SFT Presents Hallowed Ground
III: Day of the Dead
Live from Mellon Arena in
Pittsburgh, PA
|
[[[As the fans settle in with
their popcorn and beer, the lights go out and the arena goes completely
dark! Many fans who were attempting to walk down and up the stairs are
heard yelling as they fall flat on their asses. The lights go back on
as the fans begin to yell! One over weight fan in particular is seen
getting up from the floor. As he does this he begins to wipe off the
popcorn crumbs from his shirt. He looks over at the entrance way with a
furious look on his face! Suddenly, a loud explosion is heard and Rage
Against the Machine's Pistol Grip Pump begins to blare throughout the
arena's PA system.]]]
[[[Green lights set down upon the arena as Brickcity "B" pops his head out from behind the curtain. He is then shoved forward by his tag team partner, Saga. Saga makes his way out as the fans begin to boo. Brickcity "B" and Saga stand next to each other and begin shaking their heads in approval at the fans. They then look at each other and then back at the fans. The IMAGE of pro-wrestling and the SFT's Greatest HOPE make their way down the ramp as the fans begin to throw garbage at them. Soon there after Mr Fan jumps out from behind the curtain, but no one even notices the manager for SceneFades. Both men enter the ring with smiles on their faces, turn to the fans and give them the middle finger!]]] [[[Brickcity “B” grabs himself a microphone as he and Saga stand in the middle of the ring with the SFT WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES draped over their shoulders. Brick smiles for a second as he passes the mic on to his partner, Saga.]]] Saga: Hello ladies and gents! It is a pleasure to be here at SFT's Hallowed Ground III! [[[The crowd erupts in a loud cheer as Saga pauses for a moment to acknowledge them; he then shakes his head and continues.]]] Saga: Unfortunately, this PPV is being held in America’s very own shit hole, Pittsburgh, PA! But really… I used to date a girl who lives in Pittsburgh… "B": Did you really? Saga: Yep… But she had a really small brain, so I dumped her! "B": Ouch… Saga: But hey… Since we are here tonight, we might as well put on a show for you low level, unintelligent monkeys, cause that’s the only way we can get paid today… “B”: But do not worry your tiny little brain Pittsburgh, ‘cause tonight, you will not only get to watch us wrestle… But you will get to watch as we take over this fucking show! Don’t believe me? Just sit back and wait… Cause tonight, we walk out with all of the gold… The Tag titles go home with us, the I.C title goes home with us, and the TV title goes home with us… So sit back and relax you jackasses… Cause the team of SceneFades is here to turn this dull night into the most memorable moment of your shitty little lives! We’re out, bitches! [[[Brick drops the microphone on the ground as Rage Against the Machine’s “Pistol grip pumped” begins to play throughout the PS system. Saga then lifts up his tag title in order for Brickcity to look at his own reflection. Brick fixes his dreadlocks and then lifts up his own title in order for Saga to get a good look at himself. Once they are done they exits the ring to a chorus of boos. And now… The show continues…]]] JC: Well that was refreshing, not a way I would have like to open a show but hey. RW: Now that the jackasses are out of the ring, SFT WELCOMES YOU TO THE MELON ARENA FOR HALLOWED GROUND THREE!!!!! JC: Yes that's right everyone and what a show we have for you here tonight. So many things going down tonight I can't mention them all. RW: We have title matches, return matches, burning man matches, damn, we have it all here tonight. JC: OK enough from us, let's get to the ring for the first match. ![]() "Steel Avengers" by Metalium hits the P.A. system and the arena grows dark. The camera pans around the arena and then focuses in on the ramp to see a man sitting high on the StrikeTron. The camera zooms in to see the man is Joe Mokoko. He suddenly looks to the camera and stands up. He leaps off and lands on the hard floor in a crouching position, head bowed. Joe looks up and with blinding speed runs toward the ring and slides in. He jumps on top of the turnbuckle and just stares at the crowd {Dark bodies floating in darkness no sign of light ever given} The arena falls to darkness as the sound of Fear Factory fills the air. Grey and White spotlights circle the arena as the song continues., And i saw my own face in the dark and loneliness and i saw my own face like a spark frozen in heaven. The spotlight all focus now on the entrance ramp where the cloaked figure of Lucas Balkan appears. He walks down with the lengths of his cloak sweeping behind him. {my life was so dark... my mind was so dark... everything was dark } In the ring, Lucas stands staring motionless into the crowd, waiting for the last man in this 3 way match.. .Hell's Bell's by ACDC explodes over the SFT pa system, and Rumpke stumbles out through the curtain with a fifth of some kind of whisky in his hand. He stops at the top of the ramp, and quickly throws his right arm with the liqour in his hand up in the air and pyro's go off. Rumpke starts to walk crookedly, and suddenly trips, and rolls down the rest of the ramp. He stops for a minute, and then gets back up to his feet, Derek walks around the ring, and up to the commentators table, waves to RW, and JC, sets the bottle down on the table, and slides into the ring only to be met by Mokoko, and Lucas Balkan. Both men repeatedly stomp on Rumpke, and do not give him a chance to get up to his feet. Soon the referee separates both men from Rumpke. Derek gets back up to his feet, and flips both guys off RW: This is going to be a good opening match. Both men close in on Rumpke. All three men are staring at each other. Waiting for the opportune moment to strike. Balkan is first to attack as he closelines Mokoko. Turns around to be speared by Derek. All three men are back to their feet. Mokoko grabs Rumpke from behind, and Lucas Balkan starts taking free shots at his head. The ref starts counting, but he doesnt let go of him. In an instant, Derek stomps on Mokoko's foot, the hold is released. Rumpke jumps right on Balkan, knocks him to the ground and punches him a few times before Joe throws Rumpke off of Balkan. Joe offers his hand, and begins to pull Lucas up, but Lucas hits Joe with a low blow then picks him up, and power bombs Joe on the canvas. Meanwhile Derek has went outside of the ring, picks up the bottle, takes a drink, sets it down, goes to run, then trips and hits his head on the corner of the ring. He sucks it up, gets back in the ring to be met by Balkan. JC: Rumpke needs to quit worrying about drinking, and worry about his match. Balkan pulls Rumpke to his feet only for Rumpke to rake him in the eyes. Balkan grabs his eyes, and Rumpke trips Lucas's feet out from under him. Then out of nowhere, Joe Mokoko closelines Rumpke sending him to the ground. Rumpke gets back up to his feet, but Joe knocks him right back down. Joe pins Rumpke. 1 [[[

neck
breaker. Balkan gets to his feet, Rumpke kicks him in the gut and hits
Alcohol Poisoning. Derek goes for the cover.

Neither hit affected them. Joe drop kicks Rumpke and sends him to the ground. Mokoko gets back up and hits Balkan with a drop kick. Then Joe drops a fist on Derek's face. Balkan is standing right behind him, and kicks Joe in the balls when Joe turned around. Then connects with a DDT. he turns to see Rumpke leaping off the top rope. Rumpke connects with a cross body block and goes for the pin.

Precious
is seen arriving in her convertable to the arena where Hollowed Ground
is being held she pulls into a parking lot as secruity guards surround
the car and her she smiles as one comes up to her.
