Charlie Watkins - Ladies and gentlemen, live from the Gund Arena is Cleveland, Ohio, this is Sunday Night Shockwave. I'm Charlie Watkins along with the best color man this side of the Cuyahoga, Terry Hogan.

Terry Hogan - That's right, and we've got quite the lineup tonight. The Kid defends his title against both of his Regulator brethren at once!

Charlie Watkins - Serves him right for what he's pulling on Brian Williams.  Williams only has so much left in his tank after the whole Grinnin incident.

Terry Hogan - He's just standing up for what he believes in.  Is there any harm in that?

Charlie Watkins - Not where I come from, however, he has a lot of explaining to do, and he hasn't given us any juicy details as it would totally destroy Williams.

Terry Hogan - What are you talking about?  Williams is the one who needs to calm down.  It was just a couple pictures.

Charlie Watkins - A picture is worth a thousand words.

Terry Hogan - Maybe you're looking at the wrong picture.

Charlie Watkins - Whatever, let's get right to the action with a newcomer, John "The Liberator" Steele

Anna Dea - The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 234 pounds, Johnny Wonderful!

[Johnny Wonderful makes his way to the ring.]

Terry Hogan - Don't you feel bad for guys like....

[A Techno Version of Phantom of the Opera plays over the speakers as Kevin Steele makes his way out.]

Charlie Watkins - Now THIS is going to get confusing.  This match is for JOHN Steele, not Kevin.

Terry Hogan - Did someone mess the names up?

[Kevin Steele comes around the ring and takes a chair and sits down.]

Charlie Watkins - Apparently he's just here to watch.

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 - The Liberator set to go one-on-one with ring veteran Johnny Wonderful.

Terry Hogan - Quite the auspicious introduction from Anna Dea there. Maybe she has a thing for guys in bandanas.

[The bell rings and the two men lock up. Johnny Wonderful executes an arm drag.]

Charlie Watkins - Wonderful with an offensive move!

Terry Hogan - Don't get too excited yet, Charlie.

[Steele gets up and kicks Wonderful in the midsection and delivers a gut-wrench suplex. Steele applies an STF on the mat, but Wonderful gets to the ropes. Wonderful stands and Steele clotheslines him back down. Steele climbs to the second turnbuckle and delivers a forearm smash. He pins Wonderful with a Maristrol Cradle, but Wonderful kicks out at two.]

Charlie Watkins - The Liberator looks impressive here.

[Steele whips Wonderful into the corner and climbs to the second turnbuckle above him. Steele punches Wonderful ten times, with the crowd chanting the count in unison. Wonderful slumps down and Steele gives him a dragon suplex.]

Terry Hogan - OK, he's got some impressive moves. But it's Johnny Wonderful, for crying out loud.

Charlie Watkins - What have you got against him? What's he ever done to you?

Terry Hogan - What's he ever done for me?

[Steele picks up Wonderful and hits him with a cradle piledriver. Wonderful is down and stays down. Steele signals that it's time to end the match.]

Terry Hogan - Already? I was enjoying watching Wonderful get pulverized.

Charlie Watkins - You'll see it plenty more as long as he keeps competing, Terry. Trust me.

[Steele picks up Wonderful and applies a spinning backbreaker. Wonderful screams in pain and gives up.]

Charlie Watkins - That's called the Liberator.

Terry Hogan - Call it whatever you want. Steele picked up his first win.

[Kevin Steele folds up his chair and walks up the aisle.]

Charlie Watkins - Let's keep it moving with another newcomer, "Loverboy" Brent Welch.

Terry Hogan - "Loverboy"?

Anna Dea - The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Coming down the aisle at this time, from Washington, D.C., Star!

[A drumbeat sounds as Star makes his way to the ring.]

Anna Dea - And his opponent, from Melbourne, Australia, weighing in at 247 pounds, "Loverboy" Brent Welch!!!

[The lights go out and Do Ya Think I'm Sexy by Entrance Begins, Pyros go off as "Loverboy" Brent Welch appears at the top of the ramp. The crowd goes wild. He rubs his chin and takes off his glasses. He slowly makes his way towards the ring pausing to sign an autograph and pose for the crowd.]

Charlie Watkins - The Loverboy makes his debut against one half of the Squad, Star.

Terry Hogan - Just what we need. Another ladies' man.

