Miller: Welcome fans to the first ever Thursday Night Inferno, and welcome to this very special edition of it. Tonight, while the folks here in the arena get entertained by local hopefuls and other wrestlers hoping to get into the ICWF…. You at home will get treated to some of the best matches in the history of the Master of the Mat tournament… Now unfortunately, we cannot show you any of the finals because as you know, they are over an hour long.. But we will show you some of the best matches leading up to those… but before we get to that and into talking about Masters of the Mat Five, let me welcome the great panel I have with me tonight! They will be discussing with me this weekend’s PPV, one that promises to be a very good one. First and foremost, here is Paco!
Paco: HELLO MY GENTE! I am so glad that I get to talk to more people tonight than just that loop hole known as you Miller! My boys Huss and Burner are here.. this is going to be fun!
Miller: The hell you calling me a loop hole for? What’s that suppose to mean? Never mind, don’t answer that.. Along with us also is, Burner..
Burner: Duuuuude!
Miller: Uh, right back at you…. Dude… Mr. Huss Tlafolif is also with us…
Huss: Yeah that’s right.. Call me Mister you damn cracka! You know you calling me mister cuz your scared.. you scared you punk bitch! What!?! WHAT!?
Miller: Uh, calm down… dawg… uh.. .and last but definitely not least, he is my buddy, my pal… Mr. Smith!
Mr. Smith: Hello Mr. Miller, glad to be here along with you and well, the rest of these losers… Miller, I don’t know why you take their crap.. Fight back! Fight back!
Paco: Oh shut the f’k you clam chowder!
Mr. Smith: Blow me little taquito!!
Miller: Guys, guys, please! Lets talk about Masters of the Mat Five… We have the tournament, plus two title matches.. You guys want to tackle the title matches first?
Paco: Whatever ese…
Burner: huh?
Huss: Bring it on cracka..
Mr. Smith: Sure.
Miller: Uh, ok… well the first title match of the PPV is for the vacant North American Title. This was the title being held by Josh Allen before he won the World Heavyweight Championship. Killa Kali would have kept that title, except he was hurt thus unable to compete. He would have gotten at return match here at Masters of the Mat, but again, the injury is keeping him out so no re-match, no North American Title. Instead, two of the guys that didn’t make the cut for the Masters of the Mat Tournament, will fight for it. Harvey Danger and Talon. Paco, your thoughts…
Paco: You forgot the most important fact in all that rambling you did… You forgot to mention that this match up is inside a Hell in a Cell! I can’t wait to see it, specially because I know Talon will whip Danger’s ass all over that cell!
Miller: So Paco gives Danger no chance. No surprise there. Burner…?
Burner: Hell in a Cell rules…!
Miller: Yes they do… Is that it? Ok, wow, very insightful there… Huss?
Huss: What? You want me to give you an opinion on a match that has a couple of unworthy crackas going at it? The hell is wrong with you? What I want to know is, how come not one single black man got a shot at the North American Title?
Miller: Burner, I don’t know if you have looked around lately… But uh, we don’t have any black wrestlers left available! Killa Kali is hurt and Reggie Savage has disappeared!
Huss: Right, disappeared.. Don’t tell me the white man didn’t have anything to do with it!!
Miller: What white man!?!
Huss: You know, the man!
Miller: What man!?!
Huss: ODJ!!!
Miller: ODJ?!?! ODJ is not white!!
Huss: What?! He’s not..?! Well shit.
Miller: (smacks forehead) Mr. Smith, could you save us here?
Mr. Smith: Oh without a doubt… Let me first say that while Danger and Talon did not make the cut for the Masters of the Mat, they still got a sweet deal, getting a title shot. They are very young, and have young ICWF careers.. I’m sure that by the time the next Masters of the Mat rolls around, they will be in it.. If they haven’t won the World Title yet, which I doubt. Both of these guys got potential. Now as far as this match go.. Talon has looked unstoppable since joining while Danger has had his ups and downs. He’s young like I said, so I’m sure he’ll get better as time goes by and I actually, if I can give a prediction here, see him pulling off the win. I think Talon will finally hit a bump in the road in the form of Danger.
Miller: Thank you! That was quite exquisite!
Paco: What the f’k ever…
Burner: HIAC rules…
Huss: I can’t believe ODJ is not white…
Miller: Fans, we’re going to take a commercial break but when we return, we’ll have the first match up of the night.
