Southern Scorcher Opening

The crowd is on their feet at the sold out arena, Skynard playing in the background, crowd is just all into it. It feel like a party atmoshphere really, that is till the music is cut, the lights dim and out comes Shadow. He wears a dark colored suit, a cane in his right hand, a mic in the other. He stands there just smiling at everyone. He's greeted by a warm welcome.

Shadow: Thank you, thank you, but thank you most of all for cutting the music, that damn song was killing me. I cant stand Lynard Skynard, (this brings boos from the crowd.) Sweet Home Alabama? pshhh puhlease, dont make me puke, Alabama is full of white trailer park trash that drink Pabst Blue Ribbon beer all day and sit on lawn chairs watching people pass by all damn day. (Big time heat now on Shadow)

"You all can boo me all you want now, I dont care, I have no idea why we're even here, you people arent worthy of a house show, much less a ppv. (The boos reign on him now)"

(Shadow just laughs it up)

"I might as well make something good out of this fiasco. As most of you know SFT will put on a show that you yokels will tell your grandkids about, if they dont come out all messed up, you know inbreeding sometimes causes that (boos get so loud it takes a while before he can speak). Yeah yeah whatever, the truth hurts dont it? But I have much truth to speak tonight. People think they can stop me? They think they can take what I want, but no one defies me. I will teach Owen tonight what I mean, and I will make damn sure SFT knows who owns it.'

(All of a sudden we hear a voice)

????: "tsk tsk tsk, Shadow oooolllld buddy, you tried to take me out. But ya know what they say- you cant keep a good man down... and its even harder to keep a bad brother like me down."

Shadow is looking around wondering who is speaking.

The StrikeTron goes on. A red limousine is seen, the driver gets out and opens the door. Rumpke, The Accountant, and about 2 other security guys stand around the door. Out steps Mike Hawk, who looks around before signaling someone to step out of the limo. The figure steps out and we see.... Anthony Jesus standing there, he looks at the camera.

"Hey there Shadow, thought you got rid of me didnt you? Thought you took out Big T? Well Shadow, the problem is you thought. And ya know what... I own half of SFT, and I aint giving that up, not for you, not for anyone. You better get used to having me around, and if you can't or choose not to, looks like we gots trouble."

Shadow: "Looks like we got trouble."

Jesus: "Then I'll tell ya what we're going to do. You have Glenn Owen (crowd cheers for the British Bad Ass) yeah, in a scaffold match tonight. Good luck! Then we have the main event between Black (the crowd boos) and Aj Nin Red Rum (the crowd gives a mixed reaction) via sattelite from the Mobile Civic Center in the first ever, FIRST EVER ANYWHERE, Escapement Match!! As soon as that match is done and over with, come meet me out here in the parking lot. And I will be remembering what happen to me the last time I was in a parking lot. By the way.... old man, the bell tolls for thee.

Shadow looks pissed as he storms aways.

Phil: Uh oh, two owners fueding, that doesnt bode well for SFT.

Steve: I think things are gonna get worse before they get better.

Phil: Well lets worry about that later for now we got a ppv to get started! First match of the evening is a doozy.

 

Match Number One
Hit Squad vs. Fireball & Rando Sun
SFT Tag Team Championship Match

Phil: Ok our first match of the night is the Tag Team title match.

Steve: Thats right and Fireball has a late partner in Rando Sun.

Stephen Lee and Zuez's music hit and out they come down to a mixed reaction, but more boos than cheers.

Phil: I guess we know who the heels are for this match.

Now Downfall by TRUSTcompany starts up and out comes Fireball and Rando Sun with the tag titles around their wastes. They hand the titles to the ref. All 4 men in the ring as the bell rings.

Zues goes out and so does Fireball, Rando and Stephen Lee start it off, Lee begins the match with a flying clothesline followed by a back body drop, but Rando recovers quickly with a leg take down followed by a guillotine leg drop, he does a snap mare and Lee's neck looks aweful as it snaps back.

Rando tags in Fireball as Fireball goes to work on Lee. Fireball with a series of atomic drops on Lee, on one the last drop Lee manages to bounce in his corners direction and tags in Zues. Zues comes in strong and manages a big ax handle on Fireball and follows it up with a shoulder block. Zues with a suplex as he covers but only gets a 1 count.

Phil: Zues showing some power here.

Zues with a powerbomb on Fireball and again covers but only gets a 1 count. Zues goes for another powerbomb but Fireball reverses it into an X-Factor and manages to get to his corner. Rando comes in and nails Zues with a dropkick.

Zues gets up again but Rando hits him with another dropkick.

Steve: Nice moves by the former TV Champ.

Fireball comes around the ring and is brawling with Lee on the outside. Fireball nails a vicious chair shot on Stephen Lee. Lee wobbles around as Fireball hurries back to his own corner.

In the ring meanwhile we still see Rando punishing Zues, Zues tries to slow it down with a bearhug, but after several agonizing seconds Rando comes back with a headbutt. Zues releases the hold but is left wobbling.

Zues manages to get to his corner and accidentally tags in his even more out of partner Lee. Lee gets in the ring somehow but Rando has already recovered. Rando with a DDT!

Rando goes for the pin 1..2..kickout. Rando goes up top and goes for a 5 Star Splash, but Lee somehow gets out of the way, Zues runs in and nails Rando, he picks Rando up and hits a cradeled suplex. Zues leaves the ring and Lee covers 1.2. Rando fights back and hits a Front Russian Leg sweep. He rolls over Lee, and 1..2..kickout.

Fireball nonchalantly walks up to Zues and nails him with a chair in the back of the head as Zues goes down like a sack of patotoes on the ground.

Fireball walks away as if nothing.

Phil: Fireball is absolutely intense and will do what it takes to win.

Rando Sun maneuvers Stephen Lee around and manages to lock in his Pain Killer, Lee fights it for a while but it just becomes to much and he has to tap out.

Steve: Stephen Lee sumbits? Oh Damn, what a huge win for the barely new tag team champs.

Phil: I really thought Hit Squad had a chance.

Steve: So did I but the combo of Rando and Fireball was just too much.

Winner: Fireball and Rando Sun via Submission

As the referee hands the tag titles to Fireball and Rando Sun, both men snatch away their belts and hold them into the air in celebration of their victory. They begins to lower the titles, and start to make their way out of the ring.

Phil: Well it appears that they’ll hold the title for yet another two months.

Steve: What do you mean?

Phil: Well what other tag teams do we have in the SFT…What the hell is going on now?

Right in the middle of Phil statement, suddenly the lights begin to dim in the arena, and then suddenly, all the lights in the arena turn a bright red. Upon seeing this both Rando and Fireball stop in their tracks and begin to look around the arena inconfusion. Suddenly the number 10 flashes on the Striketron, and then begins to countdown, seeing this the crowd starts to count down with it.

Steve: What the hell is this New Years Eve come earlier?

Phil: No Phil but if it is what I think it is, the tag team division in the SFT is about well deserved kick in the ass.

The Crowd following the clock: 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Suddenly there is a huge explosion, at the entrance ramp, the on the Striketron the following starts to play:

ELITE, YOU HAVE JUST ENTERED A STATE OF

AFTERMATH

Suddenly Devil’s Night by D12 hits the PA system, as Triple X come walk out from behind the curtain wearing a brand new Aftermath T-shirt.

Phil: The rumors were true, the rumors were true, the Aftermath is back!

Steve: Yeah but I only see Triple X, where the hell is Eliminator?

In the ring, both Fireball and Rando have dropped the title, and are waiting in a ready position for Triple X to enter the ring, when out of the crowd comes Eliminator. He climbs on the ring apron steps over the top rope, and hits an unexpecting Rando in the back of the head with a big boot. Seeing this Fireball instantly turns and starts to exchange blow with Eliminator, but this efforts are stop short as Triple X catches him from behind with a thunderous forearm shot to the back of his head. As the two men begins to stomp on Fireball, Rando gets to his feet and comes to his partner aid. But this efforts are cut short as Eliminator grabs him and hits the Paralyzer(Chokeslam). Triple X then turns his attention to Fireball and without hesitation he locks in the Xcessive Force(SteinerRecliner). Seeing this Eliminator picks up one of the Tag Titles and holds it right into the face of the semiconscious Fireball. Finally a group of referees hit the ring. As Triple X release the hold, Eliminator and Triple X stand over the body of Fireball. Then Triple X pulls out a black bandana with a large red A on the front of it and places on the face of Fireball, and before they walk away, you can read and hear Triple X say “You’ve Just Been Marked, B*tch!”. The two men then leave the ring as the crowd let a mix course of boos and cheers.

Phil: The Aftermath is back, finally some real competition in the Tag Team Division.

Devil's Night plays as the re-debuted team of Triple X and Eliminator, better known as Aftermath, walk backstage.

Backstage

We cut from inside the arena to the parking lot outside. In the distance we can hear a loud motorcycle. The motorcycle come flying into view from behind the parked cars. The sleek, black motorcycle skids to a stop in front of the open arena doors. Everyones stops to look at this person, this person clad in black. The rider turns off the engine to the black Triumph Thunderbird, the one just like Steve McQueen used to ride. The rider is clad in nothing but black leather; a black leather zipped-up jacket, black leather pants, black leather gloves, black hard-soled boots, and a black sheilded helmet with red flames on the side. The fiberclassed shield is smoked so you can't see whose underneath the helmet. The person walks toward the open doors as the security guards stand with their arms folded and staring at the rider. The rider pushes the one in their way over and they stummble. The largest of the security guards begins to yell at the rider clad in black.

SECURITY GUARD: Hey...do you belong here? HEY! Stop right there...Hey, you're not allowed back there.

The rider keeps walking to the lit backstage area of the arena. The large security guard begins to get become angry and just yells things we can't understand. As the rider walks they life up their arm and give the security guards the finger. The guards flip out but don't follow as the rider walks. The riders hard-soled boots bang into the concret floor as they walk toward to where ever it is her or she is going. The rider reaches an office door that has "Shadow" written on the door and goes barging through without knocking and slams the door behind them.

Steve: What the hell was that?

Phil: Better yet, who the hell was that?

Steve: And what the hell do they want with Shadow?

Phil: Who knows man? Who knows?

 

Match Number Two
Erik Dean vs. The Accountant
SFT Lightweight Championship Match

Steve: Well after the victory of the tag champs, this next match is for the vacant Lightweight title. Champion.

Phil: Two deserving contenders for this title are stepping into the Scorcher ring.

"Breakdown" erupts throughout the arena as Erik Dean walks onto the stage. The dark Dean walks down to the arena with a mixed reaction following him. The crowd doesn't seem to into this match as there wasn't much of a build up. Dean climbs into the ring when "Money, Money, Money" begins to play. Accountant walks out to loud boos from the fans. He cockily walks into the ring over the second rope with his black briefcase in tow. He then walks over to the corner, removes his suit coat and gives it to the ring attendant and places his glasses in the briefcase before shutting it and placing it under the turnbuckles in one of the corners. As he is bent over, Dean slams him head first into the middle turnbuckle. Immediately Dean begins to work over the Accountant's ankle.

Steve: Seems Dean has been doing his homework.

Phil: That ankle has put Accountant on the shelf on more than one occasion.

