The haunting sounds of Lacuna Coil's "Tightrope" play as a video collage sums up the past month of events in nWo/WoW. We see shots of Mystery tasering their way into the main event. We see Ichabod being knocked down by Rose and Triple X. We see PKA going nearly insane with his personal troubles and professional struggles.
The scene switches to more recent events, showing Ichabod being tortured, Quake visited by a voice from his past, and Team Wright nearly coming to blows. We see over a dozen new faces gracing nWo/WoW Television. Among all these scenes, a voiceover plays.
Mystery- I will break them again, and again, as many times as I need to make them what they need to be.
PKA- You know damn good and well that I was your first pick because you know that I am your best bet at winning tonight.
Christian Wright- You can throw round two out the window if you can't focus on round one.
Seth Raide- Seth Raide, that's me, will mutilate you until you cough up the sweet crimson liquid of blood.
"The Franchise" Neo- Wherever I was, I brought the people to the shows, I put them in the seats.
Johnny Vain- Johnny Vain walked into that there Pepsi arena with the nWo Television championship and walked out after beating eleven other men with another gold belt to add to his collection
Quake- All I have to do is sit back, watch Weltmeister take out his frustrations on the masked men, then walk in and wear down Weltmiester and use the cage against the monster.
Lawrence Jarvis- Then thats how its gonna be, I dont have a problem kicking his ass, the way I see it, this is the time to make my move, everything is out for the taking and i'm gonna take advantage of it.
Weltmeister - That is how you torture. At Ring Wars, you will see it all again.
Enforcer- Sing for the Absolution fools because it will be you yearning 'Apocalypse please' in two very short days!
Ichabod- God help you if someone doesn't stop me by the end of the night. God help us all
Brimstone- Relax...I'm not here to hurt you...partner
Shane Ryder- My path. It shines within me. I was meant to be great.
B-Pac- I'm freaking royalty and I get thrown in with a pile of swine?
Triple X- The Cornerstone doesn't give a flying sack of grits who's got the title. All that matters is who leaves with it. And that'll be me
Special guests Slaves on Dope light up the arena with "Colombian Ascot" as the fans are on their feet. The roof is blown off as the roar of the crowd in the Pepsi Arena in Albany, New York screams and holds up their signs.
"Team Wright!!!"
"Mystery are the Four Horsemen!"
"Triple X Fears Rose's Girlfriend!"
"Got Tables??"
The cameras pan around as the song finishes and flash to where longtime WoW/nWo personalities Hank and Michael D. sit waiting to kick off the last pay per view of 2003.
Hank- Welcome to Ring Wars!
Michael D.- We're almost ready to get the action started tonight, folks, with some very exciting bouts headlining this end of the year bash.
Hank- That's right, we've got a table battle royal in which the only man who doesn't get tossed out of the ring and through a table will face off against Johnny Vain on Malice next week for the nWo Television Championship!
Michael D.- We also have both federation's major title on the line tonight, and you can see the cage looming above the ring, which will surround Quake, Mystery, and the nWo Champion himself, Weltmeister!
Hank- Yes, and we have been promised a revealing tonight, folks, we will find out who is under the masks holding those damned tasers!
Michael D.- Speculations have swirled, and everyone's been named from Triple X to Chandra Desdemona, to disgruntled GFW stars sore over nWo's tight ratings victory over them, to Ichabod himself. Former nWo and WoW star Dick even claims that a zombified Wafer will return to us from the dead under one of those masks!
Hank- The speculation ends tonight! But lets not forget the WoW title is on the line tonight as well! Longtime WoW veteran Rose upset Ichabod a couple of weeks ago, but tonight he gets his revenge! But lets not forget the number one contender and archnemesis of Ichabod, Triple X will be throwing his hat in the circle for that match as well!
Michael D.- But the event everyone is looking foward to, the third triple threat match of the night, the Ring Wars match itself in which twelve men will have to work with their respective teams to get past a round of hard fought battle into a four man brawl with three titles on the line!
Hank- Christian Wright, backed by Johnny Vain, Damien Brimstone, and PKA. Enforcer backed by "The Franchise" Neo, Lawrence Jarvis, and Shane Ryder. And Bigg Bossman backed by B-Pac, Seth Raide, and Malakian! Three sensational teams vying for the nWo's Intercontinental and Brutality Titles, and the WoW Trivia title!
Mike D.- And lets not forget that whatever brand's wrestler grabs the title above his ring, that title becomes property of that brand!
Hank- All these exciting matches, all these titles decided, Mystery's unveiling, Ichabod's return to reckon with Darren and the nWo, and not to mention Tricky Dicky and Frankie Fanboy will be delivering their respective nWo/WoW Year in Review speeches to find out once and for all who is the best News and Rumors reporter!
Michael D.- One hell of a show, and it all kicks off with an exciting WoW Sanctioned match, Tom King taking on Shady!
Michael. D - There hasn't been much hype over this match, but it could be great.
Hank - Lets go to ringside!
Michael. D - Stop drooling Hank!
Hank - You can talk, but your tongue back in!
Hank - Shady looks like he might be related to Damien Brimstone. This is one creepy looking guy.
As soon as Shady enters the ring, Tom King begins to stomp away, he beats him down then picks him up sends him to the ropes, but Hardy ducks and comes back with flying lariat.
Michael. D - Nice Move, Nice Move!
Shady pulls himself up just as Tom King gets back to his, they trade punches in the ring, Shady goes for a kick but King grabs his foot, spins him around, and takes him down with a dangerous DDT!
Hank - That looked nasty! I hope Shady is ok!
Tom King roll's out of the ring and starts dancing with the ladies, Shady gets back up but slides out of the other side of the ring, he goes under the ring and out of sight, Tom King turns around and looks around for Shady, he gets back into the ring and looks nervously around trying to find Shady who suddenly slides out from underneath and starts spooking the ladies, King furiously comes out of the ring and chases Shady. Shady slides, into the ring against the ropes and nails King with a hard cross body, Shady nips up and taunts King.
Michael. D - Why isn't Shady going for the cover? King is out!
Hank - A suprising Rookie mistake from Shady!
Suddenly the lights go out, the big screen lights up and writing appears surrounded by flames, it reads......."There can be only ONE!" the writing disappears and the lights come back on, Shady looks around as the fans are on their feet, Tom King back on his feet charges at Shady, but gets kicked in the gut, Shady lifts him up and nails him with a tombstone piledriver and he goes for the cover 1..2..3!!
Hank - That's it, it's emphatically over!!
Michael. D - What the hell was that all about!
Shady gets up and throws King out of the ring, all his ladies rush to him and help him, Shady looks around again and all the lights go out again!
Hank - What the Hell!! What's going on!?
Michael. D - This is really eerie! What's causing this!?
Hank - Oh My God!! It's Brimstone, where did he come from!!
Michael. D - It's the powers Hank!! I guess there can be only ONE with the supernatural powers in the WoW!
The crowd erupts, Shady turns but only gets a glimpse of Brimstone before the lights go out and he disappears from the ring!
Hank - This is bizarre!
Quake- I'm ok! Its alright everyone. Is anyone hurt?
Enforcer- What happened?
Quake- Someone blew my door off, genius.
Enforcer- Did you see who?
Quake- No, but there is this
Quake hands Enforcer a card.
nWo Official- What's it say?
Enforcer- It says, "Of all the ones I trusted who thrust the knife of indifference into my back, yours cut deepest, Quake."
Quake- What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Enforcer- It means Ichabod is here.
The cameras switch back to Mike and Hank at rinside.
Hank- Ichabod vowed revenge on everyone tonight, and it looks like Quake was his first target! He's lucky he wasn't killed in that blast.
Mike D.- I tried to look for him, I spent days on the streets asking for information on his whereabouts, trying to help our great president. I'm glad I did now.
Hank- Shut up Mike.
The arena goes quiet as Dick Gazinya himself steps out onto the ramp with mic in hand and walks down to the ring. It has been outfitted with two podiums, each with a mic hookup on it.
