WZCW Meltdown 14

[Steamboat Ricky]

*Chuck Myles is on the telephone in his office at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, GA, site of this week's WZCW Meltdown. He is seemingly stressed.*

Myles: You've got to be kidding me!


What are you talking about? Everyone has been given very fair opportunities...


No, no, no. I'll be at headquarters tomorrow morning and then we can hash this out!

*In walks Joseph "The Main Event" Rios.*

Myles: UNBELIEVABLE!

*Hangs up.*

Rios: Everything ok, Chuck?

Myles: Does it look like I'm ok, champ? I just got off the phone with...nah, it doesn't matter. I'll tell you later. For now, you've got to get ready for your big match.

Rios: Yeah, boss. That's the thing I came here to talk to you about. I want you to call it off.

Myles: What?

Rios: Yeah...you know, I'm tired, got that big match Sunday against Big Will, I'm not sure that it's fair that I have to take on THE ENTIRE WZCW ROSTER, especially when Will had to face an equal number of guys in a 2 on 2 match...

Myles: Look, champ. My hands are tied...that was part of the agreement. Will has the authority tonight, you had it last week. Look, I gotta run, but catch me before you go out for your match tonight, I've got a little surprise for you...

*Myles exits the office as Rios looks on.*

 

[Steamboat Ricky]

(The crowd packed into tonight's arena where WZCW resides nearly explodes with thunderous cheers and applauds for the WZCW opening video package that plays across the WZCW-tron overheard, as well as on television sets all across the world. The anticipation for the start of Monday night WZCW reaches its peak, and it's at a perfect time, because once the opening video comes to an end, and the fire red WZCW logo flashes quickly in and out of the camera shot, the fans in the arena and at home witness a stunning display of pyrotechnics that rise up from the stage and shoot down from the WZCW-tron, nearly lighting up the entire arena with its bright effects. The pyrotechnics display finishes off with a few fire red illuminations shooting up into the air, followed by one final explosion of silver pyro, capping off the pyro display! The fans here in the arena are electric as they chant the initials of Wrestle Zone Championship Wrestling repeatedly, as well as scream out loud for their favourite WZCW Superstars. Some amazing shots of overhead views of the fans continue to take up television sets, making fans watching at home wish they were at the arena this evening. Some may have to travel far, because as seen by the small graphic, the show is coming to us Live from The Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia! As we view many home-made signs being raised up into the air by the fans, we hear the familiar voices of WZCW's well-know commentators, Copeland and Cohen.)[/CENTER]

Copeland: Welcome everyone to another exciting edition of WZCW Meltdown! We’ve got a huge night ahead of us, but sadly, with every great thing must come a bad one. So let me introduce to you the man sitting next to me this evening…Jack “The Enforcment” Cohen.

Cohen: Well, Seabass...it's fitting that we are in Hawks country because TONIGHT...EVERY SINGLE WZCW SUPERSTAR will have his eye on Joseph, "The Main Event" Rios, as Big Will has used his Pick Your Poison rights to force Rios into a match with the entirety of the WZCW Roster, should they choose to participate.

Copeland: Jackie Boy, that's not the only thing to look forward to tonight...FINALLY...after months in the making, the contract signing for a match between Jason Sincade and Hatchiyama Manzō. That should be interesting for sure. We also have a KFAD qualifying match, and a lot more action...let's go to the ring!

 

[Steamboat Ricky]

Alex Bowen v. Milenko:​

*DING DING DING*

Harrys: Ladies and Gentlemen, making his way to the ring, accompanied by Jesse and Jeremy Lapalme, ‘The Necromaster’ Milenko.

Copeland: Ladies and Gentlemen, I’ve just received word that earlier today, Milenko had these words to say about this match

The camera turns on and we see Milenko sitting in a dark room with something in his lap. He loooks up at the camera and he has a slightly sadistic smile on his face.

Milenko
IT seems that WZCW managment is putting me in yet another match with Alex Bowen. But before I go out there I have a story to tell. It's a story about a boy and his family.

Milenko stops talking and pulls something out of his pocket and shows it to the camera. It's a photo of a family. 4 people are smiling, but in the corner of the picture there is a little boy who has his arm in a sling and bruises on his arms and face.

Milenko
It's a story about this family. You see that little boy with the broken arm? His teacher's were told that he fell down the stairs at home, but that's not true his arm was broken one night when his father came home drunk and threw him down the stairs because his room wasn't clean.

Milenko looks back at the picture and he sighs before he looks back at the camera and starts talking.

Milenko
you may be wondering where his mother was when that happened. Well she was out with her boyfriend because she can't stand his father and she feels that she missed out on life because she got pregnant at 17. As for his two brothers they were popular so they spent as much time away from home as possible. They didn't like there little brother much any way.

Then Milennko tears the picture into tiny pieces and throws it across the room with a furious look on his face.

Milenko
Some of you are probably wondering how I know so much about this kid. Well this was me 15 years ago. I ran away from my family at the age of 13 and I took the name Milenko and painted my face because I didn't want to be linked to my abusive family at all. No one came looking for me so they forgot about me and I forgot about them.

Milenko than pulls the camera close to his face and starts talking in a slow menacing voice.

Milenko
When I heard that My brother signed a contract with WZCW it all came rushing back to me and I wanted to make him pay for all those years of abuse I took.

He pulls the camera even closer to his face and gets a depressed look in his eyes.

Milenko
Alex, you could have stopped him. He liked you and listened to you. You knew what was happening and you didn't stop it, Instead you were never around and let him beat me and break my arm. We were a family, that's supposed to mean something.

He pushes the camera away and he starts whispering so quietly he can barely be heard.

Milenko
Alex I'm going to show you the pain and anguish I went through at the hands of our father. Everything he did to me, the beatings and broken bones, will happen to you. All you had to do was put a stop to it when we were younger and this wouldn't be happening to you.

Milenko gets up and goes to leave the room, but when he get to the door he turns around and looks at the camera.

Milenko
See you in the ring Bro.

The camera focuses on the ripped up picture as it fades to black.

Copeland: Shocking revelations regarding the history these to have had. The bitterness of Milenko over these last months has finally been explained. Milenko blaming Alex Bowen for his part in Milenko’s abuse filled childhood. I don’t envy Alex Bowen, facing the wrath of his scorned brother. That being said, I wonder if Milenko’s going to try to weasel his way out of this encounter, as he has done the previous two.

