Fantasy Towers Tuesday Night Titans™ January 16th 2007 Live From the Continental Airlines Arena, Newark, NJ The camera pans across the huge crowd in attendance as a pyrotechnic display lights up the entrance stage. Right around the arena we can see fans waving home made banners in support of their favourite wrestlers and groups, with pretty much all of SFT represented at least once. As the smoke from the pyro blast clears, we cut across to the announce table where we see Phil Stevens and Steve Phillips waiting to get us started:
Phil: Good evening folks, and have we got one hell of a show for you here tonight.
Steve: I can't remember the last time a Titans show was this big! We have 6 huge matches, including 3 Championship matches, all topped off with the biggest SFT match-up of 2007 as we see 'The Immortal Icon' himself, Dave Van Dam, taking on 'The Chosen One' Shawn Walsh for the SFT Heavyweight Championship of the World.
Phil: We're going to kick off tonight with the in-ring return of the newest member of Superiority Complex, the man we saw make his presence felt for the first time in a long time right here on Titans last week, Clayton Walker.
Steve: That's right, and he'll be taking on Felix Bayermann, a man under pressure to impress after his no-show last week.
Phil: Let's send it up to our brand new Titans Ring Announcer, former SFT World's Champion Hardcore Hect, and get this...no, wait, I'm told we're heading backstage before we start the action, so let's get to it.
We cut to the backstage area to see all four members of Superiority Complex standing in the hallway around their locker room door. They seem to be in the middle of a conversation…
Shawn Walsh: All I’m saying is that I can’t remember the last time someone took me to the limit like that. He needs to be in Superiority Complex where the rest of the talent is.
Paige shakes his head, seemingly in disapproval. Justin Paige: …And don’t you think that Legacy might have a problem with this? ”Rayn” and Walker chuckle a bit. Shawn Walsh: Fuck Legacy. The Great Malinko belongs with a group that will appreciate him. Look at who he has surrounded himself with – it’s pathetic. Paige, Walker, and Kalis all nod in agreement. Daniel Kalis: No argument there. Walsh shrugs. Shawn Walsh: We’ll deal with this on Inferno, though. Tonight all of us have something at stake. We need to focus on right now. Walker half-laughs. Clayton Walker: Yeah about your match tonight… What are you going to do? Walsh appears confused. Shawn Walsh: …What do you mean? Clayton Walker: You fired your agent, man. Walsh laughs. Shawn Walsh: Tito? Ha. All he did was carry a mirror. I could get anyone to do that. Walsh looks up and down the hallway, finally spotting someone. He looks back at his fellow Superiority Complex members. Shawn Walsh: Take notes. Walsh looks over at a young blonde woman by a nearby soda machine. As she gets her soda and turns around, Walsh calls out to her… Shawn Walsh: Hey you! The woman looks around and sees no one other than herself. She points at herself as if to ask “me?” Walsh smirks and nods. Shawn Walsh: Yeah, you. Get over here. The woman looks around and reluctantly walks over to the champion. Walsh looks her up and down, studying her. Shawn Walsh: So… You’re hot. The girl stares blankly. Young Woman: Um… Thanks? Paige, Walker, and Kalis laugh at Walsh. Walsh scoffs at them and then looks back at her. Shawn Walsh: So what’s your name? Young Woman: Jayden Morrigan. Walsh nods, keeping his silence for a moment or two. He finally resumes… Shawn Walsh: You would look good coming to the ring with me. You’re my new manager. The girl appears extremely puzzled. Jayden Morrigan: But, I-- Shawn Walsh: Shh shh shh. Don’t worry. I’ll get to know you better later. As for right now all I need to know is… Jayden Morrigan: … Shawn Walsh: Can you push a mirror on rollers? All four members of Superiority Complex chuckle. Jayden simply blinks in response. Walsh smirks. Shawn Walsh: I’ll take that as a yes. Walsh turns and opens the Superiority Complex locker room. Paige, Walker, and “Rayn” take turns entering. Walsh smirks at Jayden. Shawn Walsh: We’re here…. And from now on, so are you. Jayden Morrigan: … She shrugs. Jayden Morrigan: Guess I can’t argue with that. I’m down. She turns and walks into the Superiority Complex locker room. Walsh mumbles to himself… Shawn Walsh: Damn. Easier than I thought.
Walsh takes one last look back and forth down the hallway then enters the room as well, closing the door behind him as we return to Phil and Steve at ringside.
Phil: Wow, it seems like Superiority Complex is on a recruitment drive right now. Clayton Walker last week, and now this Jayden Morrigan already tonight.
Steve: Speaking of Clayton Walker...