:~:The show fades to commercial. :~:
:~:The show comes back on the air and somewhere in the back, a foggy mirror is marked with red lipstick - FTF. A moment of history pauses, but suddenly a hand with a towel wipes away the writing. As the steam of the room hits the mirror, it fogs up, and a the index finger of a man scribbles the letters "H ... O ... P" onto the mirror. The fans inside the arena cheer loudly.:~:
Paco: Whoever wrote that clearly does not know how to spell "FTF" very well! Those letters aren't even close!
Miller: Paco, that's because we have
seen the downfall! The downfall has sprung into action!
Huss: Psh, what? The downfall of what? FTF still rules this mutha!
Miller: Of FTF! And with that, we now
see the rise ...
Paco: Of who? Who already?! Don't tell
me you mean ...
Mr. Smith: Yes, Yes he does ...
Paco: No .. Not ... not ...!!!
:~:BOOM! The stage explodes with sparks and "Numb" by Linkin Park over takes the crowd as they jump to their feet and scream. The letters "H.O.P." bring curses from Paco's mouth as the spotlights stop and focus on the stage. There, Kevin Heat and Josh Allen, the new world champion, step onto the stage to the roar of the fans. :~:
Paco: Damn ese, these guys are like aids! They just keep coming and there's no way to stop them!
:~:Josh and Kevin proudly tote their HOP t-shirts and climb into the ring. Josh unbuckles his world title and throws it over his shoulder. They both take a microphone.:~:
Josh Allen: And so ... It begins!
:~:A cheer from the fans as on the Insane-A-Tron, the letters "FTF" are erased from a notebook. The pencil erasing marks are wiped away, and Kevin now speaks.:~:
Kevin Heat: I think the world would love nothing more than to relive that wonderful ...
:~:Josh and Kevin smile, take a deep breath, pause ... the fans cheer, Kevin continues.:~:
Kevin Heat: That memorable moment, of the day FTF ... began to fall.
:~:The fans listen ...:~:
[Mimi V.] Here is your winner… and
the NEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!!!!! HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!!!!! JOSH ALLEN!!!
[Joey] HE DID IT! HE DID IT! JOSH
ALLEN HAS BEATEN KALI!
[Paco] I… I.. think I’m going to…
be.. sick…
[Paco] I… I.. think I’m going to…
be.. sick…
[Paco] I… I.. think I’m going to…
be.. sick…
:~: In the ring, Josh Allen walks to the side of the ring and throws a brown paper sack at Paco. :~:
Josh Allen: Hey Paco, get a barf bag, because you're gonna be sick day in, day out ... Killa Kali is no longer the man, you're staring at the new world heavyweight champion .. ESE.
Paco: Ugh, I think I need a shot.
Josh Allen: We just wanted to come out here tonight, and tell you that Derek Mobley is gone ... PIC is out for a little while ... but the HOP is still active, and today, we are better than ever. You will never ...
Kevin Heat: Ever ...
Josh Allen: Forget this day. This is the day ...
Kevin Heat: The FTF ...
Josh Allen: Got FUCKED.
:~:Josh throws his title into the air and poses with Kevin Heat. They point to their HOP T-shirts and climb out of the ring to "Numb" once again.:~:
Miller: Strong statement from the two active members of the FTF!!!
Paco: I hate them! I hate them both! Bastards! You won’t last long! You won’t last long!!
Burner: Hehehe.. Paco being pissed rules!!
Huss: I’m with you homey.. Those crackas won’t hold on to that title.. It don’t belong to them.. It belongs to mutha f’n KALI!
Mr. Smith: That title belongs to the man WHO BEAT Killa Kali! Get it right Huss!!
Miller: Alright guys that’s enough, I don’t want a tag match to get started here! Instead, how about we watch the first “Masters of the Mat” Match?
Paco: I don’t care…
Burner: I do, but whatever you know.. hehe…
Huss: Yeah lets watch that bitch, or else, you’ll have to watch me whoopin’ Smithy’s ass!
Mr. Smith: You wish!
Miller: The first match of the night is one between the founder of the House of Pain, taking on a hot rookie then, Steve Stryker in the first round of the 2000 Masters of the Mat!
Paco: That was a good one!
