12 March 2002

 

 

“Timebomb” by Godsmack rips through the Coliseum as pyro ignites around the entranceway and down the rampway signaling another episode of Tuesday Crimson. The camera pans the sold out GZW facility in downtown Atlanta, Georgia showing various signs, banners, and posters. One poster reads, “Happy Sumo stole my sign!!” While another banner is of the three members of Pride—Adam Cage, Justin Sharp, and Maxx Pain. The words “Pride Is Forever” are spray painted over the banner.

 

Pike: Welcome fans to GZW Tuesday Night Crimson! Joining me at ringside is Alexander Hunt! We are five days away from Fallout: Zero Tolerance only on Pay Per View! We have an abbreviated show for…

Suddenly, a skinny bearded man comes down to the ring with a Yankees jersey.

Pike: Oh god! It can't be! It's Mince Musso! I thought he's no longer in the wrestling world!

Hunt: What is he doing here?

The fans boo as the former wrestling writer enters the ring with the mic.

Musso: Oh, I know why you fans are booing? Cuz the GZW is predictable! It's got a pattern! Maybe what the GZW needs is a couple of big apples! (Musso grabs his crotch)

Pike: What the hell is he talking about? Predictable? This is the GZW! We don't have "sports entertainers" here. We've got competitors who battle it out each and every week, whether it is in the ring or out of it!

Musso: Think about it! For example, this whole deal with Billy Bond and Deacon Kane. One show, Deacon attacks Smooth. The next show, Smooth attacks Deacon. They fight at a pay per view. Who wants to see that? (fans chant "shut the hell up")

Pike: What? That just shows the rivalry of those two men!

Musso: Ya see, Mince Musso knows a lot about pro wrestling! I started the whole wrestling craze! (fan boo and chant "bullshit") Who else gave you such great moments like Arvid Daquette winning a world title?!? (fans boo) I mean that was hella not predictable!

Pike: Yeah, because we didn't think that even you could be that stupid Mince!

Musso: You know what the GZW needs? They need Mince Musso! They need to have an angle where a long and leggy valet will be engaged to a flabby son of a wrestling legend. They are to get married until they realize that the valet is a result of a one night stand of her fiancé’s father, making them half sister and brother! HA! Brother and sister getting married! That's a ratings bonanza and it ain't predictable! Also, the valet gets pregnant and no one knows who the father is. It will end up that I will be the father of the child! (fans boo) That will be great for the GZW! (OOC: all this took place in the old WCW during their dyin’ days under Vince Russo’s reign…Tate)

Pike: Oh gee, that sounds swell!

Musso: Mince Musso knows all about great wrestling ideas! How about a Viagra on a pole match? What about having a former Ultimate Fighting Champion type guy coming in and beating guys with one punch? Maybe just have a whole lot of swerves and plots that make no sense, just for the sake of not being predictable! Yeah! That's the ticket!

“I AMMMM NUMBERRRRR ONEEEEEEE”

The fans erupt as the “Champion of the People” steps out onto the stage. The Enforcer of the GZW walks down the ramp.

Pike: As some fat, blithering Oklahoman would say, "business is about to pick up!"

Hunt: Or "boy, this is as hot as my barbecue sauce!"

T-Rex steps into the ring. He grabs the mic from Musso.

Rex: Normally this is a job for the GZW Entertainment Franchise Nathaniel Davis (fans pop), but I got tired of hearing all this garbage! Who in the hell do you think you are? Talking shit about the GZW needing to be less predictable?

Musso: You don't scare me! I'm Minnie Mu! I got da Big Apples, baby!

Rex looks to the crowd and smirks. The Enforcer grabs Musso by the throat, lifts him up and slams him on his back with Hell From Above (chokeslam). The fans erupt. Rex mockingly dusts himself off.

Rex: Oh, I bet you didn't see that coming. I guess I ain't that predictable after all. But I bet you all know who the Enforcer would love to call out to the ring right now? (fans yell out Magic) Hmm? Should I call Magic out? I mean, I wouldn't want to be predictable...aw, what the hell! Magic, get your ass out here!

“Bittersweet” hits the speakers. The fans erupt in boos as the Forsaken One Magic steps out onto the stage and walks down the ramp. Magic slides into the ring under the bottom rope. The Forsaken One and the Enforcer stand toe to toe. The fans are on their feet.

Pike: Yes, this may be "predictable", but who cares?

Rex and Magic stand nose to nose. The two men exchange words.

Pike: The two former friends, now two bitter enemies!

Hunt: They might have been friends, but Magic dropped that loser T-Rex!

Pike: The former fan favorite Magic gets in T-Rex's face. The two men explode with each man trading rights and lefts! T-Rex now getting the upper hand unloading a ton of right hands on Magic. Irish whip by T-Rex. Magic off the ropes and gets a face full of Deceit (superkick)! (fans erupt) Magic back up to his feet and the Enforcer is all over him! T-Rex pounding on Magic's face with stiff forearm shots! With Magic slumped and sitting in the corner, T-Rex backs up, charges in for a running knee to the face, but Magic back up, nails T-Rex in the face with a roundhouse kick! Wowsers!

Hunt: Eat that, Champion of the People!

Magic stomps on the downed Rex. The fans boo as the Forsaken One looks around at the crowd, the look of disdain on his face.

Pike: Look at him! You can just see the resentment and hatred on Magic's face! He can't stand how the fans like the Enforcer!

Hunt: That's right! Magic's a good-looking young lad! Why isn't he the Champion of the People? What's wrong with Magic besides the fact he’s a Fiery?

Magic stomps on Rex, then rips off Rex's own shirt and chokes him with it. The Forsaken One lifts Rex up and hammers him with stiff right hands, each shot with hate behind it. Irish whip by Magic sends Rex to the ropes. T-Rex bounces back and ducks a clothesline from Magic. The Forsaken One turns around. Rex kicks him in the midsection and drops him with a double arm DDT. The fans are on their feet as Rex lifts Magic up. The Enforcer hoists Magic up above his head ready for Carnivores Press (gorilla press into a bodyslam), but then...

Pike: Look! Here comes Magic's wife Steph! She slides into the ring, grabs Magic's leg and pulls him out of T-Rex's hands to avoid the Carnivores Press! (fans boo)

Steph and Magic quickly roll out of the ring and head back up the ramp. “Number One” by Nelly hits the speakers as Rex stands on the turnbuckles, motioning for Magic to get back in the ring.

Pike: When these two finally get into the ring, Magic versus T-Rex won't just be a "grudge match"; it's going to be an all out war!

 

---Chris Sharp---

(The scene opens up to show Chris Sharp standing backstage talking to a group of workers before waving them off and turning to the camera.)

"I'm going to make this short and sweet as I must attend to a future matter. T-Rex is the man to face my son at Zero Tolerance, and I ask Rex to please beat some sense into Justins over blown head. Maybe after he losses a match or two he will come to his senses. If not, well....something will have to happen."

"As for me, I will be at Zero Tolerance and anxiously anticipating the matches of this card. GZW is the dream of so many men and I am more than happy to be here with you people who fight for the good and justice of the world. I wish you all a good night!"

(The scene fades out.)

---Kid Kaos with a ringside appearance---

** Front 2 Back hits a speakers and Kid Kaos walks out of the backstage area in his street chlothes. He has a cocky smile across his face. He walks up the steps and steps into the ring. He climbs da rope and looks arounfd da arena with his cocky lil smile.**

Kid Kaos: Hello to all my fans in .......Were ever da hell we are.(Fans boo.) You know I would usually come out here and say how great i am and how much you suck, but I'm not going to do that. I'm in too good of a mood to be upset. You see it seems dat good ol' Jake Helmsley hasn't been heard from since I bashed him over the head with a light tube last week. And I'm not going to lie, that shot I gave him felt like I put him out for a long time.

     But tonight I needed a night off. Tonight is a night of relaxation for da Kid of Kaosity. Now I don't have anything to do tonight, so I've decided that to relax, I'm gonna grab me a soda or too, pull up a chair, and park my ass right there.(He points at ringside.) I feel what better way to kick back then by wacthing live GZW action from a better seat than any of you dumb ass fans can afford. So, if anyone needs me, I'll be right here, chillin, maxin and relaxin, just me and my 2 liter of rootbeer.

**Kid Kaos steps out of the ring, grabs the chair out from right under the timekeepers ass and takes a seat at ringside.**

---Outside The Coliseum---

[The custom built 2002 Chevy Trailblazer low rider pulls into the GZW parking lot.  The driver side door swings open as James steps out dressed in a pair of khaki slacks and a red pull over shirt, topping this all off is a black leather jacket.  He closes the door and makes his way up the main entrance.  Before he can get inside Weston Bentley stumbles out the door looking behind him as if someone was following him.  He looks back and bumps into James almost knocking him down.  Weston jumps but James calms him down.]

 

James: Chill Weston.  What’s up?

 

Weston: It’s nothing James.

 

James: Yea ok.

 

Weston: Why are you here?  You got the night off.

 

James: I just thought I would come and check out the action in the ring tonight.

 

Weston: Well while I have you here why don’t I get your opinion on the upcoming PPV.

 

James: Go for it Weston.

 

Weston: Well in less than a week you step into the ring in a battle royal for a chance at the CCW Regional Title.  What are you doing to get ready for this match?

 

James: I’m doing what I’ve always done to get ready for a match.  I’m working out and getting in shape.  I’m really looking forward to stepping into that match with some of the greats here.

 

Weston: Who are you most looking forward to facing?

 

James: Probably “The Entertaining Franchise” Nathaniel Davis and all the other “Old Guard.”

 

Weston: Where’s Nicole?

 

James: She’s at home sick with a cold.

 

Weston: Well I hope she gets better. 

 

James: Yea so do I.  She’s such a baby when she gets sick.

 

Weston: Well good luck and I’ll cya after the show.

 

James: Cya round Weston.

 

[James walks into the building as the scene closes out.]

---Family name---

Eric, also known to the wrestling world at large as Kombat, paces back in forth in the dressing room of the RoccWylders. He is dressed in denim shorts and a brand new RoccWylder promotional t-shirt. Neither James, also known as Desecrator, or Nicole have arrived to the Coliseum yet.

“What in the world is going on? I tried to steer clear of all this mess and go at this alone. I have made a name for myself without relying on the crutch of being who I am. In my short time here I have managed to blindly turn away from the problems that have plagued my family, but now it seems to be getting harder and harder to turn away. I hear how the other wrestlers trash my family’s name; how night after night I watch these so-called superstars bash my sister.”