Match One:
Steve: Since when did we get a new Ring Announcer anyways? I liked Amanda Summers.
Phil: I guess our CEO felt like a change, and so we get Hect.
Back in the ring, Hect raises his microphone to his lips and begins to speak:
Hardcore Hect: Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your opening contest of the evening, and it is scheduled for one fall, with a 15-minute time limit. Introducing first, from Toronto, Canada and weighing in at 220lbs, CLAYTON WALKER!!!
The lights go out in the arena as the crowd wait in anticiption of Clayton Walker's arrival. 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 begin to boo. As the booing increases, Clayton Walker walks out to greet the crowd. As soon as Clayton realizes they are booing, he flips them off and then walks down the ramp looking strangely at the crowd. 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.
Steve: Something tells me that Mr. Walker doesn't care too much for the fans in attendance here tonight.
Phil: Seems as though the feeling is pretty much mutual to me.
Hardcore Hect: Now introducing his opponent, hailing from...
Hect is cut off in mid-sentence by the unmistakeable opening notes of the GNR classic "Welcome To The Jungle", which can only mean one thing in SFT terms. Sure enough, as the song reaches it's first chorus, the stage is lit by a pyrotechnic blast, and as the smoke clears we can see Strike Fantasy Towers CEO, Christian Cage, waiting at the top of the ramp, clad all in black and with a microphone in his hand. The music fades out as Cage raises the microphone to his lips:
Christian Cage: Ya know, I'm getting really bored of having to do this. Last week I came out and had to announce that both Felix Bayermann and The Guyver had no-showed. It was Guyver's second offence, so he got suspended, but I gave Bayermann another chance, along with a warning not to pull the same shit again.
Guess what though, the little punk saw fit to ignore what I said, and has once again failed to show for his match. I was all in favour of firing him right here on live TV, but I was persuaded against it. What will instead happen is that, on Friday Night Inferno this week, Felix Bayermann will face off against Excidium and Maniac Mike in a Triple Threat match. If he fails to show for that match, he's finished.
As for you though Clayton, I figure that you and your little Superiority Complex friends thought you were being oh-so-clever last week when you got around my ruling about having no interference in the Walsh vs. Ace match. The problem is, all that you achieved was to piss me off, and that's something you probably didn't ought to have done.
Tonight though, you got the win by forfeit, and you also got the rest of the night off, just to make sure there's no outside involvement in the World's Title main event for tonight, so get yourself out of my ring and out of my arena!
Clayton shoots Cage an evil look and then gestures to the referee to raise his arm in victory, which the official grudgingly does. Walker then slides out of the ring and heads up the ramp, pausing at the top for a brief stare-out with Christian Cage before returning to the locker room area.
Steve: Clayton Walker is victorious here in his return to SFT without even breaking a sweat, and it looks like it could be close to the end of the road for Felix Bayermann.
Phil: He's got one last chance to prove himself on Inferno, but I expect to see a lot more chances, and a lot more success, in the not-too-distant future for Clayton Walker, and for all of Superiority Complex.
Steve: After what we just saw, and after the interaction between Christian Cage and Shawn Walsh last week, I think it's safe to say that our CEO might have a thing or two to say about that.
Phil: For now though, let's move onto our next scheduled contest tonight, and one which will hopefully provide more action that the last one did.
Steve: Wouldn't exactly be difficult, asshat.
Phil: We'll be seeing the former World's Champion, and one half of the current Tag Team Champions, Aidan Morag, taking on the returning Justin Paige, who is of course another member of Superiority Complex.
Steve: Let's send it back to Hect...
Before cutting back to Hect, we suddenly find ourselves backstage, in the locker room of the SFT Intercontinental Champion, Amy Jo Smyth, to be precise. Amy Jo is sitting in her dressing room, reading over some papers with a calendar in front of her. Megan walks in, bright and cheery-eyed.
Megan: What’s up, what cha doing?
She plops down next to her on the sofa and looks over the papers.
Amy Jo: Oh, nothing, just counting.
Megan: Counting what?
Amy Jo: Days I’ve been champion.
Megan: What, why?
Amy Jo: I just feel like it.
Megan: You know it doesn’t matter how many days or months you’ve been champion, just that you’ve been champion and held it for more then a few matches.
Amy Jo: I know, it just makes me feel better.
Megan: All right, if you say so.
Suddenly, there is a knock at the door. Megan and Amy Jo look at each other, both shrug in unison. Megan is the first to stand quickly followed by Amy Jo. Megan opens the door slowly, Amy Jo standing behind her, ready to attack. They find nobody standing there, just a giant bouquet of flowers.