Michael D.- Its time for the News and Rumors showdown.
Hank- Yeah, but what the hell is Dick Gazinya of all people doing out here?
Dick- Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here to announce and host the first annual nWo/WoW Year in Review Speech Showdown.
The fans cheer wildly. Its impossible to tell if its for the event or just the added bonus of Dicks first nWo televised appearance in nearly a year.
Dick- Thank you very much. At this time, I'd like to introduce this years contestants. From the highly acclaimed and newly resurrected WoW and its very own News and Rumors site, I'd like to introduce the man who weekly puts nWo to shame with his indepth coverage and even uncoverage of even the tiniest bit of knowledge about whats happening in these sister federations, Frankie Fanboy!
Fanboy steps out onto the stage with a crisp, clear plastic bound folder in hand. As Slaves on Dope play "Go" he walks down to the ring confidently and climbs in. Dick and Fanboy shake hands, their business relationship no secret to the world. Fanboy waves to the fans and takes his place at one of the podiums.
Dick- And his opponent, the embarassingly fat midget who Ichabod got into his head and chose to represent nWo's news site with trash rumors that are unfounded and ill reported, and gets his information from a circus of clowns with funny names and reports it like its actually true. Ladies and Gentleman, the man who ripped off my name, Tricky Dicky.
Suddenly an army of crewmen with cameras, make up specialists, and hair crews rush out onto the ramp and into the ring. Fanboy and Dick look confused at this ruckus as a bunch of Egyptians come out in ceremonial dress and lead a complicated dance/procession down to the stage to Slaves on Dope's "Thanks for Nothing". Jugglers, acrobats, animals, people passing out balloons, majorettes, gymnasts, clowns, motorcycles, and magicians all are included in this procession. Finally, borne yellow litter carried by 12 midgets, Tricky Dicky appears and is carried down the ramp and set at the foot of the ring. The midgets all bow and back away slowly as the entertainment makes its way through the crowd and pumps them up.
Tricky steps in the ring and to the other podium.
Tricky- Come on guys! This is a celebration! Its nWo's Birthday! You guys are boring like your columns.
Dick- OK then. I hope you have your speech prepared, Tricky?
Tricky motions to the crewmen and one wheels a teleprompter into the ring. The makeup and hair crews rush in and prepare Tricky for his speech. Dick rolls his eyes and Fanboy shakes his head sadly. Dick removes a coin from his pocket and shows one side to each reporter, showing them which side of the coin they will represent. He flips the coin and lets it fall.
Dick- Tricky will go first
The fans scream in approval as Tricky signals to the teleprompter.
nWo, otherwise known as the Netlink Wrestling Organisation, a federation that has managed to produce and sign, some of the biggest names in e-fed history. But where did it all start for this great and respected company? Tricky Dicky has the only story you have to hear on history of nWo, but I'm sure seeing as it's Ring Wars that Fanboy will HAVE to say something!
The first nWo card was aired on the second of February of this year that is 2003 however, nWo was in the making since September 2002 following the demise of WoW which at the time was being run by one President James! Following the loss of many great talent leaving the WoW shores, Jame closed the WoW, heavily in debt to many people, with more than one bounty on his head! Sounds like your usual Hollywood movie and it gets worse after Ichabod fakes his own death.
President Darren came back onto the scene though after been kidnapped by Zandor in a different time zone...weird I know but things get stranger. Not only did Darren return but he unvield himself from the demeanour of Old Man Gazinya and revealed to the world that he was infact the son of Dick Gazinya! In the same interview that we found this out Darren also revealed to Reverand Gardner that he would begin the construction of a new organisation with his emergency funds...a federation Bigger and more Powerful than WoW, he also invited all the former staff, EVEN Dick to join his newest empire.
Dick catches up with his father, Darren and warns him of President James and tells Darren if James comes to him that Dick should be contacted to finish the job on the guy that broke Dicks kneck!
It doesn't take long before James catches up with Darren and asks his former friend for help. Darren is unsure, but James threatens to kill Darren if he doesnt help him! Suddenly Ichabod and Brian Graves turn up at Darrens offices, James grabs Ichabod and threatens to kill him. In a moment Ichabod breaks free and Darren shoots Ichabod with a gun.
The guy who ran WoW out of business was now dead and the Gazinya family were free from President James....free to move on with their business along with Ichabod and Graves so it seemed...
February 2nd 2003, an historic night in nWo history, the first Malice of the nWo era a show where all the focus was on the nWo's first Pay Per View, Gladiator. With talent like Sweet Cheapshots, Triple X, Justin Payne, PKA, Necron, Judas, Ichabod, Brian Graves and Dick Gazinya on the scene the nWo had many more great talent. Obviously the first few shows were pretty big with some of the original WoW showing and ultimatley Gladiator was set, where the first nWo champion was going to be crowned, and the chance to make history was fullfilled!
It came at the end of February, months of waiting and the Darren Zillaman was back at the head of a wrestling company, producing this first nWo big bucks pay per view. On this card in a dark match a future nWo star Christian Wright showed and lost, but no body cared about the dark match it was all on the Gladiator match. Now building up to this pay per view Dick Gazinya had been causing havoc with Nester and his friend PKA. The Gladiator match was tought fought however the when it came to the last two fighters Dick and PKA were to square off to the title, man to man? Well not likely because on this night Dick showed that he truely will never be nothing but a chump and a cheat when his father Darren, screwed over PKA allowing Dick to hit his friend with Brass Knucks and pin PKA to become the nWo Champion! Had the Gazinya era begun? In a word...NO!
Two words spell the early downfall of Dick and the Gazinya family....Elite and Rammer! The Malice after Ring Wars Rammer became the second nWo Champion in a World title match full of run ins, most mentionable from Ichabod who branded Ichabod AND Brian Grave (who got Sweet branded on his ass). With the run ins it, Dick gets hit with a chair shot, allowing Rammer to pin Dick and end his title reign at 12 days! Now let me make a point here, my man Quake was brandished a loser for dropping the belt to Christian Wright after 12 days BUT RAMMER? Good on ya Dick and the family!
Rammer managed to hold onto his title belt up to the next big PPV which was Target Locked and to determine the Number One contendership it pitted Rammer and Cheapshots vs Brian Graves and Dick. Against the odds The Cheap One got the pin fall and earned his shot at Rammer, much to the distress of Daddy Gazinya Darren who after the loss put Brian Graves and Dick together in a hell in a cell match, with the stipulation added that if Dick lost then he'd leave!
April 16th 2003, Worchester, Target Locked, the second PPV of nWo and a big double main event. Dick Gazinya saved his career in a sickening hell in a cell match against Brian Graves almost ending Graves career in what could be one of the sickest bumps in nWo or WoW history. All eyes turned from Dick to the main event which started with a shock as Triple X was added to the match as the special guest referee to neither Rammer or Cheapshots delight. The match could go down as an nWo pay per view classic as both men battled hard with the odd moment of suspicious reffiing from Triple X, however Target Locked was the night the third nWo Champion would be crowned after Cheapshots made Rammer tap in the middle of the ring, and Triple X gave Cheapshots the title and raised his arm the winner at the end of another successful PPV
The Era of Cheapness had become the Extreme Legend made it back from the brink of a career ending match with Dick Gazinya, to face Cheapshots in a House of Mirrors match at Jacked Up against Cheapshots. Perhaps one of the most inventive gimmick matches in recent memory, Cheapshots agreed to add the House of Mirrors to the match argueing that Brian Graves didn't have the drawing power to make the main event at a ppv special! Cheapshots went into the pay per view confident as well as having a tag title belt shot too. Now, President Ichabod opened the PPV giving Brian Graves big praise as well as announcing King Karnage the following PPV. Earlier in the night Cheapshots had gained a tag title belt but at the end of the night Brian Graves was all that mattered and in the strangest end to a PPV ever, Brimstone spoke over the arena microphones. This rattles both men as the Hall of Mirrors reached the last moments before it's explosives are set to go off. Cheapshots exits the House first retaining his title closely followed by Brian. With both men out the House of Mirrors exploded causing chaos throughout the whole arena. Both participants dissapeared as the arena were left wondering over the return of Brimstone who hand not been seen since the WoW days.
