[Opening credits.]

Charlie Watkins – Live from the Brass Arena in New Orleans, Lousiana, this is Sunday Night Shockwave! Hello everyone, I’m Charlie Watkins and with me as always is Terry Hogan. We’ve got a star-studded lineup for everyone tonight.

Terry Hogan – That’s right, Charlie. All three singles belts are on the line. Kevin Steele tries to regain the Spotlight Title from John Steele.

Charlie Watkins – Don’t forget about the Quasar Title match pitting The Showstopper against the Russian Bear.

Terry Hogan – And also, the big one. Lawrence Rhodes put the Heavyweight Championship on the line against not one, but two top tier opponents, Janus and Not Applicable.

Charlie Watkins – Speaking of Rhodes, we’re about to hear from him right now.

[The lights dim as the music from a 2001: A Space Odyssey echoes around the arena. A single yellow tint spotlight shines down at the entrance as Ebony steps out from the back. She wears her customary tight white lycra top, a pair of well worn Levi 501 Jeans and grey snakeskin boots. She smiles for the closeup camera and indicates a title belt around her waist. She steps forward and begins to walk slowly towards the ring. She gets half way when a group of 5 red, white and blue bikini clad cheerleaders emerge. They stand at the top of the ramp ...and begin to shake their pom-poms. The camera then focuses on Ebony climbing the steel steps and entering the ring. She picks up a mic and stares out into the crowd.]

EBONY: Now before I start, I’d like to say that Lawrence is getting himself prepared for tonight's match ... well I say match, but I mean walk in the park against er ... Not Applicable and Janus. So he will not be coming out to address you tonight ... !!! Instead he has left that pleasure to ME.

[Ebony smiles ... as she seems to wink into the camera ... ]

EBONY: Now last week ... Lawrence was toying with everyone's favourite care bear, Nikita Morozov ...when Jet Jones thought he could steal our thunder. Out he came ... [Ebony smiles again] POW ... tries to get into the spotlight ... but that ego cant compete with Lawrences magnetism .. and has to go skulking back to the locker room. [A bit of crowd derision] Well that's the way I saw it ...

[The camera again focuses on the Cheerleaders at the top of the ramp. They have continued to dance and shake and are working up quite a bit of sweat.]

EBONY: Well Jett ... Showstopper ... you keep skulking and one day ... just one day you may make it. You see Jett you can take the biggest ... hey even the baddest, maybe the fattest, the friendliest ... the smelliest, ugliest damn wrestler in the training facility and you can beat his ass. But he aint 'Luscious' Lawrence Rhodes, he aint daddy big b%**%!$. Jett you can roll it all up, bring it all on .. do what you like ... but the mustard you don’t cut.

[Ebony now moves to one side of the ring. She leans on the ropes .. but quickly bounces back up.]

EBONY: Now let me get this right. Tonight ... here in Louisiana, 'Luscious' Lawrence Rhodes will be facing Not Applicable and Janus. Two men ... vying to be the new SWL Heavyweight Champion. Two men that have laboured in their respective careers ... now have a chance to step up to the mountaintop. NotApplicable .. [another camera closeup] all very apt ... so I suppose it means I dont have to comment. It's all in a name ... [shakes her head] its all in a name. [Again Ebony smiles] And Janus ... the man destined to bring about the end of the world. The Roman god of Beginnings and Endings. Well that's all jolly good ... beginnings and endings ... so what. In the beginning Janus, Lawrence will bitch slap you in the head ... and in the end he'll put his foot where the sun dont shine ... and I dont mean Birmingham, Alabama.

[Good crowd pop]

EBONY: So it was Lawrence who was hanging off of Billy Rocks coat tails. Hmmm ... [Ebony acts like the thinker and extenuates the rubbing of her chin.] Do the words pot ... kettle and black come to mind. Janus ... I seem to recall you being the floozy for the wrecking crew ... or should that be the water boy ... some shit dont stick. [Again Ebony smiles] Oh did you see my lips move Roman ... [she them over elaborates the sentance again ] ... SOME SHIT DONT STICK. Janus, you aint got the wit or the wisdom to take Lawrences belt. Nor the carisma or coherence ... nor the b%!!%£$ or the bundles of cash ... so if you think you is tha man ... then think again. Janus your a small fish in a big pond ... or maybe I should say you’re a tiddler. [Big Ebony smile] Janus, Not Applicable ... the sentence is complete ... because one way or another 'Luscious' Lawrence Rhodes aint about to lose to either of you fools ... [Ebony poses in the spotlight as the camera once again catches a closeup of the cheerleaders ... ]

Charlie Watkins – Ebony seems very confident of Rhodes’ ability.

