Opening

RW: WELCOME TO INFERNO!

JC: Yes, the first two matches have been cancelled due to a local epidemic outburst of the ebola virus. That leaves us with a double main event!

Match Number One
Shawn Walsh vs. The Almighty Bear
( Hardcore Championship Match )

Remedy by Seether kicks up the speakers, and the crowd roars. The Almighty Bear walks out of the back, raises two fingers in the air, pointing skyward, and ambles down to the ring. He sheds his trenchcoat, hands it to a waiting techie, then pulls off his red shirt, throwing it into the crowd. He climbs into the ring and removes his glasses, handing them to another tech.

The lights in the arena dim and then fade completely out. Suddenly two huge, gold lightning bolts strike the sides of the stage. Blue pyro goes off from the points of impact and move to the center of the stage to meet in one giant explosion. "God of the Mind" by Disturbed begins to blare over the sound system. Red strobe lights then begin to flash about the arena. Just before the song picks up again, you can hear a voice say...

"In Shawn We Trust... Mortal..."

Followed by an extremely cocky chuckle. The crowd rises to their feet with horrendous boos as they know who is to come. "The Answer" Shawn Walsh emerges from the backstage area wearing a black, leather jacket and a pair of black sunglasses. He has on no shirt and wears a pair of baggy, crimson pants. Over his right shoulder is his Hardcore Championship belt.

Chimpo: Now on his way to the ring... From Jacksonville, Florida... "The Answer" SHAWN WALSH!!!!

( Walsh smirks and struts down to the ring, making obscene gestures at the fans, causing them go even more insane with hatred. Walsh reaches the ring and jumps up onto the apron. He chuckles and paces back and forth for a moment before leaping over the top rope and into the ring. He climbs the turnbuckle and raises the Hardcore Title to the crowd, getting even more boos. He blows sarcastic kisses out to his "fans". Walsh jumps down and places the Title in the hands of the referee. He strips himself of his jacket. He throws his glasses towards the first row of the arena, in an attempt to hit - and hopefully injure - a fan.

The Almighty Bear charges Walsh while he has his back to him. He squashes Walsh in the turnbuckle and hits Shawn with a hard snap German suplex. Walsh riles on the floor in pain as he lands on his neck then rolls out of the ring. Bear is right behind him though as he climbs over the top rope and hits Walsh across that neck with a double ax handle jumping from the apron to the floor.

JC: The Almighty Bear completely towers over Walsh and he is kicking the crap out of the hardcore champion because of it!

Walsh climbs to his feet and ducks a huge charging clothesline from The Almighty Bear. Then the nimble champion spins quickly and dropkicks Bear in the back, sending him over the security rail and into the crowd! Bear is helped to his feet by some fans only to be hit by an impressive cross body as Shawn Walsh jumps off the apron and flies! But Bear catches him! He doesn’t even stagger and he throws Walsh over back onto the ringside mats.

RW: Have you ever seen anything like that?!

As Bear climbs over, Walsh has picked up a steel chair from under the ring and hits him with it. The skull shattering shot doesn’t even make the Almighty Bear flinch, as he then charges forward and spears Walsh! Bear picks up the chair and as if he’s lost it, starts beating Walsh with it while he’s on the floor! Walsh looks like he’s out of it when Bear finally throws the chair away.

JC: It doesn’t really look like a chair anymore.

Bear walks around the ring and lifts up the apron. He throws out a ladder, a few cinder blocks, an LCD widescreen TV, glass tubes, a fire rocket, a fire extinguisher and finally he picks up the Hardcore title. By this Walsh is up onto his feet and groggily climbs into the ring. Bear sees him but continues to set up two cinder block towers, three high and then rests the TV over them. Care free, Bear puts the Hardcore title over his huge shoulder and then turns to see Walsh jumping off the apron with the Asai moonsault. The Almighty Bear catches Walsh again, this time grabbing his head and then he staggers back, dropping him over the announcer’s table for some kind of Samoan neck breaker come stunner as Walsh head crashes down onto his own title!

RW: WHOA!

JC: The risk of being Fearless doesn’t always pay off.

Bear lifts Walsh up and then goes for a snap suplex off the table to the floor. Walsh fights out somehow then soccer kicks Bear in the jaw, finally getting the upper hand as he hits the Dragon attack! He keeps on top as goes for a pin.

ONE

TWO

NO! The Almighty Bear just kicks out. Walsh slides along the floor on his knees and pulls out a flashlight from under the apron. He bitchslaps the Almighty Bear sending his glasses to the floor, then he flashes the light into his eyes, sending Bear staggering back and shouting out.

