Slugfest '99
Live from the Providence Civic Center in Providence, Rhode Island


Marty: Well after that first promo I'm a bit speechless. But not nearly enough, because. We're there. The main event. This is the match the BEW has been waiting for. Craig, let's do it

Craig Conners: BEW fans around the world the time is here and the time is now. This is, the maiiinnnnn eveeeeennnnttt! It is, needless to say, for the coveted BEW World Heavyweight championship and is a one fall Heaven's Gate matchup. Three men enter this ring, anything goes inside, and they must battle their way to the scaffold above, the man who gets the gold in his grasp, will wear that same belt proudly. Introducing the first participant in this matchup.

The lights dim as a symphony of violins begins to play. Boos come pouring down.

Craig Conners: Coming to the ring at this time. Known world wide as one of the most notorious wrestlers in the buisness. Standing in at a monsterous 7 feet tall and weighing in at 325 pounds. Accompanied to the ring by head of security Mikey Firewater, and the president of the B-E-W, Micheal Merrix, I give you UUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDEEEEEEEEERRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOORRRRRRRDDDD!!!

Three men walk out. Mikey Firewater in front, then President Merrix, then Underlord. Once they get to ring side, Merrix whispers something into Underlord's ear. Underlord nods his head and gets into the cage. Mikey sits down in a folding chair off to the side smirking. Suddenly a short man wearing a Fed-Ex uniform comes from out of the crowd. He climbs over the railing and he walks up to the ring. He just barely rolls under the bottom rope. Underlord doesn't really know what to think of this and continues to try and keep his focus on the entranceway. The man walks up to Underlord and gives him the envelope.

Marty: That Fed-Ex worker, if he really is a Fed-Ex worker, just gave Underlord a memo and is now walking away from him.

Kevin: I respect the Underlord. We almost got into a matchup, only to have it canceled. But I'll admit, I'll die laughing if that thing blows up in his face.

Underlord opens up the envelope and reads the message. He gets a very angry look of embrassment as he reads it. He crumples up the letter and throws it out of the cage hitting the Fed-Ex guy in the head. He then charges toward the Fed-Ex guy making him run away into the crowd.

Elisha: That must have been some very bad news. Let's get a camera over there and see what that letter had to say.

The cameraman walks over toward where Underlord threw the letter. He picks it up opens it and puts it in front of the camera. It reads:

To: Underlord

From: President "asshole" Merrix

Subject:The Meeting Last Night

Thank you for the wonderful time last night. You were a real animal on that table! I didn't know that someone of your height could move into those positions. Don't worry about Virus, after the spanking you gave me last night, I will do everything in my power to make sure you win this match. Your last payment was great and don't worry about staying at my office extra late last night. I will make sure there is a large bonus in your oven. Your title shot should be happening at this moment as we planned. You were great last night. I hope this clears everything up! Good luck Chump.

Signed,

BEW Idiot and President Michael "asshole" Merrix

Kevin: Gee that's a clever plot by Virus. The king of paper champs. A bit immature but whatever he's into I guess.

Doug: I thought it was a good idea, throw Underlord off his game a bit.

Marty: We'll have to wait and see.

Craig Conners: The second man is a man that needs no introduction. Whether he ever chooses to admit it or accept it, he is a living legend and has the credentials to back it up. He is the first ever BEW Pacific champion, and never lost that title. Coming to the ring with Misery, Tybalt, and his lovely wife Sidney. I give you Shawn Twwwwwwiiiiilllliiigggghhhhttttt!

"Not For You" by Pearl Jam replaces the sounds of violins and the fans continue to boo. This time though, several stand and cheer for their champion. Shawn arrives on the scene with a cocky grin on his face. He confidently walks to the ringside area. Glancing at President Merrix and Mikey before his entourage circles the ring and takes their place. Shawn enters the ring and waits.

Craig Conners: And the final man in this colossal matchup. He is the BEW's first and current World Heavyweight Champion. Also your BEW Comissioner of Justice. He is without a doubt a contender. He is the huge, the menacing, the undefeated...the 7 foot giant. He weighs in at 328 pounds and is acompanied to the ring by his manager Venus and The Punisher. He is VIRUSSSS!

Who Made Who" by AC/DC can be heard and boos turn to cheers as Virus comes from behind the curtain as pyrotechnics go off behind him. He stares down the ramp at his waiting opponents. Virus slowly makes his way from behind the curtains and the fans stand as they cheer for their champion. The Punisher is slowly walking behind him keeping an eye on his surroundings cutting through Underlord and Shawn Twilight with his eyes. Venus is at his side. Virus' trademark weapon "The Hammer" is on his belt buckle as usual. At ringside he takes off his sunglasses and trenchcoat, and gets into the ring looking more pumped and determined then ever. The usual jeans and T-Shirt on, not to mention the steel toed boots. Referee Greg Eskridge, not drawing attention to himself, loks on intently.

