(Before anything, before the pyros, before the announcers, before the loud screaming fans – there’s shots of what’s been happening. Shown within this section of past shows is the coming of the 7th Generation, Cypher leaving, Pepper almost dying, the First Wave beating down Charon, Chill Factor beating Ben Pack and then Ben Pack retiring, Rouge winning the four way gauntlet match by pinning Jaden, Charon beating Man of War, the Devil Tigers trying to retire the tag belts, The Devil Tigers and Knightmare and DownFire reluctantly teaming up and facing the 7th Generation, Man of War beating Greg Koscik, then Man of War winning the Wild Card tournament, and to cap it off – Greg Koscik winning the world title from Crossfire.)

 

(Huge, unbelievably huge pyros explode all over the arena, focusing around the ring and the some fireworks comes from around the edge of the top of the arena. It is an open air arena after all. Inside this little high school football arena, the fans are packed to the brim and everybody knows it. It’s an IWA first to be in LaGrange, let alone hold the pay per view here. But no one seems to mind, they all want o see big men, pretty women, and mouthy announcers. And that’s exactly what they’re going to get because this is Danger Zone, the best darn ppv in June. Mark Post, Doug Thorton, and everybody’s favorite female announcer, Tracy, would all agree to that. In fact you could ask them yourself, they’re down at ringside ready to get the show underway.)

 

Tracy: Here in LaGrange, among thousands of fans foaming at the mouth, this is Danger Zone! Ok, who wants to start us off with a little color commentary on LaGrange? (Mark and Doug look at each other) Anyone? Did anybody but me read the brochure on this town?

 

Doug: Nope.

 

Mark: I looked at the pictures…

 

Tracy: Well I read the brochure and La Grange is a great town. Although it’s smaller than your average pay per view city, I say it’s comfy cozy.

 

Mark: I’m surprised people didn’t overturn cars just because there weren’t as many seats as you would think. (Doug nods) But we’re packed to the brim and even though I’m sure some people have been escorted out for some fights out of not liking how their elbows are touching someone else’s – I think everybody getting along fine.

 

Doug: Because why wouldn’t they? They’re all here to see what we have in store for them tonight.

 

Tracy: And we won’t disappoint them, that’s for sure! Every single title is being defended tonight and now it’s up to the champs to try and keep a hold of them.

 

Mark: Who made their bets this afternoon? I’m going to make a killing.

 

(Tracy and Doug glare at Mark.)

 

Mark: (nervous chuckle) I mean, I’m not gambling. That’s a criminal offense and all that, I wouldn’t dare go near something like that. (whispering) Go, get on with it. Quickly!

 

Tracy: Anyway, even though there are titles on the line and people eager for a little gold, some people are not going for the shiny belts.

 

Doug: That’s right, pride’s on the line tonight and no one wants to lose it. For one, I bet Jaden wouldn’t want to lose to a woman.

 

Mark: I bet not!

 

Tracy: Hey, a woman can do just as good as any man – sometimes better. Why if I didn’t know better, you guys sounded sexist.

 

Mark: And if I didn’t know better, you’re turning into Jennifer Williams.

 

Doug (chuckling): Well setting that aside, I bet Jaden wouldn’t want to lose either – woman or no woman. Same goes for Kim, with her loss to Painkiller Jane, I’m sure it’d get her goat to lose again. So I bet she’s hoping for the win against Jaden.

 

Tracy: Especially after Jaden did to Kim. I mean what a vicious ending to that tag match. Jaden didn’t have to go that far.

 

Mark: Oh Kim can handle herself. She’s got hardcore written all over her. See? There. I’m not sexist.

 

Doug: (ahem) The next singles match with no title is Basir versus Blair. I bet Basir doesn’t want to go and lose that one. He’s been on somewhat of a losing streak.

 

Tracy: I bet Jason Anderson doesn’t want him to lose either. And that’s not just tag team partner support there. If Basir loses, Jason’s going to have to wear a dress for three shows. Personally, I don’t see that as such a big deal. I mean, if he’s such a macho man, then he can suck it up and take it for the next three shows in a dress. What’s the big deal?

 

(Doug and Mark look each other and burst out in laughter.)

 

Mark (wiping a tear away from his eye): Oh that’s rich, Tracy, rich.

 

Doug: No man can take wearing a dress, let alone in front of a whole mass of people laughing at him. Not even the manliest man. It’s just plain demeaning.

 

Tracy (gesturing off handed at Doug and Mark): Well, whatever. I still say if you’re secure in your sexuality then it should be a cinch.

 

(Doug and Mark look at each other again and stifle their laughs the best they can – Mark’s face becoming flush in the process.)

 

Doug (calming himself): Ah (a chuckle sneaks out) well, the next match has no strange stipulations to it, but it’s by far the match with the most pride on the line.

 

Mark: At least from the side of DownFire and Knightmare. If they lose, they practically lose their whole legendary status. But if you ask me, it shouldn’t be too hard – it’s just Icon and Stacy.

 

Tracy: Just Icon and Stacy? Stacy’s probably the best female wrestler in the whole IWA right now and Icon’s a tried veteran of the IWA. Not only has he gone big in tag teams, but in singles too. He’s fought Cypher, Rouge, and the like.

 

Mark: Of course, Tracy’s leaving out the fact that he lost to both of those two big wigs. And just because Stacy’s in a league of her own doesn’t mean that she’s going to get victory in DownFire and Knightmare’s league. That’s the league of Hall of Famers for you out there wondering.

 

Doug: I think they stand a good chance against those two guys. Even though the weight is on Knightmare’s side and DownFire’s got technical skills to back him up when power fails, but the other team has not just one, but two high flyers that could snatch the legs out of anyone that decided to walk by. They’re fast and furious, and that means a lot in wrestling too.

 

Mark: Hey did you ever see that movie – The Fast and the Furious? It was good.

 

Doug: Eh, it was good in some parts, not so good in others. Did you see it, Tracy?

 

Tracy: Me? No, but I’m sure Jennifer did.

 

(They all slap knees for that one.)

 

Tracy (fiddling with her hair): And also Rouge’s facing yet another person. This time it is Caleb – who interfered with Rouge’s match with Pepper Ortega and made a mockery of things by slamming Rouge with his own belt.

 

Mark: It’s not everyday that someone has their belt taken from them and whipped across their face. It’s an insult like no other. Why just the other day this kid took my belt and—

 

Doug (holding his hand up): I don’t want to hear it, Mark.

 

Tracy: Yea, eww.

 

Mark (stopping to think about it): Well if you’d let me finish, it wouldn’t sound like I was Michael Jackson!

 

Doug: We’ll just give you the benefit of the doubt, Mark. How’s that?

 

Mark (sneering): Yea, sure. Now everybody thinks I’m a pedophile. Sheesh.

 

Tracy: (ahem) Getting back to the topic at hand, Caleb’s got a shot at the gold. I think he might just be able to do it and derail Rouge from his winning streak.

 

Doug: I don’t know, Tracy. Rouge’s established himself pretty good since he came back. Sure, he’s not facing someone like Dark Shadow or Illusion these days, but he’s sure gone and made something out of himself as the TV champion.

 

Mark (still unhappy with Doug): Who knows what will happen (accenting) Doug. He might just lose (accent again) Doug. Why (more accent stuff) Doug, you might just be wrong one of these days.

 

Doug: Oh quit it. Why if I didn’t know better, I’d say you were turning into Joey!

 

Mark: Psssh.

 

Tracy (a little uneasy about those two): Moving on, we have Chill Factor’s hardcore title defense against Brimstone. The silly man might just stick it out one more time and make it through another night of wrestling he was never fit for.

 

Doug: Not that Chill Factor’s a bad hardcore champ, or anything.

 

Tracy: Oh no no. It’s just that he’s never wrestled hardcore before getting the title.

 

Mark: Nevertheless, he’s held out pretty far – from one ppv to another. That’s something some champs can’t brag about in their whole career.

 

Doug: But Chill Factor won’t be able to rely on his silly gadgets and toaster strudel to get him the win this time. (pondering) Not that toaster strudel did much to ensure his win…

 

Tracy: That’s right, it’s a LaGrange college rumble match. They’ll be fighting a mile away from where we are now and at LaGrange college in this match.

 

Doug: There’s been a ring setup in the Quad and they have to fight there – or at least that’s where the winning pin has to be. I hardly doubt they’re going to stay in one spot.

 

Mark: That’s right, because Brimstone’s an accomplished wrestler and quite a stickler for hardcore. He has absolutely no tolerance for incompetence either from what I gather. And we all know Chill Factor has plenty of that.

 

Tracy: And after that is through, Charon will be defending his title and apparently fellow compatriot against Ezekiel, one of the members of the First Wave.

 

Mark: Don’t you think it’s a little strange how Ezekiel got into this match? You think Rob pulled a few strings with Robert to get his team into a big title match?

 

Doug: No no no, that’s silly. Christoph just wanted Charon to defend his title and do it against someone worthy of the belt. And we all know Ezekiel is worthy of the belt, he’s had it before – along with several other belts.

 

Tracy: Never mind how the match came to be, it’s happening and it sounds like Charon is fine with it anyway – as much as Charon could be fine it, I guess.

 

Mark: Then the highly debatable tag team match is next.

 

Doug: Why is it highly debatable?

 

Mark (shrugging): Just is.

 

Tracy: Highly debatable or not, these two teams have been furiously trying to get at each other the past week that they’ve known about this match. Did you guy hear about the bear incident?

 

Mark (nodding): Saw it on TV. But I don’t think that has anything to do with this match. I’m sure Ishtak and Painkiller Jane just needed a chauffeur or something of the sort.

 

Doug: A chauffeur… that’s a bear?

 

Mark: Service is service, Doug. And if a bear can do better than a half-wit that can’t even serve cocktails while driving, well then I’d choose the bear any day.

 

Tracy: You guys are making this even harder for me.

 

Doug: It ain’t me. Mark’s the one pulling us off topic every five minutes.

 

Mark (innocently): Like a bear driving a car down an interstate isn’t on the topic?

 

Tracy: The topic is Danger Zone, Mark.

 

Mark: Oh yea. Here, I’ll help out and get us back on track again. Uh… what match are we on again?

 

Doug: Greg Koscik versus Man of War.

 

Mark: Really? Well, we all know what’s going on there. Why do we have to talk about it?

 

Tracy: Because it’s the main event?

 

Mark: Oh yea.

 

Doug: And what a main event it’ll be. Why these two have been going back and forth the past week with idioms and expressions and insults of all kinds.

 

Tracy: And with Man of War’s win over Koscik this past Chaos, many people are saying Man of War’s going to get the World Title.

 

Mark: He did win the tournament at Wild Card, after all. I don’t’ see why he didn’t choose a World Title shot in the first place and saved himself the trouble.

 

Doug: Now it seems like he’s gotten his shot anyway. Funny how that kind of thing happens.

 

(Pyros start going off.)

 

Tracy: Looks like the festivities are about to begin.

 

Andrew:"Coming to the ring, From Clinton, Maryland.... this is Jaden Do' Hurst!"

 

(Jaden makes his way to the ring as the fans boo him. Some fans resort to tossing drinks and the like in his direction. He just ignores them all and climbs into the ring.)

 

Andrew:"And his opponent. She hails from Atlantic City, New Jersey! Here is Kim Von Erich!"