Cohen: Why would he? He has motive to destroy Alex Bowen, and from what I heard, Bowen deserves all he gets. And he didn’t ‘weasel’ out Seabass, he warned Bowen that he would compete on his terms and only his. He can’t be held responsible for management ignoring this and continuing to schedule the matches. You ought to watch your mouth, someday someone will put their fist in it, the stuff you come out with

Copeland: Well, judging from the boos he’s getting, the great WZCW fans don’t appreciate his reluctance to enter the ring against Alex Bowen

Milenko and his associates enter the ring. Milenko takes a mic and waits for silence. The crowd responds by starting a ‘You Suck’ chant which continues as Milenko waits for silence​

Milenko:Oh, Alex, I’ve just realised something I forgot to mention in that tape. You will indeed see me in the ring tonight…provided you can run my gauntlet to prove you deserve it. I think you’re familiar you’re your opponents, so I hope this doesn’t leave you to unprepared

Milenko has an evil grin on his face as he hands the mic back to Harrys at ringside​

Copeland: I can’t believe this. For the third week in a row, Milenko is refusing to get into the ring with Alex Bowen. It makes me sick

Cohen: Are you DEAF as well as stupid Copeland? Didn’t you hear, he will get into the ring with Bowen once he’s shown he deserves it. And to do that, he has to get through both Jesse and Lapalme. If he's as good as people say, that'll be no problem

‘Wagon Wagon’ echoes throughout the arena​

Harrys: Their opponent, weighing in at 247lbs, from Detroit Michigan...Alex Bowen

Bowen doesn’t have his trademark bottles of Faygo, instead rushes the ring to meet Lapalme. He drops Lapalme to the mat and hits him with a flurry of mounted punches until the referee is forced to pull him off and cause a break.​

Copeland: Very aggressive start from Bowen, it’s clear he wants to get his hands on Milenko and is looking very focused.

Cohen: Do your job ref, DQ him already for illegal punches – they were close-fist Seabass! Where’s your integrity?

Lapalme has recovered from Bowen’s initial aggression, and is pacing the ring. The pair tie up, and Lapalme immediately goes under the ropes to force the break. Again, they try to tie up in the ring and Lapalme goes under the ropes. The ref pulls Bowen away again.​

Cohen: What strategy! It’s genius

Copeland: No arguing there. Forcing Bowen to back off gives him no chance to use his intensity

A third tie up in the ring is attempted by Bowen, until Lapalme kicks him in the mid-section. Lapalme attempts a suplex on Bowen, only to have the attempt blocked. Bowen breaks the hold by stomping on Lapalme’s foot. While Lapalme is bent over from the pain, Bowen rakes the back, causing Lapalme to shout in pain.​

Copeland: Great strategy by Bowen, block the sophisticated style of Lapalme with basic strikes.

Cohen: Strategy? He should be disqualified for those moves. I think Chuck Myles needs to invest in some rulebooks for his refs

Inside the ring, Bowen unleashes a flurry of chops, raising red welts on the chest of Lapalme, and prompting a ‘Whoo’ from the crowd at the sound of each. Lapalme ducks the fifth chop, getting behind Bowen and throwing him to the mat with an release German Suplex.​

Pin attempt by Lapalme​

1…

Bowen gets his shoulder off the mat shortly after the one-count
Lapalme looks angrily at the ref, and raises Bowen to his feet. He hits a Snap Suplex, which again puts Bowen on the mat.​

1…
2…

Clearly irritated by the lack of a result, Lapalme gets up and pulls Bowen to his feet again, looking to hit a third suplex. Bowen instead lifts Lapalme into an inverted atomic drop…and a second…and a third.​

Copeland: I think young Jeremy Lapalme will be singing in a whole new octave after this match.

Cohen: What the hell Ref? Do you not see the low blows? Do your damn job.

Bowen, feeding off the crowd’s energy, grabs Lapalme’s arm, and sends him to the match with a short arm clothesline. He points to the top rope.​

Copeland: This is it…he’s saying it’s time for someone to eat his ass!

Bowen climbs the top rope, preparing to hit the Eat My Ass on Lapalme lying in the middle of the ring. Behind him, Jesse climbs the turnbuckle, and pushes Bowen off the top rope, crotching him on the top rope.​

Cohen: Ha Ha. Looks like Bowen got a little taste of his own medicine. Boy soprano anyone?

*DING DING*

Harrys: Winner of the first fall by disqualification…Alex Bowen

While this is being said, Jesse is in the ring, unleashing a series of punches on Bowen. Seeing his opponent weakened, he hits a step-up Enziguri, and climbs the top rope to gesture to the crowd, who promptly boo him.
He drops back down to the floor and waits for Bowen to get to his face. Milenko climbs up to the turnbuckle and distracts the referee, as Lapalme slides a chair into the ring.​

Copeland: Ref, open your eyes

Cohen: It’s fine for Bowen to bend the rules but not Milenko and Co? Besides, he didn’t bring the chair in…it just appeared there.

Copeland: Appeared my ass, it was put in by a man not in the match. He’s shaping up for the ‘Back in Black’ on the chair.

As Bowen turns round, Jesse grabs him by the throat, preparing to hit the Back in Black, Bowen uses the distraction to hit a low blow on Jesse, who crumbles to the mat. Bowen hits a quick Double Jump Moonsault, as the referee is now aware of the action behind him.​

1…

Copeland: Wait, Milenko’s in the ring…he’s going for the chair

2…

Milenko hits Bowen with the chair causing the DQ.​

Cohen: Well Seabass, looks like you’ve got your 1-on-1 match after all

Copeland: You know as well as anyone, this was not a 1-on-1 match…this was a gang assault.

Inside the ring, Milenko is gloating over the fallen Bowen, kicking him nonchalantly with his boot. He picks him up, and hits a quick neckbreaker, sending him back to the mat with a loud thump. He stands and points down at his fallen opponent, causing the crowd to boo wildly.​

Copeland: Get it over with already…finish the kid off

Cohen: He’s picking his spot…he’s earned the right to end the match however he wants.

Bowen is bravely struggling to his feet, pulling his way up using Milenko’s legs. Milenko looks down at him, and says ‘It’s over Alex’. As Bowen gets to his feet, Milenko hits a dropkick to the knees, sending him back to the mat. He steps back, aiming for a vicious Murder-Go-Round kick.​

Cohen: Here it is…Murder-Go-Round! It’s over

But Bowen leans back, avoiding the kick, and catches Milenko off-balance with a roll-up.​

1…
2…
3…

*Ding Ding*

Harrys: Here is your win…

He doesn’t get time to finish, as Lapalme and Jesse enter the ring, and clobber Bowen from behind. They stomp on him, he tries to fight back but is soon overrun by the numbers advantage. Lapalme hits him with a LapDance onto the chair which is still in the ring, lifting it and placing it on Bowen’s chest, while Milenko and himself hold Bowen on the ground by hands and feet.​

Cohen: You want more…here’s an Encore! Onto a steel chair.

Copeland: Dammit, the match is over

Cohen: But the war’s not Seabass, Milenko is getting the retribution he deserves.

Both Jesse and Lapalme hold an arm each and lift Bowen to his knees. Milenko has a microphone.​

Milenko: This was never the match I had in mind to meet in…this was to soften you up. You and I, we’re going to Kingdom Come …JUGGALO DEATH MATCH.

He throws the mic and hits the Murder-Go-Round on Bowen​

Cohen: Seabass…this ends at Kingdom Come, these two brothers will collide in a Juggalo Death Match...whatever the hell that is!!!

Copeland: I have no idea... but from what we’ve seen here tonight, I don’t like Alex Bowen’s odds of over-coming this sadistic sibling rivalry at Kingdom Come

A bloodied Bowen lies in the ring​

*Commercial Break*

 

[Monkey_Mania]

*Cameras cut to a wide shot of Chuck Myles in his office.*

Myles: "I told you all on the last Meltdown that I would be picking two superstars at random to compete in a Triple Threat Match for the vacant Tag Titles."

