Aired on 6/12/05!  From the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IND!

 

 

 

(The UWA logo blazes across the screen before fading into darkness.  Then, the opening video and theme song for High Voltage begin to play on screen before we’re taken out to the arena in Indianapolis, where Mike Tenay and Amy Dumas appear before the live crowd.  In the background, “Hot Commodity’s music can be heard as the duo makes their way to the ring)

 

MT: Just 7 days away from Maximum Carnage, and things in the UWA just seem to be getting hotter and hotter.  Mike Tenay here alongside Amy Dumas, and what a night we have in store for you on High Voltage!

 

AD: That’s right!  As we get closer and closer to that huge battle for the Commissionership at the PPV, Steve Corino’s been throwing all sorts of obstacles into the path of the Champion of Champions!  His goal, it seems, is to make sure that Panther isn’t 100% for their match, and that plan looks to continue tonight as Panther’s forced to do battle with none other than Enygma!

 

MT: That’s right!  A rare treat to see the former Universal Champion here on Voltage, but we’re seeing it here tonight!  Right now, let’s take you down to the ring for our opening contest!

 

Hot Commodity vs. Chad Collyer and John Walters

 

(Hot Commodity’s music continues to play as we cut to the ring, where the team is posing on the ropes as their opponents look on in the background)

 

Announcer: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a 10-minute time limit!  Introducing first: at a total combined weight of 463 pounds, here is the team of Julio Dinero and EZ Money: HOT COMMODITY!!!!!

 

(The crowd boos in the background as the heel team continues to play to them.)

 

Announcer: And their opponents: at a total combined weight of 443 pounds, here are JOHN WALTERS and CHAD COLLYER!!!!

 

(Little reaction for the opposing team as they’re announced.  Meanwhile, Hot Commodity hands their entrance gear over to the ringside attendants as referee Doug Peterson calls for the bell)

 

Ding Ding Ding!!!

 

MT:  There’s the bell and we’re underway with Tag Team action.  The team of Hot Commodity going up against the upstart duo of Chad Collyer and John Walters!  We’ve seen some good things from these two newcomers in the past few weeks, taking the likes of Simon and Swinger to the limit…as we start off here with Walters and Dinero...collar and elbow tie-up starts us off…Dinero comes away with the headlock!  Walters now…looking for a way of escape…whoa!  Into the ropes goes Dinero…he comes off with a shoulderblock!  Walters sent straight to the mat, and…C’MON!

 

AD: A little bit of showboating on the part of Dinero!

MT: Dinero and EZ Money making light of their opponents here…Walters isn’t too happy about that, as these two now…looking for the tie-up again!  Dinero and Walters…Dinero with the go-behind into the waistlock…standing switch by Walters…HE CATCHES AN ELBOW RIGHT TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD FROM DINERO!!! Walters…

AD: He may be knocked loopy after that one, Mike…WHOA!

MT: Well clearly, not loopy enough, as Walters manages to score with an armdrag! Another sends Dinero straight to the mat!  Dinero now…back to his feet, but he’s met with a chop from Walters!! Another…

AD: Watch EZ Money…

MT: Walter—OH!!!  WALTERS SAW HIM COMING!!!  EZ Money tried to attack from behind!  Walters able to sidestep him and send him colliding into his own partner, as Collyer now…the tag’s been made…watch Walters…

AD: OH!!!

MT: Walters able to slingshot his partner from the apron, and Collyer scores with the double clothesline on Hot Commodity!  Both EZ Money and Julio Dinero are in trouble as the official tries to escort EZ Money from the ring!  Collyer now with Dinero here…winding up on the arm…

AD: And ya know, Mike, I’ve gotta say that these two—Collyer and Walters—look more and more impressive everytime they come out here!  I see big things for them in the future!

MT: And I agree, Amy, as Dinero tries to combat this wristlock!  Both Collyer and Walters are excellent technical wrestlers…Collyer having been trained by the famous Malenko family, which shows his credentials, as Dinero—

AD: Nice move!

MT: Looking for the roll-through, Collyer had it scouted!  Watch this now…Dinero with the fireman’s carry takeover…Collyer still manages to hold onto the wrist, and you can see the frustration beginning to grow, Amy!  Things not going Dinero’s way here in the early going as…what’s this now…

AD: Hey…

MT: Dinero using the hair to bring Collyer into the ropes…Collyer still with hold of the arm as the official tries to force a break…wait a minute now!  Dinero shoots Collyer into the ro—OH C’MON!!! EZ MONEY FROM THE APRON WITH A KNEE TO THE BACK OF COLLYER!!  Hot Commodity using illegal tactics to try and gain the advanta—OH!!!!

AD: What a shot from Collyer!!!

MT: AND DOWN GOES EZ MONEY!!!! EZ Money gets sent to the floor!!! Dinero now…he charges, but misses with a clothesline…COLLYER WITH ONE OF HIS OWN SENDS HIM OVER THE TOP! Both members of Hot Commodity are down on the arena floor!  Things not going their way, as Collyer and Walter—

AD: Wait a minute…

MT: Walters into the ring…watch this now…Hot Commodity on the outside and—OH MY!!!! STEREO PESCADO BY WALTERS AND COLLYER…AND YOU CAN HEAR THE RESPONSE OF THIS CROWD!

AD: That’s right!  Walters and Collyer certainly making an impression on the fans here at High Voltage, as I think they’ve really got Hot Commodity’s number!

MT: What a feather in the cap it could be for those two as—WAIT A MINUTE!!!

AD: WHAT IN THE WORLD…

MT: IT’S…IT’S…IT’S THOSE MEN FROM FNS!!! THOSE SAME MEN THAT LAID OUT PSYKO STEVO AND LANCE SILVA!!!  WHAT THE HELL—

AD: AND THEY’RE ATTACKING BOTH TEAMS!!!

MT: Both Collyer and Walters and Hot Commodity are being wailed upon by these two huge men—OH!!!  DINERO JUST SENT CRASHING INTO THE POST!!!!  EZ MONEY SENT CRASHING INTO THE BARRICADE!!! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ALL ABOUT!

AD: I dunno…but look at the stage…

MT: Oh…that’s Desires!!! Darkest Desires looking on from the stage as these two teams are decimated out here…they’ve got Collyer and Walters in the ring…c’mon, now!!!  C’mon…

AD: DAMN!!

MT: POWERBOMB ON WALTERS…HIS NECK WAS JUST FOLDED UP LIKE A BOOK…AND THERE’S A BIG CHOKESLAM TO COLLYER!!!  This young team of Collyer and Walter being destroyed in the ring, and look at the smile on Desires’ face…these fans…my God Amy!

AD: I dunno what to say…look at these guys…

MT: We’ve got officials out here to try and get thing in control…as Collyer and Walters…LOOK AT THIS…these two men with Collyer and Walters pressed high above their head…oh!!! And look at that…

AD: He just tossed them like yesterday’s garbage!!!

MT: Collyer and Walters down on the outside…these fans aren’t happy about tha—OH!!!  REFEREE PETERSON JUST GOT NAILED WITH A BIG MAFIA KICK!!!!

AD: HE TOOK HIS HEAD OFF!!!!

MT: ALL participants of this match have been laid out, and what on earth is this all about?!  What was the meaning of that?!

(The crowd boos in the background as officials try to get the two unknown men under control.  Meanwhile, Darkest Desires climbs the ring stairs and enters the ring with the microphone.  She’s got a devilish grin on her face as she turns to the hard camera and begins to speak)

Desires: I suppose you people are looking for answers, am I right?!  (giggles) Well it’s like they say, deary: hell hath NO fury like the wrath of a woman!  And my wrath…my wrath comes in form of my mighty Athame…Bane…and Seven!!!

(The crowd boos some more in the background as Desires shows off the two men, who are apparently her new backup)

Desires: Now what you people just witnessed was a message…a message to Lance Silva (mixed reaction)…and ANYONE in the UWA who dares to cross my path!!  You see…dark days are on the horizon, and there’s one thing that I can guarantee: BLOOD…WILL…SPILL!!!!!

