AWA SUNDAY NIGHT SHOCK, January 23, 2005, Salt Lake City, UH, Delta Center
(We fade into Salt Lake City Utah and see the winter outside environment of the
city as we fade into the arena to where the pyros are going off and the fans are
screaming and going crazy for another installment of AWA Sunday Night Shock.)
HS: “Hello Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to AWA Sunday night Shock live from
the Delta Center here in Salt Lake City Utah.”
FJ: “And what a night of action do we have in store for you, plus the huge
announcement in regards to the AWA Commisioner.”
HS: “And its all topped off by the Main Event of Brian Williams and The Fish,
and what a match up is that going to be.”
FJ: “It sure is, but right now its time to kick off the show with hot tag team
action so lets get that underway!”
the NEW AWA World Tag Team Champions Draven Shadows and Xavier Pain going up
against Never Punking Down in a non-title affair.
Frank Jackson: Hey, how come the titles aren’t on the line?
Herb Summers: Title shots are earned, Frank. And I don’t think that NPD has
proven themselves in the ring lately.
(“The Taste of Ink,” by The Used begins to play and the Salt Lake City, Utah
fans begin to cheer.)
Frank Jackson: What?!
Herb Summers: That’s Stevo’s music. What is he doing out here?
(Stevo walks out onto the entrance ramp and holds his arms out to his side as he walks down to the ring. Stevo is wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and tight jeans. He is wearing a pair of Aviator sunglasses which are covered slightly by his dark shaggy hair.)
Herb Summers: Stevo burst onto the AWA wrestling scene by defeating then-AWA Cruiserweight Champion OOO, but since signing exclusively with the AWA, Stevo
hasn’t won a match since his debut.
Frank Jackson: That bum!
Herb Summers: Well, it should be noted that his only match to date was at Hell on Earth with Ryu Kaiser as his tag team partner.
(Stevo bypasses the ring and heads straight for where Herb and Frank are sitting.)
Herb Summers: Well, it looks like Stevo is going to join us for a little commentary.
(Herb Summers stands up and welcomes Stevo to the broadcast table as Frank Jackson keeps his head down. Summers hands Stevo a headset and Stevo smiles. Stevo sits down.)
Stevo: Thank you, thank you.
(“The Taste of Ink,” stops playing and is replaced by “Money Ain’t A Thing,” by Jermaine Dupri. Hollywood Blue and Bronco T. appear on the entrance ramp to
a chorus of boos.)
Frank Jackson: And here comes Never Punking Down!!
(NPD storms to the ring and enters the ring through the ropes. April India,
Blue’s manager remains on the outside of the ring. “Cowboys From Hell,” begins
to play by Pantera and the lights in the arena dim.)
Herb Summers: And here we go, the action should begin to pick up now.
(Xavier Pain walks onto entrance ramp with the AWA Tag Team Championship
hoisted on his shoulder. He stands on the entrance ramp and waits for his tag
team partner to come out:
A girl says in a dark cold voice:
"Hear Me now!
All crimes should be
treasured if they bring
thee pleasure somehow..."
The girls voice echo's throughout the arena as a crow caing then takes the
place of the girl’s voice. Waterproof Blonde "Just Close Your Eyes" begins to
play as the arena goes dark. Footage of a figure that is all black is seen
walking on the AWA-tron. From the footage you can tell the figure is wearing a
trench coat. The footage then fades over to barbed wire sliding across the
tron's screen. The barbed wire then forms into a name. It spells out "Draven
Shadows". Then around the ring fire appears out of know where. The camera
rises up to show on the AWA-tron that the fire makes the shape of a crow around
it. The lights come back on and Draven Shadows and Heather stand in the ring.
Some fans jump out of their seat at shock seeing Draven just appear out of no
where. Xavier Pain stalks to the ring and slides in under the ring ropes as
Draven takes of his trench coat and strap up shirt and hands it to the tech guy
as the fire around the ring dies out. Heather gets out of the ring as Draven
and Xavier get ready for their match.)
Stevo: What an entrance! That is impressive.
(All four competitors huddle in the center of the ring and talk trash
towards each other. Draven Shadows and Xavier Pain hand their AWA Tag Team
Titles to Heather, but both members of Never Punking Down sneak-attack the World
Champs and nail them from behind. Hollywood Blue nails Xavier Pain from behind
with an axe handle smash to the back. Bronco T. grabs Draven Shadows by the
hair and throws him down to the mat. Draven immediately slides out to outside
the ring, and grabs Bronco T’s legs. Draven Shadows yanks down hard and Bronco
falls to his ass. Draven pulls him outside to the arena floor. Bronco T.
crashes onto the arena floor hard.)
Herb Summers: Ouch! NPD tried to get the early advantage, but the tides
have turned already. Xavier Pain Irish whips Blue into the ropes and . . .
Stevo: Bam!!
Frank Jackson: Ohhh! He nailed him with a spinebuster!
(Draven Shadows picks up Bronco off the arena floor and begins to give him
chops to the chest like Ric Flair. The Salt Lake City crowd whooos with each
chop to Bronco’s chest, as does Stevo.)
Stevo: Whooo! Whooo!
Herb Summers: The referee needs to get control of this match-up. The bell
hasn’t even rung.
(The referee ducks his head through the ropes and yells at Draven Shadows
and Bronco T. to stop fighting so the match can begin. Draven Shadows pays no
attention to the referee and grabs Bronco T. by the throat. Draven hoists
Bronco into the air and delivers a massive chokeslam onto the arena floor.)
Frank Jackson: Wow!! Look at the power of that giant.
(Meanwhile, inside the ring, Xavier Pain once again Irish whips Blue into
the ropes and attempts a clothesline, which Blue ducks under and hits the
opposite ropes. He comes back towards Pain and spears Pain into the mat.)
Herb Summers: And Blue on the offensive once again in this match. Is it a
match yet?
(The bell rings as the referee instructs the bell keeper to ring it.)