*Myles walks over to a hat sitting on his desk*

Myles: "I have put all the remaining members of the roster on separate pieces of paper. I then have placed them in this hat."

*Myles grabs the hat and shakes it, he then reaches his hand into the hat and pulls a name out*

Myles: "The first person randomly chosen is..."The Electric" Anthony Michaels. Let's see who his tag team partner is."

*Myles once again shakes the hat, reaches in and pulls out another name from the hat.*

Myles: "Michaels tag team partner is...Mighty NorCal.

*Myles sets the hat down, then looks into the camera.*

Myles: "Well then, now that that's settled. We now have the three way tag team championship match set in stone. All I can say is good luck to all three teams."

*Myles looks into the camera and laughs as the camera fades to black.*

 

[Steamboat Ricky]

*The Grand Mystique and Murfish are sitting in the locker room preparing for their match against Apotheosis and Vengeance.*

GM: Why are we fighting these guys, Murfish?

Murfish: Well, I've been doing some top-notch investigative work, and my findings lead me to believe that it was one of those two who attacked you. Plus, it will be a good way to tune up for the KFAD match.

GM: Top-notch investigative work, huh?

Murfish: Yeah, we better get out there, it's almost time.

*Murfish exits the locker room, as The Grand Mystique follows sporting a suspicious facial expression.*

 

[Steamboat Ricky]

GM/Murfish v. Apotheosis/Vengeance

“Riders on the Storm” by The Doors starts playing and Apotheosis comes out looking down at the floor, seemingly depressed, but he is actually focused and thinking over the truths and changes he has discovered and his upcoming match. In his hand, he carries Joseph Campbell’s “The Hero with a Thousand Faces.” This will change when he finishes it. He slides into the ring, takes off his jacket, plops down in the corner, and opens and starts reading the book waiting for his opponent.

Harrys: “In the ring now and weighing in at 260 pounds…Apoootheeeeooosis!”

O Fortuna by Orff hits the speakers as Vengeance begins to slowly walk up the isle. He ignores the fans as he gets into the ring, stands on the bottom turnbuckle, and removes his hood. He gets down and removes his cloak, getting ready for the match.

Harrys: “Now in the ring and weighing in at 275 pounds…Veeeengeance!”

“Headstrong” by Trapt plays to the arena. After a few seconds the bright house lights go off but the music continues to the arena. The arena spotlights come up and are focussed on all four corners of the ring. They change colours rapidly. Then the music stops. The arena lights returns and the music starts back up again. GM is in ring, sitting on a turnbuckle. He is facing in the ring with his arms outstretched and back towards the crowd. He gets down from the turnbuckle and grabs his neck, remembering last week’s assault.

Harrys: “ Now in the ring and weighing in at 277 pounds, He is the Voice of the Cosmos…The Grand Mystiiiiique!”

Reptillia by the Strokes blares on the speakers as Murfish begins his way down the ramp. He high fives any fan with their arm reached out. Murfish takes the baby of one mother to kiss it, before it is taken away. He continues to work the crowd.

Harrys: “ Now making his way to the ring and weighing in at 335 pounds, He is the Baddest Thing This Side of The Atlantic Ocean …Muuuuuuuurfish!”

At this point Murfish has made little to no progress to the ring and seem content. He is about to start conversing with a fan when…

Harrys: “ Murfish! Hurry it up.”

Murfish gets to the ring and waits for the match to begin.

Murfish and Apotheosis begin in the ring. Apotheosis tries to whip Murfish off of the ropes but Murfish uses his superior strength to reverse this easily. Apotheosis is dumped to the mat with a vicious clothesline and is then flapjacked face first into the mat. Murfish proceeds to stomp the back of Apotheosis’s head. Vengeance steps through the ropes and delivers a stiff big boot to Murfish.

The referee forces Vengeance out but the damage has been done and now, Apotheosis is on top. He picks up Murfish and twists him into a hanging neckbreaker before covering him.

1...2, kick out by Murfish.

Murfish tries to reach out to the Grand Mystique but Apotheosis grabs him by the neck and drops him with a snap DDT. Murfish is then dragged over towards Vengeance who is tagged in by Apotheosis.

Vengeance picks up Murfish and in a amazing show of strength, picks him up and drops him with a shoulderbreaker! He then locks in an armbar. Vengeance really leans back in the hold but Murfish looks like he is able to press himself out of it! He is quickly up to his knees. Vengeance tries to maintain the hold but Murfish quickly forces Vengeance to turn it into a standing wristlock.

Murfish shows no sign of backing down having forced himself up. He then turns Vengeances hold against him before using it to drag him over towards the Grand Mystique, who tags in.

GM kicks Vengeance in the gut, and then takes him down with an Atomic drop. GM picks up Vengeance and goes to whip him off of the ropes. As he comes back, Vengeance ducks under the big boot and then floors GM with a vicious roundhouse kick to the head.

Cohen: “This is superb strategy by Vengeance and you can guarantee that he and Apotheosis will continue to target this injury”

Copeland: “GM should not even be competing here tonight. The fact that he is even in the building is credit to his spirit!”

Vengeance gets GM up and then hits him with a Northern Lights suplex.

Cover, 1...2...kicked out by GM.

Vengeance drags GM closer to the corner and then shoves him head first into the turnbuckle. Apotheosis tags in and together they pick GM up as he slumps on the mat. Vengeance hits a sit out spine buster as Apotheosis comes off the ropes and splashes onto GM.

Cover, 1...2...kicked out again by GM.

Murfish is increasingly frustrated as he leans against the ropes. Apotheosis brings up GM’s head and points at it. Murfish jumps through and gets tackled by the referee.

Cohen: “Down boy. You don’t want to get yourself disqualified, do you?”

Copeland: “They are mauling GM. It’s no wonder that Murfish is angry.”

Murfish is forced back to his corner as Apotheosis takes advantage by repeatedly stomping GM’s head. He lifts GM up, and slams him back down with a side effect.

Cover, 1…2…kicked out by GM.

GM reaches desperately for Murfish, only to realize that he is too far away. Apotheosis gets up and begins to circle GM, planning his next move.

Copeland: “ I think that Apotheosis has some bad intentions for his next move.”

Cohen: “ I know, and I am so excited to see what he has planned.”

Apotheosis waits for GM to get up, then locks in the double underhook, going for a backbreaker. GM, utilizing untapped strength, lifts himself up for a back body drop. GM clutches the back of his neck, as Apotheosis begins to sit up. GM notices this, and runs off the ropes to connect with dropkick to Apotheosis’ face. GM and Apotheosis now lie in the center of the ring: GM holding his neck in pain, and Apotheosis grabbing his forehead and dazed.

Copeland: “ And with a flurry of surprising offense, GM is back in this thing.”

Cohen: “ He is injured damn it, he shouldn’t be able to do that.”

GM and Apotheosis slowly crawl to their respective corners. They both simultaneously tag their partners in. Vengeance and Murfish rush into the ring and circle each other warily.

Cohen: “ It looks as if these monsters are checking the water before they dive in.”

Copeland: “ That’s all well and good, but do you think GM will be alright after this?”

Murfish charges Vengeance only to be met with a devastating powerslam.

Cover, 1…2…kicked out by Murfish.