(Dark laughs sinisterly as “The Way You Like It” by Adema hits the PA system.  The arena goes black and a purple hue falls over the ring as the trio prepares to make their exit)

AD: “Blood will spill”?  What does that mean?

MT: I dunno, Amy!  Nevertheless, Darkest Desires and these two monster…Bane and Seven…her Athame is what I think she called them…whatever that means! But a scene eerily similar to what we saw Friday Night on the Slam as these two men have just laid out both teams!  Desires continuing to unleash her anger after the falling out she had with Lance Silva recently…man!  What a way to kick off High Voltage, and there’s still more to come! As we mentioned at the top of the show, the Champion of Champions will be here in action as Panther does battle with none other than Enygma, but when we return, more action as Michael Shane of the Trilogy locks up with the former Light Heavyweight Champion, Nova! Don’t go away!

UWA Rewind

IHG (6/7/05):

RS: Ice Cube and J-Dogg going at it on the floo—OH GOD!! IT’S VADER!!!  THE MASTADON IS ASSAULTING J-DOGG ON THE FLOOR…OH NO!!! BIG SPLASH ON J-DOGG!!! J-DOGG HAS JUST BEEN FLATTENED!!!

(When the rewind ends, we’re taken to footage from the 6/10 FNS, as “J-Dogg” Johnny Gunn is in the ring with a mic)

MT: Well fans, we just saw the scene from this past Tuesday night on Gear, as “J-Dogg” Johnny Gunn was once again the victim of an assault by the Man They Call Vader!!!  Vader has been a thorn in J-Dogg’s side since his return to the UWA at January’s Total Annihilation PPV, and last night on the Slam, J-Dogg was in the house to let us know that he’s had enough!

(We flash to footage of later footage, with Gunn still in the ring now going face to face with Francine)

Francine: So what you’re saying is that you want another piece of Vader?!  After all the beatings he’s laid on you!  After he’s taken you out with ease time and time again, you mean to tell me that you want another piece of Vader?!

J-Dogg: What I’m saying is that I’ve had it up to *here* with that fat piece of sh*t!  (crowd pops)  What I’m saying is that I’m sick of all the sneak attacks!  I’m sick of the backfighting!! I’m sick to f*cking death of Vader, and I wanna end this sh*t between the two of us once and for all!

Francine: Well you need to be careful, J-Dogg, because if you’re not, the only thing you’re gonna wind up ending is your career!

(The crowd boos in the background as J-Dogg glares intensely at Francine)

J-Dogg: Is that right?

Francine: Damn right it is!

J-Dogg: Well if risking my career is what it takes to get rid of that fat piece of trash Vader, then that’s exactly what I’ll do!  Ya know…HELL!  We can even put it in writing!

Francine: What are you saying?!

J-Dogg: What I’m saying is that I want a piece of Vader’s ass, and if by some chance that I can’t beat him 1-2-3 in the middle of this ring, then I will leave the UWA once and for all, because I don’t deserve to be here! Whaddya say to that?!

Francine: What do I say?!  Are you kidding me?!  This has been just the opportunity I’ve been waiting for for the past year!  You’re damn right I’m gonna accept that challenge…

J-Dogg: Wait, wait! Let’s not get so ansy, Francy, because ya see, if I can’t pin Vader, I will leave the UWA…but if I can…then he’s gone! His career in the UWA is OVER!

VJ: Oh my goodness!  It looks as if we may have a career match on our hands, here!

(We flash to later in the interview, as J-Dogg awaits Francine’s answer…suddenly—

*SLAP*

(Francine winds back and SLAPS THE FACE of her former charge.  J-Dogg’s eyes open wide with rage)

VJ: Uh oh!

DD: Francine, get away!

VJ: J-Dogg…we’ve seen him put his hands on Francine before…

DD: Yeah, the no good brute! Leave her alone!

VJ: Francine just slapped J-Dogg…Gunn now advancing on Francine—OH!  She tried it again!  Francine tried it again and got caught…

DD: Unhand her, you fiend!  Unhand her…AHH—

VJ: OH NO IT’S VADER AGAIN!!!

DD: HAHA!  What an idiot!

VJ: Vader once again attacking J-Dogg from behind!!  J-Dogg is down as Vader…watch him here…

DD: Here we go…NO!

VJ: He moved…this time Vader was unable to connect with the splash, and watch Gunn now…off the ropes with a dropkick right to the head of the Man they Call Vader!

DD: Oh no, Vince!

VJ: Another blind side attack by Vader, but this one appears to have backfired, as Gunn has Vader now…hammering away with right hands…big right hands…NOW BITING HIM!

DD: What a savage, Johnson!  What a no good savage!

VJ: Gunn now measuring him for something…what could J-Dogg have in store as—FRANCINE…

DD: Look out—

VJ: OH…LOW BLOW BY FRANCINE…SON OF A—

DD: HAHA!

VJ: J-Dogg is down…and now watch Vader…Vader has J-Dogg…POWERBOMB!!!! GUNN JUST FOLDED UP WITH THAT DEVASTATING POWERBOMB!!!

DD: He broke is back!

VJ: J-Dogg is down and out at the hands of Francine and Vader….

Francine: Be careful what you wish for, J-Dogg…because you’ve got it!  Kiss your career goodbye!

(Vader’s theme music begins to play as Francine blows a kiss to the fallen Gunn.  Suddenly, we flash to a promo graphic for the ensuing match)

MT: And now, fans, it’s settled!  In one week’s time at Maximum Carnage, “J-Dogg” Johnny Gunn will do battle with the one and only Vader in a Loser Leaves match!  The loser of this match will no longer be able to appear in the Universal Wrestling Association!  Will J-Dogg finally be able to exorcise his demon that is the 450-pound Mastadon, or will Vader finally succeed in doing what Francine’s been working towards for the better part of a year, and that’s rid the UWA of its first ever Universal Champion!   We’ll find out on Pay-Per-View!

Michael Shane vs Nova

(The Trilogy’s theme music is playing over the PA system as Michael Shane heads down the ramp to ringside.  He takes the time to jaw with a few fans in the front row along the way)

Announcer: The following contest is set for one fall with a 10-minute time limit!  Currently entering the ring, hailing from San Antonio, TX, weighing in tonight at 220 pounds, here is Trilogy representative…MICHAEL…SHAAAAANE!!!

(Shane enters the ring and throws up 3 fingers to symbolize the Trilogy!  His music then dies down, and “Intergalactic” by the Beastie Boys begins to play!  The crowd cheers wildly as Nova appears from the locker room and steps out onto the stage)

Announcer: And his opponent, hailing from Toms River, NJ, weighing in at 218 pounds: NOOOOVVAAAAA!

(The cheers continue as Nova slides into the ring and runs over to the far corner, where he climbs upon the buckles and poses for the capacity crowd.  His music soon dies down and referee Alan Cooper calls for the bell)

Ding Ding Ding!!!

MT: The bell has sounded and here we go with singles action!  Nova locking up with the Trilogy’s Michael Shane!  As usual, a 10 minute time limit in this one as these two men square off…Shane and Nova...there’s the lock up…Shane comes away with the headlock here!  Michael Shane with the early advantage as—look out, now!  Nova sends him into the ropes—AND BRINGS HIM OVER WITH A BIG HIP TOSS!!!  Shane right back to his feet—AND GETS TAKEN RIGHT BACK DOWN WITH THE ARM DRAG!!! Nova now…cinching up on the arm!  Textbook version of an armbar here, as he is solidly in control!

AD: Yeah, he may be for now, but as always, whenever he’s around you’ve gotta be on the look out for the rest of the Trilogy!  They’ve been known to have each others backs, Tenay!

MT: That’s for sure, as Shane tries to combat this hold…Michael Shane manages to work his way back to his feet...now driving Nova into the buckle!  Referee Cooper calling for the break here…

AD: Will it be a clean one…?