Megan: What the fuck is this now?
Amy Jo: I dunno.
Megan: Maybe you have a stalker.
Amy Jo: Ew. Don’t ever say that again.
Megan: Sorry.
Megan reaches down and picks up the flowers. She brings them back into the room and places them on the table, right top of Amy Jo’s papers.
Amy Jo: C’mon then, who are they from?
Megan removes the card and reads it aloud.
Megan: My Dearest Amy Jo. How long I have adored you, how long I have sat watching you from afar. I know how strange this must sound, but I must have you, and soon. Please, do not make me wait. Meet me in the center of that ring Friday night. I will be awaiting your arrival.
Amy Jo: Who signed it?
Megan: Doesn’t say.
Amy Jo: Don’t these people know I’m engaged.
Megan: Apparently not.
Megan hands Amy Jo the card and she looks it over as we return to the arena.
Steve: What the heck was that all about?
Phil: God knows, but I have a feeling I wouldn't want to be in Amy Jo's shoes right now.
Match Two:
The lights fade out slowly as "Number One" By Nelly begins to play over the sound system. Aidan Morag walks out and stands at the top of the ramp receiving a mixed reaction. Over his left shoulder is the SFT World Tag Team Championship.
Hardcore Hect: Introducing first… From the Bronx, New York… He is ˝ of the SFT Tag Team Champions… AIDAN MORAG!!!
Aidan waits for the a few seconds as the crowd quiets down some then continues on his way to the ring. As soon as he climbs into the ring, the lights in the arena fade to almost complete darkness and the voice of a woman comes over the PA.
As she says his name, thunder seems to roll through the arena, shaking the ground as “Waiting to Die” by (hed) pe blares over the arena. The lights flicker with the beat as Justin Paige walks out, Hardcore Title slung over his shoulder. He stands there and extends his arms all the way out to the sides, forming a cross. He poses for a few seconds before slowly walking towards the ring.
Hardcore Hect: And his opponent… From Kansas City, Kansas… Representing Superiority Complex… The SFT Hardcore Champion… JUSTIN PAIGE!!!
As he passes the fans and they try to touch and grab but he shoves them off. He hops on to the ring apron and waits. Suddenly the music dies down and a thunderous voice shakes the arena.
The music comes back to full volume as Paige climbs into the ring and poses on the turnbuckle with the cross again.
Phil: This should be one hell of a match – both men are tremendous athletes.
Steve: Oh yeah.
Aidan and Paige and their titles out of the ring and begin circling one another, eyes locked on each other. They meet in the center of the ring and lock up in a grapple. Paige gets Aidan in a headlock but he quickly pushes him off into the ropes. Paige comes off the ropes and knocks Aidan down with a shoulder bump. He bounces on the ropes again in an attempt to hit an elbow drop but Aidan quickly slides out of the way. Aidan nails Paige with two forearm smashes before Irish whipping Paige into the ropes…Aidan ducks an attempted clothesline from Paige and hits him right in the face with a dropkick! Aidan goes for the pin.
1…
Phil: The former World Champion trying to end things early.
Aidan lifts Paige to his feet and backs him into a corner and begins to deliver vicious chops to his chest. The crowd chants "WHOO!" chants every time Aidan delivers a chop. As Aidan is about to deliver the final chop, Paige ducks under him and to lets loose with a series of lightning quick chops of his own. After a few seconds, Paige stops and taunts the crowd. He takes a step back from Aidan and corner clotheslines him. As Aidan stumbles from the corner, Paige rolls him up into a school boy with his feet on the ropes!
1…
Phil: Cheater!
Steve: Hey, you do what it takes to win.
The referee sees Paige's feet on the ropes as yells at him. Paige gets to his feet and begins to yell at the ref. When he turns around, he is immediately is caught with a cross body from the top rope by Aidan! Aidan gets to his feet and plays to the crowd before bouncing off the ropes and landing rolling thunder! The Tag Team Champion goes for the pin.
1…
Aidan quickly gets to his feet and waits for Paige to get up. When he finally does, Aidan goes for a DDT but Paige arm wrenches out of it and hits a DDT of his own! Paige struts around the ring taunting the crowd, proud of how he took down Aidan. Suddenly, Aidan hops to his feet and looks Paige in the eyes as if to say "Is that all you got?" Paige goes for a right fist but Aidan blocks it. He goes for another and Aidan still blocks it. Aidan finally clotheslines Paige off his feet and when he gets back up he puts him down with another clothesline. Then he charges at Paige…Paige goes to overhead toss him but Aidan comes back down with a facebuster! Aidan goes for the pin.
