Opening The show opens as "Chop Suey" by System of a Down begins to play. The Huntingdon Civic Center arena is jam packed, as we can see by the wide angles. The cameras go from the crowd to the elaborate stage, including the scaffold forty feet above the ramp. We go to Steve and Phil, who are at their usual announce table.
Phil: Well, folks, it's that time of the month again.
Steve: But this time, we are here to present the tribute show to the legendary Legion.
Phil: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Dark Days!
Pyro blasts from the stage and fireworks go off everywhere. Suddenly, the lights go dim as "Shoots and Ladders" by Korn plays. The fans cheer as Shadow slowly walks out onto the stage to a ten bell salute to Legion. Shadow cues for the music to go down and the lights to go up. There he stands with a microphone in his hand. Before he speaks, he looks out at the crowd and he smells the air.
Shadow: We are all here tonight to honor a man who very few truly knew. To most, Legion was just a wrestler. To me, he was a friend. Tonight, I will make my return to the ring when I seek vengeance against the dastardly SwitchBlade.
The fans give a mixed reaction to Switch's name, as they're not quite sure who to really cheer for.
Shadow: But before we get to that glorious main event, we have several other matches. We have a few titles matches. A few surprises. I would like to announce the first of those right now. You all might want to sit down for this one.
The cameras look out as the several thousands of fans do as Shadow says.
Shadow: Ever since Anthony Jesus left full ownership to yours truly, there have been thousands of fans speaking out that SFT wasn't going anywhere with just myself in charge. After a long time to think, I have decided to sell half of the company. Ladies and gentlemen... may I present to you... the new Co-Owner of Strike Fantasy Towers...
"P.I.M.P (remix)" by 50 Cent featuring Snoop Dogg begins to play and the fans look confused. Suddenly, sparks fly from the stage and out walks Nathan Gust. The fans go insane as the sixteen year old punk stands next to Shadow dressed in a fine suit. The new theme music dies down as Nathan takes the microphone from Shadow. Before speaking, the two shake hands and Shadow exits stage left. Nathan calms the fans down as his lifts the mic.
Nathan Gust: This is a great and very awkward moment for me. One year ago, I was barely a mid-carder. Now, I'm the Co-Owner of SFT. Back in early 2002, I was blacklisted here. Now I hold half of the executive power here in SFT. They say that your past follows you forever. If that were true, you would not see you standing before you as the new Co-Owner of SFT. It's no secret that Shadow and I bitterly hated each other not too long ago. Now you see us shaking hands and sharing a position of great importance. Well... Shadow and I still don't like each other... but that's what is going to make SFT a better place.
The fans seem confused.
Nathan Gust: Confused? Don't be. You see, if Shadow and I were the best of friends... SFT would go nowhere at all. We would agree on everything and nothing would shake up. But with a rebellious sixteen year old working side-by-side with Shadow... nobody knows for sure what I could change for the better. I'd like to make my first announcement. With my recent promotion, there is a very high place on the executive board that is left open. My first act as Co-Owner of Strike Fantasy Towers is to promote a very dedicated man to be the new President of SFT!
"Faint" by Linkin Park begins to play and the fans cheer as Erik Dean walks out onto the stage. He shakes hands with Nathan and takes the mic.
Erik Dean: I'd give a big long speech... but it would only bore me. I'm a bit overworked as it is... so I'm just going to say one thing. Thank you!
The theme of the new President plays again as he walks backstage.
Nathan Gust: Well then... I guess it's time for me to go. If you don't mind... I'm going to watch the show from a skybox just like Shadow will be doing.
"P.I.M.P (remix)" plays again and the new Co-Owner of SFT walks backstage.
Steve: I can't believe what we just saw! The man who restarted Xtreme Championship Wrestling - not once - but twice now shares the elite power of this company!
Phil: What a day it's been so far... and we haven't even had our first match! Match Number
One Match doesnt even start cause Rein Webb comes down and beats both King and Alexander. Winner: I guess Rein Webb lol The StrikeTron begins to blurt in and out.Phil: Damn! The show has just begun and already we're having technical problems. Steve: That's what we get for having a pay per view event in Huntingdon, West Virginia. Then a red spotlight comes on and shines up in the rafters. The spotlight shines on Big T who is standing up in the rafters watching the crowd and the ring. Phil : Looks like Big T is here and in the building. He must've caused the lights going out. Steve: Most likely. Then all of a sudden a big explosion scares and flames shooting up from the ramp scare the hell out of almost every member of the audience. Phil : With Big T in the building, everyone needs to watch him or herself. Who knows what he has planned tonight. We cut backstage and we enter the locker room of the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship; Damien Sparks. Boo’s fill the arena as his face is shown on the strike-tron. We zoom out and we can see that Damien Sparks is looking into the mirror. He seems pretty focused. He looks down to the floor, and looks back up into the mirror and… winks at himself? Damien: “Go get ‘em, handsome.” Damien then turns around, and leaves his locker room with somewhat of a commanding, yet sexy strut.
JC: What the hell was that all about? Match Number
Two
Steve: Well here we go Phil, a table elimination match and what better match to
give us some decent carnage. Winner: Paul Phillips Match Number
Three
Phil: Next up, Television Title match. Winner: AceSuper Backstage We find ourselves backstage once again focusing on the Number One
Contender.
He stands in front of the door to Brandi’s locker room. He goes to
knock –
but pauses for a second. He closes his eyes and proceeds to knock.
Brandi
opens the door and is looking very shocked to see her opponent for
tonight.
Brandi: “Damien? What are you doing here?”
Damien: “I had to see you.”
Brandi: “But Damien..”
Damien puts his finger over Brandi’s mouth and shakes his head.
Damien: “Shh… but nothing. Brandi, baby, you want a heart on the sleeve
speech.. Then here it is.
Damien takes Brandi’s hands, and looks into her eyes.
Damien: “This week has been possibly the hardest week of my life. You
are my
love, and believe it or not, having to wrestle you tonight, and
possibly
take your championship is going to be very hard for me tonight, and
before
we go out there and give it everything we’ve got tonight; I just want
to say
– what ever happens, win or lose, Brandi – You are my goddess, and I
love
you.
And with that Damien leans forward and passionately kiss our World
Heavyweight Champion, Brandi James. He pulls away and looks into her
eyes
once again.
Damien: “Goodluck, hun’.”
Damien walks away and Brandi is at a stand still. She is in shock as we
cut
back to the action at ringside.
RW: *Sniff* that… was beautiful!
Phil: Oh please; Damien is just playing mind games if you ask me. He is
obsessed with becoming the World Heavyweight Champion.
Steve: Is it possible that Damien actually does love Brandi?
Phil: Damien only loves himself, you saw him looking at himself in the
mirror.
Steve: If I looked as good as Damien – I’d to that too.
Phil: ANYWAY! Back to our action, folks we got a great match up coming
next
Match Number
Four
SC: It’s now time for the Lightweight Title match, and as I am hearing now,
its now down to three.
MR: Yeah, Necrophile is still out. Can that work, a three man elimination
match.
SC: I don’t know, but I guess we are about to find out.
Candy Peaks: The following match is an Elimination Match and is for the Strike
Fantasy Towers Lightweight Title. The rules are as follows. Three members will
be in the ring at one time. An Elimination is through Pinfall, Submission or
Knockout.
“Hiphopper” by Thomas Rusiak plays as Serious Steve walks to the ring with
Not Kabal while attempting to trash talk the crowd.
Candy Peaks: Introducing first. One half of The Unwanted and challenger,
ladies and gentlemen...SERIOUS STEVE.
After awhile he gives up and continues his walk as the crowd cheer him on
and “Hiphopper” fades out, “Children Of The Grave” by Black Sabbath starts up
as the crowd get on their feet searching the arena for Mike Zyabala. Finally,
the camera catches a corner and sees people waving their hands. It zooms in
and there is Mike Zyabala stealing a hot dog off of a fan.
Candy Peaks: And the second Challenger. From Buffalo, New York..MIKE ZYBALA.
As he walks down the stairs, he eats it. Finally he reaches the bottom and
climbs over the guard rail and slides into the ring, climbs the nearest
turnbuckle and starts taunting the crowd as they erupt in cheers.
The lights go out in the arena as the crowd wait in anticipation. Suddenly,
the sound of screaming is heard and blue lights begin to flicker. As soon as
the screaming stops, "Your Disease" by Saliva breaks out in the arena as the
crowd begins to boo. As the boo's increase, Clayton Walker walks out to greet
the crowd with the Lightweight Title over his Shoulder. As soon as Clayton
realizes they are booing, he flips them off and then walks down the ramp
looking strangely at the crowd.
Candy Peaks: And the Champion, from Toronto, Canada, Lightweight Champion…
CLAYTON WALKER.