Cheapshots was still champion, and on the first Malice after Target Locked Cheapy announced a raffle on the card to decide who he would face at King Karnage for the belt, anyone but Brian Graves he said could get a shot. Also on this same Malice came the arrival of the greatest nWo Partnership of all time...8th of June 2003 marked the arrival of QVC, Quake and Vyle, who participated in the Hot Potatoe Battle Royal but lost out to Bloodbath. Elsewhere on the card Brian Graves was in every ball in Cheapshots's lottery thanks to Ichabod screwing with Cheapys lottery.
Cheapshots however picked up an injury before King Karnage and instead the main event was booked with Brian Graves still with the title shot against Weltmeister and Juggernaut. King Karnage and the nWo Championship on the line inside 2 cages with (flying monkeys???) and a barb wire ladder leading to the vacant title and a razor crown for the winner! In a seriously Brutal match up almost getting this PPV banned on DVD, Brain Graves became the 4th ever nWo Champion and perhaps the most deserved nWo champion after months of rivalry with Cheapshots. Mainstreamer came to the nWo at the end of the card and pushed Brian Graves from the top of the cell. Claiming he would soon take the belt!
It seemed like a new turnaround in nWo, No more Cheapshots, NDE, Elite however, Weltmeister, QVC, Brian Graves, Christian Wright and many were all flourishing. Meanwhile Mainstreamer had returned into television and straight into a Pay Per View main event...along with 5 other men in the Run of the Mill match. Mainstreamer didn't stop ploughing through the 6 participants in the Run of the Mill match in the Malices leading up to the event, even helping Quake beat Ichabod and Christian Wright in a Triple Threat before the PPV. Brian Graves however had time from television after his cage bump at King Karnage and went into the next Pay Per view Evolution. The main event was to come from an outside location in a mill, for only the second time in nWo/WoW history, but that wasn't the only big match on the card. The Superhero battle royal was the first of it's kind and hasn't been seen since. At this time also the nWo was taking part in the NWA an interfed promotion in which the nWo had a chance to show its superioty, nWo were entered as Canada and many stars were ranked in the fed however the NWA crumbled with the nWo taking the tag titles from the NWA.....
Back to Evolution and the Run of the Mill which is hotly anticipated to pick up the Match of the Year at the Golden Ring Awards later this month. This match was definantly nothing anyone could expect and at the end, it fittingly came down to Mainstreamer and Ichabod. Ichabod was trying to shoot Mainstreamer for killing his mentor but Mainstreamer somehow avoided the fire and hit a Streamliner on Ichabod to claim his nWo Championship getting to the top in amazingly a month! With Mainstreamer as champion and Ichabod in tatters the nWo needed help fast it seemed....
It was after Run of the Mill that Mainstreamer also dissapeared from the nWo with an injury once more leaving the nWo championship in jeapordy....however sensationally Mainstreamer HANDED the nWo Championship title to Quake, a move no one could figure. Either way, as a rising nWo star Quake took the belt not in honour of Mainy but for his own greed. However Quake dropped the title to Christian Wright in a four way match on Malice 5th October. Weltmeister had risen through the nWo after losing out at Evolution but came back with a number one contendership and the chance to face Christian Wright for the nWo Championship at the next nWo PPV New Force Rising
It was only a few weeks before NFR however that WoW superstars had begun to emerge among the nWo stars as well as Darren Zillamans return to nWo after almost 8 months out! At the time no one was sure how WoW would grow but of course we now all know that the WoW is indeed a fed in it's own right like the old days and we know that the real fireworks haven't even gone off yet! Back to New Force Rising
At New Force Rising Three Forces Rose. One were the forces of QVC with the NFR screw job in which Quake and Shane Ryder joined forces, the second was the force of Weltmeister who despite heavy competition from Christian Wright sensationally (or for some) gained his first nWo title in the form of the nWo CHAMPIONSHIP and finally the newest force rose in the form of the Mystery Men who kidnapped President Ichabod.....
So where does that bring us folks.....it's been a long journey from President James's shooting, to Darren creating the WoW, to Darren handing the nWo to Ichabod, all the champions, the WoW's rebirth and now.....we come to Ring Wars! I have to say that in all my years as a reporter the nWo's current state is the best I have seen any fed, I can't name all the talent because it would take too long but I think ALL of them know, nWo and WoW that they have a chance in this place to be a part of that history....to join the ranks of the nWo and WoW greats that is nothing to be laughed at....long may it continue!
The fans roar and applaud for Tricky's speech.
Michael D.- Not bad... not bad at all, Frank.
Hank- What the... its Hank, Mike. You know that. And yes, Fanb2oy is going to have his hands full trying to top that.
Dick- Well... that was... ok I guess. Now, Frankie Fanboy, "WoW" 'em!
Frankie- That I shall, Dick.
Ladies and gentlemen, I know that you are on the edge of your seat in anticipation for the rest of tonight's pay-per-view... but if you would all bear with me here, I have a very special presentation that I'm sure all of you will enjoy and find extremely informative. I'm all about entertainment, so trust me when I say that you will all be quite impressed. Now, without further ado... I would like to share with you the past, present, and future of nWo and the new WoW.
nWo was founded primarily on the hopes and dreams that rested in a place we all know and love... Worldwide Online Wrestling. For years, WoW had the highest rated wrestling program, the most well-known talent, and the largest fan base in the history of the industry. WoW didn't just have some of the top names in the wrestling business... it had all of them! A legacy was then created. Darren was the king of the world. It was his creation and only seemed to function properly with him behind the helm. If he wasn't involved with WoW, then WoW would cease to be. WoW rested on his shoulders and his shoulders alone. It seemed to be some sort of curse that could never be broken. This was proven many times. WoW has had other presidents besides Darren... the likes of Ichabod and James beared the responsibilities as well as Smoke Dawg among others. During all of these stints, WoW plummeted in value and fan support. In all cases, Darren returned to save the day and turn the company around... except one. With Darren taken away by Zandor, who sent him in a time machine all the way back to 1959, James was now put in charge. Waves began to crash on the golden shores of WoW. Fans stopped showing up, television stations were growing uninteresting in WoW programming, and some of WoW's top names were signing deals with other promotions. To top things off, WoW officials came to a conclusion that they would prosper with the released of a trouble maker. They released released one of their top names left... Smoke Dawg. Shortly after this, someone mysteriously broke into WoW Headquarters and stole the entire collection of WoW Archives. Every video of every show that had ever been recorded under the WoW logo was gone. After months of investigations, authorities came to the conclusion that this was a lost cause and discontinued the search for those responsible. Many fingers pointed... and still do... towards Smoke Dawg. However, there were reports of individuals entering WoW HQ unauthorized... and quite frequently, the description fit that of a certain man we know as Darren Zillaman. Was he actually the one that destroyed WoW, his own creation? Did Darren, infact, sabatoge James? The truth may never be known. After that incident, WoW was officialy crashing at a rate faster than anyone could know. With an extreme lack of morale and a grim future, only mediocre shows could be expected. Given there were still stars on the roster like BG, Triple X, Rammer, Adam Lax, PKA, Rose, and B-Pac... the WoW was nothing compared to what it once was. During the last broadcasted Malice, the evening started off with a grim overtone. The WoWtron short circuted and the fireworks never arrived for the show. It ended, however, with a classic Triple X vs. Adam Lax towering inferno match which saw Triple X defend his Undisputed title successfully. On October 20, 2002, Darren made his return. Not to save WoW, however... but to announce it's closure. Many talent went to other companies, some decided to stay away for a while, and others planned on how to resurrect WoW into an even bigger establishment than it once was.
