Live from the sold-out Simmons Bank Arena in Little Rock, Arkansas
Monday Night February 1st, 2021
8:00pm EST
[ The shows opens with the Titantron showing the Empires new promo video package with all the new stars of the Empire like Alexander Stone, the Lynch Mob, the Zombie Bride Su Yim and many, many more with their high risk, high impact moves to the music of "Warriors" by Imagine Dragons blasting across the arena in unison with the pyrotechnics lighting the place up. The entire arena erupts in a chorus of cheers as the show comes on air. The music and pyro's stop as the cameras fade down to our broadcast table as “Crazy Man” Mike Thompson and “The Messiah” Chris Simmons are standing by. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Good evening folks and welcome to another amazing night of action right here in the World Wrestling Empire!! I am Mike Thompson and this old bastard next to me is Chris Simmons.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Evening folks!! Mike what a huge card we have tonight ahead of us as both of the semi-final matches in the World Heavyweight title tournament will headline the show.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Man I can’t wait!! Alexander Stone comes off a hell of a win against Kahagas last week to walk into the ring tonight against the big Russian Boris Drago.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – That’s right. Stone has been very impressive along the way in this tournament, but Boris has been a little less impressive as he has helped a little help along the way getting in the middle of this STIXX Tito Escobar feud.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Turning our attention to Bracket A, we have the Mexican sensation Caristico taking on the Irish Ass Kicker Arik Cannon. Your thoughts on this big match?
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Oh boy, what a huge difference in styles in this match. You’ve got the heavy hitter in Cannon taking on the more, high flyer in Caristico. It should be fantastic.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – If you could pick the perfect ppv match for the World title, which two men would it be?
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Tough call buddy. I’m going to go with Stone in bracket B because I just think he’s the best in the game today. In bracket A, that’s a toss-up. Both men would be awesome representatives in the World title finals.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Come-on buddy, pick one.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Fuck it, I’ll go with Caristico.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – There you go. I knew you could do it!!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – What about you? Who do you pick?
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – I’m not saying. I’m not going to make a fool of myself on camera.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – You fucker.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Folks, in other action tonight we have three big qualifying matches with the winners moving on to the ppv to do battle for the newly minted United States title.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Yeah, three huge triple threat matches with the winners of each match moving on to the ppv in what I am hearing is going to be a triple threat ladder match.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – DDP is really building an amazing ppv as we inch ever closer!! In other action tonight we are going to see the return of the Lynch Mob taking on Los Vipers. The Hooligan’s will be in action taking on the Blood Carnival.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Two great tag team matches, but that’s not all. The women will be in action tonight as Christina Darling takes on Maria Manic and in another match Gabby Jettson clashes with Shanna Furguson.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – These bitches are tough!! Let’s get right to the action as the women kick things off tonight!!
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall and it is a first-round match in the Women’s World title tournament! Making her way to the ring, weighing in at 122 lbs., “Foxy Lady” Christina Darling!!!
[ The crowd erupts as “Feel the Sting” by Kenny & Harley Wootton rocks the arena and Christina struts out in her fox wrestling gear with her fox tail bobbing back and forth. Full of smiles, she struts down to the ring high fiving all her fans on both sides of the ramp. She rolls under the bottom rope and poses on the second turnbuckle as pyro explodes around her. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Christina Darling, the self-proclaimed “Darling of the Empire”, stumbled in the first round of the tournament. She has a tough draw tonight if she’s going to pick up a win.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – She’s one of the smallest women in the division at five foot three and just a hair over a hundred and twenty pounds. She’s giving up almost a half a foot and forty pounds to Manic tonight. She’s playing in a land of giant women.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And her opponent, making her way to the ring weighing in at 161 lbs., “The Maneater” Maria Manic!
[ A mix of boos and cheers erupt as “Unbreakable” by Michael Elgin plays as Maria storms down to the ring, pissed off still that her car was trashed last week by Shanna Furguson. Keeping her eyes on Christina the entire time, she marches up the ring steps and climbs into the ring.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Man she looks fucking pissed. I would hate to be Christina tonight. It looks like Maria wants to dish out some pain.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – All she can hope for is that Maria lets her anger get the best of her and she does something stupid.
[ The bell rings and Maria immediately charges at Christina, looking to end this as quick as she can. However, Christina is quick on her feet and literally slides under Maria, in between her legs. Maria is going way too fast to stop herself and collides with the turnbuckles. Christina rushes at Maria and hits her with a drop kick from behind. Maria feels her back as if it was nothing more than a slight irritation before turning to face Christina. Christina proceeds to hit Maria with another drop kick, but it still doesn’t hurt Maria. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – I’m not sure what it’s going to take Maria down, but Christina better figure it out fast.
[ Christina looks at Maria for a few seconds before running the ropes and hitting her with a forceful drop kick. Maria begins to stagger, slightly. Christina, realizing this is working, decides to hit the ropes again and jumps up to hit Maria with another drop kick. However, this time Maria grabs Christina by the feet and literally spins her round 360 degrees before letting go sending Christina tumbling under the bottom rope and out of the ring. The crowd cringes as Christina hits the floor hard. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – She went to the well too many times, and Maria swatted her away like a fly.
[ Christina begins to stir, shocked at what has just occurred. Christina gets up to her feet holding her lower back before looking back up at Maria, who is waiting for her eagerly in the ring motioning for Christina to get her ass back in the ring. She takes her time as she gets up onto the apron and re-enters the ring. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Walk away now while you still can …walk that is.
[ Christina has a burst of energy as she runs at Maria and begins to hit her with sharp kicks to Maria’s thigh. Maria, almost as if she’s getting annoyed with Christina, shoves her away making Christina fall backwards and roll back onto her feet. Christina wastes no time at running at Maria, but this time she is greeted by a mean clothesline that takes her to the mat with force. Christina rolls around in pain, now holding the back of her head. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Fuck me this is starting to get ugly.
[ Maria grabs Christina by the hair and pulls her up to her feet hitting her with a stiff slap across the face. Not letting go of her hair, she hits Christina with another stiff slap, the sound of which can be heard all around the arena. Christina is holding onto Maria to keep herself up from falling down. Maria, noticing this, laughs at Christina before shoving her to the ground. Maria raises her arm up, taunting the crowd who boo the hell out of her. Christina is on her hands and knees as Maria runs at her and shatters her with a kick to the side of her ribs. Christina rolls to the turnbuckle and rests on the bottom one holding her battered ribs. Maria is not in the mood to give Christina a rest and runs at her and bulldozes her with a running hip attack to the face that could have shattered Christina’s neck. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Holy shit, Maria is picking Christina apart!!
[ Maria drags Christina by her feet to the middle of the ring and covers her …1 …2 …and Christina finds the strength to kick out!! ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Let me give Christina a little bit of advice …stay the fuck down!!!
[ Maria can’t believe it as she looks at the referee slapping her hands screaming at him to count faster. Maria shakes her head in disagreement as she gets back up to her feet and drags Christina up to hers. Maria picks Christina up and throws her up and over her head before dropping her with a fast and powerful Samoan drop. Maria then rolls Christina up for the covers …1 …2 …2 ½ …and the crowd go absolutely wild as Christina somehow, someway kicks out again!!! ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – You have to give this little fireball some credit. She’s got some stamina.
[ Maria screams in a rage as she gets up to her feet and backs the referee into the corner turnbuckle and begins to scream at him. Christina begins to stir and with a burst of energy Maria charges at Christina booting her in the face, knocking her out cold. Maria drags Christina to her feet, lifts her up and BLAM; she drives Christina into the mat with the Maneater (a fireman’s carry into a swinging neck-breaker)!!! Maria then ushers the referee over as she drops down for the cover …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And the winner of this match, “The Maneater” Maria Manic!!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – What a statement match for Maria Manic tonight!! She utterly decimated Christina Darling as she takes one step closer to Crossfire and her grudge match with Shanna Furguson.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – When these two women collide at the PPV it’s going to be explosive. Neither woman is going to walk out of the ppv the same.
[ The show flashes to the backstage area where we see Cindy Meyers standing outside the dressing-room of Alexander Stone. ]
Cindy Meyers – Guys, during the match; we were told that Amber Nova went into Alexander Stones dressing room. We have yet to learn why, but as soon as she…
[ The door opens and “The Perfect 10” Amber Nova walks out of the dressing-room with a smile on her face closing the door behind her. ]
Cindy Meyers – Amber!!! Amber, why were you in Alexander Stone’s dressing room? What were you talking about?
[ Amber stops, smiles; and turns to face Cindy. ]
“The Perfect 10” Amber Nova – And why do you feel I owe you an answer? Is it because you want the big scoop? Or is it maybe that you want to impress the bosses up in their towers looking down on us? No little girl, I don’t owe you a damn thing. Not tonight at least. When the time is right, you and the whole world will know what Alexander and I were talking about. Until then, fuck off.
[ Cindy is stunned as Amber walks away laughing at her. The camera pans back to the announcers table. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Amber Nova is hot as fuck, but what she just did to Cindy was so rude.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – I hope she gets hers at the ppv. I’m not a huge fan of Havok, but someone has to put Nova in her place.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Putting that aside, let’s talk about our next big tag team match. It features Los Vipers taking on the Lynch Mob.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Huge match for both of these teams that each experienced first round loss in the World Tag Team title tournament. Los Vipers have also recently been seen in talks with that snake Tito Escobar. Hopefully Escobar hasn’t sunk his claws into these two kids.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following tag team match is set for one fall. Making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 388 lbs., Los Vipers!!!
[ The crowd goes nuts as “Realeza” by Jim Johnston blares across the arena as the Mexican sensations Santos and Pedro Supremo of Los Vipers make their way out onto the stage. The walk down the rampway high fiving all their fans before diving into the ring under the bottom rope eyeing their opponents.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – The Vipers lost a hard-fought match against the Chain Gang, even though Salena did have a hand or two in it.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – It won’t get any easier tonight as they go up against another tough as nails team in the Lynch Mob.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And their opponents, weighing in at a combined weight of 433 lbs., “The Lynch Mob” Joey and Matt Lynch!!
