Ring of Honor

 

Perhaps no other sport has a longer, richer, or more fascinating history than that of professional wrestling...

The drama, competition, and athletic artistry that is pro wrestling separates it from everything in the sports or entertainment worlds. Simply put, there is nothing else in sports or entertainment quite like it...

Our sport has been the chosen profession of some of the greatest athletes in history, as well as the most intriguing personalities and performers ever.  With that in mind, this hall of fame was created in order to pay homage to these legendary, yet often unsung, heroes of the squared circle...

Here, within The Ring of Honor, the most influential wrestlers GroundZero Wrestling 2K1 has ever known will be honored.  In the coming months, even more deserving legends will be inducted into this prestigious club.

 

 

Pyro explodes along the entranceway and down the rampway. “Timebomb” by Godsmack echoes through the crowded Coliseum. Suspended high above the squared circle is the steel cage to be used in one of tonight’s matches. The camera pans to ringside to show the commentating trio of Patrick Nelson, Joshua Samson, and Todd Crumb. All three young commentators are decked out in tuxedos.

Nelson: Welcome fans to the first ever Ring of Honor presentation! Tonight we bring to you this special show to induct the first class of GZW legends into our own hall of fame!

Crumb: What a class it is, Nelson! The man who personified the Television Champion with the longest reign ever, Jason Makavelli, will be the first man to receive GZW’s highest accolade!

Samson: Big deal! So Fubu, yes I will always know him as Fubu, is the first inductee into the Ring of Honor! If you ask me it should be the “Jade Dragon” Sincere! The man has held nearly every title in this company! Fubu only had one!

Crumb: Were you stupid before or after you got into this business?

Nelson: In honor of Jason Makavelli and his Television Championship the first of two matches tonight will for the Television title!

Samson: Oh yeah! El doble campion El Gambit will get to beat the brains out of two young punks in a steel cage!

Crumb: I wouldn’t actually call Desecrator and Kombat young punks, Samson! Tonight one of them could possibly walk from that steel cage as the new GZW Television Champion!

Nelson: The second member of the winter class of 2002 is a man that helped redefine the word “extreme” in the GZW! Aptly dubbed “Last Man Standing”, Cravin Morehead made his undeniable mark living his professional career to the extreme!

Samson: Oh my god! Another nobody! Who in the hell was responsible for voting for this thing? The man who should be going into the Ring of Honor for an extreme lifestyle should be none other than the man who will be wrestling in the second match tonight and that is Big C!

Crumb: Well there is no doubt that the former Extreme Champion, Big Country is a helluva extreme fighter, and he will prove it tonight in a barbwire, table, and ladders match against the reigning Extreme Champion, “The Downfall” Rebellion!

Nelson: So before my two colleagues start arguing over who is better between Happy Sumo and Ass Clown, let’s get right into our first match!

 

---Television Championship Match: Steel Cage Match (only won by making opponent submit or rendering them unconscious): Kombat vs. Desecrator vs. El Gambit---

Samson: Folks are you ready for the EXTREME TITLE MATCH!

Crumb: You tool, this is the TV title match, and it is just an extreme match!

Samson: Oh … but?

Crumb: Don't ask Samson … don't ask!

Patrick Nelson: Well this is a Caged Match, which means that these men will go threw certain hell….

Samson: Shill…

Nelson: Wha…anyway these men will enter a twenty-foot steel cage, topped and without a door. And EVERYTHING is legal inside. Using the weapons provided, and there are many of them, I see plenty of toasters, chairs, trashcans and other goodies. And this bout can only be won by knocking you opponent out or making them…

Samson: Call you daddy?

Nelson: Well that's the idea! So in honor of our first inductee into the Ring of Honor, Jason Makavelli, let’s get right into this match!

As the crowd waits for the match to get started, the Coliseum goes black, except for the Zero-tron, which is showing flames. A faint ticking is heard in the background, and it gradually gets louder. Suddenly, the word "GO!" is shouted, and a black Rottweiler head appears from behind the fire. Its eyes are glowing red, and moments after this, the lights return. On the stage, kneeling down on one knee is Desecrator. His head is lowered, showing us the crown of his slicked back brown hair. On his upper body is a brand new leather jacket. It has purple lightning, but after he rises and begins his descent to the ring, we see on the back the same picture on the screen, except for the words "Roccwylders". Stepping up onto the apron, he looks around at the crowd with glee before raising his right arm and, with fist closed, saluting the audience. From his sleeve, a flame shoots from a hidden pyro cannon inside, lighting up the stage. Finally, he removes his coat and enters the ring, ready for his match.