Secruity :Who are you ma'am we have stricked orders not to let the fans into the area. Precious:A fan excuse me Im not a fan in a STF Diva. Just then Harold comes walking up and notices the guards around Precious and he walks over to them. Harold: Excuse me she is with me and you shouldn't piss her off. She has been on the injuryed list for a little over a month. Precious:Thanks baby. Harold: Not a problem lets go sit in my office and watch the PPV together. Precious: I'll meet you there I got some bussiness to take care of. Harold kises her on the cheek as Joy one of Precious's private interveiwers comes running up. Joy:Precious it is great to see you back how do you feel? Precious:Great Im ready for some action. Joy:Well first thing is first I want to know your meaning of the word Bitch becuase you already know when they see you back in action what you are going to be called. Precious:It would be a pleasure...My meaning is simple... BITCH; 1: the female of the dog or some other carnivorous mammals 2 a:a lewd or immoral woman b: a malicious, spiteful, or domineering woman - sometimes used as a generalized term of abuse 3 : something that is highly objectionable or unpleasant 4: Precious --- I'm Baaaaaack..for the delight of every red-blooded male..and the dismay of every envious female. Joy:Wow that seem's to be the best meaning i have heard and Im sure it is true and the last part where it says your back thats the truth. Precious:Hell yes it is the truth and guess what things are about to pickup for STF. Precious shakes the hand of Joy as they both walk to meet up with Harold. ![]() RW: Our next match is a one night
only Hardcore match between two Hardcore legends, Slade Wilson, and
Dudekind. JC: With a special guest referee, or so I’m told. RW: What? I hadn’t heard anything about a guest ref. JC: Apparently no ref in the SFT wanted to officiate this match. Too dangerous, they said. RW: So who did they get crazy enough to... The hauntingly minor downbeat of Ghost Love Score tears through the speakers as the arena dims to black. Intels flicker in alternating red and blue as Grizzly Z charges out of the back and down the ramp like a bat out of Hell. Pyro missiles fire from the base of the ring, lighting the intense wrestler’s way as he barrels toward the ring. He slides inside, jumps to his feet and raises a fist in the air, snarling with belligerent ferocity. RW and JC: Ohhhhhhhh. Z grabs a mic. Z: I’m not one for speeches, so let’s get this thing started. There is silence for a moment as fans wait in anticipation. Then the slow beat of Filter Hey Man Nice Shot starts to play. The Strike-a-tron shows clips of Slade Wilson in various types of matches. Then when the Beat picks up Slade steps out from backstage with a barbed-wire kendo stick in hand. He stands at the entrance ramp and looks over the crowd then holds the kendo stick up, and the fans explode. Slade lowers his hand and heads down the ramp towards the ring. He circles it once setting the kendo stick down and rolls in. He gets up and proffers a hand to Z, who shakes it firmly. JC: Uh oh, how’s this match going to be called if Slade and Z are all buddy-buddy? RW: Z will call a fair match. JC: Sure… Smash Mouth’s Why Can’t We Be Friends starts to play. Dudekind comes out from behind the stage wearing a jaunty bright red eye-patch and pretending to smoke an unlit hilariously over-sized and Tom Isbell-like Camel cigarette. He tosses the cigarette deep into the audience and flings the eye-patch the other direction. He ambles into the ring, moving to each ring-post and raising his fist to the audience. He then turns to Z and shakes his hand heartily. RW: See? They’re all friends. JC: How deliciously after-school special. Z calls for the bell. Dudekind slides out of the ring as Slade begins to pace back and forth like a caged tiger, twirling the barbed-wire kendo stick. Dudekind reaches under the ring and pulls out a… kendo stick! JC: Real original. RW: Oh hush. Dudekind rolls back into the ring and a few words are exchanged between the two Hardcore legends. JC: Did Slade just ask Dudekind if he was ready? RW: Um… yeah, I think so. JC: Sad. The two men rush each other, the kendo sticks arching around at blistering speeds and… clash in the center. The two men begin to duel with the kendo sticks, the furious clacking of wood on wood fills the arena as thrust after parry, slash after riposte are attempted, blocked and revised. Z stands in the center of the ring baffled as the crowd slowly begins to chant: SLADE-KIND; SLADE-KIND; SLADE-KIND! JC: This is new… RW: Yeah… Who’s Sladekind? JC: What? But they’re not… you’re not… God you’re an idiot. Finally Slade managed to sneak a swift jab at Dudekind’s sternum, and followed up with a decisive blow across Dudekind’s face, the barbed wire tearing into his mask, drawing blood. Dudekind dropped to his knees but kept ahold of the kendo stick. As Slade moved in, Dudekind swung the kendo stick at his knees, cutting his legs out from under him. JC: Ooh! Slade goes down hard! Dudekind swings the kendo stick around to bring it down across Slade’s face, but Slade’s arms move up to block the blow with his forearms. Quick as light, Slade grabs the kendo stick and yanks forward. Dudekind, off-guard and still holding onto the stick for all he’s worth, is yanked forward, right into a powerful uppercut from Slade that damn near lifts Dudekind off the mat. Dudekind drops to the mat, Slade goes for a quick cover. 1 2
Dudekind kicks out violently, flinging Slade halfway across the ring.NO!!
JC: Dudekind kicks out with authority! RW: That’s authoritah, genius. JC: Whatever. Both men are quick to rise to their feet and begin raining blow after blow down on one another, their combat rising to a fevered pitch as the dull roar of the audience grows to an earsplitting cacophony of chanting, whistles, and cheering. Like two prize-fighters, Dudekind and Slade trade blows and circle each other, each trying to wear the other down. Finally Dudekind kicks Slade in the gut and drops him with a DDT. JC: Slade goes down! RW: Dudekind is leaving the ring. Wonder where he thinks he’s going. Dudekind reaches under the ring, pulling out a ladder. He sets it up outside of the ring just a few feet away from the ring, then reaches under again. Pulling out another ladder, he sets it up next to the first. Slade is beginning to stir, so Dudekind crawls to the top rope, getting there just as Slade gets to his feet. Dudekind lands a hurricarana on the dazed hardcore legend, sending him flying across the ring. RW: What’s he up to? Dudekind leaves the ring AGAIN, and reaches under the ring AGAIN, this time pulling out a table. Climbing to the apron, he bridges the table across the two ladders. Dudekind moves over to Slade and begins and Irish Whip toward the ropes, but Slade reverses, half throwing the much bigger man onto the table. Surprisingly, the table doesn’t break. JC: My God, it didn’t break. Slade steps onto the apron and turns around. RW: Oh God, he’s not- JC: He is… Slade grips the top rope, drops off the apron, slingshots up to the top rope and launches himself backward in an asai Moonsault, landing squarely on Dudekind. The two men crash through the table and land in a tangled mess at the foot of both ladders. RW: Holy shit! JC: Oh my God! The audience begins to chant: HOLY SHIT; HOLY SHIT; HOLY SHIT; as Grizzly Z slides out of the ring to check on the two men. JC: I wouldn’t be surprised if Grizzly Z stops the match and calls down the paramedics after that. RW: I don’t know John. Z wouldn’t have hesitated to do that move himself, and I sincerely doubt he would have let the ref stop the match. JC: Is that praise for the questionable reputation of Grizzly Z? RW: Hell no! Pity. The man’s an idiot and doesn’t even know it. After checking both men, Z rolls back into the ring and waits. RW: See? JC: I can’t believe he expects the match to continue. But even as John Cartwright speaks, Dudekind begins to stir and slowly climb to his feet, using the apron for leverage. Slade lays prone for a second and begins to move, also climbing up, using both Dudekind and the apron for leverage. The crowd roars its approval. JC: Okay, so they can stand. Doesn’t mean they can get an offensive move off! Slade decks Dudekind. JC: I stand corrected. Dudekind punches Slade. Slade reels back and lands against the ladder behind him. Dudekind charges forward, driving Slade harder into the ladder, and the ladder crumples underneath their combined weight. The two men pick themselves back up again. JC: My God, these two men could go forever. RW: We could be here awhile, folks. Time and again, vicious attack is met with greater brutality. Dudekind hits Slade in the groin with his fest, Slade retaliates with a headbutt to the bridge of the nose. Blood flows freely from Dudekind’s nose as he fires back with a vicious kick to the kneecap. Slade drops to one knee and reaches under the ring. Dudekind rushes forward, but Slade pulls a chair and slams it into the side of Dudekind’s head, dropping the big man. Dudekind is on his feet in a heartbeat, and Slade slams it into his head again. Dudekind drops, but gets up again, albeit slower this time. Slade swings the chair one more time, connecting solidly, dropping the bigger man with an extreme sense of finality. RW: No way Dudekind can kick out of THAT. JC: Don’t count your chickens… Slade covers, Z counts. 1 2
NO!