[The bell rings and Star charges in on Welch, who delivers a hip toss. Star gets up and meets an arm drag takedown, which Welch turns into an arm bar. Star turns into the pressure and Welch kicks him in the midsection. Welch backs Star into the corner and delivers two big knife edge chops. Welch grabs Star around the neck and monkey flips him. Welch poses for the crowd.]

Charlie Watkins - The Loverboy is putting on a wrestling clinic here.

Terry Hogan - He's wasting too much time showing off though.

[Welch picks up Star and applies an arm wrench. Welch hooks his leg around Star's head and delivers a face buster.]

Terry Hogan - The Rocker Dropper?

Charlie Watkins - I guess Loverboy is the missing third and final member of the Marty Janetty Fan Club.

[Welch whips Star into the ropes and delivers a big spine buster that produces a big 'uuhwaah' from the crowd. Welch signals and hooks Star into the sharpshooter in the center of the ring. Star taps out immediately.]

Charlie Watkins - The Lovemaker!

Terry Hogan - And Brent Welch picks up his first win here in the SWL.

Charlie Watkins - Now, let's move on to a David vs. Goliath affair.

Terry Hogan - You're telling me. Doctor hate takes on the 400-pound Big D.

Anna Dea – The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from the Dungeon of Devastation, weighing in at an even 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.]

Anna Dea – His opponent, 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.]

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

Terry Hogan – It’ll be interesting to see what kind of approach Dr. Hate uses against his enormous opponent.

[The bell rings and the two men lock up. Big D easily muscles Hate into the corner and unloads with big forearms. Big D whips Hate into the corner and charges in, but Hate moves out of the way. Hate delivers a chop block that sends Big D down.]

Terry Hogan - He's got to keep the big man off his feet.

[Hate delivers an elbow to the inside of Big D's knee. Hate tries to roll Big D into a leg wrench, but Big D reaches up and clubs Hate's head, sending Hate down. Big D comes off the ropes with a big splash.]

Charlie Watkins - Ooh!

Terry Hogan - Dr. Hate moved out of the way!!!

["Big D" Devistation rolls around holding his stomach.]

Charlie Watkins - Too big a move too fast.

[Dr. Hate puts a couple of boots to Devistation before rolling him up for the pin]

Terry Hogan - He goes for the pin already?

[Kevin Mills counts.....1......2.........3]

Charlie Watkins - And Dr. Hate walks away from this one the victor.

Terry Hogan - No D-Day today Chuck.

Charlie Watkins - Up next, we've got a clash of personalities as Not Applicable takes on Benjamin Beautiful.

Not Applicable vs. Benjamin Beautiful 

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 immediatly begin to boo harshly. After about 5 seconds of music Not Applicable comes out of the entrence area and heads to the ring area.

He looks niether 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 ref and shakes his head when the ref attempts to check him and he can be overheard saying that the rules dont apply to him and to back the hell off. He goes to a neutral corner and awaits the bell.]

Anna Dea – And his opponent, 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.]

Charlie Watkins – Two newcomers to the SWL squaring off in what should be an interesting contrast of styles.

Terry Hogan – I’ll say. You’ve got a glorified street thug against a glorified blueblood.

Charlie Watkins – I meant their wrestling styles.

[The bell rings and N/A delivers big right hands to Beautiful. N/A takes Beautiful and whips him into the ropes. Beautiful ducks a clothesline and comes back with a rolling head scissors. N/A gets back to his feet and catches Beautiful as Beautiful attempts a flying body press. N/A hits a fallaway slam.]

Charlie Watkins - It's back and forth here.

Terry Hogan - No one can get a clear-cut advantage yet.

[N/A drops an elbow on the prone Beautiful and attempts a pin. Beautiful kicks out at one. Beautiful gets to his feet and N/A clotheslines him over the ropes to the outside. N/A steps out to the apron and goes for a flying axhandle. Beautiful punches him in the gut and rams him into the security railing. Beautiful rolls N/A back into the ring.]

Charlie Watkins - Beautiful has the advantage now; let's see what he can do with it.

[Beautiful springs from the apron to the top rope and goes for a 450 splash. N/A moves out of the way and Beautiful impacts hard with the canvas. N/A hooks Beautiful and delivers a triple powerbomb.]

Terry Hogan - I guess that's a disadvantage to being small; you're vulnerable to that type of move.

[N/A sets up Beautiful and delivers the Application. N/A covers Beautiful…1…2…3!]

