Charlie Watkins – Ladies and gentlemen, live and 70,000 fans strong from the Alamo Dome in San Antonio, Texas, this is Sunday Night Shockwave!

[Rumble of cheering fans.]

Terry Hogan – This is incredible, Charlie! Seventy thousand strong have jam packed the arena tonight. And we’ve got a hell of a lineup for them!

Charlie Watkins – That’s right, Terry. We’re one week away from Unfamiliar Territory, and we’ve got a lot of ground to cover. Former tag champs going one on one, number one contenders facing off, and a main event pitting champion against champion.

[The lights dim in the arena.]

Terry Hogan – Looks like we’re about to get started.

(A ominous shadow is cast across the arena. Seconds later guitar chords strum out of the darkness. Blue and orange tint the atmosphere as white stars begin soaring through the crowd. And just as we hear the roaring "WHATEVER IT TAKES!!!", "The Kid" Billy Rock stands in the mouth of the aisle. His carmel blonde, shoulder length hair damply swings over his lightly bearded face. The Kid remains calm, scanning his surroundings near the aisle while a sneer crawls across his lips. Then, in unision with the first string of lyrics, The Kid walks through the aisle while his chest inflates with intensity. Billy cuts a path toward the safety railing near the ring and shakes hands with a man nearing his late fifty's, then hugs him. The older woman next to him kisses Billy on the cheek and embraces him as well. Billy climbs into the ring and stands on the second turnbuckle. While there he steps on the top rope and keeps his other foot planted. The Kid slings his head backward, snapping the wet hair out of his face. His eyes hunt through the fans, then he lifts the SWL World Heavyweight Title into the sky for a matter of seconds before climbing down and grabbing the microphone. Rage laces The Kid's voice ... )

THE KID - Ladies and gentlemen, joining us in the front row tonight are two of the greatest people I know. I love them to death, and they are just as disappointed in Nicole Thatcher as I am, because they're her parents, and they know that "The Kid" Billy Rock is the not the picture of evil that Johnny Spades is painting me to be.

THE KID - Speaking of which, some of you see me through eyes tinted with pity. Some of you, the feeble minded ones, see me through the deception that Johnny Spades has used to impair your vision. It's hard for most of you to see me at all through the chaos surrounding me. To the untrained eye it seems like my whole world is rapidly crumbling. My girlfriend is trapped in the arms of another man. My two best friends question my motives. My own boss, Brian Williams, has appointed himself special referee for my Title defense at Unfamiliar Territory so he can attempt to officially screw me. Well the dirt under my feet is level and stable. So hear this: "The Kid" Billy Rock is sick and tired of trying to preserve the peace around here. I'm in over my head trying to maintain order. All this time I've been thinking about the right thing to do. When Nicole was brainwashed by Johnny Spades, I did the right thing and gave her the benifit of the doubt. I put way too much hope and trust into her naivety. When Brian Williams stood in my face and spewed his accusations with that alcohol stained breath, I did the right thing and let him walk away without the hole I was this close (holds fingers inches apart) to putting through his neck. When Lawrence Rhodes new trick, what's her name? Yoko? When she reached into the ring and wrapped her slimy tentacles around my ankle, I did the right thing and asked before opening fire. When I thought Vindicator had enough time to abort that swing to avoid my face, I did the right thing and I questioned his intentions.

(The Kid walks a lap around the ring, shaking his head ... )

THE KID - You know what? F*CK THE RIGHT THING! From now on I do MY THING!

(POP!)

THE KID - From now on, MY WAY is the right way! From now on I squeeze the trigger first and ask questions later! Nicole, you want to be with Spades? You want to wear skirts so high that the world can see where you tattooed my name when you cross your legs? Go ahead. Take that step, but there ain't no turning back. There ain't no backing up and you can't undo this. You're trusting Johnny Spades as your guide through my world! It's no wonder you're so lost. So when you do find your way back to me, when you do hit your knees in that final desparate plea for redemption, I'm gonna put you back on the path, sweety. The one that leads straight out of the SWL and out of my life. You're right, you're not the innocent Little Rock girl I fell in love with. You've become a traveling immoral circus of stupidity that I'm about to collapse the tent on.

THE KID - Spades, as for you, you have never held my shoulders to the mat long enough to satisfy your twisted obsession of conquering The Kid. So you go ahead and flash your money to anyone with a camera crew and bored enough to stick a microphone in your face. Boast all you want about beating Lawrence Rhodes and Vindicator, but after Unfamiliar Territory try bragging that the only thing you took from me was the worst beating of your life. See how many microphones are pointed toward you while I'm giving my victory speech. And the thing that's going to make this loss even more damaging to your career and your quest for this belt is that I don't even care about beating you again. I've proven I can do that, and without a hitch. That's not my motive.

THE KID - Next Sunday I'm parking my truck in the lot, I'm stepping through the front doors, I'm walking that aisle, and I'm climbing into this ring to beat something out of you that you've never, ever given Nicole, the SWL, Brian Williams, the fans, or me. The truth. The world will know that those pictures you took are about as suspicious as the Pope in church. You will leave an impression on the SWL Sunday. You will leave your mark. It's just too bad that it'll be in chalk ... and in the shape of your limp carcass.

THE KID - Speaking of carcasses, do you think Erection Mary is stout enough to drag yours back up the aisle, Ghost Going Nowhere?

