{Open to a black screen, with the words "Last Week... on Explosion" at
the bottom.}
[Rasputin]
Piotr Young really in Hasegawa's face about these low blows ... a
solid kick to the chest takes the big man down ... Hasegawa lifts him
... but Mischief clotheslines him down!!! HARD bodyslam by Mischief ...
and another!!! Mischief with the standing head scissors ... but Robbie
jumps on the apron, and is taunting the Canadian muscleman!!!
[Johnston]
Perhaps he is looking for someone else to add to his list of victims to
the "Wicked Awesome SuperKick".
[Stone]
It says bad things about our sport that there even /IS/ a list of
victims to the Wicked Awesome Superkick.
[Rasputin]
It's pretty irrelevant, as Michief breaks the hold ... swings a
forearm at Stevens, who ducks ... HASEGAWA FROM BEHIND ... HANDSPRING
BUTT BUMP ... MISCHIEF'S OUT THE WAY ... HE KNOCKS STEVENS BACK DOWN TO
THE FLOOR!!!!
[Stone]
Yup -- Robbie certainly got the rear end of that deal.
[Rasputin]
Hasegawa looks shocked ... Mischief nails him with a kick to the gut ...
bodysl-- Hasegawa flips behind ... AND LANDS ON PIOTR YOUNG!!!
[Stone]
Just as Robbie's getting back up ... now isn't that a coincidence.
[Rasputin]
Robbie's back in the ring now, as the referee is downed ... Hasegawa
with ANOTHER low blow as Mischief presses the attack ... now Robbie's
in front with Hasegawa behind Mischief ... ROBBIE WITH THE WICKED
AWESOME SUPERKICK AS HASEGAWA COMES WITH A KICK FROM BEHIND ...
MISCHIEF'S OUT OF THE WAY!!! Robbie misses everything ... but Hasegawa
NAILS Stevens with that kick!!! Mischief rolls out of the ring!!! He
looks disgusted, and he's LEAVING!!!
[Stone]
Hasegawa helps his boss to his feet ... who, of course, doesn't
hesitate to help revive Piotr Young to make the countout.
[Rasputin]
Indeed ... it would seem the Mischief has decided he's had enough of
this match ... and he's counted out!!!
[Kinsman]
The winner of the match ... as a result of a COUNTOUT ... TOSHIAKI
HASEGAWA!!!
[Rasputin]
Robbie and Hasegawa celebrate their way into the back ... all in
all, a good day for Team Stevens, and, without a doubt, one of
the STRANGEST shows we've had yet...
======================================================================
{Fade to a close-up on a wrestling ring in an empty arena; in the ring

09: Crystal Crow performs a "Tiger's Pounce" on Jack Fury

{Open up to the Pond in Anaheim, California, and a packed house of
screaming fans, and, as always, the tandem of Paul Stone, Heather
Rasputin, and "The Mastermind" Alliyah Johnston.}
[Rasputin]
HELLLLLLO CALIFORNIA!!! And welcome to AWI Explosion!!! I'm your host,
Heather Rasputin, and we have an incredible night of action for you
tonight!!!
[Stone]
Which is good, because we'd be out of our jobs otherwise, and the
world does not need another out of work comedian.
[Rasputin]
In action tonght, we'll see Dream Succubus begin preparation for
Devil Maruyama's Tokyo Street Fight match at Spring Stampede!!!
[Johnston]
More specifically, I believe we shall see a show of force ... a
"vulgar display of power", if you will. Tonight, Devil Maruyama will
show Ms. Blackthorne exactly what sort of mistake she made in
accepting that challenge.
[Rasputin]
We'll also see "Mr. Universe" Jack Robertson, as well as two of the
more enigmatic AWI figures, as Sarah Victory and Justice will also be
in action!!!
[Johnston]
Both of these people have the entire AWI guessing upon the nature of
their motivations ... and it is not a far guess to say that those
self-same people will still have questions after today.
[Rasputin]
In a match with serious rankings implications, the Mississippi Queen
takes on Jessica Perkins of Team Stevens, and the Honor Guard makes
their return to the AWI to challenge the rising team of Boot Hill!!!
[Stone]
The only rising Boot Hill's been making is a rise up the psycho list!
Glenn Turner's doing all right, but, let's be honest, T.C. Jurgens does
NOT have it all ... but, given the family tree, that's not very
surprising.
[Rasputin]
Also, one of the HOTTEST superstars in the AWI, "Canadian Sensation"
Chris Sim, takes on a man that is /ALWAYS/ at the center of
controversy, Rictor Showtime!
[Stone]
But, most importantly, if you want to see title matches, WE HAVE
TITLE MATCHES!!!
[Rasputin]
That's right, as "The Hardliner" Jason Wrath will get his shot at the
current Television champion, Toshiaki "Smilin' Joey" Hasegawa, and
"El Scorpion" Carlos Mendoza gets his shot at a man that's been a real
thorn in his side, The Crystal Crow ... with the AWI North American
title at stake!!! I'm getting word that we need to go to Chad Duncan
in the back ... Chad?
======================================================================
{Switch to Chad Duncan, in the locker room area}
[Duncan]
Thanks Heather. I've been told that Sarah Victory has just entered the
building. I'll try to see if I can get a word or two with her.
{Camera turns to show Sarah Victory joining the announcer, dressed in
street clothes.}
[Duncan]
Ms. Victory ... even with a very sporadic schedule, the AWI has not
seen a lot of you as of late ...
[Sarah Victory]
No kidding.
[Duncan]
What have you been doing--
[Victory]
That's none of your concern. What should concern you, or more
appropriatly, concern the other women here is the fact that I'm back.
'Blue Ribbon' Dorothy Gayle ... or should I call you 'Blue streak' the
way you run your mouth? You are first on the list.
[Duncan]
What do you mean by "first on the list"?
{Sara ignores his question and turns and walks toward the exit.}
[Duncan]
I guess we'll find out later. Folks, Sarah Victory is back, and many
people, especially Dorothy Gayle, will have to take notice ... back to
you Heather!
======================================================================
{Return to the ring, where, the Green and Pink Bombers are waiting in
the ring.}
[Alan Kinsman]
Our first contest is for one fall, with a ten minute time limit ...
our first competitors ... already in the ring ... the Bomb Squad!!!
Their opponents ... hailing from Tokyo, Japan ... at a total combined
weight of four hundred and five pounds ... DEVIL MARAYUMA ... AND
DEMONESS KIMURA -- DREAM SUCCUBUS!!!!
{"Devil Inside" by INXS kicks in, as the Japanese powerhouse duo begin
to make their way towards the ring, and the fan boos begin to mount.}
Your referee is Shawntell White.
[Rasputin]
Devil Marayuma to start in a bit of a tune-up match for Marayuma's
Spring Stampede battle with "The RingMaster" Dacia Blackthorne ... and
Marayuma explodes on the Pink Bomber with karate chops! She hoists her
up ... HARD PRESS SLAM by the Tokyo powerhouse!!!! And she locks on a
claw on the hapless Pink Bomber--
[Johnston]
I should correct you on one aspect of the above ... "The CameraHog" is
not very likely to approach this match without her bodyguard, and I
would doubt that Demoness Kimura would allow her partner to be jumped
by O'Malley.
[Stone]
JUMPED?!?!
[Johnston]
So, the odds vastly indicate a tag team affair of some sort at Spring
Stampede.
[Rasputin]
Devil Marayuma lifting the Pink Bomber up in that claw ... CLAW SLAM
by Devil Marayuma!!! The Pink Bomber is laid out ... and Marayuma
grabs the Green Bomber with a claw!!!! Drags her over the top rope ...
CLAW SLAM ON THE GREEN BOMBER!!! She covers them both ... 1 ... 2 ...
3!!!
{"Devil Inside" by INXS kicks up again, as Dream Succubus has their
hands raised.}
[Kinsman]
The winners of this match ... DEVIL MARAYUMA ... AND DEMONESS KIMURA
... DREAM SUCCUBUS!!!!!
[Stone]
Ummm... did Kimura even enter the ring?
[Rasputin]
No, she didn't -- as Devil Marayuma proves just hom much of a
challenge Dacia Blackthorne will face at Spring Stampede.
[Johnston]
Provided "J.C." Blackthorne does not entice her bodyguard to enter
into the situation.
[Stone]
"J.C."?
[Johnston]
Jenny Craig.
[Stone]
Leave the jokes to the professionals, Alliyah.
[Rasputin]
On a much more interesting note, let's go to Chad Duncan, already in
the ring.
======================================================================
{Cut to the ring.}
[Duncan]
It is my pleasure to introduce Rich Greenspear and Sam Richards ...
the Honor Guard!
{A spirited drum cadence heralds the entry of the Honor Guard down
the aisle to a solid crowd pop, though not the reactions they would
have normally gotten.}
[Duncan]
First of all, Rich: condolences on the loss of your mother. For those
of you that didn't know, Rich lost his mother recently, and has been
away taking take of family business.
