Strike
Fantasy Towers Tuesday Night Titans™
December 5th, 2006
Live From Louisville, Kentucky
Opening
[The show
opens to the
chaotic Cardinal Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky. We go right to
ringside where RW and JC are eager to call tonight's action.]
Phil:
Ladies
and
gentlemen... tonight promises to be a big night for Strike Fantasy
Towers.
Steve: Yes
sir.
Southern Championship Wrestling Hall of Famer Derek "Rumpke" Richardson
returns to the ring tonight to take on his former business partner
Nathan Gust!
Phil: I
wasn't
talking about that. I was talking about Shadow's HUGE announcement.
Steve: Oh,
that's
right. Christian Cage announced at the end of Inferno that here...
tonight... Shadow would be in the building to make a huge announcement.
Phil: Some
kind of
earth-shaking announcement...
[Just then,
"Mack Daddy"
by Sir Mix-a-Lot starts up and the happy crowd turns vicious as Connor
MacDaddy walks out onto the stage in a pinstripe suit. With a
microphone in hand, he cues for his music to die down.]
Connor
MacDaddy: I
know you are all wondering about Shadow's announcement. I'm not quite
sure, but it's one of two things. Either James Flame is coming back...
or he's brought back Glenn Owen to take over Tuesday Night Titans.
Either way... all of you fans are screwed.
Steve: Get
him off the
stage!
Connor
MacDaddy: So
there, I spoiled your fun. Shadow's announcement is nothing important.
Pay not attention to it. What is important... is that here...
tonight... Aidan and I make sure that you people go home unhappy. Stay
tuned for a really bad show...
[Connor waves
and walks
backstage.]
Phil: This
isn't WFW,
Connor. This is SFT. We are always great.
Steve: Always?
Phil: Okay...
maybe
not always. Close enough.
Match One Jason vs. Tyler Johnson vs. The Guyver vs. Amphetamine [Four Corners Match]
[Jason's
music plays, however Jason does not show, instead Xavier Anderson comes
from the curtain. He is weilding a microphone, readying to speak.]
Xavier: This is a
disgrace, Jason is dead and yet you still hold his place in the match?
What kind of sick people are you all? Instead you should be holding a
memorial service for him! What the hell? Better idea, in honor of
Jason, I shall wrestle his match tonight! Here I come!
[Xavier
begins to take off his shirt when the arena goes completely dark,
leaving the camera's the only lights flashing. The striketron then goes
into a blinding white light, as if it were looking into the heavens.
Just then a figure begins to recede down from the sky, lowering to the
ground, wings aloft as he slowly glides down. Once to the earth the
wings explode into a feathery mess, the feathers then fade into
nothingness. The man lands in a kneeling position after the wings
burst, his fist to the ground in front of him, his face pointed towards
the earth, white hair over his face. The background grows dark,
allowing the man to now lift his head, once lifted, he opens his eyes,
which glow red, when first seen they sort of sparkle, or twinkle. He
then smiles... over the pa a voice is heard: You Shall... FALL FROM
GRACE!!! Thus the words Fallen Angel appear over the figures head in
sparkling silver letters.) The lights come back on, Xavier is gone and
a man dressed in white stands in the ring. He smiles and begins to take
off his vest-jacket. His red eyes stare into the eyes of his opponents.
He throws his jacket to the side.]
Fallen: I shall
take the place of this, Jason. RING THE BELL!
Phil: Alright,
whatever that was all about.
[The Fallen Angel is already down in
the ring waiting for the other three participates. "Won't Back
Down"
plays over the address sound system. As it blast the sound system. The
Guyver steps down the entrance ramp through the smoke. White sparkling
with gold, red, and black pyro mixed as it begins to engulf the Guyver
as he stands with his facing forward at the ring and his arms in a
formation and his head is down. He spins 180 degree to his right and
drops his arms to his side. He slowly brings his head up as he glares
into the camera. As his head goes completely up and levels. He breathes
a stream of smoke out of his nose. He slowly and menacingly walks down
to the ring. He climbs onto the turnbuckle and raises his arms in the
air. He crosses the ring to the opposite turnbuckle. Then he climbs up
the turnerbuckle. As he raise his fist up through out the arena as he
repeats the process acknowledging the crowd chanting and cheering.]
Phil: This is going
to be a hell of an opening match.
Steve: Your not
kidding Phil, we still got two more participates to come down here.
[Suddenly
"Fatal" by RZA hit’s the pa system. Moments go by and Amphetamine
is
no where to be seen. The music goes off, and the Strike tron
lights up
to see Amphetamine and Tyler Johnson hanging out in Rumpke’s custom
prepared locker room. The two are sitting at the bar.
Rumpke has just
finished chugging a fifth of Jim Beam. He turns around, grabs a
bottle
of Crown Royal, a bottle of Wild Turkey. Rumpke hands Amphetamine
the
bottle of Crown.]
Rumpke: Be a good
girl, and drink it all. It doesn’t count if you spill half of
it.
[Amphetamine’s head is
swaying back and forth as she stares at the full fifth of whisky.
Then looks at Rumpke, and smiles.]
Amphetamine: You’re
a cute little man.
Rumpke: Damn
straight baby, one of these days I’ll have to introduce you to "Russell
the love muscle".
Amphetamine: Maybe
one of these days..
[Then a door flys open,
and in walks Page Michaels. Page looks at the two drunk
wrestlers.]
Page
Michaels: What the fuck are you two doing in here? I’ve
been looking
everywhere for you two. Don’t you guys know that your suppose to
be
wrestling right now?
Tyler Johnson: Uh,
I forgot…
Amphetamine: Yeah,
we both got distracted..
Page Michaels: I
can see that.