Dean kicks and stomps onto the ankle. Accountant grives in pain as the assault continues. Dean locks in a side leg lock. Accountant collapses on the mat as the ref tries to count him out. Only a two count. Dean releases the hold and leaps to the top rope. Dean gloats to the crowd as Accountant slowly climbs to his feet. Dean looks on malically before leaping from the top rope. Accountant turns and dropkicks Dean in the midsection. Dean falls hard to the canvas. Accountant struggles to get to his feet as Dean holds his stomach. Both men work their way to their feet. Dean turns as Accountant leaps him, executing a sunset flip. Two count. Both men hop to their feet and begin with the flying fists. Accountant gets the advantage and whips Dean into the far ropes. Dean attempts a clothesline but it is ducked by Accountant. Erik Dean and Accountant both turn around. Accountant kicks Dean in the gut and almost hits a DDT, but Erik Dean pushes him back into the turnbuckles. Erik Dean and Accountant both slowly come out of the corner. Erik Dean puts a foot in Accountan't stomach, sets him up for and hits the Spoken Words. Erik Dean turns Accountant over and covers him for the 1,2,3!

Steve: Extremely hard fought match for the Accountant.

Phil: He was SO close, but Erik Dean beat him fair and square.

Winner: Erik Dean via Pinfall

Erik Dean points down and laughs at Accountant. Then he starts kicking away at Accountant. WWWWWWWIIIIIIIISSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH... Across The Nation hits and Rumpke runs out to the ring with a chair. He slides in the ring and hits Erik Dean in the back. Fight Song Remix hits and out runs EOR, minus Aj Nin Red Rum. As they slide in the ring, Rumpke drops the chair and exits the ring. Rumpke jumps over the guardrail and runs backstage. Axl Kronus and Kevin help Erik Dean up. Erik Dean shoves them back and looks ready to fight. As it looks as if some punches are about to be thrown, Erik Dean and Mason shake hands.

Steve: What the hell is this about?

Erik Dean shakes Kevin and Axl Kronus' hands as well.

Phil: I aint no rocket scientist type person, but it looks to me like Erik Dean has just joined Evil Over Rule.

Fight Song Remix hits again as EOR and there newest member Erik Dean walk backstage.

Steve: EOR grows every week.

Backstage

The scene cuts backstage to see Rico Smith at the start position, pumping himself up. Then the scene cuts to a hallway where Ace and Cass are walking. The scene cuts back to ringside.

 

Match Number Three
Rico Smith vs. Ace
SFT Television Championship Match

Phil: Boy, I just can't wait for this match.

Steve: Me either, Phil. Ace is a class act and Rico....well Rico isn't.

Phil: And I have a feeling Ace is gonna teach Rico a thing or two.

Steve: Let's not waste anymore time. Let's get to it.

The words "I'm Here To Stay" are sung by John Davis, and they distort as it cuts into "TV Party" by Black Flag. The lights flicker pink and red as Rico Smith steps out onto the Southern Scorcher stage and walks down to the ring. He slaps hands with people in the crowd, and then steps up the stairs. He hops over the top ropes, and extends his arms cruifix style. Rico goes over to the oppisite side of the ring and stands on the second ropes and extends his arms crucifix again.

Steve: I gotta admit. Rico is looking good tonite. He walked down to the ring with a swagger like he was gonna walk out a champion tonite.

Phil: I see the same thing, but Ace is too much for Rico and that'll be proven here in this ring.

"Here comes the BOOM" is heard throughout the arena as the lights go out. A few seconds later, "Boom" by P.O.D. breaks out in the arena, as red and sliver lights flash around the arena. Smoke appears on the stage. Suddenly, a light shines through the smoke, and two figures can be seen. They step out, and they are revealed as Ace and Cass. The crowd goes nuts, as Ace and Cass pose for the crowd. The then walk down the ramp and then slide into the ring. Ace then climbs a turnbuckle and taunts the crowd, as the crowd goes nuts again. He then jumps off and walks over to the opposite turnbuckle and taunts the crowd.

Phil: See, I'm tellin ya. There is no way Ace is leaving without his belt tonite.

Ace walks around the ring for a second. His smiles and jubilations turning to calmness. He looks up at Rico, who is ready to start the match and then walks over to the ropes. He asks for a mic and gets one.

Steve: Um, what the hell is this all about? What does he wanna say? Let's start kicking ass already.

Phil: I think he wants to prepare Rico for the ass whopping he's about to receive.

Ace: Well, here I am. I never thought I would be saying this. I always presumed I would be with SFT forever, all the way until it dies, or the staff came to their senses and fired me. But just like always, something screws up. Man, I can still remember my first ever match. It was in SFW, Ice (me) vs Minion, and I won only cause Minion didn’t cut a promo. Ahh..since then, I have been kicked out of SFW (smart people back then) and moved to XCW where Ace was created. He was my first successful character within the 1 and a half months I have been doing this. But anyway, as time grew on, I somehow managed to win titles, and even the SFT Intercontinental Title. I never expected to win that, never in my life. But at the moment, I think it is best I leave it at that with the SFT Television Title. Wow, another Title I never expected to win. I owe a lot to SFT, hell, I got to meet Shadow, one of the coolest guys I know. And yes Dogg, you as well, and Glenn and Dave. You are the guys I have looked up to since I was in SFW. And to talk, and be in the same stable as you guys completely rocked, not mention that it got me worried with what I thought you were smoking. But anyway, you guys were the basis Ace was created off. Your instant coolness. But now, I guess I can not carry it on. Since my return in June, I guess you have seen me do nothing, which is what I want to see. But anyway, with every match, I am beginning to lose interest. I have lost my touch that I never had. So I guess, it is at the time, that I have to say, I am retiring.

Phil: WHAT?!

Steve: He cant be! Ace is two feet away from being in the World title spotlight. He's walking away?!

Ace: Yes, the word I have dreaded and never wanted anybody else to see. But when I really think about it, there is nothing left that I want to achieve or can achieve. I did what I wanted to in February, and that is become a singles champion. I had grown tired of team wrestling. And the weird thing, is that I help the Intercontinental Title for almost 2 months. What is going on? But thank God, Fox was around. So since then, there was nothing I needed. I got a few dreams come true, seeing more Shadow promos, have a promo against me from Glenn. Somehow become champion again, and then getting into the tournament for the World Title Number 1 Contender. All this was cool, but deep down, I should have left in March and should have never come back. So as I speak now, I know I will be back sometime down the line, when I have no idea, but I know not for a long time. So with that, I end my speech here.

Ace drops the mic. He takes off his TV title around his waist, looks at it one last time, and then hands it to Rico. Rico reluctantly takes it. Ace walks out of the ring to boo's because the fans dont want him to go. Halfway up the ramp, the boo's turn to cheers as Ace turns around, waves to the crowd one last time, and then disappears through the curtain. In the ring, Rico just walks out of the ring and heads back, kinda draggin the title.

Steve: I don't think Rico wanted the title like that.

Phil: Yea, me either. But he is the champion now. And if he wants to solidify the fact that he should be champion, he needs to come out and defend the title ASAP and beat whoever his opponent is.

Winner: Rico Smith via Forfeit

Backstage

All of a sudden, the scene cuts backstage. Ace is walking down the hall. He looks sort of sad. A voice says something.

???: Hey, Ace!

Ace and Cass turn around to see Owner Anthony Jesus and Mike Hawk standing in Jesus' office door.

Ace: What do you want Jesus?

Jesus: Why don't you enter my office. We have some business to talk about.

Ace, with a puzzled look on his face, decides to enter Jesus' office. Mike Hawk shuts the door after Ace and Cass enter the office.

Steve: What business could Jesus possibly have to talk about with Ace? The man just quit.

Phil: I have no clue Steve. I think we're goign to have to wait and find out.

 

Match Number Four
Kyle Murphy vs. Triple X
Hell in a Cell Match

Steve: This following match should not be for the weak at heart.

Phil: That's right Steve. A Hell In a Cell Match is no walk in the park at all.

Steve: It is one of the most brutalist matches in wrestling. It takes a toll on your body and could possibly end your career.

Phil: It's a dangerous place to be Steve. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be stuck inside there.

Steve: Triple X and Kyle Murphy will be squaring off inside that deadly steel structure. The only way to win is by pin fall or submission.

Phil: Let's just hope for our sake this match does end in either a pin fall or submission. These guys are too good to lose and be carried out on a stretcher.

“Till I Collapse” by Eminem hits the P.A system follow by dark orange and red pyro shooting in the form of an X in front of the entrance ramp. After the pyro display, Triple X makes his way from the back and down to ringside.

Steve: The leader of the Foundation looks very confident here tonight.

Phil: When doesn't he look confindent Steve?

"Enter Sandman" by Metallica blares over the loudspeakers and Kyle Murphy steps through the curtain out onto the stage, getting a mixed response from the crowd. He walks confidently down the aisle before leisurely climbing up the steel steps and into the ring, where he gets set to go.

Phil: We're ready to get under way.

Steve: This match should be one of the better matches of the night. And knowing both of these wrestlers, they shouldn't disappoint.

The bell sounds, and the match begins. Both men circle each other inside the ring, while looking around at the steel structure around them. They then meet in the middle and lock it up. Both men are trying for to gain the advantage and Kyle Murphy gets it and begins to run Triple X into the corner. Triple X hits the turnbuckles back first and he then falls to the ground holding his back. Kyle Murphy stomps away on the back of Triple X adding to the pain. Kyle Murphy then exits the ring and goes under the apron.

Steve: Murphy has the early advantage and now he is looking to capitalize even more as he is searching under the apron for a weapon.

Phil: He is starting out strong, but I think he should've kept the attack going on Triple X instead of going to the outside.

Murphy enters the ring with steel chair in hand and goes towards Triple X. He is now barely standing up as Murphy swings the chair at Triple X's head. He then ducks under the chair shot and sweep kicks Murphy taking his legs out from under him. Triple X then elbow drops Murphy in the gut and gets up and does it one more time. Triple X then picks up Murphy and throws him outside the ring. Murphy crashes to the floor and Triple X goes out after him.

Steve: You were right Phil. Kyle should've kept the attack on Triple X.

Phil: Now Triple X has the advantage, and Kyle is getting his ass beat.

Triple X picks up Murphy on the outside and whips him into the side of the steel cage. Triple X then picks up Murphy once more and throws him into the side of the steel cell. Murphy falls to the floor and is holding his head. Triple X then grabs Murphy's face and begins to grind it into the side of the steel cage. Murphy begins to bleed as the ref is yelling at Triple X to stop. Triple X continues to do it with an evil grin on his face. He finally stops and raises Murphy's face up to show that it is a bloody mess. Triple X then rolls Murphy back into the ring.

Phil: Murphy is really in a bad way now. Triple X has used the cell to his advantage and Murphy is a bloody mess.

Steve: This match should be all over here. Triple X is going for the pin.

Triple X pins Murphy and the ref begins to count.......1.........2........kickout by Murphy! Murphy barely got his shoulder up to the disbelief of Triple X. He then gets in the refs face and bangs his hands...1...2..3 and then goes back to Murphy. Triple X picks up Murphy and has him locked on for a belly to belly suplex. Triple X tries to elevate Murphy, but he counters it with a belly to belly suplex of his own. Both men then fall down to the mat and are trying to get up. The crowd is on its feet cheering both men on.

Steve: Murphy has somehow done it.

Phil: He pulled off that impressive belly to belly suplex.

Steve: I don't know how he did it, but it is now anyone's ball game.

Both men are up on his knees and Murphy whipes some of the blood off his face. They are now on their feet, and both men begin to exchange blows. Murphy then kicks Triple X in the gut and connects with a snap ddt. Murphy goes for the pin.....1....2...Triple X quickly kicks out. Triple X slowly gets up, but Murphy knocks him down with another hard right. Murphy then picks up that steel chair and attempts to hit Triple X while he is down, but he rolls out of the way. Triple X gets out of the ring and Murphy is furious. He slams the chair down in the ring and then exits the ring and goes after Triple X.