1…
Phil: So many nearfalls here.
Steve: BAH!
Aidan looks into the sea of fans to receive a mixed reaction. He climbs to the top rope as the fans get to their feet. He taunts, mistakenly giving Paige the chance to get to his feet. Paige charges at Aidan and goes for a tornado ddt but before he can get even hook Aidan’s head, Aidan pushes him off and into the referee!
Phil: Oh no, the referee just took a hell of a bump!
Steve: Har har.
Aidan climbs down from the top rope and checks on the referee as Paige slowly slides out of the ring and over to the time keeper. As Aidan is attempting to revive the ref, Paige pushes the time keeper off of his seat and takes his chair. The crowd boos as Paige trash talks them. He slides into the ring and taunts as Aidan slowly rises to his feet. When Aidan finally turns towards him, Paige goes to hit him with the chair but Aidan ducks and kicks Paige in the groin! He drops the chair and doubles over, holding his groin in pain. The crowd is cheering as Aidan laughs. The referee slowly starts to come to. Aidan makes the cover as the ref starts the count…
1…
Phil: He did it!
Steve: Grr!
Hardcore Hect: And here is your winner… AIDAN MORAG!!!
Aidan climbs to his feet and raises his arms as “Number One” by Nelly blares once more. Suddenly, the music cuts out as we see Jeff King and Ian Wynn running down the ramp!
Phil: This means NOTHING good!
King and Wynn slide into the ring and before Aidan can do anything, he is knocked flat on his back with a clothesline from Wynn. King picks Aidan up and holds his arms behind his back as Wynn begins to relentlessly throw rights and lefts to the face of Aidan. King follows it up by throwing Aidan down on his neck and shoulders with a Full Nelson Suplex.
Phil: They’re doing one hell of a job weakening Aidan for this upcoming Inferno!
Steve: Aidan damn sure won’t be at 100%!
Suddenly Connor MacDaddy bursts out of the locker room with a chair, bolting down the ramp. King and Wynn spot him and slide out of the ring just as he slides in. King and Wynn laugh amongst themselves and make motions of titles around their waists as Connor gets down to check on his fallen partner.
Steve: Talk about winning the battle but losing the war! Aidan Morag picks up the victory, but Wynn and King sure as hell made him pay for it afterwards in advance of their huge non-title Tag Team match on the upcoming Inferno show.
Phil: Speaking of Jeff King....
The crowd begins to shout as the arena goes black and pictures of a morgue appear on the striketron. Pictures of bodies ripped apart, bodies crawling with maggots, etc. As the fans begin to boo a light shines onto the ramp as the pictures on the jumbotron change to a big grey screen. Holocaust by Savatage hits the pa as a beutiful image of a butterfly emerging from it's cacoon appears on the jumbotron. The arena is plunged into gold which flashes into silver every other second, than back into gold. Images of babies being born and people filing into churches and other social places to appear on the jumbotron. First just a child walking, and than a bear attacking a wolf and ripping it's guts out. A sigh is sent out over the pa as white powder begins to call from the arena celing. Soon, the jumbotron shows images of past Jeff King matches from SFT and RWA. Finaly, the last image shown is of Jeff King holding the SFT title above his head after his first world title win. JEFF KING appears on the jumbotron as King walks from behind the curtains, almost immediatly, "Cowboy" Jack Jones runs from behind the curtain and decks Nirvana from behind. Nirvana rolls down the ramp and then Jack picks him up. Jack irish whips Nirvana into the steps, then rolls him into the ring.
Phil: Woah, Jack isn't fooling around, I've never seen him like this!
Steve: El Cowboy seems to hold el grudge.
Phil: Cool it, desparado.
Jones locks up with Nirvana as Jack Jones suplexes King to the mat. Jack runs and bounces off the ropes and does a huge leg drop to King’s throat. King holds his throat in pain. Cowboy Jack Jones looks down at Nirvana and locks in a chokehold. Jones then tries to apply a stretcher hold but looses his grip on King and King rolls Jones up in a school boy pin.
1...
2...
Jones kicks out with authority. Jeff King and Jack Jones are standing in the ring and King runs over to Jack Jones attempting a clothesline but Jones doesn’t budge. King then runs off the ropes again for another clothesline but again Cowboy Jack Jones doesn’t budge. Then King tries a third time but Cowboy Jack Jones catches King with a drop kick to the face.
Phil: Jack Jones seems to show an uncanny amount of resiliance here!
Steve: Yes, El Cowboy is el strongo.
Phil: Indeed, espesially for his small frame at 200 lbs.
Steve: El big thing for el small package... El Cowboy...