[Rich]
Danke, Chad. I got some nice cards from fans, and I thank them for the
thought.
[Duncan]
So, what is up next for you two?
[Sam]
We've been gone for awhile, so it is necessary for us to prove that we
are the same team we were 5 months ago. Thankfully we're back to being
just the two of us, back to the basics without any baggage like Robbie
Stevens.
[Duncan]
Do you have any plans for Spring Stampede?
[Sam]
I'll tell ya something. We've decided to take things one step at a
time. We've got a match against Boot Hill coming up, and every effort
needs to be focused on them. What happens afterward will happen then.
There ain't no way you can overlook a team the quality of Boot Hill.
[Duncan]
Rumor is another Intensive Care/Honor Guard match is on the horizon.
Any truth to this?
[Rich]
Why bother?
[Sam]
I don't want to sound pompous with this, but Rich is exactly right. We
have NOTHING to prove to Intensive Care anymore. We're the ones that
they have lost to three times. We proved our point a long time ago who
the better team is. Just because they have two belts around their
waists really doesn't mean anything to us, 'cause we're not the ones
that has to live with the fact that they've never beaten us. I heard
Lupo say a while ago that he was tired of us being around during our
matches, and tired of us trying to get a reputation by using them.
[Rich]
Sorry. Already done.
[Sam]
Sounds like Dr. Lupo is making excuses. I-C will come along when they
are ready to face their past, but we certainly won't be holding our
breath for them. There's plenty of quality teams that we'd like to
face: Boot Hill, the Warbirds, Painkeep, and the Toxic Twins.
[Rich]
... and Robbie.
[Sam]
{chuckles} Oh, yeah ... we haven't forgotten little boy Robbie. Not by
a long shot.
[Duncan]
{Laughs} I think it's hard to forget ... {A flow of boos comes out}
and I think we're about to have company.
{Mike Kirwan approaches from the back ... all by his lonesome, wearing
a pair of jeans, boots, and carrying his tag title belt. He takes the
mic upon his arrival.}
[Mike Kirwan]
Honor Guard ... you have earned the Syndicate's respect in the past
... you were not afraid to face us, and you callenged us like men. You
have also earned the respect of my partner and myself ... this is why
we have not left you crippled for life. Right now you are trying to
goad us into giving you a title shot ... title shots are /EARNED/, not
given. You two have not been active in a few months ... prove you
still have what it takes, and the title shot will be yours. Do /NOT/
provoke us again, as you tried to do here ... for you will not like
the results.
{Kirwan tosses the announcer the microphone and walks off.}
[Rich]
{as Kirwan is walking off} And I suppose beating you two three times
isn't earning anything, huh?
[Sam]
No, no ... let him walk off. We're not trying to GOAD you into
anything. We're just wanting what we deserve. Hey, KIRWAN!!! You
don't want to give us a title match, hey, you're the champs. Let's
make it non-title. For nothing but respect. The only thing is, and
this is the catcher:
We're still pretty pis--um, UPSET at that punk Robertson for
everything he's done to friends of ours. SOOOO, if we win, in leiu of
you giving us that title match, INSTEAD OF THAT, you and your buddies
in the Syndicate agree to lock little Robertson in a cage with any one
person that decides to show up, whether it be Danny Boy, War Machine,
Mist Angel ... WHOEVER, and let him fend for himself for once in his
miserable life.
If you guys win, we'll ... {looks at Rich} you can make a stipulation,
whatever you want. What do you say, Kirwan?
{Mike Kirwan walks back, takes the mic, pauses in thought for a
second.}
[Kirwan]
Apparently I have over-estimated the two of you. You want a match with
us -- you've got it. We beat you, you owe us. You beat us ... fine --
you want Mr. Robertson in a cage, he's all yours.
{Mike Kirwan walks off, to a VERY shocked crowd)
[Rasputin]
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS!!! Fans, we have to cut to commercial ... WE'LL
BE RIGHT BACK!!!
{Fade out as we see slight smiles on the faces of the Honor Guard.}
======================================================================
COMMERCIALS
======================================================================
{Fade back to the ring, where referee Charles Watson and preliminary
wrestler Samantha Walters are already, as "Control" by Traci Lords
blares over the loudspeakers, and Sarah Victory comes down to an
ever-increasing amount of fan boos. In addition to her normal attire,
she wears a black leather jacket.}
[Rasputin]
Sarah Victory now coming out after having some /VERY/ harsh words for
Dorothy Gayle ... she tosses her jacket to referee Charles Watson ...
WHAT THE?!?! She just CLUBBED Walters with those nunchuku as Watson
gives her jacket to the ring attendent!!!
[Johnston]
An excellent manuever ... one should accept any oppurtunity to gain a
strategic advantage.
[Stone]
So you'd agree if Blackthorne had O'Malley jump Devil Marayuma?
[Johnston]
I would never agree with anything the CameraHog does ... that is
fearful merely in thought.
[Rasputin]
Victory tosses those nunchuku outside as referee Watson turns around.
She plants the near unconscious Samantha Walters in the corner ...
roundhouse kick! Roundhouse kick! Back Kick!!! Walters falls out the
corner ... and she stuffs her right back in!!!
[Johnston]
I believe it is safe to say that this has ceased being a competitive
contest and begun being a work-out for Sarah Victory.
[Rasputin]
Repeated kicks to the abdomen by Victory ... and finishes with a
jumping roundhouse to the face!!! Walters goes down in a heap ...
Victory picks her up ... stands her up in the middle of the ring ...
JUMPING SIDE KICK FLOORS WALTERS ... and there's the AXE KICK! This one
was over before it got started!!! 1 ... 2 ... 3!!!!
[Kinsman]
The winner of this match... SARAH VICTORY!!!
{Victory then snatches the microphone from Alan Kinsman.}
[Victory]
DOROTHY GAYLE!!! You hear me, Blue Streak??? You want a piece of me?
Come get some!!!!!
[Rasputin]: Sarah Victory knows full well that Dorothy Gayle
is not in the arena tonight!!!
[Stone]: Sounds like the perfect time to call someone out
to me!!!
{Victory waits a few moments, until there are sufficient crowd boos.}
[Victory]
Blue Streak?? What's wrong? Got a yellow streak too?!?!
{She then tosses the microphone down, and leaves the ring smiling.}
[Rasputin]
I think Dorothy Gayle will definitely have something to say about
this, and very soon ... and speaking of having something to say ...
let's go to the words of two individuals we'll see in action tonight:
the Jade Tiger, and the Crystal Crow.
======================================================================
{Jade Tiger stands proud with the North American Belt draped over his
left shoulder, his immaculate jade colored robe contrasting nicely
with the shining gold belt. Crystal Crow is seen in the background
performing a martial arts kata in a near trance-like state.}
[Jade Tiger]
So, the committee has seen fit to offer up Juan Valdez to my student.
Dirt farmer Mendoza, pride of the fly infested barrios in Mexico,
come prepared to meet your superior. Be sure to leave that tired old
mule of a mentor tied to a sturdy tree back home, for you see --- the
Tiger is hungry! HA HA HA!!!
Everytime I look into the eyes of the children, I see a tear and that
excites me. They are learning a valuable lesson, accept your
inferiority to a superior opponent. With blind hope comes tragic
disappointment ... an emotion you will learn to embrace, Mendoza.
======================================================================
{Open up to Trinity Saunders, in the locker room area with "Mr.
Universe" Jack Robertson.}
[Trinity Saunders]
I'm here with a man that's under alot of pressure as of late,
"Mr. Universe" Jack Robertson. Jack, given the slightly ambiguous
nature of your former manager, Paul Hubert, and the constant
comparisons between yourself and your brother, where do you go from
here?
[Jack Robertson]
Yeah, well, I was hoping to avoid this, but evidently it won't be
avoidable. Yeah, I'm getting a bit annoyed by the pressure put on me
and I'm not sure its worth it. All I hear is John-this, John-that.
When I lose a match its {mock Heather Rasputin voice} "Jack must be
discouraged by his lack of success with his brother doing so well",
when I call my parents its {what is assumably a mock-father voice}
"Why aren't you doing as well as John, Jack?", when I go out to a bar
or whatever its {mock in awe voice} "Look, its the brother of John
Robertson!". Quite frankly I'm getting sick of it.
I'm not John. I haven't had his immediate success, nor do I have the
amateur background or academic ability he has. However, he is not me.
He didn't go to college. He didn't play baseball. He could never take
me in a fight when we were kids. And he didn't survive in the 11th
hour match.
[Saunders]
So, is this match the beginning of the "new" Jack Robertson?
[Jack]
I'm basicaly looking to essentially start over. Most people enter the
fed with a match against one of these sub-par type of guys. I haven't
had much success here ... the only matches I've won being my initial
match and the one at last year's Knock Around the Clock, so I figured
maybe if I went out, won this match, I could get myself back on the
right track and stop having to hear about John all the time. I guess
we'll see, won't we?