Frank Jackson: He can’t start the match with Bronco T. laid out on the
outside and Xavier Pain down on the mat.
Stevo: Well, he just did Frank. He just did.
Frank Jackson: What brings you out here anyways Stevo?
Stevo: Well, I have a major announcement. A challenge, if you will.
Herb Summers: A challenge?
Stevo: Yes, but that will come later. Let’s focus on this match and the Tag
Team Champs.
(April India attends to the fallen Bronco T. and tries to get him off the
arena floor.)
Herb Summers: This may turn into a two on one real quickly if Bronco T.
doesn’t start stirring. Oh wait. What is Draven doing now?
(Draven Shadows walks up to Bronco T. and April India. April shudders
beneath the behemoth. Draven reaches down and grabs her by the throat. The
crowd starts to cheer in confusion. Stevo gets up from the broadcast table and
puts his headset down. He begins to leave the table as Blue slides under the
ropes to the outside and hits Draven with a low blow. Draven lets go of April
and she runs away. Blue begins to delvier axe handle smash after axe handle
smash on the back of Draven. Stevo puts his headset back on.)
Stevo: I wasn’t going to let that happen. Draven Shadows is a despicable
human being and he should have never laid his hands on poor April.
(Blue leaves Draven on the arena floor and slides back into the ring, but is
met by a foot to the head by Xavier Pain. Pain gives Blue a jawbreaker. Blue
grabs at his jaw and squirms on the mat. Draven Shadows gets up onto the apron
and demands a tag from Pain. Pain tags Draven in.)
Herb Summers: And now, Draven Shadows is finally legal in this match-up.
(He picks Blue up and delivers a double arm DDT to the Never Punking Down
member. April India pounds on the mat and Bronco T. pulls himself up onto the
apron awaiting an opportunity to get into the ring. Draven runs over to Bronco
T. and strikes him in the head. Bronco T. tries to get into the ring, but the
referee holds him back. Draven Shadows and Xavier Pain stomp down on Blue as
the referee is distracted.)
Stevo: I can’t believe these guys. I’ve had enough Herb and Frank. I’m
making my challenge right now.
(Stevo stands up and the camera focuses in on the broadcast table.)
Frank Jackson: What? In the middle of this match?
Stevo: Yeah, I can’t stand Draven Shadows and Xavier Pain. I challenge the
AWA Tag Team Champions to a title match.
Herb Summers: Wow! What an announcement! Who is your partner? Ryu Kaiser?
Stevo: Nope. I will have a mystery tag team partner that will not make his
identity known until the match.
(Stevo puts his headset down and exits ringside. He walks up the entrance
ramp to the confusion of the fans and the Tag Team Champs. Xavier Pain returns
to the apron as Draven Shadows picks Blue up.)
Frank Jackson: I think he is going to wrap this one up right now.
(Draven whips his foe into the turnbuckle. He then sets them up on the
turnbuckle so their back is facing him. He then climbs up on the top buckle.
He lifts them up and wraps his arm around their neck like a reverse DDT. He
then lifts up in what appears to be a reverse DDT suplex but right as he lifts
them up he then jumps off the turnbuckle. Draven taking his foe down to the mat
with a Reverse Implant DDT. He then quickly covers them.)
Herb Summers: That is going to do it! 1!! 2!! 3!!
(“Just Close Your Eyes,” begins to play and Heather enters the ring and hands
the tag titles to Draven and Xavier Pain.)
Frank Jackson: Well, the Tag Team Champs were quite dominant tonight, but
how do you think they will answer the challenge laid down by Stevo tonight.
(Maxx Skabb is seen walking the halls of the Delta Center backstage. His head
is still bandaged up from the wound he suffered at Hell on Earth, which was
reopened two nights ago on Xplosion. He stops a random employee to ask for
help.)
Maxx Skabb: "Hey, do you know where Ted Goldstein's office is?"
Employee: "Uh, yeah. It's down the hallway here. You make a left and then
make a right at the second intersection that you get to. His office is the third
door on the left."
Maxx: "Uh...thanks."
(Maxx goes down the hallway and makes a left. He makes a right at the first
intersection and comes to a dead end. He walks back and then makes the next
right. He heads down the hallway and sees 'Ted Goldstein' on the door. Maxx
inhales and exhales as he opens the door.)
Maxx: "Mr. Goldstein? Are you here?"
(We see the chair behind a desk move and an arm come into view to wave at
Maxx.)
Maxx: "I got your note just before I left the Pepsi Arena. I read that you
wanted to discuss with me about my No Limit title shot against NHL, since I am
now the Number One Contender. I wanted to come in here and let you know that I
won't lay down to those two. I have worked too hard to get here. I got rid of
that skank Tiffany and took care of Poppa, and now I'm winning all of my
matches. But, what did you want from me?"
(The chair rocks a little bit more.)
Maxx: "Mr. Goldstein, are you listening to me?"
(The chair spins around to see that it was Nathan Hawthorne-Lee sitting in
the chair, smiling at Maxx Skabb.)
NHL: "Well, if it isn't the Number One Contender for MY No Limit
Championship. I have a few things I want to set straight. All of this lying down
stuff, that was Snake's idea. I have no doubt in my mind that I can and WILL
beat you when the time is right for you challenge me for my title. But until
that time comes to pass, I want to get something else straight. You fell into
Snake's plan, not mine. You have a problem, take it up with Snake because I'm
just the messenger boy, don't kill me."
Maxx: "You know, when I look at you, I see some qualities that I have. We
wrestle alike, we sometimes think alike, but we aren't alike. I also see that
you have a lovely wife that seems to love you very much, and you love her very
much. I have to admit that I am a little jealous of that. I want someone to like
me...but that time isn't now. I don't want it to happen until I am unable to
compete, and compete is what I'll do, and it will be for that title! There is
one more thing that I envy from you and it's the fan support. You seem to be
throwing that away! You seem to be chucking all of the loyal NHL fans to the
side to better yourself. The fans love you, yet you always act like an ass, why
is that?"
