AWA Hell On Earth Pay-Per-View, Sunday January 26th, 2003 - MGM Grand Garden Arena,
Las Vegas, Nevada
FJ – Welcome ladies and gentleman…This is what we have all been waiting
for !! (The scene cuts from the Announcer’s Table and towards the AWA-tron, where the home audience watching this live broadcast join the thousands of screaming fans as Dave Santini’s Dodge Viper comes into view pulling into the parking lot. The screaming fans turn into thousands of boo-ing fans as the Dodge Viper screeches to a halt. Suddenly, from out of nowhere a Cadillac Convertible comes into view, but not any old Cadillac Convertible…A cherry red, Cadillac Convertible and a cherry red, Cadillac Convertible belonging to none other than the “Behemoth of the AWA”…Hangman !! As the Cadillac comes into view, it rams into the side of Dave Santini’s Dodge Viper, before reversing out and speeding out of view. The shot cuts back to the Announcer’s Table as a livid AWA Commissioner emerges from the card to inspect the damage as his fiancee, “Lethal” Louise tries to calm him down… HS – Oh dear…I think the “Hellbringer of the AWA” might
have just annoyed the AWA Commissioner with what just happened (The shot cuts back to the parking lot where we see relative newcomer and AWA Hardcore Title challenger, KO Kid making his way towards the arena. Suddenly, from out of the corner of his eyes he notices Snakebite running towards him. The current AWA Champion starts assaulting him in the parking lot, before sending him crashing into a nearby truck. Snakebite doesn’t relent on his assault, however and proceeds to lift KO Kid up, before delivering a devastating Venom Strike OFF OF THE TOP OF THE TRUCK. KO Kid lays motionless on the ground as a satisfied Snakebite walks towards the arena entrance) FJ – Oh my god. Snakebite just destroyed KO Kid ahead of tonight’s
Hardcore Title Match… Mickey Showery walks down to the ring with his arms raised in response to the cheers and banners of the AWA faithful. In the ring he raises his fist in salute as the cheers grow. Then his opponent arrives... Frank: Here's Rawstarr! Bizzy bone "when thugs cry" blasts from the speakers and Rawstarr stands tall beneath the video wall as a montage of his achievements and the litany of his opponents is flashed in time to his music. Frank: Rawstarr might be thug Herb but he's showing some cool and taking his
time getting down there to face Showery. Herb: Mickey almost took Rawstarr’s head with that arm. Rolling from the blow of Showery's Clothesline, Rawstarr scrambles backwards on his bum to the corner and is trying use the rope to push himself to his feet, but Mickey Showery is not waiting...... Herb: Mickey is in there tight. There's absolutely no room for Rawstarr to
move in there ... no chance for escape as Mickey brings the pain. Rawstarr pulls in his arms tight in an attempt to ward of Showery's rain of blows but Showery quickly tires of the beatdown and grabs Rawstarr’s arms and draws him into a HeadButt that resounds through the arena and draws an 'Ooooh!' of sympathy from the crowd. Mickey, with one hand holding Rawstarr on his feet by an arm Mickey again lands punch after punch on his head and before the ref can protest Mickey Suplex's Rawstarr and goes for the pin... Herb: Mickey making the early pin attempt here .. 2! ... kick out!! Rawstarr is assisted to his feet by Mickey as he pushes him back into that corner and again begins the punishment with Knife edge Chop after Knife Edge Chop. Each crack on Rawstarr’s flesh brings an 'ooh!' from the fans. Mickey pulls Rawstarr into an Irish Whip and Rawstarr almost flies into the opposite turnbuckle; hitting it face on, Mickey is waiting as Rawstarr staggers backwards into the centre of the ring. Frank: Damn this could almost be murder. Mickey is taking Rawstarr apart; Upper Cut! Knife Edge Chop!! A Back Hander to the face!! ... Oh man a Head Butt!!.... Whether planned or by sheer fact that Mickey has wailed on him, Rawstarr seems to suddenly collapse into a sitting position that draws Mickey down into a Jaw Breaker that has Mickey recoiling so hard he is sent almost the full distance back to the turnbuckle. The ref is sharp and checks out both men and stays the count, and instead steps back to allow the two semi-finalists the chance to get to their feet. Herb: Oh man I felt that all the way over here .. Mickey's head must be ringing like a Sunday Morning in Belfast!! Mickey Showery is on his feet but is shaking his head to get some clarity. Seeing that Rawstarr is barely making it off the mat he drops down behind his opponent and locks in a Sleeper Hold. There is barley time for the ref to check the hold before Rawstarr lunges for ringside taking both himself and Showery both under the bottom rope... Herb: A desperate move there by Rawstarr. Mickey takes the momentum to pander to the crowd. Obviously confident after a slick opening to his match Mickey is bouncing and throwing punches like a shadow-boxer while outside the ring Rawstarr is leaning against the pillar of the turnbuckle nursing his head. The ref count against Rawstarr reaches ...8! and Rawstarr is back in. Mickey turns and let Rawstarr get to his feet before bringing it again. Rawstarr takes a punch; rolling with the blow Rawstarr Irish-Whips Mickey Showery, Mickey turn the Whip on Rawstarr sending him into the ropes. Rawstarr bounces and Showery hits the ropes to run crosswise to Rawstarr; Rawstarr hit the opposite ropes and as Showery comes in Rawstarr slides and slams Mickey Showery down into the mat with a Drop Toe Hold!! Rawstarr gets to his feet and crouches, stalking Mickey as he also rises quickly but is returned to the mat by Rawstarr’s SuperKick!! Rawstarr quickly grabs a hold of Mickey and swiftly delivers a DDT .. with his opponent now flat out on the mat. Rawstarr climbs that infamous turnbuckle and the crowd explodes with anticipation of an imminent top-rope move. Mickey stirs and rolls to his stomache to push himself up, no sooner is Mickey Showery to his knees when he all to late becomes aware of the hysteria of the crowd; there is just time to see the lights of realisation come on in his eyes as Rawstarr flies.... Frank: You thought Mickey was committing murder Herb? Looks like Rawstarr is
turning the tables now, I think he just executed Mickey Showery with that Missile
Dropkick. The count reaches a long ..2! when the ref calls it off seeing Mickey Showery's foot on the rope. Rawstarr rises and starts stomping on Mickey Showery!! A kick to the gut has Mickey doubled over and set up .... Mickey dodges the Scissors Kick, hitting the ropes he gets enough momentum to land a Running Elbow into Rawstarr’s back. Rawstarr staggers but keeps his feet and turns to face Mickey in time to see Showery come in for the Spear!!! Both men are sent through the ropes and down onto the mats hard. The refs count begins for the 'ring out.' 1!.. Rawstarr is up and rams Mickey into the security barrier. 2!.. Rawstarr backs off seemingly trying to get some air, Mickey slouches on the barrier; the close up shows him breathing hard but still conscious, 3!.. Rawstarr reaches into his trunks and the fans nearby begin to boo him... Herb: What's that!? What's that backstabber up to, Frank!? 4!.. Mickey starts to regain his composure, the fans reaching out with encouragement. Rawstarr turns on Mickey charging in with a forearm to pin him.. 5!.. Rawstarr rains in the blows. Mickey's instinct brings up his arms to block. It is soon apparent that Rawstarr’s punches are causing great damage as each blow brings a scream of agony from Showery..6!.. Mickey locks in a boxers grapple on Rawstarr and a close up an the two shows massive, bruised welts rising on Showery's arms, and the glint of something metallic in Rawstarr’s hands... Herb: Brass knucks! Rawstarr’s smashing the hell out of Shower outside
the ring with brass knuckles. He’s trying to bring down Showery by corrupting
that bone thing that kept him straight. What an insult on Showery by Rawstarr!
