Richmond, Virginia

[Opening Credits]

Charlie Watkins – Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Sunday Night Shockwave! We are live from the Richmond Coliseum in Richmond, Virginia.

Terry Hogan – We’ve got quite a show for everyone tonight, Charlie. Three titles are on the line as well as two of the top contenders in the SWL squaring off.

Charlie Watkins – Let’s get right to the action with a newcomer to the SWL, Dr. Hate.

Dr. Hate vs. Johnny Wonderful

Anna Dea – The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Rochester, New York, weighing in at 241 pounds, Dr. Hate!

["Dementia" by In Strict Confidence hits the arena. The lights fade to a dark green. As the music picks up, Dr. Hate exits the back. The big screen behind him depicts the word "Hate" in full, using the entire screen. The crowd reaction, in general, is mostly negative. Dr. Hate seems unconcerned with any of it. Upon reaching the ring, he rolls in, under the bottom rope. He takes his corner as the arena lights return to normal, his face empty of statement. However, his eyes seem to tell a different tale.]

Anna Dea - And his opponent, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 234 pounds, Johnny Wonderful!

[Johnny Wonderful makes his way to the ring.]

Charlie Watkins – The so-called Dr. Hate making his SWL debut tonight against the cagey veteran Johnny Wonderful.

Terry Hogan – Let’s see what he can do…

[The bell rings and the two men circle each other. They tie up and Johnny Wonderful executes a quick arm drag takedown. Dr. Hate is quickly up and takes down Wonderful with a headlock takeover. He holds on to the headlock until Wonderful fights his way to his feet. Wonderful throws Hate into the ropes and goes for a Greco-Roman throw. Hate blocks it and counters with a Northern Lights Suplex.]

Charlie Watkins – Dr. Hate with an impressive array of wrestling maneuvers.

[Dr. Hate applies a wasitlock and trips up Wonderful. Hate applies a Boston Crab. Wonderful turns into the pressure before Hate can get it cinched in. Dr. Hate picks up Wonderful and delivers a double underhook suplex. As Wonderful is getting up, Hate hits him with an enzeguri.]

Charlie Watkins – Johnny Wonderful is in some trouble now.

Terry Hogan – Haven’t heard THAT enough.

[Dr. Hate scoops up Wonderful and delivers a face-first piledriver.]

Charlie Watkins – That’s his trademark move.

Terry Hogan – He calls it Assisted Suicide.

[Dr. Hate makes the pin…1…2…3!]

Anna Dea – The winner of this match, Dr. Hate!

Charlie Watkins – So Dr. Hate picks up a win in his debut. Right now, we’re going to hear from Johnny Spades.

(As the match comes to an end the lights suddenly dim as purple strobe lights circle through the building. "Show Me What You Got" thunders through the complex as Johnny Spades and Nicole Thatcher walk out of the entranceway and stand on the stage. Spades is wearing black dress pants, black dress shoes, 3/4 length leather jacket, leather bandana and his infamous chrome shades. The usual conservative Nicole is wearing a tight leather belly top, black pumps and a very skimpy leather skirt. Spades smiles cockily around at the crowd then turns and whispers something into Nicole's ear that she nods in agreement to. The two walk down the aisle and enter the ring. The crowd boos as Spades steps on the second turnbuckle and puts his muscular arms in the air. Spades looks around at the crowd then climbs down and grabs a mic.................)

Spades: (evil smile) You know i can't believe all you fans are booing the man that revealed the truth. Maybe all you people hate so me much cause I dug under that all American hero sham your champion Billy Rock has been portraying to you for the last year and made all of you open your eyes and finally realize that Billy Rock is nothing but a low down snake that will go to any lengths to get what he wants. Speaking of that Billy Rock

(Spades reaches into his jacket and pulls out a yellow colored evenlope n waves it in the air with a evil smile as the crowd boos)

Spades: That's right Billy Rock you thought your little secret would never be revealed but you see Rock I already told you that Johnny Spades was sent here to make your pathetic life a living hell. I know your dying to see what is in this evenlope Rock. you along with everyone here tonight and watching at home are wondering what i could possibly have that would not only ruin your image but make you lose the love of your life

(Spades rubs Nicole's shoulder as a hurtful statement overcomes her lovely face.)