Phil: Both men are battling hard and are really putting on a great show here in Alabama.

Steve: Kyle Murphy even though he is bleeding from the forehead is still in this matchup to the suprise of Triple X and everyone else in this arena.

Kyle Murphy is on the outside looking for Triple X but he cannot find him. Murphy then turns around, and Triple X knocks him out of his boots with a huge clothesline. Triple X then picks up Murphy and carries him over to the cell door. Triple X yells at the ref to unlock the door and he does so. Triple X then throws Murphy out of the door and he falls down to the mat below. Triple X then stares up at the top of the cell.

Steve: No Triple X don't do it.

Phil: Stay down here. Don't climb up that cell.

Triple X then begins to climb up the side of the cell. Murphy is slowly getting up, and he sees Triple X climbing. Murphy has no choice, and he goes after Triple X followed by the referee. Triple X reaches the top and awaits for Murphy. As Murphy gets close to the top he trips up Triple X and he falls on his back on the cell. Murphy then elevates himself on to the top of the cell along with the ref. Murphy then picks up Triple X and body slams him into the cell. Murphy then hooks the leg of Triple X......1.....2....he kicks out.

Phil: This is getting really dangerous now.

Steve: Both men and the referee are now on top of the cell, and anything can happen.

Murphy then picks up Triple X and sets him up for the Kyledriver. Murphy tries to execute the move, but Triple X won't budge. Triple X then sends Murphy over his back and crashing onto the top of the cell. Triple X then grabs Murphy and runs him over to the side of the cell and throws him off the top!

Phil: Look out Steve!

Murphy falls off the top of the cell and crashes into the announce table below. He is motionless laying on a pile that was the announce table.

Steve: Kyle Murphy is broken in half! Is he even breathing Phil??

Phil: I don't know Steve, but this doesn't look good. Kyle Murphy is out cold right in front of us.

Steve: We need some EMTs out here quick. Murphy needs help real fast.

Triple X is now climbing down the side of the cell as EMTs are rushing to the scene. Triple X is down to the mat and goes over to Kyle. Triple X places his boot on the chest of Kyle, and the ref counts the 1.....2...3! Triple X then raises his hands in the air as the bell sounds ending the match. EMTs are now attending Murphy as Triple X is celebrating up the ramp.

Steve: Well folks right now Murphy is being attended by EMTs who said Murphy is breathing but unconcious.

Phil: They said he is going in and out of conciousness to be exact and he will be taken to the local medical facility here in Alabama.

Steve: I just hope he will be all right. Murphy is one great wrestler. It would be a huge loss to SFT if he couldn't wrestle again.

Winner: Triple X via Pinfall

Backstage

The scene fades backstage to Candy Peaks, who is about to ask Radiant a couple questions.

Candy Peaks: I am here with the United States Champion Radiant. Radiant, tonight you defend your title against Fox. You battled him a couple weeks ago in the first round of the #1 Contender Tournament. What did you learn from that match?

Radiant: I learned quite a bit actually. I now understand myself and others better and know you can never be too careful with what you say or do. Fox is a great wrestler, but this chapter, chapter 2, in our saga is going to have a different little turn in the story. Although he came out on top last time, the plot will seem to have changed after our match when Im handed back my United States title. Maybe he'll understand me now and know I'm like no other.

Candy Peaks: Last week on Slaughter, SkorchD was helping Fox beat you up. Do you worry about SkorchD trying to interfere?

Radiant: Nothing brings fear to me, not even SkorchD. The pyro freak who was once claimed to be dead has brought no fear yet to these eyes and tonight he can try yet again, but nothing will change. If he is even as stupid as he was before he'll try it again and find out that when you mess with Radiant...you mess with The Foundation. I dare Skorch to get involved on my match, I dare him.

Candy Peaks: Sounds like your ready to fight. Good luck!

Radiant: Thanks Candy.

Radiant smiles and so does Candy Peaks. Radiant walks off as the scene fades back to ring side.

Phil: Some interesting words from Radiant.

 

Match Number Five
Fox vs. Radiant
SFT United States Championship Match

Steve: We don't have an announce table Phil!

Phil: I know Steve. Thanks for stating the obvious.

Steve: For those of you who missed it, we'll show it to you again.

The scene fades to the StrikeTron and shows Triple X launching Kyle Murphy off the top of the cell. It then fades to Kyle Murphy being attended to by EMTs and carried off on the stretcher. The scene then cuts back to Steve and Phil.

Phil: I just hope Kyle is alright.

The lights go out and fog lifts around the ramp down to the ring. The voices of children are heard over the speakers and they get louder and louder... until one of them says "Can you hear the voices?" and then drums are heard getting louder and louder as two bolts of red lightning come to either side of the top of the ramp as "Voices" plays. As the lighting hits Fox stands in the middle of the pyro that went off... and then slowly walks down to the ring in a blood red robe. He walks down and gets into the ring and then stands on one of the turnbuckles facing a loudly booing crowd and as the lights are still off the pyro goes off on that one turnbuckle as he is on it. As he steps down from the turnbuckle the lights go on and he awaits his enemy.

Steve: These two men met a few weeks ago on War for the Number One Contender Tournament.

Phil: Fox came out victorious in that contest. Will history repeat itself? Or will Radiant get his revenge.

"Because I'm T-N-T! I'm Dynamite!" Hit's the P.A. System and the crowd erupts from their seats. "TNT" by AC/DC starts off halfway through the song already as it plays and through the curtains darts out Radiant. He steps out onto the stage and spins around in a three-hundred degree spin and then stops and throws his arms into the air getting an awkwardly loud pop from the fans. He smiles and then begins walking down the ramp slapping some hands along the way. He reaches the ring and hops up onto the ring apron and turns around facing the staging area and titan tron. A few seconds go by and suddenly orange pyros shoot out from the two nearest turnbuckles just as Radiant lifts his arms up into the air. He turns around and climbs in between the two middle ropes and enters the ring. He runs to the far turnbuckle and hops up onto the middle rope and looks up at the ceiling of the arena and then shoots his arms into the air yet again and receives just one more pop from the fans. He hops down and then stares over at Fox.

Phil: Everything is set to go. Radiant is hoping he can pick up the win on Fox and even things up.

Steve: Radiant better pick up the win because his United States Title is on line. And I'm sure he doesn't want to lose it.

The bell sounds, and the match begins. The ref raises the U.S. Title in the air, and Fox runs at Radiant and knocks him down with a quick clothesline.

Steve: Fox is starting off quick here.

Phil: He wants to put away Radiant early, to avoid any type of upset.

Fox picks Radiant up to his feet and whip him off the ropes. Radiant comes back bouncing off the ropes, and Fox connects with a drop kick. Fox covers Radiant and the ref begins to count.....1.....2.....Radiant gets his shoulder up. Fox grabs Radaint by his hair and then brings him over to the corner. Fox goes to grab Radiant's head and slam it on the turnbuckle, but Radiant elbows Fox in the gut and returns the favor. Radiant slams Fox's head on the turnbuckle as the crowd begins to count....1....2...3..4..5...6..7..8..9..10!

Steve: You better get Fox some Advil. I think he is going to need it after that attack by Radiant.

Phil: Fox is going to need a little more then Advil as he finds himself on the wrong side of this match.

Radiant has Fox setup for a superplex on the top turnbuckle, but Fox pushes Radiant off and he falls down crashing to the mat below. Fox hops down off the top turnbuckle and goes on the attack of Radiant. Fox then picks up Radiant and sets him up for a powerbomb. Fox connects and then looks for a pin. Fox elevates his legs on the ropes to get leverage as the ref counts.....1.....2...The ref stops counting. Fox gets in the ref's face demanding why he stopped counting and the ref showed he had his feet on the ropes. Fox releasizes he's been caught and just goes to stomp away on Radiant.

Phil: Fox tried to use those ropes to help him win the match.

Steve: He's trying to win by any means neccessary Phil.

Fox then stops stomping away on Radiant and picks him up. He then violently tosses him out of the ring and Radiant falls hard to the outside falling on his shoulder. Fox then exits the ring and goes after Radiant as the ref begins to count......1.....2.....

Steve: Radiant landed akwardly on his shoulder here on the outside.

Phil: We already had one superstar leave on a stretcher, we don't need another.

Radiant is slowly trying to get up and Fox charges at Radaint.........3........4......Radiant then lifts Fox over his head and flap jacks Fox who falls down to the mat below.....5..........6.....Radiant holding his shoulder in pain, goes over to Fox and rolls him back inside the ring.

Phil: Radiant is still hanging in this match even with the condition his shoulder seems to be in.

Steve: You have to love the resilance of this young kid.

Inside the ring, Radiant whips Fox off the ropes and connects with a hurricanrana on Fox. Radiant then runs off the ropes, and comes at Fox connecting with a rolling thunder. Radiant goes for the pin on Fox.......1..........2....Fox barely gets his shoulder up before the count of three.

Phil: Radiant is stilling battling hard as he is using his lightning quick ability to get the best of Fox.

Steve: If he keeps this up, he should have no problem retaining his title.

Radiant then picks up Fox and tosses him to the outside crashing beside the barriers below. Radiant then goes after Fox and the ref begins his count......1........2.....Radiant picks up Fox and looks to drop him on top of the barrier, but Fox wiggles out of it and throws Radiant over the barrier. Radiant falls to the outside into the crowd...........3.......4.......Fox hops over the barrier as Radiant is slowly getting up. Fans try to get closer, but the security won't let them........5......6....Fox is then hit with a beer cup by a fan and he looks out into the crowd for that person, but Radiant knocks him down from behind......7.......8.....Radiant then picks up Fox and both men begin to battle into the crowd.........9.......

Steve: Hey guys! You're going the wrong way!

Phil: The ring is over here! Get back into the ring!

Steve: It's too late Phil. Both men have been counted out.

.....10! The bell sounds for the double countount, but Fox and Radiant are stilling battling. They are now on the side of the stage where all the sound equipment and crew are. Fox then tosses Radiant into an area of water coolers and boxes and they fall down on top of Radiant. Fox then goes over to the mess and looks for Radiant, but instead he finds himself knocked in the head with a water cooler thrown by Radiant.

Phil: This isn't a wrestling match anymore Steve. It is a flat out brawl.

Steve: These men are going to be fighting all night. I don't see no signs of stopping.

Radiant then grabs Fox and carries him into the backstage locker room area. They continue to exchange blows and Fox pushes Radiant into a door and they fall inside an empty locker room. Fox runs at Radiant, but he ducks and Fox flips over a couch behind Radiant. Fox is up, and Radiant leaps over the coach and connects with a flying clothesline knocking Fox down.

Steve: What a move by Radiant!

Phil: He just leaped over that couch and knocked Fox down.

Both men slowly get up after that collision, and Fox grabs Radiant by the head and throws him through the curtain wall sepearting the locker rooms. Fox goes into the room and we see it is the locker room for SFT wrestlers. We see guys like Goldeneye, Knife, Phantom all standing around talking. They then stop to watch the brawl between Fox and Radiant. Fox picks up Radiant and looks to powerbomb him through a table, but Fox is grabbed by about three SFT referees.

Phil: BOOOOOO!

Steve: Just when things were heating up, the refs come and break it up.

Radiant gets up and then runs at Fox knocking him down with all the referees. Radiant goes to attack Fox again, but another swarm of refs come in and grab Radiant and restrain him. They then take Radiant out of the locker room while Fox is being held back by another ref.

