Domestic Disturbance June 8 The Yellow Rose, Birmingham, Alabama The lights in the Yellow Rose go dark, "ERIN GO BRAIGH" rumbles through the arena in a far off voice, fallowed by the howling of banshees...The crowd gets on their feet, some booing, some cheering, but every one reacting. The camera focuses on stage left, where a green ring of fire has formed...out from it rising Sean Morgan in his signature leather trenchcoat, as the opening licks of "Hells Bells" by AC/DC hit the pa... Stacey Alexis: making his way to the ring, residing in Chicago Il, weighing in at 240lbs, "The Irish Assassin" Sean Morgan!!!!!!! Rick Malone: The Archangel has arrived! Larry Milligan: Angel??? Angels don’t jump people after matches Rick Malone: You'd better repent for saying that Larry, or Morgan is liable to come down hear and smite you too! Larry Milligan: The scary part is that you’re probably right... Morgan walks down the ramp, removing his coat as he walks and tosses it aside...ignoring a small but vocal contingent of fans that are actually bowing to Morgan, and making signs of the cross as he passes... Larry Milligan: You've got to be kidding me... Rick Malone: The true believers! I think Ill join them... Larry Milligan: Sit down Rick!!! Morgan walks slowly up the steps and gets into the ring. He stands in the center of the ring and falls to his knees, arms out stretched towards the heavens, yelling something, perhaps a prayer, towards the ceiling, as green fire explodes from all four turnbuckles, and continue to burn for another 10 seconds...after they subside, Morgan gets on a turnbuckle and makes the sign of the cross with his right fist, almost looking past the crowd. Larry Milligan: If you ask me, this guy has gotten crazier since the DWF... Rick Malone: Call him what you want Larry, he gets it done in the ring, and he’s not someone you want on your bad side... Stacey Alexis: And his opponent from Seattle, Washington…Zarian Saint. Larry Milligan: Zarians looking for a bit of revenge here. Rick Malone: To bad he won’t get it though. Morgan and Zarian march toward each other and they lock up. Morgan jabs a knee into the gut of Zarian. Zarian falls to a knee and Sean lifts him by his chin only to knock him back down again with a hard right. Sean backs Zarian into the ropes and sends him flying to the other side. Zarian came back and Sean gave him a huge back body drop. Zarian quickly gets up and charges Sean with a closeline. Sean ducks and the two turn back around to lock up. A power struggle erupts and Zarian gets the advantage pushing Sean into the ropes but Sean comes back with ferocious spinning heel kick that knocks Saint down. Saint crawls back up and nestles himself in the corner. Sean charges with a shoulder block but Zarian moves out of the way letting Sean crash into the turnbuckle. Zarian slowly spins him around and gives him a hard slap to the chest. Larry Milligan: What a shot by Saint, I could even hear it over here. Sean rives in pain and Saint gives him a right to his jaw. Sean musters the strength to grab Saint a turn him around in the turnbuckle and gives him a hard knife-edge chop. Morgan sets Zarian on the turnbuckle, facing towards the crowd...Morgan gets out on the apron, makes the sign of the cross, and leaps, locking his legs around Zarian's neck, and hurricurannas Zarian off the turnbuckle, out of the ring, and onto the mat below. Larry Milligan: Holy Shit Rick Malone: And a hugely innovative move by The Archangel. Larry Milligan: I don’t like him, but that was impressive. Zarian lays face down on the matt as Sean waits in the ring. He ventures over to Morris and yells at him to start a ten count. When Morris refuses Sean pushes him down and the crowd boos. When Morris gets up he glares at Sean and reluctantly starts a ten count. 1 2 Sean raises his head to the sky and extends his arms, basking in self-glory. And the crowd goes into a frenzy of boos. 3 4 Zarian starts to stir but falls back down. 5 Rick Malone: Look at that Larry; he’s basically destroyed Saint. Larry Milligan: That shot would have taken a lot out of any one. 6 7 Saint gets up and crawls up on the apron and Sean gives him a guillotine drop that puts him back on the floor. Larry Milligan: That’s no fair, give Saint a chance. Rick Malone: It’s called strategy and requires thinking, something that’s unknown to you. Sean heads over to Morris to make sure he starts a new ten count. We see Morris shake his head and after a brief dialogue between the two, Sean rolls out the ring and vigorously stomps on Saint. Saint stumbles up and Sean gives him a quick snap suplex. Sean lifts Saint and tosses him back into the ring. Zarian slowly rises, but Morgan lunges to the top rope, and spring boards into the air, connecting with a well timed leg drop to the back of Zarian's head, sending him crashing back down to the mat Larry Milligan: incredible agility by Morgan Rick Malone: what, you want on the bandwagon now? Larry Milligan: Hey the guy maybe a nutcase, but he’s got the skills to back up that attitude. Rick Malone: Nutcase, he’s a savoir. Larry Milligan: ............. Zarian tries to crawl away but Sean stops him with an elbow drop to the back of Zarian. Sean pulls Zarian up and plants him back down with a side suplex and rolls over him with a cover. 