MT: …OH!!! SHANE TRIED A KNIFE EDGE CHOP, BUT CAUGHT A RIGHT HAND FOR HIS TROUBLES FROM NOVA!!! Nova able to duck a second chop, and SHANE GETS DROPPED BY ANOTHER RIGHT HAND!! Shane back to his feet and he tastes another right…and another!  Irish whip in by Nova…Nova looking for slam, but Shane goes up over the back, and now drives Nova into the ropes…Nova hooks the ropes to block the roll up attempt…

AD: But watch Shane—

MT: WHOA!!! He gets sent over the top courtesy of a back drop from Nova!

AD: Unbelievable height on the back drop too!  His name is Nova, but he almost sent Shane into orbit!

MT: That’s for sure, and Shane is not happy on the outside!  In fact, Shane is absolutely livid!

AD: But he can’t lose his concentration!  He’s gotta keep his head, especially when he’s in there with the likes of someone like Nova!

MT: Shane trying to re-enter the ring here, but watch Nova…Nova looking for the baseball slide—BUT MISSES…AND GETS NAILED BY A BIG LARIAT FROM MICHAEL SHANE!!!!  Shane now…stomping the hell outta Nova now in front of us…now strangling the life outta him on the arena floor…

AD: He’s lost it, Mike!

MT: You may be right about that!  Michael Shane…this crowd doesn’t like it a bit as Shane…Shane with a chair here…and that’s gonna prompt referee Alan Cooper to step in!  Shane has gotta keep his temper if he expects to come away from this thing!

AD: Yeah, that’s exactly right!  I mean, Nova’s a former Light Heavyweight Champion!  Shane’s never had a title here in the UWA…really hasn’t been in any major contention, so he especially can’t afford to throw a match away with such a stupid move!  He’s gotta think, Tenay!

MT: I agree with you there as the official seems to have gotten into the head of Shane! Making him see the error of his ways, as now he follows Nova back into the ring!  Michael Sha—OH!  Soccer kick deep into the gut of Nova…AND ANOTHER ONE!  Shane absolutely putting the hurt on Nova as now he brings him back to a vertical base…NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX TAKES HIM OVER!!! THERE’S THE BRIDGE…2…NO! Nova able to kickout!  Shane now with Nova here…hard Irish whip sends him into the buckle…Shane catches him on the rebound with an overhead belly-to-belly! Shane with a quick cover…he gets a count of two, but he’s unable to hold him for the three there, as now Shane…he cinches up on this abdominal stretch here!!! A seated version of the hold by Shane!! Nova…you can see the look of pain on his face as Shane wrenches back here…

AD: Exactly!  And ya know, all the talk we’re doing about Nova…take nothing away from Shane!

MT: Well you can’t!  You can’t afford to overlook anyone here in the UWA, as this crowd now tries to get behind Nova!  Nova…Nova using the knees to try and get out of this…nailing Shane right on the side of the head—BUT LOOK AT SHANE FIRE BACK WITH THOSE HARD SHOTS!!! HARD RIGHT HAND SHOTS TO THE GUT…and the hold is broken!  Michael Shane still in control of this one as now he has Nova…

AD: …he’s looking for a piledriver here…

MT: But it’s blocked!  Nova managing to shift his weight to counter…Shane doing what he can—BUT NOVA MANAGES TO COUNTER OUT WITH A BACK DROP!!! A back drop by Nova!  Shane gets to his feet, but a clothesline puts him back on the canvas!  Shane’s up again but he gets dropped with another!!! Nova now…measuring him again…he charges in…Shane able to sidestep him and send him over the top, but look at Nova here!!! Nova able to hang on…

AD: Shane doesn’t see him!

MT: Michael Shane showboating for this capacity crowd as Nova…to the top rope he goes…Shane…

AD: Now he sees him…

MT: AND NOW HE DON’T!!!! SHANE JUST GOT HIS LIGHTS TURNED OUT WITH A MISSILE DROPKICK…COVER BY NOVA…HE GETS 2…OH!!!! Shane able to get the shoulder up at the last second!  How close do ya get!

AD: Shane had better hope that’s the closest he does get!  Look at this …

MT: Nova now…perhaps looking for Novacaine—NO!  Shane counters with the elbow!  Irish whip attempt now sends Nova to the buckle…Shane charges in—AND GETS MET WITH A BOOT FROM NOVA!!!  And now watch Nova here…to the middle rope he goes…he’s got Shane hooked…

AD: Here we go…

MT: KRYPTONITE DUST!!!! Nova just nailed Krytonite Dust!  He makes the cover…he gets 2…and—OH!

AD: Foot on the rope!

MT: Nova just a little too close to the rope…

AD: But ya gotta give credit to Shane on that one!  I thought he coulda be knocked out there!

MT: Nova thought he had him, and now it looks as if he may be going for the kill here!  Yes…Kryptonite Krunch coming up…

AD: Look in the aisle—

MT: Oh wait a second…that’s Shocker and Xavier!

AD: And this is just what we were talking about before the match!  It’s that Trilogy advantage coming into play…

MT: HEY WAIT A SECOND!!! SHANE ABLE TO SLIP FREE INTO A SUNSET FLIP POSITION…shoulders down here…1…2…NO!!! Nova able to kick out—

*WHAM*

AD: SWEET SHANE MUSIC!!!!

MT: ON THE MONEY!!!! 1…2…THREEE—NO!!! HE KICKED OUT AGAIN!!!  HE KICKED OUT AGAIN!!!! AND SHANE CAN’T BELIEVE IT!

AD: I’m not sure *I* believe it!  He connected with that one!

MT: Wait a second…we’ve got Xavier on the apron protesting the count…Shane now with Nova…scoop up and a sla—NO!!! INSIDE CRADLE BY NOVA…THE REFEREE OUTTA POSITION…

AD: THAT’S A THREE…

MT: Oh c’mon…Xavier’s got the ref’s attention…finally he sees it, but it’s too little, too late for Nova, as now Shane pounds away on his opponent!!!  Man…Nova brought back to his feet as Xavier…

AD: Get him down from the apron…

MT: Xavier signaling something to Shane…there’s the Irish whip—OH!!! Nova with the presence of mind to slide through the legs of Xavier—AND HE YANKS HIM DOWN!!!  XAVIER JUST BOUNCED FACE FIRST OFF THE APRON!!! In comes Shocker now…HE EATS A RIGHT HAND FROM NOVA!!!

AD: Nova’s on fire here, Mike!

MT: That he is as now he climbs to the apron…Michael Shane looking to go on attack, but he gets a shoulder to the gut for his troubles! Shane with the follow-up, and now a slingshot sunset flip from the apron…Shane trying to hold on…

AD: Oh look!

MT: Shane able to drop down onto the shoulders—AND LOOK AT THIS!!!! USING XAVIER FOR LEVERAGE FROM THE OUTSIDE…AND SHANE GETS THE THREE!!! DAMN IT!!!

Ding Ding Ding!!! **Cue Trilogy’s music

Announcer: Here is your winner: MICHAEL SHANE!!!!

MT: Michael Shane picks up the tainted win over Nova…

AD: Tainting is putting it lightly!! Nova just got screwed over by the Trilogy!!

MT: Nova coming out on the losing end, and he can’t believe it…OH C’MON!!! Shocker from behind…putting the boots to Nova!

AD: And it’s typical Trilogy right here, Tenay!  Typical Trilogy!

MT: The numbers game beginning to come to play here in the ring!! We’ve got a 3-on-1 assault against Nova in the ring here…

AD: LOOK!!!

MT: IT’S SPANKY AND LONDON!!!! SPANKY AND LONDON FROM THE BACK, AND NOW THE ODDS HAVE BEEN EVENED!!!!  Spanky and Xavier…down goes Shane at the hands of London!!!  Spanky and London taking the fight to the Trilo—GEEEE!!!!

AD: DROPSAULT!!!!

MT: LONDON NAILED THE DROPSAULT, AND TO THE FLOOR GOES MICHAEL SHANE!!! And now look at the Trilogy…the Trilogy’s getting outta there, Amy!

AD: Yeah!  The odds are even, and suddenly the Trilogy isn’t so tough!

