MELTDOWN RESULTS

 

 

(The GCW logo flashes on the screen, as Meltdown begins.  Scenes from Heatwave play as we prepare for the show.)

 

Bryan-  Wait, Toad takes off from the top!  TOAD JAM ON THE CHAMP!  Toad hits the Toad Jam on the World Champion!  And Reed could have it here!  Toad pulls Reed on top of Rollins!

 

Yale-  ONE!  TWO!!  NO!  Eric Allen hits an elbow drop of Reed from the top!  Rollins narrowly escapes defeat!  Reed and Rollins are both hurting!  But here comes Toad again!  Toad goes after Allen, while Hanson has Toxic on the other side!

 

Bryan-  Hanson lifts Toxic up, and delivers that mean underhook powerbomb!  Toxic is down and out, and Hanson now has his sights set on Rollins!  Rollins is slowly climbing to his feet, but Hanson is stalking him!

 

Yale-  Wait, Rollins turns. . . Superkick!  Rollins senses Hanson coming, and hits a superkick on the Fueler!  Hanson is down, but Reed is rising!  Allen is trying to break free from Toad, but Toad has him in a bear hug!

 

Bryan-  Rollins turns to Reed, but Reed scoops him up!  WAIT A MINUTE!  WAIT A MINUTE!  Cradle Tombstone!!!  Reed hits a cradle tombstone on Rollins!  Toad has Allen held back!  Toxic is down!

 

Yale-  Reed covers Rollins!  Don’t tell me. . . One!  TWO!  THREE!!?!?!!!!!

 

(The crowd explodes with one of the greatest reactions ever.  Reed collapses in exhaustion, as Toad tosses Allen out of the ring.  Toad helps Hanson up, and they raise Reed’s arms.  Reed is handed the CWU title belt as the crowd cheers him on.)

 

Andrews-  Here is your winner, and NEW GCW Heavyweight Champion. . . John Reed!

 

Bryan-  Reed has done it!  GCW has destroyed the CWU here tonight!  What a night!  What an upset!

 

(The camera once again flashes the GCW logo, followed by the Meltdown theme.  The camera hits the arena, where the Houston crowd is going wild.  Signs disparaging the CWU litter the arena as Meltdown begins.)

 

Bryan-  A new era has begun in GCW, and it all started at Heatwave!  Thank you for joining us here on this historic night, fans.  Heatwave was an incredible event, and we hope to follow it up with another here tonight.

 

Yale-  GCW struck back decisively at Heatwave, JB, and it looks like the CWU is gone for good!  In what was one of the greatest upsets of all time, John Reed defeated Rich Rollins for the World Title, and brought it back to our side!

 

Bryan-  It was an amazing match, as was the entire night!  Big Daddy Dero did manage to defeat President Caldera at Heatwave in the street fight!  But he and Heckler turned their backs on the ACWF, and reformed the legendary group, the Core of Destruction!

 

Yale-  Commissioner Octavian defeated the Jhub in a bloody battle for the Commissionership, as well, and Tristain Mayhem proved his amazing ability by defeating LeStatt Knight in that ladder match!

 

Bryan-  Knight was injured in that match, fans, but how severely we’re not sure of yet.  We’ll update you on his condition as we get the news.  Well, fans, it’s time to head to ringside, where a special presentation is to be held in the ring!

 

(Master of Puppets hits, and the crowd awaits someone’s arrival.  President Caldera steps out into the arena, and the crowd begins to cheer.  Caldera’s head is bandaged from his match at Heatwave, but he seems to be in a good mood.  A red carpet has been rolled down the ramp, which Caldera walks on.  He steps into the ring, where a large podium is standing.  A red cloth rests on top of it, and Caldera eyes it with a smile.)

 

Andrews-  Please welcome the President of GCW, Steven Caldera!

 

(Caldera takes a mike from Andrews, and looks out to the crowd.)

 

Caldera-  At Heatwave last Sunday, the armies of GCW defeated those of the ACWF and CWU for the last time.  The world title once again rests in the hands of GCW, the hands of John Reed.

 

(The crowd goes crazy at the mention of the name.)

 

Caldera-  And so, tonight, we have prepared a little ceremony for Mr. Reed.  But before we bring him out, I’d like to introduce the man who, at Heatwave, remained Commissioner of GCW. . . Octavian!

 

(The crowd goes crazy as Might of Rome hits.  Octavian slowly struts to the ring, his head also bandaged.  He wears a nice suit, despite his match with Rollins later.  The commissioner steps into the ring, and takes another mike from Andrews.)

 

Octavian-  Thank you, thank you.  At Heatwave, I showed that insignificant Jhub the fury that lies in this Roman’s heart.  The ACWF and CWU was sacked at Heatwave, and tonight, we are proud to present this ceremony in favor of John Reed.  And so, without further ado, I would like to introduce the Heavyweight Champion of the World. . . John Reed!!

 

(The crowd explodes as Break Stuff hits.  After a moment, Luke Hanson, Toad, Mike Hardy, and Rachel Reed appear.  The crowd goes crazy as they spot System-X., but still wonder where Reed is.  Finally, the System members point to the entrance, where John Reed, limping slightly, emerges.  He wears the CWU title belt over his left shoulder, his tag belt over his right.  System-X proudly walks to the ring.  Hanson holds the ropes for Rachel, then for John.  The System climbs into the ring, as the crowd continues to cheer with all their might.  Octavian hands his microphone to Toad, who smiles at the crowd.)