[Page looks at Rumpke]
Page Michaels: It
never fails, anytime your around, someone’s getting drunk!
Rumpke: What can I
say.. I guess I rub off on people.
Page Michaels: That
you do…
[Page
looks back at Tyler and Amphetamine. Tyler goes to hit the bottle
of
Jack and he falls out of the chair and hit’s the ground hard.]
Page
Michaels: Well I’ll be damned! You two aren’t fucking
wrestling now.
Get your drunk asses to Aidan’s office. He wants to talk to you!
[Tyler slowly gets to his
feet with Amphetamine helping him. Then the two walk out the
door, Page walks up to the bar.]
Page Michaels: You
really fucked those two up.
Rumpke: Hey, they
told me they could keep up. Not my fault their lightweights.
Page Michaels: Did
it ever cross your mind that people got better things to do than just
sit around and drink all day?
Rumpke: Hell no,
why would that cross my mind. You know me, I drink 24/7.
Hell I would drink while I was sleeping if I could.
Page Michaels: Yes,
we all know that Derek.
Rumpke: Say, how
about a shot boss?
Page Michaels: Now
see, there you go again. First you fuck up two of my wrestlers,
and now you want to get me fucked up..
Rumpke: Nah, I
wouldn’t do that to you, just one. What’s that gonna hurt?
[Page looks at the
selection Rumpke has, and nods his head.]
Page Michaels: Alright
give me a shot of Vodka.
Rumpke: Coming
right up.
[Rumpke
turns around, grabs a double shot glass along with a bottle of Dark
Eye’s Vodka. Rumpke fills the glass up, and hands it to
Page. Rumpke
grabs the bottle of Crown that Amphetamine left on the counter.]
Rumpke: Cheers boss!
Page Michaels: Cheers
Rumpke
[The two cling the glass,
and bottle together, and they both slam the contents as the Strike Tron
fades to black.]
Phil: Damn,
Rumpke’s first night back and people are already getting drunk.
Steve: Your
telling me that you didn’t see that coming?
Phil: I had
no clue..
Steve: Yeah, well
anyways, I guess that means our match is ready to begin since the other
two obviously won‘t be showing up..
[The
bell rings, and the match is under way. Both men charge at each
other,
but The Guyver gets the upper hand with a close line. The Fallen
Angel
jumps back up only to be knocked right back down with another close
line from the Guyver. The Guyver reaches down, and pulls the
Fallen
Angel to his feet only to get nailed with a right hand to the
face.
The Guyver lets go of him as he gets hit with another right hand.
By
this time the Fallen Angel nails the Guyver three more times.]
Phil: The Fallen
Angel is obtaining the upper hand with those right hands.
Steve: I don’t
know if I would say he’s getting the upper hand.
[The
Guyver is stunned a little, and the Fallen Angel slings himself off the
ropes and nails the Guyver with a close line of his own that sends the
six foot eight, two hundred and eighty pound monster down to the
ground. The Fallen Angel does elbow drop after elbow drop.
The Fallen
Angel gets a little to greedy and goes for a forth only to come up
short and miss the Guyver as he rolls out of the way. The Guyver
slings up to his feet as does The Fallen Angel. The Fallen Angel
charges at the Guyver only to get slung down to the ground by a hip
toss. The Fallen Angel gets right back, charges at the Guyver
once
again, and hit’s the ground once again compliments of another hip
toss.. The Guyver gets a running shot and delivers a hard kick to
the
back of the Fallen Angel’s head.]
Phil: Ouch!
Did you hear that?
Steve: What do you
think Phil?
[The
Guyver taunts the Fallen Angel for a minute, grabs him, and pulls him
up only to be hit with a low blow that the referee didn’t see.
The
Guyver bends over in pain as any man would that gets hit in that
region. The Fallen Angel grabs the Guyver, tucks his head under
his
arm and hits him with a DDT. The Fallen Angel jumps up to his
feet,
grabs the ropes, and yell’s out to the crowd. The Guyver
definitely
isn’t done yet as he quickly sneaks behind the Fallen Angel, and roles
him up really fast. The Referee counts .. ]
1...
2...
NO!!!
Steve: The Fallen
Angel better concentrate on his opponent or he is going to get beat
before he even realizes it.
Phil: You aren’t
kidding Steve. He needs to take care of The Guyver before he
taunts the fans.
[The
Guyver, and The Fallen Angel are both on their feet staring at each
other. The Guyver smiles, and shakes his finger at The Fallen
Angel.
The Fallen Angel waists no time, and goes for a spear, but it is
dodged. The Fallen Angel goes through the turnbuckles and hit’s
the
steel post on the outside. The Guyver pulls the stunned Fallen
Angel
the rest of the way in, and places him on the top rope. The
Guyver
climbs the same top rope and hits his finisher "High Alert". The
Guyver pins, and the Referee counts]
1....
2...
3!!!
Phil: What a return for
Guyer in this opening match here in Titans!!
Steve: An what a debut for the Fallen Angel as he replaces the late
Jason.
WINNER: The Guyver
[We cut backstage to the office of Aidan
Morag. Aidan is sitting in his chair behind his desk going over some
paperwork. Suddenly Tyler Johnson and Amphetamine stumble into the
office. Neither can walk very straight as they were just with Derek
Rumpke drinking. Aidan looks up at the two of them. In unison they
speak.]
Ampetamine and Johnson:
You wanted to see ussss?
Aidan: What the
hell do you two think you are doing? Derek Rumpke is a fucking lush, he
can handle a few beers, obviously you two cannot, I am pulling you from
your match tonight. Amphetamine, I suggest you take some leave to deal
with you own shit. Tyler, be ready to fight next week. Next week, Tyler
Johnson, you'll be in the ring one on one with the Fallen Angel. Pull
another stunt like you did this week, you'll be fired! Now get the hell
out of my office, I have better things to do than deal with the likes
of you.