Terry Hogan – Hey, she’s got every reason to be.

Charlie Watkins – Let’s get things moving with Diesel and Big D.

Anna Dea – The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from the Dungeon of Devastation, weighing in at 400 pounds, "Big D" Devastation!

[Morphine by Michael Jackson blares over the arena sound system as the lights in the arena dim. A huge spotlight focuses on the entrance curtain as "Big D" Devastation makes his way out into the arena. Big D walks slowly and methodically to the ring.]

Anna Dea – His opponent…

[Anna Dea is cut off as Diesel jumps over the security railing and slides in underneath the bottom rope.]

Terry Hogan – Look out behind you!

[Diesel attacks Big D from behind, but Big D spins around and hooks Diesel into a belly-to-belly suplex. Big D picks up Diesel and places his head between his knees. Big D hoists Diesel high into the air and delivers an awesome running powerbomb.]

Charlie Watkins – Devastator!

Terry Hogan – Already?

[Big D makes the pin…1…2…3!!!]

Anna Dea – Here is your winner, "Big D" Devastation!

Terry Hogan – Wow.

Charlie Watkins – With two incredible high-impact moves, Big D has destroyed the newcomer Diesel.

Terry Hogan – That was amazing.

Anna Dea – The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the SWL Spotlight Championship! Coming down the aisle, the challenger, accompanied by Melina Vandatar, from Treefall, California, weighing in at 250 pounds, one half of the SWL Tag Team Champions, Kevin Steele!

[The techno version of the "Phantom of the Opera" theme plays as smoke fills the entranceway. Kevin Steele makes his way to the ring with his trademark leather jacket, flanked by Melina Vandatar. He has the Tag Team belt around his waist. The pair enters the ring and Melina removes the jacket. Kevin Steele stands in the corner awaiting his opponent.]

Anna Dea – His opponent, ["Open your Eyes" by Guano Apes starts to play over the PA system.] hailing from Chicago, Illinois, and weighing in at 263 pounds, the SWL Spotlight Champion… here is… JOHN STEEEEELE!!!

[Steele parts the curtain to a roof-shaking ovation. He is wearing his usual ripped blue tights, along with a black leather jacket with the Statue of Liberty printed on the back. He is wearing his American flag bandana, and has a look of sheer intensity etched into his face. He makes his way down to the ring fairly slowly, slapping some high fives with the fans as he goes. He pauses to give his bandana to a young fan in the front row, before rolling into the ring. He removes the leather jacket, unstraps the Spotlight Title from his waist, and starts stretching in the corner, anxiously awaiting the opening bell.]

Charlie Watkins – Here we go. The Spotlight Belt is on the line.

Terry Hogan – John Steele is fast on his way to becoming one of the best Spotlight champs we’ve had in a long time, but Kevin Steele is a former Spotlight Champion himself.

[The bell rings and John and Kevin circle each other. They tie up and John puts on a side headlock. Kevin counters with a hammerlock. John breaks free and hip tosses Kevin. Kevin is quickly up and John whips him into the ropes. John charges and hits Kevin with a knee to the gut that turns Kevin for a loop. John makes the pin on Kevin but only gets a one count.]

Terry Hogan – WAY too early for that.

[Kevin ducks a clothesline from John and hooks him into an atomic drop. John staggers and Kevin delivers a back suplex. Kevin steps to the apron and climbs to the top rope. John gets up slowly and falls into the ropes. Kevin slips and straddles the top turnbuckle.]

Charlie Watkins – There’s just no good place to sit when you’re up there.

[John climbs the turnbuckle, hooking Kevin in a front facelock. John goes for a superplex, but it is blocked. Kevin shoves John off the turnbuckle and flies off the top with a leg drop. Kevin goes for a pin and John kicks out at the last second.]

Charlie Watkins – We were just inches away from a new Spotlight champion there.

[John gets up slowly and Kevin charges him. John ducks a clothesline and counters with a reverse neckbreaker. John picks up Kevin and delivers a jumping piledriver. John signals to the crowd and hits the spinning backbreaker.]