Samson: Who in the hell gave this kid a new intro? What has he proven to get this?

Nelson: Are you kidding, Samson! Desecrator is a former LightHeavyweight Champion here in GZW!

"Let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the floor, let the bodies hit the..." With every time that sentence is whispered throughout the Coliseum, a quarter of the Coliseum lights are shut off, before the first riff hits the Coliseum is completely black. It is silent until "FLOOOOOR!" with that ear-deafening scream hits and the entire Coliseum lights up with white searchlights and fireworks. Kombat, wearing the same “Roccwylders” jacket as Des, bolts down the ramp with arms outstretched, slapping the hands of all the fans reaching for him. He jumps onto the ring apron while holding onto the top rope, he rears back, and launches himself into the ring. He shakes hands with Des and both young men wait for the reigning TV Champion.

Samson: The Challengers are in the ring!

Crumb: That's obvious, why don't you mention that they are wrestlers as well!

“Violent Mood Swings" by Stabbing Backwards queues the Zero-tron to flash images of El Gambit doing moves, and coshing opponents. El G walks out on the entranceway with a concerned look on his face. He wears the TV belt around his waist and his LH title over his shoulder. His eyes wander around, to the cage above, to his opponents, to the crowd. He walks part way down the ramp, looks up again then shakes his head and turns around and starts walking to the back.

Nelson: Where is he going?

Samson: Well he doesn't need this; he has an important Television Title defense on Friday Travesty against Adam Cage!

Crumb: That's the coward's way out!

Samson: That's the smart way out!

Des and Kombat look at each other, both grab chairs with one hand and bolt after El G. El G doesn't notice and by the time he is two steps from the curtain he is hit with a double chair shot by Kombat and Des. El G goes down hard and both Atlanta natives grab him by the back off the head, lift him up and march him back to the ring. They roll in and the cage finally starts to descend.

Samson: Those two pups can’t do that to the big dog!

Crumb: Looks like they just did, Samson!

Kombat and Des drop their chairs and start throwing punches at each other in the ring. Kombat gets the advantage and punches Des into the corner. He whips him to the opposite side as hard as he can. Des tucks his head and his velocity makes him flip up onto the turnbuckle and he smokes the cage with his head. Dazed, he falls back but his leg hook and is now a sitting duck, in a tree of woe.

Nelson: Looks as if Desecrator is in no man’s land right!

Kombat charges at Des but is intercepted by El G with a bicycle kick to the face. El G acts quick. He picks Kombat up and drops him with three lighting fast snap suplex's in a row. He then picks him up and does a back breaker. El G then turns his attention to Des, who is still in the corner. El G charges and does a baseball slide. But the acrobatic Des sits up and El G slides right under him and his leg goes through the cage and is “balled” by the ring post. El G cries out in pain for his "legacy”.

All three commentators: (in unison, holding their crotches) OUCH!!

Des untangles himself and perches on top of the top rope. He leaps off and leg drops El G in the back of the head. Des gets up quickly. El G rolls around holding his nose, which seems to be bleeding. Des looks over at Kombat who is now up staring right at Des. Des charges at Kombat, but Kombat stand his ground. Des swings a haymaker like clothesline but Kombat ducks it and Des bounces off the ropes. Kombat grabs a nearby toaster and chucks it at Des that hits him squarely in his face. Des flips 360 degrees backwards onto his front clutching his face.

Nelson: OH MY GOD! Did you see that?

Samson: He did a back flip, but he really did mean to if you catch my drift!

Crumb: What in the hell are you babbling about, Samson?

Kombat turns to El G. El G’s' hands are covered in blood. Kombat walks up to him, lifts him up and applies an old school sleeper hold. El G panics right off the bat but after a few seconds’ calms down and seems to be getting tired. Then out of nowhere a recovered Des hops on Kombat's back and puts HIM in a sleeper.

Samson: That's quite the pyramid!