 

(A huge pop comes from the crowd as Kim makes her way to the ring. "Most Girls" by Pink plays on the sound system. Kim looks in the ring to see Jaden casually leaning against the ropes. An evil look crosses her face and she sprints the rest of the way down.)

 

Doug:"Looks like Kim means business tonight! Pete is calling for the bell."

 

(Kim slides into the ring and charges at Jaden, but he raises his boot to meet her. Kim crashes hard to the mat and Jaden follows up quickly with an elbow drop. He goes for the cover, but Kim kicks out immediately. Jaden stands up and pulls Kim up with him. He whips her into the ropes and she ducks a clothesline, and hits the far side. She flies off the ropes but is caught in a flying cross body block. Jaden arrogantly sets her down and holds his hands out as if to ask her to try something. With cat like reflexes, Kim drives a knee into Jaden's gut and plants him with the X-Factor! The crowd cheers their approval. Kim is quick to her feet and she springs on to the top rope. Just as Jaden gets to his feet, Kim flies off with a missile drop kick to the back. Kim gets to her feet and grabs Jaden's legs. She quickly locks on the STF.)

 

Tracy:"Kim is giving everything she has. She has Jaden in the STF! Can she do it?"

 

Mark:"Nope! Jaden just got to the ropes. We'll see where Kim goes from here."

 

(Kim releases the hold and backs away. Just as Jaden gets to his feet, Kim charges at him. Jaden ducks and flips Kim over the top rope. But Kim hangs on to the top rope and lands on the ring apron. Jaden turns and rushes at her, but she grabs the second rope and slides under, stopping right below Jaden. An evil grin appears on her face before she drives a fist up, nailing Jaden with a low blow. Kim braces herself on her elbows and thrusts her legs high in the air, hooking Jaden under the arms. Jaden falls back and Kim has him in a pinning combination.)

 

Pete:"1...2.."

 

(Jaden throws a shoulder up just before Pete can count three. Jaden crawls for the ropes as Kim gets to her feet. Again, Kim circles Jaden like a hunter circling their prey. Kim thrusts her foot forward as Jaden turns to face her, but he catches her foot. Before Kim can even react, Jaden dives forward, landing a hard clothesline. Kim rolls on the mat holding her upper chest and throat area as Jaden gets back to his feet. Jadenreaches down and drags Kim up by the hair, before tossing her into the corner. Jaden pushes Kim's head back and leans forward, screaming in her face. He then backs away, before charging in and hitting her with a knife edge chop. Jaden then grabs her and lifts her up, before hitting a beal half way across the ring. Kim struggles to get up as Jaden comes towards her. Before Kim can get to her feet, Jaden is already pulling her up by the hair again. A smile crosses his face before he body slams her to the mat.)

 

Mark:"This doesn't look good for Kim! She needs to pull something out real quick!"

 

Tracy:"Well if he kept pulling my hair like that.... I'd go postal on his ass!"

 

Doug:"Well I think Kim is trying her best just to not get beat!"

 

(Jaden smiles at the crowd as the boo him loudly. He lifts Kim up once again, only to hit a suplex. He rolls over and goes for a nonchalant cover. Kim gets a shoulder up before Pete even drops down. Jaden looks down at Kim and smiles before getting back to his feet. Kim rolls and tries to crawl away, but Jaden is right there, almost stalking her. Kim reaches for the ropes, but Jaden lifts her up again. Jaden picks her up for a belly to back suplex, but Kim begins to drive fists into Jaden's head. The attack causes Jaden to lose his balance and Kim lands on top of him, still firing shots away at his head. The crowd jumps to their feet as Kim gets up and throws her arm in the air. Jaden gets to his feet and doesn't have time to react to the spear that Kim just took him down with.)

 

Doug:"GORE! GORE!"

 

Tracy:"Uhm, Doug, that was a spear! We don't have Rhyno working in the IWA.... Thank GOD!"

 

(Kim gets to her feet and jumps in the air, nailing Jaden with a legdrop. Getting to her feet, Kim grabs Jaden's foot and spins around, before locking him in a figure four. Jaden howls in pain as Kim sits up trying to put more pressure on Jaden's knee. Jaden sits upright and slaps Kim across the face. Kim falls backwards and rolls, releasing the hold. Jaden gets to his feet and limps for a moment before reaching down for Kim. He pulls her up and sends her into the ropes, before hitting her with a sky high back body drop. Jaden follows that up by lifting Kim up and hitting a backbreaker. Jaden then grabs Kim by the hair again and pulls her up before pointing to the ropes. The fans scream and boo at Jaden.)

 

Mark:"NO! Not Pain AGAIN!! This is too much!"

 

Tracy:"He is no better then Zombie! Enough is enough!"

 

Doug:"If I remember correctly, Tracy! Your boy Knightmare was not too happy about the first time!"

 

Tracy:"Well I won't be happy here either!"

 

(Jaden pulls himself up on to the second rope. He then lifts Kim's face up before slapping her once again. Jaden yanks Kim forward, placing her head between his legs. Jaden reaches down and wraps his arms around her waist before hoisting her up for the powerbomb.)

 

Tracy:"NO! NO!"

 

Doug:"WAIT!! Kim reversed the move!"

 

(Kim pushes off and yanks Jaden with her nailing him with a face buster off the second rope. Kim scurries backwards and grabs the ropes as Jaden lies motionless. Kim staggers over by Jaden just as he starts to stir. She reaches down and pulls him up. Kim goes for a whip into the ropes, but Jaden reverses it. Jaden bends forward and Kim runs back and leap frogs over him. Kim stops short and just as Jaden stands upright, Kim grabs him.)

 

Mark:"Oh My GOD!!"

 

Tracy:"GIRL POWER! GIRL POWER!! Kim just hit Girl Power!"

 

Doug:"And here is the count."

 

Pete:"1..2..3!!"

 

Tracy:"She did it! Kim did it!"

 

Mark:"What an upset! I didn't think she had a chance! But she actually pulled it off!"

 

(Kim stands up before falling back into the corner with both arms raised over her head. The fans go crazy as Kim steps up on the second rope to celebrate.)

 

Tracy:"What an impressive match for Kim! I am so happy!"

 

Doug:"We see that! But we have some news to talk about!"

 

Mark:"And would that be about the next IWA Pay Per View?"

 

Doug:"It sure would! It is called Countdown!"

 

Tracy:"From what I hear, Countdown will be nothing like any Pay Per View we have seen in the past! Because it won't be an IWA show!"

 

Mark:"Exactly! This one will feature the TWF! If you remember, Christoph asked Robert about having an entire event dedicated to Corsair!"

 

Doug:"Yeah, and Robert agreed to that! I haven't heard anything on who will be in it! I'm not sure what wrestlers from the TWF will appear, but if it is in the memory of Corsair.... it will be great!"

 

Tracy:"I agree! The wrestling world suffered a great loss when we lost Corsair! This show will be dedicated to him! So Corsair.... Rest In Peace!"

 

Andrew Robinson: The first opponent of our match, standing in at 6 feet, 5 inches, and weighing 257 pounds, the only Ragin’ Cajun around, he is… Rouge!

 

(Three big pyros go off near the entranceway. People are cheering already, but when the smoke clears, there’ nothing there. Doug makes squinty eyes.)

 

Doug: Where’s Rouge?

 

Mark: Wait for it… Wait for it…

 

(A huuuuge pyro goes off, almost cutting off Mark’s talking. Then Rouge comes out barreling going as fast and Cajun can go (and that’s pretty fast, if you ask me) down the ramp and to the ring. The crowd erupts in approval.)

 

Andrew Robinson: His opponent and challenger for the television title is… Caleb Stone!

 

(The lights cut out, and random bursts of static come up on the sound system for a short while, as a strobe light flashes in unison.  The opening of “Wicked” plays as the strobe lights continue.  Once the main beat kicks in, the lights return, and Caleb walks down to the ring in a cocky matter, soaking in the crowd’s hatred of him – and boy what hatred there is. He makes it down to the ring in a proud manner and hops into the ring.)

 

(Rouge wastes no time after the bell is rung and puts Caleb in an arm bar. Caleb powers out of it with plenty of energy to spare in the beginning of this match. He turns around and provides some company to what Caleb must’ve thought was a lonely stomach – with his boot. Rouge doubles over and Caleb DDTs him easily. Rouge takes his legs out from under Caleb though while he’s down and soon Caleb’s down too. Rouge gets up and quickly drops down for an elbow drop. Nothing big, but that’s in Rouge’s opinion, Caleb’s feeling the pain. They both get up and start brawling – throwing punch after punch. Rouge powers him back with a few hard rights, but Caleb fights back with kicks and chops at his disposal. Eventually they both hit each other square on the nose with good solid punches and knock each other back. The stalemate is there for a short period of time however as they tear into each other again. Rouge takes Caleb up for a scoop slam, but Caleb comes back with a spear. Every move Rouge does, Caleb always seems to come back with one of his own. Rouge hits a tiger driver, but Caleb puts him in a chinlock. Rouge breaks out of it and gives Caleb a sidewalk slam, but Caleb gets him back with several spinning heel kicks to the face after it. Rouge hits a flatliner, but Caleb recoils with a high knee and cradle suplex. It’s back and forth action like no other.)

 

Tracy: Amazing! It seems neither of them can get the upper hand here.

 

Mark: Yet. There’s still a lot of the match to go.

 

Doug: But if Caleb can keep this up, the TV title might be as good as his.

 

(Rouge puts Caleb’s retaliation down for a good amount of time with a lateral press, and a biggy at that. Caleb’s thrown into the ring ropes in a controlled stupor and bounces back to receive a clothesline that would leave anybody’s head spinning for a minute or three. It certainly has that effect on Caleb as he doesn’t see Rouge coming with a northern lights powerbomb packed up all ready for delivery. Caleb takes the delivery, without a choice, and has no time to argue that there was no soy sauce, Rouge’s got him in a fireman’s carry DDT already. Caleb’s hopelessly thrown around, mangled, and disentangled by rouge over the next few minutes. Rouge’s shows off his highflying techniques by jumping off the top rope and hitting Caleb with a moonsault. Caleb hits Rouge with a tope out of nowhere, but he can’t seem to get a streak of any kind going as Rouge just blasts him back with senton. A pump handle slam, and two running elbows later, Caleb’s ready to finally get his chance to be Mr. Guy with the Upper Hand. He hits Rouge with a savat kick and then locks him in a surfboard. Rouge can’t get out off it, at least for a little while. It’s long enough for Joey to come over and break it up. Caleb holds onto Rouge for a little bit longer, then let him go. He comes straight back though with a skytwister press that he takes into a pin. Joey counts one and a half. No, he doesn’t say “and a half”, it’s just assumed that... oh never mind.)

 

Doug: Rouge’s putting the hurt on Caleb now. Caleb was standing up straight to Rouge, but now, it looks like no contest.

 

Tracy: Rouge didn’t become champion in a day, you know. He can handle little whipper snappers like Caleb that pop up out of the woodwork and challenge him.

 

Mark: That’s something that a champion has to have. That and a big enough waist for the belt – I wonder how many slots there on it. Probably not many, you think?