Phil: I guess that ends things between Fox and Radiant.

Steve: Maybe ends things for the night Phil. I don't think this one is over.

Phil: Well Steve, this fued may not be over, but our time here is over.

Steve: Yeah it is time for us to go.

Winner: Draw via Double Countout; Radiant retains US Title

Steve and Phil get up off their chairs as Randy and John come down the ramp and assume their positions at the booth.

RW: That was one helluva first half of Southern Scorcher.

JC: We seen some great fights and close clears so far.

RW: And there is still more to come John. We will have the World Title on the line, along with Shadow veruses Glenn Owen.

JC: But, our next match is for the Hardcore Title!

Backstage

The scene fades backstage to Candy Peaks, who is about to ask Vicious a couple questions.

Candy Peaks: I am here again. But this time with Hardcore Champion Vicious. Vicious, you defend tonight against Stephen Lee and KC Kirk Canyon. First of all, do you worry whether or not Stephen Lee's partner Zuez will try to interfere in his behalf?

Vicious: Lets just say Im prepared for anything that might happen, I have waited a long time for this and I damn sure am not gonna be stopped by some low life named Zuez. So answer to that is no Im not worried one bit.

Candy Peaks: You and Kirk Canyon have had an on going fued that seems to die down, but then kicks right back up. It dates to when you were part of The System. How do you feel about Kirk? Any special plans for him in this match?

Vicious: How do i feel about Kirk how the hell do you think I feel about him. I trusted the man he was my leader and then he betrayed me by getting his ass fired why was he fired he no showed matches the guy had alot going for him he has talent I give him that but then he attacks me from behind many times made me look like a fool and no one does that to the Vicious One Vic Roberts. Special plan (wicked smile) nahhh Im just going in there and do what i have to do!!!

Candy Peaks: Well then, good luck out there.

Vicious: Thanks, but luck has nothing to do with it Candy. Im the hardcore champ and I will be that champion no matter what, until the day I give it up.

Vicious walks off as the scene fades back to ring side.

 

Match Number Six
Stephen Lee vs. KC Kirk Canyon vs. Vicious
SFT Hardcore Championship Match

"Attitude" by Metallica erupts through the arena, on the Strikeatron we see the words its all about ATTITUDE!!! and we then hear the words You want Attitude I got it, you want intensity, I got it and Im coming to kick some ASS. Then we see Vicious walking down that aisle and stepping in over the top rope and then he smiles and says Are you READY??? As the fans go crazy, Vicious unstraps his Hardcore title and lets it drop.

He drops to his knees and then slides out of the ring. He starts rummaging under the ring and starts tossing trash cans and lids and fire extinguishers into the ring. Suddenly he looks up on stage as he sees Stephen Lee get thrown the curtains. Vicious looks up at confusion and then suddenly "Trucker Theme" Kid Rock hits the P.A. and Kirk Canyon walks out with a sadistic look on his face. Pounces onto Stephen Lee and continues the assault.

Vicious tosses down the trash can lid he had in hand and starts running up the ramp. Suddenly he is met up by Kirk Canyon half way and they starts dueling it out. Canyon kicks Vicious in the gut and then reaches into his pants and pulls out brass knuckles and socks Vicious right in the forehead. Vicious drops to his knees and then falls onto his face.

RW: Wow Canyon just socked Vicious a good one.

JC: But why is he not pinning him?

RW: Look he's walking back up the ramp.

Kirk Canyon leaves the fallen Vicious and makes his way up the ramp and reaches Stephen Lee. He picks up the already bloody Lee and picks him up. He kicks him in the gut and puts him in a side headlock and starts walking down the ramp with him. They reach the ring and Canyon slides Lee in and then climbs in after him. He enters into the ring for the first time and starts pounding away on the head of Stephen. He whips him into the ropes and catches him with a sidewalk slam. He makes a quick pin.

1...

2...

3...Kick out!

JC: Canyon almost had that one.

RW: Vicious better wake his ass up.

Canyon stands up along with picking up Lee and puts him in a side headlock when suddenly Vicious slides into the ring with a fire extinguisher and sprays Canyon right in the face.

JC: That came out of nowhere.

RW: I believe Vicious just took the upperhand.

Back in the ring the cloud of smoke starts to settle as wee three bodies form back to that of humans again. We see Lee laying on the ground and Canyon stumbling around rubbing his eyes. Suddenly Vicious sprints at Canyon and nails him with a clothesline. He picks up Canyon directly after and whips him into the ropes, he kicks him in the gut and Fishermen DDTs him into the canvas. Just then Vicious slides out of the ring and starts rummaging his way underneath the ring tossing even more goodies to the collection already in the ring. Vicious gets a weird sadistic look on his face when he suddenly pulls out a box of thumb tacks. He slowly slides in with the box of tacks in hand. He starts spinning around with his hand in the air as he taunts the crowd. He then starts pouring all the tacks all over the mat. He walks over to Kirk and picks him up directly over the tacks. He sets him up for what looks like a powerbomb, but Canyon counters and back body drops him onto the tacks. Vicious's back bounces off the mat and gets impaled in the back with dozens of nails as he screams in pain.

JC: Ouch! Pain overload right there.

RW: Damn Canyon just put Vicious is a world of hurting there.

JC: Where the hell is Lee?

RW: I think he died.

Meanwhile back in the ring Vicious continues flipping around as he holds his blood streaming back in tremendous pain. Canyon picks up Vicious and sets him up for a DDT right over the tacks, but now Vicious grabs Canyons arm and twists it around into a hammerlock. Canyon tries to elbow his way out, but Vicious ducks and then kicks Canyon in the gut and follows up with a Double Arm DDT right into the tacks. Vicious makes a cover.

1...

2...

3...Stephen Lee breaks up the count!

JC: Theres that bastard.

RW: Damnit Vicious almost had this one.

JC: This match is pretty sad so far, begun not to long ago and now three of the three are already bloodied.

RW: Well this is a hardcore match.

Suddenly Lee picks up Canyon and starts pounding away on his forehead with vicious right hands widening the large wound on his forehead. Lee whips him into the ropes and locks on a sleeper. Canyon soon reverses it into a back suplex landing on only a few tacks this time.

JC: Oh Lee lucked out a bit there.

Lee bounces off the mat in pain. Lee covers his face and slowly rolls out of the ring. Meanwhile Canyon goes over to Vicious and grabs him by the hair and picks him up. He reaches down and picks up a trash can lid and smashes it right over across the temple of Vicious. Vicious still stands and Canyon cant believe it. One! Two! Three! Four! Five more shots right across the head to Vicious! Vicious touches his head and looks at his fingers to check for blood and sees nothing, but he collapses to the mat still. Canyon makes a cover.

1...

2...Vicious kicks out!

RW: Here we go this match is finally starting to get interesting.

JC: Weapons and quick pins, I love it!

Canyon stands up in anger and starts harassing the ref about a supposed three count he felt he had. Meanwhile while Canyon continues his blabbering to the ref Vicious slyly rolls over to the ropes and grabs a chair the was laying underneath the ropes. He grabs and then stands up. Vicious slowly creeps up behind Canyon and taps him on the shoulder. As Canyon turns around he somehow ducks under an attempted chair shot by Vicious. Vicious turns around and tries again but Canyon kicks him in the gut and picks it up himself and clocks him right on the head. Canyon acts as if he's going for a pin but suddenly cruel intentions flow through his mind as he places the chair on top of Vicious's face. Canyon walks over to the far turnbuckle and climbs to the top and leaps off and lands a hardcore leg drop right onto the chair and face of Vicious. Canyon rubs his under thigh in pain but makes the cover.

1...

2...

3...Kick out!!!

Canyon again places his hands on his head and cant believe the resilient Vicious kicked out. Canyon stands up and picks up a broom that has been innocently sitting on the ground. He sweeps all of the tacks out of the ring and the breaks it over the back of a kneeling Vicious who was trying to get up. Vicious screams in pain, but he merely turns his pain into anger and stands up and starts pounding away on Canyon with lefts and rights. Vicious backs Canyon into the ropes and whips him into the ropes on the other side and then boots him on the return. Canyon takes a few steps back from the boot but does not fall just yet. Vicious bends down and picks up a trash can and smashes it over Canyons head for the finishing touch and Canyon falls back and is out. Suddenly a broken and battered Stephen Lee slowly slides into the ring and enters the scene again. Vicious covers Canyon.

1...

2...

3...Stephen Lee breaks it up!

JC: Damn that Stephen Lee!

RW: Someone just finish that guy off.

Vicious stands up with a furious look on his face and stares deep into Lees eyes. Lee looks behind his back and then looks back at Vicious shaking in fear. Lee out of pure stupidity runs at Vicious. Vicious shakes his head and catches Lee and wraps his big hand right around Lees throat. He hooks his arm and then chokeslams him into the mat. Lee bounces off like a fish and starts twitching. Canyon is down and out and as well as Lee. Vicious stands alone as he suddenly drops to the mat and slides back out of the ring. He starts searching under the ring for more hardcore gear. He then pulls out a table, another table, another table and just then a ladder!

JC: Hell yeah things are getting good now!

RW: Business is about to pick up.

Vicious walks over to the barricade and starts conversing with a fan screaming, simply just getting the crowd all riled up. He walks back over to the three tables and the ladder. He picks up the ladder and slides it into the ring. He picks up a table and slides it in and then the other two. Vicious turns around and wastes valuable time and taunts the crowd some more. He then kicks it into gear and slides back into the ring. Vicious stands himself up and watches Canyon struggle to his feet and Lee simply.......just........lay there. Vicious runs over to Canyon and kicks in the stomach to keep him grounded and then walks back over to the tables. Vicious picks up one table and sets it up, he reaches down and picks up another and sets it up and then stacks it on top of the other, Vicious reaches back down yet again and picks up the final table and sets it up right aside the other two. Suddenly Vicious sticks his finger in the air and points over to the ladder which receives a huge pop from the fans. He picks up the ladder and stands it up and folds out the metal bars in between. Just then Vicious picks up the ladder and sets it up on the single table.

JC: I smell trouble.

RW: That aint no trouble you smell.

JC: Oh sick!

RW: Hehe.

In the ring Vicious stands alone in the middle simply staring at the tables and ladders and tries to think of what he's going to do with them. Without even knowing it being dazed and confused Vicious doesnt see that Stephen Lee has stood up. Lee runs at Vicious and clotheslines him with a cheap shot and brings him down to the ground. Then suddenly Kirk Canyon stands up and runs at Lee and clotheslines him. Canyon gets a crazed look in his eyes as he picks up Vicious and then Lee. He starts smiling at the crowd and receives nothing but boos in return. Suddenly Lee and Vicious both kick Canyon in the gut and set him up for a double suplex. Vicious hooks an arm and Lee hooks an arm. Vicious and Lee lift up Canyon half way, but suddenly Canyon forces himself down and reverse them both into a double suplex to the other two men!

JC: Wow that was unbelievable!

RW: I can do that.

Canyon stands up from his tremendous over-powerment over Vicious and Lee. He taunts the crowd again then hops up on the rackety shaky table. Kirk then starts climbing up the ladder, step by step by step by step by step by step by step until he reaches the top. Suddenly Stephen Lee kicks his right leg in a sweep motion and clips the table and its suddenly snaps in half and the ladder comes barreling down sending Kirk right through the two stacked tables!

JC: Holy shit!!!

RW: Now that was hardcore!