Kombat seems tired, El G seems more tired, and Des is airborne. After a few more moments El G counters it all with a jawbreaker. Des flies off, as does Kombat. All three men take time to recover. El G is the first up as he looks at his opponents and turns to the cage. He pulls and pulls trying to escape, but to no avail. He turns around and sees Kombat and Des both up. El G jumps back a bit and starts climbing the cage. He gets a good 12 ft up and Des is right there clawing at his ankles. But Kombat seeing an opportunity grabs Des and back drops him. He turns back to El G who is at the ceiling of the cage. Kombat starts climbing the cage after El G. The Champ still trying to get away starts swinging across the ceiling. El G makes it near the center panel and suddenly it breaks loose and El G and the steel grating fall 20ft to the ring.

Nelson: OH GOD!

Samson: THE DOUBLE CHAMP!

El G stirs but seems quite winded. Kombat hops down and starts working on Des again giving him a few kicks to his back Kombat hops on top of Des and gives him a half nelson camel clutch.

Nelson: It looks as if Desecrator is about to give up! Up goes his hand AND…

Samson: IT'S OVER ... NO! WAIT!

El G front drop kicks Kombat right in the face. It knocks Kombat down, but he is quick to get up. El G looks startled and runs and climbs the cage again.

Crumb: This didn't work for him the first time!

Kombat is quick to follow. El G makes it to the top of the cage again and swings again out towards the middle only this time he pulls himself up and goes on top of the cage. Kombat follows. As Kombat is getting to his feet El G lays the boots to him. El G lifts him up and delivers a piledriver. The cage wavers but does not break. El G gets up to see Desecrator getting to his feet on top of the cage as well.

Nelson: Oh no all three are now onto of the cage!!

El G bolts over and clotheslines Des down. He lifts him up and signals for a Rock of Gibraltar DDT to mat.

Nelson: NO! That will kill him!

Samson: DO IT CHAMP!

He lifts him up but Kombat low blows El G from behind. El G lets Des down. Kombat spins him around. He sets him up for a powerbomb. He looks at Des who is standing right next to them and Kombat lifts up El G with Des’ help. Des and Kombat spike powerbomb El G…

Nelson: THROUGH THE HOLE IN THE CAGE!!

Crumb: DEAR GOD!

Samson: WHOA!

Kombat talks to Des and he seems to agree. Kombat steps up to the top of the cage and signals for the Death From Above (swanton bomb). Des suddenly pushes Kombat through the hole of the cage, and he falls awkward on his shoulder.

Nelson: OH MY!

Des tasting victory climbs down the cage. He moves over to Kombat who is favoring his shoulder and sticks him in a Painful Demise (STF). It doesn't take Kombat long to tap out, after falling 20ft onto his shoulder.

Nelson: Desecrator wins the Television title!

Samson: NO! El Gambit didn’t lose!

Crumb: Looks that way to me, Samson!

Des realizes the hold and quickly checks on the downed Kombat. Referee Patricia Albertson opens the cage door and enters with the TV title belt. As she makes her way over to the new TV Champ, El Gambit yanks the belt out of her grasps. He glares at the belt as if it was his child. Turning his attention to Des, he growls and reaches into his trunks and pulls out his trusty cosh.

Nelson: This doesn’t look good!

Samson: No one takes something from El Gambit and not pay for it!

El G drops the TV belt and creeps upon the unsuspecting new TV Champ. With a sickening thud, Des receives a cosh shot to the temple of his head. Des hits the mat holding the side of his head. El G straddles Des and wails away at his side with the cosh. Ref Albertson frantically calls for the bell but El G pays it no attention.

Nelson: This totally disgusting! This match was in honor of our first inductee into the Ring of Honor and El Gambit has turned it into something totally horrible!

Samson: And the beauty of it all is that no one cares enough about Desecrator and Kombat to come down and save them!

Crumb: Looks like you’re wrong about that, Samson! Here comes…

“All Star” by Smashmouth explodes on the sound system as Invincible and Battlecry, dressed in civilians, rush down the rampway. El Gambit, knowing the better part of valor, hussles up the side of the cage and makes it to the top by the time Invincible and Battlecry hit the ring. Battlecry looks up at El G as Invincible checks on the downed Kombat and Des.

