Live! Only On PPV!!! From The Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada!!!
Joey Styles: Welcome insane fans to INSANE RUMBLE 2000!!! *crowd cheers* Please welcome to the Air Canada Center, the group here to sing their version of the Canadian Anthem.... Mother Earth!!!!!!
[The crowd cheers as loud as possible. Mother Earth comes out and plays their version of the Canadian Anthem. After a few minutes they finish and the crowd is still cheering just as loudly. The camera cuts to the commentator's table where you see Smith, Mercer and Miller all decked out in Tuxedos. Miller speaks.]
Miller: Welcome everyone to the second ever Insane Rumble!! I am Miller along Mercer and Mr. Smith. Tonight folks we only have 2 matches and you are wondering WHAT? Just 2 matches? Well when you consider what the 2 matches are you will understand why... tell them about the card Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smith: Well it's starts like this, and let me tell you right now, this is the only Pay Per View where you have the World Heavyweight Title match opening the show! That's right, in our opening bout we have Handy Man taking on Rage and The Accelerator for the World Title, World Hardcore Title and Intercontinental Title. Mercer, tell us about the match...
Mercer: Well do you see the cage hanging above us? The Triple Cage, well that is where this match will be held. The match will begin at the very top, now the wrestlers must come to the second level of the cage in order to make the first pin of the match. Now whoever gets pinned first, will be taken out and become the new IC champion. Then that leaves two men to battle it out for the World Title. Now in order to make the pin they have to make to the last cage, where the ring is. Whoever is able to get the pin will win the World Title, whoever gets pinned out of the two, will get the World Hardcore Title.
Miller: Now that is something else, but tell me, how do they get down from cage to cage.
Mercer: Well once the cage has been lowered you will be able to see that the floor of the second and third cages are made half of wood, half of metal... which means that you must create a whole in the cage in order to go down to the next level or if you want the easier way, throw your opponent through the wood!! At the beginning though, they will get in by using a ladder that leads up to a side door in the third cage.
Smith: My God this match sure has gotten tougher. Ace, Rage and Handy Man were prepared for a regular 3 way dance match, not a 3 cage match! Should be great, then from there we go onto to the rumble match up itself. 20 men, one title shot... a lot of good names have entered gentlemen and right now let's give our picks. Miller, you first.
Miller: Well I have to go with the man making his return to the ICWF, that of course is Twiztid. I don't think he will have any ring rust in him, he will clean house and win the rumble.
Smith: Good enough, Mercer?
Mercer: Well it's a very hard decision but I am going to go with El Linchador. Sure he is a goof ball but the man has talent, and you can't deny him that. He's my pick...
Smith: Well two bold picks here, me I am pulling for another veteran, I am pulling for Johnny Sledge. A lot of the wrestlers don't want to give him credit but I think he has what it takes to win the rumble. Well we know that the winner of the Rumble will face the winner of the WT at Clash of The Champions, should be great!! Did we miss anything??
Miller: Why yes we did, forgot to tell the viewers at home that the Insane Rumble match will have, surrounding the ring... tables!! That's right, after you get thrown out you will get sent through a table... plus weapons may be used. Getting back to the tables though, let's pray that the wrestler are thrown far enough so they don't have to go through it..
Mercer: In the words of Paco I say to you, what the fuck is wrong with you!!?? The more tables the merrier! I mean look they say here that, each time a table breaks, they will replace it with a new one! This PPV is definitely bound to get insane!!
Smith: And let us get insane ourselves, it is time for the opening bout... and like we said this one is for the ICWF World Title!!!
[The Triple Cell begins to lower while lights flash around it, the crowd cheers loudly.]
Joey Styles: Ladies and Gentlemen our opening bout here at Insane Rumble is scheduled for one fall and it’s for the ICWF Intercontinental, World Hardcore and World Heavyweight Titles!!!
[The crowd cheers loudly as the cells are finally set in placed. 3 ICWF crew members walk down the aisle with a huge ladder which they set up in front of the cage, leading up to the third cage where there is a door…. “Know your Enemy” by Rage Against the Machine begins to play and the crowd boos loudly. ]
Joey Styles: Introducing the first challenger making his way to the ring from Atlanta, Georgia. He weights in 353 pounds and stands at 7’0” tall.. here is the current Intercontinental Champion….Rage!!!!!!
[He gives his belt to the referee and looks at the World Title on the time keeper’s table.. he then looks up at the cage and climbs up the ladder… Then you hear the sounds of sirens as red and blue lights flash throughout the arena. The crowd gives a mix reaction as Handy Man makes his way to the ring. ]
Joey Styles: And now introducing his opponent and the second challenger…he comes to us from Barrie, Ontario Canada! *crowd blows the roof off now as they hear he’s a hometown hero* He weights in at 240 pounds and stands at 5’11” tall… here is the current Hardcore champion of the World… Handy Man!!!!!!
[He makes his way to the ring and gives his title to the ref, he too looks at the Heavyweight Title and then makes his way up the ladder to the cage where you see Rage and another referee. Handy Man looks around and appears happy at the setting… then “Sweating Bullets” Begins to play and the crowd goes wild now as The Accelerator makes his way to the ring.]
Joey Styles: and the last participant.. He comes to us from Lubbock, Texas… he weights in at 280 pounds and stands at 6’7” tall… here is the undefeated, undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World!!! The Accelerator!!!!!!!!!!
Mercer: He introduced him as champion? Interesting…
Smith: Well he never lost the title so, the name still fits him.
[The Accelerator looks up the ladder and makes his way up.. once he is in the referee up there closes the door and then the ladder is removed! The crowd is cheering loudly and most of them are on their feet… all 3 men look at eachother and wait patently for someone to make the first move…]
Miller: Well gentlemen this match is about to go underway, any predictions?
Mercer: Hmm, Ace no doubt.
Smith: Yeah, same here. No one has been able to defeat him and I don’t think no one will be able to defeat him.
Miller: Yeah, The Accelerator seems to be the favorite but Rage and Handy Man might pull it off…
[The bell rings and Handy man charges at the Accelerator and starts to go at it with him blow to blow! Rage comes from behind and nails Handy Man and Ace as well! He grabs both of them but they block him and give him a double right hand! Ace and Handy Man hook the big man and suplex him on the steel cage! Both Handy Man and Ace make it to their feet and start going at it again. Ace gets the upper hand and whips Handy Man to the steel cage, Handy Man bounces off hard and Ace catches him and drops him with an inverted atomic drop! Ace turns around and gets nailed by a big boot from Rage, Rage looks over at the side that has wood and picks up the Accelerator… he scoops him up and tries to body slam him but Ace breaks free and falls behind Rage, he grabs his head and drops him with a Neckbreaker!]
Miller: Rage smelled it already! He wanted to put Ace through the wood!
Mercer: Yeah but remember that, that is strong wood, not your “table wood” so it will take more then a body slam for it to break.
Smith: Really? I wonder if they know that…
[Ace picks up Rage but gets nailed by Handy Man with a forearm shot from behind. Handy Man turns Ace around and nails some heavy right hands before scooping him up and ramming him face first into the steel cage! Handy Man picks up Ace again and again rams him against the steel cage. Handy Man checks the door and kicks it a few times and opens it up!! He then walks back to where Ace is but he gets caught from behind by Rage who drops him with a side suplex! Rage makes it to his feet and starts to stomp away at Handy Man! Rage walks over to Handy Man’s legs and grabs them, he hooks him and then catapults him sending him crashing into one of the steel posts of the cage! ]
Mercer: I am telling you guys, in this match you have to have eyes on the back of your head. I mean Handy Man had Ace down and boom here comes Rage and gets Handy Man…
Smith: Yeah, you have to very alert!!
Miller: Guys but what worries me is Handy Man busting open that door of the cage, I mean can you imagine what will happen if one of the fall through that door!!? Oh man!!