Anna Dea - The winner of this match, Not Applicable!

Charlie Watkins - Not Applicable picks up an impressive win.

Terry Hogan - In the end, Beautiful just couldn't stand up to the power moves. What have we got next?

Charlie Watkins - The Oklahoma Lynch Mob

Terry Hogan - I thought there was an arrest warrant out for them.

Charlie Watkins - I think it's only good in the state of Michigan, where they tried to hang Tank and Star.

Terry Hogan - Well, this will be no walk in the park for those two. They've got the Eastern sensations Kiymori and Komodo.

Anna Dea – The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, 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 snort and rear of a horse quickly break the silence. Two orange/red lights appear at the entrance 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 aisle way 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 steps 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 eerie glow across the arena floor. The men remove their dusters and enter the ring, leaving the noose hanging from the top turnbuckle, the two torches sitting at ringside...]

Anna Dea – And their opponents, at a total combined weight of 634 pounds, the team of Komodo and Kiyomori Shogun, Eastern Dynasty!

[The arena goes pitch black and an eerie chill goes across the arena. Smoke begins to fill flood the entranceway. "BOOM" The theme music from the Bruce Lee Story begins to play as Darin Smith comes out. He is followed by the massive Komodo and Shogun. Smith is dressed in business attire while his team is dressed in feudal Japanese attire. It is a slow methodical walk to the ring and when the finally get to the ring they disrobe and wait patiently for the match.]

Charlie Watkins – These two huge teams are on a collision course tonight.

Terry Hogan – And take a wild guess as to who the offensive focus of the match is going to be.

[The bell rings and Kiyomori and Joe Dean start the match. Kiymori ducks a clothesline from Joe Dean and comes back with a dropkick that barely moves Joe Dean. Kiyomori delivers a superkick that staggers him. Kiyomori runs to the ropes and hits a flying forearm that finally knocks him down.]

Terry Hogan - If at first you don't succeed…

[Kiyomori goes for a hurricanrana that is countered into a big powerbomb. Joe Dean makes the tag to J.W. J.W. and Joe Dean throw Kiyomori into the ropes and hit him with a double shoulder tackle. J.W. powerslams Kiyomori and tags in Joe Dean. They hit a tandem neckbreaker. Joe Dean places Kiyomori in a bearhug.]

Charlie Watkins - Phenomenal tag team wrestling from the Lynch Mob.

Terry Hogan - Smart strategy, isolate the smaller one of the team. We knew it would happen sooner or later.

[Kiyomori claps the ears of Joe Dean and runs into the ropes. Kiyomori hits a spinning heel kick and both men go down. Joe Dean and Kiyomori crawl to their respective corners. Joe Dean makes the tag and cuts off Kiyomori. Kiyomori lunges forward and makes the tag to Komodo.]

Charlie Watkins - Uh-oh

Terry Hogan - The big man is fresh.

[Komodo enters and takes out both members of the Lynch Mob with clotheslines. Komodo slams Joe Dean and delivers a HUGE legdrop. Komodo goes for the pin and it is broken up by J.W. Kiyomori enters the ring and delivers a flying clothesline to J.W. that sends them both over the ropes. Kiyomori is dominated on the outside, though, and eventually slammed into the steel steps and the security railing in succession. J.W. rolls back in the ring as Komodo is about to deliver the Dragon Drop and low blows him while the referee isn't looking. Komodo goes down and J.W. goes out to get Kiyomori.]

Terry Hogan - Kevin Mills has given up. He doesn't have a chance at controlling these men.

[J.W. brings Kiyomori back into the ring. J.W. lifts Kiyomori in the air as if to deliver a powerbomb. Instead of dropping him, however, he holds Kiyomori in the upright position. Joe Dean climbs to the top rope as J.W. positions himself so his back is to Joe Dean, and Kiyomori 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.]

Charlie Watkins - High Plains Death Ride!

Terry Hogan - That's gotta be it.

[J.W. covers Kiyomori…1…2…3!]

Anna Dea - Here are your winners, The Oklahoma Lynch Mob!

[Joe Dean goes to the outside and punches Darin Smith. He rolls him into the ring as J.W. grabs a mike. ...J.W. Rogers pauses for a moment his head moving up and down, as Joe Dean Rogers holds Darin Smith by the hair swinging him around like rag doll. Joe Dean stops momentarly looking back up at J.W. JW's chest begins to vibrate with laughter as he brings the mic to his mouth...]

