: Last Week ... on Explosion
{Fade to John Robertson, in the ring with D. A. Bookthrower.}
[Heather Rasputin]
Both men circle as this crowd is getting ROWDY!! Apparently their
hatred for both men is still incredibly strong ... collar/elbow
tieup ... John Robertson with a drop-toehold ... into an inverse
toehold ...
[Stone]
And, somehow, it occurs to me to say that, if this match runs
over time, we'll replay it in it's entirety next week ...
[Rasputin]
Robertson has it on solidly... I just got a memo from a page...
it seems that Tiger Z has more than turned up... she'll be
getting a rematch with Fallen Angel for the Women's Title!!! More
on that later, as Bookthrower escapes and makes it to his feet
... but Robertson drops him with a forearm ... John Robertson
seems to have gained a tremendous amount of muscle in the past
months ...
[Johnston]
A product of a superior training program by Dr. Lupo...
[Stone]
Yeah, sure, it was training ... {In a British accent} Nudge-Nudge
Wink-Wink, SayNoMore, SayNoMore!!!
[Rasputin]
Robertson whips him in... and downs the bigger Bookthrower with a
dropkick!!! He picks Bookthrower to his feet ... Bookthrower with
a chokeslam on the lightheavyweight!!! Robertson rolls out of the
ring ... and ... heads for the back?!?
[Stone]
No, no, John ... I said we'd REPLAY the match next week, not
REWRESTLE the match next week!!!
[Rasputin]
Bookthrower standing confused as Senior Referee Curtis Keyes
starts counting Robertson out ... Robertson's passing our
floating camera ...
[Robertson]
OK I sign a match to wrestle Miranda Wright's protege and what
happens? Not only am I wrestling the wrong guy, but it seems my
respect was misplaced as he can't wrestle cleanly ...
{Fade out on D. A. Bookthrower upset as Robertson is counted out.}
=================================================================
{Fade into a close-up on a wrestling ring in an empty arena. In
the ring is what looks like some sort of bomb; the camera slowly
fades into the bomb, and we see a timer counting down, intercut
with wrestling footage.}
10: "Devastating" Dan Lea with the "Devastator" on "War
Machine" Greg Gardner
09: Jack Fury with the "Jack Hammer" on "The Olympian"
Gary White
08: Jimmy Springheel with a European uppercut on Steve the
Insane
07: Melissa Wright with the Bankbreaker on Dacia Blackthorne
06: Perfection with the New Perfect Finisher on The Warbirds
05: Carlos Mendoza with the "Heart to Heart Suplex" on
Destruction
04: The Fallen Angel with a double flying body press on Dream
Succubus
03: "Bulldog" Bryan Bachman with his hands raised in victory
and the LHW Title draped over one shoulder
02: Ken Mischief destroying Big Mike Farrell with "Big
Trouble"
01: A sublimely contemptuous John Robertson clutching his
World Title ...
The bomb hits 00, and explodes, the shrapnel forming into the
logo:

{Fade into Madison Square Garden in New York City, and a
jam-packed crowd of wrestling fans. As the camera pans through
the crowd, we see signs like "Piersall'll take a SUPER
pounding!!!", "Ribbon Wrap the Ringmaster!!" and "Clip the Crow's
Wings!!!" ... and finally, we hit the broadcast table ringside,
where Heather Rasputin, Paul Stone, and "The Mastermind" Alliyah
Johnston are standing.}
[Rasputin]
HELLLLLOOOOO New York ... and welcome to AWI Explosion!!! I'm
your host, Heather Rasputin, and with me as always is the "The
Mastermind" Alliyah Johnston and the incomparable Paul Stone ...
[Stone]
Hey, am I supposed to take "incomparable" as an insult or a
compliment?
[Johnston]
Quite a few things appear in my head when I consider what I can
compare you to, but most of them would endanger our current
"TVPG" rating ...
[Rasputin]
Speaking of comparing ... there's quite a few things I'd like to
compare both our new World Champion, John Robertson, and the
person he "defended", and I use the term loosely, against, D. A.
Bookthrower to, but I don't think they'd rate the "TVPG" either!
[Johnston]
I don't understand why you continually down Mr. Robertson ... he
walked away from a match with one of the most feared competitors
in AWI history with a win ...
[Stone]
Yeah, but how long can he keep walking out of matches ... T. C.
Jurgens already dragged him back for trying it ... what happens
when he tries it against somebody like Dr. Hyde or Jack Fury --
somebody that /WILL/ put a beating on him for trying it?
[Rasputin]
And speaking of Jack Fury, he'll be defending his newly won North
American championship against the Crystal Crow today!!!
[Johnston]
Yes ... and against a Crystal Crow that is quickly becoming one
of the hottest stars in wrestling today! He has advanced quite
noticeably due to the tutelage of the Jade Tiger {stops Heather
before she can start} WHO IS, no matter what you think of him,
or his run-ins with Angela Dante, one of the best managers in
the sport!
[Rasputin]
Also on tonight's show, we'll see the current AWI North American
Tag Champs, as Perfection will be in action!!!
[Stone]
And my keen, ever-knowledgeable inside sources tell me that there
is a team that has finally signed on the dotted line for that
open contract for the title!!!
[Rasputin]
Yes ... the North American Tag Titles will be up for grabs ... at
SPRING STAMPEDE!!!! Chad Duncan will give you the up to the
minute run-down ... including the first TWENTY-ONE entries!!!
We'll also see someone else who's hot -- "Blue Ribbon" Dorothy
Gayle -- taking on a perennial contender in the Women's division,
"The Ringmaster" Dacia Blackthorne!!!
[Johnston]
I would think "The CameraHog" Dacia Blackthorne would be a far
more appropriate nom de wrestling. A small bit of advice, Ms.
Blackthorne ... those of us that are 5'8", 180 lbs. should consult
a certain Ms. Craig before requesting the amount of camera time
you seem to request!!!
[Rasputin]
And this, and much, much more!!! But first ... {sighs} we have
some words from Team Stevens on their matches tonight.
[Johnston]
Team Stevens?
[Stone]
Would you prefer the Evil Forces Of Robbie?
=================================================================
{Cut to a gym where Tori Johannsen is in the ring running the
ropes back and forth generally barking as Jessica Perkins stands
on the apron. Robbie Stevens is at ringside yelling instructions
to Tori who just seems to be ignoring him. Next to Robbie is
Toshiaki Hasegawa, resplendent as always in an Armani suit.}
[Robbie Stevens]
Come on Tori! Tag out! {Tori continues to run the ropes} Tag out
girl! Come on! Tori ... Tag! Tori ... Tori ... Tag! Tag!
{Tori continues to run the ropes, until Robbie holds up a bag of
Snausages, which causes Tori to stop running the ropes, walk
over, and tags out to Perkins. She goes to the apron and gets a
Snausage from Robbie.}
[Robbie]
Good girl! With team work like this, people will totally forget
about the team work of someone like Perfection and not the quick
tags of Jessica and Tori, Robbie's Angels! {Tori starts walking
up and down the apron} Tori! Stay! STAY! {Tori stops and Robbie
gives her another Snausage}. This training is a piece of cake. As
far as that old nag and the scrub are concerned, this weekend is
going to be the worst week of your lives. Tell 'em Jess!
[Jessica Perkins]
Mother, you always told me that if I worked hard enough I'd get
my rewards {points at Robbie and Tori} ... IS THIS YOUR IDEA OF A
JOKE MOTHER?!?!? You always did like Jennifer best, didn't you
Mother ... well, this match will hurt you more than it will hurt
me.
{Jessica picks up her Barbie doll and begins speaking softly to
it.}
[Robbie]
And now, we move onto the other victim of the week, the good
Reverend Jeremiah James. Well, Reverend, this week, you're going
to have the fear of God put into you. Because not only do you
have the man with the most feared foot in all of wrestling
sitting at ringside in Robbie Stevens but you've got to face the
fashion plate of AWI, Smilin' Joey Hasegawa.