 

Toad-  Hello, Toad fans!

 

(The crowd cheers.)

 

Toad-  Now, I’m not about to come out here and hog all the airtime from my good buddy John.  But there is one thing I’d like to say first.  At Heatwave, there was only one major problem.  And that’s the fact that Jason Dread is still wearing my Hard*core belt!  I may be half of the tag team champions, but I still want that damn hard*core title back!

 

(The crowd cheers.)

 

Toad-  Well, enough about that. . . Back to John.  I suppose we could hand the microphone to Mr. Mike Hardy, the Cruiserweight champ. . .

 

(The camera zooms in on Hardy, who wears a big smile.)

 

Toad-  Or we could head over to your  favorite jackass and mine. . . Luke Hanson!

 

(Hanson glares at Toad, but finally breaks out with a smile.)

 

Toad-  Or we could just go straight to the man himself. . . John Reed!

 

(The crowd cheers enthusiastically for Reed, and Toad finally gives in.  Toad hands the microphone to Reed, which earns a loud reaction.  Reed smiles, and waits for the cheers to die.  Caldera and Octavian applaud with the fans as they stand in a corner.)

 

Reed-  I have to say, from the bottom of my heart. . . Thank you.  Thank you to everyone in this ring, everyone in the crowd, and everyone watching at home.  Thanks to my fans and my friends, I have reached the top of the world.  I’ve dreamt of this all my life, and I’m finally here.  So thank you, all of you.

 

(The crowd applauds warmly.)

 

Reed-  Now, first matter of business, Luke, you gave me a run for my money in that number one contender’s match, and I’m sure you’d have taken this belt from Rollins like I did.  So I would like to ask a favor.  As long as I’m world champion. . . I’d like to ask that you take my tag team belt, and defend it with Toad for me.

 

(Reed extends his tag belt to Hanson.  Hanson looks at Reed questioningly for a moment, but finally takes it.  The crowd cheers as Hardy helps Hanson strap the belt on.)

 

Bryan-  Every System member is holding gold now!

 

Reed-  Now, I plan on being a fighting champion.  And so, I need to decide on who gets the first title shot.  Luke, you could have been world champion as easily as me. . . So I think it’s only fair-

 

Caldera-  Hold on a minute, John.  Before you go any further, I think we need to take care of something.  You are the GCW world champion, yet you are carrying the CWU title belt.  So, if you would be so kind as to hand it to me. . .

 

(Reed looks confused.  Cautiously, he hands Caldera the CWU belt.  Caldera hands it back to Octavian, and then walks to the podium in the center of the ring.)

 

Caldera-  As GCW champion, you need to be carrying the GCW belt.  And so, John Reed. . .

 

(Caldera pulls the red cloth off of the podium, revealing an incredible gold belt.  The belt shines in the light, and is truly impressive.)

 

Caldera-  I present to you the new GCW World Title belt! 

 

(Caldera hands Reed the belt.  Reed takes it with a smile, and walks to the turnbuckle.  He steps to the second rope, and holds the belt up to be seen.  Camera flashes explode from the Houston crowd, capturing the image forever.)

 

Octavian-  Now, before you go, John, there’s just one more thing we have to do.

 

(Reed hops down, and Octavian presses through the System members to approach him.  Octavian extends his hand, and Reed takes it.  The crowd cheers as they shake.  However, as Reed pulls away, Octavian holds on and pulls him back.  Toad, Hardy, and Hanson jump at Octavian, but Reed calls them off.)

 

Octavian-  The CWU is gone now.  And before you go off handing out title shots, maybe you should remember the man, President Caldera, who pays your checks every month.  And maybe you should remember the man who gave you that title shot in the first place. . . me.  Don’t forget those of us who really made this possible.  Now that you’re champion, everyone in the back wants a shot at you.  And a few of us in the ring want a shot.  So you just be careful what you say when you say you’ll be a fighting champion.  Because I may just take you up on that.

 

(The crowd seems hushed as Reed and Octavian stare each other down.  Octavian shakes Reed’s hand once more, as Break Stuff hits.  Caldera steps between Reed and Octavian, pushing Octavian away.  Reed poses with his new belt once more, and finally walks out with the System.)

 

Bryan-  Well, it seems like party time is already over for John Reed!  The world champion does hold the one thing everyone wants, and it seems like the Commissioner may have already taken an interest in Reed’s newfound glory!

 

Yale-  Well, Octavian has held that belt once before, I’m sure he’d like to hold it again!  But for now, Reed is going to have his day!

 

(The show fades to commercial as Reed and System-X head to the back.)

 

(Meltdown returns, and we head backstage.  Dan Rivero is standing with Kevin Jacobs, and he is holding his TV title belt.)

 

Jacobs-  Dan Rivero, last Sunday night you defeated Heckler and Zippy to become the new Television champion.  But after Heatwave, the eWa seemed to exchange some rather heated words.  What is the status of the eWa?

 

Rivero-  The eWa never did me a bit of good.  Just a bunch of cry babies whining about not being recognized.  Well, boys, the difference between you and me is that you guys cry that you aren’t getting noticed. . . While I go out there an make myself get noticed.  You have to make your own fame in this business, and that’s what I did at Heatwave.  So Knight, Stone. . . Good luck, boys.  The Man is running solo.