Copeland: “ It’s going to take a lot for GM and Murfish to pull through with this.”

Cohen: “ I don’t think they can do it to be honest.”

Vengeance struggles with Murfish’s deadweight when he lifts him up. Suddenly, Murfish begins to bite Vengeance’s forehead. The referee begins to count for Murfish to stop.

1…2…3…4…Murfish lets go.

Checking if there is blood, Vengeance takes a moment to rest against the ropes, facing the audience. As the referee is reprimanding Murfish, he shoves the referee aside and charges after the unsuspecting Vengeance. Just before impact, Murfish lifts his boot and delivers and Oyster Cult that sends Vengeance and Murfish to the outside of the ring.

Copeland: “Gawd, that had to hurt.”

Cohen: “ Oyster Cult out of nowhere!”

Apotheosis and GM are quick to leave the apron and help their partners. All participants begin to brawl. GM and Apotheosis begin to exchange lefts and rights, while Vengeance and Murfish are trying to knock each other out. The referee begins to count out Murfish and Vengeance.

1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…

Murfish and Vengeance show no signs of stopping as they try to end each other’s career.

10

Harrys: “ This match ends due to a double countout and is therefore declared a no contest.

Both teams continue to brawl as Meltdown cuts to commercials.

*Chuck Myles is in his office in the middle of a business phone call. In walks Daniel Stokes, visibly anxious.*

Myles: No, we need you at Kingdom Come.

...

Why? Because we need someone to sing.

...

Trust me, this will be something you won't ever forget.


Daniel Stokes: AHEM.


Myles: Hey, I'm going to have to split, but we'll hammer out the particulars in a few days.

...

I'll talk to you soon...byebye miss.


Ok, first of all....WHO ARE YOU? Second of all, since I don't even know who you are, you had better have a good explanation as to why you just interrupted my telephone conversation with a very important woman...

DS: Um, I'm Daniel Stokes, mate...the fella you hired not more than a few weeks ago...

Myles: Alright, that takes care of the "first of all." Now PLEASE, enlighten me as to why you feel the need to interrupt my business.

DS: Considering you're paying me a portion of YOUR money, I thought it would be best to at least make some use of me, bugger. I didn't come from down undah to sit around and get stonkered to the point where I shack up with reffos in your basement...I came here to get in a bit of a fight, you see?

Myles: Ah, so you're looking for an opportunity, eh?

DS: Now you're gettin' somewhere mate.

Myles: I tell you what, you go out and participate in the Rios match tonight, and I'll give you the opportunity of a lifetime. There still ONE spot open in the King for a Day match at Kingdom Come. You go out and compete tonight, and I'll give you that final spot.

DS: Right-o mate. Pleashah doin' business with ya!

*The two shake hands. Daniel Stokes exits the office.*

Myles: Ha! We'll see if you think it's a pleasure once you've had your face chained, "you bloke." Pfffft.

*Myles goes back to his phone as the scene cuts.*

 

[Steamboat Ricky]

MELTDOWN: KING FOR A DAY QUALIFYING MATCH: STEAMBOAT RICKY v. D.C.:​

(Harrys)- "The following contest is scheduled for one fall, with no time limit. This is a King For A Day Qualifying match-up. Introducing First.."

"Name Of The Game" by Crystal Method erupts over the arena as the fans rise to their feet and begin to cheer. D.C. walks out through the curtain, followed by Lindsey. D.C. stops short of the rampway, and turns to Lindsey, only to kiss her then point toward the back. Lindsey walks back behind the curtain, as D.C. walks down the rampway, not making any attempt to address the screaming fans with their hands out. D.C. slides underneath the bottom ropes, as he walks to a corner and sits up on it.

Copeland: I'm really looking forward to this one, Jackie. These are two of the best competitors currently in WZCW.

Cohen: Who are you calling Jackie, Seabass?

"Stand Here With Me" by Creed interrupts, as Harrys introduces the opponent. Ricky walks out through the curtain, still seemingly favoring his wounds from last week's encounter with Manzo. He has his cooler with him, as he stops atop the rampway, only to open his cooler and pull out a non-alcoholic grog. He cracks it open and downs it, suddenly giving him a bit more energy, as he walks with intensity down the rampway. Ricky stops near the guardrail, as several fans rush to him and embrace him. He cracks open a couple more grogs, handing them out to fans and pouring them above their heads. Ricky notices a baby at ringside, as he leans in to kiss it, then pours a can of grog over it's head. The Mother laughs and hugs Ricky. Ricky slides into the ring, leaving his cooler in the corner as he turns his attention on his opponent.

Copeland: What a positive role-model Ricky is for these kids. Nothing like a little good, clean fun!

Cohen: You wouldn't know anything about clean, Seabass. I could smell you before we even got to the arena!

Copeland: Yeah, well, that's what happens when I spend a lot of time with your mother, Jackie.

The official calls for the bell, as Ricky and D.C. both move in toward one another. Suddenly, before they can lock up, D.C. just falls to the mat, laying on his back?!?!?! Ricky steps back, looking slightly puzzled at whats going on. Ricky turns toward the official and asks what he makes of D.C.'s tactics, but the official doesn't know.

Copeland: Did Mrs. Cohen put something in my O'Grog's last night? Or is this ACTUALLY happening?

Cohen: This is pretty puzzling, Seabass. HEY! Enough with the mom jokes.

Ricky begins slowly moving in, testing the stratedy that D.C. is imploring by stepping within distance of D.C., but not close enough for him to make any sudden movements. D.C. still completely motionless on the mat.

Ricky stops and still seems completely baffled by the set of events thats unfolded in the ring. Ricky slowly moves closer and closer to D.C., before finally reaching his foot out and placing it on D.C.'s chest. The official and Ricky both look puzzled to each other, as the official shrugs his shoulders and gets down to make the count. 1............................ 2................. Ricky pulls his foot off, apparently feeling upset at how the situation is happening.

Ricky, out of nowhere, lays down on the mat beside D.C., only to point toward the rafters of the arena as if they're looking at something. The official walks over and looks up, but seems confused at what they're looking at. The official suddenly lays down, and looks up toward the rafters as well, as Ricky lays an arm across D.C.'s chest, while still laying on the mat.

Copeland: Jackie, they look like two lovebirds gazing at the stars!

The official notices Ricky's arm across D.C.'s chest, only to seem shocked and suddenly roll over and make the count. 1.......................................... 2.......................... Ricky suddenly pulls his arm off, only to point something else out, thats apparently in the rafters of the building. The official gets somewhat upset, as he gets up and starts pointing toward D.C., telling Ricky that hes obviously not moving.

Ricky shrugs his shoulders, and somewhat throws his arms in the air, as if to not understand it. Ricky walks over to the nearby turnbuckle, only to climb up onto it. Ricky just sits on the top turnbuckle, staring at D.C., while D.C. hasn't moved or even looked in any direction other than just remained motionless and still.

Out of nowhere, Ricky stands up and yells 'MAN OVER BOARD!!' as he then leaps off with an elbow drop to D.C.'s chest, causing D.C. to finally give a reaction. Ricky then covers D.C., as the official counts. 1..................................... 2..................................... 3!!!!