MT: Nonetheless, this one will go down in the record books as a win for Michael Shane!  My goodness!

(Spanky and London hover over the fallen Nova, daring the Trilogy to re-enter the ring and continue the fight.  Their foes decline, however, and feeling discretion’s the better part of valor, the terrorizing trio heads back up the ramp amid the boos of the capacity crowd.  Spanky and London begin to help Nova to his feet.  Suddenly, cameras cut backstage, where we see Enygma seated in a dimly lit room with a green light highlighting the left side of his face. He smiles sinisterly into the camera)

Enygma: PAAAANTHER….OH PAAAAAANTHER?! HEHEHEHE!!!!  Welcome to my domain, PAAANTHER, as tonight, you go face to face with ULTIMATE DESTRUCTION!  Hehe!  You’ve had a long career, Panther, and you’ve had a whole lot of success!  But Panther, never before have you had to face someone with my prowess! Someone who brings to the table what I do!  (chuckles)  I just hope your prepared, Panther, for tonight, the new face of the Universal Wrestling Association is ready to ascend to his throne!  Hehehehe! Hehehehe!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

MT: HE’S SICK!!!

UWA Slam of the Night:

High Voltage (Last Week)

(The scene opens with Lisa Marie Varon holding Alexis Laree in Electric Chair position while Veronica Stevens signals to the crowd from the apron!

MT: The end could be here for Alexis as Veronica now…looking for the Luscious Landing—

AD: WAIT A MINUTE!!!

MT: TRINITY!!! TRINITY CAUGHT THE ANKLE!!!! VERONICA HIT THE FLOOR HARD AS NOW ALEXIS GETS THE VICTORY ROLL!!! ALEXIS…2…YES!!!!

Ding Ding Ding!!! **Cue “Daydreaming Fazes”

Announcer: Here are your winners, the team of Trinity and Alexis Laree!!!!

MT: TRINITY AND ALEXIS HAVE JUST DEFEATED THE WOMEN’S TAG CHAMPS IN A NON-TITLE MATCH!!!!

Alexis Laree vs Lisa Marie Varon

(Purple and red spotlights fill the arena as “All the things she said” by TATU plays over the PA system.  The crowd begins to boo as Lisa Marie Varon steps out onto the stage with her Women’s Tag Title belt raised high in the air and her tag partner Veronica Stevens following closely behind.  They soak up the boos from the crowd before heading down the entrance ramp to the ring)

Announcer: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a 10-minute time limit! Introducing first, from Los Angeles, CA, being accompanied to the ring by Veronica Stevens, she is one half of the UWA Women’s Tag Team Champions, Simply Luscious representative: LISA MARIE VARON!!!

MT: Lisa Marie Varon in singles competition here tonight as she looks to avenge that loss from last week at the hands of Alexis Laree and Trinity!  But ladies and gentlemen, we were informed just prior to going on the air here tonight that that non-title victory from last week was enough to secure a title shot for Alexis and Trinity, and that shot will take place next week LIVE on pay-per-view!

AD: And I can’t wait for that one, Tenay!  Alexis is a good friend of mind!  I have all the respect in the world for her, and I know she’s wanted these tag titles bad!  She’s been chasing them for almost a year, and now with Trinity as her partner, her chances are as good as ever!  And if anybody on the roster deserves that title victory, it’s her, Tenay!

(Now in the ring, the former Victoria warms up in the ring while her tag partner jaw jacks with some fans in the crowd.  Suddenly, their music stops and “Daydreaming Fazes” hits the PA system, bringing the crowd to its feet!  Red lights fill the arena and white strobe lights flash upon the stage as Alexis twirls out from the locker room with her fists held high!  Trinity isn’t far behind, and she gives her partner a pat on the back as they start down the ramp to ringside!

Announcer: And her opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Trinity, hailing from Richmond, VA, this is ALEXIS…LAREEEEEEEE!!!

(Both Laree and Trinity tag the hands of ringside fans before sprinting down the ramp and sliding into the ring! There, they take off into opposite turnbuckle, each woman climbing to the second rope while posing for the crowd.  In the background, Veronica can be seen whispering something to Varon…suddenly, the tandem known as Simply Luscious disperses, Veronica attacking Trinity from behind while Varon does the same to Alexis!!!)

Ding Ding Ding!!!

MT: Hey…the bell has sounded and look what we’ve got going on here!!! This is a singles contest, but we’ve got both members of Simply Luscious on the attack here!  Veronica all over Trinity! Varon doing a number on Alexis, her scheduled opponent!

AD: And referee Jenkins has already lost control of this one, Tenay!

MT: Watch this now! Simply Luscious in opposite turnbuckles signaling for something…there’s a double Irish whip…WHOA! Trinity and Alexis manage to put on the breaks at the last second to avoid the collision…Simply Luscious from behind---

AD: OH!!!

MT: DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE, AND THEY BOTH GO DOWN!!!!  Varon and Veronica…each trying to attack from behind, but Trinity and Alexis both one step ahead, and now look what we’ve got here!  Double dropkick sends Simply Luscious into the ropes!  Alexis and Trinity now…stereo Irish whips…STEREO BACK DROPS SEND THE CHAMPIONS FOR THE RIDE!!!  Varon and Veronica…they’re in a whole world of hurt as they try to gather themselves along the ropes…in come Alexis and Trinity—

AD: Oh!

MT: A double boot send them straight to the outside!!!  The tag champs in a whole heap of trouble and if that happens next week, Amy, they may cough up those belts!

AD: You’re exactly right, Tenay!  And—

MT: Wait a minute!  What’s Trinity doing?!

AD: I dunno, but we might as well have the tag match here! These girls don’t wanna wait for Carnage!

MT: Trinity on the top rope…Simply Luscious trying to come to on the outside and—OH MY GOD!!!

(HUGE chants of “Holy Shit, Holy Shit” break out across the arena)

AD: Tell me I didn’t just see that!

MT: Trinity with a moonsault from the top rope and onto Simply Luscious!

AD: These girls may not make it to PPV the way they’re pulling out the stops tonight!  Unbelievable!  Just unbelievable!

MT: Trinity sends Varon back into the ring…Varon’s absolutely out of it—AND SHE GETS TAKEN OVER WITH A SCHOOLGIRL! 1…2..NO!!! Varon able to kickout!  Both women back to their feet…Varon misses with a wild right and gets taken over once again…1…2…kickout once again by Varon, and watch this now!  This time trying the clothesline…Alexis able to counter and hook her for the backslide, and we’ve got a struggle on our hands here as both women now…Varon trying to remain vertical…Laree trying to bring her over…

AD: I’d say Lisa’s definitely the stronger of the two—

MT: Oooh!  Varon able to escape from the hold and deliver a knee right to the gut of Alexis!  She’s got her set up now…Varon with Laree…

AD: OH!!!

MT: THE BLACK WIDOW!!! ALEXIS HAS JUST BEEN PLANTED!!! Cover…1…2…NO!  Alexis manages to get the right shoulder up!

AD: Lucky her!  She nearly got beat right there!

MT: There you see Veronica Stevens looking on from the floor as in the ring, Lisa Marie…oh, she looks pissed!  Lisa now with Alexis…and she plants her in the middle of the ring with a scoop slam!  Varon now…setting up…and she scores with a moonsault of her own!  This time a standing version!  Hook of the leg gets two…AND ALEXIS ABLE TO KICK OUT ONCE AGAIN! And Varon…she is pissed!

AD: I think the pressure may be starting to get to them, Mike!  You can see it in both their faces—OW!

MT: And I think we’re gonna be seeing something on Alexis’ face after those hard right hands from Varon!  Just pounding away at the Richmond native, as her tag partner Trinity looks on!!  She’s now got a neck vice applied…Alexis…Trinity trying to root her on, as this crowd—

AD: Listen to em!  They’re hot for this one!

MT: Yes indeed!  These fans are solidly behind Alexis Laree as she tries to fight her way back to a vertical base here! Alexis…she has succeeded in doing just that, and now she fires off with the elbow!  A second right to the gut of Varon and the hold is broken!  Laree into the ropes now…coming off with the ran—OH!!!