[ A mixture of cheers and boos ring out as “War” by Lynch Mob explodes across the stadium as the two brawling brothers march out on stage. They glare down at the ring at their opponents, high five each other and race down to the ring diving under the bottom ropes. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – The Lynch Mob also took a tough loss off the chin back in week one of the World Tag Team title tournament when they fell to the Golden BoyZ.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – As a tough of a loss as it was, the Golden BoyZ did make it to the ppv so they were not the only team to get beat by them.
[ As the bell sounds Colt Cabana and the Blue Meanie of Los Vipers go over strategy. Matt and R-Truth representing the Lynch Mob are looking eager to get things going when from the back “Relentless” Tito Escobar walks out on stage to the boos of the sold out crowd. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – What the hell is he doing out here?
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – He’s just watching from the top of the ramp, so maybe it’s nothing after all.
[ Joey Lynch starts things off by hitting both Santos and Pedro Supremo with running clotheslines knocking Pedro Supremo off the ring apron and to the floor. Joey grabs a stunned Santos and takes him over into a headlock takedown. Joey wrenches the head of Santos, but Santos, ever the veteran, works his way up to his feet and then rolls Joey backwards into a small package for the win …1 …2 …Joey kicks out escaping the pinfall. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Just when you think you’ve got the Vipers down; they can pull out a pinfall attempt from any direction!!
[ Both men jockey back to their feet, but Santos drives a big knee into the Joey’s midsection and then rams Joey’s head into the top turnbuckle. Santos whips Joey from one corner to the other, but Joey counters and springs to the middle rope and comes back with a flying crossbody onto Santos rolling him up for the cover …1 …2 …but Santos shoots a shoulder off the mat escaping the pin attempt. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Joey has done a good job at isolating Santos from Pedro Supremo so far in this match.
[ Santos gets up to his feet and elbows Joey in the mouth and then scoops him into a body slam. He tags in Pedro Supremo and wrenches the arm as Pedro Supremo dives off the second rope with a double sledge to the twisted arm. Pedro Supremo then delivers a body slam of his own to Joey and hits a perfectly executed leg drop across Joey’s neck. Joey writhers in pain as he holds his neck. Pedro Supremo points to the sky as if he’s going to do his moon-sault, but as he climbs up, Joey kips up! Joey slings himself behind Pedro Supremo and then hits a jumping back kick to the head causing Pedro Supremo to topple from the top rope to the canvas landing on the back of his neck. Joey waits for him to stand and blasts into him with a spinning lariat!!! Joey falls on top of Pedro Supremo for the cover …1 …2 …and Santos dives in making the save! ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Man the Vipers were almost fucking snake bitten yet again!!
[ Pedro Supremo, dazed; slowly gets to his feet. Joey blasts him with some forearms to the back and then throws him into the turnbuckles. Joey tags in his brother Matt and rockets his own partner into the corner, slamming into Pedro Supremo with a massive running clothesline. Matt then snap-mares Pedro Supremo out of the corner and does a running kick to Pedro Supremo’s back. Matt scoops Pedro Supremo up into a huge Samoan Drop! Santos tries to come in, but Matt superkicks him right over the top rope sending him crashing to the floor! Matt lifts up Pedro Supremo as Joey climbs to the top rope. The crowd goes wild as Joey soars off nailing Pedro Supremo with the Lynching (a top rope Steiner Driver)!!! Matt rolls Pedro Supremo for the cover as Joey drop kicks Santos off the ring apron …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And the winners of this match, the Lynch Mob!!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Excellent win for the Lynch Mob!! Sucks to be the Vipers as they drop to oh and two!!
[ Los Vipers sit in the middle of the ring sulking as the Lynch Mob walk back up the rampway. Los Vipers watch as Tito Escobar shakes his head in disgust and walks backstage. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Looks like Escobar didn’t like what he just saw from the Vipers Mike. He just turned his back on them!!
[ The cameras swing to the backstage area where we see Cindy Meyers still standing outside the locker-room of Alexander Stone. ]
Cindy Meyers – Guys, I have no idea what is going on; but during the match the Guerillas of Destiny entered the locker-room of Alexander Stone and they have yet to come out.
[ As if almost on cue, the door to the locker-room swings open and G.O.D. storms out looking very serious. ]
Cindy Meyers – Tanga, Tama; can I get a word with you please?
[ The two men keep walking as she gives chase. ]
Cindy Meyers – What were you doing in Alexander Stone’s locker-room? What were you talking about?
[ The two men stop and back her against the wall as she nearly shits her pants. ]
Tanga Loa – Let’s get something straight. What we and Stone talked about is between him and us. And as far as we’re concerned, you don’t need to know anything about our business …do you?
Tama Tonga – I suggest you leave this alone and stay out of our business!!
[ G.O.D. storms away as Cindy stands plastered against the wall frightened. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – What is it with these people bullying Cindy like that? The next time I see DDP I’m going to talk to him about this shit!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – It’s not right. She’s just trying to do her job!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Well folks, up next we have the first of three qualifying matches for the United States title. The winners of each match will face off in a Triple Threat Ladder match at the Crossfire PPV next week!! We are in for a hell of a treat.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Damn straight. Each man that lost their World Heavyweight title tournament matches are going to go head-to-head tonight. Well, all except Raven Horse that is.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Talk about a sore fucking loser. I lost a shit ton of matches in my career, but I never cried about it as much as this kid has. Let’s get right back to the action!!
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall and it is a qualifying match in the United States title tournament! Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 185 lbs. “The Young Gun” Chandler Hopkins!
[ The Texas Cowboy struts down to the ring as “The Rodeo Theme” by Chandler Hopkins and Magnificent Malico rocks the arena. The crowd sings along with his music as the fan favorite high fives fans along the way. Hopkins takes his hat and vest off before walking up the ring steps and climbing in. He bounces off the ropes warming up and stretching out. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – I like this kid Chris, but he’s one and one coming into this match and is in desperate need of a win tonight.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Yeah, he had a great win over Bulk in the opening round of the World title tournament, but fell a little short against Caristico. Let’s see how he handles Kahagas and Funny Bones.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his first opponent, his way to the ring weighing in at 205 lbs., “The Tokyo Monster” Kahagas!!!
[ The crowd boos as the lights in the arena begin to flash and “Three Nill” by Slipknot erupts. Kahagas walks out, face painted in red as the Demon makes his way down to the ring and rolls in never taking his eyes off of Hopkins. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Talk about clash of the titans!! What an epic main event we had right here last week when Kahagas took Alexander Stone to the fucking limit.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – This guy has to be the odds-on favorite to win this belt after his very strong showing against Stone and Joey Ryan. Well, maybe not Ryan; but defiantly Stone.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And their final opponent, making his way to the ring, weighing in at 215 lbs., “The Demon King” Funny Bones!!
[ The sold-out crowd explodes to their feet booing as “The House of 1000 Corpses” by Rob Zombie erupts across the arena and “The Demon King” Funny Bones stalks out on stage. Slowly he walks down to the ring and climbs in glaring at Hopkins and Kahagas. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – This guy is fucked up. Where did Mark and DDP find these freaks?
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – No clue big guy. But if they are going to keep dragging these guys out of the darkness, they might want to create a Hardcore division. Just saying.
[ The bell sounds and all three men look at one another. Hopkins is looking to make an impact though, charging in and clobbering Funny Bones with a big right hand and then hip tossing him over with a hip toss to the mat. Funny Bones starts to stand up, but Hopkins does a hip attack and then butterflies his arms over into a double underhook suplex! The crowd cheers for him, but unfortunately for Hopkins, his celebrations are short lived, as Kahagas comes up from behind hitting a double back elbow into a front face jam move, driving the cowboy to the canvas. Hopkins tries to stand back up, but Kahagas levels him with a running shoulder before turning his attention to Funny Bones. But Funny Bones is a veteran and as Kahagas charges in, Funny Bones catches him with a jumping double cross chop and then spins him around with a roaring elbow combination! Kahagas looks to be out on his feet, as Funny Bones charges in with a diving forearm attack! Funny Bones scoops Kahagas up into a Joshi-style slam and then delivers an elbow drop on him. Funny Bones turns around only to find Hopkins back up on his feet nailing him with a side Russian leg sweep! Hopkins quickly goes for the pin attempt …1 …1 1/2 …but Funny Bones just gets the shoulder up before the two count. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Hopkins went for the first pin attempt but it’s way too early in the match for that. Especially a three-way match.
[ Hopkins knees Funny Bones in the face, only to get hit with a flying back press by Kahagas! Kahagas grabs Funny Bones and plants him with a DDT. Kahagas turns around and has Hopkins in a bad way after a nasty combination of punches and quick, low-to-medium height kicks. He’s all smiles, but soon Funny Bones drives him into a corner and is skewering him with vicious shoulder thrusts into the turnbuckle. As Funny Bones finishes his thrusts, he pulls away just long enough for Kahagas to slump down to a seated position before putting a boot to him, mudhole-style, stomping away at his stomach, chest and shoulders. Funny Bones now turns his attention to Hopkins and is looming over Hopkins in the corner opposite and raining stiff punches down on his face until Hopkins manages to deflect two of the blows and then low-blows Funny Bones directly in the groin! As Funny Bones starts to fall, Hopkins gives him an added shove and he hits the canvas back-first and hard. Hopkins immediately falls into a mounted position on top of him and with one hand bracing his head by the scalp, he starts punching him with the other.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – This match is getting down and fucking dirty my friend!!
[ Hopkins continues to hammer away and then goes for the quick cover …1 …2 …and Funny Bones manages to shoot a shoulder off the mat breaking the count! ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – You get the feeling that Hopkins wants this win in the worst way?