Dudekind kicks out. RW: HE KICKED OUT! HE KICKED OUT! HE KICKED OUT! JC: Yeah, we heard you the first time! Slade climbs to his feet, obviously frustrated. He starts toward Dudekind again, but Z’s hand stops him. Slade turns around as Z moves passed him, helping Dudekind to his feet. JC: What’s this? RW: No idea. Z talks to the two wrestlers for a moment. The two men listen, and then Slade nods, looking to Dudekind. Dudekind shrugs, then nods. Z gestures to the ring announcer, waiting for a mic. The announcer, confused, hands it to him. Z: In the interests of fair-play, and so we’re not here all night, Slade Wilson and Dudekind have consented to an… equalizer. While he’s speaking, Z walks over to the chair and picks it up. Dropping the mic he winds up and slams the chair against Slade’s head, then hauls off and slams it against Dudekind’s cranium. JC: This is different. RW: New and strange. The chair bends at an odd angle as both men drop to the mat. The crowd starts chanting: GRIZZLY Z; GRIZZLY Z; GRIZZLY Z! JC: Crowd seems to like it. RW: The crowd is a bunch of idiots. After a few moments, the two men stir, moving significantly slower than before. Dudekind gets to his feet first and calls for the Pappy! JC: Here we go! Dudekind’s hand shoots forward and clamps down in Slade Wilson’s mouth in an unforgiving mandible claw. Slade struggles, then throws a thumb in Dudekind’s eye, as the crowd screams in approval: NOW YOU SEE ME! Dudekind maintains his grip. Slade wrenches backward, tearing his jaw out of Dudekind’s grip, and aims a huge Savat kick, dropping Dudekind to the mat. He covers. 1 2

Dudekind kicks out. Slade jumps to his feet, hooks his toe under Dudekind’s spine and flips him over. Slade sees his discarded barbed-wire kendo stick, rips off the barbed-wire and wraps it around his forearm. Slade drops down and locks in a Crippler Crossface. JC: The Gater-Aid! Slade torques the Crossface, rubbing Dudekind’s masked face against the barbed-wire until the mask tears. Blood pours from Dudekind’s face as Slade rubs it in hamburger. Dudekind screams, but hesitates. Slade torques harder. Dudekind screams again, and taps. Z calls for the bell. Winner
via submission: Slade Wilson
![]() RW: Next up Strike Fantasy Towers
shall be pitting three of it's future stars against each other with the
covenant Television title on the line.
JC: ...Well it's not really covenant, it's basically a rookies title. RW: I don't recall names like Dave Steel, Ace, Christian Cage to name a few, to be rookies when they won the title. JC: True, but are they here now to give such a title to the lackluster championship? RW: Haha a fool you are - guess you'll just have to wait and see what these guys can do. I promise you'll think otherwise. JC: I doubt it. RW: Well, let's just get this thing started then. We cut to the ring where we see the announcer standing in the center. Ready to begin their introductions; music abruptly blares through the speakers cutting off the announcer before they even began. RW: Whoa wasting no time I guess. The arena lights cut off for a moment and are replaced with red and black lights which start flickering all over the arena, there's a blast of white Pyro on the top of the ramp and then "Breathe" by Fabolous hits the speakers and Daniel De Marco makes his presence known and steps out from behind the curtain. He pauses for a moment, soaking in the atmosphere before making his way to the ring. He enters the ring via the second rope, he then makes his way to one of the turnbuckles, climbs the second rope and raises his arms in the air, cool as you like. He unstraps the TV title from his waist and lets it drop to the mat before swiping it with his foot, out of the ring. His music quickly fading to our next entrance. RW: One to the next - these guys are on the move to get out here. The announcer didn't even bother staying in the ring. JC: Hahaha. Lights go out for a moment and then red lights appear around the entrance way. Local H's Bigger begins to blast and out comes SFT's GREATEST HOPE; Saga! The camera focus on him as his sunglasses caress the tip of his nose. Saga then adjust his glasses as he looks at the piece of trash fans and shakes his head in disappointment. Saga then makes his way into the ring, climbs to the top rope, and gives the fans the good ol' fashion middle finger. He takes notice to DeMarco and his attention focuses to him fully now. His music fades. RW: I'm thinking we're gonna' have quite the battle here tonight. JC: I'm still doubting. Bullet with Butterfly Wings plays and Alekz makes his way to the ring, paying no attention to the crowd. He slides in under the bottom rope, kisses his chain and hangs it over the ring-post. Not wasting any time his music fades and he turns towards both Saga and De Marco. RW: Here we go! DING! DING! Alekz starts off the match by sprinting in between both De Marco and Saga. Saga and De Marco chain their hands together and lay Alekz out with a double teaming clothesline. Saga follows up with a series of stomping kicks to the chest of Alekz; meanwhile Daniel De Marco runs to the other side of the ring, bouncing off the ropes and heads towards Saga. Just as Saga slightly turns De Marco spears him down like a linebacker and starts releasing a merciless combo of punches. RW: Whoa! With authority! JC: *mumbles to self* Pitiful ... De Marco quickly stands up and reaches down to pick Saga up by his hair. De Marco lets out some angry blows to the stomach of Saga, each with a powerful lift in Saga's beating. De Marco pauses and leans back for a huge punch. Before he can deliver Saga counters by kicking De Marco in the gut and following through a fast DDT. Saga decides to make the first cover of the match. 1 2
NO!!
Alekz comes out of nowhere and jumps on the two breaking up the count. RW: Well, Alekz is alive. JC: Yippee. Now standing is Saga and Alekz. Both going back and forth now with relentless blows to the face. Alekz ends up getting the final punch in before ducking under an attempt by Saga and running to the ropes. Alekz hits the ropes and runs towards Saga. Saga alertly turns around and lowers himself before suddenly catching and lifting Alekz into the air with a tremendous spinebuster. RW: The two lightweights are fighting like power houses! JC: The little guy did one big move! Whoopidee do! RW: Shut up. Saga stands himself up wearily (already) and heads towards the nearest turnbuckle. He quickly climbs to the top and taunts the crowd. Seconds later he leaps off with a flying elbow drop attempt ... before getting caught by a reappearing Daniel De Marco who catches Saga in mid air with a dropkick to the face, knocking him down hard and quick. RW: I think he just killed Saga!!! JC: Oh no; is this Armageddon! Haha. RW: Wowwwy! Now standing is a ready De Marco and slowly rising near him is a worn, dizzy, Alekz Kutov Aruski. Alekz slowly turns around when he's suddenly caught by the neck and head by Daniel De Marco with his "Extacy"! RW: Shit this thing is going to be over already! JC: Thank God. RW: *Sigh* De Marco immediately follows with a pin. Nearby Saga rolls over to his stomach and slowly crawls towards the two in hopes of stopping the pinfall. 1 2
3!!!
Saga collapses his face to the mat right after the three count. RW: Ohhhhhhhhhhh man he was right there! Ah well. De Marco with a successful title defense. I wonder if this guy will ever be beaten. JC: Of course he will. RW: Oh will you beat him John? JC: I probably could. RW: Yeah ... right. Meanwhile back in the ring we see De Marco standing with his arm raised by the referee and the TV title over his shoulder. His music starts up again just he's about to exit the ring. RW: Nice little match I think Winner: Daniel DeMarco ![]() Pistol
Grip Pump rips through the PA, and the rabid crowd leaps to
their feet, booing and shouting obscenities at Saga, Brickcity “B” and
Mr. Fan as they make their way to the ring. Saga and “B” taunt the
audience as they make their way down to the ring, shouting slightly
viler obscenities back, whipping the ravenous crowd into a foaming
frenzy. Saga and “B” roll into the ring as Mr. Fan takes up his
position ringside. Each wrestler goes to a ring-post and hold their tag
titles in the air.