NHL: "Well, this isn't much like you, Maxx. I don't ever recall you actually
saying that you envy someone or whatever it is you were saying, but quite
frankly, I don't have to answer to you. But you do have to answer to me!"
Maxx: "You know, I thought the nonsense from that bitch Tiffany was still
lurking around my head, and maybe it is, but there is one thing that I won't do,
and that's answer to you!"
NHL: "I'm sorry to hear that, Maxx, I really am. But you have to answer to
Snake!"
Maxx; "Bull[beep]! I said I'm not answering to anyone!"
NHL: "That's too bad...But why don't you say it to Snake's face!"
(NHL points behind Maxx and Maxx turns around, only to be greeted by a chair
to the head by Snake. NHL hops up from his seat and picks up Maxx. NHL then
powerbombs Maxx Skabb onto the fake desk of this fake office. Maxx is lying on
the floor motionless while Snake leaves the room. NHL looks down at Maxx. We can
almost see a hint of sadness, remorse, and regret in the eyes of NHL. He bows
his head down, then turns to leave the room. On the way out he tells someone
that Maxx needs some EMT’s
(We fade to a commercial as the EMT’s are rushing to the scene and we see a Life
Alert Healthline commercial and come back to the arena.)
(Those quite familiar guitar riffs by Joe Perry of Aerosmith accompanied by Nelly's lyrical flow are heard throughout the arena. The crowd stops in their tracks and to the rafters, while "#1" plays throughout the arena. The Superstar, stepping from behind the curtain and saluting the crowd, down on one knee with his hands in the air. He's wearing his trademark ring attire and the AWA United States title around his waist. The crowd begins to make their way back to the seats, booiing as they do it, for The Superstar Colin Baird. Colin makes his way in usual fashion, dancing and playing to the crowd with a smile on his face, loving every minute of it. Colin dances down the ring, until making it to the ring. He hops up on the apron, and swings his hips while grasping the ropes. He then steps through the ropes, and begins to twirl in circles in the ring, as the lights dim, with 'Superstar' spotlights on the ring. After spinning with his arms out, and finds his place in the center of the ring, and poses for the crowd. Golden pyro shoots in a big X's to the rafters behind him, and the fans hatred continuing to build. Shortly after this, the lights are restored)
HS: “ The No Limit Champion is on his way.”
(White, Red, Gold, and Green lights flash as NHL's entrance music hits the arena. When the solo begins in the song, about 10 seconds from start, NHL emerges from the curtain area with his AWA No Limit Championship belt around his waist. Sarah follows NHL and stands behind him. He stands there for a moment, staring out around the crowd, getting psyched up for the upcoming match. A short while later, NHL explodes from his trance with rage and excitement. He walks down the ramp, throwing his arms in the air, pumping himself up and the crowd for the upcoming clash. NHL then pauses in front of the ring for a few seconds, as if he couldn't wait to get in. He then makes his way to the ring steps, taking his time climbing up each step. NHL takes his time getting into the ring through the top and middle ropes. Sarah follows her husband to the ring, entering from under the middle rope. He walks to the middle of the ring, takes his No Limit belt off, and slowly raises his arms in the air with is title in one hand. He makes his way to the nearest turnbuckle and does the same.)
HS: “Well folks here we go, this is sure to be a test for both of these fine young superstars tonight”
FJ: “NHL with his recent ties to Toxic Melody, and the new AWA No Limits Title, has really made a splash in his short term here in the AWA, and Baird is one of the most confident and shining stars in the business today.”
(The bell rings and the superstars square off in the center of the ring. They lock up collar and elbow and shuffle for position. Baird however uses his size and strength to get an advantage pushing NHL into the corner. The ref tries to break it however, Baird delivers a stiff right to the jaw of NHL. NHL checks for blood, and then meets Baird in the center of the ring again, this time Baird swings and NHL ducks. NHL fires off four lefts, and then drops Baird with a massive right. He raises his arms and the fans seem heavily in his corner tonight, mostly from their dislike for Baird. Baird gets up, and then charges NHL, who ducks down and delivers a drop toe hold and spins around, and is back up on his feet, Baird charges again this time getting caught with an arm drag, then another and finally he hits a back elbow that floors Baird again. NHL then picks him up and whips him to the ropes, Baird hits and comes back trying to execute a clothesline however he misses again, and NHL reaches back behind him and pulls Baird down in a neck breaker.)
HS: “NHL seems to be on his game tonight, however Baird seems to be out of focus.”
FJ: “Baird will come around, He is the “The SUPERSTAR”
(NHL picks up Baird and then delivers a drop kick that puts him back down. NHL climbs the second turnbuckle and then comes off attempting a leg drop however Baird just gets out of the way, he capitalizes on the mistake and then picks up NHL delivering a suplex, and dropping a knee into the shoulder region of NHL. NHL is forced up and Baird then Baird delivers a Wrap Around Kick, that nearly takes off NHL’s head.)
FJ: “How quickly the tides turn in the AWA”
HS: “That was a hell of a kick, and NHL is in trouble.”
(Baird then shakes out his cobwebs from before, and begins to taunt the fans and NHL, as he walks towards him and hoists him to his feet, and whips him into the ropes. Baird executes a lovely big boot and leg drop combination and NHL seems dazed by it, Baird is up immediately and delivers a knee drop and an elbow drop, before pulling the champ up. And sending him into the corner. Baird stalks forward, and delivers an array of punches to the midsection, and then a few shoulder blocks also in the midsection. Baird then winds up and takes a wild swing, connecting with NHL’s ear. NHL drops down in the corner, and Baird lifts him back up, delivering a chop to the chest. Baird charges at full speed before leaving his feet in an attempt at a flying splash in the corner, however NHL gets both his feet up and into Baird’s face, which causes Baird to take four or five steps backwards obviously dazed. NHL then runs forward delivering a tremendous Tornado DDT.)
HS: “My god, that was an awesome DDT, by NHL.”
FJ: “Herb I think this kid is making a mistake not going for the cover.”