Once at the bottom of the ramp, he then walks around the ring, still looking
at the crowd weirdly. Once he reaches the commentary box, he then gets up on
to the apron, and then looks to the crowd and shakes his head in disapproval
before climbing into the ring. With all three in the ring, Walker climbs off
of the turnbuckle and goes to the center of the ring and begins trash talking
both Steve and Zybala. As he then hands his Lightweight Title to Brooks, as
Brooks throws the Title out of the ring, he calls for the bell and instantly
Walker races out of the ring as Zybala and Steve look on. As Walker yells out
at both Zybala and Steve, Steve clicks and tries to superkick Zybala, but
catches his foot, spins him around. He then grabs around Steve’s waist and
lands a German Suplex, he keeps the bridge as he goes for a pin.
1..2..3
SC: Wow..that was quick.
MR: So within two minutes of the match, it is a singles match.
As we go back to the ring, Adam Brooks is telling Walker to get into the ring as Zybala kicks Steve out of the way. Once he does that, Walker then starts to make his way on to the ring apron. As he is about to climb into the ring, Zybala then makes a charge, as this causes Walker to step out of the ropes and have Brooks calm down Zybala. As Brooks does that, Walker then climbs into the ring and waits for Brooks.
SC: Ok, so here we go. Zybala and Walker now as the match might actually start.
MR: Well I actually see Walker doing the smart thing there. His Title is in jeopardy, what better way to keep it than to watch the action of two people fighting.
The two then gaze into each others eyes, as they go in to lock up. But before Walker makes his first step in, he backs off and tells Brooks that Zybala has something in his boots. This pisses off Zybala and the fans as Walker then turns his back expecting that Brooks will check Zybala’s boots, But Zybala just runs right past Brooks and immediately bulldogs Walker.
SC: Finally. I thought I had to wait until Canada actually did something right for the match to begin.
Both men get up immediately as Zybala then takes down Walker with a clothesline. Walker then gets back up again, as Zybala then once again clotheslines Walker. Walker then this time takes a bit longer to get back to his feet, and as he does, Zybala then looks for a Yakuza kick, but Walker ducks, waits for Zybala to turn around and then hits Zybala with an inside Crescent kick taking Zybala down. Walker then quickly does down as well and locks in a headlock, making sure that Zybala doesn’t go anywhere fast. But slowly, as Walker has the hold in, he starts moving Zybala’s arm until he eventually locks in Harsh Reality.
MR: He is planning to finish it early.
Suddenly, Zybala reaches out as far as he can, and gets to the ropes.
SC: Nope, Zybala was just to close.
Brooks then starts his five count as at the count of four, Walker let’s go and pushes the ref away while yelling at him about the match. Walker then gets up and meets Zybala who is up as well after using the ropes. Walker then sends Zybala across the ropes and once he is about to return, Walker springboards off of the ring ropes, and looks to hit with a calf kick, but Zybala ducks, bounces off of the ropes and rolls forward and lands a rolling thunder. Zybala then tries to pin Walker.
1..2..Kickout as Walker throws Zybala off of him, but this leads Zybala to land on his feet.
SC: Shit that was awesome.
MR: I have to learn how to do that.
As Walker then gets up, he doesn’t know Zybala is up, as Zybala runs past him, bounces off of the ropes and takes down Walker again with a neck breaker. Zybala looks for the pin again.
1..2..Shoulder up. Zybala then gets up, as he sees Walker just shaking his head.
SC: Walker doesn’t look happy.
MR: Well wouldn’t you when some guy is showing you up.
Zybala then brings Walker up to his feet and whips him across to the ropes. But when Walker returns, he leaps up and looks for a Head scissors, but then turns it into a DDT. As Zybala looks up to rafters, Walker then rolls his way out to apron where he gets up and looks to the crowd with a smirk. The crowd instantly boo him as Walker then flies off over the ropes and lands a frog splash on Zybala. He holds on and goes for the pin.
1..2..hand on the ropes as Zybala reaches out of desperation.
MR: So close there.
SC: Yeah, but “Wrestling’s Prodigy” or whatever calls himself, still didn’t get the pin.
As Walker then rolls off of Zybala and gets up as he then lays a few boots into Zybala before heading over the farthest turnbuckle. He then climbs it, and looks out to the crowd one more time before leaping off of it. As he looks to land a 450 Leg drop, all he catches is the mat. Walker instantly grabs his ass as Zybala is seen running at him and quickly drop kicks him down. Zybala then gets back up, heads over to the turnbuckle Walker was at and climbs it. He then looks down at Walker and smiles before leaping off, hitting a shooting star press. He still remains on Walker as he goes for the pin.
1..2..Kick out
SC: So close to a new Lightweight Champion. Walker looks to be out of it.
MR: Don’t count him out.
As Zybala once again rolls off of Walker, he gets straight back up and looks out to the crowd. As they wait for something, he then waves his arms signaling for the end as the crowd explode in cheers. He then picks up Walker and hooks him in a Vertebreaker, but somehow,Walker rolls out of it. Zybala then turns around only to be taken down with a Snapmare leading into a Michinoko driver. With Zybala still down, Walker quickly races up Zybala’s body and locks in Harsh Reality again.
MR: HARSH REALITY AGAIN.
SC: Please, reach the ropes, please.
As Zybala slowly tries to crawl his way over to the ropes, but he can’t get to it in time and Zybala taps out.
MR: Walker is still champ.
SC: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Winner: Clayton Walker by elimination Clayton Walker is walking up the ramp. He looks up at Big T for some reason. Big T is clapping slowly as he stares down at Clayton Walker.Phil: What does that clapping mean? Steve: I don't know. Big T has always liked Clayton Walker's in-ring ability. So maybe he is just clapping to show that he appreciates Clayton' talent. But I can't say for sure. Clayton Walker walks backstage as Big T leaves the rafters. Phil: Uh oh!! He's leaving the rafters. Put everyone on alert in the back, Big T is no longer in the rafters. Match Number
Five “Faint”by Linkin Park hits the PA with a boom, then Erik Dean steps our from the back with a Mic.
Erik Dean: Well, I am sorry to come out here like this, but I am here to let you all know that the match between me and Kanath will not take place, and that he is fired as of tonight. Such a shame. Enjoy the rest of the show
Dean then walks to the back
RW: Oh well on to our next match
Winner: No One JC: Hold on a second, I'm getting word backstage that Sean Lane has caught up with Chris Kanath.The cameras cut backstage to where some medical guys are trying to fix up Chris Kanath. Sean Lane is in the room trying to find out if Kanath is okay. Sean Lane: Chris man, you all right? What did Big T say to you? Chris Kanath: Besides blood pouring from my head, I'm okay. Big T had a warning for you man. He said to tell you that "the worse is yet to come for you and the ones you care for" and "you should watch your back because your allies and your friends might not be what they seem." Sean Lane: The ones I care for? …… Brandi!! I gotta find her!! Sean Lane runs out of the room quickly to search for Brandi. As he exits, Big T appears behind Kanath. Big T then starts pounding away on Kanath as cameras cut back to the ring. RW: Oh god, where is Brandi James? JC: This isn't good for Sean Lane. He needs to focus if he expects to wear the Intercontinental Title after tonight. Match Number
Six RW: Next match is Black taking on Johnny Legend in what should be a good match. JC: The winner of this match becomes number one contender for the SFT Intercontinental Championship. RW: A good reason for winning indeed. Well enough chit chat. Lets get to the action! (The camera cuts to Candy Peaks who is in the ring.) Candy Peaks: This is a singles match, and is scheduled for one fall. First making his way to the ring… (The lights dim, and "One" by Metallica starts playing loudly. pyros shoot off all around, and Black appears at the entrance way.) Candy Peaks: Hailing from Detroit, Michigan, and weighing in at 238 pounds…BLACK! (Black walks down to the ramp with a hail of boos. He ignores the crowd, and slides under the ring ropes. He leans on the ropes, and calmly waits for his opponent as his song dies down, and the lights come back.) Candy Peaks: And his opponent… ("You Know Your Right" by Nirvana plays over the speakers as fireworks go off; as the mist clears Johnny Legend is there with his arms in the air and the crowd cheers.) Candy Peaks: Hailing from Schenectady, NY, and weighing in at 256 pounds…JOHNNY LEGEND! (Johnny gives a couple fans high fives as he walks down to the ring. He climbs the steel steps, and steps into the ring. He turns away from Black, and taunts the crowd, but Black attacks Johnny from behind with a couple forearm shots to the head. The bell rings and the match begins. Black throws a couple more hard rights to the head of Johnny, and then whips him into the ropes. Johnny comes back, and is met with a fierce clothesline. He picks up Johnny, and scoop slams him down. He climbs the turnbuckle, and stands perched. Johnny gets up, and Black goes for a cross body block, but Johnny is able to catch him, and then slam him down to the ground in a matter of seconds.) RW: What strength by Johnny! JC: He'll just pull these moves out of nowhere. He's crazy I tell you…CRAZY! (Johnny picks Black back up, and whips him into the ropes. Black comes back, and Johnny back body drops him down. Black gets back up, but Johnny grabs him from behind and german suplexes him. The referee makes the count.) Referee: 1…2…kick out! (Johnny picks up Black, and drags him over to a turnbuckle. He gives him a few punches to the gut, and then flips him upside down for a tree of woe. Johnny walks away from Black, and then comes running back and hits a baseball slide right to the head of Black! Black falls to the mat motionless. Johnny picks up Black again, and places him on the turnbuckle again. He then lifts him up on the top, and joins him. It looks like he's going for a hurricarana, but somehow Black is able to grab Johnny, and powerbomb him off the top rope and to the mat. Black makes the cover and the referee makes the count.) Referee: 1…2…kick out! (Black gets up, and picks up Johnny. He punches him a few times, kicks him in the gut and hits him with a DDT. Black is back to his feet and grabs Legend and throws him to the outside, Black then waits for Legend to get back to his feet, then Black jumps onto the ropes and springs over and tries to nail a body splash but Legend rolls our of the way and Black hits the hard floor. JC: That has to hurt. RW: Just a little. Legend then gets back to his feet and picks Black up and sends him into the ringpost as Referee Tyson is counting and is up to 5 now. Legend then grabs Black and throws him back into the ring, Black then some how gets back to his feet as Legend slides into the ring, Black then hits Legend with a right and then Black hits a closeline, Black then sets Legend up for a piledriver and BAM! He connects. Black then goes for a cover.
