SHOCKWAVE

(The lights dim in the arena, and the crowd erupts in cheers.  The GCW logo appears on the MegaTron, followed by a loud voice-over.  Screen shots from Warpath flash on the MegaTron as the voice narrates.)

 

Voice-  April 22, 2001.  A day that will live in infamy.  The very first GCW Pay-Per-View brought us a new champion, and began a new era in the realm of sports-entertainment.  Now, May 19, one month later, alliances are formed and tested, friendships have been made and broken, and the era of GCW has blossomed.  Tonight, we witness the continuation of a growing company’s legacy.  Tonight, we witness. . . SHOCKWAVE!

 

(With that, pyro lights up the stage, as the Shockwave theme music blares overhead.  The crowd stands in unison as the lights go up, and the camera rests on the announce table.)

 

Bryan-  WELCOME EVERYONE to Rome, Italy!  And welcome to Shockwave!  Tonight, in a highly anticipated event, we will see three of the biggest superstars in history square off in a triple threat iron man match!

 

Yale-  And thanks to this new Commissioner of ours, the odds are really stacked against the Italian Stallion tonight!  I can’t believe this!  But Octavian proved himself to me a few weeks back by defeating Khan fair and square a few weeks ago!

 

Bryan-  That he did, but tonight he’ll have Khan and The Renegade to contend with for sixty straight minutes!  In addition, we’ll see our Commissioner and our President go one on one, the United States title will be decided, in addition to many other highly anticipated matches!

 

Yale-  I’ve been waiting for this!  The sequel to Warpath is going to be incredible!  Let’s get started, JB!

 

(The camera switches to backstage.  We find ourselves in the locker room of the Establishment.  The boos from the Roman crowd are overwhelming as they see them on the MegaTron.)

 

Caldera-  So here we are.  Rome, Italy.  I must admit, the beauty of this city is marred only by the scum that lives here.

 

(The crowd boos again.)

 

Caldera-  But what better place for Octavian to fight than his own hometown?

 

Octavian-  Well, Mr. President, tonight the Establishment will bring home the gold.  After tonight, our emperium will truly be the greatest ever seen on earth!

 

(With that, the door to the room swings open.  The crowd cheers wildly as the Jhub pokes his head in.)

 

Jhub-  (Sniffing the air)  Hmm. . . Thought I smelled garbage.

 

(The Jhub the disappears again.)

 

Caldera-  Somebody’s got to get that guy. . .

 

(The camera then returns to ringside.  All about the Flame hits, and the crowd boos.  Freak and Flame walk to the ring, and step through the ropes.)

 

Andrews-  The following tag team contest is set for one fall!  Introducing first, at a combined weight of  pounds, Freak, the Flame. . . Flame Time!

 

Bryan-  Well, fans, this first match has been brewing ever since we learned that Freak and the Flame were the ones who assaulted Gidget in the backstage area a few weeks ago!  Since then, they have lain waste to the ZIP crew!

 

Yale-  Yeah, and I have word that neither Stone nor Zippy are cleared to wrestle here tonight!

 

(Flame Time enters the ring, and Freak grabs a mike.  There is an Italian translator also speaking with him.)

 

Freak-  Now, it appears as though the ZIP crew is not here tonight!  That may have something to do with the lead pipe that Stone had implanted into his skull a few days ago. . .

 

(The crowd boos.)

 

Freak-  Or maybe the beating that Zippy took earlier this week on Meltdown!  But the point is, the ZIP crew ain’t here, and we want a replacement team!

 

Bryan-  Oh, come on, who on earth is going to come out here now?  These guys know the ZIP crew isn’t around, and neither is anyone else!

 

(Suddenly, the crowd goes nuts as Assassin One and Mikado charge into the ring from the back.)

 

Bryan-  Wait a minute!  Wait a minute!  The tag champions are here!  Assassin One and Mikado are in the ring, and laying waste to Flame Time!

 

(The crowd cheers as Flame Time bails out of the ring and retreats to the back.)

 

Yale-  What are they doing out here?  They aren’t supposed to be here tonight!

 

Bryan-  Well, Flame Time asked, and the tag champions answered!  It looks like Flame Time may be headed for trouble if they mess with the tag champions again!

 

Yale-  Oh, come on, JB!  Assassin One and Mikado won those belts in a handicap match!  They don’t deserve those belts!

 

Bryan-  Perhaps we’ll see Flame Time and Assassin One and Mikado lock it up sometime in the future!  For now, let’s head to ringside for our Battle Royal!

 

(Break Stuff hits, and Chaos heads to the ring.  The crowd is anticipating a great match.)

 

Andrews-  The following contest is a battle royal for the GCW Television championship!  Introducing first, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 240 pounds. . . Chaos!

 

(Chaos steps into the ring, as Last Resort hits.  Makaveli heads for the ring.)

 

Andrews-  From Oakland, California, weighing in at 270 pounds. . . Makaveli!

 

(Makaveli hops into the ring, as Pleasant Dreams plays.  Mr. Dream heads for the ring.)

 

Andrews-  From San Francisco, California, weighing in at 285 pounds. . .Mr. Dream!

 

(Mr. Dream steps through the ropes.  He exchanges a few harsh words with Makaveli, as One of These Days hits.  The crowd cheers a bit as Corhay walks to the ring.)

 

Andrews-  From Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, weighing in at 320 pounds. . .Corhay!

 

(Corhay steps into the ring, as stares down the other men.  The crowd suddenly erupts in boos as Demons Surround Me plays.  Capo walks to the ring, taunting the crowd on the way.)

 

Andrews-  Weighing in at 257 pounds. . .Capo!

 

(Capo waits by the steel steps.  One Step Closer hits, and Khris Krowe heads to the ring.)

 

Andrews-  From Toledo, Ohio, weighing in at 265 pounds. . .’The Legacy’ Khris Krowe!

 

(The crowd erupts in thunderous boos as Freak on a Leash hits.  Shane Lane and Hiroshima Genryu walk to the ring.  Lane stops to admire his physique, then steps through the ropes.)

 

Andrews-  From Beverly Hills, California, he is accompanied to the ring by his bodyguard, Hiroshima Genryu, he weighs in at 210 pounds. . . Shane Lane!

 

Bryan-  Shane Lane not adhering himself to the Roman crowd here, but I guess that doesn’t matter to him!

 

Yale-  Of course not, JB!  Look at him!  He looks so much better than these ugly Roman morons!  I can tell just by looking at him that he’s going to win this thing.

 

Bryan-  Well, there’s the bell, and we’re off and running!  Everyone is in the ring, and it’s utter chaos!  Speaking of Chaos, he’s got Makaveli down in the corner, and is stomping away!  Meanwhile, Khris Krowe and Corhay are double-teaming Capo, much to the crowd’s delight!

 

Yale-  Capo is hung up on the top rope, and they’re trying to toss him out!  But Capo rakes Corhay’s eyes, and gets free!  Shane Lane is taking it easy in the corner, with Genryu right behind him!  Look at that guy, JB!  Genryu is an incredible sight!

 

Bryan-  Mr. Dream has come in behind Chaos, and forearms him in the spine!  Mr. Dream gives Chaos a shove, and he spills out over the top rope!  But Chaos lands on the apron!  Makaveli gets up, and Mr. Dream clotheslines him over the top as well!

 

Yale-  And Makaveli lands on the floor!  His hopes of winning the TV title here tonight are gone!  Now it seems that Corhay has spotted Shane Lane, and they are going at it in the corner!  Now Chaos has made his way over to them!

 

Bryan-  Chaos kicks Corhay in the gut, and shoves him aside!  Chaos pulls Lane into the center of the ring, and whips him into the ropes!  But Lane reverses!  Chaos hits the ropes. . .And Genryu pulls the top rope down! 

 

Yale-  Chaos goes flying over the top rope, and is eliminated!  Genryu’s interference eliminated Chaos, and we’re down to five men in the ring!  Lane has retreated to the corner, while Capo and Khris Krowe go at it in the middle of the ring, and Corhay and Mr. Dream battle it out as well!

 

Bryan-  This Shane Lane is something else!  He’s just standing there posing!  Capo has Khris Krowe reeling in the corner, and he backs up!  Capo charges, but Krowe ducks and tosses Capo over the top rope!

 

Yale-  But Capo lands on his feet on the apron!  Krowe turns to face him, and Capo throws a punch!  Krowe staggers back, as Capo steps back into the ring!  This crowd isn’t too crazy about the egomaniac Capo, either!

 

Bryan-  Corhay is in control of Mr. Dream, stomping away at his midsection in the corner!  Lane moves in behind him, and grabs him in a rear waistlock!  Corhay tries to escape, but Lane lifts him high overhead and hits a German suplex!

 

Yale-  What a move!  Lane stands back up, and turns to Mr. Dream!  But Dream comes charging out of the corner with a clothesline that takes Lane down!  The crowd liked that one! 

 

Bryan-  Wait, Capo has Krowe reeling on the top rope, trying to toss him out!  Mr. Dream run over to help!  But Dream nails Capo!  Capo goes down to a big forearm, and now Mr. Dream back up!  Dream runs in with a clothesline on Khris Krowe!