(Harrys)- "Ladies and Gentlemen.. you.. your winner of the match.. S.. Steamboat Ricky?" Harrys seems slightly puzzled at how the match has unfolded and is questioning whether this is even counting. None the less, the official raises the hand of Steamboat Ricky, as he starts celebrating as if hes just won the World Heavyweight Championship!!!

Copeland: Well, in the most interesting scenario possible, Steamboat Ricky has qualified to compete in the KFAD match at Kingdom Come. And D.C., well, D.C. looks like he is possessed.

Cohen: Something must REALLY be going on in the mind of D.C. for him to act like this.

D.C. rolls out of the ring, slightly clutching at his chest, as he makes no motion to any of the fans. He just walks up the rampway, only to stop at the very top, turn around and flip everyone off. D.C. then turns and walks out completely.

Fans: Nah nah nah nah...nah nah nah nah...HEY HEY HEY...GOODBYE Nah nah nah nah...nah nah nah nah...HEY HEY HEY...GOODBYE Nah nah nah nah...nah nah nah nah...HEY HEY HEY...GOODBYE Nah nah nah nah...nah nah nah nah...HEY HEY HEY...GOODBYE Nah nah nah nah...nah nah nah nah...HEY HEY HEY...GOODBYE.

Anthony Michaels: "Hey NorCal"

*Michaels waits for a response*

Anthony Michaels: "Hey...Big Scary Looking dude with a cross on his back."

*NorCal hears him this time, and walks over to Michaels.*

NorCal: "What do you need?"

Anthony Michaels: "Didn't you hear? Your lucky ass gets to team with me for the vacant Tag Titles."

NorCal: "I'm not here to win titles."

A.M.: "Well...What are you hear for then."

NorCal: "I am here to cause unjust people pain. That is my number 1 goal."

*Michaels pretends to fall asleep*

A.M.: *fake snore* " Haha Just kidding bud. Thats cool. Thats EXACTLY what I've come here to do too."

*Michaels looks around, trying not to make eye contact with NorCal*

A.M.: "Look man... I'm heading out to the gym, then to have a couple of brewski's...ummm..Root Brewski's"

NorCal: "I'll see you at Kingdom Come. We better be on the same page."

A.M.: 'Don't worry big guy. I ALWAYS do the right thing...

*Michaels walks off...*

NorCal: "You Better"

*NorCal watches Michaels walk down the hallway. The camera cuts up on the dead serious look on NorCal's face.*

The MAXX and the Nation of Islam make their way out to the ring as “Welcome to the Jungle” begins to play on the speakers. They look out at the fans with distain, and MAXX clutches his Mayhem title closely.

Harrys: Approaching the ring now is the NATION OF ISSSSLAM.

As they wait in the ring, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" by Metallica begins to play loudly on the speakers. Reaper makes his way down the ramp without taking notice of the fans. He gets ready in the ring when his music cuts.

Harrys: Now in the ring weighing in at 235 pounds…Reeeaaaper.

“Supernova goes Pop” by Powerman 5000 begins as Everest enters very simply to start. Orange laser lights shoot back and forth across the blank big screen that then flashes the words “Are you Ready to Go” The lights go out for a second and when they kick back on Everest stands in the middle of the ramp soaking up the cheers. He makes his way to the ring rather hastily but always stops along the way to eye up a pretty lady at ringside or to say hello to some fans.

Hollys: Now entering the ring, weighing in at 205 pounds…Everest.

"Holy Diver" by Killswitch Engage plays as Gus makes his way to the ring. He works the crowd a bit before he gets into the ring, waiting for his other partners.

Hollys: Waiting in the ring and weighing in at 255 pounds…Gus.

“Prayer for a Refugee” by Rise Against begins playing while Agrex makes his way down to the ring. He seems confident and ready to go as he pumps up the fans.

Hollys: On his way to the ring and weighing in at 202 pounds…Agrex.

"Endless Challenge" by F-Zero plays for approximately 7-8 seconds before Eric comes out from behind the curtain, and Eric immediately starts to play to the crowd, clapping and raising his arms, jumping up and down, just getting exited. As he’s heading to the ring, he does a little stretching of his arms, cracks a few bones, climb sinto the ring via stairs, and continue to play it up to the crowd.

Hollys: In the ring now and weighing in at 235 pounds…ERRIIIC DEEERF.

SC: Looks like we have one hell of a match ahead of us.

JC: I’ll admit that even I am excited for what can only be described as a war.

Everest and Maxx start out as they circle each other in the ring. Paul Butler calls for the bell. Everest and Maxx enter a collar and elbow tie up. Maxx begins to gain the advantage due to his strength. As this happens, Everest counters into a short arm clothesline. As Maxx clutches his head, Everest immediately follows up with a falling headbutt.

SC: And opening control appears to have gone to Everest.

JC: Well I don’t think that opening control means a lick here.

Everest drags Maxx to his corner and tags in Agrex. Agrex lifts Maxx up and hits a swinging neckbreaker. Maxx is reeling on the mat as Agrex stalks him on the canvas.

SC: Maxx appears to be a bit off tonight, he isn’t acting like he usually does.

JC: Maxx will fight back, he always does.

Once Maxx is up, Agrex comes from behind to lock in a full nelson. Agrex wrenches it in as Maxx cries out.

SC: Apparently turn about is fair play here. We don’t often see a submission used on a submission expert.

JC: It’s unfair, it’s damn unfair I tell you.

Everest gets the blind tag and gets back in. When Agrex releases the hold, Everest drags Maxx to the center of the ring. Once there Everest hits the Rock Slide and goes for the cover.

SC: ROCK SLIDE!

JC: NO!

Rahjeem breaks the cover.

JC: That, my friend, is teamwork.

Maxx manages to crawl back into his corner and tag in Reaper as Everest tags in Gus. Reaper charges Gus for a clothesline, but is met with a drop toe hold. Gus lifts Reaper’s legs and hits a Reality Check.

SC: Gus’ team has really done well so far.

JC: Never rule out the other team Sebastian, never.

Gus goes up to the top rope. Reaper is still holding his stomach from the Reality Check and is laying on the mat. Gus goes for a frog splash, but Reaper is able to lift his knees up in time to counter Gus’ splash. Reaper lifts Gus up and hits the Darkness. He covers Gus for a pinfall.

Kickout

Reaper tries to grab Gus’ legs, but Gus pushes him off and crawls to his corner. Gus tags in Eric Derf and Eric grabs Reaper and pulls him to the center of the ring. Eric hits a brutal snap ddt, which leaves Reaper senseless on the matt.

JC: Wow, this kid is showing some new brutality.

SC: I just hope he doesn’t lose himself in this rage.

Eric then locks in a tight Boston Crab. As he wrenches it in, Reaper tries reach the ropes. Reaper looks to be in real pain as he slowly crawls to the ropes. After a few minutes of agony, Reaper reaches the ropes. Eric refuses to let go of the hold as the referee begins to count.

Reluctantly, Eric lets go and rests against the ropes. With surprising speed, Reaper gets to his corner and accidentally tags in a still weary Maxx. Before Maxx can tag back out, Eric grabs him and drags him back to the middle of the ring. Once there, Eric punches Maxx with his right hand, slaps him with his left hand, and finally hits Maxx with a brutal Sandpit.

SC: Sandpit, Sandpit, he's done it. This has to be over.