(Mixed reaction ... )

THE KID - I didn't try to make an enemy of you, Casper. So you should tighten the lid on your contempt for me and The Regulators right now. If it weren't for myself and the Vindicator you'd still be reminding us what your name is. You think that second string hunk of metal and leather around your waist immortalizes you in the SWL? That Quasar belt is fools gold, my friend, 'cause you're a damned fool if you think The Kid or anyone else with real goals and aspirations gives a f*ck about it. That belt has been worn almost as much as Erection Mary's face at a frat party. So you don't care about my title, I don't care about yours either. I'm going to use you tonight, Casper. The blood you're close to spilling is only the ink that I need to dot the I's and cross the T's on the message I'm gonna send to Johnny Spades. Do you understand that, boy? This is not going to be a friendly contest. There won't be any handshaking or pausing for compliments. There won't be any drama or mystery surrounding the outcome of this match. The only thing you can bet your life on is that you're walking your ass into a slaughter.

THE KID - I'll guarantee you this too. My name isn't the only piece of me your little girlfriend wants to play with. (smirk) You want notoriety, boy? It's only a few minutes away. Right here in this very ring. The Kid's gonna make you famous.

(The Kid drops the mic as his music amplifies. He walks by the Thatcher's once again and thanks them for coming before moving up the aisle and disappearing backstage ... )

Terry Hogan – Wow.

Charlie Watkins – The Kid making his feelings perfectly known.

Terry Hogan – And can you believe it? Nicole Thatcher’s parents are here in attendance…and at ringside, no less.

Charlie Watkins – That could prove to be a factor should their daughter make her presence felt. Well, ladies and gentlemen, we’ve got to get moving with a newcomer, Richard Starr, taking on Johnny Wonderful.

Terry Hogan – What? We’ve got to see MORE of that idiot?

Anna Dea – The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Coming down to the ring at this time, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 234 pounds, Johnny Wonderful.

[Johnny Wonderful makes his way to the ring.]

Terry Hogan – I’ve noticed Johnny Wonderful doesn’t have any entrance music. How about Beck’s "Loser"?

["Open your Eyes" by Guano Apes starts to play over the PA system and John Steele begins to make his way to the ring in wrestling gear.]

Terry Hogan – Wait a minute. John Steele has already destroyed Wonderful. What’s he doing here?

Charlie Watkins – He’s not scheduled until later, but I think we’re about to find out.

[John Steele asks for the mike from Anna Dea. She gives it to him with a shy little smile.]

Terry Hogan – I’m telling you. She’s got a thing for the Liberator.

John Steele: Thanks Anna. Most of you must be asking themselves the same question. Why, in god's name, is John Steele here in the ring?

[He waits for some moments, walking around the ring, trying to find the right words.]

John Steele: Four years ago, I entered a wrestling ring for the first time. It was a small league, I was a young rookie, I didn't know what expected me, I was just happy that someone had given me a chance. A few months earlier it seemed like I would be selling fast-food for the rest of my life. It didn't take me half a year, before I won the first title. I had a lot of friends in these four year, and a lot of people learned what it means to face "The Liberator" and be on the receiving end of the "Liberty". Some people said that they had made me what I am today, but I proved them all wrong. If there's one person that taught me what it means to be a wrestler, someone our children see on TV, a fighter for truth and justice, a man that never gives up, a warrior of rock, then it's the man I'd like to introduce now.

John Steele: So…without further ado, Mr. Wonderful’s opponent, from Summerside, Prince Edward Island, Canada, weighing in at 248 pounds, Richard Starr!

[The fans look toward the entrance ramp as "Thunder" by AC/DC blasts from the sound system. Nobody emerges as the opening instrumental plays, and the audience is growing restless. Suddenly, just as the first chant of "thunder!" is heard, Richard Starr exits the pipe and stands on the ramp, looking over the crowd. He is wearing silver tights, with his last name written in blue down each pant leg. His shin-high boots are navy blue. He is wearing a pair of armbands, on one is the phrase "Made in Canada" and on the other is a red maple leaf. After a long moment, Starr drops to one knee and pumps his left arm several times. He jumps back to his feet and walks toward the ring, clapping the outstretched hands of the fans. He jumps to the ring apron and vaults over the top rope. As he lands inside the ring, he spins in a circle with his arms raised in the air. Coming to a stop, he rips off the arm bands and throws them into the crowd.]

[Steele and Starr shake hands and Steele exits the arena.]

Charlie Watkins – The Canadian Hero makes his debut tonight.

Terry Hogan – Yeah, but you have to remember that we’re in Texas. The phrase "Canadian Hero" means about as much to these people as "clam chowder". He’s going to have to display some wrestling talent. Luckily, he’s in there with Wonderful, so that shouldn’t be difficult.

Charlie Watkins – Will you stop picking on Johnny Wonderful already? He earns his paycheck a hell of a lot more than you do.

[The bell rings and the two men tie up. Johnny Wonderful executes a quick fireman’s carry takedown and goes on top of Starr with a headlock. Starr stands and scissor sweeps Wonderful. Starr applies a waistlock and pulls up Wonderful. Starr hits Wonderful with a side suplex.]

Charlie Watkins – Nice move there by Richard Starr.

[Starr whips Wonderful into the ropes and backdrops him. He drops a leg on Wonderful and goes for a pin. Wonderful kicks out at two. Starr picks up Wonderful and knees him in the gut. He runs into the ropes and delivers a swinging neckbreaker. Starr whips Wonderful into the ropes again and hotshots him off the top. Starr signals to the crowd.]

Charlie Watkins – This one might be over in a hurry.

