(Darkness. As the silence lingers, a golden gleam of light pierces the silence. A gleam of light at the bottom of the darkness. It... it appears to be coming towards us quite slowly, yet, at the same time, at an alarming rate.)

V/O: "Tonight... Three titles...... and five of the greatest matches you'll ever see..... This... is... Live."

(BOOM! A picture of the WWA logo splashes on and off of the screen.)

V/O: "Tonight..... Can the determination of a Tigress stand up to the onslaught of a Three-Hundred Pound Moster!?"

(BOOM! Tigress Shot! Big Momma Bear still pic! BOOM! Back to the original darkness with logo.)

V/O: "Will Akira Shinju finally get a little revenge on The Manster!?"

(BOOM! Akira Shinju. BOOM! ‘The Manster’ Regan Wedge. BOOM!)

V/O: "Will Pablo O'Conner steal Backlash's hard earned NATV crown!?"

(BOOM! Pablo O'Conner. BOOM! Backlash. BOOM! As we return, the golden letters "WWA" can be clearly made out. They seem to be about halfway towards.)

V/O: "Can the Insane One, KrackerJak, wrest his first WWA Title from the grip of the great Logan McKenzie!?"

(BOOM! KrackerJak. BOOM! Logan McKenzie.)

V/O: "And.... in the match to end all matches can the darkness of Vyolynce eclipse the nova of The Babyface Brawler!?"

(BOOM! Vyolynce. BOOM! Babyface Brawler. BOOM! The letters "WWA" back away a bit... and with tremendous force, go flying towards the front of the screen!)

(BOOOOOOOOOOM!!!)

V/O: "TONIGHT!"

(The logo zooms off to the left of the screen, leaving behind it the sight and sound of forty thousand screaming fans. As the view changes to a ringside close-up, we can make out some of the signs. "If Foley is God, then Backlash and Vyolynce just went to the WWF!" The sign next to it points to it and says, "Damn you, Vince!" Another sign we see as we pan is a man with an arrow shaped sign that reads, "He’s a dick." The guy turns and looks at it and with flare in his eyes, really punches the guy right in the nose.)

MANNING: "Welcome everybody! We, at least, are LIve from Tokyo, Japan in what may very well be the greatest Live of all time!"

KNIGHT: "Too bad no one will see it for two weeks."

MANNING: "I'm sure no one will miss *you* at least, Sammy"

KNIGHT: "What are you talking about, Rich? I make Monday Night Live. Without me it'd be worse than an episode of Days of the Lives of the BotB"

MANNING: "Here we go again, another Kingsize tirade on the injustices of wrestling, I suppose?."

KNIGHT: *sigh* "It just hasn't been the same for the past few months, Rich. Too many Candadians......."

MANNING: "I'll never understand what you have against them, Sammy. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, you know?"

KNIGHT: "Just hit the music, Rich."

MANNING: "Whatever you say, Sammy."

(A large WWA graphic zooms back from the right side of the screen, pulling away the current view and leaving a new scene behind it. As it soars off to the left, a darkened ring appears. The silhouette of a man is standing in the center of it, an also-dark title belt. The camera slowly spins around the figure and moves closer as the fast beat of "Trust (instrumental)" by Megadeth begins to kick in. After three complete rotations, a gleam of light glares off the shoulder- hung title. The glare intensifies unexpectedly, blinding us. As the glare dissipates, the eyes of that man are brightly outlined and situated in the center of the screen. The main part of the song kicks in at this point and we're blasted to a montage of various World Wrestling Association wrestlers performing moves and a few clips of interviews. We see BFB landing his infamous Lullaby superkick on an unfortunate soul. Then, we witness Logan McKenzie's rising DDT, shortly followed by Vyolynce executing his variation of the inverted Indian deathlock submission, known as the Embrace of Darkness. Next, Rip Grimms hits the brainbuster suplex, Jerome Turner nails the top-rope 180-degree powerbomb, "Naturally Gifted" Peter Hand misses the moonsault frog splash, Deathblade plants someone with his cradle DDT, Havoc performs his Havoc Slam top-rope belly-to-belly, Al Perez speaks into a microphone during a close-up, Tigress locks on the Kat's Kradle inverted sleeper, The Rat twists an opponent over into the STF move called the Rodent's Revenge, and Heather Lowry comes down from the top rope with her Stormy Heather legdrop. Many, many scenes flash of every single WWA wrestler mouthing off in some form in the camera, most shots portraying their overall character. The music changes into a different version of the song, obviously originally made for this Monday Night Live montage. It begins to fade away, once again to the sound of a wild professional wrestling arena. And at last, the ever-changing! videos fade away and Sammy Knight and Rich Manning return.!)

Knight: "Let's just get on with this, Rich. The thought of all them Northerners is making me queezy."

Manning: "I think that might have been the seven, foot-long Chilly dogs you ate before you came out here."

Knight: "Can we just call this? Both Tigress and Big Momma Bear are already in the ring and waiting."

Manning: "Well we may as well do this, I gues. Referee Austin cooper is going to call this one..."

Knight: "Odd, I don't know why he's stuck with this women's match."

Manning: "He probably wants a break after all the stuff he's had to put up with lately.."

Knight: "Rubbish! I think that the WWA is trying to tell him that his time is up...."

["DING DING"]

Manning: "And we're away, Tigress quickly attacks with a few Kicks to Big Momma Bear's midsection. Tigress sure does looked pumped tonight.."

Knight: "No use kicking there Tigress, there's just too much of Momma Bear in *that* area..."

[Tigress lays a few more kicks and chops into BMB's midsection....]

Manning: "You're right, BMB just taking Tigress' attacks one after another, with no effect. BMB is smiling!...."

Knight: "I think that Tigress is fighting out of her weight division tonight..."

[BMB lunges at Tigress in an attempt to execute a bear hug. Tigress easily gets out of the way..]

Manning: "Well Tigress is certainly going to have to rely on her speed to win this one...."

Knight: "Tigress going after BMB again, this time with a...."

[Huge pop]

Manning: "Wow! What a huge jumping kick to the head by Tigress, I think she staggered the big 300 pounder..."

Knight: "I think the Bear is about to go back into hibernation..."

[BMB is somewhat staggered after the big kick to the head received from Tigress, Tigress heads into the ropes....]

Manning: "Wow! Big missile dropkick by Tigress.... BMB is down..."

Knight: "Did you hear the ground shake?"

Manning: "Tigress closing in now, she's going for something here..."

Knight: "It's called a half crab you idiot! I don't know how she hoisted up those tree trunks, but she's got it on..."

Manning: "Cooper asking Tigress to release the hold now... She seems somewhat hesitant..."

Knight: "Gee, I don't think we've seen Tigress this aggressive since she first come into the WWA... Maybe she's trying to become an 'Anti-hero' like that loser BFB..."

Manning: "Well what is an anti-hero anyway?.. Tigress has still got the hold on...."

[As Cooper gets to four Tigress releases the hold...]

Knight: "BMB is down.... I don't know how she's going to get up... SOMEBODY CALL A CRANE!!"

Manning: "Calm down Sammy, BMB up now and she don't look too happy... "

[BMB manages to get hold of Tigress and whips her into the ropes...]

Manning: "BMB goes for the big boot off the ropes, Tigress manages to get out of the way..."

Knight: "Behind you Momma!"

Manning: "Tigress hits BMB with a few kicks from behind... Gee, she sure looks fiery tonight.."

Knight: "Well, when you're 200 pounds lighter than your opponent you've gotta' be in the zone..."

Manning: "BMB turns around, but Tigress is relentless with her attacks. Oh, BMB grabbing Tigress around the neck now..."

Knight: "Oh oh!"

["BANG"]

Manning: "My!!! What a huge chokeslam by BMB, Tigress was up there for an eternity..."

Knight: "No! No! Get out of there Tigress.."

Manning: "Doesn't matter Sammy, Tigress is close to the ropes now, she should be able to get to the outside for a breather..."

Knight: "BMB trying to drag Tigress back into the center of the ring by her leg..."

Manning: "Well, she's doing it easily, I think that big chokeslam really hurt Tigress..."

[Huge pop]

Knight: "I'm not so sure now, Tigress with a big boot to the head of BMB with her free leg..."

Manning: "Manning, well Tigress is free now, she's making her way out of the ring. Looks like she needs to have a little breather..."

Knight: "I don't know, look at her eyes, she's coming out here for a reason..."

[BMB sluggishly follows Tigress out of the ring. Tigress makes her way to the steel steps and grabs something...]

Manning: "Did you see that? They looked like brass knuckles or something.."

Knight: "Well *I* didn't see it, and I don't think that BMB did either..."

Manning: "OUCH! Tigress nailing BMB on square in the face with those brass knuckles.... I don't think that referee Austin Cooper saw that..."

Knight: "I don't know, but I do know that BMB is down again..."

Manning: "Tigress ditches the foreign object, she's up on the apron now..."

[Pop]

Manning: "WOW! Huge elbow drop there by Tigress, BMB is in trouble..."

Knight: "BMB sprawled across the ground, CALL THE CRANE!!"

Manning: "Tigress looking under the ring, what is she doing now?"

Knight: "I don't know, but I like these new tactics of Tigress..."

Manning: "Looks like she's got a steel tray or something, She won't want to use that though, Cooper is looking straight at her..."

Knight: "Tigress moving in.. DAMN! She just put the steel tray down.."

Manning: "She obviously wants to do some damage tonight, but she can't go and get DQ'd..."

[Tigress moves in on BMB and grabs her ankle...]

Manning: "She's going for the ankle lock submission now..."

Knight: "Look at her eyes!"

Manning: "Austin Cooper telling Tigress to break the hold now, she won't do it."

Knight: "She *will* get DQ'd if she's not careful..."

Manning: "Tigress releasing the hold now, any longer and Cooper would have asked for the bell..."

Knight: "Tigress helping BMB to her feet now, she rolls her into the ring..."

Manning: "Tigress still on the apron, WOW! She uses the ropes to catapult herself high into the air."

Knight: "WHAAAT!! She turned it into a 450 splash...."

Manning: "What a move! Tigress going for the cover now..."

[1.....]

[2.....]

[KICKOUT]

Manning: "A near fall there, Tigress pulling BMB to her feet....."

Knight: "Some more powerful kicks by Tigress, she's in the zone..."

Manning: "Tigress staggering BMB now, she hoists her into the ropes..."

Knight: "I don't know how the hell she managed that!"

Manning: "Tigress and BMB bounce off the ropes now, they're on a collision course!"

[A small pop]

Manning: "What a shoulder block by BMB! I think that Tigress was going for a drop kick or something..."

Knight: "Did you see how far back Tigress bounced! It was like a train wreck!"

Manning: "BMB getting Tigress up now, she throws her in the direction of a turnbuckle..."

[A huge "The ref go knocked out" pop]

Knight: "Oh! BMB just sent Tigress flying into referee Cooper! He's out cold.."

Manning: "It doesn't seem to have phased BMB, she closes in on Tigress..."

Knight: "BMB charging at Tigress now..."

Manning: "OUCH! Tigress gets out of the way and BMB ploughs into the turnbuckle and lands on top of the unconscious ref...."

Knight: "That poor man!! CALL THE CRANE!!!"

Manning: "Tigress going to the outside again, she throws the steel tray into the ring.."

Knight: "And the brass knuckles... She's looking for more stuff under the ring as well!"

Manning: "Tigress has found some sort of steel rod too! She throws that into the ring along with her other toys and makes her way back into the ring..."

Knight: "Tigress picks up the steel tray and moves in on BMB."

["CRACK"]

Manning: "OH MY! BMB was only just thinking about getting up as Tigress wrapped that steel tray around her head..."

["CRACK"]

Knight: "Yeehaa! Another tray shot..."

Manning: "Tigress going for BMB's leg, she's obviously trying to keep her down where she has the advantage...."

Knight: "More devastation! Tigress stomping BMB now. This is good!.."

Manning: "Well I don't know what the fans are thinking. This is certainly a different Tigress that they have come to know and love..."

Knight: "She's thrown the tray down... She's getting the steel pipe!!!"

Manning: "She's crazy! What is she going to do next?"

Knight: "Tigress sitting on BMB's back now, she's choking her with that steel pipe!"

Manning: "BMB is in real trouble, I don't know how long she can last with that pipe wrapped around her neck..."

Knight: "Look, if you step into a wrestling ring, you've gotta expect to take some punishment..."

Manning: "But not like this! Tigress is crazy!"

[Tigress drops the steel pipe, picks up the tray and makes her way to the closest corner...]

Manning:"Tigress going to the top rope now. This could be the end on BMB's career here..."

[A loud "OOOOH" is heard]

Manning: "TIGRESS JUST LEGDROPPED BMB!!!! WHILE PLACING THAT STEEL TRAY UNDER HER LEG!!!!!"

Knight: "WOW!!!!!! WHAT A MOVE!!!!"

Manning: "This is sickening.... I sure hope the ref gets up soon..."

Knight: "Don't be such an old woman! This is what the fans come to see!"

Manning: "Well, I highly doubt that Sammy. Anyway, Tigress strapping on those brass knuckles now..."

Knight: "Hurry up Tigress, I think the ref is coming to!"

Manning: "You're right Sammy! It looks like he is beginning to move now..."

Knight: "Tigress with some nice shots to BMB's leg using those brass knuckles...."

Manning: "Referee Austin Cooper to his feet now, he looks shaken..."

Knight: "Tigress smartly throws the brass knuckles away, who said she couldn't be a good heel?"

Manning: "BMB still down... She hasn't been up for the last few minutes."

