Monday Manslaughter 05 Nov 01

At the fan entrance of the Coliseum, Tate Troublesome, flanked by the “Living Legend” Pimp Bizkit, and four Atlanta Police are watching patrons file into the Coliseum for tonight’s show. Many fans catch sight of the two Bad Influence members and try to get autographs but the police officers push them along. Tate, paying no attention to the autograph seekers, watches intently as the people file through the doors.

Tate: (turning to one of the cops) The show is about to start so I have to go handle business, but nothin’ changes. There are way too many rumours floating around concernin’ Smooth’s appearance tonight. That bastard didn’t want to live up to his end of the contract by not getting’ his legs waxed then he is completely fired from the GZW. If he even tries to step foot into the Coliseum as a payin’ customer, I want his ass removed with the quickness! If he tries to resist, use extreme measures.

The police officer nods his head and begins watching the doors more intently. Tate beckons Pimp to follow him as he heads toward the ring area.

Tate: You know as well as I know, Pimp. That Smooth is a sneaky bastard and I already heard of talk by Magic backstage about petitionin’ for Smooth to get back into the GZW in any capacity possible. I want you to talk to your buddies, Dean Fisher and Will, and see what they have heard about that Chump cameraman and Crystal. They are both still contracted to GZW, so if they want to cause any problems it will be no issue to deal with them swiftly.

Pimp nods his head in agreement as he shifts the Intercontinental Championship belt to his left shoulder from his right.

Tate: (he pats Pimp on his shoulder) Handle that my friend while I deal with some other pressin’ matters. Like I always say, there’s gonna be Trouble, Trouble!!

The camera scans the crowded Coliseum as “Timebomb” by Godsmack rocks over the loud speakers. Various signs, banners, and posters are seen. One fan’s sign reads, “Me and my 30 Big Macs are Deacon Kane’s mystery opponent!!” Another sign states, “Kandi Fortune should be the next centerfold for Playpen magazine!!”

Fortune: Welcome fans to Monday Manslaughter! In case you don’t know, I’m Kandi Fortune, play-by-play announcer and by my side as always is my partner and color commentator, Alexander Hunt!

Hunt: “Cause baby I’m a thug”!

Fortune: Huh?

Hunt: On nothing at all, Kandi!

Fortune: We have an action packed show this week, but the talk of the wrestling world is who will be facing Deacon Kane in the main event for his GZW Heavyweight Championship?

Hunt: I personally think it’s going to be Happy Sumo! I mean, the guy deserves some kind of recognition other than causing three seafood places to shutdown in one week due to the fact he ate them out of business!

Fortune: Anyway! Let’s get right into our first match!

---Freak Mauler vs. “Mr. Risky Business” Epic---

Profit:

“So you will do this little favour for me will you?”

Man:

“It’s not professional Mr. Profit! He has medical evidence of his fitness.”

Profit:

“But YOU have the final say, and you know what that say is going to be, right? We wouldn’t have to want to make any unfortunate ‘redundancies’ in GZW’s physio department!”

“Yes Mr. Profit.”

Fortune: I guess Pitfighter wins the match by DQ!

Standing with her back to the camera is the shapely Fox Giovianni standing in a doorway. The occupant of the room is unseen as Fox is blocking the view, but it is apparent she is speaking to someone.

“Hello Mr. Murakame.”

“Hi… this is a formality, right?”

“Well no actually Mr. Murakame! Your tests show that you don’t pass GZW’s injury requirements to return to the ring!”

Firefly:

“WHAT! I’m fine! My own doctor said so!”

Doc:

“With all due respect to your GP Mr. Murakame, the GZW policy we are currently using does not allow you to return to the ring.”

Firefly:

“What GZW policy? I smell something fishy, ‘doctor’!”

Doc:

“We are not at liberty to tell you the current policy Mr. Murakame, but after consulting an advisor, I cannot clear you to wrestle!”

Firefly:

“An advisor, eh? I can bet that that advisor isn’t medical! This isn’t over doctor, I’m going to my lawyers!”