A good number of ex-WoW talent wound up in ECWL but none had much success there. After a big uprising, the ex-WoW talents packed their bags and left. Word got around quickly that a new federation was in works that would be headed by some of the old WoW guys. This excited most of those that heard the news. Others, however, saw this as a marketing scam to make a little money. Many superstars started hyping matches that would come from this new federations... including Dick Gazinya who was pushing for a huge match against BG. A few months after WoW's closing, mysterious epilogues began to surface featuring things that were happening involving the end of WoW. There were three total but the big shocker came during the second. Old man Gazinya, Dick Gazinya's father, made an appearance in it... and it was revealed that old man Gazinya was actually Prez Darren! Being sent back to 1950, Darren was forced to start over and made a family... the Gazinya's! It was official... WoW was returning... but this time, as the nWo!
On February 2, 2003, the first edition of nWo Malice was broadcasted from Toronto! The show featured two great matches between Nester DeFranco, who replaced an unavailable Dick Gazinya, versus BG and Ichabod versus Necron. Nester scored a tremendous upset by taking out BG and Necron defeating Ichabod. The crowd support was tremendous. On February 26th at the nWo pay-per-view, Gladiator, the very first nWo Champion was crowned when Dick Gazinya outlasted PKA in the Gladiator match. Only two weeks later, in a match marred with tons of interference, Rammer stole the title away from Dick Gazinya. Rammer would not hold the title long, either. Sweet Cheapshots made him tap in a match at Target Locked with Triple X as the ref. Cheapshots suffered a horrible knee injury and went an entire month without even defending his title, so he was stripped of it by Ichabod at King Karnage. Brian Graves then won the King Karnage match over Jugernaut and Weltmeister to become the new nWo Champion. Graves held the title until Evolution, where he lost it in the Run of the Mill (one of the most popular nWo matches to date) match to The Mainstreamer, who held the title a little over a month before handing it over to Quake. October 5, 2003 was a night to remember for Christian Wright as he won the title in a double elimination, no DQ match against Weltmeister, Quake, and PKA that had a crazy finish. Another short reign, as Wright only held the title for barely over a month before getting dethroned at New Force Rising by the monster, Weltmeister. As of right now, Weltmeister stands as your nWo Champion. But does anyone really care about nWo?
You may have noticed that I left out the biggest event in nWo history... I did that for a reason. I wanted to talk about all of the wonderful things involved with this occurance at one time. That wonderful occurance... is the rebirth of WoW! What caused the rebirth of WoW? Greed? Power? Money? You may be surprised. The entire deal with Darren being old man Gazinya was a hoax! The REAL Darren that we all knew and loved from WoW had been kidnapped. The "time travel incident" just opened up the big loop hole for the fake Darren to be planted. As soon as Darren managed to get himself freed from his captives, he saw what was going on with nWo and did something about it. Since he still had all of his old stocks and shares for Worldwide Online Wrestling, Darren awakened his powerful creation from the dead! WoW has risen and has it's own talent, staff, and fan base. Just very recently, WoW has gained it's very own title (which is worn by Ichabod as we speak) and has potential to gain more titles tonight at Ring Wars! With quite a few of their loyal participants back in the mix, there is no telling what WoW will do next, however, I guarantee that I will do my best to provide that information when it becomes available. There you have it, folks... from the closing of WoW, to the birth of nWo, all the way to the rebirth of WoW... but I'm guessing that you would all like to hear my predictions for the future of this nWo/WoW alliance? If not, then shut your ears.
2004 will bring nWo/WoW to a level in which the likes of wrestling programming has never seen! I expect the returns of some of the greatest superstars in the history of the business. A couple of names that I'll throw out at you are Smoke Dawg, Sweet Cheapshots, and of course, Dick Gazinya. Now, I say these returns will be in 2004... but you can expect to see some huge returns in the very near future. How do I know this? It's my job to know this. Not only that, it's my job to pay people to find this out for me. Also in store for the very near future are some very disappointing angles. As a matter of fact... expect some big disappointments in the following hours. You can also rest assured that a nostalgic stable will renew itsself and return to the top of the game. Look for some big rivalries to result in the wake of this stable's rekindling. Both the nWo and WoW titles will be tossed around all over the place in 2004. With the tons and tons of talent that are pouring in the doors and the tons and tons of talent that are already here, 9 out of 10 people will be championship material. I predict WoW to make a mighty stand that will result in huge problems in nWo headquarters. I expect that a war will arise and rage on until one company crumbles to the ground. Nothing will be lost, however... just one company's logo on the banner and the power of a certain few. This shouldn't happen for a good, long while, though. Be certain to expect that more and more superstars will get frusterated at title matches being oddly orchestrated gimmick matches instead of 1 on 1's and make a stand against that which will cause for more problems among the higher-ups. Expect a president to take another leave or have something awful happen to him and the other president assume control of both companies. Mystery guys should be plentiful and as always, end up being a huge disappointment. Johnny Vain and Seth Raide are going to make headlines... I'd love to see these guys fued. Triple X and Ichabod should have a very heated fued and I hope that it lasts a while becuase anything that these two are involved in, you can expect it to be big. The dead will be raised, believe it or not, in a particular story line... or so I've heard. Interfed fueds will hopefully become something we will all witness very shortly as PKA and B-Pac seem to have something brewing. Speaking of PKA, Aggravated Assault is coming to an abrupt end. Look for either PKA or Adam Payne to jump ship to WoW or either give up the companies altogether. The jobber division has been looking pretty decent lately so don't be surprised to see one or two of them jump over to the regular roster. Quake's dominant reign will continue to run rampant on nWo but look for several top names to step up and try to knock him down a few levels.
Folks, I hope you have enjoyed my presentation and I hope you learned a little bit more about the history that lies within these companies. I would like to thank each and every one of you for your support of nWo/WoW and for allowing me to continue running the WoW News & Rumors program. Without your support, we absolutely would not be here. Enjoy the rest of the show, and the rest of your evening.
The fans cheer wildly again. Dick holds his hand up to quiet the crowd.
Dick- A damn good review by Fanboy Frankie. Now I must have everyone quiet, because your cheers are going to determine the winner of this contest. Thank you. Now when I hold my hand over each head, I want you to cheer for the one you think delivered the best review.
Dick walks over to Tricky and puts his hand over his head. The fans go nuts screaming, but Dick cuts them off by walking over to Fanboy. He puts his hand over his head and the fans go nuts again. Dick holds his hand over Fanboys head for at least three times as long as he did for Tricky, but just as he drops it, Tricky raises his own hand over his head again, and the fans are still screaming their heads off. Tricky grins slyly. Dick rolls his eyes again.
Dick- Notwithstanding Tricky's obvious attempt to cheat, the winner is clearly, Frankie Fanboy!!
Tricky- Yeah I expected as much when I saw your ugly face out here hosting, Dick.
Frankie Fanboy- Don't be a sore loser, Tricky, when your show goes under, I'll offer you a spot on my writing staff, how's that sound?
Tricky goes to extend his hand looking dejected, but suddenly kicks into Frankie's gut! Before Dick can react, Tricky kicks Frankie in the face, sending him to his back. Tricky hits Frankie with a big splash and turns both podiums over on top of him. Dick advances on Tricky, but security is already in the ring, holding Dick back. Tricky picks up Dick's mic.
Tricky- Thanks for the offer Funboy, but I think I'll just stay tricky!!
The fans give a maddening pop as Tricky raises both arms in the air. Dick looks pissed. Tricky goes to the back as Dick helps Frankie up and leads him to the back as well. Ring crews come down to clear the ring out for the next match.
Michael D - The next match is going to decide the #1 contender for the Television Title.
Hank - We just got word the Sycotic will not be able to make the match.
Michael D - He was one of the favorites Hank.
Hank - Smart move. Nate is a beast.
Michael D - That’s a first. This match is great.
