Charlie Watkins - Live from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois and straight off the heels of one of the greatest PPVs in SWL history, welcome to Sunday Night Shockwave.

Terry Hogan - That’s right, Charlie, we’ve got an action-packed lineup tonight. The new SWL Quasar Champion puts his belt on the line against the new Spotlight champion and the Vindicator takes on Janus.

Charlie Watkins - Although no real earth shattering developments occured at Prevailing Justice, we had some great wrestling and our titles may have been revtitalized a bit.

(SWL anchor, Dalton Fisk comes out from the entrance and walks down to the ring with a mic.  He then stands in the center of the ring ... )

Dalton Fisk - Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for the most successful group of superstars in SWL history ... THE REGULATORS!!

(HUGE pop ... )

(The light's dim as a yellow glow encases the arena.''Release Yo'delf (Prodigy Mix) - Methodman begins to play over the PA system. A strobe begins to flash inside the arena, as 'Luscious' Lawrence Rhodes ambles out. Rhodes is dressed in indigo jean, black boots and wears the Quaser belt around his waist. The crowd gives out a good pop. Rhodes stands on the ramp looking out into the crowd.)

("My Own Prison" by Creed then begins to play as the lights go out.  The green lasers flood the arena and the crowd remains on their feet.  The Vindicator walks out in a blue and white "Real Fear" shirt and blue jeans. His face is painted in his original design in blue, white and grey to match his shirt.  He runs to one side of the entry way and points out to the fans. Those fans explode.  He runs to the otherside and does the same thing.  He gives LLR some dap and then acts like he's polishing LLR's Quasar belt.)

(Clothed by an Arkansas Razorbacks football jersey and a pair of red and white Adidas track pants, "The Kid" Billy Rock presents himself with the SWL World Heavyweight Title tucked beneath his right arm.  He clinches the hand of Vindicator, then Lawrence before raising his fist as a salute to the crowd ... )

("Bulls on Parade" by Rage Against The Machine begins to play as Bret Real makes his way out from the back dressed in black and white Adidas tearaways
and a white tanktop-style undershirt.   He is seen carrying a black, medium-sized gift bag in his right hand.  As he joins his teammates, The Regulators walk the aisle together and climb to the ring apron.  All four select a corner and scale their post.  The Kid and Lawrence wave their titles proudly in the air while Vindicator and Bret Real signal to the fans.  After a lengthy spurt of pyro they step down and gather in the center of the ring.  Dalton offers Lawrence the microphone, who accepts ...)

"Lusicous" Lawrence Rhodes - Thanks Dalton ( Rhodes slaps Dalton Fisk on the back.) Well what a night Prevailing Justice was. The Regulators reinforced the notion that ... we are ... the most dominant force here in the SWL ... and 'Luscious' Lawrence Rhodes got some gold to put around his waist. [Rhodes begins to buff the Quasar belt.] Now, there have been some rumblings as to why the Luscious One got his match against the Ghost. What exactly did I do to deserve the shot. Did I get down on my bended knees and plead with the Pres ... [Rhodes turns to the other Regs and smiles] I think not. I was in the
right place at the goddam right time ... and if you don't like it ... you can kiss my big phat one. [Again Rhodes smiles] Now Chicago ... tonight I put this on the line against Jason Blake. Blake ... the man that's beaten me more times than I care to remember. Do you see a worried look on my face [Rhodes sort of pulls a weird face] NO ... its more a face of disdain. I'll take on anybody ... anytime ... and that includes Billy here [Rhodes points at the Kid] Big V here [Rhodes then points at the Vindicator] King Kong, Godzilla, Big Foot outta the Hendersons ... anyone.

[Rhodes moves over towards the ropes. He leans back ... then springs forward again.]

Rhodes - You see, this is my time. Its time Lawrence Rhodes put away the misery that I have endured, its about time that I put the smile back on my face. And Jason Blake ... I'm gonna have a smile on my face tonight when I pin your ass in this ring.

[Rhodes moves towards the Vindicator and thrusts the stick towards him.]

Vindicator - LLR's got me all hyped up now!!!  As if last Sunday wasn't enough!

(He turns to Rhodes.)

Vindicator - (he points to the Quasar belt)  That feels good don't it?  I know man cause I was there and there is not a man in this company that deserves that thing more than you do right now.