“The time is now for me to stop worrying about who I am and just be who I am. Damn it, I am a Fortune and nothing will ever change that. Rebellion, Justin Sharp, even Magic want to smear my family’s name well they will see that the Fortunes are far more resilient than they think.”

Eric picks up the cordless phone and dials a few numbers. The other end rings for a while until it is answered on the fourth ring by a female voice.

“Hey, Nikki, this is Eric. I want to see Kandi. It’s time that I stand up and be a Fortune.”

---BattleCry and Invincible---

(The scene opens to both Derek Ashton a.k.a BattleCry and Peter Gamble a.k.a Invincible standing in front of the official backdrop of Fallout: Zero Tolerance. They are both wearing that official promotional t-shirt of the pay-per-view event.)

Gamble: First of all before we get into this, I would like to send my deep felt apologizes out to the team of the Fierys, Hades and Dameon. The actions that myself and my teammate exhibited on last weeks Travesty were not like us.

Ashton: The chairshots and blatant disregard for the officials can only be attributed to getting caught up in the moment. Those actions can never be excused. We wish you all the luck in the tag team tournament this Friday on Travesty and know that we will be backstage watching and cheering you on.

Gamble: Next Sunday both Derek and myself have the great chance to compete in a pinfall or submission 25-man battle royale. The prize is to be recognized as the GZW’s number one contender to the Combined Championship Wrestling’s Regional Title. Although we are not going in as a team, Derek and I plan to give the fans out there 100% of the wrestling spirit that we have.

Ashton: So from Happy Sumo to Supreme Team to Eric Montair, expect nothing least but the best from us. (Looks to his friend and partner) And if the situation arises that you and I are in the ring together, Peter, I want you to know that the best man will win.

Gamble: (smiling at his friend) Without a shadow of a doubt, Derek.

(The two men shake hands as the scene fades.)

---The Fierys---

Hades and Dameon come into view at the open of the scene.  They are both getting a few drinks and talking to each other.  They are suddenly interrupted by Aqua who makes her way to them.

 

Aqua:  “Hey guys!  Mrs. Fie…  I mean mom told me to come over here with you guys.  She was going to the front office and didn’t want me alone.”

 

Hades:  “Good, I don’t want you alone ever again!  Who knows when Magic could strike back!”

 

Aqua:  “Honey, it was never proved Magic attacked me.  I mean, he loves me like a sister, which I am.  I know that he wouldn’t do a thing.  And besides, this man was a little bigger than Magic.  I didn’t seem like his figure.  And the hair, it looked fake to me.  I know it might sound crazy, but Magic wouldn’t do anything to harm me.  He might be having problems with Pimp and his friends, but I know Magic.  It doesn’t matter how mad, sad, happy, or just gloomy, he would NEVER hurt anyone in his family.

 

Dameon:  “Aqua, Magic has done some bad things in his past, and I have as well.  But everything leads to him.  Magic has problems, Aqua.  He needs to get some help.  But until he is proved innocent, you are to stay away from him, you hear?”

 

Aqua:  “I’ll do what I damn well please.  It’s funny how I know your son and brother more than you!  He is your family for Christ’s sake.  Magic learned to trust you again, Dameon.  Now I think it’s time you forgive him as well!  Shit happens, and sometimes it doesn’t smell good.  But you will have to deal with it until you flush it down the toilet.  He is a Fiery, like it or not.  And if you can accept the fact that I trust him, when I was the one attacked by ‘him’ then I think it is you who needs the help!”

 

Aqua suddenly walks away from the scene, a little angry and her husband and stepfather.  Dameon and Hades look at each other and shrug their shoulders.

 

Hades:  “So, it looks like we have made it to the semi-finals for the Tag Titles!  Travesty we fight the Supreme Team.”

 

Dameon:  “Yep.  I am so sick of getting close to the championships, then losing it.  We are the longest running team!  We deserve those championships more than anyone.  It is we who made the tag division!  Not Epic and Eclipse!  Hades, we need to win this thing.  We deserve it and I am not going to let this shot just slide through my hands.”

 

Hades:  “I agree.  The Supreme Team is going to feel what it is like to wrestle against true tag-team legends.  Like it or not, we are the best damn team in GZW.  We have been held back for too long.  The Fierys time to shine is coming soon.  I am sick of being known as Magic’s family, or just another team.  We need to make a name for ourselves, bigger than it already has been.  And I don’t care how we do it, but we have waited too damn long.”

 

Dameon:  “Patience is what we have had.  And patience is what we have no longer.  Either we get our damn shot at the gold, or we force GZW to give us the shot!  But no need to get all worked up about it.  We will get those titles soon.  It’s not a worry in my mind.  Let’s go now.  We don’t want to leave Aqua alone for long.”

 

The father/son team grab their drinks and leave the scene as it fades.

---Suc Mi Phi---

On the roof of the Suc Mi Phi fraternity house on the campus of Georgia Tech, Rick Samson and Brent Wellington III are having themselves a barbeque. A small grill is between them while on each side of the College Crew is a huge keg. Running from the spout of each keg are long straws that both young men have wrapped around their necks several times and ending in their mouths.

Samson: Dawg, there is nothing like a day off from classes as well as work. Add to that Spring Break is right around the corner.

BW3: (flipping some hamburgers on the grill) Ah, Spring Break. String bikinis and thongs, thongs, thongs!!! Remember last year in Miami and we got to see Britney perform, dude?

The hamburger BW3 flips doesn’t quite make it onto the grill but instead hits the roof of the house. BW3 looks to Samson, who is looking the opposite direction and sucking beer from his straw. BW3 scoops the hamburger with the spatula, licks the patty several times, and places it on a bun that is on a plate near Samson.

Samson: (looking at BW3) How could I forget? Cause of you we aren’t allowed anywhere near 100 yards of Britney Spears. Great. Burgers done.

Samson picks up the hamburger and takes a huge bite from it. BW3 looks at him and grins slyly.

BW3: Dude, that restraining order is totally bogus!! How was I to know that she was singing that song to that lame Justin Timberlake and not me? I’m telling you, Samson, Britney wants my body!!

Samson: (takes another bite) Sure and someone other than me is going to win that battle royale on Sunday. Anyway, shuttup and cook. These burgers are delicious, especially the seasoning.

BW3 sucks his straw holding in a laugh.

---What Money Can Buy-Manic Depression and “Money Maker” Dice Morgan---

[Inside the jammed packed GZW Coliseum Manic Depression and Dice Morgan are seen standing in the backstage area talking it over about the tag tournament.]

 

Manic: We just have to get through two more teams and then we’re in the finals.

 

Dice: It’s obvious that we’re the ones that are going to win this tournament because we’re the only people in it with talent.  Those tag titles are as good as ours.

 

Manic: They sure are.  Epic and Eclipse better watch out because their reign is coming shorter.

 

Dice: At Zero Tolerance we’ll see exactly who the better team is and I know it’ll be us.

 

Manic: Damn right.  Lets go get a drink man.

 

[The two walk off as the scene fades.]

~~~ GZW Television Champion and Light-Heavyweight Champion ~~~

~~~ ‘El Gambit’ Santiago De Touwce ~~~

 

El Gambit stands in front of a large official El Gambit logo. He has a bar table to the left, and there is a bottle of San Miguel and a bottle of Jose Cuervo Gold tequila with a shot glass next to it. Both title belts, the TV and the LH, are draped over the back of a chair. His brown leather jacket is draped over the back of another chair, and he is wearing faded jeans with the metal codpiece, cowboy boots, and a brand new promotional vest with ‘Lone Wolf’ on the front in a font resembling blood dripping from it (only $24.99 from www.gzwshop.com).

 

El G picks up the beer, toasts to the camera, and then takes a deep gulp.

 

El G:

“Hola! This is El Gambit’s private party! I’m celebrating my upcoming victories over those debilucho ninos in Pride. Cerveza y tequila, real man’s drinks! Sadly, I don’t have any alchopops or cider, so Pride wouldn’t be able to come!”

 

El G takes another long swig.

 

El G:

“Ah! Es bueno! Muy bueno! You see, I can celebrate already because I am SO confident of taking down those two idiotas! Tonight I will retain my Light-Heavyweight title against Justin Sharp, and at Zero Tolerance I will retain my Television title against Maxx Pain. You two debilucho ninos can steal and mock my catchphrases, and spout your verbal mierda all day long, but it doesn’t alter the fact that neither of you have the talent, ability or experience to topple me! I am El Gambit damnit! I am Gibraltar’s greatest wrestler, el hombre, el doble campeon, the lone wolf: ‘El Gambit’ Santiago De Touwce!”

 

El G grabs the shot of tequila, slams it down and glares back into the camera.

 

El G:

“Last week’s Viernes Noches Parodia was just a taste of how callous I can be, Justin Sharp! The light-heavyweight division is MY division! I DOMINATE this division, and like my predecessor and fellow HKWF ‘real’ wrestling colleague before me, I am unbeatable in MY division. I am honoured to hold the title held by ‘Lone Gunman’ John Taylor, and keeping the GZW belt firmly in the hands of John Profit’s HKWF. Justin Sharp, you are entering MY division, MY world, and you cannot beat me for I am the light-heavyweight division here! You and your nino Pride friends really think you’re the shit, and really think you are powerful and ruthless, but you are nothing compared to me! I am vicious, cruel, and evil… and unlike you idiotas, intelligent. Nastiness is so much more callous when one is intelligent! Look at the past record of Sincere! Sincere is a man of my own heart; a man I admire. I will become a Sincere; you will fade into a nonentity, you and all your Pride amigos!”

 

El G pours himself another tequila shot, and knocks it back.

 

El G:

“Ah! Es muy bueno! And onto you Maxx Pain, the disillusioned tonto who actually thinks he ever deserved the TV title. The man who has the audacity to claim the title should be his! Tonto, beat El Gambit and you deserve the title… but that has never happened and never will! I am the man responsible for making you have the shortest title reign in GZW history: it was me who took the gold that you had craved for. Do you know what? That felt good! It felt so good to take your dream away from you… and YOU call YOURSELF the dream stealer? Ha! It was El Gambit who stole your dream, and subsequently cemented himself as the TV champion! It was sweet, so sweet, to see how utterly devastated you were when I took your title, and I can see the same desire for gold, to prove yourself, as was in your eyes that night. To steal YOUR dreams again will be just as sweet, perhaps even sweeter after all that has happened between us since! I don’t have dreams like you Maxx, I make my own dreams come true and those two title belts over there are proof. You, you debilucho dreamer, will only ever have your dreams, because you will never take my belts from me! My possession of gold is not a dream like you; mine is real! Ha! It will be El Gambit who steals your dreams from you at Zero Tolerance, because you’re going down, debilucho!”