1… JC: There you have it RW: Black is going on to face Lane. Black then celebrates as we fade to a promo for Titans. Winner: Black Backstage Ambassador Owen waits for the crowd to stand down before beginning to speak.
Glenn Owen: Once in a while, and it’s becoming more frequent these days, but once in a while you get the chance to whiteness a match beyond what you normally see, and I’m privileged to be here tonight about to witness a match between 2 true legends of the sport, and my best friends…. SwitchBlade, and Shadow…..
The crowd once again go nuts and Glenn waits a few moments for them to calm down.
Here at this ppv, we fight as hard as a can, but for a few of us there is another reason that makes this ppv so special, and that is of course the passing of another true legend of SFT, and that as we all know is a man called Joseph Black…. Aka Legion….
Now the crowd are going even more nuts than they were before, which is a very hard thing to do.
Myself, Shadow and SwitchBlade all had ties with Legion, and ties in a big way. To Shadow he was his right arm, his brother, his best friend in everyway, and I know Shadow so well, and he won’t mind me telling you all that his death has been a huge burden on him to this day. SwitchBalde, well, SwitchBlade was the man that helped send him to the grave, and I’m sure he deals with this in his own way.
As for me…. Well, I hated the son of a bitch. It was me and basically me alone who ran him down for so long and brought him back into this federation, and in turn, it was me in a way that brought him to his own death. Although this happened along time ago, to me it’s still remains fresh in my mind. In a way Legion was apart of me, as I know I was apart of him. Friends on the opposite sides. Warriors who needed each other in a way, and could understand the other person without even realizing. Many people loved Joseph, some people hated him, but without doubt he was one of our greatest. It is for this fact that I wanted to speak to you all tonight, because we must remember our past, and there is no bigger part of SFT history that Legion.
Shawn Walsh: You may want to come back later, bud, Brandi isn't...
"decent"
right now.
[Walsh closes the door in Lane's face. He then opens it back up and
reaches
in his pocket. He throws some sort of open packaging at Lane, hitting
him in
the chest, it falling to the floor.]
Shawn Walsh: And could you throw this away for me, buddy? Thanks.
[Before Lane can hit Walsh, Shawn slams the door in his face and locks
it.
Lane begins to pound on the door.]
Sean Lane: YOU SON OF A BITCH! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!
[You can hear Walsh yelling from inside.]
Shawn Walsh: No comprende!
[Lane throws his title against the wall and begins to kick the door for
a
few moments. The camera pans out to see Prophet approaching Lane,
weilding
his pike. Lane gets a furious look on his face and storms off. Prophet
begins to guard the door. The camera pans to the ground to zoom in on
what
Walsh threw at Lane; an empty pack of Trojan condoms. Scene fades.]
Match Number Seven
With the challenger already in the ring; the arena goes completely black and a blue spotlight shines on the entrance way as "Disposable Teens" by Marilyn Manson starts. The Entourage logo then flashes over the big screen and a large blast of blue and white pyro shoots out. Standing at the top of the ramp, with a bottle of water in his hand, is Sean Lane, the intercontinental champion. He looks around at the crowd he taps on his championship, which is neatly resting on his left shoulder. Lane then slowly starts to make his way to the ring. He enters through the middle rope. The referee asks for his title, but Lane refuses to give it to him yet.
Winner: Sean Lane Match Number Eight JC: Oh man, it's finally here! The first ever Free Fall Match!
RW: Look at that thing. Three levels of pure hell. Fans, here is a quick rundown of the Free Fall Match. There are three levels of the scaffold. Level one is fifteen feet above the ring, with various weapons scattered across it. Level two is thirty feet above the ring, and also has weapons on it. Level three is FORTY-FIVE FEET above the ring, but there are no weapons to aid the wrestlers on level three.
JC: I can't wait any longer! Get them out here already!
"Tight Rope" by Papa Roach hits, and the lights on the stage grow bright. Labak steps out onto the stage, and stands in the crucifixion pose, and it is revealed that he is holding a chain in his right hand. He then begins to walk down the ramp and he climbs into the ring, and leans up against the turnbuckle. His music fades and he awaits his opponents.
JC: Daniel Lloyd has become a sick, sick man.
RW: All three of these men are sick! Can you imagine what they are going to do to each other?
A few moments pass by, and then the eerie bass lines of "Would" by Alice In Chains begin to play. Prophet walks out to the ramp wearing a black and red hooded cloak. He stands at the foot of the ramp and quickly takes off his hood, then climbs into the ring. Labak and Prophet go nose-to-nose, and almost begin brawling, but they are both quickly warned by senior referee, James Dupre. The sounds of Alice In Chains slowly fades, as the two men stare each other down.
JC: The tension is so thick, you could cut it with a knife.
RW: This is truly what Strike Fantasy Towers is all about, fans!
The lights go out and we start to hear blocks tapping together. We hear the intro to some song beginning. Suddenly, we realize that it's Tool's "Eulogy" when we see the word 'LEGEND' on the StrikeTron. The fans cheer as a faint red spotlight shines on the center of the stage. The song starts to pick up and a puff of smoke is seen on the stage. When the smoke clears, we see Aj Nin Red Rum - known today as Legend - standing in the spotlight with his head lowered. During a calm part of the song, we hear a voice.
Voice: A man who knows others is strong. A man who knows himself is all-powerful.
The song rocks out again and Legend swings his head up. He stares a hole through the hearts of both Labak and Prophet, who are eagerly waiting near the ring. Legend starts walking towards the ring, but he stops to look up at the scaffold. Without much time to think, he begins to climb up the scaffolding.
RW: What is he doing?
JC: I'm not sure. The match is supposed to start in the ring.
RW: Actually... I think I read that this match is supposed to start on the first level of the scaffold.
Once on the first level, Aj Nin Red Rum, who wishes to now go by the name Legend, unsnaps the United States Title from around his waist and he sits down on a trash can. Referee James Dupre calls for the match to begin, and the bell rings.
RW: Here we go!
Labak turns away from Prophet and dashes towards the scaffolding, chain in hand, obviously going after Legend. But Prophet follows quickly behind him, and just as Labak begins to scale the scaffolding, the back of his shirt is grabbed by Prophet and he is pulled back down to the ring. Prophet goes to work on Labak with kicks to the midsection, and then lifts him back up. Prophet bounces off the ropes, and when he comes back he leaps over Labak's head, performing a full front flip, and grabs Labak's head and smashes it down on his shoulder in a huge neck breaker.
JC: I have never seen that before! The agility of Prophet is amazing!
RW: I don't know if this is possible, but he seems to be performing moves that Kris Ryder was never able to perform.
Labak crumbles down to the mat holding his neck. Meanwhile, Legend continues to watch from the first level of the scaffold, smiling. Prophet reaches into his back pocket, and pulls out his patented steel pike. There is a large reaction from the crowd, both boo's and cheers. Prophet approaches Labak, who is slowly getting to his feet, and measures him up. Just before Prophet can strike, Labak swings his chain and lashes Prophet across the jaw. Prophet lets out a painful shriek, and falls to the mat, holding his jaw in agony. Labak quickly takes advantage of this and begins to climb the scaffolding to the first level, where Legend is waiting for him.