Knight: "It's curtains, make the pin Tigress, make the pin..."

Manning: "Tigress continues to stomp BMB's right knee here. I don't think that she'll be able to walk after this..."

Knight: "It's amazing that she does anyway with all that extra baggage she carries...."

Manning: "Tigress trying to roll BMB onto her stomach now. BMB is so dazed, I don't think she knows what's going on..."

Knight: "Tigress is putting the half crab on now...."

Manning: "OH MY!!! She's turned it into an STF!!!"

Knight: "Look at BMB writhe in pain!!! Tigress has potential!"

Manning:" You are sick Sammy! Tigress has an inverted STF locked tightly on BMB..."

Knight: "She's gotta give up after this..."

Manning: "No! BMB lunges for the ropes. Cooper tells Tigress to break the hold..."

Knight: "You're wasting your time. She won't break the hold..."

Manning: "Tigress still with that vicious hold on BMB. Tigress sure is playing dirty tonight..."

Knight: "Oh damn it... Tigress has been made to break the hold now..."

Manning: "Tigress looks like she's going for another submission move now. BMB is helpless..."

Knight: "Yes! She's put the sleeper hold on BMB..."

Manning: "I don't know what Tigress is trying to prove her. Maybe she's sending a message to her opponent at clash of champions Evelynn...."

[All of the sudden a clown appears in the aisle making his way to the ring...]

Knight: "Who the hell is that?"

Manning: "It looks like a clown or something. He's sneaking his way to the ring!"

[A spotlight shines on the clown as he makes his way to the ring like he's trying to sneak up. He constantly looks behind him to be sure that he isn't seen.]

Knight: "This guy kinda reminds me of the Repo Man the way he's coming out here.."

Manning: "What's that he's got over his shoulder? It's a bag or something..."

Knight: "It's his bag of tricks! Look, that's what it says!"

Manning: "Tigress has released the hold on BMB, she's talking to Cooper now..."

Knight: "I think she wants to see what this strange clown is going to do..."

[The clown makes his way up onto the apron and gets BMB's attention. Although she is barely conscious, her eyes light up when she says him..]

Manning: "The clown making his way to BMB now..."

Knight: "Look! He's showing her that nice flower he has on his shirt..."

Manning: "NO!!!!! HE JUST SPRAYED SOMETHING IN BMB's EYES!!"

Knight: "It looked like some kind of red mist..."

Manning: "BMB still in big trouble, Tigress is still over talking to the ref. He didn't see a thing!"

Knight: "Tigress moving in for the cover now.."

[1........]

[2........]

[3........]

["DING DING"]

Brooks: "Your winner, Tiiiiggggrrreeeeeeessssss...."

[The fans start to boo her...]

Manning: "Well I must say that this is certainly odd..."

Knight: "Well there are a few things that must change when you are an anti-hero. Looks like Tigress has already lost the support of a few fans..."

Manning: "The clown isn't finished... He's into the ring now..."

Knight: "He just reached into his bag, I think that he's got some brass knuckles of his own!"

Manning: "Tigress turns around now..."

[Tigress goes to get up but the clown nails Tigress square in the forehead, taking her clean off her feet....]

Manning: "Oh my lord!!! Tigress is out cold!"

Knight: "Now look, he's doing a little dance in the ring..."

Manning: "I can't believe what has happened during this match.."

Knight: "And now we've got a dancing clown to top it off!"

[The clown continues to dance for a while before leaving the ring...]

Manning: "The clown just tossed his bag of tricks under the ring there. What is this all about?"

Knight: "I think he plans to use them again..."

Manning: "Well fans, I can't believe what has just unfolded here. We'll call for some stretchers as we take you to this break...."

!!!WARNING!!!**********************COMMERCIALS*************************!!!WARNING!!!
(Before Rich can finish, he is cut off by a fade out [usually it’s Sammy’s job to get cut off by the show :-)]. We fade into a plain manila-colored screen with the words "Help Wanted!" etched across it. The words fade out and new ones fade in, reading, "Please! We need more commercials!" Fade out.)

!!!SAFETY!!!*********************COMMERCIALS END************************!!!SAFETY!!!

MANNING: "Where do these ads keep coming from?"

KNIGHT: "Y'know, I'm beginning to warm to this Goat character. [Catching sideways glance from Manning] Not in that way, Rich."

MANNING: "Moving past Sammy's strange animal obsession (and I think we all want to do so) let's go to ringside.

["Superbeast" by Rob Zombie is heard throughout the arena. Into the entranceway step the Wedge brothers, Reagan and Willy, wearing the stolen WWA tag-team belts. As soon as they step out of the entrance way, they do their secret hand shake, which goes as followed:

Clinched fists hit up and down,
Open hands slap side to side,
Shake hands with the left then the right,
Point at each other,
Fake Headbutt to the left then the right,
Collide chests.
They then proceed to the ring.]

TORI: "Making his way down to the ring, accompanied by his brother, Willy, from The green mountain forest of Vermont, at 5'8" and 180 pounds, 'The Manster' REAGAN WEEEEEEEEEEEEEDGE!"

[The few Canadians (and I mean very few) in the crowd go wild but the rest of the audience boos heavily.]

MANNING: "It doesn't seem as though the Wedge Brothers are particularly over in this part of the world."

KNIGHT: "What do you expect, they're Canadians. The only time you ever see a Canadian get over is when they're bent over and-"

[Rich almost has a heart attack and dives at Sammy, snatching his headset away. Unfortunately for Rich, Sammy is still a very big man and proves this by beginning to strangle the straight caller. Since this now renders the match without American commentary, I shall cut to the Spanish announcers desk until the disturbance is resolved.]

SANCHEZ: [Translated from Spanish] "I just don't feel safe here, Miguel."

MIGUEL: [Also translated from Spanish] "Aw c'mon, Sanchez. You're so damn paranoid about being this close to the ring. I told you, this isn't the WWF. We'll be safe here. Trust me."

SANCHEZ: "If you say so, Miguel. Let's go back to El senorita Tori for El Senor Manster's opponent."

TORI: "And his opponent, a member of Best of the Best, he is one half of the WWA tag team Champions! Hailing from New York, he stands at 5'11" and weighs 215pounds."

["Fight Back," by Misconduct booms out of the P.A. About 30 seconds into it, the song really takes off. As this happens Akira comes charging down to the ring. As he passes through the entrance fireworks and pyrotechnics go off with a loud boom. He sprints towards the ring. Followed by a trail of fireworks that go off one after another, keeping up with him until he is nearly there. He leaps forward into the ring, sliding on his stomach. He gets up and proceeds to shake the ropes with great intensity. He climbs each turnbuckle and signals to the crowd. He then goes to the centre of the ring. He charges into the ropes and bounces off with great speed. He then does his "Katana's Edge" to an imaginary opponent. Just as the move would hit it's target, a series of fireworks go off from each corner of the ring. After his theme music goes off. He removes his spiked elbow and kneepads and puts them in his corner. Something different about Akira this week is the bandages and surgical tape on his face. Clearly he still has some healing to do since his title defence last week.]

TORI: "Here is, AKIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRAAAAAAA!"

MIGUEL: "Show-donkey."

SANCHEZ: "You stop that, Miguel. Akira is a man who truly deserves the attention he's been getting lately. A singles win over a more experienced wrestler like El Senor Manster could really establish him as a singles competitor as well."

MIGUEL: "Never mind that crap, we're underway."

SACHEZ: "Akira with a running drop kick and Reagan's down. Akira is yelling to the fans now but since we're in Japan, they don't have a clue as to what he's saying."

MIGUEL: "Sanchez&ldots; We don't have a clue about what he's saying either."

SANCHEZ: "Yeah, well. The crowd is getting into it anyway and Akira is feeding off their energy. He now has Reagan up against the ropes. Irish Whip by Akira, Reagan bounces back and ducks a clothesline, he comes back again and ducks another clothesline. He now goes for a clothesline of his own but Akira sees it coming and outdoes the Manster with a Drop-toe hold instead."

[Crowd goes "YAY!" (In Japanese, of course.)]

SANCHEZ: "Akira going to the top turnbuckle now, I'm not sure if this is wise&ldots;"

MIGUEL: "What does Akira know about wisdom?"

SANCHEZ: "Akira now with a flying Cross-Body block and Reagan ducks! Akira hit the mat."

MIGUEL: "I told you so!"

SANCHEZ: "The Manster now going to the top rope and he hits with a missile dropkick- Reagan in control now. Reagan now lifts up Akira and DDT! Right on the top of Akira's head. Akira's staggering to his feet. Irish Whip by Reagan. Akira bounces back and HITS REAGAN WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK! REAGAN'S DOWN!"

MIGUEL: "You felt the need to yell that?"

SANCHEZ: "Yes, it has been a bit of a slow match. Oh well, these Americans, hey?"

MIGUEL: "But Akira is half Asian."

SANCHEZ: "Well&ldots; Yeah."

MIGUEL: "And The Manster is from Vermont. Do you even pay attention?"

SANCHEZ: "Leave me alone. I'm trying to call this match."

MIGUEL: "Reagan now has the advantage, he's got Akira up for a Suplex but he drops him face-first out of the ring instead! That's what I like to see- innovation."

SANCHEZ: "Akira is rolling around, half under the apron and Reagan is preparing for a slingshot. He goes over and-"

[SWOCK!]

SANCHEZ: "What the hell? Akira just pulled a tennis racket out from under the ring and nailed The Manster with it!"

MIGUEL: "Luv that Akira."

SANCHEZ: "Akira, now leaning a groggy Manster up against the security rail while he climbs onto the apron. He's signalling to the fans and he jumps with a Plancha-"

MIGUEL: "And misses! Reagan moved out of the way, leaving Akira hung over the rail. That's what show-boating will get you."

SANCHEZ: "Reagan Wedge is now standing on the apron and he goes for a Plancha on the still hanging Akira."

MIGUEL: "He gets it! Akira in real trouble now."

SANCHEZ: "Hey, what ever happened to the count out rule?"

MIGUEL: "Doesn't matter. Reagan is rolling Shinju into the ring now anyway. He's going for a pin-"

1,

2,

KICKOUT!

SANCHEZ: "Akira's not out yet. He's slowly getting to his feet. Reagan now laying into Akira's already bandaged face with lefts and rights. There's some blood seeping though that bandage."

MIGUEL: "That's more like it!"

SANCHEZ: "Wedge is now Irish Whipping Akira into the corner. He runs in- but Akira dodges! Akira now landing some lightning chops to the chest of Wedge and now with an Irish Whip of his own. Reagan hits the turnbuckle and staggers back out, only to be met with- A HURRICANRANA! Akira just landed a hurricanrana on The Manster. This could be it."

1,

2,

KICKOUT!

MIGUEL: "The Manster is up now and they're exchanging blows. Manster with a kick downstairs, backing Akira into the ropes. Manster now with a running dropkick- Akira's over, but not out- he's hanging onto the apron. Wedge now running at Akira- but he gets Wedge with a-"

CRAAAAASSSHHHHH!!!

[Akira Backdrops The Manster onto the Spanish announcer's desk, annihilating both it and the announcers. It is at this point that Rich Manning and Sammy Knight regain control of the commentary.]

MANNING: [With a rumpled and torn suit on.] "Well, we're back now."

KNIGHT: "And let that be a lesson to you."

MANNING: "Akira is still on the apron and Reagan's lying amongst what's left of the Spanish announcer's desk. Wait! Akira's jumping up onto the second rope- MOONSAULT TO THE OUTSIDE!"

KNIGHT: "And that idiot just missed Reagan and crashed into the Spanish Wreckage instead. Moron."

MANNING: "Akira certainly is wrestling with a lot more intensity tonight. He's really pushing those high-risk manoeuvres."

KNIGHT: "Good for him. If he wants to cut his career in half for the sake of impressing the fans then I won't be the first to stop him."

MANNING: "The Manster is up now. And he's signalling to Willy. Willy is picking Akira up on his shoulders while Reagan Wedge climbs to the top turnbuckle. I think we're going to see a Doomsday Device on the outside folks, I can't watch!"

[The crowd explodes!]

KNIGHT: "Then watch this, Rich. Latin Loser and The Babyface Brawler just ran down to the ring, and they're beating on Willy! YES! KILL THE CANADIAN!"

MANNING: "Akira has jumped into the ring. Y'know, that run in by Al Perez and the World Champ actually saved Reagan from being disqualified."

KNIGHT: "I'm not sure if he appreciates it right now. Akira is pounding on The Manster's ass. (Another popular Canadian pasti-OOMPH!"

MANNING: "Well, Al Perez just fell on the Kingsized one so that leaves me flying solo for a while."

KNIGHT: "Flying solo? Now that is a popular Canadian pastime!"

MANNING: "Great, you're back already. We've got BFB fighting with Willy Wedge, we've got Latin Lightning draped over the commentary desk and we've got The Manster lying on a table in the middle of the ring while Akira gives the sign for the "Anime Aerosault." This is madness!"

[The Crowd goes nuts for Akira and then goes nuts for another reason. Just before he leaps, Akira is smashed on the back of the head by Wade Benson with an "Acme Bull$%it Hammer."]

DING, DING, DING!

MANNING: "What the hell!?"

TORI: "Here is your winner, by way of a disqualification, AAAAAKIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRAAAAAAAA!

KNIGHT: "Too bad Akira is too unconscious to enjoy his win. He's making a habit of that."

MANNING: "And BFB and LL are chasing Wade back to the locker room, allowing The Wedge Brothers to escape with the belts again."

WADE: "WHOOOOOOSH! ZOOOOOOOOM! FLUUUUUUUUUUSH!"