{He gives Trinity a quick smile and wink, which brings a smile to
her face, and leaves.}
[Saunders]
There you have it. The first day of the rest of the life of Mr.
Universe ... back to you, Heather!
======================================================================
{Fade back to the ring, where Chad Swayze stands in the ring.}
[AK]
The following contest is for one fall, with a ten-minute time limit
... already in the ring: CHAD SWAYZE!!! His opponent hails from
Sweetwater, Texas ... he stands six feet, eight inches, and weighs in
at two-hundred eighty-three pounds ... he is ... "MR. UNIVERSE" JACK
ROBERTSON!!!
{"This Is How We Do It" by Montell Jordan kicks in, as Robertson comes
down to ringside, absorbing a fair amount of adulation ...
particularly from the female fans.}
[Rasputin]
A seemingly-revigorated Jack Robertson set to start against Chad
Swayze ... collar-and-elbow tie-up ... standing dropkick by Jack
Robertson!!! A couple of forearms staggers Swayze ... and a savate
kick floors him!!!
[Johnston]
I have to doubt the wisdom of a "start over" match with one such as
Mr. Swayze. Jack has to rise to the level of the current competition
in the AWI ... not sink to level of mediocrity he's currently at.
[Rasputin]
Robertson drags Swayze into the corner ... and sends repeated kicks to
Swayze's chest!!! Swayze staggers out ... A BULLDOG TAKES HIM DOWN!!!!
I have /NEVER/ seen Jack Robertson look this good ... he stops and
gives a /WELL RECEIVED/ pose ... SWAYZE FROM BEHIND WITH A SMALL
PACKAGE!!!! 1 ... 2 ... HE GOT HIM!!!! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!!
[Kinsman]
The winner of this match... CHAD SWAYZE!!!
[Rasputin]
Jack Robertson is in SHOCK!!! Chad Swayze is in SHOCK!!! The crowd is
in SHOCK!!!
[Stone]
Hell, my Aunt Claire that doesn't even watch wrestling is probably in
shock!!!!
[Rasputin]
Jack Robertson is darn near in tears... this has been a shocking
beginning... and we're only three matches in!!! Fans, we have to go to
commercial -- we'll be right back!!!
======================================================================
{The scene of a baby playfully pawing at the air as she lies on her
back in a crib.}
[Voice over]: They are a joy to have, they are our future,
looking to us for guidance, love, and protection. We are
their heroes.
{The scene switches to a kitchen where a frantic mother is rushing
around haphazardly, a pot on the stove boils over, the phone rings,
the dog runs by nearly tripping her, and the baby in the high-chair
knocks a bowl to the floor. She angrily turns to grab for and scream
at the child. Freeze frame.}
[Voice over]: Stop and look what you're doing.
{The scene is a small livingroom, an exasperated man home from a
long day at work, finally collapses in front of the small television
set, beer in hand. He lights up a cigarette and finally gets to relax
after 12+ hours at the factory. Suddenly the wail of a child in the
nearby crib pierces the silence, irritating the man who angrily slams
the beer down and charges the child, picking him up viciously. Freeze
frame.}
[Voice over]: Stop and look what you're doing.
{A woman finishes decorating a cake, leaving it on the dining room
table while she completes clean-up of the arduous task. Her toddler
stumbles along grabbing and clinging to all obstacles with each shaky
step. Teetering, he clutches the table cloth sending the cake careening
to the floor, followed by howls and tears. The mother rushes in, pulls
back her hand, and prepares to strike. Freeze frame.}
{Cut to a children's emergency ward, tiny bodies hooked to machines
precariously hanging onto life. 'Babyface' Billy Gerber enters the
screen from the right and turns to the camera.}
[Gerber]
The next time you feel like taking out your anger on a child -- stop
and look what you're doing. If you have a need to hit a babyface,
then you know where to find me. It takes a grown-up to control their
temper. It is never OK to hit a child.
: This PSA brought to you by the FWA, making a
difference in our world.
======================================================================
{Open back to the ring, where "Blue Chip" Bill Kane and referee Curtis
Keyes are standing.}
[Kinsman]
The following match is for one fall, with a ten minute time limit ...
already in the ring, "Blue Chip" Billy Kale!!! His opponent hails from
Grand Forks, North Dakota ... stands six feet, one inch, and weighs two
hundred fifty pounds ... he is ... JUSTICE!!!
{"It's a Mad World" by Tom Cochrane kicks in, as Justice comes out to a
fierce crowd pop ... he doesn't acknowledge this, or the fans, at all,
instead choosing to focus on the ring.}
Your referee is Curtis Keyes.
[Rasputin]
Justice, a man at the center of a /LOT/ of controversy, makes his way to
the ring to face AWI newcomer "Blue Chip" Billy Kale ... Justice rolls
into the ring -- and /IMMEDIATELY/ begins to unload with forearms on the
youngster!!! He whips him in -- CLOTHESLINE takes Kale down ... and
Justice now jumos on him ... headbutts him ... and continues to unload
with forearms!
[Johnston]
Justice has had quite a bit to be frustrated about in recent weeks ...
he's had to deal with losses to Donovan Proshevein ... Crystal Crow ...
Ken Mischief ... the list goes on and on ... and it would appear that
young Bill Kale will take the brunt of his sorrows.
[Rasputin]
Indeed -- as Justice picks up the Blue Chip ... Kale with a savate kick
from nowhere!!! He whips Justice in ... and hits a solid knee lift to
bring down the Enigmatic Protector ... we could be looking at another
upset ...
[Stone]
If it wasn't for that neckbreaker by Justice to take Kale down.
[Rasputin]
Indeed, Justice regains control with that neckbreaker ... and now
looks like he's REALLY mad. He drags the light-heavyweight to the
ropes ... and begins choking him on them!!!
[Johnston]
Perhaps this is the end of the "kinder, gentler, losing" Justice, and
the beginning of the--
[Stone]
"Beat the living hell out of them Justice".
[Johnston]
Crude, but effective.
[Rasputin]
Curtis Keyes now putting a five count of Justice, who breaks just
before five. Keyes getting in his face, and it's starting to look like
Justice is going to hit HIM. Justice stands over the near-limp Billy
Kale -- AND HE LOCKS ON THE "SUMMONS" Boston Crab!!!! Kale QUICKLY
gives up ... but JUSTICE REFUSES TO LET GO OF THE SUMMONS!!!! Curtis
Keyes is trying to get Justice to let go ... Kale's SCREAMING in pain
... but Justice WILL NOT let him out!!!! HERE COME "SUPERMAN" MIKE
PIERSALL AND "THE WAR MACHINE" GREG GARDNER!!! Piersall pulls Justice
off as Curtis Keyes checks on the young rookie ... Keyes calling for
some medical help as Justice pushes Piersall off of him ... Greg
Gardner has the microphone.
======================================================================
[Greg Gardner]
What's this, huh? WHAT IS THIS?!? Look at yourself -- take a /good/
look at yourself, and tell me this: where the hell is Justice?!?
Because I've been looking for him, and lately I don't see him
anywhere!
Justice is a man who stands for something ... a man with more guts
and more heart than all the Crows and PainKeeps and Bookthrowers of
the world put together. Is THAT {points to Billy Kale being helped
out by ring staff} ... is that what YOU stand for? Are you proud of
that?
[Justice]
{grabs the mic} You think you know me so well? I AM JUSTICE!!! And
that means what motivates me, what drives me is *far* beyond what you
can understand! I have fought this war my *whole* life and I have
*never* gone through what I am going through now! The AWI has
changed, and I am powerless to stop it. And maybe that means that it
is time for me to change. But don't EVER think that you understand
what drives me!
[Mike Piersall]
Understand? I think I understand. You have a couple bad breaks in a
row, and all of a sudden it seems like the lowlifes have declared
open season on you. The inmates are running amok and running the
asylum, the refs seem helpless stop it, and the "commissioner"
doesn't care. In short, you've devoted your life to justice, and
there doesn't seem to be any left in the AWI.
But that happens to ALL of us, J. It's called "gut-check" time. And
we can either come together and deal with it, or fall apart like a
Jenga set during an earthquake. That's why Greg and I are out here
now, buddy -- you're looking like a 6 on the Richter scale, and it's
time you remembered who your friends were.
[Justice]
I DON'T NEED FRIENDS AND I NEVER HAVE!!! I AM JUSTICE!!! If what I am
can't change my path, then having friends won't do a damn thing for
me! Justice walks alone!
[Gardner]
You might be right ... but that's gotta change. And right now, YOU've
gotta change. We walk a line in this business, every day and every
second in the ring ... it's the line between those people who step
inside the square circle to be the best man they can be, and those who
just want a win. You make that choice every night, the choice between
what IS important, and what LOOKS important. Justice is a man who knows
all about that choice; Justice might take a notch in the "L" column
here and there, but he's never been BEATEN. But if you let the lowlifes
push you across that line, they win -- for GOOD. You hear me?