RW: The champions are decidedly here! JC: Thank you for that, I wasn’t really sure. Ghost Love Score cuts off Rage Against the Machine as a 1965 Caddy DeVille convertible roars from the back and barrels down the ramp, Grizzly Z at the wheel. Otherwise, the car is empty. JC: Where is Venom? RW: Maybe he wised up and ditched Z as a partner. JC: We may be looking at a handicap match here folks. The Caddy squeals to a halt mere feet away from the ring, and Z leaps out of the driver’s seat, hops over the windshield and hurls himself over the top rope in a breakneck suicide dive, slamming his massive body into both Saga and “B.” JC: Grizzly Z making in impact early in this match-up. The ref calls for the bell. Z bounds to his feet, grabbing “B” by the hair and throwing him out of the ring. Saga is on his feet charging at Z, but Z hurls him from the ring and raises his fists in the air, eliciting primal screams of approval from the crowd. RW: He jumped them before the match started! That isn’t fair! JC: He’s in a handicap match, Randy! Z whips the trench-coat from his shoulders and hurls it into the audience, and crouches at the ready in the ring. “B” gets to his feet first, rushing the ring to be met face to foot with a baseball slide. “B” drops as Saga rolls into the ring. Z gets to his feet to meet Saga’s right hook head on. Z takes it on the chin and answers back with a left uppercut that lifts Saga off the mat and lays him out hard. Z kicks Saga in the ribs with his size 18 steel-toed boot, over and over. JC: This isn’t a match, it’s a slaughter! RW: And Z is the butcher! JC: If SceneFades can’t gain some momentum, Z might win the tag titles all by his lonesome. RW: Where are you from, Oklahoma? JC: No, why do you ask? RW: Just curious. “B” climbs into his corner and starts to climb in, and the ref rushes over to prevent him from breaking the tag rules. Z, in the meantime, goes to bound off the ropes, and Mr. Fan grabs his shin, planting Z face-first on the mat. A loud crack is heard as Z’s nose breaks, and as he pushes himself to his knees, blood gushes from his nose onto the mat, staining his white beater. As Z pushes himself up, Saga crawls to his corner and tags in “B.” RW: Good job boys, let the fresh man have a crack at him. JC: I think Girzzly’s had enough, that broken nose looks painful. RW: Naw, he can take it, he’s tough. “B” bounds off the ropes and hits the kneeling Z in the chest with a dropkick square in the chest. Z is propelled through the ropes, landing hard on the floor below. Saga drops to the floor and starts to circle the ring to get to Z, drawing the ref over as Mr. Fan procures a chair from under the ring and slams it twice against Z’s head. RW: Now that’s resourcefulness! JC: Now that’s cheating! RW: It’s called opportunism. JC: It’s called cheap. Mr. Fan drops the chair and rolls Z back into the ring as “B” climbs to the top rope. Saga returns to his corner and the ref rushes over to “B” to warn him down. Ignoring him, “B” calls for the Skyline Fly and launches himself into the air, landing the frog-splash. “B” goes for the pin. 1 2
NO!!
JC: Near pinfall by the champ. RW: The count was slow. Frustrated, “B” attempts another pin, but Z flings the much smaller man off of him. Saga steps through the ropes and launches a surprise attack on Z, aiming a dropkick to the rising wrestler’s head, but Z grabs Saga’s legs at the calves and sets him up for the Grizzly Swing. Throwing his weight back and around, Z hauls Saga around in three tight circles before letting the smaller man fly: Right into “B.” SceneFades crashes to the ground in a tangled heap. The ref moves to check on the tag champs, and Mr. Fan is on the apron. Z runs at him, but Mr. Fan grabs Z’s head and drops off the apron in a rope guillotine. Z drops to the mat, clutching his injured throat. Saga and “B” both manage to get to their feet, and see Z laying there near the turnbuckle. JC: Grizzly Z in trouble here. RW: In trouble? I thought you said he was “dominating.” JC: He was, when it wasn’t three on one! RW: I only see TWO guys in the ring. Both wrestlers run forward and baseball slide Grizzly Z into the ring-post. JC: Oh my goodness! RW: Ha! That’ll teach ‘im! The ref gets in Saga’s face, shouting at him to get out of the ring, and Saga argues back as “B” rolls out of the ring. Together, he and Mr. Fan splay Z’s legs open so the ring-post is between them, then each man grabs a leg and pulls, nutting Z against the ring-post. Z grabs his injured testicles and curls into a fetal position. RW: That’s it. This match is over! JC: I hate to say it, but you’ve got to be right… Saga steps out of the ring as “B” drags Z to the center of the ring. “B” drops to the mat, hooks Z’s leg for the pin. 1 2
NO!!
By some ungodly miracle, Z kicks out! RW: That’s not possible! JC: What do you mean, that’s not possible, he just did it! RW: Performance enhancing drugs! Steroids, made his nuts so small that they don’t hurt when you- JC: When you cheat? RW: Well, no… Angry now, “B” stands up and calls for the B-Buster. Saga climbs the ropes as “B” lands the Fistline Facebuster. Saga launches himself into the air and hits with the Swanton. “B” covers again. 1 NO!!
Z kicks out again, this time sending “B” out of the ring. Z pushes himself to his feet, rubbing the blood from his face. He glances around, looking for a target, then sees Mr. Fan trying to help “B” to his feet. A slow smile spreads across Z’s face. Z charges forward, leaps over the top rope and lands a missile dropkick directly on Mr. Fan’s head. Mr. Fan drops to the ground, with Z literally standing on his face. A sickening crunch is heard and the audience grows deathly quiet. Z steps off Mr. Fan’s face, which is completely smashed and bleeding so badly that his features are unrecognizable. Mr. Fan twitches once and then doesn’t move. JC: My God… RW: Somebody get the paramedics down there! A cadre of men and women in white rush down the ramp with a stretcher and begin administering first-aid to the prone manager. Meanwhile, Z grabs “B” and tosses him into the ring. RW: Why doesn’t the ref call the match? JC: Last I checked, Mr. Fan wasn’t IN the match. Z calls for the Maul. He gets “B” up on his shoulders just as Saga charges. Z manages to get a foot up, dropping Saga with a big boot, and then dropping “B” on his head on top of Saga. Z runs for the turnbuckle and executes a swift Z-Sault, hitting both men, and covering. 1 2
NO!!
“B,” with the help of Saga, manages to roll Z over onto his shoulders. The ref shifts positions to count, out of direct line of sight to Saga, who holds Z’s in the air, preventing the leverage to kick out. 1 2
NO!!
Z hurls his body out of the cover sending Saga over the top rope and into the windshield of the Deville. Z rolls out of the ring and grabs the chair that Mr. Fan left and rolls back in, a murderous glint in his eye. The ref signals to put the chair away, but Z doesn’t listen as he closes in on “B.” “B” drops to his knees, trying to back away, begging Z not to hit him, and for a moment Z hesitates. JC: Just put down the chair, Z, you don’t want to lose this way. RW: Hit him with the chair! As if he heard, Z winds up and slams the chair into the side of Brickcity “B’s” head, dropping the smaller man to the mat, unconscious. The ref calls for the bell. Z hits “B” over and over with the chair until it bends and warps out of any semblance of shape, and he throws it aside, calling for a mike. Z: Venom! You screwed me man! I trusted you, and you SCREWED ME! I want you and me, in the ring, A WEEK FROM NEXT FRIDAY! At Inferno, I WILL EXACT JUSTICE! Throwing the mike away, Z storms from the ring.