Nate doesn’t know what to think and sees Cleaver begin to stir again. Maxx pulls a table out from under the ring and sets it up on the outside. Nate grabs cleave by the throat. Cage gets up with a chair he pulled from nowhere and nails Nate. Nate stumbles back and receives a double dropkick from Cleaver and Cage. Nate ends up in a corner, and Cleaver gets a chair shot from cage when standing up. Cage bounces off the rope and some how manages to hit the Teen Spirit, sending Cleaver’s face through a table, while running on Cleaver. Cleaver’s face splinters the wood and the bell sounds to signal one man out. Cleaver rolls over with a crimson mask. Fable starts to get up and Cage stares him down. Maxx Climbs in the ring and begins pouncing on Cage. Fable walks over to Nate who happens to be playing possum and Reaches up for a choke on Fable. Fable manages to kick down at Nate, breaking it. Nate gets up and stares at Fable. Fable motions, welcoming the challenge. Maxx meanwhile has Cage in a turnbuckle in a world of hurt. Maxx throws him outside and climbs out after him. Cage tries to counter, but is clobbered with a right hand. Maxx lays him on a table. He climbs on another. He signals for an elbow, but Fable runs out to break it up. Cage is still on the table, when Nate flies over the ropes and crashes down and Cage sending him through the Table. The bell rings again. Maxx gets up and joins the scrap between Fable and Nate. The two big men gang up on Fable. They nail him with a lethal double powerbomb. Nate rolls him in and Maxx starts throwing in more tables. Three tables in the ring and is Fable hurting. The big men get in and start to set up the tables. Maxx picks up Fable, and readies him for a powerbomb. Nate sets up a table and gets ready to add to the pain. Fable goes up but turns around grabbing the head of Maxx. He pulls down the beast and sends his head through the table. The bell rings. And then there were two.
Hank - WOW! What a counter!
Michael D - What a great match from these guys Frank!
Hank - MY NAME IS HANK!!!
Hank - What a great match! Michael D - Fable gets a shot at some gold next week. What a win for Fable!
Enforcer- There is a dangerous man on the loose in this arena, more dangerous than you can imagine, and I have been sent to investigate whats going on around here.
Officer- Sent by whom?
Officer- But aren't you a wrestler?
Enforcer smiles
Enforcer- I'm undercover. Now get outta here before I Stone Cold Stun you or something.
The officer takes the joke and grins, leaving Enforcer to his business. He makes his way through the rest of the cops. Lying on a stretcher is Seth Raide. He doesn't look seriously injured, but his jaw looks broken. Enforcer flashes the badge again and asks for a few moments with Seth. The officers oblige and walk away.
Enforcer- Who did this, Seth?
Seth- What do you care?
Enforcer- Honestly I don't really care about what happened exactly, thats one less person to worry about tonight. What I care about is who did it what why.
Seth- It was Ichabod. He burst through the door and attacked me, screaming about vengeance the whole time. He caught me by surprise, or else who wouldn't have walked away.
Enforcer- I thought so, but why? That makes no sense. You didn't even know him, why should he declare vengeance on you?
Seth- The man's obviously insane. And Zak, don't get your hopes up about tonight. I've been examined and I'm ok. Just a badly bruised jaw and a lot of abrasions and bruises. I'll be in good shape when it comes time to take out team Enforcer.
Enforcer walks away without retorting, confusion filling his eyes.
The scene cuts back out to ringside.
Hank- This is one of the most anticipated matches of the year, Mike.
Michael D.- Yes, and since we've still yet to see any Mystery unveilings tonight, this could be the moment!
Michael D.- Quake looks damn ready for this, Hank.
Hank- I'd say so. This will be his chance to prove the naysayers wrong that he was a mere paper champion!
The lights in the arena suddenly turn off as the fans sit in darkness for a few seconds. With a large bang, all four ring posts explode in sparks and a flashes. The theme from "Terminator" plays as the arena lights turn back on to a bright red as Weltmeister and his manager, Kurt Sharp, walk out from the back. Weltmeister is led to the ring by Kurt and steps over the top rope before climbing to the second rope and flexing his giagantic arms before the crowd.
Hank- Hold on. The champ's supposed to come out last!
Michael D.- I guess Mystery really has taken over!
Hank- Either way, Weltmeister is the one with the most to lose tonight.
Everyone waits in anticipation as Mystery 2 walks out with no lights or music and walks confidently down to the ring. He climbs in just as Welty is passing his title off to an official, and Mystery eye's it greedily through his ski mask.
Michael D.- No satisfaction yet, Frank.
Hank- Its Hank, Mike. Hank.
There is a sickening grind of metal from the ceiling.
Frank- Everyone's waiting with breath held as the cage lowers around these three men.
Before the cage can even completely lower past the ropes, Weltmeister runs at Mystery and spears him through the ropes. Quake backs away as the cage touches down inches away from where the two landed. Weltmeister begins laying hard rights into Mystery's masked face, then picks him up slams him face first into the ring apron. Quake perches up on one of the turnbuckles well away from the action.
Hank- Look at Quake just watching Welty dismantle Mystery!
Michael D.- This is the way Quake planned it Hank!
Weltmeister scoops Mystery up in the air over his head, and slams him against the cage surrounding them. There is only about a foot of space to work with out there. Mystery crumples at the monster Russian's feet, but manages to kick out at Welty's knee, bringing the champion to a halt. Quake reaches into a bag at ringside and removes a twinkie, unwraps it, and begins to eat it.
Michael D.- Why doesn't he just climb out??
Hank- Weltmeister is too smart to focus entirely on Mystery, and Quake knows it. He's be on him in a second. He's much better just saving his energy to knock a tired Weltmeister down.
Hank- That's disgusting.
Michael D.- Are you kidding me, Frank? Its brilliant!!
Hank- HANK!!!
Michael D.- No, I'm Mike.
Mystery is to his feet now and wraps his arms around Weltmeister's waist, driving him back against the cage. He headbutts him a few times in the gut, and then shoulder blocks him into the cage. Mystery rolls Weltmeister into the ring. Quake turns around, seeing he might have to get in on the action soon enough.
Mystery turns to Quake, who is ready. They rush at each other and collide in a double clothesline which knocks them both down. Weltmeister is up and climbing the cage, but Quake is to his feet in an instant! He grabs Mystery and whips him hard to Welty's cage side, and the impact brings Mystery and Weltmeister down in a crumpled heap. Quake rushes over to the two men and grabs Weltmeister up in a ddt!
Mystery is up again, but Quake is making his way toward the cage. Mystery removes his tuxedo jacket, revealing double shoulder gun holsters over his white shirt. In them are tazers!!!
Hank- Dammit!
Michael D.- Bring on the Tasers!!!
Quake risks a glance over his shoulder and sees Mystery drawing the tazers like some archaic gunslinger, but he's already on the cage. He has a chance, but Mystery isn't going to let him go easily. Quake reaches the top of the cage and swings a leg over as Mystery reaches the ropes on that side.
Michael D.- Damn this one could be over already. There's no way he can climb that cage in time to taze Quake.
Quake grins down at Mystery, who pushes one of the tazers foward. Two prongs jump forth from the tazer, trailing wires behind and lodge in Quake's leg as his eyes go wide.
Mike D.- Projectile tazers!!
Mystery jerks the tazer grip and the wires pull the barbs from Quake's thigh as Quake falls back into the ring twitching. Mystery lights up the other tazer, the regular kind, and draws back to beat Quake with it... but Weltmeister grabs him from behind in a massive belly to back suplex! Mystery lands on his own tazer finally getting a taste of his own medicine. Weltmeister turns to Quake and lifts him up whipping him to the corner. Quake crumples in the corner as Welty applies a boot to his throat. Quake is choking and clawing at the supersoldiers boot.
Hank- Weltmeister is back in the game!
Weltmeister finally lets go and turns to Mystery, who has gotten up. The tazers left aside, Mystery runs at Welty for a cross body block, but Welt catches him in midair and executes a gorilla press slam that shakes the ring! Weltmeister goes to cage side and starts his second climb!