[Rage walks over to Ace who is trying to regroup and gives him a kick to the ribs! Ace folds over as Rage is in total control. Rage notices the door open and he grabs Handy Man.. he whips him towards the doors but Handy Man reverses it, pulls Rage back in and sends him flying with a back body drop onto the wood side! It does not give however and Handy Man appears surprised.. He walks back to Rage and picks him up he hooks him from behind near the door and drops him with an atomic drop! Rage is at the edge of the cage but manages to turn around but Handy Man nails him with a super kick and Rage goes flying out the door! A big hush goes over the crowd as they think that Rage has fallen all the way down but he didn’t, he’s hanging on to the edge of the cell… Handy Man walks over and smiles at Rage who is hanging on for dear life, Handy Man is about to step on Rage’s hand when Ace turns him around and nails him with a right hand! Handy Man staggers and then Ace grabs him and drops him with a spinning Spinebuster! ]
Miller: My God I almost dropped a load on my pants! I thought Rage was a goner!!
Mercer: He almost was! Ace saved him if you ask me!!
Smith: If Rage would have fallen down he could have kissed his wrestling career goodbye, and hell, even his life!!
[Rage tries to pull himself up as Ace picks up Handy Man, gives him a kick to the gut and hooks him for a Powerbomb!! Ace tries to deliver it but Handy Man blocks it and gives Ace a low blow instead! Ace folds in pain as Handy Man makes it to his feet and drops Ace with the Handy Slam!! The wood floor holds again but appears cracked. Handy Man makes it to his feet and tells the crowd is over but out of no where comes Rage who turns Handy Man around and grabs him by the neck!! The crowd boos but Rage doesn’t mind them and continues to pick up Handy Man and Chokeslam him on the wood floor!!!! This time it gives and Handy Man falls hard to the second cage as well as Ace who was still laying in the wood floor. ]
Miller: It gave! The wood floor finally gave and both men have landed on the second cage!!!
Smith: Yeah, and Ace got the worst of that exchange! Handy Man sort of landed on top of him.
Mercer: Gentlemen, Rage is fully in charge now… all he has to do is climb down and pin one of those two guys and it will be all over.
[Rage grabs on to the edge and then jumps down landing on the steel side of the second cage, which by the way, is the one filled with chairs, sticks, trash cans etc. Rage looks over at Handy Man and pins him. The ref, who is still on the first cage counts from above. One! Two! kick out by Handy Man! The crowd cheers loudly. Rage goes for a pin on Ace, one! Two! Kick out as well! The crowd cheers loudly as Rage appears pissed off. He picks up Ace and whips him hard against the cage but Ace reverses it and Rage hits hard on the cage post! Ace grabs a trash can and nails Rage in the back of the head dropping him. Ace flips him over and goes for a pin, the ref who is now in the second cage makes the pin! One! Two! Handy Man pulls Ace off of Rage. Ace makes it to his feet and start going at it blow to blow with Handy Man!!]
Miller: Man just a second ago both of these men went through a cage and felt some 10 feet below, now they are brawling like nothing happened!!
Mercer: That’s what makes these men what they are, ICWF warriors!!
Smith: Indeed…
[Handy Man wins the war and he picks up a dazed Ace and slams him hard on the cage. Handy Man grabs a chair and folds it up. He places it on top of the wood floor and then picks up Ace, jumps on his shoulders and drops him with a Handy-carana on the chair!! The crowd cheers as Handy Man goes for the pin, one! Two! and Rage makes the save this time! He picks up Handy Man and goes for a right hand but Handy Man blocks it and he jumps on Rage’s shoulders and goes for another Hurricanrana but Rage blocks it and Powerbombs Handy Man on the wood floor instead!! Rage goes for the pin now, one! Two! Kick out by Handy Man!! Rage is upset and he picks up Handy Man, gives him a kick to the gut and sets him up for the double arm DDT but Ace runs him over with a clothesline, Rage’s head bounces off the steel chair!! Ace grabs a dazed Handy man and drops him out of nowhere with the Rollercoaster® !!! ]
Miller: There it is! There it is!!
Smith: Rage had Handy Man ready to be put out but Ace took him out and then delivered his finisher on a staggered Handy Man!
Mercer: Look, Ace is going for the pin! One! Two! Three!!! Handy Man is out of there!!!
[The bell rings and the ref tells both Rage and Ace to hang on. The side door on the second cage is opened by an official on the outside standing on the ladder… he gets down and Handy Man is forced by the official to leave.. he does but not before giving Ace and Rage one last look. He goes down the ladder and is handed the IC title, he looks at it and takes it reluctantly and makes his way to the back while his Canadian fans give him a standing ovation. The camera cuts back to Ace and Rage who each have a weapon on hand and are waiting for the bell… the side of the cage is closed and the bell rings! Rage immediately charges at Ace with a trash can and swings but Ace uses his chair to block the shot. Ace gives him a kick to the gut folding Rage up and then nails him in the back with the chair! Rage goes down to one knee and then Ace swings the chair one more time just like Slammin’ Jammin’ Sammy Sosa and knocks him down hard!!!]
Mercer: My God what a vicious shot in the part of Ace!!!
Smith: He nearly took Rage’s head off!!!
Miller: Yes he did, but if I can talk about Handy Man for a second. He put a great effort but tonight was not his night, even though he was in his hometown of Canada.
Mercer: Yeah, but hey at least he came out of here with the IC title, which is not a bad consolation price.
Smith: Yeah but when you have a chance at winning the World Title, it is.
[Ace sits him up and we can see blood flowing down his neck!! He has been busted open but the mask doesn’t let us see much. Ace kicks him on his back and then does a flip snapping Rage’s head forward! Ace grabs one of the Kendo sticks and walks over to Rage, he picks him up and then swings with it but Rage ducks it some how and nails Ace with a heavy right hand that stuns Ace. Rage nails him then with a Mafia kick and Ace goes down! Rage picks up the Hall of Fame member and then walks over to the wood floor, he hooks him and drops him with his patented double arm DDT!!! The floor holds and the crowd boos.]
Miller: That was a close one for Rage, he almost put Ace through the wooden floor!
Mercer: He sure did, but Ace can take a whole lot more.
Smith: He sure can, but remember, so can Rage.
[Rage walks over to the Kendo stick and picks it up, he walks back over to Ace and nails him in the mid section! Rage picks up Ace and then nails him again in the mid section with it! Ace folds in pain and Rage nails him on the back dropping him again. Rage drops the stick and then picks up Ace again and grabs him by the neck! He calls for another Chokeslam, the same move that put Handy Man through the first wooden floor. Rage goes to deliver it but Ace gives him a throat chop and Rage breaks the hold. Ace wraps the arm of Rage and drops him with a single arm DDT! Ace tries to catch his breath and regroup, he walks over to where a bat is and picks it up.. he looks at it and does a few try out swings.. he then goes back to Rage and picks him up… he whips him towards the cage but Rage puts on the breaks and turns around. Ace swings with the bat but Rage ducks it! He takes a few steps back as Ace turns around and then Rage spears him sending both of them crashing through the cage door!! They go flying down and crash on top of the Spanish Announce table!! ]
Fans: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!
Miller: Good lord they just dropped some 15 feet! They got to be dead!!
Mercer: If not dead broken down to pieces my God!! Can we get a replay!?
Smith: No, no, it’s too much. No replay!!
[They show the replay anyway, from outside the cage. You see the door flying open and Rage spearing Ace down. They crash on the table below and apparently Ace gets the worst of the exchange(again if you are keeping score) as Rage falls on top of him and then rolls over. The ref gets a ladder and makes his way down and starts to administer the ten count. The crowd counts along slowly as the ref does.. no movement is seen as the ref reaches five… then six.. and then finally Rage is moving slowly, grabbing the guard rail and picking himself up… the ref reaches seven… and Rage is almost vertical while Ace hasn’t move a muscle… the ref reaches eight and Rage falls back down to one knee… NINE says the ref as Rage pulls himself back up and shoves the ref out of the way shaking his head… the ref warns him and talks the mumbo jumbo that refs talk as Rage falls to one knee again.. Ace is pulling himself but can’t seem to do it.. Rage is vertical again and he walks over to Ace and grabs him by the head and pulls him up.. Rage scoops him up but Ace breaks free, falls behind him and rolls him up for the pin! One! Two! Kick out by the big man!]
Miller: Wait, wait, wait. Pins count now? They are not in the ring!
Smith: Yeah but they are on the outside, as long as they were in the second cage they couldn’t pin anyone… but they no longer are so they can.
Mercer: Can you believe the heart of these two guys? I mean their bodies must be aching like hell and yet they are still fighting. Amazing….
Smith and Miller: Yeah….