Elisha: Well guys this is it. There's the bell and that door is locked. We have a large assortment of people out here in various corners. Virus is waiting in the corner, the Hammer in hand. The Underlord is coming out to meet him.

Doug: Shawn has gone into one of those garbage cans and has himself a chair, Virus charges and floors Underlord with the Hammer! Shawn in and nails him over the head with a chair!

Kevin: Underlord rolling around on the mat and Virus locks eyes with Shawn, a swing with the Hammer deflected by Twilight and Shawn throws a right hook to the jaw and follows up by tripping Virus to the mat.

Marty: Shawn holds the chair over his head and slams it down onto Virus. Again! And the Underlord tackles him to the mat from behind!

The Underlord starts to rub Shawn's face into the mat before slapping him in the back of the head. He goes into one of the garbages cans and pulls out a telescope. He cracks it over the back of Twilight causing Shawn to yell in pain. Underlord drives it into the back of his neck and slaps on a front facelock. Only to get smashed across the face with a garbage lid from Virus.

Marty: Ouch! The champ lays into the ribs of Underlord with those steel toed boots! And lifts him off the mat and slams him headfirst into the side of the cage! These fans are in his corner, sometimes we see a mixed crowd.

Kevin: The World chumpion slaps on an anklelock and there's no ref to stop him, Underlord looks to be cut above the eye.

Doug: Neither of these guys see Shawn taking his time in the corner?

Elisha: With all the crap Mr. Merrix has pulled involving these two Shawn's the odd man out. Virus lets up on the ankle lock at last and drops an elbow.

As Virus hits the elbow to the downed Underlord, Twilight begins setting up one of the ladders underneath the trap door. As he starts to climb Virus rakes his back and pulls him off, hitting a reverse DDT. He walks to the side to get the Hammer in his clutches and looks down on Twilight as he prepares to strike him with it. Out of nowhere Underlord comes in with a forearm to the back of Virus' head, sending him facefirst into the cage which bounces off the side of the cage and slingshots back into Virus for a second shot.

Kevin: Interesting, Virus got nailed twice by the ladder and now he's laying out on the canvas. Underlord has the Hammer and slams it hard over his lowerback, and drives it into his spine!

Marty: Shawn with a punch to the lowerback and kicks the knee out from underneath Underlord, he leapfrogs over and dropkicks the kneeling Underlord in the face! Shawn turns and nails a falling fist to the back of Virus' head and now he's getting that ladder for a second time.

Doug: Good thinking. The belt is still high above. That's the thing I'd be after, not these two giants beating each other senseless.

Shawn gets the ladder setup and climbs up, he reaches the trap door and starts to open it, Virus comes to, as does the Underlord just after him, Virus climbs up after Shawn and pulls him back down as he gets halfway through the trap door. Underlord grabs a computer keyboard from amongst the weapons scattered out of a fallen garbage can. Virus starts to pound away on Twilight and tosses his smaller foe off the ladder and to the mat with a crash. Underlord smashes him with the keyboard before going up the ladder after Virus.

Elisha: And Virus is on top of the cage getting the ladder for the scaffold ready. Underlord emerges from the trap door and Virus charges at him, and Underlord cracks him in the knee with the edge of the keyboard, knocking him back.

Kevin: The cut on Underlord's face getting really bad. That's one thing you try to avoid in a match, but it's something that more then likely happens. The trick is to adapt to fighting with maybe one eye. Or avoiding the semi-blindness.

Doug: Underlord on both feet now and he swings at Virus, the big man ducks and comes up with an uppercut sending the keyboard flying. Shawn is on his feet and he's coming starting up the ladder, but not before arming himself with what looks to be a microwave oven.

Marty: Virus grabs one of those barbed wire wrapped chairs! Oh no he smacks Underlord across the chest cutting him up! Now a shot to the top of the head and we have blood all over! Underlord stumbling around and Virus clotheslines him to the top of the cage hard.

Kevin: Shawn is through the trap door and he opens the microwave oven's door. He's sneaking up behind Virus who's putting the boots to the bloodied Underlord. And he jumps up, and slams the microwave onto Virus's head!

Doug: Virus can't see anything as his head is stuck in the microwave! Ha ha ha ha! Twilight with a chair and he puts it across one side of the microwave and Virus stumbles off to the side onto one knee, and Twilight hits the other side! Virus falls back and right onto another one of those barbed wire wrapped chairs!