[Akira, woken up by his victory music, slowly begins to stand. He calls for a microphone.]

AKIRA: "Look who's the worst of the worst now pal. I had you beaten anyway, DQ or not!"

[Pop]

AKIRA: "You want to keep those belts, then you've got to earn them. Even though I despise you, your effort tonight has proved that somewhere, in your lousy, overweight Vermonter body, you have some talent..."

[Anticipation pop]

AKIRA: "So I tell you what, you want to really own those belts? Well, you'll have to beat us to get them!"

[Pop]

AKIRA: "You want a rematch for the titles? THEN YOU GOT IT!"

[HUUUGE POP]

AKIRA: "This time, a ladder match."

[Another huge pop]

AKIRA: "Belts high above the ring, and only the winners will be able to walk out of this ring with them." [Pauses] Don't let me down boys, I'm just dying for the challenge.

*******COMMERCIAL***********
[We see a shot of a bunch of kids, sitting at a birthday party, they are all bored. Suddenly, an annoying, male voice is heard.]

VOICE: "Hey kids! Don't you love birthdays?"

KIDS: "Nah. Birthday parties suck."

VOICE: "Aw, c'mon kids. What's wrong with birthday parties?"

KIDS: "They're boring."

VOICE: "Well, not any more. Now you can liven up any dull social event or family gathering by organising a paid appearance by&ldots; The Goat!"

[Suddenly, the doors of the party open up and KrackerJak's manager, The Goat trots in on cloven hooves, wearing his Harvard tie.]

VOICE: "Be the envy of all your friends by having The Goat at your next birthday party. Call 'Bollocks inc." to order an appearance by The Goat&ldots; Now!"

[Cheesy party music plays as the 'Bollocks inc. logo (use your imagination) appears on the screen. A small child pulls on The Goat's goatee beard and the camera manages to catch The Goat savagely goring the child with his horns before the commercial fades out.]
***********END**OF**COMMERCIAL*****

(The camera returns to the arena, where the Japanese crowd is utterly silent, in stark cultural contrast to the States and Europe. The only sign that can be seen on this pass, written in English, reads "Are the Time Zone differences responsible for why Live sometimes is broadcast on Sunday or Friday?" We return to Rich and Sammy at ringisde just in time to see Sammy spitting out some sushi.)

KNIGHT: "Blech! This stuff isn't even cooked!"

MANNING: "It's not *supposed* to be... oh, nevermind. Fans, we have a great Cruiserweight title defense coming up next, featuring a rematch of sorts from CCoC4."

KNIGHT (still making choking and gagging noises): "Hopefully Pablo will win the belt and shut Jobberwocky the hell up."

MANNING: "Well, even if he does, Backlash still has the NATV belt he won from Havoc last week."

KNIGHT: "Last week? Seems like only yesterday..."

MANNING: "It's the jet-lag, I think."

KNIGHT: "Must be."

("Girl From The Ipomena" plays over the P.A. to a good sized pop.)

BROOKS: "Introducing first... accompanied by Stephanie... from Groves, Texas... at 5’10" and 185 pounds, here is `UP ALL NIGHT’ PABLO O’CONNOR!"

(Out walks Pablo O’Connor, a smug look on his face. He is well-conditioned though not a large man by any means. He wears a black T-shirt with a black muscle shirt over it, black jogging pants with black shorts over them, black tennis shoes and black elbowpads. His long hair extends down to the middle of his back, though most of it is kept tied in a ponytail, save a few loose strands that fall before his face. His valet and sidekick, Stephanie, follows behind him.)

KNIGHT: "Why are they bringing sponges to ringside?"

MANNING: "Must be the whole 'Cobra Kamazo water fetish' thing."

KNIGHT: "Yeah, well they're gonna need more than sponges to keep Kamazo from kicking their asses when he gets his hands on them. Pablo cost Cobra his match last week, and he lost to *The Manster* for chrissake, so you *know* Cobra's pissed."

MANNING: "Well, I haven't seen Kamazo in the building, so it looks like revenge is going to have to wait a week or so."

(As Pablo and Stephanie enter the ring and Pablo begins his pre-match warm-ups, an instrumental Oriental song plays over the P.A. to a very big pop [after all, this *is* the Orient].)

BROOKS: "And his opponent... from Mexico City, Mexico... at 6’1" and 230 pounds... he is the WWA Cruiserweight Champion AND the WWA NATV Champion (and, amazingly enough, NOT an [official] member of Best of the Best)... here is BACKLASH `THE SANGUINARY’!"

(A pyro display of red and orange fireworks goes off as Backlash steps out from the curtain. He wears a redish/orange mask that has black bengel stripes on it, redish/orange trunks, and black boots. He has one of his championship belts draped over each shoulder, which, while a far cry from Ultimo Dragon's lugging around all 7 belts of the J-Crown, is still fairly impressive.)

KNIGHT: "Hasn't he been instructed to vacate one of those yet?"

MANNING: "Apparently with this match already being scheduled to take place, the WWA Officials decided to let him keep both for a while; Backlash has an NATV defense next week against an as-yet-unmaned opponent, plus the upcoming also-still-unnmaed pay-per-view on the 28th to worry about, so it's not like he's getting any time to enjoy his victories (and one draw)."

KNIGHT: "The guy certainly is clogging up the scheudle with his ugly mug, isn't he?"

MANNING: "Well, it's not like we can blame him."

KNIGHT: "Why can't I? I'm 'Kingsize' Sammy Knight! I can do whatever the Hell I want to!"

(Backlash enters the ring and hands senior referee Austin Cooper the CW belt, placing the NATV belt in his corner. Stephanie and Tori leave the ring and this thing gets started.)

*DING! DING!*

KNIGHT: "Hey, Pablo, keep your eyes on Tori Brooks! You saw what she did last week!"

MANNING: "I wonder... was that her finally openly showing the favoritism toward BFB and BotB of which she's been accused by so many, or was she just teaching Josh Ritter a lesson for his fantasizing about her?"

KNIGHT: "Good question, Richie. Of course, since she's a chick, it could've just been a hormonal thing."

MANNING (in a "fine print" type of voice): "The views and opinions of Sammy Knight do not -- in ANY way -- represent the views of the WWA or anyone else affiliated with this broadcast."

(Meanwhile, back in the ring, Pablo blindsided Backlash witha flying forearm, sending the dual champion to the mat!)

MANNING (noticing this): "Whoah! Pablo starts this off early!"

KNIGHT: "Attacking from behind! I love it!"

MANNING: "Pablo following up with a standing leg drop, but Backlash rolls out of the way. Both men quickly get back to their feet, and this time Backlash sends PAblo to the mat with a spinning heel kick!"

KNIGHT: "Also known as 'generic cruiserweight move #3'."

MANNING: "Number three? What are the other two?"

KNIGHT: "Moonsault and Hurricanrana/Head Scissors takedown."

MANNING: "Not every cruiserweight uses those."

KNIGHT: "True, but enough of them do."

MANNING: "Ok... Backlash gets in a couple of quick stomps before Pablo gets back up."

KNIGHT: "They don't call him 'Up All Night' for nothing!"

MANNING: "Who's 'they'?"

KNIGHT: "Ummm..."

MANNING (not really interested in the answer, just trying to shut Sammy up for a bit): "Backlash not looking to let Pablo recover too much, picking him up for a big knee breaker."

(Pablo rolls around on the mat for a bit, holding his knee. Stephanie does her best to cheer her man on from the floor.)

MANNING: "It looks like that move really hurt Pablo, and Backlash is... leaving the ring?!"

KNIGHT: "That coward!"

MANNING: "No, he's stopping on the apron. Austin Cooper laying in the count, but Backlash is keeping his eyes on Pablo. Pablo hobbles up to his feet, and Backlash slingshots himself off the top rope!"

KNIGHT: "Pablo caught him with a dropkick! He was playing 'possum!"

MANNING: "Backlash got dropkicked right out of the air, and Pablo closing in with stomps to the knee!"

KNIGHT: "That's the knee that Vyolynce had beat on a couple of weeks ago!"

MANNING: "Maybe Pablo thinks it hasn't fully healed yet? As far as I can tell it has."

KNIGHT: "Not if Pablo keeps this up!"

MANNING: "Pablo signlaing for a figure-four, but Backlash manages to kick him off and send him head-first into the turnbuckle!"

KNIGHT: "Smart move by Backlash."

MANNING: "Backlash rolls to his feet, and PAblo staggers out backwards from the corner. He turns around, AND BACKLASH PLANTS HIM WITH A TILT-A-WHIRL POWERBOMB!"

(Big pop!)

MANNING: "Cover!"

(One!)

(Two!)

(Th--)

MANNING: "Pablo gets the left arm up, but he's still dazed by the impact. Backlash in a martial arts stance, taunting Pablo to get up."

KNIGHT: "He should be kicking the man when he's down."

MANNING: "I think he's gonna wait for him to get up before kicking him, Sammy! Pablo gets up, and Backlash sends a thrust kick straight at Pablo's heart-- no! Pablo catches it!"

KNIGHT: "I wouldn't hold that foot if I were--"

MANNING: "Enziguri by Backlash knocks the eyes out of Pablo's head!"

KNIGHT: "Nevermind. Too late."

MANNING: "Backlash not going for the cover, instead heading to the top rope again!"

KNIGHT: "He better follow this up with something big!"

MANNING: "Backlash.. WITH A TWISTING SOMERSAULT SENTON SPLASH! What agility!"

(HUGE pop!)

KNIGHT: "They'll be scraping Pablo 'up all night' after that one!"

MANNING: "Didn't you use that joke before?"

KNIGHT: "I don't remember. It's stil la good one, though."

MANNING: "True. Cover by Backlash! The leg is hooked!"

(ONE!)

(TWO!)

(THREE!)

(Big pop!)

KNIGHT: "That was easy."

MANNING: "Baclash raising his hands in victory, but Austin Cooper is waving it off?! he's pointing to Pablo's leg, which his hanging there limply from the bottom rope!"

(The pop becomes slightly confused.)

KNIGHT: "Hey, Stephanie must've pulled Pablo's leg onto the ropes! God knows Pablo wasn't moving after that one!"

MANNING: "You're right, Sammy! We couldn't see that because the guys in the ring were in the way, but look at the replay from the other angle:"

(The replay shows Stephanie reaching under the bottom rope while Backlash was watching Austin Cooper's 3-count, grabbing Pablo's leg and draping it on the bottom rope before waving frantically at the referee to get his attention.)

MANNING: "Stephanie jsut saved this match for Pablo!"

KNIGHT: "But Backlash isn't as dumb as he looks and talks! I think he's figured out what happened, and he doesn't look happy!

MANNING: "He's going out after Stephanie! Stephanie takes off in a panic!"

KNIGHT: "Rightfully so."

MANNING: "And Backlash giving persuit! They're running circles around the ring, and Austin Cooper is laying in the count!"

KNIGHT: "Uh-oh! Backlash caught up with Steaphanie!"

MANNING: "He's gonna hit Stephanie!"

(The crowd boos this, thus cementing Backlash's position as being "neutral.")

KNIGHT: "This is what she gets for sticking her nose in the match!"

MANNING: "LOOK OUT! INCOMING PABLO!"

(Pablo has recivered while the chase was going on, and sees Stephanie being threatened by Backlash. Something apparently snaps in him, and he HURLS himself at Backlash with a no-hands suicide dive! Stephanie manages to get out of the way just as Pablo makes impact, crashing Backlash in to the ground. The crowd gives a huge pop as Pablo sends a seried of punches at Backlash's masked head.)

KNIGHT: "Whoah! Major adrenaline rush for Pablo!"

MANNING: "Pablo is irate and clearly in his second wind as he tosses Backlash back into the ring. Pablo's going up top! Moonsault connects! Pablo hooks the leg!"

(ONE!)

(TWO!)

(THREE...)

(...inches from the mat is where Austin Cooper's hand stops.)

MANNING: "Folks, we were mere seconds away from a new Cruiserweight champion!"

KNIGHT: "Pablo doesn't seem to care, though! He hasn't come down from that rush yet!"

MANNING: "Backlash being picked up by the hair, and DROPPED on his head with a double-arm DDT! Pablo goes to the inside second rope, and comes off with an elbow to the knee! And another elbow while he was getting up after landing!"

KNIGHT: "Nice sequence there, Pablo; follow it up!"

MANNING: "Pablo grabbing Backlash's weakened knee, and he turns the champ over in a half-crab! This could be it! Austi Cooper in position, but Backlash is furiously waving him off!"

KNIGHT: "How many beatings like this can that guy's knee take? He's gonna have a permanent limp before he turns 30!"

MANNING: "Pablo really leaning back and sinching this hold in, pouring on the pressure!"

(The crowd begins booing for no apparent reason, until the cameras catch Cobra Kamazo approaching the ringside area... with a large bucket.)

KNIGHT: "I thought you said he wasn't in the building!"

MANNING: "I said I haven't *seen* him!"

KNIGHT: "This can't be good for Pablo and Steph!"

MANNING: "Pablo sees him coming, but is reluctant to break the hold! What a choice for Pablo, as Kamazo APPROACHES STEPHANIE!"

KNIGHT: "She certainly is popular tonight, isn't she?"

MANNING: "Stephanie standing up to him, and throws a sponge in his face!"

KNIGHT: "That probably wasn't very smart."

MANNING: "KAMAZO DOUSES STEPHANIE WITH THAT BUCKET OF WATER!"

KNIGHT: "Told ya."

MANNING: "Now Pablo breaks the hold and rushes to the ropes--"

KNIGHT: "Kamazo was redy for him!"