[Just as they exit the
room, Connor MacDaddy enters. Connor takes a seat opposite Aidan.]
Connor: So what are
the plans thus far?
Aidan: I am not
sure right this minute kid. I got to beat Jones tonight and we cna go
from there.
Connor: I'm not
talking about that. I'm talking about the fact that you and I now own
50% of this damn company. Shadow iss planning on making a huge
announcement, what are we going to do.
Aidan: We'll we'll
just have to wait and see what this announcement brings us and decdied
what to do from there. I could care less if the fucking old man chokes
on the damn mic while he's out there. No announcement he is going to
make is going to change how we will run this place.
[Aidan stand up from his
chair and begins to walk from the room.]
Aidan: I'll catch
up with you later, I have a match to prepare for.
Segment One
Phil: Great opening match there,
what a way to kick off Titans on just the right note.
Steve: We’ve still
got better to come though. Next up, for example, we’re going to see the
return to SFT of Derek ‘Rumpke’ Richardson as he takes on our brand new
United States Heavyweight Champion, Nathan Gust.
Phil: That should
be great, but that’s not all. We’ve got Aidan Morag, the SFT World’s
Heavyweight Champion, taking on Cowboy Jack Jones with ownership of
both halves of the SFT World Tag Team Championship, and the right to
pick a new partner, on the line.
Steve: Then in our
main event, we have the SFT Intercontinental Champion, Amy Jo Smyth,
taking on Jared Mayer in a huge non-title match.
Phil: All in all,
we’re set for a huge night of action here on…
[Phil Stevens is
suddenly cut off in mid-sentence by the trademark opening riffs of
‘Click Click Boom’ by Saliva, accompanied by the arena lights going
down and a huge ovation from the crowd in attendance.]
Steve: I’d heard
the rumours backstage folks, but it looks as if they were actually
true. If this music is any indication, The Future is back in SFT, and
these people here tonight sure as hell seem pleased to see them, to say
the very least.
[As the song
builds towards its first chorus, we see two very familiar men making
their way out onto the entrance stage as the noise from the crowd
intensifies with every step that they take. The two men in question
are, of course, ‘The Franchise’ Christian Cage, SFT’s Chief Executive
Officer, and The Dark Wolf, former SFT World’s Heavyweight Champion.]
[Both men are
immaculately attired in slick black suits and dark glasses. Cage is
wearing a white shirt with a blue tie, and TDW has on a black shirt
with silver tie. Silver spotlights swirl around the pitch-black arena
as the music continues to blast out. After a few seconds, one of the
spotlights focuses on Cage and TDW as they begin to make their way down
the entrance ramp towards the ring, the crowd roaring in appreciation
of their every move.]
Steve: I
think it’s pretty clear that these guys are becoming pretty popular
with our fans here.
Phil: Who can
blame them? These guys are smart, funny, and athletically talented.
Everything that you aren’t in fact, Stevie.
[Cage and Dark
Wolf climb up the steps and into the ring, pausing once in there to
gaze around the packed-out arena before each grabbing a microphone,
Cage taking his from Amanda Summers and Dark Wolf being handed one by a
ringside staffer. As they do this, their music slowly fades out and the
lighting in the arena returns to its normal level. Even now, they have
to wait for the crowd to quiet down a little before trying to speak.]
Christian Cage:
Well, I guess you’re as pleased to see us as we are to be us, but let’s
be honest here, when you’re used to watching a show with the likes of
The Guyver and Cowboy Joke Jones on it, any chance to spend a little
time with two real talents is always gonna be appreciated.
Dark Wolf: Now, I’m
sure you’re wondering what the purpose of this is, why it is that I’ve
chosen tonight to make my long-awaited return to SFT and what we’re
both doing standing in this ring wearing suits worth more than
everything that you’re all wearing put together.
Well, I was supposed to be back at the Civil War, but from what I can
understand, my invite kinda got…lost in the post. I’ll be making sure
the person responsible is fired soon enough.
Christian Cage:
Yeah…about that.
Dark Wolf: What
about it?
Christian Cage:
Erm…nothing. Carry on man, carry on.
Dark Wolf: Anyways,
forget all that Civil War crap, I’m back now and that’s what counts.
Why am I back though? Why has The Future re-united after all this time
away? Well, it’s simple.
Christian Cage: You
see, we’ve been looking at things around here over the last few weeks,
and we’ve reached the conclusion that things need to change, and
moreover, that we’re the guys to change them.
Dark Wolf: Starting
right at the top, you got the World’s Heavyweight Champion himself,
Aidan Morag. This is a man who, for every freaking second he holds that
belt, manages to make the likes of Goldeneye and Jack Jones and Venom
look like talented, charismatic wrestlers.
Christian Cage:
No easy feat.
Dark Wolf: Ever
since Aidan took that Championship from me, the reputation of the belt
has fallen completely into the gutter, so I think it’s about time that
changed, hence why I’ve decided to make my return. Shawn Walsh couldn’t
get the job done last week, and from what I hear, Amy Jo Smyth is next
in line and there’s even less chance of her getting the job done than
there was of Walsh doing it. Mind you, if she does win, then it makes
my task of regaining the Title all the easier. For me, and for us in
The Future, it’s pretty much a win-win situation.
