Meltdown 80

[a0161613]

Unscripted​

The crowd is cheering loudly for Show to get to his feet as Powers does not know what to do here. He watches on intently as Show gets to his feet first but Callahan pounces, trying to lock in the Bitter End desperately... but Show rolls out of it. He stands up and so does Callahan: clothesline from Show. Cougar looks to set up the Commercial Break on Callahan but Powers is quick to jump in, looking to save his client from the submission. It was unwise though as Powers gets thrown out to the floor for his troubles, hitting the ground hard thanks to Showtime. The crowd goes wild as Powers is out and Showtime goes for the submission, locking in the Commercial Break successfully and keeping it tight. Callahan has no way of escaping the hold as he tries crawling to the ropes. He grabs the bottom but it does nothing! Show pulls Callahan into the center of the ring and wrenches back, the crowd craving for Drake to tap. He thinks about tapping but just as he goes to, the referee is pulled out of the ring. Callahan taps and Show lets go but no bell is called. He turns around and sees the referee on the outside thanks to Vance Bateman!

Copeland: Damnit! Bateman just cost Showtime the match! He could have won the World championship but Bateman took out the referee! He's going to cost Showtime his career!

Cohen: I never knew Vance had the balls.

Showtime steps out of the ring and approaches Vance, telling him off and questioning as to why he is doing this to Show. Bateman remains silent and tall as Show pushes him back. Cougar forgets about Callahan who slides out of the ring and takes out Cougar from behind, a heavily booing audience shows their disgust for what is taking place. Callahan picks up Show and throws him into the ring. Before he enters the ring, Bateman gives him the World title and smirks. Callahan smirks back and enters the ring, looking to stalk Show. Bateman revives the referee and pulls him back into the ring, then watches on as Callahan waits for the right moment.

Connor: It can't end like this, surely?

Cohen: It's no DQ rules here with the General Manager of Ascension. There isn't much anyone can do about this.

Callahan goes to whack Showtime with the belt... and Show ducks the contact. Drake turns around... sweep by Show again... Commercial Break locked in again! Callahan desperately crawls around but its pointless and before Bateman has a chance to react... Callahan taps!

The crowd is on their feet and roars at the loudest volume for the entirety of the night as Showtime picks up the victory and the referee signals for the bell. The match is over and Bateman cannot believe it! He is disbelief and before he can grab a microphone to over-rule the match, a team of security personnel nab Bateman and escort him out, with Myles and Big Dave watching from the ramp. Showtime is on his knees and holds his hands high in the air in victory.

Harrys: Here is your winner and NEW WZCW World Heavyweight Champion; "SHOWTIME" COOOOOUUUGGAAARRRR!!!

The theme song of the current King for a Day contract holder changes the entire atmosphere and the crowd cannot believe what they are seeing happen and neither can Showtime. He turns to face the entrance way and looks to be ready for a fight, although weary as he may seem.

After a few moments, no-one walks out. Show looks through the crowd to see if Constantine is lurking in the audience... he turns around and sees someone walk out onto the stage. It's not Constantine however and the crowd boos as they see Steven Holmes walk out with a smirk on his face, looking at Show who seems confused. Holmes points to his head, indicating that he is going to get inside the head of Showtime.

We fade away with Steven Holmes and Showtime staring at each other, with no sign of Constantine.

Copeland: Good evening everyone and welcome to Meltdown 80. My name is Sebastian Copeland along side as always Jack Cohen, Jack huge events took place weeks ago at Apocalypse and tonight he begin the new road ahead to Unscripted.

Cohen: And as you know Seabass, the road to Unscripted is always unpredictable and any match up could take place there. A rookie like Krypto or Isabel Stone could face the World Heavyweight Champion for all we know.

Copeland: And we will see the new champion, Showtime David Cougar, here tonight as we teams up with his bitter rival Drake Callahan to take on two opponents who also have been feuding of late, Barbosa and S.H.I.T. We’ll also see the EurAsian Champion Rush in action this round facing WZCW’s newest international superstar, El Califa Dragon, in his debut match here.

Cohen: The Mayhem Championship will also be decided as Connor Reese gets one more crack at the opportunity, taking on Vega who won a number one contenders match before Apocalypse aired. Matt Tastic will also be in action, taking on a familiar face in the returning Mr. Baller, and former Apostles of Chaos members Alex Bowen and Mister Alhazred take on another unique team of Steamboat Ricky and the Grand Mystique!

[YOUTUBE]hWRvUlhrHEM[/YOUTUBE]​

The crowd explodes as Showtime David Cougar walks out onto the stage. He has the WZCW Title over his shoulder and takes it off and lifts it high over his head. Pyro shoots up from the stage behind him and ends on a big loud one as Showtime lowers the title back onto his shoulder and walks down to the ring.

Harrys: Ladies and gentleman, making his way down to the ring, he is the NEW WZCW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION..... SHOWTIME DAVID COUUUUUUUGAARRRR!

Showtime slowly walks up the stairs and climbs onto the top rope. He grabs the title with one hand and raises it up again to more cheers. He drops down from the turnbuckle into the ring and shakes Harrys hand before he hands him the mic. Showtime paces a little around the ring, waiting for the crowd to quiet down in their cheers for him. He looks around the arena with a big smile as the crowd continues to cheer and then speaks when they almost have stopped cheering.

Showtime: At Apocalypse, I didn’t set out to make any records. I didn’t set out to publicly embarrass anyone. I didn’t set out with a mission leave WZCW with the title. At Apocalypse, I went out with the sole purpose in mind of beating Drake Callahan from one side of the ring to the next and winning, and I said that if I was unable to do that then I didn’t deserve to be standing here in this ring tonight. Well as you can see by me being here tonight that I did indeed kick Drake’s ass all around the ring and beat him to become your WZCW World Heavyweight Champion for the second time in my career.

The crowd politely cheers as Showtime continues to speak.

Showtime: The first time I won this belt, it was all for me. This time I’m dedicating this title win to each and every one of you, for always tuning in, for always cheering my name, for always believing in me. It has been a roller coster ride the past two months, winning and losing this belt do quickly. All seemed lost and so did my career, but you all continued to believe that I could overcome the odds and it’s because of you that we did it at Apocalypse. Thank you so much.

The crowd gets really loud and chants “Showtime, Showtime”. Showtime raises the belt once more for applause and then speaks.

Showtime: Now that the dust has settled and the champagne bottle put away, we look on to Unscripted, where my next opponent could be anyone. It could be... Steven... Kurtesy. It could be Steven... Tyler, or Steven... Seagal, heck it could even be Steven Spielberg. My god we could even see the return of Doug Crash...

The crowd boos loudly as Steven Holmes walks out slowly down the ramp. He keeps his eyes on Showtime in the ring. He steps up the stairs and signals for Harrys to bring him a mic. The announcer runs over and hands Holmes a mic and he straddles into the ring.

Holmes: You’re funny Showtime. You think you are a comedian, warming the crowd up to be behind you tonight instead of taking my challenge at Apocalypse seriously. You need to accept my challenge.

Showtime: No I don’t.

Holmes: Yes you do.

Showtime: Nope, I don’t.

Holmes: Yes you do you insignificant pander to the masses. I am the one who has left Big Dave a cripple, I defeated John Constantine causing him to miss extended periods of time and I defeated, no decimated Chris K.O. at Apocalypse and low and behold, he is not on the card this round either. I am next in line for a match, therefore you need to accept it.

Showtime: First and foremost I don’t need to accept anyone’s challenge, especially from Doug Crashin’s former bag carrier. You come out here and demand that I have to fight you. I find that insulting, you don’t come out here and demand nothing. Now if you had simply walked out here and kindly said that you would like to have a match with me, we’d already be brawling right now to see who casts the first stone.

Showtime drops his belt and starts to unbutton his shirt. Holmes backs up a little and then brings his arms up to fight. Suddenly...

Spoiler

[YOUTUBE]3wRreoNRGwk[/YOUTUBE]​

The crowd boos and Drake Callahan walks out quickly with Max Powers who has a microphone.

Powers: No, Showtime you are in no right allowed to accept this challenge. Not until my star client has been granted his fair and deserved rematch. Showtime you should be facing the...