JC: Why Maxx, why did you do this?

Eric covers for the pinfall.

Harrys: The winner of this eight man tag team match... Everest, Agrex, Gus, and ERIC DERFFF!

*Chuck Myles is walking and talking on his cell phone. Suddenly he sees Gus in the hallway.*

Myles: (talking in the phone) Hey gotta go, see ya tomorrow.

Hey Gus!!!

Gus: What's up boss?

Myles: Not too much...just wanted to let you know that with the influx of injuries and quitting lately, I'm not EXACTLY sure who you are going to face at Kingdom Come, but you WILL be defending the Elite X Championship. I have a guy in mind, I just have to make sure that he can be here.

Gus: Oh, I'll be ready, boss. No worries.

Myles: Riiiight....

Myles sees something in the distance, walks that way*

Myles: I'll see ya later, good luck Gus.

*Myles walks closer and closer to this point of interest, until he finally sees Maxx laid out on the floor in a puddle of blood, completely battered.*

Myles: Oh my....SOMEONE QUICK!!! CALL 911!!!

*Commercial Break*

Manzo v. Sincade Contract Signing​

The ring is set up with a red carpet covering the canvas, and a table set up in the centre as we come back from the break. Leon Kensworth is standing in the ring dressed in a black tux, microphone in hand.

Leon: Ladies and gentlemen, we have come to the official contract signing of Hatchiyama Manzo versus Jason Sincade at our next PPV extravaganza, Kingdom Come. First, let me introduce to you all to the man who made his shocking return to the Meltdown Zone last week, Sincade!

“Perfect Strangers” by Deep Purple blasts loud over the tanoid and the place erupts into a group of cheers as Sincade makes his way out of the curtain, water bottle in hand. Taking a drink, he pours the rest over his head and throws the bottle away, making his way down the aisle.

Copeland: The fans here are going wild for the return of the icon Sincade!
Cohen: Their just feeding an ego that’s gunna get him hurt Copeland and you know it.

Sincade is in the ring now, and takes the microphone off of Leon.

Sincade: Leon, this here thing between the Japanese Pie Eater and me isn’t anything to do with you, so step it and let me deal with this yo.

Leon nods and quickly exits the ring under the bottom rope. Sincade turns to the curtain and brings the mic back to his lips.

Sincade: Listen up Manzo, and Magnus, his new boss, you better listen up too. I’m the mutha fucking Sincade, and I ain’t here to take your shit for any longer. I want you to get your fat ass down to the ring right now Manzo, and sign this contract so that you can’t duck me at Kingdom Come. Hell, if you step it up like a real man these folks here ain’t gunna have to wait until Kingdom Come.

The fans are still cheering as Sincade waves “come on” towards the curtains. Suddenly, the huge monitor above the entranceway flickers into life, and Magnus Maximillian, shadowed by Hatchiyama Manzo, come into shot as the crowd boos heavily.

Magnus: Sincade, Sincade, Sincade. My boy, you have been beaten mercilessly by Manzo here from the get go. He left you battered and bruised at All or Nothing. At the Lethal Lottery he dragged your body out of the arena and beat you until you couldn’t even stand under your own power. Do you really want to face the devastating power of my Manzo again? He is undefeated. He is unstoppable. He is undefeatable. Especially by you.

Sincade: Magnus, three weeks ago you weren’t even here, what gives you the right to …

Magnus: The thing is Jason, is that you are just a thug. A simple-minded stupid thug, but more than that, you’re predictable. Amazingly so.

Sincade: Magnus, you like to think …

Magnus: You see, there isn’t anything you could do or say that would change the outcome of this entire fiasco. Because out-thinking you is as easy to me as making my next million.

Sincade is staring angrily at the monitor when Hatchiyama Manzo climbs into the ring through the crowd. Sincade has no idea Manzo is there, even as Magnus, following him over the railing, passes Manzo up a steel chair. Manzo swings heavily to Sincades back, who falls straight to the ground in agony. Manzo drops the chair next to Sincade and Magnus climbs cockily into the ring, a small black object in his hand. He points at the big screen, where he himself is still talking about how overmatched Sincade is, and clicks the object, and the screen pauses. Laughing evilly, he picks up Sincades dropped microphone.

Magnus: Sincade, I gave you all the warning you needed right there on the big screen, but as usual your own emotions and pig headedness screwed you over. Did you really think we’d stay in the back, afraid of the big bad Sincade?

Magnus drops to one knee in front of Sincade, who is struggling back to his knees, and gets in Sincades face.

Magnus: You didn’t stand a chance against my Manzo before I came to WZCW, and now you’ll never beat him. Ever.

Manzo reaches down as Magnus nods at him to proceed. Picking Sincade up over his shoulder, he quickly powerslams Sincade straight through the Table, breaking it into splinters. Magnus strolls over whilst Manzo stares down at the broken unmoving form of his Kingdom Come opponent. Casually picking up the contract, Magnus signs on Manzo’s behalf, and tosses it back onto Sincade.

Magnus: There are three things you never do Sincade. You don’t spit into the wind, you don’t tug on superman’s cape, and you don’t write cheques you can’t cash. I am Magnus Maximillian, and I can cash any cheque on anybody. You may think you stood tall, but at Kingdom Come you’ll find out no one, NO ONE, stands taller than me when I’m standing on my wallet.

Magnus laughs into the microphone before tossing it onto Sincade and the contract, and doesn’t stop laughing as he and Manzo exit the ring, Manzo’s face a vision of focused rage and aggression.

*Myles is backstage, shutting the door to the ambulance taking Maxx out of the arena. Up approaches Joseph Rios.*

Rios: How's he going to be?

Myles: Phhew...it doesn't look good, champ. He DEFINETLY will not be at Kingdom Come, so I had to strip him of the WZCW Mayhem Championship. That means it's going to be you're good buddy Everest 1-1 with Reaper.

Rios: Do you know who did it?

Myles: No. And no one was on the scene. But whoever did it, well, we need to keep you safe. I don't want you getting ambushed.

Rios: Boss, boss, boss. I'm the Main Event. You don't have to worry about me...I'm the champ.

Myles: Speaking of champ...I've got something for you.

*Myles pulls out a shiny new belt.*

Myles: I wanted to give it to you before you went out there.

Rios: Wow, boss. Nice.

Myles: Now get out there...and we'll show Will that you don't cross Dynasty...

MELTDOWN: PICK YOUR POISON MATCH: JOSEPH RIOS v. W.Z.C.W. ROSTER:

(Harrys)- "The following is your Meltdown Main Event. Every W.Z.C.W. Superstar on the current roster can take part in this match, as they so decide. Introducing First.. the W.Z.C.W. Superstars.."

"Paralyzer" by Finger Eleven erupts over the sound system, as multiple W.Z.C.W. Superstars walk out through the curtain. Lead by the Elite X Champion, Gus, hes followed by Grand Mystique, Murf!sh, Milenko, Jesse, Lapalme, Agrex, Eric Smith, Alex Bowen, Daniel Stokes, Vengeance & Apotheosis. Each Superstar files around the ring, as it looks similar to a Lumberjack type setting. Gus steps into the ring first, and awaits Joseph Rios, while the other Superstars look on.