(NHL lifts Baird up, and sends him into the ropes. NHL charges and levels the bigger Baird with a running lariat. NHL then lets loose a primal scream and the fans applaud)
HS: “NHL is jacked up now Frank”
FJ: “And the Superstar is face down and a world of trouble.”
(NHL reaches down and picks up Baird he rocks him with a left and then a right, then a back elbow, Baird stumbles backwards from the blows and then NHL attempts a kick to the midsection however Baird catches his foot. NHL though counters again with an enziguri to the back of the head that once more send Baird sprawling face first. NHL then lifts him up again this time delivering a body slam to center Baird in the ring. He heads to the ropes and then quickly leaps off delivering a moonsault. NHL goes for the cover 1……….2……..no! )
HS: “A near fall there for NHL.”
FJ: “DAMN IT!!! It’s a good thing I don’t have money on you Baird.”
(NHL slaps the canvas after the close fall. He catches his breath and then starts to bring Baird up again this time he locks him in a suplex and takes him down hard. Baird grabs at his back and then NHL is right on top of him, hoisting him up again, Baird however begins to fight back.)
FJ: “AHA…Baird isn’t finished yet…look at the fight in this guy…I love it”
HS: “And everyone else hates him Frank.”
FJ: “Because he is better then them…THAT’S WHY!!!”
HS: “Ask him, he will tell you as well…”
(Baird delivers three straight lefts followed by a knee to the gut, and then followed with an atomic Drop. NHL winces in pain however he slouches down instead of falling over. Baird grabs him in a front face lock. He then turns him and positions himself in the center of the ring. Before beginning to once more taunt the fans.)
HS: “I think he may be setting him up for the end.”
(Baird begins to lift NHL, however NHL blocks the move and delivers a series of knees of his own, before reversing the suplex attempt and dropping Baird into the Brainbuster DDT….which he calls the SlapShot.)
FJ: “NO NO NO NO!!!!!!””””
HS: “The SlapShot.. this is over with…. A great performance by NHL here tonight As he picks up the win.”
HS: "Wait, why is Snake coming down the ramp?"
FJ: "Maybe it's because he wants to congratulate NHL on the match that he
just wrestled."
(Snake checks under the ring and finds a chair. He takes it and slides into
the ring. He motions to NHL. NHL looks at Baird, almost with that sad look in
his eyes that he had when he left Maxx Skabb. NHL knocks Colin Baird to the mat.
NHL picks him up and delivers a SlapShot to Colin Baird. NHL picks up Baird
again and Snake cracks Baird's skull in with a chair-denting chairshot. Baird
falls motionlessly to the mat. Snake hits Baird again with the chair and rolls
Baird to the floor with his feet.)
HS: "My God! Baird's been manhandled by Snake and NHL. Toxic Melody has
struck again!"
FJ: "Maybe Colin Baird was that fifth person on Snake's list. Yesterday,
Toxic Melody decimated Bryan Peek, Andreas Lasiewicz, and BlackJack. Tonight,
they made their hits on Maxx Skabb and now Colin Baird. This is just amazing.
Snake said he was going to do this, and now it has come to pass. All five men
have been decimated. But you have to wonder to yourself why this is happening.
Why is Snake doing this? I wonder what his goals are behind this."
(Then one of the cameras seen Maxx Skabb run through the crowd. He hops over
the barricade and ducks down low, waiting for when to strike. NHL and Snake are
both facing the AWA tron as it's showing a replay of the melee that had just
taken place. Maxx enters the ring and jumps up and down, just waiting for NHL
and Snake to turn around. NHL doesn't notice the ring move, but Snake's head
twitches when Maxx was jumping. Maxx walks over to NHL and Snake, but Snake
turns around with a kick to Maxx's face, sending Skabb smashing down to the
floor of the ring. NHL turns around and sees what's just happened. Snake picks
up Maxx and hits Maxx with the Injection. Snake picks up Maxx's limp body and
Snake motions for NHL to get a chair. Snake drops Maxx and then motions a chair
shot. Snake pics up Maxx again and holds him. NHL gets the chair and holds it in
his hands. The look of sadness and remorse come across NHL's face again.)
Snake: [screaming] "NOW!!!!!"
(NHL picks up the chair and looks at Maxx's face. There is no look in Maxx's
face. NHL shuts his eyes and clenches his teeth as he drills Maxx right in the
head with the chair. The shot left a resonating loud pop throughout the arena
and the chair has a major dent in it. NHL throws the chair to the side while
looking at Maxx with somewhat of a concerned look in his sorrowful eyes.)
HS: "That was a vile chair shot. That was just a sickening thud that had
echoed throughout the arena."
FJ: "Well, I guess a sneak attack always does deserve another good sneak
attack. That's two time in one night where Toxic Melody has layed Maxx Skabb
out. Just look at the blood coming from his previous wound and the fresh one
that is already there."
HS: "Did you see the look in NHL's face? It almost seems like he felt bad for
Maxx Skabb."
FJ: "No, I doubt it. NHL enjoyed caving Maxx's skull."
HS: "Well, we have to cut to a commercial break while the EMTs are helping
out Maxx and Colin. We'll be right back."
(We fade to commercial for Burger King Giant Angus Burger and fade back to Herb
and Frank.)
HS: It’s now time for Jack Happy and Poppa to square off!
FJ: With Happy in the ring, isn’t it a round off?
HS: [Sighs] … and here comes Poppa!
FJ: The winner of the match!
HS: Don’t they have to wrestle first?
["Big Poppa," by Notorious B.I.G. plays and bright white explosions set off on
the entrance ramp. The crowd begins to boo heavily as Poppa, with his arm around
the lovely Tiffany, walks onto the entrance ramp wearing his wrestling attire of
white basketball shoes and a pair of blue basketball shorts. Poppa is also
wearing a crimson T-shirt with the sleeves cut-off and in off-white cursive
letters it reads "Epitome of Physical Fitness" on the front. Poppa jumps up onto
the ring apron as Tiffany, wearing a black mini-skirt, a low-cut sleeveless pink
blouse, large hoop earrings, and black high heels, walks up the ring steps.