Phil: Stop that! You are not mexican.
Steve: Neither are you.
Phil: So?
Steve: Just sayin.
Cowboy Jack Jones goes to a turnbuckle and starts to undo the padding as he takes it off and exposes the metal. Nirvana gets up and Jones goes to Irish whip King into the turnbuckle. King reverses in and sends Cowboy Jack Jones into the turnbuckle as he screams in pain with his back digging into the metal.
Steve: El Cowboy's plan backfired.
Phil: *slap*
Steve: Oww.
Then King grabs Jones’s head and bashes his face off the metal. Breaking Cowboy Jack Jones’s forehead open. Blood starts to gush down Jones’s face as King sets Cowboy Jack Jones in the turnbuckle for a reverse DDT off the ropes. King goes for the pin.
Phil: Jack Jone's is busted open, and now Nirvana is going to get extra ruthless!
Steve: Yeah, it's like that blood fuels Nirvana to kick ass more that a robot build to solely kick ass.
Phil: You are a true wordsmith.
1.....
2....
Nirvana wastes no time and gets up. King is now in full control as he applies an arm lock and puts his knee on Cowboy Jack Jones' shoulder.
Phil: That looks painfull!
King tightens the hold as Jack screams in pain. Cowboy Jack Jones twsits himself around and over King’s leg and somehow miracously is able to kick King away. Jack Jones is slowly up and King is getting up when Jones superkicks Jeff King right in the chin.
Steve: Oh man! That will chip your tooth quicker then giving oral to Johnny Legend!
Phil: You need to stop talking... this match is fantastic, and I am missing it because of you!
Cowboy Jack Jones staggers forward and covers...
1...
2...
Cowboy Jack Jones picks King up and hits a belly-belly suplex, followed up with another, then another BTB suplex. Nirvana is on the ground and Jack looks beat. Jones is climbing the turnbuckles but King is up quickly and catches him at the top and quickly superplexes him all the way down. King gets up gingerly and you can hear him yell with adreniline. King climbs the ropes and flies off with a flying headbutt but Cowboy Jack Jones lifts a foot in time and catches King right in the face.
Steve: Owwwies!
Cowboy Jack Jones grabs King and hits a suplex. But Cowboy Jack Jones is looking a bit sluggish now as you can see this match has taken a toll on him. Jack covers him...
1.....
2.....
Phil: Yeah both men are pretty tired, King barely half assed got his shoulder up in time on that one.
Both men lay on their back catching their breaths, finally Cowboy Jack Jones gets up and hits a leg drop on King but King rolled out of the way. King with a flying clothesline. Cowboy Jack Jones is down.
King off the ropes with a plancha on Cowboy Jack Jones as he stands. King covers...
1....
2....
Steve: No shit.
King gets up and shakes his head. King locks in a figure 4 leg lock. Cowboy Jack Jones is in obvious agony as King pulls on the leg and keeps applying pressure. The ref keeps asking Cowboy Jack Jones if he wants to give up, Jones shakes his head no.
Steve: He just won't quit!
Cowboy Jack Jones screams as sits up and punches King in the knee. Cowboy Jack Jones continues punching King in the knee, which causes more pain for Cowboy Jack Jones but finally the hold is broken. Cowboy Jack Jones gets up limping, King comes running and Cowboy Jack Jones jumps with a round house kick as both men go down hard. Slowly both men get up, each give a weak smile towards each other. They sling themselves against the ropes and fly at each other with Lariats and nail each other at the same exact time.
Steve: Both men are down!
They lay there next to each other for what seems an eternity. King moves a hand, Cowboy Jack Jones moves his head, Cowboy Jack Jones crawls over to King and lays his head and arm on King’s chest as the ref counts...

Nirvana gets to his feet and supports himself on the ropes. Jones manages to get up, and stand dazed in the ring. King somehow springs up, and just a Jack turns to face him, Nirvana hits the Abadox! He falls over Cowboy Jack Jones for the pin...

Steve: What a great match! WINNER - NIRVANA
We cut backstage to see the SFT World Heavyweight Champion, Shawn Walsh ,making his way backstage toward the Superiority Complex locker room, title belt over his shoulder with a cocky swagger in the way he walks. Nothing can touch him…nothing ever has really. This upcoming match wasn’t going to be such a challenge. Last week was just a fluke. Shawn Walsh was better then they were…all of them.
“Good afternoon Mr. Walsh.”