 

Yale-  Both men fly over the top!  But Krowe hooks the top rope, and slides back in!  Mr. Dream is gone form this match!  And he’s none too happy about it!  That was a good move by the Legacy, though!

 

Bryan-  Capo catches Krowe on his way back in, and begins to stomp away at his head!  Meanwhile, Shane Lane is back up, as is Corhay!  Corhay moves in on Lane, but Lane ducks behind him and hooks in an abdominal stretch!

 

Yale-  Wait, Lane lifts Corhay up, and drops him!  That’s the Superstar Driver, JB!  What a powerbomb-like move that was!  And Corhay is out cold!

 

Bryan-  But Lane still has to get him over the top rope!  Capo sees this, and comes to help Lane lift up Corhay!  Capo and Lane begin to drag Corhay towards the ropes!  But wait, Khris Krowe is back up!

 

Yale-  Krowe moves in behind Lane, and takes him by the hair!  Krowe tosses Lane over the top rope!  But wait, Genryu is right there, and he catches Lane!  Genryu rolls Lane back into the ring, and I guess that means Lane is still in it!

 

Bryan-  This duo of Shane Lane and Hiroshima Genryu is something else!  Krowe begins to stomp at Lane, as Capo continues to try to toss Corhay out to the floor!

 

Yale-  Lane is getting back to his feet, and Krowe moves him towards the ropes!  Krowe throws a punch, but Lane ducks under it!  Krowe turns to face Lane, but Lane rears back and clotheslines Krowe over the top to the floor!

 

Bryan-  The Legacy is gone, as Corhay tries to turn things around on Capo!  Corhay rakes him eyes, and Capo breaks off!  But Lane is over to him, and stops Corhay’s comeback with a boot to the midsection!

 

Yale-  Lane ties up with Corhay, and tries to dump him over the top!  Wait, Capo comes back with a dropkick to the back of Shane Lane’s head!  Lane and Corhay both fall over the top to the floor!  It’s over!

 

(The crowd boos intensely as Capo throws his arm up in victory.  Shane Lane and Corhay continue to fight on the outside, until Genryu heads to them and aids Lane.)

 

Andrews-  Here is your winner, and the first ever GCW Television Champion. . . Capo!

 

Bryan-  Capo, with one swift move out of nowhere, has captured the TV title!  Like him or not, this is quite the landmark in this kid’s young career!

 

Yale-  I still think Shane Lane deserves another shot!  If Corhay hadn’t have been in his way, Lane would have won the thing!  But hey, Capo will make a great champ, JB!

 

Bryan-  Well, fans, GCW has had a tremendous time here in Rome, Italy this weekend.  Of course we heard from all the superstars on their way here, and Rome has been a great place to have such an incredible Pay-Per-View event!

 

Yale-  I hate this place, JB!  I thought these Romans would welcome their champion home with open arms, but for some reason they hate the guy!  Who on earth could hate Octavian?

 

Bryan-  Oh, please. . .Well, fans, we’ve seen a lot of action so far, and we aren’t about to stop now.  Let’s go to ringside.

 

 

 

 

(Walking Wounded  hits, and the crowd explodes in boos.  Chris Jordan heads for the ring, as he shouts at the Roman crowd.)

 

Andrews-  The following contest, set for one fall, is for the GCW Cruiserweight championship!  Making his way to the ring, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, he weighs in at 223 pounds. . . Chris Jordan!

 

(Jordan steps through the ropes, and he’s handed a microphone.)

 

Jordan-  Man, and I thought Americans were bad!  Ever since we arrived here, I’ve seen nothing but worthless European trash!  So I’m going to make quick work of these two nobodies, so I can catch the first flight back to Calgary!

 

(The crowd boos as the Italian translator finishes.  I Disappear hits next, and Mike Hardy bounds to the ring.) 

 

Andrews-  And his opponent, from Cameron, North Carolina, he weighs in at 222 pounds. . . Michael ‘Hickenbottom’ Hardy!

 

(Hardy steps into the ring, and Jordan bails out the back.  Hardy and Jordan shout at each other, as 2001 hits.  The cheers disappear and the boos take over as Chameleon walks to the ring.)

 

Andrews-  And their opponent, weighing in at 212 pounds, from Las Vegas, Nevada, he is the GCW Cruiserweight champion. . .the Chameleon!

 

Bryan-  We all know the story between Mike Hardy and Chameleon, who’s feud has been growing since that hellacious ladder match at Warpath!  But now Chris Jordan has been thrown in as the kicker, so there’s no telling what we should expect out of this one!

 

Yale-  Chameleon is the last surviving member of the Wallstreet Hustlers!  Branson King walked out and quit the company, and as a result, Chameleon lost the tag titles to Assassin One and Mikado!  But tonight he’ll maintain his cruiserweight title, and he’ll still be the best!

 

Bryan-  There’s the bell, and Chameleon and Hardy are going at it right away!  Jordan is still watching from outside the ring, as Chameleon and Hardy slug it out!  Hardy gets the best of it, and sends Chameleon into the ropes!

 

Yale-  But Jordan reaches in and pulls Chameleon out of the ring!  Jordan gives Chameleon a forearm shot to the face, and slides into the ring!  Hardy greets him with a few quick rights, and sends Jordan into the ropes!

 

Bryan-  Jordan bounces back, and catches Hardy with a high cross body!  Hardy goes down, but tosses Jordan off and springs back to his feet!  Jordan charges right back in with a clothesline, but Hardy ducks it!

 

Yale-  Chameleon is back up, and on the top turnbuckle!  Jordan spins back around, and Hardy hooks him up for a DDT!  But Chameleon comes off the top, and hits Hardy in the back of the head with a missile dropkick!

 

Bryan-  Perfectly done by Chameleon!  Hardy is down, as Jordan rushes at Chameleon!  Chameleon sidesteps him, and hits a drop toe hold!  Jordan comes crashing down, and his head lands on the bottom turnbuckle!

 

Yale-  Chameleon is cooking, JB!  Hardy slowly gets back up, and Chameleon takes him down with a snapmare!  Jordan is still down from that toe hold, and Chameleon has Hardy in a reverse chinlock!

 

Bryan-  But Hardy is powering up!  Hardy gets to his feet, and lays in two quick elbows to Chameleon’s chest!  Hardy shoves Chameleon off into the ropes, and takes him down with a shoulder block!

 

Yale-  Chameleon goes down hard, and Jordan is recovering!  Hardy bounces off the ropes, and leapfrogs over a rising Chameleon!  But Jordan jumps at the same time, and catches Hardy in midair with a vicious clothesline!

 

Bryan-  Jordan out of nowhere about decapitated Hardy!  Chameleon is back to his feet, and both he and Jordan are stomping away at Hardy!  The crowd is not liking this too much!

 

Yale-  Who cares about these Roman morons?  Wait, Jordan breaks off and nails Chameleon!  Jordan has the champion reeling, as he sends him into the ropes!  Hardy gets back up, as Chameleon bounces back and leapfrogs over Jordan!

 

Bryan-  But Hardy is right there!  Hardy catches Chameleon in midair, back up, and drops him over the top rope!  Great move by Hickenbottom!  Chameleon’s neck got hung out to dry, as Jordan moves in on Hardy! 

 

Yale-  Jordan fires off more punches at Hardy, and bounces off the ropes!  But Hardy catches Jordan on the way back, tosses him into the air, and hits a standing dropkick on the way down!  What a great match, JB!

 

Bryan-  Chameleon is back to his feet, and Hardy sends him into the turnbuckle!  Hardy follows him in with a big splash, and floats over the top rope to the apron!  Hardy starts to climb the turnbuckle, as Jordan gets to his feet!

 

Yale-  Chameleon is staggered out of the corner, as Hardy takes off with a missile dropkick!  But Chameleon ducks, and Hardy connects with Jordan!  Now Chameleon is headed to the top rope!

 

Bryan-  Jordan has been wiped out, as Hardy gets back to his feet!  Hardy turns to see Chameleon climbing the turnbuckle!  Hardy runs to the corner, leaps to the top rope, and brings Chameleon down with an arm drag from the top rope!

 

Yale-  Amazing!  Hardy is really showing us some fire here, as much as I hate to say it!  Jordan is slowly getting back to his feet, as Hardy moves in!  Chameleon has rolled out to the floor to catch his breath, as Hardy sends Jordan into the ropes! 

 

Bryan-  Jordan bounces back, and Hardy catches him in a back body drop over the top rope!  And Jordan lands right on top of Chameleon!  What a great move by Mike Hardy!  Hardy could win this damn thing right here!

 

Yale-  Wait, Hardy is headed for the top rope!  Hardy leaps to the top, as Chameleon and Jordan get to their feet!  Hardy takes off!  But Jordan shoves him aside in midair, and Hardy lands right on top of the steel guardrail!  Oh my God!

 

Bryan-  Hardy’s ribs may have shattered!  Hardy falls back to the floor, but he may be out of this match!  Chameleon has snuck back into the ring, and is now joined by Jordan!  Hardy is lying crippled on the floor, as Jordan and Chameleon go at it in the ring!