[Both Ace and Rage make it to their feet and Rage grabs the Accelerator and whips him hard to the guard rail! Ace hits hard and Rage charges at him and goes for a big boot but Ace ducks causing Rage to get stuck in the guard rail! Ace walks to the time keeper's table and grabs a chair, he comes back around and nails Rage right in the head again! Rage falls to the mat and Ace goes for another pin! One! Two! Kick out!! Ace walks towards the cage and opens it up, he then picks up Rage and takes him towards the door... he is about to go in but Rage puts his hands on the door, he then elbows Ace, grabs him by his head and rams it against the steel post! Ace is dazed for a moment and Rage grabs the door and swings the hell out of it crushing Ace!!]
Miller: Oh that was a vicious shot!!
Mercer: He squashed Ace between the door and the metal post!
Smith: This match is going back and forth gentlemen, I can't pick a winner out of these two.
[Rage goes inside the cage and looks under the ring, while he does that the ref gets inside the cage and locks it up! Rage pulls out a table and sets it up. He then walks over to Ace and picks him up... he tell the crowd is over as he hooks Ace for the Ragin' Fury!! Ace blocks it though, Rage tries again and again Ace blocks it.. this time Ace is able to reverse it and he picks up the big man and suplexes him on top of the table!! The table breaks and maybe even the back of Rage! Ace gets on top for the pin, the ref counts! One! Two! Th.. kick out!!! Ace picks up Rage and tosses him inside the ring, he goes in himself and then picks up Rage and whips him to the ropes... Rage bounces off and Ace drops him with the Ace High!!! The crowd is on their feet as Ace goes for the pin, one! Two! Th.. kick out!!]
Miller: Ace has tried two powerful moves and both times Rage has kicked out.
Smith: Like one of you said, heart of a warrior.. Rage is not going down easily!!
Mercer: Yeah but how much more can he take? Ace has hit him with two powerful moves, it's only a mater of time before he goes for the Rollercoaster.
[The Accelerator picks up Rage and then pulls his arm between his legs and sets him up for a pump handle smash! Ace picks up Rage but the man is too big and he falls behind Ace... Ace quickly turns around but Rage is able to grab him by his neck and picks him up!! Ace tries to break free but he can’t do it, he finally does break free although is after Rage Chokeslams him hard on the mat! Rage bounces himself off of the ropes and drops the huge leg across the neck of Ace! Rage goes for the pin! One! Two! Kick out!!]
Miller: The momentum has changed gentlemen, now Rage is in control.
Mercer: He sure is, but does he have what it takes to be champion?
Smith: Only time will tell.
[Rage picks up The Accelerator and tells the crowd is over again, he picks up Ace and whips him to the ropes. Ace bounces off and Rage puts his head down for a back body drop but it doesn't work as Ace stops dead on his tracks, hooks Rage and plants him to the mat with a Piledriver!! Ace goes for a pin, one! two! kick out!! Ace picks up Rage and whips him to the ropes, Rage bounces off and Ace tries to go for the Rollercoaster but Rage hangs tough and Ace can't pick him up! Rage knees Ace instead and then hooks him and drops him with the Ragin' Fury!!! Both men go down.]
Miller; All Rage has to do know is pin Ace!!! Come on Rage wake up!!
Smith: Blocking the Rollercoaster and delivering his finisher at the same time took a lot out of him!
[Rage rolls over and then puts his arm over Ace, the ref counts... ONE! TWO! Th... KICK OUT!!! Rage is upset and gets after the referee.. this gives time to Ace to grab a chair, he stands up and then waits for Rage to turn around, when he does Ace swings but Rage ducks and almost nails the referee. Rage gives Ace a kick to the gut and then hooks him and delivers the Ragin' Fury again into the chair this time!!!! The crowd is booing as Rage is moving towards Ace and barely throws his arm on top of Ace for the pin! The ref counts, one! Two! Th.. kick out!!]
Miller: He kicked out! He kicked out of the Ragin’ Fury twice!!
Mercer: Yeah! I can’t believe it!!
[Rage seems upset and he goes to the outside and gets another table! He throws it in and then sets it up in front of a corner... he then picks up Ace who gives him a thumb to the eye, Rage is stunned for a second and Ace gets himself together and whips Rage to the ropes, Rage bounces off and Ace nails him with the Rollercoaster!! The crowd is on their feet cheering loudly, Ace hooks the leg for the pin! One! Two! Three! NO! NO! Rage kicked out! Ace looks at the referee while holding 3 fingers up.. the ref shakes his head and tells him no, only two!]
Smith: Again Ace hits the Rollercoaster out of nowhere, but Rage kicked out of it! Both men have tried their finisher and failed!
Mercer: So where do they go from here!?
Miller: Just watch, let’s just watch!
[Ace makes it to his feet slowly and then looks at the table, he picks up Rage and takes him over to the corner. He climbs to the second rope and hooks Rage for a Tornado DDT! Ace is about to deliver it but Rage nails him in the ribs a couple of times breaking the hold. Rage climbs to the second corner and hooks up Ace, they climb to the third one and then Rage delivers a third Ragin' Fury from the top and through a table they go!! Rage is laying on top of Ace this time, he hooks both of Ace’s legs and the ref makes the count! One! Two! Three!!!! Bell rings.]
Miller: He did it! He did it! He's the new champion!!
Mercer: My God! Who would have thought!? Ace has been defeated!!
Smith: Rage earned every single bit of that victory! The man defeated the only World Champion ever to remain undefeated for so long! Amazing!
Joey Styles: Here is your winner..... and the NEW... ICWF Heavyweight Champion of the WORLD! RAGE!!!!
[The crowd gives a mix reaction as they are still stunned, they can't believe Ace has lost, for the very first time! They however do give Rage a nice ovation, showing their respect for his ability. Rage gets out of the cage stumbling and is handed the title! Rage eyes light up from inside the mask and the emotion takes over, he drops to his knees and holds the World Title highly…The fans cheer more now.]
Miller: Well you have to tip your hats to The Accelerator and Handy Man. They put on a hell of a fight but tonight Rage wouldn't be denied. He proved that what happened a couple of weeks ago was no fluke, he in fact is the very first man to defeat Ace...
Mercer: Yeah, Rage was the first one to pin him in singles competition too if you recall the ambulance match. Sure Ace won the match but he was pinned the night, tonight history repeated itself!
Smith: Well congratulation go out to Rage who got a nice reception after winning the belt. Ace has gotten a great pop even though he is no longer the World Champion, he is now the World Hardcore Champion.. and of course Handy Man is the new IC champion!
[Ace starts to move slowly in the ring and he gets handed his new belt… the crowd give him a nice reaction too…]
Miller: It was a big swap of belts! Heheh. Anyway folks, it is time now for the match that you all have been waiting for, it is time for the Insane Rumble 2000!! Let's go to Joey to find out the specifics and to find out who drew #'s 1 and 2. Joey?
Joey Styles: Ladies and Gents our next match is scheduled for no falls and it's the Royal Rumble match up! The rules for this match are as follows... two wrestlers will be chosen to go at it first and then every TWO minutes after that a brand new wrestler will join the fray until all 20 members have entered the ring. You will be awarded a win for every wrestler you throw out.. the last man standing in this match will not only be crowned the 2000 King of the Ring but he will also get a world title shot later on tonight!! and now to the participants who drew #1 and #2!
[The crowd stands up to see who it is. No music plays as the first unknown wrestler makes his way to the ring.]
Joey Styles: Introducing the wrestler who drew #1, here is Syd Hammer!!
[He looks around the ring and all of the tables… he sees one referee on each side and even a couple of EMTs on a corner. He gets inside the ring and then “Stinkfist” By Tool plays and the crowd cheers loudly. William Haynes heads to the ring with a big smile on his face… almost stoned like… ]
Joey Styles: and the participant who drew #2, from Toronto, Ontario CANADA *pauses to let the crowd cheer for another hometown hero* here is… “WICKED” William Haynes!!!
[He gets inside the ring and starts to circle it with Syd Hammer, the bell rings and they lock up.]
Miller: Well the rumble is on it’s way and guys, say this with me ok.. what are the chances of these two making it all the way?
Miller, Mercer and Smith: NONE!!!!!!
Miller: Ok, thanks for helping me clear that up.
[William Haynes gets the upper hand and applies a headlock, Hammer pushes him to the ropes and Haynes bounces off. Hammer puts his head down for a back body drop but Haynes stops on his tracks and hooks him for a suplex and drops him with a front face suplex! The crowd gives a small “OH” after the move.. Hammer jumps to his feet holding his face after the impact, William Haynes measures him like a hawk and then nails him right on the chin with the Sweet Dreams super kick!! The shot sends Hammer over the top and into a table!!]
Miller: and the Hammer is out of here!
Mercer: Boy that was quick!!
Smith: Haynes now must wait oh, what? A minute before the next competitor comes out?
Mercer: That sounds right, and look at the ICWF Techs. Quickly replacing the table with a new one… a lot of bodies are going to be broken down tonight..
Smith: Yeah, oh here we go!!