---First Inductee---

Cypress Hill’s "Rap Superstar" plays as we see an opening shot on the Zero-tron of Jason Makavelli getting ready to step into the ring for the first time, followed by the a severe beating at the hands of  “Smooth Operator” Billy Bond and “Last Man Standing” Cravin Morehead in a Three way Extreme Championship match. Then we see shots of Jason under his persona of Fubu giving people the Brooklyn Bulldog, including greats like Maxx Pain, Eric “Complete Chaos” Montair known as EZ Money at that time, and of course, Dameon. We see a montage then of him holding up the Television title on the many different occasions he proudly defended. Special attention is paid as the Zero-tron shows the successful defense of the TV title at Dark Horizon pay per view as Jason takes on three different men throughout the night...it shows him with his many friends through his career, Little Show at first, Diamond Sledge, Nathaniel Davis...then a shot of Jason Makavelli smiling in slow-mo as the music continues.

Standing in the ring wearing a tuxedo and holding a plaque is Alexander Hunt .

Hunt: Welcome to the ring, the longest reigning Television Champion in GZW history, and now a member of the GZW’s Ring of Honor, “The GiantKiller” Jason Makavelli!

The crowd gives him a standing ovation as Jason, hand in hand with his longtime girlfriend Helen, leisurely walk to the ring, smiling to the crowd and chatting it up with a couple fans on the way up.

Hunt: Jason, I knew this day would come someday after watching you rise through the ranks, capture the Television Championship, impressive win after impressive win. The sad thing is that you are no longer wrestling here. You will be eternally missed, but now, you will be eternally remembered for your accomplishments as you are now officially in the Ring of Honor!

Jason gives Hunt a handshake/hug, exchanges a few words with him, then takes the mic and the plaque, looking around him in all directions towards the crowd. He doesn't look sad at all, but instead very content and happy. He begins to speak as the crowd hushes after an excellent ovation.

“First of all I have to thank GroundZero Wrestling for this recognition. I'm almost embarrassed that it's like this, entering as the first ever inductee into the Ring of Honor of the wrestling company that I love so much. I think I came along as the first generation of GZW, coming with the Magic’s, the T-Rex’s, and the Davis’ and we helped make the GZW what it has become today, with new stars coming to the forefront. I'm honored to say I've spent most of my career competing alongside and against guys like “Smooth Operator” Billy Bond, Pimp Bizkit, Samuel Knight, Jason ArcAngel and many more.”

(A nice applause for Jason as he pauses.)

“Was I the greatest ever? (Jason smirks as he looks around, hearing a lot of cheers from the crowd in response) That's not for me to decide, and now that I'm no longer active, it's not for me to argue. But I do feel confident that with the guys that are still active today, that they've given my career even more credibility; after all, you have to compete against the best to call yourself that.”

“I do know that I feel privileged to have found GroundZero Wrestling 2K1, where the best wrestlers and fans have always been. I've said it before; I'll say it again. GZW is the best on the planet. And since I know that this is the best place in the world to compete, it makes it even more of an honor to be put into the Ring of Honor.”

“But as such, I want to leave you with one more sentiment. My days of competing are over, but there are many great competitors still here...Magic, T-Rex, Maxx Pain, and many guys who weren't even here three months ago. I hope you all continue to support the guys in the GZW today, and the ones that will be here in the future. Cheer for them as you did me and the other people here being honored tonight. And if there's one thing I can guarantee you all, with the GZW, you'll never be disappointed. Thank you."

Jason Makavelli gets another standing ovation as he waves to the crowd, with "Rap Superstar" being played again. He says a few more things to Hunt, waves again, goes to the corner turnbuckle and holds up a fist one last time, then gets out of the ring, walking back up the ramp.

Nelson: There walks one of the greatest wrestlers in GZW history!

---Extreme Championship Match: Barbed wire, Ladders and Tables Match: Big Country vs. “The Downfall” Rebellion---

Nelson: Now we have a great match in store for you on this already amazing night! In honor of a man who lived his career to the extreme and proved he was the Last Man Standing, this match is honor of Cravin Morehead!

Crumb: That's right we have Big Country and the current Extreme Champion. “The Downfall” Rebellion facing off in a barbed wire, ladders and tables match for the Extreme Championship!!

Samson: Sit down and shut up!! This is going to be good and bloody and that's my kind of match!!

Nine referees walk down to the ring. The first three are carrying a stack of six tables and set two up on each side of the ring and the one facing the entrance. The next three refs are coming to the ring each carrying a ladder and again one is placed on each side of the ring and the last three refs each come to the ring with a roll of barbed wire wearing thick gloves so they don't get cut. They each take down one of the ring ropes and replace it with barbed wire.