 

Yale-  Good riddance to Hardy!  Yahoo!  Jordan is in control now, as he sends Chameleon into the ropes!  Chameleon bounces out, and Jordan follows it up with a harsh spinning heel kick to the face!

 

Bryan-  Chris Jordan is really coming into his own here!  Jordan is headed to the top rope, as Chameleon struggles to get to his feet!  Chameleon sees Jordan, and falls into the ropes!  Jordan loses his balance, and lands rather precariously on the turnbuckle!

 

Yale-  Chameleon has this match well in hand now with Hardy still down on the outside!  Chameleon climbs the turnbuckle in front of Jordan, and jumps!  Hurricanrana from the top rope!  Great move!

 

Bryan-  What a move indeed!  Jordan is down, and Chameleon signals that this match is over!  Chameleon heads for the turnbuckle again, and starts to climb!  Jordan still isn’t moving, as Chameleon takes flight!

 

Yale-  WHAT A MOONSAULT!  Chameleon gets incredible elevation, but Jordan moves out of the way!  Chameleon lands hard on the unforgiving canvass, and Jordan turns him over!  Here’s a cover!  ONE!  TWO!! Chameleon kicks out!

 

Bryan-  Man, I’m worried about Hardy!  We may need some help for him out here!  He’s still lying on the floor, clutching his ribs!  Chameleon is a bit worse for the wear, as well!  And Chris Jordan, the Canadian, is in control!

 

Yale-  That’s right, he’s Canadian!  The only thing that means is that he’s better than everyone else!  Jordan lifts Chameleon up, slips behind him, and delivers a big side Russian legsweep! 

 

Bryan-  Jordan covers Chameleon again!  ONE!  TWO!! Another kickout by the champion!  Hardy is still on the outside, but he’s begun to move again!  Meanwhile, Jordan has Chameleon up, and. . . Wait, there it is!  There’s the Strike!

 

Yale-  Chameleon hit the Strike on Jordan out of nowhere!  I wasn’t even paying attention!  Where did that come from?!  Jordan is down and out, but Chameleon is slow to capitalize!  Hardy is getting back up, and he’s climbing the turnbuckle!

 

Bryan-  Wait, Chameleon turns to Jordan, and covers!  ONE!  TWO!! Wait, SWANTON BOMB from Hardy!  Hardy hit the Swanton on Chameleon to break up the count!  But he’s writhing in pain in the ring!  There is something terribly wrong here!

 

Yale-  All three men are down, but Jordan is moving!  Jordan slowly tosses an arm over Hardy’s chest!  ONE!  TWO!!  THREE?!?!?  What?  It’s over!?!

 

(The bell rings and the crowd boos in confusion.  Walking Wounded plays again, as Jordan is handed the title belt.)

 

Andrews-  Here is your winner, and the NEW GCW Cruiserweight champion. . . Chris Jordan!

 

Bryan-  Jordan has won the title, but there is something terribly wrong here with Hardy!  Hardy hit the swanton bomb on Chameleon, and Jordan managed to capitalize!  Jordan is the new champion, but EMTs are here to attend to Hardy!

 

Yale-  Wait, Chameleon is back up, and he is furious!  He can’t believe this thing ended so quickly!  The EMTs are checking on Hardy, but Chameleon shoves them aside! 

 

Bryan-  Hey, now this isn’t necessary!  Chameleon is stomping away at Hardy’s ribs!  Hardy is trying to cover up, as Chameleon stomps away!  Chameleon is trying to end this kid’s career!

 

Yale-  Finally, the officials make it to the ring and pull Chameleon away from Hardy!  But the damage is done!  Chameleon may have broken Hardy’s ribs, following that jump onto the guardrail!

 

Bryan-  Hardy is being loaded onto the stretcher, and being carted away!  And Chameleon is furious!  Fans, we apologize for the delay here, but Mike Hardy needs medical attention!

 

Yale-  Well, as they’re taking Hardy away, you have to wonder how many more people will be taken out on stretchers tonight!  Especially following this next match, the Hell in a cell!

 

(The camera cuts to the backstage area.  Toad is standing with Kevin Jacobs and his title belt.)

 

Jacobs-  Toad, tonight you step into the most dangerous structure ever conceived, the Hell in a Cell.  What are your thoughts heading into this match?

 

Toad-  It’s very simple, Kevin.  I am the Hard*core champion.  Do you know what that means?  It means I am the toughest man in the company, and it means I can take anything and everything John Reed has to offer!  I’m not in a talking mood right now, Kevin, so I’ll leave you with this.  Tonight, after I break John Reed’s pathetic little neck, and I walk out with my belt still in hand, I will have proven to the world that I am the greatest Hard*core champion there has ever been!  So get ready, John Reed, ‘cause the Toad is on fire tonight.

 

(The camera returns to ringside, where Voodoo hits, and the crowd boos.  John Reed heads to the ring, Rachel absent from his side.)

 

Andrews-  The following contest, set for one fall, is a Hell in the Cell match for the GCW Hard*core championship!  Introducing first, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at two hundred seventy-five pounds. . . John Reed!

 

(Reed steps into the ring as Out with the Old hits.  The crowd goes crazy as Toad walks to the ring.)

 

Andrews-  And his opponent, from Biloxi, Mississippi, weighing in at three hundred ten pounds, he is the GCW Hard*core champion. . . Toad!

 

Bryan-  Toad and John Reed have built a hatred to each other, and tonight the only way the can settle it is in this demonic structure!

 

Yale-  Finally, John Reed will get his revenge!  And he’s going to tear Toad apart in the cell!

 

(Toad steps into the ring and relinquishes the belt.  The lights dim as the cell is slowly lowered over the ring.)

 

Bryan-  The cell is dropping, and after this match, I don’t think either Toad or Reed will be the same!  The cell is down, as the ref locks the door!  Here we go!  There’s the bell!

 

Yale-  This is gonna be great!  Toad charges right in on Reed, but Reed sidesteps him!  Reed bounces off the ropes, and Reed catches him with an elbow to the jaw!  Toad bounces off the ropes again, and Reed catches him with a clothesline!  And Toad flies over the top to the floor!

 

Bryan-  Not a good start for the champion!  Reed steps out to the floor, and lifts Toad up!  But Toad fires a right hand!  And another!  Toad is pounding Reed as hard as he can!  Toad takes Reed by the arm and whips him into the steel mesh!

 

Yale-  Reed’s head bounces off the side of the cage!  Reed staggers back, ad Toad lifts him up from behind!  Toad has Reed up, and he walks him spread-eagle onto the steel post!  What a cheap shot by Toad!

 

Bryan-  Toad unceremoniously drops Reed to the floor, and heads for the steel steps!  Toad picks up the top section, as Reed stands to his feet!  Toad turns and tosses those steps at Reed!  But Reed slides back into the ring, and the steps hit the side of the cage!

 

Yale-  Wow, Toad threw the steps so hard, they broke a bit of that steel mesh!  Reed is crawling for the corner in the ring, as Toad steps through the ropes!  But Reed explodes from behind with a chop block! 

 

Bryan-  Ouch!  Toad goes down, as Reed gets to his feet!  Reed bounces off the ropes, and jumps with a big elbow drop!  Reed has Toad reeling, as he pulls him to the center of the ring and lifts him to his feet!

 

Yale-  Reed hooks Toad, and lifts him up!  He’s got Toad up in a hanging vertical suplex!  Reed showing some impressive strength to hold the three hundred pounder up there like that!  Finally Reed drops Toad, and floats over with a cover!

 

Bryan-  ONE!  TWO!!  Kickout!  It’s gonna take a lot more than that to keep the Hard*core Champion down!  Reed lifts him back up again, and takes him by the hair!  Reed with a head of steam. . .tosses Toad to the floor!

 

Yale-  Wow!  Reed is in control of this Hell in a cell match!  Reed hops to the floor, where Toad is attempting to get to his feet!  Reed moves in from behind Toad, and leaps!  Reed hooks Toad’s head, and hits a BULLDOG onto the steel steps!  Amazing!

 

Bryan-  What a move by Reed!  That could just about do it for Toad!  Reed hits an amazing move, and is still in firm control!  Toad may be out cold!

 

(The camera shows an instant replay of the bulldog while Toad attempts to recover.)

 

Yale-  Toad’s face was driven right into the steel!  But Reed is showing no mercy!  He lifts Toad up, and takes him to the cage!  Reed rears Toad’s head back, and sends him face first into the steel mesh!

 

Bryan-  Wait, Toad grabs Reed by the head and sends him into the mesh!  Quick comeback from Toad!  Toad scoops Reed up, and slams him right on the floor!  But Toad drops to a knee!  How does he do that?

 

Yale-  After that bulldog, I don’t know how he’s standing!  But Toad is trying to mount an offense!  Toad takes Reed by the arm again, and whips him hard into the mesh once more!  Now Toad gets a head of steam, and charges into Reed!

 

Bryan-  But Reed sidesteps him, and Toad goes headfirst into the mesh!  And that cage barely gives at all!  Toad collapses to the floor, as Reed throws back the ring banner and looks for a weapon under the ring!