Charlie Watkins – The Liberty!

Terry Hogan – Kevin Steele won’t get up from that.

[John Steele makes the pin…1…2…3!]

Anna Dea – The winner of this match and still SWL Spotlight Champion, John Steele!

Charlie Watkins – And John Steele wins a hard fought battle to retain the Spotlight Championship.

Terry Hogan – What’s up next?

Charlie Watkins – Former tag champions against possible future tag champions. The Dragon and Justin Arcola take on Xtreme Velocity.

Anna Dea – The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, the challengers, at a total combined weight of 471 pounds, Richard Starr and Jason Blade, Xtreme Velocity!

[The sound system plays "Radar Rider" by Riggs as Jason Blade and Richard Starr walk up the ramp. Both men are wearing blue wrestling pants with a red lightning bolt running down the left leg. On each left leg is the following word, also in red: WOR. Starr is 6'1" and fairly muscular, Blade is 6"4" and fit but thin. The two men touch knuckles, then race to the ring. Starr slides under the bottom rope, Blade jumps to the ring apron and flips over the top rope. They go to opposite corners and stand on the second rope.]

Anna Dea - And their opponents, at a total combined weight of 482 pounds, making their return to the tag team ranks, the former SWL Tag Team Champions, "The Dragon" Ty Shun Ho and Justin Arcola!!!

["Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N’ Roses plays as a weird Japanese symbol appears on the Jumbotron. Ty Shun Ho steps out from the curtain onto the ramp and points to the back. Justin Arcola steps out and they stand side-by-side as blasts of fire go off behind them. They make their way to the ring.]

Charlie Watkins – Xtreme Velocity have surprised many people, but now they’ve got a real challenge ahead of them.

Terry Hogan – Tonight, we’re going to see who the better team is.

[The bell rings and Arcola and Starr start the match. The tie up and Arcola goes behind Starr. Arcola takes down Starr by the waist and goes on top with a hammerlock. Starr tries to fight up, but can’t get the leverage. Arcola drives a knee into the back of Starr. Suddenly, Blade can be seen climbing the turnbuckle. Blade flies off the ropes with a missile dropkick to Arcola before quickly exiting the ring.]

Charlie Watkins – Blade risking disqualification there.

Terry Hogan – He’s got the count of five to get out.

[Ty Shun Ho tries to get into the ring, but the referee holds him back. Blade and Starr switch places without making a tag. Blade lays several kicks into Arcola before whipping him into the ropes. Blade goes for a hurricanrana, but Arcola blocks it and slams him down with a powerbomb.]

Charlie Watkins – Nice heads-up by Justin Arcola.

Terry Hogan – He’s got a big size advantage over Jason Blade.

[Arcola tags in Ty Shun Ho who climbs to the top turnbuckle. He gives Blade a vertical suplex and Ty Shun Ho flies off with a shooting star press. Ho goes for the pin and only gets two. Blade gets up and Ho delivers his snap roundhouse kick to Blade’s face, knocking him down and busting him open.]

Terry Hogan – Blade needs to watch out; The Dragon is lethal with his feet.

[Ho tags in Arcola and Blade scrambles to the corner to tag Starr. The two fresh men trade punches and Starr gets the upper hand. He whips Arcola into the ropes and powerslams him. Starr delivers a forearm smash off the second rope and goes for a pin. Arcola kicks out at two.]

Charlie Watkins – Richard Starr almost had him there.

[Starr tags in Blade and they go for Whiplash, but Ty Shun Ho enters the ring and drops Starr with a quick face buster. Arcola signals to Ho and Ho climbs the turnbuckle. Arcola whips Blade into the ropes and lifts him into a flapjack position. As they are coming down, Ho dives off the ropes and hits a missile dropkick square in the head of Blade. Blade’s body crumples as he hits the mat.]

Charlie Watkins – What a move!

Terry Hogan – That’s it for Blade.

[Arcola makes the pin…1…2…3!]

Anna Dea – Here are your winners, Justin Arcola and Ty Shun Ho!

Charlie Watkins – So the former tag champs rekindle their alliance with a big win tonight.

Anna Dea – The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the SWL Quasar Championship! Coming down the aisle, the challenger, from Highlands, North Carolina, weighing in at 283 pounds, "The Showstopper" Jett Jones!