Spades: Well don't worry cause i won't make you wait any longer. Rock you know what you did, we (points at himself and Nicole) know what you did and now it is time for all those kids out there wearing Billy Rock T-shirts and merchandise to find out just how "good and hero like" you really are.

(Spades opens up the evenlope and pulls out four 15 X 7 pictures. Spades motions to the camera to come closer.)

Spades: For the sake of your lovely EX girlfriend will start off with a few mellow ones then get into the grand daddy of em all (smiles evilly.)

(Spades holds up a picture. It shows Billy Rock and Steph sitting rather close on a bench somewhere sharing a laugh.)

Spades: Here it is folks and trust me this is only the beginning. Look it, look at your hero Billy rock nustling up to Brian Williams love Steph! (crowd reacts a little) What that's not enough. How about this?

(Spades shows picture number two. It shows Billy rock and Steph walking down a deserted street sharing yet another laugh but with Rock resting his arm on her shoulder. Nicole turns away from the SWL Tron looking to hold back tears.)

Spades: (scanning the crowd) you still not convinced. How about this?

(Spades shows the third picture. The pic is of Billy rock and Steph dressed up, eating in some fancy restaurant. Nicole allows a tear to fall from her eye but quickly wipes it away as anger overtakes her. Spades gives her a hug and consoles her for a moment before continuing.)

Spades: And last but certainly not least. (Turns to Nicole) and trust me sweet heart it pains me to once again have to show you this picture but you and i know it has to be done. (focuses back on the crowd) Are you ready. Are all you Billy Rock dumbskies ready. Here is your hero. Here is the loyal, fighting and may i say FAITHFUL Billy Rock in action.

(Spades shows the final picture. The booing seems to stop as silence goes over the crowd. The camera scans showing many shocked faces as on the SWL Tron is a pic of Billy and Steph walking into a Hilton hotel with Rock's hand on her back seeming to lead her in. Nicole again turns away from the screen as spades smiles at all the shocked fans.)

[Cut to: backstage, where President Brian Williams is watching what’s going on, a scowl beginning to form on his face. Cut back to: ringside.]

Spades: Why no booing now. Like the theory goes. A picture tells a million words and there is no denying that this time i have caught your hero red handed. I caught him right in the act and being the real man that i'am i took it upon myself to go to Little rock and tell Nicky face to face about what her love of her life was up to. You think my "Spades Odyssey" was for you people think again (laughs) that was all a damn cover-up to keep you scrub Regulators off my back trying to stop the truth from being told. Vindicator, Rhodes and even Bret "The Retired One" Real I know damn well you were all in on it as well. you knew Rock was not only walking around with Steph but nailing the Presidents girlfriend right under his damn nose! So tonight i will get a little revenge for Nicky by destroying that other snake in the grass, you Vindicator!! But enough about that. Nicole i know you have something to say. So say it and don't hold back.

(Spades hands over the mic to Nicole. She looks down at the canvas for a moment then looks towards the back.)

Nicole: (hurt quiet voice) Billy.....(holding back tears) how could you? You..you told me..(Nicole pauses trying to keep her composure. Spades rubs her back) YOU TOLD ME YOU LOVED ME YOU BASTARD!!

(Upon the last word to escape Nicole's mouth a surge electrifies the complex as "Whatever It Takes" by POD smashes the tension. A collective roar rises from the crowd. Without a stutter, "The Kid" Billy Rock stampedes down the aisle in a sleeveless "Regulators" t-shirt and black Adidas windpants. He dives through the bottom rope and strides toward Spades. Billy clutches Spades by the hair and gives him an eyeful of his fist, shattering the chrome shades and leaving Spades on his back. Billy jabs his finger toward Spades along with some choice phrases. He leaves Spades to dust himself off as the ring announcer delivers another microphone ... )

"The Kid" Billy Rock - (almost pleading) Nicole, sweetheart, please don't dignify this guy's last resort at preserving whatever credibility he walked away from me with a few weeks ago. He's using you! Look what he's got you wearing just to heat me up! This little pr*ck knows that distorting our feelings for each other will lead him to another shot at me faster than he could ever earn it. Leave him down there, Nicole. Please, just come with me and we'll forget about all this.