 

El G sits down on one of the chairs, and picks up the San Miguel. He takes a swig, and then holds I it up to the camera.

 

El G:

“So here’s to Pride… the stable that will be destroyed when they are ravaged by the Lone Wolf! Humiliated when they are utterly beaten by Gibraltar’s greatest wrestler! Devastated when they are bettered by el hombre. Tearful when they are still goldless at the hands of el doble campeon. Demoralised, battered and bruised, and humbled when they are pinned for the 1, 2, 3 by ‘El Gambit’ Santiago De Touwce!”

 

El Gambit sneers evilly as the scene fades out.

 

 

 

 

 

{brief pause, and El G leaves the table}

 

 

 

 

 

El G (Off Camera):

“So how much were San Miguel and Jose Cuervo paying me for the product placement?

 

 

“Whaddaya mean the camera is still on?

 

 

“MIERDA! Cut that from the final version, si?”

  

 

{fade}

---A major deal---

 

[The scene opens up inside the deserted hallways of the GZW2k1 Coliseum.  Jimmy Williams is storming down the halls still fuming from the words spoken by the Entertaining Franchise.  Weston Bently enters into the hallway with a cameraman close in toe and runs directly into Jimmy causing himself to fall to the ground.  Jimmy stands over the fallen man and smiles evilly almost daring Weston to say anything.]

 

Jimmy: What’s the matter Weston?  Scared?

 

Weston: What do you want Jimmy?

 

Jimmy: I want you to tape this and take it to the self proclaimed Entertaining Franchise.

 

[Weston tells the cameraman to start rolling as he gets to his feet slowly.]

 

Jimmy: Nathaniel Davis you want to run your mouth about me?  Telling me that I’m nothing?  You have some nerve comparing me to my older brother Nathan.  I’m NOTHING like me older brother.  I’m better than he ever hopes to be.  Why the hell would I want to be an Enforcer when I can be The Real Deal. 

 

[Weston starts to say something but is cut off before he can.]

 

Jimmy: You want me to step up to the plate at Zero Tolerance and push you around?  You want to make it big at MY expense?  Think again Careermaker because at Zero Tolerance you will find yourself just like McNasty found himself this past week, a bloody mess.  So Davis bring your little ass down to the ring at ZT and I’ll be happy to kick it all over that ring.  After I get through with you Sunday we’ll see exactly who is real.  Tell ya what Nathaniel.  If your man enough why wait till Sunday?  I’ll meet you in the ring tonight.

 

[Jimmy shoves Weston back into the wall as he walks off.  The scene fades to black soon after.]

---Eric “Complete Chaos” Montair---

 

:: The camera pans out to a view of the entire stadium as people frantically make there way to their seats. The lights completely black out and a single image appears over the Zero-Tron. The mask of Novacaine lights the screen as it rests on a metal support beam.  A voice echoes across the arena, seemingly as if Nova himself is sitting next to you. ::

 

“ GZW, the herald of chaos has arrived, I bring you news, brutal news! This franchise is nearly in my fucking grasp! You may not realize, but since I have made my return to this hole my disease has plagued it. Magic has been fully consumed, and he is not the only one! Hatred is filling the damned souls of these mere mortals and it doesn’t stop until you are all one of the syndicated, those who have let go of there beginnings and are ready for the means to an bitter fucking end. ”

 

“ Do you even wonder why at the peak of my career I disappeared from this place? It was never damage suffered by the hands of these sheep! Fuck no, in fact it is the voices that build in my head. Not because their there, but because I wouldn’t listen, but now I have cleared my mind. There is nothing left to say, but there is much to accomplish! Which, of course, is the damned desecration of GZW as you know it. Once I attain Number one Contender status I will take my plague to all those in the CCW, it starts only with the championship, and then I will spread my disease to all the nations until the whole world renounces the name of their god in place for life’s ill pleasures and the faithful sin they encompass! ”

 

“ But I will leave it all to the first step towards the road to ruins, the Battle Royal. I won’t waste my time even mentioning the sheep I will demolish. All those will see the true brutality of Eric Montair, complete chaos is in fucking order! ”

 

:: The Zero-Tron pulls back to show Eric sitting high atop the rafters with his mask laying beside him. Eric stands and balances on the narrow beam keeping him from falling onto the crowd. In a reckless regard for his own safety he walks across the beam without so much as thinking of the people below him. He retrieves the mask on makes his way down. ::

---Justin Sharp---

 

(Justin is shown looking on with entertaining eyes to Crimson.)

"The night grows closer, ever closer. The night when all you GZW oppressors will finally see the true legend that I am! You will see that I am the future, I am the way to go. And I will show you all this at the expense of "The Enforcer" T-Rex!"

(The crowd boos as Justin shakes his head in frustration.)

"Yes, Rex you must feel it you have to know that soon enough the time will come when you stand before me as an equal....no! You will stand before me as a loser. I will be the superior, I will be The Man, the Myth, the Legend! I will truly be the "Living Legend", the "Larger Than Life" Justin sharp! The "Old Guard" has come out, Rex won the draw...the "GZW Enforcer" is the first to fall! Even if you dont want to admit it Rex...my time is now. And not you, not Sincere...not Kandi Fortune, not even the dead Tate Troublesome can stop that from happening!"

(The crowd boos louder.)

"Rex, I will fight for my Pride. I will fight to prove myself, and I will prevail! Loss is not acceptable....My temper may be great but what you will encounter will be my rage, and I will have Zero Tolerance for failure! Oh Rex, hehehe, soon you and the rest of the "Old Guard" will know, forever, and ever, that I am Sharp-4-Life!!"