 

(Rivero walks off, smiling with his TV belt.  Jacobs watches him go, as we return to the ringside area.  Beautiful People hits, and Katanya emerges.  The crowd boos her as she heads to the ring.)

 

Andrews-  The following contest, set for one fall, is for the GCW Women’s championship!  Introducing first, the challenger. . . Katanya!

 

(Katanya steps through the ropes, and glares at the crowd.  Real American hits next, and the crowd begins to cheer loudly.  Gidget emerges, followed by the former TV champion Zippy.  She drags her belt behind her, seeming to be involved in an argument with Zippy.)

 

Andrews-  And her opponent, the Women’s champion. . . Gidget!

 

Bryan-  What’s this?  It looks like the women’s champion and the former TV champion are arguing about something!  

 

Yale-  They’re always arguing about something, JB.

 

(Gidget finally blows Zippy off and climbs into the ring.  Zippy, confused, heads to the announce table.)

 

Yale-  Oh, no, don’t tell me he’s coming over here. . .

 

(The bell rings, and the match starts.  Zippy tenderly sits down in a chair next to Yale, and an attendant helps him get a set of headphones on.)

 

Bryan-  Well, we’re being joined here by Zippy, as this match begins!  Gidget is charged by Katanya, who takes her right down with a clothesline!  

 

Zippy-  Hey, guys. . . Have you seen my orange soda?

 

Yale-  We don’t have any orange soda out here!!  Katanya lifts Gidget up, and sends her into the ropes!  Gidget bounces back, and Katanya takes her over with a headscissors!  Great move!

 

Bryan-  Zippy, at Heatwave, you lost your TV title.  Any plans to get it back?

 

Zippy-  Emma told me that if I don’t get it back then I won’t get any orange soda.  But I don’t know where my title is.  People keep telling me I lost it, so I’ve been looking everywhere for it. . .

 

Yale-  Oh, for the love of. . . Katanya lays in a few knife-edge chops, and now boots Gidget in the gut!  Katanya really wants to win that title!  She sends Gidget across the ring, and follows her in!  But Gidget hits the corner and gets out of the way!

 

Bryan-  Katanya runs chest first into the turnbuckle, and Gidget dropkicks her in the back of the skull!  Great move!

 

Zippy-  Have you guys seen my title?

 

Yale-  Dan Rivero has it, Zippy.

 

Zippy-  Rivero?

 

Yale-  Rivero.

 

Zippy-  Must find Dan Rivero.  Must get orange soda. . .

 

Bryan-  Gidget covers Katanya. . . ONE!  TWO!!  Kickout!

 

(Zippy sets his headphones down with a thud, but trips over the wire on his way up.  He stands back up again, and walks back up the ramp.  The whole way he mutters to himself. . . Find Rivero. . .)

 

Yale-  Where is that idiot going?

 

Bryan-  Wait, in the ring, Gidget has Katanya down in the ring!  Gidget takes off from the top. . . ZIP Flip!  Huge moonsault from Gidget!  ONE!  TWO!  THREE!!!  It’s over!

 

(The crowd cheers as the bell rings.  Gidget is handed her belt, but she spots Zippy leaving and chases after him.)

 

Andrews-  Here is your winner, and STILL GCW Women’s Champion. . . Gidget!

 

Bryan-  Well, Gidget is still the women’s champion, and it seems as though Zippy has his targets set on Dan Rivero!

 

Yale-  I can’t stand the ZIP crew!  I hope Rivero destroys that idiot!

 

Bryan-  Well, fans, stick around, because later tonight, Rich Rollins meets Octavian in what should be a brutal bout!

 

(The show fades to commercial as the referee helps Katanya up.)

 

(We return to the show, and we head to ringside.  The Small Hours hits, and the crowd erupts in cheers.  Tristain Mayhem emerges to an incredible response, and he struts to the ring with his title belt.)

 

Andrews-  Please welcome the GCW United States Champion. . . Tristain Mayhem!

 

Bryan-  Well, fans, Mayhem had a brutal battle with LeStatt Knight in the ladder match at Heatwave, and despite the damage both men sustained in that match, Mayhem managed to retain his title.

 

Yale-  Let’s not forget the match he had with Commissioner Octavian at Oblivion!  He took the former world champion to the limit, and even ended up saving Octavian in the end from the sharpshooter!

 

Bryan-  There certainly is some mutual respect there between Octavian and Mayhem!  But for now, let’s see what the champ has to say.

 

(Mayhem takes the microphone from Andrews, and looks out at the crowd.)

 

Mayhem-  What’s up. . . Where are we again?

 

(The crowd shouts ‘Houston!’)

 

Mayhem-  What’s up, Houston?!

 

(The crowd erupts again.)

 

Mayhem-  Well, yours truly managed to hold on to this little title here at Heatwave, after a match that I thoroughly enjoyed with LeStatt Knight.  But it seems now that Mr. Knight has been put out of commission for a while, and I am without a challenger for this belt.

 

(Fans shout names like Hardy, Hanson, and Toad as potential challengers.)

 

Mayhem-  I want someone big to fight for this thing.  I want someone who deserves it.  Someone who will give me a better fight than Mr. Knight.  I want someone. . . Important.

 

(Again, the fans shout suggestions.)