Showtime: Should... that means that Drake doesn’t have a guaranteed rematch in his contract. Now it makes so much sense why you guys wanted a new one signed. Well it seems like Drake better start kissing ass like Holmes should, or be prepared to get his ass kicked again.

Drake grabs the mic from Powers and climbs into the ring.

Callahan: Showtime your win at Apocalypse was a complete fluke. You know that I still have your number and the next time we meet the result will go right back to the norm. Give me a rematch or I’m going to break your neck when you least suspect.

Holmes: Excuse me, you had the opportunity to end his career. You failed, it is my turn to get a shot at the title. I have earned this. I deserve this. I...

Callahan: Excuse me, who the hell said that you could interrupt me.

Callahan paces over to Holmes and gets right in his face. Showtime walks up behind and dropkicks Callahan right into Holmes. the two fall to the mat and Holmes punches Callahan and rolls on top of him. Holmes punches at Callahan, who blocks most of them and then rolls Holmes over and starts to punch him. The brawl ends when...

[YOUTUBE]v_HlVcGKVG4[/YOUTUBE]​

Dave: Gentleman, let’s have some order on my show and not break down into this childish bickering. You both bring up strong arguments to support your cases that you are worthy challengers for the title, and I agree with each of you. However, the PPV that we are about to head into next is Unscripted, which means that no one is just going to be hand given a chance at the title. I say you both are more than qualified challengers, therefore you will earn a shot at the title in two weeks on Meltdown 81. I’m booking a match that’ll have everyone talking and it will include...

???: No, no, you can stop right there.

The crowd boos as Vance Bateman walks out onto the stage.

Bateman: Of course you would want to snap up a quality never before seen matchup like you the one you were about to tell everyone, but the fact is Big Dave, you are not the owner of this company. You are merely in charge of Meltdown, like I am in charge of Ascension, and I’m not going to let you scoop up every good wrestler on the roster. Furthermore, how dare you tell these two individuals that they have to jump through more hoops to get a title match. Drake was robbed of the title at Apocalypse and Steven has decimated everyone in his path, including WZCW’s so called “White Knight”. Fortunately for these two I went straight to the board of directors on this rather than let you monkey everything up, and they unanimously approved that at Unscripted Showtime David Cougar will defend his title against Drake Callahan and Steven Holmes.

The crowd reacts positively to the match and Bateman smiles and laughs, thinking his has one upped Dave. Callahan and Holmes lost pleased with the announcement and both turn back to face the champion Showtime. Dave raises his mic to speak.

Dave: That’s a really good match Bateman, I have to hand it to you, you really know how to give away good match. I also know that the board won’t officially approve the match until I have had a chance to review and comment on it and I think I’m going to suggest a change or two to the match that I think they will like, and one that will work perfectly with my announcement for Meltdown 81. The first change I’m going to make is to the number of competitors. Now the last few years, the main event match at Unscripted has included 4 competitors and I don’t see why that should be any different this year. Now you Bateman have already granted two people to compete in the match, so in keeping with the Unscripted theme, I’m going to have a battle royal in two weeks at Meltdown 81 to determine who the fourth entrant will be at Unscripted.

The crowd cheers and Bateman does not look happy. He air kicks the stage, pissed Dave was able to book such a huge match on Meltdown and he storms off, Dave continues.

Dave: I will be naming the participants later on WZCW.com. As well there will be one more change I’m going to request that I know the board of directors will be behind. I’ll leave that surprise for later as well. Now let’s get Meltdown started.

Dave exits the stage and Callahan, Holmes, and Showtime stare off as Showtime holds the belt up.

Copeland: What a huge announcement we just heard Jack. At Unscripted Showtime will defend his WZCW title against Drake Callahan, Steven Holmes, and a fourth competitor that will be determined in two weeks on Meltdown 81.

Cohen: Plus one more surprise being added to the match that I’m sure all four men will not enjoy. Unscripted is already shaping up to be a big PPV.

Copeland: Tonight's show is already off to an exciting start and it's about to get even more exciting. Up next we will see the return of Mr. Baller, going one on one against an old foe in Matt Tastic.

Scene changes to backstage where we see EurAsian Champion Rush has arrived to the arena alongside Sam Smith. They walk down a hallway until their progress is blocked by Krypto and The Angel have a conversation on religion. The two smaller wrestlers look up at Rush who has a mean look on his face and quickly scurry away. Rush chuckles to himself and then turns back forward where Matt Tastic is seen blocking their way now.

Rush Better run along Tastic. You don't want to hurt yourself before losing to Mr. Baller.

Tastic walks up to Rush, showing that he is not intimidated by him.

Tastic I won't Rush, but I did want to tell you that your days as champion are going to be numbered there. Good luck tonight against another Dragon.

Tastic leaves and Sam Smith goes to jump him, but Rush stops him. He whispers something into his ear as the scene ends.

Harrys: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

[YOUTUBE]hH5uUdWK6m8&feature=player_embedded[/YOUTUBE]​

The crowd pops loudly as Matt Tastic walks out onto the stage. He looks around the audience and then runs frantically into the ring. He climbs onto each corner and raises his arms to the fans.

Harrys: Introducing first, weighing 225 lbs, he is "The Super Saiyan of Pro Wrestling", Matt Tastic!

Matt Tastic hops off the last turnbuckle and turns face the stage ramp.

[YOUTUBE]LwD9GDw6KSU[/YOUTUBE]​

Mr. Baller walks out on stage expecting to be greeted by cheers, but is stunned to hear the crowd booing him. He walks down the ramp and starts yelling at the fans, even going so far as to take some of their signs on the stage ramp.

Harrys: And his opponent, from Miami, Florida, weighing in at 235 lbs, he is "The Can't Miss Prospect" Mr. Baller!

Copeland: Mr. Baller was apparently expecting a warmer welcome from the audience is his return match. Nonetheless, these two should put on an entertaining bout Jack.

Cohen: No argument from me there Seabass. End of 2011, start of 2012, these two faced each other in just about every kind of match, so we should see a lot of reversals. I think tonight in his return though, Mr. Baller will pick up the win.

The bell rings and the two rivals begin to circle each other. Tastic reaches in to lock up with Baller. Baller surprises him with his speed as he arm drags him to the mat. Tastic has the move scouted and quickly rolls back to his feet and arm drags Baller to the mat. The two men get to their feet and Tastic goes for a spinning back fist. Baller ducks the move and grabs Tastic from behind and rolls him backwards into a pin. 1... Tastic kicks out and sends Baller running to the ropes. Tastic stands as Baller jumps onto the middle roles. Game Changer kick misses as Tastic ducks. Baller lands on his feet, turns and runs toward Tastic. Matt bends down and lifts Baller off the ground. Flapjack onto the top rope. Baller stays on his feet holding his neck as Tastic runs towards the ropes. He goes for a lariat, but Baller connects instead with a dropsault. Both men are down on the mat for a moment.

Copeland: Fast paced action to start this match. These two know each other so well that it’s very hard for one to build lots of momentum without the other countering it.

Back in the ring Baller is standing over Tastic and punching him near the ropes. Baller brings Tastic to his feet and goes for an irish whip. Tastic reverses the move. Baller jumps onto the middle rope and goes for a springboard back elbow. Tastic runs past Baller to the same ropes. Baller lands on his feet at centre and bends over to flip Tastic. Tastic sunset flips over Baller and rolls him into a pin. 1... 2. Baller kicks out. Tastic gets to his knees, but Baller has rolled onto his feet and boots Tastic in the face. Baller lifts Tastic up and poses about to go for a swinging neckbreaker. He goes flip Tastic to his beck, but The Super Saiyan of Pro Wrestling slips out. He chocks Baller from behind and hits a russian legsweep. Tastic goes for the cover. 1... 2 Baller kicks out. Tastic and Baller get to their feet at about the same time and lock up. Baller gets his hand up and eye gouges Tastic, breaking the lock up. Baller turns around and runs to the ropes. Tastic waits near the opposite ropes and flips Baller over the top rope. Baller grabs a hand on the ropes and lands on the apron. Baller stands and is knocked off the apron by a spinning back fist. Baller lands on his feet on the outside and holds his face, visibly hurt and angry.