(He turns back to Kid.)

Vindicator - And Kid...man I'm itching to really hurt somebody to win that title but I ain't gonna try that on you and dang it you just can't lose it!!!

(Kid and the Vindicator laugh as the Vindicator shakes Kid's hand.  He then turns to Real.)

Vindicator - And you....the original Regulator...you just can't get enough of the SWL can you?

(He slaps real five.)

Vindicator - And how can I forget what happened to me last Sunday.  One of, if not THE, highlight of my career.  Hitting Grinnin with that reversed
superplex known as Harsh Justice of the top a cage and quite possibly taking the man out of wrestling for a long  time.  That has been my mission for over two years.  And I can finally say "mission accomplished."  So with Grinnin fallen, and Spades defeated, I get to take out one of the few remaining member of that Wrecked Crew.  And a little later tonight I get to take out one of the remaining members of the Wrecked Crew, Janus.  Janus if you look at us man we are on a roll.  It's not a good idea to get in our way right now but if you still have the guts to bring it tonight I will Regulate yo tail.

(He hands the mic to the Kid.)

"The Kid" Billy Rock - If you're not a Regulator, Sunday was one of those nights when you shut your eyes tight and wished to God you were.

(The fans agree during a brief pause ... )

The Kid - Because if you were one of the four men passing this stick around right now then you didn't take anything less from that night than what you came for. (points to Rhodes) Gold! (points to Vindicator) Revenge! (points to Real) Satisfaction! (points to his own chest) Respect!  And when those four elements of this business blend together you have a concoction that heaves anyone who plants his feet in front of you right on his prissy little ass!

(The Kid turns his back and nods to his teammates, then peers over his shoulder in all seriousness ... )

The Kid - Ain't that a b*tch, Spades?

(POP ... )

The Kid - Throughout the last month or so I may have spent a lot more time sprawled across the canvass than you have, Johnny.  But I want you to remind yourself of one thing before you think about coming face to face with The Kid again.  It was your shoulders rubbing the mat when it counted. (extends a finger) One. (another) Two. (and another) Three. That's how long it takes me to make a man famous, Spades.  So I hope you relished your fifteen minutes. (smirk)

Now the question on the tip of everyone's tongue is, "Who's next, Kid"? All I have to say is this.  If you find anyone left, steer him toward me. We've already plunged a fork into The Wrecking Crew.  They're finished. Done.  Finito.  Kaput.  They tweaked and updated their roster so much they made Van Halen look cohesive.  And the only thing they went on to prove was that The Regulators will tear apart any combination of names you stitch together. (pats Vindicator) This man right here is gonna split the final seam of The Wrecking Crew tonight.

You know, that makes me think.  Vindicator has a match.  The Luscious One gets to make another trip down the aisle tonight.

(The Kid extracts a rolled thin magazine from behind.  He spreads it open and flips the pages ... )

The Kid - But as I scan the rest of the program I don't see my name in print. (grin) Even though I am on the cover.

(Billy displays the cover to the fans, then to his teammates who compliment the picture in jest ... )

The Kid - Now, Micheal Cage, do you have any idea what that means?

(The fans begin to cheer as the memory of Billy's promise to Cage resurfaces ... )

The Kid - Of course you do.  That's why you've been crouched beneath your desk with the door locked all damn day.  Well I'm gonna do you a solid.
We'll go ahead and call that shot I gave you a couple of weeks ago a down payment on the beating you bought tonight.  But how are you going to cover
the rest, Micheal?  I don't feel like chasing you up the walls just to stomp another hole in your ass.  Actually, I've got an idea.  The Kid doesn't have to go hunting for trouble very often.  It usually has a good sense of where to find me.  But this time I'm not just gonna stand here and look over my shoulder.

Cage, you and I have had enough battles for me to lose track, but one thing I haven't forgotten are the outcomes.  We've never completed a decisive
match.  So next week, at the end of the night, I'm gonna be standing in this ring surrounded by a steel cage.  I'm inviting you to clime through these ropes and shut the door behind you.  But be forewarned, once you do, neither one of us gets through through those walls until we see a winner. You're the booker, Micheal.  You've got the ink to make it happen.  But ... do you have the balls to make it happen?