Elisha: That oven is banged up pretty bad and Virus' hands are sliced up too for that matter. Underlord to his feet and he applies a headlock on Twilight, and a massive bulldog onto the top of that chain link cage!

Underlord starts to work on the knee of Twilight before returning his attention to Virus. He stalks over to the champ and removes the microwave over from his head, Virus not wounded on the face or head, looks a bit dizzy as he holds the side of his head. Underlord body slams him onto the barbed wire wrapped chair and drops a leg. Virus squirms in pain as Underlord starts to move him over the chair.

Kevin: Shit this is gruesome.

Marty: Please watch your language Kevin. We have children watching.

Kevin: Sorry Marty. But one question. If there's kids watching this, then what's the big deal about cursing? Afterall look at this fight they're seeing. You don't want this site repeated at playgrounds across America.

Elisha: Underlord has Virus up he brings him to one of those tables! Those tables folks have been covered with mines and look at the blood coming off the body of Virus! It's literally dripping down to the mat below!

Doug: Underlord looks to the crowd and they are on their feet. Underlord puts his hand around the throat of Virus, he lifts the big man up, and puts him down and through that table with a chokeslam!

As Virus hits the table, the mines explode and Virus screams out as sparks fly, after crashing through the table the carnage continues as Virus and the table wreckage crash through the top of the cage to the ring below. The fans are in awe and remain silent as cameras blind the viewers at home temporarily.

Marty: Oh my god! That is truly one of the most lasting images in BEW history! Virus is out Virus is out Virus is out!

Elisha: President Merrix clapping and looking at Mikey Firewater with a smile. Shawn Twilight is waiting for Underlord to turn around and he does. Shawn with a dropkick and he staggers Underlord!

Doug: He's teetering on the edge! Shawn goes for another dropkick and Underlord throws him to the side! He has his balance back and he locks up with Shawn, they're trying to get the advantage and they better watch where they step!

Shawn steps through the hole in the top of the cage and falls through and the Underlord follows, they crash to the mat just missing Virus, catching some table wreckage on the way down. Underlord falls on his shoulder, Shawn on his back, the lower part of Underlord's body crashing down on the upper body of Twilight. Causing him to be crushed. The fans remain silent. Referee Eskridge immediatly gets down to check on the condition of both Underlord and Virus. Stopping to glance at Shawn.

Kevin:Double A better not call this match. Underlord and Shawn are out, and Virus is moving! He's been down and out for awhile now and I guess he's coming to. He's on one knee and these fans are going ballistic! He looks to the hold above his head and smiles.

Elisha: Virus is on both feet and he's walking very slowly around the ring. Looking the blood stain in the mat where he was lying for so many minutes. His body is cut open very badly.

Marty: He has one of those garbage cans in hand and he puts it into the chest of the fallen Underlord. He lays it across his chest and he runs to the ropes, and down with a back body splash!

Virus picks the dented can up, and stands it upright as best he can. He sits Underlord up and plops the can over his head. He looks to the crowd and points to the Hammer. He takes it hand and raises it into the air. He points to the sky and starts to beat the side of the garbage can with it.

Doug: Getting a little payback for the microwave eh Virus?

Elisha: Virus drops the Hammer and he goes into the last of the garbage cans, this one hasn't been touched. He has a fishtank!

Marty: Amazingly enough Shawn Twilight is getting to his feet. Unfortunately for him Virus sees him and now he's walking towards him. Virus goes to hit him with the tank, but Shawn grabs it as it's about to crash over his head!

After catching the edges of the tank with his hands at the last second, Shawn takes the oppotunity to overpower the shocked Virus and takes the fish tank out of his hands. He slams it over the head of the World champ sending glass all over the ring. Virus drops to one knee, his face now a bloody mess. Shawn slaps him across the cheek and goes for the ladder. He climbs and Underlord leans up. He removes the garbage can from his head and looks at the fallen Virus. Then to Shawn, and decides where to go.

Kevin: Underlord up on that ladder, bloody and tired and he's almost to the top. Shawn has that other ladder setup already. He's climbing that one and Underlord brandishes one of those handy barbed wire chairs. And Shawn's back meets the barbed wire!

Doug: Guess he's been initiated into the club. All three men bloodied. Shawn wearily coming down from the ladder and Underlord has a handful of his hair in one hand. And a chair in the other.

Marty: I don't like the look of this as Underlord lays the chair out, he locks Shawn in. DDT onto the chair!