Cohen: Welcome back to WZCW Mr. Baller. Boy that was a shot off the apron, but give the kid credit for still standing after that one.

Copeland: Baller taking a breather on the outside. And now it looks like Matt Tastic is going to bring the fight out there as well.

Tastic slide under the ropes and runs at Baller. Baller beats it around the corner and Tastic chases him around the ring. Baller runs to the steel stairs and leaps over them. He lands on his feet and then leaps into the stairs, pushing them forward as Tastic approaches. Tastic now leaps too late and his knee collides right into the steel stairs as his body flips over and lands on the mat. Tastic holds his knee and looks to be in an incredible amount of pain. The ref rolls out of the ring and checks on Tastic. Baller gives the ref little time to do that and pushes him aside and stomps on Tastic. The ref gets back in there and orders Baller into the ring or he’ll call the match. Baller rolls back into the ring and mockingly poses as the crowd boos him. The ref checks on Tastic who is still holding his knee.

Copeland: I wouldn’t be surprised if Tastic’s knee dented the steel stairs, that’s how hard he hit them. I don’t think this match will be able to continue.

The ref keeps asking Tastic if he is able to continue and Tastic shakes his head no in between deep painfully breaths. The ref goes to call the match anyway and Tastic grabs his arm. He uses it to help himself get to his feet and then pats the refs back for the help. Tastic hobbles back to the ring as the ref looks back.

Cohen: This fight is not over Seabass. Baller just came back, maybe we’re looking at the end of Tastic for a while.

Tastic slides into the ring, but Baller is quickly able to drop an elbow and keep him on the mat. Baller then starts to stomp Tastic as he slowly tries to get back to his feet. Baller steps back and lets him up and then runs to the opposite ropes. Tastic just gets to his feet when Baller hits him with a clothesline. Tastic falls back into the ropes and, fortunately for him, is able to stay on his feet. Baller grabs Tastic head and goes for a bulldog. Baller never actually hits the move as Tastic leg gives out and he simply falls to the mat near centre. Baller stands over and laughs at Tastic. Tastic struggles slowly to get to his feet and Baller runs to the ropes. Baller goes for a clothesline, but Tastic counters into a powerslam. Tastic doesn’t go for the pin and instead uses the time to get up to his feet. He shakes his arms and tenses up as the crowd cheers and gets behind him. Baller gets to his feet and Tastic lifts him onto his shoulders, going for the Headache. Tastic’s leg begins to shake and he has to drop Baller as his leg was about to buckle. Baller jumps onto the nearby ropes. Game Changer connects. Baller walks over to the turnbuckle and dances a little on the spot, excited about putting this match away.

Cohen: Do you hear that Copeland? I think we’re a buzzerbeater away from this match ending.

Baller leaps onto the top rope and goes for the Buzzerbeater. Tastic rolls out of the way and Baller hits the mat. The crowd continues to cheer Tastic trying to will him back into the match. Tastic is almost to his feet when...

Spoiler

[YOUTUBE]RDN4awrpPQQ&ob[/YOUTUBE]​

The crowd boos loudly as the EurAsian Champion walks out onto the stage. Tastic gets to his feet and stares at Rush as he walks towards the ring.

Copeland: The EurAsian Champion making his presence felt right now in this match.

Tastic stands by the rope as Rush nears the ring. Baller is back to his feet and grabs Tastic from behind in a full nelson. He goes to legsweep him, but Tastic is able to flip Baller forward before that could happen. Baller rolls back to his feet and quickly hits a low dropkick, striking the injured knee. Tastic falls down to his knees and Baller gets up and goes behind him and hits a full nelson facebuster. Baller with the cover. 1... 2... 3.

Harrys: Here is your winner, Mr. Baller!

Baller raises his hands and is overjoyed with himself winning. He celebrates like it’s the greatest accomplishment he’s ever done in his career. The crowd boos him as the ref checks up on Matt Tastic.

Cohen: What a win by Mr. Baller in his return match. And I have been told that he calls that move he put away Tastic with, Hit The Showers. Certainly sent Tastic to them in this match.

Baller continues to celebrate until Rush climbs onto the ring apron. Baller high tails it out of the ring as Rush climbs in and stands over Tastic. The ref looks up at Rush and then backs away not wanting to get hit. Rush does not attack Tastic, but merely pushes him with the feet until Tastic has been rolled out of the ring. Rush steps back to the middle of the ring and then raises his EurAsian Championship belt.

Copeland: Tastic put up a good effort against Mr. Baller here tonight. I just hope he is able to recover from whatever damage may have been done to his leg. Rush though is making a statement that this ring is his and until he gets beat I might have to agree with that. Coming up next, Steamboat Ricky teams up with the Grand Mystique to take on Alex Bowen and Mister Alhazred.

*********************************************

We see Sam Smith backstage and he is greeted by Rush returning from the ring.

I am the greatest Eurasian champion there has ever been. I have put a sword through the heart of one Dragon. One more will follow before he even thinks about making an impact. Then next week I am going to celebrate my championship reign with the man who will be the new Elite X champion.

Smith smirks and nods.

On Ascension, I will become the first ever two time Elite X champion. Justin Cooper is going to regret winning his championship because it put him straight in my path and I will not be stopped.

Rush stands and drops the Eurasian championship over his shoulder.

We will not be stopped. Rush and Smith will be the great champions that this company needs when it falls to the ground and this alliance will lead it into the future..

The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall!

[youtube]CkVXQgBKbd8[/youtube]​

Making his way to the ring, from the Crossroads of America, weighing in at 260 pounds. Steamboat Ricky!!

Copeland: “This hero spat on the fans at Apocalypse. What disgusting behaviour and he deserves every bit of this reaction!”

Cohen:“He’s still a hero to me! That’s all that matters.”

Ricky makes his way out onto the stage to a chorus of boos, walking towards the ring and soaking in the taunts from the fans at ringside. He climbs into the ring and warms himself up as he looks towards the entrance ramp.

[youtube]LBeg7CZqSx0[/youtube]​

And his partner, from the deepest, darkest corner of the universe, The Grand Mystique!

Copeland: “And this team is completed by the dastardly Grand Mystique who cheated his way out of a win against Alex Bowen at the pay-per-view!”

The boos continue as the lights in the arena flash on and off, a broad spectrum of colours. When they come on fully Mystique is stood next to his partner in the ring. The tension between the two is clear.

[youtube]FK5YDCsmVSs[/youtube]​

And their opponents, making his way to the ring, from his underground Laboratory, weighing in at 178lbs Mister Alhazred!

Copeland: “The mad professor!”

Cohen:“The bat-shit crazy professor! I mean, he wanted to get in the way of Barbosa and SHIT. Anyone who wants to do that is not right in the head.”

The crowd turns less hostile as Alhazred walks onto the ramp, Power Glove held high in the air, he stops at the base of the ramp, just shy of the apron and begins adjusting the settings on the glove.

[youtube]AZkx91iOUzc[/youtube]​

And from Toledo, OH, weighing in at 247 pounds Alex Bowen!

Copeland: “Another mixed reaction but I think these fans will warm to Bowen and Alhazred because they will fight hard for a win tonight.”

The noise remains a fair mix of boos and cheers as Bowen walks to the ring and when he gets level with Alhazred, they slide together under the bottom rope and into the ring.

Copeland: “Looks like Bowen and Ricky are going to kick things off here. A rematch from Apocalypse!”

Cohen:“Payback for Ricky!”

Bowen and Ricky both strafe around the ring, slowly edging closer together before they begin to trade fierce blows but neither man has an obvious advantage until Ricky makes contact with a boot to the midsection, followed by a knee to Bowen’s lowered head, sending him to the mat. Ricky begins stomping on Bowen periodically taunting him as he tries to stand, only to kick him in the head and send him back to the mat. Ricky is within arm’s reach of Mystique, who tags himself in before running the ropes and sets up for a splash but Bowen avoids it and rolls onto the apron. Bowen slips through the ropes and backs around the ring, baiting Mystique into attacking. Mystique charges at Bowen who tries to dive out of the way but gets caught by an outstretched arm. Mystique continues his forward charge, barrelling into Alhazred on the apron and sending him to the floor at ringside.