(The Kid grins at Bret Real while putting the mic in his hand.  Real puts the gift bag he's been carrying down by his feet as he takes center stage in the ring ... )

Bret Real - THIS... (Real motions to the three men standing behind him)... is what great stables are made of...  WINNERS... not WHINERS... And
speaking of whiners, the biggest crybaby Iíve seen in a looong time has got to be that verbal-diarrhea-suffering mouthpiece of the Weeping Crew...
Johnny Spades.

(Real breaks into a nasally, whiny voice in a sarcastic impersonation of "Mr. Vegas" Johnny Spades)

Bret Real - (as Spades) ñ Sure The Kid kicked my ass all over the ring at Prevailing Justice... but, but, but... it wasnít fair!  (sniffle)  Bret Real was standing right outside the ring with his big, bad self!

(Real exaggerates wiping away a sniffle by running his arm from his forearm down right to his index finger across his nose.  Without skipping a beat, The Kid reaches into his pocket and offers Bret a kleenex.  Bret mockingly declines and reassures his teammates that heíll be fine.)

Bret Real - (still as Spades) Sure, he didnít lay a finger on me... and, yeah, he didnít interfere in any other way either... but he COULDA!!  Damn it... he just MIGHTA!

(Real breaks out of his impersonation and looks straight into the camera...)

Bret Real - Coulda, woulda, shoulda, Spades... The fact of the matter is that you got your ass handed to you by the top player in the game!  Just like Grinnin got his handed to him by Vindy... and The Ghost did from LLR! (pop)  But for your efforts, Spades, and as a token of goodwill... Iíve brought a little something for you...

(Real picks up the black gift bag and reaches into it...)

Bret Real - Here you go, Spades!  A nice 12 pound block of LIMBURGER CHEESE!!

(The other Regulators in the ring begin to chuckle as they can see where Real is going to go with this.  Rhodes plugs his nose with one hand and waves the other hand in front of his face as if smelling a foul odor...)

Bret Real - Why a 12 pound block of cheese, you ask?  Well, other than it resembling that 12 pound block on your shoulders that you call a head... One...  cheese is... well... "cheesy"... and lets be honest here, Johnny - so is your whole persona!  Two...  Limburger stinks and... hell, you can't wrestle for beans and your wrestling ability stinks too!  And lastly and most importantly... the reason I bought you a nice big, block of limburger is so that now, whenever you and your Weeping Crew buddies hold one of your little "Itty Bitty Pity Committees", you can all have some CHEESE with your WHINE! (pop) So, Spades... just keep your little tears in check and take your beatings like a man.  Eventually youíll learn that crying about you failures won't help you one bit... it only exposes your weaknesses to the superior stable in the SWL... as voted by the fans (Real waves his finger across the crowd)... The Regulators!

("Whatever It Takes" by POD plays as The Regulators return to the back ... )

Charlie Watkins - Some harsh words from The Regulators specifically towards the now weakened Wrecking Crew.  We really have no idea on Grinnin's condition.  He seems to be in very bad shape at this point, and I don't even think that Spades is in the building tonight.  Janus is going to have to take on The Vindicator with no backup.

Terry Hogan - And of course he can take him.  Just watit.

Charlie Watkins - Let’s get right to the action with the debut of Greg "The Good Guy" Briggs.

Terry Hogan - The what?
 


Greg "The Good Guy" Briggs vs. Johnny Wonderful



Anna Dea - The following match is scheduled for one fall. Coming down the aisle at this time, from Philadelphia, PA, weighing in at 239 pounds, Johnny Wonderful!

[Johnny Wonderful makes his way to the ring.]

Anna Dea - And his opponent, from Helena, WY, weighing in at 285 pounds, Greg "The Good Guy" Briggs!

[The theme song from "The Andy Griffith Show" kicks in as Greg Briggs makes his way to the ring in a normal fashion.]

Charlie Watkins - "The Good Guy" makes his debut against ring veteran Johnny Wonderful tonight.

[The opening bell rings and the two men tie up. Briggs uses leverage to force Wonderful into the ropes. He Irish whips Wonderful and backdrops him. Johnny Wonderful dodges an elbow drop and arm drags Briggs. Briggs is up quickly and bodyslams Wonderful.]

Charlie Watkins - Briggs starting off cautiously here.

[Johnny Wonderful reverses an Irish whip and clotheslines Briggs. Briggs gets up and ducks a second cothesline from Wonderful and kicks Wonderful in the midsection. Briggs comes off the ropes with a running knee lift. Briggs picks up Wonderful and DDTs him.]