Virus is below and on his feet holding the top of his head. Underlord turns from choking Shawn, and grabs ahold of one of the mine covered tables. He drags it and tosses it down through the hole in the top of the cage. Just barely it misses Virus. As if awakened by the falling of the table, Virus looks up with a blood covered face, to Underlord. He takes the Hammer on his way to the ladder. Underlord grabs up a chair and waits, Shawn pops up and takes the advantage to execute an atomic drop on the larger Underlord.

Elisha: Underlord laid out and Virus is on top of the cage, he whacks Shawn across the side with the Hammer! Shawn curls up and grimmaces and Virus punches him in the face!

Kevin: Virus didn't enjoy the fishtank and the microwave. This has to be the bloodiest match I have ever seen. And I've seen alot, and experienced bloodshed.

Doug: Okay Mr. Hero. This isn't your show. Virus applies a Boston Crab on Shawn and is working on the lowerback. Shawn can't submit. There's only one way to win this match remember.

Virus holds the move for another minute before releasing. He walks over to the Underlord, and gets a lowblow. Virus leans forward and gets hit with a jawbreaker. Underlord gets to both feet and takes a second to knee Shawn in the ribs to knock him back down. Underlord picks Virus up and hits a German Suplex which he follows with a backbreaker.

Marty: The champ is in trouble fans. How much more can he take? How much more can any of these men take? Underlord is stalking his way over to Shawn Twilight, Shawn on one knee collecting his thoughts, wiping blood from his eyes. And Underlord brings him to his feet. A lockup. Underlord with a wristlock, Shawn reverses into one of his own. Now let's got and a poke to the eye!

Elisha: Shawn knows the shortcuts and now hitting Underlord with lefts and rights. Shawn locks him in, and puts Underlord through one of those tables with a suplex!

Kevin: Jesus that was a sickening sound as Underlord's back was blown up. Shawn falls to one knee. He's exhausted after this phenomenal match. Virus sits up!

Doug: Virus on both feet and Shawn turns to meet him eye to eye! Look at this staredown! This is a legendary BEW moment!

The fans cheer on as Virus and Shawn Twilight stand for moments, staring at each other. Finally they go into a collar and elbow tieup. The bigger Virus gets a sleeperhold on, and Shawn drops down causing the top of his head to smash into the bottom of Virus' jaw. Shawn gets up fast and turns on his heel. With a cocky grin he lifts Virus up and puts him back down with a step over toe hold. Underlord comes out of nowhere with a chair and drives the edge into Shawn's lowerback.

Marty: And the Underlord is back up! He nails Shawn again and put him down stomach first. Underlord sidewalk slams the chair onto Shawn! God Shawn is hurting right now. Underlord turns to the fallen Virus and now he's spotted the Hammer which was dropped some time ago.

Elisha: And Underlord has Virus' trademark weapon. He turns Virus over onto his back and he puts it across his throat! Underlord yelling into his face and Virus kicking for air! Underlord gets up and throws the Hammer off the top of the cage and spits on Virus. Now reaching down, he helps the groggy Virus to his feet.

Underlord brings Virus to the only remaining table on the top of the cage. He nods to the crowd and they boo as they foresee Pure Evil, and the end of their champion. Just as he begins the move, Virus suddenly pokes Underlord in the eye and knees him in the groin. He quickly throws Underlord's head between his legs and executes the Infection through the last table, it explodes into pieces and so does Underlord's back as blood and flesh splatter all over. Virus falls back and sits for a few seconds. Shawn is standing and waiting right behind him.

Doug: Shawn is waiting and Underlord is out like a light! Virus sits up and turns to the ladder, he caught Shawn in the corner of his eye and he stares down at him and shakes his head.

Kevin: Never count Shawn out. No matter how much you hate him.

Marty: Virus walks over and Shawn charges with a crossbody! He floors Virus who bounces back up and Shawn goes for another crossbody, and is caught in the arms of the big Virus! And a stomachbreaker by the World champ! Virus leaves Shawn curled up and picks the fallen ladder up. He's looking to the scaffold and he's climbing!

Elisha: Virus is halfway up and Shawn is crawling to the ladder. He's on and now he's climbing as fast as he can!

Doug: Virus stopped! The loss of blood is taking a toll on him I can see it. He better be careful he doesn't blackout on the ladder and fall off!

Marty: Shawn is climbing ever so slowly and Virus is continuing on. He's up on the scaffold!