J.W. Rogers: Get the B*TCH on his knee's!

[...Joe Dean nods driving a stiff knee into the stomach of Darin Smith dropping him to his knees in a bundle...]

J.W. Rogers: Look around son, take a long hard look at your failed attempt at Eastern Domination. See those two snapper heads laying in a heap on the floor over there, that's a result of Lynchmob domination. Get a close up of those pieces of garbage, and save it. Because that is the last time you will see the Eastern Dynasty standing in the same view as the Lynchmob. You ran your mouth, and those boys paid for it. But ya see, we might be monsters and criminals as you have called us. But we believe in keeping things fair.

I am sure that my brother will agree, it wouldn't be right for us to walk out of here and not pay a little justice to the worm that did all the talking. So Darin Smith, COURT IS NOW IN SESSION!!!!!

J.W. Rogers: On the charges of TREASON against his country, Darin Smith is found guilty as charged. Sentence, The Justice Dive. Get the noose Joe Dean.

Terry Hogan - It doesn't look good for Darin Smith.

[...J.W. slams his boot into the face of Darin Smith dropping him to the mat. Joe Dean Rogers walks over pulling the noose from the top of the turnbuckle and returns to the middle of the ring. J.W. holds Smith down with a knee pushing it hard into the top of his chest, then throw's the noose over his head...]

J.W. Rogers: By the way, you wanted a reason to use that warrant. YOU GOT ONE!

Charlie Watkins - No! Don't do it!!!

[...The Lynchmob lifts Smith up and throws him head first over the top turn buckle holding the other end of the rope. Joe Dean holds the rope hanging Smith over the ring apron. J.W. turns back to the camera...]

J.W. Rogers: Arcola and Ho, LISTEN UP! Take a good look, and remember it. We are the new number one contenders for the SWL Tag Team titles. We want those belts, and there ain't nothing you, Darin Smith, or Brian Williams can do about it! You wanted to know who was next? NOW YOU KNOW! And M.O.B. Squad, you just signed your walking papers boy, were comin for ya so you better start making some better friends then the Russian Teddy Bear.

[...J.W. throws down the mic and rolls out of the ring going for a chair. He grabs the chair and flattens both members of the Eastern Dynasty then makes his way over to the hanging Darin Smith bringing the chair up...]

J.W. Rogers: Here's something to take back to Japan jackass. Tell them, it's an Oklahoma Original.

[As J.W. is about to blast Darin Smith, MOB Squad appears and grabs the chair from him. He nails Joe Dean with it over the head and J.W. in the midsection. MOB Squad lifts J.W. and delivers an AWESOME screwdriver. Darin Smith slumps to the floor, but is still breathing. MOB Squad exits to the back.]

Charlie Watkins - My goodness! We've got chaos out here!

Terry Hogan - What does MOB Squad think he's getting himself into?

Anna Dea – The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Coming down the aisle at this time, from St. Petersburg, Russia, weighing in at 285 pounds, "The Russian Bear" Nikita Morosov!

[Russian Natl Anthem blares as Morozov walks to the ring without his trademark chain or Russian flag in his hand. He is wearing red and yellow trunks and boots and has a serious look on his face.]

Charlie Watkins - Morosov looks all business tonight.

[Morosov takes the mike from Anna Dea.]

Morosov - Mr. Ho, davai, [shakes his head] LETS DO IT!!!

Anna Dea – And his opponent, from Osaka, Japan, weighing in at 230 pounds, accompanied by his partner Justin Arcola, one half of the SWL Tag Team Champions, "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, with Arcola behind him. He stands on the outside of the ring, tosses his belt to Justin, and flips over the ropes to the middle of the ring. He is handed back the belt and holds it with one hand as he flexes his biceps. Arcola exits the ring and takes a seat at the announcer’s table.]

Charlie Watkins – We are joined at this time by one half of the tag team champs, Justin Arcola.

Terry Hogan – Now wait a minute, it’s nice to have you here, Justin, but I have to question whether you’re really here to just watch the match. Don’t you think your partner can handle the Bear on his own?

Arcola – Well, unlike our Russian friend here, I have no intentions of instigating a fight. And no, I don’t think Ty needs me out here. He can beat Morosov on Morosov’s best day. But as we all know, Nikita has a history of using his manhood extension…I mean his chain…to his advantage. I’m just here to make sure that doesn’t happen to my partner.