["HELLS BELLS" by AC/DC booms over the PA system-the sound echoes through the whole arena-blue, white and black spotlights pan around the fans and ringside area-the spotlights stop and the whole arena is black and then.........BOOM,BAM,BOOM-Pyro explodes from the entrance area and out walks "The Showstopper" Jett Jones-He is arm & arm with Daisy-Jett has on white wrestling trunks with blue trim and on the back in big,bold letters it says "The Showstopper" in black, he also has on a pair of chrome X-METAL Oakleys-Daisy escorts The Showstopper onto the stage as she smiles and waves at the fans-The Showstopper takes her down the ramp as he is slapping the fans hands-They walk up the steps together-Jett holds the middle rope so Daisy can get in easy and then he jumps in-The Showstopper runs and jumps up onto a turnbuckle and more pyro explodes from the ring.]

Anna Dea – His opponent, from St. Petersburg, Russia, weighing in at 285 pounds, the SWL Quasar Champion, "The Russian Bear" Nikita Morosov!!!

[Curmina Burona plays as Nikita Morosov steps out into the entranceway. He is wearing his traditional orange and red gear and has his chain wrapped around the shoulders. He indicates the belt around his waist and makes his way to the ring. He stands in the ring, unstraps the Quasar belt, and holds it up with one hand to a mixed reaction from the crowd.]

Charlie Watkins – A big opportunity for the Showstopper tonight.

Terry Hogan – I’d say it’s more of an opportunity for the Russian Bear to gain revenge for Jones’ actions last week.

[The bell rings and Morosov lays into Jones, striking him with forearm shots. Morosov whips Jones into the corner and hits a running clothesline. Morosov whips Jones into the opposite corner and charges in again. Jones hits Morosov with a reverse elbow and shoots himself out of the corner with a lariat.]

Charlie Watkins – These are two gigantic men who appear to just want to beat the hell out of one another.

[Jones picks up Morosov and goes for a DDT. Morosov counters with a Northern Lights suplex and bridges into a pin. Jones kicks out at two. Morosov gets up and flattens Jones with a gargoyle suplex. Morosov wipes his sweat off on Jones.]

Charlie Watkins – Morosov is back in control now.

Terry Hogan – Admit it, Charlie. Morosov is the much more accomplished wrestler.

[Morosov whips Jones into the ropes and lowers his head for a back drop. Jones sees it and counters with a swinging neckbreaker. Morosov gets up and Jones hits a spine buster.]

Charlie Watkins – Jones building momentum.

Terry Hogan – Nah, Morosov is just lulling him into a false sense of security.

[Morosov gets up slowly and Jones hooks him around the chest, lifts him high into the air and drives him into the mat.]

Charlie Watkins – Thriller!

Terry Hogan – What? No way!

[Jones makes the pin…1…2…3!]

Anna Dea – The winner of this match and NEW SWL Quasar Champion, "The Showstopper" Jett Jones!

Charlie Watkins – We’ve got a new champion!

Terry Hogan – This is impossible. How did it happen?

Charlie Watkins – Everyone, including Morosov…and you…underestimated the Showstopper here tonight. And that cost the Russian Bear big time. There’s a new Quasar Champion in the SWL!

Anna Dea – The following contest is a Three Way Dance for the SWL Heavyweight Championship!

[POP]

Anna Dea – Coming down the aisle, weighing in at 128 kilograms, Not Applicable!

[Bawitdaba by Kid Rock begins to play through out the arena and the fans immediately begin to boo harshly. After about 5 seconds of music Not Applicable comes out of the entrance area and heads to the ring area. He looks neither left nor right but straight ahead. He is wearing a pair of ripped up jeans, a black shirt that fails to hide his well muscled upper body. On his face is a simple black mask that conceals his true identity. When he rolls into the ring he looks at the referee and shakes his head when the referee attempts to check him and he can be overheard saying that the rules don’t apply to him and to back the hell off. He goes to a neutral corner and awaits the bell.]

Anna Dea – His opponent, from Rome, Italy, weighing in at 285 pounds, Janus!

["When Worlds Collide" by Powerman 5000 hits as Janus comes out in a dark gray robe. His hood remains on until his music stops. He removes his hood and enters the ring.]