AD: POWERBOMB!!!

MT: SITOUT POWERBOMB BY VARON…SHE GETS 1…2…NO!!!! LAREE ABLE TO KICK OUT AGAIN!!!  And Veronica can’t believe it!

AD: Believe it, Tenay!  Like I said, I know Alexis well, and she is double tough!  One of the toughest on the roster!

MT: That I agree with as we see Varon continuing to pound away…now throwing her shoulder first into the middle turnbuckle!  Now look at Lisa stomp away…Alexis getting a taste of the proverbial mudhole, as now Varon sets her up on top!

AD: Uh oh!

MT: Varon…what could she be going for here?!

AD: I dunno, but things sure aren’t looking good for Alexis—WAIT!

MT: Oh Laree…that hard right hand just blasted Varon in the top of the head…she follows up with another—AND A BOOT that has her staggered!!! Varon now…head of steam into the buckle—but she’s caught!!!  Alexis caught her coming in with the headscissors…AND THIS TIME SHE SCORES WITH THE HURACANRANA!!!  Varon is down! Varon is down, and look at Alexis!!!

AD: Sweet Jesus this crowd is hot!!!

MT: Alexis Laree…the fire is in her eyes as she measures Varon…and scores with another right hand!! Another…one more sends her into the ropes!!! There’s the Irish whip—reversal by Varon sends her in…she catches her coming off—NO!! Alexis able to slip free with the go behind—

AD: UH OH!

MT: SHE PLANTS HER WITH THE DDT!!! INVERTED DDT BY LAREE!!! THERE’S THE COUNT…2…3!!! 3 DAMN IT!!! VERONICA PULLED STEPHANIE OUTTA POSITION!!!!

AD: Aww…what a load of…

MT: Alexis just had this one won!  Alexis…OH!  There’s a baseball slide by Laree, and Veronica just got floored!

AD: But watch Varon!

MT: Varon back to her feet…she catches a spinning back kick to the gut, and—OH!!! WHAT A KICK TO THE HEAD BY ALEXIS LAREE!

AD: She may have knocked her out right there!

MT: Alexis…you may be right, but she’s not going for the cover,however! Alexis headed up top…

AD: This could be a mistake here! Wait…look at this…

MT: Veronica on the apron trying to yank down Alexis!!! Referee Jenkins right there—AND HERE COMES TRINITY!

AD: It’s breaking loose again—

MT: OH! Right hand catches Veronica right on the jaw!  Another!  Trinity has her hooked now…

AD: Oh wait a minute…she would—NOOO!

MT: OH MY GOODNESS…TRINITY WITH A HIP TOSS FROM THE APRON!!!! VERONICA LANDED HARD ON THE OUTSIDE!!!!

AD: These women are going crazy here tonight…watch Alexis—

MT: OH ALEXIS!!! SHE WENT FOR THE CROSSBODY…VARON ABLE TO ROLL THROUGH TO A VERTICAL BASE…OH MY GOODNESS!!!! SWINGING BACKBREAKER FROM THE FRONT SLAM POSITION!!! ALEXIS WENT DOWN HARD ACROSS THE KNEE, AND DARN IT, WHAT ACTION WE’RE WITNESSING HERE TONIGHT ON HIGH VOLTAGE!

Ad: Yeah, but unfortunately, that distraction from Veronica may have just cost Alexis here!

MT: Varon now has her set up here…

AD: She’s going for the Widow’s Peak!

MT: I think you may be right!  Varon…hoisting Laree up over that shoulder and into position!

AD: This could be it, Tenay!  This could be…

MT: Wait a minute…Alexis trying to combat the move…Alexis…counter into the sunset flip!!!! Laree…2…SHE GOT HER!!!

AD: WHOA!!!

Ding Ding Ding!!! **Cue “Daydreaming Fazes”

Announcer: Here is your winner: ALEXIS…LAREEEEEE!!!!

MT: Alexis Laree with another pinfall victory over Lisa Marie Varon and—in effect—Simply Luscious!  And by golly, listen to the crowd!!!! They are on their feet!

AD: And look at Varon!!! She’s pissed!!!

MT:  Alexis with the pin!!! Alexis has twice gotten a pinfall victory over the Women’s Tag Champions, and Amy, that could be an omen!  That could be a very bad omen for Simply Luscious, and a sign for the challengers that their time is now!

AD: I couldn’t agree more, and I’m gonna make my official prediction right here: your new tag champions next week at Maximum Carnage will be Trinity and Alexis Laree! Take that to the bank!

(The victorious Alexis heads back up the ramp with Trinity at her side while in the ring, Varon and Stevens argue the result with referee Stephanie Jenkins!  Suddenly, cameras cut backstage, where we see Panther warming up in his locker room.  The crowd pops HUGE once his picture appears on the Universaltron!  He looks intense and ready to go for his next big challenge, when suddenly—

???: There you are!

Panther jumps, startled. He sharply turns towards the door, an uneasy look settling in on his face as Darkest Desires comes into view. She smiles warmly as she approaches him)

Desires: I have been looking all over for you, P!  How ya doin?

(Before he can answer, Desires moves in on him and hugs him tightly. Clearly unnerved, Panther cautiously strokes the back of her head as she lays it deep into his chest, eventually settling into a full hug of his own)

Panther: I’m g-good, Dark!  I’m good!

(The embrace ends and Panther backs away from her. There’s a brief, awkward silence, which is soon broken when Panther says—

Panther: Hey look…I wanna thank you for the help you gave me on FNS the other night!  I wasn’t…uh…I didn’t expec—

Desires: (slapping him on the shoulder) OH P!!!!  You don’t need to thank me!  I mean…you would’ve done the same for me, right?!

Panther: Um…right!

Desires: Exactly…friends do that kinda stuff for one another…and you’re one of the best friends I’ve ever had!

(With that, Desires grabs Panther again and gives him another hug.  Suddenly—

Tina: (entering the room) Hey Panther, I was just wondering if (spots Desires)—WHOA!

Panther: (moving Desires aside) TINA!!! HEY!

Tina: (uneasy smile) HEY!  (brief silence) I’m not…interrupting anything, am I—

Panther: NAH! It’s not li—

Desires: Of course not!  Panther’s got a big match tonight and…I just wanted to wish him good luck…good luck, Panther!

Panther: Uh…yeah…good luck…thanks!

Desires: (giggles) See ya later!

(She pats Panther on the shoulder once more before brushing by Tina and out of the locker room door.  Panther sheepishly glares at the floor as Tina, who can barely contain her laughter, approaches him)

Tina: What was that all about?

(Panther can do nothing but smile as he looks at Tina and shrugs his shoulders.  Suddenly, the graphic for the Panther/Enygma match appears on screen)

AD: Tina: my thoughts exactly!

MT: Yeah, well no time to worry about that, because up next, it’s our feature contest!! It’s Panther, the one and only Champion of Champions doing battle with Enygma! Don’t you dare touch that dial!

***Commercial for the Panther/Steve Corino battle for Commissionership match scheduled for Maximum Carnage, followed by normal commercials***

(When the break ends, we cut to the locker room area, where Rosie Sanchez can be seen standing outside of Commissioner Corino’s office. We can hear a bunch of yelling coming from inside)

RS: Fans, welcome back to High Voltage!  Rosie Sanchez here outside off the Commissioner’s office, and I’ve been told that right now Simply Luscious is inside!  They’re furious about the outcome of that last match and…

(Suddenly, the door flies open, and out walks Veronica Stevens!  She’s steaming mad, clutching what appears to be the sleeve of a dress shirt in her right hand)

RS: Veronica! Veronica—

Veronica: WHAT?!