[MOB Squad appears at the top of the entranceway. He comes down to ringside and Morosov directs him to Arcola. MOB Squad takes a seat in a chair about 10 feet from the announcer's table?]

Terry Hogan – What's this?

Arcola – You tell me. Looks like Nikita's not too keen the deck not being stacked in his favor.

Charlie Watkins - This could change the complexion of the match.

Arcola - Right. I'm really scared of a big Australian who's been on the losing end of more title matches than The Franchise himself.

[The bell rings and Ty Shun Ho applies a side headlock. Morosov easily shoots Ho into the ropes and shoulder blocks him down. Ho is quickly up and ducks a running clothesline from Morosov and dropkicks Morosov’s knee. Ho snaps Morosov’s head back with a roundhouse kick. The crowd lets out a huge "Uuhwaa".]

Charlie Watkins – Ty Shun Ho takes the big man down.

Terry Hogan – Smart move. Let’s see if he can keep him down.

[Ty Shun Ho runs to the ropes and drops an Asai Moonsault on the prone Morosov. Ho goes for a pin, but only gets two. Morosov gets up slowly and Ty Shun Ho sunset flips Morosov, but Morosov doesn’t go down. Morosov reaches down and lifts Ho off the mat with a double-handed chokehold. Morosov delivers a spine buster slam.]

Terry Hogan – If it comes down to power, Arcola, I think you’d agree your partner doesn’t have a shot.

Arcola – Well, as Morosov is lacking in speed, wrestling ability, and intelligence, I suppose power’s the only thing he has to go with.

[Morosov whips Ho into the corner. He charges in with a body avalanche. He whips Ho into the opposite corner and follows him, running. Ho leapfrogs and catches Morosov’s neck with his feet. Ho delivers a head scissors takedown that sends Morosov over the ropes to the outside. Morosov gets up and realizes that he is right next to the announcer’s table. He stares down Arcola and Arcola raises his hands in a submissive position.]

Charlie Watkins – Take it easy, you two.

Arcola – Hey. I’m not going to start any trouble. Just step back, there Nikita.

[Morosov lays a big right hand into Arcola. Morosov turns around and sees Ty Shun Ho flying at him. Ho lands on his shoulders and executes a spinning hurricanrana on the concrete. Ho rolls Morosov back into the ring. Arcola stands up.]

Charlie Watkins – Hey! Come on now.

Arcola – Don’t worry, I’m not going to lay a hand on Morosov.

[Arcola jogs to the back. Ty Shun Ho whips Morosov into the ropes and goes for another hurricanrana. Morosov counters with a powerbomb. Morosov goes for a pin but can’t hold Ho down. Justin Arcola appears back at the top of the ramp with a shopping cart containing various items, including a trash can and the Russian flag. Arcola is holding a microphone.]

Arcola – Hey Morosov! [Holds up the Russian flag] I couldn't help but notice you left this lying around back in the locker room. Now I know all about your pride in your country. And seeing as you're from St. Petersburg, it's really the only thing you have going for you. So it would probably be a bad idea if I went and did…oh…say this:

[Arcola breaks the flag over his knee and tosses it in the can. Morosov is incensed, but reserved.]

Arcola - Not good enough for you, hmm? Well check this sh*t out.

[He produces a can of gasoline and pours it on top of the flag. Morosov’s face clenches and he jumps out of the ring. He runs down the ramp and attacks Arcola. Arcola gets the upper hand and pulls Morosov's chain from the shopping cart and hits Morosov over the head with it. The referee calls for the bell.]

Anna Dea - The winner of the match as a result of a disqualification, "The Russian Bear" Nikita Morosov!

Charlie Watkins - That was Morosov's chain.

Terry Hogan - Where'd he leave his stuff lying? In the middle of an empty room?

[Ho comes down from the ring and locks Morosov in an STF. Arcola pulls a Zippo out of his pocket. He taunts Morosov, lights it and tosses it into the can, producing a smoldering mass of fire. Arcola picks up the microphone from the ramp.]

Arcola – You want to use weapons, Morosov? Let’s bring them to the ring. Let’s make it all legal. No Holds Barred, Nikita. Any time, any place. You know where to find me.

[Ho lets go of the hold and he and Arcola celebrate at the top of the ramp. Morosov gets up and grabs his chain from the shopping cart. He takes out Ho with the chain. Out of nowhere, MOB Squad comes and hits Arcola.]