1… 2.. Zarian pulls out put Sean goes right back at hit getting in a series of side mounted punches. Rick Malone: Why did Zarian kick out? Doesn’t he know that his resistance is futile? Sean picks up Zarian but Zarian rolls him up for a quick two count. Sean breaks free and runs over Zarian with a short arm closeline. Zarian starts to stumble up but Sean locks in a dragon sleeper. Zarian slips through the arms of Sean and takes him down with a fireman’s carry and the adds him in his own sleeper hold. Larry Milligan: Zarian could have reversed the momentum in this match. Rick Malone: You would be rooting for Zarian wouldn’t you? Zarian quickly drags him up and whips him off the ropes. Saint tries to lock in the standing sleeper, but Morgan sharply elbows Saint in the ribs, freeing him self, and fallows it up with a quick martial arts leg sweep, taking him to the mat with lightning speed, Morgan locks his legs around Zarians throat, holding onto his right arm, executing a perfect triangle choke Larry Milligan: Morgan showing flawless mat skills. Rick Malone: what do you expect, he spent years training in martial arts and ultimate fighting dojos, as well as in Stu Harts dungeon! Larry Milligan: That’s true, and being trained by men like Ric Flair and Ken Shamrock don’t hurt either. Zarian somehow makes it to the ropes and reluctantly Sean lets go just before being dqed by Morris. Sean hits a European uppercut and sends Zarian staggering away to the corner. Zarian lays in the corner but Sean soon fallows but Zarian gets in a kick to the sternum of Sean and then a second time. Zarian adds Sean’s head under his arm and lifts himself up on the turnbuckle. Larry Milligan: Zarians going for a tornado ddt here. Zarian flies off BUT Sean holds onto the ropes and Zarian looses his hold on Sean. Zarian gets up wobbly and Sean grabs his hand and whips him into the ropes. Zarian comes back and Sean gives him a hard elevated ddt. Larry Milligan: Mary O’ Mother. That could have snapped Saints neck. Rick Malone: I’ll pray it did. 1… 2… 3… Stacey Alexis: Here is your winner, SEAN MORGAN!!! Rick Malone: See the way he handled Zarian? This guys going straight to the top. Morgan kneels by the fallen Zarian Saint...and makes the sign on the cross over him...he then looks towards the heavens, raising his hands again, and yells something... The ref attempts to raise his arm, but Morgan ignores him, and stands up, looking at Saint with an almost disappointed look...Morgan then purposefully walks towards the ring post, and removes the middle pad...shoving the ref out of the ring, Morgan picks up Saint, and after making the sign of the cross on Saint's forehead, he whips him into the turnbuckle, his skull connecting with the exposed metal.... Zarian slumps to the ground in a heap, blood pouring down his face. As Morgan rolls out of the ring, nodding to his "followers" in the crowd.... Larry Milligan: What a match and what a way to start of another Domestic Disturbance. The cameras cut to backstage in the arena, in one of the locker rooms, that's been reasonably well furnished, more than just the usual benches and lockers. Dante is leaned against a wall, smoking a cigarette and looking somewhat irritated, and Virgil is currently reclining in a chair near him, with his arms behind his head. Virgil: I don't see why you're getting irritated with me. I'm just saying that it doesn't do any good to treat these people like they're humans. I don't understand where the motivation for doing so comes from. Dante pressed the bridge of his nose between two fingers. Dante: I don't think that's fair, Virgil. Most of SWA is composed of idiots, but that doesn't mean they're subhuman like you seem to think. It's even more ludicrous for you to treat our fans like you are. I don't like it, and I'm not going to sink to the level you're at right now just because it's the easy thing to do. Virgil rolls his eyes. Virgil: You have to make life difficult for yourself, don't you? It would be so much more simpler if you gave up being an altruist. You'd still have your dignity; you wouldn't lose anything from doing what you know you want to. Dante points an accusing finger at him, pulling his cigarette out of his mouth. Dante: Escucha me... I already told you I don't want to do that, just because it's the easy way out. Maybe you don't agree with my decision, but I don't agree with yours either. I'm getting tired of this pressure from you and Shadow. If I'm to make any changes, I'll accomplish them on my terms. Now, if you're done lecturing me on the finer points of being a prick, I have a match to win. He turns and walks out of the room, not lacking irritation in his movement. He slams the door, realizing fully that he'll need to get this out of his head before he gets into the ring, or he'll make a complete embarrassment out of himself. Virgil sits in the room, narrowing his eyes at the door, before shoving his hair behind his ears, and leaving the room as well. The lights in the arena dim slightly. Stacey Alexis: Making his way to the ring, standing at 6'6", 237 pounds, hailing from Barcelona, Spain... DANTE! The soft violin beginning of "Hybrid Stigmata: The Apostasy" by Dimmu Borgir echoes through the arena for a few seconds, but the peace is suddenly split by Shagrath's screaming. As the guitars and drums kick in, Dante steps through the curtain, dressed an imposing long black tunic. Around the chest and stomach area, it is perfectly molded to fit around his muscles, trailing down to a long coat length reminiscent of the denizens of The Matrix. The tunic is cut on each leg up to Dante's hips, and underneath, he wears a pair of slim-fitting black wrestling tights, and black boots with an ankh embossed across the front. His hands are adorned with black gloves that have the engraving of human hand bones across the top, exactly where his would be if he had no skin. He takes a moment to stand on the stage and survey everything he sees, before shaking some hair out of his eyes and stalking down to the ring. He hops up on the ring apron in one bound, and climbs into the ring via climbing over the top rope. He pulls on his gloves for a few moments and his stare intensifies- he's ready for anything. Larry Milligan: This is an interesting match? Shadow burst into Al Laiman’s office last week and demanded a contract for Dante and Virgil. Rick Malone: And he should have given them one but noooo. Just because he has a grudge with Shadow. Larry Milligan: So later in the night Al books Dante and Virgil in a non-title match against T.n.T but unbeknownst to Al… Rick Malone: Al doesn’t know a lot of things. Stacey Alexis: And his opponent, from Phoenix, Arizona…THREE!!! Larry Milligan: Geno had already agreed to give Tytus a Regional title shot, which we’ll see later in the night. Rick Malone: You see, Al’s trying to double book Tytus. He’s so jealous. Tear Away sounds over the PA system as the arena dims. As the chorus picks up Three comes out on stage to a hoard of boos. He ignores the crowd, pours a bottle of water on his head and walks down to the ring. At the ring he climbs in slowly and walks to a turnbuckle. He