Virus stands on the scaffold and looks out over the arena. Shawn jumps up and tackles him and they fly off to one side, almost falling causing the fans to "Ohhhhhhh", several turn away. Shawn lays in with fists and quickly brings Virus to an upright position. Virus blocks a right hand and knees Shawn in the gut and rakes his face, to tired to do anything else. Virus tries to follow up with a clothesline, Shawn ducks under, Virus turns back and gets kicked in the gut and leans forward. Shawn locks him in and puts him down with the Hero's Suplex. Cameras everywhere go off and the fans cheer at the legendary move. Shawn holds it in for a few moments and gets up, Virus almost rolls off the scaffold and Shawn retrieves the belt.

DING DING DING DING DING DING DING

Craig Conners: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner, and NEW BEW World Heavyweight Champion! Shawn Twiiiilight!

Shawn clutches the belt and looks at it. The fans stand and cheer him for a change after the amazing matchup. Ref Eskridge opens the cage door and Tybalt and Misery hit the ring and scale up to the top of the cage to meet Shawn. "Not For You" filling the arena as they each raise his hand high in the air. They get down into the cage where Sidney waits. She gives him a kiss. An exhausted Virus comes down with some aid from ring officials and walks to Venus and the Punisher and stands at ringside. Fans nearby cheering him. After they slowly depart up the aisle. The Underlord, who had been out with President Merrix and Mikey, gets into the ring and stands across from Shawn, who's being held up by Misery and Tybalt. Suddenly Mikey clips the knee of the Underlord and lays into him with boots, and finally the stungun from his belt. Mikey lifts the beaten and bloodied Underlord up off the mat and executes the Firewater Facebuster.

Mike-BEW President Micheal Merrix: Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to my World champion. Shawn Twilight!

You see Venerial Disease. You complete and utter moron. You were fooled all along into believing I cared for this stupid task force. Or the Underlord, or Thug Immortal, or even Vengeance. They were all pawns in the greater picture. You were so busy with your schoolyard jokes and bullshit. That you couldn't even tell Shawn would be coming to dethrone you. He's earned the shit more so then anybody. And now he has what he wants. What do I have? Just the knowledge I duped you for weeks and weeks. And you call yourself a champion.

You're pathetic.

Maybe now you've learned. You can't win if you want to fight me. That's what you did. You talked like a bigshot from day one. About how this was your fed, and how you could do what you want. You started this, not me. Now you've paid the price, yes indeed, and I can go back to my offices and laugh everyday about it.

Now you Mr. Firewater. You're the one guy I respect. You've done your part. But you are no longer needed. You didn't know about this little plan of mine, but that's just the way it is. Thank you.

President Merrix extends his hand and Mikey shrugs, he goes to shake it, but instead punches his boss and lays him out with the Firewater Facebuster. He puts the boots to him for a few moments and leaves quickly through the crowd, not even looking back. Tybalt checks on President Merrix as some medical officials come and assist him out. As this happens, Jon Clark comes out to congratulate Shawn. He gets into the cage and just as suddenly, Jamie Williams hops the railing. He pummels Clark from behind as he goes to shake Shawn's hand and Misery joins in, as does Tybalt. The three beat Clark out of the cage and up the aisle. The fans cheering at the action as security comes and breaks it up. The lights suddenly begin to flicker and die. There is a silent murmur heard in the crowd. The announcers can be heard in the darkness

Elisha: Well fans we don't know what happened here. Maybe a fuse or something. We're working on the problem righ...

Suddenly a pale spotlight shoots down from the rafters to shine upon Shawn and Sidney in the cage. Wide in diameter at first it soon begins to shrink and form around Shawn, who looks blinkingly up at the spotlight, smiling to himself.

Doug: Well, we don't know what this is all about, but I'm sure President Merrix doesn't appreciate his events coming to a hault like this, wherever he is in the back getting some firstaid...

Doug is suddenly cut off as the an eerie chant starts up. Low and on the same continuous level. Then, again, suddenly another spotlight erupts in the rafters and begins to sweep around the arena. Brighter then the spotlight that fell upon Twilight it starts to move up towards the rafters. Looking, searching, it finally finds the Shadow

Marty: Hey...isn't that that Crimson person?

No sooner do the words leave Marty's mouth then she recieves an answer from up in the rafters

Miss Crimson: Hello Shawn...it's good to see you face to face once again. Oh my little boy how you've grown. So big, tall, and strong, but still not all you can be. Look at you now for instance...you're having trouble just finishing off these no names. And, still you insist on lying to yourself...to your "family"? Tisk, tisk, Shawn you still have a long way to go. Still so much more to learn. So many fears to overcome...So many bullies to face down...

Suddenly the lights come flashing back on. The two in the ring take a blinking step backwards, and it is then that everyone realizes 5 members of the M.o.A have snuck into the cage and padlocked the door behind them