MANNING: "Kamazo just clocked Pablo in the head with that empty bucket! Austin Cooper was checking on Backlash and didn't see it!"

KNIGHT: "Boy, that guy isn't very sharp tonight, is he?"

MANNING: "Pablo staggering around... Backlash hopping on one leg, CATCHES PABLO WITH A MANDIBLE CLAW!"

KNIGHT: "Does Backlash have the strength to pull this off with a bum wheel?"

MANNING: "YES HE DOES! MANDIBLE SLAM!"

(ONE!)

(TWO!)

(THREE!)

(HUGE [but mixed] pop.)

*DING! DING! DING!*

BROOKS: "Here is your winner and STILL WWA Cruiserweight Champion, BACKLASH!"

(Backlash snatches the belt from Tori Brooks and returns, limping slightly, to the backstage area, holding both belts up high. Pablo eventually recovers and gets a large towel to cover up the shivering, water-drenched Stephanie as they return to the back together.)

MANNING: "Another great contest--"

KNIGHT: "And Kamazo gets his payback!"

MANNING: "The issue between Pablo O'Connor and Cobra Kamazo certainly isn't settled yet. Fans, we'll be right back with what should be an... interesting International Title defense as Logan McKenzie takes on tha Mad Bastard himself, KrackerJak! Stay with us!"

KNIGHT (as the camera pans away): "Rich! You said 'bastard!' I'm so proud of you!"

*******COMMERCIAL***********
Two men are sitting at a table. Cheezy 70's ad music is playing in the background. Both men have a can of cola in front of them. Guy #1 is an average looking joe, wearing a "Nothing Else Matters!" t-shirt. He picks up the can infront of him, labeled with the colorful logo of the World Wrestling Association, and takes a sip. MMMMMMMMMM. His face is covered with the satified look of cool refreshment. Guy #2 is a pimple ridden nerdmo in coke bottle glasses, wearing a "Hackerz Unite!" t-shirt. He picks up the can infront of him, labled with the exxxtreme hardcore logo of Whoop Ass Wrestling, and takes a sip. He gags from its disgusting flavor, but forces himself to swallow the swill. He seems okay for a couple of seconds, but then BAM!

His face turns green. His head spins in 360 rotations. Vomit starts spewing out of his mouth. Then his head explodes all over the set. His headless corpse falls on to the table, now covered in his own blood and puke.

V/O: WWA...EXPERIENCE THE DIFFERENCE!!!
***********END**OF**COMMERCIAL*****

MANNING: "And welcome back, folks. Coming up next we have the insane one&ldots;&ldots;"

KNIGHT: "It’s a damn disgrace if you ask me&ldots;.."

MANNING: "Again no one does, Sammy. Like I was saying&ldots;.."

KNIGHT: "No&ldots;&ldots; back in my day you wouldn’t get an upstart like this KrackerJak getting a match of this stature. You had to earn your title shots in the school of hard knocks&ldots;&ldots;"

MANNING: "Just look at the guy, Sammy, he’s taken more knocks than just about anyone. With the exception of Big Daddy Superstar last week, just about all of his opponents have kicked his a$$!"

KNIGHT: "Exactly! How can this guy be an IN Title contender!?"

MANNING: "Because he doesn’t feel pain, he has no fear, he is the Mad Bastard Excelsior, he is&ldots;&ldots;.."

[Pantera’s "Primal Concrete Sledge" tears out of the sound system. The crowd offers up a relatively large pop. (the anti-BotB fans anyway)

MANNING: "&ldots;.. a man with friends in high places."

BROOKS: "This match for the International Championship is scheduled for one fall with a one hour time limit&ldots;&ldots; Coming down the aisle, from&ldots;&ldots; the back of his car, apparently, at 229lbs it is the insane one, the Mad Bastard&ldots;&ldots;. KRRRRAAAAACCCCCKKKKKEEERRRRJJJJAAAAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KNIGHT: "HIGH PLACES!?!?!?!? I hope you’re not talking about that disgraceful Clown, Rich, because if you are I swear I’ll&ldots;&ldots;."

MANNING: "No I’m not talking about Bubbles, Sammy!"

KNIGHT: "Then who are you talking about? It sure as hell can’t be that goat!"

[The crowd explodes as KrackerJak, hair out and goatee scruffy, walks slowly down to ringside. His face carries an expression of sincere determination, his left hand carries a flowerpot. He is followed by his fearsome manager, The Goat, who trots on cloven hooves behind him, wearing a Harvard tie and carrying a bundle of barbed wire in his mouth.]

MANNING: "If you can’t work out who is, Sammy, I’m not going to tell you."

KNIGHT: "Well, that’s just fine, Rich, it’s not like I really care about someone who is essentially an undercarder, anyway."

MANNING: "Hardly an undercarder, Sammy, this is an IN Title shot, after all."

["Song Two", by Blur, blares through the arena to an incredible pop from the crowd. After a few moments of waiting, Logan McKenzie, wearing a white shirt in addition to his normal wrestling attire, appears at the entrance ramp. He stands there for a few moments, taking in the atmosphere, but then proceeds down to the ring.]

BROOKS: And his opponent...... at 6'2" and 277lbs....... The Currently Reigning International Champion of the WWA....... LLLLOOOOGGGGGAAAANNNN MMMMCCKKKKEEEENNNNNNZZZZZIIIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

[Before Logan gets to the ring, the crowd goes absolutely wild and he turns around.]

MANNING: "Wait a minute!? Who the hell is this!?"

KNIGHT: "That's that idiot, Wade Benson! What stupidity are we going to see now?"

[The Camera changes to a shot of Wade Benson, still dressed in his t-shirt, tights, and cape, standing at the top of the ramp swinging what appears to be a giant mallet around his head and screaming incoherently.]

MANNING: "He'd better watch out with that thing! He might clock himself!

KNIGHT: "Gee, that'd be a real shame, wouldn't it?"

MANNING: "Wade Benson has been spending too much time with Franky Burroughs, that's the problem"

KNIGHT: "From the looks of this he's been spending too much time with Ug."

[Camera cuts back to a shot of Logan, standing bewildered down near the ring. He ceases his action of taking off his shirt and starts to make his way back up the entrance ramp.]

MANNING: "It looks like Logan is going to deal with this little inconvenience, Sammy."

KNIGHT: "Maybe Wade will get in a lucky blow and they_both_will be knocked out."

[As Logan gets within about 30 feet of the apparently uncontrollable, Wade, three figures jump over the entrance rail and start running after him. One appears to be carrying a sack and the other a bucket. The crowd screams it's warnings but to no avail.]

MANNING: "Oh, God! It was a trap! Look out Logan!"

KNIGHT: "Ha Ha Ha....... this should get interesting...... especially when Logan's goons in the BotB show up."

MANNING: "Oh, No...... I can see who they are now...... It's Franky Burroughs and two of his sidekicks, Marcel and Joey!"

KNIGHTS: "I never thought I'd say this but..... YAY Franky!"

[As Logan gets within striking distance of the now backing away, Wade Benson, Marcel catches up with him. As Marcel stops behind Logan, the crowd's screaming reaches fever pitch."

MANNING: "Oh, God! What now!"

[Marcel signals to the wildly cavorting crowd and the pulls Logan's pants down around his ankles. The crowd's reaction turns from shouts of warning to uncontrollable laughter as the enraged Logan turns around to see himself confronted by a grinning eleven year old. Franky and Joey seize on this confusion to dump the contents of their bucket and sack on top of him. Unfotunately for Logan, the contents appeared to be glue and the contents of the sack appeared to be feathers. ]

KNIGHT: "Oh, dear Lord! They've tar and feathered the IN Champion!"

[The sounds of Sammy Knight putting down his headphone and microphone and laughing hysterically are clearly audible.]

MANNING: "Oh, this is terrible! How can you laugh at a man like that, Sammy!?"

[As Logan stands there in shock at what has been done to him, Wade, Franky, Marcel and Joey start to run up the aisle towards the backstage area. They are stopped in their tracks by the coldly angry faces of the other four BotB members. Wade and company stop in their tracks. The crowd goes absolutely wild at the thought of blood. Logan pushes his way through his friends and moves out to backstage.]

MANNING: "Now this is where it gets interesting, Sammy, payback can be rather nasty."

[Sammy recovers himself and returns to his position on the Commentary desk.]

KNIGHT: "Yeah, you're right...... this could get messy."

MANNING: "My big question is what is KrackerJak is feeling about all of this?"

[The Camera cuts to a shot of KrackerJak lying in the centre of the ring absolutely consummed with laughter. He rolls over and appears to notice BotB at the top of the ramp because he gets up, runs over to the turnbuckle and starts calling Logan down. The Camera cuts back to the impending melee.]

MANNING: "That's hardly good sportsmanship, is it Sammy?"

KNIGHT: "Why don't you shut up and admit that it's funny, Rich. I know you're a little Logan groupie but this is too much!."

MANNING: "It's called staying objective, Sammy, something I don't expect you to know anything about."

[As BotB starts it's inexorable march towards the beleagured Franky, Wade and company, three new figures appear at the top of the entrance ramp to be greeted with a HUGE Pop!]

MANNING: "Oh, my God! It's..... it's Bubbles, Bruise Li and..... who is that?"

KNIGHT: "That's Tremor Christ! What's_he_doing with these idiots!?"

MANNING: "I think we're seeing something fairly important here, Sammy."

[Franky and Wade, seeing that they have reinforcements, attack BotB with amazing fervour. Bubbles, Bruise and Tremor attack from behind leaving the four BotB members caught in between the two groups. It quickly degenerates into a brawl of fists and feet as all technical skills are overwhelmed by anger. The fight continues to move up the entrance way and finally disappears backstage..]

MANNING: "Well what do you make of that, Sammy"

KNIGHT: "I always thought Jerome Turner had something basically wrong with him, but to ally with those two!!! That's just too much!"

MANNING: "Well, what's going to happen now? KrackerJak is still in the ring but Logan has gone missing."

KNIGHT: "Surely he wouldn't run away from someone like KrackerJak!"

["Song Two", by Blur, blares through the arena to an incredibly surprised pop from the crowd this time. After a few moments of waiting, Logan McKenzie, wearing a white shirt in addition to his normal wrestling attire, appears at the entrance ramp. The crowd's surprised cheering increases as they realise that he is clean.]

KNIGHT: "Would you look at that!? He's taken advantage of this little incident to go and have a shower

MANNING: "You're surprised? That's what any relatively intelligent man would do."

KNIGHT: "My point exactly."

[Instead of his usual wait at the top of the entrance ramp, Logan simply storms down to the ring and tears off his shirt. Then he climbs the steps, and hops over the ring ropes. He heads to the center of the ring, and "encourages" the ring announcer and others to leave the ring. Then most lights go out, except for one light blue spotlight, right overhead of McKenzie. He raises his arms in a triumphant gesture, and all lights go back on. Logan then proceeds over to the turnbuckle, climbs up it, and sits on the top of it waiting for the match to begin.]

MANNING: "He looks angry but still focussed enough to fight this match."

KNIGHT: "I don't know...... I wouldn't want to be KrackerJak right now."

[The Bell Rings]

MANNING: "This match is_finally_underway. The two circling each other here&ldots;&ldots; Logan looks a little unfocussed as a result of that highly unorthodox ring entrance."

KNIGHT: "Or he’s distracted by the nagging sensation that he shouldn’t even be defending his title against this nobody."

MANNING: "Nobody? KrackerJak has defeated several of the WWA superstars, like Big Daddy Superstar, and Aria."

KNIGHT: "Aria was asleep, he doesn’t count. Now what’s that idiot doing?"

MANNING: "KrackerJak is now grabbing his terracotta flowerpot and calling for a mic."

KNIGHT: "He wants to give gardening tips?"

KRACKERJAK: "Logan, I’m flattered that you decided to defend your title against me, It’s touching to know that Best of the Best isn’t composed solely of BFB panty-waists and lazy, Gym owning freeloaders. So I’m going to do you a favour. Here."

MANNING: "KrackerJak is handing the flowerpot to Logan. What the hell! KrackerJak is asking Logan to hit him with it!"

KRACKERJAK: "C’mon Logan. Right here in the head, I dare you. I told you that you’d have to kill me to keep your belt tonight, so COME ON! HIT ME, DAMMIT!"

KNIGHT: "Yeah, hit him Logan."

MANNING: "Logan seems hesititant and WHOA! Logan just nailed KrackerJak with the flowerpot! Terracotta and potting mix is all over the ring. The ref doesn’t know whether to call a DQ or not!"

KNIGHT: "Oh my God! I didn’t think he’d actually_DO_it!"

MANNING: "KRACKERJAK IS OUT COLD!!!! HE’S NOT MOVING!!!"

KNIGHT: "Idiot! What did he think would happen when someone smashed a plant pot over his head?"

MANNING: "Logan moving over now! It looks like he’s going for the cover! This match could be over right here!

1&ldots;&ldots;.. 2&ldots;&ldots;.. 3, NO! Somehow KrackerJak kicks out!"

KNIGHT: "Idiot! Look at the blood pouring from his head. How’s he going to fight the rest of the match like that?"

MANNING: "Logan stands up in what looks to be surprise! KrackerJak flips up to his feet! Does this guy even feel pain!?"

KNIGHT: "It takes brains to feel pain, Rich."

MANNING: "Logan standing in the corner now&ldots;.. KrackerJak charges ferociously! Logan, the thinking man, ducks down and flips him up with a backdrop&ldots;&ldots; BUT KRACKERJAK LANDS WITH BOTH FEET ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! He jumps and CORKSCREW MOONSAULT INTO CROSS-BODY BLOCK! KrackerJak with the pin!&ldots;&ldots;

1&ldots;&ldots; 2&ldots;.. This time it’s Logan with the unbelievable kickout."