Terry Hogan – "Might be?"

[Starr begins to twist Wonderful around into a regular neckbreaker. Instead of dropping him, however, he wrenches back on the neck of Wonderful in a submission hold. Wonderful immediately gives up.]

Terry Hogan (singing) – "I’m a loser babyyyyyy…so why don’t you kill me?"

Anna Dea – Here is your winner, Richard Starr!

Charlie Watkins – And the Canadian Hero picks up a win with his finsher, the Neckrack.

[Richard Starr leaves the ring and Johnny Wonderful takes the microphone from Anna Dea.]

Charlie Watkins – What is this? Is Johnny Wonderful going to speak?

Wonderful – You know. Almost every week, I come out here and do my job of making other wrestlers look good. It’s not a pleasant job, but it’s the one that I get paid for. Maybe I’m not the best wrestler around, maybe I’m not the most handsome face or the most eloquent speaker, but one thing I don’t need…[points at announcer’s table] is YOU, Terry Hogan, making a mockery out of the job that I do. Like Charlie Watkins said, I don’t see YOU in this ring week in and week out getting beat up so that you can put food in your kids’ mouths. No, you’ve got a cushy little job over there at the table cracking lousy jokes and making obvious uninsightful comments about wrestling matches. Well, I’ll tell you what: you want to ridicule what I do for a living? Why don’t you bring your ass into this ring next week at Unfamiliar Territory and we’ll go one on one? You’ll see exactly what it’s like to get smacked around for the amusement of others.

Terry Hogan (standing) – Is he challenging me, Charlie?

Charlie Watkins – It sure sounds like it, tough guy. Why don’t you go up there and answer him?

[Hogan takes off his headset and enters the ring. He takes the microphone from Wonderful.]

Terry Hogan – Let me get this straight, you little curtain jerker. Are you challenging me to a match?

Wonderful – You’re damn right I am. You scared of me? Maybe this will help you make up your mind.

[Wonderful kicks Hogan in the midsection to a big crowd pop. He puts Hogan’s head between his legs, grabs his belt, and delivers a stunt-pull piledriver. The crowd goes wild and Wonderful exits the ring.]

Charlie Watkins – Oh my goodness! Terry Hogan has been humiliated in front of seventy thousand people. I guess we’ll see those two one on one next week.

Anna Dea – The following contest is scheduled for one fall. 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.]

Charlie Watkins – Terry? Are you back with us? How are you feeling?

Terry Hogan – How do you think I’m feeling, you idiot? I just got dropped on my head. Johnny Wonderful has got hell to pay next week, let me tell you.

Charlie Watkins – You sure you know what you’re getting into?

Terry Hogan – Come on. How much trouble could that curtain jerker be?

Anna Dea – And 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… here is… JOHN "THE LIBERATOR" 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, and starts stretching in the corner, anxiously awaiting the opening bell.]

Charlie Watkins – This will be a good one, folks.

Terry Hogan – Absolutely. You’ve got the cream of the crop of the newcomers going one on one. We’ll see who comes out on top.

[N/A attacks Steele and the bell rings. N/A delivers several forearms that daze Steele. N/A attempts to go for the Application right away, but Steele slips out of his grip and counters with a boot to the midsection followed by a flowing DDT.]

Charlie Watkins – Both men going for the jugular right away.

[N/A gets up dazed and Steele charges him. N/A backdrops Steele over the ropes to the outside. N/A steps out to the apron and delivers a flying forearm. N/A military presses Steele and drops him on the security railing.]

Terry Hogan – Not Applicable is quickly turning this into a brawl. I don’t think Steele is in a good spot.

[N/A goes to whip Steele into the ringpost, but Steele reverses it and N/A impacts with the steel steps. Steele delivers a Gargoyle suplex on the floor and N/A clutches his back. Steele rams N/A’s back into the ringpost and rolls him into the ring.]

Charlie Watkins – Not Applicable appears to have hurt his back.

Terry Hogan – Not a good body part to injure when you’re in the ring with the Liberator.

[Steele lifts N/A up into the spinning backbreaker. N/A screams in pain. As Steele is moving around, though, N/A grabs the ropes and uses them as leverage to take both him and Steele down. Steele gets his head caught underneath N/A’s knee on the way down. The two men get up slowly. N/A delivers a kick to the midsection…Application!]

Charlie Watkins – There’s the Application!

Terry Hogan – That’s all she wrote.

[N/A makes the pin…1…2…3!!!]

Anna Dea – Here is your winner, Not Applicable!

Charlie Watkins – What an exciting match!

Terry Hogan – The Liberator gave it all he had, but came up just a little short.

Anna Dea – The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from St. Petersburg, Russia, weighing in at 285 pounds, "The Russian Bear" Nikita Morosov!

[Russian Natl Anthem blares as Morozov walks to the ring, chain wrapped around his shoulders and the Russian flag in his hand. The crowd boos him and he soaks it in with a smirk.]

Anna Dea – And his opponent, from Australia, weighing in at 315 pounds, MOB Squad!

["Guerrilla Warfare" by Rage Against the Machine blares, as MOB Squad walks towards the ring.]

Charlie Watkins – Who’d have thought we’d see this match on Shockwave? These two were partners in the tag title hunt not too long ago.

Terry Hogan – Well, now they’re adversaries in the race for the Spotlight Title. That’s the way the booking goes.