With the door still half open Walsh freezes, preparing himself for what ever ambush the voice may have prepared. He knew that voice, he knew who he ran with, who else would be in there? Allisa? Jared Mayer and Havoc? All of Legacy in it’s back stabbing glory? Throwing the door open the rest of the way and launching himself in the room he quickly found a position where they couldn’t all come at him at once, but was slightly disappointed and relieved at the same time, to find only Malinko sitting in his chair smoking a cigarette.
The Great Malinko: We need to talk you and I.
Shawn Walsh: What? Get the fuck out of my chair. You have no right…
The Great Malinko: I have every right. And the only person I listen to when they tell me to get the fuck out of a chair is my wife, and believe me she’s scarier then you are when she’s angry. Now we need to talk.
Shawn Walsh: Heh, my thoughts exactly.
The Great Malinko: I want a rematch. I want what’s mine.
Shawn Walsh: ...Not exactly what I had in mind... What the fuck are you talking about? The world title? You’ve got another thing coming if you think you’ve earned a shot at that. So DVD helped you win a match that doesn’t earn you the right to lay claims to the world title.
Malinko laughs and takes another long drag of his cigarette.
The Great Malinko: No Shawn, I don’t want your pretty jewelry. I want what’s mine. My win. Perhaps you would like to sit down and discuss this over a cigarette. Oh…I’m sorry that’s right I heard you quit. Looking confused Walsh replies.
Shawn Walsh: What? You won dipshit, and put that out. No smoking in my locker room.
The Great Malinko: On paper yes, it would seem to be that way. But I know that I didn’t win, and you know that you didn’t lose. Our little dance was over long before it even began, thanks to that useless twat you’re facing tonight. I want my match, no DQs, no interruptions, and I want it soon. And I smoke where I want. My wife, remember?
Shawn Walsh: I’m the World fucking Champion. Do you know what that means? You don’t get to challenge me like this. People have earned the right to face me, and fail, you can do the same!
The Great Malinko: Well, you’re the world champion…for now. I left the rest of the pack over there…you know, incase you don’t have the will power to go through with it. You and I aren’t done.
Malinko gets up and walks by Walsh nudging him in the shoulder as he goes by in a challenge, while we head back to ringside.
Steve: What in the hell was that all about?
Phil: I don't know, but what I do know is that we're all set for our second huge Title contest of the night. Hect, it's over to you...
Match Four:
We cut back to Hardcore Hect, waiting in the ring, microphone in hand and ready to announce the participants for the next match.
Hardcore Hect: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following is the first of our three Championship contests here tonight. It is scheduled for one fall, with a 20 minute time limit, and is for the Strike Fantasy Towers Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship!
Introducing first, the challenger for the Title. Fighting out of Greenwich, Connecticut, and weighing in at 275lbs, 'The Superior One' KYLE MURPHY!!!
A burst of pyro explodes at the entrance and "This Fire Burns" by Killswitch Engage blares across the loudspeakers. Kyle Murphy strolls out confidently onto the stage, where he gives a pump of his fist, cuing another pyrotechnic explosion. Kyle laughs before starting on down the aisle, now all business. He walks slowly and purposefully down the aisle to ringside, where he climbs the ringsteps and onto the apron. With a grin Murphy steps between the ropes and into the ring. Inside the ring Kyle goes to the corner opposite where he entered and climbs to the second rope. His face now intense once again, he gestures around his waist and then points both thumbs at himself. Finally Murphy jumps down off the ropes and awaits the arrival of his opponent.
Steve: I think it's pretty safe to say that our Challenger is pretty fired up for this contest?
Phil: You'd have to be a dumbass NOT to be motivated by a chance at the Intercontinental Title.
Steve: This is true.
Hardcore Hect: Now, introducing his opponent. She weighs in at 115lbs and hails from Concord, Georgia. She comes to the ring tonight as the reigning and defending Strike Fantasy Towers Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion, she is 'The Bullet Girl' AMY JO SMYTH!!!
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.
Steve: This is the first of 3 title battles here tonight, and I'm sure it's going to set the tone for what's to come.
Phil: Both look pretty focused, so I think we're all set for a great contest.
Amy Jo hands her Title to the referee, who raises it high in the air before calling for the bell as Amy Jo's music fades away. Both combatants seem to be waiting for the other to make the first move, eventually prompting Kyle, with typcial Murphy arrogance, to turn his back on his opponent and taunt the crowd. While he is doing this, Amy Jo moves behind him and gets into position to blast him with a kick to the gut when he does eventually turn back to face her.
As Kyle is doubled over in pain, Amy Jo bounces off of the ropes and nails Kyle in the back of the head with her trademark "Southern Charm" axe kick, followed by a quick cover:
ONE!
TWO!!
THRE!!!