 

Mayhem-  And I think I know the guy I want.  But you’ll just have to wait and see.  But for now, I think I’ll scout some competition. . . So I’ll just join JB and David Yale for commentary!

 

(The crowd cheers as Mayhem steps out of the ring.  He walks to the announce table and sits next to Yale, who again sighs at their uninvited guest.)

 

Bryan-  Well, we’re being joined by the United States Champion here, Tristain Mayhem, as we get ready for another matchup.

 

(  hits, and Great Tiger emerges from the back.  The crowd gives the newcomer little response on the way down.)

 

Andrews-  The following contest is set for one fall.  Introducing first, from parts unknown, he weighs in at 280 pounds. . . Great Tiger!

 

Yale-  Here comes this newcomer, Great Tiger!  He seems like a hot new prospect, let’s see what he can do.

 

(Tiger steps into the ring, as Eric Allen then appears on the ramp.  The crowd boos him as he silently heads to the ring.)

 

Andrews-  And his opponent, from Atlanta, Georgia, he weighs in at 235 pounds. . . Eric ‘All That’ Allen!

 

Bryan-  And Eric Allen, who came over as part of the CWU, may now be floating free!  Who knows where this guy could go if he realizes his potential!

 

Mayhem-  Absolutely.  Allen and Tiger both look like they have potential, but they’re going to have to turn it on to get it done.

 

(Allen steps into the ring, and the bell sounds.)

 

Bryan-  Well, here we go!  Tiger stands motionless in the corner, as does Allen!  Finally, both men charge the center!  Allen lets go with a clothesline, but Tiger ducks!  Allen turns around, and gets a knife-edge chop!

 

Yale-  Tiger chops him again, and again!  Allen is taken off guard, as Tiger hits the ropes!  He returns only to get a back elbow from Allen!  Tiger goes down, as Allen now hits the ropes!

 

Bryan-  Tiger stays down, and Allen hops over him!  Tiger nips up!  Allen hits the other side, and Great Tiger takes Allen down with a high leg clothesline!  This Great Tiger is nimble for a bigger man!

 

Mayhem-  Damn, man, this guy’s quick.

 

Yale-  Tiger covers Allen, but Allen kicks out before the referee can count!  Tiger lifts Allen to his feet, and sends him into the turnbuckle!  Tiger charges in, and flies with a high clothesline!  He connects, but soars over the top rope!

 

Bryan-  And he lands on his feet on the apron!  Amazing!  Allen stumbles out of the corner, and Tiger hops onto the top turnbuckle!  Tiger takes off, and hits Allen in the back of the skull with a dropkick! 

 

Mayhem-  That’s impressive. 

 

Yale-  Allen is down, but Great Tiger isn’t going for the cover!  Tiger lifts Allen up, but Allen nails Tiger with a low blow!  That’ll stop anybody!  Allen stands and hooks Tiger!  He lifts Tiger up. . . Piledriver!

 

Bryan-  Big move there, and that could be it!  Allen covers!  ONE!  TWO!  THR-  Kickout!  How the hell did Great Tiger kick out of a piledriver?

 

Mayhem-  That moves hurts, too, man.

 

Yale-  Allen seems angry at the count, as he tries to put this newcomer away!  Allen lifts Tiger up, ands sends him into the ropes!  Tiger bounces back, and Allen tosses him HIGH overhead with a back body drop!

 

Bryan-  But Tiger turns all the way over and lands on his feet!  What agility!  Allen turns around, and Tiger kicks him in the gut!  He bends Allen over, and hooks his arms!  But Allen takes Tiger’s legs out from under him, and drops back!  Slingshot into the corner!

 

Yale-  It looks like Tiger was going for a TigerDriver there, but Allen counters!  Tiger hits the turnbuckle and bounces out, as Allen sets him up for a clothesline!  Allen charges in!

 

Bryan-  But Tiger counters!  He steps to the side, and wrenches Allen down by the arm!  Tiger hooks the head. . . And he’s got a modified crossface on Allen!  Tiger has a crossface on Allen!

 

Yale-  Allen is nowhere near the ropes!  This could be it!  Allen is screaming in pain, as he reaches for the ropes. . . But he’s got nowhere to go!  Allen taps out!  What a victory for this newcomer!

 

(The bell rings, and the crowd actually begins to cheer.  Great Tiger holds the crossface a few moments after the match, but releases him after a moment.)

 

Andrews-  Here is your winner, Great Tiger!

 

Bryan-  That’s got to be an upset!

 

Mayhem-  I’ll say.  Eric Allen is a tough cookie, even if I could kick his ass.

 

Bryan-  Great Tiger has defeated Eric Allen here in his debut!  Allen is on a bit of a losing streak!

 

(Tiger does not stop to have his arm raised.  He adjusts his mask and walks to the back, never showing a bit of emotion.)

 

Yale-  It’ll be interesting to see this new guy in the coming weeks!  We’ll be right back!

 

(The show fades to commercial as Allen sits up in the ring.)

 

(Meltdown returns, and we head backstage.  Capo is standing with Kevin Jacobs in front of the GCW banner.)

 

Jacobs-  Capo, you now stand one and one lifetime against Mike Hardy.  You failed to capture the cruiserweight belt against Hardy at Heatwave. . . What now?