RW: Prophet's jaw could be broken!
JC: But now Labak is going to get what he really wants: Aj Nin Red Rum, or Legend, or whatever he goes by tonight.
Labak reaches the first level of the scaffold, and stands across from Legend. The two stare at each other for what seems like an eternity. Suddenly, the two begin to slowly walk towards each other, almost methodically. Labak swings his chain, and Legend swings a baseball bat which he had picked up off the scaffold. The chain wraps itself around the bat, and Legend pulls the bat, ripping the chain from Labak's hands. Legend then throws the bat down and charges towards Labak. However, Labak was ready for him, and hunches over, using his back to throw Legend over his head. Legend lands on his back, and the whole scaffold rumbles.
RW: Oh my god.. That scaffold doesn't look too sturdy.
JC: If that thing were to collapse, not only would the competitors be seriously injured, but there is a risk of fans being hurt as well! This is not safe!
Labak picks his chain back up, and wraps it around Legend's throat, choking him. Even though there are no submissions in this match, Labak tightens the chain, with his sole purpose being to eliminate Legend. Meanwhile down in the ring, Prophet begins to climb the scaffolding. However, he continues his ascent past the first level, and up to the second, thirty feet from the ring! He quickly dashes across the second level of the scaffold, and stands directly above Labak and Legend. Labak notices Prophet, and quickly gets off of Legend and gets out of the way. Prophet takes a few steps back, then runs towards the edge of the scaffolding, and leaps off! Prophet hits a huge shooting star press onto Legend, from fifteen feet in the air! On impact, the large platform makes a loud splintering crack, and seems to almost give in. This results in a huge "holy shit" chant from the audience.
RW: These fans have the right idea. Holy shit! Holy shit!
JC: Luckily for Prophet, each level of the scaffold is a little smaller than the one below it. This gave Prophet only about five feet to perform that maneuver.
Labak picks his chain back up and lies Legend next to Prophet, who both seem to be hurt. He wraps the chain around both men's necks, and begins to drag the two across the platform, applying a vicious grip around their necks with the chain! He drags both men across the platform, then turns, and begins to drag them back. He eventually stops, and both men lie completely motionless. Labak covers them both.
RW: 1.. 2..
JC: Somehow, someway, both men manage to get a shoulder up!
This greatly angers Labak, and he picks up a nearby trash can. He puts the can over the heads of both men, and begins to whip the can with his chain! He continues to do this until the can is covered in large dents. He lifts the trash can, and then realizes that only Prophet is inside. He spins around and receives a massive cobra clutch suplexe from Legend! Again, the scaffold shakes, and the level one platform seems to split again. Prophet then slowly gets to his feet and comes up behind Legend, and plants him face-first down into the wood with a big cradle DDT. This time, the platform comes dangerously close to splitting, and the entire first level is a little bit curved in the middle. Prophet hops to his feet and begins to climb even further up the scaffold. Labak is now back on his feet. He puts his chain over his shoulder and begins to climb the scaffolding, right behind Prophet. As Prophet climbs, his pants seem to get caught on a nick in the scaffold. Labak notices this and begins to climb faster until he is right next to Prophet.
RW: Oh no..
JC: This is insane!
RW: What the hell is Labak doing?! They are FORTY FEET IN THE AIR!
Labak wraps the chain around Prophet's neck, and begins to pull. Prophet attempts to hold onto the scaffolding as best he can, but his grip slowly weakens. Labak gives one more big tug on the chain, and Prophet loses his grip and falls from the side of the scaffold. He somehow manages to catch himself by grabbing Labak's legs, and then gets back onto the scaffold. Prophet then wastes no time in quickly climbing past the surprised Labak, and makes it up to the third level of the scaffolding. Once at the top, he lies on the platform, exhausted. By now, Legend has recovered, and begins looking through the weapons on the second level. He opens a nearby trash can, and lifts out what looks like a bazooka!
JC: What the hell?
RW: That's a beanbag cannon! Those things are used by police officers!
JC: Folks, don't be fooled by the name. A well-aimed shot from one of those things could crack a rib!
Legend takes aim with the beanbag cannon, and fires a shot up at the third level. The large, heavy beanbag flies past Prophet's head, and almost causes Prophet to lose his balance on the platform. Labak is now also on the third level, and begins to approach Prophet. However, after only a few steps, Legend fires another beanbag and it strikes Labak right under the chin. Labak stumbles backwards, and a few moments later, is hit in the chest with another bag! This causes Labak to hunch over in extreme pain, and he begins to cough up blood! Prophet takes advantage of the situation and delivers a kick to the throat of Labak. Labak stumbles towards the edge of the platform, but regains his balance and collapses to his hands and knees. Prophet once again removes the pike from his back pocket, mounts Labak, and begins driving the pike into his forehead. Before long, Labak is wearing a thick crimson mask of blood. However, Prophet is caught off guard by a beanbag, which hits him right in the temple. Prophet sits still for a moment, and then just collapses in pain. Legend begins to climb the scaffold, and before long, he has reached the third level. Legend quickly lifts up Labak, and guides him to the edge of the platform.
RW: No way!
JC: Well, I had a feeling somebody was going to take a big fall tonight!
Legend grabs Labak by the hair and shirt, then tosses him off the edge of the platform. Labak free-falls fifteen feet and luckily lands back-first on level two. However, as he lands, the impact nearly splits the level in half, and pretty much bends the entire platform in a small "U" shape. Labak’s limp body rolls to the middle of the "U", and lies motionless.
RW: Holy shit! Labak is out cold!
Legend then turns to Prophet, who is waiting for him, and receives a kick to the midsection. Prophet hoists Legend onto his shoulders, and wastes no time in hitting a MASSIVE Fall From Grace! Prophet then walks to the center of level three, and lifts up what appears to be a giant steel cross, with attached chains that are hooked somewhere up in the rafters. He lifts up Legend, and lies him down on the cross.
JC: What is going on? A cross?
RW: I don’t know.. But it certainly doesn’t look good!
Prophet opens another trash can, and pulls out a large roll of barbed wire and metal cutters. He begins to wrap the barbed wire around the neck, both wrists, and both legs of Legend. He then fashions a barbed wire crown, much like the crown of thorns worn by Christ, and secures it around Legend’s head. Prophet then lifts the cross into an upright position, and Legend lies motionless on the cross, and blood is already dripping from the barbed wire wrapped areas. Prophet begins to slowly push the large cross, with Legend strapped to it, towards the edge of the platform.
RW: No fucking way. NO!
JC: Prophet is going to crucify Aj Nin Red Rum! This man has gone completely insane!
Prophet gives one final shove, and the cross plummets off the side of the scaffold. It falls ten feet or so, then stops in midair, as it is hooked onto the chains. The fans gasp in horror at the sight of Legend, aka Aj Nin Red Rum, being crucified thirty-five feet in the air!
RW: SOMEBODY GET OUT THERE AND HELP HIM!
JC: This is absolutely sick! If this man does not get help soon, he may be seriously hurt!
Prophet stands at the top of the scaffold, forty-five feet in the air, and extends his arms, standing in the crucifixion pose. An extremely loud outburst erupts from the fans, a mix between cheers, boo’s, screams, and cries. Suddenly, Prophet falls to his knees, holding his head. We see the bloody Labak standing behind him, wielding his chain! Labak continues to whip Prophet with the chain, leaving large, garish cuts. Labak walks to the edge of the scaffold, and stares at Legend, who is still completely unconscious, and losing dangerous amounts of blood. Labak begins to scream uncontrollably at the helpless man.
JC: This is really getting out of hand..
RW: This has crossed the line dividing wrestling from street fighting!
Somehow, someway, Prophet manages to get to his feet and opens up a un-touched trash can, without Labak noticing. Out of the can he pulls a small red container of GASOLINE! Prophet rushes towards Labak, and super kicks him in the back of the head. Labak almost falls off the scaffold, but Prophet grabs him by the back of his shirt and throws him down to wood. He quickly douses Labak in gasoline, and then pulls a match from the same trash can.
RW: I don’t think I have ever said this before, but this match is TOO extreme!
JC: This is, by far, the scariest thing I have ever seen in all my years here, folks. Somebody could be seriously, seriously hurt.. Or worse.