Christian Cage: That
ain’t all though. There’s something else in SFT that’s been on my mind
for a little while now, and, as co-incidence would have it, it involves
Aidan Morag as well. As I’m sure you all know, the SFT World’s Tag Team
Championship is the only piece of gold around here that I’ve never
held, it’s the missing piece of the puzzle, so to speak. Of course,
when Shawn Walsh fucked up my knee a couple of months back, I figured
my chance at ever finishing up that puzzle had pretty much gone.
Trouble with that is that I’ve never been one to admit defeat. Sure,
even as I’m standing here now, my knee is fucking killing me, and every
move that I make hurts like hell, which probably makes what I’m about
to do all the more stupid in one respect, but I feel that it needs to
happen and that I’ll regret it if I don’t do it.
So, as of right now, I’m booking myself in a match, this coming week on
Friday Night Inferno!
Steve: What
the hell? Cage surely isn’t in any condition to compete in a match, he
just damn well said so himself!
Christian Cage:
That match will see me face Reno Destiny and Justin Paige, the
so-called ‘Klique’ with the Number 1 Contender’s spot for the SFT
World’s Tag Team Championship at stake!
Dark Wolf: And
that, my friends, brings us right on to the last, and most important
thing that we have to do here tonight. See, when Chris first came up
with this idea, the only question would be who he would team with,
seeing as I’d be too pre-occupied with ripping the World’s Championship
out of Aidan’s pathetic grasp to give this my full attention.
Christian Cage: So,
we made a few phone calls, spoke to a few people trying to find someone
suitable to team with me. As luck would have it though, there was
someone else in that locker room, another former World’s Heavyweight
Champion like myself, who was also looking for a partner to make a run
at the Tag Team belts, so we figured to pool our resources and ensure
that both of us get exactly what we want out of this.
Phil: So who’s he
talking about?
Steve: you could
just shut up and let him tell us, numbnuts.
Christian Cage:
So, without any further ado, allow me to introduce the latest recruit
to The Future, the man who will stand by my side against Paige and
Destiny on Friday night, and the future co-holder of the SFT World’s
Tag Team Championship:
[All eyes turn
towards the entrance stage as we await the arrival of Christian Cage’s
new partner, and after a few seconds of agonizing silence, the answer
to the question on everybody’s lips is provided by the sound of
oh-so-familiar opening notes of ‘Set It Off’ by Audioslave blasting
over the PA System to huge a huge response from the crowd.]
Steve: What the
hell? Does this mean who I think it means?
Phil: Surely not,
it can’t be…but it is!
[The last part of the sentence from Phil Stevens is in response to the
appearance on the entrance stage of the man who will apparently be
teaming with ‘The Franchise’ in his quest for the Tag Team
Championship, ‘The Wildcard’ himself Ace!]
[Ace is clad in a similar style of black suit to Cage and Dark Wolf,
along with a white shirt and gold-coloured tie. He makes his way slowly
down the ramp, soaking up the cheers from the crowds as he approaches
the ring. Ace slides under the bottom rope and shakes hands with Dark
Wolf before embracing Cage as his music fades out.]
[Cage hands his microphone over to his new partner and ‘The Wildcard’
begins to speak]
Ace: Bet
none of you ever thought to see this, huh? I bet there’s not a single
person in this arena who ever thought that they’d see me standing side
by side with Christian Cage, much less as a member of The Future.
It makes perfect sense though, when you think about it, because Chris
and I are in the same situation. Both of us have won everything there
is to win here in SFT, with one exception. Both of us just need to win
the World’s Tag Team Championship in order to complete our own personal
SFT Grand Slams, and both of us, and Dark Wolf for that matter, are
among the premier talents in Strike Fantasy Towers. When you put it
like that, this whole alliance seems pretty much perfect to me.
Christian Cage:
On Friday night, ‘The Wildcard’ and myself take our first step towards
immortality when we take on…
Ace (interrupting):
Chris, these guys we’re gonna be facing on Friday. Are they…you
know…any good?
Christian Cage:
Well put it this way man, these are two people who somehow managed to
lose to, to be beaten by, to be destroyed by a team that contains Joke
Jones. You do the maths.
Ace: And after we
beat them, we get our Tag Team Title shot against Aidan or Joke and
their new partner?
Christian Cage:
That’s the deal man, but I think we can pretty much count on it being
Aidan seeing Joke couldn’t outwrestle a wet paper bag, or worse, Venom.
Dark Wolf: Do we
have any idea who Aidan is gonna pick as his new partner when...sorry,
if…he wins?
[As Dark Wolf says this, Cage leans over and whispers in his ear, then
does the same to Ace.]
Ace: You
sure it’s gonna be him?
Christian Cage:
Absolutely positive. Being the CEO around here has its advantages, you
know.
Dark Wolf: Quite
honestly, I’d be amazed if he can ever get into the ring without a
walking frame these days, so it shouldn’t be any problem for you two.
Christian Cage: I’m
pretty sure we could handle whoever Aidan might have picked, but if he
wants to make it this easy for us, then who are we to argue?
Dark Wolf: For
right now though, we got a few things to sort out backstage, so we’re
gonna leave you guys with the drunk and the school kid for now, but
don’t count on this being the last you see of us tonight…
Steve: Pretty
disparaging way to talk about Gust and Rumpke.
Phil: Do you
honestly think that The Future cares? This is an alliance of three of
the top names in SFT, and I don’t see anyone queuing up to stop them
doing or saying what they like.
Steve: Ay chance
you’ll get your head out of their asses in time to call the next match?
[With that, ‘Click Click Boom’ starts up again as all three men climb
out of the ring and make their way up the ramp towards the locker room,
talking amongst themselves all the way.]
Phil: Huge
announcements from The Future there, targeting both the Tag Team
Championships and the World’s Title, as well as unveiling the legendary
Ace as their newest member.
Match Two Derek "Rumpke" Richardson vs.