Rawstarr hauls Mickey to the apron and rolls him in, and covertly discards the brass knuckle dusters before chasing after Mickey Showery who is nursing his arms. Rawstarr sees the opportunity and Drop Kicks Showery high where he is holding his bruised limbs, again Showery screams! Rawstarr grabs Mickey by the hair and pulls him to his feet. Yanking on one arm two or three times Rawstarr Irish-Whips Mickey to the corner where he hits hard. Rawstarr is in with a Body Block, but Showery ducks and weaves to come up behind Rawstarr who hits the turnbuckle himself... A dazed Rawstarr turns about and straight into Mickey as he performs a number of well placed head and body blows; Knife Edge Chop! Combo to Rawstarr’s Stomach!! Back hand to the Head! Jab! Jab! Jab! Jab! Reaching for Rawstarr, Mickey pulls him out, and lines Rawstarr up with care before pulling back his fist with almost theatrical drama and slamming Rawstarr with an uppercut to the jaw that sends his opponent sailing to mid ring!!! Herb: I thought we were seeing that earlier on in this match. Fighting Irish by Mickey Showery! Showery pulls the dazed Rawstarr towards him and doubles him over, before signalling to the crowd…He starts to chant towards the crowd…”Bud --- DRIVEE --- ERRRR”… ”Bud --- DRIVEE --- ERRRR”…Bud --- DRIVEE --- ERRRR” !! Soon the crowd catch on and start chanting in sections “Bud”…”Drivee”…”Errrr” as Mickey connects with a leaping Piledriver Herb: It’s Mickey’s Bud-Driver !! Showery hooks the leg of Rawstarr as the ref counts…1…2…3 !! Herb: Cheaters never prosper and Rawstarr got his in the form of the fighting
Irish by Mickey Showery who now advances one step closer to the American Wrestling
Alliance’s Cruiserweight title!! (The AWA-tron flickers once more as the shot cuts to AWA World Title contender, Quade deSade walking away from the camera along one of the many corridors at the MGM Grand complex. Suddenly as he turns a corner, he comes face-to-face with AWA superstar, Dark Warrior. The two AWA World Title contenders stare at each other, before deSade turns to walk away, but as he does, he is thrown towards the nearest wall by Dark Warrior and levelled with a big right. As deSade slumps to the floor, Dark Warrior walks away towards the camera. As he passes the camera. AWA superstar, Bull Majors walks past him as the two men glance at each other on passing, we see Rawstarr come running towards the Hardcore Title contender and levels him with a Crowbar shot to the head. Majors slumps to the floor as Rawstarr walks away from the scene and out of shot of the camera) FJ – Wow, tempers are frayed here at the MGM Arena. We have already seen
KO Kid, Quade deSade and Bull Majors on the wrong side of a beating. Not to
mention Hangman crashing into Santini’s Dodge Viper… ( "Dro in tha Wind," by Trick Daddy begins to play and F Bomb walks through the curtain making belt motions. The crowd boos him although some of the ladies cheer. He walks through the ring, considers going up the stairs, but changes his mind and hides behind the stairs instead. :"Supersonic" by Bad Religion starts up and the fans being to cheer loudly even before Black Dragon steps through the curtain. He walks towards the ring looking confident and slapping hands with the fans. However as soon as he gets close enough to the stairs, F Bomb springboards over them and nails Black Dragon with a clothesline!) FJ: Oh yeah! F Bomb showing how smart he is. He’s gonna finish off Black Dragon in quick fashion and advance to the finals fresh! (F Bomb tosses Black Dragon into the barrier and then rolls back into the ring as the bell sounds. He then encourages the referee to count out Dragon) HS: Black Dragon is way too talented to be beaten that easily. ( BD rolls back into the ring and is quickly stomped by F Bomb. He whips him off of the ropes and is caught with a cross body block. Black Dragon only gets one, however and is quickly stopped with a clothesline. F Bomb Snapmares him down and then Dropkicks him in the face. He covers and nets a two count. F Bomb then clamps on a chin lock as the crowd begins to chant for Dragon) FJ: Chant all you want it isn’t gonna save the Dragon.. Choke him out
F Bomb! (F Bomb continues to choke him with the chin lock until Dragon is able to regain his footing and then flip out of the chin lock and monkey flip F Bomb to the ground! F Bomb quickly gets up but is caught with a mexican armdrag! A bodyslam follows and F Bomb stays down this time. This allows Black Dragon to scale the ropes and come off with a legdrop! He hooks the leg and get a close two count. Black Dragon pulls him to his feet and scores with the Dragon Plunge! He makes another cover but F Bomb is able to get his hand on the ropes to force a break at two. ) HS: Black Dragon is really turning up the pressure now. (Dragon pulls F Bomb to the middle of the ring and covers again but only scores another two count. So he whips him to the corner and follows it in with some hard kicks to the chest followed by the spinning kick that sends F Bomb up and over the top rope! Black Dragon works the crowd and gets the approval he seeks and then some. So he delivers a no hands plancha to the floor onto F Bomb! The crowd goes nuts as he sets up F Bomb against the railing and climbs to the ring apron. He comes off with a cross body and sends both men into the crowd! “Black Dragon chants starts up and a loud cheer is heard from the crowd!) FJ: C’mon F Bomb, you better do something quick or this one is over. (Black Dragon crawls over the railing and barely beats the referee’s count back into the ring. Not wanting to win on a countout he rolls back out to break the referee’s count at 9, and pulls F Bomb back over the railing. He rolls him into the ring and sets him up for a dragon suplex. He delivers it, then pulls him back up for a second, but F Bomb counters it by dropping down and victory rolling Dragon for a close two count. BD comes back with chops, perhaps shocked at how close the pin attempt was. He quickly reddens the chest of F Bomb. He whips F Bomb to the other corner but it is reversed and Dragon hits head first. F Bomb leaps to the top rope and quickly lands a neckbreaker! He hooks both legs and the referee’s hand almost hits the mat for three. F Bomb argues with the referee about the count then suplexes Black Dragon! He climbs to the top rope and lands the frog splash! F Bomb gets up and raises his hands to the crowd drawing some jeers. He then covers but only gets two. F Bomb slaps the mat in frustration and lines up Black Dragon for the Spy Kick. He hits it dead on! Black Dragon crumples to the mat as F Bomb covers by sitting down on his chest. At the count of two Black Dragon reverses it into a sunset flip. He also gets a two count but then F Bomb is the first to his feet and he DDTs him to the mat. F Bomb climbs to the top rope and readies himself for the soaring eagle.. However long before he meets his target, Black Dragon rolls out of the way. Amazingly F Bomb is able to land on his feet and is quickly backslides Black Dragon getting a two count) FJ: You can’t tell me F Bomb isn’t great after seeing that move!
(F Bomb tries to follow things up with a spear but Black Dragon sees it coming and counters him with a sidestep then a Short Powerbomb! Both men are on the mat as the crowd encourages Black Dragon. Bomb is the first to his feet but his punch is quickly blocked, and Dragon counters with a superkick of his own! Black Dragon leaps to the top rope and comes off it with his Moonsault Press. The referee’s hand slaps the mat twice only however. An undaunted Black Dragon delivers a German Suplex then his standing Moonsault/Plancha and Moonsault combo. However before he can execute the Moonsault part.. F Bomb pulls the referee into Black Dragon’s path. Dragon tends to the official while F Bomb busies himself with a low blow! He then rolls out of the ring and grabs himself a steel chair. He takes a swing but Dragon saw him coming and ducks. He boots him in the chest and pulls the chair away, quickly tossing it over the top rope! However this allows F Bomb to drop him to the mat again with a forearm to the back.) FJ: He should have cheated when he had the chance. Now it’s over! (F Bomb pulls Black Dragon to the top rope and goes for a Superplex but is pushed off! Black Dragon then nails his 450 splash! He quickly pulls F Bomb back to his feet and hooks in the dragon sleeper! F Bomb tries to fight it, but he is unable to escape and taps out! The crow gives a very loud cheer as Black Dragon‘s hand is raised. ) HS: What a hard fought victory by Black Dragon! He is moving to the finals with a very impressive win! Black Dragon is my pick to win the Cruiserweight Title, if only so he can spite Dave”The Rave” Santini. (Suddenly with a strange feeling of co-incidence, “Pour Some Sugar On Me” by Def Leppard begins to play over the PA System and none other than AWA Commissioner, Dave”The Rave” Santini, with his delightful fiancee, “Lethal” Louise on his arm make their way towards the ring as the crowd begin to boo in the direction of the “Couple Of The AWA”. Dave Santini climbs up upon the ring apron and holds the ropes up as the gorgeous “Lethal” Louise elegantly steps into the ring. Dave takes his mic from out of his dark suit pocket and begins to address the crowd…) SANTINI – Well ladies and Gentleman…Tonight’s the night !! That’s
right…The most famous night in AWA History. The night in which the nine
biggest superstars in AWA history will all get the opportunity to prove to the
whole of this federation…WHO EXACTLY IS THE GREATEST EVER WORLD CHAMPION
OF ALL TIME. Now Quade deSade, before you get all proud of your achievements
in the AWA. I’m not actually talking about you. You are there for one reason
and one reason only…SO THAT I…DAVE SANTINI CAN KICK YOU AROUND THIS
VERY RING BEFORE SENDING YOU UP AND OVER THE TOP ROPE AND RUNNING FROM THE AWA
FOR GOOD !! I do believe you’ve already had a little visit from Dark Warrior.
SANTINI – Now it seems the likes of Ray Owens, Hangman and Steven Caldera have had nothing better to do all week than spend it talking to endless camera crews in the hope of trying to prove to some people around here that it is them that are worthy to be called “THE GREATEST EVER WORLD CHAMPION OF ALL TIME”, but gentleman listen and listen good…It is I, Dave Santini…The man that was robbed by a certain Steven Caldera of the very same title the last time I held it that will walk away from this very arena with the belt firmly strapped around my waist. Guys, you can deny the truth all you want, but the facts remain the same…DAVE SANTINI IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE THE GREATEST !! (The volume of the crowd intensifies as Dave Santini hands the mic to his delightful-looking fiancee, Louise as she starts to talk…) FJ – HE’S THE MAN, Herb !! LOUISE – Hello, my public !! My adoring fans…each and every one of you. Every single female in this very arena wishes, hopes and prays that one day, just for one moment that you could be even half the women that I am…and each and every single one of you males, you HOT-BLOODED MALES think about a lady like me every second of the day, just the thought of being able to touch and carress the beautiful body that stands in front of you !! HS – What planet is she on ? LOUISE - …but there is one particular women, one specific lady that really has got my attention… (Suddenly, “Vivrant Thing” by Q-Tip starts to play and the gorgeous Lustful Laura stands on the rampway. “Lethal” Louise seems to get redder and redder in the ring as the applause for one half of the Tag Team Champions gets louder and louder and Laura makes her way towards the ring. She circles the ring as her music plays out and is just about to respond to Louise’s comments when “Back In The Saddle” strikes up and Hangman appears from through the crowd…) FJ – OH MY GOD…Things are about to explode here !! (Hangman stares towards the ring to where “The Couple of the AWA” are standing. Santini and Hangman lock their sights on each other as the arena seems to freeze at