RS: (Startled) I-I…I just wanted to have a word with you about your upcoming match at Maximum Carnage against Alexis Laree and Trinit—

Veronica: You want a word, eh?!  You want a word?!  Lemme tell ya something honey: I’ve got plenty of words here, most of which aren’t appropriate for network TV!  I will say this, though: don’t be fooled by what you just saw out there in the ring!  A couple of fluke wins don’t change the fact that Simply Luscious is without a doubt the number one tag team in the HISTORY of Women’s wrestling, and come Maximum Carnage, we’re gonna stay that way!  I mean, just look, Rosie!  Just look at the list of the people we’ve beaten: Desires, Diamond, Shyanne, and Alexis?!  Ha…we’ve beaten her and I dunno how many partners she’s had time after time after time after time!  And this time will be no different, Rosie!

RS: With all due respect, a lotta people think that Alexis has found that missing link!  They think she’s found just the partner that’s gonna compliment her enough to pull out the victory over you!

Veronica: Well Rosie—with all due respect—if you or anybody else out there actually believes that, then you must be the biggest f*cking moron on the face of the planet—

RS: HEY!

Veronica: (snatches the mic) I am talking!  You wanna talk missing links, well Alexis, you really must be missing some links up here (points to her head) if you think for one second that you can topple us, because look at us!  Look at me and my partner: we are what Women’s Tag Team Wrestling is all about!  We are a team in the truest sense of the word! We are a well-oiled unit, a by-god SISTERHOOD…and for us to lose our belts to you…a makeshift tag team that probably don’t even like one another in the first place…

RS: Vero—

Veronica: SHUT UP!!! (glares into the camera) Alexis…Trinity…don’t think we’ve forgotten about your past issues!  Don’t think we don’t know about the bad blood that’s existed in the past, and I just wanna leave you with one last thought, one little nugget for you to digest going into our battle next week!  Alexis…you want our tag titles so bad, but do you really think you’re capable of sharing them with the woman who left you laying countless times last summer?!  When we’re in the heat of battle next week, and we’ve got Trinity in the ring, giving her a beating like only we can give her…and she crawls your way, looking for a tag…do you really think you’ll be able to put your past behind you for the sake of your team?!  Do you really think you can forgive her? (laughs)  For your sake, I hope you can, Alexis…because whether you’re truly united or not, it’s gonna take a damn near miracle for you to be able to take the belts from around our waists!  NOW THIS INTERVIEW IS OVER!!!

(Veronica shoves the mic back into Rosie’s chest, the force from which sends her into the wall.  She then tosses the sleeve up into the air and storms off, the cameras focusing on it as falls to the ground (one notices the initials “S.C.” on the cuff). The crowd boos somewhat as we cut to ringside for the feature bout)

Enygma vs. Panther

(A deep green hue falls over the arena as “Evil Deed” begins to play over the PA system.  The crowd begins to boo as cameras switch focus to the entrance, from which a thick roll of smoke is emitted.  Through the smoke appears Enygma, clad in a dingy black trench coat with a sinister smile on his face.)

Announcer: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is our feature bout of the evening.  Introducing first, from Sin City, weighing in tonight at 268 pounds: EEEENYGMA!!!!!

(The crowd boos once more as Enygma continues his path to ringside, sliding into the ring once he’s reached it.  He climbs to a kneeling position, sneering into a nearby handheld camera as flashbulbs go off at various points of the arena)

MT: Here we go, fans; it is time!  The feature bout of the evening and—again—a rare treat for us here on High Voltage as Panther, the former 2-time Universal Champion will be here in action against none other than Enygma!

AD: Yeah…a bit of a bittersweet deal though, because as we mentioned, this seems to be yet another extension of Corino’s plan to make him wrestle the toughest opponents in the company leading into Maximum Carnage!

MT: Yes!  We’re just 7 days away from that huge battle for the Commissionership between Panther and Corino!  The future of the UWA once again hangs in the balance on PPV, but right now, that can’t be Panther’s concern, as he must do battle with the ever-dangerous Enygma!

AD: Yeah, and don’t think Corino hasn’t encouraged Enygma to be EXTRA vicious in this one.

(Referee Jim Jonathan confers with Enygma when suddenly, the sharp opening chord of the Young Gunz’ “Roc U” can be heard over the PA system!  The crowd pops HUGE as the live video feed cuts out, being replaced by a radar grid, at the center of which a glowing panther’s head appears after each sonar revolution.  After the fourth revolution, the grid fades into darkness, leaving just the head, which all at once zooms forward, and—

*BOOOOOOOOM*

--we’re taken back out to the darkened arena, where a HUGE pyro blast rips through the stage!  The crowd buzzes with anticipation as the cameras focus on the entrance, where the song’s first cymbal clash brings about a bright red spotlight, which highlights the left side of the arena.  The second clash cues up another red spotlight, this one highlighting the right side.  The third clash cues up a bright white spotlight from the entrance, which highlights the silhouette of the man himself, and the crowd begins to cheer loudly as that light begins to flash rapidly to the beat of the music before going out. The red spotlights to begin to flash, and converge on the entrance as the opening verse begins, and the cheers grow louder as Panther steps through the smoke and heads to the edge of the stage.  A slight smile appears on his face as he glares into the crowd, then down towards the ring Then, the white light from the entrance re-appears, flickering once again to the song's beat as Panther slowly raises his arms above his head, holding the pose momentarily before swiftly bringing them down to his sides.  On cue, the white light is again extinguished, and the flashing red lights disperse about the arena as Panther starts down the ramp WITH PURPOSE!!!!)

Announcer: His opponent, hailing from Philadelphia, PA! Weighing tonight at 198 pounds…he is the one…the only…THE CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS…PAAAAANTHERRR!!

MT: And you can hear it ladies and gentlemen!  The electricity is flowing throughout this arena!  These fans are pumped to see the Champion of Champions here tonight on voltage!

(Now nearing the ring, Panther tags the hands of a couple of ringside fans before leaping up onto the apron, another smile on his face as he glances over at his opponent, who’s watching him from a kneeling position in a far corner. Upon entering the ring, he brushes off the referee before turning to the hard camera in a wide-legged stance.  On cue, the ring goes black and four white spotlights sweep the arena…getting brighter…and brighter…and brighter…before converging on the center of the ring, where Panther snaps his right fist into the air and pyro explodes from the four ringposts!  With the fans on their feet, Panther marches forward, climbing onto the ropes and playing to the crowd, bringing their cheers a decibel higher.  He heads to the opposite side and does the same.  Upon hopping down, the lights return to normal, the music begins to die down and referee Jonathan calls for the bell)

Ding Ding Ding!!!

MT: There’s the bell, and it is officially main event time!!  Panther and Enygma, and this capacity crowd is ready for this one!

AD: And we heard Enygma earlier, Tenay; he’s ready to make a name for himself tonight at Panther’s expense!

MT: These two men squaring off in the center of the ring now, and you’re exactly right, Amy!  Enygma claiming to be the new face of the UWA as he and Panther go eye-to-eye…

*SLAP*

AD: OH MAN!!! Did you see that?!

MT: Enygma…he just slapped Panther!  Enygma slapped the taste outta his mouth…Panther…you can see the look on his face…

AD: And look at Enygma…he absolutely loves it—

*SLAP*

MT: OH!!! BUT PANTHER COMES RIGHT BACK!!! PANTHER WITH A HARD SLAP OF HIS OWN, AND ENYGMA’S NOT LOVING THAT!

AD: Yeah…from the looks of things, HE’S PISSED OFF!

MT: Oh…Enygma going after Panther now…driving him into the ropes…Panther able to grab a headlock as referee Jonathan tries to separate the two!

AD: Quick thinking by Panther, too!  Not letting the situation get outta hand here…

MT: Enygma now shooting Panther off into the ropes…Panther on the rebound with a shouldblock…ENYGMA DOESN’T BUDGE!!! ENYGMA DOES NOT LEAVE HIS FEET, AND WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT LOOK HE JUST GAVE PANTHER!!! Enygma…right hand misses!  Panther off the other side—WITH ANOTHER SHOULDERBLOCK…and again, Enygma stays on his feet!  Enygma now—

AD: Look at this…

MT: Enygma’s aggressively stalking Panther!  Panther trying to create some space here…and he slips to the outside!!  Panther looking for some much needed breathing room as Enygma follows suit. Enygma…stalking Panther from behind--

AD: Look out…WHOA—

MT: OH ENYGMA!!!! HE HIT THE POST!!!! ENYGMA CHARGED FROM BEHIND, AND PANTHER SENT HIM STRAIGHT INTO THE POST!!! Panther drew Enygma right in, and Enygma is down…

AD: He may be out, Mike!