Nathan Gust [Standard Match]
Steve: I’m also intrigued by what they said about that not being
the last we’ll see of them this evening. For now though, we’ve got
ourselves another match to focus on, as we see the United States
Champion, Nathan Gust, taking on the returning Derek ‘Rumpke’
Richardson in a non-title match.
Phil: Looks like
Richardson is already waiting in the ring, so let’s send it up to
Amanda Summers and get this thing going.
[Sure enough, Derek
Richardson is pacing back and forth across the ring, a focused look on
his face as he awaits the arrival of the SFT United States Champion.]
Amanda Summers:
Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is a non-title match and is
scheduled for one fall. In the ring, making his long-awaited return to
Strike Fantasy Towers, DEREK RICHARDSON!!!
[Richardson raises his
arms in the air to acknowledge the cheers from the crowd as his name is
announced.]
Amanda Summers: His
opponent, fighting out of Columbia, South Carolina and weighing in at
171lbs, he is the reigning SFT United States ‘Heavyweight’ Champion,
NATHAN GUST!!!
[The
unmistakeable opening notes of Grade 8’s ‘Adrenachrome’ blast over the
PA System as the US Champion makes his way out onto the stage to a huge
roar from the crowd. Gust pauses briefly at the top of the ramp,
saluting the crowd as he raises his US belt above his head. Gust then
sprints down the ramp and slides into the ring, casting a quick glance
at Richardson before climbing onto each of the four turnbuckles in
turn, showing off his gold some more.]
[As Gust climbs the 4th
turnbuckle, we can see Derek Richardson talking to the referee, who
then seems to signal for the bell, even though Gust is still
pre-occupied with playing to the fans.]
[As Gust’s music abruptly
cuts out, ‘The Youth Warrior’ find himself being pulled backwards off
of the turnbuckle and caught totally off guard with a schoolboy
(fittingly enough) roll-up from Derek Richardson...]
1!
2!!
3!!!
[The referee calls for
the bell as Richardson slides out of the ring, taunting Gust as the
United States Champion tried to figure out exactly what has just
happened to him.]
Steve: What the
hell was that? Is the match over already?
Phil: Looks like it
to me. Nathan Gust wasn’t paying attention to his opponent and it’s
resulted in him being on the wrong end of a huge upset here.
[In the ring, Nathan Gust
is angrily remonstrating with the referee about what has just happened
while Derek Richardson heads back towards the locker room with a huge
grin on his face.]
WINNER: Derek Richardson
Match Two Jared Mayer vs. Amy Jo Smyth [Intercontinental
Championship]
[The
lights
lower and “London Bridge (Southern Charm Remix)” by Fergie begins. Red
police lights begin flashing everywhere and spot lights move all over
the crowd like search lights. Amy Jo steps out onto the stage and
throws her arms up. She races down to the ring, wasting no time, and
slides in.
She hangs the IC over the turnbuckle and waits for Jared.]
RW: A part of Amy
Jo must be thankful the IC title is not on the line tonight. Jared
Mayer has to be one of the most formidable opponents anyone in SFT can
face.
JC: You might say
that, but I wouldn’t phase out Amy Jo’s chances.
[“The
Fight Song” – the Slipknot remix begins to play over the PA system and
the lights go in the arena go out. They come back on a moment later and
Lucretia Black is standing behind Amy Jo with her head hung forward.
Strobe lighting begins to flicker as Amy Jo realises this and bounces
around and takes
a fighting stance. Then at the top of the ramp, Jared Mayer slowly
walks out wearing the grotesque mask. He makes his way slowly to the
ring as pyros explode down the sides of the ramp in front of him. When
he reaches the bottom of the ramp, the strobing stops and the lights go
out again. A
few seconds they come back on again and Lucretia Black and Jared have
switched places. Amy Jo goes to kick who she thought was Lucretia,
aiming for her head and barely clips Jared’s shoulder instead!]
RW: That’s some
freaky deaky weirdo stuff going on there.
[The bell rings and Amy
steps back. She hits a dropkick sending Jared into the ropes. He’s left
hung out and she charges again. She hits the clothesline but the
surprisingly agile Jared lands on his feet on the apron. He reaches out
and grabs her hair. He throws her into the turnbuckle, slamming her
face into the title! Lucretia is going ballistic screaming out her
commands at ringside and even jumps up onto the apron herself! Amy Jo
gets back up onto her feet and kicks Jared in between the legs while
the ref is occupied with Lucretia. Jared just stands there for a moment
before slowly looking down at his groin. Without Lucretia’s command,
Jared throws out his leg and kicks Amy Jo between the legs, literally
lifting her off the ground as he does so. There is screaming in
the crowd.]
JC: Amy Jo just
found out the hard way how to easily piss off a bull.
[Jared slowly turns to
Lucretia and sees the referee forcibly handling her. He puts his hand
on the refs shoulder and terrified, he turns around. He closes his
eyes, but eventually peeks open and flinches. Jared just stands there,
towering over him. Behind them, Amy Jo springs into life and limps over
to Jared. She hits a reverse neck breaker and shouts at him to get to
his feet.]
[On the stage, Rayn walks
out. He crosses his arms and watches on intently. He walks to one side
of the stage. Meanwhile, Allisa O’Toole and Megan the Monster walk out
and take to the other side, also watching on.]
RW: I don’t know
what to say… I know professional wrestling is a spectator sport, but
this is bizarre.
JC: Rayn is
obviously here to check out his opponent on Inferno… the remaining
first ladies – perhaps the greatest female veterans SFT has seen – must
be making sure things don’t get out of hand. Amy Jo and Lucretia don’t
look like they’re the best of friends right now.