the prospect of what is about to kick off…Suddenly without warning, Hangman grabs Laura and pulls her towards him, grabbing her and placing his right-gloved hand around her face in a Facial Claw… HS – OH MY GODDDDDDD !! (Hangman wastes no time in hoisting the Blonde Bombshell high up in the air and with unnerving power sends her crashing down through the Announcer’s Table with a Southern Comfort Slam. Laura lies amidst the rumble and wreckage as “Back In The Saddle” strikes up once more. He mouths towards the camera “NEXT TIME LORI, IT COULD BE YOU” before stalking off from where he appeared HS – Frank, What just happened ? (EMT’s rush to Laura’s aid as Frank and Herb survey the damage in front of them and as Laura is stretchered from the arena and “The Couple of the AWA” make their way towards the back, “Tear Away” starts to play over the PA System HS – As the wreck before us gets cleared away, I’m afraid to say the show must go on…and it’s time for the AWA Television Title Match. Will Scott’s already making his way to the ring… The former TV champ, bounces out of the entryway, down to the ring, and slides in. Scott raises his arms and gets some more cheers from the crowd. Those small cheers turns to boos, though, as "What's This Life For" begins to play and Misery stalks out of the entrance, the AWA World Television Title gleaming brightly around his waist. He takes his time getting down to the ring, and slides in. As the bell rings, Misery throws his title out of the ring and offers his left hand to Scott, his right hand concealed in his pocket… FJ – Misery is starting the psychological games already Scott reluctantly takes his hand, shaking it twice. He nods once to Misery, right as Misery delivers a vicious shot clean across his forehead with a pair of cold, hard brass knuckles in his right hand. Scott jerks, then falls to the mat. Misery laughs, then slides out and returns quickly with a chair. Misery retreats to a corner, getting down in a hitting position and waits for Scott to get to his feet. As Scott finally stumbles up, he jerks around just in time to see Misery dart at him. Misery tosses Scott the chair, intending to use his knuckled fist to drive it hard into Scott's skull. Scott, however, somehow has the awareness to smash the chair clean across Misery's skull. Misery drops like a dead deer, Scott slides out of the ring afterwards. Scott pulls Misery out by the hair, throwing him up onto the ramp, and pulling out a kendo stick from under the ring. HS – The Hardcore Title match is later Misery stands with his back to Scott, and delivers a vicious blow to the base of Misery's back. Misery drops to his knees, grabbing his back in pain. Scott then raises the stick high over his head, and brings it smashing down over Misery's neck. Misery falls flat on the steel as the stick breaks in two, the crowd wondering if Misery's neck isn't broken. Scott runs off the ramp and to the area underneath the stage, setting up two tables, one on top of the other. He grabs a ladder from the technical area, jogging back up the steps on the side of the stage and setting the ladder up on the edge of the stage. He jogs back to Misery and drags him up the ramp by the hair. Scott places Misery's body at the base of the side of the ladder facing the tables and begins climbing the other side of the ladder. As he does, he pulls Misery up the other side by the hair. The crowd knows Scott is about to mess Misery up real, real bad. However, life comes back to Misery at the top of the ladder, as he hit Scott across the forehead with knucks again. Scott's body goes limp, but his weight heaves forward, pushing the ladder with it. The ladder oddly hinged on one leg, though, twists onto its side and Misery and Scott both go smashing through the two tables. The two men lie in a pile of table shards and ladder. HS – Are they both still alive, Frank ? Misery is the first to get to his feet, a huge red mark on his back from the kendo stick shot. He pulls Scott up by the hair, dragging him slowly down to the ring and tries to throw him in. However, he winds up only throwing a handful of Scott's hair into the ring. Laughing, he picks Scott up and rolls him in under the ropes. He pulls a trashcan out from under the ring, and rolled it in. He then pulls out a sledgehammer and a roll of a duct tape, and slides back in. Next, he pulls Scott up, and gives him another vicious shot in the head with the brass knuckles. Scott again falls, twitching a little on the mat. Misery leans Scott up in the turnbuckle and places the trashcan across his abdomen. He then uses the roll of duct tape to tape Scott and the trashcan around the turnbuckle… HS – What is he doing ? The crowd begins to shudder as Misery picks up the sledgehammer, a sick smile on his face as he begins to stalk towards Scott. Scott looks dazed, but he can see something bad was about to happen. He tries desperately to get free, but there is little he can do as Misery draws the sledge back to his right and smashes it as hard as he can right into the trashcan in front of Scott's abdomen. A loud "Oh!" is heard from the crowd as Scott cries out in horrible agony. Scott again heaves foward, ripping the tape off the turnbuckle and falling on the trashcan. Scott holds his abdomen and ribcage, crying out in pain. Misery laughs as he stomps down hard several times on Scott's ribcage, Scott howling from the pain and spitting up blood each time. FJ – We’re seeing an even more brutal side to Misery than we’ve even ever seen before However, Misery doesn't see Scott's hand gripping the handle of the sledgehammer. Misery is about to deliver a devastating chair shot to Scott's ribcage with the chair he'd been hit earlier, but Scott pops the sledgehammer up out of the nowhere right into Misery's testicles. HS – Ouch…That’s gotta hurt Misery's mouth opens and his eyes light up, but he can not speak as he falls to the mat. Misery lays on the mat, his face looking red enough to explode as he clutches between his legs. Finally, after a minute, both men got back to their feet. Once again, they stare each other down, Misery's hand still on his jewels, Scott hunched over, bright, red, thick blood dripping from his mouth. They are just about to tear each other apart when the lights go out and "Revelation (Mother Earth)" by Ozzy Osbourne began to play. FJ – WHAT ? The song cuts straight to Randy Rhodes' distorted guitar, and plays for a minute before the lights came back on. The music stops and both Misery and Scott are lying sprawled out flat on their backs in the middle of the ring. Neither man is moving. Finally, Misery manages to turn his shoulder and drapes his arm over onto Scott's bloody chest. The ref's hand slaps the mat three times, and the bell rings, Misery being announced as the winner. It takes Misery a minute, but he finally stumbles back up to his feet and regains himself. He throws the AWA Television Title over his shoulder and raises his arms to some boos. Suddenly, the lights go out again and a powerful white strobe light began to flash. A man dressed all in black appears in the entrance, his face lit with white light so that only his left eye can be seen. HS – Who’s the stranger, Frank ? He lifts his black arm and points a black finger down at Misery. The lights go off for a second, the strobe goes off and Misery stands wide-eyed in the ring, wondering, like the crowd, what had just happened? Something seems to come over Misery then. Scott is still down and Misery picks up the chair. Acting as if he was demonically possessed, he raises the chair up and thrusts it hard several times down into Scott's busted abdomen. Scott coughs up more blood, hardly conscious anymore. Misery lifts Scott up and throws him into the turnbuckle. He picks up the roll of duct tape, picking up the trashcan and taping it to Scott and turnbuckle like he had before. This time though, he tapes Scott's arms and legs around the turnbuckle as well. Misery lifts the sledgehammer, horrible thoughts passing through his brain. He draws the sledge back and blasts it into Scott's side. Scott heaves forward, more blood flying from his mouth. Misery beats Scott horribly with the sledge. More and more blood begins to drizzle from Scott's mouth. Misery continues smashing the sledge into Scott's sides for all he is worth. The trashcan, which has broken in places, cuts into Scott's flesh, making blood run out from under the trashcan. Finally, it seems Misery is done, but he draws the sledge back one final time and whips it hard right across Scott's left temple. Scott's head snaps hard to the left, then hangs limply, along with the rest of his body. A steady stream is coming from Scott's mouth now as paramedics rush down to cut Scott loose, loading him up carefully onto a backboard and then onto a stretcher. Misery just looks on, smiling hideously at what he has done. The fans boo loudly as Misery raises his arms and his Television Title, but as the medics rush Scott to an ambulance, Misery runs out to the ambulance with them and as they prepare to load Scott in and spits right into Scott's bloody eye. FJ – Well if Misery’s brutality over Scott wasn’t sufficient
in last week’s Cage Match, he certainly has finished the job here tonight
(The scene cuts backstage where we witness the “Hellbringer of the AWA”, Hangman changing the names of Dark Warrior’s and Ray Owens’ Dressing Rooms around. As he casually walks away from the scene of the crime, we see Vapor Adams emerge from his own Dressing Room waving a note in his hand. The note reads : “More than just the surf is up boyh!”, upon closer inspection we notice that inside the room a Surfboard has been set alight. The scene then cuts to Quade deSade’s Dressing Room) (Quade DeSade is in his locker room getting prepared for his match up. He appears to be very focussed as he does not notice Misery sneaking up behind him with a baseball bat. Misery taps him on the shoulder with the bat) Misery: Just wanted to let you how easy it is to sneak up on a man. I could have taken you right there. Good luck in your match tonight.. I'll see you around... (Misery turns and walks out the door) (The scene cuts back to Frank and Herb…) HS – It seems that Hangman is hell-bent on terrorising each and every
possible challenger to the World Crown here tonight A sudden chill drifts down on the arena as echoing sounds of the electric guitar blare out of the PA system. The music speeds up and as the blaring sounds explode, a sudden rush of darkness creeps down on the arena. “Cold” by Static X continues to echo off the arena's walls. Flames shoot up from the four ring posts in colours of blue and purple quickly followed by the lights returning. As the smoke clears, none other than Dragon and Desires stand in the arena, staring out into the fans as their ovation thunders throughout the arena. The music slowly fades out. The two of them step into the ring, determination covering their faces. However, the determination fades quickly to confusion, as 'Notorious' by Duran Duran hits and out pop the Blonde Bombshells with Suavio Mega. Everyone in the audience has a confused expression – they don’t know whether to laugh, cheer, or just stay quiet, they’re all visualising both Lustful Laura and Luscious Lori wearing hardhats with headlamps on them – but the wackiness doesn’t end there – their hardhats say, “FIGHTING AS ONE WITH THE SUAVI-NATION!” Also, they are pointing towards the ring with rulers in their hand, as the crowd begins to start a steady chuckling, and to the amazement of AWA itself, the crowd begins laughing! As if they’d just been recording laughs for a sitcom, the humour of the audience was very much into the appearance of the Blonde Bombshells. As the two enter the ring, it is apparent that Laura is hurting; that vicious blow she received from Hangman gave her an injury of great magnitude. She limps around in the ring a little bit; trying to make sure she doesn’t further injure herself. Not too long after however, “Dro in tha Wind”, by Trick Daddy begins booming over the speakers. Coming out from the