:~:The scene fades to black and then the clip starts. :~:
Miller: Well first up we have Dean taking on Steve Stryker, this is a good Veteran vs. Rookie match up. Let’s go to Joey and get the King of the Ring started!! Joey: Ladies and Gentlemen it’s time for the second round of the King of the Ring to get started!!! ~The crowd cheers, then “Hell’s Bells” by AC/DC plays and the crowd boos loudly. Steve Stryker heads to the ring.~ Joey: Introducing first, making his way down the ramp from Chicago, Illinois.. he weights in at 319 pounds and stands at 6’5” tall… here is STEVE STRYKER!!!!!!! ~The crowd boos him all the way to the ring, then once inside “Voodoo Child” by Jimmy Hendrix plays and the crowd cheers loudly as Dean comes out with Vince Carter….~ Joey: and his opponent being accompanied to the ring by Vince Carter from Fayetteville, Arkansas.. he weights in at 290 pounds and stands at 6’8” tall.. here is Hall of Fame member….. DEAN!!!!!!!!!! ~He talks with Vince on the outside and then they shake hands, Dean gets in the ring and comes face to face with Stryker…. The bell rings.~ Miller: Well this one it’s about to start gentlemen, they both seem focused, let’s pick, I think Dean has this one because of his experience… Mercer: Well I’m going to have to go with Stryker only because Dean isn’t the Dean of old. He is on a losing streak and I think the streak will continue here tonight.. Paco? Paco: I think you should both shut up and let everyone at home and me enjoy the match. ~Both men lock up and start the match, Dean quickly puts on a headlock on the big man but Stryker easily pushes him to the ropes. Dean bounces off and Stryker goes for a clothesline but misses, he turns around and Dean drops him with a standing side kick to the mouth! The crowd cheers, Dean sits Stryker up and puts on a headlock trying to wear Stryker out. Stryker has none of it though as he makes it to his feet and elbows Dean a couple of times in the stomach to break free. Stryker picks up Dean by the waist side and drops him with a side slam! Stryker goes for a quick pin but only gets one, Stryker picks up Dean and he puts on a headlock this time. ~ Miller: Well what do you gentlemen think of the match so far? Mercer: It’s good, you can tell much as it is just starting, both are evenly match up though.. Paco: *watching match while drinking beer, totally ignoring them.. * ~Dean tries to elbow Stryker to get out of the hold but it doesn’t work. Dean then wraps his arms around Stryker and drops him backwards with a side suplex! The crowd cheers again and Dean hops to his feet, he bounces himself off the ropes and drops a huge leg drop on Stryker. Dean goes for the pin, one! Two! and Stryker kicks out, Dean quickly pulls him up and whips him to the ropes, Stryker bounces off and Dean drops him with a clothesline.. ~ Miller: The pace of the match up is starting to pick up Mercer… Mercer: Yes it is, and I don’t think Paco likes us Miller…. Paco: Ding! Ding! Ding! What do we have for winner Johnny?? Miller & Mercer: Jerk…! ~Dean picks up Stryker and sets him on the corner, he gives him a few knife edge chops and then whips him to the opposite side, Stryker hits hard and Dean charges at him. Stryker puts up his boot though and Dean gets a mouth full, Stryker explodes out of the corner with a clothesline that almost decapitates Dean! The crowd boos but Stryker doesn’t bother with them, he bounces himself off the ropes and drops a big splash on Dean! Stryker hooks the leg, one! Two! kick out!! ~ Mercer: Woah! That was a close one mate!! Miller: 319 pounds came crashing down on Dean, his ribs got to be hurting big time!! ~Stryker picks up Dean and whips him to the ropes, Dean bounces off and Stryker catches him and puts on a bear hug!!! The ref immediately begins to check on Dean who is trying to fight off the hold. Stryker shakes Dean from left to right and applies more pressure and Dean is in big time pain. The ref sees Dean fading away and it’s about to start checking on the arm…~ Mercer: Well it could be all over for Dean! Stryker has those huge arms wrap tightly around his waist, I don’t think he’s letting go anytime soon. Miller: Well I don’t Dean think will give up, he might pass out from the pain but the man is not known for giving up!! Paco: Finally you make a good point, Dean is not a quitter... Mercer: It speaks!!! Paco: Kiss my ass… ~The ref grabs Dean’s arm and lifts it up, he lets go and it drops quickly. The ref picks it up again, holds it and then lets go and it drops for the second time. The crowd chants Dean’s name as the ref picks up the arm for the third and last time, he holds it up and then he let’s go. The arm drops about half way and then Dean brings it back up and starts to raise the roof. The fans cheer loudly as Dean tries to make a comeback. He begins to nail Stryker with right hands, Stryker loosens the hold but still hangs on. Dean bites him on the forehead and Stryker lets go…~ Mercer: Dean doing anything possible to stay on this match up!! Paco: I think he’s hungry, biting on the man like that! What’s wrong with him!! Miller: Dean has said many times before that he will win at all cost, this could be what he is talking about… ~Dean bounces himself off the ropes and Stryker hooks him again but this time drops him with a belly to belly suplex! The crowd gives a big “OH” after the power move, Stryker hooks the leg and the ref counts! One! Two! kick out!! The crowd cheers one more time as they see Dean fighting to stay alive. Stryker picks up Dean and gives him a kick to the gut, he hooks him between his legs and delivers his patented pile-driver!!!