[Rasputin]
There's some serious tension in the ring right now ... Justice stares
at Gardner ... he stares at Piersall ... JUSTICE LAYS OUT THE WAR
MACHINE WITH A PUNCH!!!! He caught Gardner totally flat-footed with
that!!! He throws a couple at Piersall, who fires back ... Gardner's
back up, and Justice rolls out of the ring.
[Johnston]
What else should he do? He was both out-weighed and out-numbered in
this scenario.
[Rasputin]
Justice looks disgusted ... he's headed back to the locker room ...
and Mike Piersall and Greg Gardner are unsure what to do now ...
fans, we have to go to commercial ... we'll be right back!!!

{As the camera approaches the locker room area, a furious Jason Wrath
can be heard shouting at someone. As the camera reaches the doorway,
Wrath is on the phone shouting at the top of his lungs to someone
about his upcoming T.V. Title match. As Wrath notices the camera he
hangs up and turns towards the camera. He is definitely NOT in the
best of moods.}
[Jason Wrath]
This is the most pathetic piece of crap I've ever seen in my entire
life. First that coward James dumps the belt off to some lowlife
nobody so he doesn't have to face me, and then off all things I get
knocked back a week so Ken Mischief can get a title shot. /ME/ of all
people getting knocked back, so the belt that is /SUPPOSED/ to be
mine can get defended by some halfwit against another halfwit.
{Wrath takes his celluar phone and flings it across the room smashing
it into the far wall.}
[Wrath]
Who in the hell runs this federation anyways!? Man I swear! First the
Light Heavy belt gets ripped from in front of me, and now the same
thing is happening with the T.V. belt! How in the hell do these
bookers determine who get shots in the first place? Randomly draw
straws? Who can beg the most? Who kisses the most {beep}? I see now
that I'm gonna have to start making /EVERYBODY/ in this gig realize
that Jason Wrath is the wrong man to screw with! Whether it's the
Light Heavyweight or the T.V. Title, you punks are gonna find out that
Jason Wrath is the bottom line in the AWI. And it looks like you're
gonna find out 'The Hard Way'! I'm outta here!"
{Wrath storms past the camera crew, pushing the camera against the
wall as he passes, and heads for the ring.}
======================================================================
{Cut to the locker room where Robbie Stevens, Toshiaki Hasegawa, Scott
"Tank" Bradley and Jessica Perkins are standing by.}
[Robbie]
You know, last week, it didn't surprise me what happened. I'm in that
ring, beating Chris Sim within an inch of his life ... and then Carlos
Mendoza, Crystal Crow, PainKeep and Cross Body all show up at ringside.
I don't blame them. After all, Robbie Stevens does draw all the TV
Ratings for AWI, if you want to be seen ... you've gotta be there when
Robbie is.
Well folks, just a little advice -- you want TV time, you can stand
quietly at ringside and hold up signs cheering me on. Don't cost me TV
time by jumping in the ring. It's not appreciated. Because of you guys,
Chris Sim missed his chance to be the first Canadian Wicked Awesome
Super Kicked into space. Sim, don't think you've escaped the most
feared foot in wrestling, because I gotta bunion with your name on it!
Now, with all that aside let's move on to this week. We've got
"Hardliner" Jason Wrath. Jason, perhaps you should do what Ken Mischief
did. Show up, discover you're overmatched and then just hit the bricks.
[Hasegawa]
{checking his hair in the reflection of the TV Title belt before
turning to the camera} Sensei, I have to disagree with you here ... I
/WANT/ Wrath to stay in the match. If he leaves too early, my TV time
will be cut in half, and that's not just right. So, Hardliner-san,
forget that, in additon to being the best dressed guy in the AWI, I'm
a pretty damn good wrestler too. {goes back to checking his hair} Damn
I'm smooth.
[Robbie]
Then we move onto Jess' opponent, the Mississippi Queen. I don't
really feel like running her down. See, it's obvious she's patterned
herself after one person: ME! She's trying to be the top female
manager/wrestler/interviewee just like good ol' Robbie S. She's even
got that Robbie Stevens wannabe Kerry Masters in her stable in the FWA.
But Queen ... I'm a smarter manager, I'm a better wrestler, I give a
better interview and if I was a woman, I'd be hotter looking. There can
only be one true master of the world of wrestling, and his name is
Robbie Stevens. And since there can only be one -- Jessica, I want you
to take her head off.
[Perkins]
{playing with her Barbie doll, as always} I remember the Homecoming
Queens from school ... always with their noses in the air, talking
behind people's backs ... they were always the popular ones, everyone
loved the Homecoming queens ... tonight the Queen gets treated like
the queens did years ago, even before school ... /OFF WITH HER HEAD/!
[Robbie]
{Back away from Jess} Now, some of you are probably wondering why the
big man is here ...
[Tank]
{cutting off Robbie} I'll tell you why I'm here. I'm sick and tired of
waiting around for matches. I see Stupidman Piersall wrestling
everyone in the federation before he decides to step in the ring with
the Tank. I don't blame you boy, because you know I've got the one
move that will end your career once and for all. Be a man Piersall,
stop putting everyone in line ahead of me. Face your certain
annihilation. Face the Tank and face the Nail in the Coffin. And War
Machine, don't think this is over.
[Robbie]
Yeah, if the Tank hadn't taken the Wicked Awesome Super Kick, he would
have pinned you right then and there ... {Tank grabs Robbie by the back
of the neck}
[Tank]
I've been meaning to talk to you about that ...
[Robbie]
Tank ... buddy ... pal ... I-I-I-- it was an accident. You know, my
foot is like a force of nature ... it's like a lightning bolt ... like
an earthquake. I don't know sometimes where it's gonna strike next ...
I can barely control it sometimes -- but it won't happen again ... I
promise!
[Tank]
It better not! War Machine, keep looking over your shoulder, because
you haven't seen the last of me. And anybody else who wants some of
this, come get some.
[Fade out.]

Our next attraction is for one fall, with a ten minute time limit ...
our first competitor stands five feet, eight inches, and weighs in at
one hundred forty-four pounds ... she hails from Portland, Oregon ...
led to the ring by her manager, ROBBIE STEVENS ... she is ... JESSICA
PERKINS!!!!
{"Just A Girl" by No Doubt kicks in, as do crowd boos, as Robbie leads
his baby-doll dressed minion to ringside, stroking her Barbie doll all
the way.}
[Stone]: I wonder if Mattel is happy with the "free advertising"
Perkins is giving them?
[Kinsman]
Her opponent ... also at five feet, eight inches, weighing in at one
hundred forty-eight pounds ... she hails from Colombus, Mississippi ...
she is ... THE MISSISSIPPI QUEEN!!!!
{"Mississippi Queen" by Mountain replaces No Doubt, and the fans
are already up cheering the auburn-haired beauty.}
Your referee is Shawntell White
[Rasputin]
Both women in the ring in an important match in an ever-competitive
women's division ... Mississippi Queen offering a handshake to
Jessica Perkins ... Perkins looks at it ... she's accepted her hand!!!
[Stone]
This can't be the same--
[Rasputin]
PERKINS NOW BITING THE MISSISSIPPI QUEEN'S HAND!!!!!
[Stone]
Whew! My faith in reality is restored.
[Rasputin]
Perkins with a kick to the gut ... she grabs the Queen ... MQ with a
small package!!! Robbie's on the apron and Shawntell White has to get
him down. Perkins biting the Queen's forehead now!!! Queen pushes her
off ... rake to the eyes by Perkins as both women rise to their feet
... Perkins lif-- no, Queen hooks the leg ... into another small
package ... 1 ... and Robbie again on the apron to give his protege
time to kick out!!!
[Johnston]
I'm very impressed with the methods of the Mississippi Queen ... odds
highly oppose her if this match extends for a long period of time, so
it is to her advantage to end the contest as early as possible.
[Rasputin]
Both women scramble to their feet ... Perkins grabs the neck of the
Queen and chokes away ... DDT by the Pride of Mississippi!!! Double
irish whip ... PERKINS WITH A BODYPRESS!!! 1 ... and the Queen kicks
out!!!
[Stone]
Man, she's getting better! She got her first real wrestling manuever
in before the three minute mark! That's gotta be a new record!
[Rasputin]
Perkins with a solid punch to the face on the Queen. Perkins is up
... Queen with a drop toehold to get her off her feet ... another
double irish whip ... the Queen with a Thesz press!!!! 1 ... and
AGAIN Robbie on the apron to get White's attention!!!
[Stone]
Which, of course, is something new for Robbie, since he's not used
to getting women's attention -- outside of being slapped in the face,
anyway.
[Rasputin]
Queen with a forearm uppercut as the women make it to their feet ...
neckbreaker takes down the Disturbed One ... the Queen with a camel
clutch ... a bit too close to the ropes, though, as Perkins reaches
them!!!
[Johnston]
Another excellent strategem ... if the Queen keeps Perkins tied up--
[Stone]
Jessie P. can't brain her with the ringside furniture?
[Johnston]
You are learning quickly, Paul.
