Disc 1
The Debut of Showtime David Cougar
Breaking in
Cougar: Welcome everyone to The Show Season 1. I am your own personal guide, Showtime David Cougar, and in the next several hours I will talk to you and show you highlights of my first year in WZCW, from matches to promos to some of my most exciting episodes of my own created talk show that has changed the face of TV. You all know it simply as, The Show. Well folks before I made a name for myself to millions of viewers, I started out much like any Baller, Crashin, or Jones, another face in the crowd trying to stand out amongst the rest. My idea was not to create the most entertaining program on Television, my goal was to take over Television. Here's an early promo from before my debut.
You are turned in to the show. Not just any show mind you, perhaps the greatest show there is. One that few viewers have ever had the distinct pleasure of laying their eyes before and you will all see why soon enough. You see, I've decided that it's time, time I reached for what should, nay, will be mine. I've decided to come here, to WZCW, in front of the millions of viewers watching, and save them all, save them from the garbage that they've been watching. This show you've been watching has been lacking something that few subscribers know. It's not edgy, it's not attention grabbing, it's not even PBS excitement. It has been missing its vital piece, its been missing..... the most charismatic individual to ever graze across the TV screen. It's been missing the living legend that lives among mere supporting wrestlers, it's been missing the ratings grabbing, high flying, scene making, show stealing, best thing to happen since you flipped on the TV and started watching. Ladies and Gentleman, do not be alarmed by the sudden changes to your regularly scheduled programming for they are a good thing. They may be the best thing you ever watched. WZCW, you've been missing me. I am the Show, and that's all you need to know.
Wow, that was me before I even had a debut match with the company. I was quite the cocky wrestler and my ego continued to grow as I was awarded my first contract match. Here is the promo made before my debut match and my subsequent debut in a Fatal 5-way match at Meltdown 19. In the promo, I had originally wanted Leon present, but the camera man... I think his name was Horga, any way, he more than fit into Leon's professional shoes. Just watch.
Screen shot of a multi coloured no signal screen for 3 seconds before camera turns on to reveal a flashy dressed man. His hair is slicked back and he's wearing a very expensive pair of shades. His dark purplish vest is adorned with silver lightning bolts. A smile flashes on his face as he pulls a mic up to his face
We will return shortly with your poorly scheduled broadcasting. Now we bring you the real show with a message for you the viewers. This Thursday, five men, one match, one contract. The fate of the show, the fate of WZCW... the fate of the viewers watching at home rests in the hands of one man. One man willing to be the star, one man willing to do whatever it takes to win, one man who was made to be here. One man... Camera boy, come, come over here for a sec.
The cameraman walks out from behind the camera
Now then, do you know who that person is?
Cameraman: Well...
David Cougar: Of course you know who that man is, that man is the made for TV superstar that you see before you, that man is me, Showtime David Cougar. Now I know what a lot of people are saying, "Showtime, you haven't even debuted yet on WZCW and your out here running your mouth like you're the biggest thing since colour TV." Well, you know what I tell those people Mr. cameraman?
Cameraman: Uhh...
David Cougar: That's right, I tell them, your damn right I'm bigger than colour TV, bigger than HD, bigger than the movie theaters, bigger than the drive-in movie theaters, hell, I'm even bigger than the Obama mania that's been sweeping the US. What people don't understand is I was made to be here. You see, there are two kinds of people out there, those who were born to sit and watch, and those who were born to be the stars and I am one of those guys Monsieur cameraa man. I don't deny my god-given talents, I don't deny that I was put on here to entertain the viewers, the people sitting at home wishing, dreaming that they could be just like me. You're one of those people too, aren't you?
Cameraman: Actually...
David Cougar: Of course you wish you could be like me, Senior camera boy, everyone does... You know what, step aside. You're talking way too much and you're stealing all my air-time so I'll wrap this thing up by myself. Go on, stand over there. Over there. Thank you.