Cohen: “Err, good teamwork I think from Ricky and the Grand Mystique!”

Mystique bounces off the ropes and drops a knee on Bowen, before going for a cover. 1... Kickout. Mystique continues to stomp onto Bowen, before lifting him in a prone position onto his shoulders. Alhazred makes his way up onto the apron and hits a huge dropkick to the midriff of Mystique dropping Bowen on his front behind the laid out Mystique. The referee ushers Alhazred out of the ring whilst Bowen gets up and leans over Mystique, who breathes deep and unleashes a blood mist! Bowen stumbles backwards as Mystique gets to his feet. Alhazred is pointing at the incidents from the apron but the referee isn’t interested.

Copeland: “DQ him ref!!”

Cohen:“Nothing happened!”

Copeland: “Are you blind?”

Cohen:“No but Bowen is now!”

Mystique whips Bowen into his corner and goes to suplex Bowen but he gets ‘tagged in’ by Ricky. The masked man drops Bowen and Ricky lowbridges Mystique over the top rope as he confronts his partner. Mystique falls to ringside, the referee turns at the loud slap it creates but acknowledges the tag as Ricky throws Bowen out of the corner and climbs to the top rope. "MAN OVERBOARD!" Ricky yells as he dives elbow first onto the chest of Bowen. He goes for a quick pin but Bowen is thrashing wildly and Ricky cannot get both shoulders to stay down. Bowen manages to get a leg around Ricky’s chest and grabs at an arm, wrenching it.

Copeland: “This is chaotic! Bowen and Alhazred are trying to work as a team but Ricky and GM have no intention of working together.”

Cohen:“But that is OK because the Grand Mystique is better than all three of these guys.”

Copeland: “Sure, that’s why he got himself DQ’d against Bowen the other day.”

Ricky’s shoulders are on the mat as the referee begins the count 1... Ricky gets a shoulder up and reaches across attacking the ribs of Bowen, who gets a boot across and into the face of Ricky, Bowen tries to go for a tag with Alhazred but is heading for the wrong corner, as he reaches the turnbuckle he stands and wipes his eyes clean just in time to see Ricky charging toward him. Bowen manages to get out of the way and dives towards his partner, making the tag!

Copeland: “Alhazred is desperate to get into the match!”

Alhazred wastes no time getting into the ring and over towards Ricky who is recovering in the corner. Alhazred grabs Ricky and drags him out of the corner and to his feet before grabbing the back of his head with one hand and leaping forwards with an explosive bulldog. Alhazred unleashes on Ricky, dropping elbows and knees and leaving his opponent clutching his ribs. He goes for a cover 1... 2... Mystique breaks up the pin and gets in Ricky’s face screaming about not losing because of him. The referee is once again forced to clear the ring allowing Ricky to low blow Alhazred behind the ref.

Copeland: “More cheating! By Ricky this time, this is ridiculous!”

The two men are down in the ring and Ricky is slowly making his way towards Mystique he reaches for the tag but Mystique pulls his hand away and drops to the mat and begins walking up the ramp. Bowen gives chase to Mystique and catches him half way up the ramp and they begin to brawl towards the entrance area, leaving Ricky and Alhazred alone in the ring.

Copeland: “Bowen is giving chase”

Cohen: “Grand Mystique wants nothing to do with this match any more.”

Ricky is distracted but turns and sees Alhazred is already standing, LEVEL 5! Ricky hits the mat and Alhazred goes for a pin

1...

2...

3!!!

The winners of this match: Alex Bowen and Dr Alhazred!

Copeland: “What a hit by Alhazred, Ricky has been knocked out into next week.”

The crowd is going crazy for Alhazred as he celebrates in the middle of the ring, Bowen and Mystique are still brawling, with Bowen at a huge advantage. Mystique has stopped attacking and is focusing on defending himself when referees come out in vast numbers giving him a shield to hide behind, Bowen is continuing his assault around the referees forcing them to grab him and restrain him as Mystique makes a hasty retreat out of sight of the aggressive Bowen.

Cohen: “Bowen has brought a crazed riot to this arena and Grand Mystique is quite right to escape from the madness.”

Copeland: “I think Bowen is not going to be done with the masked maniac.”

***************************************************************

The scene opens up backstage and we see Big Dave on his cell phone. Suddenly, a knocking can be heard at the door off-camera.

Dave: Yeah, hold on a minute.

We see Dave walk over to the door of his office and open it. He is shocked to see that Krypto is standing there with a Bane mask over his head and a Jack O' Lantern bucket in his hands. He holds it out like a child does and bears what appears to be a smile behind his mask.

Krypto: Trick or treat!

The camera pans around and we see a look of confusion and disappointment on Dave's face. The camera pans back around to Krypto.

Krypto: Can I have a title shot?

The camera pans back around to Dave.

Dave: No.

With that, Dave shuts the door and now the cameraman is left outside with Krypto. Krypto shrugs.

Krypto: I thought all humans celebrated Halloween.

The camera stays on Krypto for a moment and we are able to see Saboteur and Saxton appear at the end of the hallway. However, upon noticing that Krypto is in the hallway, they turn back around and go the other way.

The camera fades out on the disappointed Krypto.

***************************************************************

We see a split screen of Barbosa and SHIT walking backstage, Barbosa has a fierce look on his face while SHIT has a repetitive droning voice coming his head.

Destroy Barbosa! Destroy, Destroy!

Barbosa is turning over countless boxes as he trawls through the backstage area. It's clear that they are both searching for one another. We see Big Dave arrive in the wake of Barbosa and the GM shakes his head and walks off.

Harrys: This match is for Mayhem Championship and will be contested under Mayhem rules

Once the singing begins a reddish yellow light, the color of the sun, slowly illuminates the stage showing Vega standing there with his long and swaying trench coat. His head is slightly tilted and he's donning a sly grin on his face, soaking in the moment before walking down the ramp. Vega jogs up the the steps and gracefully enters the ring. He whips his arms down, allowing his long trench coat to slide off his shoulders and down to his hands before whipping it right out of the ring.

Harrys: Introducing first, from Las Vegas, Nevada weighing 175 pounds, Vega!

Copeland: Vega has looked very impressive over the last few weeks. What an opportunity for this man, Vega.

Cohen: He’s a known conman and has stolen victories in the past. Reese might be bigger and stronger but that’s not a guarantee that he could overcome Vega’s craftiness.

[youtube]sEXHeTcxQy4[/youtube]​

Copeland: Connor Reese has plenty to prove; and if he wins the title tonight it’ll be one more thing to add to his resume.

Cohen: Now this kid has been impressive looking these past few weeks; if he wins can anyone say that he isn’t one of the best in the company?

Connor Reese walks out with a full suit on and microphone in his hand.

Reese: Cut the music.

The crowd boos as Reese continues to speak.

Reese: All of you should of cherished my last match on cable television, because that was the last time that you will ever see me compete on free TV!

The crowd boos at Reese.

Reese: Not only that, but they insult me my making me face the Aftershock scrub, Vega. I don't even care if it is for the Mayhem Title. I am not paid enough to be in such a low profile match like this. Especially against someone so unproven like you.

Reese points down at the ring as the crowd boos. Not in defense of Vega, but at his general sour attitude.

Reese: Don't worry, though. I understand that Vega still wants a fight. And there is still a title to be won. So, I have a stand-in for me tonight Vega. I'll give you one opportunity to leave before my friend comes out here.

The camera shows Vega in the ring with him shaking his head no. Reese drops the microphone on top of the ramp and mouths the words "I warned you"!

Heil... Das... Kaizer!

[youtube]zfzZdSxkzMw&bpctr=1351559558[/youtube]​

Copeland: What? Wilhelm Wunderbar!

Cohen: This is fantastic, Seabass! He’s like a bigger and stronger version of Vega. The conman’s in for a rough match tonight.

The German national anthem starts to play as Wilhelm walks to the ring ignoring the audience and speaking to himself in German. He passes Connor Reese on his way back up the ramp and the two shake hands. When he enters the ring he climbs a turnbuckle facing his back to the audience and opens his waistcoat. After climbing down he hands his coat to an official and gets ready to wrestle.