[Rasputin]
Queen with a dropkick as both women rise ... she heads to the outside
... Perkins staggers up ... ROBBIE GRABS MISSISSIPPI QUEEN'S LEG!!!
The Queen tries to kick him off ... AND A KICK TO THE GUT SENDS HER
OFF THE APRON TO THE FLOOR!!!!
[Stone]
Whup. Nice knowin' ya. Hope your brothers are here to clean up the
mess...
[Rasputin]
Perkins heads to the outside ... she picks up a chair as Robbie
interposes himself between Shawntell White and the wrestlers ...
Perkins swings ... the Queen dodges ... MASSIVE DDT ON THE RINGSIDE
FLOOR!!!
[Stone]
That just extended her lifespan about ... oooo ... how much more time
is there in this match?
[Rasputin]
The Queen rolls Jessica back in ... Queen on the apron ... SPRINGBOARD
SUNSET FLI-- JESSICA MOVES INTO IT ... MASSIVE COLLISION!!!! BOTH
WOMEN ARE DOWN!!!!
[Stone]
That wouldn't exactly have been a highly technical counter, huh?
[Rasputin]
I don't think I'd call it a coun-- SARAH VICTORY IS MAKING HER WAY
DOWN THE AISLE!!!
[Stone]
Just run, Queen. They set you up. Escape now while you have the chance.
[Rasputin]
Victory just standing in the aisle right now ... Robbie turns his
attention to her as both women in the ring struggle to return to their
feet. Did she just wink at Robbie? I think she did?!?!
[Stone]
High amounts of martial arts skill ... low amounts of taste.
[Rasputin]
Perkins up first ... she grabs the Queen to lift her up ... Queen
WITH THE SMALL PACKAGE!!! 1 ... Perkins kicks out ... AND ROBBIE'S
STILL FIXATED ON VICTORY!!!
[Stone]
Actually, I think he's fixated on even the slightest prospect of
losing his vir--
[Rasputin]
ANYWAY!!! The Queen with a HARD forearm uppercut on Perkins ... Queen
to the outside ... SPRINGBOARD SUNSET FLIP!!! That got Robbie's
attention, as he scrambles to the apron ... 1 ... 2 ... and White gets
him off, giving Perkins time to kick out!!!
[Stone]
Man, you're losing cool points already -- not a good opener.
[Rasputin]
The Queen with another forearm uppercut ... followed by a DDT!!!
Mississippi Queen in control now ... she heads to the ring apron again
... Robbie pins her leg to the apron saying "I got it" to Victory ...
AND PERKINS KICKS THE QUEEN OFF AGAIN!!!
[Stone]
Uh oh ... he's got his cool points back ... we may get an answer to
that eternal question: "Who'll score first -- Robbie or Butthead?"
[Rasputin]
ANYWAY ... Perkins runs to the opposite side ... runs back ... PLANCHA
DIVE ON THE MISSISSIPPI QUEEN!!! The Queen is hurt ... and Jessica's
noticed Victory!!! Jessica stares at Robbie ...
[Stone]
Who cowers away like any good little boy would do.
[Rasputin]
AND PERKINS GETS RIGHT IN VICTORY'S FACE!!! WE HAVE A MAJOR STAREDOWN
GOING ... Perkins turns around ... SHE GRABS A CHAIR!!! Victory
reaching behind for her nunchucku ... PERKINS BLASTS AT THE QUEEN
WITH THAT CHAIR -- WHO DODGES IT!!! Queen with a forearm to make her
drop the chair ... rolls both of them in the ring ... FRONT FACE
NECKBREAKER takes Perkins down hard!!! Queen onto the apron ... "REBEL
ROUSER" SPRINGBOARD BULLDOG!!! 1 ... 2 ... AND ROBBIE MOVES PERKINS'
FOOT ON THE ROPES!!!
[Stone]
He'd better, unless he wants to be like that Barbie doll. Then again,
the way Perkins was looking at Victory, Robbie's fate may already be
sealed anyway.
[Rasputin]
Queen with a forearm as both women rise ... Jessica Perkins goes to
the eyes ... double irish whip ... RUNNING BOOT BY PERK-- LEAPFROGGED
BY MISSISSIPPI QUEEN!!! Both bounce off ... NECKBREAKER BY THE QUEEN
ON THE RETURN PASS!!! She's back to the apron ... REBEL ROUSER #2!!!
She covers ... 1 ... 2 ... 3!!!!!!
[Kinsman]
The winner of the match, at a time of 9:36 -- THE MISSISSIPPI QUEEN!!!
[Rasputin]
Robbie throws a chair in the ring as both women stagger up ... Perkins
has it -- and she's WAILING on the Mississippi Queen! HERE COMES THE
MISSISSIPPI MOB!!! The Mississippi Kid with a dropkick on Robbie as
Riverboat grabs the chair from Perkins ... Victory spins the Kid around
... FRONT SNAP KICK WITH THE SHIN GUARDS TO THE GROIN!!!! The Kid is
down!!! The Kid is hurt!!! The Kid--
[Stone]
Will never get a chance to fully enjoy puberty.
[Rasputin]
Sarah walks over to a dazed Robbie, and gives him a quick kiss on the
cheek and leaves ... Perkins realizes she's outgunned by Riverboat and
exits, grabbing a -- I don't know, lovesick? -- Robbie behind her ...
the Mississippi Kid is STILL down. Fans, we need to go to commercial

[Kinsman]
Our next contest is a tag...
{"God" by Rebecca St. James comes on and the fans turn their heads
confused towards the entrance way. They pop HUGE and the camera catches
sight of Danny Boy McGill walking through the curtains and then holding
them open for Miranda Wright. He walks down to the ring, a huge smile
on his face as a "DBM!! DBM!!" chant starts. He rolls into the ring
and holds the ropes open for Miranda to get into the ring. He then
reaches down between the ropes and grabs one of the mics and looks the
arena over.}
[Danny Boy McGill]
All right, all right, calm down now, I've got some stuff to get off my
chest. First of all, there are two things in this world I am not, a
liar or a thief! But right now, I'm being called both.
You see, people are claiming that I had been having an affair with Miss
Wright here, and THAT is the reason for the breakup between herself and
D.A. Bookthrower. Well, that is nothing but a rumor and bold faced LIE!
{The fans pop}
[Johnston]: I would expect any false-Christian to hide from the
truth ... perhaps we should rename him "The Pharisee" Danny Boy
McGill.
[Rasputin]: Alliyah ...
[Stone]: Why don't you ever tell her to shush like you tell me?
[McGill]
You see, if Miranda and I were having an affair, that would make me
both a liar and a thief. If I were having an affair with a married
woman, I would be guilty of fornication and adultery, which are both
serious sins I avoid because of my relationship with Jesus Christ.
I'm not saying I'm perfect. Only one perfect man ever walked this
earth, and he was nailed to a cross! But those two are huge sins I can
definately avoid, as they are fairly obvious. But if I was doing them,
I would be a liar. And then to top that off, I would be a thief for
stealing another man's wife.
I stand here and tell you that I had no kind of affair with Miss
Miranda Wright. Our relationship is strictly that of a manager and
wrestler. The reason I came to her aid is that NO ONE who calls
himself a man should ever hit a woman or set her up as D.A. did.
[Stone]: Actually, Melissa hit Miranda ... Bookthrower just
stood on the side and cheerled.
[McGill]
But that's not all I came out here to talk about though. These
accusations made me do some serious thinking. I went back to some of
the places where I was fed in the Spirit, and places where I grew as a
Christian. I realized, I wasn't being much of a reflection of Christ.
That's one of the main reasons you heard my change in theme music as I
came out here. You see, I've been keeping an eye of some of the
newcomers, and three in particular: those three being Mara Machismo,
Waylon Templar, and Isaiah O'Brien -- Cross-Body!!! {The fans pop
again at the mention of last week's heroes}.
You see, I listened hard to what those three had to say. Those three
are special to me because they are my sister and brothers in Him. They
were exactly right, they did see some things here that shouldn't have
been happening, and I wasn't excluded from that. I claim to represent
Christ yet I come out here with House of Pain blaring. They may be my
Irish brothers, but they certainly are not something I think Christ
wants me listening to. Heck, every few words in my theme music had to
censored since the AWI is the family league. So I changed, and who
know, I may change it again, but for now get used to hearing Rebecca
St. James, because that's what's gonna be playing for me!
And to the Mastermind, no, they are not biting off more then they can
chew. First you accuse me of having an affair with a married woman and
now you say that they can't do it. Well, I think they can, and so does
God. Heck, he says it in His own autobiography. Yep, right there in
Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens
me." And before you trash that as false, one more verse, Galations
6:7, NKJV, "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man
sows, that he will also reap." And besides that, Mara, Waylon, and
Isiah, if you ever need any help, you know where to find me, because
I'll also be there for my brothers and sister in Him! And I think we
should stick together, 'cause it's time for a R.I.O.T., a Righteous
Invasion of Truth, as Carman put it.
