johnson - I don't know the best way to go about this, but I'm in a position where I need to help push WMW into our next phase in life. Obviously, you are in a position of great power and great responsibility, and I'm going to have to ask you to do a bit of sacrificing to help us achieve our goals.

Scott Vyper - What, like dropping the ASC? Come on, I haven't even had it a month yet and you're already asking me to drop it.

Brad Johnson - I'm not asking you to drop the ASC. Well, specifically.

[More uncomfortable pauses.]

Brad Johnson - I'm not asking you to drop either of the titles. But, I am asking you to bring them both to the ring later on tonight. The truth is, we have plans for both the ASC and GLC, and unfortunately, those plans require them to not be around your waist.

Scott Vyper - You've got to be [bleep]ing kidding me. This is outrageous if you think you can strip me of these titles. I earned to be where I am and no one, not even you, is going to stop me from taking my place in history.

Brad Johnson - Well, that's the thing, Scott. I'm not doing this in spite. Understand that. I want to give you the honor that you deserve. Bring both titles to the ring later on tonight and I'll explain further.

[Vyper shakes his head.]

Scott Vyper - Brad... if you [beep] me over, the blood is going to be on your hands.

[With that, he walks out in a huff. The scene fades.]

Wone vs. John Bundy

Writer: Eric

["Big" John Bundy is announced into the arena by Wayne Inkster with his music playing him down to the ring. Before he even makes it down to the ring, though, Wone comes barreling down the aisle from backstage at him with a baking sheet. He cracks it on Bundy’s back, causing the big man to stumble, and then hits him on the top of his head with it. John falls against the barrier and Wone goes to work with fists on him. A fan ringside hands Wone a frying pan with which he uses to strike Bundy and bust him open. Wone drops the pan and goes to whip Bundy across the aisle, but the big man reverses. Wone, however, jumps up and lands perched on the guard rail. He moonsaults backward and takes down Bundy. The crowd cheers.]

Jack Gene mentions this is the third match that has started non-traditionally. Bill hopes it becomes a recurring thing in WMW, but adds that it’s sad the Shoot Division will never see this level of intensity. Jack argues that it brings a different kind of intensity to the competition.

[Wone kicks Bundy in the gut over and over, moving him ringside in the process. Wone hits a wicked right hand that stuns him and hops onto the apron. He comes flying off with a diving hurricanrana that propels Bundy onto the concrete floor. Not done yet Wone jumps back onto the apron and hits another moonsault onto Bundy. He covers, but can only get a two count. Wone continues to work on Bundy, who is seemingly lifeless at this point. Wone pulls him up and forces him into the corner. Blood streaming down his face as Wone stands across from him with a chair in hand. He runs at Bundy, throws the chair at him, and follows in with a dropkick that smashes it into Bundy’s face! The chair crackles and bends as Bundy goes limp. Wone covers, but this time Bundy is able to get his foot on the bottom rope. Wone gets angry and goes outside the ring where he sets up a table across the ring apron and guard rail. He reenters the ring to find Bundy back on his feet. Wone lands a punch, but Bundy just floors Wone with a short arm clothesline. Bundy, with crimson streaming into his eyes, stumbles around blindly before come to the turnbuckle he was previously trapped against. He rips at them until the steel is exposed. Wone gets back to his feet and clubs Bundy from behind, but receives a poke to the eye when he turns around. Bundy puts Wone in a standing head scissors, turns, and power bombs Wone into the exposed steel turnbuckles.]

Jack Gene is amazed that both men are still standing after those exchanges. First with Bundy mounting an offense that saw Wone get slammed through a folded out chair, then later getting suplexed to the concrete, and sandwiched between the guard rail and the steel steps. Now Wone has reversed the power bomb with a hurricanra that spiked Bundy’s head onto a steel chair!

[Wone is back on the offensive with a few mounted punches in the corner and performs a monkey flip that lands Bundy onto a steel chair. Wone jumps to the top rope and readies for something, but a man jumps the barrier and makes a b-line for Wone. Wone turns in time to see that it is Bob Wire, but is still pushed off his perch and lands crotched on the top rope. From there Bob takes Wone off the ropes and slams him through the table Wone had set up earlier with a spinebuster slam. Quickly Bob gets Wone back into the ring and grabs a fresh chair. Wone fights to get to his feet, but is sent back down to the mat by a sickening chair shot from Bob. Not giving up Wone is on his hands and knees trying to get up, but Bob hits him across the back twice to make sure he stays down. Bob sees out of the corner of his eye that Bundy is beginning to stand. He takes up position behind him. Bundy sees Wone’s prone body for a few seconds before its lights out. Bob cracks the chair across the back of his head, causing him to fall flat on top of Wone. Bob forces the referee to make the count. 1-2-3 and it’s over.]


Mike Barr VS Pirate Ninja, Pt. 2

Writer: Eric

Wayne Inkster says Bundy is the winner and moves on, but before Jack and Bill can really get a chance to comment on the events just taken place the camera goes somewhere else. Bill says that Mike Barr and Pirate Ninja have fought out to the parking lot. Jack says that things are about to pick up.