Prophet attempts to light the match, but is caught off guard when Labak’s right arm suddenly shoots him and whips him across the shoulder with the chain. Prophet stumbles back, and Labak jumps to his feet. He ties the chain into a noose, and fits it around Prophet’s neck. He attempts to force Prophet off the side of the scaffold, but Prophet resists. Labak shoves again, and Prophet jumps at the same time, and quickly gets behind Labak. He hastily lights the match, and throws it into the air. It lands right on Labak’s shoulder, and the man almost instantly goes up in flames. Not only that, but the third level of the scaffold, which is made of wood, also is caught on fire. Labak frantically runs around the platform, until almost the entire third level is up in flames. In a panic, Labak loses his balance and plunges off the edge of the scaffold. However, the flaming Labak has held onto the end of the chain that is around Prophet’s neck. Prophet grips a metal bar attached to the scaffold, and uses all of his strength to keep himself from being pulled off the side. Labak hangs in the air, ON FIRE, next to the crucified Legend, while Prophet is being viciously choked by the chain noose.
RW: HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!
JC: CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT! THESE TWO MEN ARE GOING TO DIE!
Prophet holds onto the bar with one hand, and attempts to remove the noose with the other. However, the pain of the noose just overwhelms the man, and his grip on the bar is gone. Prophet flies off the edge of the scaffold, as he and Labak plummet forty-five feet to the ring below! As they land, the entire ring CAVES IN around the! Officials swarm the ring and spray both men with fire extinguishers, and there is a thick gas in the ring. The crowd watches in awe, waiting for it to dissapear so they can get a glimpse of the two men. When the gas clears, Prophet and the severely burnt Labak are lying side-by-side in the ring, but Prophet’s right arm is draped across Labak’s body. The referee has no choice to count. 1.. 2.. 3!
RW: Get the medics out here! HOLY SHIT! This has probably ended both men’s careers!
JC: I would be surprised to see any of these men EVER walk again!
Literally dozens of men and women hit the ring, checking on the two men. A fire truck drives down the ramp as well, and begins to extend the ladder to help Aj Nin Red Rum down from the cross. In the midst of all the people in the ring, one referee raises the arm of the fallen Prophet, and drapes the United States title across his chest. Match Number Eight
RW: And here we go, SwitchBlade’s last match.
JC: And it is against SFT’s Grandest Member, Shadow.
RW: Man, I wish I could finish off with a match against Shadow.
Harvey Vaughn: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following match is an Iron Man
Match.
The rules are as follows. The match shall go for sixty minutes. Once
the match
is over, the man with the most pinfalls wins.
SwitchBlade comes out to "Crack Addict" by Limp Bizkit, and pyros shoot
from
both sides. The titan tron shows a switchblade going through a skull
and
shattering it to pieces. The name "SwitchBlade" is seen in red letters
on the
switchblade. Then a bunch of clips of all of SwitchBlade's matches are
shown.
Harvey Vaughn: Introducing first. Hailing from Los Angeles, California.
Coming
to the ring at 260 pounds, in his last match, Ladies and Gentlemen…
SWITCHBLADE.
SwitchBlade then pops up from the entrance with a cheer from the
audience, and
struts down to the ring doing taunts for the audience.
RW: Here he is, Strike Fantasy Towers Greatest Warrior. Over two years
here in
the Towers.
JC: So many memories, and now they all end.
He climbs up on the apron, and jumps over the ropes. He then stands in
the
center of the ring and stands with his arms folded, and waits for
Shadow
as “Shoots and Ladders” by Korn starts up as the Lights go out. As the
crowd
get on their feet, A green light shines on the entrance as there stands
Shadow
with Walking stick in hand.
Harvey Vaughn: And his opponent. From Cairo, Egypt. Coming to the ring
at 277
pounds. He is Strike Fantasy Tower’s Owner and Legend…SHADOW.
Shadow then makes his way down the ring slowly looking out the masses
of
people cheering him. As he then reaches the bottom of the ramp he then
looks
at SwitchBlade eye-balling him.
RW: Switchy is burning a whole through Shadow.
JC: Yeah, you can tell this match really means a lot to this guy.
Shadow then makes his way over to the ring steps. As he climbs up then,
he
never takes his eyes off of SwitchBlade. Once at the top, he then walks
along
the apron and drops his walking stick to the floor before climbing into
the
ring. Instantly, Switchy tries to get into Shadow, but the ref, Leon
Tyson
holds SwitchBlade back.
RW: This is two years in the making.
JC: Just look at the aggression. From being booted out of the Dead Pac,
to
that huge Dead Pac/Immortal Outlaws feud two years ago to SwitchBlade
softening Legion’s death.
SwitchBlade then backs off and allows Shadow into the ring. As both men
now
stand on opposite sides, Tyson calls for the bell, as the two just look
at
each other. As the crowd then heats up, they both begin to make their
way into
the centre of the ring and with one step to go, they rush in. As Shadow
goes
to grapple, Switchy ducks. Shadow stumbles forward as this allows
Switchy to
lock in a head lock. As soon as Switchy does, Shadow then slowly begins
to
push Switchy back to the ropes and then brings his arm to Switchy’s
back and
then pushes him off the ropes in hopes to lose SwitchBlade, but
SwitchBlade
just steps out with the headlock applied.
RW: SwitchBlade has that Headlock on tight, nobody is escaping that.
JC: Shadow will find a way.
As Shadow begins waving his arms around, trying to find some ropes
again, but
when he realizes that he is not close enough to any, he brings his arms
below
SwitchBlade’s thighs and then lifts up SwitchBlade and then drops his
with an
atomic drop. Switchy immediately lets go of Shadow’s head and leaps
back up,
holding ass and moving away from Shadow. As Shadow stumbles back a bit,
he
leans against the rope, rubbing his neck as he then bounces off of the
ropes
and as Switchy turns around, Shadow clotheslines Switchy. SwitchBlade
goes
down and immediately gets back up for Shadow to continue running to the
ropes,
bounce off of them and once again clothesline Switchy. With that second
one,
Switchy gets back up, as Shadow stops and then begins throwing wild
right
hands. He lands one, and then another, followed by another followed
another
clothesline.
RW: Five minutes into the match Shadow doing the smart thing. Keeping to
punches and clotheslines. Saving his energy.
JC: Yeah, Switchy’s headlock can affect Shadow later on in the match.
Back to the ring and SwitchBlade is getting back up. Once up, Shadow
grabs his
left arm and swings around to lock in an arm drag. SwitchBlade screams
out in
pain, as Shadow then drops to the mat taking SwitchBlade with him. With
Switchy lying face down, Shadow lies at 90 degrees to his back and
pulls back
hard. After a while, Shadow then turns himself around so that he can
get his
hand behind Switchy’s head and bring him to his feet. As he still has
it
locked in, Shadow goes to let go, but Switchy has other ideas and
quickly
reverses it. He then moves around behind Shadow to lock in a Full
Neilson hold.
RW: I think we all know what is going to happen here.
Just as Switchy goes to lift Shadow, Shadow breaks the hold on his
right,
tucks himself in and Full Nelson take downs SwitchBlade and quickly
brings his
left leg over Switchy’s throat and pulls out on the arm locking in
another arm
lock.
JC: Well I wasn’t expecting that. I guess when you have been in the
game long
like Shadow, you can get out of Shadow.
RW: I guess so. Damn, I thought I had it.
Back to the action as the ten minute mark passes and is still pulling
on that
arm as Switchy is making some progress to the ropes.
RW: Look at the strength of SwitchBlade, he is pulling himself and
Shadow.
JC: It’s the intensity, although maybe he should tap, that way he can
save his
energy and get the pin somewhere else in the next fifty minutes.
SwitchBlade eventually pulls himself to the ropes as Tyson starts the
five
count for Shadow. At the count of four, Shadow lets go and gets up
before
getting into Tyson’s face. As he does this, SwitchBlade begins to use
the
ropes to get back up. Before Switchy gets back to his feet however,
Shadow
walks over to SwitchBlade, once again, grabs his arm and then whips him
over a
turnbuckle. Shadow then walks his way over to SwitchBlade and attempts
to
punch SwitchBlade, but Switchy blocks it and knife-edge chops. Switchy
then
follows up with another , this time pushing Shadow back. Switchy then
lands
another and then another. SwitchBlade then takes advantage of Shadow in
pain
and whips Shadow to the ropes, once Shadow returns, SwitchBlade then
lifts up
Shadow for a Flapjack, but turns it into an Implant DDT.
RW: Holy Shit.
JC: How is Shadow’s neck?
As both men are on the mat, Switchy then rolls himself onto Shadow and
goes
for a pin.
1…
Kick out as Shadow gets his shoulders off of the mat. Switchblade then
rolls
off of Shadow and asks Tyson how much longer as Tyson yells out 45
minutes.
SwitchBlade then shakes his head in disbelief and then begins to get
back up.
Once up, he brings Shadow to his feet and then goes back to the
headlock.
SwitchBlade wrenches on Shadow’s neck as Shadow tries to use his bare
strength
the pull the arm down of SwitchBlade, but he is unable to as Switchy
then runs
forward and then drops Shadow with a Bulldog. SwitchBlade then rolls
Shadow
over as he goes for the pin again.