Charlie Watkins - It's MOB Squad! Hasn't he caused enough trouble for one night?

[MOB Squad delivers a screwdriver to Arcola on the ramp. Morosov locks Arcola in Good Night Moscow. Security comes to pull Morosov off Arcola and escort him and MOB Squad to the back. The tag champs lay prone at the top of the ramp.]

Charlie Watkins – My goodness! Does Justin Arcola have any idea what he’s gotten himself into?

Terry Hogan – Not only did he cost his partner a match, but he also may have sealed his fate with the Russian Bear. Morosov is not going to take kindly to Justin burning his native flag at all.

[The camera cuts to backstage, where Morosov is walking with MOB Squad.]

Morosov - Thank you for your assistance, my American comrade.

MOB Squad - I'm from Australia, Nikita.

Morosov - Even better. But I do not want to get involved in another tag team rivalry. I think we both need to go our separate ways in singles.

MOB Squad - Fine. Just remember that after you win the Spotlight title, I get the first shot at it.

[Out of nowhere, a chair appears from off-camera and levels the Morozov. Kevin Steele steps into the frame as MOB Squad runs to the back.]

Steele - Now Morozov... I told you, that a time was coming. You were a marked man, and by God I MEANT EVERY WORD I SAID!!!"

Steele - "You got involved in something by far bigger than you Morozov... and now comes the time you pay the price for ever taking what was mine to begin with! You want your trophy, have it.. and every day of your life will be miserable...!"

Steele - "You bit off the hunk Russian Bear... Now I am gonna make you swallow it!"

[Cut back to ringside.]

Charlie Watkins - My God! We've got to get some control here!

Terry Hogan - Morosov has more enemies than a long-tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs! Let me see if I can get this straight. Ty Shun Ho and Justin Arcola are both gunning for The Bear for repeated chain attacks…Arcola wants him in a No Holds Barred Match…Morosov wants Kevin Steele in a Spotlight Title Match…

Charlie Watkins - And MOB Squad doesn't care who he has to go through to get that Spotlight Belt…including Morosov himself. Well, ladies and gentlemen, there's not much we can do to top that…except for our main event.

Terry Hogan - Possibly one of the most crucial main events in recent history.

Anna Dea – The following contest is a Handicap Match scheduled for one fall. And…it is for the SWL Heavyweight Championship!

[POP]

Anna Dea – Introducing the challengers…first, 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 ... after a pause a woman walks out through the entrance. She is about 5'7, has long cascading black hair, and although of Carribbean extract is quite light skinned. She wears a tight white lycra style top and large well worn Levi 501 Jeans. She stands, somewhat like Rhodes surveying the crowd. There is a mixed reaction as this is this womans first appearance on SWL TV. As she begins the walk down to the ring Lawrence Rhodes comes out from the back. He also stands staring out into the arena surveying the crowd. The Quasar Championship belt is fastened around his waist and he gives it a little rub for the camera. Rhodes is again wearing a pair of white spandex shorts and white boots. But this time he finishes the look with a tight fitting white SWL ' The Eliminator' R.B. Burns teeshirt. Rhodes then follows down towards the ring. As Rhodes gets to ringside he removes his shirt and throws it into the crowd. Rhodes walks up the steel steps and then holds the ropes open for the woman to enter the ring. He follows then backs into the corner. ]

Terry Hogan - Who do you think THAT is?

Charlie Watkins - We've heard rumors that Rhodes was getting himself a new valet. This must be her.

Terry Hogan - We're getting word now that her name is Ebony.

Anna Dea – His partner, weighing in at 245 pounds, from Gainesville, FL a member of The Regulators, The Vindicator!!!

[A giant V appears on the Jumbo Tron and the lights go out. "My Own Prison" by Creed begins to play as green lasers light the arena and the Vindicator can be seen in the entryway. He walks out a little way and stops. There is a large explosion and the Vindicator runs to the ring. He raises his arm above his head to a huge crowd reaction.]

Anna Dea – And their opponent, from Little Rock, Arkansas, weighing in at 248 pounds, he is a member of the Regulators and the SWL Heavyweight Champion, "The Kid" Billy Rock!!!

["Whatever It Takes" by POD blares over the loudspeakers as "The Kid" Billy Rock steps out from the entranceway with the championship belt strapped around his waist. He polishes the belt with his hand and unstraps it from his waist. He holds it high above his head to a big time crowd reaction and drapes it over his shoulder as he makes his way to the ring.]