back, are Notorious, looking no different from the way they usually dress. The fans throw in a couple of cheers, but most of the audience is on their feet, booing as both men come down to the ring. The camera quickly pans around, showing one man throwing his empty soda cup at the two, definitely stating that they are not the ones that are liked in this match. They taunt the crowd just before entering the ring, where they are met by a pumped-up Dragon, throwing in left and right punches on both of them, even though their music hasn’t even been cut. Finally, all the sounds clear away and the bell rings. HS – We’re ready to go, Herb. Can the Blonde Bombshells do it ? F-bomb runs quickly from the ring, leaving Poppa the legal man for Notorious against an adrenaline pumped Dragon. Meanwhile, Laura is left in the ring, still hurting, but not bothering to get involved with the match just yet, watching both Dragon and Poppa as she lays in wait. Back to the action, Poppa is still getting thrashed in the ring; he gets a nasty spinebuster from Dragon, who quickly turns to Darkest Desires and makes the tag. She runs in kicking Dragon rapidly and drops a leg across his chest. She throws herself down on him, hoping to score an early pin – the ref is about to slam his hand down hard for a three count, when Laura comes over and breaks up the pin. She grabs Desires by the hair and pulls her up, making the crowd erupt into cheers as she lands a devastating impact DDT. Laura springs right back up to her feet, when suddenly F-Bomb decides to dash into the ring and lay her flat with a clothesline. The ref struggles to pull Bomb out of the ring, but is pushed aside by Poppa, who has got back to his feet. Both members of Notorious give Laura a brutal double suplex. F-Bomb goes to the ring apron and Poppa goes in for a pin, obviously not realising that F-Bomb had knocked the referee out when he shoved him. FJ – The ref is out of it at the moment, Herb Poppa runs to the ref to get him up, while Dragon hops into the ring with a chair. He slams it over Poppa’s head, where soon after Luscious Lori who couldn’t keep herself from the ring for too long meets Dragon with a low blow. Seeing this intensity, F-Bomb jumps back into the ring and total chaos breaks loose! All six people are brawling with each other in some way, just as the ref is getting back up. He observes this madness and shakes his head, forcing the illegal partners back to the apron. Meanwhile, Desires crawls back to her feet. She sees that both Poppa and Laura are down, so she gives her attention to Laura, the obvious easier target. Desires lifts up Laura to her feet, just to smash her back down with a deadly clothesline. She goes right for the pin, but the ref only gets a mere one count, as it is broken up by an energy drained Poppa. Poppa’s head is busted wide open from the chair shot and he manages to stagger over to F-Bomb and makes the tag.F-Bomb rushes Desires, who manages to get back to her feet, only to give her a torso-mangling spear, as Laura tags Lori in. HS – Ouch…F-Bomb just slammed Desires back down to the mat with authority !! (Suddenly “Hail To The Chief” starts up and President Gray appears on the rampway to a chorus of boos. He pulls a mic out of his jacket pocket and starts to talk as he slowly paces towards the ring…) HS – What’s he doing out here ? GRAY – HEY BLONDE BOMBSHELLS !! That’s right Luscious Lori…Lustful Laura, I’m talking to you !! You see, when it comes to Tag Teams in the American Wrestling Alliance, I’m sure everyone in this arena would agree with the fact that YOU HAVE TO BE THE BIGGEST JOKE OF A TAG TEAM THAT’S EVER GRACED THE AWA…I thought Twizted Kindred were bad enough, but you two… (Gray turns around to face the hissing and jeering crowd as he continues with his rant) GRAY – You see, my hatred for Elimination Enterprises is no secret, but I can no longer stand back and watch one of the premier Title Belts in the American Wrestling Alliance be held by a couple of “girls” with absolutely NO TALENT WHATSOEVER !! …and me and every single individual person in this arena knows that the team that should be holding those title belts…ARE NOTORIOUS !! (The volume of the crowd’s jeering intensifies) GRAY, Now Laura…let me say a few things to you specifically… (Laura turns around and glares in the direction of President Gray) GRAY – Laura, just last week, you thought you could lay your hands on “Lethal” Louise… (The crowd start to cheer as they are reminded of Laura’s “EE Makeover” on “Lethal” Louise just last week, but that cheer is replaced with shock and a sudden gasp as they look towards the ring and see F-Bomb suddenly jerk an unfocussed Lori towards the ropes with an Irish Whip, before catapulting himself across the ring with a devastating spear onto the prone body of Lori as she returns to the centre of the ring. Lori goes limp as she crumples to the mat. Laura, still unaware of what is happening behind her doesn’t notice Lori stagger to her feet just as F-Bomb connects with a Spy Kick straight to the jaw of the Blonde Bombshell. Lori crashes to the mat once more. F-Bomb drags Lori off the mat and sends Lori crashing to the mat with a hard Spinebuster, Lori clutches at her back and screams out in pain as Desires staggers to her feet and Laura realises what is happening in the centre of the ring, but both girls are too late to react to F-Bomb pinning Lori and eliminating the Blonde Bombshells) GRAY - …so just call tonight revenge !! (Gray starts to laugh as he walks away from the ring and disappears backstage) Back in the ring F-Bomb and Darkest Desires tie up, but F-Bomb wins the struggle – he lands a powerful snap suplex on Desires. F-Bomb makes a tag for Poppa and the two begin double teaming Desires, but they are unable to pull anything off because Dragon interferes and breaks them off of Darkest Desires! The ref gets Dragon back to the ring apron, while Notorious give Desires a dual flapjack. F-Bomb finally leaves the ring and Poppa lifts up Desires and nails a nasty snap power bomb. He decides to get cocky and goes on the top ropes, where he attempts to land an elbow drop, but Desires moves! She crawls over to the corner and makes the tag to Dragon! Dragon rushes into the ring, pumped up and ready to go! He clotheslines Poppa, he knocks F-Bomb off the ring apron! Dragon doesn’t stop there – he thrusts himself over the top rope and comes crashing down on F-Bomb with a swanton bomb! The crowd goes insane and gives a standing ovation of cheers! Back in the ring, Desires is getting helplessly thrashed by Poppa, but Dragon storms right into the confrontation. He gives Poppa a choke slam, a rarity for Dragon. F-Bomb tries to pry Dragon off of Poppa, but he too gets a choke slam! Dragon runs up the turnbuckle, waits for F-Bomb to stagger back up, and then gives him a hurricanranna off of the top. Poppa has come to his senses once again and rushes Dragon down with a spear. He springs back up, a cocky grin on his face, only to turn around to Darkest Desires, who releases her Dark combination – a kick to the mid section, a kick to the chin, and once Poppa is out on the mat, she jumps up to the top turnbuckle to deliver a wicked moonsault! Desires goes in for the pin, the ref gets down, the crowd stands up, “1, 2, 3!” The crowd erupts like a geyser into a thousand cheers coming from all sides and the ref presents the Dark Rulers with the tag team titles! HS – We have new AWA Tag Team Champions, Frank. The Dark Rulers have done

HS – Hang on Herb, we’re going backstage again The AWA-tron flickers and the scene pops up in the backstage area and KO Kid is seen walking around the hallway. He heads up towards a soda machine and pops a Coke. Out of nowhere, Rival and Justin Sane start attacking KO Kid. Justin has a wooden baseball bat in hand. Rival holds KO Kid's arms from the back and Justin nails KO in the stomach with the bat. KO gets on his knee gasping for air. Justin swings the bat and nails KO Kid in the back making the bat brake in half!! KO Kid is still on the ground gasping for air. Bull Majors comes out of nowhere with a steel chair! Bull hits KO Kid in the ribcage repeatedly with the steel chair. Justin and Rival just stare at him. Vacamas jumps in the scene, jumps on Rival and Justin from behind making the Insane A-Rival go down. Bull turns his attention to Vacamas and nails him in the head with steel chair. Rival pulls Vacamas up by the hair and slams him against the wall. Justin kicks Vacamas in the stomach and applies the Insane Cutter on the concrete floor! The scene fades back to the ring area, focussing on the curtains on top of the steel ramp. Bull Majors comes out followed by Justin Sane and Rival. FJ: What is Bull Majors doing with Insane A-Rival coming down to the ring?
Bull Majors, Justin Sane and Rival get in the ring and Bull Majors has a microphone in hand. They stand side by side and Bull raises the microphone towards his mouth. Bull- What we did backstage earlier was exactly what you, the fans, wanted to see happen to those two boys? (The fans erupt) It was time for them to be shown what it felt like to be attacked and left laying on the cold concrete. We did it for the AWA camera crew! And we did it for our damn selves! Vacamas and KO Kid wanted to put all of you down! And ride roughshot over any non-wrestler that they encountered. Well, now they see what happens when N'SANITY grips the AWA! The fans want it! And the three of us want it!" Bull and Rival high-five to the delight of the fans. Bull- Let me allow the new young lions of this federation to say a few words. Bull hands the mic over to Rival and he gets a low but steady reaction from the crowd Rival- We warned a couple of things to the people in the back after we made our official appearance at Shock last Saturday. We told all of you that at Hell on Earth we were going to make and impact on the AWA! From now on get used to seeing the three of us together, after tonight's incident, Bull will most definately need someone to watch his back and Justin and myself will also need someone to watch our back, not as much as Bull but we WILL need some backup on future matches. The N'Sanity will be the most dominant stable in the AWA history and we will prove you all just that! Crowd erupts and start chanting Bull's name. Few people, though, chant Insane A-Rival's name. Rival hands the mic to Justin. Justin looks around the crowd and raises his right hand high in the air. Bull and Rival do the same. Justin lowers his arm and rises the mic towards his mouth. Sane- This goes out to all the tag teams back there. The N'Sanity WILL, in fact, if they have to, beat every single one of you, one by one, to capture the tag team gold and no one... and I mean NO ONE can do a damn thing about it! KO Kid, you shall ALWAYS fear the INSANE!! Justin hands the mic to Rival Rival- A rivalry has.... BEGUN!! Suddenly 'Elite' by Deftones starts blasting through the P.A. system and the three man in the ring embrace to the complete delight of the fans. Rival, Bull Majors and Justin Sane, side-by-side slowly go back to the backstage area... FJ: Fans, you hear it, a shocking announcement by N'Sanity, the newest Stable