 

Capo-  What now?  I’ll tell you what now.  Now I’m gonna find that little punk and beat the crap out of him, that’s what now.  I’m gonna keep beating the crap out of him until either I pin him in the ring for that belt, or he hands it over to me for fear of another beating!  Hardy, this isn’t over between you and me.  It’s far from over.  So you enjoy your little belt for now, because the Capo is coming for it.

 

(Capo walks away, as Jacobs stares blankly.  The camera fades back to ringside.)

 

Bryan-  Well, fans, Heatwave was a huge success, and we thank all the fans who saw it on Pay-Per-View.  Of course, now we look to the future.  GCW FallOut will come to you live from the already sold out Fleet Center in Boston!

 

Yale-  That should be a great event, JB.  I can’t wait!  I mean, what’s going to happen to John Reed now?  And how about the guys who were once the CWU?  I can’t wait to see it.

 

Bryan-  Thank you for joining us here on Meltdown, we’re sold out here in Houston, and this crowd seems ready to go!

 

(Fat Lip hits, and the crowd boos.  Toxic emerges from the back, and heads to the ring.)

 

Andrews-  The following contest is set for one fall.  Introducing first, from San Jose, California, he weighs in at 295 pounds. . . Toxic!

 

Bryan-  Two big men will be squaring off here in a very important match!

 

(Toxic steps into the ring, and glares at the crowd.  Natural One hits next, and the crowd reacts with both boos and cheers.  Big Daddy Dero emerges next, stepping out onto the stage.  With a smirk he heads to the ring.)

 

Andrews-  And his opponent, from Atlanta, Georgia, he weighs in at 313 pounds. . . Big Daddy Dero!

 

Yale-  Dero is undefeated here in GCW, and now with his cOd stable, there may be no stopping him!

 

Bryan-  Dero and the Heckler did brutally assault President Caldera and even Mr. Danger at Heatwave, and it seems as though Dero was simply seeking revenge on Danger for his betrayal in the ACWF!

 

Yale-  Dero steps through the ropes, and he meets head on with Toxic!  The bell rings, and this match is underway!  Dero and Toxic stare each other down, and Dero fires off the first punch!  Toxic returns it!

Bryan-  Two big men slugging it out here, and it looks like Dero is getting the best of it!  Dero whips Toxic into the ropes, and catches him on the way back with a shoulder block!  But both men stay up!

 

Yale-  Now both Dero and Toxic hit the ropes, and charge the center!  Both men swing clotheslines, and both men connect!  Dero and Toxic both go down, as the referee begins the ten count!

 

Bryan-  But both men are recovering now, and it looks like Toxic is the first one up!  Toxic hits the ropes, but Dero catches him on the way back with a big boot to the face!  Down goes Toxic!

 

Yale-  Big move from Dero!  But Toxic is getting up again!  Dero drops an elbow to Toxic’s back, and Toxic isn’t rising any more!  Dero turns Toxic over, and covers!  ONE!  TWO!  Kickout!

 

Bryan-  Dero doesn’t waste any time now in lifting Toxic up again!  Dero sends Toxic into the ropes, and Toxic bounces back!  Dero ducks for a back body drop, but Toxic sees it coming and hooks the top rope!

 

Yale-  Smart move by Toxic, who stops dead in his tracks!  Dero walks right back to him, but Toxic snaps off a right hand!  And another!  Toxic has Dero reeling, as he fires away!

 

Bryan- Toxic bounces back off the ropes, and comes in with a clothesline that takes Dero off his feet!  Toxic bounces off the ropes again, and comes back with a leg drop!  Dero is hurting, as Toxic covers!

 

Yale-  One, TWO!  Kickout! 

 

Bryan-  Toxic lifts Dero back up to his feet, and sends him into the turnbuckle!  Dero bounces back out, and Toxic picks him up into a fireman’s carry!

 

(The crowd boos as Toxic looks to be going for the Toxic Waste.)

 

Yale-  Toxic Waste coming!  No!  Dero slides down Toxic’s back, and bends him over!  Dero has Toxic set up for the DeroBomb!  He lifts Toxic high into the air!  It’s over!

 

Bryan-  But Toxic holds on to the top rope!  Dero can’t get him down!  Toxic begins hammering away at Dero’s skull with some mean fists!  And Dero goes down, with Toxic landing on top!

 

Yale-  Toxic has a cover!  ONE!  TWO!! THR-  NO!  Dero was barely able to escape there, as Toxic rolls off in exhaustion!  Toxic picks Dero up again, and sends him into the turnbuckle!

 

Bryan-  Toxic follows him in with a big splash!  Dero is in real trouble here, and may be ready to taste defeat for the first time in GCW!  Toxic sends Dero over to the opposite corner with another Irish whip!

 

Yale-  Dero hits hard, and Toxic charges again!  But Dero explodes out of the corner with another big boot to the face!  Toxic hits it hard and goes flat down!  What a move!

 

(The crowd oohs at the impact.)

 

Bryan-  Dero is down to a knee, however, and can’t capitalize!  He finally stands, and looks down at Toxic!  He raises an arm in the air. . . Time for the DeroBomb!

 

Yale-  Dero lifts Toxic to his feet, and sets him up!  But Toxic takes Dero’s legs out from under him, and the big man is down!  Toxic turns Dero over, and has a single leg crab locked on Dero!  This could be a submission!