Quake is struggling to his feet, and runs across the ring coughing. He gets nearly to Weltmeister and Mystery sweeps his feet from under him, sending him headlong into Weltmeister's kidney! Welty grabs his back and hops down from the cage. Mystery runs at Weltmeister and nails a perfect drop kick, knocking him across the ropes and into the little ringside space!
Mystery turns to Quake, but Quake is up. They go into an oldfashioned lockup. It looks like Mystery is gaining the upper hand, but Quake suddenly grabs the back of his ski mask and rips it off his head!! The fans gasp as they see...
Another mask underneath. This one looks like a luchadore mask with black, blue, and silver on it.
Mike D.- Mystery is Rey Mysterio Jr.?
Hank- The second mask is insurance against the first one getting ripped off, Mike.
Michael D.- Oh... I knew that. Thanks Frank.
Hank-...
Mystery kicks Quake in the gut and spins him around for a dragon sleeper. The fans are stomping and yelling at Quake for support. Quake reaches a hand out into empty space and clenches a fist as the fans scream in approval. Quake smashes a forearm into the luchadore mask, breaking the hold!
Mystery drops Quake, who is up on his feet instantly. He runs at Mystery, but Mystery ducks down and clotheslines Quake slightly below the gut. Quake grimaces as Mystery turns and slams an elbow into his breadbasket.
Hank- That's just dirty.
With Quake crumpled over and gasping for air through an already bruised throat, Mystery finally begins to climb the cage. He gets to the top and sees Weltmeister grabbing the cage as if to shake Mystery loose like in the old WWF RAW game. Quake is starting to stand up as well although he looks a bit blue in the face. Mystery makes a quick decision and leaps from the top of the cage with a massive frog splash onto Quake!!
Michael D.- Did you see that??
Quake is down and out for now, but Weltmeister is in the ring. Welty runs for Mystery and grabs him with both hands up in the air. It looks like he's going for his signature Two Handed Slam! He lifts him up to arms length, but Mystery kicks out and nails Weltmeister in the jaw, and Weltmeister drops him. A trickle of blood is running from under Welt's mask, but its impossible to tell exactly what the injury is. Weltmeister reaches up and touches the blood--which is actually slightly tinged with green--and whirls around to Mystery. He rushes at him full speed, going down for a massive shoulder block that Mystery has no power to stop. He flies off his feet and gets tangled up in the ropes. Weltmeister stalks over to him and begins laying axehandles into every part of his body he can, pummeling Mystery for all he's worth. Weltmeister throws a few good stomps and kicks in for good measure, then climbs the cage right above Mystery.
Hank- Look out Weltmeister!
Quake has gotten to his feet on the other side of the ring and he has the forgotten taser! Instead of going after Weltmeister, Quake jams the taser against the cage and flips it on, sending shocks all the way around the ring and electrifying the entire cage! Weltmeister is shaking but can't seem to let go of the cage. The current holds him onto it until Quake pulls the taser back, and Weltmeister falls into the ring twitching. Quake walks over to him and jams the taser against Weltmeister's throat and cranks it up to full power!
Hank- He's going to kill him!
Michael D.- Revenge is a bitch, Frank!
Hank- Just shut up Mike.
Quake holds the taser on Weltmeister's neck for an achingly long time, long after it is obvious that Welty is unconscious. Quake turns to Mystery, who has just gotten himself untangled and is on his knees trying to shake out the cobwebs. Quake runs toward him and Mystery manages to get up enough to scoop Quake up in a bear hug, but Quake brings the taser down on Mystery's back, sending the volts through his body and bringing him back to his knees!
Michael D.- Mystery got tased! Mystery got tased!!
Quake rears back with the taser and brings it crashing down on Mystery's skull once, twice, three times! Four! The top of Mystery's luchadore mask is staining red from where Quake has busted his skull open! Quake picks up Mystery and whips him toward the rope.
Hank- This could be over right now!
Mike D.- Mystery better have some damn good trick up his sleeve, or so much for the hostile takeover!!
Mystery bounces of the ropes and stumbles back toward Quake, who swings out for a clothesline from hell, but Mystery ducks under and turns, and when Quake turns as well, Mystery drops down and floors him with a Fuckemuppercut!!!!
Hank- OH MY GOD!!
Quake hits the mat like a plank and Mystery jumps onto the cage. He's nearly sapped of energy, but he slowly manages to reach the top. He swings a leg over and sits there catching his breath. He looks to where Weltmeister is barely stirring and Quake out like a light. He looks out to the fans who are on their feet. He reaches up to his head and removes the mask...
Hank- ITS MAINSTREAMER!!! ITS MAINSTREAMER!!!
Michael D.- I KNEW IT I KNEW IT FRANK!!!
The Mainstreamer falls to the outside of the ring and lands on the mat, clearly exhausted, as an official makes his way over and hands him the nWo Championship. The Mainstreamer takes it and pulls himself up to his feet. He climbs up onto the Ugandan Announce Table and holds the belt up in both hands above his head. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a set of shades and slips them on and tosses the strap across his shoulder as he's walking to the back.
Michael D.- Mainstreamer is the champion once again! He's also the first ever two time nWo Champion!
Hank- Well, Dick was at least one part right, and with two matches to go, we're not long in finding out how right he was!!
Backstage again, we see Enforcer coming around a corner. He stops and his eyes go wide, and the camera pans around and we see a man hunched over outside PKA's doorway.
Enforcer- Ichabod?
Ichabod- Yes Zak?
Enforcer- What the hell are you doing?
Enforcer walks unafraid to PKA's door. Ichabod stands up and turns around smiling. Enforcer looks down and sees the explosive device set up outside PKA's door. The door suddenly comes open.
PKA- What the hell is going on out here?
Ichabod- Sabatoge, PKA. Enforcer here has been working all night to take out his opponents in this match. First he hit the QVC locker room hoping to take out his own partner Shane Ryder. Then he beat the hell out of Seth Raide. Now he's hoping to at least injure somebody on your team.
Enforcer- Thats ridiculous you lying sack of shit.
Ichabod decks Enforcer, who comes back swinging. Ichabod ducks the swing, which nails PKA. Christian Wright runs out of the room piling on Enforcer. He pounds on him when "The Franchise" and Lawrence Jarvis come running down the hallway and charge into the fight. Bossman and B-Pac rush in from the other way, and all hell has broken loose.
Hank- My God, what has Ichabod done?? Save it for later guys!
Ichabod slips away from the fight unnoticed as B-Pac turns at the right moment to catch the wicked gleam in his eyes. Ichabod walks down the hall and out of sight.
B-Pac- HOLD IT!! Stop fighting! Cut it out guys. Don't you see what's happened??
Christian Wright- I... I think Ichabod just duped us.
Bossman- What the hell are you talking about.
B-Pac- Trust me. I've known Ichabod a long long time, and I know how his mind works. Something in his eyes when he walked away just now told me that he was somehow the cause of this fight.
The fighting ceased--for now--Enforcer is allowed up to tell what he knows of the night's events.
The arena lights dim as Triple X's portly assistant Morty waddles to the ring. He climbs in and grabs the mic away from the ring announcer and begins to speak. "Ladies and gentlemen please rise to your feet for I proudly introduce the One... True... Icon.. of professional wrestling.. The Cornerstone.... TRIPLE X!" 'X gon give it to ya' hits the PA as Triple X emerges from the back with an arrogant smile. He makes his way to the ring, climbs in, and smacks Morty demanding he leave. Triple X cracks his neck and allows himself to be admired by the WoW fans.
Hank - There been a lot of speculation about him being part of the Mystery Squad. But after everything that’s happened recently, I don’t know what to think.
Michael D - Me either Frank.