climbs it and starts pointing at the crowd and insulting them. He does this at each of the other corners getting great heat. He flips them all off and turns towards Dante. Three and Dante spend a moment sizing each other up. Larry Milligan: You can see it in his eyes, Dante’s all about business tonight. Three and Dante lock up and a power struggle erupts. They push back and forth with neither man getting a clear advantage. They break the lock Three charges with a short arm closeline but Dante ducks and turns around to give Three a quick school boy for a one count. Three powers out with force but is soon met with a right to the jaw by Dante. Three stutters but comes back with a right that’s blocked by Dante and returned with a stinging left jab. Dante grabs him by the wrist but the bigger Three reverses sending Dante to the ropes. Dante comes flying back and takes Three down with a shoulder block. Dante backs up and bounces off the ropes, charging at the emerging Three, however, Three musters a spine buster. 1… 2… Dante kicks out. Larry Milligan: And we have the first near fall in this match. Rick Malone: So the spic does have some backbone? Larry Milligan: What the hell, did you just expect Dante to lie down for Three? Three helps Dante up only to give him a suplex and another near fall. Rick Malone: Look at Three just handing it to Dante. Larry Milligan: I thought you liked Dante and Virgil? Rick Malone: I DO!!! Dante is just too much of a pansy for me; he needs to be more like his brother. Larry Milligan: Why don’t you just marry the guy. Rick Malone: I think…wait…shutup!!! This time, Dante powers out and quickly and unexpectedly takes down Three with an armbar take down. He carefully lifts Three so that the hold is not released and then violently wrenches Three’s arm and delivers a nasty hook kick. Larry Milligan: and what’s with all the derogatory names? Rick Malone: Nothing you porch monkey. Larry shakes his head and sighs. Three stumbles up and a look of surprise crosses his face. He backs himself into the corner and Dante barges over. Three slaps in a knee to the gut and throws Dante’s head into the turnbuckle. Larry Milligan: He was playing possum all along. Rick Malone: That’s where the experience factor comes in. Three turns Dante around in the corner and slaps him on his chest and then in almost an automatic move whips him to the opposite turnbuckle. Mid way, Dante catches himself and stops. Three continues to chase Dante but Dante quickly gives him a snapmare and A rear chin lock. The two stand up and Dante gives Three a painful palm blow that knocks him back into the ropes. Three comes back and Dante gives him a double underhook suplex. Larry Milligan: Look at that power. Rick Malone: Amazing what steroids can do. Dante hooks his leg for the pin. Larry Milligan: Dante could have it here? Rick Malone: Fat chance. 1… 2… Larry Milligan: NO!!! Three kicks out. Rick Malone: See, told ya. Dante, who used an extraordinary amount of power, stumbles away to catch his breath and Three gets up. Larry Milligan: Dante seems VERY wary of Three's size here, he's taking a lot of time to measure his opponent at the moment. Rick Malone: Of course he is, because he knows that Three could kick his ass! Dante paces around Three, and they finally lock up. Dante drops to a knee, pulling at Three's elbow with a sudden wrench. Three winces, and whips her across the ring. On the return, however, Dante springs off the middle ropes and nails Three with a springboard armdrag that sends both men to the mat. The mat shakes thunderously with the impact. Larry Milligan: Wow! Did you see that? Rick Malone: Dude, they're gonna break the ring. They should make Dante pay for it if it happens. Dante drags Three up, and instantly adds him into an abdominal stretch. Three starts to inch loose and Dante grabs him by the sides and gives him a gutwrench suplex. Dante again drags him up but Three gets in a kick and then goes for another but this time Dante catches it and gives him a dragon screw. Dante scoops him up and applies a side headlock. He carries Three to the corner and lays in a few punches. Dante then lifts himself up on the turnbuckle and flies off with Three’s head under his arm completing the tornado ddt. Larry Milligan: That one had to take Three out. Rick Malone: Wait, why are you rooting for Dante, I thought you were against Dante and Virgil getting a contract? Larry Milligan: I am but I was never against Dante, Dante’s a good kid just Shadow and Virgil are bad influences. Dante goes for a pinfall but is denied at two. Dante drags him up and tosses him into the corner. Dante lunges at him with a closeline but Three ducks and gives D a reverse neckbreaker that causes Dante to fall face first into the turnbuckle. Three gives Dante a kidney punch and then lifts him onto the turnbuckle. Rick Malone: If he’s about to do what I think he’s about to do, this one is over. Three lunges off the turnbuckle with Dante tucked between his arm and head. Dante lays there unconsciously as Three sits up and stares blankly at the crowd. Rick Malone: Three has it, now pin him. Instead Three goes to the top rope and turns around. Rick Malone: What the hell is he doing? Larry Milligan: It looks like he’s going for a moonsault. Three flies off turnbuckle but Dante rolls out of the way allowing Three to hit nothing but canvas. Three pops up on impact, he staggers backwards towards the ropes, but catches himself. On the return, he comes towards Dante with intent to maim, but Dante outright nails him with a brutal follow-up ax kick. Three staggers backwards and hits the mat from the impact, after which Dante dives on him with a headscissors submission. Larry Milligan: Dante going for an oldy but goody with the headscissors... Rick Malone: Dude, who are you kidding? Who the hell even SAYS oldy but goody? Dante bears down on his opponent, trying hard to get him to tap. The referee is asking him if he wants to, but Three is vehemently denying the urge. Dante locks the hold in tighter, pressing down on his opponent's neck. Larry Milligan: It doesn't look like Three is going to be finding a way out of this... Dante has him right in the middle of the ring. Rick Malone: Dude, who