[The bell rings and the two big men meet in the center of the ring. They begin to trash talk and start a shoving match. MOB Squad lays a sucker punch into Morosov. The two tie up and jockey for position. MOB Squad shoves Morosov into the ropes and makes a slow, clean break. Morosov gouges MOB Squad in the eye.]

Charlie Watkins – Never give the benefit of the doubt to the Russian Bear.

Terry Hogan – Hey, he was just returning the favor.

[Morosov applies a side headlock and MOB Squad shoots him into the ropes. Morosov shoulder blocks MOB Squad, staggering him but not knocking him down. Morosov comes back with a running clothesline that takes him down to one knee. Morosov scoops up MOB Squad and bodyslams him.]

Charlie Watkins – Nice display of strength there by Morosov.

[Morosov goes for a running elbow, but MOB Squad moves out of the way. MOB Squad picks up Morosov and delivers a pendulum backbreaker. Morosov gets up and walks into a DDT from MOB Squad. MOB Squad walks to the outside and climb to the top rope.]

Charlie Watkins - MOB Squad taking a chance.

Terry Hogan – This isn’t where we normally see him.

[Morosov staggers up and falls into the ropes. MOB Squad straddles the top turnbuckle. Morosov tosses him to the mat, climbs the turnbuckle, and delivers a flying clothesline off the top.]

Charlie Watkins – There’s the Russian Sickle.

Terry Hogan – Is that going to be enough?

[Morosov makes the pin…1…2…MOB Squad gets his foot on the rope, but the referee doesn’t see it…3!]

Anna Dea – The winner of this match, "The Russian Bear" Nikita Morosov!

Terry Hogan – Wait a minute. MOB Squad had his foot on the rope. He’s been screwed again.

Charlie Watkins – I guess if the ref didn’t see it, it didn’t count. But you know this rivalry is far from over. MOB Squad will be looking to take both men out next week and get his hands on the title belt.

[MOB Squad approaches the referee angrily and Morosov grabs his chain and a microphone.]

Charlie Watkins – I don’t like the looks of this.

Morozov [to a mixed reaction of cheers and jeers]: This is the time when I destroy my already fallen opponent, however, MOB you are my ally, and I will not subject you to this pain. Instead, Kevin Steele, I am going to save all the pain for you at the next Pay Per View!!!

[The lights go out for a few seconds and when they come back up, Morosov is gone, leaving MOB Squad alone in the ring.]

Charlie Watkins – What the?

Terry Hogan – The Russian Bear is gone. Where do you think he went, Charlie?

Charlie Watkins – I don’t know, but we do have to keep moving. This next match is an extremely vital one.

Anna Dea – The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Coming down the aisle, from Rochester, New York, weighing in at 252 pounds, Justin Arcola!

[Wagner’s "Ride of the Valkyries" cuts over the PA as Justin Arcola steps into the entranceway and raises his hand in a clenched fist over his head. He waits for the brass section to kick in and begins the slow and methodical walk to the ring. He stands on the second turnbuckle and takes in the applause of the fans.]

Anna Dea – And his opponent, from Osaka, Japan, weighing in at 230 pounds, "The Dragon" Ty Shun Ho!

["Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns and Roses plays as a weird Japanese symbol shows on the jumbotron. An explosion of red and green go off as Ty Shun Ho walks out. He stands on the outside of the ring and flips over the ropes to the middle of the ring. He flexes his biceps.]

Charlie Watkins – Another match with former partners going at it. And it’s strange to see these two without the Tag Titles in their possession.

Terry Hogan – That’s right. If The Dragon wins this match, we’ll probably never see it again, because the team will split. If Arcola wins, however, the team makes one more run at the belts next week at Unfamiliar Territory.

[The bell rings and Arcola and Ho shake hands. They tie up and Ho applies a hammerlock. Arcola goes for the leg but Ho pulls him back and takes him down. Ho goes on top with a headlock. Arcola stands and uses leverage to pull Ho over his shoulder and execute an armbar takedown. Ho reaches for the ropes and Arcola breaks the hold.]

Charlie Watkins – Nice exchange from the former tag champs.

[Arcola and Ho tie up again and Arcola forces Ho into the corner. He whips Ho into the opposite corner and charges in. Ho leapfrogs over Arcola and rolls him up from behind. Arcola kicks out at one. Ho charges in again and Arcola scissor sweeps him. Ty Shun Ho hits the mat face first. He gets up angrily and gets in Arcola’s face. He and Arcola exchange some jaw-jacking and Arcola hits Ho with a right hand. Ho chops Arcola in the center of the chest and Arcola goes down to one knee.]

Charlie Watkins – Well, we expected a spirited wrestling match, but I think the battle instincts just took over.

Terry Hogan – You knew it would happen sooner or later.

[Ho whips Arcola into the corner and charges in, springboarding over the ropes and delivering a flying knee on the way over. Arcola goes down and Ho waits on the apron. Arcola gets up and Ho springs to the top rope. He leaps off and goes for a spinning hurricanrana. Arcola blocks it and powerbombs him.]

Terry Hogan – When all else fails, go with the power moves.

Charlie Watkins – Arcola definitely has the size and power, but is it enough to counter the lightning-quick speed of The Dragon?

[Arcola hooks Ty Shun Ho around the waist and delivers a big German suplex. He bridges into a pin, but only gets two. Ho gets up and Arcola hooks his arms and turns him into a backslide. Ho again kicks out at two. Arcola delivers a jumping piledriver.]

Terry Hogan – That has to be it.

[Arcola makes a cutthroat motion and steps to the outside. He climbs to the top rope.]