Charlie Watkins – This could be The Kid’s toughest hurdle yet.

Terry Hogan – Absolutely. He’s got two of the best in the SWL both gunning for his title at once.

Charlie Watkins - And if referee Kevin Mills can keep the tempers in check, it should be a classic match.

[Rock offers a handshake to his opponents. Rhodes takes it, as does Vindicator, albeit reluctantly.]

Charlie Watkins - There's been some tension in the last couple of weeks between Vindy and the champ.

[The bell rings and Rhodes starts the match for his team. Rhodes and Rock lock up and Rhodes executes a fireman's carry. Rhodes goes on top of Rock with a side headlock. Rhodes rides a little high on it and Rock slips out from behind. Rock wrenches the arm of Rhodes and rolls into a Maristrol cradle pin. Rhodes kicks out at one.]

Charlie Watkins - The more basic elements of wrestling shining through here.

[Vindicator asks for a tag and gets it. Vindicator and Rock lock up. Rock takes Vindicator down with a headlock takeover and holds the headlock on tightly. Vindicator fights his way to his feet and shoots Rock to the ropes. Rock is knocked down with a shoulderblock and Vindicator shoots himself off the ropes. This time, Rock catches Vindicator with a scissor sweep. Both men get to their feet. Rock kicks Vindicator in the midsection and backs up a few steps and charges with a swinging neckbreaker attempt, but Vindicator sees it and counters with an inverted atomic drop. Rock is dazed and Vindicator executes a beautiful German suplex. He bridges into a pin, but can only get a count of two.]

Terry Hogan - What a beautiful exchange.

Charlie Watkins - Two of the best in the SWL bringing the crowd to their feet.

[Rhodes asks for a tag, but doesn't get it. Vindicator instead hooks Rock's legs and arms and rolls backward into a Mexican surfboard. Rock screams in pain.]

Terry Hogan - I think Vindicator seems intent on doing some damage to Rock tonight.

[Ebony climbs up to the apron and whispers something in Rhodes' ear. Rhodes suddenly has an introspective look on his face. Vindicator rolls Rock back so that his shoulders are on the mat. Rhodes quickly comes in to break up the count. Vindicator gets up and looks at Rhodes quizzically. Rhodes points to himself and then to Rock. Vindicator and Rhodes have an exchange of words until Rock gets up. Then, they give him a double clothesline.]

Charlie Watkins - The referee should put one of these men out of the ring. I know it's a handicap match, but it should at least be one on one at a time.

[At the entranceway, Johnny Spades and Nicole are seen coming down towards ringside. Vindicator sees him and jumps out of the ring. The two men meet in the aisle and begin trading punches. In the ring, Rock hits a superkick that stuns Rhodes, but doesn't knock him down. Rock signals for a flying forearm and runs into the ropes. Ebony reaches in and trips Rock.]

Charlie Watkins - It looks like Rhodes' new manager is paying divdends.

Terry Hogan - I don't think Rhodes saw it though.

[Rhodes regains his senses just in time to see Rock reaching through the ropes and grabbing Ebony by the hair. Rhodes spins Rock around and shouts at him. Rock says that she tripped him, but Rhodes doesn't buy it. Suddenly, Rock charges past Rhodes to help Vindicator, who is being beaten by Spades. Steph comes down from the entranceway and jumps Nicole. Rhodes asks Ebony if she tripped Rock and Ebony says no. The referee counts both Rock and Vindicator out of the ring.]

Anna Dea - Ladies and gentlemen, Billy Rock and Vindicator have both been counted out of the ring. This match is a draw.

Terry Hogan - Rhodes can't be happy with that.

[Rock holds Spades for Vindicator to hit. Vindicator swings and hits Rock when Spades ducks. Spades throws Steph off Nicole, picks her up, and sprints to the back carrying her. The Kid and Vindy get into a shouting match in the aisle as Rhodes comes out from the ring. He joins Vindicator in the argument. Bret Real is seen in the entranceway looking on, shaking his head.]

Terry Hogan - Wow. The entire world seems to want a piece of Billy Rock.

Charlie Watkins - Could this be the end of the Regulators, ladies and gentlemen? We'll find out next week. Until then, I'm Charlie Watkins for Terry Hogan. Keep reaching for those stars!