[The camera goes to the parking lot where we see both Mike Barr and Pirate Ninja are busted wide open and bleeding profusely. Mike has a few scratches on his back as well, but that doesn’t stop him from taking Pirate by the head and throwing him into one of the cars parked nearby. Pirate’s head bounces off of the window and car alarm goes off. Mike puts some educated fists to him before taking him and body slamming him on top of the car’s hood. He pulls Pirate so that his head hangs off of hood and drives the point of his elbow into him repeatedly. Mike now gets on top of the hood and pulls Pirate into a standing head scissors. He goes to lift him, but Pirate back body drops him onto the concrete.]

Jack Gene says that these two have to have been fighting for going on an hour given the time that they first met backstage. Bill says that it can’t go on much longer if that’s the case.

[Pirate gets off the car and begins to stroll out of the parking lot, but Mike gets back to his feet and sees him. Mike gives chase and Pirate runs as fast as he can away from him. Given the speed that they are moving they are both very tired, but they are still able to make it to the edge of the parking lot where a public bus has pulled up. Pirate flags him down and jumps inside, but not before Mike can get on board. The camera follows as inside a shriek is heard and passengers fight to get out the exits. The bus driver yells and looks angry, but that doesn’t stop Mike from smashing Pirate’s head into the glass of the bus. Mike rears back and lands a punch that knocks Pirate into the front row of seats. He readies to mount him for some more punches, but the bus driver maces him! Mike stumbles around blindly as Pirate gets behind him and takes him over with school boy pin. It takes a few seconds, but a referee is finally on the scene. 1.2.3.]

In all of Jack’s years as a commentator he has never seen this happen. Bill notices the police arriving on the scene and wonders if Mike, Pirate, the camera guy, and the referee will be able to make it out of jail in time for the next show. Jack says Dillinger is already hailing taxi to the police department.

[The scene fades.]

Pirate Ninja vs. Divion Sadistik

Writer: Eric Dillinger
[Pirate Ninja is announced into the arena by Wayne Inkster accompanied with his music. Shortly after the process is repeated for Divion Sadistik, but Sadistik receives a warmer welcome from the crowd despite being a new comer. The bell sounds and the two men immediately go to work on each other, blow for blow. Divion wastes no time getting dirty by dropping to his knees and hitting a low blow on Pirate. He takes him up on his shoulders and drops him with a Samoan Drop then exits the ring. Divion grabs a few weapons from the crowd and throws them into the ring. Among them are a pizza cutter, the original NES system, a sack with unknown contents, and a picture frame with no picture. Pirate gets to his feet, but Divion clotheslines him onto his back and picks up the pizza cutter. He applies a rear chin lock and immediately goes to work with the cutter, slicing Pirate's forehead open by running it back and forth. Pirate loosens his opponent's grip on him and bites his hand, getting away. Divion, however, is back on the attack when he pushes Pirate into the corner. He lets loose with kicks to the midsection and a jumping back kick to end things off. Pirate falls on his ass and Divion drives a knee into his face.]
Bill says that things aren't looking good for the Pirate early on. Jack agrees and says he needs to mount some kind of offense if he hopes to last longer than five minutes in this match.

[Divion pulls Pirate from the corner by his boot. He goes to pick up the picture frame, but Pirate comes from behind him and lands a low blow of his own. Taking the weapon from his would be assailant, he smashes it over Divion's head! Now Divion sports lacerations on his face. Pirate uses this opportunity to take him over with a snap mare, lock in a chin lock of his own, and drives his knuckle into the biggest gash on Divion's face located above his eye. Blood spurts like a broken sink pipe.]
Later in the match...
[Pirate whips Divion to the ropes and stops him with a boot to the gut on the rebound. He takes him down with a ddt onto the NES. The crowd pops and Pirate decides to take the sack from before and open it up. His eyes go wild and his mouth drops before grinning big and wide. Quickly he dumps the contents out onto the mat and the camera zooms in to see fish hooks. He pulls Divion to his feet by the hooks and moves to powerbomb him, but Divion reverses the tide with a double legged take down! Not done, yet he pulls on Pirate's legs and drags him across the mat to ensure that they have hooked into his skin. Pirate is screaming loudly as he rolls around the mat in pain, new lacerations covering his body. Divion, however, wastes no time in putting the boots to him. Divion leaves the ring once more and returns with a chair. He moves to hit Pirate with it, but Pirate takes him down with a drop toe hold.]
Jack comments about the hooks still hanging from Pirate's skin. Bill commends Pirate for continuing on in that situation.

[Pirate goes to pick up the chair, but Divion haults him. He knees him in the gut and puts the chair under his chin while holding the back of his head. Immediately he throws both down toward the mat and Pirate falls onto his back, clutching his throat. Divion makes the pin. 1-2-3. Divion stands and gets his hand raised as paramedics run down to the ring to help Pirate who is now coughing up blood. The scene fades.]