Miller: Who is it!?
Smith: It’s El Linchador!! Ole!!
[The crowd cheers loudly as El Linchador makes his way to the ring by himself.. he has his eyes locked with Haynes who is inviting him in. El Linchador walks up the steel steps and as soon as he gets in the ring William Haynes is all over him with forearm shots! Haynes whips him to the ropes, El Linchador bounces off and Haynes misses with a clothesline. Haynes turns around and El Linchador takes him down with a head scissors! Haynes jumps to his feet and so does El Linchador who nails him with a drop kick!! Haynes goes crashing into the corner. El Linchador charges at him, jumps on his shoulders and drops him with a Hurricanrana!!]
Mercer: Boy, El Linchador has come out on fire!!
Smith: Yeah but he better save some of that energy, I mean he drew #3 out of 20, if he wants to survive he has got to slow down.
Miller: Maybe, but remember.. these two guys said in their interviews that they were gunning for eachother, so here is that manifesting itself.
[El Linchador picks up Haynes and then takes him to the corner and starts to throw him out!! Haynes is hanging to the ropes though but El Linchador doesn’t let go. El Linchador keeps trying and the Canadian crowd starts to chant Haynes name. El Linchador seems a bit bother but ignores them, Haynes reaches back to El Linchador and rakes his eyes! El Linchador lets go and stumbles a bit, Haynes comes off the ropes and then runs El Linchador over from behind with a clothesline! Haynes picks him up quickly and then whips him to the corner where he starts to pummel him hard. The countdown starts again.]