 

Yale-  Reed has a steel chair!  Toad is slowly getting to his feet, as Reed approaches him!  Reed rears back, and connects with a vile chair shot the skull!  Toad goes right down, and John Reed is dominating!

 

(The crowd boos Reed as he raises the chair in triumph.)

 

Bryan-  Reed drops the chair, and lifts Toad up!  Toad is busted open and bleeding badly!  Reed sends him to the other side of the cell with a hard Irish whip!  Toad runs hard into that ripped section of the cell!  But the cage still doesn’t give!

 

Yale-  Reed slowly heads towards the fallen champion, and lays in a heavy boot to the head!  And another!  Reed is staying on Toad here, and we may be moments away from a new Hard*core champion! 

 

Bryan-  I’ll give the devil his due, he is dominating Toad so far!  Reed lifts Toad up again, and backs him up a few feet! Reed sends Toad into the cage again!  And this time Toad breaks through!  Toad breaks through the cell wall and into the entrance ramp!

 

Yale-  Oh, no!  Toad is outside of the cell, and Reed is following him!  Toad is trying desperately to get to his feet, but Reed is right on him!  Reed sets him up for a piledriver!  That could kill him!

 

Bryan-  Don’t do it!  Wait, Toad reverses!  Back body drop on Reed!  Reed lands hard on the steel entrance ramp, and the Toad has an opening!  Toad is back to his feet, and this crowd has come alive! 

 

Yale-  Don’t they know the Toad has been bad-mouthing Rome all week?  Toad lifts Reed up, and whips him into the cell!  Reed hits hard!  Toad follows him in, and grabs him by the head!  Toad rams Reed’s head into the cell!  And again!

 

(The Roman crowd chants “Uno, Due, Tre, Quattro, Cinque, Seis, Siete, Otto, Nuovo, Dieci” as Toad rams Reed’s head into the cell.)

 

Bryan-  Oh, man!  Reed is hurting, and Toad is making a comeback!  Toad scoops Reed up, and drops him right over the steel guardrail!  That may have fractured Reed’s sternum!  Reed falls to the floor, and Toad stays on him!

 

Yale-  Toad lifts Reed back up, and sends him into the guardrail on the other side!  Toad follows him in with a clothesline!  Reed flies into the crowd!  Toad hops over to continue the pursuit!  Reed is scrambling to get away, but to no avail!

 

Bryan-  Toad lays in a boot to the gut, and lifts Reed up!  He’s got him set up for a piledriver!  No, wait, Reed reverses, and backdrops Toad onto the concrete floor!  Oh, my God!

 

Yale-  Both men are down, and someone needs to get them back inside the cell!  Reed is up, and moving towards the cell again!  But Toad is rising, as well!  Reed sees him, leaps over the guardrail, and tries to escape around the cell!

 

Bryan-  But Toad is in hot pursuit!  Toad follows Reed around the cell, and now they’re right here in front of our announce table!  Reed can’t get away from Toad!  But he’s made his way to the timekeeper’s table, and he’s got the ring bell!

 

Yale-  Toad doesn’t see it, as he closes in on Reed!  But Reed turns and brings the bell down on Toad’s skull!  Toad is down, and Reed is back in control!

 

Bryan-  Reed is still hurting, as he tries to escape again!  Wait, he’s climbing the side of the cell!  John Reed is climbing the side of the cell, trying to escape Toad!

 

Yale-  Don’t go up there!  Toad is getting up, and he sees Reed climbing to the top!  Now Toad is below him, and climbing as well!  Toad and Reed are going up!  This is not good!

 

Bryan-  This thing could get out of hand in a hurry!  Reed has reached the top, but Toad is right below him!  Reed is trying to make his way to the other side of the cell, but Toad is up!  Toad has reached the top!

 

Yale-  Reed sees him!  Reed moves in, but Toad springs up and unloads with a series of rights!  Toad is pounding Reed!  Toad has Reed reeling!  Oh, but Reed stops him with a boot below the belt!  Great move!

 

Bryan-  Toad is down, and Reed leads him towards the center of the cell.  Reed sets Toad up for a suplex!  This is dangerous!  Reed tries to lift the big man, but he can’t get Toad up!  Another attempt, another block!

 

Yale-  Wait a minute!  Toad lifts Reed up, and suplexes Reed onto the steel mesh!  MY GOD!  The cell sags in, and barely holds them up!  That was a close one, JB!  Someone needs to get them down from there!

 

Bryan-  Both men are down up there, but Toad seems to be the first to recover!  Toad is up, as Reed regains his senses!  Toad wipes the blood from his face, and lifts Reed to his feet!

 

Yale-  But Reed comes up with a stiff right!  Toad answers it!  Toad and Reed are slugging it out!  We have a fistfight at fifteen feet above the ring! This is awful! 

 

Bryan-  Reed is getting the best of Toad!  He kicks him in the gut, and sets him up for a powerbomb!  My God, if he powerbombs him on that cell roof, he’ll kill him!  Reed lifts Toad up!

 

Yale-  No!  Toad blocks it!  Reed tries again, but he can’t get Toad up!  Wait, Toad stands, and back body drops Reed onto the cell roof!  AND REED BREAKS THROUGH!  Reed goes crashing through the ceiling and lands hard on the mat!

 

Bryan-  GOOD GOD!  GOOD GOD!  Reed is broken in half!  He’s been back body dropped fifteen feet to the ring below!  And Toad is standing above him, looking down from the top of the cell!  The referee is trying to unlock the door to let the EMTs in!

 

Yale-  This match has got to be over!  But wait, Toad is looking out to the fans!  What’s he thinking?!  Wait, wait, WAIT!  TOAD TAKES OFF!  He jumps down through the hole in the cage, and hits the Toad Jam on Reed!

 

Bryan-  UNBELIEVABLE!  TOAD JAM FROM THE TOP OF THE CELL!  Toad lands right on the broken Reed, as the ref runs to count!  ONE!  TWO!!  THREE!!! THAT’S IT!

 

(The bell rings and the fans go crazy.  Toad’s arm is raised, but he seems to be out cold.  EMTs charge into the ring to tend to both men.)

 

Andrews-  Here is your winner, and STILL GCW Hard*core champion. . . Toad!

 

Bryan-  Amazing!  Toad tossed Reed fifteen feet to the mat below, and then hit the Toad Jam from the top!  Both of these men are hurt badly!  They’ve got to have internal injuries!

 

Yale-  Toad and Reed are both being loaded onto stretchers as the cell is raised!  That was the most ungodly match we’ve seen in GCW!

 

Bryan-  But Toad has retained his title!  I hope we never see anything like that again.  Commissioner Danger and President Caldera need to make sure that doesn’t happen again!

 

(Replays of Reed’s fall through the cell and the Toad Jam are shown as the cell is raised from the ring.)

 

Bryan-  Give both of these men all the credit in the world!  They gave us everything they had!

 

Yale-  Well, now we’re about to see Toxic capture the United States title in a Last Man Standing match!  And Toxic is undefeated in last man standing matches, JB!

 

(Fuel hits, and the fans explode.  Hanson walks to the ring and steps inside.)

 

Andrews-  The following contest is a Last Man Standing match for the GCW United States championship!  Introducing first, from  , he weighs in at 310 pounds. . . ‘The Fueler’ Luke Hanson!

 

(Hanson hops into the ring, as American Psycho hits.  The crowd boos like crazy as Toxic heads for the ring.)

 

Andrews- And his opponent, he weighs in at two hundred and ninety-five pounds. . . Toxic!

 

Bryan- Two very big men are about to go at it here for the vacant United States title!  Toxic sprints the last few feet and slides in!  There’s the bell, and Toxic and Hanson are slugging it out!  Hanson is getting the better of Toxic, and he bounces off the ropes!

 

Yale-  The Fueler comes back with a clothesline!  Toxic goes down, but springs back up!  Hanson takes him down with a big right hand!  Toxic up again, and Hanson fires a knife-edge chop!

 

Bryan-  Hanson shoves Toxic back into the corner, and unloads with shard right hands!  But Toxic reverses Hanson into the corner, and begins firing away as well!  Now Hanson charges out of the corner with a double leg takedown on Toxic!

 

Yale-  Hanson is pounding away at Toxic, but Toxic turns Hanson over and begins firing away as well!  This is an all-out fight, JB!  Toxic pounds Hanson down, and gets back to his feet!  Hanson regains his vertical base as well, and Toxic sends him into the ropes!

 

Bryan-  Hanson bounces back, and ducks an elbow!  Off the other side, and he ducks a clothesline!  Hanson back again, and Toxic lifts him up, and drops him in a sidewalk slam!  Beautiful move by Toxic!

 

Yale-  Hanson lands hard on his hip, but gets back to his feet!  Toxic sends him into the ropes again, but Hanson reverses!  Toxic bounces back and ducks a clothesline!  Toxic comes back off the other side, and Hanson gets him with a big boot to the face!