(Justin smirks cockily as the scene fades out.)

~~~ ‘Dreamstealer’ Maxx Pain and ‘El Gambit’ Santiago DeTouwce meet again! ~~~

 

El Gambit is walking down the corridors backstage of Crimson. He is wearing his usual attire of a black vest underneath a brown leather jacket. Around his waist, partially covering his metal codpiece is the TV title. His faded jeans have a slight rip in the left knee. Over his left shoulder is the LH title, and over the other is his long, snake-like plait. As he walks with a scowl on his face, his brown suede boots make loud click noises on the concrete.

 

El Gambit:

“Es mierda that I have to defend my Light-heavyweight title this close to Zero Tolerance! When I find out which person in the booking committee is doing this to me, they’re going down!”

 

El G is so distracted in thought that he bumps right into the overbearing figure that is Maxx Pain! Maxx wears leather pants with ‘Maxx Pain’ written on each pants leg. He wears a Black t-shirt with “GZW’s Pride” written on the front and on the back he has “Dream Stealer Maxx Pain” and “Pride is Forever.” El G staggers back, but quickly regains his composure with a nasty sneer.

 

El Gambit:

“Mierda! If it isn't GZW's biggest debilucho, Maxx Pain! You here to watch your nino amigo go down to el hombre tonight when I defend my Light-Heavyweight title against Justin Sharp?”

 

Maxx Pain:

“I am here to watch you get your punk ass kicked, and tonight will just be the beginning of your title losses!”

 

El Gambit:

“Well ‘amigo’, we'll see about that! Tonight, Gibraltar's greatest wrestler, el hombre, the lone wolf, el doble campeon, ‘El Gambit’ Santiago De Touwce faces one of the smallest challenges of his life against your debilucho amigo! Then at Zero Tolerance, it is even less of a challenge when I take on your debilucho arse which I have already proved that I can beat! There is no way that either of you Pride idiotas can ever beat me! I'm HKWF to the bone, I'm hardcore and you idiota STILL don't understand what that means!”

 

Maxx Pain:

“You see Gambit, that's where you are wrong, but you see you were right about one thing you have proven that you can beat me, but did you do it alone, hell no... but you see come March 17th you will be on the receiving end of  one hell of a Raging Pain ass kicking, but tonight if you are not careful then you will be on the receiving end of a Sharp Drop. You see come Zero Tolerance you will find out that Pride is no joke, you will find out just why I am Maxx Pain and you will find out that I am GZW's Pride. So come Zero Tolerance you better give you soul to the lord because your punk ass and your belt will belong to ME!”

 

El Gambit:

“Grande talk for such a patetico debilucho! Your mucho grande height and mucho, mucho grande mouth doesn’t mean shit in the ring, and week in week out Maxx Pain racks up the losses! I have been el doble campeon for longer than you can dream of! I will not lose tonight and I will not lose at Zero Tolerance! What you idiota fail to realise is that I am ‘old guard’ as you put it for a reason! I am no peackeeping idiota, no high-flying bug, no insane pregnant woman beater, no dinosaur wannabe! I am old guard because I was prepared to do anything it takes to get to the top! Align myself with Union Jack? Take out debilucho after debilucho with my cosh? Fly through a steel cage to the mat below? All these things and more make me what I am: el doble campeon... come back to me nino when you've accomplished a tenth of what I have!”

 

Maxx Pain:

“Speaking of Dreams… When the smoke clears at the PPV you will realize that all of your hopes and dreams of ever becoming a contender will be stopped dead in its tracks by the Dream Stealer Maxx Pain. This is just going to be the beginning of the execution of the Old Guard, you see debilucho, Pain is just a state of mind, but when you step in the ring with Maxx Pain you will be forever bound by eternal Damnation, because one thing is for sure and that is Pride is Forever.”

 

El Gambit:

“Well we'll see about that! Your Pride may be forever, but is it enough to beat El Gambit? Think about what I've said, and you'll realize exactly who and what you threw away when you rejected El Gambit and forced him to become the lone wolf! I will utterly ravage your amigo tonight, and tear you to shreds at Zero Tolerance! See you there debilucho!”

 

El G bumps Maxx as he goes past him, sneers, and then walks away. Maxx just looks at Gambit as he walks off with and evil look.

 

Maxx Pain:

"That is if you make it to Zero Tolerance!"

---Chains---

The cameras switch on and the screen wires and it shows a wreck of what seems an old house. It has its windows shattered and a doorknob just hanging and a few screen cracks and very dusty. The camera then cuts to chains. Chains has on his wrestling attire of his black and white face paint and black tights and black boots his hair is combed and he has on his leather trenchcoat. His hands are gloved. He walks forward and kicks the door open. In his hands is a mic. He walks in and finds a small chair. He hoists it up and tosses it at a door leading into another room. The door cracks as chains smiles and walks right through it. He then finds a cheap vase already half broken he then pulls out a medium sized stone and tosses the vase into the air and then throws a stone right into it making it smash in mid air. Chains walks on into the dining room. He then grabs a chair and seemingly powerbombs it through the dining table. Chains then walks on and moves into a living room. There is only one ripped sofa left in this deserted home. He picks it up and then tosses it at the wall cracking half of it. He then walks into the bedrooms and takes a bedroom pillow and pulls out a blade he then cuts it into pieces and then walks back down and kicks the back door right off its hinges. He then walks into the garden and starts to speak.

Chains: Goldeneye, you just saw me in action, exactly the way you will see me in action at Fallout Zero Tolerance and just as the name suggests I shall not tolerate you one bit. I know you feel the same way and I respect your feelings goldeneye but I also respect the fact that I am the best damn wrestler ever born. Whoooh.

Chains: When we move into that house you will have to abolish me. See its not just a 1 2 3 and then a ding ding ding. Hell no. Its much much more than all that. It’s a 1 2 3 4 5 6 ding ding ding. Now a person like you who cant even pin me 1 2 3 well lets look at it clearly how the hell? are you going to pull off a victory on me by pinning me 1 2 3 4 5 6 ? It wont happen.

Chains: Its not just that I mean goldeneye this is for the EXTREME HEAVY WEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP. Damn it. I wont let you screw up my chances to become the champ. The championship will be right around my waist when im done with you. Now not only will that humiliate you but teach you a lesson in learning why I am the man and why I will dominate.

Chains: You may think im just handing you bull but do not worry everybody will learn once I grab that extreme title at the fallout ZERO TOLERANCE.

Chains drops the mic and walks off as the screen fades to black.

Screen reopens to chains inside his house on msm. He is chatting with Jennifer.

Chains types: Hey whassup Jen?

Jen   types: Eh not much. Sup with you?

Chains types: Not much just went and wrecked a home that’s all.

Jen    types: That’s moronic.

Chains types: Yeah and I love it. LoL.

Jen types: Why do I get the feeling your gonna get your ass handed to you by goldeneye at F: ZT?

Chains types: Cuz your moronic. <GRIN> Hehehe.

Jen types: Your pretty weird.

Chains types: Im cool that’s all you got to know.

Jen types: Yeah whatever.

Chains types: I swear Jen F: ZT is going to be my night im going to dominate.

Jen types: Yeah you always say that.

Chains types: Whats up your ass?

Jen Types: huh?

Chains types: Your acting like an arse today. For gods sakes woman I don’t suck.

Chains types: GTG.

Chains signs off and then walks towards his camcorder. He then starts recording on it. He has his paint off and casual jeans and a gap tshirt his boots aren’t on and instead sneakers by addidas and his paint is off.

Chains: Goldeneye, Goldeneye, Goldeneye I think we should play a game here.

Chains: See I have in my hands a dice. Let god decide who wins. Ill roll it. If the blue side comes up it means your going to win if the red side comes up it means im going to win.

Chains tosses the cube and it lands in between both.

Chains: Oh damn man this can go to hell. See goldeneye I shall rock you and destroy you and what shall be left of you will be very very sickening to all our viewers. Im going to D O M I N A T E you’re A S S. Now if you can just spell all of that and go to hell with it im going to tell you one last thing. See Goldeneye pain well pain is a state of mine and I will be the one to inflict it on your body limb by limb, bone to bone and I know you wont be able to resist and that is when I shall be standing over your body the champion.

Chains switches the camcorder off. He then grabs a piece of paper and puts the address on it. It reads “GZW ZERO-TRON” Crimson and then he writes down the address and sticks it onto the cassette he then walks out and puts it into his mail box. His old neighbour is in the garden reading a news paper.

Lady: Your going to win don’t worry dear.

Chains: That lady is an excellent point.

FADE TO BLACK

---Surprise Match---

Pike: Our first match will be...oh my god! Look who's here! It's...

Hunt: THE WANNABE WRESTLER, BIG YANK!! How did they put him back together? Did they tape his spine back together with scotch tape?

Pike: I don't know, but what asshole brought him back?!? Wait a minute! I've been handed a note. It reads, "From the offices of Interim Deputy Commissioner Sincere. I have decided to give the fans a real treat by signing the former Mid-South Wrestling Alliance rookie for a special one night only match. Enjoy! Signed, Sincere." A treat? More like a waste of time!

Hunt: I knew I smelled something here tonight!

The jobber gets in the ring to the boos of the fans. A fan's whiteboard reads, "What the hell is this crap? In the words of the Baha Men, "who let the dung out?"

Herbert Torres: And his opponent....

Pike: It's Bone Dry Austin Stevens!!! What the hell is this, a match of the crippled?

Hunt: Whatever this crap is, it smells like $hit!

Pike: Obviously, Sincere really wants to piss off the fans with booking a match like this! This is the biggest waste of time!

Hunt: Hell, Big Yank is a waste of flesh, blood and vital organs!

In the ring, Bone Dry kicks Big Yank in the crotch, but he feels no pain.

Pike: You can't hurt Big Stank, I mean, Big Yank by kicking him in the crotch, there's nothing to hurt down there!

Bone Dry then kicks BY in the midsection and drops him with a Bone Dry Bummer.

Pike: Bone Dry Bummer! Wait! Bone Dry is lifting up Big Yank and he hits him again with another Bummer! This is a massacre!

Bone Dry goes to lift up BY to his feet, but BY catches his ear in Bone Dry's leg brace....

Pike: Chocolate covered Dunkin’ Donuts! Big Yank’s ear gets ripped right off!

Hunt: Cool!

Bone Dry then gets excited as hell, yelling something about his name being Bone Dry Austin Stevens. He grabs a few beers from ringside and leaves the ring drinking like the drunken bastard he is.

Pike: Wait! What about the pin? Look! Here comes Carrotcake, the comedian, and I use that term very loosely!

The skinny, no talent hack slides into the ring with a large rotary dial phone (a true antique). BY gets up to his feet and BAM!!!

Pike: Carrotcake with the phone shot to the head!

Hunt: A phone shot? What the heck is this crap? Who else will show up, American Fat Ass?!?

Pike: Carrotcake with the pin! 1…2...3!!! Carrotcake wins the match and defeats Big Yank! I can't imagine a more humiliating defeat!

The skinny "comedian" celebrates, jumping up and down like an idiot in a collect call commercial. Suddenly, “Smooth Operator” hits the Coliseum speakers...

Pike: It's the GZW Heavyweight Champion Billy Bond!

Hunt: Finally, a real wrestler!

The Smooth One enters the ring. Carrotcake turns around only to get grabbed and dropped unmercifully into the mat by a Smooth Driver (Amityville horror).

Pike: Wowsers! He broke him in not two, but THREE pieces!

Hunt: No! Does that mean no more "1-800-Call-ATT" commercials?!?

Pike: Big loss...

Smooth lifts up Big Yank and puts the ultimate jobber in a torture rack. Smooth pulls down hard until a loud snapping crack can be heard. Smooth than drops BY in an inverted Smooth Bomb (high impact powerbomb from Samoan drop).

Pike: $h!t on me! He broke Big Yank in half! He snapped his spine like a twig!

Hunt: Guess he's got to buy more scotch tape!

With BY on the mat, Smooth grabs his legs and locks him in one of BY's signature hold...

Pike: Wow! The Liontamer (Walls of Jericho) looks brilliantly executed by Billy Bond!

Hunt: Better than Big Stank could ever do!

With the Liontamer locked in, Smooth holds onto his legs tight, then falls back with all his weight. A loud snap, crackle and pop sound fills the Coliseum, the fans cheering wildly and cringing at the sound of vertebrae crackling like a bowl of Rice Krispies. Memphis Pike and Alex Hunt give each other a high five, breaking character.

Pike: To coin a phrase fans, this in the greatest moment in the history of our great sport! Big Yank's great return ends ceremoniously with his spine being shattered by the GZW Heavyweight Champion!

Hunt: Well, he always wanted to fight the GZW Heavyweight Champion. That will teach that little bitch to stop trying to mess with the GZW!

Pike: I don't know Hunt. Stupid, impotent little boys like that never learn. To stop the spread of his ignorance, Josh Edwards should not breed. Oh wait! Like Big Yank can ever really get some!

Pike and Hunt: Hahahaha!!!

 

~~~ A Mystery Observer ~~~

 

In a dark room, a shadowed figure sits with his back to the camera, and the television on. He is watching an exert from FNT…

 

 

 

From FNT:

 

Sitting at the boardroom table in the Command Suite, Sincere, dressed in an immaculate black suit, watches the broadcast of Friday Night Travesty. The only light in the room is that which is emitting from the huge flat screen projector screen. The dark shades always worn by GZW’s most decorated wrestler hide the sinister look in his eyes.

 

“All has come full circle. The power that I have always craved has been placed in my hands. No one realized that I was more than petty gold belts. No, Jung-Lei, has always craved power, ultimate supreme power to wield as I please. Now is the time for the Theory of Chaos to be answered again.”

 

The Jade Dragon smirks when he sees a commercial for GZW that pictures Sho “Fairplay Enforcer” Murakame.

 

“My rise to power has been that much easier with the ‘retirement’ of

Murakame-san. Indeed the Firefly would have been a major obstacle in my progress would he have not been dispatched with such ease so many weeks ago. It bothers me that Sho would bow out so gracefully after the humiliation that I caused to him and the destruction that I forced upon his mother’s property. Perhaps the passing of his friend has truly wounded the stalwart warrior?”

 

Sincere rubs his chin in deep thought.

 

“That is a sign of weakness in Murakame-san’s character. The same mental flaw exhibited by his close friend Tate Troublesome. Sincere’s reign will be tyrannical. Nothing and no one within this company, from the custodians to the Heavyweight Champion, will move without my decision being involved. There will indeed be Zero Tolerance!!”

 

Ms. Taylor, the long time personal assistance of Tate Troublesome, cautiously walks into the room.

 

Taylor: Mr. Sincere, Mr. Arkadian is here awaiting your counsel. Shall I send him in?

 

Sincere: (not looking at her but the screen) Yes.

 

The scene fades to black.

 

 

 

 

The person watching the show switches it off with a remote control.