are you kidding? This is boring, and Three would never submit to something like this. With a growl of exertion, Dante locks the hold in even tighter. Three squirms for a moment longer... and then raises a hand to start banging the mat! Larry Milligan: Three has tapped out! Three has tapped out! Rick Malone: He did not! Referee's oversight! Larry Milligan: Dante has defied the odds had won a contract. Rick Malone: And Virgil to, now the fun begins. Morgan is shown kneeling before a Celtic cross he has hung from the wall in the lockeroom...he is in totally absorbed in his prayer...Steve Cummings waits patiently along with the camera crew for him to finish...Morgan soon rises and turns towards Cummings, cracking his neck left then right, and stares at him with a emotionless glare... Steve Cummings: Morgan, why did you assault Zarian a second time, even after you soundly defeated him? Morgan: Steve, Jesus didn’t find followers through his words...he found them through his actions, through curing the sick and healing the wounded...The Archangel had to make a statement for the Lord, one that would convince the people of their wrong doings, and to give them a glimpse of their future... Steve: Future? Morgan: Steve the time for forgiveness is long since past...the federation is teaming with the wicked, and the Lord has guided me hear, to take care of that problem...I shall cut a path straight through this organization, like I have done in all the others, and restore this sinful place to the path of the righteous...I am the Lords right hand, his sword, and the day of vengeance has arrived. Steve: but what are your plans Sean? Morgan: my plan is simple Steve, I shall strike down each man or women put in front of me, hence cleansing this federation a little bit more each time I step into the ring... and with gold come power boyo, and with gold I shall be draped... Steve: (looking a little confused), I see.... Is their anything you’d like to say, to the people, or future opponents.... Morgan: oi..I am not called the Irish Assassin for nothing boyo...its not because it sounds hard or cool. I am the Irish Assassin because I am just that. I am the Lords Assassin, and I shall strike down his enemies. Call me Holy, or call me Twisted, it is not you who can judge me, for the Lord works in mysterious ways...and your days of ignoring him, and spiting at his feet, are no more...Head My Warning, Hear My Cry, Erin Go Braigh, The Chosen One has Spoken.... now get out of my lockeroom..... Steve and the crew quickly hasten out the door. "Forsaken" from the soundtrack of Queen Of The Damned starts playing. The arena goes pitch black and images of vampires, death, destruction, graves and blood start flashing on the screen as drips of blood start to fill the word - RAVENESS. Deep red lights shine on the entrance as she walks out.The crowd seems silent as Raveness walks down the ramp, ignoring the fans, and slides gracefully into the ring, staring eerily at the ring announcer Stacey Alexis: from Death Valley, and standing at 5'10", and weighing in at 129lbs....RAVENESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Larry Milligan: Im not sure what to think of this Raveness... Rick Malone: well she took care of Saint last week The lights in the room dim slightly, and the soft voice of Poe begins. After a few seconds, the words "Dear World, I'm pleased to meet you" bring Meghan Sheffield to the entrance way. The refrain of "I want to walk to the beat of my own drum" comes through, and at that, Meghan starts down the ramp, slapping hands and smiling at the people who give her their attention. With little pomp at all, she rolls into the ring, checking the tape that's on her hands, prepared to face Raveness and Miss Mona in this three way of pain Larry Milligan: Sheffield looks primed and ready for action Stacey Alexis: and from Dover Delaware, standing at 5'7. and weighing in at 120lbs.....MEGHAN SHEFFIELD!!!!!!!!! With that. Raveness delivers a sick forearm to the back of Sheffields head, dropping her, she begins stomping away at her Larry Milligan: Mona hasn’t even entered yet! Rick Malone: she being smart Larry, something you would know nothing about Mona comes charging down to the ring, as the match has started with out her, she runs into the ring, and kicks Raveness off of Meghan...Raveness and Meghan take one look at eachother, and then double clothesline Mona!!! They each grab an arm, and whip her out of the ring, her head hitting the floor out side.... Larry Milligan: it seems Meghan and Raveness have teamed up to take out Mona Rick Malone: I dont think Mona will be much of a factor in this match any more, shes out cold!!! Sheffield nails Raveness with a hard forearm of her own, and begins to nail her with succesive chops, taking her into the corner..the ref breaks it up, giving Raveness the chance to thumb Meghan in the eye.. Larry Milligan: A cheap shot by the goth Rick Malone: yeah, well that goth is taking over this match Rick is right, as Raveness whips Sheffield off the ropes, and catches her with a text book Lou Thesz press, fallowing it up with a two hand choke hold..the ref give her the count, and Raveness breaks the hold at 4 1/2....the crowd gets on Raveness, but she ignores them.... Larry Milligan: an illegal hold by Raveness Rick Malone: illegal shmegal, she’s winning Meghan attempts to get up , but is caught with a hard ddt, sending her back down to the mat, Raveness makes the cover.. 