Charlie Watkins - Big move from The Good Guy

Terry Hogan - Who has the nerve to call himself "The Good Guy" these days?

[Briggs whips Wonderful into the corner and hits him with a running shoulder thrust. He places Wonderful in position and climbs to the second turnbuckle. He hooks Wonderful and powerbombs him off the second rope.]

Charlie Watkins - There’s the second rope powerbomb.

Terry Hogan - (mockingly) – He calls that move The Good Deed.

[Briggs makes the pin…1…2…3!]

Anna Dea - The winner of the match…Greg "The Good Guy" Briggs!

Charlie Watkins - And the Good Guy picks up an impressive win in his debut here in the SWL. Up next, though, we’ve got the two of the final three participants in last Sunday’s RB Burns Memorial Battle Royal. Ty Shun Ho takes on the Russian Bear.

(The scene cuts to the backstage area looking into an office with the door marked "Williams".  There we see President Brian Williams talking to Dalton Fisk.)

Brian Williams - Dalton, I really think we have the SWL going in the right direction now.  I mean, with Kid holding the World Title and Rhodes holding the Quasar belt, what could be better?  Billy Rock has finally proven that he is a worthy champion... which I really, truely believe.  With him beating Spades like that, who can question that he is the best in the game and is the most deserving of the belt?

Dalton Fisk - Certainly not myself.

Brian Williams - I don't know of anyone else I would rather have holding the belt.

(The scene cuts back to ringside)

Terry Hogan - Well, before we were interupted with that worthless piece of dialogue from the President, we were about to get to a match.
 


Ty Shun Ho vs. "The Russian Bear" Nikita Morosov



Anna Dea - The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Coming down the aisle, from Osaka, Japan, weighing in at 235 pounds, 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. He stands on the outside of the ring and flips over the ropes to the middle of the ring. He flexes his biceps. ]

Anna Dea - And his opponent, from Leningrad…er…I mean from St. Petersburg, Russia, weighing in at 285 pounds, the winner of the RB Burns Memorial Cup, "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. He shoots a look at Anna Dea as she exits the ring.]

Terry Hogan - Someone should tell our ring announcer Anna Dea that the Iron Curtain fell over a decade ago.

[The opening bell rings and Ty Shun Ho unloads with several knife-edge chops. Morosov shrugs them off and knocks down Ho with a clothesline. He picks up Ho and hits him with a full nelson slam.]

Charlie Watkins - The Dragon in some trouble in the early going here.

[Morosov whips Ty Shun Ho into the ropes. Ho ducks a clothesline and hits Morosov with a spinning hurricanrana. Morosov stumbles into the corner and Ho charges full-speed with a knee to the face. Morosov slumps down in the corner and Ho hits him with a hard roundhouse kick to the forehead, busting it open.]

Charlie Watkins - The Russian Bear is bleeding already.

Terry Hogan - That didn’t take too long.

[Morosov reverses an Irish whip and Ho hits the opposite corner. Morosov kicks Ho in the midsection and delivers a double-underhook suplex. He goes for a pin, but Ho kicks out at 1.]

Terry Hogan - Say what you will about the Russian Bear; the man can wrestle.

[Morosov blatantly chokes Ty Shun Ho and holds it until the count of 4. He applies a head scissors and squeezes tightly. Ho drives his elbow into the ankle of Morosov and Morosov lets go. Ho whips Morosov into the ropes, but Morosov reverses it. As Ho nears the ropes, however, he leaps to the top and springboards off with an Asai moonsault. Ho ascends to the top rope and connects with a 450 splash. Morosov kicks out at the very last second.]

Charlie Watkins - Ty Shun Ho put a beautiful series of moves together, but couldn’t get a pin.

[Ty Shun Ho signals to the crowd and goes for the Dragon Driver. Morosov is too heavy, however, and overpowers Ho into the cross-face chicken wing.]

Charlie Watkins - It’s Good Night Moscow!

Terry Hogan - The Dragon is in a world of trouble if he doesn’t get to the ropes.

[Ty Shun Ho can’t get to the ropes and taps out.]

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

[Morosov gets his chain from ringside and brings it into the ring.]

Terry Hogan - What is he doing?