[ Again, Funny Bones manages to escape certain defeat. Hopkins lifts him up for a suplex, but Funny Bones blocks it and counters with a suplex of his own! The sold-out crowd cheers that, as Funny Bones hits the ropes and comes up with a flying kick right to the face of Hopkins, knocking him through the ropes and to the floor. Funny Bones turns around, only for Kahagas to clothesline him over the top rope to the floor landing in a heap next to Hopkins! The referee watches as Hopkins and Funny Bones staggers back to their feet and Kahagas climbs up to the top rope, propelling his body through the air in a haphazard way right onto them sending all three men crashing to the floor!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – What a suicidal move by Kahagas!! He not only took his opponents out, but he sacrificed his own body in the process!!!
[ Kahagas slowly gets up to his feet, but Hopkins comes up from behind and charges in with a running bulldog on the outside! Hopkins reaches around under the ring and pulls out a trash can, a kendo stick and a trash can lid. He throws the stick aside for a moment and then measures with the lid smashing it over the head of Kahagas! He turns and picks up the kendo stick and jabs Funny Bones in the gut with it!! Hopkins celebrates with the fans at ringside, but he never sees that Kahagas is charging into him with a running clothesline that rams Hopkins into the steel guardrail! Now Kahagas turns around and jabs a few rights into the face of Funny Bones and picks up a steel chair, looking to whack it over Funny Bones’ head. But Funny Bones blocks it with the trash can! Funny Bones then swings the can around, looking to hit Kahagas, but Kahagas ducks and the trash can bashes down onto Hopkins head! ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – This match has broken down and has gotten fucking nasty!!
[ Hopkins drops to the floor, as Kahagas and Funny Bones roll back into the ring. Kahagas swings wildly, and Funny Bones catches him with a big forearm blast to the chest. Funny Bones scoops Kahagas up into a sidewinder suplex! Hopkins finally gets back up and rolls into the ring and charges at Funny Bones, but Funny Bones ducks him only to drive him into the mat with a back body drop!! Funny Bones taunts the sold-out crowd a bit too long as both men are and they start wailing on him with dueling nasty blows to his back. Kahagas lifts Funny Bones up into a suplex driver, and Hopkins follows up with a nasty running elbow drop directly onto Funny Bones’ chest. Kahagas, meanwhile, manages to position himself for yet another suplex, this time taking out Hopkins! ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – The kid needs to learn to never turn your back on anyone!!
[ Hopkins and Kahagas get in each other’s faces and are screaming at each other now for Kahagas’s cheap shot!! As Funny Bones starts to get up and Hopkins and Kahagas stop their bitching at each other and take the opportunity to do more damage, both of them stomping down on Funny Bones until he’s screaming for mercy. Hopkins then heads over to Kahagas and picks him up, but Kahagas thumbs him in the eye and kicks him hard on the side of the leg so hard, the leg buckles and Hopkins falls to one knee. Funny Bones is back up and shakes loose the cobwebs before he then takes three steps back before coming forward with a Shining Wizard to the side of Hopkins’ head!!! Hopkins falls flat like a soda left open too long and now Kahagas assaults Funny Bones from behind, driving the veteran into a corner and then dropkicking him. Funny Bones falls into the seated position and Kahagas takes advantage, using his boot to wash Funny Bones’ face. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – What a fucking boot shot to the face!!! Funny Bones may have a busted jaw after that kick!!!
[ Funny Bones gets stomped down in the corner by Kahagas, but Hopkins comes up behind Kahagas and wraps him up into a sleeper-hold! The referee starts to check in, because it looks like Kahagas’ eyes are getting heavy. But then Funny Bones shoots up and grabs Hopkins from behind while he’s still got Kahagas in the sleeper and he flings them both over with a double superplex!! ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – What a power move by Funny Bones!!! Both Kahagas and Hopkins are out!!
[ That huge move by Funny Bones creates a massive pop from the crowd!! Funny Bones scales the top rope, measures, and leaps off onto Hopkins with a Five Star Frog Splash! Funny Bones rolls Hopkins up and covers him …1 …2 …2 ½ …but somehow Hopkins gets his shoulder up! ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – This kid has a shit ton of fight in him!!
[ Kahagas charges in, but Funny Bones sees him coming and flings him into a huge back body drop. Funny Bones grabs Kahagas and nails him with the Demon Driver (The One-Winged Angel)!!! Funny Bones rolls Kahagas up for the win …1 …2 …2 ¾ …but Kahagas grabs the bottom rope. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Man talk about shit luck!!! Kahagas was inches away from losing this match!!
[ Funny Bones drags Kahagas by the feet, looking to pull him away from the ropes, but Kahagas repeatedly kicks Funny Bones in the head. Kahagas gets back up and elbows Funny Bones in the face and then takes Funny Bones down with a scoop-slam. Kahagas turns around to find Hopkins back up and the two men start to trade shots. Kahagas begins hammering away at him with right hands. Going toe to toe with Hopkins in a fist fight proves to be a mistake as Hopkins fires back with powerful right hands of his own. Hopkins then grabs Kahagas by the throat and throws him into the corner. Hopkins unloads with a few shots onto Kahagas and then headbutts him. As Hopkins goes to throw a huge haymaker, Kahagas ducks underneath and uses his quickness to shove Hopkins into the corner. Kahagas fires off some quick jabs to Hopkins midsection before backing up to the opposite corner. Kahagas runs back and connects with a corner clothesline, jumping into it with extra force. Now Kahagas turns his attention to Funny Bones who is starting to get up. He gives Funny Bones a kick to the midsection and goes for a suplex, but Funny Bones counters and instead hits a front suplex onto Kahagas, sending him to the mat; gut first. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Funny Bones is also wrestling a pretty damn good match!!! He’s showing that he would also be a great United States champion.
[ The referee watches closely as Funny Bones measures and then delivers a huge spinning elbow into the face of Kahagas, seemingly knocking him inside out. Funny Bones rolls Kahagas up for the covers …1 …2 …2 ¾ …and incredibly Kahagas kicks out. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – How the fuck is Kahagas finding the energy to kick out of those moves?
[ Funny Bones grabs Hopkins and nails him with the Demon Driver (The One-Winged Angel) knocking Hopkins for a loop. Funny Bones rolls Hopkins up for the win …1 …2 …2 7/8 …and Kahagas dives in breaking up the pin! ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Damn-it, Funny Bones was so fucking close to ending this!!
[ Funny Bones elbows Kahagas in the gut and then throws him backwards into the corner. Funny Bones waits for Hopkins to stand and sends him careening into Kahagas in a comedic fashion that sees both men landing in a seated position, backs to each other and propping one-another up! Funny Bones hits the far corner ropes and does a basement dropkick right to the face of Hopkins, causing his head to smash into Kahagas! Funny Bones rolls Hopkins over and covers him again …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Kahagas dives in again with a forearm to the back of Funny Bones’ neck! ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – The fight in these kids is fucking amazing!!!
[ Funny Bones starts unloading with some chops on Kahagas. Kahagas ducks under an attempted clothesline and counters taking Funny Bones down with a reverse DDT. Kahagas hooks Funny Bones’ head under his arm pulling away from the ropes and putting his arm over his head lifting him up in the air with a vertical suplex. Kahagas falls back hitting the suplex, and the instant he drops him Hopkins jumps up and hits Kahagas in the ribs with a couple big stomps to keep him down. Funny Bones mounts him and hits Kahagas with repeated right hands before he stands back up and raises his hands in the air stirring up the crowd. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – This fucking idiot cares more about pissing the fans off than going for the cover? What an idiot!!!
[ Hopkins now grabs Funny Bones kicks him in the gut doubling him over and signals he’s going for the Wrangler (Buckshot Lariat), but as he turns around to hit the ropes; Kahagas catches him on the run and drives him into the mat with the Monster Driver (Half nelson driver)!!! Kahagas covers Hopkins as the referee slaps the mat …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winners by of this match, Kahagas!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – What a fucking great match Chris!!! If this is any sign of what the other three qualifying matches are going to be like we are in for one hell of a show!!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Amazing win for Kahagas and even though Hopkins and Funny Bones lost, they really opened a ton of eyes tonight. They are going to be major players for years to come.
[ The camera switches to the backstage area where Cindy Meyers is standing by with General Manager DDP. ]
Cindy Meyers – DDP, I am hearing that you have a number of major announcements regarding next week’s Crossfire ppv?
“The Hall of Famer” Diamond Dallas Page – Yeah, I do. First off, regarding the WWE Television title. At Crossfire, we are going to have a five-man Scramble match to crown the new Television champion.
Cindy Meyers – Any clue as to who may be in that match?
“The Hall of Famer” Diamond Dallas Page – Right now I can tell you that Chandler Hopkins will be the match along with Funny Bones. Those two boys showed me tonight that they need be in a championship match and to me there’s no bigger match for them than the Television title match!!
Cindy Meyers – What other big news do you have for us tonight?
“The Hall of Famer” Diamond Dallas Page – Yeah, tonight we find out who will be battling for the Worlds Heavyweight title at Crossfire. But that’s not all. The two men that end up on the losing end of their matches will also be moving on to Crossfire and will be facing each other in a Number One Contenders match and will move on to face the World Heavyweight Champion at our March PPV called …Undisputed.
[ And the titantron shows the March PPV banner. ]
Cindy Meyers – This is incredible. Is there more?
“The Hall of Famer” Diamond Dallas Page – Yeah, I have one last thing. At Crossfire, we are going to have a special guest that will present the new world champion with the brand-new World Heavyweight title belt.
Cindy Meyers – Who is it?
“The Hall of Famer” Diamond Dallas Page – None other than the twenty-five-time world champion …Tank Edge!!