KNIGHT: "Hardly unbelievable. It is only KrackerJak after all."

MANNING: "Would you let up on this guy!? He was one half of the Tag-Team Champions at one stage."

KNIGHT: "THE ROOKIE TAG-CHAMPS!!!" That doesn't count."

MANNING: "Nevertheless...... Both KrackerJak and Logan up now and attacking one another with a flurry of blows! Logan's anger definitely seems to be seeping into this match..... He knocks KrackerJak down with a right! But KrackerJak is right back on his feet. He gets knocked down again and this time Logan seizes on his opportunity with a devastating elbow drop!."

KNIGHT: "I told you KrackerJak was out of his league here. I may think Logan McKenzie has his head so far up BfB's butt that he can converse with Akira, but he is still a moderately fair wrestler."

(Logan picks up KrackerJak, whips him into the ropes and catches him in a powerslam.)

MANNING: "Moderately fair!? Sammy, this guy could eat you for breakfast! Well, maybe breakfast and lunch."

(Logan again picks up KrackerJak and lifts up and drops him down with an icredible Brain Buster)

KNIGHT: "Oh you think so, Rich? Well, maybe I'll just have to show this Logan McKenzie that it still doens't pay to mess with the Kingsize one."

MANNING: "Was that a challenge, Sammy?"

KNIGHT: "Of course it wasn't! I was merely being rhetorical."

MANNING: "I see. Logan going for the cover now! The ref counts......

1......... 2............ KrackerJak still kicks out! Amazing!"

KNIGHT: "Well I can admit that he can take a beating, but that's not going to win him matches."

MANNING: "True enough, Sammy........ Logan again dragging the now somewhat dazed KrackerJak to his feet and whipping him into the ropes........ Logan throws him up into a tremendous press slam....... OH MY GOD!!!! KrackerJak somehow contriving to catch Logan's head and........ BANG!!!!! He reverses it into a neckbreaker! That's amazing innovation on KrackerJak's part!"

KNIGHT: "That neckbreaker did have no small amount of velocity behind it..... Logan's twitching on the mat."

MANNING: "KrackerJak taking advantage of this situation to drag Logan to his feet once more...... He whips him into the conrer and follows up with a devastating shoulder block! KrackerJak somehow contriving to get Logan sitting on the Top Turnbuckle...... HE GOES FOR THE HURRICANRANA!!!!! But Logan catches his feet with contempt...... I can't believe this, Sammy, both wrestlers doing the impossible here."

KNIGHT: "It might have been a good move, but what can he do with him now?"

(KrackerJak is struggling wildly as Logan steps down from the Turnbuckle and carries him upside down to the centre of the ring)

MANNING: "Oh my God! What's he going to do to him?"

(Logan starts spinning the writhing KrackerJak around in circles, gaining incredible velocity unitl he finally lets him go)

MANNING: OH NO!!!! KrackerJak fying straight into the referee! The Ref isn't moving and neither is KrackerJak!!!! Logan looks a llittle dizzy but relatively unscathed."

KNIGHT: "This is where things geta little nasty."

MANNING: "Logan picking up the stunned KrackerJak and throwing him to the outside. Logan up onto the top turnbuckle! He jumps down with a flying cross body block! BUT KRACKERJAK MOVES!!!! Logan flies straight into the steel barrier!"

KNIGHT: "Now if KrackerJak had any ability at all, he'd follow this up."

MANNING: "No fear of that, it seems. KrackerJak searching under the ring for something...... He pulls out a trash-can!"

KNIGHT: "And with no referee he can't be disqualified!"

MANNING: "Oh no! He hits Logan once! Listen to the crowd cheering, this is disgusting!"

KNIGHT: "This is great! I'm finally starting to learn some respect for that KrackerJak character."

MANNING: "KrackerJak wiping the blod from his eyes...... Logan still on the ground...... KRACKERJAK HITS HIM AGAIN!!!! AND AGAIN!!!! AND AGAIN!!!!! Oh, the crowd doesn't like this too much...."

KNIGHT: "Who cares!? Anything that could end Logan's career is good for me."

MANNING: "Amazingly Logan is still struggling to his feet! KrackerJak going for another bin shot..... BUT LOGAN ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY!! He comes up behind KrackerJak with tremendous agility and lays him out with a standing dropkick! Where does he find the energy?"

KNIGHT: "You don't want to know, Rich."

MANNING: "Logan turning the table now...... He whips KrackerJak straight into the steel steps! He picks up a steel chair and slams it into his head! Now KrackerJak on the ground!"

KNIGHT: "That little run-in at the start really must have infuriated Logan. It isn't often that he does something I can appreciate."

MANNING: "Logan dragging the seriously injured and bleeding KrackerJak to his feet now and whipping him again into the steel barriers...... He picks him up by the hair and drags him out into the entrance ramp!."

KNIGHT: "Where are they going now?"

MANNING: "Logan hits KrackerJak with a tremendous uppercut to the midrift! KrackerJak doubled over now! Logan picks him up and slams him down with an INCREDIBLE POWERBOMB ONTO THE STEEL!!!"

KNIGHT: "Ouch! That had to hurt!"

MANNING: "You're right about that.... Logan relentless now. He picks up KrackerJak again and casually puts him down with a swinging neckbreaker!"

KNIGHT: "I think Logan may just deliver KrackerJak's requirements of this match."

MANNING: "Now come on...... Logan's hardly the type to kill someone!"

(Logan grabs a Camera from one of the techs nearby and smashes it over KrackerJak's head.)

KNIGHT: "Oh really? I think you might want to look again, Rich."

MANNING: "Oh, this is terrible!...... Logan going for the Piledriver now..... BUT KRACKERJAK SOMEHOW BLOCKS IT! Logan goes for it again...... but KrackerJak STILL up to the task! KrackerJak reverses it and...... BANG!!!! A Piledriver of his own! Logan not moving!"

KNIGHT: "Where's KrackerJak going now? He should be taking advantage of this!"

MANNING: "KrackerJak now stumbling his way down the ramp towards Tokyo's own version of the Jumbotron...... oh my God, he's climbing it!"

KNIGHT: "Now Logan is somehow back on his feet and also making his way towards the Jumbotron!"

MANNING: "KrackerJak reaches the top and starts screaming wildly and waving his arms at Logan...... Logan ascends himself but KrackerJak greets him with a blow to the head! Logan's grip falters and the Crown screams it's fear!"

KNIGHT: "Come on, KrackerJak! Knock him off!"

MANNING: "KrackerJak going for another shot but Logan blocks it by pulling KJ's feet out from under him. KrackerJak falls backward and the Crowd explodes!"

KNIGHT: "No, he's still up there. Look's like that big Television is wide enough for that, at least."

MANNING: "Logan pulling himself to the top now as KrackerJak flips up to his feet. The two stand appraising one another before KrackerJak makes a lunge! Logan blocks it with a kick to the face...... KrackerJak stumbles back!"

(The Crowd scream wildly)

KNIGHT: "That's a thirty foot fall, Rich."

MANNING: "I know....... KrackerJak somehow regaining balance and going for the Irish-whip on Logan! OH, my God! Logan reverses! But KrackerJak reverses again! NO! Logan still holds on and the two fall over!"

KNIGHT: "That was close..... it looked kind of like ballet, didn't it?"

MANNING: "Not at all, Sammy. KrackerJak lashes out with a right.... but Logan blocks it! Logan lashing out..... but KrackerJak blocks it! Logan strikes again but KrackerJak once more blocks it! This could go either way! KrackerJak lashes out once again but Logan blocks it and reposts with a headbutt! He catches Krackerjak off guard!"

KNIGHT: "Here we go!"

MANNING: "KrackerJak stumbling back towards the edge, a fresh spout of blood issuing from his nose..... Logan going for the final blow...... but no, KrackerJak catches it! This could go on forever with two technical experts like this."

KNIGHT: "Technical experts!? These two!? Pah!"

MANNING: "What's KrackerJak going to do with Logan in this situation? He turns and...... OH DEAR LORD!!!!! HE JUMPS OFF THE JUMBOTRON HIMSELF!!!!!"

KNIGHT: "But that's a thirty foot fall!"

MANNING: "I know! Logan irreversibly tangle with KrackerJak IS PULLED OFF THE TOP AS WELL!!! They both crash down through the electrical equipment and sparks fly everywhere!"

KNIGHT: "What was KrackerJak thinking!? That fall may have killed him!"

MANNING: "Well he did say the only way Logan would beat him would be to kill him!"

KNIGHT: "Neither of them are moving! I can't believe this!"

MANNING: "Logan laying on top of KrackerJak, though, his fall was broken somewhat."

KNIGHT: "That was still thirty feet, Rich, look at the blood pouring from the two of them!"

MANNING: "Logan's moving! This is unbelievable! This is why this man is the IN Champion! Logan staggering to his feet now..... it looks like he's searching for something."

KNIGHT: "What could he possibly want to do to a man in KrackerJak's position?"

MANNING: "I don't know. That fall may have unhinged him slightly...... Logan picking up what appears to be a bucket!"

KNIGHT: "What's he going to do with that? It can't hurt a man who's already unconscious!"

MANNING: "Logan throws the bucket into the air towards the prostrate KrackerJak...... Oh my God! It's full of water and those are live electrical wires! OH, God! KrackerJak has exploded!

(All lights in the stadium go out for a few seconds before the back-up generators take hold)

MANNING: "Ah, I've just gotten word that the power has gone out all over Tokyo..... the WWA might be in some serious trouble over this one!"

KNIGHT: "I can still see KrackerJak! He's burning but he's still on his feet!"

MANNING: "Amazing! Though someone better put that fire out before too long!"

(The Crowd erupts)

MANNING: "LOOK! HERE COMES BUBBLES! AND HE'S CARRYING A FIRE EXTINGUISHER!"

KNIGHT: "It looks like BotB didn't do a good enough job there."

MANNING: "Bubbles puts the screaming KrackerJak out as Logan runs straight at him! BUBBLES LAYS HIM OUT WITH THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER!!! Then helps KrackerJak back into the ring!"

KNIGHT: "Logan seems to be in trouble again."

MANNING: "No, he's on his feet..... somehow! Logan stumbles back down to the ring and climbs back inside. KrackerJak and he stare at each other for a few seconds and BOTH PASS OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!"

KNIGHT: "If there was only a referee here this match would end."

MANNING: "Here comes Tori Brooks..... AND SHE'S WEARING THE STRIPES OF A REFEREE!! She storms past the stunned Bubbles and climbs into the ring!"

KNIGHT: "How can she finsh the match when both competitors have passed out!?"

MANNING: "She makes a signal to someone backstage and ALL THE LIGHTS GO OUT AGAIN!!! The come back on and LOGAN HAS ONE ARM DRAPED ACROSS KRACKERJAK'S CHEST!!!!!"

KNIGHT: "SHE COUNTS!!!!

1.............2................3!!!!"

MANNING: "THIS MATCH IS OVER!! UNBELIEVABLE!"

KNIGHT: "What's unbelievable is that Logan managed to get his arm across KrackerJak ! I mean, he was knocked-out! That's great determination."

MANNING: "What do you mean, Sammy? That was a screw-job!"

KNIGHT: "Oh, show some respect, would you? Logan deserved to win."

MANNING: "I don't doubt that...... I think both competitors deserved to win."

KNIGHT: "But that's wrestling, Rich, it just can't happen that way."

BROOKS: "Here is your winner..........and still the WWA International Champion...... LOOOOGAAAAANNNN MMMCCCKKKKEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNZZZZZZZIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!"

MANNING: "I still think that was rough. KrackerJak didn't deserve to lose like that. Wait a minute! Bubbles has entered the ring and he has a microphone!"

KNIGHT: "Oh, great..... some words of wisdom from the Bubbly one."

BUBBLES: Hey, hey, everybody!

(Crowd responds with a cheer)

BUBBLES: "What did you all think of that!?"

(Crowd boos mightily)

BUBBLES: "I think it was a screw-job myself..... AND I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!"

(The Crowd explodes with cheering)

BUBBLES: "You see, while I was in the WWARD, I got this!"

(Bubbles holds up a piece of paper)

BUBBLES: "Do you know what this is?"

(Crowd responds with a huge NO!"

BUBBLES: "This is a get out of jail free card. It gives me the ability to book the match of my choice...... and I think I'm going to play this card now."

(The crowd explodes with cheering)

BUBBLES: "You see, I don't really like how this match ended."

(The Crowd screams)

BUBBLES: "And I don't really like the fact that my only proper match so far is against a guy like Josh Ritter next week."

(The Crowd screams again.)

BUBBLES: "So I'm gonna use this little card to not only book KrackerJak a rematch.......:"

(The Crowd cheers.)

BUBBLES: "....... But to give myself a shot as well!"

(The crowd erupts again.)

BUBBLES: "I'm gonna use this card to book a Tag-Match! KrackerJak and My Illustrious self against Logan McKenzie and The Babyface Brawler!"

(The crowd explodes in a veritable miasma of cheering.)

BUBBLES: "If KrackerJak and I win, then KJ gets a shot another shot at the IN Title and I........."

(The Crowd cheers)

BUBBLES: "....... I get a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship!"

(The Crowd begins to scream uncontrollably as Bubbles picks up the still unconscious form of KrackerJak and carries him back towards the waiting paramedics. We cut to a commercial break.)