RW: What a sly prick! Walsh is taking control of Bear’s Stargardt's disease!

Bear starts punching out into the air hoping to connect with Walsh. Shawn sets up the ladder at the edge of the ring then picks up Bear’s glasses and slams them into his face, breaking the lenses and cutting up both Shawn’s hands and Bear’s face pretty good. Shawn struggles to hit the Conspiracy Theory, so attempts the Engulfed. In the end he settles with kneeing Bear in the groin and rolling him into the ring. Shawn shouts at Amanda Summer to give him a lighter.

RW: That’s what you get when you smoke fifty a day, Amanda. You get a reputation!

She hands it over and then he jumps up onto the apron and starts peeling off the turnbuckle cover. He grabs the lace from it and picks up the fire rocket before sliding into the ring. He lifts the Almighty Bear up and this time hits the Conspiracy Theory. He takes a few seconds to grab his breath but they Walsh ties the lace around Bear’s ankle. He ties the other end to the fire rocket and then tucks the end of it into his boot. Shawn quickly lights it and then throws himself out of the ring. The camera focuses on Walsh as he squeezes his eyes shut and covers his ears but the rocket never goes off!

JC: The referee has just covered the Almighty Bear in foam!

He holds the fire extinguisher and the Bear is indeed covered in foam! But so is the fire rocket and all sorts of people come running down from the back to take it backstage. The ref screams at Walsh but he points out he wasn’t the one who pulled it out of the ring. Shoving the referee back, he picks the Bear up onto his feet and whips him hard into the turnbuckle with no padding! Bear arches his back in pain then staggers forward.

Then he goes for the High Voltage, but somehow Bear ducks and out of no where he hits him with the Maul! But then instead of covering, the Almighty Bear falls back and lies there.

RW: Come on Bear! Get up! Pin his punk ass!

It takes what feels like an eternity for Walsh to get to his feet and for Bear to react. They get to their feet at the same time and start exchanging fists. Walsh goes for the arm drag then hit a hurricanrana that Bear gets right back up from, then Bear follows up with some sort of Cactus clothesline that sends them both to the outside. They get up quickly and Bear gets the upper hand between a second exchange of punches. Bear holds a headlock, then drops to hit a bulldog. Walsh is quick up again and catches the glass tube Bear throws to him.

JC: How is Bear still fighting without those glasses?

The of them take their stance, wielding a glass tube. They swing and miss one another until the Bear charges and Walsh dodges his swing. Walsh smashes the glass tube over the back of The Almighty Bear’s head! But the Bear just turns around and returns the favour. They look at one another and then the remnants of the glass tubes.

RW: GLASS TUBES ARE SHIT!

Walsh kicks Bear in the knee and then rolls back into the ring. He follows and he is met by a piledriver and then the 24K. He goes for a pin but only gets a two count. Bear powers out. Walsh whips The Almighty Bear into the ropes and hits a powerslam! Walsh then grabs his Hardcore title and climbs to the top! He jumps off for the Total Effect with the title around his waist! Bear isn’t there though, he’s gone! Walsh hits the floor hard!

RW: Bear is up!

And he peels off the hardcore belt from Walsh. He lifts the champion up and introduces him to the title in new ways when he lifts Shawn over his head with a military press. He drops Walsh down over it and walks towards the ladder.

JC: Uh-oh. I know for a fact when The Almighty Bear wants to get high up he has every intention to end this thing. I think we could have a new Hardcore champion here tonight!

Walsh gets up somehow and knocks the ladder and Bear just about hangs on as he wavers about. Walsh climbs to the top to meet him.

But Bear pushes him off and Walsh hits the mat hard. Bear now grabs Walsh and hits his Maul! Bear tired covers wlash 1..2…3!

RW: Bear wins the Hardcore Title!

Winner: The Almighty Bear

JC: Great match by both guys.

Match Number Two
Hardcore Hect vs. Louis Cypher
( US Title Match )

As the sound of "Du Hast" by Rammstein plays over the P.A. system, the arena goes dark. The spotlights in the arena start to strobe in unison with the beat of the song. At the entrance way a light under the stage strobes to the song, as smoke fills the way. Out from the back comes Hectzilla, dressed in a black hooded robe, which covers his head to the point you cannot see his eyes.

He stands, looking around the arena, and then raises his hands in the air. The lights come back on and Hardcore Hect makes his way to the ring. He uses the ringsteps to make his way to the apron, where he walks to the center of the apron, looking into the ring. He reaches up with both hands to his hood, like he's going to pull it back, but instead rips the hood, followed by the robe, in half, and lets it fall to the ground. Hect gets into the ring and goes to a corner, where he kneels facing the turnbuckle, waiting for the match to start.