The two men start off in the center of the ring engaging in a stare down. They both know what’s on the line, and that’s the Mayhem championship. The outside of the ring has been decorated with various different weapons, but instead of going right for them the two decide to lock up. Vega uses his speed to keep out of harm’s way; he tests Wunderbar with a couple of Muay Thai kicks but the larger man doesn’t budge. Wunderbar cuts Vega off with a knee to the gut and hits an underarm STO. He picks Vega up and whips him hard into the corner and charges in with a shoulder block. Wunderbar starts to pound away as Vega slumps in the corner. He chokes Vega against the ropes with his boot, but the referee cannot do anything about it.

Wunderbar exits the ring and begins throwing an assortment of weapons into the ring. The grabs two chairs and throws them in, he throws in a kendo stick, and sets up table on the outside. He rolls back into the ring and picks up one of the chairs. He takes a swing at Vega but the smaller man ducks and kicks the chair back into his face. The conman takes the chair and jabs it into Wunderbar’s midsection before slamming it down on his back. Wunderbar falls to the mat as Vega continues to take control. He peppers Wunderbar with a barrage of MMA strikes and kicks but the larger man shoves him away. Vega charges back with a dropkick which slams Wunderbar backwards head first into the turnbuckle.

Copeland: Both guys are really giving it all they’ve got here. There’s only so much punishment that the human body can take; who’s going to succumb first?

Cohen: Even though he’s at a disadvantage, never count out Vega. The man’s a thief and a con artist; he will find a way to steal this match.

Vega grabs the kendo stick and twirls it around before hitting Wunderbar over the head. The larger man slumps against the ropes, trying to guard against Vega’s onslaught. Wunderbar finally manages to grab the kendo kick and overpowers Vega, pushing him backwards. He cuts Vega off with a head butt and wretches the kendo stick away. He strikes the smaller man in the back as Vega cries out in pain. Wunderbar repeats the maneuver, hitting his opponent with enough force to split the kendo stick. He picks Vega up and whips him into the ropes. Instead of bouncing back Vega hangs on and baits Wunderbar into charging forward. He low bridges the ropes at the last moment which sends the larger man tumbling over the top. Vega runs, bounces off the ropes, and follows up with a baseball slide through the middle rope which slams Wunderbar up against the barricade.

Vega pulls back the ring apron and reaches down trying to find any weapons to use. Suddenly his eyes widen as he feels something but instead of pulling the object out from under the ring, he switches position and uses his legs to kick the unknown object to the adjacent corner of the ring. He gets to his feet but Wunderbar blindsides him and cuts him down with a clubbing blow to the back. He picks Vega up onto his shoulder and drives him headfirst into the corner post. Wunderbar throws the smaller man into the barricade and knees him in the face. He tries to drive him down onto the mat outside, but Vega counters and hits a low blow. He grabs the unknown weapon from under the ring and fiddles with it as Wunderbar rushes forward. Vega reveals a fire extinguisher and sprays Wunderbar directly in the face with a cloud of chemicals. Vega takes the opportunity and nails a vicious roundhouse kick.

Copeland: My God! It was a fire extinguisher! I was wondering what he was trying to conceal.

Cohen: I keep saying that Vega is as crafty as they come; mark my words he’ll be the next Mayhem champion.

He rolls Wunderbar back into the ring and grabs one of the chairs. He stalks the larger man and drives the tip of the chair down into his ribs. Blinded by the chemicals from the fire extinguisher and seething in rage, Wunderbar is a sitting duck. Vega continues to smack his opponent with the chair, eventually denting it across Wunderbar’s back. He tries to go for an early pinfall…

1…

But Wunderbar gets the shoulder up without much difficulty. Vega locks in an armbar and tires to wretch Wunderbar’s shoulder out of socket. With no rope break Wunderbar tries desperately to break the hold, and manages to roll forward and frees himself. He lifts Vega to his feet and whips him into the ropes and hits a shoulder block knockdown. He tries for another, but Vega ducks and uses his momentum to whip Wunderbar into the corner. He tries to clothesline the larger man over the top rope but he hangs on and drags Vega out of the ring with him. Wunderbar quickly regains control with a straight punch to the face and whips the smaller man back first into the steep ring steps.

Wunderbar lifts the top of the steps off the base and tosses them aside. He lifts the stairs and tries to drive them into Vega’s skull, but he dodges and hits a drop toe hold driving Wunderbar head first into the steps. Vega takes control and delivers a series of vicious forearm strikes, as Wunderbar begins to bleed. Vega tosses the stairs to the side and tries to place Wunderbar on top of the table, but the larger man fights him off. Wunderbar charges forwards and hits the European uppercut followed by Panzer DDT. He lifts Vega and lays him on the table. He climbs to the tope rope and wipes the blood from his brow. He throws himself off the top with a variation of the rebound splash and drives Vega right through the table on the outside. The referee begins to count, and makes it to seven before Wunderbar starts to stir.

He grabs another table from underneath the ring and shoves it in; he rolls inside and sets the table up in the corner as Vega stirs on the outside. Wunderbar grabs him by the hair and tries to pull him into the ring, but the smaller man slingshots him; Wunderbar stumbles backwards as Vega leaps up onto the ropes and balances on the top. He leaps off and nails a flying thrust kick sending Wunderbar crashing to the mat. He slumps against the corner as Vega follows up with a number of stiff kicks. Vega grabs a chair and lays it down in front of him. Wunderbar tries to fight back, but Vega rakes his face. He floats over the larger man and hits an unorthodox DDT on top of the chair. He goes for the pin, as the referee counts…

But Wunderbar kicks out again. Vega takes the chair and wraps it around Wunderbar’s arm and stomps on it. He applies another armbar as Wunderbar screams in pain. He punches the smaller man in the face and finally manages to free himself. Vega continues on the offensive and hits a running STO. He tries to whip the larger man into the corner against the table, but Wunderbar counters. He tries to slam Vega through the wood with a corner splash, but he moves out of the way at the last second! It takes everything he’s got in order to stop himself but Wunderbar doesn’t touch the table. Vega nails him with a running drop kick from behind, but the table doesn’t break!

Vega tries to roll him up, but Wunderbar counters and throws the smaller man off. He cuts him down with a shoulder tackle and floors him with an Eagle suplex which flips him over like a pancake. Wunderbar gets behind the smaller man and drives him through another table with a huge German suplex! Wunderbar stands, now covered in a crimson mask, and signals for the end. He grabs Vega and nails the Kaiserplex! Not satisfied, Wunderbar grabs the chair and ties Vega arm up like he had done earlier. He drops down and locks in the Kaiserlock with the arm wrapped around the chair; Vega has no choice but to tap out.

Harrys: Here is your winner Wilhelm Wunderbar!

Wunderbar stands victorious with the Mayhem championship clutched firmly to his chest; to the victor goes the spoils.

Copeland: Amazing! Even though Wunderbar survived everything Vega threw at him, he still had to go through two tables and a chair in order to lose. As a result Connor Reese is the new Mayhem champion.

Cohen: What an unlucky break for Vega; better luck next time kid.

Wunderbar raises the title above his head, but he’s soon cut off by music blaring through the PA system.

[YOUTUBE]v_HlVcGKVG4[/YOUTUBE]​

The Meltdown GM makes his way down to the ring. He demands a microphone and cuts Wunderbar’s celebration short. Big Dave is handed a microphone.

Dave: No!

The crowd cheers at Dave's command.

Dave: I don't care who Connor Reese thinks he is. I will not allow the Mayhem Title to be placed on a non-contracted wrestler! Especially one that was not advertised for tonight's bout.

He takes the title from an enraged Wunderbar.

Dave: If Connor Reese doesn't want to compete for this title, then I will give the shot to someone who will. Next week, we will see an official Mayhem Title match against Vega and

...


Ricky Runn!

The crowd pops at the announcement as Wunderbar screams in dissaproval.

Dave: Tell Reese that if he has a problem, than he should take it up with me. Because I am the only person in authority that makes the final calls on Meltdown.

Wunderbar curses at Big Dave as he leaves the ring with the Mayhem Title. His music plays behind him as he ascends the ramp.