Hank - …
"I'm over it!" "You see I'm falling in the vast abyss" "Clouding my memories of the past" "At last, I see" The music pauses just then as an explosion of blue pyros ignite the stage in a superheated inferno. The music continues as the smoke clears and Ichabod stands there, head down, fists clenched down in front of him. "I hear it fading" "I can't speak it, or else you will dig my grave" "You feel it finding, always winding" "Take my hand now, be alive!" Ichabod throws his hands out as another blast erupts, this one three times that of the first. The entire set up engulfs him as fans gasp and yell. Before the fire can even clear, he steps out of the flames and onto the ramp, the lasers flashing off and on but following him, and blue screaming pyros flanking him as he power walks to the ring. "You see I cannot be forsaken" "Because I'm not the only one" "We walk amongst you feeding, raping" "Must we hide from everyone?" Ichabod stops at the apron long enough for the dim strobe lights to begin, slowly at first, then building in intensity. He climbs onto the apron and throws his arms out in a crucifix position as the lights come up.
Hank - Another man wrapped up with Mystery. This one it seems more so than Triple X.
Michael D - He also comes in here the only other person to hold this version of WoW’s title.
Hank - Ichabod plans on winning it back here tonight.
Michael D - WoW’s first ever Female WoW Champion. Her first defense, this should be good.
Hank - Whoa…
Michael D - Watch out there!!
Michael D - Ouch.
Hank - I don’t like this strategy, there’s still another member of the match, and she’s out like a light, go for the win now, before it becomes a triple threat again.
Ichabod struggles, and tries to get the crowd behind him. Ichy gets to his feet and finally lands an elbow in the stomach of X. X steps back, but doesn’t let go. Ichy Tries again, and X still holds on. Ichy goes for a third, but X drops Ichy suddenly on his neck and goes for the cover.
Michael D - I think he had that planned out.
Hank - Where did he come from!
Michael D - Ichabod reclaims the WoW title!
Hank - It was a rather short reign for Rose. I smell controversy with Ichabod holding that title.
Michael D - So do I Frank, so do I…
Hank - HANK! MY NAME IS HANK!!
Ichabod hefts the belt over his shoulder and reaches into his practice pants. X sneaks up behind him for a cheap shot, but Ichabod turns and catches him in the gut with a taser!!
Hank- What??
Ichabod laughs as X crumples from the shocks. He reaches into his practice pants again and pulls out a black ski mask and tosses it on top of X. He steps out of the ring and walks backstage as nWo officials help X and Rose out of the ring.
Hank - Ichabod is with Mystery!! Damn him!! How can it be??
Michael D.- Are you kidding me Frank? This explains EVERYTHING!
Hank- Well I hope someone will explain some of it to me.
Mike D.- Well that means Dick has been 100% sure... so far.
Hank- Except for when Dick said Ichabod was having a change of plans tonight. Ichabod and Mainstreamer are part of Mystery just like he said though! But who else?
Michael D.- Lets follow Ichabod backstage and see if we can find out!
The camera cuts to Ichabod walking toward his locker room. He opens the door, and inside sits Mainstreamer drinking a Smirnoff Ice, and on the other side of the room, twirling a black ski mask is... Wafer!!
Hank- Its true! Its true! Vp Wafer is back! VP Wafer is back! He really did fake his death!
Michael D.- So Dick was full on with his prediction! Is everything else he said true??
Wafer- Two championships, all the executive power in nWo. Everything is going as planned.
The Mainstreamer- So I guess now that we're confirmed as Mystery, that herb Dick must be pretty happy.
They all chuckle.
Ichabod- Yeah, I've already heard that choad's tooting his horn pretty hard about being right about us and blowing our cover.
Wafer- How cute.
The shot cuts back to ringside
Hank- They don't seem upset at all about being revealed! Well, it's now time for the match of matches tonight...the RING WARS match! Let me quickly re-cap the rules. We have 3 teams of 4 superstars from both the nWo and WoW. Each team is represented by a champion whether it be Brutality, International or Trivia. We have 3 rings seperated by aisle ways forming a triangle type pattern on the arena floor. Each title belt will be hung above each teams 'home' ring. The object, be the team to capture all the titles (ladder match style) and have them all safetly hanging above your home ring. Once this is acheived, the other two teams will be eliminated.
Michael D - Don't forget, the match doesn't end there. The surviving team will then face off against eachother for those title belts. At the end of the match, we will have 3 champions and one poor soul left out in the dark. Here we go!
The Big Bossmans music hits as the current WoW Trivia Champion steps out spinning his night stick. He begins to head to one of the rings. Following behind him emerges Elite member B-Pac who gets quite the boos from the crowd whom he flips off. The clown make-up wearing Malakian steps out behind him and gets a mixed reaction from the crowd. He is followed by the newcomer Seth Raide who gets quite the ovation from the crowd. All the men enter their home ring except for Seth who doesn't even seem to acknowledge his partners.
Hank - This is a WoW stacked team with Seth being the odd nWo man out. No wonder he wants nothing to do with his team.
Michael D - Well, he's going to have to get along if he wants to make it the next round.
Every light in the arena dims but not to an absolute black. A light from the rafters above the ring shines down a heavenly effect. Crawling in the Dark then hits the PA system, when the lead kicks in two white pyros go off either side of the entrance ramp and as the vocal then kicks in the sturdy figure of The Enforcer emerges from the thick smoke given off by the pyros. He holds his arms out in a crucifix style with eyes closed. As the next chorus kicks in his eyes open and arms drop before he breaks into a run toward the ring and toward the heavenly light shining down on it. He sports his nWo Brutality Championship. His the music continues as his teammates follow behind him. Shayne Ryder, "The Franchise" Neo and Lawrence Jarvis. All three head to the ring together behind the team captain and climb in their home ring. They stare across the aisle way to the Bossman's team and begin taunting them.
Hank - It will definatly be interesting to see what each teams strategy is here.
Christian Wright's entire team leaves their ring and has CW and Johnny Vain head towards the Brutality title ring while Brimstone and PKA head towards the Trivia title ring. Enforcer, Ryder and Neo all head towards the International title ring while Jarvis stays back as a defender in his home ring. Over in the Trivia title ring, B-Pac scoops up the ladder and takes it outside the ring and slides it underneath the ring. The entire team stays inside the ring to defend their championship belt.
Hank - Three different strategies. Let's see how this plays out. For those of you at home with High Definition television, you can use your in screen" feature to watch all three rings at once! For those of you with regular television, we'll do our best to catch all the action.
CW and Vain meet up with Enforcer, Ryder and Neo in one aisle and begin to battle it out while PKA and Brimstone approach the Trivia title ring and it's defenders. B-Pac, Bossman and Malakian urge the two to come on in the ring. As they approach, Seth Raide blindsides the two with a double clothesline. With the two down, the whole team begins to take them on outside the ring 4 on 2! They begin stomping the two. B-Pac gets his team members to stop so he can get his hands on PKA. He pulls PKA up and rolls him into the ring and follows, while the other 3 begin to take out Brimstone. Bossman grabs his nightstick while the other two grab weapons from under the ring. The begin to pound and beat Brimstone with all their weapons. Brimstones eyes begin to light up for some of his power but then fade out. The beating is too much, 3 on 1 with weapons. Finally, Seth Raide yanks away the Bossmans night stick and strikes Brimstone in the temple with it, knocking him completey out and busting him wide open. The Bossman shoves Raide wanting his nightstick back. Raide just drops it on the ground and glares at Bossman. Raide turns and begins to head towards the International title ring. Officials begin to check on Brimstone and cross their arms to the back. Medics arrive on the scene and attend to Brimstone.
Hank - This isn't good for Christian Wrights team. It looks like Brimstone won't be able to continue.
Michael D - Yea, but look in the ring! PKA and B-Pac are going at it tooth and nail! They've been wanting to get at eachother for weeks now!