Winner via disqualification:

Strike Fantasy Towers Open!... Already in the ring... Bal Sagoth!... Gott!... Johny Fierce!... Gunz!... Joe Mokoko!... The Captain!... Alekz Kutov Aruski!... Erik Dean!... and Andrew Foley!JC: What a great collection of stars from far and wide! RW: Yeah, and we've got a handful left... Amanda Summers: From Miya Jima, Japan... Kamikaze! The Gong is struck and the lights all over the arena become colorful with all the colors of the rainbow. "Original Prankster" By The Offspring starts playing and the lights start to swirl around in rythym to the beat. On "Until the break of dawn" Kamikaze bursts out from back stage and plays it up to the audience. He continues jumping around till he gets to the ring then he climbs in and poses on all four turnbuckles sequentially. Amanda Summers: ...And from Parts Unknown... Excedium! The lights suddenly flicker as the sound of wind rises through the speakers. "What do you see in the dark, when the demons come for you?" is whispered as a large figure moves out to the top of the ramp. Slowly, he stalks down to the ring as flames ignite and begin rising behind him from the steel-grated ramp. His shoulder-length black hair hangs wet over his eyes as he moves onto the apron. As he steps over the top rope, flames begin rising fromt he ringposts. Amanda Summers: ...from New York City, New York... Bane! Arena lights dim, the Tron comes on with a picture of Bane in the distance heading twords the front of screen (simular to Chris Jeracho entrance) the sound of thunder is heard, lightning hits the ramp as Bane walks out with Bones his manager by his side. Amanda Summers: ...from Boston, Massachusetts... Connor MacDaddy! "Mack Daddy" by Sir Mix-a-lot blares over the PA system as large red X pyros fires off. A few seconds into the song Connor steps out onto the stage and makes an X with his arm in the air. He starts to walk down the ramp. Mid ramp he slows down and points to a few fans and gives them a big thumbs up. He slides in the ring and goes on the turnbuckle and makes X crosses in the air to the crowd. Amanda Summers: ...from Parts Unknown... Burton Edwards! The arena lights cut out, and two jets of smoke begin to cover the stage as Rammstein's 'Reise, Reise' begins to play through the arena. As the guitars kick in, the stage erupts with a loud bang, as red and gold pyro shoots into the air. As the smoke clears away, Burton Edwards walks onto the stage. He stands atop the stage, and stretches his arms out either side of him, as gold sparks rain down from the rafters.As the crowd boos him, he slowly walks down the rampway, as jets of fire light up the otherwise dark arena. Upon reaching the ring, he steps through the ropes and climbs one of the turnbuckles, showing off to the booing audience. Finally, Edwards gets down. Amanda Summers: ...and from Osaka, Japan... Lord Nirvana! "I ride satans wings" Johnny Cash's Hurt hits the PA as images of tombstones appear on the striketron and Kings voice booms. The crowd begins to shout as the arena goes black and pictures of a morgue appear on the striketron. Pictures of bodies ripped apart, bodies crawling with maggots, etc. As the fans begin to boo a light shines onto the ramp as the pictures on the jumbotron change to a big grey screen. "I eat dollar bills" Suddenly the arena goes deep green as "Hurt" continues to play on the pa and a golden spotlight illuminates the entranceway. the crowd begins to chant bloody murder as blood rises from the ramp way, and Jeff King And Ms.Black step out from behind the apron. Jeff if decked out in a fancy, old fashioned suit, hair parted off to the side, and greased down. He's Holding Ms.Black's hand. He smiles to the crowd with all the pizazze of a salesman, but with the personality of a shark. Comfortable, yet slightly unsettling images display on the jumbotron, Traditional families eating traditional dinners, watching traditional television, playing with traditional toys...but nobody looks happy. They all have a sullen-eyed look about them which underlies the true feelings inside of them. Jeff makes his way to the ring, spinning his cane, and doffing his hat to the fans, who, in turn, boo him. Climbing into the ring, he removes his suit, revealing his wrestling gear beneath it. He goes to the to the back turnbuckle and taunts the fans with his cane, which he drops outside the ring as he shares a passionate kiss with Ms.Black. JC: Let's get it fuckin started! Fierce, and Mokoko are currently going at it. Each men exchange blow after blow until Connor, and Nirvana come over and jump in. Nirvana jumps on Mokoko, and Connor jumps in on Fierce. Connor delivers three punches to the side of Fierce's face, then Connor kicks him in the balls, and connects with a DDT. Meanwhile Nirvana has lifted Mokoko up over his head into a gorrilla press slam. Nirvana shows great strength in holding Mokoko up in the air, then Nirvana tosses Mokoko outside, and turns around only to get closelined by Andrew Foley over the top rope. On the otherside of the ring Erik Dean is fighting Bane, and gets the upper hand. Erik Grabs Bane by the head, and hits a chin breaker. Erik gets right back up, and drops a leg on Bane. Erik is standing back up, and looks out upon the fans for a moment, but out of nowhere Excidium runs right into Dean, knocking him to the ground. Excidium just shrugs it off, and goes back at the man who through him which was The Captain. Excidium is walking torwards the Captain, but Erik Dean gets to Excidium first, kicks him in the back of the knee sending Excidium down to one knee. Then, Erik goes to the side of Excidium, and delivers a hard spinning kick that hits Excidium hard enough for blood to start gushing out of his nose. RW: Wow! Look at that shot by Erik Dean! JC: Yeah, you know Excidium is feeling it! Meanwhile on the outside, Nirvana has sent Mokoko running right into the steel steps. The loud crash triggers a reaction from the fans.. Nirvana walks over, grabs Mokoko by the hair, pulls him up to his feet, scoops him up and Nirvana slams Mokoko right on the steps. Nirvana looks up to see Andrew Foley and Alekz Kutov Aruski trading punches. Nirvana reaches under the bottom ropes, grabs Foley's feet, then pulls them right out from under him. Foley smacks his face hard on the canvas, and Nirvana gives a good tug and pulls Foley to the outside. Nirvana grabs Foley by the back of the head, and goes to slam his face into the ring, but Foley blocks it, then elbows Nirvana in the gut, grabs Nirvana by the back of the head, and slams his face right into the corner of the ring. Nirvana is standing but he's wobbly. Andrew attempts a closeline, and connects with it, but it still doesn't send Nirvana to the ground. Just knocks him back a step. Then Andrew Foley repeats the process, and once again just sends Nirvana back one step. Mokoko is up. Then Nirvana gives Foley a dose of his own medicine by exploding through him with a closeline, and doesnt stop there. He continues to run a few more steps and closelines Mokoko also. RW: What a shot by Nirvana.
JC: Yeah he took out two men with one move! Go Nirvana! Everyone is currently in the brawl, and men fly out of the ring simultaneously. Eventually only two men last in the ring. That is Nirvana, and Burton Edwards. Nirvana currently has his back turned to Edwards watching the chaos on the outside. Just as he turns around he is hit with a super kick from Burton Edwards. Edwards pins him. 1 2
3!!
RW: Not what we expected there,
but a nice finish non the less.
JC: Welcome back Burton!! Winner: Burton Edwards RC: Let me
just say, that match will go down in history!
JW: You say that a lot. RC: Well am I wrong? We have seen wrestlers that we haven’t heard from in ages! These guys came from everywhere and anywhere just to take part in this Nirvana Open! You can’t get better than that! JW: Nirvana is no standing in the middle of the ring, a bit shaky but he seems well. RC: give yourself a hand Mr. King, give yourself a hand! [[[Nirvana stands tall as he gazes over at the crowd. Some cheer, some boo, none of it has any effect on Mr. King. At this time, Gunnz slides into the ring behind Nirvana, he stands up holding a steel chair. Gunnz charges at Nirvana.]]] RC: Gunnz rushes at Nirvana but King turns around and ducks under the swinging chair! JW: Close! RC: Gunnz turns around and King connects with a hard right hand… The chair falls to the floor! JW: Both men exchange blows! It’s King and Gunnz going toe to toe! RC: Gunnz grabs Nirvana and whips him into the ropes, King bounces back and ducks underneath a Gunnz clothesline! Gunnz turns around and Nirv nails him with a spinning heel kick! Gunnz goes down! JW: Gunnz staggers to his feet and stumbles forward! Nirv sets up for a bit and… BAMN! Super kick! Gunnz goes down! RC: Can we get some security down here? We have a show to go on with! [[["Enter Sandman" begins to blare across the loudspeakers and is immediately met by a chorus of boos.]]] JW: We have company! [[[Kyle Murphy walks out on stage wearing a black "LGP" t-shirt in addition to his ring attire. He has an intense, angry look on his face as he starts down the ramp, pulling off the t-shirt and throwing it aside as he goes. Kyle walks quickly down to ringside and steps up onto the apron. Pushing the top rope down, Murphy climbs over it and into the ring.]]] RC: Kyle Murphy has hit the ring! JW: Kyle picks up the steel chair off the floor and stares over at Nirvana! RC: This is gonna be interesting! JW: Kyle Murphy takes one step towards King as the crowd begins to roar! Nirv now takes a step towards Kyle himself and again the fans go into a frenzy! RC: Gunnz is making it up to his feet! JW: Kyle has that chair in hand, he stares into the eyes of Nirvana then turns to his side and CRACK!!!! He nails Gunnz right in the head! RC: What the hell? JW: What is he thinking? Kyle now tosses the chair aside as Nirvana takes a hold of Gunnz… Nirv tosses Gunnz over to Kyle and Mr. Murphy sets him up! RC: Set’s him up for what? JW : What do you think? RC: Kyle takes a hold of Gunnz and, BAMN! He comes crashing down with a powerful neck breaker! JW: Murphy’s Law! Gunnz is out cold! RC: What the hell does this mean? JW: Kyle stands up tall and looks over at King… Both men smile as Nirv walks over and they shake hands… RC: Kyle Murphy, you son of a bitch! JW: Calm down! RC: This guy just sold his soul to the devil! [[[Nirvana and Kyle raise their hands as they exit the ring to the sound of boos. Johnny Cash’s “HURT” begins to blare out through the PA system as Nirvana and Kyle slowly walk back wards into the backstage area.]]] RC: Mark this down folks…. Sunday, October 30th, 2005… Kyle Murphy and Nirvana shake hands. JW: Forget shaking hands, look at what they did to Gunnz! RC: Let’s just move on shall we? ![]() RW: Time now for our next HUGE
match here at SFT’s Hallowed Ground, and if you’ve been watching
Wednesday Night War over the last month or so, then you’ll have seen
all of the build-up to this one, and will no doubt be just as excited
about it as we are sitting here.