Poppa climbs through the ropes and poses for the crowd to a mass of boos, while
Tiffany bends over seductively through the ropes and into the ring. ]
FJ: Wow … how can you root against a man whose girlfriend looks like THAT when
she bends over?!
HS: Frank ,,, Frank … over here Frank … oh man …
[Just then, the familiar riffs of “Bad to the Bone” by George Thorogood and the
Destroyers begins to play, as Red evil smiley faces light from the top of the
entrance ramp all the way down. Red pyros go off as The American Fatass drives
down on his motorcycle, his pet hyena Pearly riding shotgun on the sidecar.
Following behind them are Suavio Mega (on his mo-ped) and Luscious Lori (on her
Barbie bike); they wreck their rides as they get down to the apron. Getting off
his bike, The American Fatass rolls into the ring and throws an arm up into the
air, fist clenched.]
FJ: And this is why Poppa is going to win!
[Before the bell, as Tiffany exit’s the ring, and Lori claps near her corner,
Poppa comes charging in, and hit’s the American Fat Ass from behind with a
double sledge. He follows up with three more closed fist shots to the back,
each shot wearing on Jack.]
HS: That dastardly Poppa, using a short cut even before the bell rings!
FJ: Well, it rang now, so everything’s okay. And what Poppa did was just
smart.
[Poppa whips Jack Happy off the ropes, and waits, as the smiley one returns,
wrapping his arms around Happy’s waist.]
FJ: C’mon, Poppa, throw him!
HS: No, no, I think Happy’s got it blocked …
[Jack, barreling down on Poppa, throws his arms around his opponent, as well,
and locks Poppa in a bear hug. He holds Poppa up for a few long moments, as
Poppa struggles and squirms.]
HS: Look at the pressure being applied!
FJ: I’d much rather look out at ring side. [Clicks tongue.]
HS: Well, folks, I’ll call this match for you, since my broadcast partner is
being an as ..
FJ: Did you see that?!
[In the ring, Poppa, after suffering a long held bear hug, finally clapped the
ears of Happy, causing the masked man to let him go. As Happy turned back
around, Poppa dipped his shoulder, and wrapped his left arm around Happy’s leg
…]
FJ: Poppa’s going for the Big Up … as soon as he lifts Jack, it’s all over!
HS: The question is, with the work Happy has done, can he?
[As predicted, Poppa tries to lift The American Fat Ass up, and as predicted,
his back gives out, and Poppa is forced to writhe away, clutching at his kidney
area. As Poppa turns back, Jack unleashes a flurry of slaps.]
FJ: No, duck … ohh … dodge it … aww man!
HS: Jack’s going slap happy! And there’s the final uppercut!
[As Poppa hit’s the ground, Jack runs across the ring, and tucks into the first
somersault … ]
HS & FJ: ROLLING BLUBBER!
HS: I believe this marks the end of Poppa’s chances!
FJ: This is not right … it’s a travesty, it’s a conspiracy, it’s a …
confederacy!
HS: Do you even know what that is?
FJ: Call the match, will you?
[As Happy splashes all 320 pounds across Poppa’s chest, Tiffany eyes the apron,
and contemplates interfering. That is, until she notices the small party on the
other side of the ring. This leads her to pound on the mat, cheering Poppa on,
as he scrambles to crawl out of the ring. However, Jack has a different idea,
as he grabs Poppa by the foot, and drags him back in.]
FJ: And here’s the epitome of fitness, the comeback kid, the …
[As Poppa is lifted, he begins to volley lefts and rights to Happy’s face,
before sliding around behind his opponent, and trying a German suplex. Once
again, though, this doesn’t work, and Happy takes advantage, by dropping Poppa
with a Samoan drop. Happy then mounts his opponent, draping Poppa’s arms over
his knees, and grabs for Poppa’s cheeks.]
HS: Here’s the Happy Ending … will this be all?
FJ: How can that be allowed?
[Poppa tries his best to make his way to the ropes, but the weight, the damage
to his back, and the excessive pulling is too much.]
HS: And Poppa taps … Jack Happy wins!
FJ: Well, I got to stare at Tiffany, so it wasn’t a total wash.
COMMERCIAL
(Suddenly Family Ties by Cam'Ron blares over the PA and the crowd begins a
chorus of boos as Paige walks out from behind the curtain. She is in a black
mini skirt, slowly making her way to the ring. She walks slowly up the stairs,
with a microphone in hand. She slowly gets in the ring, and walks to the center.
She begins to speak.)
Paige: "Ladies and Gentlemen... First and foremost, I'm here to do one of two
things. The first thing is to resign as the top AWA interviewer... Why? Because
I have found the one talent I'm looking for. He was one of many applicants
interviewed for the opening, since my husband acted foolishly, opting out of his
contract. So without further-a-do, ladies and gentlemen, welcome the newest
edition to the AWA, Paul Parker."
(Family ties by Cam'Ron blares over the PA again, and the crowd gives a mixed
reaction as the five eleven, one hundred ninety pound man walks from behind the
curtains. He does a quick jog to the ring. Paige begins to speak as Paul steps
through the ropes.)
Paige: "Congratulations Paul for impressing me on Xplosion."
(Paul smiles. He once again grabs Paige's hand and kisses it. She blushes a
little and hands him the microphone.)
Paul Parker: "Thank you for choosing me Paige... I have no problem performing
in the AWA for less money than I would receive, say somewhere in Japan. I also
have no problem deferring twenty percent of my salary for you to become my
financial advisor, and marketing director. I'd also like to sa-"

Hunt...
Annihilate!