*Buzzer*
Miller: Who is this time!?
Smith: It’s another newcomer, Alec BeGrod.
[The crowd shows no reaction as he gets in the ring, takes a running start and nails a big splash in the corner where Haynes was pummeling El Linchador. Haynes falls to the mat and BeGrod stomps on him. El Linchador is still dazed in the corner and BeGrod grabs him and pulls him near the ropes where he sets him up for a Powerbomb! The crowd boos as BeGrod gets him up but EL Linchador hangs on to his head and nails BeGrod with right hands! BeGrod starts to back peddle but Linchador falls backwards and delivers a Hurricanrana to the outside sending BeGrod through a table!! Linchador pulls himself back up and in the ring as the crowd chant his name loudly!]
Mercer: Well so much for BeGrod, he just like Syd Hammer went out Bushwhacker style!!
Smith: Yeah, but what did you expect?
Miller: Right, and what about El Linchador? Great agility!
[El Linchador walks over to Haynes and picks him up and gives him a couple of right hands. Haynes is dazed and El Linchador whips him to the ropes, Haynes bounces off and El Linchador nails him with a spinning heel kick!! The crowd cheers again, El Linchador picks him up again and tosses him over the ropes! Haynes grabs them though and stands on the apron, Linchador thinks he’s got him but he turns around and sees him still in, Haynes jumps on the ropes and then nails El Linchador with a shoulder tackle! Both men stay down momentarily. ]
Mercer: Well El Linchador got a little carried away there.
Smith: Yeah, if he’s not careful he could get eliminated.
[Haynes makes it to his feet and slides out of the ring under the ropes, so he’s ok. He grabs one of the tables and slides it in. The crowd cheers loudly, Haynes sets it up and then goes after El Linchador, he picks him up and then lays him on the table… Haynes then climbs to the second rope, El Linchador gets off the table though and hits Haynes in the mid section. El Linchador climbs the ropes and hooks Haynes for a Superplex, no Haynes blocks it and delivers a Face Masher onto the table instead!! A face first suplex! El Linchador holds his ribs after going through the table, Haynes motions to the crowd that it’s over. He picks up a wounded El Linchador and tries to send him over but El Linchador is hanging on. The officials pull the pieces of the table out of the ring. ]