 

Bryan-  What a move!  Toxic goes down hard, and he may be out!  But Hanson isn’t waiting for the count!  The Fueler bounces off the ropes and drops a leg over Toxic’s chest!  Toxic manages to sit up, and Hanson kicks him right in the spine!

 

Yale-  Toxic shouts in pain, but gets to his feet!  He turns to face the Fueler, who hooks him up!  There’s a gargoyle suplex!  What a move!  He just tossed the near three hundred pound Toxic like he was nothing!

 

Bryan-  That is impressive!  Toxic is down and may be out, and this time Hanson backs to a corner to let the count begin!  One, two, three. . . The ref is counting Toxic down!  Once he gets to ten, this one’s over!

 

Yale-  Toxic is getting up, though!  The ref gets to five, but Hanson moves in and stops the count!  Hanson fires off another right hand, and sends Toxic into the ropes!  Toxic bounces back, and Hanson telegraphs a back body drop!

 

Bryan-  Toxic sees it coming a mile away, and stops in front of Hanson!  Wait, Toxic hooks Hanson up, and lifts him!  There’s a PILEDRIVER!  The experience of Toxic paid off, and Hanson is down!

 

Yale-  Toxic is still a bit weary from that suplex, but he backs off to the corner and the count on Hanson begins!  One, two, Hanson is still down!  Five. . .Six. . .Hanson is rising, and Toxic moves in!

 

Bryan-  Toxic breaks the count, and kicks Hanson in the face on the way up!  Hanson goes back down, and Toxic backs up!  He jumps, and hits a perfect elbow drop!  Hanson may be in trouble here, as Toxic lifts him up again!

 

Yale-  Toxic sends Hanson into the ropes, and catches him with a back body drop!  These two big men are really showing us some impressive power!  Toxic drops behind Hanson, and locks on a sleeper hold!

 

Bryan-  This is a good idea!  If Toxic can put Hanson out, he won’t be able to answer the ten count!  Hanson is struggling to escape, but Toxic has the hold on tight!  Hanson looks like he’s fading here!

 

Yale-  All right!  I told you Toxic was unbeatable in these matches!  Hanson’s chances here are fading!  Toxic has him grounded, JB!  It looks like the Fueler is out, and Toxic releases the hold.  Hanson isn’t moving!

 

Bryan-  Toxic seemingly has put Hanson down for the count with that sleeper hold!  The referee begins the count!  One, two, three. . . The Fueler is still down!  Five. . .Six. . .Hanson is still down!  Seven!  Eight!  Hanson is moving!  Nine!  Ten-  No!  Hanson is up, and Toxic is back on the attack!

 

Yale-  Toxic sends Hanson into the corner, and follows him in!  But Hanson gets a foot up into Toxic’s face!  Toxic is staggered, as Hanson explodes from the corner with a monstrous clothesline!  Both men are down, but Hanson is Rollins to the floor!

 

Bryan-  Hanson is on the outside here, and he’s searching under the ring!  He’s got a steel chair!  He tosses it into the ring, and goes back for more!  Toxic is slowly recovering, as Hanson emerges again. . .

 

Yale-  What’s that?!  It looks like a Singapore cane wrapped in barbed wire!  That’s not fair, JB!  But Toxic is up, and he’s got the steel chair in hand as the Fueler rolls into the ring!

 

Bryan-  Hanson and Toxic are at a standoff!  Finally, Hanson charges in, and brings the cane down!  But Toxic blocks it with his chair!  Hanson breaks off, and Toxic charges with a chair shot!  But Hanson ducks it, and swings the cane into Toxic’s gut!

 

Yale-  Oh my God, what a shot!  Hanson just stuck that barbed wire into Toxic’s midsection!  Toxic drops the chair, as Hanson brings the cane down over Toxic’s back!  Toxic is down! 

 

(The crowd cheers Hanson on as he raises the cane in triumph.)

 

Bryan-  Hanson showing off that cane, but Toxic is getting back up!  Toxic chop blocks Hanson form behind!  See, never turn your back on Toxic!  Hanson is down, and Toxic has the cane now!

 

Yale-  Hanson gets to his feet, and Toxic charges in!  He brings the barbed wire down on Hanson’s face, and the Fueler is down!  And he’s busted wide open!  Toxic has made a quick turnaround here!

 

Bryan-  Toxic backs into the corner, as the ref begins counting Hanson!  But the Fueler is back up at three, and Toxic moves back in!  Toxic swings the cane again!  But Hanson sidesteps him, and hooks him up!  There’s a DDT!

 

Yale-  DDT on Toxic!  The referee kicks that barbed wire cane out of the ring, and the crowd doesn’t agree with that too much!  Fueler looks for his cane, but can’t find it, so he heads for the steel chair instead!

 

Bryan-  Toxic is rising, and Hanson has the chair!  Toxic gets to his feet and turns to the Fueler, who connects with a monstrous shot to the skull!  Toxic is down, and the referee is counting him down!

 

Yale-  Come on, get up!  The count is to five!  But Toxic is regaining his senses!  Wait, Hanson tucks the chair under his arm, and charges!  He drops an elbow with the chair, right to Toxic’s face!  What a move!

 

Bryan-  Amazing!  That may have done it right there!  But Hanson is clutching his ribs!  He may have injured himself on that move as well! 

 

(A replay of the elbow drop is shown in slow-motion.)

 

Yale-  Both men are still down, as the referee counts again!  Three, four, five, Hanson is up, but using the top rope for support!  Toxic is slowly moving, as the count gets to seven!  Toxic is to his knees, and the count is stopped!

 

Bryan-  Hanson sees Toxic getting up, and charges in!  But Toxic almost decapitates Hanson with a GIANT clothesline!  Hanson is seeing stars, as Toxic tries to regain his composure!  Toxic is back to his feet, as Hanson clutches his head!

 

Yale-  Wait a second, Toxic reaches into his tights, and pulls something out. . .Handcuffs!  Toxic has handcuffs!  He flips Hanson over, and cuffs his hands together!  Hanson is defenseless!

 

Bryan-  And Toxic has the steel chair now!  This is not good!  Hanson is getting to his feet, and Toxic creams him with the chair!  Hanson drops, and he’s got blood pouring out of his skull!  Toxic may have this thing won!

 

Yale-  Hanson is down, and the count has begun!  One, two, three, there is no way Hanson is going to be able to get up from that!  Six, seven. . .He’s stirring, JB!  Eight!  He’s to his knees!  Nine!  Hanson is up!  Hanson is still in this thing!

 

Bryan-  These two young men are giving us everything they’ve got!  But Hanson is still handcuffed!  Toxic still has the chair!  Hanson turns back to Toxic, and Toxic levels him with another chair shot!  My God what a shot that was!

 

Yale-  That’s got to be it!  There is no way Hanson can get up after that!  The count is on again, but it’s got to be over!  Four, five. . . no movement!  Six, seven. . .Look at this, JB!  Hanson is getting up again! 

 

Bryan-  Hanson is up at eight!  Toxic is furious!  Toxic heads to Hanson and kicks him in the gut!  What’s this?  Toxic lifts Hanson up!  POWERBOMB!  Powerbomb from Toxic to the seven foot monster Hanson!

 

Yale-  That was impressive, JB!  A powerbomb!  Now that has got to keep Hanson down for the ten count!  Three, four. . .Toxic knows this is it!  We have a new US champion, and it is Toxic!  Seven, eight, wait, Hanson is getting up again!  Nine. . .Hanson is up!

 

Bryan-  I do not believe this man!  Luke Hanson is still getting up, after two chair shots and a powerbomb!  What is it going to take to keep this young man down?  Toxic picks up the chair again, and swings for the fences!

 

Yale-  But Hanson ducks!  Hanson ducks it, and Toxic spins around!  OH, NO!  Hanson kicks Toxic right between the legs, and down he goes!  That was a blatant low blow!

 

Bryan-  But Hanson is handcuffed, David!  That’s fair in my book!  Hanson backs to the corner, and starts to climb up backwards!  Toxic is still down, as Hanson gets to the middle rope!  Wait, he’s going all the way up!

 

Yale-  Look at this balance!  Hanson is on the top turnbuckle with no hands!  He takes off!  FIVE-STAR FUELER SPLASH!  A giant splash form the top turnbuckle, and Hanson lands right on top of the prone Toxic!

 

Bryan-  That’s got to be it!  This has got to be over!  Both men are down!  The referee is counting!  Three, four, five, six. . .Hanson is starting to move!  Seven, eight, Hanson is up, but Toxic is moving as well!

 

Yale-  Nine. . . TEN!  Toxic couldn’t make it up in time!  Oh, NO!

 

(The bell rings as the crowd goes crazy.  A police officer runs to the ring to unlock Hanson’s cuffs.)

 

Andrews-  Here is your winner, and the NEW GCW United States Champion. . . ‘The Fueler’ Luke Hanson!

 

Bryan-  Toxic made it up, but just after the ten count!  Hanson has defeated Toxic in a Last Man Standing match, and that is a huge feather in the cap of Hanson!  Hanson has his belt, and is heading to celebrate with System-X, I’m sure!