Charlie Watkins – This is not normally where we see Arcola.

[Ho stands and charges the corner as Arcola is balancing himself. He jumps to the second turnbuckle before Arcola knows what is going on and delivers a big Japanese arm drag that sends Arcola crashing to the mat.]

Terry Hogan – Did you see that? The Dragon arm-dragged Arcola off the top rope.

Charlie Watkins – How bad do both of these men want this win? I know it’s SWL competition at it’s finest, but these guys are supposed to be friends.

Terry Hogan – All friendships are null and void in that ring, Charlie.

[Ty Shun Ho whips Arcola into the ropes. Arcola ducks Ho’s flying calf kick and Ho hits the mat hard. Arcola pounces on Ho and applies a Canadian Crossface headlock. Ho screams in pain and Arcola pulls back harder.]

Terry Hogan – Justin Arcola is trying to wrench some tough love into his partner.

[Arcola releases the hold and pulls Ty Shun Ho up off the canvas. He lifts Ho into a powerbomb position and brings him down sideways on the turnbuckle. Arcola drags Ho to the center of the ring and goes for the Arcola Driver. Ho swings his legs up and hooks Arcola around the head, delivering a hurricanrana. Ho stands, hooks Arcola around the waist, and delivers a spinning piledriver.]

Charlie Watkins – Dragon Driver!

Terry Hogan – I don’t believe it!

[Ty Shun Ho makes the pin…1…2…3!!!]

Anna Dea – Here is your winner, "The Dragon" Ty Shun Ho!

Charlie Watkins – And the former tag champs are going to part ways.

[Arcola rolls out of the ring and begins a slow walk to the back. He turns back to The Dragon in the ring and salutes him. The Dragon bows to Arcola in respect.]

Terry Hogan – And parting they are, on friendly terms it seems. We may see them together at a later time after all.

Charlie Watkins – They’ve got a lot of respect for each other. It took a long time to build it up and one match will not break it down. Well, apparently, we’ll see both Ty Shun Ho and Justin Arcola vying for the number one contender position for the Spotlight Title next week. And speaking of the Spotlight Title, that’s what’s next.

Anna Dea – The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the SWL Spotlight Championship! Coming down the aisle, the challenger, from New York City, weighing in at 189 pounds, Benjamin Beautiful.

["Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart plays as Benjamin Beautiful comes to the ring in a full Armani suit, with an expensive cigar in his left hand, smoking, and one unsmoked fresh cigar and a gold zippo in the other.]

Terry Hogan – You know where Nikita Morosov told Beautiful to stick that cigar…

Anna Dea – And his opponent, weighing in at 250 pounds, from Treefall, California, accompanied by Melina Vantadar, the SWL Spotlight Champion, Kevin Steele!!!

[As the house lights dim, bringing the arena into total darkness, a thing blue laser light begins to swirl around the crowd, and move towards the center of the ring. As it touches the tops of the ring posts in its ever smaller circle, a piano strikes a high pitched note, and fades off, as if someone had plucked a single note and held their finger on the key until it faded away. As the laser light circles smaller and smaller, soft chords on the piano begin to play simple scales. When the laser light reaches the center of the ring, it stops circling, and merely sits, a single dot on the center of the ring, and the piano flies into a flurry of scales and chords, beginning to play the theme song to the Phantom of the Opera, as the Phantom plays his lonely chords in the sewers below the ancient city, screaming his ode to his sweet lost love. After the first set of chords, the piano stops and the silence is deafening. After a couple of seconds, the laser light begins to slowly circle, followed by a deep bass sound resonating off of the walls of the arena and the piano swirling once again into action, flying over chords and melodies in its haunting ode to long lost love. Soon the laser light is circling wildly around the ring and begins to spin around the room, joined by three more, making four lights spiraling around the room in daze of movement, and a 5 string steel guitar joins the piano, wailing chords in tune playing the harmony of the song as the piano plays the melody, and the bass is thumping loudly in the background, adding a techno sound to a classical masterpiece.]

[From nowhere, a deep seductive voice rings out against the walls, as smoke begins to fill the ring area, fed by smoke machines under the ring attached to vents leading upwards. "I have come here, to find the man who can challenge me, for I have yet to be truly challenged."]

Charlie Watkins – That man just might be the blue-blood tonight.

[The smoke begins to fall from the sides of the ring, and a bright pyro flashes in the center of the ring, blinding the audience in the darkness, and the house lights begin to slowly come up, and there in the ring, is a man with long dark hair, fallen down over his bowed head, a long black jacket drapped from his massive shoulders, and he begins to lift his head. Moments later, Melina Vantadar comes down the ramp to the ring and takes Kevin jacket and hat, then stands off to the side in her normal thick fluffy sweater and blue jeans. Kevin unstraps the Spotlight Title from his waist and hands it to the referee.]

Charlie Watkins – At first glance, this might appear to be a mismatch. But you can’t count the high flyer out just yet.

Terry Hogan – Absolutely not. Steele better take this kid seriously or he might be in for a surprise.

[The bell rings and Benjamin Beautiful charges in with right hands blazing. Steele picks him up and backs him into the corner. He holds Beautiful in place and delivers two big chops that produce the customary "WOOOO" from the crowd. He goes for a big shot and Beautiful moves out of the way. Beautiful jumps and kicks Steele in the back of the head, then rolls him up. Steele kicks out at one.]

Charlie Watkins – Steele got surprised there.