(Harrys)- "Coming out next is your WZCW Heavyweight Champion. Joseph RIIIOOOOSSSS."

"If It All Ended Tomorrow" erupts over the sound system, as Joseph Rios walks out onto the stage. He undoes his Heavyweight Championship, only to hold it up for all the Superstars at ringside to see. Rios places the Championship across his shoulder, then begins walking down the rampway. Rios quickly stops, then starts to back back up the ramp for a moment. Suddenly, Chuck Myles and Reaper walk out through the curtain and stand on each side of Rios. Rios somewhat glares and Myles, as he begins walking with them this time, to the ring. Rios demands the Superstars near the steps part, as he walks up the steps and climbs into the ring. Reaper stands at ringside, while Chuck Myles walks around and sits near the announcers.

Copeland: "Hear it is, after a week of waiting for it we have finally recieved it. The Meltdown Rios vs, Roster match."

Cohen: "Yeah, I'm really excited for this match. Lets see how it plays out."

The official calls for the bell, as Gus and Rios stand face to face in the middle of the ring. Rios begins acting cocky, pointing his finger into Gus' chest, then explaining that Gus needs to lay down and merely let Rios pin him. Gus nods, and slowly backs up. Suddenly, Gus delivers a stiff right hand, knocking Rios back. Rios charges Gus and attempts a clothesline, but Gus ducks out of the way, as Rios stops and turns, only to receive a kick to the stomach by Gus, followed by Gus whipping Rios toward the corner. Rios reverses Gus into the turnbuckle, then charges in only to get a foot in the face and stumble back out.

Copeland: "Gus is looking pretty strong right now."

Cohen: Yeah, the match might end right here with this flurry of offense."

Gus charges toward Rios and attempts a clothesline, only for Rios to duck the clothesline attempt. Gus turns around quickly, only to be kicked in the gut as Rios delivers the Perfect Shot!! Gus rolls over toward the edge of the ring, only for Grand Mystique to suddenly attack Rios from behind, dropping him to the mat with a double axe handle smash! The official is helping Gus to the outside of the ring, while Mystique continues to work over Rios, kicking him on the ground.

Copeland: "Well...Gus was looking strong. I guess this means that he is eliminated."

Cohen: "It's too bad too, I was starting to like the way he dealt with things around here. He was my kind of guy."

Mystique picks Rios up, only to punch and kick him back into the corner. Mystique climbs up and begins punching Rios in the corner, as the fans chant along. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9... Mystique stops, then suddenly drops Rios with the Down to Earth rib breaker!! Rios is showing a bit of pain, as Mystique covers Rios and the official gets down to make the count. 1......................... 2............ Rios puts his foot on the ropes.

Copeland: "What a Down to Earth Rib Breaker! Somehow though Rios is able to kick out."

Cohen: "That was devastating, hopefully Rios will be able to recover."

Mystique gets to his feet and signals for the finish, awaiting Rios to get to his feet. Rios slowly pulls himself up, with his back to Mystique. Mystique rushes in, grabbing Rios from behind and attempts delivering his finisher, the Big Bang but Rios blocks the move by delivering elbows to Mystique's head. Mystique ducks one of the elbows and attempts a Northern lights suplex, but Rios counters by holding onto the ropes. Rios then kicks Mystique and delivers the Perfect Shot, as Mystique is laid out near the corner.

Copeland: "Rios hits another Perfect Shot. Signaling the end og Mystique for this match."

Cohen: "Come on Copeland. Did you really think that Mystique had a chance?"

Copeland: "Does everyone get the chance with your mom, Jackie?

The causes Murf!sh to rush into the ring, but instead of attacking Rios, he rushes to check on Mystique?? Rios gets up, trying to catch his breath. Suddenly, Rios grabs Murf!sh and spins him around attempting to kick him and deliver another Perfect Shot, but Murf!sh catches the foot, only to spin Rios around and deliver the Oyster Cult! Rios drops to the mat, clutching the back of his head. Murf!sh goes back to checking on Mystique, who tells Murf!sh to deal with the match.

Copeland: "Murfish might be spending too much time worrying about Mystique, and not about the match."

Cohen: "That's great though. It gives Rios the chance to recover."

Murf!sh walks over to Rios, unaware that he's regained his composure. Rios trips Murf!sh up, only to lock in the Picture Perfect!! Murf!sh is yelling in pain, as he's about to tap out. Suddenly out of nowhere, Vengeance comes into the ring, rushes the ropes and delivers the Trian and Retribution to Rios, as he still had Murf!sh locked in his submission finisher. Rios falls to the mat, as Murf!sh is clutching his back and legs.

Copeland: "I knew that was going to happen. Murfish spent too much time not focusing on the match. Now Vengeance has entered the match."

Cohen; "Great job by Rios to stick it to Murfish. Now all Rios needs to do is get back in the game after that shot by Vengeance."

Vengeance stands between Rios, who seems out cold, and Murf!sh. Without a second thought, Vengeance grabs Murf!sh by the head and jerks him to his feet. Vengeance then delivers the Judge, Jury and Executioner to Murf!sh!!! This causes Mystique to reenter the ring and attack Vengeance, hitting him from behind. As the official is trying to restore some slight bit of order, Apotheosis now enters the ring and clotheslines Mystique in the back of the head, taking Mystique, Vengeance and himself, all three, up and over the ropes to the outside. Rios is barely picking himself up, as Murf!sh stumbles to his feet and notices the two on one attack of Apotheosis & Vengeance on Mystique.

Copeland: "Good Lord Seabass. This match has turned into a complete mess. It's almost impossible to keep up with."

Cohen: "I know how you feel. I can't stand seeing Rios get demolished like this either."

Murf!sh climbs up the top rope, as he jumps off with a diving body splash onto all three men, taking everyone out. As Rios walks to the edge of the ring, he looks down at the chaos and laughs, pointing at them. Not seeing whats behind him, however, Eric Smith rushes into the ring and rolls Rios up, as the official gets down to make the count. 1....................................... 2....................... Rios kicks out, as he gets back to his feet, only for Eric Smith to stay on the attack, by using his speed to his advantage.

Copeland: "Rios is not laughing anymore. Eric Smith almost got the win right there."

Cohen: "Which would have been a damn shame. Seeing Smith win with a cheap move like that against Rios would've been downright wrong."

Several officials come out and break up the mini fight between the four individuals outside the ring, as all of them are escorted to the back. Meanwhile, back in the ring...

Copeland: "Thank God, now maybe some order can be restored to this hellacious match."

Cohen: "I don't know Copleand, I was quite enjoying all this mayhem."

Eric grabs Rios by the head, jerking him to his feet and delivering several shots to Rios head, knocking him up against the ropes. Eric whips Rios toward the opposite side only for Rios to reverse and attempt a short-armed clothesline. Eric ducks underneath the clothesline, only for Rios to turn into a cutter by Eric Smith!! Eric jumps onto Rios, going for another cover, as the official counts. 1..................................... 2................... Rios kicks out, but Smith still remains quicker with his speed.

Copeland: "Eric is looking real good here. He's staying on him and not letting up.

Cohen: "It won't be long until Rios turns things around though."