And to John Robertson, just wait until after Spring Stampede. You're
gonna hope Greg beats you, because if not, I'll be waiting you after I
win the battle royal!
{The fans pop huge as "Nothing at All" by Third Day plays and DBM
tosses the mic out of the ring and plays to them. Miranda has a huge
smile on her face as he walks around the ring getting the fans pumped.
Finally he steps aside and presents her, and she stops, hearing the
fans pop for her for the first time. Then she simply bows to the four
the four sides of the arena and DBM opens the ropes for her. He then
leaps over them to the outside and helps her off the apron and walks
to the back, the huge, kid-like smile back on his face.}
[Johnston]
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT-- THAT-- LITTLE BOY WOULD DARE CONTRADICT MY--
[Stone]
Ummm ... a bit too late. He's already done it.
[Rasputin]
I think we've just heard the beginnings of what could be one of the
stronger alliances in the AWI. The camaraman is saying we have to go
to another commercial.

illicit affairs--

Boot Hill getting set to lock up with a returning Honor Guard ... the
question to be answered being which will hurt the most ... T.C.'s
recent instability, or the Honor Guard's ring rust.

Actually, my question is how come we don't get any of the cool stuff
the kids at ringside get? I want a cowboy hat, darn it!!!

Glenn Turner shaking hands with both of the Honor Guard as T.C. ...
well ... keeps pacing. Both teams consulting ... and it looks like
Glenn Turner and Sam Richards will start this off ... collar-and-elbow
tieup ... Turner breaks it ... and levels Richards with a dropkick!!!
Another takes him down again ... double irish whip ... The Gunslinger
with a sunset flip!!! 1 ... 2 ... CLOSE kickout by Richards ...

And it would appear "ring rust" will be prevalent factor in this
match.

"CANADIAN SENSATION" CHRIS SIM!!!!
{"A New Sensation" by INXS blasts on the speakers, a red spotlight
shines everywhere, and strobe lights light the aisle as Chris Sim

down, who cheer more and more for the young superstar high flyer ...
when he gets to the ring, Sim walks up to Kinsman and take the mic.
Something is muttered to Kinsman off mic and the two shake hands. Sim
then gets a huge smirk across his face like everything's just
unbelievable then he starts to speak.}
[Sim]
First the Butcher and now {takes a deep breath} the Crow, 'Mister
Redundant' Corey Bonham, and Painkeep decide that they must interfere,
in my matches! But before getting to you guys, I would like to thank
Cross Body for saving my hide when it was four on one in the ring. The
Machismo name definitely stands for something these days.
{Pauses to take the time for a second crowd pop for Cross Body.}
Now, Butcher I _am_ impressed that you didn't come down to take your
shots ... I guess you must'en of been in the house that night.
However, don't you think for even one second that I forgot about you
hitting me from behind with a chair. When you're in the ring with me,
there will be no chairs ... and it will be a wrestling match. So, why
don't you prove to me and {points at the crowd} everyone else that you
can do more than just swing a chair around!
Pointless violence and jumping from behind has been a common theme in
my matches so far, as Painkeep felt as if they needed to come out here
last week. Obviously they didn't learn the first time ... and you will
get your shot at the International Players again, but we are really
busy people Carlos and I, so you will have to get in line and wait
your turn like everyone else. I guess you and the Butcher have a lot
in common, as you have proved to be as underhanded in the same obvious
way. I guess you're not very good at losing. But do you really need to
be involved in everyone else's business? I bet your the kind of people
who rummage through people's mail and garbage, but we'll not get into
that right now.
Speaking of garbage ... Bonham, I'm glad you tried to get in my way
now I have a reason, to want another match with you, I'm not a sore
loser, but I always like a chance to redeem myself, so whadda say?
Another match? Unless you don't think you can beat me again ...
What else ... ah, yes the Crow, I believe {points at Mendoza} Carlos
will get back at you for all those things you have said about our
countries by having just one 'Heart to Heart' talk with you!
And last but not least Rictor, your next on the line tonight, and I'm
sure you and your friends have something planned for me, but has
you'll see here tonight as you saw before, that doesn't stop me!
{Sim walks back to Kinsman and hands him the mic.}
[Kinsman]
His opponent ... halis from Reno, Nevada ... he weighs in at two
hundred fifty-four pounds ... led to the ring by his manager, TAMARA

{"Grind" by Alice In Chains kicks in, and the crowd starts vehemently
booing the young Showtime sibling and his leather-clad girlfriend.}
Your referee is Curtis Keyes.
[Rasputin]
Rictor Showtime's trying getting back on the championship road as he
takes on the versatile young Canadian star ... both men circle ...
Showtime rushes in ... monkey flip takedown on Sim! Sim scrambles up
... back brain kick as Showtime goes in for the follow-up ... Sim
picks him up ... kneebreaker takes down Rictor ... Sim to the ropes
... and a bulldog takes down the Showtime sibling!!! He picks Rictor
up ... and ANOTHER bulldog establishes Sim in complete control!!!
[Johnston]
It would appear that Rictor Showtime mat be overlooking Chris Sim
... given his recent fixation on Mike Piersall, I would suspect he
looked past this match ... much to his current regret.
[Rasputin]
Both men to their feet now ... headscissors takedown by Sim ... OVER
THE TOP ROPE!!! Rictor takes a nasty spill to the outside ... Sim up
to the top rope ... Showtime staggers to his feet ... MOONSAULT FROM
THE OUTSIDE TO THE FLOOR!!!! INCREDIBLE MOVE BY THE CANADIAN
SENSATION!!!
[Stone]
Okay, maybe we should tell Rictor "Forget Mike Piersall ... he won't
be flying off the top at you ... remember the kid flying at you at
high velocities."
[Rasputin]
Chris Sim rolls both in ... sets up Showtime in the corner ...
gives a holler to the fans ... and Rictor with an inverted atomic
drop which stops that momentum.
[Stone]
I would give sympathy ... but there was no shin guard on Showtime's
knee. If the Mississippi Kid could take it, Sim can!
[Johnston]
So why do you not get in the ring?
[Stone]
Because I KNOW I couldn't take it...
[Rasputin]
Armdrag takedown by Showtime ... Sim fights back with an elbow ...
but Showtime snap mares him back down again ... Showtime slaps on a
leglace ... and now it's Rictor Showtime in firm control!!!
[Johnston]
Again, here is where we see the excellent managerial skill of Tamara.
She knows that, once this becomes a mat wrestling contest, high-flying
manuevers become irrelevant. If Showtime limits Sim to ground attacks
and mat wrestling, this match will not even be in question.
[Rasputin]
That may be true, as Sim reaches the ropes ... Showtime breaks ... but
lays into Sim with a succession of hard right hands!!! Sim's stunned
... Showtime gets to the top rope ... FLYING FOR-- SIM WITH A SCISSORS
PILEDRIVER ... INTO A PIN!!!!
[Stone]
Ah, Richards ... you've been one-upped already!!!
[Rasputin]
Tamara up on the apron, complaining to Keyes ... Keyes doesn't see the
pin. He finally turns around ... 1 ... 2 ... but Showtime's out!!! This
one could have been-- "SUPERMAN" MIKE PIERSALL'S AT RINGSIDE!!!
[Johnston]
Whose life will he intrude upon this time?!?!
[Rasputin]
That's a good question, as Sim takes back over with an elbow smash ...
PIERSALL'S GRABBED TAMARA, AND IS MOVING HER AWAY FROM RINGSIDE!!!!
[Johnston]
Everyone complains about D. A. Bookthrower ... there's your woman
abuser!!!
[Rasputin]
Dropkick by Sim downs Showtime ... he hasn't noticed his manager's
gone ... Piersall's pulling out something ... a pair of handcuffs?!?!
[Stone]
I would make a comment about freakiness ... and he's pulling out
handcuffs on a woman clad in black leather ... this is too easy. I
can't bring myself to abuse such an obvious opening.
[Rasputin]
Piersall handcuff's Tamara to the ringside railing halfway up the
aisle, and gentlemanly bows to her and heads to the back ... she's
giving him a piece of her mind--
[Stone]
In four-letter installments!!!
[Rasputin]
Showtime responds to Sim with a dropkick ... he picks up Sim and turns
around ... AND NOW HE SEES PIERSALL AND TAMARA!!!! RICTOR IS LIVID ...
he drops Sim ... heads out the-- Sim with a back elbow as Rictor turns
his back ... and a back brain kick downs Showtime!!!
[Johnston]
Which obviously provides solid evidence that Sim and Piersall are
working in tandem against Rictor Showtime. I would hope that Stan
Jurgens has a LOT to say about this.
[Rasputin]
We will see ... as Sim climbs the top ropes ... he cross his arms into
an X, and we know what that means -- "CROSSHAIRS" FLYING FOREARM!!!
Rictor's down ... Tamara can't do a thing ... 1 ... 2 ... HE GOT
HIM!!!!
[Kinsman]
The winner of the match... "THE CANADIAN SENSATION" CHRIS SIM!!!!