Copeland: Big Dave made the right call; Wunderbar isn’t even under contract.

Cohen: He can’t do that! I don’t care if he is GM; Wunderbar won the match fair and square.

**************************************************************************************

Dave: I’m going to have a battle royal in two weeks at Meltdown 81 to determine who the fourth entrant will be at Unscripted.

The crowd cheers wildly at the thought of a battle royal next week.

Narrator: In two weeks, Meltdown 81 will be host to a slew of participants.

Flashes of images from various WZCW superstars pop up on the screen.

Narrator: All of which will compete for the final spot in the Unscripted 4-Way Main Event for the WZCW World Heavyweight Championship!

We see shots of Showtime, Drake Callahan, Steven Holmes, and then finally we see the WZCW World Heavyweight Championship under a white light in a dimly lit room.

Narrator: And now, in conjunction with WZCW, Big Dave would like to reveal its first confirmed participant.

The screen goes black.

The scene is set in what appears to be an old school gym with a wrestling ring set in the middle of it. Only musty blue light illuminates the gym as it comes through the large windows on the walls. The camera switches to a shot that is a close-up of a chiseled physique. We are unable to see the face of the man, but we see several clips of him performing various moves on another unknown competitor. We see an European Uppercut, a Single-Leg Boston Crab, and then a German Suplex. Finally, we cut to a shot of the muscle-heavy man pulling up a white sleeve on his right arm. It goes all the way up to his shoulder and ends at his wrist.

???: At Meltdown 81

The camera begins panning up the chest of the unknown man.

???: I return with a new arsenal.

Flashes of the man's biceps are shown.

???: It is time to unsheathe the sword.

The camera shows the white sleeve on the man's right arm.

???: The White Knight returns!

The camera pans up and we are shocked to see that the man is none other than Chris K.O. with his White Knight helmet on and a highly updated physique.

The screen goes black.

**************************************************************************
We cut backstage to a camera shot that is at ankle height. It slowly makes its way up and it slowly unveils a being in black robes. Finally, we find ourselves staring at the mask of a new entity in WZCW.

Copeland: Ladies and gentlemen, the debut of El Califa Dragón is next!

 

[a0161613]

Harrys: The following match is scheduled for one fall!

[youtube]RDN4awrpPQQ[/youtube]​

Walking to the beat of the music Rush emerges out through the backstage curtain methodically massaging the palms of his hands. He pauses at the top of the ramp and looks around the arena at the WZCW fans with a focused scowl on his face. He begins to make his way down the ramp to the jeers of the live audience. He makes one complete revolution of the ring before climbing up the stairs and walking on the ring apron, outside the ropes. He pauses momentarily before he steps over the top rope and walks to the center of the ring.

Harrys: Introducing first from Montreal, Quebec, Canada weighing 322 pounds, he is the Eurasian champion Rush!

Copeland: At Apocalypse Rush proved himself to be the undisputed Eurasian champion by besting Black Dragon once and for all.

Cohen: But now he has to deal with this lunatic; how do we know he’s not Black Dragon under a different mask?

[youtube]3MUGAxpI0Bc[/youtube]​

As the music hits El Califa Dragón comes running from the back while nodding his head to the music. He bounces from one side of the stage to other before stopping at the top of the entrance ramp. He looks out at the crowd while nodding his head to the beat once more before sprinting down to the ring and sliding under the bottom rope. He quickly runs over and hops up onto the second turnbuckle, tossing the hood of his robe off as he continues nodding to the music before pointing out to the crowd and yelling out to them.

Harrys: And his opponent from Culiacan, Mexico weighing 180 pounds, El Califa Dragon!

Copeland: The mysterious Califa Dragon makes his debut tonight, and what a mountain he has to climb!

Cohen: I’m not convinced; I hope Rush beats him into the ground.

The two wrestlers circle each other as Rush sizes up the smaller man. Giving up almost an entire foot in height El Califa Dragon shows no fear as he gazes up into the eyes of the giant. Rush motions him to try and hurt him, as Dragon kicks him in the leg. Rush grabs his knee in slight pain as Dragon repeats the move. Irritated Rush reaches out and swats the smaller man away, who flips backwards and bounces off the canvas. Dragon gets back to his feet and again attempts to bring the larger man to his knees. Rush grabs Dragon and chucks him into the corner. He charges in and delivers an avalanche splash engulfing the luchador with his muscular torso.

Dragon slumps to the mat and sticks his head out between the bottom rope as Rush begins to stomp away. The ref intervenes and forces the Eurasian champ to back off. Rush picks Dragon up off the ground but he rolls off the larger man’s shoulder once he picks him up. Dragon tries to shove Rush forward, but he won’t be budged. Rush tries to elbow Dragon off of him, but the smaller man ducks and avoids contact. Dragon baits Rush into trying to catch him and lands a drop toe hold sending the larger man crashing head first into the turnbuckle. Dragon quickly hits a violent flurry of offensive moves, hammering Rush with vicious chops and punches. Seemingly unfazed, Dragon follows up with a roundhouse kick which knocks Rush loopy.

Copeland: Oh man! He is going to feel that one in the morning.

Cohen: That is nothing Seabass. Rush eats those types of kicks for breakfast!

The large man shakes off the offense and grabs Dragon by the neck and shoulders. He picks him up and slams him back against the turnbuckle, and then lifts him up into a military press. Rush doesn’t stall for long and drops him down into the center of the ring. Dragon tries to get to his feet, but Rush taunts him and slaps him over the head. He kicks Dragon in the ribs, lays his body out on the mat, and hits a standing elbow drop. With Rush firmly in control its all Dragon can do to hold off the Eurasian champion. Rush tries for a body slam, but Dragon floats down and chop blocks his knee. Rush staggers forward, and Dragon bounces off the ropes and follows up with a dropkick to the knee, which causes the big man to fall to his hands. Dragon continues the assault and finishes up with a dropkick to the face, which finally grounds the big man. Califa Dragon begins to play to the audience as he readies himself; he bounces off the second rope and hits a springboard moonsault. He goes for the first cover of the match.

1…

But Rush powers out with ease; the larger man gets to feet and cuts Dragon off with a knee to the cut. He pounds away with a series of clubbing forearms which drive the smaller man into the ground like a railroad spike. Rush whips Dragon so hard into the ropes that he actually flies over the top rope and onto the floor. Rush looks unimpressed and makes no effort to follow him to the outside. He casually tries to grab Dragon on the apron, but the smaller man ducks and hangs Rush up on the top ropes. This does nothing but angers the giant as he lungs for the luchador only for Dragon to duck once more and hit a roundhouse sick to the side of the head. Dragon tries to get back in the ring but Rush grabs him suddenly and spins him around. Enraged the big man begins hammering Dragon with a series of punishing forearm clubs across the chest. Dragon’s limb body begins to fall forward but Rush drags him through the ropes and plants him with a sidewalk slam. Rush goes for a cover…

But Califa Dragon shows his resilience by getting the shoulder up. Rush begins to shout obscenities about Black Dragon, and then all masked wrestlers in comparison.

Copeland: Rush clearly thought he should of got the three count there. As nasty as he comes, you have to respect the type of physical specimen that Rush is

He whips Dragon into the ropes and tries to knock him down, but Dragon ducks, bounces off the ropes and goes for a crossbody but Rush catches him in a bear hug. He begins to squeeze the life out of Dragon who looks to be fading little by little. The referee checks his vital signs as his arms drops once. Rush continues to apply pressure as Dragon’s arm drops a second time; on the third test the smaller man starts to show some signs of life. Dragon shoves a forearm into Rush’s face, and then elbows him.

Copeland: El Califa Dragon looks impressive against Rush here; he’s managed to absorb everything the big man can throw at him thus far.

Cohen: Of course he can’t win. If Black Dragon couldn’t beat Rush then how on Earth is this guy gonna do it?

He tries to escape but Rush counters and throws him over his head; Dragon floats over and goes after the knee once more as Rush cries out in pain. Dragon bounces off the ropes but Rush counters with a big boot to the face; he whips the smaller man into the corner and charges in with a corner splash, but Dragon gets out of the way as Rush eats the turnbuckle hard. Wasting little time Dragon uses his speed and stamina to his advantage and hits a dropkick in the corner. Rush staggers forward as Dragon hits a spring board plancha transitioned into a huge DDT.