1 2 No, Meghan kicks out with authority...Raveness continues to stomp away at Meghan, seemingly frustrated with the length of the match..Raveness picks up Meghan, but is met with a European upper cut, knocking her back, and then hits a hard Russian leg sweep on the gothic wrestler... Larry Milligan: and the momentum shifts in Meghan's favor! Rick Malone: please, try and hide your bias even for a second Larry... Larry Milligan: Are...are you kidding? Meghan picks up Raveness and hits a flap jack, starting to "feel it"...she runs of the ropes, and hits a solid clothesline, causing Raveness to flip on impact...Meghan tries to lock in the Equalizer, but Raveness battles out with a kick to the gut... Larry Milligan: Almost a win for Meghan Rick Malone: yeah, key word, almost... Meghan staggers back, and Ravenss hits a super kick, knocking down Sheffield...Meghan crawls over to the ropes, And Raveness sees her opening...she rushes towards Sheffield, who sees it coming, and hip tosses Ravenees out of the ring! Larry Milligan: and a great counter by Sheffield Rick Malone: yawn... Larry Milligan: .................. Meghan notices that Mona has gotten back into the ring.... seeing the opportunity; Sheffield kicks Mona's legs out from under her, and locks in the figure four!!!! Larry Milligan: This could spell the end for Mona! Rick Malone: could??? Its Mona...It WILL! Rick is correct again, as Mona immediatly taps to the painful submission hold.... Stacey Alexis: here is your winner, by submission...Meghan Sheffield!!!!!!!! Larry Milligan: an impressive display by Sheffield! Rick Malone: and a laughable one by Mona! Larry Miligan: Well folks tonight sure has been a great night for SWA and now the time has come for the first of our two title matches here tonight. Coming up next is "The Rage" Tytus Arnol vs. Geno. Rick Malone: Well Larry this match coming up is one that should be one of the all time greatest matches in SWA history. Of course Tytus will win, Geno couldn’t kick his way out of a cardboard box. Stacey Alexis: On his way to the ring, From Boiling Springs, PA, Weighing in at 255lbs, Here is the SWA Regional Champion, GENO. As the lights in the arena fade as a red haze over takes the arena. "Seven Nation Army" by the White Stripes begins to blast over the sound system as lights begin to flash wildly around the arena. Geno then comes out to the top of the ramp. Then goes to the left side and raises his right hand with his pointer finger up. He then goes to the right side and does the same thing. Geno then heads down the ramp as he walks down the ramp fiery pyro spews forth from the side of the ramp. He climbs up the steel steps and onto the apron. Then pulls himself over the top rope and into the ring. As he lands in the ring pyro shoots out from the ring posts. Stacey Alexis: And his opponent and challenger, from Melbourne, Australia, Weighing in at 235lbs, "The Rage" Tytus Arnol! The arena goes black and "Freak on a Leash" by Korn begins to play, and Tytus's video appears on the screen. Then pyros explode all over the stage and out comes Tytus. He walks down to the ring and looks out at the fans with a blank stare and then stares straight at Geno as he stands on the outside and gives Geno the signal that he is going to capture the Belt. Then Tytus climbed into teh ring looked once again at Geno and climbed the near ring post and looks out at the fans then he begins to taunt them. Then he leaps off as Geno sldies out of the ring and Tytus stands in the middle of the ring with a bright red spotlight shining down upon him as he poses with his arms stretched high in the air. Geno then sldies into the ring behind Tytus and wastes no time in attacking Tytus. Geno then hits a clothesline. Tytus falls down hard onto the mat. Larry Milligan: Looks like we are starting this match off, in a hurry. Geno caught Tytus with surprise and Tytus seems to be hurt. Rick Malone: Tytus wasn’t ready. Already Geno’s cheating. DQ him ref. Tytus then makes it back to his feet. The two go for a tie up, Geno whips Tytus in to the ropes and as Tytus bounces off them Geno goes for another clothesline but Tytus ducks under it and bounces of the ropes on the other side and comes back with a cross body block as Geno falls to the mat Tytus quickly get's up. Larry Milligan: Geno’s on fire. Rick Malone: Nice counter? Well that was just a fluke. Tytus picks up Geno and looks out to the fans who begin a chant that "Tytus Sucks". Then Tytus tries for a belly to belly suplex but Geno in mid air reverses it into a neckbreaker. He tries for the pin but barely gets a one count. Tytus rolls out of it and grabs the ropes. Tytus then jumps to the second rope and nails Geno with a second rope moonsault. Larry Milligan: I think Tytus just might have this match won. Rick Malone: Of course. Larry Milligan. Tytus sucks big time!!! Geno manages to break the pin attempt by Tytus. The two men are back up. Geno charges Tytus but Tytus drops down and jumps over and bounces off the ropes on the other side but as he comes back Tyus hit's him with a Super Kick and sends Geno flying to the outside but he hit the ref on the way to the outside knocking down the ref. Larry Milligan: That one's gotta hurt! Tytus is fighting a smart fight here. Rick Malone: Bullshit Larry Tytus is just lucky. Well let's say you call the rest of the match your way and i'll do it my way. Tytus then slides under the bottom rope to the outside but Geno pulled a steel chair out from under the ring and hits Tytus with it. Tytus falls down and Geno get's slowly back to his feet as he then picks up Tytus and whips him into the steel steps at ringside. Geno then picks Tytus up again by the hair and tosses him back into the ring. Geno then gets up on the ring apron and climbs to the top rope and launches himself into the ring and nailing Tytus with flying elbow drop. Larry Milligan: Since when did Geno do high-risk moves? Rick Malone: Since always, you need to be more observant Larry. Geno now I would say is starting to get his second wind and it's look out Tytus now. Geno then goes for the pin but with the ref still down Tytus kicks out. Geno then grabs Tytus by the hair and drags him over into the corner. Tytus is laying there as Geno begins climbing the turnbuckles. As Geno gets up top and looks over the fans he then leaps and nails Tytus with the a knee to the stomach. Larry Milligan: Looks like Geno is giving Tytus a little taste of his own medicine now. Rick I think that Geno is now beginning to think towards ending this match. Rick Malone: Well Larry i agree for the first time in this match. Now Geno has found what made him the Champion in the first place. Geno gets up and looks over at the crowd and smirks. But all of a sudden Tytus leaps to his feet and into the face of Geno. Geno runs over to the ropes and get's met with a big shoulder block from Tytus and goes down hard onto the mat. Tytus goes for the pin as the Ref begins to come around again but only gets a two count as