[Beautiful whips Steele into the ropes. Steele ducks a clothesline from Beautiful and hits him with a Greco-Roman throw on the way back. Steele comes off the ropes with a legdrop and goes for a pin. Beautiful kicks out at two.]

Terry Hogan – The Spotlight Champ almost had the match won there.

[Steele picks up Beautiful and delivers a Russian leg sweep. Steele pins Beautiful and Beautiful kicks out at two. Steele whips Beautiful into the ropes. Beautiful slides under to the apron and calls Steele in. Steele charges and is hit with a shoulder block through the ropes. Beautiful springs over the ropes with a sunset flip. Steele kicks out at two. Beautiful ties Steele up in a Maristrol cradle. Steele kicks out at two. Beautiful whips Steele into the ropes and hits him with a big spinning heel kick. He covers Steele and Steele kicks out at the very last second.]

Charlie Watkins – Steele in some big time trouble.

Terry Hogan – Beautiful has to stay on him. He’s on the verge of pulling off an upset.

[Beautiful whips Steele into the ropes. Beautiful goes for a hurricanrana but Steele counters with a BIG powerbomb. Steele shakes his head to clear the cobwebs and picks Beautiful up. He hits Beautiful with a pendulum backbreaker. Steele climbs to the second rope and goes for a forearm smash, but Beautiful moves out of the way. Beautiful springs to the top rope as Steele stands up. Beautiful hits a blind moonsault but Steele rolls through and pins Beautiful. Beautiful kicks out at the last second.]

Charlie Watkins – What a match!

Terry Hogan – Beautiful is surprising everyone tonight.

[Beautiful goes for a dropkick and Steele slaps him away. Steele hits a clothesline, legdrop, and brainbuster in succession.]

Charlie Watkins – Soul Destruction!

[Steele makes the pin…1…2…3!!!]

Anna Dea – The winner of this match, and STILL SWL Spotlight Champion, Kevin Steele!

Charlie Watkins – What a thrilling match!

Terry Hogan – We couldn’t have asked for better competition between two great athletes tonight.

[Beautiful rolls out of the ring and exits to the back. He gets applause from the onlookers as he begins to exit. From out of nowhere, Nikita Morosov appears from under the ring, chain in hand. He lays waste to Kevin Steele with it and chokes him until he turns blue.]

Charlie Watkins – Where did he come from?

Terry Hogan – He must have been under the ring since his match earlier on tonight.

[As Beautiful turns to see what is going on, MOB Squad appears behind him with a chair. He waylays Beautiful, knocking him out. Security comes and pulls Morosov off of Steele, taking him to the back forcefully. Morosov and MOB Squad’s eyes meet in the aisle and neither has a definite statement on their face.]

Charlie Watkins – Those two will both challenge Kevin Steele for the Spotlight Title next week.

Terry Hogan – But what exactly is the relationship between MOB Squad and The Russian Bear?

Charlie Watkins – That’s one of many questions that we’ll hopefully get an answer to next week.

Terry Hogan – Up next, though, we’ve got two other individuals who are also challenging for titles at Unfamiliar Territory, "Luscious" Lawrence Rhodes and Johnny Spades

Anna Dea – The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, weighing in at 285 pounds, from Las Vegas, Nevada, Johnny Spades!

["Take a Look" by Limp Bizkit blares over the PA, bringing the crowd to their feet. The lights dim as purple lights flash and Johnny Spades walks out. Spades looks around at the booing crowd then puts his muscular arms in the air mocking the crowd. Spades stands on the turnbuckle bugging the fans.]

Anna Dea – And his opponent, weighing in at 293 pounds, from London, England, accompanied by his manager, Ebony, a member of The Regulators, the SWL Quasar Champion, "Luscious" Lawrence Rhodes!!!

[The prodigy mix of Methodmans 'Release Yo'delf echoes around the arena. A yellowish hue lights the entrance as ... after a pause Ebony walks out from the back. Again she wears a tight white lycra style top and large well worn Levi 501 Jeans. She stands, hands on hips surveying the crowd. Yet again she receives a mixed reaction ... but there is a slightly better response as 'Lusciuos' Lawrence Rhodes steps out from the back. He stands straight behind her then places the Quasar belt over her head and begins to fasten it around her waist. Rhodes then leans forward and gives it a little rub for the camera. Rhodes is wearing a pair of red spandex jodpurs and matching red boots. He finishes the look with a tight fitting red SWL ' Teddy "KGB" & Lucifer teeshirt. The pair then begin to walk towards the ring ... Rhodes a few steps behind Ebony, surveying the arena as he goes. Again as Rhodes gets to ringside he removes his shirt and throws it into the crowd, he then climbs the steel steps and holds the ropes open for Ebony to enter. He follows ... then backs into the corner. ]

Charlie Watkins – These two have a long and illustrious history together.

Terry Hogan – It’ll be interesting to see how well prepared each one is for the other knowing they both are challengers for SWL Championships next week at Unfamiliar Territory.

[The bell rings and the two men circle each other. They tie up and Rhodes applies a side headlock. Spades shoves Rhodes into the ropes and backdrops him. Rhodes gets up and Spades whips him into the ropes again. Spades goes for an elbow and Rhodes ducks it. Spades lowers his head and Rhodes delivers a swinging neckbreaker.]

Charlie Watkins – Spades went to the well once too often.

[Rhodes picks Spades up and delivers a back suplex. Spades gets up and Rhodes goes for a belly-to-belly suplex. Spades blocks it and sweeps Rhodes off his feet. Spades applies an arm wrench and pounds on Rhodes’ shoulder. Rhodes fights to his feet and elbows Spades in the midsection. Rhodes goes for a gut-wrench suplex. Spades blocks it and flapjacks Rhodes.]