 

Mystery Man:

“Things are not as easy is you might think Sincere! The Fairplay Enforcer has definitely gone forever, but you never quite now who will oppose you! You can be as smug and as overconfident and you want, but there are still heroes in this world! And you’re about to find that out when it is YOU that receives Zero Tolerance!”

 

The scene fades out.

~~~ The Mrs. M Show ~~~

~~~ Special Crimson Before Zero Tolerance Episode ~~~

~~~ Guests: Nathaniel Davis & Maxx Pain ~~~

 

 

The studio lights come on, on the new set launched last week, and the Mrs. M show opens! Mrs. M is sat on a modern style armchair, and to her right is a matching sofa. She is dressed in the finest kimono money can buy, and wears a huge grin. In the background is a huge picture of her grinning face, and a logo in neon saying ‘Mrs. M Show’!
 
Mrs. M:

“Hello and welcome to special edition Mrs. Murakame show being broadcast as part of special Crimson show before Fallout: Zero Tolerance! Welcome to special I do best show in world! On show tonight I have two very special guests! My first guest is known around the world as ‘The Entertainment Franchise’! Please give a warm welcome to Nathaniel Davis!”
 
The band play an instrumental version of ‘Bad To The Bone’ by George Thorogood and The Destroyers as Nathaniel comes out through the entrance in a smart suit and tie. The crowd cheer, and he acknowledges them gracefully, and then grins. He sits on the sofa, next to Mrs. M and crosses his legs, making himself comfortable.
 

Mrs. M:

“Nathaniel Davis, all fans ask me whether or not Peacekeepers are still alive? There only you, Gideon and Anastasia left now, and everyone wonder whether you two going to carry on the Peacekeeping or go separate ways.”

 

Davis:

“Well first of Mrs. M, it is a great pleasure of mine to be one of the first official ‘primetime’ guest on your new show. It warms my heart to see you still carryin’ on where my friend and your son, Sho, left off. As far as the Peacekeepers the loyal fans of GZW need not worry about us. We are still intact and still fightin’ the good fight. Along with Anastasia, we will continue to enforce justice and fairplay.

 

“Quick note for our fans, after next week's GZW pay-per-view, Fallout: Zero Tolerance, ‘The Far East Beast’ will be takin’ some time off in order to mend some naggin' injuries as well as to handle some other personal business. Gideon would like to thank the fans for their continued support and to keep him in your thoughts.”

 

 

Mrs. M:

“One of the Peacekeepers, Diamond Sledge, get hurt by Sincere. You visit him lately? I sure the fans would appreciate update on his current situation, and a possible date when he be back.”

 

Davis:

“Everyone's favorite underdog is doin’ fine. Diamond recently was a guest commentator on a past Travesty show and he loved it loads. He is definitely on the mend and is very eager to get back into the ring with the many great competitors that make up the GZW roster. As soon as the doctors give ol’ Diamond the okay, expect nothin’ but 100% from the heart of the Peacekeepers.”

 

Davis looks directly into the camera before proceeding…

 

Davis:

“I would also like to touch on the man who sidelined both Sho and Diamond, my brother-in-law, Sincere. Jung-Lei, you play the game very well. The game that you have played all of our adult life in this sport. Your actions border on the fringes of breakin’ The Oath. Tread lightly, Sincere, for once you cross the line all bets are off and once again you and I will fight in the middle of the ring.”

 

Mrs. M:

“I no think Sincere want that! At Fallout: Zero Tolerance, Sincere has made you one of twenty five participants in battle royal for number one contendership to CCW Regional Championship. What you think your chances in match?”

 

Davis:

“Well, Mrs. M, I have a one in 25 chance of winnin’ the battle royal to determine the GZW's number one contender for the Combined Championship Wrestling Regional Title. From the developmental talent to the established superstars, I will be in there givin’ it my all. Every man is a solid wrestler and deserves to have their hands raised at the end of the match. It would be a great honor for me to represent GZW in capturin’ the CCW Regional title, but that is not my main reason to compete. Above all else my involvement is strictly for the fans. To give the payin’ audience what they came to see and that is a great show.”

 

“And can you tell us what number you draw? I sure everyone want to know!”

 

Davis smiles at the beautiful older woman.

 

Davis:

“Of course I could, Mrs .M, but then that would spoil everythin’. Whether I be number one or number twenty-five, Nathaniel Davis is goin’ to entertain. But if I could get squeezed into the always busy ‘Mrs. M’s Place’, I would tell you the world.”

 

Nathaniel reaches over and gives Mrs. M a peck on the cheek. The old lady blushes and mutters something about yuk sung before composing herself.

 

Mrs. M:

“Thank you Nathaniel Davis! Stay with us everyone, because after the break, Maxx Pain will be my next guest!”

*****

 

The Mrs. M show reopens, with Mrs. M and Nathaniel Davis chatting on set. The cheesy theme tune plays, and fades. Mrs. M looks up, grins, and addresses the camera.

 

Mrs. M:

“Welcome back to Mrs. M show! My next guest is a former GZW Television Champion who fights to regains that title this Sunday at Fallout: Zero Tolerance! He previously know as ‘The Career Killer’, please give a warm welcome to ‘The Dream Stealer’ Maxx Pain!”
 
The band play an instrumental version of ‘My Way’ by Limp Bizkit as Maxx comes out through the entrance in his usual wrestling attire of leather pants with ‘Maxx Pain’ written on each leg, a Black T-shirt with ‘GZW’s Pride’ written on the front and on the back ‘Dream Stealer Maxx Pain’ and ‘Pride is Forever’. The crowd boos loudly, and the huge man flicks them off, much to Mrs. M’s dismay. He sits on the sofa, next to Nathaniel and glares at the Entertainment Franchise. Nathaniel doesn’t flinch, and returns the glare. Maxx turns away with a sneer, and then gives Mrs. M a dirty look.

 

Mrs. M:

“So Maxx Pain, you been in GZW for long time, and only ever held TV title belt for one week which was won in a battle royal and lost in the very next match. The word backstage is you can never actually win title as you always bottle it when your much desired gold opportunity come to you. What your thoughts on this?”

 

Maxx:

“You see that just goes to show that people in the back are scared to come up to my face and say shit like that, because they know the consequences, hell I even strike fear in the heart of Deacon Kane, you see he has never came to my face and said anything like that because just like back in December when we fought for his world title, he underestimated me, which is what people in the GZW are doing now, but come this Sunday we will see who bottles what gold opportunity. I even bet that some of those people have never held titles in this company before so they should have not a damn thing to say about anything.”

 

Mrs. M:

“Interesting perspective… You a member of the stable known as Pride. The whole impetus of the stable being to strike against people that you call ‘old guard’. What exactly you mean by ‘old guard’? What does a wrestler have to have achieved or done to qualify to become a member of this group you put on pedestal?”

 

Maxx:

“The Old Guards are those who are way past their prime, like Smooth, T-Rex, Nathaniel Davis, Magic, Deacon Kane, and among others, but in due time you will find out just who we are talking about specifically, but come this Sunday El double Debilucho Champion will be treated as my bitch, and he is also way past his prime. At the age of 33 I am just at my peak and there are a lot of other things that I am going to do before I decide to step down.”

 

Mrs. M:

“So ‘El Gambit’ Santiago De Touwce is regarded as a member of the ‘old guard’. What are your thoughts on your upcoming Pay Per View match with El Gambit after his display of brutality on last week's Friday Night Travesty? It appear he ready to fight fire with fire, and be as brutal as your stable. Does your game plan have to change now all cards are on table?”

 

Maxx:

“My game plan never changes, when I step in the ring its all about mind games, mind games that I play, and that's why I always say ‘I am the only one who can play the game know as Pain’ because I am GZW's Pride, and I am the Dream Stealer. When people say that I am nothing but a piece of crap, when they step in the ring with me, they get a whole new side of Maxx Pain, a side that they wish they never brought out, and come this Sunday, El Gambit will be in for the fight of his life because I am coming to Fallout: Zero Tolerance with one thing on my mind and that is Pain, and I am warning you and the world now that someone is going to get hurt, and it won't be me!”

 

Mrs. M:

“And finally Maxx Pain, you and your Pride friends intentionally injured ‘Mooncat’ Celestia L’yark a few weeks ago. Do you have any remorse at all, and how you sleep at night?”

 

Maxx:

“Hell no I don't feel sorry, the bitch was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and that is something that she should regret. But I do have remorse for one thing, and that is we did not end her damn career. The ring is no place for a woman, hell my wife even knows her place, you used to see her come with me to the ring but when things started to heat up, I had to sit her ass at home with the children. Hell T-Rex and Magic should know to sit their bitches at home, after what happened to Mooncat, the only thing I have left to say is ‘El Gambit your ass better be getting ready because I am coming to take back what is mine and that is the TV title, and you will be on the receiving end of one hell of a Maxx Pain ass kicking because Pride is Forever...Bitch’!”

 

Mrs. M looks angry… in fact, she’s fuming!

 

Mrs. M:

“You a nasty, nasty man!”

 

She leaps up, and slaps Maxx hard around the face! She then slaps his legs! Maxx, fury in his eyes, grabs the old lady around the neck, but Nathaniel comes to her rescue and pushes Maxx off. Maxx glares at Nathaniel, who isn’t backing down, and then storms off. Nathaniel checks on Mrs. M who readjusts herself, and then looks at the camera.

 

Mrs. M:

“That all we got time for on Mrs. Murakame show! A big thank you to Nathaniel Davis, and a big screw you to Maxx Pain. Thanks for watching! See you next time!”

---“The Downfall” Rebellion---

 

:.:Nothing but darkness and a dimmed light opens the scene.  A figure of a man stands below the light.  Strands of black hair hand from his head as he looks down at the ground beneath him.  The former Extreme Champion of GZW lifts his head slowly, until he faces the camera.  His cold, dark eyes make contact with the viewers behind the camera.  A few strands of his dark hair hang over his face.  He lets them hang there as he speaks:.:

 

Rebellion:  “Fallout: Zero Tolerance nears us quickly.  Within a matter of days this pay-per-view will be a legacy in GZW’s history.  A barbwire and light tube match, a Tear Down The House Six Count Fall match, an I Quit match, the first ever CCW Regional Championship is decided, and two different rematches bring the fans their entertainment.  But all those matches do not include me.  I am stuck in a battle royale for the #1 contendership of the CCW Regional Title.  25 men must enter and the last to stand gets a shot at this new found gold.  And did you people happen to see where this match lies in the card?  It is the first damn match!  I am a star struck wrestler.  My history could make your GZW careers look like janitors!” 

 