A New Champion Is Crowned

Writer: Scott and Garvin

[As the shot opens up, Brad Johnson is walking down towards the ring. "Fight" by the Graveyard Shift Trio blasts over the PA. The ramp and ring are covered in red carpet. As he reaches the ring, he climbs in.]

Jack Gene - And here comes WMW Owner Brad Johnson, and we're apparently about to see the very foundation crumble. Johnson, ordering Vyper to come to the ring to drop the titles he earned last week at El Dia.

Bill Hughes - Yeah, not much of a homecoming for the guy. Pretty disrespectful if you ask me.

[The music fades as Johnson paces around the ring.]

Brad Johnson - Ladies and Gentlemen, it is time that I introduce to you, your Great Lakes and Ace Superior Champion, Scott... Vyper!

[With that, Vyper's music hits and he walks down to the ring. He wears both the GLC and ASC around his waist.]

Jack Gene - You can tell just by the look in his eyes that Scott is peeved. What an uncomfortable situation here.

Bill Hughes - Will he even drop the titles? You know, there's a chance that he'll crack Johnson over the head with the titles. He's always been a rebel, always doing what's best for Scott Vyper, and I just don't see how this is good for him.

Jack Gene - Brad Johnson suggests it is good for him and good for everyone. Let's just give Johnson a chance to explain his plan.

[As Vyper hits the ring, the music fades. He walks up to Johnson and stands staring a hole through him.]

Brad Johnson - Scott, I appreciate you coming down here, and am glad you decided to bring the titles with you. But right now, it's time for you to hand the titles over.

[Vyper starts to pace.]

Scott Vyper - You've got a lot of nerve asking me to do this. I fought 3 men. I defeated 3 men to get to where I am right now. I kicked the asses of the best in this business. I broke down the unbeatable Father Nathan. I destroyed the crowning jewel of this company in Kronin. And, I played Xavier Langston like a pawn piece. And yet, after all of that, after shutting up the critics, after shutting up my opponents, and after chiseling my name, once again, in the history books, you want to take that away from me.

[Johnson shakes his head.]

Brad Johnson - My actions are not in spite of your accomplishments. You've got to trust me, Scott. You hand over the titles and you will get the full honor you deserve.

[Vyper stares at Brad Johnson intensely. He looks at both of the titles. The crowd boos and Vyper grabs the ropes and yells at the crowd to shut up. He walks back over to Brad Johnson. Finally, he reluctantly removes the titles and hands them over to Brad Johnson. Johnson smiles.]

Brad Johnson - Ladies and Gentlemen, with great admiration, we can now all look at Scott Vyper as the man who retired both the Ace Superior Championship and the Great Lakes Championship.

Bill Hughes - What?!

Jack Gene - My god! Retired? Both titles?

Bill Hughes - How in the hell is that honoring Scott Vyper? That's a slap in the face. What are we supposed to do now? Survive on the HLC and Shoot? Bull[bleep].

[Johnson hands the titles off to a stage hand before turning back to Scott, who looks irate.]

Scott Vyper - You've got to be [bleep]ing me. Retired? Retired?

Brad Johnson - Scott, with your win, you've proven that the Great Lakes and the Ace Superior didn't truly represent what you did at El Dia. But this will.

[Just then, Johnson points up at the ceiling. As Vyper looks up, a spot light points towards a briefcase hanging from the rafters. It begins to lower.]

Jack Gene - A briefcase? What's going on? What's in the briefcase.

Bill Hughes - Relax, Jack.

[As the briefcase reaches them, Johnson unhooks it and opens it up. He pulls out another title.]

Brad Johnson - Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to your new Midwest Champion, Scott Vyper!

[With that, he hands the title off, streamers, balloons and confetti falls from the ceiling. He shakes hands with Vyper and leaves the ring. Vyper looks at the new Midwest title and smiles from ear to ear. Vyper raises the belt up high and the crowd is irate. Finally, Vyper slings the belt over his shoulder and he begins to speak.]

Scott Vyper - I tell you what Brad, this right here? This is a thing of beauty. All of you idiots denounced my name, all of you though that at El Dia, Kronin would just mop the floor with me. All of you believe that I would just be the next man to fail against the main face of the company. No, instead... Vegas and I was not only able to remove the Great Lakes championship from that poor excuse of a rock star, but we were also able to con that idiot Ja-fake-in Xavier Langston into giving up his Ace Superior title shot and make it a fatal four way. So not only was I able to dethrone a man you all worshipped and loved named Kronin, but I was also able to put that gingerbread man of the cloth and rip the title off him too! The best part... since the belts are retired, so are their rematch clauses. So congratulations Kronin and Father Nathan, you went into an all or nothing situation... and WALKED OUT WITH NOTHING! So look everyone... look at the new Midwest Champion... look at the wrestling messiah! Look, as the new Reign of Vyper begins!

[Vyper drops the mic and "Broken Hands" by Lamb of God plays again. Vyper raises the title in the air as the crowd boos. The scene fades.]