Canyon crashes through the two tables and is laid out unconsciously. Lee stands up and walks over to Canyon and hovers over his broken body and starts laughing right in the face of Canyon. Vicious stands up and walks over to Stephen Lee and stands behind him. Lee continues laughing at Canyon unaware of Vicious right behind him. Suddenly Vicious spins Lee around and connects with the Assault and Battery onto Lee. Vicious falls down and lays and arm over the chest of Lee.

3!!!!!!!

JC: It's over!! Vicious retains the title!

RW: What a match! Is Canyon dead?

Winner: Vicious via Pinfall

The ref helps Vicious to his feet as he hands him his Hardcore title. Vicious starts celebrating as his music starts up again. Suddenly Christian Cage runs down the ramp out from the back and slides into the ring.

JC: What the hell!?!?!?!?

RW: What is Cage doing out here?

Vicious and Cage stare at each other smiling for awhile. Suddenly Christian walks over to the fallen Lee and picks him up. Cage and Vicious look at each other and nod. Suddenly both men kick Lee in the gut and hit "Double Trouble" onto his limp and dead body. The awaiting EMTs standing outside the ring and grab Lee and pull him out quickly and away from Vicious and Cage. Cage leans over the ropes and watches as they take Lee away on a stretcher. Suddenly he turns around and smiles at Vicious and Vicious smiles back. They slap hands and walk over to Kirk Canyon.

JC: Whats going on here!?!?!?

RW: This isnt right Canyon is seriously injured!

Vicious and Cage pick up Canyon and whip him into the ropes, Vicious catches him with a tilt a whirl back breaker and holds onto the move. Cage climbs up top to the ropes and leaps off and leg drops Canyon or what they call "Xtreme Impact."

JC: This is insane.

A flock of security and EMTs rush into the ring and attend Canyon as "Unholy Alliance" by The Scorpions hits the P.A. system. Cage hops out of the ring starts walking up the ramp. Suddenly Vicious walks over to the center of the ring and lays his Hardcore belt down in the middle. He bends down over it and spits on it and leaves the ring.

RW: What the hell?

JC: Did he just vacant the title???

RW: He just successfully retained it and now he is giving it up?!!?!?

Vicious starts walking up the ramp with Cage and their hands raised.

Backstage

The scene cuts backstage. The fans watch on the StrikeTron. Glenn Owen and Anthony Jesus are standing next to each other. Candy Peaks comes into the picture.

Candy Peaks: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight has been one great night of action. But we must slow down for a couple minutes to announce something huge. Tonight, Strike Fantasy Towers inducts two new inducteed into the SFT Hall of Fame. As well as one new inductee into the SFW Hall of Fame, as Anthony Jesus will explain.

Jesus: Explain I shall. His name is Junior. He was one of the better EFW World Champions and he beat some of SFW's top talent. Of course, the last time he was seen he was being carted off to jail and as far as I know, thats where he still is today. Maybe this great news will get to him down the road some time.

The camera zooms in on Glenn Owen.

I once heard somewhere, and believe it or not I think it was Star Trek, but I herd a saying that has and will stay with me for the rest of my life. It goes something as follows: "Don't try to be a great man....... Just be a man....." That in my mind is the only measure that anyone ever needs to aspire to, and that is what I have always tried to do. Over my years and months in SFT, I have seen many great people come and go, and I like to consider so many of them my friends. I've had many matches with so many legends, and I believe to be regarded as one is the highest honor anyone can ever have from the moment they walk through the doors of SFT. I would like to thank everyone who has made my career possible, and may we all give the devil his due.

The camera pans to the left and Anthony Jesus comes into the picture.

Jesus: That was great Glenn. I saw a quote in a rap music video. "What is in the beginning will be in the end" What that means to me is, XCW and SFW were in the beginning and they will be in the end in the form of SFT. I have been around these federations for about 2 - 2 1/2 years. Maybe more. I have met so many people. I have made so many friends. I had alot of fun in XCW. I have ran and been in alot of federations. But through all the other federations, SFT has been the one that lasted. I, like Glenn, take this as a great honor. I have busted my ass, much like Shadow has, to earn this spot in the SFT Hall of Fame. I have stuck around when others decided they had better things to do. To them, I say this... FUCK YOU!! Strike Fantasy Towers is the place to be! This is SFT, the ONLY FEDERATION that matters, and I am damn proud to call this place.... Home.

Glenn Owen and Anthony Jesus shake hands and embrass for a moment. Candy peaks hands them each a small glass of champagne. They toast and drink the champagne. The scene then cuts back to ringside.

RW: Those are very nice words they said.

JC: They very much were so. But next up is Mad Dogg versus Incubus for the Intercontinental Title.

 

Match Number Seven
Mad Dogg vs. Incubus
SFT Intercontinental Championship Match

All About the Benjamins (Rock Remix 2) hits the BJCC Arena as Mad Dogg walks out from the back.

Harvey Vaughn: Ladies and Gentlemen…the following match is scheduled for one fall and is for the SFT Intercontinental Championship...first...making his way to the ring, from Boston, Mass, at 268lbs....Mad Dogg...

Mad Dogg is seen walking down to the ring in his typical green and black tights while people cheer...he climbs into the ring and plays to the crowd as he waits for Incubus...Suddenly the house lights dim as “Gone Away” by Cold is heard playing in the arena as everyone anticipates Incubus’ entrance into the arena…suddenly without warning a dark figure runs up behind Mad Dogg and clobbers him in the back. The lights come up and we see Incubus in the ring stomping away at Mad Dogg in the center of the ring. The bell sounds and the match is underway...

JC: Well Incubus starting this match off with a attack from behind on Mad Dogg...

RW: Where the hell did he come from anyway?

JC: I have no clue.

Incubus now has Mad Dogg in a corner and is holding his foot on Mad Dogg’s neck. Referee Chris Nevels has been assigned to this match and begins to count on the illegal choke. Incubus steps off and continues to stay on top of Mad Dogg firing forearms into Mad Dogg’s face as he’s down in the corner. Incubus throws eight total forearms at Mad Dogg and when he’s done Mad Dogg’s left eye is black and blue. Incubus lifts Mad Dogg to his feet and begins to rake Mad Dogg’s eyes a crossed the ropes. Mad Dogg holds his eyes as Incubus goes to whip Mad Dogg a crossed the ring, but Mad Dogg reverses it and reverse monkey flips Incubus on the bounce back. Mad Dogg gets up with momentum and as Incubus stands up clotheslines Incubus over the top rope.

RW: Mad Dogg back on the offensive after that rough start.

JC: Lets see if he stay on the offensive.

Mad Dogg starts to shout at the crowd as Incubus stands up outside the ring. Incubus slides back into the ring and Mad Dogg meets him with a boot to the chest as Incubus starts to stand. He then gets down on Incubus’ shoulders and begins firing forearms into Incubus’ face just Like Incubus did in the corner. Mad Dogg nails twelve forearms on the jaw of Incubus before lifting him up onto his feet and snap suplexing Incubus. Mad Dogg doesn’t let go of the suplex though as he lifts Incubus up again into a front face plat suplex. Mad Dogg covers Incubus and hooks his leg 1...2...kickout. Mad Dogg isn’t really surprised as he locks Incubus into a rear chin lock. He starts to pull back on Incubus as Incubus starts firing elbows into Mad Dogg’s gut. Finally Incubus stands up with Mad Dogg still holding him and Incubus reverses the hold with a drop forward neck crack (Stunner like move) as Mad Dogg’s chin bounces off of Incubus’ shoulder. Incubus gets up and so does Mad Dogg and Incubus swings at Mad Dogg with a right. Mad Dogg blocks the right and counters with a right of his own. Mad Dogg begins to fire right after right into the face of Incubus before finally bringing Incubus up against the ropes. Mad Dogg then steps back and runs at Incubus to which Incubus reverses into a back drop over the ropes. Mad Dogg hits the mat covered floor and rolls back first into the metal crowd barrier. Incubus slides out under the bottom rope and lifts Mad Dogg off the floor. He then whips Mad Dogg into the turnbuckle as Mad Dogg bounces head first off the metal pole with a sickening thud. Incubus slowly bends down and lifts Mad Dogg to his feet as Mad Dogg has a “glazed over” look in his eyes. Incubus tosses Mad Dogg into the ring and we notice a small cut over the black and blue left eye of Mad Dogg. Incubus immediately uses this to his advantage as he rakes Mad Dogg’s eyes twice, trying to open the cut further. Incubus then runs back into the ropes but as he charges at Mad Dogg, Mad Dogg drops down onto his back and Incubus runs over him. Mad Dogg then grabs Incubus’ legs, trips him up and rolls up onto Incubus’ back into a boston crab hold. Incubus is able to quickly get to the ropes and break the hold. As Incubus starts to get up Mad Dogg fires a left into Incubus’ jaw. He then sets up for a piledriver which is quickly reversed into a back drop by Incubus. But Mad Dogg gets right back up from the back drop and clotheslines Incubus as he turns around. Mad Dogg then starts to get the upper hand with two stomps followed by a running leg drop. Incubus rolls out of the ring to safety for a quick breather. He then jumps up onto the ring apron where Mad Dogg starts to fire lefts into Incubus’ face. But Incubus turns the tables by grabing Mad Dogg’s head and jumping off the apron in a hang man.

JC: Great back and forth action here.

RW: Yea just when you think that one guy has the advantage...the other just turns it around.

Incubus then slowly walks over to the ring steps and walks up them then onto the top rope. Incubus waits as Mad Dogg gets up and turns looking for Incubus and is meet with a flying clothesline. Incubus covers Mad Dogg 1...2...kick out. Incubus then walks around to Mad Dogg’s head and face stretches on Mad Dogg’s bad eye. He picks up Mad Dogg whose eye is now gushing with blood and piledrives Mad Dogg. Mad Dogg’s head bounces off the canvas as his neck is compressed on it. Incubus then walks over to one of the turnbuckles and begins to take of the protective padding. He does this and sets up a slingshot that sends Mad Dogg head first into the exposed metal ring. Mad Dogg’s face bounces off of the ring and we can now notice that along with the cut above his eye, Mad Dogg’s forehead has been busted open. Mad Dogg staggers back after bouncing off the turnbuckle and Incubus is read with a school boy roll up. The ref counts 1...2...kick out. Incubus can not believe it as he takes Mad Dogg into the corner. He sets Mad Dogg up in the corner and begins to fire forearms at Mad Dogg’s good eye. Suddenly though Mad Dogg spins Incubus around so now he is in the corner and begins to throw forearms at Incubus. He works Incubus in the corner alternating between kicks, punches, and forearms. Mad Dogg’s face is now half covered in blood and half swollen from the recent forearms. But he still goes at Incubus hip tossing him onto the canvas as he comes out of the corner.

RW: Mad Dogg’s showing some battle scars but it looks like he’s turning this one around.

JC: The question is will he be able to hold on to his current advantage.

Incubus rolls off the hip toss and is quickly taken down with a spear from Mad Dogg. Mad Dogg is now like a man possessed as he starts firing rapid fire rights into Incubus’ masked face. He takes Incubus by the hair and drags him over to the exposed turnbuckle and begins to beat Incubus’ face into it. Now we can see a light red drops fall from under Incubus’ mask as Mad Dogg continues to smash his face into the turnbuckle. Finally Mad Dogg stops and throws Incubus over the top rope and onto the arena floor. Incubus lays there motionless trying to regain his bearings after the fifteen plus times his face was smashed into the turnbuckle. Mad Dogg walks over to the ring steps and takes the top set. Because there needs to be definite winner, there is no disqualification. Mad Dogg takes the steps and lifts them up into the ring. Then he takes Incubus over to the bottom set and DDTs Incubus onto the bottom set. Mad Dogg now seems like he’s on a mission to destroy Incubus as he walks over to a time keeper and takes a chair from him. He lifts ths chair up and brings it down on Incubus’ head with a mighty thud. He then picks up the unconscious body of Incubus and tosses it into the ring. There he takes the ring steps and sets them on top of Incubus’ head. He then brings the chair up and smashes it down hard on the steps. He then rolls the steps off of Incubus’ and pins him 1...2...kick out at the last second!