["Smilin' Joey"]
Jeremiah, you are a man I have a great deal of respect for ...
the calling of the priesthood is something that I once felt
strong as well. We may very well have been allies ... but c'mon,
a man as stylish as myself wearing clothes like that?!? It'd
never happen. Reverend, with that TV belt comes the privilege of
appearing on AWI TV /EVERY WEEK/ ... amd who better to represent
the AWI every week than the faashion plate, Toshiaki Hasegawa.
{Joey begins to check his hair in the camera.}
[Robbie]
Now, I know they say James is on a mission ... but that's fine,
because so are we!
{Joey and Robbie put on a pair of dark glasses and pull out two
pieces of paper which read: "Certified Reverends for the
Universal Life Church" with Joey's and Robbie's names signed to
them.}
[Robbie]
You can't stop us ... because we're on a mission from God too!
{sotto voce} It's amazing what you can find on the Internet ...
=================================================================
COMMERCIALS
=================================================================
{Fade back to the ring, with Alan Kinsman, and "Quick Kid" Kenny
Cassidy.}
[Kinsman]
Hello, Madison Square Garden ... and welcome to AWI EXPLOSION!!!
{Crowd pop HARD for themselves ... these are New Yorkers!}
[Kinsman]
Our first attraction is for one fall, with a ten minute time
limit. Our first competitor ... already in the ring ... "QUICK
KID" KENNY CASSIDY!!! His opponent ...
{"John Carpenter's Halloween Theme" by the AWI Orchestra keys up,
and a big, really muscled guy wearing a black wrestling singlet
comes out ... he is accompanied by a much smaller female, also
wearing a red nurse's outfit.}
[Kinsman]
Wrestling in his debut appearance in Allied Wrestling
International ... he stands 6'8" ... weighs 340 lbs. ...
accompanied to the ring by his manager, "NURSE" HEIDI UPPENMANN
... he is ... OTTO "THE BUTCHER" VERHOEVEN!!!!
{Upon hearing his name, Verhoeven raises his hands up ... the
crowd, responding to anyone calling himself "Butcher",
instinctively begins to boo.}
[Rasputin]
We're getting our first look at "The Butcher" Verhoeven ... and I
must say he is quite the physical specimen.
[Johnston]
Indeed. He obviously has quite a bit of power ... but one must
see now if he possesses the wrestling acumen that sets the best
apart from other "big men" of this sport.
[Rasputin]
Kenny Cassidy quite intelligently trying to stay away from this
monster ... Verhoeven lunges ... Cassidy ducks!!! The Butcher
closes in again ... Cassidy out of the way ... and Kenny Cassidy
with a series of punches ...
[Stone]
Who needs skill when you have survival instinct?
[Rasputin]
Verhoeven clotheslines Cassidy down ... now he lays the boots to
him ... c'mon referee Marty Wood, get in there ... picks up
Cassidy ... solid bodyslam ... AND HE STARTS CHOKING HIM! C'mon,
this is unnecessary!!!
[Johnston]
It would appear that skill is quite useful after all.
[Rasputin]
Marty Wood finally getting Verhoeven off ... you could have
counted to twenty in that time ... picks up Cassidy ... lifts him
in the air for a press slam ... 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 4 reps ... and
HARD to the mat!!! Picks up Cassidy again ... scoops the
youngster over his shoulder like a rag doll ... RUNNING
SHOULDERBREAKER!!!
[Stone]
Yup, folks -- Kenny's out of it. {checks his watch} But, he made
it a whole minute and a half this time! Maybe if he ran away a
little while longer ...
[Rasputin]
Cassidy may be out of it ... but Verhoeven's not through with him
yet!!! He drags the poor kid by the hair ... Sets him on the top
rope ...
[Johnston]
No, no, Heather ... one ceases to be a "poor kid" the second they
decide to place a foot inside the squared circle.
[Rasputin]
"THE MEATHOOK" CHOKESLAM OFF THE SECOND ROPE!!!
[Stone]
So, instead, Cassidy stopped being a "poor kid" and started being
a "victim", right?
[Rasputin]
He's a victim of the 1, 2, 3 ... as this one's OVER!!!
[AK]
The winner of the match ... OTTO "THE BUTCHER" VERHOEVEN!!!
[Rasputin]
"Nurse" Heidi Uppenmann seems quite excited for her man as he
heads toward the Interview spot ... let's take a look at some of
the highlights of that match.
{Shot of Cassidy ducking a punch...}
[Stone]
Okay, that's it for the Quick Kid's highlights...
{Shot of the DEVASTATING running shoulderbreaker ... another shot
of The MeatHook ... and a shot of Otto "The Butcher" Verhoeven's
hand being raised in victory ...}
=================================================================
{... as we fade to Chad Duncan in The Interview Spot. Beside him
stands a large man with a built similar to Sycho Sid. He has
black hair cut in a military fashion and wears a black wrestling
singlet and crimson, fingerless leather gloves. There is also a
gorgeous blonde woman in her mid-twenties who wears a red, very
tight nurse dress.}
[Duncan]
I am standing here with a newcomer to the AWI, Otto "the Butcher"
Verhoeven, and his valet and fiancee Nurse Heidi. Mister
Verhoeven, you ...
{Otto grabs Duncan by the jacket.}
[Otto Verhoeven]
{With slight German accent} What did you call me, you little,
spineless, American wimp? It's *Herr* Verhoeven, you got that?
HERR Verhoeven!
{Heidi whispers something in his ear an he lets Duncan go.}
[Duncan]
Uh, well, okay ... Herr Verhoeven. What are your goals in the
AWI?
[Verhoeven]
That is really simple. I am going to prove that German athletes
are the best in the world and you arrogant Americans, or British,
or whatever, you will have to face my superior abilities. I will
teach all you people a lesson, I will humiliate you schweine, err
... pigs, I will tear you apart!
[Nurse Uppenmann]
{With thicker accent} Note that ve are no nazees, ve are only
proud patriots.
[Verhoeven]
You see, the madman Hitler nearly destroyed our great and
honorable nation and we despise the Germans who still cling to
the Nazi movement's ideas.
[Duncan]
You remind me of two other competitors here in the AWI, the tag
team known as Pain Keep ...
[Verhoeven]
You are talking about those two Austrian guys, eh? I saw them
when I checked out this federation, and I have to admit they are
quite good -- for non-German athletes. I am sure that my fellow
Europeans are able to dominate the tag-ranks here.
[Uppenmann]
Nevertheless, they lack the raw strength and determination of the
German juggernaut right here!
[Duncan]
And what do you think of the other competition in this
federation?
[Verhoeven]
Most of them are snot-nosed losers. I can respect some wrestlers
here like Dan Lea or Gary White, but look at imbeciles like Bryan
Bachman, Carlos Mendoza ...
[Heidi]
Vat a jerk. He vould not stand a chanz against you, the German
juggernaut.
[Verhoeven]
Of course not, after all, I am a two-time All-German heavyweight
champion and a former IIWF World champion. That little Spanish
freak is the proof that a country like Mexico produces nothing of
any worth. Listen wrestlers of the AWI, the Butcher has arrived,
and no one will be able to stop me. Does anyone dare to become
the next victim? If so, then WELCOME TO THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE!
{Otto pushes Chad to the ground and they walk off.}
=================================================================
COMMERCIAL BREAK:
"Morning" from the Peer Gynt Suite plays softly, over animated
footage of a warm spring day in the woods ... the trees are
growing new leaves ... squirrels, rabbits, and deer frolic in
the distance ... a robin lands in the foreground, pecking at the
ground ... he grabs a worm, as another robin lands ... the two
begin tussling over the worm, and the music suddenly changes to
a screeching electric guitar as the bigger one wraps a wing
around the other robin's head and suplexes him, then covers him
as a chipmunk hops over and slaps the ground 3 times ...
[Announcer]
SPRING STAMPEDE 1997, LIVE on pay-per-view, coming soon ... will
YOU be ready for it?