Over and over again. Bryan Peek finally makes his way through the curtains
before standing on the top of the ramp and taunting the fans, with a cocky grin
on his face. We see Paige in a state of shock as she sees the man who helped
destroy her husband make his way down to the ring. Peek threatens to slap a fan
before he slides in the ring under the bottom rope. He walks right past Paul and
Paige to climb up the opposite turnbuckle. We see the Flashbulbs go off as Paul
and Paige back into the opposite corner from Peek. Bryan Peek begins to walk
over towards Paige. Paige begins to become more afraid of Peek as he gets closer
and closer to her. Paul seems to be ready to take on Bryan Peek. Paige now say
something that we can barely hear, in a very frightened voice.)
Paige (stuttering): "What do you want?"
(Bryan Peek now stands in front of them. He then snatches the microphone from
the newest edition to the AWA's hands. Bryan Peek begins to speak.)
Bryan Peek: "First-and-foremost, let me comment on what I've did over the past
few months... First, let me start by saying that Jeff Christianson is an idiot
for saying he had anything to do with the Raincoat man. But once he was
revealed, and I destroyed my brother, I had no further use for him. I destroyed
his knee, and then at Hell on Earth, I destroyed his career. I did what the
Hangman couldn't do... I did what Jayson Price couldn't do... I put Jeff
Christianson on the injured list, FOR GOOD!"
(As Bryan Peek pauses, Paul Parker snatches the microphone from him and hands it
back to Paige. Paige begins to speak in very serious tone.)
Paige: "That's the reason why you're the first to sign a contract with me,
Bryan. Let's show them how it happened."
(We fade to the Xplosion before Hell on Earth and we see the parking lot area,
where the black stretch limo is still parked and still nobody steps out.
Finally, the chauffeur steps out of the limo and heads towards the back, opens
the door and out steps Bryan Peek; the crowd immediately start booing and
jeering for the Superstar.)
FJ: OH YES!! You think he was going to miss tonight's match? He's here, indeed!!
HS: I never said anything like that.
(Peek is seen smiling, and as he steps out completely, he turns back and looks
inside the limo and extends his right hand. It is seen when another hand, from
inside the limo, reaches out and shakes Peeks.)
Peek: We have a deal then. We will be in contact, though.
(The chauffeur smiles as Peek slaps him on the shoulder and starts walking off.
He reaches the door to enter the building, opens it, walks through it, and gets
out of reach from the camera. The cameraman, though, immediately runs to catch a
glimpse of who is it that's in the limo but the chauffeur slams the door shot as
soon as he sees the cameraman approaching. The scene fades to a commercial,
promoting the Book of Low DVD.)
(The shot cuts back to Herb and Frank at the Announcer’s Table. Suddenly “That
don’t Impress Me Much” strikes up over the PA System…)
HS: “What the…”
FJ: “It can’t be”
HS: “Please tell me it isn’t?”
FJ: “It is, Herb. It’s Louise. Commissioner Santini’s fiancee and former AWA
Women’s Champion, “Lethal” Louise is coming down to the ring right now”
(The camera cuts towards the top of the ramp way, where we see the stunning
figure of “Lethal” Louise appear. Dressed in a smart tailored trouser suit, she
tosses her head to one side, flicking back her long, blonde locks from out the
way of her piercing green eyes. She stares towards the ring, a hint of a smile
forms as she makes her way to the ring, much to the displeasure of the crowd)
FJ: “Here she comes, Herb and if I may see, what a way to put a smile on each
and every man’s face in this arena tonight”
HS: “You may say Frank, but I’d put that tongue back in your mouth before
Santini catches you”
(Louise elegantly steps into the ring and poses for a few seconds in the centre
of the ring as a chorus of boo’s ring out across the arena)
HS: “She’s still not the most popular thing in the AWA, is she?”
FJ: “THING??, did you just call her a thing? She’s a Goddess, Herb. A pure
Goddess!!”
(Louise grabs hold of a mic and starts to address the crowd)
LOUISE: “Ladies and Gentleman. It’s great to be back!”
(The boo’s raise in volume, despite the occasional cat-call being heard)
LOUISE: “Now there are a couple of reasons for my appearance here tonight, but
firstly I must address the shocking developments that occurred during the Hell
On Earth Elimination Chamber and the extent of the injuries that my fiancee
sustained, hence the reason he is not here tonight and won’t be able to grace an
AWA ring again for at least another four to six weeks…”
(She gracefully clears her throat, as she tries to stay composed)
LOUISE: “Roll the footage!”
(The AWAtron springs into life, showing part of the Elimination Chamber match)
(Brian gets back into the ring and walks over to Santini, standing over
Christianson, who is holding his hurting leg. Santini then looks at Williams and
nods. Williams, however, doesn't move at all. Santini then talks to Williams and
the camera can pick up what is being said.“
SANTINI: “Come on, Williams, remember the deal! Destroy him! NOW!“
FJ: “That's what their deal was!“
HS: “Santini wants Brian Williams to destroy Jeff Christian-... NO!“
(Williams now starts beating Christianson up with The Equalizer. Williams
looks as if he's in another world now as he repeatedly smashes Christianson with
The Equalizer. From the ribs he goes to the legs, then to the arms and back to
the legs. Finally, Santini helps Williams by pulling Christianson up and holding
him for Williams.)
HS: “Now he wants Williams to hit Christianson across the head as well!
Listen to the fans, they are silent out of shock!“
(Williams takes a few steps back and then hits Christianson across the head
with The Equalizer. Santini looks at Christianson with a satisfied look on his
face. He bends down to Christianson and trash talks him. Finally, he raises his
arms to celebrate as the crowd practically boos him out of the building. He
turns around and BOOM! WILLIAMS HITS SANTINI WITH THE EQUALIZER!)
HS: “WHAT?!?!“
(The crowd explodes into cheers as Williams nails Santini with his own
Equalizer right across the head, opening a large wound on Santini's forehead!