[ And the crowd explodes to their feet as the banner showing Tank appears on the screen. ]
Cindy Meyers – Incredible news right from the GM guys!! Back to you!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Let’s start off with the Television title!!! DDP is putting together a monstrous ppv event and he’s right, Hopkins and Funny Bones deserves to be part of Crossfire!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – I couldn’t agree more. What a way to build a ppv than have five guys rip each other apart for the TV title. This is going to be huge.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Then he told us that the losers of tonight’s third round matches will go on to Crossfire and face off in a Number One Contendership match for the Worlds Heavyweight title with the winner getting a title shot at our March PPV called Undisputed!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Two huge opportunities for all four men tonight. If they lose tonight, they all get a second shot next week at the ppv!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – And finally we found out that Tank will be back on WWE television for the first time in over eleven years as he will be at the ppv to present the new World Heavyweight Champion with the brand-new WWE World Heavyweight title!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – I can’t wait to see him. It’s been at least ten years since we all have been in the same building together.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Crossfire is really building up to be one amazing night. But we have a long way to go tonight.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – That’s right as the women are back in action next. Let’s go back to the ring and rejoin Harvey Weinstein. Harvey, take it away!!!
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall. Making her way to the ring, weighing in at 155 lbs., “The Beast” Shanna Furguson.
[ The crowd boos as “The Trainer Battle” of the Pokémon Guitar Cover plays Shanna storms down to the ring, bare foot and dressed in her UFC garb. She dives under the bottom rope and starts to pace around like a mad woman motioning for Gabby to get her ass out to the ring. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – This match should be incredible. Shanna needs a win to gain some momentum going into her ppv match against Maria Manic, who won her match earlier tonight.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Let’s not forget what Shanna did to Maria’s car last week. She shattered the windshield on her car that I heard cost her a thousand bucks to repair.
[ “Fight to the Death” by Neil Myers rocks the arena as the crowd explodes to their feet as “The Alpha Female” Gabby Jettson storms out on stage and marches down to the ring!! ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – This bitch is huge Chris!! She stands six foot one and weighs in at one hundred and ninety-four pounds!!! She is one powerful woman.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – She’s the tallest woman on our roster and she’s second only to Havok, when it comes to pure weight. But this isn’t a fat kinda weight, Gabby is all muscle.
[ As the bell sounds, Shanna looks tentatively at Gabby, who is warming up in the corner. Shanna isn’t quite sure what to make of the powerhouse, as she skips around the ring before locking up with her much larger opponent. It’s a bit of a stalemate at first, but Gabby uses her larger size to back Shanna into the turnbuckles. Gabby swings for a big forearm shot, but Shanna ducks under it. As Gabby smashes against the buckles, Shanna pelts her with quick Karate kicks into the midsection. Shanna then spins Gabby around and grabs her by the head, charging out of the buckles with a running face jam into the canvas. Shanna goes for the quick cover hooking the leg …1 …and the referee can barely get a one count out before Gabby powers out and claws at Shanna’s face, raking it and drawing the ire of the official. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – If you’re going to beat the Beast you gotta get down and fucking dirty!!
[ Gabby kicks the blinded Shanna in the back while she down and then lifts her up and drops her throat first across the top rope, again causing the referee to yell at her about those sorts of tactics. Gabby grabs Shanna around the head, wrenching on a chin lock of sorts, but then digging her fingers into the nostrils of Shanna and pulling them back almost to give her a pig nose. Gabby’s clawing at the face which forces the referee to intervene. He warns Gabby again and she hisses at him, only for Shanna to elbow Gabby in the stomach and then send Gabby into the ropes for a perfectly executed drop toe hold! Shanna grabs Gabby into cross-face, wrenching Gabby’s head back. The referee drops to the mat checking to see if Gabby quits, but Gabby gets to the bottom rope breaking the hold. Shanna bounces off the ropes and nails Gabby with a beautiful dropkick that sends Gabby stumbling between the top and middle ropes and to the floor! ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Now we’re going to see what Gabby is made of. Shanna is feeling it now!!
[ The referee starts his count as Gabby pulls herself to her feet. …1 …2 …Shanna jets across the ring and dives under the ropes with a nasty baseball slide crashing into Gabby sending her careening into the steel guardrail! Gabby hits with a thud and crumples to the floor holding her hip. …3 …4 …5 …Shanna composes herself briefly before delivering a variety of kicks and stomps to Gabby on the outside. …6 …7 …Shanna then lifts Gabby up and looks like she might throw her back into the ring, but instead scoops Gabby up and body slams her directly on the steel ring steps! …8 …9 …Shanna lifts Gabby up and rolls her into the ring, before scampering in after her and covering with a lateral press …1 …2 …2 ½ …and somehow Gabby finds the strength to press out of the cover. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – After all that, Gabby still manages to kick out. Fucking incredible!!!
[ Gabby tries to roll away from Shanna as Shanna stays on her and kicks Gabby in the gut and then drags her to her feet setting her up for a DDT. As Shanna is about to hit the DDT, Gabby pulls Shanna by the back of her shorts, sending Shanna stumbling into the turnbuckle. Shanna hits the back of her head just slightly on the buckles and then turns around to get a monstrous running clothesline from Gabby turning her inside out. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Holy shit, I’ve never seen Shanna get hit so hard!!
[ Gabby drags Shanna up to her feet by her hair and nails her with a couple forearms and elbows to her face. Gabby then lifts Shanna up and drives her down across her knee with a vicious backbreaker. Gabby lifts Shanna up and slings her around by her hair, throwing her into the turnbuckles where Shanna holds herself up barely standing. Gabby charges in with a head of steam, but Shanna kips up the buckles and wraps her legs around Gabby’s head hitting her with a huricanrana out of the corner. Shanna drags Gabby to her feet, motions that this match is over before scooping Gabby up and driving her into the mat with the Beast Slayer (a sit down powerbomb into a pin)!!! Shanna rolls Gabby up hooking her legs for the cover …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match, “The Beast” Shanna Furguson!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – A great win for Shanna tonight as she moves on to face Maria Manic at Crossfire.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Both Maria and Shanna have built some momentum going into the ppv. I can’t wait to see how this grudge match is going to be settled.
[ Just then, the titantron comes to life showing the face of Maria Manic. ]
“The Maneater” Maria Manic – Hey Shanna!! Up her!!
[ Shanna pauses her celebration to looks up at Maria on the titantron. ]
“The Maneater” Maria Manic – Yeah, great win tonight!! Props for beating Gabby!! But you and I both know that this thing between you and I …well it is not about wins and losses, is it? This has gotten very personal. So personal that last week you took it upon yourself to smash the windshield out of my car.
[ Back in the ring Shanna has a hard time holding back her laughter finding it pretty damn funny at what she did. ]
“The Maneater” Maria Manic – Funny? You think that’s funny? Well Shanna, I didn’t find it very funny. And I don’t think you’re going to find this very funny either!!
[ The cameras then pan back to the parking lot where we see Shanna’s car parked. Then, from out of nowhere; a huge monster truck crushes her car!! ]
[ Shanna is stunned as she watches the monster truck level her car. Maria looks back at her. ]
“The Maneater” Maria Manic – You find it funny now …bitch?!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Holy shit Chris, I’m speechless. This has gotten way out of control. Like Maria said, this has gone beyond wins and losses. This has gotten very, very personal.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Wrestling is one thing, but destroying each-others personal belongings is another thing entirely. I for one can’t wait to see how DDP handles this mess.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Chris, we are moving on to our second qualifying match in the United States title tournament which features Joey Ryan taking on Bulk and Prophet!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – This should be Prophet’s match all the way. There’s no way I could see him losing this match tonight. Let’s go back to the ring.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall and it is a qualifying match in the United States title tournament! Making his way to the ring, accompanied by Spice; weighing in at 210 lbs., “The Don” Joey Ryan!!!
[ The crowd erupts in a mixture of laughter and cheers as the part time porn star Joey Ryan struts out on stage along with his stripper friend Spice to the “The Stroke” by Billy Squire!! Joey dances down the ramp thrusting his penis at young women. Finally making it to the ring, he sexually rolls in and lays in the corner showing off his large package as Spice flaunts her ass to the men at ringside. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – This guy’s a fucking joke!! Why we even have him on the roster is fucking mind boggling!! DDP should have just fired him last week instead of giving this clown a second chance.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Can we sign Spice to the women’s roster? She’s fucking hot as hell!!!
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his first opponent, weighing in at 484 lbs., Bulk!
[ “Onward to Victory” by Icepick plays as the massive Bulk marches down to the ring to a chorus of boos. The giant of a man climbs the steps stepping through the ropes glaring at Spice like he wants to eat her. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – We haven’t seen Bulk since week one where he lost his first-round match to Chandler Hopkins. He’s hoping to turn his luck around tonight and get into the winning column.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – If it was just a one-on-one match against Joey Ryan, I would say piece of cake. But having Prophet in this match it just made it that much tougher for him.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And their final opponent, weighing in at 227 lbs., Prophet!!!
[ The crowd goes ape-shit as the arena goes dark and pyro explodes before “The Power of I and I” by Shadows Fall explodes across the arena. The spotlight beams down to the center of the stage where Prophet stands, arms out wide. He slowly makes his way down to the ring as the spotlight follows him along the way before climbing in. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – This guy screwed himself over last week when he put his spot in the tournament on the line against Raven Horse and then had to take on Arik Cannon in the very next match!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Give the guy some credit will yeah. He’s a man of his word.
[ Ryan immediately runs at Bulk as the bell sounds. Prophet quickly gets the hint and joins him, the two smaller men pummeling the big man into the corner. They litter in some kicks with their punches but after a few seconds, Bulk explodes out of the corner, shoving them both away. Prophet retreats to one corner while Ryan retreats opposite him. Bulk runs at Prophet and goes for a devastating lariat, but Prophet ducks! Bulk doesn't slow down though, bouncing out of the corner and roaring across the ring at Ryan, who dodges out of the way at the last minute, letting Bulk bounce off those turnbuckles right into a sit-out reverse face-buster by Prophet! Ryan comes right in with a knee drop across Bulk’s throat. Bulk gasps for air as Ryan rolls him up for the win …1 …and Bulk shoves Ryan off him before Prophet can even attempt to break up the pin. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – It’s going to take a hell of a lot more than that to take the big man down!!