Phil: What the hell just happened? Did Amy Jo Smyth just beat Kyle Murphy in like 10 seconds?
Steve: What a sensational outcome we've seen here! Amy Jo retains her IC Title, and in some style as well.
Back in the ring, Kyle Murphy is rubbing the back of his head and trying to work out exactly what has happened to him as the IC Champion celebrates in the ring with her belt.
The scene goes backstage. SFT owner Aiden Morag is on a doctor's table recieving medical attention for the attack after his match. Connor MacDaddy walks up to him.
Connor MacDaddy: Hey man, how are you?
Aidan Morag: Are you blind? Why didn't you back me up, man?
Connor MacDaddy: I did!
Aiden Morag: Pfft... too little too late.
Connor MacDaddy: Hey now, I aint done. In fact, see this army of security behind me?
The camera pans out and there are a dozen large men standing behind Connor.
Aidan Morag: Is tonight 'Gang Bang Night' at the MacDaddy household?
Connor MacDaddy: ...no... watch and learn. This is how us old school owners handle problems. Come on, guys.
Connor leaves Aiden and walks down the hall. He walks up to a locker room, on the door it says 'Legacy' in large letters. Connor knocks on the door.
Connor MacDaddy: Open up.
The door opens and The Great Malinko is standing there. He makes eye contact with Connor, and the two stare down.
The Great Malinko: Did somebody order pizza?
Connor MacDaddy: Funny... pack up your stuff fellas. As acting SFT owner, I am ejecting you from the arena.
Ian Wynn stands behind TGM.
Ian Wynn: Sounds like somebody is bitter about his partner getting beaten up.
The Great Malinko: We aren't going anywhere.
Aliisa pushes her way to the front.
Allisa O'Toole: No... it's okay guys. We'll leave after Jared's match, okay? That way, we won't have to hurt any puny security guards.
Connor MacDaddy: You don't make the rules, Allisa... I do. Pack up your things, and get out. Jared can stay here. Hell, I'll be nice and even let Ms. Black and Jared's sister stay with him. Afterall... what harm can a woman do?
Allisa O'Toole: Heh... fine. Get your stuff boys, we are out of here.
The door opens all the way, and The Great Malinko walks out and past Connor. Then Excidium, Then Havoc, then Ian Wynn, then Nirvana, Nirvana stops in front of Connor and the two stare eachother down.
Connor MacDaddy: I was wondering if your cheating ass would show your face here ever again.
Nirvana looks like he is about to deck Connor, but Allisa pushes him, and he walks on. Allisa starts to walk away, but Connor grabs her arm and stops her.
Connor MacDaddy: Hold it. Keep your schedule open... it's about time I set you straight.
Allisa laughs and pushes Connor off of her. Connor watches Legacy be escorted out of the building by security, and then he looks into the dressing room and sees Jared Mayer, Lucrieta Black, and Rosanna.
Connor MacDaddy: Hey, Nazi-boy... you are up next. Good luck, ha-ha!
Connor walks off back to Aidan.
Aidan Morag: That was it?
Connor MacDaddy: You have a lot to learn...
Connor smiles as we go back to ringside
Phil: I don't know what that was all about... but it's time for the United States Championship match!
Match Five:
Staind "For You" begins to play when the lights in the arena turn blue. Jared Mayer walks out from the back. He does not stop or pause and just walks down towards the ring. He is heavily bandaged up, covering his recent stab wounds. Lucretia Black walks out a moment after him holding his US title and follows him down to the ring. She steps back and allows him to climb into the ring.
Phil: Should he even be out here?
Steve: Why? It's not like he was stabbed or anything.
Phil: Uhmm...
Steve: Oh... right.... sorry... anyways, he is Jared fucking Mayer, he can take the occasional stabbing.
Phil: We'll see.
Angry Chair by Alice In Chains plays on the PA as Daniel "Rayn" Kalis comes out from the back. He looks down at the ring and smiles as he sees the wounded Mayer. He runs down the ramp and slides into the ring, as the bell rings and the match starts. Rayn immediatly runs into the Schwerer Schlag!
Phil: Oh my god... almost immediatly, Jared hit one of his signature moves!
Steve: This could be over! Cover him!
After the kick, Jared falls to his knees and clutches his body in pain.
Phil: Oh no, looks like Mayer may have moved a bit too fast, and may have further injured himself.
Jared manages to slowly crawl to Rayn and he goes for the pin.
1.....
2.....
Steve: Rayn kicked out, but it makes you wonder... if Jared was 100% and covered him quicker, would this match be over?
Phil: Nah... Rayn is a tough guy, nobody can beat him this early on.