Copeland: DDT!

He goes for cover, looking for the upset!

But Rush gets the shoulder up. Dragon looks bemused, but doesn’t waver and measures Rush as he gets to his feet. He leaps and tries to go for a hurricanrana, but Rush catches him and plants him with a spine buster. The champ signals for the end as he sets up Califa Dragon for the Rushing Powerbomb. He lifts Dragon up off the mat but the smaller man continues to fight, hammering Rush with all the strength he can muster. Dragon tries to counter into a hurricanrana but Rush counters but ends up stumbling backwards. He drops Dragon on top of the top turnbuckle who manages to kick himself free of Rush’s grasp. The big man stumbles backwards as Califa Dragon leaps from the top and catches Rush with a Tornado DDT driving the big man down on his head again. Dragon rolls into the cover, as the referee counts…

Harrys: Here is your winner, El Califa Dragon!

Rush looks stunned as Dragon quickly rolls out of the ring and backs up the ramp. The Eurasian champion looks absolutely livid.

Copeland: I don’t believe it! El Califa Dragon upset the Eurasian champion in his debut after two DDT’s!

Dragon has sprinted away from the furious Rush who is taking out his frustrations on the ringside furniture while Dragon takes in the acclaim of the crowd.

Cohen: What the hell was that!? Just when Rush rids this company of one menace in a mask, another pops up to take his place!

******************************************

"Where is he?!" Bowen storms through the backstage area. "Come here you masked freak!" As he turns a corner at speed, he turns quickly into Meltdown GM Big Dave.

"Hey Alex." Dave puts a arm across the shoulder of the agitated Mayhem legend.

"Boss, I'm not in the mood. Unless you can give that masked idiot to me on a plate, I'm not interested in chatting."

"Fine. Will Unscripted do for you?"

Bowen is taken aback by the willingness of the MD GM. A smile crosses his scar-ridden face.

"Alex.....Dave."

"Vance, what are you doing on my show?"

"Can't the boss of the superior brand not scout for talent?"

"Of course, but I wouldn't turn up on Ascension without your approval, especially to make announcements that you aren't able to make on your own."

"Did I hear you make a match for Unscripted?"

"Sure did. I'm going to destroy The Grand Mystique."

"Yeah that's not going to happen."

"Of course it will."

"Alex, I have it on good authority that the Grand Mystique has left the building already; you won't find him. But you might find him next week in the Battle Royal that Dave announced earlier."

Vance shakes Alex's hand before giving Dave a cautionary glare.

Harrys: Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for tonight's Main Event! It will be set for one fall, and will be a tag-team match!

[YOUTUBE]kIlTOoa0L2I[/YOUTUBE]​

A cold blue hue overshadows the arena as the mechanical being emerges from the gorilla position. He scans the mixed-reaction crowd with his rotating head.

Harrys: Introducing first, from Mechanical Mecca, weighing 230 pounds, S.H.I.T.!

Copeland: The Mechanical Messiah is here and he is the first of four potent chemicals that are going to stir in tonight's pot.

Cohen: That is right Seabass. We are on the brink of a massive explosion. Look, I think Big Dave is a smart man, but what in the hell was he thinking when he paired up these two teams tonight?

S.H.I.T. has now ascended the ring steps in a very stiff fashion. Before he can fully enter the ring, music blares through the PA system.

[YOUTUBE]WPpDyIJdasg[/YOUTUBE]​

With an impacting charge, Barbosa emerges from the back and slices through the dominant boos from the crowd. He has one mission only tonight: to kick S.H.I.T.'s ass.

Harrys: And his partner, from Bedlam, wei-

The abrupt end of Harry's introduction and the fading of Barbosa's music follow an instant altercation of the two fall outs from Apocalypse. Punches and chops are being exchanged as S.H.I.T. and Barbosa take each other on in the ring! They both grip onto each other's shoulders as they fall to the ground and begin rolling on the floor. Harrys hurdles over them in order to avoid being knocked over. Harrys is finally able to get out of the ring and as his feet hit the floor, music blares.

[YOUTUBE]3rICzu9Wbds[/YOUTUBE]​

Drake Callahan emerges from the back to a huge chorus of boos from the crowd. He mutters profanity at them as he slowly makes his way down the ring. All the while, Barbosa and S.H.I.T. are still tussling in the ring.

Copeland: Well, our former World Heavyweight Champion makes his appearance despite the altercation currently happening between his two opponents.

Cohen: Drake Callahan can come out anytime he pleases Seabass. Midst these three other competitors, he is the cream of the crop. These people in this arena paid their hard-earned money to see Drake Callahan!

Drake finally makes his way to the ringside. He glances at the action in the ring and then looks over to Harrys, who is only a few feet away from him. He swipes his nose and then approaches Harrys. With a force, he swipes the microphone from Harrys' hand. He then raises it to his lips and gets in Harrys face.

Drake: Are you not going to announce me Harrys? Huh? Am I not good enough for my name to grace your puffed-up lips? Huh?

Harrys points at the ring and seems to be trying to explain that the Barbosa and S.H.I.T. situation distracted him. Drake is not amused and shoves Harrys down and against the barricade. A large negative reaction pelts Drake as Harrys crawls away from him and makes his way back to the announcer's booth in a scurry. Drake looks amused in a sick way.

Drake: Ladies and gentlemen!

The crowd boos at Drake's elevated voice.

Drake: Shut the hell up!

The crowd responds with an even heavier coat of boos.

Drake: Let me introduce to you the best in this business-

The crowd boos as Drake slowly begins walking up the steel steps and into the ring.

Drake: Let me introduce to you the best damn wrestler period-

The crowd boos again as Drake has now made it inside the ring. Coincidentally, Barbosa and S.H.I.T. have parted into opposite corners as they take heed of Drake's speech.

Drake: Let me introduce to you the winner of tonight's match-

The crowd boos, and now Drake draws the criticism of Barbosa and S.H.I.T.

Drake: Finally, let me introduce to you, your rightful World Heavyweight Champion-

[YOUTUBE]hWRvUlhrHEM[/YOUTUBE]​

Harrys: "SHOWTIME", DAVID COUGAR!

The camera shows Harrys near the announcer booth with a fresh microphone in hand. We then see a pissed off Drake who has dropped the microphone and prepares to greet his partner coldly in the ring.

With a huge pop from the crowd behind him, Showtime comes out from the back with his newly acquired WZCW World Heavyweight Championship in hand. Pyros shoot out as Showtime slaps the gold he is holding. His pearly whites gleam beautifully as he makes his way down to the ring. "Showtime Showtime" is being chanted as the unrivaled pop in the company ushers him to the ring.

Copeland: Ladies and gentlemen, the true champ is here!

Cohen: How corny can you get Seabass?

The camera shows Drake jumping out of the ring. We see Showtime drop his title and step towards the charging Callahan. Showtime ducks under a running clothesline and quickly turns around to grab Drake by the arm. With a whip of the arm, Showtime throws Drake into the nearby ring post. However, Drake is able to catch himself with his hands and avoids running into it. Drake shakes his head, but he eats the ring post anyway via a dropkick to the back the head from Showtime! The crowd pops at the faint dink that is made by the skull and metal connection. The cameras switch to a shot of the ring, where a referee is trying to separate a resurgent Barbosa and S.H.I.T. altercation.

Copeland: What the hell? The two teams in this match are not concerned with fighting each other, but their own partners.

Cohen: I told you this would blow up in Dave's face!

Suddenly, a herd of referees come out from the back and make their way down to the ring. They split apart and begin trying to divide the two teams from killing each other. The crowd is in a complete buzz as we see Barbosa trying to claw his way past referees to S.H.I.T. in the ring. On the outside, Drake is pushing through referees as he gets a few shots on the restrained Showtime.

Copeland: This isn't a match, this is madness.

[YOUTUBE]v_HlVcGKVG4[/YOUTUBE]​

The crowd pops as Big Dave makes his way out to the entrance ramp with a microphone in hand.

Dave: Hey.

Despite Dave's interjection, the chaos ensues at ringside.

Dave: Hey!