=================================================================
{Camera opens with a shot of Dacia Blackthorne holding an ice
pack over her eye. Susan O'Malley stands in the backfround
looking out the window to the Loch below.}
[Dacia Blackthorne]
{smiling} Guess what folks? Guess who got jumped again! Yep! It
seems like everybody and their mother wants to knock me outta
contention. Melissa Wright, Sarah Victory, Monster 13, Dream
Succubus ... who else wants to get a piece of the old
"Ringmaster" Dacia Blackthorne? I'm sure some of you out there
think "If we keep kicking her when she's down, then she'll quit
soon" right?
Well YOU'RE WRONG! I think I've had enough of playing the role of
Ms. Goody Two shoes. I've had more stiches put in me the past
months than heart surgeons see in a career. I've been beat with
chains, blind sided, ambushed, and left for dead. Well, ladies,
fun time is over ...
{Dacia stands up and drops the ice bag on the couch to reveal a
new set of stitches across her left eyebrow.}
[Blackthorne]
... you had to keep pushing instead of leaving well enough alone.
Well, that's fine. I think it's high time we put things in
another gear and settled this score once and for all. Since the
old blue hairs in the front office see fit to ignore everything
that goes on around here, I think I'll deal with the situation my
way. Listen up gals because we're in for a long winter, and this
knows hot to heat it up!
=================================================================
{Fade back to Alan Kinsman ... in the ring with Alex and Kieth
Matthews.}
[Kinsman]
Our next attraction is for one fall, with a ten minute time limit
... our first competitors, already in the ring: Kieth and Alex
Matthews!!! Their opponents ... are the REIGNING AWI NORTH
AMERICAN TAG CHAMPIONS!!!
{Let the boos begin.}
[Kinsman]
Accompanied to the ring by their manager, JOHNNY ROOKS ... at a
total combined weight of 247 lbs. ... they are ... KIM "TIGER"
LEE ... and JILLIAM BOLE ... PERFECTION!!!
{"The Perfect Fanfare" by the AWI Orchestra keys up, and the trio
emerge from behind the curtain leading backstage. Both members of
Perfection are wearing their AWI North American Tag Championship
belts ... the boos only increase as the two walk to ringside.}
[Rasputin]
Perfection is another team that's incredibly hot right now ...
Jilliam seems ready to start against Alex Matthews ... Matthews
charges in, but is dropped by a dropkick ... and another ... and
Bole moves into an armbar.
[Stone]
Okay, here's the bomb ... a couple of old friends of Perfection
have decided to accept that open contract ... more specifically:
B-52 and The Falcon -- THE WARBIRDS!!!
[Johnston]
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
[Stone]
Did I say something funny? And, if so, can I reuse that line
later?
[Johnston]
Firstly, Perfection has already defeated the WarBirds in fair
competition recently ... moreover, this is a cage match ... and I
would tend to doubt very seriously the chances of B-52 climbing
out of a cage ...
[Rasputin]
Well, remember, this is an AWI cage match ... which means you
can't win by running ... you must pin your opponent or make him
submit ... Matthews finally fighting up from that armbar ... Bole
drags him over to Perfection's corner ... Bole with the tag ...
DROPKICK TO THE KNEE BY BOLE AS LEE HITS A JUMPING ROUNDHOUSE!!!
[Johnston]
I say again: no other team in the AWI can perform as one with the
skill of Perfection. Intensive Care are merely the placeholders
for the World Belts until Lee and Bole decided to take them ...
[Rasputin]
Kim Lee with a set of palm thrusts to down Alex ... irish whip
into the corner ... Lee with the tag ... both members of
Perfection to the far side ... DOUBLE HANDSPRING ELBOW!!!! Alex
Matthews falls to the mat in a heap ... Bole covers ... 1 ... 2
... 3!!!!
[Kinsman]
The winners of the match ... PERFECTION!!!
[Rasputin]
And Perfection not even needing to use the Perfect Tag Team
Finisher against the Matthews ...
[Johnston]
You sound surprised.
[Rasputin]
Let's go to some highlights of that match...
{Shot of the dropkick / jumping roundhouse combination ... and
another of the double handspring elbow to finish Alex Matthews.}
=================================================================
{And fade in to Trinity Saunders in the women's locker room,
standing next to an unhappy-looking Dorothy Gayle.}
[Trinity Saunders]
We're here with "Blue-Ribbon" Dorothy Gayle ... and not long ago,
Dorothy, we heard some pretty strong comments from Sara Victory,
as well as a challenge to a rematch. Do you have a response?
[Dorothy Gayle]
Yes. First, I'd like to say that any time Victory wants a
rematch, she's welcome to it. Mom & Dad didn't raise a girl
scared of a challenge, and I'm not going to let them down.
Second ... I may owe her an apology. I've been doing a lot of
thinking about the way Susan O'Malley and Dacia Blackthorne have
been acting, and you know what? Victory may have had a point. But
Sara, you DON'T make points in Kansas by blindsiding people, and
I'm pretty sure the rest of the country feels the same way.
[Saunders]
On your upcoming match with Dacia Blackthorne ... isn't this
face-off a little unusual?
[Gayle]
Not really -- it's just a friendly match between fellow
competitors, after all ...
[Saunders]
Forgive me for saying so, but you don't look like a woman who's
approaching it that way.
[Gayle]
Well ... You're right, Trinity, I'm not. {sigh} The truth is, I
don't know WHAT to think of Miss Blackthorne. I watched her on TV
when she first came here, and she made a big deal about how she
was the greatest thing since sliced bread. Then a few things
don't go her way, and she gets all mean and nasty -- she's been
obnoxious and insulting, she gets Susan O'Malley to act like her
chief thug, she storms matches that weren't supposed to be hers
... it's like she thinks the AWI was created just for her and
Wright to get into spats ... I mean, take the Fallen Angel's last
title "defense."
[Saunders]
I think Dacia explained herself thoroughly last week --
turnabout's fair play.
[Gayle]
I don't think it IS, Trinity. I think fair play is fair play. I
mean, isn't that like saying it was OK for Melissa Wright to
attack her in the /first/ place? I don't think anybody wants a
league where what's right and wrong is determined by what the
Billion-Dollar Babe feels like getting away with.
[Saunders]
So, what does this have to do with tonight's match?
[Gayle]
It's simple, really ... I AM going to wrestle tonight like a
friendly match between two fellow competitors. If I win, I win,
and if I lose, well, I've lost before. But that all assumes Dacia
plays fair. If this "new and improved" Dacia, the mean &
conniving Dacia, shows up instead ... then the AWI's fans will
know where she stands, and what she's really like.
=================================================================
{Fade back to Alan Kinsman in the ring... }
[Kinsman]
Our next contest is for one fall, with a ten minute time limit
... our first competitor... hails from Topeka, Kansas... she
stands 5'7" ... and weighs 122 lbs... she is ... "BLUE RIBBON"
DOROTHY GAYLE!!!
{"The Kansas City Song" by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band
keys up, and the crowd cheers the gorgeous country girl ...
though far more serious than normal, she does slap a few fans
hands, and gives a guy in the first row a peck on the cheek.}
Her opponent ... stands 5'8" ... and weighs 180 lbs. ... she
hails from Loch Ness, Scotland ... she is ... "THE RINGMASTER"
DACIA BLACKTHORNE!!!
{"The Scottish Funeral March" keys up, and the crowd gets even
louder for Blackthorne ... she still has a rather large bruise
on her forehead, and she also seems far more intense than normal,
but that's not stopping her from coming down, slapping a few
hands on the way.}
[Rasputin]
Collar and elbow tieup between the two fan favorites ...
Blackthorne to an armdrag ... into an armbar ... she has it
locked on /VERY/ solidly ...
[Johnston]
Amazing ... she's learned an effective offensive manuever ...
which does not involve her speaking into a camera. I am quite
impressed.
[Rasputin]
Alliyah ... it's not like you to continually cut someone down.
[Stone]
Yeah, that's my job!!!
[Rasputin]
ANYWAY ... what problem do you seem to have with the Ringmaster?