~ Mercer: I sense the end for Dean! That’s Stryker’s set up move to his finisher!! Miller: If he hits it, it’s over for Dean and his place in the King of the Ring…. ~Stryker picks up Dean and takes him to the corner, he hooks him between his legs again and then taunts the crowd a bit. He goes to pick up Dean for the running power-bomb but Dean back body drops him instead!! The crowd again cheers as Dean picks up Stryker, sets him on the corner and starts to pound on him with fists. Dean whips him to the opposite corner and Stryker hits hard and comes out stumbling. Dean jumps to the top rope, waits for Stryker to come close to him and then he dives off connecting with a missile drop kick!! ~ Mercer: Dean has turned the tables! Now he’s in control!! Miller: After all of the attacks by Stryker, Dean is still able to comeback! Paco: He is a warrior, Dean will fight you until you die, or he dies… ~ Dean goes for the pin and gets a two count. Dean picks up Stryker and whips him to the ropes, Stryker reverses it somehow and Dean bounces off. Stryker catches him off guard with a boot to the face that sends Dean back to the ropes. Stryker catches him on the rebound and drops him with a power-slam!! The crowd is on their feet as Stryker goes for the pin! One! Two! Kick out!!!~ Miller: OH so close and yet so far!!!! Mercer: This match is going back and forth Miller, just like we would have expected it to be!! Paco: and just to think, this is only the first match! ~Stryker tells the crowd again the it’s over, he picks up Dean and whips him to the ropes, Dean bounces off and Stryker misses with the clothesline. Dean bounces off the other side and Stryker turns around Dean connects with a spear!! The crowd back to their feet and cheering loudly, Dean picks up Stryker, whips him to the ropes, Stryker comes back and Dean drops him with the Razorback!!!! More cheers from the crowd as Dean goes for the pin after hitting his finisher, one! Two! Three!!!!!!!!!!! Bell rings… ~ Joey: Here is your winner……………. DEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Miller: Well a hell of a match by this two giants by the veteran proves to be too much for the young Stryker… Mercer: Yeah, Stryker tried going for his finisher twice too early and he paid for it. Paco: He sure did.
:~:The scene fades to black then fades back in, with the crew in front of us. :~:
Miller: What a great match up that was, Dean moving on in the tournament to face Punisher…
Paco: and even though he beat him, Punisher still came out the victor in my view.. He’s still wrestling while Dean has been reduce to managing and federation owning.
Burner: Dean rules!
Huss: So you say that like it’s a bad thing!? muthafucka is a successful black man! But nah, leave it up to a damn Mexican to put him down!
Mr. Smith: You and your damn racial way of thinking… It was noting to do with that!
Miller: Again, before we kill each other, lets take another commercial. We’ll be back with more fans… don’t you dare go away!
:~:Scene fades to black. :~:
:~:The show comes back on the air and we cut backstage into the parking lot, just in time to see an overly-large limousine pulling up. The camera moves in closer, to get a good view of whoever steps out of the vehicle. The doors swing open and out steps none other than the Insane Championship Wrestling Federation Owner himself, ODJ! The camera goes into zoom and we see that printed across ODJ’s shirt in black and white are two words in slanted, bold script: “THE BRETHREN!” ODJ breaks into a swift work towards the office block, but is stopped by interviewer Brandy Powers holding a mic. :~:
Brandy Powers: Mr. Jimenez! Sir!
ODJ: What is it now? The office is on fire? Jackrabbit got his hand stuck in my desk drawer again? Harvey Danger is trying to force autographs on the fans?
Brandy Powers: Uhm… no. We were all wondering what the meaning of that T-shirt is, sir?!
ODJ: Oh. Well… for that, like the rest of the idiots in the audience, you will have to wait and see, Ms. Powers.
:~:ODJ walks past Brandy, leaving her puzzled. The camera switches over to Miller and the rest of the crew.:~:
Miller: The brethren huh?
Paco: It’s the name of a rock band from uh, California… They rock!