“I have dominated HKWF with perfection and grace.  Then I get suspended because of my acts towards my competitors.  HKWF then joins with GZW, and who hires me into their empire?  Tate and his group of oxymorons!  They bring me into this company because they knew I would bring the fans in.  I did and brought the Extreme Championship a great owner.” 

 

“But after Tate’s death Kandi got control.  She just couldn’t stand the fact that I made an impact in GZW and I was rising to the top quickly. Well Kandi, your power means nothing to me!  Do you think you can carry Tate’s company and keep it alive?  It is all up to you now, to make this place something.  It’s all pressure, Kandi.  It can take one tiny bad decision and BAM!  It’s all over.  You ruin the GZW, the careers of its stars, and you break the fans hearts.  Kandi, you made one bad decision and that was to strip me indefinitely of my championship.  You might be able to keep that one piece of gold away from me, but there are bigger fish to fry.  I am a former HKWF Hong Kong Champion.  I am worthy enough to hold a title that represents exactly who I am.  Just be warned, Kandi.  I have plans in my deep dark mind that can bring your company down.  If you do your job and keep your dirty business away from me I can put a stop to it all.  But one mistake of fucking with me, and a NEW era will make bad things happen.”

 

“As for Sunday, 24 men will see me fly through that battle without a sweat on my forehead.  It might be the first match, but it is for a shot at a championship, which will make GZW and CCW history.  Now, lets just quickly run down the line-up of pathetic wrestlers in this match…”

 

“1.  Nathaniel Davis:  One of the biggest superstars and having the longest lasting career in GZW.  Yet, for as long as he has been here, he hasn’t even won the Heavyweight Championship!  He only got the IC Championship once.  He formed with the likes of Diamond Sledge, Gideon, and Firefly, to unsuccessfully battle What Money Can Buy.  His career has been nothing more than a joke in GZW.  By the looks of things, he will be fighting the likes of Ass Clown and Happy Sumo full time.”
 
”2.  Logan Phlash:  One half of a tag-team that has yet to accomplish anything in UJW and GZW.  What more could I say about this man?  ‘Larger Than Life’ is highly unlikely.  ‘Lower Than Rebellion’ fits It just right.”
 
”3.  Malcom Hodges:  The other half of the Supreme Team.  As Logan’s partner they make the talent of one Nathaniel Davis.  Malcom will be ‘Super Fly’ing into the air, then planted into the mat, finally eliminated by your favorite rebel.”
 
”4.  Rick Samson:  A beer drinking, raging hormones, and a little college boy trying to find something to do with his life.  While he depends on his father to keep his career alive, I work alone and make a name for myself the free way.  But daddy won’t be able to help his prep son after I eliminate him.  The reject will be crying to his father after he takes another loss and once again he gets money for his failure.”
 
”5.  Brent Wellington III:  The other teammate in College Crew.  Just like Rick Samson he is a daddies boy.  He depends on his father to buy his ever need.  But come Sunday money can’t buy the ass kicking and elimination he shall receive.  And after wards he will fill up on beer and let his worries fade away with his life.”
 
”6.  Desecrator:  The former Lightweight Championship and partner of Kombat.  Yet another man who depends on his friends to help him.  On Sunday, depend not on Kombat for both of these men will be taken out of the contest, while I continue to go through my competition.”
 
”7.  Elijah Threatt:  ANOTHER damn tag-team!  Apart of the Endangered Species, he is too just a punk.  He cheats to get a win and tries his best to make his opponents suffer.  Some might guess he is my type, but to depend on a partner to gain victory is something of coward ness.”
 
”8.  Joseph Synger:  The second half of Endangered Species.  As his partner, Elijah, he is a man to depend on his partner.  When he fails Elijah comes for the save, which would be ever match.  Combined they make one Rebellion, but separate, they are weak and fragile.  Sunday, I will make sure they are weak to make it easier to eliminate them.”
 
”9.  Dameon:  Father of Magic and Hades.  The first ever TV Champion when he was in his prime.   Apart of the sinister group of men, known as the Chaos Theory, he made his impact in GZW.  A sick man, he was, to attack his own children with lead pipes and bring GZW fear.  Yet he made the mistake of changing his ways and forming a tag-team with his son Hades.  A career going good dropped like a brick off the Empire State Building.  Just like that brick, he too will fall.”
 
”10.  Hades:  Another member of the Fiery family.  Is this damn battle royale full of tag-teams or what?!  All men have to depend on one another for help.  Hades is of no difference.  Blue boy was once a Lightweight Champion and now look at him!  He is attached to that brick of his father’s and the same outcome shall come around on F:ZT.”
 
”11.  Nemesis:  Who the hell is this exactly?  He comes onto the GZW television one damn time and poof!  He is gone from our sights.  He might wear a mask, but under that mask he is feared.  He knows the danger of what he will step into on Sunday.  Nemesis, you are of no threat to me, and I am sure that your silence will only bring you trouble.”
 
”12.  Rebellion:  FINALLY!  A true man to bring this list of jobbers some light.  All I have to say about this man is that he will win, without a single doubt.  24 men to be eliminated, and he will stand tall.  All shall take the downfall.”
 
”13.  Invincible:  Former UwU Champion as Hero, and now helping out the likes of Battlecry.  Again, nothing much to be said about this superstar. He lost to Magic in UwU for his championship for rebel’s sake!  Invincible, I think not.  I will testify your name and make sure you take a downfall, just as everyone else.”
 
”14.  Battlecry:  Invincible’s partner and friend.  Anyone with a right mind wouldn’t team with a man of Invincible’s.  Only Battlecry would think of such stupidity.  All I have to say is there will be a cry in this battle when I demolish all competition in this royale.”
 
”15.  Prey:  Damn you tag-teams!  Go find yourselves a real job!  Why depend on a partner?  Do the damn job yourself.  Prey is what he will be once I smell his fear, which will be around me within seconds.” 
 
”16.  Outlaw Wales:  The other half of the StormRiders.  Nothing more than a weakling, and one to be punished for his ways.  All will change soon, no more will I have to deal with messily tag-teams!  Outlaw shall take the downfall, just like all the others!”
 
”17.  Eric Montair:  A man I cannot complain about.  He has enough smarts to keep away from partners.  He has the ability to make a name for himself in the world of insanity.  He has changed Magic and made sure that the former fan favorite is hated by all.  But Eric will take the downfall as well.  No one will stop me from becoming a champion of CCW!”
 
”18.  Freak Mauler:  What kind of name is that!  And what is it with this man’s history?  He comes, he goes, he comes back!  Make up your damn mind fool!  He is better off without work because he is an embarrassment to this industry.  Get a life and find a job that suits you best, if there is one existing!” 
 
”19.  Jimmy Williams:  Another man whom I have some respect for.  He has accomplished much in his history.  He joined Chaos Theory and gained the Extreme Championship.  Yet, he became a fool to be my first tag-team partner.  After I annihilated him with a chair I made sure he was no longer a problem for me.  Big Country he used to be, but the name change won’t make a difference.  As much as I would like for him to win this match, I will not allow it!”
 
”20.  Gideon:  Ah, an old enemy in HKWF and now in GZW he lets his career slide into a dark corner.  Gideon was once a loyal competitor.  Now, after teaming with Firefly and the PeaceKeepers, he let his name drown in shame.  No longer is he the man I knew.  But like in HKWF he will loose to Rebellion.”
 
”21.  Kombat:  Must I go on?  I have gone through 20 other men, and the rest below are that of jobbers.  Kombat is the last of the men that will lose with a bit of a challenge for me.  I am unfamiliar of this Kombat and I do not intend on finding out his abilities.  All I must do is pin or submit beach men.  24 other men, that’s all.  I know I will survive, and my highlight in GZW will just begin to evolve.  After the last man takes their downfall, I will stand tall.  Everyone will then know that ‘The Downfall’ is truly GZW’s fate.”

 

:.:With all said, Rebellion steps back into the dark until his visibility is no more.  The scene fades shortly afterwards:.:

---LightHeavyweight Championship Match: Justin Sharp vs. “El Gambit” Santiago DeTouwces---

1…2…

Pike: Three! Justin Sharp and Pride capture their first gold; the GZW Television Title in what was a fantastic match!

Hunt: And here comes the rest of Pride to help Sharp celebrate!

Maxx lifts up his opponent at Fallout: Zero Tolerance and throws him into a nearby corner. With his LH belt in hand, Sharp rolls out of the ring.

Pike: These damn Pride guys! Isn’t winning the Television title enough?

Hunt: Of course not. Since Kandi Fortune barred them from interfering in the match they had to get in their licks now! And since El Gambit is on this “Lone Wolf” kick, there is no one to help him!

Cage runs and delivers a dropkick to the slumped El G. Maxx follows behind Cage with a thunderous mafia kick to El G’s face. Sharp returns to the ring with the TV title and hands it to the vicious Maxx.

Hunt: No way! He doesn’t care about El Gambit! He just wants to get his hands on Adam Cage!

At the sight of “The Wrestling Franchise”, Cage braces himself for the encounter but Maxx and Sharp get him out of the ring. The three walk backward up the rampway; Cage being restrained by his partners. Inside the ring Monarch motions for Cage to return to the ring.

 

---Crystal clear?---

The scene fades just outside Seth and What Money Can Buy’s locker room.  Weston Bentley walks towards the door, but it swings open quickly.  Crystal steps out of the room and almost runs into Weston.  Weston looks at her with shock.

 

Weston:  “Crystal!  What were you doing in there just now?”

 

Crystal:  “Huh?  Oh, I was just running an errand.  I needed some toilet paper and, this was the closest room.  So I went in and asked Seth for some paper and he was happy to give me an extra one.  He might sound like a complete jerk over TV, but he is really a sweet guy.  Excuse me, Weston, but I am off to the toilet.  And then I am going to find Billy and give him a luxurious massage for those muscles.  We can’t have the Heavyweight Champion tense.  He deserves pure pleasure for all of his hard work, and I am just the woman to do it.”

 

Weston:  “Do you mind me asking about your relationship with Billy?  And Samuel?”

 