MT: Indeed!  Enygma…trying to get his wits about him here on the arena floor, as Panther heads back into the ring…

AD: No wait a minute!  He’s going up!

MT: Oh…Panther…Panther’s going up top!  Enygma still trying to regain his bearings on the floor as Panther…Panther from the top—

AD: OH MY GOD!!!

MT: CORKSCREW PLANCHAAAA!!! PICTURE PERFECT!!! TRADEMARK PANTHER, AND THESE FANS ARE ON THEIR FEET!

AD: Darn right they are!  What better place to be than High Voltage, because they are electric here tonight!

MT: Yes indeed, as Panther follows Enygma back into the ring!  Enygma…he is out of it after that venture to the outside!!  He let his aggressiveness get the better of him as Panther…Panther off the ropes—AND HE SCORES WITH ANOTHER SHOULDERBLOCK…AND THIS TIME ENYGMA GOES DOWN!!! Enygma…scrambling back to his feet…Panther off the ropes again—AND HE SCORES WITH ANOTHER!!! DOWN GOES ENYGMA AGAIN!!! Panther now…measuring Enygma again…another shoulderblock coming up perhaps…NO!  Enygma able to side step and send Panther over the top!  Panther able to land on the apron…great agility by the Champ of Champs as Panther now…measuring Enygma…

AD: I dunno if Enygma knows tha—OH!

MT: OH MY…Panther went for the springboard…Enygma saw him from the corner of his eye and was able to shove him from the top rope and to the outside!!

AD: And that’s dangerous, Tenay!  Very dangerous!  Panther could be seriously hurt here!

MT: And seven days away from that huge bout at Maximum Carnage, you can bet that that’s exactly what Steve Corino had in mind when he signed this match!

AD: No doubt, Mike!  Watch Enygma here…

MT: Enygma to the apron now as Panther…trying to gather himself on the floor—OH!

AD: AND THIS TIME ENYGMA GOT CAUGHT!

MT: Enygma hovering above Panther and caught a right hand to the gut for his trouble…and now Panther…Panther with Enygma…

AD: LOOK OU—OH!

MT: GOOD GOD!!!!!  FROM THE APRON!!! PANTHER TOSSING ENYGMA FROM THE APRON AND ONTO THE HARD CONCRETE!!!!!

AD: And did you hear that thud, Mike?!

MT: The look on his face says it all!  Enygma’s body contorted on the concrete…as Panther…Panther bringing him back to his feet! Panther…with Enygma…Irish whip—

*CLANG*

MT: OH!!! RIGHT INTO THE STAIRS GOES ENYGMA!!!! BACKFIRST BY THE CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS…

AD: And Panther’s not done, Mike!  Look at this…

MT:  Panther with Enygma again…Enygma looks to be in a lot of pain here on the outside as Panther…Panther with another WHI—GEEZ!

AD: OH MY GOD!!! DID YOU SEE THAT?!

MT: THROUGH THE GUARDRAIL!!!!! ENGYMA SENT IN WITH SUCH FORCE THAT THE GUARDRAIL JUST SNAPPED!!

AD: Panther’s got him bouncing around this arena like a pinball…

MT:  And Enygma…absolutely in a world of hurt as Panther brings him back to his feet…OH! Rake at the face by Enygma sends Panther reeling…he follows up with a clothesline from behind!  Panther is down over here by us…

AD: The ref’s just letting this one fly…

MT: Showing a lot of leeway indeed as Enygma brings Panther to his feet here…scoop up by Enygma and a sla—

*THUD*

AD: WHOA!

MT: Enygma…Enygma slamming Panther on our table…and now look at him go to work…

AD: Ok, Mike, this is getting a little too close for comfort!

MT: Enygma right out here on our table strangling the Champion of Champions…and finally referee Jonathan’s out here to get some control of this thing!  Jonathan…trying to get Enygma back into the ring—Oh!

AD: And down he goes!

MT: Enygma…shoving down the official…now turning his attention back to Panth—OH!  But look at Panther now…from the table!  Panther fighting back from our table…and a rake to the face of his own!

AD: What goes around, comes around, Tenay!

MT: Enygma’s reeling…Panther able to buy himself a little time with that one as Enygma…Panther from our table…looking for the axehandle, but he catches a right to the gut for his troubles!  Enygma now with Panther—

AD: HEY!

MT: THE SLEEPER…ENYGMA WITH THE SLEEPER…

AD: This is what he used to put out Rag—GEEZ!

MT: RIGHT INTO THE POST!!!!!  PANTHER USING HIS MOMENTUM TO SEND ENYGMA STRAIGHT INTO THE POST!!! ENYGMA IS DOWN!

AD: And he may be out!  Did you hear that, Tenay!

MT: Absolutely!  Beautiful use of leverage by Panther to escape the sleeper hold as now he tries to muscle up the big Enygma…Panther…

AD: He’s out of it, Mike!

MT: You may be right! Enygma’s practically dead weight here on the outside…as Panther…OH! Panther slams him facefirst into the apron, and down he goes!  Enygma’s down once again as Panther here…Panther standing right on the face—

AD: OUCH!!!!

MT: Just raking the flat of his boot across the face of Enygma! Enygma being punished on the outside!

AD: And this is what Corino didn’t wanna see!

MT: Panther taking the fight to yet another would-be Corino hired gun, as the action returns to the ring here!  Panther from the apron with the boot squarely across the throat of Enygma! Referee Jonathan admonishing about the choke…

AD: But look at Panther here…you know what he’s setting up for…

MT: Yes…THE HILO!!!!! Slingshot senton right down across the chest…and the crowd loves it as Panther…lateral press here…only a count of two as Enygma’s able to raise that shoulder!  Panther now…locking up the hands of Enygma!  Greco-Roman knucklelock applied…Panther trying to force those shoulders down to the mat…trying to use his leverage over the larger Enygma…Enygma trying to force himself off the mat…

AD: And you can see that strength and weight advantage coming into play!  I dunno if this is the wisest mo—OOH!

MT: Oh my…Panther grinding his knee into the face…

AD: Well that’s one way to keep him down…geez.

MT:  Panther dishing out the punishment here on Voltage, as now he transitions into the cross-arm choke!  Variation of the Japanese stranglehold…

AD: And he’s got him right where he wants him, Mike!

MT: Indeed!  Panther solidly in control…Enygma trying to fight this thing as best he can—

AD: Look!  Look at the stage!

MT: Wha…oh!  That’s Desires!!! Darkest Desires out here on the stage…

AD: And what’s this all about?!

MT: I have no idea!  We saw her help Panther out Friday Night on the Slam as Panther…Panther just spotted Desir—OH!

AD: Enygma…

MT: Enygma with the counter sends Panther over and onto his back! Enygma—OH!  Quickly following up with a knee of his own!

AD: And he connected with that one, Tenay! Big score for Enygma!

MT:  Yes indeed! Panther appears to have been hurt by that one as Enygma brings him to his feet…Enygma…

AD: What’s he got in store here…OH!!!

MT: OH…OH MY GOODNESS!

AD: DID YOU SEE THAT?!

MT: ENYGMA JUST SENT PANTHER SLIDING RIGHT INTO THE POST!!! PANTHER…RIB FIRST INTO THE POST!

AD: He may have broken his ribs, Tenay!

MT: Panther in some trouble here…fans…we’ve gotta take a quick commercial break!  This match will continue when we return!

*Commercial*

(When the break ends, Enygma has Panther trapped in a corner)

MT: Welcome back to High Voltage, and our feature contest of Panther vs. Enygma, as now Panther—

AD: Look at this!