Doc:

“I am SO sorry Mr. Murakame… if it weren’t for my wife and kids…”

---Tag Team Championship Match: The Fierys vs. The Haires---

Fortune: Our next match will be the two father and son teams of the GZW! It was Nazal and Willie Haire who won the Tag Team titles two weeks ago from the former champions T-Rex and Sincere due to Sincere screwing his partner and lifelong enemy, T-Rex!

Hunt: This matchup has got to be the most boring match in Tag Team history! The Haires don’t deserve to hold the titles while Dameon and Hades Fiery don’t even deserve to be in this company!

The crowd boos at hearing the news as Dameon and Hades look on wearily.

Fortune: First, Billy Bond now Willie and Nazal Haire!

Hunt: Talk about spring cleaning! And winter has just started!

Profit: (looking at the Fierys’) Since the Haires were the GZW Tag Team Champions at the time of their release, I suppose it would only be fair to give the belts to the last team to have defeated them. And that would be you two.

The crowd cheers loud as Hades pumps his arms in the air to ignite the crowd. Dameon simply gazes at Profit.

Profit: But then that wouldn’t be fair to them!

As Profit points behind them, Outlaw Wales and prey come out the crowd, slide into the ring and attack the Fierys’. Outlaw clotheslines Dameon from behind and immediately goes to stomping on him. Prey comes behind Hades and drops him with an inverted DDT. Prey mounts him and immediately pounds on Hades’ head.

Fortune: The StormRiders have stormed the ring and are laying out Dameon and Hades!

Hunt: It’s like Mr.Profit told them in their HKWF meeting, time for them to grasp the opportunity he has given them!

Profit: (watching the beat down) So I suppose in fairness, Fierys, in the near future look to be battling the StormRiders for the vacant Tag Team Championship!

Profit, Fox, and the StormRiders leave the ring and the carnage they have caused. The crowd lets them know of their disapproval with boos.

---Commercial Break---

Intro:

Tension is at an all-time high in the GZW. The surrounding presence of the enemy has weighed heavy on the superstars of GZW 2K1.

(Images of Deacon Kane chokeslamming Smooth Operator Billy Bond flashes, as an image of Len DuBray chained at the wrist to Firefly, throwing him over the top rope, dislocating Firefly’s shoulder, and the image of El Gambit coshing Pitfighter fades in and out.)

What chances will the superstars take to bring balance back to GroundZero Wrestling 2K1? Can they afford not to give it their all?

(The faces of T-Rex, Magic, Jason Makavelli, and the Fierys flash by quickly. The images of the Peacekeepers—Diamond Sledge, Firefly, Gideon, and Nathaniel Davis—soon follow.)

---Back from the Commercial---

Fortune: That wraps up another edition of Monday Manslaughter! For Alexander Hunt, I’m Kandi Fortune! Goodnight...wait a minute!

“My Way” by Limp Bizkit plays as “The CareerKiller” Maxx Pain comes out to the ring with a microphone in hand. The disliked wrestler by everyone draws a semi-positive reaction from the capacity crowd.

Pain: Tate Troublesome!! You think you finished me off? You have created a monster in Maxx Pain! I know your history, Tate. I know what great things you have done in wrestling but it don’t mean squat to me!! So I know that you will not back down from a challenge. I don't care who you send out to the ring, I want one of your Bad Influence scumbags out here and I want them out here now!!!

Fortune: Maxx Pain is calling out for any Bad Influence member!

Hunt: He should be careful what he wishes for!

Out comes the “Wrestling Franchise” Monarch. Monarch slides into the ring. Pain with several rapid right hands rocks Monarch's head. Pain with a clothesline sends Monarch out of the ring.

But sneaking into the ring from behind Pain is the “Jade Dragon”. Sincere stomps on the back of Pain's head. And like a pack of piranhas, Monarch, Pimp and Sincere jump on Pain in the center of the ring.

Fortune: Bad Influence is attacking Maxx Pain, three on one!

Hunt: Add one more to that because look who's coming down to the ring! It's the GZW Heavyweight Champion Deacon Kane!

Fortune: That’s our time folks!