(Spades slowly slips the broken shades from his eyes and lets them fall to the mat. He smirks as little beads of red slide down his cheek from the corner and underneath his right eye ... )

Nicole - (voice quivering) Maybe you think this is something you can just forget about, but I can't! We've shared everything for the last three years, but right now I feel like I'm talking to a stranger.

Spades - (chiming in) Never talk to strangers.

(Billy cocks his fist and points it toward Spades other eye. Johnny backs up and lowers his mic. Billy looks into Nicole's eyes again ... )

The Kid - How can you think I'd do something like that to you? Because of you I don't want or need another woman. I love you, Nicole.

Nicole - (eyes watering, getting hysterical) You love me?! I've seen the pictures! The whole world has! Didn't you see them, Billy? You practically posed for them! You CHEATED on me with that ... that ...

SLUT!

(Before Billy's voice can be heard again, our ears are stuffed by Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell". Our expectations are toyed with as Steph, not Brian Williams appears near the entrance. She walks the aisle wearing a face of stone, eyeing Nicole the whole trip. Steph climbs through the ropes holding her own microphone and stands next to Billy, a few steps away from Nicole ... )

Steph - First of all, little girl, you ever insult me like that again and we're gonna find out just how much of that little leather skirt I can fit in your throat.

(Billy waves his hands at Steph, signaling that threats are not necessary ... )

Steph - The second thing you need to know is that Billy and I have become nothing more than _friends_. We had a few misunderstandings but those wrinkles have been ironed out. We just hang out sometimes. That's it.

Nicole - (trembling, sniffling) Did ... did the two of you ...

The Kid - No. We didn't. Steph, please tell her nothing happened.

Steph - Billy loves you, Nicole. We are just friends.

(Nicole squeezes the pictures in her hands. She studies the image of Billy leading Steph into the Hilton, then cocks her eyes toward Johnny Spades who points to the pictures once again as evidence ... )

The Kid - Don't be fooled, Nicole.

(She looks to Steph, then her eyes meet Billy's ... )

Nicole - I already have been.

[CRACK!]

[Nicole slaps Billy across the face]

Steph - B*tch!

[Steph leaps across the ring and Thesz Presses Nicole. The girls tear at each other's hair. Billy crosses the ring and tries to pry Steph from Nicole. Johnny Spades, spotting his opening, hurls himself across the air and drives a sharp elbow into the back of The Kid's neck. He begins stomping The Kid about the head and stomach. Security are attempting to split Nicole and Steph who have spilled to the outside. Spades lifts the limp Billy Rock, who suffers a Royal Flush. Johnny leaves the ring and grabs Nicole by the wrist. Steph enters the ring again and falls to her knees, tending to Billy with a hand on his chest as she stares toward the aisle, specifically Nicole]

Charlie Watkins – Interesting developments between the champion and his…I guess you would call it his former girlfriend.

Terry Hogan – I’ll say. The Prez’s best buddy was stealing his girl right under his nose!

Charlie Watkins – We don’t know that for sure. The whole truth hasn’t come out yet. Right now, though, let’s move on to a another couple of newcomers who appear set to make a HUGE impact on the SWL, The Oklahoma Lynch Mob.

The Oklahoma Lynch Mob vs. The Squad

Anna Dea – The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Making their way to the ring at this time, the team of Tank and Star, The Squad!

[A drumbeat resonates as The Squad marches their way to the ring.]

Anna Dea – And their opponents, from Mustang, Oklahoma, at a total combined weight of 584 pounds, the team of J.W. and Joe Dean Rogers, The Oklahoma Lynch Mob!