JC: Close one for Mad Dogg…I thought for sure that this one was over after the chair/step shot.

RW: It’s almost as if Incubus isn’t human, kicking out of the beating he has taken.

Mad Dogg seems like he’s gonna explode after Incubus kicked out of the pin. He looks at the ref but keeps his calm as he goes back to the task at hand. He lifts Incubus’ semi-lifeless body and sets him up for the Dogg Byte but Incubus reverses it by throwing Mad Dogg into the ropes. On the bounce back Incubus connects with a clothsline. Incubus then falls back into the ropes as he reaches up into his mask. He pulls out his hand and it is covered in blood. Mad Dogg gets up as Incubus walks over. Incubus sets up Mad Dogg for a cradle piledriver and hits it. He covers Mad Dogg 1…2…kick out.

JC: Well it looks like Incubus has shifted the momentum of this match back his way.

RW: Yes but for how long is the question.

Incubus starts to lift Mad Dogg up but suddenly Mad Dogg takes Incubus down in the center of the ring! Mad Dogg quickly grabs Incubus’ left leg and looking down on him. Dogg spins around the left leg of Incubus as if setting up for the Figure 4. He then grabs Incubus’ right leg and brings it up underneath Incubus’ twisted left leg. Instead of falling back and locking on the Figure 4, Dogg steps over Incubus’ twisted left leg now with his own left leg, then flips him over counterclockwise into a Sharpshooter position.

JC: That’s the hold we saw Mad Dogg use in that one promo...here we’re gonna see how well it works in a SFT ring...

Incubus fights the urge to tap, as the blood continues to drip from underneath his mask. On the ring we see the red spot growing as Mad Dogg starts to scream. His own blood dripping down his body and collecting in a pool in the center of the ring. Incubus slowly starts to crawl towards the ropes as Mad Dogg pulls him back into the center of the ring. Incubus once again starts to pull himself towards the ropes, and again Mad Dogg pulls Incubus back out into the center of the ring. Mad Dogg tries to tighten the hold as one last time Incubus slides towards the ropes. Again Mad Dogg brings him back into the center of the ring. Incubus is too weak now to try for the ropes again, but continues to try to keep from tapping. It’s now a race to see who can hold on longer. Incubus’ blood is now a huge dark crimson puddle in the center of the ring and each drop just adds to it. Mad Dogg’s bleeding continues about as fast as Incubus’. Both men show signs of fatigue as the blood drains from them. The ref continues to ask Incubus if he taps out but Incubus continues to fight his temptation to tap out to the pain. Mad Dogg’s grip loosens with every drop of blood that hits the mat. Incubus also is fading as the ref continues to ask if he taps. Incubus raises his body and every ounce of his strength and manages to somehow crawl to the ropes as Mad Dogg has a look of unbelief, Incubus makes it to the ropes and passes out, the ref makes Dogg break the hold. Mad Dogg quickly turns around and nails Incubus, but no response at all from Incubus. Mad Dogg takes his arm off the ropes and slowly covers. 1.2..3!

JC: We have a new I.C. Champion! Mad Dogg!

RW: What a match...Incubus tried as hard as he could. But in the end Mad Dogg was too much and Incubus body just could not go any further, hell of a feat of strength though by Incubus, Im still in awe of what he did.

Winner: Mad Dogg via Pinfall

Backstage

We go backstage. The camera is walking down the hall and takes a turn. Kevin and Rico Smith are talking. The camera over hears them talking.

Kevin: Come on Rico. What do you got to lose man? You know Connor. You know Mason. You know Aj Nin Red Rum. And you know me. Come on Rico. Join EOR.

Rico Smith thinks about it long and hard before he finally answers.

Rico Smith: Ok sure. What the hell do I got to lose?

Kevin: Not a damn thing!

Kevin smiles and so does Rico Smith as the scene fades to ringside.

 

Match Number Eight
Shadow vs. Glenn Owen
Scaffold Match

RW: Alright John, this is what could be the culmination of a feud thats been going on for a long time, Chaos vs. Order. But more importantly its friend vs. friend, in a match to end all matches.

JC: But its sooo confusing...I don't know who's on what side anymore!

RW: That doesn't matter! What does matter is that Shadow is going to fight Glenn Owen...on that...

Randy points up above the ring. The camera follows and looks at a small scaffold 40 feet above the ring.

JC: Oooooh....that's high up...

RW: And someone WILL drop off that thing, either Shadow or Glenn, but its the rules of the match, which makes it one of the more brutal matches ever created.

JC: So lets not hold back anymore! Lets start this puppy!

RW: No announcers?

JC: No nothing, they are entering the ring, getting on that scaffold and duking it out till the end.

Glenn comes out, to The Boys are Back In Town, wearing jeans and a black t-shirt. He walks slowly to the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd. He walks down the ramp staring only at the scaffold above. Technicians run to the ring as he gets near the apron and they bring a tall extendable ladder with them. They bring it up all the way to the scaffold and rest it there. Glenn makes the climb to the top, taking a couple minutes to get up. He gets to the top and steps to the far side of the narrow scaffold.

RW: This guy is pumped for the match, this is Shadow vs. Owen II, and its going to be really...really...brutal.

JC: And here comes the man....

Shadow steps out wearing Black and Green face paint, a fallen angels t-shirt and dark pants, Shoots and Ladders by Korn is playing. He is helped by his cane as he walks down the ramp, the technicians hold the ladder waiting for him at the base of the ramp.

RW: This match is going to be a lot tougher for Shadow because of that bum leg.

JC: It will be a feat just to get up that ladder!

RW: But Shadow gets in the zone when he fights, his leg wont be a big factor once his motor gets going.

Shadow makes it to the base of the ramp and drops his cane. He takes his time climbing the ladder one step at a time, his eyes not leaving Glenn. He finally reaches the top and the ladder is pulled away. The two stare at each other from either side of the scaffold.

JC: You can cut the intensity with a knife Randy...

RW: Intensity isnt tangible though...

JC: Just stop there...

They stand still for a minute and the bell sounds. As soon as it rings the two lunge at each other. Owen lands a hard right sending Shadow back a step. Shadow retaliates with a hard left sending Glenn back a step. The two trade devestating punches, back forth, left, right, Shadow, Glenn. Owen stops a Shadow left and gives him a right, before Shadow has a chance to recover, Glenn lays in with another hard one, another, and another. Shadow reels back from the blows till he's at the edge of the scaffold. He struggles to keep his balance, waving his arms frantically.

RW: It could end right now!

JC: Good god! What a fall it would be! Shadow takes a step forward and regains his composure. Glenn goes after him but Shadow lowers his shoulder and spears Glenn to the ground, rattling the scaffold all over. He mounts Owen and lays in hard right and left combinations. Glenn grabs shadows waist with his legs and twists around so he's on top. He begins to dig in with punches of his own to Shadow's face. Shadow grabs Owen's head and head butts him, paint streaks off his face and onto Glenn's. Owen is forced back onto his ass. Shadow gets up and with his good leg gives a boot to the face to the sitting Glenn. Glenn ducks it just in time and stands up. Shadow steps back and gives a missile dropkick to Owen. He flies back and falls off the scaffold.

RW: HOLY SHIT! HE FELL OFF!

JC: But....wait...

The camera switches showing Glenn holding onto the scaffold by his fingers. Shadow looks in shock as he thinks he's defeated Owen. He looks down to the ring with curiosity, seeing Owen not there. Owen slowly pulls himself up, his arms bulging with the effort. He gets onto the scaffold and stands up. He wipes the sweat off his brow and tells Shadow to bring it, waving him to come. The two meet in the middle of the scaffold and trade punches some more.

RW: Some hard, hard, hard punches by these wrestlers

JC: They aren't wrestlers...they are more like Gladiators.

RW: Fighting to the death no less.

Shadow blocks Glenn's punches and kicks him in the gut. He grabs his head and gives a snap DDT, shaking the scaffold once again.

JC: That wood has no give what so ever on the base of the scaffold.

RW: As shown by Owen's bleeding from the forehead!

Owen gets on his knees and wipes his brow again, this time blood stains his face. He looks enraged at Shadow and lunges at him, taking him down with a double leg takedown. Shadow telegraphs it and flings Glenn over his head. Glenn flies off the scaffold but Shadow has his hand.

JC: IF SHADOW LETS GO! GLENN IS GONE!

RW: JUST END IT SHADOW! LET HIM FALL!

Glenn struggles, pulling on Shadow's arm, they are both straining pretty hard. The weight of Glenn pulls Shadow ever further to the edge, but Shadow's grip is slipping.

Shadow: Dammit Glenn, I can't hold you much longer! Climb up now.

Glenn: I know you cant old friend...I know...

Glenn becomes calm and looks at Shadow. Shadow is straining to pull Owen up, but its a losing battle.

JC: He's almost gone!

RW: Hang on!

Shadow's hanging by his waist, holding Glenn by his fingertips. They look at each other for a moment before Glenn lets go. Shadow looks with wide eyes as he loses his balance and falls with him. Glenn lands first to a sickening thud, Shadow right next to him, landing second. The bell sounds, and the crowd is quiet.

Both men lie next to each other not moving.

We see medics running to the ring to assist both men.

RW: I think technically Shadow won since Owen hit the floor first, but in the I think they both lost.

JC: I agree I dont see any real winner tonight, just to old friends hurting on the floor passed out next to each other.

Shadow and Owen get carried away on stretchers to a silent crowd.

Winner: Shadow

Backstage

We go backstage and a camera is at the office door of Owner Anthony Jesus. The door opens... out walks Cass... followed by Mike Hawk... followed by Ace... followed by Anthony Jesus. They all stand next to each other. Candy Peaks arrives on the scene.

Candy Peaks: Mr. Jesus, earlier in the show, you said you had business to talk about with Ace. Everybody is wondering, what is that business.

Candy Peaks holds the mic for Anthony Jesus to talk.

Jesus: Well Candy, I know everybody is wondering and has been wondering since I brought Ace and Cass into my office. Mike, the contract please.

Mike Hawk hands Anthony Jesus a contract. Anthony Jesus holds it up and the camera zooms in.

Jesus: What I hold in my hand is a contract. A brand new contract for my main man Ace here. From this point on, Ace will be an on air talent.

Candy Peaks: But he quit a couple hours ago.

Jesus: See Candy, you jumped the gun. You didn't let me finish. What I was about to say is.... Ace will be an on air talent as Strike Fantasy Towers' NEW COMMISSIONER!! Jesus looks at Ace. They shake hands and smile.

Jesus: Welcome BACK... to SFT Commissioner Ace.

Ace: It is good to be back.

Jesus and Ace continue shaking hands as the scene fades back to ring side.

JC: We have a new Commssioner in the form of the former SFT Television Champion, Ace.

RW: Anthony Jesus just showed how smart of an Owner he truly is.. Ok folks I think it may be time for the main e....

JC: What the hell is this?