1..
again as SwitchBlade just can not believe it.
RW: How in the hell is that 40+ man kicking out.
JC: He is Shadow. That’s the only explanation you need.
With SwitchBlade on his knees, he grabs Shadow’s head and then brings
himself
and Shadow up. Once up, SwitchBlade then whips Shadow across to the
turn he
was at moments ago. He then looks at Tyson again asking for the time as
Tyson
yells out 40 minutes. SwitchBlade then rolls his eyes as he then runs
at
Shadow and looks to splash him, but Shadow raises his right foot and
Switchy
goes head first into it. Once Switchy lands, he backs up as Shadow then
quickly drops down and drop toes SwitchBlade on to the bottom
turnbuckle
corner. As SwitchBlade remains motionless, Shadow then uses the ropes
to get
back up, and proceeds to kick SwitchBlade in the back of the neck.
RW: Shadow softening that neck of SwitchBlade.
JC: Yeah.
Shadow then stops kicking SwitchBlade’s neck and brings Switchy to his
feet
and spins him and rests him against the turnbuckle. From there, Shadow
climbs
up the second turnbuckle and proceeds to land punches into
SwitchBlade’s
forehead as the crowd count to 9 with the punches. Shadow then leaves
the
tenth and decides to hop down, only to lift SwitchBlade to the top
rope.
Shadow then goes up the second rope and throws a few punches again and
then
hooks up SwitchBlade for a Super Suplex. But before Shadow can throw
him off,
SwitchBlade pushes Shadow off from the top rope. With Shadow down,
SwitchBlade
then begins to turn around. S he looks to the crowd in front of him, he
waves
to them and then flies of, landing a moonsault. As he connects, he
quickly
grabs Shadow’s legs and goes for the pin.
1..
RW: OUR FIRST PIN.
JC: SwitchBlade is 1 and 0 on Shadow with 32 minutes to go.
As SwitchBlade rolls off of Shadow, he holds his stomach in pain. With
both
men down on the mat, Tyson begins his ten counts. At three, both men
roll on
to their backs. At five, SwitchBlade is on his knees. At six Shadow is
on his
knees. At 8 both men are about to get up and at nine and a half, both
men are
on their feet, stumbling back to the ropes behind each man.
RW: Both men are so worn out, and they still have another half hour to
go.
JC: And this why way you focus on small moves at the start. By now,
Switchy’s
arms would be killing him.
RW: True…True.
Back to the ring and SwitchBlade then runs at Shadow. As he goes to
clothesline Shadow, Shadow once again raises his foot and once again
SwitchBlade meets Shadow’s foot. As Switchy then stumbles back, Shadow
then
grabs SwitchBlade by the arm again, brings him in and then vertical
suplex’s
SwitchBlade. As Shadow then keeps the hold in, he bring SwitchBlade
with him,
and then snap Suplex’s him. As Shadow once again keeps it locked in, he
brings
Switchy back to his feet and once again tries to suplex him, but
SwitchBlade
blocks it. Shadow tries again and SwitchBlade blocks it again.
SwitchBlade
then snap suplex’s Shadow. Still keeping the hold, he brings Shadow up
and
then does another snap suplex. As SwitchBlade then looks to do another.
He
then uses all the strength he has left and lifts Shadow up high, and
then
suddenly drops him with a Brainbuster.
RW: There is the beck of Shadow again. He is going to be really sore
tomorrow.
JC: But SwitchBlade is thinking smart. Both of his finishers involve
the neck.
And look at that, 25 minutes to go. Right now, SwitchBlade has Shadow
right
where he needs him, with a bad neck.
SwitchBlade then goes for the pin again as he drags his arm over
Shadow’s neck.
1..
1..
RW: He still kicks out. Why doesn’t he give up? He is too old to keep
doing
this.
JC: He has his pride. Let him have this.
As SwitchBlade then looks at Tyson, he taps his wrist looking for the
time as
Tyson yells out 20 minutes. SwitchBlade just smiles, obviously glad
that is
almost over. As SwitchBlade then brings Shadow to his feet once again,
SwitchBlade then sends Shadow once again to the ropes and when he
returns,
throws a wild punch at Shadow stopping Shadow in his tracks.
SwitchBlade then
repeats the whip again, to once again stop Shadow with a punch.
JC: See how smart Switchy is there. He is using no energy, but is really hurting Shadow.
RW: Yeah.
SwitchBlade then once again throws Shadow to the ropes, and when he
would go
for the punch, SwitchBlade then tries a Superkick, but Shadow catches
it,
shakes his head and then pulls himself towards SwitchBlade to then put
his
hand in SwitchBlade’s mouth locking in The Claw. SwitchBlade then
begins
waving his arms all around the place, trying to get out, but the more
he waves
his arms, the more the pain comes in as SwitchBlade then goes down to
one leg,
and then the other. As Shadow looks around, he gives a smirk as he then
falls
to the mat, pushing SwitchBlade to the mat as he lies on his back. So
with
SwitchBlade on his back and Shadow lying on his stomach, they remain
like that
for a minute as Shadow still have his Claw in. Finally, Tyson then
lifts
Switchy’s right hand, but it drops immediately. He then repeats it for
it to
drop again. Tyson then lift’s the hand once more, holding it high in
the air
and then it falls.
RW: WITH 15 MINUTES TO GO..SHADOW EVENS THE SCORE.
JC: But how much Energy do these guys have left.
Shadow then releases the claw, he then gets back to his feet slowly and falls back into the ropes. SwitchBlade looks to be out cold on the mat. But then the fans chant “SwitchBlade” and his arm begins to move, SwitchBlade then gets up slowly, he then uses his arms and pushes him self back up, SwitchBlade and Shadow both stand just looking at each other. Then SwitchBlade walks forward, then charges and tries to hit a close line, but Shadow side steps him and hits SwitchBlade in the back of the neck with a chop sending SwitchBlade to his knees and Shadow into the ropes.
JC: Even though it looks like Shadow is in control, his old body is tired and wont be able to keep up with Switchblade.
RW: You never know though, this is Shadow. He can do any thing.
Shadow then grabs SwitchBlade and throws him toward the ringpost, then Shadow picks him up and sets him up on the turnbuckle, Shadow then climbs up and SwitchBlade is out of it and looks like he wont be able to counter what ever is coming his way, Shadow then sets him up and connects with “Falling Through the Looking Glass” and the crowd yells out OWW at that landing. Shadow then goes to cover SwitchBlade and Tyson starts a count.
1…
JC: HELL NO!
RW: YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!
JC: NO ONE KICKS OUT OF THAT!
RW: DUDE SWITCHBLADE SHOULD BE DEAD!
The fans start a “SwitchBlade” Chant once more as Shadow can not believe that he kicked out from that. Shadow looks down at SwitchBlade and he looks lifeless, but then the fans begin to cheer as SwitchBlade begins to get back up, Shadow also gets back up, SwitchBlade is to his feet and then punchs Shadow right in the face and then hits “Deep Cut”, SwitchBlade then goes for a cover.
1…
JC: BLOODY HELL!
RW: COME ON! JEBUS!
SwitchBlade then screams out in frustration, he then picks up Shadow and sends him into the corner, SwitchBlade then sets Shadow up on the top turnbuckle, then SwitchBlade sets up Shadow for a “Falling Through the Looking Glass”, BUT WAIT!, Shadow Counters it and hits his move “Falling Through the Looking Glass” one more time!. Shadow then goes for a cover.
RW: 1…
JC: 2…
Crowd: 3!
DING
DING
DING!
Harvey Vaughn: Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner of this match is SHADOW!
JC: And with only two minutes left my god.
The fans begin to cheer for the match that have just seen. Shadow then gets to his feet and takes a second to catch his breath. SwitchBlade then gets up and the fans begin to cheer, Shadow then walks over to SwitchBlade and extends a hand, and SwitchBlade excepts and the fans begin to cheer, then SwitchBlade exits the ring as we fade to a promo for Inferno.
Winner:
Shadow Sean Lane: Brandi, thank god I found you! Brandi James: Why? Sean Lane: You can't go out there for your match. Brandi James: What?! Sean Lane: Big T is in the arena somewhere and he's threatened to hurt my loved ones and since you are my loved one, he must be coming after you next. And we can't trust anybody, even Clayton. Brandi James: You're crazy Sean! Don't worry baby, I'll be fine. I'm wrestling Damien, he'll watch out for me. Calm down. Go in the locker room and watch the match on the monitor if you want too. Go ahead, I'll be fine hun. Sean Lane shakes his head. Brandi kisses him. Sean then goes in the locker room as Brandi continues on her way. We go to ringside. RW: Brandi better be careful when she comes out here. Big T may be lurking in the shadows like when Kanath was backstage getting stitched up. Match Number Nine RW: Well Johnny, this is it. The main event!