[...Lights in the arena go out. The sound of hundreds of galloping horses fill the arena and slowly fade, the silence is quickly broken by the snort and rear of a horse. Two orange/red lights appear at the enterance to the arena as "South Texas Death Ride" by The Union Underground plays over the PA. Two figures dressed black dusters, jeans, and cowboy boots enter the aisleway carrying torches. Both have their heads covered by white burlap sacks, only two eye holes cut out. They make their way to ringside holding the torches in the air lighting their path. As they arrive they place a torch on either side of the steps. One of the hooded men step onto the third step, as the second remains on the floor with his arms crossed. From inside the duster, he removes a 13 ring noose and thrust it into the air. From behind the two a blast of fire comes from the ring post casting and erie glow across the arena floor. The men removes their dusters and enter the ring, leaving the noose hanging from the top turnbuckle, the two torches sitting at ringside...]

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

Terry Hogan – Forget them. I don’t like the looks of that noose!

[J.W. starts the match with Tank. They lock up and J.W. easily gets the power advantage. He scoops up Tank and slams him down with incredible force. He picks up Tank and whips him into the corner and charges in with a big shoulder thrust.]

Charlie Watkins – J.W. Rogers starting off strong here.

Terry Hogan – He’s looking to impress the front office with these moves.

[J.W. tags in Joe Dean and they go to work on Tank. The Lynch Mob executes a tandem powerbomb and J.W. exits the ring. Joe Dean whips Tank into the ropes and hooks him into a big spine buster. Joe Dean charges the Squad’s corner and knocks Star off the apron into the security railing.]

Charlie Watkins – My goodness!

Terry Hogan – The Lynch Mob are really looking to make names for themselves.

[J.W. lifts Tank in the air as if to deliver a powerbomb. Instead of dropping him, however, he holds Tank in the upright position. Joe Dean climbs to the top rope as J.W. positions himself so his back is to Joe Dean, and Tank is facing him. Joe Dean then jumps off delivering a reverse bulldog headlock as J.W. pushes forward with the powerbomb. There is an awesome impact as the three men hit the mat.]

Terry Hogan – Amazing!

Charlie Watkins – They call that move the High Plains Death Ride.

Terry Hogan – They can call it whatever they want; it was pretty effective.

[J.W. makes the cover on Tank…1…2…3!]

Anna Dea – The winners, The Oklahoma Lynch Mob!

[Star crawls into the ring trying to help Tank. The Lynch Mob put a beating on him and deliver the High Plains Death Ride to him as well.]

Charlie Watkins – Hey, come on! You’ve done your business; just go back to the locker room!

Terry Hogan – Give them a break. This is how you get yourself a reputation.

[The Lynch Mob throws both of the Squad out of the ring. They grab the noose from the turnbuckle and begin to drag the Squad towards the back of the arena.]

Terry Hogan – Okay, NOW it might be going a bit too far.

[Several staff and crewmembers come from the back and try to put a stop to it. The Rogers boys simply wipe them out. They disappear behind the curtain still carrying the Squad with them.]

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

Terry Hogan – Where could they be going with the Squad?

Charlie Watkins – Wherever it is, we’ll have to find out later. The Spotlight Title is about to be defended.

Terry Hogan – I understand he’s backstage right now.

(Just before the Steele/Blake Matchup, Steel can be seen on the monitor back stage trying to find a camera. he finally finds one, and moves in that direction...)

Kevin Steele - Hey...! Camera Guy! Get me on the Screen out there. No... Don't tell me you can't! Just call whoever you have to, and get it done!

(The man talks on his walkie talkie for a few seconds and then the screen in the arena goes black. A shot of Kevin Steele comes up, and the crowd realizes that he is on.)

Kevin Steele - Am I on there yet??? Oh. I am? Good. I have some things to say before I come out tonight! Blake! You want to disappear for a few days? Haven't heard from you! Maybe you got smart and didn't show up tonight! Maybe I will win the belt by Forfeit! Oh wait... I'm not Billy Rock! I actually want to WIN the belt! Blake, tonight, when you and I step through those ring ropes, I will own you! There is nothing that can stop me from stripping you of that Title you seem to do nothing but bitch about! You think it is such a burden??? Then why don't I take from you?