[Rasputin]
What the-- Otto "The Butcher" Verhoeven just showed up at ringside,
along with `Nurse" Heidi Uppenmann. They have a microphone, and are
motioning for Sim's attention.
[Otto Verhoeven]
{With a devious smile} Nun, Herr Sim, we have a little gift here for
you. You see, my fiancee is a really caring person, and so, being a
lovely person, she convinced me that you miserable, little fool could
really need this wheelchair. You can already train moving around with
it, preparing for your new career as a paralympic athlete ... because,
when you will step into the ring with me in a few weeks, I'll make an
example out of you -- pound you into the mat -- rip out your nearly
non-existant spine YOU SNOT-NOSED TOAD and chokeslam your weak,
Canadian body into the next millenium!!!! You are already doomed,
kleiner junge, doomed to enter my realm, doomed to enter the
SLAUGHTERHOUSE! And there is no escape from there on.
{He spits at Sim, then turns around laughing out loud and leaves
to the boos of the crowd.}
[Rasputin]
Chris Sim looks ready to get it on now ... but Verhoeven would seem to
want to hold off ... fans, we have to go to a commercial while they
free Tamara ... we'll be right back!!!
======================================================================
COMMERCIALS: "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?
======================================================================
{Open up to Alan Kinsman, in the ring.}
[Kinsman]
The following contest is for one fall, with a ten minute time limit
... and is for the AWI TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Our challenger
weighs in at two-hundred thirty-four pounds ... he hails from Tempe,
Arizona... he is... "THE HARDLINER" JASON WRATH!!!!
{"Dead and Bloated" by Stone Temple Pilots kicks in over the
loudspeakers, as the Hardliner makes his way to ringside to a chorus
of fans boos.}
His opponent is the current AWI TELEVISION CHAMPION!!!! He weighs in
at two-hundred twenty-five pounds ... accompanied to the ring by his
manager, ROBBIE STEVENS, he is ... TOSHIAKI HASEGAWA!!!
{"You're So Vain" by Faster Pussycat kicks up over the loudspeakers,
as Smilin' Joey and Robbie make their way to ringside to an even
greater chorus of boos.}
Your referee is Charles Watson.
[Rasputin]
Toshiaki taking his time removing his ring attire and the AWI TV
Title from his waist. Wrath looking more than a little impatient as
Hasegawa now takes some time to strut for an unappreciative crowd ...
JASON WRATH WITH A RUNNING KNEE LIFT ON HASEGAWA MID-STRUT!!!
[Stone]
And it added such a lovely flip to the mat to what was already
poetry in motion.
[Rasputin]
Wrath lifting Hasegawa up ... who responds with a punch to the groin
... whips Wrath in ... and latches on a sleeper on the return. Wrath
struggling, but it's latched on tight ... Wrath finally twists out ...
into a bite by Hasegawa ...
[Stone]
Between Hasegawa, Perkins, and Johannsen, I have to ask: Robbie, are
you feeding these guys?!?
[Rasputin]
Toshiaki breaks ... double irish whip ... Hasegawa with a sunset flip
... and a handful of tights!!!! Watson sees it, and no count is
issued!!! Wrath with an elbow as they rise ... into a DDT!!! And
another!!! Now it's Jason Wrath in firm control.
[Stone]
And Toshiaki Hasegawa still quite a bit hungry.
[Rasputin]
Wrath whips Hasegawa in ... but TH with a low kick as Wrath rushes in
... dropkick followup ... and a neckbreaker by the man they call
Smilin' Joey to regain control!!!
[Stone]
Ya know, when I think of initimidating ring names, "Smilin' Joey" just
doesn't pop up.
[Rasputin]
Hasegawa with a bodyslam ... and now starts kicking away at the groin
area!!! 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 4 ... Watson has to step in to get Hasegawa
away!!!
[Stone]
Okay, Wrath I have pity on. True, he didn't take the shot that the
Mississippi Kid took ... but he's more than made up for it in numbers.
[Rasputin]
Hasegawa picking up Wrath ... moves him into the corner ... runs to
the far side ... HANDSPRING BUTT BUMP.... CONNECTS!!!!!
[Stone]
And the deadly butt attack claims another hapless victim!!!
[Rasputin]
Wrath is down ... Hasegawa's over him ... he locks on the STF!!!
Watson checking for a submission ... Hasegawa grabs Robbie's hand ...
Robbie pulling down for more leverage!!! BUT WATSON SEES HIM AND
BREAKS THE HOLD!!!
[Stone]
Wow ... Watson's spotted two things tonight ... this must be a new
record!
[Rasputin]
Both men scramble up ... Wrath up surpringly quickly, and locks on a
front-facelock ... irish whip into the corner ... reversed into a
toss outside by Hasegawa!!! Robbie on the apron jawing with Watson as
Hasegawa joins Wrath outside ... Hasegawa pulls something out of his
trunks ... it looks like something metal.
[Stone]
It's always bad when you have metal stuff in your pants.
[Rasputin]
HE'S JAMMING IT IN WRATH'S FOREHEAD!!! Wrath is busted open, and
Hasegawa rolls both back in the ring ... double irish whip ... another
sleeper on the bleeding Jason Wrath ... Wrath reaches the ropes ...
and Hasegawa looks stunned!!!
[Stone]
Of course he is ... Jason Wrath got his blood on Hasegawa's ring
outfit with that sleeper, darn him!!!
[Rasputin]
HASEGAWA LOOKS INCENSED!!!! HE LUNGES AT JASON WRATH AND STARTS
CHOKING HIM!!!! Watson putting a count on him ... 1 ... 2 ... 3 ... 4
... 5 ... Hasegawa refuses to break ... Watson's calling for the
bell!!! Robbie's going crazy trying to get Hasegawa off of Wrath. The
ref brigade is down now ... and it's taking every one of them to peel
Toshiaki off of Wrath ... Jason Wrath looks hurt ... he's trying to
catch his breath as they hold Hasegawa back ... WRATH LUNGES OVER THE
REFEREES AT HASEGAWA!!! We've got a brawl going on ... and the
referees and Robbie finally manage to get the two out of the ring!!!
Let's get some kind of official decision ...
[Kinsman]
The winner of the match, at a time of 5:07, as a result of a
disqualification ... "THE HARDLINER" JASON WRATH!!! However ... since
a title cannot change hands on a disqualification ... TOSHIAKI
HASEGAWA RETAINS THE TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
[Rasputin]
Jason Wrath is mad ... he's screaming obsceneties at Hasegawa ...
Hasegawa's yelling in a foreign language at Wrath ... fans, we need to
sort this out ... let's go to commercial -- we'll be right back!!!

======================================================================
{Carlos Mendoza can be seen sitting in the locker room on a couch with
his feet propped on a stool. He has a guitar and is playing "Solea"
softly while humming along with the chords.}
[Carlos Mendoza]
Uh, I didn't see you come in. Glad you did though. Gives me a chance
to say a few things before my match with the Crystal Crow, and Jade
Tiger no doubt. First of all, let it be known that Carlos Mendoza
hails from one of the grandest lands in the world; Mexico. There are
more than a million ways to describe my beautiful homeland, and all
of them true. And I take it none to lightly when a womanizing, foul
mouthed, stooge takes it upon himself to disgrace my native country
and homeland.
Jade Tiger, if you have a problem with me then we can surely settle
it in the ring like gentlemen, lest you're afraid your kendo stick
can't help you when *facing* and opponent. And as for your
prodigy ...
{Carlos stands up and walks over to a table where his guitar
case is sitting open and puts his guitar inside}
... I would think that a man who wears the AWI North American title
would have a bit more self respect for himself and be able to stand
on his own two feet. Not rely on the interference of a cowardly
mentor and his walking stick.
{Carlos reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out a small rubber
band and ties his hair into a ponytail as he heads for the locker
room door.}
Nevertheless. I think we will see tonight who is truly a champion.
You see Jade Tiger, not only do I believe in the "American Dream",
but I embrace it whole heartedly. Look around me, JT ...
{Carlos holds out his arms and spins around as he reaches the
door, gesturing to the room around him adorned in AWI logos and
merchandise.}
... it seems that at least one of us has gotten what they were looking
for when they came to America. And I think that by winning the AWI
North American Title tonight, I can give a little bit of it back to
the people who gave it to me ... the FANS! I'll see you at ringside
eh chico?
======================================================================
{Cut back to Alan Kinsman, in the ring...}
[Kinsman]
The following attraction is our MAIN EVENT!!! It is for one fall, with
a ten-minute time limit ... and is for the ALLIED WRESTLING
INTERNATIONAL NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Our challenger,
accompanied to the ring by his tag team partner in the INTERNATIONAL
PLAYERS, "CANADIAN SENSATION" CHRIS SIM ... from Barcelona, Spain ...
residing in Cancun, Mexico ... he stands six feet, three inches, and
weighs two hundred forty-nine pounds ... he is... "EL SCORPION" CARLOS
MENDOZA!!!