[Jared limbers up and
gets back to his feet. Amy Jo hits him with a huge slap that sends him
flying back. The fans can’t believe it! She then hits a snap suplex and
follows it up with a standing moonsault. The ref counts two before
Lucretia tugs at his leg and pulls him to the outside. Megan starts
shouting and makes her way to ringside, but Allisa holds her back. They
argue between one another but Allisa eventually convinces her to stay
put.]
[Amy Jo has worked off
the pain and runs into the ropes. She dives in between the ropes and
takes both Lucretia and the referee out! All four of them lie down and
Allisa and Megan slowly make their way down, keeping an eye on Rayn
too, who waves sarcastically to them. Allisa crawls into the ring to Check on Jared while Megan sees if Amy Jo
is okay. As Allisa approaches, he sits upright and looks at her.]
RW: Look! Jared
doesn’t trust Allisa!
JC: No! Wait…
[Jared gets to his feet
as quickly as possible and does so just in time to put himself in
between Allisa and Connor MacDaddy! He hits Jared with a huge spear
that sends him flying!]
JC: REVENGE FOR
INFERNO!
[Connor gets to his feet
and stares at Allisa, full of spite. He points at her and then at Jared
and decides better of it. He leaves the rings, making threats all the
way to the back. Rayn has made his way half way down the ramp but stays
put meanwhile Allisa helps Jared back up to his feet and Does the same
for Lucretia on the outside. Megan helps Amy Jo into the ring and both
leave the referee on the floor. AJ stands in front of Mayer,
emphasising the height and size difference, before whipping him into
the ropes. Megan seems most unimpressed with Lucretia screaming
commands at Jared. Der Sensenmann dodges a side standing kick on the
rebound, jumps into the air and hits her square in the jaw with the
Schwerer Schlag! Megan can’t believe Lucretia told him to do it and
squares her on the outside with a clothesline!]
RW: Uh oh… Looks
like things are getting out of control.
[Allisa slides into the
ring and grabs a microphone.]
Allisa: Stop it!
Everybody, just leave it!
[Rayn, blatantly ignoring
the former President because well, she wasn’t the President anymore,
slides into the ring and goes into nailing a plethora of punches and
knees to the gut. With Lucretia out cold, Jared just takes it. He hits
him with the Impact, sending him to the floor. Allisa runs at him, but
the former president is hit with a DDT for her effort. Megan slides
into the ring followed closely by Lucretia. Megan runs Rayn down with a
flying wheel kick, but he gets back to his feet and they exchange
punches. Lucretia doubles up and the two women start rallying Rayn
between each otherWith vicious slaps. They double Irish whip him into
the ropes but he over powers them with a double clothesline!]
[All of them are on the
floor except for Rayn when little Katja Pitt walks out from the back.]
Katja: Daniel! Stop!
[She looks about ready to
cry as she runs to the ring. The lights at the top of the ramp start to
falter as she slides under the bottom rope.]
Katja: Please
leave them alone!
[More lights start to
falter. Rayn smirks not noticing the lights and kicks Jared hard in the
ribs. The arena plunges into darkness. Instantly, a green light shines
down over the ring and Rayn looks at Katja. He then looks at the
Titantron where a Swastika has appeared! A loud humming, like a swarm
of locusts plays at an unbearable level. Rayn asks Katja again what is
going on but she looks too scared to answer. She runs to Allisa and
Megan and helps them to their feet, then she looks at Lucretia, her own
cousin and it takes a moment, but she helps her up too. The four women
seem to forget any tension between them as they all lift Amy Jo to her
feet. They quickly run out of the ring, leaving Jared who is back onto
his feet.]
JC: WHAT THE HELL
IS GOING ON!?
[Jared looks up the
rafters and then looks at Rayn. Rayn looks quiet and subdued now, yet
still confused. The lights turn back on, but become so bright that the
bulbs explode, plunging the arena back into darkness. The green light
still shines though.]
RW: John, I think
we should get out of here…
[A bolt of lightning
strikes the top of the ramp and then Mayer runs forward, tackling Rayn
sending both of them over the top rope just as another lightning bolt
strikes the ring, causing it to explode and collapse. A slow, maniacal
laugh then shakes the arena. The seven of them take the KO’ed referee
to the back. Security meets them half way and rushes them out to the
back.]
RW: Who was that?
JC: Only one person
could do that…
[Rayn pulls away from
Mayer and forgetting any life saving efforts the huge German may have
just made, Rayn reminds Jared about Inferno… saying it will be his
night.]
Winner: No Contest
[A few minutes later,
Megan, Allisa, Amy Jo, Katja, Lucretia and Jared meet up in the First
Ladies changing room. Amy Jo and Jared sit next together as if nothing
had just happened between them. They all look slightly panicked, but
Allisa does so most of all. The colour had drained from her skin.
Lucretia looked more excited than anything else and the rest were
suspicious of what had just gone down.]
Allisa: Lucretia,
Jared… No matter what you think, it’s not safe for you right now.
You’re not going to be left on your own for a second. Katja, did you
see anything?
Katja: No… I don’t
even think it was him.
Allisa: We’re
getting out of here right now. And come Inferno, we’re going to find
out what happened. No one goes out alone and if you see anything, tell
me. We all think we know who this is, but it doesn’t make sense for him
to attack any of us…
[Jared shoots Allisa a
look and even Megan looks at her suspiciously. It sounded like she was
lying. Lucretia wipes a tear from her eye and nods her head. She was
just happy her King had come back… although she couldn’t help but
wonder what would have happened if she’d been stuck in the ring when
the lightening bolt had struck. Surely, SURELY, she told herself, he
knew she wouldn’t have been in that ring. He loved her. And she loved
Nirvana Jeff King. It had to be him.]