[ Bulk gets to his feet and is once again met with a barrage of shots from both Prophet and Ryan. Bulk shoves Prophet across the ring and turns his attention to Ryan, battling a right hand away and slapping both of his massive hands down on Ryan’s exposed chest. Ryan turns away and falls to his knees, his hands shooting up to his beat red and blistering chest. Spice cringes outside the ring watching as Ryan writhers in pain. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – He’s going to need a shit ton of make-up to cover up those welts!!
[ Prophet is back on Bulk in a second, peppering him with right hands. It's like a mosquito buzzing around the head of Bulk as the big man lifts one of his mitts up and brings it down on Prophet's chest, showing that's just as bad as two mitts. Prophet staggers away and Ryan is right back on Bulk, switching to kicks this time as Ryan is able to hit the big man enough to get him to back into the corner. Ryan starts mixing it up as he levels Bulk with elbows, fists and kicks, keeping him at bay. Ryan just keeps on the assault before springing up and nailing Bulk in the jaw with a high knee strike! Prophet comes out of nowhere with one of his own on the other side of Bulk! The big man finally slumps down to the mat, sitting in the corner. Both Prophet and Ryan share a glance and nod before backing up and rushing forward, sandwiching the Bulk's head with stereo basement dropkicks! Bulk slumps lifelessly, falling to the mat completely before falling out of the ring and crashing to the floor in a heap. Spice rushes over screaming profanities at Bulk as he lays there trying to get his shit together. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – That bitch’s voice sounds like nails across a chalkboard!!
[ Ryan and Prophet both scramble to their feet and it’s Ryan who is up first, lunging forward before he's even up the whole way, kicking Prophet in the gut. Prophet doubles over, allowing Ryan to drop an elbow down onto the back of his neck. Ryan quickly locks his arm around Prophet's head and plants him into the mat with the Big Dong (a Tombstone Piledriver)!!! Joey rolls Prophet up hooking the legs …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Prophet manages to kick out just in time! ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – I gotta tell you, the warning by DDP last week lit a fire under Ryan’s ass.
[ Ryan looks at the referee in disbelief as the referee holds two fingers up in front of him. Ryan shakes his head and turns back to Prophet. Ryan gets to his feet and stomps down on Prophet’s back a couple of times. Ryan picks Prophet up going for the Big Dong again, but Prophet wriggles out of Ryan's grasp countering with the End of Days (Scorpion Death Drop)!!! Prophet rolls on-top of Ryan for the pin. …1 …2 …2 ¾ …when from out of nowhere Raven Horse grabs Prophet by his feet and drags him under the bottom rope and out of the ring to the floor!!! ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – This fucking guy just can’t leave well enough alone!!
[ On the floor, Raven Horse and Prophet exchange blow for blow as the battle their way back up the rampway!! Spice sees her opportunity and reaches under the ring and pulls out a massive foot long pink vibrator tossing it to her man Joey Ryan who catches it like a champ. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – What the fuck is that thing?!
[ Bulk rolls back into the ring, turns toward Joey Ryan and BLAM …Ryan lays him out with a vibrator shot right between the fucking eyes knocking his fat ass out cold!!! ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – You see, Ryan’s part time porn job does come in handy!!
[ Ryan tosses the-foot-long vibrator out of the ring and rolls Bulk up as the referee turns his attention back to the action in the ring never seeing the cheap shot that took Bulk out. Ryan hooks both of Bulks fat legs as the referee counts …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match, Joey Ryan!!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Holy fuck, Joey Ryan just bought himself a ticket to the ppv!!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – I am sure DDP never saw this coming when he boked this match. Fuck …I never saw this shit coming!!
[ The camera’s flash to the back where we see a dozen referees and security guards trying their damndest to keep Maria Manic and Shanna Furguson apart from killing each other. ]
[ Amidst the chaos, the General Manager of the WWE DDP storms into the scene. ]
“The Hall of Famer” Diamond Dallas Page – Stop it!! That’s enough, both of you!!!
“The Beast” Shanna Furguson – Enough? Enough? Did you see what she did to my fucking car?
“The Maneater” Maria Manic – What I did to your car? Did you see what she did to my car last week? That bitch started this, and I’m going to end it!!
“The Beast” Shanna Furguson – You’re going to end it? Oh, I’m going to end you!!!
“The Hall of Famer” Diamond Dallas Page – I said that’s enough. The two of you are going to stop this bull-shit and save it for Crossfire.
“The Beast” Shanna Furguson – You’re dead bitch!!
“The Maneater” Maria Manic – Oh really? Let me tell you something, there’s not going to no place to hide and nowhere to run once I get your ass in the ring!! You bit off a hell of a lot more than you can chew!!
[ DDP rolls his eyes at them. ]
“The Hall of Famer” Diamond Dallas Page – Fine!! The two of you left me no choice. This match at Crossfire will now be a Last Woman Standing match!!!
[ And DDP storms off letting security handle trying to keep these two women from killing each other. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Holy shit! A Last Woman Standing match? That’s as good as saying unsanctioned!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – DDP just opened the door for these two women to do whatever the hell they want at the ppv.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Man what a show we have had so far tonight, and the action is far from over as we now turn back to the tag team division where the Hooligans are slated for action against the Blood Carnival.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – I gotta go with the Hooligan’s Mike. After that beating Steve took at the hands of the Natural Disasters, he’s lucky to still have a career.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following tag team match is set for one fall. Making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 462 lbs., the Hooligans!
[ The crowd doesn’t know whether to boo or cheer these two odd individuals as “We are Scum” by Reno and Scum blares across the arena as the tag team duo of Reno and Scum make their way down to the ring and climb in, pacing around waiting for their opponents. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – The Hooligan’s fell short in the first round against G.O.D., but I guess that’s not so bad considering that G.O.D. is now in the finals at the PPV.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – What I know is that they need a win tonight, and there’s no better opportunity than against a beaten down team in the Blood Carnival; not being at one hundred percent coming into this match.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And their opponents, making their way to the ring, weighing in at a combined weight of 518 lbs., the Blood Carnival!!!
[ The crowd boos their asses off as the Blood Carnival escorted by Bloody Mary walks out on stage to “The Nobodies” by Marilyn Manson. Pyro explodes around them as they walk down to the ring, climb up onto the ring apron and pose for the crowd generating more heat!! ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Even after the beating they took at the hands of the Natural Disasters this crowd still hates them.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – It’s a what have you done for me lately kinda crowd here tonight, and unfortunately; the Blood Carnival don’t have much to speak for coming off that loss to the Natural Disasters.
[ The bell rings and Steve Scott and Reno lock up, collar-and-elbow. They spin around, still trying to see which one gets an edge. Steve Scott finally starts to get momentum and pushes Reno into the corner. The referee starts to count. The break is slow, so the referee goes in and physically tries to hurry the break. While the referee’s head is down, SMACK …Steve Scott with a huge right-hand slap across Reno’s face! Reno checks his face and his jaw looking for blood. Steve Scott smiles taunting Reno. Marc Fulton is seen bouncing up and down on the bottom rope cheering Scott on. On the floor, Bloody Mary pounds on the mat telling Scott to do it again. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – These guys are fucking nuts. I wouldn’t want to piss the big guy off.
[ Once again, Steve Scott and Reno circle the ring before locking into a collar-and-elbow tie up. Both men moving the other back and forth. Again, Steve Scott backs Reno into the corner. The referee again begins his count. Steve Scott backs out of the way enough not to hit or be hit. Reno looks at Scum, who give him encouragement. Reno walks toward his foe, but Steve Scott kicks Reno in the gut. Forearm smash from Steve Scott onto Reno followed by another one. Steve Scott with a leg sweep to knock Reno off his feet. Steve Scott locks in a headlock on Reno, while stepping on Reno’s left calf. The referee checks but no signs of quit by Reno. Reno now moving a bit, struggling mightily trying to get to the ropes to break the hold. Steve Scott repositions himself trying to get better counterweight on Reno. But Reno wraps his arms around Steve Scott and lifts him up and driving him into the mat with an impressive side suplex! Both men are down gasping for air and reaching for the corners. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – That took a shit ton out of Reno, but he needed that move.
[ Using the ropes, Reno staggers to his feet. Steve Scott is crawling over toward his partner as Reno is up first. Steve Scott jumps but misses the tag as Reno is barely able to reach out with both hands and pull Steve Scott just millimeters away from the hand of Marc Fulton. Reno picks up Steve Scott and Irish whips him into the ropes away from Marc Fulton and levels him with a nasty lariat that flips Steve Scott in a way that you’d think his neck was broken. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – That can’t be good for a guy who just got out of the fucking hospital last week.
[ Somehow, Reno’s big move lands Steve Scott closer to his partner and Marc Fulton makes the much-needed tag. Scott rolls under the bottom rope falling to the floor where Bloody Mary tends to him. Marc Fulton charges in and nails Reno with a big boot that sends Reno stumbling over toward Scum who makes the tag. Reno rolls under the bottom rope landing not far from Steve Scott and Bloody Mary. Marc Fulton and Scum start unloading heavy handed lefts and rights to each other. Each man knocking the other man into a corner only for the other man to bounce back out of the corner and keep swinging. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – These guys are kicking the ever-loving shit out of each other!!
[ Finally, Marc Fulton sends Scum into the ropes going for the standing lariat; only to be chop blocked and driven to one knee. Exposed, Scum bounces off the ropes and nails Fulton a running Bulldog!!! Scum rolls the big man up for the pin …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Steve Scott with a kick to Scum’s head for the save! ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – That was fucking close!! The Blood Carnival almost dropped their second match!!