***********END**OF**COMMERCIAL*****

MANNING: "This one you *have* to watch."

KNIGHT: "Yeah, like "Must See" TV."

MANNING: "And Vyo enters the ring. A stare down ensu... BFB swings a right palm, slapping Vyolynce right across the cheek! But it hurt BFB!"

KNIGHT: "Armor!"

MANNING: "Indeed it is! And Vyo with a huge slap, and BFB goes down! Vyolynce kicks his feet out, and nails a diving headbutt to the *face* of BFB!"

KNIGHT: "Ha ha! If Vyolynce keeps this up, BFB’s semi-charming face, that pales so much in comparison to mine, won’t even exist!"

MANNING: "Well, you might be right once it touches that deadly barbed wire. Vyolynce attempting to send BabyFace into the ropes!"

KNIGHT: "Ropes!? That’s barbed wire!"

MANNING: "BFB stops inches away! He turns back around, and Vyo’s right in his face!"

KNIGHT: "Because Vyolynce ain’t scared of nobody!"

MANNING: "That wasn’t really my point. Vyo with a swift gut kick. And he follows up by planting BFB with a DDT! And a legdrop to the back of the head, smashing BabyFace’s... well... face, even more so. But BFB just quickly stands up like it didn’t even hurt him!"

KNIGHT: "That no-selling son of a... gun."

(There is a moment of silenced awe, as everyone tries to take in what just happened........ Sammy didn’t curse when he had the chance. Then, the explanation.)

KNIGHT: "You didn’t interrupt me, you retard! Are you trying to ruin the show!?"

MANNING: "Another stare down is taking place. BFB... flips off Vyo! Vyolynce with a headbutt! BFB’s busted wide open!"

KNIGHT: "That was fast."

MANNING: "Vyolynce returns the ‘gesture’ and reaches down to lift BFB up. But BabyFace gives him a kick from the ground in the face, but it doesn’t do much to Vyo’s assault. He lifts BFB up. Suplex! But BFB squirmed out and landed on his feet behind Vyolynce. BFB hooking an inverted facelock. If he hits this reverse suplex... it’ll be *onto* the barbed wire! He lifts Vyo up, but Vyo squirms out falling behind... and hooking an inverted facelock as he comes down! The two go falling back, onto the middle barbed wire rope!"

KNIGHT: "Don’t get *too* excited, Rich. That’s just the first time."

MANNING: "Vyo is definitely in pain, but those leather straps holding his mask on really took the brunt of those barbs. Meanwhile, BFB holds the back of his head as he lays helpless on the ground."

KNIGHT: "(as though he’s talking to a baby) Oh, is little BFB hurt already? Can he not handle the Vyolynce? Oh, that’s so terrible. (normal, of course) Ha ha!"

MANNING: "Vyolynce grabbing the head of BFB, and he’s going to rub his face against the barbed wire! BabyFace barely gets his forearm in the way in time, and that arm pad protected his arm as well. BFB gets a well-placed elbow in on Vyo behind him, which hurts both men in the process. BFB gets up. Vyo’s going to lock-up, but I think he just now noticed Tigress at ringside. And BFB with a kick to the..."

KNIGHT: "Richard, that had to hurt!"

MANNING: "(chuckling) How many times have you seen the new Austin Powers movie? Well... never mind. I don’t really care. BabyFace seems to know the cons of Vyo’s armor, they being his elbows and knees. He’s putting repeated stomps to the knees of a bent over Vyo, causing him to have to drop to his knees."

KNIGHT: "It also didn’t seem like his manhood was well armored either."

MANNING: "That’s true. BFB scooping up the bent over Vyo-"

KNIGHT: "Sure, he’s bent... after that-"

MANNING: "Alright! I’m not even going to let you finish that. BFB’s got Vyolynce up in an *inverted* fireman’s carry. He swings out the legs behind him, coming down with a vicious neckbreaker! That’s a vulnerable place as well."

KNIGHT: "But there’s still only one vulnerable place that really matters."

MANNING: "(getting a little flustered) Will you shut the hell up!?"

KNIGHT: "Sheesh."

MANNING: "I guess that’s all you’ve got to say for yourself. BabyFace ascending the turnbuckle here. He’s up there, but Vyo’s up as well! He rushes over. Vyolynce is attempting a press-slam... onto the barbed wire! BFB holds on, though, and hooks an inverted facelock from the top turnbuckle. He swings his feet out. Tornado inverted DDT! BFB turns Vyo over. He tears the back of Vyo’s bodysuit down the middle. He’s going to take off the armor! Starting with the chest/back plate!"

KNIGHT: "Oh, he’s got to cheat, does he? Vyo comes out with a handicap he deserves after getting hurt, but then BFB goes off and... gosh. I don’t believe he’s doing this."

MANNING: "Is there something wrong with you, Sammy?"

KNIGHT: "Hell, no!"

MANNING: "Didn’t really think so. BFB’s got the upper body plate off! But he notices Josh Ritter at ringside! He’s arguing with Tori Brooks, obviously about last weeks extremely odd verdict! Tori’s walking out on him towards the back, however! And Ritter notices BFB staring at him as he spins around to follow."

KNIGHT: "I just love it how everyone seems so pissed. Except for Tigress, you has kept her cool because she’s so ‘messed up’ compared to everyone else."

MANNING: "Messed up? Speaking of ‘messed up’, Vyo just pushed BabyFace out of the way. And drops down, sliding into Josh Ritter with a baseball slide to the face!"

KNIGHT: "Go, Vyo! Go, Vyo! Go, Go! Go, Vyo!"

MANNING: "He’s trying to keep this thing one-on-one, I believe! Vyolynce slides back into the ring, and BFB immediately goes to work on the exposed back, landing several stomps. BabyFace with a senton onto the spine of Vyo! And now, a camel clutch is applied by the world champ."

KNIGHT: "Notice how the excitement suddenly died away when a technical hold was applied."

MANNING: "It’s getting exciting now, though! BFB’s going for the mask once again!"

KNIGHT: "Again!? Doesn’t he know he’s never going to actually do it!"

MANNING: "He’s starting to undo those apparently annoying leather straps! Vyo goes into an outrage, shaking his head wildly to stop him, but he can’t get up with BFB on his back!"

KNIGHT: "Oh yes he can!"

MANNING: "He can! Vyo gets a burst of adrenaline and gets to his hands and knees. He hooks the legs of BFB and dives backwards, coming down on top of the BotB leader, *onto the barbed wire*!"

KNIGHT: "Yikes. Falling on that barbed wire by yourself is bad enough. With about three hundred pounds, plus the weight of Vyo’s massive muscles, that’s... just... ouch."

MANNING: "But BabyFace... the BabyFace Brawler is smiling! Can you believe that!? Vyolynce isn’t going to let him be happy for long. He sets him up, and sends him across the ring with a whip! But BFB stops himself just as earlier."

KNIGHT: "But, watch out!"

MANNING: "Vyolynce rushes across to push him into the ropes, but BFB hits the mat... drop toehold onto the middle barbed wire rope!"

KNIGHT: "Oh no! Vyo’s gonna die!"

MANNING: "Apparently not because he’s on the ground holding that throat."

KNIGHT: "So! He’s going to starve! How’s he ever going to eat again!?"

MANNING: "Typical comment from Sammy Knight. BFB placing Vyo’s neck over the wire again! And he’s standing on the back of Vyolynce’s throat, all his weight pushing the neck of Vyo onto the barbed wire!"

KNIGHT: "Of course, the weight of BFB doesn’t really matter since he’s just a punk paraplegic with a psychological disorder."

MANNING: "BFB with a psychological disorder? What about Vyolynce!?"

KNIGHT: "He’s psycho in a good way."

MANNING: "Josh Ritter on the apron with a chair! He runs the length of the apron, nailing BabyFace in the side of the head with that steel chair!"

(Ritter tosses the chair into the ring and continues running almost straight forward, hopping off the end of the apron and sprinting towards the back. But before he can reach the entrance way, BotB come from three different angles and begin to maul him!)

MANNING: "Ritter might have got what he wanted, but he paid for it awful fast! BabyFace’s busted open in several places now! And this match isn’t even halfway finished!"

KNIGHT: "Not even halfway finished, my foot! BFB’s just about dead in there!"

MANNING: "Sorry, Sammy, but I’d have to say Vyo’s a little closer to ‘death’ than Brawler is."

KNIGHT: "Well, you only say that because... well... you’re wrong."

MANNING: "Well, we’ll just see how much longer it lasts. Vyolynce is up already. Looks like he’s going to take advantage of that chair ‘Hustlin’ tossed in. Vyo sets up the chair. (jokingly) Is he going to take a little rest? Guess not! Vyo brings the BabyFace to his feet. He whips him into the ropes, and this time BFB hits ‘em! He stumbles forward. Vyo lifts BFB up onto his shoulder, falling back... flapjack onto the chair! Vyo just drilled BFB’s face right into the seat of that steel chair!"

KNIGHT: "That’s not how you sit down, BFB! You’ve got it all backwards! Ha ha!"

MANNING: "Ha ha. Real funny. Vyolynce is once more going to rub the face of BFB in the barbed wire! But BFB once more lifts one of those padded forearms of his! But the padding got nabbed on the barbs! Vyolynce taking advantage with kicks to the ribs of BFB, and one to the side of the head! Vyolynce getting BFB up. Suplex? No, Vyo swings BFB around into an inverted facelock. Inverted DDT!"

KNIGHT: "But he should have used the chair in conjunction with it."

MANNING: "Well, he’s going to use the chair now! Vyo laying the chair across the face of BFB."

KNIGHT: "Have you noticed Vyolynce’s targeting of the face of the BabyFace. Whoa, that sounded weird."

MANNING: "No it didn’t. Vyolynce with a legdrop onto the chair, driving it into the face of the world champ, BFB! Vyo moving to the turnbuckle now. I guess he’s going to leave the chair there! Vyolynce to the top now. From this angle you can clearly see that his neck is bleeding under the bottom of that mask!"

KNIGHT: "Of course, bleeding doesn’t bother him."

MANNING: "Apparently, it doesn’t bother either of these men. Vyolynce going for another legdrop, this one off the top rope! And he comes down with full extension towards the chair. BFB rolls back just in time, and Vyolynce misses! And BFB with a mighty chair swing! MY GOD! He nailed Vyolynce right in the face with that!"

KNIGHT: "But what about the armor!?"

MANNING: "Sammy... think about it. That’s like saying why did a car get totaled in a head-on crash even though it had a strong body."

KNIGHT: "Oh."

MANNING: "Oh, is right. That hurt. BFB lays the chair down flat, and pulls Vyo into the corner with a facelock. BabyFace backing to the top. Tornado DDT looks like. And he leaps off with it, spins around. Vyo holds him up! Sidewalk slam! Vyolynce with a sidewalk slam onto the steel chair to reverse a tornado DDT! Vyo pulls the chair out from under BabyFace. He sets it up once more. Damn! Will these two ever stop!?"

KNIGHT: "I know Vyolynce won’t!"

MANNING: "Every man can be stopped."

KNIGHT: "But you just asked me-"

MANNING: "Never mind, Sammy. Vyolynce sitting BabyFace in the chair!"

KNIGHT: "Now you got it right."

MANNING: "Please, Sammy. Vyolynce on the other side of the ring. He gets a running start. Cross body! But BFB rolls out of the chair just in time! But Vyo doesn’t get a chance to escape and he goes full-force into the steel!"

KNIGHT: "I’d hate to be that chair."

MANNING: "The chair!? What about the combatants!? BFB lifts the chair, but decides not to hit Vyo with it just yet. He waits. Waits. Waits."

KNIGHT: "Like an idiot. Idiot. Idiot."

MANNING: "Vyolynce is up. BFB tosses the chair to him!? BFB tries a spinwheel kick to drive the chair into Vyo’s face, but Vyo ducks! Vyo swings the chair hard, but BFB ducks as well! BFB with a sweeping kick to the shins of Vyolynce! Vyo’s legs go flying out from behind him, and he comes crashing face first down onto the steel chair!"

KNIGHT: "Ha ha! Too bad for you, BFB, he was smart enough to put that metal mask on."

MANNING: "BFB immediately lifts Vyolynce up for a bodyslam, but instead of sending him down, he places him in a tree of woe in the corner. BFB leans the chair on the face of the upside-down Vyo! Brawler across to the other side of the ring. He charges! Slide Dropkick to the chair! This has got to be brutal for Vyolynce, regardless of the mask!"

KNIGHT: "Nah. Nothing can hurt Vyo."

MANNING: "BFB taking the chair off the face of a possibly out Vyolynce. Brawler once more going to the other side of the ring. He’s signaling for... a bronco buster!? To an upside-down man!? I’ve never seen anything like this before! Here he goes. And he jumps in!"

KNIGHT: "He’s not out!"

MANNING: "Vyo lifts the chair up, the end of it catching BabyFace’s chin while in air! I wouldn’t be surprised if BFB had a broken jaw after that! Vyolynce squirms off the turnbuckle, coming dangerously close to the barbed wire ropes. Vyo slow to capitalize on BFB being down. Vyo’s doing what Brawler did moments ago. Waiting. And I suppose... Vyo’s an idiot too, right?"

KNIGHT: "No! He’s doing this for a purpose!"

MANNING: "And BFB wasn’t?"

KNIGHT: "Of course he wasn’t. Brawler doesn’t know the meaning of ‘purpose’."

MANNING: "BFB getting up."

(Crack!)

MANNING: "That’s just an old-fashioned chairshot for ‘ya! And BFB falls back into the ropes! I believe he’s out so he doesn’t even really know where he’s at!"