Turns and faces the camera
Anoki, Ace, Trademark, Shakur, you guys think you have a chance of walking out of Meltdown with that contract, but you're wrong. This company, these viewers, this show, has room for only one charismatic TV superstar, room for only one ratings grabbing, high flying, scene making, show stealing, best thing to happen since the birth of television, heck, I might even be bigger than that damn box because it's me that you all watch, me that you program your TV's to see, me that draws in all the ratings. When I walk down the ramp at Meltdown, and stare into the eyes of my four competitors, they will know that they are just the supporting cast and that I am the star. Look it up in your TV guides, Thursday night. The day the show debuts, the day you are all saved from the boring crap you've been watching on your TV's, the day you will all witness history made in WZCW. Ladies and gentleman, I am the Show, and that's all you need to know.
David removes his shades and grabs a white piece of paper and hands it to the cameraman
We will now return you to your poorly scheduled broadcasting,
Begins to walk to the right
but first, a word from a real interviewer.
Passes mic into the hands of Becky as he passes by her and keeps walking
Finish it up babe, read what's on the paper.
Becky squints and reads the paper the camera man is holding
Becky: ..... Showtime David Cougar. Confident he'll score with Becky after his win at Meltdown.

That was highway robbery there, haha. No in my debut Chief Anoki was the better man and deserved the contract, but there was no way that Showtime was not going to be in WZCW. The following Meltdown there was a contract battle royale match, and the Show made sure that his back would be watched.
(Becky is shown backstage preparing to interview Showtime David Cougar. Despite the loss at Meltdown, Cougar appears to be in good spirits)
Becky: I'm here with...
(Cougar moves his finger in front of Becky's lips)
Cougar: No no, sweetie. Introductions won't be necessary. The viewers at home are aware that they are tuned in to the only thing that's worth watching on today's TV's. The greatest thing, since the dawn of time. Yes I'm bigger than the birth of Christ, Santa Claus, the Declaration of Independence, the Super bowl, the Dark Knight movie, the...
Becky: Excuse me, but, umm, what do all those things have to do with wresting?
(Cougar gives her an annoyed stare for interrupting him)
Cougar: I was getting to that. So last Meltdown the lights were on, the camera's were rolling, and the production was all set for the Show's big debut. And let me tell you something, I was impressive out there. I was the star of that match and anyone who tried to take that away from me, paid the price. Just look at Shakur. He tried to steal my spotlight so I took him Backstage, 1... 2... 3..., and then as the match progresed it came down to two men, me Showtime David Cougar..., and Chief Anoki. We put on a epic display of athleticism and skill in that ring. Anoki was amazing, but I was the star. The viewers knew it, the fans paying their hard earned money to see the Show knew it, I shined so brightly in that ring that the little people on Mars could've seen me. And then something happened...
(Cougar removes his shades slowly and looks as if he's about to get really serious, until Becky interrupts)
Becky: Mm hmm, So how do you feel about the winner of that match, Chief Anoki?
(Cougar laughs a bit, but it's clear he's both annoyed and pissed at the question)
Cougar: Well aren't you just the sharpest little wrestling interviewer. You know what, I think I'll finish up this interview on my own, okay? But why don't you just stand to the side and wait for me to finish and afterwards I promise I'll let you hold my mic for a bit, if you know what I mean, okay? Buh-bye. (small wave)
(Turns and faces the camera)
Cougar: Anoki, I congratulate you on your victory last Meltdown, but the simple fact is you stole what should, no, what was mine. The Show made a stellar debut at Meltdown, but was trumped by a man who thinks his 15 minutes of fame will shine brighter than mine. Well let me tell you something, 15 minutes is nothing for the whole damn show, and I will prove it at Meltdown 20, when I will last the full 15 minutes and secure my contract for WZCW. And when I get into WZCW, I will come after you, because there is no star that shines brighter than me, no bigger draw to ever step in front of a camera. Anoki I will prove that your win was nothing more than a one night special. My ratings will rise and yours will fall and I will put out that shine of yours that you think is so much brighter than mine. Come Meltdown, several other superstars will try for their 15 minutes of fame, and some might succeed, but I guarantee you all here tonight, that one person will definitely be standing at the end of the match and that person is me. Ladies and Gentleman, I am the Show, and that's all you need to know.