 

Yale-  I can’t believe it, JB.  Toxic never loses these things!  But that amazing balance from Hanson to get to the top rope. . . Well, Toxic will have his shot at Hanson real soon, I promise you that!

 

(Toxic angrily walks to the back, flipping off the crowd on his way.)

 

Bryan-  Well, fans, the night is winding down, but we have so much more left to bring you!  We’ve seen so much more than we expected, and now we’re going to ringside to  see the result of a little business transaction between the President and the Commissioner.

 

(The lights dim and Take a Look Around hits.  The crowd goes crazy as Mr. Danger heads to the ring.)

 

Andrews-  The following contest is set for one fall, and there will be no disqualifications!  Introducing first, weighing in at 240 pounds, from Kansas City, Missouri, he is the GCW Commissioner. . .Mr. Danger!

 

(Danger steps into the ring, and the crowd cheers him again.  The cheers turn to boos quickly as Physical hits.  President Caldera emerges and heads for the ring, staring at Danger.)

 

Andrews-  And his opponent, from Columbus, Ohio, weighing in at two hundred fifty six pounds, he is the GCW President. . .Steven Caldera!!

 

Bryan-  This should be an interesting bout to say the least!

 

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

 

Bryan-  And here we go!  President Caldera against Commissioner Danger!  Caldera and Danger circle each other, and tie up in the center of the ring!  Caldera dips down for better leverage, and powers Danger back into the corner!

 

Yale-  The ref asks for a clean break, and Caldera slowly breaks off!  But he moves back in with a quick kick to the gut, as the ref admonishes him!  Hey, you can’t yell at the boss!

 

Bryan-  Caldera shoves the referee back!  The ref lands on the other side of the ring, as Caldera moves back to Danger!  But Danger explodes out of the corner with a clothesline!  Caldera is down!

 

Yale-  Oh, no!  Listen to these disrespectful fans!  They’re cheering the commissioner!  Danger lifts Caldera up and sends him into the ropes!  Caldera bounces back, and Danger tosses him with a back body drop!

 

Bryan-  Caldera rolls out of the ring to the floor, and Danger is in control!  Wait, Caldera has a microphone!

 

Caldera-  Okay, okay, that was pretty good.  But Mr. Danger, I realized something just now.  What I am about to do to you can’t possibly be legal, even in a wasteland like Rome!

 

(The crowd boos)

 

Caldera-  So I’d like to announce that this match is now no disqualification rules!

 

Bryan-  Oh, here we go with the rules made up as we go!  Caldera grabs a steel chair, and he’s abusing his power!  Caldera slides into the ring, and backs Danger into the corner!  Danger has nowhere to go!

 

Yale-  Caldera rears back, but Danger boots him in the gut!  Caldera drops the chair and staggers back!  Danger has the chair now!  Danger charges in, but Caldera hits a drop toe hold on Danger, and Danger’s face lands right on the chair!

 

Bryan-  Caldera lifts the chair up, as Danger slowly regains his footing!  Caldera rears back, and levels Danger with a shot to the skull!  Danger goes down, and rolls to the floor!  Caldera chases him out!

 

Yale-  See, the President is in control!  He covers Danger on the floor, but the referee won’t count!  Caldera demands the count be made, but the ref still refuses!  So Caldera demands the microphone back!

 

Caldera-  Just so everyone knows, in this match, falls will count anywhere in the building!

 

Bryan-  Oh, great!  Caldera covers Danger again!  ONE!  TWO!!  THR-  Danger kicks out!  Caldera is livid!  Now what’s he doing?

 

Yale-  He’s got the microphone back!

 

Caldera-  All right, if I can’t keep Danger down, maybe a giant steel cage will!  LOWER THE HELL IN A CELL!  Lower it right now!

 

Bryan-  What?!  We’ve seen enough of that cell for one night, damn it!  But it’s coming down!  Danger is back to his feet, but Caldera nails him with another chair shot!  Danger is down on the floor, as the cell continues to lower!

 

Yale-  That’s it!  The cell is lowering over top of Danger!  Caldera is going to use the cell to pin him!  The cell is almost down, and Caldera has Danger positioned right underneath it!  Here is comes!

 

Bryan-  My God, that’ll kill him!  Stop it right now!  Wait, Danger rakes Caldera’s eyes!  Caldera breaks off, and Danger gets out of the way before the cell touches the ground!  Now Caldera is inside the cell, and Danger is outside!

 

Yale-  And the door is still locked!  How are they going to get to each other, JB?!  Danger is pounding the side of the cell in frustration, but the chain link is holding strong!  Now what?  Danger is climbing the cell! 

 

Bryan-  Mr. Danger is climbing the side of the hell in a cell!  The top panel of that cell is still broken from the hard*core title match earlier!  Caldera sees it, and now he’s to the hanging panel!  Caldera’s climbing, too!

 

Yale-  Caldera is climbing the broken panel, as Mr. Danger gets to the top!  Danger is demanding a microphone!  The ref tosses him one, as Caldera clings to the broken, hanging panel!

 

Danger-  Two can play at this game, you asshole!  RAISE THE CELL!  RAISE THE DAMN THING UP!

 

Bryan-  WHAT!?  Caldera is still hanging from the broken panel, trying to climb!  And the cell is rising!  I don’t believe it!  Caldera is hanging from the cell, as it rises above the ring!  Five, ten, fifteen, Caldera is in trouble!

 

Yale-  STOP!  Get some help!  Get a ladder!  Get a net!  Get the fire department!  President Caldera is hanging from above the ring, from that swinging broken panel!  He’s got to be fifteen, twenty feet above the ring!

 

Bryan-  And Danger is standing above him, laughing!  How can he be enjoying this?!  Caldera is climbing for his life now, as Danger watches from above!  Caldera is almost to the top, but Danger stomps on his hand!

 

Yale-  Let him up!  Danger won’t let Caldera get to the top!  The cell has stopped rising, but Caldera and Danger are hanging twenty feet above the ring!  Caldera is still trying to climb to the safety of the top of the cell, but Danger won’t let him up!

 

Danger-  Come on, Steven!  Come on, Mr. President! 

 

(Danger kneels down, staring at Caldera.)

 

Danger-  You don’t look quite so powerful now, do you?  You don’t-

 

Bryan-  Wait, wait, WAIT!  Caldera reaches up and pulls Danger over the edge!  Danger catches himself on the edge of that hanging panel, and both Caldera and Danger are hanging precariously above the ring!

 

Yale-  Now, finally, the cell is lowering!  Both Caldera and Danger are hanging, and Caldera is kicking Danger in the head!  Danger is clutching the broken panel, a few feet below Caldera!  And Caldera is trying to knock Danger off the cell!

 

Bryan-  The cell is lowering, as Caldera kicks Danger repeatedly in the head!  WOAH!  Danger loses his grip, and slides down a few feet!  He’s hanging from the bottom of that cell, but they’re slowly lowering the cage to the ring!

 

Yale-  Caldera is climbing down a bit, as well, and he boots Danger in the head again!  And Danger loses his grip!  Danger falls about eight feet to the mat!  Danger is hurting bad, as the cell lowers the last few feet to the floor!

 

Bryan-  Caldera drops to the ring, as Danger lies motionless below!  Caldera sees his chance, and covers!  But the referee was outside of the cell when it lowered!  The referee can’t get inside to make the count!

 

Yale-  Caldera is shouting for a referee, as the ref spots the broken part on the side!  The Ref runs and steps inside!  Caldera has the cover on Danger, who fell eight feet to the ring!  Here’s the count!

 

Bryan-  ONE!  TWO!!  THRE-  NO!!!  Danger gets a shoulder up!  Danger gets a shoulder up!  I do not believe it!

 

Yale-  How the hell did he do that?!  And that idiot referee should have been inside the cell when it lowered!

 

Bryan-  The commissioner is still in this match!  But how much can he have left after that drop from the cell?!  Caldera lifts Danger up, and hooks him up!  Belly to belly suplex!  Danger is in real trouble here, as the President lifts him up again!

 

Yale-  Caldera hooks Danger’s leg, and flips him over!  Fisherman suplex into a bridge!  ONE!  TWO!!  THREE-  DANGER GETS A SHOULDER UP!  How in the hell is he doing that?!

 

Bryan-  Caldera is furious with the referee!  Caldera has the ref by the collar, and he rears back and levels him!  The referee is out, but luckily there’s another on his way!  The second referee hops into the ring, tentatively staring at the President!

 

Yale-  Caldera is shouting something at the ref, as Danger slowly gets to his feet!  Caldera turns to face him, but Danger kicks him in the gut!  Danger sets Caldera up for the big powerbomb!

 

Bryan-  This could be it!  Danger lifts Caldera up!  DANGER BOMB!  There’s the big powerbomb that put the boss down for the one two three earlier this week!  But Danger is too worn out to make the cover!

 

Yale-  The crowd is going crazy, JB!  Danger slowly rolls over and drapes and arm over the boss!  ONE!  TWO!!  THREE!!!-NO!  Caldera kicked out at the last possible second!  I don’t believe it!

 

Bryan-  Neither do these Roman fans!  But this thing is going to continue!  Both men are down, but it looks like Danger is SOMEHOW getting to his feet!  The Commissioner is slowly getting to his feet!