 

(Doug and Tracy look at Mark with little humor in their faces and Rouge relishes the day that Mark ever made a joke like that. Or maybe he relished the day that he agreed to a match with Caleb because Rouge’s been locked into a sleeper hold. He’s fading too fast, but he’s sure feeling the hold and what it was made up for. Caleb lets go, not wanting to get attached to a single move and to back that up he hits a showboat and Rouge is down once again. Rouge wants to hit Caleb with a pedigree, but want just isn’t enough these days I suppose and Caleb reverses it into a pedigree of his own. A Nodowa bomb follows that thought and Caleb goes to the ropes. He bounces back and hits Rouge with a flying elbow and turns him around for a fuji-style arm bar. Rouge throws his head back into Caleb’s so that he can free himself from the hold and be free. Freedom is a dish best savored to the last bite, but Rouge rushes through it and quickly nails Caleb with a gator buster (Cajun style). Caleb shows a vote of confidence in his own skills as he roundhouse kicks rouge and makes him fit for a Japanese arm drag. No one likes a Japanese arm drag, but wrestlers should know that any moment they could round a corner and there’s a Japanese arm drag right there –waiting for them. So Rouge toughs it out and eventually gets his chance to lay out Caleb with a facebuster. He covers and Joey counts a good solid 2.)

 

Mark: It looks like Caleb’s coming back and showing the champ that being a champ doesn’t mean you get to be winning in every step of the match.

 

Doug: Well I’m sure Rouge knows that. But does Rouge really know how good Caleb is? I’m sure he’s underestimated him somewhere along the way.

 

Tracy: That could even be his downfall. Not likely, but maybe.

 

(Rouge picks Caleb up and lays him down with a fallaway slam. He sends Caleb to the ropes and gets ready for his return, but is surprised as Caleb comes back with a running lariat. Upon taking Rouge down, Caleb stomps on his some and then sends him flying to the ropes. Rouge is befuddled by Caleb and his heart punch as he returns. Rouge grabs his chest for a second and Caleb ax kick’s Rouge. Rouge takes hi legs through and knocks out his other leg out from under him. Caleb goes down and falls victim to a leg drop. He then gets Caleb up some and hits an inverted DDT just for kicks and giggles. Showing off Rouge’s somewhat technical ability, he gets Caleb into an Outsider’s Edge. But Caleb shows off his submission abilities and gets Rouge into a sharpshooter. Rouge reaches the ropes though. But Caleb doesn’t like being too far away from his buddy Rouge and gets him into surfboard. Rouge gets tot he ropes again and Caleb breaks the hold. Rouge comes around and plants a kiss, er, I mean, a military slam on Caleb. He follows up to get straight to the point and puts Caleb down with an inverted atomic drop. Caleb comes back, however, with an insiguri kick and then a kitao driver. Rouge doesn’t like it, he never has liked kitalo drivers, ooo those darn kitao drivers. So, he gets Caleb back with a hammerbomb. He goes for the pin as well, but only gets a little more than 2 before Caleb kicks out.)

 

Doug: Well I’ll be darned, I could’ve sworn Rouge had that one.

 

Mark: Ahh you’re just blind, old man. Caleb had plenty of time to kick out.

 

Doug: I thought it was pretty close.

 

Mark: Yea, well that’s what happens when you get old, old man!

 

Doug: I’m not old!

 

Mark: Old man!

 

Tracy: Quit it you two!

 

(Caleb quickly shakes it off and gets Rouge into a full nelson and then lets it flow into a headlock, pulling him down and slamming him into the mat. Rouge bounces up and Caleb trips him back down,s tanding up himself. He goes to the ropes, bounces off, and smacks Rouge with a running elbow. He takes Rouge up and over with an overhead slam. Then he hits Rouge with a side salto. In the words of the old and wise Cajun one, “Rouge ain’t been likin’ none o’ dis”. So Rouge takes it upon himself to get Caleb with a snap suplex then a spine buster to top it off. Caleb super belly-to-belly suplexes Rouge though and Rouge is thinking he ought to have hit Caleb with another spine buster. Because maybe if he had, Caleb wouldn’t be doing the things he’s doing right now, like a Russian leg sweep, then following up with a sitting drop kick. He also lets Rouge have it with a snap mare. Maybe Rouge ought to have done a snap mare instead of a snap suplex. But he can’t debate it any farther than that because Caleb’s going to the pin and he must concentrate to kick out. Which he does kick out, not long after 2 was said. But Caleb doesn’t stand for this, he puts Rouge into a Boston Crab and sees how he likes that. He doesn’t like it too much, he dislikes it enough to crawl over and touch the ropes with his foot. Caleb breaks the hold and takes a reverse grapevine for letting Rouge go. Needless to say, Caleb’s not too pleased. So he hits Hammerfall on rouge and covers to get only 3. Wait, only 3? That’s all it takes, doesn’t it? Yep, Caleb wins.)

 

Doug: Looks like Rouge’s getting a second wind.

 

Mark: You know, I wonder if someone’s ever gotten a third wind. You don’t hear people talking a lot about how someone got their third wind, do you?

 

Doug: No, but I suppose it could happen. After all, you pretty much have to in gigantic matches and the like.

 

Mark: I agree completely.

 

Tracy: Quit your yaking, you guys. We have a new Television Champion!

 

Mark: Where!

 

(The fans boo Caleb loudly as he holds the TV title up above his head in triumph and walks out. Upon walking up the ring, however, his little trip home is interrupted by Pepper Ortega. He’s carrying an Alto sign ( a Spanish stop sign) with him as he rushes at Caleb. He knocks a tired Caleb out with it and Kori who was walking along beside him accidentally. He says a few choice words to Caleb (and believe you me, they probably weren’t ‘Have a nice day’ or ‘I want to father your children’) and then gets out as the crowd goes wild for him and his great attacking skills. (what, that’s not what they were cheering for?))

 

Tracy – Is anyone else cold?

 

Mark – Cold?  How can you be cold?  Weren’t we talking earlier about how it was so hot out today?

 

Tracy – Yeah, but it’s getting pretty dark out now, and getting sort of chilly too.

 

Doug – Leave her alone, Mark.  Women just get cold too easy.  But you got to admit; it’s kind of weird being outdoors for a pay-per-view, or any venue for that matter.

 

Mark – That’s true.  There’s also not much of a backstage area to speak of.

 

Tracy (rubbing her arms to keep warm a bit) – That’s right, so Christoph and Magnum have set up shop in the Owner’s box.

 

(Camera cuts to the Owner’s box above the stands, where Christoph, Magnum, and Kristina Rook are sitting.)

 

Doug – Kristina Rook is back at her first IWA venue since being brutally attacked several months ago at Dead Men Walking 2001.

 

(The scene cuts to a wide view of the arena as Andrew Robinson is getting in the ring to announce the next match.  “Wake Up” plays on the PA as Justin Blair makes his way down to the ring, wearing his sunglasses and vest as usual.  He gets to the ring and climbs up onto the apron, and takes the shades off, and looks to the crowd.  He fakes throwing them a couple times, and then finally throws them to a pack of screaming, and gorgeous women.  They scream even loader once of them catches them.)

 

Andrew – This next match has the following stipulations.  If Justin Blair wins, Jason Anderson has to wear a dress for the next three IWA shows.  Now in the ring, standing at six feet five inches, and weighing in at three hundred pounds, this is JUSTIN BLAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

(The lights go out.  A red lightning bolt flashes on the jumbotron as “F**k the World” plays.  Basir Williams comes walking down the ramp, glaring at the booing crowd.)

 

Andrew – And now making his to the ring, he weighs two hundred and forty pounds, and stands at five feet ten inches; this is BASIR WILLIAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

(Lost Star, our presiding referee for this match calls for the bell, as Justin and Basir come towards the middle of the ring.  They size each other up for a few seconds, and then lock up.  Blair over powers him immediately, and gets Basir into a side headlock.  Basir pushes off quickly, and sends Blair into the ropes, and runs across the other side of the ring himself.  When they meet back in the middle, Basir goes for a standing sleeper hold.  He has it locked on for a little while, all the time Blair is grabbing behind him, trying to grab something on the much shorter Basir Williams.  Finally he just drops to his knees, finally being able to grab Basir’s head, and flipping him over in a make shift snap-mare take down.  Blair goes for his own sleeper hold on Basir.  Basir quickly tries to get up before Blair powers him out.  He manages to get to his feet, and Blair releases the sleeper hold to run and get some momentum off the ropes.  Basir tries for a drop to hold, but Justin jumps over it.  Basir gets up, and tries for a hip toss on Blair’s return trip, but Blair blocks that, and hooks Basir’s other arm, hitting a double under-hook power bomb.  Blair stands up, and drags Basir Williams up with him.  He sets up a vertical suplex, and holds Basir up in the air for a minute, before falling back and finishing the move.)

 

Mark – There’s Justin Blair, showing off the power that he has over the undersized Basir Williams in this match.

 

Doug – He’s still putting up a good fight though.

 

(Blair and Basir both get up on their own power, but Blair still has the advantage as he whips Basir into the ropes.  He gets ready for a power-slam but Basir comes back with a cross-body block, knocking Blair over.  He hooks the leg swiftly.)

 

Lost Star – One, Tw—

 

Tracy – Basir’s got the first pin fall of the match, and almost got a two count for his efforts.

 

Mark – I think the pin fall lasted that long because of the sheer shock of it.  It sure didn’t take Blair much to kick out of that.

 

Doug – He did look a little bug-eyed on the mat.

 

(Basir gets up before Blair, and he hits a missile drop kick on Blair, and another one.  He keeps going until Blair’s collapsed into the corner.  Basir climbs up and hits a spinning DDT off the top turnbuckle.  Basir slingshots off the ropes, and hops over Blair and lands a springboard moonsault on Justin Blair.  He drags Blair up and hits a snap suplex.  He pulls him up again, and goes for another, but Blair shoves Basir down with his own momentum.  Blair grabs Basir’s legs and hits a snowplex, sending Basir’s upper body into the ropes.  He bounces back and crumples down, flat on his back.  Blair covers, and Basir puts his foot on the ropes, and Lost Star sees it right away.  He breaks up the pin, and Blair asks him what the deal is.  As Lost Star quickly explains that his Basir put his foot on the ropes, Basir manages to get to his feet.  Blair leaves well enough alone with Lost Star, and turns to Basir, just in time to catch Basir locking up with him.  Basir hits a quick DDT and goes to the top ropes.  He hits an impressive Shooting Star Press and hooks the leg, getting a two count from Lost Star before Blair kicks out.)

 

Mark – They’re starting to slow down now, after that really fast paced opening.

 

Tracy – It was a great starter though.  It’s been a real back and forth match.

 

Doug – A great Shooting Star Press from Basir Williams, and it gets him a two count.

 

Tracy – I think Blair’s had enough of Basir’s highflying stunts.

 

(Basir and Blair get up at the same time, and Blair quickly sends Basir stumbling backwards with a series of right hands; which become close fisted really quick.  Lost Star shakes a proverbial finger at him, and Blair quits, satisfied that Basir’s been knocked of his rocker slightly.  He whips Basir into the ropes, and rocks his world with a gorilla press slam.  He grabs Basir, and hits a text book power bomb, and following up by rolling him up into a pin.)

 

Lost Star – One, Two, T---

 

Doug – Close three count for Blair.

 

Mark – The press slam and power bomb looked like they took a lot out of Basir there.

 

Tracy – I don’t know, it looks like Basir’s got a little fight left in him.