(Cougar steps back a bit, smiling, before walking to the side and handing Becky the mic)
Cougar: Here you go babe, do your thing.
(Cougar walks away as Becky clears her throat and prepares to speak)
Becky: Showtime...
(The camera is jerked to the side and is shown being pulled by Cougar as he yells at the cameraman and continues walking down the hall)
Cougar: I didn't say the Show was quite finished yet. There's still one more thing that needs to be said.
(Cougar and the cameraman continue walking down the hall till they meet up with another WZCW contract hopeful, Trademark. He is talking on a cell phone, before hanging up to hear what Cougar has to say)
Cougar: I just wanted to remind you that it wasn't me who eliminated you, but Anoki. He stole both our spotlights. I think you and me have a lot in common, we both know exactly what we want. Remember that in our match at Meltdown.
(Cougar walks away now as Trademark contemplates what he just heard)
Becky: I'm here with...
(Cougar moves his finger in front of Becky's lips)
Cougar: No no, sweetie. Introductions won't be necessary. The viewers at home are aware that they are tuned in to the only thing that's worth watching on today's TV's.

(Cougar walks away now as Trademark contemplates what he just heard)
The union of myself and Trademark did guarantee us contracts and endorsement deals with our Showtime-Trademark Productions, but some pretty hard to watch matches. The union lasted a few months with our only highlight being at Unscripted. I use our very loosely as it was a 5-team match for the vacated Tag Team Titles and if you watch closely, I think you'll see Trademark just once during the match. Haha, but before we watch that match, we'll see my promo from before the PPV.
At Meltdown 21
(We see David Cougar march angrily through the curtain, showing the slightest bit of limp in his step and a developing black eye under his left one. He looks ready to explode at any moment as Johnny Klamour approaches)
Klamour: Showtime, Johnny Klamour here. Glad to finally meet you.
Cougar: No autographs.
Klamour: No no, of course not. I just wanted to ask you a few questions.
Cougar: No interviews either.
Klamour: Now look kid, I know your upset, but it's my job to interview the wrestlers and that's what I'm here to do. Now, I just wanted to ask you about your promises you made last week?
Cougar: I SAID NO INTERVIEWS!!!
(Cougar then fakes a punch at Klamour, holding back at the last second as Klamour falls to the floor. Klamour gets up and starts running as Cougar grabs a chair and throws it in Klamours direction, coming up short)
Cougar: Yeah you better run Klamour. Turn that fucking camera off. Give it here.
(Cougar violently grabs the camera from the camera man and throws it against a wall. The lens cracks and static lines shoot across the screen. Cougar's feet are still in view as it lies on the floor. Cougar begins to walk away before turning and kicking the camera square in the lens. Static fills the screen before turning to black.
3 days after Meltdown 21
(Screen shot of a TV. On the TV is one of Cougars promos from before Meltdown 21)
[Cougar: The Show is used to the millions of eyes watching him, he's used to the spotlight pouring down and the weight it puts on all of our thoughts and minds and he remains unfazed by it. The two of you on the other hand will be fazed by it...
Ladies and Gentleman, I am the Show, but you already knew that. See you at Meltdown 21.
End of Act One]
Clap, clap, clap, clap.
(The camera turns upon the sound and we see Cougar sitting in his leather chair. His black eye is still visible and his facial expressions still appeared angered, but he looks calmer and more relaxed now.
Cougar: Wonderful, simply wonderful. And Bateman loved it too. He came across Becky watching it last week and asked her who made it. She was found speechless upon watching it, probably so in-trance by my performance that she couldn't find the words to sum up its greatness. Anyway, Bateman came to me about it, Trademark helped promote and fund it and now we have "The Ringmaster: Showtime edition", A Showtime-Trademark Production. We all agreed The Ringmaster was a better title than The Ring 2, and in under 1 full week it is already the number one sold item on WZCW.com. I owe a special thanks to Ace and Dave for... inspiration.