KNIGHT: "Does he *ever* know where he’s at?"

MANNING: "Vyolynce is going to... tie BabyFace into the barbed wire!"

KNIGHT: "Holy [bleep]. Talk about pain!"

MANNING: "He’s got one arm nearly wrapped ar... low blow! BabyFace just connected with a straight-up kick to the groin!"

KNIGHT: "Does he have some kind of obsession with-"

MANNING: "I’m not going to allow you to finish that one either. BFB’s got one messed up head, but soon I think both these men’ll be bleeding everywhere."

KNIGHT: "I pretty sure that Vyo’s got one messed up head now, too."

(Moment of silence, before...)

MANNING: "My god, Sammy! That’s utterly disgusting! Did you *have* to say that now?"

KNIGHT: "Yeah. Or the effect wouldn’t have been as good."

MANNING: "BFB methodically hooks a front facelock. But it’s not long until Vyolynce brings him over with a Northern Lights suplex! And what do you know! It’s onto the chair! That warrants a pinfall!"

KNIGHT: "Wow! Really... a pinfall!?"

(ONE!)

MANNING: "Vyolynce released the move as soon as he realized what was happening!"

KNIGHT: "What!? What are you doing!? Now’s when I start to question, Vyo... oh, wait a second. He just wants to hurt BFB some more. Never mind. That’s perfectly fine."

MANNING: "Perfectly fine!? If you can end the match, by God, do it!"

KNIGHT: "Don’t tell Vyo how to wrestle."

MANNING: "I’m not. I’m just... never mind. Vyolynce is once more going to try to rub the face of BFB on the barbed wire!"

KNIGHT: "Come on! Make him the ScarFace Brawler!"

MANNING: "That won’t be a pretty sight if Vyo manages to get him on it! And once more, BFB throws that forearm up to block! Vyo not allowing BFB to recover from his wounds. He drags him up along with him. Release German suplex! But BFB landed on his feet! BFB tries for a clothesline, but Vyo ducks. BFB realizes this, and brings a knee up into the chest of Vyo, and Vyolynce goes flying back into the barbed wire! BFB charging, however. Clothesline! And Vyolynce goes head over heels over the top rope!"

KNIGHT: "Of course, that didn’t hurt him one bit."

MANNING: "Maybe not! Vyo grabbing the foot of BabyFace. BFB kicks him in the eye, making him release it. BFB backing away to the other side of the ring."

KNIGHT: "Move, Vyo!"

MANNING: "BabyFace with a sprinting leap. Cross body block over the top rope to the outside! And he absolutely nails it!"

KNIGHT: "Yeah. He nailed it about as much as Flair manages to keep his voice from cracking."

MANNING: "BFB seems-"

KNIGHT: "Or about as well as Sid nails a 450 splash."

MANNING: "I don’t think that’ll ever happen, Sammy."

KNIGHT: "You never know. What about Bigelow, The Blue Meanie, and Hugh Morrus?"

MANNING: "Yeah, but... *Sid*."

KNIGHT: "Yeah, I guess you’re right. For once."

MANNING: "BabyFace is looking under the ring for something."

KNIGHT: "Probably pieces of that beautiful face he never had but thought he did."

MANNING: "Whatever it was he found it."

(BFB pulls a fairly small bag out from under the ring. He gets up onto the apron. Smiling devilishly, he undoes the string holding the satchel shut. He smiles to the camera once more, and tosses the contents of the pack all about the ring in three quick tosses.)

MANNING: "Glass! Hundreds of shards of glass!"

KNIGHT: "I don’t believe it! BFB actually conforming to the heelish ways that he really usually follows but is such of a ‘baby’, he won’t admit it!"

MANNING: "Errrrrr... okay. (excited) BFB just heightened the intensity of this match about a thousand-fold, folks! He just strewed thousands of glass shards about the ring!"

KNIGHT: "But just a few seconds ago, you said hundreds."

(Rich sighs before ignoring the statement and moving on.)

MANNING: "Things are about to get a whole lot bloodier. BFB rolling out to the outside. He’s once more looking under the ring. What for this time?"

KNIGHT: "You know what I’ve never seen before under there that I’d like to?"

MANNING: "What?"

KNIGHT: "A strip-match."

MANNING: "Oh no! Here we go again! BabyFace seems to have found the next object he was looking for."

KNIGHT: "Let me guess, it’s probably a-"

(Sammy waits. BFB reaches under the apron for a few moments before pulling out...)

KNIGHT: "Table."

MANNING: "(sarcastically) Oh, good guess."

KNIGHT: "I knew before he pulled it out. I just got choked so I couldn’t talk."

MANNING: "Oh, I’m sure you did. BFB rolling Vyo into the ring now, where he’s also slid the table into. Luckily, no shards there. Most of them are on the opposite side of the ring from BFB and Vyo. BFB climbing to the top rope."

KNIGHT: "What a duffus! He’s allowing Vyolynce to get up!"

MANNING: "But it’s all for the reason to put him down that much harder! Then he can use that table while could easily spell the "E-N-D" of this match."

KNIGHT: "And the "E-N-D" of my happiness."

MANNING: "You mean, you actually like a match!?"

KNIGHT: "Yeah. Don’t you?"

MANNING: "Argh! I wonder how bad I’m aging early because of you!"

KNIGHT: "I don’t know if it’s me, but I just noticed that your hair’s turning awful white. Or maybe that’s just your scalp."

MANNING: "Good one. You managed to insult me in two ways at once this time."

KNIGHT: "Actually, with the way you look, insults aren’t needed."

MANNING: "Make that three in one. And that’s *not* an invitation to continue this time, Sammy."

KNIGHT: "Damn! I was just getting started."

MANNING: "Good."

KNIGHT: "Good? You mean, you want me to contin-"

MANNING: "BFB leaping from the top rope! Cross body! Powerslam! Vyolynce reversed the body block with a big powerslam! Vyo going to use that table now. I don’t know if BFB should have actually gotten that out."

KNIGHT: "Of course it’s backfiring on him. Even the tables realize what a total dork he is."

MANNING: "I can’t wait until someone comes out here and busts you up."

KNIGHT: "Yeah, right. I know the sole secret to getting ahead in today’s wrestling business!"

MANNING: "And what’s that?"

KNIGHT: "Getting a good lawyer!"

MANNING: "(chuckling) I guess you’re right there. Vyo setting BabyFace up on the table and moving towards the turnbuckle."

KNIGHT: "I have a bad feeling about this."

MANNING: "Why?"

KNIGHT: "That’s why!"

MANNING: "Vyolynce climbs the turnbuckle, but his back’s away from the table, which BFB has moved from! BabyFace going up as well, and now Vyo notices. But it’s gonna be to late. BFB hooks the neck of Vyo, who’s facing towards the outside of the ring. He leaps off. Neckbreaker off the top rope! BFB lifting Vyo up onto the still-unbroken table. He motions that the end is coming. BFB’s turn to scramble to the top."

KNIGHT: "He’ll probably end up losing his balance and-"

MANNING: "Vyolynce rolls off the table and runs up, placing a forearm to the back of BFB’s knee. And he comes down straddling the turnbuckle."

KNIGHT: "Told you so."

MANNING: "I guess you did. What’s your prediction now then?"

KNIGHT: "Vyo absolutely murders BFB, but ends up losing because of a DQ."

MANNING: "Ummm... (pause) that sounded *too* peculiar. Almost... too possibly accurate."

KNIGHT: "Oh, come on! You know that’s dead right!"

MANNING: "No, I don’t! What do you mean!? (getting back to the action) Vyo hooking a waistlock from behind to BFB who’s facing the outside of the ring as Vyo was earlier."

KNIGHT: "Now, could you repeat that in English please?"

MANNING: "Okay. ‘Vyo hooking a waistlock from behind to BFB who’s facing the outside of the ring as Vyo was earlier’."

KNIGHT: "Argh! You’re so difficult!"

(Camera goes off the action to show Rich Manning staring at the camera with a mixed "yeah right/stunned" look to him.)

MANNING: "Vyolynce pulls BFB off with a... German suplex off the top rope! And Vyolynce is going for the table once again!"

KNIGHT: "First we see the chair in about twenty back-and-forth spots. Now the table. What’s next?"

MANNING: "There might not be a next if Vyolynce manages to keep BFB down! Vyolynce rolling BFB onto the table, and now he’s rolling back outside the ring."

(Vyo starts looking for something under the ring.)

MANNING: "I guess we might be about to find out what’s next..."

KNIGHT: "A pair of wire cutters!?"

MANNING: "A pair of wire cutters is right! You know what those are for don’t you!?"

KNIGHT: "Let me guess... cutting wires."

MANNING: "Yeah, but those are the cutters that are supposed to be for cutting the barbed wire off the ring after the show!"

(Vyo gets back into the ring. He goes to one corner and begins cutting the top rope)

KNIGHT: "It looks like the ring crew’s going to get a little early start on dismantling the ring."

MANNING: "Indeed it does. Vyo’s got the top rope on that side cut. Now for the other end of the wire."

KNIGHT: "Oh no! What’s going to happen when they get whipped into the ropes after... there are no ropes! And... what if they get whipped in our direction!?"

MANNING: "Chill out. Vyo’s only eliminating the top rope on one side of the ring. And it’s opposite from us."

KNIGHT: "Chill out? Where’d you ever hear a phrase like *that*?"

MANNING: "Probably from you."

KNIGHT: "Nah. I’d just say shut the-"

MANNING: "(interrupting of course) Okay! Back to the match! Vyolynce takes the ring-length strand of barbed wire over to the table where BFB is seemingly *out cold*."

KNIGHT: "Seemingly? He *is* out cold. BFB can’t handle anything dangerous that gets near his face. That’s why he’s got those lame-o forearm pads."

MANNING: "Vyo’s got freakin’ body armor!"

KNIGHT: "So, what’s your point?"

MANNING: "Errrrr! Vyo’s going to tie BFB down to the table! No, he’s not! BFB’s not out. He gets a quick punch to the face in there. But Vyo pushes over the table, and BFB goes flying down onto a group of thumbtacks!"

KNIGHT: "I guess his little ‘trick’ didn’t work."

MANNING: "Guess not. Vyo sets up the table again. He picks up Vyo. Oooo! There are tacks stuck in BFB’s back! Vyo slides BFB onto the table, and starts wrapping that barbed wire around him and the table!"

KNIGHT: "Time for some BFB barbeque."

MANNING: "Could be, if Angel shows up. That would be horrifying if Angel showed up right now, carrying her candelabra. She would have opportunity to roast BabyFace like a duck."

KNIGHT: "Or an... mmmmm... rat."

MANNING: "What the hell!? A rat!?"

KNIGHT: "Lots of people eat rats. Over in like Europe or something."

MANNING: "Europe, huh?"

KNIGHT: "Or maybe it was just Texas."

MANNING: "(sighing) Well, I’ll just get on with the show now. Vyolynce is going to the top rope! BFB can’t move! Vyo leaps off. Somersault senton onto the table, and it comes crashing down!"

KNIGHT: "And that barbed wire wrapped around BFB doesn’t help any either!"

MANNING: "Now *that’s* how you do a hardcore somersault senton onto a table."

KNIGHT: "It was the same as all the other ones."

MANNING: "Yeah, but-"

KNIGHT: "No ‘buts’. I’m right, you’re wrong. Get on with the show."

MANNING: "That’s the first good idea I’ve heard you propose all night! Vyo’s tightening the rope around BFB so he still can’t move! And Vyolynce with a stomp... to the face! Vyo lifting BFB to his feet, and hooks an inverted facelock. Brawler’s going nowhere!"

KNIGHT: "Except maybe straight to Heaven or Hell after this!"

MANNING: "Reverse suplex onto the thumbtacks! This *has* to do BFB in! But Vyo’s not going for the cover again! It’s over, for Christ’s sake!"

KNIGHT: "For BFB’s sake, it’s over! Not that I *care* about BFB’s sake."

MANNING: "Vyo once more getting BFB to his feet. He picks him up on one shoulder. He can do anything with BFB in this position! Vyo taking him towards the side of the ring. He’s going to toss him right on us!"

KNIGHT: "I told you to make sure they get us a Spanish announcing booth!"

MANNING: "Vyo takes a little job, and tosses Brawler over the ropes! Watch out!"

(Rich Manning and Sammy Knight dive from their commentary table as the barbed- wire-wrapped body of BFB comes crashing down onto it!)

MANNING: "Brawler surely can’t stand much more than this! What’s this!? Tori Brooks! Tori Brooks just walked up and cut the wire around BFB. Brawler is totally puzzled!"

KNIGHT: "And Vyolynce is totally pissed!"

MANNING: "Indeed, he is! He’s giving a few might nasty words to the president of the company, but she’s just ignoring them and stomping off to the back! BFB is struggling to get up, but managing to just do it. Vyolynce out after him. He grabs the hair of BFB, and uses it to catapult him back-first into the guardrail! Vyo sets BabyFace into a standing headscissors! He picks him up for a powerbomb! But BFB falls back over the back of Vyolynce, coming down on his feet. He grabs both ankles of Vyo from behind, and jerks them off the ground! Vyolynce goes chin-first down onto the top of the guardrail! Can you believe the BabyFace Brawler is coming back after all that punishment!?"

KNIGHT: "It’s like this, Rich. In a hardcore match, no matter how much of a pussy they really are, they become the toughest guy whoever hit the mat. And I mean, since it’s BFB, hit the mat."

MANNING: "You make light of BFB and call him a loser, yet... he’s never lost a match and-"

KNIGHT: "But the favoritism!"