 

(Basir kicks out, and stumbles to his feet, drilling Blair with closed right hands all the way up.  Lost Star warns him after each one, and eventually pries Basir off of Blair, yelling at him furiously about the closed fists.)

 

Tracy – So what happens if Blair loses?  Does Craig Hunter have to wear a dress?

 

Mark – I don’t know.  I was under that impression.  But Andrew Robinson announced differently.  I guess we’ll have to see what happens.

 

(Basir levels Blair with a spinning heel kick, and quickly locks on a figure four.  Blair’s not far from the ropes, and he manages to shuffle over in due time, despite Basir’s efforts to keep him put.  Blair shakes the ropes, trying to make as obvious as possible that he’s got them, while Lost Star tries to get Basir to let go.)

 

Doug – Looks like the bad blood between these two is starting to spill out.

 

Tracy – Lost Star is starting to count Basir.

 

(Lost Star almost gets to five by the time Basir lets go.  He gets up, and has a cranky look on his face.  He struts around the ring, yelling at the booing crowd.  Blair gets up, and it’s obvious that he’s not too happy either.  His leg looks somewhat shaky, but it’s nothing serious.  Basir and Blair start trading right hands in the middle of the ring.  Blair gets the upper hand, and whips Basir into the ropes.  He lands a really begrudged power slam, and picks Basir up right away, throwing him into a front face lock, setting him up for a…)

 

Doug – Screwdriver!!  It’s over.

 

(Justin grabs Basir’s ankles, and pulls his legs up, curling him up for a pin.)

 

Lost Star – One, Two, Three!!!

 

(Lost Star calls for the bell as Blair gets up and plays to the crowd a bit.  Basir slowly gets up and walks up the ramp, fatigued.)

 

Andrew – Ladies and Gentlemen, your winner, JUSTIN BLAIR!!!!!!!!  Jason Anderson now has to wear a dress for the next three shows.

 

(Basir turns around and looks at the ring after that, ghostly pale, suddenly remembering the stipulation.  In the back, Jason Anderson is shown watching the match, and after Blair’s Screwdriver his face goes whiter than Basir’s just was.  Back to the announcer’s table.)

 

Tracy – It looks like Basir is more worried about what Jason Anderson is going to say than about losing the match.

 

Doug – He can’t be too happy about losing to Blair though.  Chances are that this isn’t over.

 

Mark – It’s probably not over in Jason Anderson’s mind.

 

(The camera cuts back to the locker rooms where IWA Security has set up shop.  Rook, John Kerr, and Makko, are sitting around, keeping tabs on things with radio contact.  Rook radios Risk who’s at LaGrange College, not all that far away.)

 

Rook (into the radio) – How are things over there, Risk?

 

(Scene cuts to LaGrange College.)

 

Risk (also into his radio) – There’s no problems so far.  Actually, so far, things are going perfectly tonight.

 

(Cut back to the arena locker rooms.  Rook sighs a little bit then mumbles something about how things are too perfect.)

 

Rook – I’ve got a bad feeling about tonight.

 

(Back to the ring, “Moon-baby” starts to play, as Icon and Stacy make their way down the ramp.  Stacy flips birds to the booing crowd, flaunts her body, and in between all that she tries to psych Icon up.  Icon nods every once in a while, and eventually seems to get excited about the match.  They climb into the ring.)

 

Andrew – In the ring, at a combined weight of 354 pounds, representing the Seventh Generation, they are ICON and “STUNNING” STACY VALENTINE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

And their opponents…

 

(“Burning Oasis” begins to play, as DownFire and Knightmare come out through the curtain, with Robert by their side.)

 

Andrew – Currently making their way to the ring, both of them Hall of Famers, and accompanied to the ring by former IWA President, Robert Chauncey, representing the First Wave, they are DOWNFIRE and KNIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Mark – Looks like Robert’s showing some moral support for his team tonight.

 

Tracy – I wonder what kind of role he’s going to play in this match.

 

Doug – Robert’s always hated interference though, I think he’ll just stand by and cheer them on.

 

Tracy – Yeah, this is true.  But he’s gathered a team of all-stars that know how to break the rules, and they do it rather well.  He might have thrown that belief out the window.

 

Mark – I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.  It looks like Dean is ready to start things up.

 

(Knightmare and Icon start things up.  Knightmare tries to lock up, but Icon dodges.  Knightmare goes for it again, and again, Icon just keeps dodging out of the way.)

 

Tracy – Okay, Icon, we get it, you’re fast.

 

(Knightmare tries on more time, but puts a little too much into it as he stumbles forward a little bit.  Icon moves in really quick and hits a Side Russian Leg Sweep.  He gets up right away, and showboats to the crowd, who scream at him.  It’s obvious his confidence shot right up with that move.  He waits for Knightmare to get up, all the time pacing back and forth, looking for his next point of attack.  Once Knightmare’s up, he hits a missile drop kick, which sends Knightmare stumbling towards the Seventh Generation’s corner.  Stacy climbs up to the second turnbuckle so she has enough reach to pull Knightmare closer and lock on a chokehold.)

 

Mark – It looks like Icon thought long and hard about how he was going to deal with Knightmare.

 

Doug – And it looks like Stacy thought thirty seconds about how she was going to deal with anyone in this match.

 

Tracy – Oh?  And what do you think she came up with?

 

Doug – Three simple strategies; double team, double team, and double team.

 

(Dean makes Stacy let go of Knightmare.  She lets go immediately, and acts like she wasn’t doing anything, and makes sure Dean knows it.  Icon quickly tags Stacy in.  She hops up onto the turnbuckle, and hops onto Knightmare’s shoulders for a hurricanrana, but she’s too short, or Knightmare’s to tall, as her arms don’t even reach the ground.  Knightmare pulls her back up into the air, trying for a power bomb, but Stacy keeps the momentum going, and sits on top of his shoulders, and clocks him with blatantly closed right fists.  Knightmare lets go of her and she jumps down, and hops up onto the turnbuckle that’s still right behind her, and lands a flying missile drop kick.)

 

Mark – What was Stacy thinking with that hurricanrana?  Knightmare is well over twice her weight, almost three times, and much, much taller.  How did she think she was going to pull it off?

 

Doug – Her ego is three times the size of Knightmare’s, maybe she thought that would balance things out.

 

Tracy – It doesn’t matter how small she is, because she’s still managing to get a good offense going on him.  Her and Icon have been actually, they’re tagging in and out lots.  Icon’s back in.

 

(Now it’s Icon’s turn to get back to the top ropes.  He jumps off and hits a flying back heel kick.  Icon whips Stacy into the ropes and launches her into the air towards Knightmare, who’s just gotten back to his feet, for a supercharged flying clothesline.  Knightmare manages to catch her in midair though, and drops her with a sidewalk slam that would make The Rock proud.  Icon rushes Knightmare, but is met by a huge clothesline and he’s knocked off his feet and the crowd goes nuts, happy that the First Wave is finally getting some offense in.)

 

Tracy – OH MY GOD!!  What a counter from Knightmare!

 

Doug – And the crowd loves it!

 

Mark – Give Icon and Stacy a hand though, that was an innovative piece of offense.

 

(Dean sends Stacy back into the corner, as Knightmare whips Icon into the ropes, and tags DownFire in, just in time for Dean to catch it.  Even he’s going to the top ropes now too, as Knightmare lifts Icon up for DownFire to absolutely level with a flying clothesline.  DownFire picks Icon up, and hits a quick and brutal snap suplex.  Icon sits up and DownFire locks on a surfboard.  Icon screams once in a while, and there’s nowhere for him to go, they’re in the middle of the ring.  After a while DownFire just lets go and makes Icon get up under his own power.  Once he’s up DownFire whips him into the ropes, and follows him in, buckling Icon once he rebounds off over his knee.)

 

Mark – You’d think DownFire would use a leg submission move instead of a surfboard.

 

Doug – I wouldn’t say that, those surfboards hurt. Besides, now a day it seams like DownFire likes hurting people, and teasing that glimmer of hope they have.

 

Tracy – How do you know surfboards hurt?

 

Doug – You’d be surprised what you learn when you referee.

 

(DownFire drags Icon up, and gets his eyes raked for the effort.  Icon dives over and tags in Stacy.  She comes running in, but DownFire side steps her and locks on a full nelson, following it up with a harsh full-nelson slam.  Stacy motions with her finger for Icon to come in while she’s still on the mat.  He does, confused and reluctantly, and goes right back out when Dean runs over and keeps him from coming in.  Stacy takes the time to give DownFire a low blow as he drags her up by her hair.  Obviously, Dean doesn’t see it, and Knightmare isn’t too happy.  I’m sure you can imagine DownFire isn’t either.  Stacy quickly hits the Missionary Position.  She crawls on top of DownFire, and pretends she’s… “Riding” him for a couple seconds, before she starts pounding him with, you guessed it, closed fists.)

 

Mark – I guess you’re right, Doug.  DownFire does have a mean streak in him.  That full-nelson slam had very harsh flavor to it.

 

Doug – It gave Stacy and opportunity to pull a dirty trick though.  If there’s anything Stacy’s better at than looking pretty, it’s getting a referee to turn a blind eye.

 

(Dean scolds Stacy about the closed fists after she stands up.  She protrudes her rear end at Doug, and invites her to spank it, you know, because she’s been a bad girl.  She grabs DownFire’s head as he stands up, and knees him once or twice in his rib cage.  Then she drags him over to her corner, and tags in Icon.  He starts to get out, but she stops him, and points to the turnbuckle.  She climbs up, and hits a spinning DDT from the top turn buckle.  Icon jumps up there right after her, and hits a senton bomb.  They grab DownFire, and whip him into a neutral corner.  Stacy hits him with a tumbling body splash, before Dean insists she leave the ring.)

 

Tracy – I think it’s safe to say that Stacy’s back to her old self.

 

Doug – She’s also coordinating a lot of the attacks between her and Icon.  This is probably bringing her back to her days with Devon and Jeremiah Kool in the Cutting Edge.

 

Mark – Don’t ever let Stacy hear this, but I think she was born to lead.  She’s even somewhat good at it.

 

Tracy – Sure, when she isn’t yelling at, belittling, or beating up her teammates; then she’s a good leader.

 

(Icon drags DownFire out of the corner, and hops up the turnbuckle.  He jumps off, flipping over DownFire.  He catches DownFire’s head on the way down and it makes a make shift neck breaker.  They’re both slow to get up, and Icon manages to get up first.  DownFire isn’t far behind.  Icon tries for a DDT, but DownFire hits him with a Manhattan drop.  He dives over and tags Knightmare’s extended hand.  Knightmare rushes the ring, as the crowd cheers.  He whips Icon into the ropes, and hits him with a delayed power slam on the return.  Stacy jumps to the top turnbuckle, and then jumps off, slingshots off the ropes, and levels Knightmare with a cross body block.  DownFire comes back into the ring, and spears Stacy, and then he locks on a sharpshooter.  They’re right by the ropes, and Stacy shakes them desperately.  Dean tells DownFire to let go, but he refuses, because they’re not the legal men in the ring.  Icon gets up, and crawls over the fallen Knightmare, and hooks a leg.  Dean sees it right away, now that DownFire has reminded him who the legal men are.)

 

Dean – One, Two…

 

Tracy – I wonder if it would have been over if Icon was there sooner.

 

Mark – Would Dean have seen it?