The lights dim down and the crowd falls silent. Several seconds later, 'Never Gonna Stop Me' by Rob Zombie blares over the PA system and the crowd sparks up a little, at this mysterious event in the schedule. As the chorus 'NEVER GONNA STOP ME, NEVER GONNA STOP...' begins to play, silver pyros spray out, lighting up the entrance way. A moment later, two men stroll out.

The two men stand at the top of the ramp as the pyros die down and the lights return to normal. They stand at the top of the ramp, posing and showing off. They are both tall and look to have a good physique. One has short, black hair spiked up and a goatee and the other has short brown hair. One has a black t-shirt with his face and the words 'All Fucking That!' on and the other has a t-shirt with a large 'X' on it. They wander down to the ring and climb in. They circle the ring looking out to the crowd, who have stopped cheering and have begun to die down again. They both ask for a mic.

???: You're probably wondering, just who the hell we are.... So first off, I'm Prodigy and this is my good friend and Tag Team partner, Mister X.

Mister X: None of you now us right now, but over the next few weeks you'll get to know us very, very well indeed. Because we're here to make our mark on this fed.

Prodigy: We are here because Shadow recruited us from the UCF, because he believed we were the best out there. And that is all too true. He recruited us because he believes we can take this fed to the top, go to the top ourselves and to bring in some competition for you Jackoffs in the back.

Mister X: We made the career moves for the better of our careers. We came here to do what we do best. And that's kicking ass & winning gold. Lots, of gold.

Prodigy: After all, I am 'All Fucking That!'

Mister X: And I am THE 'Mr X Rated'

They stop and look at the crowd who are giving out mixed reactions....

Mister X: And together we are, 'The Men With ALL The Talent'

Prodigy: And we can do anything we want...

Mister X: Why? Because we can!

Prodigy: So all you cock jockeys in the back had better watch your backs...

Mister X: Because 'The Xtremists' have come to SFT and we are ready for anything that you chumps can throw at us....

Prodigy: And we won't back down from the fight until we have accomplished what we set out to do....

With that they throw the mics back to the ring assistants and climb out of the ring. They wander back up the ramp and stand at the top. They turn around and look out to the crowd. They slowly lift their arms into the air as silver pyros shoot up behind them. Once the pyros have stopped, they turn and vanish into the back, leaving the crowd in mixed reactions.... some cheering slightly, some booing while others don't know what to do.

Who are these two men? Why did Shadow recruit them? What will they be doing in SFT? And can they do what they said they would do? One thing is for sure, they sound ready to take on SFT....

 

Match Number Nine
Aj Nin Red Rum vs. Black
SFT World Heavyweight Championship Escapement Match

RW: Before the main event begins, we’re going to show you some highlights that brought Aj Nin Red Rum and Black together in tonight’s Escapement match.

We go to the highlight video package…… Vice President Icon announces #1 Contender Tournament. On War, First Round Tournament Match-Incubus versus Aj Nin Red Rum. Aj Nin Red Rum rolls up a wobbly Incubus and gets the win by holding the tights. The following Titans, Damien Sparks defends World Heavyweight Title against Black. Black hits a DDT off the top rope on Damien Sparks. As the ten count ensues from the referee, Black drapes in arm over Damien Sparks and wins the match and the World Heavyweight Title. Next night on War, in a second round Tournament match, Aj Nin Red Rum versus Fox in a Boiler Room Brawl. A huge brawl ensues, but meanwhile Aj Nin Red Rum and Fox still battle. Fox grabs his eyes in pain and staggers towards the west corridor. Aj ceases the opportunity to walk past him and head to the door. Fox shakes his head to try and get the burning feeling out of his eyes, and he grabs Aj by the shirt and begins to pull him back. Suddenly a golden light flashes through the air and Fox drops to the ground. The camera spins around to see Kevin holding the chain that was through the door, the golden padlock at the end of it. Kevin steps to the side. Aj Nin Red Rum steps through the door way and collapses on the ground. Shortly there after, Vice President Icon announces that Aj Nin Red Rum and Kyle Murphy will do battle on a special Sunday Breakdown, in a Last Man Standing match. Aj Nin Red Rum delivers a Dead Weight and then Kevin makes the 10 count. Aj Nin Red Rum wins and moves on to Southern Scorcher to face Black.

JC: And that brings us to tonight. Aj Nin Red Rum versus Black in the very first Escapement match.

RW: The very first indeed. This match has a bit of a Boiler Room Brawl in it as well as some Last Man Standing.

JC: Randy, this match is so unique. There are no rules. Anything goes! The match will be held at the empty, besides a ring & a couple cameras & some weapons, Mobile Civic Center.

RW: The match begins in the ring, that’s in the dead center of the Mobile Civic Center. The way to win is by battling your opponent and escaping the arena. The fans here at the BJCC Arena will watch the match on the StrikeTron.

JC: This match promises to be a non stop thrill ride of pain and punishment. So lets not waste any more time.

Harvey Vaughn stands in the middle of the ring in the BJCC Arena. The camera zooms in to the StrikeTron. The scene fades out and then in to an empty Mobile Civic Center. Harvey Vaughn begins the introductions.

Harvey Vaughn: Have you liked Southern Scorcher so far?!?

The crowd blows the roof off of the BJCC Arena!!

Harvey Vaughn: Yeah!! Well its about to get even better. Why? Because its mmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaain event time!!

Main in the Box by Alice in Chains begins to play from the speakers. Aj Nin Red Rum begins to make his walk down to the ring. It feels a little weird for him not seeing thousands of screaming fans yelling.

Harvey Vaughn: Making his way to the ring at this time…. He stands 6 feet even and weighs 218lbs… hailing from Ozone Park, New York… he is a member of Evil Over Rule… he is AJ NIN RED RUMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!

Aj Nin Red Rum enters the ring in the Mobile Civic Center. Man in the Box cuts off and a solo drum beat echoes three times and then fades into Black Clouds by Papa Roach. Black walks to the ring.

Harvey Vaughn: And your SFT World Heavyweight Champion….. He stands 6’ 3” and weighs in at 226lbs…. Hailing from Detroit Rock City, Michigan…. He is a Fallen Angel member….. he is BBBBBBBBBBBBLLLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!

Black slowly walks up the steel steps. In the BJCC Arena, his manager Adriana Jazmin walks down to the ring. Before entering the ring, she goes under the ring and pulls out a chair. She slides it in the ring and then enters the ring herself. She sets up the chair and sits down. Black enters the ring and he and Aj Nin Red Rum stare at each other. A camera man yells at them.

Camera Man: Start Anytime!!

Black and Aj Nin Red Rum continue to stare.

RW: Looks like there ready to fight. Looks like this crowd is pumped up!!

JC: Possibly the greatest match in SFT history is about to begin.

All of a sudden, a scratching noise is heard throughout the BJCC Arena. The crowd is silent.... The lights go out....

JC: Oh what the hell? Come on guys...this is a pay per view, we're live, you cant fix this one....

RW: God, I thought you had problems...look at the bullshit going on here....Well fans, we're sorry about the technical difficulties....

A large blast of blue pyro shoots up towards the rafters followed by complete darkness. From no where "The Way You Like It" by Adema blasts over the speakers....

JC: It cant be...he's gone....

RW: I haven’t even seen him anywhere near Alabama...how the hell could he be here now?

The music softens slightly as a voice is heard....

"No more games, no more crap. The Future of the SFT is here once again and this time, I'm taking it seriously. The Bullshit is done...prepare for the sweetest ride the SFT has ever seen....."

On the StrikeTron a montage of clips with a man wrestling in shadows, not quite visible but rather impressive, is shown. Abruptly it ends and all that remains on the screen is a date...."August 30th, 2002" followed by a few words..."This Time Around...I control the SFT's destiny"

All of a sudden the lights turn back on and there is no evidence of what just happened....

RW: Could it be true?

JC: We'll know for sure August 30th I guess.

The StrikeTron goes back live to the Mobile Civic Center. Black and Aj Nin Red Rum have already started fighting.

RW: Looks like they already got the fight started.

Aj Nin Red Rum punches Black once, twice, a third time. Black is up against the ropes and Aj Nin Red Rum whips him across the ring. Black hits the ropes and bounces off them. Black is running at Aj Nin Red Rum, who is running at Black. Aj Nin Red Rum runs his knee right into the gut of Black. Black does a somersault with a twist before he hits the mat. Aj Nin Red Rum immediately goes for a pin, but realizes when no referee counts that the match isn’t won via pinfall or submission.

JC: Looks like Aj Nin Red Rum forgot the rules of the Escapement match.

RW: That’s natural instinct. Your opponent is down, you go for a pin. That shows how long Aj Nin Red Rum has been in the game.

Aj Nin Red Rum gets up and kicks Black a couple times. Then he walks over to the ropes and jumps out to the floor. He lifts the draping up so he can look under the ring. He pulls out 2 trash cans, 2 trash can lids, and a fire extinguisher. He tosses the trash cans and the lids into the ring, almost hitting Black. He puts the fire extinguisher in the corner before rolling back in the ring. Aj Nin Red Rum picks up a trash can lid and then hits Black in the back. Black drops to a knee. Aj Nin Red Rum drops the trash can lid and picks up a trash can. He waits for Black to stand up and when Black does stand up, Aj Nin Red Rum dents the trash can with Black’s head. Black goes down to both knees.

JC: What will it take to put Black down?

RW: A lot more then a trash can.

Aj Nin Red Rum raises the trash can above his head and then smashes Black in the head. Black still doesn’t go down. Aj Nin Red Rum tosses the trash can down. He picks up Black and wraps his arms around his waist. Aj Nin Red Rum lifts up Black, but Black fights him. Aj Nin Red Rum tries to power Black up for an overhead belly to belly suplex, but Black puts his arms out and slaps his hands together, crushing Aj Nin Red Rum’s head.

RW: Reversal by Black.

Black runs off the ropes and runs at Aj Nin Red Rum. Aj Nin Red Rum grabs Black by the waist and throws him up in the air, but Black lands on Aj Nin Red Rum’s shoulders and hits a snap hurricanrana that sends Aj Nin Red Rum sliding out of the ring.

JC: Now that was a sweet move.

Black picks up the non-dented trash can. As Aj Nin Red Rum slowly gets up, Black whips the trash can at him.

RW: Black just engraved that trash can with Aj Nin Red Rum’s head!

JC: Aj Nin Red Rum went flying into the 3rd row.

Black goes out to the floor. He goes under the ring and pulls out a chair. Then he goes under the ring again and pulls out a ladder. He leans the ladder against the ring before picking up the chair. Black walks over to Aj Nin Red Rum, who is walking doubled over. Aj Nin Red Rum stand sup straight. Black swings the chair, but Aj Nin Red Rum ducks. Aj Nin Red Rum grabs Black and hits a belly to back suplex.

RW: Belly to back on the cement. You know that’s gotta hurt.

JC: Normal men it might, but not Black.

Black gets to his feet slowly. Aj Nin Red Rum grabs him by the back of the head. Aj Nin Red Rum runs Black right into the ladder. Black hits the ladder with a lot of impact, so much impact that he goes flying backward and then the ladder falls over and on top of him.

RW: Fucking ladder fell over. Ha Ha!

JC: Don’t laugh jackass! It aint funny.

RW: Looked funny from where im sitting.

Aj Nin Red Rum picks up the ladder and then slams it down on Black’s chest. Aj Nin Red Rum rolls the ladder off of Black. Aj Nin Red Rum brings Black up to his feet. Aj Nin Red Rum hits a suplex on Black on the cement. Black has his hand on his back and rolls on the cement in pain. Aj Nin Red Rum walks over to the ring and goes under the ring.