B-Pac and PKA exchange lefts and rights until B-Pac gets the upper hand and sends PKA into a corner. He comes in with a clothesline and attempts a DDT but PKA grabs the rope making B-Pac fall back onto the mat. PKA lands on him with an elbow drop. He pulls B-Pac up and hits him with a neckbreaker. PKA looks up at the Trivia title hanging above the ring but realizes there's no ladder around. He begins to search for the ladder looking around the ring. He looks over the ropes and BAM! He gets the top of the ladder right in the face courtosy of Malakian. PKA goes down.
Well, he found the ladder.
Across the way, CW & Vain are still battling in the aisle with Enforcer, Ryder and Neo. CW is double teamed by Enforcer and Ryder but battles back. He delivers shots to both men making them stumble back. With the two men groggy, he grabs them both by the back of their heads and slams them both into the guard rail. He then helps out Vain who is being choked out by Neo. He dropkicks Neo in the face making him break the hold. He helps Vain up and points to the ring where Jarvis is waiting, defending the title. The two men approach the ring but don't see Jarvis scoop up the ladder. As they climb to the apron Jarvis throws the ladder at them. The ladder strikes them knocking them off the apron. The fans begin to cheer louder and louder and Jarvis soaks it up but quicly realizes it's not all for him. Seth Raide has just climbed the ladder in the empty home ring for the International title and pulled the belt down!
Hank - Seth just walked right in and took the title! Now he's got to get it back in the Trivia title ring!
CW and Vain are down and have no idea Seth has the title. Seth begins to climb down the ladder but just then the ladder is toppled by Enforcer and Ryder. Seth hits the mat and drops the belt. Ryder picks up Seth and tosses him out of the ring. He picks up the title and is about to head back to the Brutality ring when he is struck from behind by the Bossman and his nightstick. Bossman picks up the International title and leaves the ring. Enforcer, who is working on Seth outside the ring spots Bossman leaving with the title. He stands up allowing Seth to get a low blow in. Enforcer falls over. Seth approaches the Bossman and pats him on the back as he begins to head back to the Trivia title ring but then clobbers his own partner Bossman! Bossman goes down. Seth grabs the title and heads back to the trivia title ring.
Hank - Seth wants to do this all on his own!
In the ring, Malakian has set up the ladder for Seth while B-Pac keeps PKA detained in the corner. Seth climbs the ladder and hooks the International title up with the Trivia title. Just then, Neo slides into the ring with a steel chair and begins attacking Malakian, B-Pac and Seth. PKA breaks free and the two begin to work together even though they are on different teams. With the Trivia title team all down, PKA kicks Neo in the stomach making him drop the chair. PKA then DDT's Neo right on the chair! PKA looks up to see he is the only one concious and spots the two titles hanging above the ring. He climbs up the ladder and grabs both belts before falling down to the mat and rolling out of the ring!
Hank - What a smart move by PKA!
Back in the Brutality title ring, CW and Vain have made it inside the ring and have gotten the ladder away from Jarvis. They begin to double team Jarvis. CW pulls Jarvis to the corner and begins stomping him. He turns and tells Vain to go get the belt. Vain sets up the ladder and begins climbing. Jarvis sees him and rakes the eyes of CW who stumbles back. Jarvis clotheslines CW and then dropkicks the ladder. The ladder falls over with Vain on it. Vain flies over the top rope and lands flat on his back outside the ring! The fans begin to chant "HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT!"
Hank - This is it! All PKA has to do is get to the top and hang those belts up! He climbs in the ring and sets up the ladder!
PKA begins to climb the ladder with the belts. Shyne Ryder slides into the ring and begins to climb the other side of the ladder. The two men get to the top and are exchanging punches as the ladder teeters. Then Christian Wright comes in and climbs up begind Ryder. He puts his head between his legs and picks him up on his shoulders and falls back off the ladder! Ryder lands hard on his back with a loud bang.. The fans go crazy! PKA is about to attatch the belts when Lawrence Jarvis flies into the ring and knocks over the ladder making PKA fly over the top rope much like he did to Vain except PKA goes crashing through a spanish announce table!! The fans are in shock and once again chant "HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT!"
Michael D - He had it!
Enforcer comes too and spots the carnage. He sees all the belts laying around and scoops them up. He begins to head back to his own ring with Lawrence Jarvis watching his back. The Bossman begins chasing them from behind by Jarvis hits him with the "Sensational Shot" superkick knocking him out. Enforcer makes it to the ring but looks up to see B-Pac and Seth Raide waiting in his ring. Enforcer climbs in the ring and the two men charge at him. Just as B-Pac is about to charge he is tripped up by Neo who snuck in behind him. Seth grabs a hold of Enforcer but Enforcer breaks free and hits him in the face with the Brutality title cutting him open. Seth begins to taste his blood and that only enrages him. He kicks Enforcer in the stomach and picks him up with all the belts and delivers a brain buster. The belts fall to the mat. Meanwhile, Neo picks up the ladder and hits B-Pac in the gut with it and then swings it at his head. It connects sending B-Pac out of the ring and to the floor next to Vain who is still out from the fall earlier. Seth turns to Neo and dropkicks the ladder back into his face knocking him down, just before Christian Wright sneaks past Jarvis. Christian Wright attacks Seth from behind and then body slams him on the ladder. He then climbs to the top rope and signals to splash Seth onto the ladder. He flies off but Jarvis pulls Seth off the ladder causing CW to land directly on the ladder with a crash!
Hank - OH MY! That could have broken some ribs! CW is in pain!
Michael D - Yea but smart move on Jarvis. He used saved and advesary only to injure another one!
Shayne Ryder makes is back to the Brutality title ring and spots Malakian heading down the opposite aisle. He jumps up on the guard wall and runs across Jeff Hardy style and clothesline Malakian before he can make it to the ring. Inside the ring, Enforcer has gotten up and sets up the ladder. Jarvis begins to pick up the title belts when Seth Raide gets to his feet and comes behind Jarvis. Enforcer shouts to Jarvis to warn him. Jarvis quickly turns and hits another superkick to Seth knocking him down and out. Ryder make it back to the ring and joins his teammates. Jarvis begins to climb the ladder and shouts to his team who all pick up a title belt. Enforcer, Neo & Ryder all look at the belts and then at eachother and nod. The each hand Jarvis a belt who attatches them to the cable. The Brutality title attatched, then the Trivia title...then finally...the International title! The bell rings ending round one of the match. Enforcers team has done it!
Hank - What a match!! But that's just the beginning! Now they must face eachother to capture the titles. What teamwork!
The officials begins to assist the wrestlers from the other teams and get them out of the rings, aisles or tables they may be in. A breif break of about 5 minutes takes place as things are readied for the second half of this match up!
The disqualified superstars head backstage as we follow a few of them, most of them disgruntled as hell, hurting and disgraced.
Hank- No matter which team wins tonight, some legends were just made, and some of them are walking to their locker rooms right now.
As officials are busy hanging the title belts above their rings, 'Cocky' hits as Christian Wright walks out with the International Championship. Wright does a little 'Flair strut', and gives the crowd a 'WHOO!' as his team members emerge begind him. The TV Champion, Johnny Vain, PKA and lingering in the background is the creepy Damien Brimstone. They approach their home ring and climb in. Christian Wright hands his title belt to the official who hooks it up to the cable sending it above their ring. As all the teams prepare for the opening bell, officials place a ladder under each title belt in the rings. They all give a ready sign and clear out as the bell rings officially starting the match.
Even Jarvis looks a little concearned as he looks down at Vain but that gives CW the chance to dropkick Jarvis over the top rope and outside next to Vain. CW sets up the ladder and climbs up. He grabs the Brutality title and jumps down to the ring. He begins to head back to his home ring. He gets there and is attacked by Enforcer who was waiting for him. Enforcer whips CW into the steel post. Enforcer picks up his Brutality title and is about to leave when PKA comes charging over and hits him from behind with both the International and Trivia title belts. Enforcer goes down and so does the title. PKA reaches down and picks up the third belt and now poses all three belts and looks up above his ring. The fans begin to go wild.
