MONDAY NIGHT RAGE
FEB. 5TH, 2001
[I wonder how many people really read this whole thing, but for those who do.. we're at some arena, and well, do we care which one? :) )
Keith Gleason: Welcome everyone to Monday Night Rage!! We have Three Title matches tonight!! The Hardcore and Internet Championships are on the line, as well as the W4F WORLD Title!
Robert Wayland: That's right. Troy Martin made a surprising return at Gold Rush as the referee and by some weird occurrence, left that night... RETAINING the title!
Keith: Back in 1999 when the W4F was first around, Troy Martin defeated The Man to become the W4F World Champion at Royal Rampage. He was never defeated and by all official records, he is now into 18 months as the W4F Champion!
Robert: I don't know if we can legitimize an 18 month reign, he held it for three weeks before the W4F merged with the PWA, and now he's had in another week since his return.
Keith: It's an odd situation, and one to be worked out over time! But enough chatting, let's get to our first match up, as Chase Wilson, the new Hardcore champion, defends against Deadline!
Robert: Well, it was supposed to be KWB, but with the special rules the Hardcore title has.. over this last week, the title changed hands from KWB to Chase to Smokey and back to Chase.. leaving Chase having to defend the title tonight, and then later on he is in tag team action with Chad Turner against The Brothers Grimm! Also, the new rulings by Sommers says to get the World Title Shot, you have to Successfully DEFEND the title on a Televised Program. So, if Chase wins against Deadline, Chase could find himself in a world title situation!
Keith: I said enough chatting, let's get to the ring!
Robert: sorry...
Keith: SHHHHHHHHHHHHH
W4F HaRdCoRe Championship
Chase Wilson
(c) -versus- DeadlineRecap: Violent match with Chase dominating early by using a trash can full of weapons. Chase had Deadline down and set up a chair on one of his legs. Chase went to smash Deadline's leg, but he was able to escape and then Deadline took control. Deadline set up the trash can and powerbombed Chase right onto it. Deadline went for the pin but only got two. The two fell out of the ring, and Deadline slammed Chase against the steel steps. Chase then elbowed Deadline back and drop kicked him over the Side Railing.
The two men collided right in the middle of the fans, who cheer the massive destruction the two men make of the stadium as they fight into the back. Deadline slams Chase into a set of tables, before Chase back bodydrops Deadline onto some steel pipes. As Deadline stumbles up, Chase slams a chair to the back of his head and covers for the 1-2-3!
Winner: Chase Wilson
Keith: Chase won!!!
[As Chase gets up, shaking his head in pain, KWB races around the corner with another referee and slams into Chase with a trash can lid. KWB covers Chase Wilson for the 1-2-3! KWB then races off before anyone can do a thing!]
Winner: KWB (New Hardcore Champion)
Robert: Umm, was that legal????

Keith: I don't think Ty Copas is going to do anything of the sort!
[Troy has the move in perfectly, and Ty is in great pain.