Anna Dea – And their opponent, accompanied to the ring by Ebony, from London, England, weighing in at 293 pounds, the SWL Heavyweight Champion of the World, "Luscious" Lawrence Rhodes!!!

[The prodigy mix of Methodmans 'Release Yo'delf echoes around the arena. A yellowish hue lights the entrance as Ebony steps out from the back. She is wearing her tight white lycra top and the large well worn Levi 501 Jeans and grey snakeskin boots. She holds triumphantly the SWL Heavyweight Championship belt. She stands surveying the crowd, and is grinning from ear to ear. 'Luscious' Lawrence Rhodes steps out from the back. Rhodes has on a pair of brown snake skin spandex jodpurs and matching snakeskin boots. He stands behind Ebony and the camera picks up a certain look of intensity on his face. As the pair begin the walk towards the ring, the five Cheerleaders emerge from the back. They continue to wave their rather large pom-poms as they cavort around in their red, white and blue little numbers. The camera catches Rhodes shaking his head, as he continues to move towards the ring. Rhodes surveys the crowd as he goes. Ebony climbs the steel steps, closely followed by Lawrence Rhodes who holds the ropes open for her to enter. He quickly follows ... then backs into the corner as Ebony holds the belt aloft.]

Charlie Watkins – This is it. Rhodes defends his title tonight against two of the top contenders here in the SWL.

Terry Hogan – And remember: if either N/A or Janus pin each other, Rhodes loses the belt.

[Janus attacks N/A and the bell rings. Janus backs N/A into the corner and hits him with several knee lifts to the midsection. Janus whips N/A towards the opposite corner, where he runs into a big clothesline from Rhodes.]

Charlie Watkins – Who’d have ever thought we’d see Janus and Rhodes working together?

Terry Hogan – Well, they can’t both win, so don’t expect it to last too long.

[Janus delivers a DDT to N/A and goes for a pin. Rhodes pulls him off. Rhodes gives N/A a pendulum backbreaker and goes for a pin. Janus pulls Rhodes off. Janus and Rhodes have a stare down and Janus sucker punches Rhodes.]

Terry Hogan – See? I told you.

[Janus muscles up Rhodes into a bodyslam. N/A comes from behind Janus and delivers a reverse DDT drop. N/A picks up Rhodes and whips him into the ropes. N/A jumps on Rhodes’ back with a sleeper hold. Rhodes backs N/A into the corner and N/A releases it. Janus hooks Rhodes into a reverse brainbuster.]

Charlie Watkins – The End!

Terry Hogan – Janus could pull this one out!

[Janus goes for the pin, but N/A breaks it up. Janus swings at N/A, but N/A ducks. Janus spins around and gets a boot to the midsection…APPLICATION!!!]

Charlie Watkins – There it is! The Application!

[N/A pins Janus and Rhodes breaks it up. Janus slides out of the ring and gets a steel chair. Rhodes lifts N/A onto his shoulder and delivers the running powerslam.]

Charlie Watkins – One for the Ladies!

Terry Hogan – Oh my God! This is incredible!

[Rhodes makes the pin on N/A…1…2…SLAM! Janus nails Rhodes with a steel chair across the back, breaking up the count.]

Terry Hogan – Hey ref!

Charlie Watkins – This is a Three Way match, Terry. No DQ’s.

[N/A slowly gets up and Janus smashes the chair across N/A’s head. Janus drops the chair and gives N/A The End on top of it.]

Charlie Watkins – What a shot!

Terry Hogan – Not Applicable will be missing a few brain cells after that.

[Janus dumps Rhodes out of the ring and makes the pin on N/A…1…2…3!]

Charlie Watkins – Janus wins it! We’ve got a new champion!

Anna Dea – The winner of this match…and NEW SWL Heavyweight Champion, Janus!

Terry Hogan – No way! Rhodes didn’t lose; he wasn’t pinned!

Charlie Watkins – That’s the way the rules are set up. Janus snuck in the proverbial back door after Not Applicable got One for the Ladies and gave him a viscous chair shot and the reverse brainbuster onto the chair. That was all she wrote.

Terry Hogan – All I can say is Rhodes better get a rematch next week.

Charlie Watkins – He may very well. It’s up to President Williams. Ladies and Gentlemen, we’ll see you next week in Amstredam. Keep reaching for those Stars!