Nelson: It’s unbelievable that the GZW is condoning such a match!

Crumb: This does seem like a HKWF match!

As the refs all walk up the ramp and enter the back, “Off The Wall” by Eminem and Redman plays through the Coliseum. Big Country walks out and very carefully gets in the ring. After posing on each turnbuckle, he adjusts his tights and his arm pads.

Samson: You’re looking at the history of the Extreme division in that ring right now, Nelson and Crumb! Big Country should be inducted into the Ring of Honor not “Last Man Standing” Cravin Morehead!

“Rebellion” by Jeanluc kicks in and Rebellion walks to the ring, takes off his Extreme title, and waits for the match to start in a corner.

Crumb: Let the B.L.T match begin!

Samson: Bacon, lettuce and tomatoes! I could go for some Subway now!

Senior Referee Richard Dark rings the bell and the match starts. Big C charges at Reb and hits him with a spear to start off the match. Reb gets up in a frantic daze and cannot find Big C who is standing behind him. Reb turns around and gets kicked in the gut and receives a snap DDT that keeps him down. Big C slides to the outside and takes a table back into the ring and sets it up. He turns around to pick up Reb but the current Extreme Champ is nowhere to be seen. Big C turns around just in time to see Reb flying off the turnbuckle. Big C gets hit hard with a flying clothesline from the top and goes down. Reb gets up, walks around the ring then picks up Big C up by the hair. Reb whips Big C into the replaced ropes of barbwire. Big C gets tangled in the ropes and the several cuts caused by this start to spew blood.

Crumb: Oh my god!!!! Look at the blood pouring out of Big Country!!

Samson: Oh yeah!!! This is to my liking!! Reminds me of our short broadcasting stint in HKWF!

Big C gets himself untangled and hobbles into the center of the ring wear. Reb picks him up and suplexes through the table. Reb goes for an early pin. Senior Ref Dark counts.

1…2…

Nelson: He kicked out!!

Reb pulls Big C to his feet and sets him up for The Downfall but Big C get some leverage, elbows Reb in the back of the head, and lifts Reb up and gets him with a piledriver. They both lie motionless on the mat and Senior Ref Dark begins to count.

1…2...3...4...5...6...7...8

Big C gets to his feet as Reb begins to move. Big C moves over to Reb and works on his back and legs by hooking him in a sharpshooter. Reb not really noticing the surroundings grabs the ropes forgetting they are barbed wire; quickly he lets go as his palms start to bleed from the cuts but the Senior Ref Dark makes Big C break the hold.

Samson: Rebellion has a lot to learn! This isn’t Pitfighter or Adam Cage!

Big C gets up and slides out of the ring and throws in a ladder and a fresh table. Big C slides into the ring as Reb regains his footing. Big C walks over to Reb and nails him with a punch. Reb responds with one of his own punches and they go back and forth until Reb gets the upper hand and nails him with a hard right. Reb then gives him a powerbomb. Reb goes to the new table and sets it up on top of the turnbuckle.

Nelson: Rebellion is no slouch in the extreme division, Samson! He just proved that!

Samson: Big deal! He’s lucky Big Country doesn’t really care about the Extreme title anymore or Rebellion would have bigger problems than GoldenEye!

Crumb: Shuttup, Samson! Look who’s coming down to ringside!

Jake MacKinnon makes his way down to ringside with a barbed wired wrapped stick unnoticed by Reb. Reb grabs Big C and slams him down again with a powerbomb. As Reb gets onto the table, Jake turns hops on the apron still unseen by Reb. Jake reaches up and nails Reb in the back and Reb falls down onto the mat next to Big C.

Nelson: OH MY GOD!!! Jake MacKinnon just nailed Rebellion in the back with a barbwire club!!

Samson: I really like Jake now!

Crumb: You would!

Jake runs back up the ramp. Big C begins to get to his feet and climbs the table then the ladder until he gets to the top. He hesitates a second then takes a big gulp and jumps off landing on Reb with a big frog splash. They both lay there motionless as Senior Ref Richard Dark starts to count

1…2…3...4...5...6...7...8...9

Nelson: Close double countout there!