Viewers, nothing I can say can rectify what I did after Meltdown. It was uncharacteristic of me and in no way showed the proper behaviour that you should expect from stars like me. So without further ado, the very first guest on The Show. Ladies and Gentleman, Johnny Klamour
(Klamour comes out and sits in an identical leather chair right next to Cougar)
Cougar: Klamour, I would just like to apologize for my... well... for you teeing me off as you did last week. It was way out of line for you and now I would like to present you with the opportunity to sit down and interview the Made for TV superstar, Showtime David Cougar.
Klamour: Thanks Cougar. Now firstly, after watching all your promos you've made since arriving with this company, I was blown away and dying to interview the man who says he will change the face of TV. I finally managed to beat Becky to the punch on this one as she still hasn't said much since watching your DVD, great stuff by the way. Now my first question, after all the promises you've been making since your arrival now, I just want to now what happened out there last Meltdown?
Cougar: Johnny, I could come up with a million reasons as to why I lost at Meltdown; the light was in my eyes, I ate something bad, my gang wasn't there to back me up, my cards weren't right, my marine training failed, what I got in my suitcase let me down. These are excuses that my opponents would give, but I'm going to be the bigger man here and not give you excuses. I lost and that's all there is to it. It just wasn't written in the script for me.
But you know how that is Klamour. The audience is always left disappointed. The things they wanted, don't always ever happen. The networks, the big wigs, the producers, they want to store up all the build and all the drama and save it for one big show. I don't want to spoil it all now for my viewers, but that big show could be at our next Pay Per View.
Klamour: Very well, now back to Meltdown. It appears Ace David and Big Dave did a little number on your face. What are your thoughts on that?
Cougar: I said I had no excuses for my match, that still doesn't change the fact that I was viciously assaulted by those two during the match. A normal man wouldn't be sitting here Klamour, he'd be in a hospital bed trying to scramble all his thoughts back together. Ace and Big are nothing but jealous and afraid of me and they made that very clear in the match, attacking and targeting nothing but my head in hopes I would suffer a concussion. You see this black eye, I got booted right on it, punched directly from behind in the back of the head and driven hard to the mat and enziguried right across the left side as well.
They should be fined and suspended for trying to end the career of WZCWs shining star.
Klamour: Now, despite the loss, Bateman still put you and Trademark in the tag title match happening at Unscripted, your thoughts?
Cougar: Like I said last week, Bateman's no fool. He wants WZCW's tag team champions to truly represent WZCW and what better team than Showtime-Trademark Productions. The things me and Trademark excel at, star power and making money, are exactly what this companies want its champions to be. We are the future of WZCW and the future begins for us at Unscripted.
Klamour: Final question, what can we look for from the Show at Unscripted?
Cougar: Well Klamour, remember when I told you that at Meltdown it just wasn't written in the script for me?
As a person who was born to work in front of a camera, I've had to follow scripts my whole life. Well now I am sick of following scripts and waiting for the right moment to rise to the top that I should already be at. I'm taking matters into my own hands and not giving a damn what the script says, I will be writing my own future from here on out.
How ironic then it is that the title of our upcoming Pay Per View is called Unscripted. Things are going to get pretty unpredictable in this match, and unlike what I did to you 3 days ago Klamour, I won't be holding back any punches against my opponents. The things I will be doing to my opponents could not even be written down on any script. I will make them bleed more red than the auto industry has been seeing in recent months. And I will walk out the match, Winner.
Klamour: Anything else you'd like to add?
Cougar: Just one more thing. Ladies and Gentleman, I am The Show. Your next WZCW Tag Team Champion.
Bloodmeat by Protest The Hero hits and TM comes in, the lights are dim, and there are two intersecting blue lights. TM walks out slowly, and does not acknowledge the fans. "Ladies and Gentleman" By Saliva hits and a large screen is in front of the entrance as a lone figure is seen walking towards the screen growing bigger as the opening chords are playing. Then pyro shoots straight up from the end of the ramp to the entrance way, the biggest one at the end as Showtime walks throw the hole in the middle of the screen. Dim blue light fill the arena as a spot light follows Showtime to the ring. Climbs to the second rope on the left turnbuckle on the outside facing in and raises both arms, thumb tips together fingers straight up. Slowly moves his arms down to the side and poses again arms straight to the side clenched fists. Gets off ropes and into ring.