[Johnston]
Besides the fact that she is not close to being as attractive as
she thinks she is? Dacia Blackthorne is a stepping stone. She was
a stepping stone for Tiger Z ... she was a stepping stone for
Melissa Wright ... she was a stepping stone for Dream Succubus ...
and, were it not for the fact that Dorothy Gayle is too inept to
attack her aggressively, she would be a stepping stone for her
also. Furthermore, I cannot stomach anyone that complains about
her setbacks repeatedly. Therefore, she is a whining stepping
stone, which is a horrible combination.
[Stone]
Why don't you just tell us exactly how you feel, Alliyah, and not
sugarcoat it or anything?...
[Rasputin]
Gayle finally twisting out of that armbar ... Blackthorne raises
Gayle to her feet ... the Blue Ribbon with an armdrag of her own
... into an armbar of her own!!!
[Stone]
Okay, Dorothy ... just move a little more to the right ...
[Rasputin]
To the right? What--
{The camera goes to an "over Paul's shoulder" shot, which just
happens to be down Gayle's shirt as she's bent over for the
armbar.}
[Rasputin]
PAUL!!!!
[Johnston]
He cannot help himself, Heather ... Gayle is an incredibly
attractive woman.
[Stone]
Thank you, Alliyah...
[Johnston]
And since the closest he'll come to one is sitting with us, we
must grant him some pity.
[Stone]
Ummm... never mind that thank you. And never mind this... look!!!
{Shoot to a scene of the aisle, where the Mississippi Queen is
standing, watching the match.}
[Rasputin]
Hmmm ... things get more and more interesting ... Blackthorne
fighting her way up now ... SHORT-ARM CLOTHESLINE!!!
[Stone]
That's the express way out of an armbar ...
[Rasputin]
Blackthorne picks her up... AND ANOTHER!!! Gayle's looking woozy
... Blackthorne stands to her side ... picks her up ... SIDE
RUSSIAN LEGSWEEP!!!! Gayle clutching her head in pain from this
sudden assault ...
[Johnston]
Perhaps Gayle's ineptness surpasses even the credit I gave
her ...
[Rasputin]
Blackthorne's on a roll ... she picks her up ... DOROTHY GAYLE
WITH A SMALL PACKAGE!!! 1 ... 2 ... 3!!!
[Kinsman]
The winner of the match ... in a time of 1:46 ... "BLUE RIBBON"
DOROTHY GAYLE!!!
[Johnston]
It would seem I've spoken too soon ... Blackthorne is even a
stepping stone for Blue Ribbon's career.
[Rasputin]
Blackthorne and Gayle both up ... Blackthorne looks pretty
frustrated ... they part -- so apparently they'll be no
confrontations ... which is a new and welcome change ... and
speaking of welcome, let's go to Chad Duncan, in Spring Stampede
Central!!!
=================================================================
{Switch to Chad Duncan, at a newcaster's desk.}
[Chad Duncan]
Thanks Heather! Fans, Spring Stampede is only a bit over a month
away, and already there's excitement brewing!!! Besides the big
battle royale, we have at least three other matches signed! As
Paul alluded to earlier, Perfection ...
{Switch to a shot of Kim Lee and Jilliam Bole, standing, looking

rights to their NAMES against ...

has a serious look while giving the camera a thumbs up.}

Angel!!!

We'll also see one of the greatest matches of the year, the
Spring Stampede Battle Royal. How does it work? It's a delayed
entrance battle royale, with each participant being randomly
placed. Eliminations are made by throwing someone over the top
rope, with both of the victim's feet hitting the floor! Of
course, the winner of it all is the last man standing in the
ring, and he gets a shot at the World Title at the AWI
Challengers and Champions Fox Special!!!
But that's not all! The guy that lasts the longest in the ring
gets a TV Title shot ... the guy that eliminates the most people
gets a North American Title shot ... and the guy that eliminates
the first person gets $20,000 as an early Christmas bonus!!!
Already signed up are ...
{shots of each person flash as their name is said}
"Team Stevens" member "Way Cool, Jr." Corey Bonham!!!
Light-heavyweight powerhouse "Devastating" Dan Lea!!!
"The Troublemaker" Ken Mischief!!!

One half of the up-and-coming Boot Hill, "Gunslinger" Glenn
Turner!!!
Former WWA World Champion and former AWI TV Champion "Superman"

find out in the coming weeks ... but that just makes this
pay-per-view even more incredible!!!
AND that doesn't even include our main event, where our World
champion ...
{Switch to a shot of Robertson with the AWI World title belt over
his shoulder, smirking at the camera}
... John Robertson, will face his biggest challenge yet? And what
do I mean by biggest? All seven foot one, three hundred and
eighty pounds of "War Machine" Greg Gardner!
{Switch to a shot of the War Machine, with his arms folded,

{Fade back to Trinity Saunders, outside of the Men's locker room.
Standing next to her is Ken Mischief.}
[Saunders]
I'm here with "The Troublemaker" Ken Mischief. Ken, tonight you
are facing "Superman" Mike Piersall, a former World Champion.
What are your thoughts?
[Mischief]
My thoughts? My thoughts?! {shaking his head} My thoughts are
that the AWI is getting desperate in putting men in the ring
with me!!!! I have destroyed some of their better talent. Mist
Angel -- we will meet again!! You got lucky ... and I commend
you for a good match. But honestly -- you know that you are no
match for Ken Mischief.
[Saunders]
You don't believe that Piersall can give you a challenge?
[Mischief]
Ten years ago maybe ... but now, no way!!! Piersall, you will
fall like Mendoza did and the rest of them. I am the future of
the AWI. I have been rising in the rankings quickly and I don't
plan to be delayed by losing to a has-been like Piersall. This
man has wasted enough of the people's time. The AWI better get
some real talent because putting Piersall out there night after
night will only bore these fans to death.
[Saunders]
Piersall has already become TV champion in this short time he has
been back -- do you think that was a fluke?
[Mischief]
No, I think that the man that he beat for the belt was not worthy
either. I think that the AWI is scared of offering me the chance
to fight for any belt. I would love the chance to butt heads with
John Robertson or Jack Fury or whatever taste of the week the AWI
has holding the TV Title. These chances aren't being offered so I
will come out here and kick the ass of the so-called legend
Piersall!!!
{Mischief storms off.}
=================================================================
[Kinsman]
Our next attraction is for one fall, with a ten minute time limit
... our first competitor ... stands six feet, four inches ... and
weighs two-hundred eighty-two pounds ... he is... KEN MISCHIEF!!!
{Ken Mischief comes out to no music, yelling at fans on his way
down the aisle, as they shower him with a chorus of boos and
signs of dissatisfaction.}
His opponent ... also stands six feet, four inches, and weighs in
at two hundred seventy-eight pounds ... he is a former AWI
TELEVISION CHAMPION ... he is... "SUPERMAN" MIKE PIERSALL!!!
{"Superman Fanfare" (John Williams Orchestra) comes on, as Mike
Piersall comes through the curtain to the roar of fan approval.}
[Rasputin]
Both men in the ring ... they circle each other slowly ... this
promises to be a /VERY/ interesting match-up, as both men are
strong and powerful ... I think we'll find out right now who is
the more "all around" wrestler ...
[Johnston]
I would hazard a guess at Mischief, from the armbar he just
secured upon Piersall.
[Rasputin]
Indeed, Mischief with that armbar /TIGHT/ on Piersall ... he
can't seem to find a way out.
[Stone]
Well, if he could easily get out, there wouldn't be much point
... he might as well just punch him out ... then again, given the
person in question, I could see that happening pretty soon anyway.
{Immense crowd boo as the camera switches to "Hardliner" Jason
Wrath being shown walking down the aisle towards the ring. He
wears blue jeans, a white t-shirt, and black leather boots.}
[Stone]
Hey, I don't think the joke was that baaaaaa....
{Switch back to the announcer's table, where Wrath has relieved
Stone of his seat, and has grabbed a spare headset.}
[Jason Wrath]
What kinda crap is this? 10 seconds into the match, and Aquaman's
already getting beaten up!