Charlie Watkins - He’s won the match; why doesn’t he just leave?

[Morosov measures Ho and nails him several times with the chain. He taunts the crowd and goes back for another shot when Justin Arcola sprints down the ramp.]

Charlie Watkins - It’s Justin Arcola!

[Arcola slides in the ring under the bottom rope. He stares down Morosov.. Morosov takes a swing with the chain and Arcola ducks it. Morosov spins around and gets a kick in the midsection followed by a double-underhook piledriver, leaving a rather large pool of blood splattered on the mat.]

Charlie Watkins - Morosov takes the Arcola Driver!

Terry Hogan - And the Russian Bear is out cold.

[Ty Shun Ho and Justin Arcola exit to the back as Morosov slowly gets up. He grabs his chain and follows in hot pursuit.]

Terry Hogan - Morosov can’t be too happy.

Charlie Watkins - What has the Russian Bear got in store for the tag champs? We’ll find out later, but right now, it’s time for our next contest.
 


"The Showstopper" Jett Jones vs. Banshee



Anna Dea - The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, weighing in at 264 pounds, from Dublin, Ireland, Banshee!!!

[The lights go out. Green lights flash on and off and a sillouhette of a screaming face is shown on the jumbotron. A loud screech is heard and "War Pigs" by Faith No More starts playing. Banshee comes out wearing his black cloak and green tights. He walks to the rings slowly.]

Anna Dea - And his opponent, from Highlands, North Carolina, weighing in at 283 pounds, "The Showstopper" Jett Jones.

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

Charlie Watkins - A chance for two relative newcomers to showcase their talents here.

[The opening bell rings and Jett Jones unloads on Banshee with right hands. Banshee is stunned and Jett Jones comes off the ropes with a clothesline. Jones delivers a leg drop off the ropes and goes for a pin, but only gets one.]

Charlie Watkins - It’s WAY too early for that.

Terry Hogan - Jones is a young guy; and youth doesn’t always bring patience.

[Banshee reverses an Irish whip and takes down Jones with an armbar. Jones fights his way up and counters with a single leg takedown. Banshee hooks him into a scissors sweep, however, and applies an STF. Jones fights the pain until he can reach the ropes. Referee Kevin Mills breaks the hold.]

Charlie Watkins - Jones fought his way out of that one, but appears to be in bad shape.

[Jones ducks a running clothesline from Banshee and counters with a reverse neckbreaker. Jones climbs to the second turnbuckle and comes flying off with an elbow smash. Banshee gets up dazed and Jones clotheslines him over the ropes.]

Terry Hogan - Banshee is in a world of trouble right now.

[Jones picks up Banshee and whips him into the security railing. He knocks aside the timekeeper and picks up his steel chair. He aims for Banshee’s head, but Banshee gets a foot up and the chair impacts with Jones’ face. The chair falls to the floor and Banshee DDT’s Jones on top of it. Banshee throws Jones back into the ring.]

Charlie Watkins - Let’s see if Banshee can put the Showstopper away.

[Banshee goes to the Banshee’s Wail, but Jones slips out of Banshee’s grip. As Banshee is turning around, Jones and hooks him around the side with one arm. He lifts him up high and plants him into the mat.]

Charlie Watkins - There it is! The Thriller!

[Jones makes the pin…1…2…3!]

Anna Dea - Here is your winner, "The Showstopper" Jett Jones!

Charlie Watkins - And The Showstopper picks up a victory in a match that I think you could agree, Terry, could have gone either way.

Terry Hogan - That’s right, Charlie. Banshee had the match won, but one quick move was all it took to give The Showstopper the win.

Charlie Watkins - Well, folks, up next we’ve got a contrast in styles as Cyle Storm takes on Kevin Steele.
 


"Old School" Cyle Storm vs. Kevin Steele



Anna Dea - The following contest is scheduled for one fall. On his way to the ring at this time, weighing in at 236 pounds, from Keansburg, New Jersey, "Old School" Cyle Storm!!!

[The house lights dim ever so slightly, as "I'm Afraid Of American's" hits. "Old School" Cyle Storm walks out to the ring, wearing his simplistic black trunks and white boots. He shakes no hands, he cracks no smiles, he just continues towards the ring, he walks up the steps, and into the ring.]

Charlie Watkins - Cyle Storm is all business tonight.

Terry Hogan - When is he not?