 

Doug – Probably not any sooner than Icon got there.

 

(Stacy manages to sit up and grab DownFire by his manly pride.  He lets go right away, and she does too, and she’s even faster to get up than DownFire.  She hits him with a spinning heel kick, as Icon and Knightmare have gotten up and started to trade blows.  DownFire gets up as Stacy jumps to the ropes for a springboard moonsault on DownFire.  He catches her, and drops down with a tombstone pile driver, just as Knightmare gets the upper hand on Icon, and flips him over with a fireman’s carry.  The crowd is going wild as DownFire and Knightmare whip Icon and Stacy in opposite directions.  On the rebound, Icon launches Stacy into the air, and she tries for a flying clothesline on both DownFire and Knightmare.  She hit’s it perfectly, and she starts climbing the turnbuckle, as the crowd boos.  She has a few choice words with the crowd, and then jumps down.  She turns around to see Dean beckoning her out of the ring.  Icon drags Knightmare up and manages a fisherman suplex on Knightmare.)

 

Dean – One, Two, Thr----

 

(DownFire has gotten up breaks it up before three.  Dean gets up and chases him out of the ring.  Meanwhile Knightmare nails Icon with a power bomb, and rolls him up for the pin in the process.  He’s there for a probably almost a two count before Dean even starts to count.  Dean rushes down to count, and gets to two before Icon gets out.  The crowd lets out a frustrated “awww,” disappointed that Dean was late counting.)

 

Tracy – Dean’s finally got order in the ring, but he’s missed a couple counts because of a few distractions.

 

Doug – That was some great tag team wrestling though.  Back and forth, double teams, tornado fighting, it was great!

 

Mark – Yeah, too bad Dean got control of everything.

 

(Icon and Knightmare trade blows, and Icon gets the upper hand, surprising even him self.    He keeps going, and finally whips him into the ropes.  Stacy kicks him in the back as he bounces off, and Knightmare collapses.  Icon tags in Stacy, and she climbs the turnbuckle.  Icon holds Knightmare down and spreads his legs apart, wishbone style, as Stacy jumps down and head buts him in the groin.  Dean objects very vocally the entire time.  Stacy locks Knightmare in the Long Kiss Goodnight.  It takes Knightmare a while to realize that he’s right by the ropes.  He grabs the ropes and Dean makes Stacy break.  She holds on for a little bit, but lets go and tags Icon back in.)

 

Doug – Icon and Stacy are back to their quick in and out strategy.

 

(Icon jumps over the ropes and hits Knightmare with a body splash.  Icon and Stacy drag him into their corner, and they stomp him together.  Dean chases Stacy out, but Icon just tags her back in anyways.  Dean throws his hands in the air and shakes his head.  What can you do?  Icon drags Knightmare out of the corner, and Stacy flies off the turnbuckle with a 450 Splash.  Icon hops up, and lands a corkscrew moonsault.  He goes back to his corner, as Stacy hits South of Heaven on Knightmare.  Knightmare gets up, and with his last bit of steam, he locks Stacy into a vertical suplex, but he tires out and kind of drops her and it end up being sort of a combination Brain Buster/vertical suplex.  They’re both down, and Dean begins to count them out.  They stir immediately, but they don’t get reasonably mobile until Dean’s at five, the each crawl into their respective corners.  DownFire’s waiting impatiently, and Icon’s waiting desperately.  Stacy gets the tag first, and when Knightmare gets the tag, the crowd breaths a sigh of relief and cheers DownFire on as he barrels into the ring, clobbering Icon with a hard clothesline.)

 

Tracy – They’re tagging in and out really fast now.  Dean doesn’t know what to do.

 

Doug – There isn’t much he can do.

 

Mark – Ouch!!  That had to hurt!  Knightmare powered out when he was going for that suplex!

 

Doug – That took a lot out of Stacy though, it might be just the break that the First Wave needs here, because it didn’t look like Knightmare was going to get away from Gen7’s double teams.

 

(DownFire greets Icon with a boot to the gut, and then sets up him.  He smirks out to the crowd, partially at them cheering him, and partially at the fact that he’s ready to finish Icon off.  The crowd is going crazy.)

 

Doug – ASHPILER!!!  DownFire’s got the cover!

 

Tracy – It doesn’t look like Knightmare or Stacy are in any condition to interfere with this pin!

 

Dean – One…

 

Mark – Stacy’s getting up…

 

Dean - … Two…

 

Doug – She sees DownFire, and she’s getting over there as fast as she can.

 

Mark – She’s almost there!

 

Dean - … Three!!

 

(Dean calls for the bell, not like you could hear it over the crowd or anything, just as Stacy rams into DownFire.  Knightmare rolls out of the ring and Robert gives him a little help up.  Knightmare finally manages on his own, and DownFire flops out of the ring.  Robert congratulates them, as Knightmare plays the crowd a little bit.  DownFire just walks up the ramp calmly, smirking.)

 

Andrew Robinson – And your winners, the FIRST WAVE!!!!!!!!!

 

[The camera goes to Andy Perry who is standing on top of the platform. “Black in Black” by AC/DC plays as Brimstone steps up on the platform. He stands on one side with his arms folded waiting on Chillfactor. The camera sweeps from the platform to the huge crowd of college students and other fans that have gathered here to see this match it also shows a shot of the dorms where students are hanging out the windows screaming their heads off. “Mr. Scary” by Dokken plays and Chill Factor steps walks up to the other side of the platform. . The crowd erupts in cheers and keeps chanting his name as he hands the Hardcore title over to Andy Perry. Andy pulls a mic out of his pocket.]

Andy: The goal of this match is to make it to the ring that is set up in the Quadrangle/ there will be no pin falls counted until you reach it.

[The bell rings and the tow go at it right away trading blows left and right. Chill Factor gets the upper hand, but gives it away when he yells something to the crowd. Brimstone takes this as his opportunity the lay in enough hits to knock Chill Factor off the platform. He jumps off after him and plants him into the ground with a DDT. He looks around fro something to hit Chilly with, but there is nothing available at the time. So he picks Chilly up and takes him over to the announce table. He says some interesting words to Nightmare and then slams Chilly’s head into the announce table. He does it twice, but the third time somehow wakes Chilly up. Chilly begins laying in shoot after shot to Brimstone’s gut. The two of them begin to brawl away from the table and head up the stairs into the back parking lot of three of the dorms.]

Jennifer: This match has already started out at full speed. These two haven’t wasted anything yet, but they still have a some way to go before they reach the ring in the Quadrangle.

Nightmare: Just wait. Chilly is going to get the best of Brimstone and keep the Hardcore title.

Jennifer: We’ll have to see how things turn out. Right now they are fighting on the bottom floor of Henry Dorm I believe. Andy and the cameraman are having a little bit of fun catching up with them. Luckily Robert popped for multiple camera crews to be set up all over campus so we won’t miss one bit of the action.

[They are still fighting on the first floor with a bunch of students who live on that floor cheering them on left and right. Brimstone throws Chill Factor into the wall and attempts to follow it up with a clothesline, but chilly ducks out of the way and Brimstone ends up hitting this little dwarf like annoying college student. Brimstone doesn’t show much remorse for what he did, but he really can't see anything now because Chilly dropped a trashcan over his head. He then follows up by kicking the back of Brimstones knees to put Brimstone down on the mat. And then in typical Chill Factor style ye plays the bongos on the top of the trash can and lets out a loud Babaloo in typical Desi Aranz fashion.  Chilly then helps Brimstone up to his feet and rams him into the wall. Brimstone falls down and begins to try to get himself out of the trashcan. Chilly just skips off into the open door on the floor leading into the laundry room. He sees the elevator door opening and begins to look inside in it at all the pictures and what not. He turns around just in time to get speared inside the elevator by Brimstone. The doors shut and that is the last we see of them.]

Jennifer: Great! The one place we couldn’t’ put a camera in.

Nightmare: Well I think it’s pretty obvious what they are doing in there. They are trying to tear each other apart.

Jennifer: I just hope they get out of that Elevator soon so we can see what is going on with this fight.

[The camera goes to the main floor of Henry Dorm where the elevators doors open and Chilly falls out. Brimstone follows him out and throws him into a door that reads “Resident Director: Mary Wilson.” The door opens and a woman, probably Ms. Wilson walks out of it. She screams and runs to get out of the way as Chilly falls into her office/ Living area. Brimstone follows him in, but he doesn’t see Chilly at first. He does see the mop that Chilly hits him with though. Brimstone doubles over and gets hit with the mop a couple of times until he is on the floor. Chilly then picks up the candy dish that is sitting next to the television and hits Brimstone with it. Chilly walks into the kitchen area trying to find something to use, but can’t find anything that fits his nature of Hardcore matches. Brimstone is slowly getting to his feet and then chilly sees it. He sees the one thing that he has never used in a hard-core match before. He almost stands there in awe of it before picking it up off the wall. Brimstone gets to his feet just in time to be nailed in the head with a big wooden… Spoon!!!!]

Chill factor: Spoon!

[He hits Brimstone with it one more time knocking him back out the door. Unfortunately the force of the blow was enough to break the spoon. Chilly drops the fragments of the spoon and walks out the door. He follows Brimstone out the building, how apparently wants top try to get this match somewhere where he could take a better advantage of it. He walks up the stairs in front of Henry and Chilly is quickly on his heels. The two of them begin to brawl through the parking lot where even more college students are watching in anticipation of this match. Brimstone gets the upper hand of the fight and wobbles Chilly with a quick right hand. He then runs over to a College kid with a hockey stick and snatches the thing from his hand. He takes a full swing with at Chilly that looks like it almost takes his head off and the blow knocks chilly into a car. Chilly Tries to get his bearings some more and walks away from the car. He finds himself in front of this huge hill over looking the frat houses that the college has. He turns around as he hears a whistle and sees Brimstone standing behind him with the hockey stick still. Brimstone takes one more full swing that knocks chilly down and breaks the hockey stick. Brimstone then kicks Chilly down the hill. And throws the pieces of the hockey stick at Chilly who is rolling down the hill. Luckily the police barricaded the entire campus off or Chilly might be in danger of getting hit by a car. Brimstone follows Down the hill while Chilly is getting to his feet and walks into the frat house with “Kappa Sigma on the front of it.  Brimstone is quickly following him, but can’t seem to find him amongst the sea of fraternity guys and their friends who are watching the pay per view on their TV. Brimstone grabs one of the guys to find out where Chilly is, but gets hit in the head with this stupid looking wooden mask. Brimstone doubles over and Chilly grabs his head and rams it into the Fraternity’s stereo system.  Some of the them cheer at this while the more sober one’s are kinda pissed off that their stereo got smashed. Chilly drops a couple of speakers on Brimstone and then walks off through eh house to find something else to play with. The camera can’t seem to find Chilly, but it sees Brimstone getting to his feet. He hops up and walks around the house with a beer bottle in hand. ]

Jennifer: Well that Frat is not going to be happy about this match coming to their house tonight.

Nightmare: Well from the number of beer bottles on the floor I think that we won’t have to worry about that. They may not even remember it.

Jennifer: Well I wondering about that myself. I also don’t think that Chilly is going to remember anything after Brimstone just broke that beer bottle over his head.

Nightmare: He’s had worse done to him, but I think Brimstone wants to Powerbomb him onto that pool table.