Jared gets up and leans against the ropes to compse himself. Rayn gets to his feet and meets Jared in the missle of the ring. Jared throws the first punch and backs Rayn into the corner. Jared now has Rayn in a corner and is choking Rayn’s neck. The ref begins to count on the illegal choke. Jared steps off and continues to stay on top of Rayn firing forearms into Rayn’s face as he’s down in the corner. Jared throws eight total forearms at Rayn and when he’s done Rayn’s left eye is black and blue. Jared lifts Rayn to his feet and begins to rake Rayn’s eyes a crossed the ropes. Rayn holds his eyes as Jared goes to whip Rayn across the ring, but Rayn reverses it and reverse monkey flips Jared on the bounce back. Rayn gets up with momentum and as Jared stands up clotheslines Jared over the top rope.
Phil: Jared gets clotheslined over the ropes!
Steve: That can't be good.
Rayn starts to shout at the crowd as Lucreita helps Jared up on the outside of the ring. Ms. Black talks german in his ear, as the ref starts the ten count. Jared is still clutching his body, and by the ref's 8 count, Jared slides back in the ring, but as Rayn approaches, Jared slides back out so he can rest more. Rayn gets fed up and exits the ring. He walks towards Mayer, but Ms. Black steps in his way and Rayn decks her. As Rayn is looking down on the fallen Lurieta, Mayer jumps on him and tackles him to the ground. Jared is throwing his fists all over the place, and Rayn frees himself by quicly jabbing at Mayer's stab wounds. Mayer rolls off in pain.
Phil: C'mon! That's not fair, don't go after the open wound!
Steve: Rayn is a smart man, he can smell Mayer's weakness.
Rayn picks Mayer up and rolls him into the ring. Rayn then gets him to his feet and meets him with a boot to the chest. He then gets down on Jared’ shoulders and begins firing forearms into Jared’ face just Like Jared did earlier. Rayn nails twelve forearms on the jaw of Jared before lifting him up onto his feet and snap suplexing him. Rayn doesn’t let go of the suplex though as he lifts Jared up again into a front face plat suplex.
Phil: My god! Rayn is really targeting those wounds! He just dropped Mayer directly onto them.
Rayn covers Jared and hooks his leg!

2......

Rayn isn’t really surprised as he locks Jared into a rear chin lock. He starts to pull back on Jared as Jared starts firing elbows into Rayn’s gut. Finally Jared stands up with Rayn still holding him and Jared reverses the hold with a drop forward neck crack as Rayn’s chin bounces off of Jared’ shoulder. Jared gets up and so does Rayn and Jared swings at Rayn with a right. Rayn blocks the right and counters with a right of his own. Rayn begins to fire right after right into the face of Jared before finally bringing Jared up against the ropes. Rayn then steps back and runs at Jared to which Jared reverses into a back drop over the ropes. Rayn hits the mat covered floor and rolls back first into the metal crowd barrier.
Steve: Now it is Daniel Kalis flying out of the ring!
Phil: Call him Rayn like everyone else... only his friends call him by his real name... and you sir... don't have friends.
Jared slides out under the bottom rope and lifts Rayn off the floor. He then whips Rayn into the turnbuckle as Rayn bounces head first off the metal pole with a sickening thud. Jared slowly bends down and lifts Rayn to his feet as Rayn has a “glazed over” look in his eyes. Jared tosses Rayn into the ring and we notice a small cut over the black and blue left eye of Rayn. Jared immediately uses this to his advantage as he rakes Rayn’s eyes twice, trying to open the cut further.
Phil: Rayn just got busted open from flying into that metal turnbuckle post!
Jared then runs back into the ropes but as he charges at Rayn, Rayn drops down onto his back and Jared runs over him. Rayn then grabs Jared’ legs, trips him up and rolls up onto Jared’ back into a boston crab hold. Jared is able to quickly get to the ropes and break the hold. As Jared starts to get up Rayn fires a left into Jared’s jaw. He then sets up for a piledriver which is quickly reversed into a back drop by Jared.
Phil: I think Mayer is great an all... but that was the world's worst backdrop.
Steve: Mayer is back on his knees clutching his body, and Rayn is already back on his feet.
Rayn gets right back up from the back drop and clotheslines Jared as he turns around. Rayn then starts to get the upper hand with two stomps followed by a running leg drop. Rayn then grabs part of the bandages around Mayer's body, and begins to unravel them. He then wraps the white bandages around Mayer's neck and beguns to strangle him.
Phil: Rayn is sick! He is choking Mayer with his own bandages!
The ref jumps on and stops Rayn. Rayn then continues taking off Mayer's bandages till there is none left.