Terry Hogan – We’re back at square one now.

[Spades slams Rhodes and hops to the second rope. He drives a forearm into Rhodes and goes for a pin. Rhodes kicks out at two. Rhodes uses the ropes to pull himself up and Spades clotheslines him over them to the outside.]

Charlie Watkins – Spades building momentum now.

Terry Hogan – This is going to get dangerous on the outside.

[Spades steps out to the apron and goes for a flying body press. Rhodes uses Spades’ momentum to powerslam Spades on the floor. Rhodes slams Spades into the security railing.]

Charlie Watkins – This is becoming exciting.

Terry Hogan – Rhodes appears to have the advantage.

[As the referee implores Rhodes to get back in the ring, Spades realizes he is near both Nicole and her parents. They are arguing about something. Spades comes over and Mr. Thatcher grabs him by the shoulder and shouts at him. Spades pulls him over the railing.]

Charlie Watkins – Hey, come on! That man is old enough to be Spades’ father.

Terry Hogan – Well, he shouldn’t have gotten in Spades’ face.

[Nicole looks on and doesn’t know who to help, Spades or her father. Her mother pleads with her. Suddenly, Billy Rock races down the ramp and jumps on Spades. The two brawl and the referee calls for the bell.]

Anna Dea – The winner of this match as a result of a disqualification, Johnny Spades.

[Rhodes goes to help Rock, but Ebony stops him, saying, "He cost you the match." She leads him to the back, but Rhodes stays at the entranceway.]

Terry Hogan – I think Rhodes is being confused. His loyalties are torn.

[Rock gets the upper hand on Spades and slams him into the ring post. Nicole jumps on Rock’s back and pulls at his hair. Steph runs down the ramp and pulls Nicole off of Rock. Steph goes to slap Nicole, but Billy stops her. She looks at him somewhat angrily until The Kid winks and balls her open hand into a fist, then lets go of her arm. Steph blasts Nicole and knocks her out. She and Billy help the Thatchers up the ramp when they are cut off by the blare of "Rebel Yell" over the PA. Brian Williams appears at the entranceway.]

Charlie Watkins – What is this now?

Terry Hogan – I think it might be time for Billy to face to music, so to speak.

Brian (indicating the Thatchers) – Lawrence, get these people to the back. (to the Thatchers) You have my apologies for the treatment you received tonight. We have the best doctors in Texas in the back if you need anything.

[Rhodes takes the Thatchers out of the arena.]

Brian (to The Kid and Steph) – Now, as for you two: I don’t claim to know what you’ve been up to for the past few months. Quite frankly, for all I know, you could be telling the truth. But Steph, you haven’t been the most trustworthy of people in the past. You haven’t given me any reason to believe you since the last time you ran off with a wrestler.

Brian – And you, Billy Rock. "The Kid" Billy Rock. Where exactly do you get off threatening me? Who in the hell you do you think you are? Let me remind you of your place, Billy. Let’s take a trip back in time to six months ago at StarGate. You against the World’s Most Notorious Man for the Heavyweight Title.

[Brian Williams points to the Jumbotron as a video clip plays.]

[Grinnin stands up before The Kid rolls in, takes the chair, and BLASTS The Kid with the chair.]

Terry Hogan - Apparently, The Kid was being nice and brought the chair in for Grinnin.

Charlie Watkins - Where was the ref on that one?

Terry Hogan - Still knocked out! But Steph could call the match!

Charlie Watkins - Like that would be fair.

[Grinnin has covered Billy Rock and is calling for anyone to make the count.]

Terry Hogan - It doesn't matter if it is fair or not. She's doing it anyway.

[Steph takes the referees shirt from Kevin Mills and gets in the ring and start to count for Grinnin who has covered "The Kid"......1 ........2 ...........3 ]

Charlie Watkins - NOOO! That's not fair!

Anna Dea - The winner of this match, and STILL SWL World champion, Grinnin!!!

[Grinnin raises his hand with Steph in the center of the ring]

Charlie Watkins - You have GOT to be kidding me! Again?!

Terry Hogan - You better believe it. The only person who could overturn that would be Brian Williams himself. And, oh....look, he hasn't been around since Back At Last.

Charlie Watkins - I know this will be challenged on ShockWave, but until then..... Keep Reaching for.....

["Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol begins to play. Crowd POPS HUGE!]

Charlie Watkins - HE'S HERE!!!!!!

Terry Hogan - Grinnin already won the title, there is nothing he can do.

Charlie Watkins - He can do anything. He's Brian Williams!

[Brian Williams walks down the aisle with a microphone.]

Brian Williams - Hey Steph, look who’s back! I have just a little "Unfinished Business" to take care of here. What you just did may have worked last time. But you can't run that by me AGAIN. You are not an official referee, so therefore you can't officially call the end of the match like you just did. Therefore, this match is STILL ON! And I am announcing myself as the special guest referee!

[The Kid who had gotten up takes Grinnin and holds him as Brian Williams takes the chair that Grinnin hit Billy Rock with and SMASHES Grinnin over the head with it. Crowd goes absolutely WILD]

Charlie Watkins - Let's see Grinnin get up from that one!

Terry Hogan - There is no way. Grinnin is out cold.

["The Kid" Billy Rock covers Grinnin. Brian Williams makes the count ......1 .........2 .................3!!!]