{"Concierto de Aranjuez" by Miles Davis pops up, as the International
Players come down to ringside to a very solid and positive crowd
approval.}
His opponent hails from the Celestial Temple of the Orient ... he
stands six feet, one inch, and weighs two hundred twenty-eight pounds
... led to the ring by his manager, THE JADE TIGER ... he is ... THE
CRYSTAL CROW!!!
{"High Flyin' Again" by Ozzy Osbourne blares on, and, almost like his
opposite number, the Crystal Crow comes out to a very solid but
extrodinarily negative crowd reaction ... as the Crystal Crow "defines
his nest" by touching east of the ringposts, Jade Tiger immediately
rushes to referee Charles Watson, and starts saying something to him,
pointing at Chris Sim.}
[Rasputin]
Jade Tiger very vocal right now ... Charles Watson is leaving the ring
... he's approaching Chris Sim ... I DON'T BELIEVE THIS ... HE'S
MAKING SIM LEAVE THE RINGSIDE AREA!!!
[Johnston]
Well, Christopher Sim is /NOT/ a duly licensed AWI manager, and, as
such, can only be at ringside to wreak havoc on what could otherwise
be a respectable match ...
[Rasputin]
Well, Sim is /NOT/ going for that idea ... Mendoza outside now ...
he's talking to Watson and Sim ... I think he's assuring Chris that
he'll be alright ... Chris is leaving, but the crowd is NOT liking
this!!!
[Stone]
I wonder why -- every step Sim takes towards the locker room adds
another letter to the secret word. Let's see: "B" ... "E" ... "A" ...
"T" ... "D" ... "O" ...
[Rasputin]
ANYWAY ... Mendoza appears confident enough. He and the Crow circle
each other ... Mendoza lunges in ... locks on an armwringer ... into a
savate kick!!! Impressive martial arts manuever against the martial
artist ... the Crow slow to get up ... DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF HIS
HEAD by Mendoza!!! He stands the Crystal Crow up ... RUSSIAN LEG
SWEEP!!! He goes for the pin ... Jade Tiger grabbing at Mendoza from
outside, and Mendoza breaks rather than getting grabbed!!!
[Stone]
C'mon ... the odds are against you already ... why not fall for EVERY
trap?
[Rasputin]
Because I think that, if Sim did not leave, Mendoza would have faced
being disqualified ... Crow with a rake to the eyes as the rise ...
another when they get to their feet ... but Mendoza with the forearm
shot!!! Mendoza looks incensed!!! Double irish whip ... KNEE LIFT
takes down the high-flyer from the Orient!!! Crow scrambles up ...
and Mendoza LEVELS him with a savate kick ... and it's ALL MENDOZA
right now!!!
[Johnston]
Yes, it would certainly appear that Jade Tiger was indeed unnecessary
in this situation ... Mendoza was well more than capable of handling
himself ...
[Rasputin]
Mendoza with an elbow shot ... but the Crow wakes up, and retaliates
with a HARD karate chop, which downs the Scorpion ... and he locks on
the Crow's Talon!!!! Mendoza is in SERIOUS pain from that nerve pinch
hold!!!
[Johnston]
Very good manuever by the Crystal Crow ... it breaks Mendoza's
momentum and affords him time for recovery ...
[Rasputin]
Mendoza pulling away ... he's trying ... he twists free of the hold
... but the Crystal Crow staggers him with a karate chop as he reaches
his feet ... Mendoza manuevers behind... locks on a reverse chinlock
... breaks in favor of a double irish whip ... and a bulldog lariat
downs the Crow again ... Jade Tiger up on the apron ... and Mendoza
chases him off ... HE'S GOING AFTER JADE TIGER!!!
[Stone]
The checkered flag waves, and they're off!!! Jade Tiger quickly out in
front, but Mendoza is catching him a bit at every bend ...
[Rasputin]
CRYSTAL CROW WITH A SAVATE KICK AS MENDOZA ROUNDS A CORNER!!!!
[Stone]
OH!! Blowout!!! Bad break for Team: Scorpion!!!
[Rasputin]
ANYWAY ... The Crow grabs Mendoza ... RAMS him head-first into the
steel guardrail ... Jade Tiger hands the Crow the Kendo stick ... but
Charles Watson hops outside ... and he's not letting him use it!!! He
demands the Crow get things back in the ring ... and the Crow
disgruntily complies ...
[Johnston]
Which is clearly against the rulebook ... as long as no third party
interferes, what occurs outside the ring remains what occurs outside
the ring ...
[Rasputin]
Actually, I think Charles Watson is giving quite a bit of latitude
since this is a title match ... the Crow locks on the Crow's Talon ...
and now Mendoza is SCREAMING in pain!!!
[Johnston]
The Crow's Talon may be the single most underrated manuever in the AWI.
It causes intense pain, yet is elegantly simplistic. He can utilize
the manuever in nearly any situation, against any opponent. A
marvelous manuever.
[Rasputin]
Well, it's doing the job, as "El Scorpion" is in trouble now ...
Mendoza twists ... twists ... he frees himself again!!! But the Crow
is on him with a karate chop ... lifts him to his feet ... Savate
kick downs Mendoza!!! Mendoza up again ... and a dropkick sends
Mendoza through the ropes to the outside!!!
[Stone]
Where was I on the secret word again? Oh, yeah ... "W" ... "N" ...
What's that spell?!?!
[Rasputin]
ANYWAY ... Jade Tiger on the apron, gabbing with Charles Watson ...
the Crystal Crow has the kendo stick ... and a HARD smack to the head
of Carlos Mendoza!!! He rolls the Spaniard in ... Covers for the pin
... this is a travesty ... 1 ... 2 ... MENDOZA KICKED OUT!!!! MENDOZA
KICKED OUT!!! MENDOZA--
[Stone]
--is is the single greatest glutton for punishment I think I've ever
seen ...
[Rasputin]
The Crystal Crow is getting VERY frustrated now ... I'm not certain
how much more he has ...
[Johnston]
Two words: "Tiger's Pounce".
[Rasputin]
True. Mendoza won't give him a chance, attacking with a back elbow ...
Crow with a low blow ... and a dropkick followup to the head ... lifts
Mendoza ... but Carlos fights back with a forearm!!! Crow up ... Savate
kick takes him down!!! Irish whip into the corner by the Scorpion ...
knee lift as the Crow bounces out. Mendoza's incensed, and this crowd
is loving it!!!! Mendoza with a bodyslam!!! A pose for the crowd,
that's going crazy ... but the Crow with another low shot to regain
control ...
[Johnston]
This illustrates why I've never understood the concept of the "fan
favorite" ... the fans aren't in the ring to help you ... so the posing
and playing to them only harms your cause ...
[Rasputin]
Crystal Crow to the ropes ... running savate kick downs the
International Player!!! Double irish whip ... sunset flip by the
Crystal Crow!!! 1 ... 2 ... MENDOZA KICKS OUT AGAIN!!! The Crow with a
karate chop in anger ... both men up ... Dropkick sends Carlos Mendoza
over the top AGAIN!!!
[Stone]
Ya know, Mendoza would be doing alot better if he wasn't hitting that
ringside floor so much...
[Rasputin]
Crystal Crow now gabbing with Charles Watson as Jade Tiger sneaks upon
an unsuspecting Mendoza ... Jade Tiger hi-- NO!!! Carlos dodges, and
lands a DDT on the outside on Jade Tiger!!! Crystal Crow rushing out
to help his mentor. He takes a neckbreaker by the Scorpion!!! And a
DDT on the outside for the Crow!!!
[Stone]
There ya go, Carlos ... share that ringside floor with everyone! Now
... don't you feel much better?
[Rasputin]
Mendoza is on fire, and the fans are heating up for him ... armwringer
by Mendoza ... into a russian leg sweep!!! El Scorpion lifts him up
... small package!!! 1 ... BUT THE CROW KICKS OUT NOW!!! Crystal Crow
with an eye rake ... he whips Mendoza in ... TIGER'S POUNCE!!!! HE
HITS THE TIGER'S POUNCE!!! Crystal Crow covers ... 1 ... 2 ...
!!!
[Rasputin]
The bell's rung ... but did he get the pin ... or did something else
happen ...
[AK]
Ladies and gentlemen ... time has EXPIRED ... this match has been
declared ... a DRA--
[Rasputin]
PAINKEEP HAS IT THE RING AGAIN!!!! They're stomping on a Carlos
Mendoza who's far too exhausted too fight back ... Von Gratenheim has
him up ... "DAS CRUSHER" TIGERBOMB!!!! BUT HERE COMES CHRIS SIM!!!
AND CROSS BODY!!! WE'RE GETTING A PREVIEW OF NEXT WEEK, AS CROSS-BODY
IS TRADING BLOWS WITH PAINKEEP AND CHRIS SIM WORKS OVER AN EXHAUSTED
CRYSTAL CROW!!! We're out of time, fans ...
we'll see you next week, for the HYPE show!!!
{Fade out on a MAJOR brawl in the ring.}