 

Yale-  Incredible!  How is he doing it?  Danger is up!  But Caldera is slowly getting to all fours, trying to recover from that powerbomb!  Danger lifts Caldera up, and tosses him out to the floor!  Danger slowly follows Caldera out!

 

Bryan-  The cell is slowly rising again!  What the hell is going on?!  Who’s controlling that thing?  And why is it rising again?!  Danger lifts Caldera up, and sends him headfirst into the steel steps!

 

Yale-  The cell has stopped rising a few feet above the ring!  Who is up there controlling that thing, JB?  Danger lifts Caldera up, and sets him up for another Powerbomb!  This could finish the President off!

 

Bryan-  NO!  Caldera stands and backdrops Danger to the floor!  Both men are hurting, as Caldera lifts Danger up!  Caldera hooks Danger up, and tosses him into a big belly to belly suplex!  Danger is really hurting, and he’s right under the cell now!

 

Yale-  Caldera is shouting for the cell to be lowered!  And here it comes!  The hell in a cell is lowering again!  Who the hell is doing this?!  Wait, this is genius!  The cell is coming down right on top of Danger!

 

Bryan-  The cell has been lowered on top of the commissioner!  That thing is crushing him!  Caldera drops and covers him!  ONE!  TWO!!  THREE!!!  Damn it all to hell!

 

(The crowd boos relentlessly as Physical plays again.  President Caldera’s arm is raised, as he looks for a weapon.  Caldera grabs a steel chair from under the ring.)

 

Andrews-  Here is your winner, Steven Caldera!

 

Bryan-  Caldera has won this match, but who was controlling the cell?!  Caldera is pounding on Danger, who is still lying helpless under the cell! 

 

(The camera switches to a split screen.  On the right is the match, on the left is the control room.  A controlman is lying unconscious on the floor in the background.  Holding the controls is Octavian.)

 

Yale-  That’s it!  Octavian took things over, and helped Caldera!  What a plan, JB!

 

Bryan-  The President has destroyed the commissioner, as officials rush to the control room!  Finally, they get the controls from Octavian and raise the cage from Danger’s chest!  But the damage is done, and Caldera has won!

 

Yale-  How can you argue the genius of that plan, JB?  Even these Romans have to admit it was perfect!  Danger has been destroyed, and maybe now he’ll think twice before messing with the boss!

 

Bryan-  I don’t believe it!  That damn cell has been seen twice tonight, and I hope we never see it again!  Mr. Danger is being helped out on a stretcher, after the cell came down on top of him!

 

Yale-  And the boss is walking out of here on his own two feet!  This has got to be an omen of things to come, JB!  The Establishment is invincible!

 

Bryan-  Well, fans, despite what we’ve just seen, we’re going to have to move along!  That damn cell is out of the way, and now it’s time for the iron man match!

 

Yale-  I can’t wait!

 

(The lights dim in the arena, and a murmur arises from the crowd.  The bell rings twice to signal the main event.)

 

Andrews-  The following contest is a sixty minute iron man match for the Global Championship Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship!

 

(The lights go up with a bang as Born to be wild hits.  The crowd erupts as Rollins confidently struts to the ring, tossing his bandana to the crowd on his way.)

 

Andrews-  Introducing first, weighing in at two hundred twenty five pounds, Rich ‘The Renegade’ Rollins!

 

(The crowd continues cheering as Rollins hops into the ring and mounts the turnbuckle.  He cheers along with the crowd as the lights dim and Born to be Wild fades out.  The crowd erupts again as Debonair hits, and Khan slowly stalks the ring.)

 

Andrews-  And from Hokkaido, Japan, weighing in at two hundred seventy eight pounds. . . Khan!

 

Bryan-  Both Khan and the Renegade returned at Warpath, and now at Shockwave they both have a shot at what they want the most!

 

(Khan removes his robe and sets it aside.  He steps into the ring, and locks eyes with Rollins.  They stare at each other for a few moments, before Khan enters the ring and takes a neutral corner.)

 

Yale-  It looks like tension is still high between these two following their match a few weeks ago!  Remember, Rollins came in bragging about being the only guy to beat Khan, and then Khan redeemed himself by beating Rollins a few weeks ago on Meltdown.

 

(Might of Rome hits next, and the intense cheers immediately turn to boos.  Octavian struts to the ring as his pyro goes off behind him.  He seems confused as to why his home country is booing him, but he continues anyway.)

 

Andrews-  And their opponent, from Rome, Italy, weighing in at two hundred eighty pounds, he is the GCW World Heavyweight Champion. . . Octavian!

 

Yale-  Listen to these moronic Italians, JB!  They’re booing their hometown hero!

 

Bryan-  Why ever would they do that?  Octavian seems a bit reluctant to step into the ring with Rollins and Khan, but he slowly removes his belt and slides in!

 

Yale-  This is it, JB!  The iron man match!  What can we expect out of this one?!

 

(The three men meet in the center with the referee in the middle.  He explains the rules as they listen.)

 

Referee-  This is a sixty minute iron man match.  Whoever has the most decisions at the end of the time limit will be awarded the World Title.  Decisions are scored by pinfall or submission only.  Does everyone understand?

 

(The three men nod, and they are sent to their corners.)

 

Bryan-  There you have it!  Here we go!

 

(The bell rings, and the crowd goes crazy.)

 

Bryan-  This is it!  Rollins and Octavian have locked eyes, but it’s Khan that jumps first!  He’s going right for Octavian!  Khan opens up with some quick right hands, as Rollins watches from across the ring!

 

Yale-  Octavian manages to get a few shots in, but Khan is overpowering him!  Khan sends Octavian into the ropes, and the champ bounces back!  Octavian runs right into a dropkick from Khan!

Yale-  And the crowd is loving this!  These Romans are idiots!  Well, not Octavian anyway. . . Well, you know what I mean!  Rollins breaks off his assault, and Khan moves in!  He drops a leg over Octavian’s head!

 

Bryan-  Octavian is getting pummeled here!  Rollins watches as Khan pulls Octavian up and tosses him to the outside!  Now this leaves Rollins and Khan in the ring!  Rollins moves in behind Khan, but Khan senses him coming!

 

Yale-  Khan turns around, but Rollins gives him a series of rights!  Khan fires back with a knife-edge chop!  Rollins takes over, and sends Khan into the ropes!  Khan bounces back, and Rollins catches him with a back elbow!

 

Bryan-  Khan goes down, and Rollins moves in!  He slaps on a side headlock, as Octavian slowly regains his bearings on the floor!  Rollins is taking it slow here, and he may have the advantage in this match!

 

Yale-  That’s right!  This isn’t personal for him, he just wants the gold!  Khan and Octavian are preoccupied with pain!  Octavian is wisely taking his time getting back into the ring, as Rollins clamps down on that headlock!

 

Bryan-  Khan slowly begins to power up!  Khan gets to his feet, and buries an elbow in Renegade’s gut!  And another!  A third breaks the hold!  Khan gets a head of steam, and bounces off the ropes!  But Octavian reaches in and trips him up!

 

Yale-  Khan turns to face him, and Rollins charges!  But Khan sees him coming, ducks, and tosses the incoming Renegade over the top rope!  Oh, my, and he lands with a cross body on the champ!  What an exchange!

 

Bryan-  Great mid-air correction by Rollins to take out Octavian!  We’re five minutes into the match, as Khan now bounces off the ropes on the far side!  Rollins and Octavian are up and exchanging blows, but Khan charges and leaps over the top rope!

Bryan-  Now Octavian sees his opening!  He leaps onto Khan’s back, and locks on a sleeper hold!  Khan drops to a knee under the weight, as Rollins retreats to a corner to take a breather!

 

Yale-  Khan is fading fast, as Octavian wrenches back with that sleeper!  The referee checks his arm!  Once up. . . once down!  Twice up. . .twice down!  Once more, and Octavian gets the first fall!  Third time up. . . and Rollins dropkicks Octavian in the face!

 

Bryan-  The hold is broken up by the Renegade before Octavian could get the fall!  But I think Khan is still in it, anyway.  Rollins lifts Octavian up and sends him into the turnbuckle!  Khan is back up, as Rollins charges in with a clothesline to Octavian!

 

Yale-  And Khan follows Rollins with a cross body in the corner!  Khan plants both Rollins and the champion, and flies over the top rope!  Khan lands on the apron, as Rollins falls to the mat, and Octavian remains slouched in the corner!

Bryan-  Yeah, for a big hug, I’ll bet.  These Roman fans hate the Italian Stallion for selling out to the President!  Rollins chases Octavian up the steps and into this hot Roman crowd!  They’re going at it in the crowd, as Khan rises in the ring!

 

Yale-  Khan is simply catching his breath in the ring, and that’s a smart move on his part!  Rollins is still hammering away at Octavian in the stands, as the Raging Roman tries to make his way back to the relative safety of the ring!

Bryan-  Very resourceful move there by Rollins to even the score!  We’re about twenty-eight minutes into this match, and the score is a three way tie!  One fall each!