JC: That’s right Randy, in just a matter of moments, we will see former World Champion Christian Cage compete in his first match in over six months as he takes on the reigning SFT Hardcore Champion and SFT Hall Of fame Inductee Nathan Gust in what promises to be a brutal “I Quit” match with the Hardcore gold at stake. RW: For those not familiar with this kind of match, the rules are simple in that there aren’t many of them. The basic object is to beat your opponent up so badly, by any means necessary, that he has to say the words “I Quit”. There are no pin falls, no submissions, no DQ’s and no count outs, the only way this can end is when either Cage or Gust utters those two little words. JC: I figure we’re just about ready to get this one going, so let’s send it up to our ring announcer, Jonathan Knight: The lights in the arena go down with just one white spotlight shining on the centre of the ring, where Jonathan Knight stands, wearing an immaculate tuxedo and with a microphone in his hand. Jonathan Knight: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is to be fought under “I Quit” rules for the SFT Hardcore Championship!! Introducing first, the challenger. He stands 6’4’’ tall and weighed in for this contest at 254lbs. He is a former 3-Time SFT Television Champion, former undefeated SFT Intercontinental Champion and a former SFT Heavyweight Champion of the World, hailing from Miami, Florida, “The Franchise” CHRISTIAN CAGE!!! The camera pans around to show the entrance stage as the opening notes of Kid Rock’s “Cocky” blast over the PA System, greeted by a chorus of boos and chants of “asshole” from the capacity Pittsburgh crowd. As the song reaches it’s first chorus, Christian Cage makes his way out into the arena accompanied by a deafening series of pyrotechnic explosions on both sides of the stage and down the ramp. Cage pauses for a second or two at the top of the stage before making his way slowly and purposefully down the ramp to the ring. Cage is wearing black wrestling boots and kneepads, and gold trunks with “Franchise” across the back in black italics, not to mention of course his trademark designer sunglasses. Upon reaching the ring, Cage slides underneath the bottom rope and climbs each of the turnbuckles in turn, soaking up the boos and chants from the crowd at the top of each before moving to the middle of the ring to await his opponent. RW: I’ll give Christian Cage credit for one thing, he looks in phenomenal shape for this one, there hardly looks to be an ounce of fat on the man, it’s like he’s never been away, Lets just hope that that will translate into the match. JC: I don’t think you have anything to worry about on that score Randy, Christian Cage has always been a big-game player, and tonight will be no exception. RW: Well, I think there’s someone who might have something to say about that, so lets send it back to Jonathan Knight. Cage’s music fades away as we return to Jonathan Knight in the middle of the ring. Jonathan Knight: Introducing now, his opponent. He is a former SFT Lightweight Champion a former SFT TNT Champion, a former co-holder of the SFT World Tag Team Championship, and a member of the SFT Hall Of Fame. He comes to the ring tonight as the reigning and defending 4-Time SFT Hardcore Champion, standing 5’10’’ and weighing in tonight at 171lbs, fighting out of Columbia, South Carolina, “The Youth Warrior” NATHAN GUST!!! Grade 8’s “Adrenachrome” begins to echo around the arena as the fans get to their feet to applaud the entrance of the Hardcore Champion. Nathan Gust makes his way out onto the stage with his Hardcore Championship belt around his waist, and a look on his face that says he means business. Gust makes his way down the ramp, never taking his eyes off of Cage for a second as he performs a few last-minute stretches before the bell. As he reaches the ring, Gust climbs the ring steps and enters between the top and second ropes and his music begins to fade. The two men stand across the ring from each other as Cage removes his shades to lock eyes with his opponent. Gust takes the Hardcore Title belt from around his waist and hands it to the referee who raises it high in the air before calling for the bell to start the match. The two men begin to circle nervously, neither wanting to make the first move and risk giving their opponent an invaluable early advantage. They pause, still across the ring from each other and we see Cage say something to Gust with a smirk on his face, although we can’t hear what it is. Whatever Cage says though, it seems to have the desired affect, as Gust loses his composure and charges at Cage, seemingly trying for a spear or something similar, but Cage easily sidesteps it and throws Gust into the corner where he begins nailing the boy with a series of precise left hands to head and body. JC: Gust walked right into that one, Cage said something to get under his skin, and it worked to absolute perfection. That could be a crucial factor already here. After about 10 punches or so, Cage backs up a step or two to admire his handiwork before trying his luck with the same tactic again, but finding himself met this time with a vicious kick to the gut from Gust, who then proceeds to pepper his challenger with a series of lefts and rights of his own. RW: Now who walked into a trap? Whatever mind games Cage played at the start, he got his just reward there. Gust follows up by bouncing off of the ropes to attempt a cross body block, but Cage manages to dodge the bullet, sending Gust crashing to the mat in a heap. Not willing to repeat his showboating of a moment ago, Cage opts to press his advantage, dropping an elbow right into the small of Gust’s back and following up with a modified cross face, exerting pressure on the neck and back of the Hardcore Champion. JC: Sensible strategy from Cage, punishing Gust without expending energy himself. Gust struggles to free himself from Cage’s grip, but eventually it is the challenger who releases the hold of his own free will and follows up with another quick elbow to the back before Gust has a chance to regain his feet. When Gust does eventually manage to get vertical again, Cage grabs him by the hair and launches him between the top and middle ropes and out to the arena floor. Cage then climbs through the ropes onto the apron and leaps off with a Legdrop that connects squarely with the back of Gust’s head as the boy is struggling to his feet. Once again though, Cage is too quick to admire his won work and not quick enough to follow it up properly as Gust manages to nail his challenger with a desperate low blow, which he follows up with a drop toe hold before heading over to the announce table and grabbing a vacant chair. JC: I don’t know what’s going through Nathan Gust’s head, but I’m not sure I like it. RW: Neither will Christian Cage if Gust gets his way. Gust waits for Cage to climb up before swinging the chair, which Cage manages to partially block as it connects, but still takes some damage in the process and is forced back a step or two as Gust drops the chair and runs at Cage with an attempted Tornado DDT. Gust manages to partially execute the move, but as he is taking Cage down, ‘The Franchise’ manages to just push Gust off of him and send him back first into the ring post. For a few seconds, neither man moves as Gust is slumped against the ring post and Cage is flat on his face on the protective mats. RW: Great counter from Cage there, but he didn’t get away totally scot-free. JC: Something tells me that Gust may have come off worse though, his back has really taken a pounding thus far, and that meeting with the post won’t have helped matters. Slowly, Cage climbs up, but seems momentarily unsure of his bearing, and by the time he turns his attention back to Gust, the Hardcore Champion is also climbing back to his feet. Cage quickly cuts that off with a boot to the midsection and a knee to the face, which sends Gust back down far more quickly than he had gotten up. Dragging Gust back up to his feet at his own leisure, Cage positions the Champion against the steel ring post, and picks up the nearby chair with evil intentions on his mind. RW: Holy shit Cage, don’t you dare do this you sick bastard! Cage, unsurprisingly, ignores Randy White’s plea, and swings the chair like he’s trying for a home run. The sickening crack as the chair connects cleanly with Gust’s unprotected face echoes right up into the cheap seats. The Hardcore Champion slumps to the floor as Cage raises the blood splattered chair above his head like a sick trophy as he looks down with a satisfied smirk at the unmoving body of his opponent, whose head is already lying in a pool of his own blood. Cage seems