Crystal:  “Actually I do!  I am sick of people thinking Billy and I are through.  Samuel has distracted Billy from me, but we have solved SOME of our issues.  I still don’t like Billy’s choice of having Samuel come to the ring with him.  The cripple should be at home, healing and licking his injuries.  It might sound very crude of me, but Samuel is the cause of some of I and Billy’s problems.  I think it’s time Billy gets his head on straight and realizes I should be going down to the ring with him.  But Weston, I have said it once and I will say it again.  I always get my way!  Now if you excuse me, I have to pee!  Unless you want some on your shoes!”

 

Weston:  “Okay, thanks Crystal.”

 

Crystal jogs from the scene and walks into her locker room.  Weston blows off his interview with Seth and walks away from the scene as well, leaving it to fade.

---Backstage---

The Supreme Team, Logan “Bigger Than Life” Phlash and Malcom “Super Flyer” Hodges, are seen talking in the hallway with a few GZW crew workers. Suddenly, coming their way are Elijah Threatt and Joseph “Lost Soul” Synger. Endangered Species walk by the Supreme Team. Synger suddenly turns to face the UJW duo.

Synger: What? You said something punk?!?

On that note, Threatt and Synger begin to pummel the Supreme Team in the backstage area.

Pike: What the hell? No one said anything to Endangered Species?

Hunt: Are you going to tell them they're wrong?

Synger kicks Phlash in the stomach, then drops him on his head on the concrete with Rest In Peace (jumping tombstone piledriver). Threatt nails Hodges with a Muay Thai kick to the side of the head, the momentum of which, knocks Hodge's head into the wall. Endangered Species look at the nearby crewmembers, motioning to the laid out Supreme Team.

Synger: Clean this crap up!

---Another part of Backstage---

 

(The scene opens up backstage with Epic, and Eclipse, they have their Tag Team championships around their waists, when all of a sudden Weston Bentley walks up to them)

 

Eclipse: oh look who it is it’s Weston Bentley!

 

Epic: yea, Oi Weston What you up to?

 

Bentley: I’m just hanging around backstage hoping to get some interviews with some of the Big GZW talent!

 

Eclipse: really who exactly are you looking for?

 

Bentley: maybe you can tell me if you have seen any of them… um Magic, T-Rex, Deacon Kane, Sincere, Pride? Have you seen any of them?

 

(Epic then grabs hold of Weston around his throat ramming him into a wall, Weston chokes struggling to breath)

 

Epic: what ever happened to us eh? Have you forgotten us? We are what Money can Buy, you NEVER forget me and Eclipse NEVER! We are the tag-team champions for gods sake, and yet you want interviews with losers like Pride, Magic, and Rex. You mention that these are the BIG GZW talent. Are we not big enough for you? We have held these titles for months now, and you still wish to ignore us. Ever since Seth tried to take over, everybody has ignored us.

 

You ask me Weston We are the last surviving members of What Money Can Buy. Manic and Dice have started to betray us, they are not team players like Eclipse and me. If some miracle happens and they win this little tournament, it won’t make any difference, the outcome will be the same the only thing different is that I’ll enjoy giving them a Risky brutalisation than I would to any other tag team.

 

Bentley you wish to get interviews with BIG names, then what about us? Eh? We are the Tag team champions there gets no bigger than me “Risky Business” and Eclipse. We are the big names because we can buy it. Oh and Bentley you might need a new shirt!

 

(Epic rips open, Bentleys shirt, the buttons go flying everywhere, Bentley slumps to the floor when Epic lets him, go. The scene then fades as Epic and Eclipse walk off camera laughing and joking)

“Lately, did you ever feel the Pain, in the morning rain, cause I’m so chilled to the bone”

 

Pimp is pinned by “Smooth Operator” Billy Bond at Acceptable Risks

 

“Maybe, I just wanna play, wanna live but don’t wanna die, maybe I just wanna breathe, maybe I just don’t believe, maybe your just the same as me, we see things they’ll never see”

 

Pimp hits the Played-a-live on a few of his opponents

---Backstage with Jeff Thomas---

(The scene opens up with Jeff the new GZW interviewer, he is stood with a microphone in the GZW arena backstage at TNC, when Pimp walks past him nudging him with his shoulder that spins Jeff around, and Jeff runs after him)

Jeff: Pimp, Pimp… can I get a few more words?

 

(Pimp turns around and looks directly at Jeff, just staring at him, Pimp then puts his headd down and the peak on his Lime green sunhat casts a shadow over the face of Pimp)

 

Pimp: YOU again!

 

Jeff: they asked me to come back because I did SO good job early on today!

 

Pimp: hahaha okay ummmmmmm Jason shoot!

 

Jeff: it’s Jeff!

 

Pimp: Beth… now that’s a woman’s name!

 

Jeff: JEFF!

 

Pimp; oh are you that guy that’s been chilling with those WMCB characters!

 

Jeff: JEFF…… JEFF THOMAS!

 

Pimp: whoa no need to shout, I can hear!… anyway what you want?

 

Jeff: well earlier you gave your opinions on your thoughts with Eric “C2” “Novacaine” Montair, and Magic, and made it very clear that you don’t like them. But what I want to talk to you about is this relationship with T-Rex, what’s this all about?

 

Pimp: It’s obvious isn’t it? Neither of us have EVER liked each, other. I have respected him however for he is a great wrestler, I know this as I have fought against him on many an occasion. I faced off against him back in the EWO, where by he won. We have squared off in GZW and I think we are about equal. And the amount of respect in the ring he has for me I’m sure he has for me. We both know that we both have what it takes to get the job done, and that’s something I admire a hell of a lot. Now although Rex and me haven’t seen eye to eye on the majority of things there is now one that we do and that’s this whole situation with Magic going nuts, and trying to brutalise Angel. T-Rex still has feelings for my sister, and I think Angel still has feelings for Rex, I’m not going to stand in the way of my sister happiness. Magic has tried to attack her, and this is one thing that is uniting us, and has helped me to see this side of Rex.

 

Jeff: cool, but last week we saw Angel help out Rebellion, and then him return the favour for you later on!

 

Pimp: first off I had that match under control as always, after all I’m the “Perfectionist” I had it covered, I knew what was going down, so I just used my perfect ness to lure Magic into a false sense of security. However let’s go back a little bit before my match. Angel helped out Rebellion. I have no idea why even though she told me she would tell me she hasn’t…. YET. And as to what she said to Golden Eye I have no idea what so ever, if you want those answers I suggest you ask Angel!

 

Jeff: okay thanks Pimp

 

Pimp: hey hang on what’s that on your shirt?

 

(Pimp points to Jeff’s chest, and Jeff looks down Pimp flicks his finger up to Jeff’s chin)

 

Pimp: ahahaha!

 

(the scene fades as Jeff sighs, and Pimp walks off laughing)

---Fortune Familia---

“Hello” by N.W.A raps over the Coliseum PA system as the Zero-tron shows images of The StormRiders beating up people, it then switches to Monarch giving a developmental wrestler the Imperial Impalement (Emerald Fusion), from Monarch it turns into a montage of Deacon Kane delivering the Wicked Way (muscle buster) to almost every GZW superstar. The images end with Sincere at different periods of GZW history holding the Extreme, then the Intercontinental, the Heavyweight, and finally the Tag Team Championships belts.

The five men walk down the rampway led by the StormRiders, followed by Monarch and Sincere, and finally the ex-Heavyweight Champion Deacon Kane. The Coliseum thunders their disapproval of the stable with boos and jeers.

Pike: Fortune Familia is here tonight and they don’t look like they are in a good mood!

Hunt: When are these five men ever in a good mood?

Everyone gets into the ring except Deacon who circumvents the ring. He stops in front of Kid Kaos, who has been sitting at ringside all night. The smaller newcomer to the GZW stands up to Deacon, seemingly not afraid of the 7’4” 478lbs man.

Pike: Is Kid Kaos berserk?

Hunt: He has to be. What he needs to do is run like hell before it’s too late! Too late!

Deacon grabs the rookie around his throat and single-handedly tosses Kaos into the ring over the top rope. Before Kaos has time to bounce twice on the mat, Prey and Outlaw Wales are upon him raining down stomps and punches. Monarch sits atop a turnbuckle smiling devilishly while Sincere looks on with a microphone in hand. Somehow Kaos manages to get to his feet.

Pike: What is the meaning of this? Kid Kaos wasn’t bothering anyone!

Hunt: Sure he was! He should have bowed down when Deacon stood in front of him!

Deacon, now in the ring, grabs Kaos again and lifts him high into the air holding Kaos right leg with his right arm. With tremendous force Deacon crashes Kaos into the mat with his signature finisher known as…

Pike: Wicked Way!

Not finished there, Deacon lifts Kaos up to his feet and lifts him high into a powerbomb position. Running to the ropes, Deacon powerbombs Kaos into the second row of spectators.

Hunt: Woohoo!

Sincere: GZW! The time for Zero Tolerance is upon you. Every wrestler in the back or at home will bow down to the new ruling authority of this company. In honor of Tate Troublesome and in the absence of Kandi Fortune, Sincere will make the rules and the men you see within this ring will regulate them. (crowd heel pops) The first to be punished is Kid Kaos. (Sincere looks out into the crowd as the EMTs tend to him) What right does your young ass have to come into an event that I booked and just sit at ringside?

Pike: Although I don’t agree with Sincere’s punishment, I would have to agree with him!

Hunt: The professor of psychological warfare and mastermind of mindgames!

Sincere: The time of redemption is at hand again! The call for Chaos has been sent out!

Monarch hops off the turnbuckles and Sincere hands the microphone to the “Wrestling Franchise”. The ex-HKWF World Heavyweight Champion takes the mike and looks to the crowd who responds with jeers.

Monarch:  Adam bloody Cage, how is your body feeling, you punk ass bloke? When will you get it into your bloody thick head that you cannot beat me? It amazes me that you think I could even utter the bloody words “I quit”!! I would pass the f*ck out before I gave up, you bloody tart of a man.

Pike: “Bloody tart of a man”?

Monarch: Come the pay-per-view, Cage, you will see the true skill of HKWF. Let it be written, let it be done!

Monarch hands the mike to Deacon who stands looking toward the entranceway.

Deacon: The once and future king. The Smooth Operator. The GZW Heavyweight Champion. Bond, the hourglass ticks away until we step into the ring once again. Your short time as the Champion is coming to an end. The monster that I have created must come to face his master. This time though, Bond, there will be no outside interference. There will be no one to stick his or her nose into my business. It will only be the Smooth One versus the Wicked One. This I promise you, Bond. The victory I shall claim at Zero Tolerance will be mine and mine alone.

Deacon drops the mike as the crowd begins chants of “Billy, Billy”. “Hello” pumps through the speaker system as Fortune Familia exits the ring.

Pike: The pay-per-view is going to be scorching!

---Thank You---