 

Yale-  That damn Renegade!  Octavian had that one!  Khan is slowly getting to his feet, which is amazing after that piledriver!  Rollins sees him, and moves in!  But Khan catches him with a hip toss!

 

Bryan-  Rollins goes Rollins under the ropes and out to the floor!  Meanwhile, Octavian is up behind Khan!  Octavian moves in behind Khan, but Khan lowers his head and tosses Octavian over the top to the floor next to Rollins!

Bryan-  He’s made his way to the timekeeper, and he’s got a steel chair!  This match was bad enough without weapons involved, for God’s sake!  Octavian is back in the ring with the chair, as Rollins gets to his feet!

 

Yale-  Rollins is up, and he turns to Octavian!  OH, MAN!  Octavian levels Rollins with a monstrous chair shot to the skull!  The Renegade is down, and he may be out!  But Khan is up behind Octavian!

Bryan-  Wait, Khan jumps to the middle ropes, and moonsaults back!  MY GOD!  WHAT IMPACT!  Khan hits a springboard moonsault onto Octavian, and both men go crashing through the Italian announce table!

 

(The crowd cheers in amazement.)

Bryan-  The pace of this match is really slowing, but who can blame these guys?  Over forty-seven minutes of grueling battle, and we still have about thirteen left!  Now, slowly, Khan and Rollins are picking themselves up to try to continue!

 

Yale-  Rollins fires a fist first, and Khan returns it!  Neither one of them have much power behind those punches anymore!  Finally, Khan backs into the ropes and charges at Rollins!  Rollins sidesteps him, and Khan bounces off the other side!

Bryan-  Octavian is hurting, as Khan throws a mean clothesline!  But Octavian ducks, and wrenches Khan down into a reverse armbar!  Octavian is really pulling back on that arm, trying to gain a submission!

 

Yale-  And a fall at this point mean more and more!  We’ve got a little over ten minutes left, and if Octavian were to score a fall here, it could win the match for him! 

 

Bryan-  But I don’t think Khan will give up!  He’d rather have a broken arm than lose the match to Octavian, in my view!  Wait, Rollins is back up, but he’s just letting the hold go!  Finally, Octavian releases Khan, as the match dwindles down!

 

Yale-  Ten minutes left!  Just ten minutes left!  This is coming down to the wire, JB, and nobody has a distinct advantage!  Octavian gets back to his feet, and turns to the Renegade!  Octavian moves in, but Rollins catches him with a boot to the gut!

 

Bryan-  And there’s a swinging neck breaker!  Rollins covers!  ONE!  TWO!!  Octavian gets a shoulder up again!  Somebody’s going to have to score a fall at some point in the next nine minutes or so!

 

Yale-  But it doesn’t look like anybody is going to give, JB!  All three of these men want the gold more than anything!  Rollins is slowly to his feet, and Khan is recovering, though he’s now favoring his arm!

Bryan-  And we’re down to just five minutes left, fans, and this is it!  One fall apiece!  All three men are exhausted from fifty five minutes of battle!  But it appears as if Octavian is in control here!

 

Yale-  Khan and Rollins are both down, but it looks like Khan may be recovering!  Octavian is  slouched in the corner, as Khan pulls himself up!  Somebody is going to have to get a fall in the next few minutes!

 

Bryan-  Oh, for the love of. . . Now what?  Here comes President Caldera!!!

 

(The crowd boos like hell as Caldera makes his way to the ring.  He stops at the apron, but remains on the floor.)

 

Yale-  He’s just here to make sure things go down fairly!

 

Bryan-  Oh, sure.  After this much, don’t let it end like this!

 

Yale-  Hey, wait, here comes the Jhub!  What’s he doing out here?! 

 

(The crowd goes crazy as the Jhub rushes to the ring, and assaults Caldera from behind.)

 

Bryan-  The Jhub is here for the President!  The Jhub is assaulting the President of the company!  Octavian is on the move, and is heading for the Jhub!  But Khan intercepts him!  Khan steps in the way, and begins throwing punches!

 

Yale-  The crowd is loving it!  Rollins is slowly rising, as Khan pummels the champion!  Four minutes and counting!  The Jhub is still pummeling the President on the outside!

 

Bryan-  Khan rears back and clotheslines Octavian to the mat!  Now Rollins is back up, and is realizing what’s going on!  Khan turns to him, and Rollins moves in!  Rollins and Khan are going at it now!

 

Yale-  Wait, Caldera and the Jhub are still fighting, but Caldera has slid into the ring!  What’s this?!  Caldera is in the ring to escape the Jhub, but Rollins and Khan have spotted him!  They look at each other, and begins stomping away at the President!

 

Bryan-  Finally the President is getting what he deserves!  The crowd is eating it up!

 

Yale-  These sadistic Roman fans!

 

Bryan-  Three minutes and change left on the clock, and this match is still even!  Wait, Octavian has bailed out of the ring to the floor.  He’s got a steel chair!  Octavian slides back into the ring, as Rollins and Khan continue to pound on the President!

 

Yale-  The Jhub has a chair, as well, but he’s observing from the floor!  Octavian is back into the ring, and he’s behind Rollins with that chair!  He clobbers Rollins in the back of the skull!  The Renegade is down!

 

Bryan-  Khan turns, and Octavian gives him a shot as well!  Khan is down, and Octavian is in control!  Two and a half minutes left!  We’re down to the wire!

 

Yale-  Wait, now the Jhub is in the ring!  The President is up, as the Jhub stares down Octavian!  Rollins is still down, but Khan is getting up!  Khan is pulling himself up the turnbuckle, as the Jhub and Octavian stare each other down, each armed with steel chairs!

 

Bryan-  Rollins is trying to recover, but he can’t shake the cobwebs out!  Two minutes!  Caldera is up and taking refuge behind his champion!  The Jhub moves first!  He tosses his chair at Octavian, but the champ ducks!  And Caldera catches it!

 

Yale-  Octavian has the Jhub cornered now!  The Jhub is unarmed and. . . WHAT IN THE HELL?!?!?

 

(The crowd releases a collective “Huh?!”  as Caldera rears back as clobbers Octavian with his chair.)

 

Bryan-  What the hell was that?!  Caldera just hit Octavian with the chair!  And the Jhub catches Octavian on the way down with a Downward Spiral!  What the hell is going on?!

 

Yale-  The Jhub and President Caldera have assaulted Octavian!  What on earth is this?!  Khan is up to the top turnbuckle, though!  Caldera turns to see him. . . and tosses him the chair?! 

 

Bryan-  What?!  And the Jhub is cheering him on!  The Jhub hops out of the ring, as Khan takes off!  ARABIAN FACEBUSTER ON OCTAVIAN!  If somebody knows what is going on, I’d like to know!

 

Yale-  President Caldera tossed Khan the chair!  The Jhub tossed Caldera the chair!  And they’ve destroyed Octavian with a minute to go!  What is going on?  Wait, Rollins is back up!  The Renegade is back up!  What part does he have to play in this?!

 

Bryan-  Caldera turns to face him. . . And Rollins nails him with a superkick!  Superkick on the President!  Caldera is down!  The boss is down with just over thirty seconds left!  Octavian has been destroyed, and the Jhub is pulling Caldera out of the ring!

Bryan-  IT’S OVER!  ROLLINS WINS!  THE RENEGADE IS THE CHAMPION!

 

Andrews-  Here is your winner, and the NEW GCW World Heavyweight champion. . . Rich ‘The Renegade’ Rollins!

 

Bryan-  Whatever the hell is going on here, Rollins has snuck in a quick last minute fall and won the match!  But what is going on with Caldera, Khan, and the Jhub?!

 

Yale-  Wait, the Jhub is in the ring behind Rollins!  Rollins is celebrating with the title, but the Jhub is behind him with that chair!  Rollins turns. . .and the Jhub cracks him over the skull with the chair! 

 

Bryan-  What the hell was that?!  Now Caldera and Khan are in the ring!  Khan is going to the top, and the Jhub tosses him the chair!  Khan flies!  ARABIAN FACEBUSTER ON THE CHAMP!  Khan has delivered the Arabian facebuster twice, but did not pick up the win!

 

Yale-  Obviously, there was some plan here that backfired!  That damn Renegade!  But Rollins is out cold now, at the hands of the Jhub, Khan, and President Caldera!  Look at this!

 

(The crowd boos like crazy as Caldera, Khan, and Jhub raise each other’s arms in the middle of the ring, standing over the fallen Octavian and Rollins.)

 

Bryan-  Damn it, Caldera has screwed us again!  Khan and the Jhub have turned their backs on everyone and sold their souls to the Establishment!  WHY!?!?

 

Yale-  This is great!  This is the way it all started, JB!  Caldera, Khan, and the Jhub back together at last!  I never thought I’d see the day!

 

Bryan-  But the Renegade has won this match!  The Renegade is the true iron man, and he is the World Champion!  Fans, we’re out of time!  Join us on Wednesday for Meltdown, and maybe we’ll get some answers!  Damn it. . .

 

(The show fades out as Caldera, Khan, and the Jhub stand tall in the ring.)