MANNING: "Favoritism can’t get you everything, Sammy."

KNIGHT: "Errrr... that’s the first thing I *know* you’re *really* wrong on."

MANNING: "Maybe so, but he’s an impressive athlete, nonetheless. BFB and Vyo both just laying out on the outside, soaking up the lights."

KNIGHT: "More like soaking up my beauty rest. I want this to get over with so I can go home and get in bed."

MANNING: "Without eating before so!?"

KNIGHT: "Of course not! Gotta make up for missing my second evening snack of the day by ordering an extra two large pizzas or so."

(Shot of Rich Manning staring at the camera with a "uh, yeah" look.)

MANNING: "Vyolynce is getting up a little faster than BFB. Vyo sees the opening as BFB’s bent over. He picks him up, and drives him into the mat outside the ring with a piledriver! Vyo bringing BFB to his feet. Almost a magical burst of energy or something here by Vyo. He rolls BFB into the ring. Turning around, a kid fan hands Vyo a chair. He snatches it away."

KNIGHT: "Yeah! Get your hands off Vyolynce’s property, punk!"

MANNING: "Whatever. BFB is getting to his feet. He’s been *so* relentless tonight, as Vyo has as well. Vyo up to the apron. He swings the chair around, but BFB ducks it, pushing Vyo all the way around. BFB charges to the turnbuckle. He leaps to the top, and comes off, diving to the outside!? As he goes down, he kicks the chair Vyo, who is on the apron, was holding into his *face*!"

KNIGHT: "But the mask took most of the shock!"

MANNING: "True! Vyo dives off with a chair shot! But BFB sticks a foot up and once more Vyo eats the chair! BFB snatches it away. And clocks BFB across the side of the head! And now the other side! Vyo’s not going down! He charges, and a double leg takedown on BFB!"

KNIGHT: "He’s in the zone!"

MANNING: "Quite possibly! Vyo grabs the chair as he lays over BFB, pinning him to the ground. Vyo backs away!? I don’t-"

(BFB kicks his legs out to get to his feet... but BFB meets him halfway with one hellavu chairshot to the forehead!)

KNIGHT: "Surprise!"

MANNING: "Are they ever going to attempt to pin each other? Vyo hooking a front facelock on BFB, as well as a leg. Fisherman’s buster onto the mat outside the ring! Vyo’s feeling some after effects of those chair shots now. And it’s really slowing him down. Vyo climbing up to the apron. He jumps off, leg outstretched! BFB sits up, and Vyolynce barely misses the legdrop! BFB quickly wraps him up, and Vyo’s trapped in a cross armbar!"

KNIGHT: "Is that the *best* move this so-called ‘Best of the Best’ member can do?"

MANNING: "He’s really reeling on that arm. This is a good move here. He’s putting Vyo in pain, while letting himself rest his wounds a bit. And a great many of them he has."

KNIGHT: "Nah. Just a bleeding nose, two gashes in his forehead, a slash on his forearm, a cut-up back, and maybe a few fractures or something, too."

MANNING: "BFB releases the hold after about twenty seconds, getting up from his position a very tired and bloody mess. Here we go again... under the ring."

KNIGHT: "You mean *under* the ring."

MANNING: "BFB just crawled way under all the way under the ring to get something, I guess!"

KNIGHT: "And Vyolynce is crawling in with him!"

MANNING: "Indeed he is! What’s going to happen here!"

(Several loud erratic clanging noises are heard from under the ring and the crowd cringes with the thought of what could be happening. A minute passes.)

KNIGHT: "Why the hell don’t the cameras just look under there!?"

MANNING: "I don’t kn- look!"

KNIGHT: "It’s, it’s-"

MANNING: "Oh my God, it’s Vyolynce’s mask! I don’t believe it! But, BFB can’t see him under there! It’s too dark! He’ll have to drag Vyo out... there’s BFB! He reaches down under the ring. I think he’s pulling out Vy... it’s him!"

KNIGHT: "But look!"

MANNING: "Once more, a second mask saves the life of Vyo!"

KNIGHT: "Life?"

MANNING: "Or atleast the career! BFB is *extremely* frustrated now! He’s... going *back* under the ring again!? But he’s not taking nearly as long as last time. He’s dragging something out!"

KNIGHT: "What could be left!?"

MANNING: "Two things apparently! An... industrial magnet!? He reaches under the ring again and drags out a large sack as well! He’s lifting the magnet into the ring, but he can barely move it it’s so heavy! He rolls it under the barbed wire ropes. Meanwhile, Vyo is just coming back to life. BFB grabs him and slides him into the ring. BFB hurry to rush in. He lays the armored arms of Vyo onto the magnet, and switches it on! A hum reverbs, and Vyo’s just stuck there lying down! And he’s fully alive, too, wildly kicking!"

KNIGHT: "Cheap! Cheap! Cheap!"

MANNING: "Maybe so, but completely fair! BFB laughs at him and goes out of the ring towards the bag. He reaches in... and pulls out..."

KNIGHT: "An... industrial *clamp*! He’s going total indu... *WAIT A SECOND*!!!"

MANNING: "*WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THAT*!? BFB comes back into the ring with an unbelievably *evil* grin, wielding that clamp with both hands as he snaps it open and closed!"

KNIGHT: "I CAN’T WATCH THIS!"

MANNING: "We don’t even know what’s he going to do!"

KNIGHT: "*I DO*!"

MANNING: "Don’t tell me you think he’s going to... (realizing he is) *do THAT*! REACHES DOWN WITH THE OPEN CLAMP TOWARDS... Vyo kicks him square in the mouth, knocking him backwards! But BFB’s onslaught isn’t fi... OH MY

GOD!!! BFB JUST DID IT! *HE JUST USED THAT INDUSTRIAL CLAMP ON THE GROIN OF VYOLYNCE*!!! AND HE’S NOT TAKING IT OFF ANY TIME SOON! Vyo is nearly paralyzed in pain, but not enough to not tremble helplessly on the ground! He can’t even manage to take it off!!! There!!! He did! Sammy? Sammy? Um... Sammy doesn’t seem to be here at the moment. But, that doesn’t matter! The sadistic BabyFace Brawler rolls back to the outside of the ring. He reaches into the bag. A... *sledge hammer*!? Vyolynce is going to die here tonight! There’s no doubt in my mind! BFB bringing that bulky item of destructioninto the ring. He lifts it up. He’s going to smash the knee of Vyolynce into a million pieces!!! Vyo with a kick to the groin! Vyo just kicked *BFB* in the groin! He rolls over onto his stomach, allowing him to get up bent over! He nails a kick to the stomach of BFB. Vyo reaching with his toe. He hit the switch to turn off the industrial magnet. And immediately afterwards, he falls to the ground, once more holding his groin in complete agony! BFB was affected little by those two kicks from Vyolynce, and he *ONCE MORE LIFTS THE SLEDGE HAMMER*! *HE DROPS IT*!!! *IT MISSES*!!! VYOLYNCE MOVED IN TIME!!! HOW CLOSE, THOUGH! Vyolynce uncannily getting to his feet. He runs in, clothesline, and BFB gets knocked neck-first onto the thumbtacks that still cover the ring! Vyolynce taking up the sledge hammer, and this has to be the most pissed I’ve ever seen him! *HE LIFTS UP THE SLEDGE HAMMER*! *AND DROPS IT*!!! *RIGHT ONTO... THE MAT!!!* BFB ROLLED AWAY, IDENTICAL TO THE WAY VYOLYNCE DID! BFB to his feet, and both men are up! Can you believe after everything, it all comes back to the beginning!? But this has to be the end! It all comes down to the next thing that happens as both conduct a stare down right in the center of the ring! Vyolynce kicks BFB square in the groin. He sets him up and sends him into the ropes! BFB bounces off them and increases speed, like they were your regular set of ring ropes! And apparently the low blow didn’t affect him either! Vyolynce tries a clothesline, but BFB ducks under it! He willingly goes off the opposite ropes! BFB goes for a clothesline, but Vyolynce ducks his! Vyo off the ropes now, as well as BFB! They both jump into the air for dropkicks, and obviously both miss and just get tangled up as they fall to the mat! BFB grabs the arm of Vyolynce, and places it on the industrial magnet, switching it on! He goes over onto Vyolynce. He’s setting Vyolynce up for... *THE EMBRACE OF DARKNESS*! THAT’S VYO’S OWN HOLD! AND VYOLYNCE CAN’T MOVE FROM WHERE HE’S AT!!! BFB QUICKLY SWITCHES OFF THE MAGNET... *AND COMPLETES THE HOLD*!!! *THE BABYFACE BRAWLER HAS VYOLYNCE WRAPPED UP IN HIS OWN VARIATION OF THE INVERTED INDIAN DEATHLOCK SURFBOARD, THE EMBRACE OF DARKNESS*!!!"

(Tick-tock. Tick-tock. A minute of this pass.)

MANNING: "*WILL BFB _EVER_ RELEASE THIS HOLD*!? * CAN VYO SURVIVE IT*!? *HE COULD BE OUT*!!! *THE REFEREE CHECKING THE ARM*!!!"

(ONE DROP!)

(TWO DROPS!)

(THREE DROPS!)

MANNING: "*YES*! *NO*! NO!!! VYOLYNCE KEPT IT UP!"

(Another whole grueling half-minute passes! Amazingly, everyone remains pumped and most cheer for BFB to stay at it! That’s a minute more! And time passes another sixty seconds away.)

MANNING: "*Vyolynce is easily near getting his back broken for sure*! *He’s been wrenched in that hold for over three minutes*! Vyolynce is fading! He can’t keep this up lo... Referee Austin Cooper going for the arm!!!"

(ONE DROP!)

MANNING: "THIS IS IT!!!"

(TWO DROPS!)

MANNING: "*THERE’S NO WAY VYO CAN LIFT THE ARM*!!!"

(THREE DROPS!)

MANNING: "*YES*!!! *YES*!!! *THAT’S IT*!!! *VYOLYNCE IS OUT*!!! *VYOLYNCE IS OUT*!!! *BFB WINS*!!! *BFB WINS*!!!"

(The bell sounds. BFB releases the hold and rolls out of the ring quickly, where he falls to the ground. There he...)

KNIGHT: "Sick!"

MANNING: "You’re back!"

KNIGHT: "Yup, and just in time. I could tell you were speechless."

MANNING: "BFB won! Can you believe that!?"

KNIGHT: "No way! He couldn’t have!"

MANNING: "BabyFace picking up that barbed wire rope. He’s rolling *back* into the ring!"

KNIGHT: "This is terrible! Arrest this man!"

MANNING: "That might be what they’re doing! Security’s storming out! BFB daring them to come on! They do. *But he nails each one with a barbed-wire wrapped hand as they ascend to the apron*!"

KNIGHT: "This is horrible! Kill this man!"

MANNING: "They might have too if he gets too much violent! BFB turning around. He’s going to... hogtie Vyolynce with that barbed wire! And he does!"

BROOKS: "Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match... by knock-out...

the WWA World Heavyweight Champion and leader of the Best of the Best... the *BABYFACE BRAWWWWWWWWWW-"

(BFB just snatched the microphone from Tori Brooks!)

BFB V/O: [In a slow almost emotionless tone] To all of my critics look at the man who you all selected to be my slayer. I sacrifice him tonight to the High Emperor Leviathan, Who for some reason felt that until I faced the Almighty Vyolynce I wouldn't be a proven champion. Well there he his Leviathan, laying in a pool of his own blood. I ask you where was the challenge?

What of the man himself? [pause] Vyolynce you fool! After all the hype of behind your gimmick and talk of how much you enjoy seeing others in pain.

Look at yourself now. I have just gave you a lesson in torture. I've said before this match, that you were in over your head and now you know just what I meant by that. See, you know nothing of Calvin Coleman, of where I've been or where I'm going. All you know is what I've wanted you to know. Consider yourself lucky, because tonight I spared you. But next time, you will be lucky to escape with your very life. Embrace the torment, tonight I showed the world my pain, and I shared that pain with you Vyolynce. Now as you lay there slipping in and out of consciousness, I want you to remember how it felt to be mangled, beaten, destroyed and branded, by ME. You are now my property, I own you and more importantly I own your soul. No matter what form of retaliation you attempt to take. It will pale in comparison to what transpired here tonight. When you seek me out for your revenge everyone will know that it is just a stale attempt by you to try and make up, for your shortcomings here tonight. From this day on you are forever in my shadow......forever in my past.....forever in my wake.....

[The spotlight begins to slowly fade out on Vyolynce.]

BFB V/O: First Avanter, the Grimms and now the master mind Vyolynce completes the set.

(As there is darkness, the crowd is eerily silent. Suddenly... a ball of flames bursts into the air, an indistinguishable yell coming from the very epicenter of the arena, piercing the darkness. With a resounding thud, the spotlight returns, and Vyolynce is standing bloody in the center of the ring. BFB is laying upon the mat holding his face, amongst the scattered thumbtacks that tear into his back.)

MANNING: "MY GOD! *HOW*!? *WHAT*!? It’s Vyolynce staring down at BFB! He turns to glare at Tigress! *BFB gets to his feet*! His face is burnt! *BFB IS BURNT*! *BFB HAS A BURN NEAR HIS RIGHT TEMPLE*!!!"

KNIGHT: "HaHa! Looks like it’s gonna be the ScarFace Brawler from now on!"

MANNING: "VYOLYNCE TURNS BACK TO BFB. *AND THEY GO FACE TO FACE AGAIN*!!! *FANS, WE’RE OUT OF TIME! WE’LL SEE YOU NEXT WEEK*!!!"