South of Heaven by Slayer begins to play and Louis Cypher walks out onto the ramp, then down the ring and slides in under the bottom rope.

RW: The champion is really giving Cypher some stick!

Hect mocks Cypher then runs across the rings and deals him a perfect dropkick that sends him running into the ropes. Cypher goes for a clothesline but Hect drops to the floor and Cypher keeps on going. He goes for a second clothesline but Hect gives him the thumb to the eye and hits him with three successive snap suplexes. Then he goes for a quick cover and gets a one count, causing Cypher to throw him off and get to his feet.

RW: Hect is looking good tonight!

They exchange punches and Cypher gets the upper hand, forcing Hect into a headlock which he turns into a throwover toss. On the mat, he keeps the headlock until Hect fights back up onto his feet, where by Cypher alters the lock and drops Hect with a huge DDT. He rolls Hect over onto his front and locks in the Boston Crab! Hect is quick to reach the ropes though and powers out.

RW: Good signs of ability from the former world champion.

He swings under the bottom rope and stands on the apron. When Cypher goes to throw him over the top, Hect guillotines his throat over the top rope as he drops down to the outside. He quickly climbs up to the top rope and attempts a body splash, but Cypher sits up and avoids it. Louis turns around and locks in a blatant choke on Hect.

JC: It will be good to see where these two men go from here now they have been knocked out of the Lethal Lottery. I would say they could grab whichever title they want… they just have to get past one another before they do that.

The referee pulls Cypher off and Hect sneaks in a low blow while the referee argues with Cypher. He lifts Cypher up and hits the cross arm german suplex, which he uses to pin! The ref drops to his knees.

ONE!

TWO!

THR-

KICKOUT! Somehow Cypher just manages to kick out and Hect lays in the boots, kicking Cypher to the outside. The referee looks down and starts the count out. He gets to five before Cypher is on his feet and then Hect taunts him by pretending to go for a suicide plancha. He ducks out of the way and ends up facing the crowd. They boo him and he justs laughs. However, it gives the champion the chance to sneak up behind him, bang his head on the guard rail and throw him back under the bottom rope.

RW: Good tactics from Hect, I suppose.

Hect rolls in after him and lifts Cypher so that he sits on the top rope. It looks like he’s going for a brainbuster from the second rope until Cypher fights out and out of no where manages to lift Hect up for Back to Hell – the top rope powerbomb!!

JC: If he hits that, Hect has one short reign as the US champion!

And by gosh, does he try to throw Hect to the mat with all the force he has left in him! He even jumps off! But Hect reverses the move in mid air and lands a huge sitout faceplant on Cypher. He rolls him over for the cover.

ONE!

TWO!

RW: The ref says Cypher’s foot is under the bottom rope!

He’s broken up the count. Hect is irate but turns back to Cypher just to be given one of the worst big boots in his life! Worst as in ferocious, not as in pansy crap. Cypher lifts Hect up and hits him with a double ax handle to send him back to the turnbuckle. Cypher starts hitting the crap out of Hect’s midsection then grabs him by the throat and tosses him across the ring!

JC: There is no doubt that today Cypher is one of the, if not the strongest competitor in SFT.

Cypher runs across the ring and hits a jumping elbow drop, then he climbs to the top rope and hits a diving elbow drop from the top rope! He still doesn’t pin though. He smirks as he lifts Hect up onto his feet. He nudges him a couple of times, then whips him into the ropes and hits a huge knee to his midsection. Then he hits Hect with a massive headbutt. Hect doesn’t go down though. He just looks at Cypher in a less-than-impressed manner. Cypher goes for a second headbutt and still there is nothing.

RW: Hect has balls of steel! And an even harder head!

From the rampway we see Aidan Morag come running into the ring .

RW: Aidan is charging down the ramp!!!

JC: What the hell is this??

Aidan slides into the ring and nails Hect from behind witha double axe hammer. Aidan bounces off the ropes and nails Hect with a dropkick, sending him to the mat. Aidan then sats him up and nails the Satans Call in the center of the ring. Aidan grabs a mic and the US Title...

Aidan: Listen good bitch. I beat your ass last week on Titans and yet this whole week my name came out your mouth. You think that was fluke? Huh, is that what you think? If thats the case put this belt on the line and let's do it again.

Aidan tosses the title and the mic to the ground and exits the ring.


Winner: Hardcore Hect via DQ

Ending

RW: Great show! Short, but I think that might have been the best thing I have ever seen in my life!

JC: Just die.