[ Reno rolls back into the ring trying to help his partner, but Steve Scott is able to use Reno’s momentum to shove him into the corner. Reno explodes out of the corner at Scott, but Steve Scott shocks him with a spinning spinebuster slam that pancakes him on the mat. Reno rolls out of the ring and crashes to the floor as Bloody Mary reads him the riot act. Scum attacks Steve Scott from behind stomping on his previously injured back. Marc Fulton gets involved and spins Scum around and starts clubbing him with massive forearm shots. The referee tries to regain control of the match by telling Steve Scott to leave, but it’s too late as Fulton lifts Scum up in the air. Scott bounces off the ropes and nails Scum with the Decapitator (The Hart Attack)!!! Reno rolls Scum up as Scott makes sure that Reno doesn’t get back in the ring and the referee makes the count …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winners of this match, the Blood Carnival!!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Great win for these two toughs as nails kids!!
[ Right in the middle of their celebration, the Blood Carnival watches as Reverend Azazel walks out on stage. ]
Reverend Azazel – Blood Carnival, I commend you both for a wonderful win tonight. Bravo for such a great comeback story. But it may just be your very last. You see, we were watching Adrenaline from our dressing room last week and I do believe it was you, Mr. Fulton; that gave us that heart felt update on your partner. And it was also you, Mr. Fulton; that threatened my tag team the Natural Disasters. I believe you said that you’re coming for our asses? Well gentlemen, here we are!!!
[ Fulton and Scott prepare themselves for a frontal assault from the Natural Disasters, never expecting the eight-hundred-pound monsters to come through the crowd, rolls into the ring; and attack them from behind!!! ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Oh no, not again!!
[ Ace Romero tosses Fulton to the floor with a thud as Bubba Ali drops a fat leg across Steve Scott’s neck!! Scott writhers in pain as the Natural Disasters each climb to the top rope. The fans go nuts as they prepare to soar off going for the World Breaker (double top rope splashes), but at the last minute; Marc reaches into the ring and drags Scott to safety!!! Marc, Scott and Bloody Mary escape through the pissed off crowd who were hoping to see the fat men fly!! ]
[ The cameras flip to the back where we see Prophet pounding on the door of the WWE General Manager DDP. Finally, DDP opens the door and he looks pissed off. ]
Prophet – We need to talk!!
“The Hall of Famer” Diamond Dallas Page – Like, I didn’t hear you pounding on my door the first ten times!!
Prophet – That piece of trash Raven Horse not only cost me my match against Arik Cannon last week, but he also cost me a shot at the United States Heavyweight title!!!
“The Hall of Famer” Diamond Dallas Page – Yeah, he did, but what does that got to do with me?
Prophet – I want him in a match at the ppv. I want to end him, and this; once and for all.
“The Hall of Famer” Diamond Dallas Page – Fine, I’ll give you Raven Horse in a match at Crossfire …but after that; this little feud between you two …it’s over one way or another. You got it?
Prophet – Yeah, I got it.
“The Hall of Famer” Diamond Dallas Page – Good, it’s going to be you and Raven Horse locked inside a steel cage!!
Prophet – Fine with me.
[ The cameras swing back to Mike and Chris at ringside. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – A cage match between these two is the perfect way to settle things.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – I’ve had a number of cage matches throughout my bloody career and I have to tell you each one left a lasting impression on me!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Chris, we are coming up on the last United States qualifying match of the night. It pits Tiger King taking on STIXX and Tito Escobar!!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Two amazing high flyers in Tiger King and Escobar and a ground and pound type of guy in STIXX. I think the most intriguing thing about this match is that we are finally going to see Escobar and STIXX go at it!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Like you said, it should be good. Let’s go back to the ring to see who will join Joey Ryan and Kahagas at the ppv!!! Harvey, all yours brother!!!
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall and it is a qualifying match in the United States title tournament! Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 188 lbs., Tiger King!!
[ The sold-out crowd goes nuts as “Omae wa Tora ni Nare” by Matsumura Toru explodes from the PA system!! The second-generation superstar that is best known for wrestling in Japan makes his way out and runs down to the ring diving under the bottom rope. He leaps up onto the second turnbuckle and poses for the fans. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – This kid is a hell of an athlete who fell just short in his first match against Caristico in the World title tournament.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – This kid can do things I could only dream of. And back in my hay day they called me a daredevil high flyer!!!
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his first opponent, weighing in at 235 lbs., STIXX!
[ The crowd goes nuts booing as “Break” by Three Days Grace plays as the crazy British superstar marches down to the ring without his clown mask that is still in the possession of Tito Escobar. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – This guy’s a beast. For the past month he’s been hell bent on getting his mask back from Tito Escobar!! Tonight, there will be no place for Escobar to hide!!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – To think this feud between STIXX and Escobar started on our very first night and it has all led to this. I can’t wait to see STIXX wrap his huge mitts around Escobar’s scrawny neck!!
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent, weighing in at 198 lbs., “Relentless” Tito Escobar!!!
[ The crowd erupts booing as “8 Mile” by Eminem erupts across the arena. Escobar struts out all cocky with STIXX’s mask in hand waving it to the booing crowd. He slowly climbs the ring steps and climbs through the ropes eyeing his opponents all the way. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – And there it is folks, the mask that launched this war between STIXX and Escobar!!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – I hope STIXX takes that mask and shoves it right up Escobar’s ass!!!
[ As soon as the bell rings STIXX makes a be-line for Escobar but Escobar wisely ducks out of the ring and runs over to Harvey Weinstein hiding behind him. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – How much protection is that hundred-pound Jew going to give Escobar?!
[ STIXX doesn't have a chance to give chase because Tiger King lunges across the ring, rocking STIXX back with a couple of stiff right fists. Tiger King backs STIXX against the ropes but STIXX has had enough, shoving Tiger King away and lunging forward with a quick lariat, and both men crash to the mat. STIXX stays down beside Tiger King and locks him in a rear-naked choke, wrapping his arms around Tiger King's neck trying to put him to sleep. Escobar slides back into the ring and stops down on the back of the head of STIXX before he can completely choke out Tiger King, forcing him to release the hold. Escobar reaches down and grabs STIXX's arms, lifting his boot to stomp on STIXX's chest and head but STIXX gets out of Escobar's grasp, reaching up and pulling him into a small package! But STIXX doesn't keep the hold, letting Escobar go immediately so he can instead choke Escobar out with his bare hands! The fans in the arena are going crazy as Escobar flails wildly. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – STIXX could care less about winning this match, he wants to kill Escobar!!!
[ The referee starts his five count, but Tiger King explodes with a rushing kick to STIXX's head and STIXX still doesn't let go! The fans cheer more as Tiger King backs up against the ropes, bouncing off and coming back with another hard stomp to STIXX's head. And he still doesn't let go! ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – This guy must have rocks in his head cause he aint feeling a damn thing!!!
[ Tiger King doesn't know what to do, choosing to climb to the top rope and soar off nailing both men with a 450 Splash!!! All three men writher on the mat in pain. Escobar rolls under the bottom rope and falls to the floor as Tiger King snatches up STIXX and rolls him up for the cover …1 …2 …and STIXX somehow kicks out! ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – STIXX is running on pure adrenaline!!!
[ Tiger King can't believe it, scoffing before bringing a knee down between STIXX's shoulder blades. Tiger King locks his hand under STIXX's chin and pulls back. He is only able to hold the move for a moment though because Escobar is back in the ring, quickly grabbing Tiger King by the mask and driving him down with a snap-DDT rolling him up for the win …1 …2 …and STIXX uses what little strength he has to reach over and break up the pin. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Man Escobar almost stole the win there using Tiger King’s mask to help with that DDT!!!
[ Escobar gives a look of shocked annoyance before getting up and viciously stomping down on the head of STIXX. Then he turns and stomps on the head of Tiger King. Escobar then turns and shoots his arms into the air, giving the fans in the arena the perfect opportunity to boo him. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – What an egotistical little fucker!!!
[ Escobar turns and reaches down for STIXX as STIXX crawls on his hands and knees. Escobar shoves STIXX's face away with hardly a response. STIXX only reaches out, grasping Escobar's tights as he pulls himself up again. Escobar goes to shove STIXX's face once more before he can STIXX shoots forward and gives Escobar a low-blow to end all low-blows. Escobar jumps about four feet in the air before crumpling down in a heap holding his nut sack, allowing STIXX to fall over for a reprieve as well. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – That’ll even the fucking odds!!
[ The fans cheer as STIXX starts to get up. He lunges forward with a stiff forearm to the face of Tiger King as Tiger King was also getting up. STIXX then gets to his feet and reaches down, grabbing Escobar's hair and forcing “the Relentless One” up. STIXX grabs Escobar’s wrist and pulls him in going for a short arm lariat, but Tiger King lunges forward and superkicks STIXX right in the face sending the big man over the top rope and crashing to the floor! Tiger King turns back to Escobar who kicks Tiger King in the gut doubling him over. Escobar hooks Tiger Kings arms and WHAM …drives him into the mat with a single arm DDT. Escobar quickly climbs to the second rope, points at Tiger King and nails him with a devastating Red Angel (second rope Tequila Sunrise)!!! Escobar rolls Tiger King up for the win as STIXX struggles to get to his feet outside the ring …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match, Tito Escobar!!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – That is a sick finishing move by Escobar as he just punched his ticket to Crossfire!!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – It should be a hell of a title match as Tito Escobar takes on Joey Ryan and Kahagas for the United States Heavyweight title in a Ladder match!!!
[ The show pans to the back where we see Raven Horse pissed off that DDP signed him to face Prophet in a cage match at the PPV. Reverend Azazel along with the Natural Disasters walk into the room and Raven Horse backs up defending himself for whatever may happen. ]
Raven Horse – What do want?