[Stone]
Umm ... that's "Superman"
[Wrath]
Superman, Aquaman, Macho Man, I don't care who he thinks he is
... the guy's a gimp!! That's the bottom line!
[Rasputin]
Piersall powering out of the armbar to his feet, as we seem to be
joined by the "Hardliner" Jason Wrath ... Piersall powering his
way to his feet ... Mischief bodyslamming Piersall ... and lays
into some kicks to the arm ...
[Wrath]
A hardliner who's not getting much outta this ... How am I
supposed to scout this guy if he's continually getting pounded
on?!?!
[Rasputin]
Mischief picks up the Superman of the AWI ... tosses him to the
ropes ... but Mike Piersall with a clothesline that staggers!!!
He hits the ropes ... another clothesline!!! Scoops up the
Troublemaker ... BODYSLAM!!!
[Wrath]
Yeah, this guy's deep: clothesline ... bodyslam -- must have
taken years to develop those moves there!
[Stone]
And we've seen from you so far?
[Wrath]
You said something, Stone?
[Stone]
{quite a bit ... concerned} Umm ... not if you say so,
Mr. Wrath ...
[Wrath]
Hey, this Stone guy's not too dumb, is he?
[Rasputin]
Piersall picks him up ... Mischief stuns him with a punch ...
whips him in ... and a clothesline takes down the Superman ...
and then back to the armbar.
[Johnston]
It would appear you are not particularly impressed by Mike
Piersall, Mr. Wrath.
[Wrath]
Hey, don't get me wrong -- both of these guys are great physical
specimens. It's just that Mike Piersall's an over-the-hill
cripple that's wasting airtime, Ken Mischief's time ... and my
time next week!
[Rasputin]
Piersall powering out os the armbar again ... double irish whip
by Mischief ... into a Superman Clothesline!!! Piersall clutching
that arm a bit ... he picks Ken ... SOLID belly-to-belly suplex
by Piersall ... 1 ... but that's all he'll get from that! Forearm
by Piersall ... both men up ... and Piersall with a bodyslam ...
picks him up... gutwrench suplex!!!
[Wrath]
Look at that ... the gimp's finally decided to fight back! This
deserves a closer look!
{With that, Wrath steps from the announcer's table, and starts
watching the match from right next to the ring.}
[Rasputin]
Piersall lifts up the Troublemaker ... Ken Mischief with a
short-arm clothesline to stun Piersall ... kicks away again at
the arm of the standing Piersall ... forearm smash drops Piersall
... Mischief to the ropes ... leg drop ... NOBODY HOME!!!
[Johnston]
That could prove to be quite the costly mistake ... these are
two very evenly matched opponents. Any one mistake could be the
match!!!
[Rasputin]
That could be the case, as Piersall lifts Mischief up ...
front-facelock ... HIGH vertical suplex ... CRASHING to the mat!
Picks up the Troublemaker ... scoops him over his shoulder ...
RUNNING POWERSLAM!!! Mike Piersall in total control ... he lifts
... Mischief grabs his tights ... and sends him crashing to the
outside!!!
[Stone]
Convienently at Wrath's feet ... do you smell "setup"?
[Johnston]
It's rather obvious that Piersall slipped to the outside on his
own ... and now Wrath's being nice enough to help him to his
feet ...
[Rasputin]
HELP MY FOOT!!! He's cinching him up as Mischief starts gabbing
with referee Marty Wood ... NECKBREAKER ON PIERSALL'S HURT
NECK!!! Wrath dusting himself off as Piersall clutches his neck
in pain ... and Wrath rolls him back in the ring like nothing
happened!!!
[Stone]
Well, heck, nothing at all happened to Wraaaaaa...
{Switch back as Wrath has again relieved Stone of his seat and
sits back down.}
[Wrath]
You see the nerve of that guy!!! I try to help him up, and he
attacked me!!! Did you see that?
[Johnston]
Just as one would expect from an athlete as obviously inferior as
Piersall. I'm not suprised.
[Rasputin]
ANYWAYS ... Mischief picks up Piersall ... but it looks like that
TOTALLY UNNECESSARY neckbreaker took a lot out of Piersall ...
[Wrath]
Hey, a guy's gotta defend himself.
[Rasputin]
And Mischief with ANOTHER NECKBREAKER!!! Piersall's hurt ...
Mischief sends him into the ropes ... "BIG TROUBLE" TILT-A-WIRL BACKBREAKER!!!! 1 ... 2 ... HE GETS HIM!!!
[Kinsman]
The winner of the match ... at a time of 5:01 ... KEN MISCHIEF!
[Wrath]
Well, that's all I need to see. Thanks for the seat, Stone ...
I'm outta here!!!
[Rasputin]
And the tag-team of Mischief and Wrath gets the win over Mike
Piersall.
[Johnston]
I only saw one man in the ring wrestling Piersall, and that
would be Ken Mischief.
[Rasputin]
ANYWAYS ... it would appear that we have some very interesting
fans in the audience tonight ... Trinity?
=================================================================
{Scene changes to Trinity Saunders, standing in the aisle, at an
indeterminate point in the stands. Angela Dante and Brenda Storm
are seated next to her, just handing back some autograph books.}
[Saunders]
Apparently, the duo of Angela Dante and Brenda Storm purchased
tickets to the show. Any particular objective to this, ladies?
[Angela Dante]
{smiling} Well, we just thought we'd come down and take a look at
who'd we have to beat in the finals next week.
[Brenda Storm]
{leaning forward} We came to *scout* both teams, to see who'd we
have to *face* next week. We also thought it would be good to get
out among the fans a little.
[Dante]
Oh, please! We're on a roll!! We can't be beat!
[Storm]
We both know better than that, stop trying to make trouble.
[Dante]
{grinning even wider} Aw, geez, Mom, but it's so much fun!
[Storm]
{sighs, and talks to Trinity} Who'd've thought tagging with her
would be like this?
{Angela laughs}
[Saunders]
So is there any specific concerns going into the final match of
the Women's Tag tournament?
[Storm]
Nothing in particular, other than we hope to do our best, and may
the best team come out on top.
[Dante]
Although I *am* concerned about Dream Succubus' short-term memory.
Apparently, they've forgotten they were *in* the tournament.
Traumatic losses can do that sometimes, I hear.
[Storm]
If Dream Succubus wants a match with the champions, they can go
to the championship committee and request one. Once they were
beaten, they had *no* claim left to the tag team belts. They
certainly can't demand a match with the champions.
[Saunders]
Alright, thank you for your comments. Let's get back to the ring
for our next match...
=================================================================
{Switch back to Alan Kinsman in the ring.}
[Kinsman]
Ladies and gentlemen ... our next attraction is for one fall,
with a ten minute time limit ... and it is for the AWI TELEVISION
CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Our challenger ... stands 5'10" ... and weighs
two-hundred twenty-five pounds ... led to the ring by his
manager, ROBBIE STEVENS, he is.... TOSHIAKI HASEGAWA!!!
{"Nothing But A Good Time" by Poison blasts over the loudspeakers,
as Robbie leads a very sharply-dressed Toshiaki Hasegawa to the
ring. Hasegawa slowly and carefully takes of his suit once he gets
to the ring, as the fans vehemently boo him.}
[Kinsman]
His opponent is the current AWI TELEVISION CHAMPION!!! He hails
from Salem, Massachusetts ... stands six feet, five inches, and
weighs in at two-hundred fifty-eight pounds ... he is ...
REVEREND JEREMIAH JAMES!!!!
{The crowd continues to voice it;s extreme disapproval as the
"Man of God" comes down to ringside to "Onward Christian Soldiers"
... he grabs a microphone once he gets into the ring.}
[Reverend Jeremiah James]
It is written in the Book of Faith, my congregation, that for all
things there is a time, purpose, and season. For the Reverend
James, the season of the lessons of gold has passed ... those who
have ears, may hear, those who have eyes, may see, that the root
of all pain is evil, and the root of all evil is the love of
earthly treasures such as this {*lifts the belt*} golden idol.
Learn then, those who can, and renounce your greed.