Mercer: and here comes Night Crawler! This man at one point in his career was the World Tag Hardcore champion!
Miller: Yeah and look, he’s got a weapon! He has come prepared!
[He gets in the ring and nails William Haynes in the back with a lead pipe! Haynes folds in pain and let’s go of El Linchador who falls to the mat. Night Crawler picks up Haynes and goes to hit him again this time in the face but Haynes blocks it and knees Night Crawler in the mid section and then drops him with a DDT! The crowd cheers as Haynes jumps to his feet, he picks up Night Crawler and the lead pipe.. he puts Night Crawler on the ropes and then nails him with the pipe right in the head sending him over the top and through a table!! The crowd cheers loudly again. ]
Smith: Another one bites the dust! William Haynes is on fire here tonight!!
Mercer: Yeah, it’s like him and El Linchador got a derby going on or something.
Miller: Yeah, Haynes has tossed two, Linchador one.
[William Haynes walks back to El Linchador and picks him up, El Linchador out of nowhere nails him with an European upper cut!! William Haynes backs a bit and then El Linchador nails him with a standing drop kick! El Linchador jumps to his feet and appears pumped, he picks up Haynes and whips him to the ropes. Haynes bounces off and Linchador sends him flying with a back body drop!! El Linchador slides to the outside now and walks over to the time keeper’s table and grabs a chair. He slides back in and lays it in the middle of the ring.. he picks up Haynes and whips him to the ropes, Haynes bounces of and gets dropped with a toe hold! ]