Anna Dea - And his opponent, 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."]

Terry Hogan - I wonder why he keeps saying that. He’s been on the downside of almost as many matches as Cage has in the past.

[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.]

Charlie Watkins - Just start the match already.

[The opening bell rings and Cyle Storm goes for a waist lock. Kevin Steele simply hits him with a punch to the forehead.]

Terry Hogan - Sometimes it’s not all that sound to rely solely on technical wrestling.

[Kevin Steele whips Storm into the ropes and hits him with a reverse elbow. He picks up Storm and hits him with a fallaway slam. He goes to pick up Storm again and Storm takes him down with a single leg. Storm turns Steele over into a leg wrench.]

Terry Hogan - I guess you would call that an Old School Leg Wrench.

[Steele reaches the ropes and Storm lets go of the hold. Storm arm drags Steele, but Steele rolls with it to his feet and delivers a sidekick to Storm’s head. Steele hooks Storm’s arms from behind and delivers a tiger suplex. He bridges into a pin, but only gets 2.]

Charlie Watkins - At this point, it’s all Steele.

[Steele throws Storm into the ropes and delivers a big foot to the face. He taunts Storm to get up, shoots himself into the ropes, and hits him with a clothesline and a legdrop in succession. He picks up Storm and delivers a big brainbuster.]

Charlie Watkins - He calls that combination Soul Destruction.

[Steele makes the pin…1…2…3!]

Anna Dea - The winner of this match…Kevin Steele!]

Charlie Watkins - Kevin Steele very impressive in a victory over "Old School" Cyle Storm. But I’m really looking forward to this next contest, Terry.

Terry Hogan - That’s right. Two newly crowned champions square off in what should be a tremendous contest.
 


"Luscious" Lawrence Rhodes vs. Jason "The Bandit" Blake
SWL Quasar Title Match



Anna Dea - The following contest is for the SWL Quasar Championship! Coming down the aisle is the challenger, accompanied by his manager, "Electric" Amy Sparks, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 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 runs to the ring, holding his belt in one hands and high-fiving as many fans as possible with the other. Amy walks casually, smiling at all the fans.]

Charlie Watkins - Jason Blake is the new Spotlight Champion, winning the title in one of the most breathtaking and violent matches of all time at Prevailing Justice.

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 haze lights the entrance as Rhodes appears with his hands on hips. He unclasps the Quasar Title from his waist and holds it high in the air. He gives a cheesy grin and enters the ring.]

Charlie Watkins - Two of the SWL’s premiere athletes square off in a champion vs. champion affair.

[The bell rings. Rhodes takes a big swing at Blake, but Blake ducks it and unloads with a series of rights and lefts. Blake comes off the ropes with a clothesline that staggers Rhodes, but doesn’t knock him down. He comes off the ropes again, but Rhodes catches him in a powerslam.]

Charlie Watkins - Rhodes with a big move.

[Rhodes lays several soccer kicks to the side of Blake and picks him up. He whips Blake into the ropes and goes for a tilt-o-whirl slam, but it is countered into a head scissors takeover. Rhodes gets up and Blake sends him back down again with a hurricanrana.]

Charlie Watkins - That’s what Blake needs to do. He’s in there with a man who has a big size and strength advantage.

Terry Hogan - It’s Blake. When is he not?

[Rhodes gets up dazed near the ropes. Blake charges him, but Rhodes sidesteps Blake and heaves him over the ropes to the outside. Blake lands on his feet and pulls the unsuspecting Rhodes out under the bottom rope. Blake gets on the apron and leaps off with a shoulder tackle. Rhodes catches Blake and rams his back into the ringpost. He slams Blake on the floor and rolls him back underneath the bottom rope.]

Terry Hogan - That’s one way to slow down Mr. Greased Lightning.

[Rhodes delivers a pendulum backbreaker to Blake and applies a camel clutch.]

Charlie Watkins - Rhodes appears to be focusing on the back of Blake.

[Blake reaches out and grabs the ropes. Rhodes holds the camel clutch until the count of 4 before releasing it. Rhodes reaches out to pick up Blake, but is armdragged through the ropes to the outside. Blake quickly gets up and leaps to the top rope. He flies off and delivers an awesome missile dropkick to Rhodes on the floor. He throws Rhodes into the ring and climbs to the apron. Blake springboards over the top rope with a senton splash.]