Eric Smith goes to the nearby turnbuckle, as he climbs up to the top rope, Eric leaps off with an attempted flipping splash onto Rios, but Rios moves out of the way, causing Eric to hit the mat. As Eric stumbles up, clutching his stomach, Rios quickly kicks Eric Smith in the gut and delivers the Perfect Shot! Both Rios and Eric Smith are laying on the mat, as Rios is trying to catch his breath.

Copeland: "I guess you were right for once seabass."

Cohen: "For Once? Please, I am always right.

This is short lived however, as Eric's new found partner, Agrex climbs up onto the top rope, only to leap off and connect with a shooting star press!!! Eric hooks the leg for the cover, as the official begins counting. 1.................................. 2..................... suddenly Reaper pulls the official's foot, causing the count to stop. As the official turns, he begins yelling at Reaper to remain outside the ring until its his time to come in. Agrex gets to his feet and shoves the official out of the way, however, only to dive through the ropes, spearing Reaper on the outside of the ring. Agrex begins unloading with several fists to Reaper's head, while Rios once again tries to catch his breath.

Copeland: "What is Reaper doing, it looked like Agrex had him. Then Reaper comes and ruins it."

Cohen: "Reaper didn't do anything. Rios would have kicked out anyways."

Suddenly, new comer Daniel Stokes enters the ring and delivers his finisher, The Stokes Driver, as he covers Rios for the count. The official isn't looking in the ring however, as he's watching outside the ring, as Reaper whips Agrex hard into the steel steps. The official suddenly turns back to see the cover, as he makes the count. 1..................................... 2............................. suddenly, again Reaper breaks up the count, this time by entering the ring and personally kicking Stokes in the head.

Copeland: "Damn that Reaper. Stokes had him too."

Cohen: "No he didn't, Stokes wasn't even close. I saw Rios's shoulder go up long before that."

Reaper grabs Stokes by the hair, jerking him to his feet. Out of nowhere, Reaper then hits the Sudden Death on Stokes!! Reaper begins kicking and shoving with his feet against Stokes, as he rolls him out of the ring.

Copeland: "Looks like that's the end of Stokes."

Cohen: "Looks like? No It is. At least for this match.

Milenko stands up on the apron, and is followed by Lapalme and Jesse. Before Milenko even enters the ring, he looks at both of his stable mates and points toward Reaper and Rios. As Jesse and Lapalme enter the ring, Milenko merely stands on the apron.

Copeland: "Here comes Milenko with his goons. Maybe they will stop Rios."

Cohen: "Don't you know by now, that no one can stop Rios?"

Jesse and Lapalme attack Reaper and Rios, as all four men are exchanging rights and lefts. This is only short lived however, as Rios kicks Jesse, delivering the Perfect Shot, while Reaper lifts and drops Lapalme with Hell's Calling!! Both Rios and Reaper stand glaring at Milenko to enter the ring. As it looks like he might, out of nowhere Alex Bowen charges in from behind Reaper and Rios, spearing Milenko through the ropes as both Bowen and Milenko go at it on the arena floor! Reaper raises Joseph Rios' arm in victory, as no more men are left around ringside and it appears Rios has defeated the entire lockerroom?!

Copeland: "I can't believe it. Rios just beat the entire locker room."

Cohen: Well, believe it buddy boy because Rios has just defea...What in the WORLD!!!!

Suddenly, "Supernova Goes Pop" by Powerman 5000 erupts over the speakers as the arena goes crazy!! Everest walks out from the back, standing at the top of the ramp, then Everest begins to walk toward the ring, as Reaper is going nuts wanting him in the ring, and Rios is slowly backing up behind Reaper. Everest stops and turns around only to walk back behind the curtain. The fans begin chanting "We Want Everest!"

Copeland: Listen to this excitement!

Cohen: Ha, you must be talking about the fans, because you talking is NOT exciting.

Everest suddenly returns through the curtain, but isn't coming alone. Everest has a barbwire baseball bat with him, as Reaper still stands his ground, yet Rios ducks out of the ring. Everest slides into the ring, as Reaper charges. Everest ducks under an attempted clothesline by Reaper, only to hit a standing neckbreaker on Reaper. As Everest gets up, he looks down at Reaper, only to be attacked from behind by Rios.

Rios grabs the barbwire bat and begins yelling for Everest to get up. As Everest slowly starts to get to his feet, Rios swings the bat wildly, only for Everest to duck the bat swing and deliver The Rock Slide on Rios!!!! Everest gets to his feet, only to be attacked from behind by Reaper. Reaper lifts Everest for an attempted Hell's Calling but Everest slides out of it, only to spin Reaper around and deliver another Rock Slide, laying Reaper out.

Copeland: Rock Slide! Rock Slide! Rock Slide!

As Everest slowly gets to his feet, Rios is suddenly back up, and spins him around delivering a Perfect Shot, dropping Everest to the mat!! Rios pulls himself up, using the ropes as he looks down at Reaper, who's also trying to pull himself up.

Suddenly, "Sumo" erupts over the sound system, as Rios turns quickly with a very scared look on his face. Manzo walks out through the curtain, and directly down the rampway. Rios and Reaper back away from the entrance of the ring that Manzo is coming toward. Manzo slowly walks up the steps, and enters the ring, simply glaring at both men.

Before anyone does anything, "Perfect Strangers" by Deep Purple erupts over the sound system, as the fans go absolutely wild. Manzo turns toward the entrance, looking for Sincade, but he isn't there. Sincade instead is coming from the crowd, behind Reaper, Rios and Manzo.

Copeland: This is beginning to get a bit out of hand, Jackie, boy.

Sincade rushes into the ring, sprinting passed Rios and Reaper, only to jump onto Manzo's back, attacking him with violent and vicious shots to the head. Both guys fall through the ropes. Sincade gets to his feet, grabbing a nearby folding chair, only to bash it into Manzo's head, full force. Manzo seems more enraged than effected, as he grabs Sincade and violently whips him full force into the guardrail, taking him clear off his feet. The entire lockerroom of officials empties out, seperating these two men.

Meanwhile, back in the ring, Everest is slowly getting to his feet, while Reaper charges in. Everest back body drops Reaper up and over the ropes, to the outside of the floor. As Everest turns toward Reaper on the outside, Rios comes up behind him, waiting for him to turn around. Suddenly the fans erupt with more cheers and mixed reactions.

Cohen: PLEASE GET HIM OUT OF HERE!!!!!

Big Will jumps out from the fans, behind the announcer's desk as he slides into the ring behind Rios. As Everest turns around, Rios kicks Everest and attempts connecting with his finisher, however Everest shoves Rios off, as Rios turns directly into a Willennium!!!! Will stands over a fallen Joseph Rios, as Everest picks up the World Heavyweight Championship.

Everest holds the Championship out to Big Will, as Will grabs the title away from Everest in an aggressive manner. Everest nods his head, as Will raises the Championship up. Suddenly, Everest delivers The Rock Slide onto Big Will, laying him out directly next to Rios. Everest picks up the World Heavyweight Championship, as he looks out toward the fans chanting his name. He then tosses the title down as it falls in the middle of Big Will and Joseph Rios, who both lay out cold.

Copeland: We'll see you this Sunday at Kingdom Come!

The camera begins fading to black, as Everest exits the ring.

END