Geno kicks out. Larry Milligan: This match was just about over.. Just a single count away. Rick Malone: No kidding Larry. But Geno still had his smarts with him and kicked out. Tytus then goes to the corner and takes a bit of a breather. Geno at the same time getting to his feet. Geno then gets up to his feet and Tytus runs over and levels him with a Spinning Heel Kick and follows it up with a German Suplex. Larry Milligan: That has got to hurt Geno. Rick Malone: Well to tell you the truth Larry. I think Tytus just got some good moves together and that impressed me . Geno stays on the ground as Tytus goes near him and tries to pick him up but Geno turns Tytus inside out into a roll up pin fall. But only gets a one count before Tytus breaks the pin with a grab of the ropes. Geno then picks up Tytus and nail's him with a double arm DDT. Then with Tytus on the mat holding his head Geno climbs to the top rope again and flys off with a attempt at a knee to the stomach from the top but missed as Tytus rolls out of the way. Tytus takes advantage of Geno hurt on the mat and picks up Geno who falls down onto the mat holding his knee. Tytus then picks Geno up again and trap's him into a STF. Larry Milligan: This one's nearly over as I don't think that Geno has the strength left to get out of the STF that Tytus has got him in. Tytus then put's more pressure onto the knees of Geno who then with the pressure focused lower on his body Geno squirms his top half towards the ropes and grabs hold of the bottom rope. As Tytus release's the hold Geno grabs his lower back as Tytus goes to pick him up Geno pokes him into the eyes. Geno stumbles up as Tytus is blinded for the moment and hit's Tytus with a Death Valley Driver and goes for a pin. 1... 2... Kickout by Tytus and Geno seems to be starting to get frustrated by it. Geno then looks out at the fans and picks up Tytus and hit's a G-Bomb (Back Drop into a Chokeslam) and goes for a pin. Larry Milligan: That has got to hurt Tytus and I think that this match is over. Rick Malone: You're telling me.. It was like, well to say I felt it. Geno then goes for a pin on Tytus and the Referee begins a count. 1....... 2....... 2 & 1/2..... Another kickout by Tytus and with that Geno starts to get frustrated and climbs back outside and get's the chair that he hit Tytus with earlier but teh Ref upon Geno getting back inside takes it off him and as the Ref is distracted Tytus hit's Geno with a low blow. The Tytus slowly get's back to his feet and as Geno is slumped over Tytus rushes at him and connects with a running knee to the head. Larry Milligan: What the hell i thought that Geno had this match finished!!! Tytus though has turned it into offence. Rick Malone: Well Larry this match has showed me either Tytus is crazy or he has guts! I think it shows he is crazy as he could've taken the pinfall and the match would've been over but NO he turns it around again. Tytus then looks out into crowd with a smirk on his face and siganls that he could be going to end the match as he picks up Geno and hit's him with a Short Arm Clothesline. Larry Milligan: Hey that's the set up for the Star Studded Finale and Rick if he hit's that it's all over. Rick Malone: Well i have to agree once again with you Larry. If Tytus hit's that move it's all over. Tytus then walks over to Geno and picks him up again and hit's The Screwdriver instead and goes for the pin. 1........ 2........ 3!!!!!!!! Stacey Alexis: Here is your winner and New SWA Regional Champion... "The Rage" Tytus Arnol. Larry Milligan: I cannot believe what we just saw Rick!!! Tytus has beaten Geno and became the Regional Champion. Rick Malone: Well it’s about time, he’s been held down since day one here. Then from the back comes Three to help celebrate with Tytus who stands in the ring with both his Tag Team Championship Belt and the New Regional Championship Belt. As they celebrate Geno gets back up and Three runs over and hit's him with a clothesline. Larry Milligan: Oh, this is wrong. Rick Malone: Can it Milligan, we are actually seeing some entertainment tonight. He signal's to Tytus to go to the top rope and as Three picks him up in a piledriver move Tytus grabs his legs and they deliver a Spike piledriver to Geno who is knocked out cold. Larry Milligan: Mary O’ Mother. He could have broken Geno’s neck with that shit. Rick Malone: I hope he did. Larry Milligan: But right now, Paul Roberts sits down with Vin Halsted. Paul Roberts sits down in a chair next to the already seated Vin. The room itself is dimly lit but the two can be seen perfectly. Both men are wearing suits. Blue for Paul and grey for Vin. Paul Roberts: Thank you for joining us Mr. Halsted. Vin Halsted Any time, Mr. Roberts Paul Roberts: First and foremost, tell us what its like to be the number on contender? How does it feel? Vin Halsted: Excuse me? Paul Roberts: How does it feel to be the number one contender? Vin Halsted : Well, it feels pretty good, but I think being able to be the SWA Champ and represent this company would feel even better. Besides to some, I haven't earned either of those privileges. Paul Roberts: Now we all know that you are after the SWA title, a belt held by Shadow. Sure you both have the common goal of that belt and that causes you to but heads but deep down inside, how do you really feel about her? Vin Halsted : I don't deny that she is a great competitor, and I have great respect for what she does in that ring, but I think she has a huge chip on her shoulder. She has to stop thinking that everyone is out to get her, because of her being a woman. She is the SWA Champion and that puts a target on her back, as it would for anyone who holds that title. She is the first SWA Champion and has defended it successfully each time she has stepped into the ring, but she has became a disgrace to that title and this company when she bailed on our match last week. She no longer deserves to hold it, and my time to take the reigns is coming. Paul Roberts: How did you feel when you were no showed by Shadow? Vin Halsted : How would anyone feel?!? I was fully prepared to take the title from her that night. I was pissed and now I'm just frustrated. I knew it was gonna be tough, but I know what my