Charlie Watkins - BILLY ROCK has done it! The kingdom is out from under the reign of evil and all is well.

[The crowd is popping HUGE because Brian Williams and Billy Rock are standing side by side, shaking hands.]

Anna Dea - The winner of this match, and new SWL World champion, "The Kid" Billy Rock!!!

Brian – You see, Billy, I am responsible for you being who you are today. I handed you the Heavyweight Championship on a silver platter because I thought you were the right man to represent this company. I promoted you and your Regulator friends to heights that I have never promoted any other wrestler. So before you go running your mouth, remember who it was that made you. I made you, Rock, and if you persist in getting on my case, then at Unfamiliar Territory, I will not hesitate to unmake you.

[Brian begins to walk to the back, then stops and turns around.]

Brian – Oh, I almost forgot. We’re not done yet. Ghost, Mary…

[The Ghost From Nowhere and Resurrection Mary step out into the entranceway.]

Brian - …he’s all yours.

[Ghost attacks Rock in the aisle and forces him toward the ring. In the confusion, a bell is heard.]

Charlie Watkins – We’ve got our main event going on right now!

Terry Hogan – No way! What kind of shape is The Kid in right now?

[Ghost rolls Rock into the ring. Rock stands up ready to fight. Rock puts on a side headlock, but the Ghost shoots him into the ropes. Rock hits a shoulder block that knocks down the Ghost. While on the mat, though, the Ghost executes a scissor sweep. The Ghost goes on top of Rock quickly with a wasitlock. Rock fights to his feet, but cannot break the hold. The Ghost goes for a Dragon suplex, but Rock goes with the momentum and lands on his feet behind the Ghost. Rock hooks the Ghost up into a reverse DDT. Rock goes for a pin, but only gets one.]

Charlie Watkins – The Kid pressing an early advantage here.

[The Kid sets Ghost up on the turnbuckle. The Ghost, however, kicks him in the face and pulls him through the ropes to the apron, still standing on the turnbuckle. Ghost hooks Rock in a front facelock.]

Terry Hogan – I don’t like the looks of this at all.

[Ghost swings himself off the turnbuckle and delivers an incredible tornado DDT from the apron to the floor. The crowd explodes with approval.]

Charlie Watkins – My God! The Ghost may have killed The Kid!

Terry Hogan – What an incredible move!

[The Kid and The Ghost begin to stir. The Kid stumbles over to the timekeeper’s table. He grabs a steel chair and blasts Ghost over the head with it.]

Charlie Watkins – The Kid doesn’t want to get himself disqualified.

Terry Hogan – Charlie, there’s seventy thousand people here tonight who are all big fans of both these guys. The ref’s going to give them some leeway.

[The Kid takes another swing, but Ghost ducks and Rock hits the ring post. Rock drops the chair and the Ghost sweeps him on it face first. Ghost rolls Rock back into the ring and hunts under the ring. Rock is knocked out.]

Charlie Watkins – The Ghost has the advantage now.

Terry Hogan – What could he be looking for under there?

[Ghost comes out dragging a ten-foot ladder.]

Charlie Watkins – What is that?

Terry Hogan – I guess the Ghost wants to show us what he can do with a ladder; maybe a preview for Rhodes next week.

[Ghost sets the ladder in the corner of the ring so that the top of it extends about six feet above the top turnbuckle. He steps out to the apron and climbs to the top of the turnbuckle, then to the top of the ladder.]

Charlie Watkins – What is he going to do?

[Ghost leaps high into the air and delivers a massive big splash to Rock. The crowd goes wild again, but Ghost is too hurt to capitalize.]

Charlie Watkins – The Ghost sacrificed his own body to deliver that splash.

Terry Hogan – I’ll say. He may have hurt himself more than Rock.

[Ghost drapes an arm over Rock…1…2…Rock gets a shoulder up.]

Charlie Watkins – The Kid kicked out!

Terry Hogan – What else can The Ghost do to Rock?

[Ghost whips Rock into the corner with the ladder, but Rock reverses it and Ghost gets a face full of steel. The ladder falls down into the ring. Rock hooks Ghost and delivers a T-Bone Suplex. Rock pumps himself up and the crowd responds.]

Charlie Watkins – The champion is building momentum now.

Terry Hogan – Where is he finding this energy?

[Rock picks up Ghost and delivers a belly-to-belly suplex. Rock picks Ghost up and whips him into the ropes. Rock delivers a flying clothesline. Rock gets the crowd into it and hits Ghost with a spine buster.]

Terry Hogan – I think the end may be near.

[Rock lifts Ghost up into the torture rack. He shouts something that is lost in the crowd and moves toward the ladder.]

Charlie Watkins – What’d he say?

Terry Hogan – "This one’s for Spades."

[Rock delivers the Death Valley Driver on the ladder as the crowd explodes.]

Charlie Watkins – KINGDOM COME! KINGDOME COME ON THE LADDER!

Terry Hogan – We’re seeing it all tonight!

[Rock makes the cover…1…2…3!!!]

Anna Dea – Here is your winner, "The Kid" Billy Rock!!!

Charlie Watkins – What an incredible night! Ladies and gentlemen, call your cable or satellite company today! We’ve got Rock versus Spades with President Williams as the referee, a ladder match for the Quasar Belt, and much more coming at Unfamiliar Territory next Sunday! Ladies and gentlemen, for Terry Hogan, I’m Charlie Watkins. Keep reaching for those Stars!