Finally, all four participants in the match stop for a moment. Dave remains at the top of the entry way as he addresses his employees.

Dave: I put you four out here tonight to have a match, not to have a brawl. I had hoped that maybe you four would come to respect a little bit of each other by teaming with one another, but it would seem that I was completely wrong.

Dave rubs his chin as he looks down at ringside.

Dave: So here is what we are going to do. You four are going to get in that ring and we are going to officially have a match. However, I know that none of you will follow proper tag-team protocol. So, I am going to make this match a Tornado Tag-Team Match! And if you know what is good for you, we will have a clear winner tonight! Now get into the ring!

Dave's music begins to play as the four men at ringside seem to finally be compliant with some of the referees.

Copeland: Ladies and gentlemen, Big Dave has just turned this tag-team match into a tornado tag-team match.

Cohen: Not only that, but he demands that there will be a clear winner!

Copeland: Don't go away, we will be right back!

*Commercial Break*

*Commercial Break*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

We are now back to the show and it appears that all of the referees have left the ring except for one. Not only that, but it appears that the teams are actually fighting the other team instead of each other. Showtime has Barbosa in a turnbuckle as he delivers some crisp sounding knife edge chops into the chest of him. Each one draws a reaction from the crowd. We see Drake in a parallel turnbuckle with the foot of S.H.I.T. pressed against his face. The referee finally gets S.H.I.T. to break the hold he has on Drake. S.H.I.T. then steps up to Drake, but Drake responds with an elbow into the face of S.H.I.T. This sends him staggering backwards and Drake pounces on the opportunity. He runs up to S.H.I.T. and kicks his gut in order to pulls his head down into a snap DDT! Drake quickly gets back up to his feet and turns his direction towards Showtime and Barbosa. He glares at Showtime as he has Barbosa in a arm wrench near a turnbuckle. Drake finally snaps out of his glare and proceeds to pick up the grounded S.H.I.T..

Copeland: Welcome back folks. During the break, order seems to have been established between the two teams.

Cohen: And not only that, but check this out.

A video clip is shown in the corner of the screen with the word "Replay" in the bottom right corner. We see the referee calling for the bell and hear it ring. Drake and Showtime are in the same corner inside the ring, but Drake tells him to just stay out of his way. Drake proceeds to walk towards the center, and we see S.H.I.T. facing him on the other side. We see Barbosa use his boot to push S.H.I.T. in the back and into the center of the ring. This act causes S.H.I.T. to walk directly into a devastating big boot from Drake. We hear a "ooh" from the crowd as Drake roars over his own maneuver.

Cohen: That is our champion, folks!

Copeland: You mean former, right?

Cohen: No, I mean rightful.

We return back to the ring action and see Drake crashing down on S.H.I.T. with a sidewalk slam. Meanwhile, we cut just in time to see Barbosa taking down Showtime with an STO. He immediately follows it up by locking in Showtime's head in-between his knees while on the ground. Showtime begins furiously punching at Barbosa's legs as we see Drake looking at the move from the opposite side of the ring. However, he is in no hurry to help his partner. His own wandering eyes are his downfall though as he suddenly feels his arms hooked behind him. S.H.I.T. has him grappled from behind, but rotates the two of them. Drake then feels his feet lifting off the ground as flashes from cameras go off in the arena. S.H.I.T. lifts Drake up for a Tiger Suplex, one of Drake's own moves, and walks backwards enough to land Drake directly on Barbosa!

Copeland: Wow!

The impact from the move causes Barbosa to break the hold, but now Drake is on top of Barbosa. The referee makes the cover, 1....2.Kick Out! Barbosa quickly lifts the shoulder and shoves Drake off of him. He grips his own stomach as he crawls to a nearby corner. It appears that Showtime is doing the same in a nearby corner as S.H.I.T. alone makes it to his feet. He walks over to Drake and grabs him by the arm and drags him to the center of the ring. S.H.I.T. then turns and proceeds to climb a nearby turnbuckle, where neither Showtime or Barbosa are.

Copeland: S.H.I.T. appears to be going airborne for his next assault. Could it be that he plans to hit the Frog Splash?

Cohen: Get up Showtime! Help your partner, Drake!

S.H.I.T. has now nearly made it to the top of the turnbuckle. He is in a semi-crouching stance, as much as a robot can be, on the top. The crowd has perked up from his ascension. However, the crowd perks up even more by a lunging Showtime. He hurdles over the body of Drake and makes his way to S.H.I.T's corner. He climbs up it and meets S.H.I.T. with a punch to the gut. This causes S.H.I.T. to duck his head. The position is prime and Showtime takes advantage of it. A superplex from the top rope and a million flashes in the arena go off as Showtime performs the maneuver on S.H.I.T. and sends him crashing into his owner partner, Drake! S.H.I.T. lands on him hard and lays lifeless over his body. The referee considers this a cover,

A shove!

Showtime gets up in time to shove S.H.I.T. off of Drake.

Copeland: These men are using their opponents as weapons on their own partners. How much more crazier can you get in a match like this?!

Showtime himself is still feeling the impact from his own manuever as he makes it to his feet. He goes to pick up S.H.I.T., but he is met by a swinging neck-breaker from Barbosa! The crowd boos heavily as he makes the cover on Showtime, 1......2....Kick Out!

Barbosa can't believe it as he rises to his feet. He argues with the referee, but quickly decides to take the matter into his own hands. He pulls Showtime up to a hunched-over position and tucks the head. A DDT sends Showtime's head into the mat, but Barbosa keeps hold of Showtime's head and gets them both back up to their feet. Another DDT makes it Duplicity! But wait, he still has a hold of the head!

Cohen: He is going for the third DDT. He is going for Multiplicity!

Barbosa is in position to perform the third DDT, but he stops whenever he notices S.H.I.T. crawling to Drake, who is still on the ground. S.H.I.T. drapes a mechanical arm over Drake for a cover, and this just irks Barbosa the wrong way. He lets go of Showtime and goes over to S.H.I.T. Just after the one count, Barbosa pulls S.H.I.T. off of Drake and up to his feet. The referee tries to stop this friendly fire encounter, but Barbosa ignores him. S.H.I.T. uses this brief distraction to stagger backwards and now finds himself slumped against the ropes. Barbosa approaches him, but S.H.I.T. acts on a whim and ducks his shoulder and catapults Barbosa out of the ring. The crowd pops at this maneuver and then pops even louder as Showtime jumps up and pulls S.H.I.T. into a reverse DDT position. Smack! He nails it!

Copeland: Showtime out of nowhere with his signature move, "Backstage"!

Showtime uses the nearby ropes to gingerly pull himself back up. This attention towards his opponent has completely made him oblivious to his own partner. Boom! A running big foot to the face via Drake sends Showtime flipping over the ropes back-first and crashing into the outside mat. Drake then pounces on the grounded S.H.I.T. and pulls him up into a suplex position. BUT, it is not a suplex, but his own finisher, Hangover! Smack goes the head of S.H.I.T. into the mat, and Drake makes the cover,

3!

Copeland: I don't believe it, Drake stands tall at the end of it all!

Cohen: Yes!

Harrys: Ladies and Gentlemen, here are your winners, "Showtime" David Cougar and .....

The camera shows a disgruntled look on Harrys' face, but then he reluctantly continues.

Harrys: Drake Callahan!

The camera shows Drake walking up the ramp with sweat covering his body. He is praising himself and hand gestures the belt around his waist. We can here him saying, "I am the rightful champion".

The camera shows Barbosa and Showtime both stirring on the outside of the ring with ring officials checking on them, while the referee is checking on S.H.I.T. in the ring.

Copeland: Well, it was a bittersweet victory for our World Champion-

Cohen: But just a sweet one for our rightful one.

Copeland: We witnessed a small sample of what is boiling in WZCW tonight.

Cohen: And let us not forget that the mad man, Steven Holmes, is going to be added to the mix of things come Unscripted.

Copeland: And, we will find out the fourth ingredient in our World Title Match recipe on the next Meltdown. Thank you for joining us, and we will see you next time!

The show ends with a shot of Drake Callahan at the top of the ramp with his music blaring in the background. He is hand-gesturing the belt around his waist.