in the AWA (The camera pans around the arena to the screaming fans in anticipation for the Six-Man Hardcore Title Match as “Real Thing” strikes up over the PA System and a confident-looking LJ Vacamas makes his way to the ring, brandishing a huge metal bar…He climbs into the ring and is closely followed by Eric Kirvic and Bull Majors as “Get To The Gone” and “Who We B” starts to play, respectively. Majors swings his Louiseville Slugger a few times as if about to step up to the plate, before climbing into the ring. Kirvic starts to pull on the ropes as Vacamas and Majors stare at each other from across the ring. Tim”The Giant” is the next to come out, but his music is abruptly stopped as KO Kid comes running out and ambushes the 6’7 monster. KO Kid and “The Giant” battle their way to the ring as “Back In The Saddle” by Aerosmith starts up and the current AWA Hardcore Champion, Snakebite…Poolstick in hand, hits the ring running. KO Kid and Tim”The Giant” eventually make it into the ring as the atmosphere explodes as Vacamas and Majors start brawling as do Kirvic and Snakebite and the two-tiered Cage starts to lower) FJ – Herb, WE’RE READY TO RUMBLE !! (The match begins, as the door is locked. Snakebite swings his "Southern Pride at Kirvic. Kirvic sidesteps him and is hit with a big boot by Tim the Giant. KO Kid then walks into the scene, pulling a Staple Gun from out of nowhere and staples the head of Tim the Giant with the staple gun. On the other side of the ring, Bull Majors and LJ Vacamas have dropped their respective weapons and begin battling for an upper hand, delivering solid rights and lefts. Snakebite walks over and introduces his "Southern Pride" to the back of Bull Majors. Before Vacamas gets the upper hand Snakebite cracks him in the head with the"Southern Pride". FJ: Snakebite looks to be introducing his pool-stick to his opponents. (Majors and Vacamas both attempt to battle their way back to their feet, but each time their efforts are met with a crack across the back with a shot from the “Southern Pride”. Across the other side of the ring, Tim”The Giant” smashes his trusty steel chair across the back of Kirvic’s head, Kirvic is cut open as the chair dents on impact as he is catapulted towards the wall of the steel cage head-first…) HS – Oh nooo, there’s blood already (Kirvic connects head-first with the cage and slumps to the mat, however as Tim turns around, still brandishing the dented steel chair, he walks straight into a Superkick straight into the chair, knocking the chair into his face, Tim crumples to the mat, instantly dropping the dented steel chair…) FJ – Oh yes, KO Kid nearly took his head off with that move…He isn’t even moving (KO Kid capitalises on the situation and drags Tim to his feet, he doubles him over with a shot to the midsection before hoisting him high into the air and dropping him on his head with an “Iron Fist”…his patented Piledriver straight onto the steel chair. Tim’s head bounces off the steel on impact as he lays motionless on his back. KO Kid looks towards the stirring Kirvic, before looking down at his arch-rival, Tim”The Giant” and laying in a few stomps. He looks up once more and glances across the ring only to receive a shot from Snakebite’s Poolstick right between the eyes…) HS – BULLSEYE !! (Snakebite’s shot staggers KO Kid backwards towards the wall of the cage, as Snakebite comes charging in and blasts KO Kid with four more shots with his trusty “Southern Pride”. Snakebite follows it up by jabbing the poolstick into KO Kid’s midsection and then cracks the ‘stick over the back of KO Kid’s head. KO Kid joins the grounded bodies of Tim”The Giant” and Eric Kirvic on the mat as Snakebite looks around for his next victim…) HS – Snakebite is creating havoc with his “Southern Pride”. No-one is safe from the Hardcore Champion tonight, not even you Frank !! (The focus of the match switches to Vacamas and Majors as they both rise to their feet. As they both stand they look straight into each other’s eyes and begin to trade blow after blow. First Majors, then Vacamas, then Majors and then Vacamas again as each man struggles valiantly to try and gain the upper hand. The struggle between two of the AWA’s hottest up-and-coming Superstars ends as Vacamas drops down to his knees, catching Majors with a lowblow that has Majors howling in pain. Vacamas turns around and hoists the huge metal bar into the air that he brought with him. He taunts Bull Majors to get to his feet and Clotheslines him back down to the mat with the bar as he does. Majors is quickly back to his feet though, but Vacamas once again runs him down with a shot to the head with the bar. Majors crashes to the mat, clutching at a wound that has been opened up by the shot to the head. Vacamas drops the bar and pulls Majors to his feet, he launches him across the ring with an Irish Whip and as Majors connects with the steel cage, Vacamas picks up a nearby set of ladders and sets off running across the ring, crushing Majors between the wall of the steel cage and the uncompromising set of ladders. Majors screams out in pain as Vacamas pulls him to his feet and goes for a Suplex, however before dropping him to the mat, he brings Majors back down, driving him head-first into the steel ladders with a devastating “SHUTDOWN”. Blood starts to pour from Majors’ open wound as Vacamas looks around for more weapons…) FJ – Blood, more blood, Herb (Vacamas looks above him to the second level of the cage and notices that the top level is littered with more interesting Hardcore tools…) FJ – Look, Vacamas has found the presents from our President !! (As Vacamas looks above him, he grins at the sight of ladders, chairs, fire extinguishers, “Stop” signs, sledgehammers, trashcans, tables, ropes and many more. Vacamas starts to scale the cage walls in search of his new-found treasure. He tries to open the hatch leading into the second tie, but fails to unlock it. Across the other side of the ring, a resurgent Kirvic had just dispatched Snakebite and KO Kid with subsequent Jumping DDT’s. Tim attempts a Running Clothesline, but Kirvic ducks it, before nailing Tim with a Spear, coming off the ropes. Snakebite is first to his feet, but he is met with a Spinning Kick and a HARD Powerbomb. Tim”The Giant” is the next up, but a running Clothesline has no effect on the 378lbs monster. Kirvic sets off running towards the ropes and attempts another Running Clothesline, but an outstretched right hand by Tim stops him in his tracks as it grabs Kirvic around the neck. Kirvic fires off a couple of back elbows, but to no effect as “The Giant” hoists him high up into the air and straight back down with an awesome “TokeSlam”…) HS – Wow…What power !! (Tim glances back across the ring as KO Kid staggers to his feet, however a Running Clothesline by KO Kid is cut aggressively short as Tim launches himself across the ring and virtually spears KO Kid out of his boots. “The Giant” pulls the limp KO Kid towards him, hoisting him high up into the air in a Gorilla Press Slam motion, but instead of slamming him back down to the mat after pressing him in mid-air, he launches him towards the cage wall, the impact knocking Vacamas off as he continues to try and find his way up into level two. Vacamas just about manages to prevent himself from crashing down to the mat as he extends his right hand and manages to grab hold of the roof of the cage…) HS – LJ is hanging on for dear life (As Vacamas continues to grab hold of the roof of the cage. Majors starts to climbs the nearest turnbuckle and Vacamas can do nothing except look on in horror as Bull Majors launches himself from the top rope and SPEARS Vacamas in mid-air. Both Superstars crash to the floor as the hatch linking the two cages finally comes loose. As Vacamas and Majors hits the mat, the first cage is littered with a variety of extra Hardcore tools from the top cage, most of them landing on top of Majors and Vacamas in the centre of the ring…) HS – Ohhhhh myyyyyyy Goddddddddd !! (Snakebite and Tim are continuing to battle against each other and just as it seems as though Tim is getting the upperhand, he is nailed from behind with a chair shot by Kirvic. Snakebite uses the momentum to deliver a “Snakebitten” to the dazed “Giant”, before dropkicking the chair back into Kirvic’s face, however, KO Kid grabs the Hardcore Champion from behind and delivers two Suplex’s in quick succession. With all five men now down, KO Kid sets up the ladders in the centre of the ring and starts to climb into the second cage, he has a rummage around and selects a bright red fire extinguisher as Snakebite starts to climb the ladder behind him, Snakebite receives a shot to the top of his head for his efforts before KO Kid drags him up the last couple of rungs on the ladder and whips him into the wall of the second cage. Tim is the next competitor to try and climb the ladder, but on getting halfway up, Kirvic launches himself at the ladder, knocking himself out and sending Tim and the ladder crashing into the steel cage. Tim lands awkwardly on top of the ladder with his right leg trapped underneath as the attention in the match switches to a waking LJ Vacamas and Bull Majors) FJ – Tim”The Giant” is in a whole world of pain after landing
awkwardly on those ladders, Herb (Both Vacamas and Bull battle there way to their feet, Majors gaining the advantage this time as he ducks a clubbing forearm and connects with a kick, followed by a Inplant DDT. Vacamas staggers to his feet, only to walk straight into a chair shot by Majors. Bull then throws the now-dented chair towards Vacamas, who catches it, but failed to react quick enough as Bull brandishes his Louiseville Slugger and connects with the chair with all the strength left in him. The chair is sent flying back into Vacamas’ face, who slumps to the mat…) HS – GOING, GOING…GONE !! THAT’S OUTTA HERE…GOODNIGHT…IT’S
1-0 TO BULL AT THE TOP OF THE SECOND !! (Vacamas clutches his face as he slumps to the mat as Bull spins around looking for his next victim, unluckily for Kirvic, he is the man that has just staggered to his feet and he is quickly floored as Bull Majors strikes again. On the top cage, Snakebite had just bought himself a few seconds with a well-timed DDT, responding to KO Kid’s earlier Spinebuster that shook the cage itself. Snakebite is quick to capitalise on the situation and nails KO Kid with a Lariat Clothesine, before DDT-ing him onto the 2nd Cage floor. Down below, Tim”The Giant” is tapping furiously as Bull Majors locks his patented “Gum Shoe” Submission on his already damaged right leg. Tim screams out in pain, but the tapping makes no difference in a Time-Limit Hardcore Match. Bull, contend he has caused enough damage plucks one of the table that have fallen from the top cage earlier on and begins to set in up in the centre of the ring. The crowd immediately start up a “Bull…Bull…Bull” chant as he pulls Kirvic towards him and nails him with a Big Boot, giving Kirvic no time to recover, he rolls him onto the table and follows behind him, setting him up for a Powerbomb…) HS – Bull is setting Kirvic up here for a big fall. Hang on, Snakebite
has KO Kid up as well (True enough, Snakebite has set the ladders up on the top cage and as Bull lifts Kirvic up for his Powerbomb, Snakebite sends KO Kid crashing through the hatch linking the two cages together with an awesome VENOM STRIKE, KO Kid landing on top of Bull and Kirvic and all three men going crashing through the set up table in the centre of the bottom cage…) HS – Ohhhhhhh Myyyyy Goddddd !! There’s bodies and splinters of table
everywhere (Snakebite, who managed to prevent himself from falling from the top cage looks down at the carnage below him as the clock continues to run down, he climbs down onto the bottom cage and with just a few minutes remaining on the clock, starts in the direction of the cage door. Vacamas is up, however and nails Snakebite with a Clothesline From Hell from behind. before launching him towards the nearest turnbuckle with a Irish Whip. Vacamas follows the Hardcore Champion and starts to scale the turnbuckle, coming flying off with a well-executed Superplex…) FJ – Go on Vacamas…you can do it !! (With just thirty seconds left on the clock, a weary Vacamas staggers to his feet and takes strides towards the door…20 seconds…15…10…Suddenly, from underneath a pile of debris and bodies, the figure of Bull Majors emerges…) FJ – What does it take to put that man away (Vacamas glances around in horror as Bull Majors comes to life, the timer clicks to 00:00 as the cage door starts to open, but Majors launches himself towards Vacamas in one last gap effort to stop Vacamas, he succeeds in slamming Vacamas head-first into the hard steel cage door as both men collapse on the floor, with the door to title glory wide open in front of them, they both struggle to their feet. Bull is the quickest to react, flipping Vacamas over and locking the Sharpshooter Submission in. Vacamas screams out in pain as Bull pulls back on the hold, Vacamas reaches out towards the door in a last-gap attempt to crawl out first, but as Bull cranks back on the hold once more, Vacamas slumps to the floor, virtually KO-ed. Bull staggers to his feet as Snakebite and Kirvic start to stir, Snakebite is the first to react as he launches towards the figure of Bull Majors, but Majors is too quick as he dives towards the open door… FJ – Noooooooooooo (…and out of the ring. Snakebite looks on in horror as the ref helps Bull to his feet, much to the crowd’s delight and crowns Bull Majors…the new AWA Hardcore Champion !! Frank:What a victory !! What a night !! (“Back In The Saddle” kicks in and the lights go dim, Hangman emerges from the back with his black cowboy hat on and a rope tied into a noose in his right hand, of course the half empty bottle of Jack Daniels in his left hand. The long trench coat he is wearing is dragging on the ring ramp behind him. He looks determined and ready to fight. He steps over the top rope and into the ring. He immediately turns toward the ramp way and stares at the curtain waiting for the champion to arrive.) Frank: Man, no matter how many times I see Hangman enter the arena, I still