Harrys: And finally, at a combined weight of 447 pounds, the team of TM and David Cougar!
The referee separates the teams into different sections of the pentagonal ring. Christianson and Baker go to the top left, Anoki and USA to the top right, Phoenix and Black to the bottom left, Ace and Dave to the bottom right, and TM and Cougar to the bottom side. All the teams want to be in the ring first, but the referee tells TM and USA to enter the ring, apparently by some predetermined decision. The bell rings for the beginning of the match.
Copeland: And here we go, ladies and gentleman! This is an interesting match up to begin things, as the all-American USA takes on the Japanese-Canadian TM. One has to wonder what USA thinks of this foreigner in WZCW.
Cohen: If I know USA, that bigot probably cant wait to beat up TM. But best of luck with that, as TM is an extraordinary athlete, trained in Japan and with a great MMA background. USA will have his hands full!
USA and TM lock up in the center of the ring. USA, the bigger man, forces TM over to the bottom left corner. The ref calls for a clean break, and USA backs up. Just as TM is about to move, Phoenix slaps him in the back and enters the ring. TM looks enraged, but the ref threatens a disqualification if he doesnt leave the ring. He slides out of the ring and makes his way to his side, visibly upset. Meanwhile, USA and Phoenix have locked up. USAs learned a lesson, however, and pushed Phoenix over to the top right, where his own partner, Anoki, waits. USA hammers down on Phoenix with some big rights, giving no clean break this time. After several shots, Phoenix is dazed, and USA tags in Anoki. USA exits, but keeps hold of Phoenix, keeping him in the corner. Anoki jumps up and hits a dropkick right to the chest of Phoenix, who staggers out. Anoki takes Phoenix down with an armdrag and locks in an armbar in the center of the ring.
Copeland: A nasty armbar there, wearing down the opponent. Anoki may be looking for an early submission.
Cohen: Hell need to do more damage to that arm if he wants to get Phoenix to tap, Seabass.
Not taking any chances, however, Garth Black comes into the ring and kicks Anoki in the head, breaking up the hold. As Anoki staggers up, Black returns to the outside and Phoenix tags him in. Anoki is still staggered and instead of tagging in his own partner, reaches out for Ace David and tags him in instead! Ace rushes in to meet Black, and they trade punches in the center of the ring. After several, the smaller Black is dazed, and whips him into his corner. As Black walks out, Ace gets behind him and nails him with a bulldog! Lying face first, Ace stomps on Blacks foot repeatedly.
Cohen: Now there is smart strategy, Seabass. Not only softening him up for that ankle lock he likes to use, but taking away his ability to get up to the top rope, where Black hits a lot of his offense from.
After some more stomps to the foot, Ace kicks over Black. He backs up toward his own side, and comes out running, dropping a big leg on Black. He goes for the cover, but Black kicks out at two. He picks Black up and goes for a kick to the stomach, looking like a set up for a DDT, but Black kicks the leg. Ace hops, and gets his other leg up right into Blacks head for a big enzuigiri! Ace covers him again but Black kicks out at two. Ace returns to some foot stomping, before grabbing the leg, pulling it up high and dropping it back down. Black grabs his lower leg, in visible pain. Ace grins and poses for the crowd. He stomps on the leg area a few more times. Black turns over and lays on his stomach. Ace jumps up and plants both boots into Blacks back, and Black screams in pain. Ace looks to be enjoying himself now, as he whips Black into his corner. He follows and nails him with high knee in the corner. Ace pushes Black up to the top and hits him a few more times, then hooks him, preparing for a superplex. Black fights back, though, resisting the suplex attempt. Ace goes for it again, but Black holds on. Black breaks out of the hold, punches Ace a few times, staggering him. He shoves Ace off the top, who falls down. Black kicks out with his good leg at Big Dave, who falls to the ground, preventing his interference. Black then raises up slowly, the leg that Ace had been attacking wobbling but holding him up. He straightens, leaps into the air, and connects with a huge shooting star legdrop!