Williams then does to Santini what he just did to Christianson. Williams seems
to be in a blood rush and just continues beating Santini's entire body. Santini,
half-conscious, tries to cover his head, but Williams just nails him wherever he
can. Finally, he starts hitting Santini's hands until Santini has no choice but
to stop protecting his head. Williams shows no remorse as he continues his
beating on Santini's head. He then puts The Equalizer into his pants and picks
Santini up. He lifts him into a bodyslam position and then throws him over the
top rope and onto the steel floor right in front of the gate. He lifts Santini
up once again, picks him up as if for a tombstone and then just runs towards the
glass chamber. Just before reaching it, he throws Santini head first into the
glass, causing it to break and burying Santini under thounsands of splinters.
Santini is bleeding from his head and from his arms and through the white parts
of his referee shirt we can see he is also bleeding from his upper body.)
FJ: “This is the total destruction of Dave Santini! This is one of Santini's
plans that backfired terribly!“
HS: “But listen to the crowd, they love it!“
(As two of the outside referees enter the Chamber to tend to Santini,
Williams returns back into the ring. He takes The Equalizer and hits the lying
Christianson across the back of his head once more. He then picks him up and
lifts him over the top rope and onto the steel.)
HS: “He's walking towards yet another glass chamber!“
(And indeed Williams picks Christianson up as if for a shinbreaker, but he
just runs at the glass chamber and rams Christianson's injured knee against the
glass, causing it to crack. Christianson drops to the ground and Williams
applies the Struggle Within. A third outside referee runs into the Chamber and
over to where Williams and Christianson are just in time to see Christianson tap
out! Jeff Christianson is eliminated!)
FJ: “The World Champion is gone! Brian, John, Snake or Low, one of them will
be the new World Heavyweight Champion!“
HS: “But look at the carnage, look at this carnage! EMTs are coming down the
aisle with TWO stretchers. Lethal Louise, with a horrified look on her face, is
coming down as well!“
(The referees and EMTs first pull Santini out of the Chamber and onto the
stretcher. The third referee finally succeeds in getting Williams to release
Christianson. Williams then picks up and stares at The Equalizer before throwing
it all the way across the ring and out of the gate, almost hitting one of the
EMTs in the head with it. Another group of EMTs pulls out Jeff Christianson.)
FJ: “I can't believe these rude fans here in Indianapolis! How can they cheer
such a despicable act? Brian Williams might have injured two honorable men in
Dave Santini and Jeff Christianson permanently!“
(Louise can be see trying to compose herself as the camera’s attention comes
back to her)
LOUISE: “Frank, thanks for your words. They were my sentiments exactly and let
me warn you now. Your punishment at the hands of Dave Santini when he returns
won’t be a lenient one, let me assure you of that and if you think you’re going
to get away with things lightly you are very much mistaken…”
FJ: “You tell’em, Louise!”
LOUISE: “Ladies and Gentleman and members of the AWA Roster that are backstage.
Let me introduce to each and every one of you the new temporary AWA
Commissioner. Ladies and Gentleman…Please welcome…”
(Louise falls momentarily silent as the camera’s and the entire crowd’s
attention falls on the ramp way entrance)
HS: “Come on. Who is it?”
FJ: “The suspense is killing me, Herb”
LOUISE: “NONE OTHER THAN “LETHAL” LOUISE HERSELF!”
HS: “What! It can’t be?”
FJ: “I can’t say I saw this coming, but the fate of the AWA is now in the hands
of Dave Santini’s fiancee, “Lethal” Louise. I think things are gonna start
becoming fun around here”
HS: “but it can’t be. I mean…she’s a…she’s a…”
FJ: “Come on Herb. Spit it out. Don’t tell me your being sexist. Don’t tell me
you don’t like the idea of your new Boss being a female?”
HS: “…but…but…”
(“That Don’t Impress Me Much” strikes up over the PA System once more as our new
AWA Commissioner, “Lethal” Louise makes her way backstage)
HS: “ Well we’re back folks from that huge announcement that affects the AWA as
a whole, Lethal Louise is now our Commisioner and its time for our Main Event of
the evening. A match which has been in the making for a very very long time and
all of us have been waiting to see it. Today is the day but it is unlike the way
we had perceived it.”
FJ: “Well we have been waiting, but its exactly like we perceived it, because
Brian Williams is going to snap again.”
HS:” I think your wrong there, Brian Williams and The Fish will be squaring off
and I think this will be the epitome of competition here in the AWA and a good
respectable match.”
FJ: “ Well no matter what, now is the time to find out.”
(Erie music hits and the lights change to a blue tint and move in a way to make
it seem that the whole arena is under water the crowd buzzes in anticipation of
one of the most popular wrestlers in AWA history, then "Trendy" by Reel Big Fish
hits and the lights flash back on as water shoots from the stage the crowd
explodes with one of the loudest ovations you’ll hear and wrestling for an
entrance as The Fish dead sprints to the ring, slapping every hand on one side
of the aisle way before sliding into the ring. Fish stands there looking
straight at the entrance ramp pumping himself up just waiting ,As The lights go
out. As the ominous opening chords begin to build of the song “Orion“ By
Metallica, after a long pause, a single deep bluelight falls on the ramp way.
Smoke billows from the entrance creating an ominous haze, from within the haze
we see the seven monster’s silhouette as he pauses, The dense mist follows
Williams all the way to the ring until he steps over the top rope and looks
right at Fish.)
HS: “ This is an incredible site ladies and Gentlemen.”
FJ: “ Wait for it…wait for it…”
HS: “ Wait for what?”
FJ: “ The snap!”
( Brian Williams and Fish walk to the middle of the ring and look right at each
other and The Fish extends his hand looking up at Williams as Williams nods his
head and puts out his hand and they shake as the cameras in the arena go nuts
and the cheers nearly blow the roof off. The bell rings and they step back a
few.)
HS: “ Did you say that? Oh my, Williams shook his hand!”
FJ: “ It’s all apart of his plan.”
HS: “ Oh will you stop, there is no plan, Brian Williams is a changed man, and
that was a great moment for everyone to be a apart of.”