(Melina walks up behind Kevin Steele, and moves towards the camera in a torn pair of jeans and a black leather jacket just like Steele's. She is carrying another one just like it, and starts to speak to the crowd.)

Kevin Steele - Fans of the SWL. Be prepared for a new champion, because tonight, Kevin will walk away with the recognition he has deserved since coming here to the SWL. That fool Cage held him back and now that he has his shot, there is nothing that can stop him from winning this match and gaining the Title!

(Kevin Steel puts his arm around Melina, and looks back into the camera's lens one last time.)

Kevin Steele - Blake... You come to that ring down there tonight, and I will make it my personal Duty to the world to Destroy your Soul! Nothing in this world can be better for me than gaining that title you hold and nothing in this world can stop me! Come on... We have a match to get to!

(Kevin and Melina move away from the camera, Melina still carrying an extra leather jacket.)

[Cut to: ringside]

Charlie Watkins – Well, before we get to the match, we’re going to hear from another person in the Spotlight Title chase, MOB Squad.

[MOB Squad makes his way to the ring and grabs a mic.]

MOB Squad: Cut the Music. You know, last week, I got a shot at the Spotlight Title. I know I have been in the SWL for 9 months, and after these leavings, am now one of the most experienced veterans in the SWL. But yet I am still going after the beginners title. Why, everybody, kids on the streets, old folks, business men, everybody is asking me why? Well, now you shall now.

MOB Squad: When MOB Squad see's something he wants, MOB Squad see's somethig he gets. He will go through, as you all should know by now, anything. He will go through a ladders weapon match, falling 15 feet through the air in to a dumpster of weapons. He will go through Hell and Back, in a Hell in a Cell Match, meeting the End, meeting the blindsider, but getting right back up.

MOB Squad: Blake, you have been complaining about how you have had matches in the last few weeks after a Hell in a Cell match. Well, you shouldnt've been so eager to get the title. You win the title, you complain. You are the lousiest champion ever Blake. Janus was a better champion then you. Rhodes, that foul mouthed sick mother fu***r was even a better champion then you. Blake, I have been going after that belt for 9 months, and seeing it sit on the waist of you just sickens me. That belt deserves better things. Hell, Brian would be a better Spotlight Champion then you. I haven't worked this hard to see the belt go to waste like this, and I won't let it go to waste. Blake, your days are numbered. And my days are just beginning. But, Blake, seeing as I don't have a title match against you, you can consider yourself lucky. I mean, in 4 weeks, 3 matches against MOB Squad, one a hell in a cell match is just too much for any one person to handle. Even though you have a match against Steele, you should consider this a week off considering that you have a pansy like Steele for an opponent, and you don't have MOB Squad for an opponent. So Blake, whether it is in the ring or out, whether it is with my hands, with a "screwdriver", or with a weapon, you will know what it is like to feel the pain that the feircest man of the SWL, a badass, can hand out.

[MOB Squad leaves the ring with a smirk on his face.]

Charlie Watkins – So MOB Squad has thrown down the gauntlet.

Terry Hogan – But Blake has to get by Kevin Steele first.

Jason "The Bandit" Blake vs. Kevin Steele

SWL Spotlight Championship Match

Anna Dea – The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the SWL Spotlight Championship! Coming down the aisle, the challenger, weighing in at 250 pounds, from Treefall, California, accompanied by Melina Vantadar, 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 – We’ll see if that holds true after this match.

[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.]

Anna Dea – And his opponent, accompanied by his manager, "Electric" Amy Sparks, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing 218 pounds, The SWL Spotlight Champion, Jason "The Bandit" Blake!

[The lights in the arena turn a pale blue. "Move Your Body" by Eiffel 65 begins to blare throughout the arena as Jason Blake and Amy Sparks step out from the entranceway. Blake raises the belt above his head and runs to the ring, high-fiving as many fans as possible with Amy walking casually, smiling at all the fans.]

Charlie Watkins – This should be a good one.