Copeland: Its Black Magic! Black is going to win the tag team titles right here!
The ref counts one, two, but then Kyle Christianson flies into the ring and breaks up the pin, saving the match up. Christianson grabs Ace and pulls him over to his corner, where James Baker tags in. Black, meanwhile, has stood up in the center of the ring, but his leg fails and he falls to one knee. Baker kicks him in the chest a bit, before picking him up. He hooks him and lifts him up, dropping him in a vertical suplex. He plants his boot in Blacks face, and kicks him in the gut. He picks him up and whips him into his corner, where he tags in Christianson. Christianson comes in and places Black up on the top rope, where he follows, leaps, and nails a huge hurricanrana! Black is laid out in the ring, where Christianson follows and hit a standing moonsault! He covers for a one, two, only a two count. Christianson looks frustrated, but stands up, bends over, waiting for a chance to hit The One and Only. Black staggers to his knees, stands up, and Christianson lifts him up, but Black slips out! Christianson turns around, and Black connects with a big enzuigiri! Christianson falls to the mat, as does Black, both facing the same direction the corner of Ace and Big Dave. Both of them stagger slowly over to the same side.
Copeland: Whats going on here, Cohen? They seem to be headed to the same corner, toward the Daves!
Christianson and Black, both dazed, unaware that theyre headed toward the same side. Christianson reaches out and tags in Ace, while Black reaches out and blindly tags in Big Dave! The Daves look at each other for a moment before entering the ring. They move to the center, unsure of what to do. Ace then gets a sly grin on his face, and drops down to the mat! Catching on, Big Dave follows and covers Ace!
Copeland: Wait a minute, wait a minute! Is this legal!
Cohen: Of course its legal! What genius! What innovation! Theyll win right here!
The ref seems unsure for a moment, scratches his head. He then shrugs, realizing its not in the rules that the men in the ring have to be on different teams. A little reluctant, he counts one, two but David Cougar flys off the top rope, dropping an elbow on Big Dave, breaking up the count! Dave rolls to the side, where he tags in Phoenix. Cougar pulls up Ace, whips him into Cougars corner, where he quickly slips out of the ring and tags himself in by tagging Aces leg! Ace turns around to shout at Dave, but Phoenix runs and knocks him in the back! He leans over the rope, where Cougar pulls him out and hits a big neckbreaker right on the floor! Ace looks knocked out on the floor as Cougar returns to the ring. Phoenix rushes Cougar, but Cougar, near the ropes, elevates Phoenix right over the top rope! Cougar stands alone in the ring as he poses for the crowd. Both Phoenix and Ace have staggered to their feet outside the ring Cougar looks at them considers for a moment...then flies out of the ring, taking them both out with a huge suicide dive! All three men are out on the outside of the ring!
Copeland: Oh my God! What a move! What sacrifice Cougar is taking, to walk out of here tag team champion!
Cohen: What a stupid move, Seabass! He did as much damage to himself as he did Ace and Phoenix! They call it a suicide dive for a reason, you know!
Big Dave drops out and shoves Phoenix back into the ring at his corner, where he pulls him up and tags in. He then drops out of the ring and shoves Cougar back in. He covers Cougar, hoping the landing from the suicide dive might have taken him out, but he kicks out at two! Big Dave stands up and looks frustrated, considering what to do next. Cougar staggers slowly to his feet. Big Dave runs and hits a big clothesline, nearly taking Cougars head off!
Cohen: Now you see what stupid moves like that dive cost a competitor! Cougar had the match well in hand, and now hes getting his ass handed to him by Big Dave! Good! He deserves it!