Reverend Azazel – Relax, for I am here to help you.
Raven Horse – Help me? How are you…(and he looks at Babba Ali and Ace Romero) supposed to help me?
[ Reverend Azazel smiles at Raven Horse. ]
Reverend Azazel – The same way I helped these two lost souls!! I am going to take you from the depths of despair and make you a champion!!!
Raven Horse – Really? And how’s that?
Reverend Azazel – By guaranteeing you a win at the ppv against your arch nemesis Prophet!!
[ Raven Horse thinks for a second and then is all ears. ]
Raven Horse – I’m listening.
[ The show swings back to Chris and Mike at ringside. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – It looks to me like Reverend Azazel is building his stable little by little. First the Natural Disasters and now Raven Horse?
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Let’s not be quick to pass judgement. Maybe the kid is smarter than what he appears to be.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Doubt it. Anyway, let’s get back to the match at hand as we now have the third-round match-up for the Worlds Heavyweight title featuring Arik Cannon taking on Caristico!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Cannon is a bar room, back yard, back ally brawler. Caristico is more high flying, death defying, mat technician. These two guys couldn’t be any more different.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall and it is a third-round match in the World Heavyweight title tournament! Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 210 lbs., “The Irish Ass-kicker” Arik Cannon!!
[ Love him or hate him, the crowd does love his entrance music as “I’m shipping up to Boston” by Dropkick Murphy’s rings across the stadium as the red headed Irish fighter marches down to the ring pissed off with his hands all taped up. He stomps up the stairs and climbs through the ropes ripping his leather jacket off and tossing it to ringside. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Cannon had a very good first round match against Ace Romero, and then took advantage of Prophet in the second round to sneak by. He now finds himself in a much tougher match against Mexico’s living legend Caristico!!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – If Cannon can clip the wings of Caristico and keep him grounded, then this kid has got a shot.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent, weighing in at 180 lbs., “The Mexican Sensation” Caristico!!!
[ The sold-out crowd goes ape shit as “Me Muero” by La 5A Estación explodes throughout the arena and the Mexican superstar struts out on stage. He makes his way down to the ring high fiving fans and kisses the ladies along the way. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Caristico had a much tougher road to travel as he first eliminated Tiger King and then moved on to take out Chandler Hopkins.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – This guy is a five-tool player here in the Empire. There will be gold around this kid’s waist in the future.
[ Caristico stands in one corner while Cannon stands in the other, waiting on the bell to sound before finally tying up. The two of them shove back and forth for the early control, which Cannon manages to take by pulling Caristico into a hammerlock! He wrenches on the hold as Caristico looks for an escape, suddenly dropping down and then catching Cannon with a fireman’s carry takeover right into a seated headlock. Cannon isn’t about to let up, managing to get his legs up around Caristico’s skull with a head scissors to free himself! He squeezes them together to inflict as much punishment to Caristico as possible, yet Caristico is able to twist Cannon onto his front and slip his head free. He pops back to his feet while still holding the legs of his opponent, stepping on the back of his knees before securing the legs against his own and then grinding his fists into Cannon’s kidneys, allowing him to capture both arms and then rock backwards with a Mexican surfboard! Caristico holds Cannon up in the air for several moments as the referee asks if he wants to give it up, but when he refuses, Caristico puts him back down on his knees before switching up to a pseudo-dragon sleeper. This is some highly impressive technical wrestling from Caristico, again wearing Cannon down! Cannon still refuses to give up however, somehow managing to free his legs before twisting himself around into more of a front face-lock while still caught up in Caristico’s grip, taking that opportunity to rise and then drive Caristico back into the corner. That’s where they remain as the referee steps in and tries to call for the clean break, seemingly getting it as Caristico lets go of Cannon while Cannon backs off with hands raised only to suddenly hit a thumb to the eye! The fans boo as Cannon quickly seizes on the opportunity, threading Caristico’s arm between his legs and delivering a pump-handle neck-breaker! ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – I hate to say it but Cannon is going to have to use every dirty play in the book to take Caristico out!!
[ Rather than make the cover, Cannon proceeds to take Caristico by the hand, manipulating the wrist joint with a sick grin on his face. The fans continue to let him know what they think about him as Cannon now spreads the fingers before snapping them apart, leaving Caristico kicking the mat in agony. Cannon ignores the referee’s warnings to then take that hand again, bending it backwards and leaving it wedged awkwardly against the mat before suddenly stomping on it as hard as he can! Cannon looks extremely pleased with himself as Caristico rolls to the side of the ring in agony, trying to shake off the pain. Cannon soon comes up after him though, grabbing a handful of face mask and dragging Caristico back to his feet, landing some stiff European uppercuts to back him into the ropes. Cannon then delivers an Irish whip before catching Caristico with a dropkick on the return and then making the cover …1 …2 …and Caristico kicks out at two!!! ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Ground and pound! Ground and pound!! That’s the key to Cannon’s ability to win this match tonight!!
[ Cannon transitions into a neck vice, looking almost as if he’s trying to pull Caristico’s head clean off his shoulders! Caristico refuses to give in though, resulting in some stiff elbows to the neck before Cannon yanks him back up and then pauses to taunt the crowd before looking to hit a big rolling release suplex only for Caristico to somehow catch him in mid-air with a huricanrana! That gives the fans something to cheer as both men clamber back to their feet again. Cannon rushes in and swinging for a clothesline but Caristico ducks the shot and then lands a step-up enziguri when he turns back around! Cannon looks to be on dream street as he somehow stays upright, while Caristico lets out a roar and hits the ropes opposite, coming back with a huge double knee strike that sends his opponent tumbling through the ropes and out to the ringside floor! Caristico looks as if he hasn’t finished there either, taunting Cannon to get back to his feet before once more coming off the ropes opposite before delivering a huge topé con hilo out of the ring, bowling right through Cannon! ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – What a suicide dive by Caristico putting his body on the line for a shot at the World title!!
[ Caristico rises to his feet, shaking off the pain in his fingers before pulling Cannon up and rolling him back inside the ring. Caristico then hops onto the apron and heads to the corner, climbing to the top but Cannon is back up, cutting Cannon off with a few stiff shots. Cannon then climbs up the corner after Caristico, hooking him up for what could be a super falcon arrow but before Cannon can deliver it, Caristico fights back with some shots to the gut, doubling his opponent over and then diving over him with a sunset bomb out of the corner! Caristico brings Cannon down into the canvas hard, covering him …1 …2 …but Cannon shoots his shoulder off the mat breaking the pin!!! ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Both men have taken huge shots in this match!!
[ It seems as if Caristico isn’t finished yet though, taking him by the arm and pulling Cannon up into a wringer before pulling him right into a short-arm bicycle knee strike! Cannon is once more in a daze as Caristico quickly scoops him onto his shoulders and plants him with a rolling fireman’s carry slam, springing straight up into the corner and then flipping backwards in search of a moonsault but Cannon gets the knees up! Caristico clutches his torso in agony as Cannon desperately attempts to shake off the cobwebs, both men looking worse for wear after this tough battle. They each fight back to their feet, Cannon hitting a European uppercut but then Caristico responds with a forearm smash! Another European uppercut from Cannon and then another forearm smash from Caristico! Uppercut, forearm, uppercut, forearm, they go back and forth trading blows as the crowd goes wild! Just as it looks as if Caristico has finally got Cannon on the ropes, Cannon suddenly goes back to raking Caristico’s eyes again! Boos echo throughout the arena as Cannon now looks as if he’s about to hit a lunging superkick but no Caristico goes to block his head, and Cannon connects with the right knee instead, dropping Caristico and allowing Cannon to hook him by the head, hitting a brainbuster onto his knee!! Cannon tries for the cover …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Caristico kicks out still having some fight left in him! ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – This what Cannon need to do!! Slow down Caristico and wear him down with those big strikes of his!!
[ Cannon is starting to lose his shit now, laying into Caristico with some nasty shots before slowly pulling him back up by his mask. Cannon then lifts Caristico over his shoulders, holding him against his back as he prepares to deliver a kneeling reverse piledriver yet Caristico starts to squirm free, slipping down Cannon’s back and rolling him up from out of nowhere …1 …2 …2 ¾ …and Cannon manages to kick out!! ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Where the fuck is Caristico getting these moves from?!
[ They both fight back to their feet again, Cannon swinging for a clothesline but Caristico ducks under and jumps onto the middle rope, springing off it and landing on Cannon’s shoulders, ready to snap off a reverse huricanrana! Somehow though, Cannon blocks it and this time he connects with that kneeling reverse piledriver! Cannon signals for the end now, heaving Caristico back to his feet and over, looking for the Total Anarchy (sit out spinning side slam)!!! Incredibly though, Caristico swings him around 360° and sending him crashing face first into the middle turnbuckle pad! Cannon coughs for air as he doubles over and tries to get to his feet, but then Caristico leapfrogs over him and climbs to the top rope. Cannon stumbles around on dream street as Caristico leaps off nailing Cannon with the Alamo (a tilt-a-whirl head-scissors off the ropes transitioned into a single arm DDT)!!! Cannon’s eyes roll back in his head as Caristico goes for the pin …1 …2 …3!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The winner of this match, Caristico!!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Fuck me I’m out of breath just watching these two guys!!!
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – We now know one half of the World Heavyweight title match as Caristico now waits to see who the winner will be between Alexander Stone and Boris Drago.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – The match we just saw was a clash of styles. Our next match is going to be a battle of heavyweights.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – You’re right. These two guys are monsters. Drago pushes two hundred and forty-five pounds. Stone is even bigger weighing in over two hundred and fifty pounds. We’re not talking cruiserweights Mike.