Charlie Watkins - Blake is picking up the pace here.

[Blake climbs to the top rope as Rhodes is getting to his feet. Blake attempts a flying body press, but is caught and hotshot off the tope rope by Rhodes. Rhodes signals to the crowd and applies a front facelock. He lifts Blake up in a suplex position and delivers a running powerslam.

Charlie Watkins - There it is! One For The Ladies!

[Rhodes makes the pin…1…2…3!]

Anna Dea - The winner of the match, and still SWL Quasar Champion, "Luscious" Lawrence Rhodes!

Charlie Watkins - So Rhodes retains his title against one of the best aerial wrestlers in the SWL. But now, it’s time for our main event. The former Quasar champion Vindicator takes on the former Spotlight champion Janus.
 


Vindicator vs. Janus



Anna Dea - The following contest is our main event, scheduled for one fall. Coming down the aisle, 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 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.]

Charlie Watkins - Both of these men endured grueling experiences in cages last week at Prevailing Justice.

Terry Hogan - What kind of shape do you think they’re in now?

[The opening bell rings and the two men trade forearms in the center of the ring. Janus gets the upper hand and forces the Vindicator into the corner. He delivers several knees into Vindicator’s midsection and whips him into the opposite corner. He charges in for a big shoulder thrust, but Vindicator pushes off the second turnbuckle and hooks Janus into a sunset flip. Janus kicks out at two.]

Terry Hogan - Janus almost beaten with a quick move there.

[Janus delivers a thumb to the eye to stun Vindicator and then hits him with two snap suplexes, holding on to the face lock after the first. Janus whips Vindicator into the ropes and delivers a big boot to the face. He comes off the ropes with an elbow drop and goes for a pin. Vindicator kicks out with authority, but remains on the mat.]

Charlie Watkins - Janus in control now.

[Janus picks up Vindicator and delivers a gut-wrench suplex. He ascends to the second turnbuckle and delivers a falling headbutt. He gets up and taunts the crowd, which reacts accordingly.]

Charlie Watkins - At this point in the match, it’s all Janus.

[Janus finally goes for a pin and Vindicator kicks out at one. Vindicator springs quickly to his feet before Janus and hits him with a swinging neckbreaker.]

Charlie Watkins - Vindicator was playing possum

Terry Hogan - I doubt it; I think Janus just took too much time.

[Vindicator picks up Janus and executes a gut-buster. As Janus is down, Vindicator applies an Indian Deathlock. Janus fights the pain and pressure until he can turn Vindicator over. Vindicator releases the hold.]

Charlie Watkins - Janus’ leg has to be in bad shape after that, Terry.

[Janus gets up, limping. He holds onto the ropes for support. Vindicator charges him, but Janus pulls down the tope rope and Vindicator sails to the outside.]

Terry Hogan - Amazing presence of mind displayed by Janus.

[Janus steps through the ropes to the apron. He delivers a flying axehandle to Vindicator on the floor. He military presses Vindicator and tosses him in over the top rope. He climbs to the apron and readies himself. As Vindicator stands, Vindicator springboards over the top rope, barely clearing it, and clotheslines Vindicator.]

Charlie Watkins - Wow!

Terry Hogan - Where did that come from, Charlie? Amazing agility for a big man!

[Janus pins Vindicator…1…2…Vindicator kicks out at the last second. The crowd gives a big ‘ooooh’. Janus signals that it’s time for The End. He applies the front facelock and lifts up Vindicator, but Vindicator shifts his weight and goes over top of Janus. Janus spins around and receives a kick to the midsection, followed by a arm wrench into a face buster.]

Terry Hogan - Was that the Rocker Dropper, Charlie?

Charlie Watkins - Vindicator proving he’s a patron of the classics.

Terry Hogan - I still think he could have picked a better classic move than THAT.

[Vindicator sets Janus up on the top turnbuckle and climbs up behind him. He delivers a HUGE superplex off the top rope.]

Charlie Watkins - HARSH JUSTICE! IT’S ALL OVER!

[Vindicator makes the pin…1…2…3!]

Anna Dea - Here is your winner, Vindicator!

Charlie Watkins - And the Vindicator picks up an impressive win over Wrecking Crew member Janus. Until next week, ladies and gentlemen, Keep Reaching for them Stars.