Aj Nin Red Rum starts to bring the chair down on Black’s back, but Black does a quick leg sweep sending Aj Nin Red Rum to the floor.

JC: Quick thinking from Black.

RW: Saved himself a chair shot to the back.

Black and Aj Nin Red Rum lay on the floor next to each other for a couple seconds before Black and Aj Nin Red Rum start to get up to there feet. Both of them are on there feet. Aj Nin Red Rum throws a punch that connects. Black throws a punch that connects. Aj Nin Red Rum with a right hand. Black with a right hand. Aj Nin Red Rum with another right hand.

JC: Knock out blow with the Arabian face buster!!

RW: Straight up Sabu style!

Black grabs the top rope and drops down to the mat and rolls out of the ring. Black goes under the ring, body and all. He is under the ring for more then normal time.

RW: What is he doing under there?

JC: Your guess is as good as mine Randy.

Black is still under the ring.

RW: He has been under the ring for over a minute now. John, go find out what the hell he is doing.

JC: Helloooooo! Hey, el stupido! They are in Mobile Civic Center in Mobile, Alabama. We are in the BJCC Arena in Birmingham, Alabama.

RW: What’s your point?

JC: There are a lot of miles between us and them you jackass!!

RW: Oh yeah! Forgot they are in a completely different city and arena. Im not use to having matches in one city and having to call them from another city.

JC: Well your still a jackass!

RW: I’ll have to agree with you right now. But any other time, im definitely not a jackass.

JC: Oh really? You want to take a vote. I bet a hundred buck-a-roonies that everyone will say you’re a jackass.

RW: Bullshit!! We aren’t having no damn poll! Hey look, Black has come out from under the ring.

JC: Changing the subject, Randy?

RW: No! Doing my job, John.

Black comes out from under the ring. But he has brought with him a shit load of stuff. Ranging from a table to chairs to trash cans to street signs. Black brings all that and more out. Black dumps everything off the table. He slides 4 chairs into the ring. Then he flips up the table and pulls out the legs. Then Black flips up the table so its standing up. Black then slides in the ring. Aj Nin Red Rum is now getting up using the ropes. When Aj Nin Red Rum turns around, Black superkicks him. Aj Nin Red Rum goes back down to the mat. Black walks over to the chairs and picks one up. He unfolds it and sets it down. Black does the same to the other 3 chairs. He sets them up next to each other. 2 by 2. Then he walks over to and picks up Aj Nin Red Rum off the mat. Black lays Aj Nin Red Rum across the chairs. Black runs off the ropes, does a front roll, springs up and lands back first on top of Aj Nin Red Rum and the chairs.

JC: Oh shit!! Rolling Thunder!!

RW: On the chairs!! That was nasty!!

JC: Black has got to be one of the sickest wrestlers alive. Look at Aj Nin Red Rum, the man is broken.

RW: He has elevated his sickness to a whole new level.

JC: Adriana is happy with that sickness.

RW: Look at Black on your monitor. He is happy more then anybody else.

JC: The man loves to bring the chaos.

Black is rolling around on the mat in pain and smiling. Aj Nin Red Rum is just in some major pain. The type of pain close to when an NFL punter kicks a man in the junk. Black and Aj Nin Red Rum both are still in a lot of pain. Black has back pain. Aj Nin Red Rum has gut and back pain. Black is sitting in the corner. He uses the ropes to slowly bring himself to his feet. Black walks over to Aj Nin Red Rum. He grabs Aj Nin Red Rum and puts him throat first on the middle rope. Black hobbles a little bit before running off the ropes and when he goes to drive his body into the back of Aj Nin Red Rum, Aj Nin Red Rum moves out of the way right before impact and Black goes crotch first into the rope.

RW: That’ll slow Black down.

JC: That’ll slow an elephant down.

Black bounces back and hits the mat, while holding on to the family jewels. (OOC- There are so many names for a mans testicles. lol) Black has his face in the mat and his ass up in the air while he cradles his crotch. Aj Nin Red Rum crawls over to a trash can lid. He picks it up as he uses the ropes to get to his feet. Aj Nin Red Rum looks over to Black, who is on one knee and has a hand on the middle rope. Black pulls himself up and when he turns toward Aj Nin Red Rum, Aj Nin Red Rum blasts him in the head with the trash can lid. Black staggers backward. Aj Nin Red Rum drops the trash can lid. He walks behind Black. Aj Nin Red Rum puts an arm around Black’s waist, drapes Black’s arm around his own neck, and lifts Black for a belly to back suplex, but instead ends up hitting a powerbomb.

RW: That was some innovation.

JC: That’s the style of Aj Nin Red Rum. He likes to suplex like Tazz, but likes to put more impact like Chris Beniot.

Aj Nin Red Rum picks up a heavy breathing Black off the mat. Aj Nin Red Rum brings Black over to the ropes. Aj Nin Red Rum puts an arm around Black’s waist and drapes Black’s arm around his neck.

RW: Shit!!!

JC: Da Da Da DAAAAAAMMMMMNNNNN!!!!

RW: Black is all done now!!

Aj Nin Red Rum jumps out of the ring. He looks down at a motionless Black surrounded by a lot of broken table pieces. Aj Nin Red Rum then begins to walk up the steps to a hallway. The camera follows Aj Nin Red Rum. Aj Nin Red Rum walks through the hallway.

JC: Aj Nin Red Rum is trying to find his way out of the Mobile Civic Center. If he does it, he wins.

Aj Nin Red Rum continues to walk. He pasts a fenced area. He pasts a lot of rooms and locker rooms. He pasts a golf cart. Then he comes upon an office. Out of nowhere, Black runs up from behind and knocks Aj Nin Red Rum down.

JC: Looks like Black aint done yet.

Black whips Aj Nin Red Rum into a wall. Aj Nin Red Rum hits the wall and falls down to the floor. Black picks up Aj Nin Red Rum and gets right in his face. He trash talks Aj Nin Red Rum and then runs him and throws him right through the glass plate window of the office.

RW: Jesus Christ!! Black just threw Aj Nin Red Rum right through the glass!

The camera looks inside to see Aj Nin Red Rum laid out with a lot of broken glass all around him. Black then looks in and a devilish smirk comes across his face.

JC: Have you ever seen such a sight?

RW: Only in horror flicks and nightmares.

Black then continues the path that Aj Nin Red Rum had started. Black passes some locker rooms. He passes some other hallways, but doesn’t go down any of them. Black passes a second golf cart and then stops to read a sign that reads EXIT with an arrow pointing down the hall way. All of a sudden Aj Nin Red Rum comes speeding at Black in the first golf cart that was near the office. Black jumps out of the way just before Aj Nin Red Rum hits him. Aj Nin Red Rum tries to stop, but still hits the wall.

JC: Dude just hit the wall… in a golf cart.

RW: FOUR!!!!

JC: The golf cart doesn’t look to messed up, just a little dent.

Black gets up and Aj Nin Red Rum steps out of the golf cart. Aj Nin Red Rum and Black start to throws punches. Aj Nin Red Rum gets a knee in Black’s gut. Aj Nin Red Rum pulls the golf cart off the wall and gets in and a camera man jumps on the back. As he starts to drive away, Black jumps in the other golf cart. A camera man jumps on the back of that golf cart as well. Black and Aj Nin Red Rum both go speeding as fast they can down the hall. Aj Nin Red Rum is in front, but then Black takes the lead. They go back and forth for the lead.

RW: All of a sudden we’re watching Nascar racing.

JC: But with golf carts.

Randy and John laugh as the race continues. Black and Aj Nin Red Rum slow down when they see the double doors.

RW: There at the exit.

JC: This match is almost over with.

Black and Aj Nin Red Rum both come to a complete stop. From nowhwere we see a man come walking through the exit doors.

RW: John... John... JC: What? What?

RW: That looks a lot like somebody from our past.

JC: Yeah it does. It looks a lot like.... Just like....

RW: BLADE!!! What the hell is Blade doing there?

Blade runs right at Black. Blade clotheslines the shit out of Black!!

JC: What he is doing there and why is he attacking Black?!!

Blade starts kicking the shit out of Black. Blade picks up Black and slams him into a wall. Black falls on the carpeted floor and Blade just stares down at him.

AJ Nin Red Rum wastes no time worrying about Blade and Black and just runs for the doors.

RW: I can’t believe Blade just did that! What does he have against Black? He just cost Black the World Title.

RW: Its all over with now!

Aj Nin Red Rum steps outside of the Mobile Civic Center and a huge crowd of people are standing there. It is silent and then the crowd erupts!!!!! They scream and yell!!! Aj Nin Red Rum runs into the crowd and they lift him up in the air.

RW: Aj Nin Red Rum has won the Escapement match and the SFT World Heavyweight Championship!!

Winner: Aj Nin Red Rum via Escapement

JC: I knew he had it in him!

The scene cuts back to the BJCC Arena in Birmingham, Alabama.

RW: I can’t believe Blade just did that! What does he have against Black?

JC: I guess we’re going to have to wait and find out.

RW: I hope its on Titans.

 

Southern Scorcher Closing

JC: Well ladies and gentlemen, shows over. SFT presented Southern Scorcher to these hicks in Birmingham and it was definitely a successful pay per view.

RW: Yeah it was. See you all on Tit...

Randy stops mid-word. He listens to someone on his headset.

JC: What’s happening?

RW: I guess Shadow has decided to meet Jesus out in the parking lot.

JC: Is there a camera out there?

RW: Yes. Lets go to the parking lot.

The scene cuts to the parking lot of the BJCC Arena. The camera is following Shadow. He takes a turn by a car and he sees, standing in the middle of the parking lot, Anthony Jesus. Shadow walks out of the shadows.

Jesus: Glad you decided to show up Shadow.

Shadow: I don’t know who you think you are, but if you mess with me, you’re going to have trouble.

Jesus: Shadow, my dear boy, was that a threat?

Shadow: No, that was a promise.

Jesus: Ha Ha Ha Haaa!! Don’t you know you shouldn’t make promises you can’t keep.

Shadow: Oh, I can keep promises. Im warning you Anthony. You fuck with me and your going to end up like Owen did.

Jesus: You know what Shadow, I think im going to have to fuck with you.

Jesus starts walking toward Shadow. Shadow just stands there. Jesus approaches Shadow and gets right in his face. There stare into each others eyes.

Jesus: Shadow, I know it was you that had Myris run me down. I saw you in the shadows watching. You fucked with me and now I fuck with you.

They continue staring deep into each others eyes.

JC: Damn! The tension is thick enough to cut with a knife.

RW: For some reason I have a feeling that those two are about to get into something.

Shortly after Randy makes that comment, Jesus and Shadow start to throw punches at each other. Jesus starts rocking Shadow back, but is stopped when Fox runs in out of nowhere and hits Jesus in the back. Then Radiant runs in and attacks Fox. Then Rumpke runs in and starts fighting with Radiant. Then Incubus runs in. Mad Dogg joins in. Fireball and all of The Elite. The Foundation run in. The rest of the Fallen Angels jump in. Everybody that was on the PPV card, except Black and Aj Nin Red Rum, are now in the parking lot fighting.

JC: Another huge brawl between Order and Chaos!!

The camera focuses on Shadow who is standing on the hood of a Saturn and Jesus who is standing on the roof of his limousine. They yell stuff at each other. Then they just stare at each other as the brawl gets outrageous and the camera fades off….. to highlights of Southern Scorcher!