[Brimstone puts Chilly’s head between his legs and attempts a power bomb, but Chilly lifts up back body dropping Brimstone onto the table. Brimstone is stunned on the table. And ironically his legs are open and there is a pool ball set up perfectly. Chilly picks up a pool cue and make shoots the pool ball right into Brimstone’s well.. you know... Brimstone let’s out this scream and rolls off the table. Chilly walks over to him and tries to pick him up. But he is thanked with a low blow that double Chilly over. He sets the Powerbomb up again and this time successfully powerbombs Chilly on the table, which makes the table, collapse. Brimstone picks Chilly up and flings him into the direction of the camera. Then there is nothing, but static. The camera angle goes back to Nightmare and Jennifer sitting at the announce table.]

Nightmare: What happened to the feed?

Jennifer: Well from what I’m hearing Chill factor got thrown into the cameraman. So we’ve lost the feed for the frat houses. But I’m, hearing that they are still going at it and on their way back to the main campus. Have you eve seen anything like this before.

Nightmare: I can’t say that I have, but if anyone can win something like this, then Chilly will be the man to do it.

Jennifer: Wait…. I’m hearing that they have made it back to campus and they are.. Oh my god.. They have made it into one of the dorms. Pitts I believe. WE have a camera ready to go there so let’s see what’s happening.

[The camera shifts over to Pitt’s dorm where there is a group of students standing in the hall cheering on the fight that is going on in the room they are standing outside of. Inside the room Chilly is actually in some way, shape or fashion spanking Brimstone with a sorority paddle. He then picks up a couple of stuffed animals and hit Brimstone with them. There is not affect on Brimstone and Chilly realizes that they aren’t like his stuffed animals. He reaches into one of the closets and pulls out one of the girl’s bikini tops. He whips Brimstone with it a couple times before truing to use it to choke Brimstone out. He gets on top of Brimstone and tries to choke him a little more, but Brimstone manages to pick up the keyboard t one of their computers and smack Chilly over the head with it. Chilly falls backwards letting go of the choke and Brimstone falls forward trying to get some air. Chilly is the first one to his feet but that doesn’t last long due to the keyboard low blow Brimstone just hit him with. Chilly jumps up and down holding himself until he finally bounces his way out of the room. Brimstone follows him. He grabs Chilly and slams into one wall and then into the other. This continues until they get to the main door of the building. The camera outside the building catches Chilly falling out the front door and Brimstone following him. Brimstone picks Chilly up and takes him over to the fountain. He sets chilly up so he can clothesline him into the fountain, but doesn’t pull it off thanks to chilly tripping him up and then pushing him into the fountain. Brimstone splashes around in the fountain and sees Chilly skipping over into the Pitts dining hall. He looks extremely frustrated knowing that the Quadrangle in the other direction.]

Jennifer: it looks like Brimstone is getting a little frustrated.

Nightmare: Well Christoph did make this match a bit more difficult than I thought he would. I thought this match was going to be falls count anywhere, but instead they have to make it to that ring in the Quadrangle for the match to officially end.

Jennifer: I think he also knows that he has had some spots where he could have easily pinned Chill Factor but it wouldn’t have mattered.

Nightmare: Well they are close to the And now. All he has to do is get Chilly there.

Jennifer: Well it looks like that is what he has planned. He’s getting up and heading to the

Dining hall.

[Brimstone walks into the dining hall and a guy at the front desk asks him can he scan his card. Brimstone just decks the guy to the delight of some of the college students watching. He continues to walk through eh dining hall looking for Chilly. He gets to the back where Some students are still getting some food. Yet he still doesn’t see Chilly. He turns around to look back towards the front when Chilly wearing a chef’s hat runs up behind him and hits him in the head with a frying pan. Brimstone doubles over and chilly hits him again. Chilly then drops the frying pan and follows Brimstone out to the front of the building with a pair of salad tongs in his hand. He hits Brimstone with them a couple of times which looks to be annoying Brimstone more than its hurting him. Brimstone manages to grab Chilly’s arm and Irish whips him with authority out to emergency door to the right of them. Brimstone follows him out and plants him on the grass luckily with a DDT. He then throws Chilly over his shoulder and takes him past the business office and the smith building to the Quadrangle where the ring is set up and Andy Perry is waiting. He throws Chilly in the ring and begins to set up two tables at ringside.]

Jennifer: Well they finally made it to the Quadrangle. Now we have chance of seeing how this exciting match is going to end.

Nightmare: It’d going to end with Chilly picking up the win.

Jennifer: That remains t be seen. He is just now getting up and Brimstone is coming in the ring with a chair that he took form one of the fans sitting at Ringside.

[Brimstone puts the chair on the mat and drops Chilly on it with a body slam. He goes for the pin.]

Andy: 1,2..

[Chilly kicks out and Brimstone still looks frustrated. He begins to viciously kick at chilly trying to keep him down on the mat. He picks Chilly up and drops him with a running pwoerslam, yet he doesn’t go for the cover. He slides outside the ring to get one of the tables that he set up earlier. He brings it into the ring and sets it up near the ropes. He goes back to the attack on Chilly, but Chilly is ready for him with an attack of his won. He hits a couple of kicks to Brimstones gut and then whips him into he ropes to meet him with a drop kick. Brimstone hits the mat and Chilly goes in to execute his Frozen Null submission.]

Nightmare: And look at that. He’s got the full nelson part of the Frozen Null locked on and now it’s just a matter of time till this match is over.

Jennifer: I don’t know about that. He has to actually tap out first. Wait.

[Brimstone is actually lifting Chilly up onto his back and the two of them fall out of the ring and through one of the tables that Brimstone set up earlier. Brimstone lands on top of him and Andy is there ready to make the count.]

Jennifer: what the hell!

Andy: 1,2…3!

[Brimstone gets up and snatches the belt away from Andy and walks off with it as the entire crowd boos him heavily.]

Jennifer: We have a new Hardcore champion. This is the second title to change hands tonight. You have wonder now what is going to happen in the United States, World tag team, and World title matches tonight.

Nightmare: I can’t believe that Chilly lost. But all I do know is that Brimstone got lucky. I’ve already set up a match between him and me and I plan on getting that Hardcore title now.

Jennifer: ok well back to you Doug

Mark:"Can you believe that? That has to be one of the greatest Hardcore matches the IWA has had in a long time."

 

Doug:"Those two used just about every move in the book."

 

Tracy:"Yeah, and every weapon too. But do you guys see a trend happening here tonight? I mean, we have had two title defenses, and they have both resulted in changing hands."

 

Doug:"You are right! What a way for Danger Zone to happen."

 

Mark:"Unfortunately, Charon has the Prince of Darkness to contend with next. And Charon's United States title is on the line."

 

Tracy:"If I had to give a prediction, I'm saying Charon is in for a long night! And he will weigh a little less after this match."

 

(The camera turns to the ring for the announcement.)

 

Andrew:"This match is for the IWA United States Championship. First the challenger. Accomponied by the owner of the IWA, Robert Chauncey. He is a member of the First Wave. Here is Ezekiel!"

 

(Zeke walks out with Robert by his side. The fans go crazy and cheer him all the way to the ring. Ezekiel looks around with a slight grin at the response he is getting.)

 

Andrew:"And the champion. Hailing from New York City, New York, this is Charon!"

 

(The fans boo Charon as he walks to the ring. He waves his hand at them telling them he could care less how they feel.)

 

Doug:"Well this one is ready to get underway! Lost Star is calling for the bell."

 

Tracy:"And Ezekiel is not waiting any longer."

 

(Ezekiel charges inm and nails Charon with a forearm to the head. Zeke pushes Charon into the corner and begins to hammer away at the champion. Zeke pulls Charon to the center of the ring and nails a pump handle bomb in the middle of the ring. Ezekiel jumps to his feet and starts kicking away at Charon. The crowd cheers as Zeke lifts Charon up and calls for the Final Judgement. Ezekiel hoists Charon up, but Charon slithers out and nails Zeke in the back with an elbow. Zeke stumbles forward and then spins around as Ezekiel drops him with a thrust kick. Charon pulls Zeke up and whips him into the ropes. Charon ducks behind Ezekiel and locks on an adominal stretch. Zeke is trying to fight it but Charon locks the hold on tighter. With Lost Star asking Ezekiel if he wants to call it a night, Charon reaches back and grabs the ropes for more leverage.)

 

Mark:"Look at Charon, he has the ropes! And Lost Star doesn't see it!"

 

Tracy:"Well Charon is lucky he slipped out of Final Judgement, or this match would already be over."

 

(Lost Star jumps up to check on Charon, and just misses Charon holding the ropes. Charon looks at Lost Star innocently, before the ref checks on Ezekiel again. Charon grabs the ropes again and the fans scream for Lost Star. Before Lost Star can get to his feet, Charon releases the hold and pushes Ezekiel down, face first to the mat. Charon goes to the corner and pulls himself up to the second rope. Ezekiel gets to his feet and Charon jumps off nailing Ezekiel with a bulldog. The champion gets to his feet to the boos from the crowd. Charon lifts Ezekiel up and throws him into the ropes. Charon  scoops Ezekiel up and powerslams him to the mat. Charon curls the leg.)

 

Lost Star:"1...2"

 

Doug:"Only a two count!"

 

(Charon yells at Lost Star to make a quicker count, but Lost Star just points to Ezekiel. Charon grabs Ezekiel pulls him up again, before whipping him into the corner. Ezekiel hits hard and staggers out into the center of the ring where Charon hits him with an inverted atomic drop. Ezekiel turns away and clutches his lower region but Charon is there still waiting for the kill, and Charon lifts Ezekiel up and lands a Samoan drop. Charon rolls over for the cover.)

 

Lost Star:"1...2.."

 

(Ezekiel throws the shoulder up and Charon jumps up and argues with Lost Star. Charon cusses at the ref and then turns around to continue his assault on Ezekiel. Charon pulls Zeke up and hooks him for a suplex. Ezekiel blocks the first attempt, and then the second. Ezekiel then hooks Charon and nails him with a suplex of his own. Both men lie in the ring for a moment, but Charon reaches for the ropes, and pulls himself up. Charon gets to his feet first and walks towards Ezekiel. Charon grabs Zeke who is just up on his knees and goes to lift him. Quickly, Ezekiel reaches up and grabs Charon around the head, and pulls him down so Charon's chin is resting on the top of Zeke's head. Ezekiel then jumps up and drops back to his knees driving Charon's chin into his head. The champion grabs his face and falls back hard on the mat.)

 

Mark:"What a great move by Ezekiel! That just changed the momentum into his favor."

 

Tracy:"And there goes Zeke, in for the kill!"

 

(Ezekiel pulls Charon up and pushes him into the ropes. He lands a few knife edge chops before throwing Charon across the ring. Ezekiel runs in and lands a low knee that causes Charon to flip on to his back. Zeke pulls Charon back to his feet and pushes him into the ropes, before yanking him forward and hoisting him up onto his shoulders. Zeke then lunges up and spins Charon before nailing a Diamond Cutter. Ezekiel gets to his feet and pulls Charon up again, before throwing him into the ropes again. Ezekiel lands a textbook spinebuster and rolls on to Charon for the cover.)

 

Lost Star:"1...2.."

 

(Charon throws a shoulder up. Ezekiel gets to his feet and yanks Charon up. Ezekiel throws the champion into the corner and follows him in with a hard clothesline. Ezekiel spins Charon around and jumps on to the second rope. Ezekiel hooks Charon and then lands a tornado DDT. Again, Zeke goes for the cover.)