[It just had to be!]
[The scene cuts back to Phil and Steve who are still in shock.]
Phil: Folks
we'll be right back. We still another match to get through andd we need
the ring rebuilt! See you after the commercial break!
Main Event Cowboy
Jack Jones vs. Aidan Morag [Tag Team Championship]
Steve: This is a highly anticipated
match right here. The new co-owner of SFT has challenged his former tag
team partner and other half of the Tag Team Champions to a one on one
for sole possession of the Titles.
Phil: Yeah, the
son of a bitch is already pulling shit. Never in my life have I heard
of something like this before.
Steve: Shut up and
enjoy!
[“Friends
in Low Places” By Garth Brooks plays as Cowboy Jack Jones comes to the
entrance ramp bearing the Tag Team Championship and the Television
Championship. Jones slowly walks to the ring with both belts on his
shoulders. He hands over the Tag Team Title and places the other in the
corner.]
Phil: Jack looks a
little determined here.
Steve: No that’s
sadness. He thought he had friends until Aidan pulled the greatest turn
ever.
[“Number
One Spot” By Ludacris plays over the speakers as the lights dim. Soon
after Aidan Morag walks to the top of the ramp bearing the SFT World
Heavyweight Championship around his waste and his Tag Team Championship
over his left shoulder. The fans are booing like crazy as he stands
there at the top of the ramp smiling. Finally he heads to the ring and
passes off the Tag Team Championship. Aidan unstraps the World Title
and shoves it Jones’s face before handing that over as well.]
Phil: Look at that
son of a bitch.
Steve: Just call
the match, he’ll fire you, you know.
[The bell sounds and
Aidan begins strutting across the ring. Jones is angered by this and
dives for Aidan’s legs taking him down to the mat. Jones pushes himself
on top of Aidan and begins to unleash lefts and rights. After unloading
ten perfect shots to the face of Aidan, Jones climbs off and brings
Aidan to his feet Jones hooks Aidan and delivers a huge suplex!!
Jones goes for the cover…]
1…
NO!!!
[Aidan kicked out before two!]
Steve: It’s going
to take a whole lot more than that to beat the World Champion.
[Jones and Aidan get to
their feet as Jones springboards of the ropes and delivers a running
high knee to the gut of Aidan Morag and follows it with a DDT. Jones
pops to his feet and heads for the top rope. Jones comes off the top
with a leg drop, he hits it perfectly!! Jones covers again…]
1…
2…
NO!!
[Aidan kicks out again!!]
Phil: Hurry up
Jack!! Beat that asshole!
[Jones gets to his feet
and bring Aidan to his. Jones whips Aidan into the ropes, Aidan comes
back ducks a clothesline attempt from Jack, Aidan comes off and ducks
another then stops just behind Jones. As Jones turns he is met with a
standing superkick to the jaw! Jones drops to the mat! Aidan springs
off the ropes nailing a spring board moonsault! Aidan gets to his feet,
dragging Jones with him. Aidan nails Jones in the gut with a few knees
and follows with a gutwrench powerbomb!! Aidan pins…]
1…
2…
NO!!
[Jones Kicked out!!]
Steve: How the hell
did he do that? Jones, stay down!!!
[Aidan gets to his feet
and gets in the ref’s face.]
Aidan: Do something
like that again and you’ll be picking up an unemployment check!
[Aidan shoves the ref
back and turns his attention back to Jones who is already back to his
feet. Jones hits Aidan with a spinning back kick to the gut.
Jones springs off the ropes behind him and hits a hurricanranna on
Aidan!! Jones covers…]
1…
2…
NO!!
[Aidan barely kicked
out!!]
Phil: So Close!!!
[Jones brings Aidan to
his feet and begins to deliver a few rights to his face, Aidan counters
by blocking a right and throwing a left. The two men exchange blows in
the center of the ring before Aidan gets the upper hand and drives a
back elbow into Jones face that sends him into the corner! Aidan stand
a few feet out and hits three consecutive spinning back kicks to the
stomach of Jones! Aidan pulls the limp man out of the corner and hits
the sickening!!! Aidan gets to his feet and climbs the ropes!!]
Steve: Just pin
him!!
[Aidan leaps off hitting
a swanton bomb!! Aidan grabs the fallen Jones and brings him up one
more time, Aidan hooks him and nails a Satan’s Call!! Aidan covers…]
1…
2…
3!!!
Phil:
NO!! Aidan Morag now holds both the Tag Team Championships.
Steve: Yeah, but he
doesn't have afriend in thw place to hand the other one to.
WINNER:
Aidan Morag
Phil: Aidan Morag has done it! He
beats Cowboy Jack Jones to claim possession of both halves of the SFT
World’s Tag Team Championship, and now he gets to name a partner of his
choice.
Steve: Good effort
from the TV Champion, but it just wasn’t enough in the end.
[Aidan puts one tag team
belt over each of his shoulders, and carries the World’s Heavyweight
Championship belt in his left hand as he goes to leave the ring.
Suddenly though, his music cuts off and the arena is plunged into
darkness.]
Steve: What the
hell is this about?
[Suddenly,
we see words forming on the giant video wall above the entrance stage,
in large silver font. As each word forms and then fades away, then next
one takes its place:]
CLICK…
CLICK…
BOOM!
[As
the final word fades out, a huge pyrotechnic explosion lights the
entire entrance stage as the lights in the arena return to normal,
leaving Aidan Morag with a confused look on his face as he stares at
the entrance stage, waiting for something to happen.]
Phil: Aidan, for
God’s sake turn around!