to briefly contemplate asking Gust if he wants to end the match, but then thinks better of it and drags the kid to his feet instead and begins to drag him up the entrance ramp. Halfway up the ramp, Cage puts Gust’s head between his legs and hoists him into a Powerbomb position. RW: What the hell else can Cage do to Gust here; he should just end this now. JC: After all your talk about Gust not having any quit in him, you sure changed your tune pretty quick. RW: I just don’t want to see anyone get seriously hurt. JC: Then you’re in the wrong business. Before Cage can execute the Powerbomb, Gust somehow manages to squirm his way free and begins throwing desperation right hands at the challenger. RW: I have no idea how Nathan Gust is still standing after what Cage has inflicted on him so far tonight. The two men are brawling furiously on the steel ramp, blasting one another with full-blooded punches to the face, with every shot from Cage further bruising Gust and exacerbating the bleeding from the head of the Hardcore Champion. On this occasion though, it seems to be Gust who is getting the better of the exchange, and he manages to back Cage down the ramp towards the ring with a series of punches, interspersed with kicks to the midsection and to the back of Cage’s oft-injured knees. As the two reach the ring, Gust continues his assault by grabbing Cage by the hair and slamming him face first into the steel ring steps. JC: I tell you Randy, I have to be impressed with the way in which Nathan Gust has come back into this one. It wasn’t so long ago that he looked down and finished, but now the pendulum seems to be swinging his way. RW: That’s why Gust has held on to this Hardcore Title for as long as he, the man just doesn’t stay down, no matter how much is thrown at him, It’s gonna take something special to take that belt from him. JC: Well, we’ve seen some special things from Christian Cage before, and something tells me that he can produce another one here tonight. As Cage’s head rebounds from the steps, we can see that a small laceration has opened on his hairline, and Gust seems to home in on this like a laser-guided missile, knocking Cage to his knees and aiming punches right at the cut in an effort to open it up as much as he can. Before long, the blood is flowing down Cage’s face almost as freely as it is down Gust’s, and the Champion senses that victory may be close at hand. Walking over to the announce table, Gust grabs a microphone on a long cord and pulls it over to where Cage is, taking the opportunity firstly to use it as a weapon to try to extract yet more blood from Cage’s head. RW: We knew before the opening bell that this wasn’t going to be one for the squeamish, and so it has proved. Both men are bleeding heavily, and that has to be taking as much of a toll on their bodies as anything that their opponent can manage. Gust then raises the microphone to his own lips, screaming “ is there anything you wanna say?” to Cage before shoving the microphone into his opponent’s face (virtually down his throat in fact). Gusts’ question isn’t met with any kind of verbal response, but instead with a mouthful of spit from Cage which hits Gust squarely in the eyes and gives Cage the split second that he needs to regain his bearings and mount a counter attack. As Gust wipes the spit from his eyes, Cage blasts him with boot to the midsection and hits a DDT down onto the protective mats that surround the ring. JC: What impact for Cage right there, and once again, we see a big swing of the pendulum in this one, this time in favour of the challenger. RW: Even I’m starting to wonder if Nathan Gust has it in him to cope with the skills of a man like Cage, who will just keep coming at you, whatever you throw at him. JC: It’s this stage of the match, where both men have absorbed incredible amounts of punishment, that conditioning begins to come into play, and that’s where I think the advantage is with Cage, even though he’s over twice as old as Gust. You have to remember that for his previous SFT match, against Malinko in April, he weighed in at 265 lbs, but he’s come in tonight, after 6 months out of the ring, at 11lbs lighter than that. That’s testament to phenomenal conditioning, and that could be the difference maker in this one. Cage grabs the microphone cord and begins to choke Gust with it, wiping the blood from his own eyes with one had as his opponent’s face turns almost as red as the blood running down it. RW: Damn you Cage, let him go, before you kill him! JC: Shut up Randy, Gust knew exactly what he was letting himself in for when he signed up for this. Finally satisfied that he has gotten enough from the choke hold, Cage releases the cord from around the Champion’s neck and stands up to consider his next move as gust instinctively rolls into the foetal position to protect himself. Cage throws the microphone and cord into the ting and then throws Gust in after it before grabbing a steel chair and sliding in to the ring himself Cage then grabs the still stunned and battered Gust and sets up his trademark Deep Impact Driver while standing over the steel chair. JC: This is it folks, new Hardcore Champion coming up! RW: Don’t speak so soon, we don’t know what Gust has left. JC: Use your eyes Randy, Gust has nothing left, and it’s time for Cage to end this. Cage mouths “It’s Over” and draws his hand across his throat before under-hooking Gust’s arms and lifting him vertically. To prolong the torture, Cage holds Gust still for a second or two before sitting down and bouncing Gust’s skull off of the chair with a sickening crack. JC: Holy shit, did you hear that! Did you hear the sound of bone on steel there? Not even Superman could survive that. Cage climbs slowly to his feet with the aid of the ropes and once more wipes the blood from his eyes before grabbing the microphone and kneeling to shove it into the face of the barely-conscious Gust. Cage: Say it you son of a bitch!! Gust: I…I…I Quit! The bell sounds as Cage moves to his knees and raises his arm in the air in celebration. JC: He did it, he did, we have a new SFT Hardcore Champion!! RW: I may not like Christian Cage too much, but you have to give the man a hell of a lot of respect after that. He’s been out of the ring for six months and has come back to dethrone on of the most impressive Hardcore Champions of recent times. JC: Just goes to prove once and for all that things may change, people may come and go, but talent is forever, and Christian Cage represents that perfectly. Back in the ring Cage is standing, but only with the aid of the ropes and seems to be waiting for Gust to regain his feet. RW: Oh come on Cage, you got the gold, enough is enough. The referee comes into the ring and places the Hardcore belt over Cage’s shoulder as Gust climbs uneasily to his feet and eyes his conqueror. The two men stare at each other for a second or two before Gust snatches the belt from Cage’s shoulder. JC: What in the hell is Gust doing? That’s not his belt anymore! Gust motions for Cage to turn around, which ‘The Franchise’ does, but with a confused expression on his face. JC: Don’t do it Cage, it’s a goddamn trap, Gust’s just looking for some cheap shot revenge, like the coward that he is! RW: How can you say that any man who’s just been through that is a coward? Most of the arena seems to be willing Gust to smash Cage over the head with the belt, but instead, Gust straps the title belt around the waist of the new Champion before holding his hand out for a handshake. Cage turns back around and eyes Gust with a severe look of suspicion before slowly extending his own arm to meet Gust’s. The two men hake hands and then embrace in the centre of the ring as Kid Rock’s “Cocky” begins to blast over the PA System and Gust raises Cage’s arm high in the air. JC: What a show of class from these two, I guess even you would have to admit that Christian Cage is a class act after all. RW: I think that both men are class acts, they’ve been through hell together, and now Gust is man enough to accept that the better man beat him tonight, but I don’t think we’ve seen the last of this one. As you said John, we also have to give Christian Cage a hell of a lot of respect and credit for what we’ve seen from him tonight, both during and after this match, and I wish him luck for the weeks to come. Cage and Gust climbs out of the ring and walk up the ramp together to a huge and well-deserved ovation from the crowd, and head back to the locker room with cheers ringing in both of their ears. Winner,
and NEW SFT Hardcore Champion: ‘The Franchise’ Christian Cage
![]() We see several containers of
lighter fluid around the ring, next to the containers we see matches.