get goose bumps. He is a behemoth of a man. It doesn’t hurt that he is
one of toughest men I have ever seen in that ring. (The lights again dim and the crowd falls silent for a few seconds as they await the arrival of Steven Caldera. “Laguna Breeze” starts in and the crowd is ferocious in their support of him. He has the belt wrapped around his waist. The lights shine off of the belt with great luster. His eyes are locked in on Hangman’s. He climbs in the ring never breaking eye contact with the challenger nor does he even blink. He waits a moment to let the crowd finish with their approval, when it dies down to a dull roar he takes the belt off and hands it to the referee. The ref holds the belt up in the air and shows it to all four sides of the arena. The bell rings and the ref signals for the cage to drop. Hangman takes off his trench coat and puts the bottle of JD and the noose down in the corner. The hat is the last thing to come off as he looks up to the see the cage dropping. He smiles wickedly and rubs his hands together. Caldera looking just as determined and focused also looks to the rafters to see the cage dropping.) Herb: Oh man, here we go!!! I’m so excited, I’ve already seen so
much brutality earlier with the hardcore match that I am not sure I can take
much more, and I do have a heart condition you know? (The cage drops all the way and a dull thud is heard the ref steps out of the cage and out to the ringside area, then rings the bell to get the match started proper. The crowd lets out a roar and Hangman immediately rushes the champion with a clothesline. Caldera stunned at the sudden quickness of Hangman, gets hit flush with the clothesline. Hangman lays the big boots onto Caldera’s back and legs. Caldera fights his way up and reverses an irish whip into the ropes. Hangman bounces off and Caldera backdrops the big man. Hangman hops up quickly but is sent right back down with a running knee lift to the face. Caldera is quickly on the offensive, trying to keep Hangman grounded with a Thai legdrop to the groin and spreads Hangman’s leg open and hits him solidly in the nether region with a right hand. Hangman holds his private area as Caldera runs off the ropes and drops a knee across his chest. The crowd is roaring its excitement and Caldera picks Hangman up and drops him to the mat with a full nelson slam, knowing that won’t be enough he immediately picks up the dazed Hangman and tosses him face first into the cage. He rubs the face of Hangman against the grating of the cage. Hangman howls in pain and Caldera is firmly in control.) Frank: Wow, Caldera is wasting no time dishing out the punishment is he? (Caldera finishes with this round of face-grating as Hangman staggers backward holding his forehead, right into an awaiting Caldera who executes a picture belly to back suplex. Hangman’s head hits the mat with an audible smack. The crowd reacts with its usual oohs and aahs. Hangman lies on the mat in a heap, Caldera climbs to the second rope and drives an elbow into the neck of Hangman. Hangman grabs his throat gasping for air. Caldera grabs the arm Hangman is using to grab his throat and puts him in a very painful looking cross arm breaker.) Frank: What intelligence on the part of Caldera, he is using Hangman’s
arm and destroying so he can’t execute the power moves he will no doubt
try later. (Back to the action in the ring, Hangman is still locked in the cross arm breaker but is trying to power out of it, Caldera grips it tighter and Hangman gets a rake to the eyes with the opposite arm. Caldera breaks the hold and Hangman rolls on the mat trying to get his wind and senses back. Caldera is wiping his eyes temporarily blinded. This lapse in punishment is just enough time for Hangman to make the ropes. Caldera runs at Hangman for a clothesline but Hangman backdrops him into the side of the cage!!! Caldera drops between the ring ropes and the cage upside down!! His feet are tangled and Hangman seizes the opportunity, he backs up, takes a running start and plows his right knee into the face of the exposed Caldera. The impact of the knee strike jars Caldera’s legs loose and he drops to the mat like a ton of bricks. The knee strike was so vicious that Caldera has blood flowing freely from his mouth.) Herb: OH MY GOD!!! I’ve never seen someone get caught between the ropes
and the cage before, just dangling there like that! Totally wide open for any
shot you want to give him. (Caldera is lying on the mat and Hangman is moving a little slower due to the amount of punishment delivered earlier. He rotates his arm in a circle trying to loosen it up. It is still tight from the cross-arm breaker. He picks Caldera up and uses a vertical suplex to bring him back in. Hangman completes the move and hops to his feet, seemingly re-energized in the match. Hangman circles around Caldera waiting like a vulture to strike. As soon as Caldera gets to his knees Hangman delivers a boot directly to Caldera jaw that knocks him right back down. A legdrop soon follows, then a choke. He breaks the chokehold, lifts Caldera up with a 2 handed choke and turns it into a sit-out powerbomb. Caldera is now the dazed and confused one. Hangman again stalks Caldera, kicking him on various points of the body. He picks Caldera up and whips him hard into the turnbuckle. Caldera hits the turnbuckle so hard it echoes through the arena. Caldera is barely on his feet using his arms draped over the top rope to keep him from falling down completely. Hangman takes another running start and clotheslines Caldera so viciously that Caldera’s head snaps back far enough to hit the back steel post that holds up the ring ropes. Caldera falls face first to the mat, blood flows freely from the back of his head now as well. Caldera is a bloody mess and Hangman is smiling broadly. He picks Caldera up, trunks in one hand, fistful of hair in the other hand and tosses him high into the cage face first. The cage shakes ominously as Caldera bounces off it. He hits the mat hard and Hangman delivers more punches to the face of Caldera. Hangman is now climbing the cage trying to get out. Caldera is barely moving and Hangman stops for a moment and turns to see Caldera moving a tad bit. He is on the top turnbuckle and decides to execute one more move for good measure, to ensure there is no movement coming from Caldera. The crowd is growing to a low roar, wondering if Hangman will leap from the top onto Caldera. Hangman signals that he is and leaps high in the air and drops a leg on the neck of Caldera. Caldera kicks his legs up in the air wildly, clutching his throat. Hangman stands over him smiling at the blood flowing from the back of Caldera’s head and the blood flowing from his mouth. Hangman is calmly making his way to the cage door. The ref outside opens the door and Hangman turns and takes one last look at Caldera before exiting the ring. As he reaches the door, Caldera makes a final gasp and grabs Hangman’s leg. Hangman is trying to fight through it and release it but Caldera is hanging on like a pit bull. Hangman shakes his head in disbelief and shrugs his shoulders.) Herb: Look at the confidence of Hangman right now. He shook his head as if
to say, okay I’ll give you some more if you want it. (Hangman delivers a few more kicks and punches to the champion and signals for his finisher, the Southern Comfort Slam, he whips Caldera into the ropes and Caldera falls to the ground, unable to stand, much less run off the ropes. Hangman laughs and puts the claw on Caldera, the first part of the Southern Comfort Slam, as he goes to picks him up Caldera uses all his strength to fight out of it and break the hold, landing behind Hangman and hitting a falling neck breaker. Caldera is lying on the mat while Hangman is rolling around grabbing the back of his head. Hangman makes it to his feet before Caldera and goes for a kick to the gut, Caldera catches the foot and dragon screw leg whips Hangman down to the mat. Hangman clutches his knee ad Caldera takes a rest up against the ropes. He watches Hangman struggle to his feet, Hangman notices Caldera still trying to recover runs at Caldera who ducks his head and lifts Hangman up and drops him with a stunning spinebuster. Caldera falls down on top of him and is laying into him with punches to the face. Hangman is covering up and Caldera hops to his feet motioning for Hangman to come get some. The crowd is electric, Caldera is getting his second wind. Dried blood is caked in his hair and blood still dribbles from his mouth. Hangman stands up trying to maintain his balance, he circles Caldera and they lock up once again. Caldera drops underneath and gets an arm drag, then another. Hangman backs up and rethinks his attack strategy. Caldera, now filled with the confidence locks back up with Hangman, they grapple all the way to the corner where Caldera unloads with a knife-edge chop, Hangman fires back with one of his own, then Caldera, then Hangman, then Caldera, then Hangman. The crowd is reacting with tons of emotion with every chop. This continues on until Caldera finally backs him in the corner and fires a back elbow to the jaw of Hangman. Hangman holds his jaw and Caldera hits a DDT. Caldera goes behind him and climbs the second rope again and drives a knee into the back of Hangman. Hangman howls in pain clutching his back. Caldera straddles Hangman and puts him a camel clutch, cranking back hard as Hangman fights to break the hold.) Herb: Wow, what a stunning turn of events! The champion is now in firm control
and Hangman is hanging on. Pardon the pun. (Hangman eventually makes it to his feet with Caldera still holding on, now Caldera is on Hangman piggy-back style and Hangman falls straight back and crushes Caldera underneath him. Caldera’s arms fall limp and Hangman is throwing back elbows that are connecting to the side of Caldera’s head. He climbs up off of Caldera and he now has the advantage. Hangman picks up the limp body of Caldera and sets him up for the Tombstone piledriver. He hits the piledriver and the crowd’s electricity is cut short as Caldera lays limp on the mat. Hangman signals that it is the end and begins to climb the cage to the outside. He makes it the top rope and looks back to Caldera laughing. As he turns to climb to the top of the cage, Caldera begins to stir. He pulls himself up using the ropes, nut is unable to keep his feet and lands hard against the ropes and hits the cage hard on the way down, the cage shakes and Hangman loses his grip, he comes crashing down to the mat from at least 15 feet. He lands on his right side, mainly on his hipbone. He rolls around in obvious pain and Caldera lies a few feet in pain, in distress, in trouble. The crowd is once again on its feet in amazement at how Caldera keeps barely hanging in there. Hangman gets up but is limping and favoring his right side. He picks Caldera up; Caldera drops low and hits a low blow on Hangman. Caldera is in such a weakened state he falls right back down with Hangman clutching his privates following him to the mat shortly thereafter. Caldera rolls to the ring ropes and SLOWLY pulls himself up, Hangman is also to his feet but is not taking the offensive, he is still walking off the low blow. Caldera is up and turns to face Hangman. They lock eyes and go right after each other. They are trading punches, Caldera finally ducking a wild haymaker and throwing Hangman into the cage again. This time he keeps his grip and pounds Hangman’s head into the cage 5 more times. He releases his grip and Hangman is out on his feet. Not for long as Caldera positions himself in front of him and hits a belly-to-belly suplex. You could see the extra effort Caldera had to use to get him up as he let out an audible moan in order to do it correctly. Hangman is on the mat, Caldera is up and ready for a fight! The crowd is rabid. They are cheering no one in particular, just cheering at the pure brutality and heart displayed in this match.) Herb: Where is Caldera getting all this from? He has taken a severe beating