(The go to the center of the ring and lock up and Brian Williams gets Fish in a
headlock but Fish escapses out of it and is quick to the ropes but Williams
turns around to catch him with a backdrop but Fish Slides underneath him and
dropkicks the back of his leg and then leap frogs over him and goes for a sunset
flip but Williams is to much and he drops down on the chest for a cover but only
gets a two count as Fish manages to kick the back of Williams forward and slide
out from under. The both get up and lock eyes and Fish hit’s the ropes again but
this time Williams is ready for it as he gets him with a knee and then an elbow
drop and into a headlock grounding The Fish.)
HS: “ Smart strategy by Williams, grounding the high flyer.”
FJ: “ You mean getting ready to choke the life out of him.”
HS: “ FRANK! Accept the change, accept it!”
( Fish counters out of the headlock and onto his stomach as he hand stands over
Brian Williams and gets him in a bridge cover but Williams punches up into the
back of Fish and then flips him back over into the headlock wrenching it in
tighter. Fish hit’s a few rights to the head but Brian Williams shakes the
cobwebs and lets loose to tighten the grip but Fish has just enough time to kick
up out of the headlock but not to his feet to his stomach as he kicks Brian
Williams in the face and landing on his stomach.)
HS: “ What a escape that was!”
FJ: “ I don’t know how he does some of the things he does.”
HS: “ No one does, but he is still on the attack.”
(The Fish hit’s the ropes and hit’s the coral crush from the mat and goes for
the cover. ONE…TWO…kickout by Williams and now its Fish who locks in the
headlock. Williams rolsl him over for the cover but only gets a two count and
Fish pushes back down to his butt and locking in the hold tight before he spins
out of it and into a front face lock and then around Williams into a hammerlock
on his back. Williams pushes up on his hands but it only gives The Fish the
chance to go for the full nelson and the Rip Tide but once he flips Williams
pulls his arms to his chest and Fish lands on his back and Williams slaps the
chest of The Fish and gets up to his feet.)
HS: “ These two are really showing what they can do in that ring, it’s proof as
to why they won all the awards they did at Classic this year.”
FJ: “ They are putting on a showing in there and Williams is on his feet which
isn‘t ever a good thing.”
( Williams picks up Fish and sends him to the ropes and catches him with a power
slam crashing him hard to the mat but not going for the cover and getting him
back up to his feet hitting forearms to the face and then a knee to the gut as
he backs him into the corner and then tosses him out of the corner across the
ring. With a hard impact and Fish grabs his back as he grabs the ropes to pull
himself up. Williams makes the charge to the corner but Fish jumps away at the
last second and as he turns around Fish jumps as high as he can with a moonsault
dropkick to the face of Williams and it sends him back into the corner. Fish
climbs up Williams and and hit’s a Tornado DDT out of the corner that has
Williams land on the top of his head and Fish gets up to his feet and points to
the top rope. As the crowd goes crazy.)
HS: “ He’s going up top!”
FJ: “ And the fans love it.”
(Fish ascends the top rope but Brian Williams is getting up already and he goes
to fall on the top rope but Fish jumps off of it and catches Brian Williams in a
hurricanrana and pulls him neck first along the top rope and lands on his feet
on the outside before falling back. And the flash photography was all over on
that one.)
HS: “ My god, hwo did he do that!
( Fish slides back in the ring as Brian Williams grabs his throat and he charges
with a jumping calf kick but Williams catches him and power bombs him to the mat
and holding him there as he goes for a cover.ONE…TWO…THR…KICKOUT! Williams gets
up and looks at The Fish as he grabs him and picks him up hit’s a Spinebuster
right in the center of the ring. He doubles stomps the forehead of The Fish and
Fish rolls over and then he drops a knee to the back of the head.)
HS: “ Williams on the assault and really giving it to Fish here Frank.”
FJ: “ Yea he’s getting ready to go back to his old ways.”
( Williams picks up The Fish and whips him hard into the corner as the ring
practically shakes and Fish stumbles out of the corner and is mat by Williams
picking him up in a sidewalk slam and connecting hard and then goes for a cover.
ONE..TWO…KICKOUT. Williams gets up and goes for the leg of Fish but Fish kicks
up off the mat and goes for a hurricanrana but Williams catches him and pulls
him up and then drops him across his knee with a power bomb like move. And then
picks him up.)
FJ: “ FATES REPRISAL.”
HS: “ He’s got it locked in Frank, this is gonna be it.”
(Fish is yelling and the ref is asking him but he’s just shaking his head and
saying no no, Williams pulls back on it but The Fish springs up and off the mat
backflipping over Williams still holding in the move by the corner and he lands
sitting on the top rope but Williams backs up and charges at the corner but Fish
leaps off of it but Williams catches him and choke slams him to the mat. As the
crowd cheers the match on and the cameras flash. Williams goes for the cover but
sits up before the ref can make a count and pulls The Fish away from the ropes,
he picks up Fish and knees him in the gut and then goes for a short arm
clothesline but Fish ducks under it and goes for a climb up Enziguri but Brian
Williams blocks away his leg with his arm and pushes Fish off spinning him
around and elbowing him in the back and then hitting the morbid reality.)
HS: “ He hit it, Morbid Reality.”
FJ: “THREE!”
HS: “ Brian Williams wins it, but what a fight from Fish.”
(Brian Williams gets up and the ref raisses his hand but he looks down at The
Fish as Fish is pulling himself up to a knee and Williams grabs Fish by the arm
and helps him up standing him up right and extending his hand to The Fish
looking him straight in the eye. The Fish looks at Williams for a second and
then gives him his hand as they shake in the middle of the ring after the match
and then Williams raises both of there arms in the air.)
HS: “ What a match this has been, and oooh what a moment!”
FJ: “ I accept it Herb, I accept it! And Can‘t wait to see what Lethal Louise
does as our temporary Commisioner”
HS: “ With that announcement we can’t wait 5 days but For Frank Jackson ,I’m
Herb Summers and we’ll see you on Xplosion!”
(We fade to the AWA Logo with Fish and Williams standing with there arms up
together.)