JC: No doubt this is going to be HUGE! Damien Sparks! Brandi James! God vs. Goddess for the SFT World Championship. What more could you ask for?
RW: I don't think I could! Who do you think will win?
JC: There's no way to know. These two are the best in the business. You can't choose!
RW: Well we're about to find out right here tonight. Lets cut to the ring.
(The camera cuts to Candy Peaks standing at the center of the ring with a microphone in hand. Suddenly, the arena lights cut out for a moment, then suddenly red and white lights flicker all round the arena. "Cocky" hits and the arena fills with boo's. Red and white pyro streams from the top of the entrance with "Wrestling's Numero Uno" Damien Sparks standing just in front of it. He looks around at the crowd with an arrogant smile on his face as he slowly makes his way to the ring, taunting the jeering fans on the way.)
Candy Peaks: This is the main event of the night. It's scheduled for one fall, and is for the SFT World Heavyweight Championship. First making his way to the ring, the challenger, hailing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada&DAMIEN SPARKS!
(Damien climbs the steel steps, and enters into the ring. He then climbs the turnbuckle closest to him, and taunts the fans one more time. They boo him, but they still admire the man. He leaps back down, and walks calmly to the center of the ring as his song ends. He looks ahead at the entrance awaiting Brandi James.)
RW: Damien definitely looks ready to wrestle here tonight folks.
JC: Are you kidding? He has to be at his best tonight. This is his most important match to date. He's well prepared for whatever Brandi has for him.
(The lights dim again and "Get Naked" by Tommy Lee starts up. As the song picks up, two shots of purple and silver pyro shoot straight up towards the arena's rafters. As the smoke clears, "The Goddess" Brandi James stands at the top of the ramp doing a sexy pose with the SFT World Title around her waist.)
Candy Peaks: And now making her way to the ring, hailing from Miami Florida, she is the SFT World Heavyweight Champion&BRANDI JAMES!
(Brandi seductively makes her way down the ramp and up the stairs. Brandi then steps under the second rope and into the ring. Brandi jumps up on the ropes. She raises her arms in the air and some pyro shoots off. She jumps off the rope and goes to the referee. She takes off the world title, and hands it to the referee who raises it in the air, and then hands it to an official at ringside. Brandi walks over to the center of the ring where she meets Sparks eye to eye.)
RW: You can cut the tension with a knife, folks.
JC: It's two friends battling it out for the belt. No doubt this one's going to be a classic.
(The two stare at each other for a long time as the song ends. The crowd cheers for the match to begin. Candy exits out of the ring, and the bell rings. The match officially begins. At first nothing happens; it is the calm before the storm. Damien then backs up a bit, and holds out his hand much to the shock of the fans. Brandi looks at it, and smiles. She shakes Damien's hand, and then backs away herself. The two circle around each other to see who makes the first move. Instead, both Damien and Brandi lock up, and Damien immediately pushes Brandi into the turnbuckle. He taunts her, but Brandi just smirks. She walks up to Damien, and the two lock up again. Brandi goes down on one knee, but then swings herself behind Damien, and tackles him down to the mat. She immediately grabs Damien by the neck, and applies a sleeper hold variation. Damien picks himself up though, and pushes Brandi into the ropes. He holds his neck not expecting that from her. Brandi comes right back on Damien, and again the two lock up. Damien is able to grab Brandi's right arm, and applies a hammerlock. Brandi grabs Damien by the neck again, and snap mares him down. She then picks herself up, and dropkicks him in the head. She goes for a quick pin.)
Referee: 1&kickout.
(Damien lifts a shoulder, and immediately gets back up. Brandi is right on him though, and throws a few forearm shots to the side of the head. She Irish whips him into the ropes, and bends foreword looking for a back body drop, but Damien is able to kick her in the head. He holds her face, and backs into the ropes. Damien then runs towards her, and clotheslines her over the top rope. Damien then exits the ring, and picks up Brandi again.)
RW: And already the two have taken it outside.
JC: There's no telling what's going to happen out here.
(Damien drags Brandi over to the steel steps, and attempts an Irish whip into the steps, but Brandi reverses, and Damien goes shoulder first into the steps. Brandi walks up to Damien, and picks him up.)
Referee: 1&2&3&4&
(Brandi tosses Damien into the ring, but leaves his head over the ring. She then climbs up on the apron herself, leaps off it, and lands an elbow on Damien's neck. He rolls into the rings trying to catch his breath. Brandi slides into the ring, and picks Damien back up. She gives him a few chops to the chest with the crowd going "WHOOO" after each chop. She then irish whips Damien into a turnbuckle, and goes for a running clothesline, but he moves out of the way, and Brandi hits the turnbuckle hard. Damien the grabs Brandi from behind, and hits her with a high angle backdrop. He goes for the pin.)
Referee: 1&2&kick out!
(Damien picks up Brandi by her hair, and then delivers a hard side slam. He hooks the leg for another pin attempt.)
Referee: 1&2&kick out!
(He picks up Brandi again, and places her between his leg. He smirks, and taunts the crowd who give him a friendly boo. He lifts Brandi up in the air looking to hit a powerbomb, but she is able to punch Damien in the head once, twice, three, four times before he falls to the ground with Brandi on top of him. The referee makes the count.)
Referee: 1&2&kick out!
RW: And Brandi almost got a surprise win on Sparks.
JC: So far it appears that the two are about equal in the ring. I still don't know who'll win.
RW: Well it's a great match either way.
JC: So true&
(Brandi gets off of Damien, and starts climbing the turnbuckle closest to her. She stands perched like a hawk. Damien slowly gets back up, and turns around. Brandi leaps off, and hits a beautiful missile dropkick into his chest. Brandi gets up, and covers Damien for another pin attempt.)
Referee: 1&2&kick out!
(Brandi gets a little annoyed, but keeps right on Damien. She runs the ropes, and hits a running leg drop on him. She then grabs Damien's head, and applies another sleeper hold. She keeps it on tight, and Damien struggles to get free. Soon he starts showing signs of losing consciousness, and he drifts off. The referee goes up to Damien, and lifts his arm up once&it falls. He lifts it up a second time&it falls again. He lifts it up for a third time&and it only falls halfway before it starts shaking, and makes a fist. Brandi gets shocked, and tries to keep the hold on, but before she knows it, Damien is standing tall, and backs Brandi into a turnbuckle. He turns around, and places Brandi on the top rope. He then starts climbing up with her, and it looks like he's going for a superplex. He lifts her up in the air, and keeps her there for a while before finally falling back, and both wrestlers hits the mat hard.)
RW: A nice superplex by Sparks!
JC: Yeah, but now he has to capitalize on it, and go for the pin.
(Damien slowly lifts himself up, and puts a hand over Brandi. The referee makes the count.)
Referee: 1&2&kick out!
(Brandi is somehow able to lift a shoulder in the air. Damien gets pissed, and pulls himself back up using the ropes. He starts climbing the top rope again, and looks back at Brandi. He then taunts the crowd, and performs Long Kiss Goodnight! But Brandi is able to get her legs up, and Damien lands on them hard.)
RW: Did you see that? Sparks was trying to win the match with Brandi's own move!
JC: But I think he underestimated Brandi's ring knowledge. That's what could cost him the world title.
(Brandi slowly picks herself up, and walks over to Damien. She lifts him up from the mat, taunts the crowd, and goes for Ego Trip! Damien instead back body drops Brandi to the mat. She gets up right away only to be met with a fierce clothesline by Damien.)
RW: Well I guess it didn't hurt in trying.
JC: I think those two are just trying to one-up each other.
RW: Well of course. Their egos combined could fill a hot air balloon at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade!
JC: You never cease to amaze me, Randy&
(Damien grabs Brandi, and hits her with a belly to back suplex. He then starts stomping a mud hole in her stomach. When he finishes, he picks her up, and carries her over to a turnbuckle. He grabs her by the head, and goes to bang her head on the turnbuckle pad multiple times, but Brandi is able to put her hands out to stop it. She then elbows Damien in the gut, and she bangs his head into the turnbuckle pad once, twice, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten times! Damien starts walking funny around the ring, and then falls face first to the mat. Brandi picks up Damien again, and snap suplexes him down. She then climbs the top rope, and it looks like she's going for Long Kiss Goodnight, but Damien gets up right away, grabs Brandi, and tosses her back down to the mat. Brandi gets up, and Damien clotheslines her back down. He goes for a pin.)
Referee: 1&2&kick out!
(Damien picks Brandi back up, and hits her with Superiority Complex. Instead of pinning her though, he grabs Brandi's legs, and locks on a sharpshooter. Brandi screams out in pain, but doesn't tap. She tries making her way to the ropes, but Damien pulls her back to the center. She bangs a fist on the mat trying not to succumb to the pain. After what feels like an eternity for her, she eventually reaches the ropes, but Damien keeps the hold on. The referee makes a count.)