 

Lost Star:"1...2.."

 

Tracy:"Charon got his shoulder up again."

 

(Ezekiel gets to his feet and lifts Charon up on to his shoulder. Ezekiel runs forward and nails Charon with a shoulder breaker. Ezekiel gets to his feet again, but he goes to the corner and pulls himself up on to the second rope. Charon slowly gets to his feet and steps up on to the top rope. Just as Charon turns, Ezekiel comes of the top rope with a hard shoulder block. Ezekiel stands up and calls for the Final Judgement again. The fans go crazy as Zeke pulls Charon to his feet. Charon, quickly, pushes off and slides out of the ring to avoid the move.)

 

Doug:"That is the second time that Charon got away from Ezekiel's finisher! He must have a rabbit's foot in his pocket."

 

(Zeke follows Charon out of the ring, but the champion runs around he outside, before sliding under the opes and back into the ring. Ezekiel follows close behind, but is met with a boot to the face, just as he slides under the rope. Ezekiel slides back to the floor holding his jaw. Lost Star backs Charon up as Ezekiel gets on the ring apron. Ezekiel ducks down to step through the ropes and Charon charges past Lost Star to nail Ezekiel with a big knee lift. Before Ezekiel can even react, Charon nails him with Death Be Not Proud. Charon drops for the cover.)

 

Mark:"NO!! Charon hit his finisher. There goes Lost Star for the count."

 

Lost Star:"1...2...3!!"

 

Tracy:"Charon got Ezekiel! I can't believe... No wait! Lost Star is waving off the count! Ezekiel had his foot on the bottom rope. And look at Robert pounding on the mat, cheering Zeke on!"

 

(Charon is on his feet with both hands raised in the air, but Lost Star is shaking his head no. Lost Star kicks the bottom rope telling Charon that Zeke had his foot on the rope. Charon shakes his head and turns to go after Ezekiel. Unfortunately, Ezekiel is already up and charging in. Zeke jumps in the air and nails Charon with a high knee. Ezekiel follows that up by hoisting Charon up and hitting a dragon suplex. The fans are going crazy, as is Robert at ringside. Ezekiel pulls Charon up and hits him with a gutwrench powerbomb. Zeke drops down for the cover.)

 

Lost Star:"1..2"

 

(Charon kicks out and Ezekiel gets up. Ezekiel waits for Charon to get to his feet and he locks him in a sleeper. Charon pulls at Ezekiel and then tugs his way to the corner. Charon walks up the ropes and then pushes off, crushing Ezekiel into the mat. Charon rolls back for the cover, but Zeke kicks right out. Both men get to their feet and Charon nails Ezekiel with a right. Zeke throws one back and both men exchange punches. Charon comes up with a thumb to the eye, but before Lost Star can object, Charon steps up and nails Ezekiel with a Rock Bottom. Charon goes for the cover, but he places his feet up on the second rope.)

 

Mark:"NO! Not like this!"

 

Lost Star:"1...2...thr"

 

Tracy:"Ezekiel still kicked out! And Charon is furious!"

 

(Charon jumps to his feet and shoves Lost Star! Without heitation Lost Star shoves Charon back,and Ezekiel reaches up and pulls Charon down in a school boy.)

 

Lost Star:"1...2.."

 

Doug:"You have to be kidding me!"

 

(Charon jumps to his feet as Ezekiel gets up as well. Both men charge in and land a double clothesline. It looks as though Charon gets the worst of it, since Ezekiel is already rolling up on to his hands and knees. Ezekiel gets to his feet and staggers for the ropes. Charon is slowly getting on to his side and just gets to his hands and knees when Ezekiel runs in and flips over Charon in a victory roll.)

 

Lost Star:"1...2..."

 

(Ezekiel gets to his feet and pulls Charon up. Charon drives a thrust into Ezekiel's throat before pulling him down in a small package.)

 

Lost Star:"1...2.."

 

Mark:"Aaaahhhh! I can't take much more of this match!"

 

(Charon uses the ropes to pull himself up and he then pulls up Ezekiel with him. Charon steps in for a Russian side leg sweep, but Ezekiel grabs Charon and lands a side slam. Both men roll from each other, but Ezekiel is at the ropes and pulling himself up with them. Ezekiel comes up behind Charon and lands an inverted DDT. Ezekiel falls backards, too tired to try and make a cover. Robert is cheering for Ezekiel at ringside, begging him to get up. Ezekiel crawls once again for the ropes and reaches for the top rope. He tugs himself up and looks to see Charon doing the same. Ezekiel lets out a wail and rushes in at Charon, but Charon ducks out of the way, and Ezekiel slams into the ropes ackwardly. This gives Charon just enough time to grab Ezekiel and slam him to the mat with a belly to belly suplex. Charon pulls Ezekiel up and lands a piledriver. Charon goes for the cover, but realizes that Ezekiel is too close to the ropes. Charon gets to his feet and leans forward, resting on his knees for a moment. Charon then grabs Ezekiel and pulls him up, and whips him into the ropes. Ezekiel runs back but stops short and grabs Charon.)

 

Doug:"Is this it?!"

 

Mark:"He didn't get out of this one!"

 

Tracy:"Zeke just hit Final Judgement! And they are in the center of the ring!"

 

(Ezekiel crashes hard on to Charon and grabs his leg, curling it for all he is worth.)

 

Lost Star:"1...2...3!!!"

 

(Robert jumps on to the ring apron and then jumps in the ring as Lost Star hands the title to Ezekiel. Robert grabs Zeke's arm and raises it as Lost Star grabs the other to do the same. The crowd goes crazy as Charon leaves the ring in disgust!)

 

Mark:"We have a new United States champion! The First Wave has drawn first blood!"

 

Doug:"I guess they do mean business!"

 

Tracy:"And they indeed have put their money where their mouth is! Ezekiel is the new IWA United States Champion!" 

 

(The view comes to he announcers again and their pretty faces. Well, Tracy’s pretty face.)

 

Doug: One might mention how many title have changed hands tonight. With the TV title, the Hardcore title, and the US title all in new hands, you’ve got to wonder if the tag team and world title will follow suit.

 

Mark: I don’t know, but it’s pretty amazing how already three fifths of the title have become owners to different people in just one night.

 

Tracy: If I were the Devil Tigers and Greg Koscik, I’d be kissing those belts one last time before they have to come out. You never know who might be taking them away.

 

(“Come out and Play” by the Offspring starts up for apparently no good reason. No one seems to know who’s for and for once there’s some peace and quiet around here. That is, until John Empires comes out. Some people know who he is and some don’t. So he receives a mixed reaction as he gets into the ring and asks for a mic.)

 

Doug: Oh look who it is. It’s John Empires. Anybody remember this guy?

 

Mark: I do. Former TWA Intercontinental champion, one of DownFire’s mystery assailants, all around bad guy.

 

Tracy (nodding): Yup, that’s Empires. Can you believe he was an IWA wreslter?

 

Doug: Well he wasn’t all that good in the IWA, but he sure made a mark for himself in the TWF as the Intercontinental champ.

 

Mark: But he’s still an all around bad guy. Probably talks a lot stupid talk too.

 

Tracy (nodding again): Yup, that’s Empires alright.

 

(After a little bit of arguing on Empires’ part, Andrew Robinson is a little more than reluctant to give a mic to him. So Empires has to go over to Andrew, push him, and take the darn mic away from him. It really wasn’t necessary, but Andrew had to be difficult.)

 

Empires: In the WWF...they have an invasion going on. Well in the IWA...you're going to have an invasion of a different sort, as the next pay per view is for the TWF, in memory of the toughest son of a bitch he ever faced in the ring, Eric Corsair. (John pulls out a piece of paper) This here is a contract. It’s a 30 day contract for any former TWFer to come on into the IWA and partake in what I’ll call “Hell’s Dinner Party”. But unfortunately, Christoph rejected my idea and called it Countdown. It’s a one time shot. If you ask me, I couldn’t care less who takes this deal up and who doesn’t. IT could be just me and I’d be happy and content. You want to know why? Because I’m going to get what I’ve been wanting for over a year now.

 

(Empires turns and points to the owner’s box where Christoph is.)

 

Empires: When the TWF shut its doors, I was primed and ready for a world title shot with Christoph and take that stupid smile off his face and that title away from him. But I was never able to! I followed Christoph to the indy circuit, but I got an bad leg injury before I got a shot. So I came here, to the IWA, and did a little announcing work. That lasted as long as it took to get his leg heeled and that was too long as it was. I quit and got back on the road. Unfortunately, by that time, Christoph took his lazy ass and sat it in a desk job in the IWA! Boy was I pissed. So I, John Empires, wants to see if Christoph still has the ability to actually climb in the ring and face me. I’m challenging Christoph right now for the TWF World Heavyweight Championship at Countdown, in the main event!

 

(Empires looks up to Christoph who's watching the whole thing)

 

Empires: Well? What's your answer.

 

(Christoph then opens up the window of the owner's box, and is actually handed a mic from someone. Christoph has a little smile on his face)

 

Christoph: John, I would be more than happy to.

 

(The crowd goes wild at this as John throws the mic back to Andrew, and leaves.)

 

Mark -  Well!  It looks like we already have our main event set up for Countdown already!

Doug - And that will be quite a match, both men coming back to settle the issue from their past.

Tracy - No time to talk about that now though.  The Next Match is Devil Tigers vs. Deathwish for the Tag Team titles!

Robinson - This match is for the IWA Tag Team Titles! (Crowd cheers) Coming first, the challengers.  At a combined weight of 368 pounds, Isthak and Painkiller Jane... Deathwish!

("Action Junkie" comes blaring on as Jane and Isthak run out through the curtain and down the ring.  They are surprised to actually here some cheers coming their way, but run down the ramp nonetheless, sliding into the ring and walking to the corner as they await their opponents.)

Robinson - And now, the champions, accompanied by Cienna, at a combined weight of 477 pounds, Archon and Encubus... The Devil-Tigers!

(The Crowd is already booing, before "Local Gods" by Everclear plays and The Devil-Tigers make their way out the entrance.  They taunt the crowd as they are going to the ring)

Tracy - They seem awfully cocky at this point, and it could be their only weakness.

Doug - And who can blame them?  They have yet to meet opponents who can beat them.

Mark - Exactly.  The Devil-Tigers have proven a lot since changing their attitudes, and in my book, they're the best tag team in IWA history.

 

 

(The Devil-Tigers slide in and Deathwish get right to work. Painkiller Jane hits Archon with various kicks, and Isthak nails Encubus with punches.  Archon quickly counters with a series of punches and a beat head, but Pete Henderson soon gets things under control sending Encubus to the corner along with Isthak.  Archon and Jane in the ring now, and Archon is in control.  He throws Jane into the ropes and hits a quick clothesline.  First tag of the match, from Archon to Encubus, and they immediately double team Jane with punches and kicks.  Encubus sends Jane to the corner now, and runs after her with an elbow, but she gets out of the way in time and hits a bulldog to the dazed Encubus.  She puts the boots to his sternum and drags him to her corner for the tag.  Deathwish throw Encubus to the ropes and hit a double clothesline. Isthak in with Encubus now, as Isthak goes for a sharp clothesline, but is countered with a reverse neckbreaker.  Both wrestlers on the mat now.)