[Standing behind Aidan in
the ring, literally out of nowhere, are the three members of The
Future. Gone are the smart suits of earlier, replaced by jeans and
sleeveless t-shirts. It seems apparent that these men aren’t here to
talk this time around. Aidan slowly turns around out of instinct, only
to be sent crashing to the mat by a vicious clothesline from Christian
Cage, sending the three Championship belts flying across the ring.]
[All three Future members
then proceed to batter the World’s Heavyweight Champion with kicks and
stomps to his head and midsection before hauling him over towards one
of the corners. Dark Wolf then climbs to the top rope as Ace executes a
backbreaker, holding the unconscious Champion over his knee while TDW
crashes down with a leg drop straight to Morag’s throat.]
Phil: Dammit guys,
you proved your point, but enough is enough!
[Unfortunately for Aidan,
The Future don’t seem to agree with Phil Stevens’ assessment as they
drag the Champion to where Christian Cage is waiting in the center of
the ring. Cage nails Morag with a kick to the gut as TDW lays out the
World’s Championship belt near to where Cage is standing. Cage then
underhooks Aidan’s arms and bounces his head off of the World’s Title
belt with his trademark double underhook piledriver, known as the Event
Horizon.]
[Aidan is left
unconscious on the mat, blood pouring from his forehead as Dark Wolf
picks up the SFT World’s Heavyweight Championship belt and raises it
above his head while Christian Cage and Ace do the same with the Tag
Team Championship belts that Aidan has just won.]
Steve: The Future
have just sent one hell of a message to Aidan Morag, Reno Destiny,
Justin Paige and anyone else who tries to get in their way.
Phil: These guys
are clearly serious about what they said earlier, and they’ve showed
here tonight just exactly what they are capable of by absolutely
decimating our World’s Champion.
Steve: Aidan Morag
is slated to defend that World’s Championship against Amy Jo Smyth on
Friday Night Inferno this week, but you have to wonder if he’ll be in
any condition to even make it to the ring after what we’ve just seen.
Phil: You’ll just
have to tune into Inferno on Friday night to see what happens next both
with The Future’s Tag Team Title quest and with Aidan Morag’s reign as
World’s Champion.
Closing
Steve:
Well,
ladies and
gentlemen... it's been fun. We've seen a lot of blood, sweat, and tears
tonight.
Phil:
Alas,
it's all
over.
Steve:
It's
over? I
thought there was supposed to be more.
Phil:
Umm...
we had
all of our matches and stuff.
Steve: Wasn't
there
something big happening tonight?
Phil: Oh,
sorry. Short
term memory. Shadow's announcement!
Steve:
Did
he forget
or some--
[Before he can
finish
talking, "Sanitarium" by Metallica begins to play and the fans go
insane.]
Phil:
Randy... it's
Bryan Statis!
Steve: No,
stupid.
That's Shadow...
Phil: What
happened to
"Wait and Bleed" or "Shoots and Ladders"?
[The lights go out and
as the songs picks up, Shadow appears on the stage in a cloud of smoke
and dim light. Shadow appears before the crowd with a solemn look as
the lights go back to normal. The smoke clears and he raises a
microphone, signalling for the music to vanish.]
Shadow: I
have been
on top of this mountaint for so many years. I have been calling down my
orders and -- very rarely -- I stepped down from the mountaint to
handle things personally. With this Civil War, I handled things
personally. I got together a large force of supporters whom I called
Loyalists. They fought for me and put their careers on the line for me.
To all of the Loyalists -- aside from Aidan Morag -- I thank you. You
all have a very special place in my heart... which makes this very hard
for me to do.
[He pauses for
a moment,
gathering his thoughts.]
Shadow: As
you know,
Connor MacDaddy and Aidan Morag do control fifty percent of Strike
Fantasy Towers. Although we have equal share, the odds are still in
their favor. The extremes those two men went to gain control of this
company made me realize that my days here are numbered. Although my
team won, the balance of power was disturbed when they signed the
contract to legally bind this company to them. Because of an old
friend, I realize I can no longer fight this one alone. Because of an
old friend, I was reminded that I am weak and I need to get myself back
in shape mentally. Because of an old friend, I resign from active duty
as Owner of Strike Fantasy Towers.
[There is an
uproar of
confusion from the fans and announcers.]
Steve: Did
Shadow just
quit?!
Phil: I
sure as hell
hope not...
Shadow:
Though this
company is and always will belong to me and I will always be Owner... I
am going to step down and go into the shadows for some time. I have to
regroup and recharge for the new year.
Steve: He's
leaving
Connor and Aidan in full control! This is bad! Bad, bad, bad!
Phil: Calm
down, John!
Shadow:
Don't think
for one second that I am going to just walk away without a temporary
replacement. I hired that same old friend to step up and handle
day-to-day operations... as well as a new friend.
Steve: Two
people are
taking his place?
[The lights go out and a
phone rings over the speakers. A man's voice is heard:]
"You
have reached the Complex of Superiority."
"Please leave a message and we'll get back to you when we give a fuck."
["Raise Hell" by (hed)
P.E. starts to play and gold strobe lights flash with the beat of the
song. Gold sparks fall from the top of the StrikeTron. Through the
sparks come Nathan Gust and Shawn Walsh. The fans go wild as the lights
come back on. They stand on opposite sides of Shadow with smiles on
their faces.]
Phil: I
can't
believe
my eyes! Shadow is taking a leave of absense... and leaving Gust and
Walsh in charge!
Steve: Four
co-owners?
This is interesting.
[They shake
hands with
Shadow as the music continues to play.]
Phil: That's
all we
have time for, ladies and gents. We'll see you on Friday Night Inferno
to see how Aidan Morag and Connor MacDaddy react to the recent turn of
events!

to
darkness...]