capabilities are and I know that Shadow is beatable. She knows that I have her number and that's why she bailed, but that's ok. She showed everyone her true colors, and it's sad to see how far she's fallen. Paul Roberts: Fallen? Vin Halsted: Think about it, Paul. She came in as a fighter, and now she's a coward. That's a plight that I'd never want to take, but it's not over for her yet. Her fall from grace will hit, when she loses that title and I'm gonna be the one looking down at her as I hold it over her head. Paul Roberts: Vin Halsted, so confident. If you win the title that would you most like to defend it against? Vin Halsted:I think Minos is owed his due and I'd like to even the score with him as long as he's up to the challenge and willing to put his pen down for the night. Paul Roberts: Besides yourself who is your favorite SWA star? Vin Halsted: Hmmm... Well it used to be Shadow, but she let me, the SWA fans, and the rest of the locker room down. But hey, she'll get hers soon. Paul Roberts: A final question before you go, what happens if you don’t win the title? Vin Halsted: If I don't win the title... well, let's cross that bridge when we come to it. Paul Roberts: Well thank you Vin for joining us today, any final words before you leave today? Vin Halsted: FAHGETABOUTIT! Larry Milligan: What an interesting interview. Rick Malone: Interesting? I’ve seen more interesting things in a retirement home. Larry Milligan: Well, I'll tell you, I'm certainly looking forward to our next match. Rick Malone: Do you really think anybody cares what you're looking forward to? No. Larry Milligan: You've always got something up your ass, you know that? Rick Malone: Cable TV, Larry! How dare you profane White Mike's hard work by using that word on our first broadcast! Larry Milligan: We're not BEING broadcast, Rick. They're only broadcasting our recap show. Rick Malone: Still, you— Suddenly, Malone is interrupted by the burst of sound that is Einherjer's “Ware Her Venom.” That sound, of course, can only mean one thing--the appearance of the SWA Champion, Shadow. The curtain parts, and Shadow stands at the top of the ramp, a cocky smirk on her face. After her actions last week, she gets a significant amount of boos as she appears, dressed in street clothes. Larry Milligan: Oh what does SHE want? Rick Malone: You hush, Milligan! There is ROYALTY in this house! Shadow walks down the ring, clad in her streetclothes--nicely fitted black flared pants and a dressy black velvet corset to match, with her SWA Title strapped over her shoulder. She passes by the ring this time; the first thought might have been that she was coming down to make some sort of statement, but instead of going up the steps, she starts towards the announce table. Rick Malone: Uh oh, she heard you Milly. She's gonna punch your lights out, and I can't wait to see it! Instead of doing that, however, Shadow simply sits down next to Malone, and puts on a headset. Malone is beaming. Rick Malone: Well, Shadow, welcome to the table! To what do we owe this pleasure? Milligan rolls his eyes at the ingratiating behavior, but Shadow simple laughs and answers, in an alto purr. Shadow: Nothing, Rick. I just thought I'd come down here and give the people someone interesting to listen to. I mean, I understand how easy it'd be to tune Larry here out every week, since he says the same nonsensical crap all the time… Larry Milligan: Gee, coming from you I think I might take that as a compliment. Have you listened to yourself lately? Shadow: Oh bite it, Milligan. Your self-righteous act gets REALLY old, you know that? You didn't have a problem with me until I decided to do something for myself, and I don't need that kind of BS, from you or anyone else! Rick Malone: HA. She really got you there. The lights dim slightly as Shadow's music fades, indicating that the competitors in this match are about to come out. Stacey Alexis: Your first competitors in the SWA singles match… hailing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, standing at 5'10” and weighing in at 225 pounds… Rey Pierce! The arena darkens and the lights begin to flicker off and on with a blood red tint. "Stay in Shadows" by Finger Eleven then begins to blast out on the public announcement system. The words Rey Peirce then flash across the small SWA television screen. Then a video of Rey from RWTG begins to play as the music gets to the chorus of the song. Rey then walks out on the stage and crouches down and points to the ring. Rey then stands up and walks down the ramp towards the ring. He gets to the bottom of the ramp and then stares around the Yellow Rose. Rey then walks to the ring steps and walks up them onto the apron. He then hops over the top ropes into the ring. He climbs up on to the turnbuckles and points out to the crowd. He then jumps off and waits for his opponent to come out to the ring. Stacey Alexis: And his opponent, from Chicago, Illinois, standing 6'4” and weighing in at 260 pounds… Vin Halsted! “Blind” by Korn begins to play over the PA, as Vin Halsted enters the Yellow Rose. The crowd finds him, dressed in his ring attire, just inside the doorway standing tall with his arm raised. He begins his walk down the ramp playing the crowd by pointing. He slides into the ring, makes his way to each top turnbuckle, raises his fist each time and then takes up his stance in the middle of the ring, staring down Rey Pierce. The two men are separated by the referee, who is obviously giving them the compulsory examination to make sure neither man has weapons in the ring. Rick Malone: So what do you think the odds are from ringside here? Obviously, you're the champ, so you know a thing or two about picking winners. Larry Milligan: Will you quit kissing her— Shadow suddenly interrupts him. Shadow: To tell you the truth, I think Rey's got a better chance. Larry Milligan: Are you just going to keep picking against Vin no matter what because he poses a threat? Shadow laughs. Shadow: No, I'm picking against Vin because he's an idiot. I mean, he hasn't even figured out that the SWA Title is not the “SWA Heavyweight Title” yet. Do I look like a heavyweight to you? Rick Malone: No way… you look amazing tonight, might I add? Shadow: Thank you, Rick. But honestly, for a man who says he wants to hold the title, I'm surprised that he doesn't even know its correct name. That's the reason I decided to teach him a lesson last week. Larry Milligan: You mean run away from your duties as champion to defend your title? Shadow: Please! Vin hadn't showed me that he was WORTH a title shot just yet. Maybe if he wins this match, I'll decide that he is, and give him one. Larry Milligan: Yeah right. Shadow: Hey, now that you've said that.. you're right. Maybe I won't. Ding ding ding! In the ring, the match begins with a quick tieup between Pierce and Halsted. Halsted, of course, wins this contest of strength, considering he has a good fifty pounds or so on his opponent. Halsted pushes Rey into the turnbuckle, slamming his back hard against the metal pole. The smaller man winces, and then Halsted pulls him out of the corner, Irish-whipping him across the ring, towards the other turnbuckle. Instead of slamming into it, Halsted pushes himself up into a handstand and vaults over Halsted just as he's charging for Rey. Halsted's shoulder slams into the turnbuckle, and as he turns around, he's met by a standing dropkick from Pierce that sends the bigger man down to the mat. Pierce dives in for the cover. 1… 2… Larry Milligan: Kickout by Halsted, early on. Shadow: Halsted's already being stupid… underestimating Pierce like he's doing right now is only going to get him the loss. Larry Milligan: What do you mean underestimating? Halsted just kicked out of a pin attempt! Rick Malone: Listen to the lady, Milly, she knows what she's talking about, and you obviously don't. Larry Milligan: I've been doing wrestling announcing longer than she's been wrestling. Shadow: What, do you want a cookie for it? Listen, Larry… you get your head out of your ass and then maybe you'll have reason to act self-righteous. Until then, why don't you shut up and let the people with more than half a brain do the commentary. Larry Milligan: Guess I'll be talking by myself then. Slap! The camera pans over to the announce table for a moment, where Larry Milligan is holding the side of his face, and Shadow is smirking in a rather satisfied manner. Rick Malone is cackling. Back in the ring, Pierce and Halsted are both back up to their feet, but this isn't going to last for long. Once again, Halsted's size comes into play, as he nails Pierce with a hard scoop-slam, and then goes for the cover. 1… 2… Pierce gets a shoulder up, and Halsted, in response, drives an elbow into his chest. The frustration of the past week seems to be getting to him quickly in the ring tonight, and Pierce is definitely paying for it. Halsted goes for another cover. 1… 2… Again, Pierce gets a shoulder up. Halsted picks up the cruiserweight, and throws him into the turnbuckle. He takes a running start, aiming a running splash at the smaller man, but at the last second, Pierce gets up a boot, ramming Halsted in the face. He follows up with a bounce off the ropes that leads into a flying bulldog. Rey rolls to his feet again, and jumps up to the top rope, looking like he's about to go for something impressive. Larry Milligan: Looks like we could be seeing some of Rey's trademark high-flying here. What good it will do against Halsted is debatable. Shadow: Do you always show this much journalistic bias against smaller opponents? Rick Malone: See? See what I have to deal with every week? Larry Milligan: Oh please, it's not like either of you can claim to be the pinnacle of professionalism. Suddenly, Rey launches himself off the top rope with a 630 leg drop, which nails Halsted brutally in the center of the ring. Once again, Rey goes for the pin, hooking the leg of the bigger man almost desperately--men his size obviously know that they've got to get the job done quickly, or they don't stand as much of a chance at winning. 1… 2… Larry Milligan: No! Shoulder up by Halsted, and Rey has missed another chance to end this match. Rick Malone: You are SO boring. Shadow rolls her eyes slightly, but she's more focused on the match. In the ring, Rey slams a fist into the canvas, but then gets to his feet, pulling Halsted with him. On the way up, he tries to lock Halsted into a headlock, but Halsted fights back, driving an elbow hard into Rey's solar plexus. This causes the small man to bend over at the waist--Halsted follows up with another elbow… then another. When Pierce is incapacitated, Halsted shoves him, stumbling and half bent over, into the ropes. On the return path, Halsted drops him with a high knee. He falls on his downed opponent and quickly locks in a Fujiwara armbar, using his strength to his advantage once again. Rick Malone: So what do you think, Shadow? Will Pierce tap out? Shadow: Considering how hefty Vin is, he may be in some trouble here. Larry Milligan: Oh, so you're admitting that Vin has talent? Shadow: No, I'm admitting that he has a few extra pounds on him. Halsted locks in the armbar as hard as he can--and with the size advantage, it's very hard to see how Pierce could possibly get out from under the big man and get to the ropes, or otherwise break the hold. Pierce starts to reach out for the ropes with his free hand, but Vin grimaces and locks the hold down harder. In an intense moment, the referee is in Pierce's face, asking him if he wants to submit. He shakes his head no, but his face is a mask of pain. Shadow: That's impressive resistance. I know his arm must be killing him from all that weight. Rey struggles for the ropes once more, but the pressure on his arm proves to be too much. He can't get there, so he finally lets his free hand pound the mat, tapping out to Halsted's armbar submission. Stacey Alexis: The winner of this match— Before Stacey can finish her announcement, Shadow has slid out of her seat, and laid Vin out in the ring, via a sneaky, quick enziguri to the face. With a smirk on her face, she rolls out of the ring, grabs her title, and starts making her way to the back, again amid a sea of boos. Rick Malone: That was brilliant! Larry Milligan: That sneaky witch! She just came down here to do that in the first place, it had NOTHING to do with commentating! Rick Malone: You're a little slow on the uptake, you know that?