tonight. (Caldera locks in an STF submission and Hangman is screaming in pain. He reaches for the ropes and is barely out of their reach. Caldera doesn’t have it on as well as he’d like, but he cranks back on it with all his might anyway. Hangman is reaching, reaching, reaching and gets a finger on the ropes, then his whole hand wraps around it. Caldera breaks the hold, knowing the weight distribution he needs to execute properly has been taken away since Hangman can grab a rope. Hangman crawls on the ground trying to get a moment to reach his feet, but Caldera drops an elbow to a crawling Hangman and Hangman falls back down to the mat. He tries to get up again and Caldera drops another elbow. He picks Hangman up and tosses him into the cage wall again. Scraping the masked man’s forehead with the cage. Hangman’s mask is becoming soaked with blood underneath it and Caldera is gaining back his momentum. Hangman is desperately trying to get an advantage but Caldera refuses to relent. He executes a double under-hook suplex and drops a leg across the throat immediately following the move. Then Hangman is picked up by his bloody mask. Caldera puts him over his shoulder as if going to execute a powerslam but he runs and tosses Hangman into the cage again, throwing him off his shoulder and into the cage. Hangman bounces off the cage and onto the mat. Caldera now is going to try and make it out of the ring, he climbs to the top rope, but instead of proceeding to the top of the cage, he turns and flies across the ring and nails Hangman with an elbow drop. Hangman lies motionless as does Caldera for a moment. Caldera now sits up and then gets to his feet, he walks slowly to the cage door. The ref outside the ring opens it and Caldera is halfway there before Hangman even moves. With that said Hangman is now crawling on his hands and knees trying to catch Caldera, Caldera is got one leg through the middle rope and as he gets the second one out Hangman grabs his trunks and pulls him back in with all his might. Caldera is pulling on the rope trying to get out and Hangman in pulling on his trunks trying to keep him in. With a loud yell Hangman pulls Caldera back into the ring and into this awaiting arms and directly into a bearhug. Caldera has a distant look in his eyes as if saying, “here we go again” and Hangman is catching his breath and getting his senses back while keeping Caldera in the bearhug. After 30 seconds of squeezing, Hangman picks Caldera up and executes his own belly-to-belly suplex. He holds on though and picks Caldera back up and breaks the hold. He lets the weakened Caldera stand there. Hangman backs away.) Herb: What is Hangman doing!! Finish him! (While both the announcers and the crowd are confused, Hangman measures Caldera up and kicks him right in the left knee! Caldera clutches his knee and screams bloody murder. The crowd boos at the cheap shot. And Hangman is laying into the knee with kicks, punches and elbowdrops. He pulls and twists at the leg as Caldera grimaces with every move. Hangman picks him up, Caldera stands one his one good leg and Hangman kicks the right knee with even more force than the left knee. Caldera again drops to the mat in pain. Hangman pulls him to the corner and drapes the leg over the bottom rope. He jumps and lands on the leg with his backside. Then takes the other leg and does the same. Then Hangman turns him so Caldera’s legs are facing away from the ropes and he locks in the figure four leglock!) Herb: Brilliant! He is taking away Caldera’s legs so he can’t chase
him down when he leaves the cage. (Hangman has it locked in tight and Caldera in the beginning was yelling and fighting it but now he lays there shoulders flat to the mat, probably passed out from the pain. Hangman is laughing and clinching it in tighter. Caldera sits up as the hold gets tighter wincing in pain and Hangman sits up to deliver two shots to Caldera’s face. Caldera lays flat and then he sits back up in pain as the hold is cinched in tighter as Hangman goes to punch him again Caldera smacks Hangman in the head with the Jack Daniels bottle that was still under the ropes!!! The whiskey flies everywhere as does the glass that broke over Hangman’s head. The hold is released and Hangman lays motionless, knocked out cold. Caldera gets up and tries to walk out of the ring, the cage door is all the way on the other side and Caldera drops like a ton of bricks, unable to put any weight on either leg. He falls to the mat but starts to inch his way to the door by crawling there. The crowd is urging him on, he gets halfway there and Hangman has yet to move. The ref goes to open the door and Caldera who was crawling there, he was just using his arms and crawling on his knees is too painful. He gets two thirds of the way there and Hangman sits up, rubbing his head and immediately grabs the noose that was next to the bottle of JD. He crawls across the ring as well, he most likely has a concussion. Since he actually using his hands and knees, he makes up the distance to Caldera fairly quickly, Caldera looks over his shoulder and tries to crawl faster, with no success, Hangman drapes the noose around the neck of Caldera and uses one hand to pull Caldera back and the other hand to help him regain his equilibrium as he holds on to the rope. The crowd is silent, not believing what they are seeing. Hangman is going to hang Caldera. Caldera is trying to get his fingers on the inside of the rope to keep the noose from tightening as Hangman struggles to get his balance back. Caldera grabs the ring ropes trying to stay where he is at, Hangman puts two hands on the noose and pulls as hard as he can, Caldera’s grip slips from the ropes and Caldera flies a good four feet in the air towards Hangman. Hangman is dragging Caldera around the ring connected to the noose. Hangman is dragging him slowly as he is still woozy from the bottle shot. Caldera is still kicking and fighting to break free of the noose, everytime he tries Hangman kicks him in the gut or in one of his knees. Hangman begins climbing to the top rope as Caldera is still on the mat getting the life choked out of him. Hangman climbs to the top rope and is pulling and tugging at the noose, getting leverage because he is up so high. Caldera is still struggling. Foam is coming his mouth and his lips are turning blue. The ref is yelling for Hangman to stop. Some fans choose to cover their eyes or their children’s eyes. Hangman is now wrapping the length of the rope around his wrist, making the rope shorter and the grip tighter. Caldera is being drawn closer and closer to him because of the shortening of the rope. Caldera’s eyes are glazing over.) Herb: Someone please…please, just stop this. (Hangman pulls Caldera all the way to him, pulling him up by sheer, brute force. Caldera looks to be totally knocked out. Hangman now lets the rest of the rope fall and Caldera falls limp to the mat. The rope finally has some give. The crowd breathes a sigh of relief as Caldera can breathe again. But Hangman starts climbing the cage and gets to the top of it. He sits on the corner of the cage and begins again wrapping the rope around his arm, taking the give away from the rope again. Caldera is again kicking and fighting with all his might. Caldera’s feet get lifted off the mat and he begins the long, slow, torturous journey to the top of cage, courtesy of Hangman’s noose. Caldera again puts his fingers between the rope and his throat, trying to lessen the choke. Caldera tries to warp his feet around the top ropes but Hangman’s grip is to strong and Caldera is getting pulled further and further to the top. He gets to the top, his mouth mixed with foam and blood, his lips blue and his eyes sunken in from lack of oxygen. Caldera is now at the top and Hangman positions Caldera’s body to be hanging with one side on the outside of the ring and one side on the inside of the ring. The noose is still on his neck.) Herb: No!!!!! He’s going to f***ing hang him over the cage! No!!! Pardon
my language but this is totally unnecessary. (Frank Jackson gets up and takes his headset off and heads to the backstage area. As Hangman goes to put the finishing touches on Caldera, Caldera blocks the attempt with his final ounce of strength and gets a thumb to Hangman’s eye. Hangman grabs his eye and the rope unwraps from around his arm and Caldera immediately pushes Hangman off the top!!!! Hangman hits the top rope on the way down, bounces back up and hits his face on the cage and then drops to the mat, his feet are tangles up in the bottom rope. He lies there motionless. The impact of the fall knocked him out cold.) Herb: Jesus Christ!!! I can’t believe this! Caldera did it! He knocked Hangman out cold! I can’t believe this; that went from one of the worst things I’ve ever seen in my life, to one of the best things I’ve ever seen! I can’t take this! (Caldera is up on the top and still very, very weak. He gets the rope off from around his neck and looks down to see Hangman knocked out cold. He looks out to the ground floor and then back to Hangman, then back to the ground floor. He is catching his breath and clutching his knees as tight as he can. He looks down to the ground one last time, looks to the crowd and scoots his body to the corner of the cage, 10 feet above where the top turnbuckle is. He pulls himself up and is wobbling on his two blown out knees and drops a huge elbow to the face of Hangman!!! Caldera’s elbow hits Hangman but he isn’t moving at all. Both of them are lying there with there feet tangled in the ropes, bleeding all over the place. Caldera’s elbow is still touching the face of Hangman as he lies beside him. Hangman’s mask has soaked the ring with blood. Up top the noose dangles over the cage, on the other side of the ring broken glass is scattered about, with Jack Daniels spilled everywhere. Directly to the side of them is the cage door, wide open, the ref watching waiting for either of them to regain consciousness long enough to literally fall out of it. They are that close to the door. The crowd is shouting as loud as they every have. Both wrestlers unconsciousness and unable to hear them anyway. After about 30 seconds of chanting and waiting, EMT’s rush from the back to assess both men. As they circle the ring collecting their gear and waiting for extra manpower. Hangman wakes up and sees them about to enter the ring. He gets up and blocks the door. He is wobbly but still threatening the EMT’s with much harm if they even attempt to get in the ring. The referee calls for the bell deeming Caldera unfit to continue. He is still knocked out, his elbow is dislocated and his knees are blown out. Hangman continues to threaten the EMT’s. He goes outside the ring and gets a steel chair. He rolls back into the ring and begins to beat on the knees of Caldera, hitting them over and over again. Caldera is finally awake