Both men get up at the same time. They both are in a slight daze but they both shake out of it. They get in a grapple, but this time Reb gets the upper hand and picks up Big C and sends him back down with a big gorilla press slam. But Big C gets up right away and charges back at Reb who simply moves and trips Big C. Reb gets down and goes for the SlingShot(crippler cross face).

Crumb: Hey who is that coming down from the back...IT'S T-REX!!!

Rex climbs in the ring with a chair in hand but Senior Ref Dark tries to stop him. While Senior Ref Dark isn't looking, Reb still has the SlingShot applied and Big C starts tapping. Meanwhile Rex easily over powers Senior Ref Dark and shoves him down.

Nelson: T-Rex has snapped! Has the Champion of the People turned his back to his fans and sided with his brother Big Country?

Crumb: This can’t be happening!

Samson: You best believe it, losers!

Rex walks over to Reb and nails him in the back of the head with the chair. Big C slowly gets up and a look of joy crosses his face. He extends his hand for Rex to shake and Rex does so.

Crumb: T-Rex has returned to his Forsaken roots!

Samson: There is a wrestling god!!

Big C turns around to pin Reb but then gets a chair shot to the back of the head from Rex!! The crowd goes crazy as The Enforcer leaves ringside and enters the back.

Nelson: T-Rex has betrayed us! It was all a ruse to get back at Big Country!

Senior Ref Dark gets up and begins to count.

1...2...3...4...5...6...7

Rebellion gets to his feet and picks Big C up. Reb reaches into his trunks and produces a small hammer. He is about to nail Big C in the head but Big C quickly kicks the bloody and battered Reb in the gut. Big C sets him up for the CVD (Country Valley Driver) but Reb swings around him and executes The Downfall (urinage). Reb goes for the pin. Senior Ref Dark counts.

1…2...

Nelson: Rebellion wins!!! Rebellion wins!!!!!!

Crumb: what a great match!

Samson: That damn T-Rex!

---Second Inductee---

“SIC” by Slipknot (Molt Injected Remix) rocks the Coliseum as the Zero-tron begins the montage of clips of  “Last Man Standing” Cravin Morehead. From his debut in the early days of GZW (EWO days), the barely known wrestler simply known as Cravin Morehead, is shown paying his dues to other established wrestlers. The clip switches to Cravin entering the ring at the first Contest of Champions for a chance at the EWO/GZW Heavyweight Championship. It quickly flashes to a bloodied Cravin holding up the Extreme title after defeating Big Country while the crowd yells “Last Man, Last Man”. The final clip is from the Heatwave pay per view and the final match of Cravin in GZW against Pimp Bizkit.

Cravin’s bloody image appears on the Zero-tron as a booming voice is heard.

“As mysteriously as the Extreme legend appeared on the GZW scene, he mysteriously left us. The impact he left in the Extreme division is still being felt to this day.”

The video package ends and Alexander Hunt is once again standing in the ring. He holds a large plaque in his right hand, and a mic in the other. When he has everyone's attention, he speaks.

Hunt: Ladies and gentlemen, I'm afraid that “Last Man Standing” Cravin Morehead could not be found to appear at the show tonight, and won't be here in person. But his accomplishments in the GZW cannot be ignored, and we celebrate his career tonight by placing him in our Ring of Honor. Cravin, if you're watching, thank you for being a part of our company.

The crowd applauds in recognition of Cravin.

Hunt: Now, we were going to give him this plaque to keep, but since he is not here, I have been instructed to hold onto it. So I will humbly accept this for him. (He holds the plaque in the air and allows the cameramen to get a few good shots of it, before he exits the ring and returns back up the rampway.

Samson: Wait a minute, I'm confused, Nelson. So now HUNT is in the Ring of Honor?

Nelson: No, Samson!

Samson: But, why was he holding that thing then?

Nelson: *sigh*

Crumb: Just don't think about it, Samson.

Samson: Not a problem!

Nelson: On behalf of the entire staff here at GZW we would like to thank tonight’s first class of honorees for all the memories that they have blessed us with! Good luck with whatever endeavors the two of you embark on!

Samson: (singing off key) Thanks for the memories!

Crumb: I think I’m going to be sick!

Nelson: This ends tonight’s program, wrestling fans, but make sure you return here on Friday to witness the action known as Friday Travesty! Say “goodnight” guys!

Crumb and Samson: Goodnight guys!!