You, Toshiaki Hasegawa, you face your own purgatory for your sins
... but you are a strong man with a stronger soul, and you need
not this humble servant of the LORD to teach you. This, {*throws
the belt at Hasegawa's feet*} this is your cross to bear. Bear it
well, and learn.
{*Rolls out of the ring and walks away.*}
[Rasputin]
WHAT THE HELL?!?!?!
[Stone]
Actually, I think Hell's the last thing involved here.
[Rasputin]
Referee Shawntell White not certain what to make of this ... as
Hasegawa puts the belt on, and begins a strut. Robbie Stevens is
jumping up and down ... I think he's got his first champion ...
we have to go to a commercial, folks -- we'll be right back, and
hopefully this will be sorted out!!!
=================================================================
COMMERCIAL BREAK:
"Morning" from the Peer Gynt Suite plays softly, over animated
footage of a warm spring day in the woods ... the trees are
growing new leaves ... squirrels, rabbits, and deer frolic in
the distance ... a robin lands in the foreground, pecking at
the ground ... he grabs a worm, as another robin lands ... the
two begin tussling over the worm, and the music suddenly changes
to a screeching electric guitar as the bigger one wraps a wing
around the other robin's head and suplexes him, then covers him
as a chipmunk hops over and slaps the ground 3 times ...
[Announcer]
SPRING STAMPEDE 1997, LIVE on pay-per-view, coming soon ... will
YOU be ready for it?
=================================================================
{Switch back to Alan Kinsman, in the ring...}
[Kinsman]
Our next match is a tag team attraction, and the semi-finals of
the AWI Women's Tag Team tournament!!! Our first competitors
have a total combined weight of three hundred and seventy-seven
pounds ... led to the ring by their manager, ROBBIE STEVENS ...
they are ... TORI JOHANNSENN ... AND JESSICA PERKINS ... ROBBIE'S
ANGELS!!!
{"Just A Girl" by No Doubt blasts over the loudspeakers, as the
trio come down to ringside. Jessica Perkins seems more interested
in her Barbie Doll than anything else, and she keeps muttering to
it about her mother. Tori barks occasionally at the fans, and
Robbie comes down to ringside, still grinning from ear to ear,
with a bag in his hand.}
[Kinsman]
Their opponents ... at a combined total weight of two-hundred and
seventy-six pounds ... KELLY TUCKER and ... "SPITFIRE" JENNIFER
PETERS!
{Kelly Tucker and "Spitfire" Peters come to the ring to no music,
but slapping hands and interacting with the fans all the way.}
[Rasputin]
We're back for the second semi-final match in the AWI Women's Tag
Team Tournament ... the winners of this match will take on ...
JOHANNSEN AND PERKINS ARE ATTACKING PETERS AND TUCKER AS PETERS
TRIES TO GET OUT THE RING!!! Johannsen knocks Peters to the apron
with a "Tundra Kick" running big boot ... but Tucker with a
dropkick wards off the charging Jessica Perkins!!!
[Stone]
I'd want to run her off too!!! Her full house is three of a kind
short, if you know what I mean ...
[Rasputin]
Johannsenn drags Peters into the ring ... now BITING the rookie
"Spitfire" Peters. Tucker dropkicks Joha-- no, Johannsenn's out
the way, and Tucker eats mat. Referee Charles Watson gets
Jennifer Perkins out of the ring -- she's yelling how she's going
to "show Mother the truth" ... and now seeking solace from her
Barbie Doll.
[Stone]
I dunno ... having to choose between Robbie Stevens and the doll
... the doll would look kinda appealing.
[Rasputin]
Johannsen kicks away at the downed Spitfire as Watson's now
putting out Tucker ... looks like it'll be Tori and Spitfire to
start ... Johannsen bends down ... and throws a hammerlock on the
youngster.
[Johnston]
Johannsen's style of wrestling -- the methodology she uses to
weaken the arm in preparation for her Hammerlock of Thor -- is
incredibly similar to the methods used by Mike "Stretcher" Kirwan
... one would almost postulate that Johannsenn and Kirwan undergo
extracurricular training together ...
[Stone]
Which makes me wonder whether or not Kirwan's wife knows about it
... or, more importantly, how much it's worth to Kirwan not for
his wife to know!!!
[Rasputin]
Peters twists out of the hammerlock ... but Johannsenn reverses
into an armbar ... I'm being told we have to go to commercial
... we'll be right back!!!!
=================================================================
COMMERCIALS
=================================================================
{Return back to Kelly Tucker reversing a Tori Johannsenn whip
into the railing outside the ring, as Robbie Stevens is on the
apron yelling at Referee Watson.}
[Rasputin]
We're back ... during that commercial break Peters managed to get
the tag into Kelly Tucker ... and let's show you on split-screen
what else happened ...
{Splits screen - on the right, we see Tucker roll Johannsenn in,
and slap on a lever leglock ... on the left, we see Johannsen
with a hammerlock on Tucker ... then scoops her up ... and into a
hammerlock bodyslam over the top rope.}
[Rasputin]
Johannsen punching her way out of the leglock ... twists down,
and now has Tucker in an armbar ... and a solid one at that ...
[Johnston]
Which exemplifies how Tucker and Peters have thoroughly
mis-scouted their opponents ... Johannsen, while excellent at
fisticuffs, does possess quite the mat wrestling repetoire ... it
is definitely a mistake for Kelly Tucker to depend upon mat
wrestling for a victory.
[Rasputin]
Tucker now twisting out ... but Johannsenn bites her on the
forehead for good measure.
[Stone]
Either that, or Robbie's hiding the Snausages away from her
again ...
[Rasputin]
Johannsen to her feet ... and lays into Kelly Tucker with kicks
to the arm ... she picks up the veteran competitor ... double
irish whip ... BODYPRESS BY JOHANNSEN ... no count, but that must
have really shocked Tucker.
[Stone]
Heck -- look, it shocked Robbie!!!
{Switch to a shot of Robbie Stevens, who's standing outside
holding his face, with his mouth making a perfect "O', Home-Alone
style.}
[Rasputin]
Johannsenn chokes Tucker for a moment ... another double irish
whip ... and she PLANTS Tucker with a Tundra Kick ... and I have
to say Kelly Tucker is really taking a beating right now ... she
may have to tag in Spitfire very soon.
[Johnston]
If that is the case, then the match is already completed. If
Kelly cannot compete with the ferocity of Tori Johannsenn, or the
x-factor of Jessica Perkins, then I'd sincerely doubt "Spitfire"
Peters has ... ah ... what is the colloquialism?
[Stone]
"A snowball's chance in hell"?
[Johnston]
Yes. Exactly.
[Rasputin]
Johannsenn again kicking away savagely at the downed Tucker ... 3
... 4 ... 5 ... 6 ... 7 ... 8 times!!! She cinches up the
hammerlock from behind ... HAMMERLOCK O-- NO!!! Tucker wraps her
leg around Johannsen to block ... but Johannsen scoops her up for
a hard shoulderbreaker ... she picks up a VERY hurt Kelly Tucker
and ... what the?!?!
{Switch to a shot of Robbie Stevens, pulling out a Snausage from a
bag at ringside and waving it at Tori.}
[Rasputin]
Tori just drops Tucker and steps over her ... I don't believe ...
Robbie is ...
[Johnston]
Setting back feminism five years for every step Johannsen makes
toward the Snausage, yes ... however, one must do what is
effective.
[Rasputin]
And Kelly Tucker does just that ... cinching a toehold on as Tori
is halfway across the ring ... into a wakigatme armbar ... she
rolls over Johannsen ... AND MAKES THE TAG TO PETERS!!! TORI'S UP
... SPRINGBOARD BODYPRESS BY SPITFIRE PETERS!!!! No count, though
... as Johannsen's up first, and begins choking the life out of
Peters ...
[Stone]
Well ... she got a move in ... that's about as good as Tucker's
been doing, and Spitfire was only in the ring 6 seconds ...
[Rasputin]
Johannsen releases ... she hits the ropes ... leg drop ... NOBODY
HOME!!!
[Johnston]
Yes, the young Peters is far too agile for such a manuever.