 

Bryan-  Toxic has a crab on Dero, and Dero is nowhere near the ropes!  Toxic may have this thing won!  Dero is scrambling for the ropes, and he’s gaining some ground!  He’s almost there. . .

 

Yale-  NO!  Toxic pulls Dero back to the center of the ring!  But Dero turns over in the meantime, and kicks Toxic in the rear!  Toxic loses his grip and flies forward, going through the turnbuckle and hitting the post shoulder first!

 

Bryan-  Toxic staggers out of the corner, hunched over from the impact!  Dero stands, and turns him around!  Wait a minute!  Dero lifts Toxic up!  DEROBOMB!  Third time’s a charm!

 

Yale-  Dero plants Toxic with the DeroBomb!  Cover!  ONE!  TWO!!  THREE!!  It’s over!

 

(The bell rings and Dero gets another enthusiastic mixed reaction.  Natural One plays again, as Dero’s arm is raised.)

 

Andrews-  Here is your winner, Big Daddy Dero!

 

Bryan-  Dero remains undefeated here in GCW, and the former CWU members are 0 for two tonight!

 

Yale-  This isn’t good for the Renegade, I’m afraid!  But for now, Dero will celebrate his victory, as we head over to Barry Goldman.

 

(Goldman is standing a man who is wearing a white jacket.  They are standing in what appears to be a medical examination room.  Behind them are a few x-ray photos.)

 

Goldman-  JB, I’m here at the Ohio State University Hospital in Columbus, just a few minutes from GCW Headquarters.  I’m here with Doctor Jeremy Zane.  We’re trying to get some updates on some of the injuries sustained at Heatwave.

 

Dr. Zane-  Well, as you can see back here, we have x-ray photos from both LeStatt Knight and the Jhub.  Knight suffered a bruised rib, but nothing was broken.  He should be able to get back into action soon.  The Jhub, on the other hand, has suffered a major concussion.  This concussion is just one of several he’s suffered in his career, and it may be career threatening.  The Jhub will go through some more testing this week to see how extensive the damage to his in ring ability is.

 

Goldman-  Thank you, Doctor.

 

(The camera returns to Houston and back to ringside.)

 

Bryan-  Wow.  Octavian and the Jhub had a truly brutal battle at Heatwave, and it would be a real shame to see that young man’s career cut short by that match. 

 

Yale-  Well, he put himself in that position.  Octavian, though. . . he just seems like he’s been more intense as of late.  I mean, he really tortured the Jhub with the Roman Rapper, and he may have ended his career!

 

(We Will Rock you hits, and the crowd begins to boo.  Dimensioner and X-Caliber emerge from the back and head to the ring to capture the tag titles.)

 

Andrews-  The following contest, set for one fall, is for the GCW Tag Team Titles!  Introducing first, at a combined weight of 495 pounds. . . Dimensioner, X-Caliber, the Sick Freaks!

 

Yale-  Well, two more former CWU members will have a shot tonight at redeeming their teammates, as they have another big opportunity at the tag team titles!

 

Bryan-  It should be interesting to see how fluid Toad and Hanson work, as they’ve never really tagged before!

 

(The Freaks hit the ring, and Dimensioner flips off the crowd.  Out With the Old hits next, and the crowd erupts.  Toad and Luke Hanson emerge, waving to the crowd to pump them up.  Toad runs and leaps on Hanson’s back on the way, almost causing Hanson to fall on his face.)

 

Andrews-  And their opponents, at a combined weight of 605 pounds. . . Toad, ‘The Fueler’ Luke Hanson. . .They are the GCW Tag Team Champions. . . System-X!

 

Bryan-  Well, Hanson and Toad seem to be in good spirits here, as they get set to take on the Sick Freaks!

 

Yale-  Toad I’m sure is going to have his sights set on Dimensioner, the man who cost him his coveted Hard*core title!

 

(The System hits the ring, dropping their belts in the ramp.  The bell rings, as Toad goes right for Dimensioner.)

 

Bryan-  Toad and Dimensioner have had a long running feud for that Hard*core title, and here they go right off the bat!  Hanson and X-Caliber take to the apron, as Toad and Dimensioner slug it out!

 

Yale-  These are two really big men going at it!  Toad seems to be getting the best of Dimensioner, as he backs him into the corner!  Toad wails away with some MEAN rights and lefts!  Good Lord, what an assault!

 

Bryan-  Toad is simply beating the crap out of Dimensioner here!  Good gravy!  Rights and lefts, he’s just pummeling Dimensioner!  But here comes X-Caliber in the ring!

 

Yale-  X-Caliber goes right for Toad, but Hanson is in the ring and waiting!  X-Caliber gets derailed with a big boot to the face from the Fueler!  Toad pulls Dimensioner out of the corner, and tosses him to Hanson!  Toad heads up to the top rope, as Hanson lifts up Dimensioner!

 

Bryan-  Hanson lifts Dimensioner up from behind, and he’s got him on his shoulders!  Toad is up top!  Toad takes off with a cross body on Dimensioner from the top rope!  Hanson falls back, and Toad lands right on Dimensioner from the top!

 

Yale-  WHAT A MOVE!  Wow!  This could be it!  ONE!  TWO!!  THREE!!!!  That could be record time!

 

(The bell rings as the crowd goes crazy.  Hanson and Toad are handed their titles, as they stare down at the fallen Freaks.)