El Linchador whips him to the ropes but Mike Hall reverses it, El Linchador bounces off and Mike Hall gives him a kick to the gut followed by another Evenflow DDT!]
Miller: The crowd is cheering loudly, they are behind the so call “Canadian Icon”
Mercer: Yeah, but they are going to be thorn now since both Haynes and Hall are from Canada.
Smith: I have a question, how long do you think Mike Hall will last? I mean everyone that has gotten in the ring with William Haynes and El Linchador has gotten tossed out like they were nothing!
Miller: Good point, I don’t know
[Mike Hall picks up El Linchador and tries to eliminate him… El Linchador holds for dear life as Mike Hall has him almost out. William Haynes starts to come around and grabs the chair, he makes it to his feet and calls out for Mike Hall. Hall turns around and let’s go off of El Linchador. Mike Hall charges at Haynes who throws him the chair, Mike Hall catches it and William Haynes nails it with a super kick knocking Hall down!! The crowd gives a big “OH!” after the huge blow, Haynes lays the chair on top of Hall’s face and then bounces himself off of the ropes and drops a huge elbow onto the chair crushing Hall under it!! Haynes jumps to his feet now and it’s pumped! He goes to pick up Hall but El Linchador comes from behind and hooks him in a full nelson only to drop him a few seconds later with a Dragon Suplex!]
Mercer: Again we must stress how important it is to watch your back in this kind of match!!
Smith: Yeah, I mean Haynes let emotions get the best of him and now he’s down and out just like Hall. El Linchador could take out two birds with one stone here!
Miller: You mean two Canadians! Ha! Ha! He! He! Heh, ahem, not funny? No? Ok, sorry..
[El Linchador picks up Mike Hall and drops him with a Backbreaker. He goes to the second rope and drops the elbow right on top of his heart! El Linchador sees Haynes getting up and waits, when Haynes is up El Linchador points to Hall and both men start stomping the living daylights out of him!! The crowd cheers, they pick up Mike Hall, hook him and drop him with a double suplex! Both men make it to their feet, look at eachother and then drop a double elbow!! ]
Miller: What’s going on here!? They are tagging!?
Smith: Well I guess they both want to get rid of Mike Hall so they are willing to put their differences aside for a minute or two…