Mark - Deathwish are quick to get to work.  But Pete settles things down and here we go.

Doug - Deathwish are actually doing pretty good in this match.  They should definitely not be counted out.

Tracy - Against anyone else, I'd agree with you Doug. But the Devil-Tigers always seem to get the win, no matter how close it looks.  Although it looks like Encubus should make a tag, sooner rather than later.

(And that he does, as Archon comes running in and hits a quick DDT on Isthak.  He goes down to her and taunts her to her face, and applies a quick choke hold but Henderson breaks it up rather quickly.  Encubus now taunts the crowd, and runs back to hit a clothesline on Isthak.  He throws her to the corner, and makes the tag.  Archon continues the assault with a series of kicks he throws her to the ropes, but misses the clothesline as she runs back, Isthak quickly takes advantages of the situation and hits a spinning heel kick.  She has the advantage now, and hits a quick scoop slam followed by an elbow.  Now Isthak goes for the tag, and Jane goes to the top rope, hitting a martial arts style kick on Archon.  She quickly makes another tag and Deathwish goes for double DDT.  Isthak in with Archon now, and Isthak hits a snap suplex on Archon and goes for an arm bar.)

Mark - So far,  Deathwish has looked very impressive.

Doug - Absolutely, perhaps they aren't the underdogs we thought them to be.

Tracy - Well, it isn't quite over yet, it looks like these teams have quite the match going though.

(Isthak still in control, as she continues with kicks and reverse DDT.  Isthak hits a quick karate kick and a German suplex before she tags in Jane again.  Jane sends Archon to the corner, and runs after him hitting the forearm to the face.  Still in the corner, she steps on the second rope and continually punches Archon, as Pete counts.  Before Henderson can get to 10, however, Archon violently pushes Jane off and causes her to fall.  Archon quickly climbs the ropes, and hits a flying lariat from the top rope on Jane. Both wrestlers are now down as Pete begins to count. He reaches 7 before Archon is up and dives to tag his partner, Encubus.  Encubus storms in not wasting anytime to capitalize on the advantage.  He hooks the arms of Jane and flings her up, he back landing hard on the mat.  Isthak wastes no time and runs in, ignoring Pete Henderson's orders, hitting a spear. She sends him to the ropes rapidly and sets up with Jane for a double team, but Encubus counters with an emphatic Double DDT.  He is quick to get up, throwing Jane out of the ring, but turns around to meet Isthak's foot against his face.  This knocks him down, hard, and Isthak has a clear advantage.   She lifts Encubus up, and gives him the Chainbreaker.  Archon breaks it up, but not before some serious damage is done.)

Mark - Jane has to learn not to taunt a talented wrestler like Archon the way she just did.

Doug - Well, she paid for it, big, but here comes Isthak, ignoring Pete's pleas for control.

Tracy - But... WOW!  What a kick! And, now the Chainbreaker!

Mark - We could have had new tag team champs if Archon wasn't there to break it up.  Deathwish are showing they are worthy to be in the ring here tonight with the tag team champions!

(Archon grabs Isthak, and some fans can hear him yell in her face "No More Games!"  He throws her against the ropes violently slamming her with an elbow.  He shoves her into the corner, followed by some body blows.  He goes for Beath of the Defiled and hits it! The match is as good as over.  Peter Henderson counts: 1....2... But Jane, still on the outside of the ring pulls the ref out and hits him with a DDT. She slides in herself hittin a quick snap suplex on Archon and a leg drop on top of it.  Jane flies to the ropes, hitting a springboard moonsault, but Pete is still out of the ring.  She raises Archon up, and hits The Killing Joke.  This time, she slides to the outside, trying to wake up Pete.  She tries but fails and slides back in the ring still kicking Archon.  By now, Encubus has gotten up, and he runs at Jane.  Before she knows it, she gets hit with a Lou Thesz Press and several punches.  Encubus continues the assault on both members of Deathwish with kicks.  Archon is now slowly getting up, and things aren't looking good for Jane and Isthak.)

Doug - Archon hit the Beath of the Defiled!  This one's over.

Mark - No, wait, Jane pulled Pete out of the ring.  We aren't through yet.  And Jane hit Pete with a DDT!

Tracy - It looks like that was a dumb move by Painkiller Jane, she could have the match won!

Doug - And now here's Encubus, he has gained control of this match for the Devil-Tigers

(With both Jane and Isthak down, it seems to be only a matter of time till Devil Tigers retain.  Encubus is beating on Deathwish and Archon is finally up again. They pick up Isthak, and nail her with a huge double clothesline.  Than, they pick up Painkiller Jane hit Suffering Bastard on her.  Deathwish are down and out, and Devil Tigers just continue to kick and punch them.  Than, out of nowhere, Mace and Dagger, The Weapons of War, jump over the guardrail and slide into the ring attacking Encubus and Archon.  The two teams go at it, but the tired Devil Tigers don't stand a chance, and Mace quickly hit them with a spine buster, and Dagger hits an X-Factor style face buster.  Dagger climbs the ropes, and as Encubus gets up, he hits him with an Ax Kick from the top rope!  At the same time, Mace throws Archon against the ropes, and goes for a Somoan Drop, into a neckbreaker, after which, he throws Archon out of the ring.  They look around at the crowd cheering wildly and point to Encubus.  The crows cheers even louder, and Mace sets him up for the Final Fall formerly known as Face Smash.  Mace has Encubus in position for the electric chair drop, and sends him down to meet Dagger with an X-Factor.  Dagger and Mace run from the ring, making motions to the crowd as they run up the ramp.  In the match now, Pete is coming to, and Isthak rolls over Encubus for 1.... 2.... 3! Deathwish are our new tag team champions!)

Mark - Well, it's just a matter of time before Devil-Tigers win this thing.

Doug - Wait a minute!  It's former Tag Team Champions the Weapons of War!

Tracy - They just annihilated the Devil Tigers! Face Smash on Encubus!

Mark - Isthak has Encubus pinned!  It's over!  We have New Tag Team Champions!  I t looks like Deathwish proved us all wrong.

Doug - Yeah, with a little help from the Weapons of War.

[The camera goes to the parking lot, where Rich Stewart catches up with Weapons of War, who are psyched about having returned.]

 Rick Martin: Weapons of War, Weapons of War... what made you decide to come back and attack the Devil Tigers in a title match!

Mace: Rick Martin, Devil Tigers, and all our loyal fans, we're back!  (loud cheer)  You want to know why we did what we just did?  It's because we are Sick and tired of hearing all about the Devil Tigers and how great they are.  Ha!  We just floored them, and Hell, 2 Damn Good never beat us anyway... so what makes anyone think the Devil Tigers are any different?

Dagger: Damn right Mace, that’s why we're here.  We're back and we're read to take out the Devil Tigers or any other tag team that steps in our way.  We're the new and improved Weapons of War... and things aren't going to look very pretty for everyone else.  Archon... Encubus... it's on.
 

Robinson: The following match is scheduled for one fall and is for the World Heavyweight title. Coming to the ring first the challenger. From parts unknown

Weighing in at 275lbs and standing at 6’2”. This is Man of WAR!!!!!

[“Thunderstruck" by AC/DC plays as MOW Simply walks slowly towards the ring with arms at his sides looking back and forth at fans on the aisle.  Enters the ring using the stairs.  Stands in the middle of the ring and raises his left fist, ala Undertaker, but then quickly drops to a knee and pounds the fist into the mat.]

Robinson: and his opponent, the World Heavyweight champion. His weight and height are still unknown to us but he do know that he is from Cleveland, Ohio. This is Twisted Justice Gregg Koscik!

[“Wargasm” by L7 plays as the lights go out as thunder and lightning effects permeate the air. A blue-black light floods the arena. A long, high-pitched note plays, accompanied by a fiendish cackle from Koscik, which ends when he says the words "Dance with the Devil." On the jumbotron, appropriate footage of a view looking up from downtown Cleveland at a raging thunderstorm plays during the thunder and lightning effects, then, during Koscik's laugh and speech, a split screen image is shown. On one side, the good mood Koscik is smiling and doing a double-point at the camera, and on the other, Koscik's bad side is looking deadly serious. Just as the voice finishes saying "Dance with the Devil," both Koscik's remove their sunglasses, and the green from their eyes fills up the jumbotron screen, as a pyro explosion rocks the house and a green light floods the entire arena. The music hits, and so does the next part of Koscik's Tron video. Footage of images such as raging fires, car accidents!, World War II Holocaust victims, tanks rolling through foreign streets, teenagers crying and running at Colombine, images from the "Faces of Death" films, and other such atrocities are alternated with scenes from such films as the Wizard of Oz, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, Mary Poppins, Sleeping Beauty, Alice in Wonderland, Annie, the Little Mermaid, Miracle on 34th Street, and the like. Koscik emerges, dressed in a hooded black robe that covers his eyes--he's wearing sunglasses, anyway--and he marches down to the ring, accompanied by one or more members of his Cult of Personality, and always by the Weird Sisters. Hate stands directly behind him, with Scorch to her right and Vanity to her left. Along the way, Koscik might point out a few loyal Koscikites, or mock something worth mocking. When he hits the ring, he stands in the middle of the ring and faces the camera, while Hate stands behind him and crosses her arms, and Scorch and Vanity drop to their knees. Koscik pulls down his hood, and, almost like Triple H with the water, except TJGK's hands are in the sign of the Devil, Koscik spits a stream of fire into the air. Then Hate takes off his robe and heads out to ringside with the others as Koscik gets ready to wrestle.]

Doug: How many times are we going to see this match go to the floor?

Tracy: Maybe three or four. They seem to be pulling out all the stops in this.

Tracy – What? What does that have to do with anything.

Mark: Let’s just watch the match.

Mark – why is this match still going on? Koscik hits MOW with a chair and should have gotten Dqed. .

Tracy: Well I guess that Dean didn’t want such a good match to end with a dq. So he is letting it go.

Dean: 1,2….

[MOW kicks out right before Dean’s hand went down for three. Koscik looks shocked.]

Tracy: What the hell! He kicked out of the Riot Breaker!

Mark: I don’t think we’ve ever seen anybody kick out of that move before.

Doug: Well it’s happened tonight and the World Champion has to find some other way to put MOW away if he wants to retain his title.

[Koscik picks MOW up and drops him with a clothesline. He follows up with a couple of quick elbow drops. But doesn’t go for the pin. He picks MOW up again and goes for the Riot Breaker one more time, but this time he puts his feet on the rope for extra leverage. ]

Tracy: What is he doing?

Mark: He is using the ropes for extra leverage in the pin and Dean can’t see a damn thing.

Dean: 1,2,3!!!

Tracy: Well Greg Koscik is still the World Champion, but he had to do some underhanded things to keep the title.

Mark: You have to wonder if MOW could have kicked out of the second Riot Breaker if Koscik didn’t use the ropes?

Doug: Well I guess we’ll never know now. I just wish that Dean had a better view of what was going on so he didn’t count the pin.

[Koscik leaves with the World title and his buddies as the camera goes to what appears to be an equipment room. Andrew Robinson is there wrapping up some mics into their cases. He's there alone. Suddenly, there is a shadow that comes over him, and before he can turn around, a lead pipe cracks right across his back, and Andrew drops to the ground, as the show goes off the air.]