[Rasputin]
Spitfire to her feet ... she hits the ropes ... SOMERSAULT FIST
DROP ... RIGHT INTO JOHANNSEN'S KNEES!!!
[Johnston]
And the impetuosity of youth again loses out. I'd expect far
better training from a veteran such as Tucker.
[Rasputin]
Yes, as Johannsen hovers over Peters ... she ... stops?
[Stone]
Yes, folks ... TORI SMELLS SNAUSAGES!!!
[Rasputin]
Indeed, Johannsen cuts off the attack to tag out to Jessica
Peters ... {mumbles under her breath} and eat a Snausage ...
{back to normal} Perkins yelling at Tucker now that "Jennifer's
her favorite" ... she kicks-- NO!! Spitfire rolls away from the
kick ... and nails one of her own to stun Perkins!!!
[Johnston]
I must wonder at this point if there is some type of previous
relationship between Jessica Perkins and Kelly Tucker ...
[Stone]
Of course. Kelly's sane ... Jessica's crazy. They're opposites.
[Rasputin]
Spitfire up now ... dropkick lays out Perkins ... STANDING
SOMERSAULT FIST DROP ... RIGHT INTO PERKINS' BOOT!!!
[Stone]
That's not fair!!! Tori gets a Snausage ... Spitfire gets
leather!!!
[Rasputin]
Perkins up now ... and sends Peters flying through the ropes ...
Referee Charles Watson in her face for that, but Robbie hops on
the apron ... Perkins follows Spitfire out ... she grabs a steel
chair from somewhere ... yells at Tucker about Jennifer being the
favorite ... and NAILS Spitfire Peters across the back with that
steel chair!!!
[Stone]
See ... if Kelly Tucker would have just bought her that Erector
set like she wanted ...
[Rasputin]
ANYWAY ... Tucker running around to help her partner ... AGAIN
across the back with that chair ... she's not trying to win a
match ... she's trying to INJURE "Spitfire" Jennifer Peters.
[Johnston]
From where I'm sitting, Heather, those goals are indeed one and
the same ...
[Rasputin]
HOW CAN WATSON NOT HEAR THOSE CHAIRSHOTS -- AGAIN ACROSS
SPITFIRE'S BACK!!! And Jennifer Peters is writhing on the ground
in pain ... she is hurt, folks ... HERE COMES TUCKER --
INTERCEPTED BY JOHANNSENN WITH A CLOTHESLINE!!!
[Stone]
Man -- if those aren't tag team skills, I don't know what are.
[Rasputin]
Perkins drops the chair ... she picks up a near limp Spitfire
Peters ... SPITFIRE WITH A DDT TO THE OUTSIDE!!!! Tori throws
Kelly Tucker into the railing ... Tucker looks pretty hurt, folks
... as Spitfire rolls a dazed Jessica Perkins in ... Spitfire to
the top rope ... Perkins to her feet ... FLYING BODYPRESS--
NOTHING BUT MAT!!!
[Stone]
And, lo, all hopes of survival for Tucker and Peters were
summarily dashed away like so much eraser shavings ...
[Rasputin]
Perkins picks her up... she yells at Tucker, who's being held up
by Johannsen ... Johannsen looks up at Perkins ... TUCKER WITH
THE DDT TO THE OUTSIDE!!! Double irish whip ... PERKINS WITH A
RUNNING BOOT TO THE FACE!!!! THAT LOOKED EVEN MORE DEVASTATING
THAN JOHANNSEN'S TUNDRA KICK!!!
[Stone]
And can't help deface one of the best things to gaze upon in the
AWI!!!
[Rasputin]
Perkins covers for the pin ... 1 ... 2 ... SPITFIRE KICKS OUT!!!
WHAT HEART!!! WHAT DETERMINATION!!!
[Stone]
What incredible desire to be placed on injured reserve ...
[Rasputin]
Tucker and Johannsenn back at their respective corners now ... as
Perkins just lays into Spitfire with punches ...
[Stone]
Hey -- as a wise man once said: "Not to the face!!! Not to the
face!!!"
[Johnston]
I'm sorry, Paul, but I don't follow.
[Stone]
Well, at least she'll be able to pursue a career in modelling
after this assuming Perkins avoids the face ... and assuming
Peters can still walk, anyway.
[Rasputin]
Seven straight shots to the head by Jessica Perkins ... and
Spitfire is down and hurt ... she picks up the young rookie ...
double irish whip ... ANOTHER RUNNING BOOT TO THE FACE!!!! 1 ...
2 ... AND AGAIN PETERS WON'T GO DOWN!!! THAT IS THE HEART OF A
TRUE CHAMPION!!!
[Johnston]
Indeed, to give credit where it is due, most other competitors
would have conceded defeat at this point ... others, like Dacia
Blackthorne, would not have even gotten this far.
[Rasputin]
ANYWAYS ... Perkins now is the one biting Peters.
{DINGDINGDINGDING}
[Rasputin]
I'm not sure what's occurred ... perhaps Peters submitted ...
Perkins hasn't eased off of her attack ... Tucker in to stop her
... but again met by a Tori Johannsen clothesline!!! Both Kelly
Tucker and Spitfire Peters are down ... TORI JOHANNSEN WITH THE
HAMMERLOCK OF THOR ON KELLY TUCKER ... Perkins lays boots to what
must be an injured back of "Spitfire" Peters ... Robbie throws
Perkins a chair -- oh no-- AGAIN to the back!!!
[Stone]
Man, I haven't seen somebody get beat like this since-- since--
since Tori Johannsen beat up on the Fallen Angel! Say -- do you
think there's a coincidence here?
[Rasputin]
Well, it's no coincidence that BRENDA STORM AND ANGELA DANTE HAVE
HIT THE RING!!! Robbie and his Angels scatter... but the damage
has been done ... Tucker doesn't look that bad off ... but
"Spitfire" Peters is unconscious ... she may need medical
attention ... let's get the official word ...
[Kinsman]
Ladies and Gentlemen ... THE TIME LIMIT HAS EXPIRED!!! THIS MATCH
HAS BEEN RULED ... A DRAW!!!!
[Rasputin]
EMT's have arrived on the scene ... they're loading "Spitfire"
Peters onto a stretcher ... we're not sure what this does to the
women's tournament ... but, more importantly, we have to be
concerned about the condition of Spitfire Peters ... fans, we have
to go to a commercial ... we'll be right back.

children, let them see the inferiority in your eyes, the stench
of defeat seeping from your bloated, American pores. Hear them
hail a defeated warrior!
You are...uh oh..." *THWUMP*
{Jade Tiger drops the mic while attempting to make a hasty
retreat to escape a charging Jack Fury, who has made a full
sprint from the locker room before his music can even get cued
up.}
[Rasputin]
JACK FURY CLOTHESLINES JADE TIGER TO THE OUTSIDE!!!
[Stone]
Shoulda stopped at the "bloated American press" line ... ah, the
follies of those that want too much microphone time.
[Rasputin]
The Crow from behind with a savate kick ... BUT FURY DUCKS!!! And
CATCHES a martial arts kick to the mouth in return!!!
[Johnston]
The proper punishment for someone who would assault a retired
icon of this sport.
[Rasputin]
An icon that could be taught some respect for women, Alliyah --
remember that ... Fury staggered from that kick ... and taken
down by a Crow dropkick!!! The Crystal Crow bends down ... begins
to choke Fury ... but Fury forearms him away!!! Double irish whip
... HARD clothesline takes him down ...
[Johnston]
Perhaps there was more to Fury's attack on the Tiger than meets
the eye ... the Crystal Crow definitely seems distracted by it,
and, if the Crystal Crow has lost his edge, Fury is a good enough
streetfighter to come out of this with a win ...
[Rasputin]
Solid bodyslam by Fury ... he dashes to the ropes ... HARD leg
drop ... He pulls the Crow to his feet ... KNEEBREAKER!!! The
Crystal Crow is clutching his leg, and it's all Jack Fury so far!!!