[ The cameras swing to the back where Tito Escobar can be seen still in his wrestling gear admonishing the tag team known as Los Vipers. Quickly, Cindy Meyers rushes in with microphone in hand. ]
Cindy Meyers – Tito Escobar, congratulations on your big win tonight and good luck next week at the ppv as you battle Kahagas and Joey Ryan for the United States Heavyweight title.
“Relentless” Tito Escobar – Congratulations? You’re congratulating me like there was any doubt that I was going to beat those two idiots!! Let me tell you something Cindy, I am destined to wear gold in this company!! I am Tito Escobar …the greatest Mexican wrestler in this company today!!!
Cindy Meyers – That may be a controversial statement considering that Caristico …
“Relentless” Tito Escobar – Caristico? Caristico? Caristico is nothing compared to me and I’ll prove it to you …no …to the whole world when I take home the United States Heavyweight title and rename it the Mexican Heavyweight title.
Cindy Meyers – Well …I’m not sure you can do that but, may I ask you what’s going on with the three of you?
[ Cindy looks back at Los Vipers who seem to have taken a back seat to Escobar. ]
“Relentless” Tito Escobar – I’ve tried to give my Mexican brethren some help in the ring, but they refuse to listen to me and my teachings. So in saying that Cindy, there’s nothing going on between the three of us …(and he looks back at Los Vipers) …is there?
[ And Escobar storms off leaving Los Vipers standing there looking dumbfounded after another tough loss tonight. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – I guess that settles that. He’s trying to help these kids out, and like all kids today they think they know more than their teacher does so fuck’em.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – I’m not so sure that’s what he means by teaching them. Hopefully these kids can figure it out without this narcissist’s help.
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Well here we go buddy. The main event match is just moments away!!! Alexander Stone versus Boris Drago with the winner moving on to Crossfire next week for all the fucking marbles.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – This is going to be money Mike!!! Two huge titans clashing in the center of the ring!!! I’m getting goose bumps just thinking about it!!
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – The following match is set for one fall and it is a third-round match in the World Heavyweight title tournament! Making his way to the ring, weighing in at 245 lbs., “The Russian Bear” Boris Drago!!
[ The fans don’t know what to make of this guy as “Far from the start” by Timati and L’One plays as the Russian monster power walks down to the ring with a black hoodie pulled over his head so that we cannot see his face. He climbs into the ring and rips off the hood screaming out in a primal yell. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – This guy’s is a beast Chris. He took out STIXX in the first round and then Tito Escobar in round two tom advance to the third round.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Let’s not kid ourselves. This guy’s good, but he also got tied up in the feud between STIXX and Escobar. That helped him a ton to get to this point.
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And his opponent, making his way to the ring, weighing in at 251 lbs. “Pure Gold” Alexander Stone!!
[ “Hyperpower” by Nine Inch Nails blares across the arena as Stone marches down to the ring and the sold-out crowd boos the shit out of him. He takes off his robes off along the way and tossing it to the floor. He rolls under the bottom rope and smiles at Drago mouthing to him that his run at the World title is over!!! ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – This guy oozes charisma. I may not like his attitude, but the guy’s got World Champ written all over him.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – I think he’s a cocky asshole. Just saying.
[ Drago rings his wrists around in one corner while Stone stands stoically in the other. As the bell sounds neither man is quick to make a move, instead opting to watch his opponent. Finally, Drago is on the move, walking beside the ropes as Stone remains in his corner, his eyes following Drago. You can tell Drago is itching though and he's had enough. He runs at Stone and leaps at hit him with a flying forearm in the face before pummeling with more shots, backing the bigger man into the corner. Drago whips Stone across the ring by Stone drops down and slides along the mat, turning easily and rushing back at a surprised Drago. Stone launches at Drago, hitting him with a body attack, causing the smaller man to fly back into the corner. Stone is on him immediately, reaching his large hands out and wrapping them around Drago’s neck as Drago kicks wildly trying to get free. Stone has relinquished the choke after the referee’s insistence, now deciding to bury a knee into the gut of Drago. Then another. And one more! Drago is practically folded up between the top two turnbuckles until Stone wrenches him out and pushes him down to the mat. Stone slithers down himself into the cover …1 …and Drago kicks out almost immediately. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Quick cover by Stone leads me to think that he’s just playing with his food.
[ Stone just smiles that cocky smile of his as Drago sits up. Stone lashes out and wraps his arm around Drago's throat in a headlock, forcing Drago back down to the mat. After a beat though Drago nips up, out of the headlock. He only stays on his feet a second, leaping back and hitting an unsuspecting Stone with a standing Pele Kick that rocks Stone! Drago grabs Stone by his tights pulling him into a roll-up for the cover …1 …2 …and Stone pushes Drago off him pissed off that kick caught him off-guard. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – You think Stone will take Drago more seriously now?
[ Drago backs off into the corner while Stone gets to his knees. Drago lunges forward with a superkick onto a kneeling Stone! Stone drops to the mat rocked as Drago goes for another cover …1 …2 …and Stone kicks out again pushing Drago up and off of him. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – That superkick nearly took Stones head off. Drago needs to stay on him.
[ As Stone pushes himself up though Drago leaps, wrapping his arms around Stone's head from behind with the sleeper hold! Stone’s arms flail a bit trying to snatch Drago but they won't reach. So instead, Stone grabs both of Drago's legs and leaps high in the air, leaning back so he brings all his weight down onto Drago driving Drago into the mat with a back body drop! That forces Drago to release the hold and Stone grabs Drago’s leg pinning the big man’s shoulders to the mat …1 …2 …and Drago kicks out! ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Nice counter by Stone breaking out of that Sleeper hold with the big back body drop and rolling the big Russian up with the pin attempt.
[ This brings another smile to “Pure Gold”. Stone remains on his knees, shooting his arms out and looking up to the heavens, screaming "Pure Gold Baby!!!” A devilish smirk and a dark gleam in his eyes. Stone gets up and stalks Drago. Once Drago gets to his feet and turns around though Stone is there, grabbing Drago's head and pulling him down and around in the position for the Stonebreaker (suplex lift into a spinning sidewalk slam) but Drago quickly pushes away though, instead taking a step back before leaping forward with a sweeping kick to the side of Stones jaw that drives him to the mat! Drago drops down for the cover …1 …2 …2 ½ …and Stone finds the strength to kick out. ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Nice counter by Drago getting out of Stone’s finisher. The big Russian did his scouting.
[ Drago gets up, running a hand through his hair wondering how much more it’s going to take to pin Stone. He steps up beside Stone and leaps, dropping the elevated elbow drop down onto the big man's sternum! Drago goes for the cover again …1 …2 …and Stone rips his shoulder off the mat. Drago pounds his hands on the mat and hooks the leg again …1 …1 ½ …and Stone kicks out. Drago looks pissed as the referee confirms that Stone got his shoulder up. Drago grabs both of Stone’s legs and rolls him up …1 …and again Stone powers out. ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Frustration is really setting with the big Russian as he glares at the referee who puts one finger in the air.
[ Drago slams the mat in frustration as he gets up and steps back and circles Stone, running both hands through his hair wiping the sweat out of his eyes. Stone gets up to his feet as Drago charges in going for a big boot to Stone’s. Stone sees it coming and ducks it, hooks the sweeping leg and nails Drago with a Dragon Screw Leg Whip tearing Drago’s knee apart! ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Holy shit I could hear Drago’s knee popping out the socket from where we sit. That is the most sickening sound I have ever heard!!
[ Drago screams on the mat clutching his right knee. Stone grabs Drago’s right leg and decimates it with repeated kicks to the back of his leg!! The crowd goes crazy as Stone drives an elbow across Drago’s knee methodically tearing it apart!! ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – That right leg of Drago has a bug fucking bullseye on it!! Stone is hell bent on destroying it.
[ Stone smirks as he lets Drago crawl toward the ropes, reaching up and dragging his broken body to his feet gingerly trying to stay off the leg that Stone has targeted. Drago tries to put weight on the right leg, but Stone explodes at him taking the right leg out with a chop block!! ]
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – Oh my God this kid may never be the same again!! His wrestling career might be over.
[ Drago screams in pain clutching his right knee as Stone demands the referee ask Drago if he wants to quit. The referee does just that, but Drago refuses to give up. Stone’s face gets dead serious as he charges in and drives a boot unmercifully right across Drago’s head. Drago drops to the mat, his eyes rolling back in his head. Stone grabs Drago’s limp body and hoists him in the air and drives him back down to the mat with the Stonebreaker (suplex lift into a spinning sidewalk slam)!!! Stone rolls up Drago for the win …1 …2 …3!!! ]
“The Jamaican Jew” Harvey Weinstein – And the winner of this match, “Pure Gold” Alexander Stone!!!
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – I gotta be honest, Drago gave Stone everything he had; but this kid is cut from a different cloth. He’s a different bread.
“The Messiah” Chris Simmons – He sure is. You might not like what he says, or how he gets the job done; but this kid fucking backs up everything he says.
[ Stone screams at Weinstein, reaching through the ropes; demanding the mic from him. Harvey not wanting to piss Stone off hands him the microphone. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Drago, nice try, but get the fuck out of my ring.
[ With the referee’s help Drago is helped back up the ramp and to the backstage area. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – So here we go. Just like I prophesized Alexander Stone has punched his ticket to Crossfire and I am just one step away from taking what is mine!! The World Heavyweight title!!
[ Stone looks right into the camera. ]
“Pure Gold” Alexander Stone – Caristico, just like the three ass clowns before you; things at Crossfire are going to end the same way with me standing over your broken body!! But you know what? Fuck waiting for Crossfire!! Get your ass down here right now and we can end this!!
[ The crowd explodes to their feet as Caristico walks out onto the rampway, his arms out wide ready to fight for the World title here and now!! ]
“Crazy Man” Mike Thompson – Folks, we’re out of fucking time!! See you at Crossfire!!!
[ The show goes off the air as the Crossfire banner appears. ]