and can only lie there as Hangman does more damage. He picks the limp body of Caldera and finally does complete the Southern Comfort Slam he tried way earlier in the match. He picks him back up and sets him up for a standing vertical suplex and holds him up for at least a good 10 seconds. He falls back, leaving only enough for him as Caldera’s back bounces off the cage and he falls head first to the mat caught between the ropes and the cage. Caldera is motionless and Hangman is kicking him repeatedly in the stomach and the chest. He sees the disfigurement of Caldera’s elbow and immediately grabs it, he puts on a simple elbow lock and Caldera howls in pain. Hangman pulls back harder and harder!) Herb: Come on, get in there and pull him out, Caldera suffered enough of a beating, the poor man has a family damn it! (The crowd is in utter disbelief as AWA security, at least 20 strong surround the ring. Hangman eyes all of them, none of them enter. Then President Gray comes out from the backstage area with mic in hand.) HS – What’s he doing out here again ? GRAY – HANGMAN…It looks like you got your way. That’s right, You’re in the Hell Bowl, but as to the fact of whether you are the World Champion ?? (Gray pauses as the crowd jeers) GRAY – Well the answer to that is NO…Not a chance…Caldera got eliminated from this match, therefore the World Title is vacated until after the Hell Bowl HS – WHAT ? Hangman had the match finished !! (Gray drops the mic and disappears backstage as the crowd’s jeering intensifies. Hangman looks in the direction of the rampway, before looking at the AWA Security that surround the ring and as “Back In The Saddle” starts to play. Hangman looks down at the shattered frame of Steven Caldera, before hoisting him off the mat with one quick motion and slamming him down with a devastating Southern Comfort Slam. He sneers at the former World Champion as he lies unconscious before him before kicking open the half open door and leaving the cage as his music continues to play) HS – Hangman does not look a happy man !! (The scene cuts to the AWA-tron as it plays a preview for AWA Hell On Earth’s Main Event as in the centre of the arena, the cage is raised and the debris is cleared from the ring, Caldera is helped onto a stretcher and pushed out of the arena as the preview ends and the shot cuts back to Frank and Herb) HS: Here it is! The match we have been waiting for all this evening! Audioslave’s "Civilian" blare over the sound system as Vapor Adams makes his way down the ramp to a mildly cheering crowd. He slaps a few hands on his way to the ring. HS: The big Hawaiian has a great opportunity for this title shot. We will see
what shape he is in after a significant down time. Adams inside the ring is pumping himself and the crowd up, but his music abruptly ends and “Parabola” by Tool replaces it Ray Owens runs down the ramp. The fans boo him loudly. He slides into the ring as Adams waits in the ring ready to strike. Owens goes straight at him as the referee calls for the start of the match. Adams swings at Owens who ducks under and hits the ropes coming off with a dropkick to the knee taking the big man’s legs out from under him. Adams falls to the mat as Owens assaults him with multiple kicks to the head. FJ: That’s right, Ray! Show him that he isn’t in your league. Adams is able to climb to his feet under the stiff kicks. Adams reaches out to catch Owens by the throat, but he manages to catch the arm and turn it into a cross arm breaker. Adams recoils back in pain and Owens launches into a series of knife edge chops. The big man lashes out with a clubbing forearm that forces Owens back. Owens comes forward only to be met with another forearm shot. FJ: Adams is in their fighting for his career and despite what he says, there is a lot of the Hitman still left inside of Ray Owens. Owens delivers a right hand of his own only to have Adams grab him and pull him into a bear hug. The referee looks closely as Adams applies the pressure. Owens struggles under the hold and breaks free due to Adams previously weakened arm. Owens quickly ducks in and executes a dragonscrew leg whip sending the big man to the mat. Owens once again goes for the cross armbreaker. “Sadness” by Enigma (Industrial remix) plays and Quade DeSade comes running down the ramp. The fans boo him loudly as he slides into the ring. After hearing the start of the music, Owens released the hold on Adams to face the new threat. DeSade bi-passes Owens and attacks Adams as he struggles to get to his feet. DeSade unleashes a series of right hands driving Adams to the ropes and Owens joins the attack pummelling the big man as he slumps against the ropes. Adams sinks under the barrage and falls across the ropes. Owens backs away from the action, looking to the fans and making known his disgust at the level of competition in the ring. In the meantime, DeSade begins to use the ropes to choke Adams who is lying across them. The crowd erupts in boos not knowing who to boo the most Owens or DeSade. FJ: Look at Owens in there! He looks bored. Owens and DeSade continue to work together to pull the big man up from the mat. They set Adams up and Owens delivers a massive cradle driver to the big man. DeSade not to be left out begins to drop a series of knee drops onto Adams. “If I Ruled the World” by Nas is heard and C-Rock charges toward the ring. The fans have a mixed reaction as he enters the ring. C-Rock goes after Owens and the men begin to exchange heavy blows. FJ: I’ve seen this one coming, there is no love loss between these two
men! C-Rock blocks a punch and thumbs the eye of Owens. A low blow doubles Owens over and C-Rock connects with a DDT. On the other side of the ring, DeSade goes to whip the big man into the turnbuckle but Adams manages to reverse it. He connects with the big boot and DeSade is dazed. A body block sends DeSade backwards into the turnbuckles. Adams pulls DeSade up and attempts to Gorilla Press him but his body will not co-operate. DeSade slips down behind him and runs him into the turnbuckle before delivering a series of forearm blows to the lower back. Owens is up and C-Rock attempts a suplex only to have it blocked. Owens reverses it and delivers a cradle driver to C-Rock!! A Russian Legsweep from Owens takes C-Rock back to the mat. Owens applies the Boston Crab to C-Rock when "Pour Some Sugar On Me" by Def Leppard plays and out comes Dave Santini!! FJ: Business has just picked up! Santini slides into the ring and Owens releases the hold on C-Rock to face him. The two men launch into each other. On the other side of the ring, DeSade struggles trying to get the big man over the top rope. C-Rock now on his feet and feeling the effects of the Boston Crab goes over to assist in the attempt to eliminate Adams. Both men pound away at Adams, but he continues to fend them off. He shoves DeSade backwards and elbows C-Rock in the jaw before the two men pounce on him again. This time they team to double whip Adams across the ring into the ropes and DeSade catches him coming off with a Spear while C-Rock climbs the top turnbuckle. He leaps off after DeSade has cleared out of the way and connects with the elbow smash from the top rope. DeSade drops an elbow himself for good measure. C-Rock and DeSade pull the battered Adams up from the mat and muscle him over the top rope! FJ: Adams is the first to go! Ha, Ha, Ha! DeSade turns and catches C-Rock with a stiff clothesline that takes the unexpected C-Rock off of his feet. Owens lands a knee to the midsection and follows through with a butterfly suplex. Owens pulling Santini up is caught with a jawbreaker that has him clutch his jaw in pain. A belly to belly suplex on Owens and “Macho Man” by the Village People is heard. The fans erupt as the rotund clowned prince rumbles down to the ring. DeSade is laying in the blows on C-Rock as he is fighting to get to his feet. Happy immediately begins to assault C-Rock with DeSade! The big clown and DeSade pull C-Rock up trying to force him over the rope. Santini strangely intervenes with a spear from behind on Happy. Santini begins to fire kicks into the big clown before he is attacked by Owens. A German release suplex sends Santini overhead crashing in the centre of the ring. C-Rock attacks Owens from behind with a low blow followed by a face jam onto the mat. Santini is slow to get up. DeSade takes the opportunity to attack Jack Happy with some straight right handed punches. C-Rock is stomping away at Owens and soon has Santini joining in the attack by kicking Owens himself. HS: I smell a rat! Why are these two guys helping one another out? Happy has begun to respond with rights of his own but DeSade takes a short cut and rakes the eyes. He hip tosses Happy to the mat. He goes to drop the elbow but Happy rolls out of the way. Happy and DeSade are back up. Happy, blinking his eyes trying to focus on his attacker as DeSade smiles and moves in for the kill. He launches a kick but Happy catches his boot and pulls him in for a viscous clothesline. DeSade almost does a 360 before hitting the mat. DeSade tries to get to his feet but is caught with a big right before being pulled up into a running powerslam. FJ: Ouch! Did you see all of Happy’s celluloid shift with the impact? Yuck! In the ring, Owens sends C-Rock across the ring with a Dragonscrew legwhip. Santini with a kick to the midsection and a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker puts Owens back down on the mat. Santini plays to the crowd before whipping Owens into the corner turnbuckle. He charges in for the splash but Owens rolls to the side and helps shove Santini into the turnbuckle. Santini’s head connects with the turnbuckle and Owens spins him around in the corner before landing a series of knife edge chops. C-Rock comes charging in with a kick only to have Owens move out of the way and the kick lands in Santini’s midsection. Owens with a German release suplex on C-Rock, before returning to Santini who explodes out of the corner with a desperate spear and both men are down. Desade is on the mat with the wind out of his sails. He attempts to get to his feet and Happy goes ‘Slaphappy’ sending him back to the mat to the delight of the fans. C-Rock, slowly returning to his feet is met with a Clown Kick from Happy that sends him back down. HS: C-Rock is getting treated like a pinball in there! “Back in the Saddle” by Aerosmith is heard and Hangman comes stalking down the ramp. The fans explode after having witnessed the performance in the previous main event match. FJ: Here he comes! The Manbeast, Hangman, may have put an end to Caldera’s career in the first half of our main event. Happy pulls up the dazed C-Rock, as DeSade joins in by laying some right hands on C-Rock. Hangman enters the ring and Happy breaks off his attack on C-Rock ready to receive the brunt of the wrathful Hangman. Hangman suddenly turns on Owens as he gets to his feet. Hangman wraps a big hand around Owens’ neck and begins to choke the smaller man. Santini goes on the offence attacking DeSade as he attempted to eliminate C-Rock. Santini clubs DeSade with an axe handle blow and spins him around to receive a brain buster DDT. Santini looms over DeSade and gestures for him to get up before kicking him back down to the mat. Happy has since returned his attention to C-Rock and rocks him with a right hand before executing a piledriver. FJ: Hangman is taking it to Owens’? I thought that he would be all over
Jack Happy! Oh, look at Santini taunting DeSade in there. In the ring, Happy pulls C-Rock up and whips him toward the corner. C-Rock lands hard and Happy connects with the Avalanche causing C-Rock to slump in the corner. Santini pulls DeSade up from the mat and delivers a powerbomb to him. Santini lays the boots to him again. FJ: Look at Santini bullying DeSade. Santini goes to pull him up again and is caught with a low blow. DeSade follows up with a thrust to the throat before climbing to his feet. A tombstone piledriver on Santini seems to take all DeSade had left and both men lay on the mat after the move.