"Wait" and Bleed by Slipknot hits, we see Redd accompanied by Shadow make their way to the ring. The crowd cheer and boo as he makes his way to the ring. He slowly gets in and goes to his corner as Shadow circles the ring. RW: Well here we go now, ex Dead Pac member vs. current Dead Pac member. The bell rings as Johnny Legend starts it off with an uppercut, followed by a roundhouse kick then a plancha off the ropes. Legend with a guillotine leg drop followed by a monster powerslam. JC: Legend seems to be in control. Legend now with a powerbomb. He covers but only gets a 1 count. Legend climbs the ropes now, he flies off with a headbutt but Redd rolls out of the way. Redd now with a diamond cutter, he follows it up with a Russian leg sweep. He grabs Johnny and hits The Darkness. RW: Johnny is out cold. Redd goes to the outside grabs the fluid and is bout to douse Legend when Shadow signals for him not to. Redd then proceeds to pour fluid in a circle around Legend. Shadow opens up a black zippo and then sparks it and throws it on the ring. Redd and Shadow leave as Johnny starts to wake up to the ring of fire around him. JC: I think Redd and Shadow just sent a message to Johnny. RW: Message being, you can be burned by us anytime, consider this mercy? JC: Exactly. ![]() As the fans settle in there seats,
the lights go dim… Green lights appear and illuminate the ramp all the
way down to the ring. People begin to look towards the entrance way.
Suddenly, Rage against the Machine’s BULLS ON PARADE begins to blare
over the arena speakers… Fans get to their feet and Brickcity “B” makes
his way from behind the curtain. It takes the fans a moment to realize
who it is, but once they do… They erupt in chants of [FUCK YOU "B"!]
Well, some begin to chant... Others BOO frantically... Brickcity hops
into the ring, he takes a look around at the pieces of trash in the
arena and smirks as the fans simply gaze in amazement.
RW: Theres a upcoming SFT Superstar. Tonight is his first Intercontinental title shot. The entrance clouds with smoke and South West Voodoo hits as The Great Malinko makes his way through the fog to the ring. JC: The Great Malinko is looking to get his first SFT title tonight, and has proven he can be a tough opponent. The lights in the arena black out and smoke fills the entrance ramp as "Crawlin" by Linkin Park ft Staind plays over the speakers. "Trust and Believe" in white lettering flashes on the screen. Venom makes his way to the top of the ramp, waits a few seconds before slowly making his way down the ramp and into the ring. RW: Venom has felt the presence of gold before in the form of the World title. He definately wants this match. To climb the ladder to the top title. "Enter Sandman" begins to blare across the loudspeakers and is immediately met by a chorus of boos. Kyle Murphy walks out on stage wearing a black "LGP" t-shirt in addition to his ring attire. He has an intense, angry look on his face as he starts down the ramp, pulling off the t-shirt and throwing it aside as he goes. Kyle walks quickly down to ringside and steps up onto the apron. Pushing the top rope down, Murphy climbs over it and into the ring. In the ring Kyle goes to the far corner and climbs to the second turnbuckle, where he gestures around his waist and scowls out over the crowd. With a sneer he steps down and, adjusting his knee pads, gets set to fight. RW: Theres the man wanting to keep the Intercontinental title. You know he's going to do anything he can to hold onto it. JC: Yeah definately. The referee calls for the bell. All four men stand in their corners for a few moments and stare down each other. Then movement strikes as Venom moves in Brickcity's direction, and Great Malinko to Murphy. Brickcity goes for a haymaker but Venom blocks it, and nails him hard right in the chin. Brickcity immediately hits the ground, and looks up at Venom holding his chin.. Venom smiles and raises his hands. Brickcity gets back up, and both men begin exchanging. Meanwhile, Great Malinko has Murphy by the hair, banging Murphy's face into his knee repeatedly until Great Malinko harvestes all his energy, and nails him in the face one last time sending Murphy straight to the ground. Then out of no where Brickcity runs right into Malinko because Venom had thrown him in that direction. Both men get back up to their feet quick. Brickcity nails Malinko's kidney once, twice, and then follows up with a uppercut to Malinko's chin. Malinko goes back a step and is stunned. Meanwhile Murphy and Venom has locked up, and Venom quickly overpowers Murphy and sends him straight to the ground. Murphy gets back up and starts walking up to Venom. Kyle strikes Venom in the blinking of an eye.. Then Kyle throws a left, a right, then a kick to the gut, and follows up with a DDT. However Venom still gets up just as fast as Murphy. Murphy begins walking torwards Venom once again. This time a look of rage is on his face. Kyle throws a right, Venom blocks it, Kyle throws another left, but Venom blocks that as well. Now Venom connects with a thunderous headbutt. Meanwhile, Malinko has just connected with the pedigree on Brickcity. Malinko walks over to Brickcity, grabs him by the hair, and pulls him up to his feet, but Brickcity hits Malinko with a low blow, then follows up with a european uppercut. Brickcity grabs Malinko by the back of the head, and delivers another european uppercut. Next Brickcity grabs Malinko and connects with a double arm DDT. Brickcity looks over just in time to see that Venom has Kyle Murphy in a sharpshooter. Brickcity runs over there and dropkicks Venom right in the face. Brickcity is up, and waiting as Venom gets back to his feet. Venom's back up, and the two men grapple up. Venom pulls Brickcity up to him, and launches him in the air in the form of a belly to belly suplex RW: Man what a match this has been so far. JC: Yeah its one thats rocking the house. Murphy has Malinko stuck in the corner. Murphy keeps firing punch after punch in various orders to various parts of the body, and then is grabbed from behind by Venom. Venom tosses him up in the air in the form of a german suplex. Venom gets back up, and Malinko comes from behind and grabs Venom up in a chicken wing. Brickcity has now got back to his feet, and smashes Malinko in the face with a elbow breaking the hold. Murphy attacks Venom but to no avail. Venom kicks him in the gut as Malinko does Brickcity, and at the same time Venom, and Malinko pick the other two up into the air, and powerbombs them hard into the canvas. The crowd cheers loudly as Malinko looks at Venom. Malinko runs at Venom and spears him right off oh his feet, Malinko jumps ontop of Venom and begins pounding him. Malinko continues to do so until Murphy grabs Malinko, and throws him off of Venom. Murphy runs up to Malinko on all fours, and punts him in the side, then follows up with a knee to the side of Malinko's face. Venom sits up and holds his head for a second, but is meets Brickcitys feet when he connects with a dropkick. Brickcity gets back up, turns around, and jumps connecting with a lionsault.

RW: Let’s just move on… ![]() "Numb" by Linkin Park hits the PA
system and we see Page Michaels making his way down to the ring.
JC: What the hell is he doing out here? He has nothing to do with this match as far as I know. RW: I am not sure..... Page: Well, I don't really know how to say this, but we will not be seeing a World Title match here tonight... The crowd erupts in boos as Page tries to continue Page: Listen, do to unforseen circumstances neither competitor can be here tonight, but this match will happen sometime.... The crowd erupts once agin in boos, drowning Page until he tosses the mic aside and walks out of the ring. JC: Well that sucks, I was looking forward to that match. Suddenly the lights black out and
the Strike-Tron starts to flicker. A large spotlight begins to shine on
the screen.....After a few moments the screen comes solid to
reveal........
![]() The screen goes back to black and the lights slowly come back on, as they do Brickcity "B", Kyle Murphy, Saga and Nirvana are standing at the top of the ramp. The lights are only on breifly before Nirvana raises his arms and calls for the lights to be dimmed once again..... RW: What are these guys doing??? The lights come back on and LGP is nowhere to be seen. JC: I don't know looks like we have a new stable, but I can't see this one lasting any longer than the rest do. We have the two most annoying people in SFT, in "B" and Saga, with two SFT greats, it won't last. RW: Well that's all the time we have here tonight, see you all next time! |