Terry Hogan – Kevin Steele is really coming into his own lately. We’ll see if he can take advantage of this opportunity.

[The bell rings and Kevin Steele goes to tie up with Blake. Blake immediately does a split, puts out his hands, and sweeps out Steele’s legs. Steele goes down and Blake jumps on top of him, throwing several right hands that have moderate effect. Steele pushes Blake off him and gets to his feet.]

Terry Hogan – Steele isn’t hurt; he’s just upset.

[Blake whips Steele into the ropes and goes for a hurricanrana. Steele catches him and delivers a big powerbomb.]

Charlie Watkins – If Steele can keep Blake grounded, this will be a short match.

[Steele picks up Blake and delivers a pendulum back breaker. He whips Blake into the ropes and kicks him in the midsection. Blake doubles over and Steele comes off the ropes with a swinging neck breaker. Steele whips the champion into the corner and comes charging in. Blake raises his legs and hooks Steele into a sunset flip. Steele kicks out at two.]

Charlie Watkins – Steele’s got to be careful with Blake.

Terry Hogan – The Spotlight Champion can beat you very quickly.

[Blake runs into the ropes and hits a flying calf kick that sends Steele through the ropes to the outside. As Steele is getting up, Blake hits the opposite ropes and runs towards the side Blake is on. He springboards to the top rope, using no hands, and executes a beautiful forward moonsault that levels Steele. The crowd goes wild.]

Charlie Watkins – Amazing!

Terry Hogan – If it stays an aerial match, you can bet Blake will have the advantage.

[Blake rolls Steele in under the bottom rope. Blake climbs to the apron and jumps to the top turnbuckle. Steele shakes the ropes and Blake straddles the turnbuckle. Steele climbs to the top and superplexes Blake. Steele signals to the crowd and delivers a clothesline, legdrop, and brainbuster in succession.]

Charlie Watkins – Kevin Steele hit Soul Destruction!

Terry Hogan – I don’t believe it.

[Steele makes the pin…1…2…3!!!]

Charlie Watkins – We’ve got a new champion!

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

[Nikita Morosov sprints to the ring from the back, chain in hand. He strikes Kevin Steele repeatedly until Steele is knocked out. Morosov taunts the crowd, getting a huge response. Out of nowhere, Jett Jones appears and delivers several right hands to Morosov. He hits Morosov with the Thriller and rolls him out of the ring. He picks up Morosov’s chain and heaves it at Morosov on the outside. Morosov makes his way to the back shouting something at Jones.]

Terry Hogan – Did Jett Jones just save Kevin Steele?

[Kevin Steele gets back to his feet. He uses Jett Jones for support. Jones looks at Steele for a second, then gives him a Thriller. Jett Jones grabs the mic.]

Jett Jones - Steele,Now you can whine to the prez about this one and don't forget to tell him that I just whipped your whinin,cryin,crybaby @$$!! "Let The Show Go On!!!!

[Jett Jones walks to the back to the sound of "HELLS BELLS" over the PA system.]

Charlie Watkins – It looks like Kevin Steele isn’t going to get any rest as the new champion. Both The Showstopper and The Russian Bear want a shot as his belt.

Terry Hogan – Do I smell a possible three-way match in the works?

Charlie Watkins – No, I think you’re smelling something else entirely. You might want to check the expiration date on your cologne. Right now, let’s get to our next match.

Terry Hogan – I can’t wait for this one. Two big men squaring off for the Quasar Title.

"Luscious" Lawrence Rhodes vs. Janus

SWL Quasar Championship Match

Anna Dea – The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the SWL Quasar Championship! Coming down the aisle is the challenger, from Rome, Italy, weighing in at 285 pounds, a member of the Wrecking Crew, 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 his opponent, weighing in at 293 pounds, from London, England 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 'Luscious' Lawrence Rhodes appears at the arena entrance. Rhodes again stands, hands on hips at the entrance, staring out into the arena surveying the crowd. Rhodes rubs the Quasar Championship belt that is fastened around his waist. Rhodes continues to look around the arena as he moves down towards the ring. Rhodes is nodding his head, mainly in recognition of the support he is getting. Rhodes is wearing a pair of white spandex shorts and white boots. He finishes the look with a tight fitting white SWL 'Vecious & Delicious' teeshirt.]