Darin Anderson stomps on both men and then helps Mike Hall up, Mike thanks him and shakes his hand and asks for a double high five.. Darin Anderson goes to give it to him but Mike Hall kicks him in the mid section and plants him with an Evenflow DDT!! The crowd cheers as Mike Hall taunts Darin and picks him up, grabs him by his head and tosses him over the top and through a table he goes!!]
Smith: Well that’s gratitude for you!!!

Miller: Yeah, and Mike Hall is now in charge of this match!!!
[Mike Hall grabs the 2 x 4 and starts to nail Haynes repeatedly on the back! Hall drops the bat and picks up Haynes, he hooks him for the Grande Finale and delivers it perfectly!! The crowd cheers and Mike Hall says that THIS time is over for real. He picks up Haynes and tosses him over the top! But Haynes hangs on to the ropes and rolls himself back in.

El Linchador picks up Mike Hall and sits him on the top turnbuckle, he climbs it and jumps on Hall’s shoulders and drops him with a top rope Hurricanrana!!]
Miller: That was a great move! Risky but great move!!
Mercer: Yeah, El Linchador apparently still has power left to pull aerial moves..
Smith: Yeah but now all 3 men are down, and the time is getting nearer and nearer for the next participant to come out!
[El Linchador is the first man to show signs of life, Haynes is in the corner trying to recuperate from the vicious shots from Hall. Hall begins to move too just as the countdown gets started again!]

Miller: Who is it!?
Mercer: It’s the king of pain! Or so he says, Punisher!!
Smith: Uh-oh! And this man has history with both El Linchador and Mike Hall!!! He has both of their numbers!
[El Linchador doesn’t even notice Punisher making his way to the ring, he picks up Mike Hall and applies a headlock.. Punisher gets in the ring and jumps on El Linchador and drives him hard to the mat with a bulldog! Punisher begins to stomp the crap out of El Linchador and then picks him up, hooks him between his legs and drops him with the Pun-bomb! The crowd boos loudly but Punisher doesn’t even acknowledge them. He walks over to Mike Hall, picks him up and Powerbombs him as well!! Punisher then turns his attention to Haynes who is picking himself up.. he rushes over but Haynes puts his boot up and Punisher gets a mouth full of rubber. Haynes charges at Punisher but he gets dropped with a Powerslam!! ]
Miller: Well what we were afraid of is starting to take place. William Haynes and El Linchador are exhausted and they are being taken apart by the fresh Punisher!
Smith: Good point, the only one that has some sort of chance right now is Mike Hall.
Mercer: True.
[Punisher looks all 3 men down and then walks over to Mike Hall, he sets him in the corner and tries to eliminate him.. El Linchador starts to comeback and looks around.. he grabs the chair, which is more bent out of shape then my life is.. hehe, ahem, sorry about that… El Linchador walks over to Punisher and nails him square in the back!! Punisher let’s go of Hall and stumbles around before El Linchador hits him again with the chair!! This time Punisher goes down and El Linchador sees Hall dangling from the ropes and drop kicks him!! Mike Hall goes down but doesn’t touch the floor! He is hanging on.. El Linchador is about to go after him but he gets turned around by Haynes who tells him: “let’s dump Punisher” He agrees and both men pick up Punisher and try to throw him out!!]
Miller: Well these two keep working together.
Smith: Yeah, it’s the smart thing to do.. they are both beaten up and tired. They need to get rid of the fresher man.
Mercer: You have to give credit to Hall too, he has hung in there with these 3. Nobody has been thrown out since he got there. Oh, there is the count again!!

[The lights go totally out and then a spotlight hits the ring and another the entrance way. Haynes and El Linchador let go of Punisher and look towards the entrance way as a big fat “?” appears in the Insane-A-Tron.. Hall makes it to his feet and so does Punisher and all 4 men stare at the entrance way.]

Mercer: No one has come out yet, be patient!!
Smith: Well the action in the ring has stopped, they all want to see who it is!!

[The fans are quiet again wondering just what the hell is going on… then you hear.. “IF YOU SMELLLLLLL *pause* WHAT THE ROCK *double pause* IS COOKIN’!” blasts throughout the arena and the fans start to chant Rocky! Rocky!! ]
Miller: It’s the Rock! The Rock has come out of retirement!!

Mercer: Well if you knew it then tell me, where is he…
Miller: Give him time…
Smith: His music just died, is someone playing around!?!
[The crowd is upset now and they start booing loudly then the lights come on and you hear “Brain stew” start to play and a hush goes over the crowd.. then a man walks out wearing a black out fit with a big fat “?” on his stomach… but his face is revealed…. ]
Miller, Smith and Mercer: HAN ZO MAN!!!!!!!!!!??????????
[Yes HZM!! Dougg has done it again!! HAHAHAHA!! I gotcha ya’ll!! Ahem, HZM rushes to the ring while the wrestlers are looking at eachother like what the f(shut your mouth!) HZM slides under the bottom rope and all 4 men start stomping the hell out of him and taking their turns! William Haynes grabs him and whips him to the ropes..

Miller: Well so much for the return of the HZM!!!!!
Mercer: Yeah, the biggest jobber in ICWF History!!
Smith: Hey! You can’t say jobber on the air!!
Mercer: Why? People know him as that…
Miller: Who cares!!??
Smith and Mercer: Right……

Miller: Holy shit that had to kill Punisher!!!
Mercer: Haynes helping Linchador out again. What gives? I mean I thought they were gunning for eachother!!

Miller: El Linchador is loose!!
Mercer: Somebody take that away from him before he gets hurt!!
Smith: Hehehe, Linchy is cool!
[A big cloud is over the ring and nothing can be seen for a few minutes except the fire extinguisher that gets tossed out of the ring by Linchy. The smoke starts to clear and you see Haynes, Patrick and Hall down. El Linchador is all smiles again and bowing to his crowd, but doesn’t realize that Punisher is behind him!