 

Andrews-  Here are your winners, and STILL GCW Tag Team champions, Toad and Luke Hanson!

 

Bryan-  What domination from the System!  I guess any question as to the consistency of Hanson and Toad is gone now!  They are going to make a great team!

 

Yale-  I can’t believe a veteran team like the Sick Freaks could have been destroyed like that!  But Hanson and Toad are heading to the back, and they’re still the champions!

 

Bryan-  But I don’t think Toad is done with Dimensioner!  This battle is over, but I don’t think the war will end until Toad has his Hard*core title back!  Jason Dread, watch out!

 

(The show fades to its last commercial as the Freaks walk to the back, defeated.)

 

(Meltdown returns, as the bell tolls three times for the main event.)

 

Andrews-  The following contest is set for one fall!

 

(Might of Rome hits, and the crowd reacts with an explosive mixed reaction.  The Commissioner appears, wearing a gold shirt.  Golden pyro lights up the stage, as Octavian climbs into the ring.)

 

Andrews-  Introducing first, from Rome, Italy, he weighs in at 285 pounds. . . The Commissioner of GCW, Octavian!

 

Bryan-  Well, Octavian may be a little worse for the wear, following that brutal match with the Jhub at Heatwave.

 

Yale-  The Commissioner has his work cut out for him!  It’s the one-time former World Champion Octavian facing off against four-time former World Champion Rich Rollins!

 

(Octavian hops onto the second turnbuckle, staring out at the crowd.  Might of Rome fades out, as the crowd buzzes in anticipation.  Finally, Iron Man begins.  The guitar riff hits, and red pyro explodes from the rafters.  Rich Rollins emerges from the back, as his music is nearly drowned out by the boos.  The Renegade slowly walks to the ring, looking determined to get redemption.)

 

Andrews-  And his opponent, from Chicago, Illinois, he weighs in at 225 pounds. . . Rich ‘The Renegade’ Rollins!

 

Bryan-  The man who lost the world title at Heatwave is looking to take out his frustration on the commissioner!

 

Yale-  This is the first meeting I can recall between Octavian and Rollins one on one!  Rollins took Octavian’s title back in May at Shockwave, but Khan was involved in that incredible matchup!

 

Bryan-  Well, Rollins steps into the ring, and we’ve got ourselves a staredown!  The bell sounds, as Octavian and Rollins meet in the center of the ring.  This should be a great contest!

 

Yale-  Rollins and Octavian are in each other’s faces, and this thing could explode!  Rollins looks like he’s doing some trash talking here, but he isn’t swaying the commissioner!

 

Bryan-  Rollins now, quick as a cat, runs back and hits the ropes!  He bounces back with a clothesline, but Octavian ducks it!  Rollins hits the other side, but Octavian is waiting for him with a deep arm drag!

 

Yale-  Rollins hits the mat and rolls to his feet!  Octavian moves in, but Rollins is waiting!  There’s a dropkick from the Renegade!  Great move that sends Octavian reeling!

 

Bryan-  Rollins gets to his feet, and charges again!  But Octavian sidesteps him, and sends him sternum first into the turnbuckle!  Rollins bounces out, and Octavian crushes him with a stuff forearm to the back to the head!

 

Yale-  Rollins drops like a sack of potatoes, as Octavian drags him to the center of the ring!  Octavian folds Rollins up, and slaps on an STF!  Submission hold from the Commissioner!

 

Bryan-  Rollins needs to stay vertical here, and use his quickness!  He’s not a bad technician, but he can’t beat Octavian on the mat!  Octavian wrenches back with this STF, but Rollins manages to gain some ground and grab the ropes!

 

Yale-  Octavian is forced to break the hold.  Rollins slowly gets to his feet, but Octavian comes from behind with a chop block!

 

(The crowd cheers as Rollins goes down.)

 

Bryan-  Rollins is down again, as Octavian brings him back to the center of the ring!  Octavian takes Rollins by the leg, and leaps backwards!  Octavian brings the Renegade’s leg over his head, extending the quadricep!

 

Yale-  Rollins is in pain here, as Octavian lifts him up!  The crowd is solidly behind the commissioner here!  Octavian takes Rollins by the leg, and snaps him over with a leg drag takedown!

 

Bryan-  Octavian has a good game plan here!  He lifts Rollins up again, and takes him by the leg again!  NO!  Rollins comes back with an ensiguri, taking the Commissioner down!  Big move from the Renegade!

 

Yale-  Both men are down, but Rollins is slowly getting to his feet!  Rollins is favoring that leg that Octavian has been working on!  Octavian slowly gets to his feet, as Rollins whips him into the ropes!

 

Bryan-  Octavian bounces back, and Rollins throws a clothesline!  Octavian ducks, and hits the other side!  He bounces back, but Rollins leaps and connects with a flying back elbow!

 

Yale-  Octavian is down again, as Rollins now limps to the corner!  Rollins slowly begins to scale the turnbuckle, as the Commissioner rises!  Rollins gets to the top, as Octavian turns to face him!

 

Bryan-  Rollins takes off, and lands on Octavian’s shoulders!  Rollins flips, and wrenches down with a flying headscissors!  What a move!  Rollins covers Octavian!  ONE!  TWO!!  Kickout!