MT: Panther with those boots to the midsection trying to fight his way out of the buckle!  Panther now, to the middle rope…DIVING RIGHT INTO THE CLUTCHES OF ENYGMA!!!! Enygma drives Panther backfirst into the buckle!

AD: And this is just how it’s been since the break!  Enygma’s been in complete control here!

MT: And that control continues as he pummels Panther’s midsection with those shoulder barges!  Panther has not been the same since hitting that steel ringpost Amy!

AD: Well…to be honest, he hasn’t been the same since he laid his eyes on Darkest Desires!  And I wanna know what the hell she’s still doing out here!

MT: Well…Desires has not left!  She is still looking on from the stage, and I dunno what to make of that after that cryptic warning she left for us earlier tonight—

AD: WATCH ENYGMA—

MT: OH!!!!! RUNNING KNEE RIGHT TO THE FACE…PANTHER WAS LEFT SLUMPED IN THE CORNER AFTER THOSE SHOULDERS TO THE GUT…

AD: And he may be out…

MT: COVER…ENYGMA GETS TWO…AND PANTHER ABLE TO RAISE THAT SHOULDER!!! Panther not outta this one yet, as Darkest Desires…inching closer and closer to ringside…

AD: I don’t like this, Tenay!  I’ve got an eerie feeling…

MT: Oh!  Enygma with a headbutt right to the trapz of Panther! Can’t say I’ve seen that one before, as now he locks up on an inverted bearhug!  Enygma…putting the squeeze on those damaged ribs as Panther…Panther trying to fight out of it with the elbows…Enygma responds with those wailing forearms to head and back of Panther!  Those heavy blows…Enygma brings Panther back to his feet here…Irish whip sends him into the ropes…Panther coming off—

AD: OH! Right into the knee!

MT:  Hard knee to the gut by Enygma!  Panther is down…and look at that!  Enygma measures him with that falling headbutt to the ribs!  Targeted offense from Enygma as he makes the cover…hook of the leg and…only two!

AD: Yeah, Mike!  Enygma…as creepy as he may be at times, he’s not a dumb man by any means!  He knows what he’s doing in that ring!

MT:  Absolutely, Amy, as once again he’s got this reverse bearhug applied to Panther on the canvas!  Panther…getting the life squeezed out of him here!  You can see the look of anguish on his face as Enygma applies pressure to those ribs!

AD: And this absolutely saps your strength, Mike! It’s so hard to breathe, and when it’s applied by someone as strong as Enygma, this hold can be devastating!

MT:  This crowd trying to get behind the Champion of Champions, who’s desperately trying to find a way outta this one, Amy!  Panther trying to fight back to his feet…Enygma refusing to release that grip…

AD: He’s relentless!  Absolutely relentless!

MT: Panther finally able to get his legs under him as Enygma…still with the hold applied…watch Panther now…toward the ropes—OH!  Once again with the leverage move…this time sending Enygma to the outside, but Enygma able to land on his feet!

AD: Yeah, we saw Panther use something similar with the sleeper earlier on—

MT: GOOD GOD!!! Enygma…Enygma slamming Panther headfirst into lip of that apron…repeatedly!

AD: Yeah, and I’m not Delaware Dave, but let’s remember that that’s STEEL under there!

MT: Panther is in some serious trouble here as Enygma has him draped across that apron…AND HE CONNECTS WITH THE LEG DROP RIGHT ACROSS THE HEAD AND NECK OF PANTHER! Enygma…

AD: Look at the look on this guy’s face!  He is creepy!

MT: He’s certifiable…and he’s got Panther right where he wants him, Amy!  Enygma…Enygma now headed to the top…Enygma…who knows what he’s got in store for Panth—OH!!!!!

AD: Well I think we all know what he WON’T have in store for the rest of the night!

MT:  Panther crotching Enygma…Enygma with a tender landing across that top rope!

AD: And that was a big miscalculation for Enygma! He was doing well enough with the power game…

MT: And now let’s see if Panther can capitalize!  Panther headed up top with Enygma…could we see a Pantherplex coming up…OH! Enygma with a right hand…hard right hands…

AD: To the ribs!  Right to the injured ribs—LOOK AT THAT!!!!!

MT: Oh!  Panther just tossed gut first across that top rope by Enygma!!  Panther…teetering on the brink of destruction—AND ENYGMA!!!!  FROM THE TOP WITH A BIG ELBOW RIGHT TO THE HEAD OF THE CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS!!!!  Man!

AD: Almost a guillotine there…

MT: Panther most definitely feeling the effects as Enygma…right over here by us…

AD: And he feels he’s got it well in hand!

MT: And at the moment I think I agree with him!  Panther in the ring…with all kinds of trouble from those ribs as Enygma…

AD: I think he’s getting ready for the kill!

MT: I think you’re right, Amy, as Panther…ever courageous, trying to fight the pain and get back to his feet while Enygma…like a vulture stalking his wounded prey…

AD: This could be it, Tenay!

MT: Enygma from behind now…he charges in—OH!!!! THE CLOTHESLINE IS CAUGHT!!! PANTHER WITH THE HALF NELSON—BUT ENYGMA ELBOWS OUT OF IT! Enygma…boot to the gut of Panther…setting up now for the piledriver—BUT PANTHER…PANTHER TRYING TO FIGHT IT—

AD: OH!

MT: KICK TO THE HEAD…THAT HEEL OF PANTHER CATCHING ENYGMA RIGHT IN THE MOUTH!!! Enygma…Enygma rebounds with a right hand…Panther responds…Enygma once again…Panther returns the favor…

AD: Oh no!!!

MT:  Enygma…Panther able to sidestep him, and Enygma’s head just became tangled in the ropes!! Panther immediately trying to capitalize…

AD: I can’t imagine what that must feel like, Tenay!

MT: I can assure you it doesn’t feet good, as the official tries to keep Panther at bay while Enygma frees himself from those ropes!  Enygma...on the apron now…you can see him favoring that neck as he tries to pull himself back to his feet…

AD: But watch Panther here…

MT: Panther—OH!!!!! BIG FOREARM FROM PANTHER…ANOTHER ONE AND ENYGMA…

AD: HE’S TEETERING, MIKE!!! HE’S TEETERING!!!

MT: Enygma is reeling on the outside…watch Panther here…baseball slide sends Enygma into the guardrail!  Enygma is down and in some trouble on the outside, as now Panther…Panther to the apron here!

AD: What’s he got in mind, Mike?

MT: Panther…Enygma trying to regain his bearings on the outside, and—OH!!!!! ASAI MOONSAULT BY PANTHER CONNECTS!!!! ASAI MOONSAULT…

AD: But the ribs!  Remember the ribs!

MT: Indeed!  Panther appears to have hurt himself on that one, as now you see Desires…Desires now rushing down to ringside and…to the side of Panther…

AD: Now wait a minute, Tenay, what is this all about?!

MT: Desires…we know the history of friendship between she and Panther! Desires now…apparently coming to Panther’s aid here…helping him back to his feet…

AD: Again, Mike, I just don’t know what to make of thus one—

MT: OH NO!!!! ENYGMA FROM BEHIND JUST SENT PANTHER INTO DESIRES!!!! DOWN GOES DESIRES, AND PANTHER GOES CRASHING RIBFIRST INTO THE GUARDRAIL!  Enygma now with Panther…sending him back into the ring!  Enygma follows him in here as now Panther…again struggling to find his feet!  Enygma in from behind—AND NOW ONCE AGAIN HE’S GOT THAT SLEEPER!!!! ENYGMA WITH THE SLEEPER ONE MORE TIME—

AD: Watch Panther—

MT: Watch Panther here…calling for the Panther Cutter…

AD: Here it is—

MT:  No!  Enygma with the arm!!! Enygma’s got that arm of Panther’s…Irish whip sends him into the buckle…Enygma catches him on the rebound with the Samoan Drop!!  Big time Samoan Drop by Enygma!!! Panther is down…and what’s this now?!

AD: Looks like…he’s climbing the ropes again!

MT: Enygma climbing up on that middle turnbuckle…Panther still down on the canvas as Enygma measures him here…what’s he got in store?!