~~~ GZW Heavyweight Champion ~~~

~~~ ‘Smooth Operator’ Billy Bond ~~~

 

 

‘Smooth Operator’ Billy Bond is dressed in his usual tux and trademark oval sunglasses with square, blue lenses. Smooth is laid on his chaise longe in front of an official ‘Smooth Operator’ logo. The GZW title belt is laid over his shoulder, and he smiles, then addresses the camera.

Smooth:
“The name's Bond, Billy Bond: the GZW Heavyweight Champion, and I've got something to say!”

 

Smooth raises his left eyebrow, lowers the trademark sunglasses and peers over them, and adds a smirk to make the familiar greeting. Pausing for a couple of seconds, Smooth then removes the sunglasses and title belt and leans forward to address the camera more intimately.

 

Smooth:

“So this is my official promo before Fallout: Zero Tolerance. I racked my brains for something to say and do on it, something innovative. I thought about what I could do to impress the fans, make an impression, something worthy of the GZW Heavyweight champion. I contemplated something humorous, something clever, something intense… but all my ideas, I just felt I couldn’t come up with something that would do the belt, or myself any justice. The deadline for promos got closer and closer, and I was worrying myself about it, but then finally, I realised what it was I should do…”

 

Smooth smiles a real smile, not a smirk or a fake grin, a real smile. He holds up the title belt.

 

Smooth:

“I want to say thank you. I want to say thank you to all the fans and colleagues who believed I could achieve this, and still believe in me. Thank you to everyone who’s supported me: the fans, Crystal, Baz, Samuel. Without the support of everyone, I couldn’t and wouldn’t have believed in myself enough to get this far. I just hope that my performance at Zero Tolerance, whether I win or not, gives you what you deserve: ‘Smooth Operator’ Billy Bond at his best. This is my first Pay Per View as GZW Champion, and I will prove I deserve all the support I’ve gained from you all.”

 

Smooth leans back onto the chaise once more.

 

Smooth:

“And do you know what? Deacon, I’m sick of the way our relationship has developed. It’s stale, Deacon! I turn on the smarm, you make grandiose threats, I turn on the smarm, you make grandiose threat, I turn on the smarm, etceteras! I’ve heard all your grandiose threats and you’ve heard all my claims of how you ‘created’ me… but at Zero Tolerance, the time for smarm and threats is over. The rematch: Bond V Kane, the title on the line. It’s you and me for the heavyweight title Deacon! I’m proud of where I am today, and I’m proud of what I’ve achieved, but what I want Deacon is a completely fair fight, a wrestling match with no weapons, no interference, no funny business whatsoever: just Deacon Kane versus William Bond. Can you do that for me Deacon? I want for the two of us to finally get it on, and prove who is the better man: who is truly worthy of the GZW title. Are you man enough to fight me one on one with no funny business? Are you man enough to face the possibility of losing to a better man in a fair fight? Hell! You should be! You’re nearly a foot taller and two hundred pound heavier than me! Be a man Deacon, and beat me in a real wrestling match! Whether or not you choose to indulge my wishes Deacon, one thing I can promise you is that you will get everything from me at Zero Tolerance! I will go out there to win, and I will put everything I have into our match, and you know what? Yup, you guessed it: it’s gonna be Smooth!”

 

Smooth leans back massaging the sides of his head and closing his eyes, indulging in a moment of relaxation as the scene fades.

---Main Event: Intercontinental Championship Match: Eric Montair vs. “The Human Miracle” Pimp Bizkit---

Pike: Up next, it will be the Intercontinental Champion Pimp Bizkit facing the now unmasked Eric Montair! Without his mask and his rage at an all time high, I would not like to be in Pimp's shoes!

Hunt: You better believe that! Although Pimp is my man, Eric “Complete Chaos” Montair has returned to the GZW! This man was E.S.P.! Billy Bond and Pimp Bizkit couldn’t hold C2’s jock strap!

The fans heel pop as the now unmasked Eric Montair makes his way to the ring to the tune of “Youth of the Nation” by P.O.D. C2 steps into the ring, ready to lock up with the “Human Miracle”.

Hunt: All stand for the Brutality King!

“Ya Don’t See The Signs” hits the speakers. The fans boo LOUDLY as Pimp Bizkit makes his entrance. The IC steps onto the stage with his pregnant sister Angel. The fans hurl insults and garbage as Pimp makes his way to the ring.

Both men tie up. C2 ducks under behind Pimp with a rear waistlock, but The Human Miracle with a quick back elbow breaks free. Pimp off the ropes for momentum, but C2 with a drop toe hold takes down the IC Champ. Pimp gets up slowly holding his mouth. C2 with punches follows up with an Irish whip. C2 with a dropkick drops Pimp. Pimp gets back up, only to get another dropkick to the face. Pimp quickly slides out of the ring to take a "time out".

Pike: Pimp taking his time to catch his breath out on the floor! C2 is standing in the ring, motioning for him to get back in!

Hunt: After further analysis I don’t believe this fight should be happening! They should shake hands and call it a day!

Pimp climbs back into the ring. C2 moves in with punches. Irish whip by C2, reversed by Pimp right into a short back elbow to the face. Pimp lifts C2 back up and drops him with a vertical suplex.

Pike: With Eric Montair down, Pimp steps on his face and really grinds the bottom of his boot on the face of the now unmasked wrestler! Pimp lifts Montair up and grinds in a side headlock. Montair pushes Pimp off the ropes to break free. Pimp back off the ropes. Montair with a hiptoss takes down Pimp! Pimp Bizkit back up, scoop slam by Montair! Pimp back up slowly to his feet. The unmasked Montair fires off several punches followed by an Irish whip, reversal by Pimp. As Montair hits the ropes, Angel grabs his leg. Pimp charges at Montair, but Eric with a back body drop sends the Living Legend over the top rope and down to the Coliseum floor! (fans pop) As Pimp gets up slowly to his feet, Montair runs to the ropes and slingshots himself out of the ring and wipes him out with slingshot senton flip!

The fans pop as both men slowly get up to their feet. C2 with a clothesline sends John Profit’s son over the guardrail and into the front row of the crowd. As Pimp gets up slowly in the crowd, C2 hops onto the guardrail and springboards into the crowd, clotheslining his former stablemate.

Pike: Eric Montair really taking the fight to Pimp Bizkit! It is so great to have a talent such as Montair back into the federation!

Hunt: The greatest LightHeavyweight Champion in GZW history in my opinion! And my opinion is the only one that really matters!

C2 tosses Pimp over the guardrail and back to the ringside area. C2 climbs back to ringside. He picks up Pimp's head and slams his face into the apron before rolling the IC Champ back into the ring. As Pimp gets up slowly in the ring, C2 climbs up to the top turnbuckle. He leaps off the top rope for a clothesline, but Pimp catches his arm and brings C2 down to the mat into a reverse armbar.

Pike: Pimp with a great counter!

Hunt: This is the GZW! You don't win the Intercontinental Title without knowing how to wrestle!

Pimp releases the reverse armbar. C2 gets up slowly. Pimp moves in and drops his opponent with a swinging neckbreaker.

Pike: Pimp back on the attack now, blatantly choking Montair with his bare hands. Pimp lifts him back up, rocks his head with European uppercuts. Irish whip now by the playboy. C2 off the ropes. Pimp with a running knee to the midsection sends Complete Chaos flipping in the air into a seated position! Pimp follows up with a swift kick to the back of the neck! Uh oh! Look who's coming out to ringside!

Hunt: “The Downfall” Rebellion!

Pike: What is this new connection with the two Profit children and Rebellion?

Pimp lifts C2 up and tosses him out of the ring. As Pimp is being reprimanded by Senior Ref Richard Dark, Reb goes to work on C2 at ringside, stomping on him.

Pike: Ever the opportunist, Rebellion lays the boots to Eric Montair at ringside!

Reb rolls C2 back into the ring. Pimp lifts up C2 and chops away on him in the corner. The Human Miracle whips C2 across the ring to the opposite corner. Pimp charges in, but C2 gets a boot up. Pimp staggers away from C2 holding his mouth. C2 charges out of the corner and drops Pimp with a bulldog.

Pike: Montair with a bulldog! He's making his comeback! Montair lifts Pimp back up to his feet. Right hands by Montair. Irish whip by Montair, reversed by Pimp. Montair off the ropes, ducks a Pimp clothesline. Pimp turns around. Montair grabs him and tosses him with an exploder! Pimp gets up slowly to his feet holding his back. Montair moves in behind him and drops him with an inverted DDT! Rebellion gets up on the apron, but Montair knocks him off with a huge right hand!

Hunt: Can’t we all just get along?

Reb's momentary distraction gives Pimp time to get back up and attack C2 from behind with a double ax handle. Pimp lifts up C2 with a belly to back suplex, but C2 flips out and lands behind him. Pimp turns around. C2 kicks him in the midsection, then drops him face first into the mat with a fame-asser. The cover by C2.

1…2…

Pike: No! Pimp gets a shoulder up! That was SOOOO close!

Hunt: I know there is some fan favorite waiting backstage who needs the snot beat out of them by my two favorite wrestlers!

C2 lifts Pimp back up to his feet. Irish whip by C2. Pimp off the ropes. C2 has his head down for a back body drop, but Pimp counters by dropping C2's face down hard onto his knee with a facebuster to the knee, a la HHH. C2 staggers back, holding his jaw. Pimp moves in, grabs him and slams his face into the mat with the "stroke" facebuster. Cover by Pimp and the count by Senior Ref Dark.

1...2…

Pike: No! Montair kicks out! Pimp is pissed! He felt he should have had the win right there! Now the Intercontinental Champ is calling for the Playground Playa! (two consecutive powerbombs followed by a Samoan Drop) He lifts Montair up, kicks him in the midsection and goes for it, but Montair pushes him in backward into the ropes! Pimp bounces off the ropes, ducks a Montair clothesline! Montair turns around. Kick to the midsection by Pimp. Pimp hits two Russian leg sweeps and follows that up with a DDT! Played-A-Live! The cover by Pimp Bizkit!

1…2…

Pike: Three! Pimp wins it and retains the Intercontinental Championship! Give credit to Eric Montair for a hell of a match, but his former E.S.P. stablemate pulls out the win!

Pimp, Rebellion and Angel head back up the ramp to a chorus of boos.