Referee: 1&2&3&get off her&4&
(Damien releases the hold, and gets in the referee's face. They both argue, and that causes the referee to push Damien back. Damien gets wide eyed, and looks like he's about to kill the referee, when suddenly, Brandi pushes Damien into the ref, and of course the referee hits his head on the turnbuckle, and falls unconscious.)
RW: And the referee is down!
JC: You'd think we could get better referees. I mean the guy falls after a small bump to the head!
RW: Maybe he's sensitive.
JC: Well let's get some REAL referees. You know like Mills Lane. Now THERE'S a referee!
RW: Isn't he a judge now?
JC: &shut up you!
(Damien turns around, and is met with a hurricarana by Brandi. She then climbs the top rope, and hits Damien with Long Kiss Goodnight! She picks herself up, climbs the top rope again, and hits him with ANOTHER Long Kiss Goodnight! She goes for the pin, but there's no referee around. She slams the mat three times, but nobody shows up. She gets up, and picks up the fallen referee. She slaps him in the face to wake him up. When the ref comes to his sense, Brandi turns around looking to get back to her pin, but ends up seeing a now-standing Damien kick her in the gut, and deliver Ego Trip! Before he can make the pin though, he collapses in pain, and both combatants are out. the referee starts making the count.)
Referee: 1&2&3&4&5&6&
(Damien is the first to start getting up.)
Referee: 7&8&9&
(Damien notices Brandi still knocked out on the ground, but instead of letting the referee count, he picks up Brandi, and both wrestlers are up before the count of 10.)
JC: Wait a minute&why did Sparks help Brandi up? He could have won!
RW: I don't think that's the way he wanted to win. He has a lot of respect for Brandi, and I think they both want this match to end on a good note.
JC: Oh yeah? Well you're a stupid idiot dumb head!
RW: Are you still talking?
JC: Shut up!
(Damien drags Brandi over to the turnbuckle again, and lifts her up on the turnbuckle. He then climbs the top rope with her, and it looks like he's going for another superplex. But WAIT! Brandi comes back to life, and throws a mad barrage of punches to the face of Damien. She then pushes him down, and Damien hits the mat hard. Brandi taunts the crowd as they go crazy. She then leaps and hits Long Kidd Goodnight on Damien! Brandi slowly goes to Damien, and covers him.)
Referee: 1&&..2&&KICK OUT!
(The crowd is in shock, and so is Brandi. He gets up slowly, and climbs the top rope again. She looks down at Damien and smile. She hits him with ANOTHER Long Kiss Goodnight, and goes for another pin.)
RW: This is it&it HAS to be!
Referee: 1&&&2&&..3! That's it!
(The bell sounds and "Get Naked" starts playing again. Both Brandi and Damien are out on the mat.)
RW: I don't believe it! Brandi James won!
JC: She defeated Damien, but not before taking one hell of a beating!
RW: Those two put on a great show.
(Brandi slowly gets up, and the referee hands her the world title, which she proudly waves in the air.)
Candy Peaks: The winner of this match&and STILL SFT World Champion&BRANDI JAMES!
(Brandi leans on the ropes trying to catch her breath. Damien starts to get up now. He hears her music, and finds out he lost. He looks over at Brandi, and the music soon stops. Brandi and Damien both meet each other eye to eye again. Brandi smiles, and gives Damien a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Damien smiles as well, and he raises Brandi's hand in the air.)
RW: What a match! It went back and forth so many times.
JC: Brandi just somehow mustered up the strength to win this one. She's going to be a great world champion&
RW: No Johnny she IS a great world champion.
Winner: Brandi James JC: This doesn't look good for Brandi and Damien. Sean Lane runs down to the ring and slides in with a chair in hand. He holds back Walsh, Radiant, and Prophet as Brandi James and Damien Sparks try to get up. Then Clayton Walker runs down to the ring with a chair in his hand. He slides in and stands next to Sean Lane, helping him protect Sparks and James. RW: Looks like Sean Lane can trust Clayton Walker. He's got his back. Damien Sparks gets up first and he rolls Brandi James into the only corner that Walsh, Radiant, and Prophet aren't in. Sparks then rolls out of the ring and gets a chair of his own. He slides back in the ring and stands to the other side of Sean Lane. Then Lane, Walker, and Sparks all swing at Walsh, Radiant, who all jump out of the ring. JC: Shawn Walsh, Radiant, almost got their heads taken off! Sean Lane yells shit to Shawn Walsh on the outside of the ring. But when Sean Lane turns around to finally check on Brandi, he gets smacked in the head with two chairs. RW: Con-Chair-To!! Con-Chair-To!! RW: Holy shit!! As the camera goes to a wide shot we see Damien Sparks to the right and Clayton Walker to the left of the fallen Sean Lane, both staring down at Sean Lane's unconscious body. Brandi James is up and runs over to Sean. She kneels beside him and holds his head. Then Prophet, Radiant, and Shawn Walsh slide back in the ring. They then shake hands with Damien Sparks and Clayton Walker. RW: Damien Sparks and Shawn Walsh are shaking hands. This is insane right now. Then Prophet, Radiant, Clayton Walker, and Damien Sparks surround Brandi James and the fallen Sean Lane as Shawn Walsh goes ringside to get a microphone. He re-enters the ring and walks to the middle. He looks down at Brandi James and Sean Lane. Shawn Walsh: Damien, pick Brandi off the mat please and restrain her. I don't want her getting hurt. Damien Sparks grabs Brandi James and holds her in the corner. Shawn Walsh: Prophet, Radiant, and Clayton can you please pick this lifeless bitch up off the mat and drape him on the top rope please. Radiant, Prophet, and Clayton Walker do as Shawn tells them. They drape Sean Lane on the top rope and hold him there so he doesn't fall. Shawn Walsh then goes to the outside and gets a cup of beer from a fan. He slides back in the ring and splashes the beer in Sean Lane's face, waking him up a bit. Shawn Walsh: Wake up Sean, I want to make sure you understand some things. Wake up Sean. Come on, wake up you little bitch! Shawn Walsh then slaps Sean Lane and he wakes right up. He tries to go after Walsh, but Radiant, Clayton Walker, are holding him down. Shawn Walsh: Do you see all this Sean? Do you? Look at what's in the ring. All of this was brought together just to take you down and keep you down. You wanted to act like a cocky fuck, thinking you're the best in the business. Well son look at you now. You aren't even Travis Hardy. You're below the shit that a farmer steps in every time he goes in the barn to milk the cows. You're jack shit Sean, jack shit. But we're not through, not by a long shot. There's one tiny ity bity piece of this puzzle yet to be revealed. You know your boy Chris Kanath? Well if your wondering why he didn't come out here and help you, this is why… The lights dim and two quarters drop on a table on the StrikeTron. "What Up Gangsta" by 50 Cent hits and gold, silver, and green lights flash throughout the arena. A red spotlight shines down at the top of the ramp and the one and only Big T steps into it. The camera goes close-up on his face and it shows him smiling. He makes his way down the ramp, up the stairs, and in the ring. The lights come back on and the music fades out. Big T steps right to Sean Lane and gets right in his face. He takes the mic from Walsh. Big T: Ha…. Ha…. Ha… Ha… Ha.. Ha.. Ha.. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Haaaaaaaa yeah!!!!!! Sean Lane, you ignorant cock smooch. I warned you. Shawn warned you. Chris Kanath warned you. You moron! Can't you read between the lines? Maybe now you will realize that you are superior to no one. Like Shawn said, you aren't jack shit son. Gentlemen, can you please toss this piece of shit out of my site? Clayton Walker, Prophet, and Radiant all toss Sean Lane over the top rope to the floor so he is at the bottom of the ramp. Brandi fights from Damien Sparks and runs out to Sean. Radiant, Clayton Walker, Prophet, Damien Sparks, and Shawn Walsh stand side by side in the ring. Big T stands in front of them. Big T: Ladies and gentlemen… it gives me great pleasure, like last night in bed with Pandoura, to introduce to all of you scum bags and skank hos the next greatest stable in SFT history. I am proud to introduce to you… Radiant, Clayton Walker, Prophet, co-leaders Damien Sparks and-the man I shall manage-Shawn Walsh… better known as Superiority Complex!!! "Suk it Up" by (Hed)P.E. begins to play. Just before the actual song kicks in, you hear Damien Sparks say "You think you're better?" followed by Shawn Walsh's extremely cocky chuckle The five men raise there hands in the air as Big T gets on his knees with his arms spread wide open. RW: This doesn't look good for SFT, fans. JC: This group, Superiority Complex will destroy any man, woman, or group that try to get in there way. Closing
RW: Awesome awesome match. That match alone was worth the price of the ppv.