Meanwhile, Big Dave has covered Cougar but only got a two count. He viciously stomps all over the chest and gut of Cougar. Big Dave returns to his corner, where Ace has recovered and is waiting, but he doesnt tag in just yet. Big Dave crouches down, looking for a big spear! Cougar staggers to his feet, dazed, and turns around right into a big spear from Big Dave! He looks at his handiwork for a moment, grinning, then covers him for a one, two kickout! Only a two count as Big Dave looks frustrated. Theres fire in his eyes and he stands up, hands on his knees, clearly waiting for Cougar to get up so he can catch him in something big! Cougar staggers up again, looking around Big Dave lifts him up in the Firemans carry, and PLANTS him with the Stamp of Authority! Cougar is laid out, but Big Dave, instead of going for the cover, tags in Ace, he heads to the top rope and NAILS the Rock Out, a corkscrew moonsault! He goes for the three count as Big Dave watches him, keeping the ring clear... TM tries to save his partner, but Big Dave takes him out, the other opponents arent quick enough to reach Ace as the referee counts one, two, three!
Harrys: Ladies and gentleman, here are your winner and NEW WZCW World Tag Team Champions, Ace David and Big Dave!
Big Dave jumps up and down, celebrating, and embraces Ace as the referee raises their hands! The other opponents drop the outside, nursing wounds and looking sullen, as Ace and Big Dave celebrate. The referee hands them their belts, which they grab away from him and raise in triumph!
Harrys: And finally, at a combined weight of 447 pounds, the team of TM and David Cougar!
The referee separates the teams into different sections of the pentagonal ring. Christianson and Baker go to the top left, Anoki and USA to the top right, Phoenix and Black to the bottom left, Ace and Dave to the bottom right, and TM and Cougar to the bottom side. All the teams want to be in the ring first, but the referee tells TM and USA to enter the ring, apparently by some predetermined decision. The bell rings for the beginning of the match.
Copeland: And here we go, ladies and gentleman! This is an interesting match up to begin things, as the all-American USA takes on the Japanese-Canadian TM. One has to wonder what USA thinks of this foreigner in WZCW.
Cohen: If I know USA, that bigot probably cant wait to beat up TM. But best of luck with that, as TM is an extraordinary athlete, trained in Japan and with a great MMA background. USA will have his hands full!
USA and TM lock up in the center of the ring. USA, the bigger man, forces TM over to the bottom left corner. The ref calls for a clean break, and USA backs up. Just as TM is about to move, Phoenix slaps him in the back and enters the ring. TM looks enraged, but the ref threatens a disqualification if he doesnt leave the ring. He slides out of the ring and makes his way to his side, visibly upset. Meanwhile, USA and Phoenix have locked up. USAs learned a lesson, however, and pushed Phoenix over to the top right, where his own partner, Anoki, waits. USA hammers down on Phoenix with some big rights, giving no clean break this time. After several shots, Phoenix is dazed, and USA tags in Anoki. USA exits, but keeps hold of Phoenix, keeping him in the corner. Anoki jumps up and hits a dropkick right to the chest of Phoenix, who staggers out. Anoki takes Phoenix down with an armdrag and locks in an armbar in the center of the ring.
Copeland: A nasty armbar there, wearing down the opponent. Anoki may be looking for an early submission.
Cohen: Hell need to do more damage to that arm if he wants to get Phoenix to tap, Seabass.
Not taking any chances, however, Garth Black comes into the ring and kicks Anoki in the head, breaking up the hold. As Anoki staggers up, Black returns to the outside and Phoenix tags him in. Anoki is still staggered and instead of tagging in his own partner, reaches out for Ace David and tags him in instead! Ace rushes in to meet Black, and they trade punches in the center of the ring. After several, the smaller Black is dazed, and whips him into his corner. As Black walks out, Ace gets behind him and nails him with a bulldog! Lying face first, Ace stomps on Blacks foot repeatedly.
Cohen: Now there is smart strategy, Seabass. Not only softening him up for that ankle lock he likes to use, but taking away his ability to get up to the top rope, where Black hits a lot of his offense from.
After some more stomps to the foot, Ace kicks over Black. He backs up toward his own side, and comes out running, dropping a big leg on Black. He goes for the cover, but Black kicks out at two. He picks Black up and goes for a kick to the stomach, looking like a set up for a DDT, but Black kicks the leg. Ace hops, and gets his other leg up right into Blacks head for a big enzuigiri!