 

Yale-  Octavian BARELY escapes that one!  Rollins gives the referee a look, but it was a fair count!  Rollins slowly lifts Octavian to his feet, and sends him into the corner!

 

Bryan-  Octavian hits hard, as Rollins slowly follows him in.  Rollins fires off three quick rights, and begins to boot Octavian in the gut!  Straight away offense from the Renegade!  Rollins now whips Octavian into the opposite corner!

 

Yale-  Rollins follows him in running this time, and catches Octavian with a running clothesline!  Octavian is in real trouble!  Rollins now ducks under Octavian, and lifts him up to the turnbuckle!

 

Bryan-  This doesn’t look good!  It’s no-man’s land up there!  Octavian is perched on the top rope, as Rollins climbs in front of him!  Rollins stands perched, and signals to the fans!

 

(The fans boo Rollins as he prepares Octavian for a ride.)

 

Yale-  Rollins jumps, and hits a big HURRICANRANA!  Hurricanrana from the top!  Octavian could be done for!  Rollins slowly gets to his feet, but doesn’t go for a cover!  Rollins lifts the limp Octavian up, and sends him into the turnbuckle again!

 

Bryan-  Rollins walks to the Commissioner, and boots him in the gut!  Rollins picks Octavian up, and sets him up top once more!  Rollins climbs in front again!  He’s going for another one!

 

(The crowd boos with intensity as Rollins taunts them again.)

 

Yale-  Rollins now, jumps. . . But Octavian catches him on his shoulders!  The Commissioner jumps, and hits Rollins with a GIANT POWERBOMB from the top!  What a reversal!  My God, Rollins could be destroyed!

 

(The crowd oohs in amazement of the move.)

 

Bryan-  What a counter indeed!  Octavian caught Rollins on his way up, and simply jumped off with a powerbomb!

 

(Both Octavian and Rollins are down, as a replay of the move is shown.)

Bryan-  Both men are out cold, as the referee begins the ten count!  Neither man is moving!

 

Yale- The count is up to five, and it looks like Octavian is moving!  Six, seven. . . Octavian rolls Rollins over and hooks a leg!  ONE!  TWO!  THREE-  NO!  Wow!  Rollins got his shoulder up at the last possible second!

 

(The crowd boos in disappointment.)

 

Bryan-  Well, the former CWUers haven’t been victorious yet tonight, it’s up to Rollins to get it done!  Rollins slowly, and I mean slowly, climbs to his feet, but Octavian is already up and waiting in the corner!

 

Yale-  Rollins is up, as Octavian lies in wait!  Rollins staggers to face him, as Octavian charges!  Clothesline!  But Rollins ducks!  Octavian turns, and SUPERKICK!  Superkick out of nowhere!

 

Bryan-  That’s it!  Rollins hits Octavian with a superkick!  The Commissioner is down, and this one’s over!  Rollins is slow to make a cover, though!  Rollins slowly crawls to Octavian, and hooks a leg!

 

Yale-  ONE!  TWO!  THREE-  NO!  NO!  Octavian gets a shoulder up!  Octavian is still in this thing!  Rollins is slamming the mat in anger, but Octavian isn’t done yet! 

 

Bryan-  Rollins is furious!  Rollins slowly head out of the ring, and over to the timekeeper!  Oh, no, he’s got a damn steel chair!  Don’t let this match end this way!

 

Yale-  Rollins slides back into the ring, and waits in the corner!  Octavian is slowly getting to his feet, as Rollins readies the chair!  The referee tries to stop him, but Rollins simply shoves him out of the way!

 

(Suddenly, the crowd erupts in cheers.  Tristain Mayhem runs out of the crowd and hops onto the turnbuckle behind Octavian.)

 

Bryan-  Wait a minute!  Tristain Mayhem is here!  The United States Champion is here!  Mayhem hops onto the turnbuckle, as Rollins rears back to hit Octavian with the chair!

 

Yale-  But Mayhem snatches it from Rollins’ grasp!  Rollins turns, but Mayhem is already gone with that chair!  Mayhem may have just saved Octavian!

 

Bryan-  Octavian is up, as Rollins turns to see him!  Wait, Octavian scoops Rollins up, and turns him over!!  What’s this?!  Octavian drops him right on his head!  That’s the Roman Devastator!

 

Yale-  My God what a move!  Octavian has hit the Roman Devastator on Rich Rollins!  Rollins is out!  Octavian drags him to the center of the ring, and covers!  ONE!  TWO!!  THREE!!!!!

 

(The bell rings, as the crowd explodes with cheers.  Octavian’s arm is raised, but the Commissioner looks to be hurting still from the superkick.)

 

Andrews-  Here is your winner, Octavian!

 

Bryan-  Octavian has done it!  Octavian defeats the Renegade!  But not without the interjection of Tristain Mayhem!

 

Yale-  Mayhem said he wanted to face someone important. . . Who better than Rich Rollins?

 

Bryan-  Octavian rolls out of the ring to celebrate, as Rollins has lost two straight big matches!  Things aren’t going well for the Renegade!

 

Yale-  I don’t believe it!  Rollins is going to be furious when he realizes what happened!

 

Bryan-  Fans, we’re out of time!  For David Yale I’m James Bryan, saying good night from Houston, Texas!

 

(Meltdown fades to a close as the camera spots Mayhem in the crowd, staring out at Rollins lying in the ring. . . . . .)