[Stone]
Or, maybe Fury just likes beating people up, and wanted to make
things efficient by beating up the Tiger first, and then getting
to Crystal Crow...
[Rasputin]
Fury with the pin ... but the Jade Tiger's arguing with referee
Shawntell White!!!
[Stone]
Undoubtably discussing Susan B. Anthony's role in American
history.
[Rasputin]
I am not in the least amused, Paul. Fury realizes there's no
count ... he turns referee White around ... the Crow's back up
... and NAILS Fury with a savate kick!!! He covers ... but Fury
quickly kicks out ... The Crystal Crow locking on the "Crow's
Talon" Oriental Spike, but Fury quickly twists out ... Crow with
a karate chop in response.
[Stone]
Yeah ... you'd better just sit here and let me beat on you next
time!!!
[Rasputin]
And he sends Fury out through the ropes the hard way!!!
[Stone]
As opposed to when the move a king-sized bed to ringside for you
to land on.
[Rasputin]
ANYWAY ... Jade Tiger coming behind Fury with that Kendo stick as
the Crystal Crow is being chewed out by referee White. FURY SEES
HIM ... AND /NAILS/ him with a forearm!!!
[Johnston]
A very good strategem, but performed far too early ... they
should wear down the Crow's opponents to the point where--
[Stone]
J.T. can easily sneak behind `em and brain them with that stick?
[Johnston]
A crude way of putting it ... but appropriate.
[Rasputin]
Fury rolls back in ... Crow approaches ... but Fury takes him
down with a toehold!!! Quick break ... both men up ... and the
Crow strikes first blood with a karate chop.
[Stone]
Actually, first blood was Fury clotheslining J.T. ... this is
sixth or seventh blood.
[Rasputin]
ANYWAY ... the Celestial Martial Artist grabs Fury's head ...
and SLAMS it to the mat.
[Stone]
But since it's that last blood that counts the most anyway, it's
all pretty irrelevant.
[Rasputin]
ANYWAY ... Fury again takes the crystal warrior down with a
toehold ... and moves into a leglace ... the Crystal Crow is
yelling in pain, as Fury seems intent on keeping that leg hurt.
[Johnston]
Perhaps not the most sound strategy ... though the legs are
required for the Crystal Crow's most devastating manuever -- the
"Tiger's Pounce" scissors piledriver -- at this stage in the
match, the Crow's hand attacks -- his karate chops and "Crow's
Talon" are far more dangerous ... he should probably focus on the
arm instead of the legs.
[Rasputin]
Crow twists out ... and Jack must have heard you, as he switches
to a hammerlock ... it doesn't last, though ... Fury up and to
the ropes -- only to get NAILED with a martial arts kick from the
ground from the Crow!!! Double irish whip ... Fury drops him
AGAIN with a clothesline!!! Goes down to the ground ... but the
Celestial Martial Artist stuns him with a karate chop!!! Double
irish whip ... dropkick by the Crow!!! He hammer throws Fury to
the ropes ... Tiger's Pounce ... CONNECTS!!! 1 ... 2 ... FURY
KICKS OUT!!! JACK FURY KICKS OUT OF THE TIGER'S POUNCE!!!
[Johnston]
That can /NOT/ please the Jade Tiger ... one must wonder how many
more tricks they have up their sleeves ...
[Rasputin]
The Crow pulls Fury up ... but Fury grounds him with a forearm!!!
Irish whip ... clotheslines Crystal Crow down again!!! He drags
the Crow to the corner ... and IMPLANTS his head on the
turnbuckle ... 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 4 ... Jade Tiger on the apron
... Jack Fury runs by him ... FOREARMS him off ... SAVATE KICK TO
THE BACK OF THE DISTRACTED JACK FURY'S NECK BY THE CRYSTAL CROW!
[Stone]
Well, those robes that Jade Tiger wears are pretty loose ...
looks like there's a whole buncha room for more tricks ...
[Rasputin]
Crystal Crow slaps on the Crow's Talon again ... I'm getting word
from the back that we have Chad Duncan there with Kelly Tucker
... Chad?
=================================================================
{We go to split-screen of Kelly Tucker getting on an ambulance
with "Spitfire" Peters. Chad Duncan stops her as she is getting
on.}
[Duncan]
I'm here at the ambulance with Kelly Tucker ... Kelly, what is
going through your mind right now, Ms. Tucker?
[Kelly Tucker]
Right now the thing that is going through my mind is if this
little man with a microphone doesn't get out of my way so
Spitfire can go to the hospital, I'm gonna make him. Now's not
the time to be getting a scoop on me, ok? Later.
{Kelly climbs into the back, and the door slam shut behind her,
as the ambulance takes off.}
[Duncan]
Ummm ... errrr ... umm ... back to you, Heather!!!
=================================================================
{Back to a normal screen, as Fury pries the Crystal Crow's hands
away.}
[Rasputin]
Fury loose, but the Crow responds with a chop to the neck ...
[Stone]
Ya know, I'm really starting to think it's better to just stay in
the Crow's Talon ...
[Rasputin]
Crystal Crow picks up Fury, who's clutching his neck in pain ...
irish whip into the corner ... Crystal Crow to the far side ...
handspring elbow ... CONNECTS!!!! Fury falls in a heap out of the
corner, as the Celestial Warrior covers ... 1 ... STRONG kickout
by Fury!!! Fury with a forearm as both men rise ... double hammer
throw ... clotheslines them down!!! Fury drags him up ... irish
whip into the corner ... Crystal Crow with another savate kick as
he bounces out!!! Covers ... but Fury kicks out before any
count!!!
[Johnston]
At this point, I find it hard to believe that Jack Fury is
working with /ANY/ sort of gameplan ... he is as fluent a
technician as he is a brawler, but he's not attempting to keep
the Crow grounded ... very disappointing.
[Rasputin]
Crystal Crow with another neck chop ... and Fury rolls on the
ground clutching his neck ... he has got to be in pain, here,
folks.
[Stone]
Well, I'd hardly call those chops a friendly massage.
[Rasputin]
Crow whips him into the ropes ... TIGER'S POUNCE TAKE TWO!!!
Crow covers ... 1 ... 2 ... FURY KICKS OUT AGAIN!!!!
[Johnston]
This does /NOT/ look good at all for the Crystal Crow ... the
Crow has no heavier artillery than the Tiger's Pounce ... and
it's quite apparent that the Pounce will not finish off Jack
Fury ...
[Rasputin]
Fury with a forearm as they rise ... Crystal Crow with a kick ...
FURY CATCHES HIS LEG ... CRYSTAL CROW WITH A BACK BRAIN KICK!!!
Very impressive manuever from the Tiger's protege ... Crow lifts
him ... tosses him outside again ... and referee White /REALLY/
in his face ...
[Stone]
I don't understand why ... if one's outside, and the other's
inside, it makes her job that much easier ...
[Rasputin]
Jade Tiger coming behind Fury ... OH MY GOD ... JADE TIGER JUST
BROKE THAT KENDO STICK ACROSS FURY'S NECK!!!
[Stone]
Ah ... so /THAT'S/ why referees don't like it when you toss
people out ... now it makes perfect sense.
[Rasputin]
I'm really concerned ... Fury's just clutching his neck ... he's
barely moving ... Jade Tiger lifts him up and rolls him in ...
referee White never saw a thing ... Crystal Crow with the cover
... 1 ... This is a travesty ... 2 .... WE HAVE A NEW NORTH
AMERICAN CHAMPION!!!
[Kinsman]
The winner of the match ... at a time of nine minutes and
forty-six seconds ... and NEW AWI NORTH AMERICAN HEAVYHEIGHT
CHAMPION ... THE CRYSTAL CROW!!!
[Rasputin]
This is a travesty of justice ... and Fury's still holding his
neck ... folks, he is /BARELY/ moving ... this man is hurt ...
We're out of time, folks ... for the whole crew of the AWI, I'm
Heather Rasputin, saying goodnight ...
{End with split screen of EMT's putting Jack Fury on a stretcher,
and a shot of Kelly Tucker getting into an ambulance with
"Spitfire" Peters.}