Terry Hogan – Only in the SWL can you get away with wrestling in a getup like that.

[Rhodes continues down to the ring. He stops then begins to grin. He turns to slap a few hands that are being extended out in front of him. Rhodes then moves to ringside where he removes his shirt and throws it into the crowd. Rhodes walks up the steel steps and looks into the ring. He stands motionless surveying the arena before passing through the ropes into the ring.]

Charlie Watkins – One of the last remaining members of the Wrecking Crew goes for the Quasar Title tonight.

[Janus charges Rhodes and the bell rings. The two trade right hands until Janus blocks one from Rhodes and kicks him in the midsection, doubling Rhodes over. Janus hits Rhodes with a running knee lift. Rhodes goes down but is up quickly. Janus charges again but gets a clothesline from Rhodes that knocks him down.]

Charlie Watkins – Rhodes displaying presence of mind there.

Terry Hogan – A rare occasion, if I do say so myself.

[Rhodes picks up Janus and delivers a belly-to-belly suplex. Rhodes drops an elbow and goes for a pin, but only gets one. Rhodes ascends to the second turnbuckle and comes off with a forearm smash, but Janus moves out of the way and springs to his feet.]

Charlie Watkins – Janus was playing possum.

Terry Hogan – And Rhodes fell for it.

[Janus wraps his arms around Rhodes’ waist from the side.]

Charlie Watkins – No. Rhodes is too big.

[Janus delivers a HUGE gut-wrench suplex that makes an impressive-looking impact.]

Charlie Watkins – Wow. I stand corrected.

[Janus picks up Rhodes and whips him into the ropes. Janus hits a sidewalk slam and goes for a pin. Rhodes kicks out at two. Janus again whips Rhodes in, but Rhodes reverses it. Rhodes delivers a tilt-o-whirl slam. Rhodes comes off the ropes with a leg drop. Rhodes signals that it’s time for the running powerslam.]

Terry Hogan – I don’t think he’s done enough damage to Janus yet.

[Rhodes scoops Janus up and prepares for One For The Ladies. As he begins the run, Janus attempts to fight out of the hold, but Rhodes holds tight. However, when the powerslam is hit, Janus is driven headfirst into the mat. Janus’ spine jars and his body crumples. Janus lays motionless. Rhodes makes the pin…1…2…3!]

Anna Dea – The winner of the match…and STILL SWL Quasar Champion, "Luscious" Lawrence Rhodes!

[Rhodes exits with the Quasar title in hand.]

Charlie Watkins – And Rhodes retains the Quasar title for another week.

Terry Hogan – Umm…Charlie. We’ve got a problem here. Janus isn’t moving.

Charlie Watkins – What could be wrong?

Terry Hogan – I don’t know, but I think he might have landed contorted when Rhodes hits the powerslam.

[EMTs rush down to ringside to help Janus onto a stretcher. Janus is breathing, but not moving. They cart him out to the back.]

Charlie Watkins – I sure hope he’s okay. Our condolences go out to Janus; it may be a long time before we see him again.

Terry Hogan – Let’s go now to the apparently last remaining member of the Wrecking Crew, Johnny Spades. He’s in the back with Janus right now.

[Cut to backstage, where Janus is being loaded into an ambulance. Johnny Spades is looking on, concerned.]

Spades - Hang on, man. You’ll be okay. They’re gonna fix you up real good.

Janus (speaking quietly) – Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine. Go beat Vindicator’s ass for me.

Spades – Don’t worry, man. It’s as good as done.

[Janus is loaded onto the ambulance and it starts to drive away. Cut back to ringside.]

Charlie Watkins Well, it looks like Janus is going to be okay, but we may not see him back here in the SWL for a while. He appears to have taken a painful bump in his match with Lawrence Rhodes.

[Billy Rock appears at the entranceway and comes down to ringside.]

Terry Hogan – What does he think HE’S doing?
