MELTDOWN: CHAMPION VS. CHAMPION: "THE ONE" BIG WILL v. BEN LEGEND:
(Harrys)- "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your Main Event of the evening. Scheduled for one fall. Introducing first.. coming in tonight at 265lbs, by way of Manchester, N.H... he is the Elite X Champion, Ben Legend!"
An edited version of Soil" by Halo blasts over the sound system, as Ben Legend walks out onto the staging area with his Elite X Championship around his waist. Legend makes an 'X' symbol with his arms, as pyro shoots off from everywhere on the stage. Legend proceeds to go to each side of the staging area, taunting with the fans as they give him a massive ovation in return. As Legend comes back to the center of the ramp, he proceeds to walk down high-fiving fans along the way. Legend stands directly outside the ring, as he looks to be pumping himself up. Finally, he holds his hands in an 'X' symbol once again, as pyro shoots up from the ring posts, only for Legend to jump up onto the apron and enter the ring.
(Harrys)- "And the opponent.. coming in tonight at 230lbs, by way of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.. he is the World Heavyweight Champion, "The One" Big Will!"
"Famous" by Puddle of Mudd erupts over the sound system, as the fans give a mixed reaction of cheers and boos, still unsure on how to see Big Will. Will walks out on stage, as he goes to both sides of the staging area to receive a similar type of ovation, only with slight boos mixed in. As Will gets back to the center of the ramp, he undoes his Heavyweight Championship from around his waist, only to walk half way down and raise it up high over his head. Pyro shoots up from all over the staging area, as the fans go crazy. Will places the Championship over his shoulder, as he proceeds to walk down to the ring, climbing up the stairs and entering the ring.
Ben Legend and Big Will walk to the center of the ring, each with their Championship held over their shoulder. Legend glares into Big Will's face, as Will nods in approval of the newly returned Superstar. The official seperates the two men, as he asks each to return to their respective corners. The official calls for the bell, as the match is underway.
(Cohen)- "This match has Championship written all over it. It's just a shame that neither man has the guts to put their title on the line."
(Copeland)- "Well, with all due respect to both Champions, each man just came off one of the biggest shows in W.Z.C.W. history. While Legend quickly made his statement clear, Will had a long hard battle to win his Championship."
(Cohen)- "So you're telling me after one hard match, Will's too weak to be a man?"
(Copeland)- "No, that's not it at all. Show some respect to our new Heavyweight Champion."
(Cohen)- "I'll show him respect when he shows me he'll be a fighting Champion, not a weak girl."
Both wrestlers walk back to the center of the ring, as Legend seems to begin talking smack to Will, only for the two men to tie up. Legend quickly shows off his strength and power, by shoving Will backwards, as Will rolls into the corner. Will grabs the top ropes, as he glares off at Legend, only to nod and pull himself back up.
Will goes back to the center of the ring, as both men lock up again, only for Legend to shove Will once again back into the corner. Legend poses off for the fans, as they cheer for him, only for Will to pull himself up and walk back to the center of the ring. Legend begins trash talking Will, only for Will to slap him across the face. This causes Legend to fire back with a right hand, only for Will to answer back with one of his own. Both men begin trading punches in the center of the ring, only for Legend to slowly start winning the brawl.
(Cohen)- "I told you he was a girl, he just bitch slapped Legend across the face. What's next, is he gonna hit him with his purse?"
(Copeland)- "I think Will made a statement that he's not afraid of Legend, or the power he has."
Legend shoves Will up against the ropes, only to whip him to the far side, as Will bounces off Legend attempts a clothesline, only for Will to duck underneath and bounce off the opposite side. As Legend turns around, he's met quickly by Big Will who connects with a flying forearm smash, dropping Legend to the mat, only for Legend to roll out of the ring. Will nips up in the ring, as the fans cheer him. Legend smacks the ring apron on the outside of the ring, then regroups by walking around ringside.
Will doesn't want to slow the pace down, as he quickly rushes to the side of the ring, only to springboard up and over the ropes, and down across Legend in a crossbody block. Legend is too strong, however, as he catches Will in mid-air, only to rush with Will in his arms, slamming him back first against the ring post, dropping him in pain on the outside of the ring. Legend stomps on Will outside the ring, only to grab him by the hair and pick him back up.
(Cohen)- "My Goodness would you look at the power this Ben Legend has. It seems like only yesterday that he wasn't much bigger than a male cheerleader on a mission. Now he's one of the new big things in the company."
(Copeland)- Copeland glares at Cohen "Are you trying to get us sued?"
The official is demanding both Superstars bring the action back into the ring, as he begins his count. 1, 2, 3, 4... Legend whips Will hard into the ring steps, only to slide into the ring, then back out breaking the count. The official is slightly upset, but has no choice but to restart the count. Legend slowly pauses, only to wait for Will to get to his feet, seemingly trying to set Will up for something big.
As Will pulls himself up, Legend rushes in and attempts a spear to Will, only for Will to be just a little bit quicker, leap frogging up and over Legend, as Legend goes shoulder first into the ring steps. Will slides back into the ring as the official was on 6, only to slide back out himself breaking the count. Will grabs Legend only to pull him up and shove him back into the ring. As Will climbs back up onto the apron, he then climbs up the turnbuckle, and awaits Legend to get to his feet.
(Cohen)- "What'd those steps ever do to him? He just wiped 'em out!"
(Copeland)- "Well, I'm pretty sure they just gave him a huge headache."
As Legend starts getting to his feet, Will springs on the top rope, only to flip around and leap backwards with a moonsault attempt on Legend. Legend catches Will in mid-air, once again, only to snake-eyes him across the top turnbuckle and rush the far side ropes. Legend comes off the ropes, and connects with a bone-crunching clothesline that flips Will upside down and inside out.
(Cohen)- "My Gawd, he just killed our World Heavyweight Champion!"
(Copeland)- "HOLY SHIT!"
(Cohen)- "Hey jackass, are you trying to get us sued now?"
Legend places an arm over Will's limp body, as the official begins to count. 1....................... 2............... Will's foot barely finds the bottom rope, as the official stops counting and makes Legend aware of the foot on the ropes.
(Cohen)- "What a coward's way out, the ropes aren't meant to be used for stopping pinfalls, they're to be used for holding the ring together. Nothing gets on my nerves more than seeing a match continue when the individual who used the ropes was too weak to kick out. He's beat, end of story."
(Copeland)- "It was great ring awareness on the part of Big Will. The mark of a true ring-general."
Legend gets to his feet, only to walk to the far side of the ring and motion for Big Will to get to his feet. As Will slowly begins to get up, using the ropes to pul himself, Legend rushes in going for another spear, only for Will to once again leap frog up and over Legend, as Legend dives shoulder first into the turnbuckles. Will stumbles away from the corner, as he quickly positions himself, as Legend stumbles back around.
Will attempts a Willennium, only for Legend to catch Will's foot, and completely use brute strength in swinging Will by his leg, all the way around, and through the ropes to the outside of the ring. The fans begin chanting "Holy Shit" as the official seems shocked at the shear power displayed by Legend.
(Cohen)- "He just swung him like Babe knocking one outta the ball park. He was going, going, gone."
(Copeland)- "At this rate, I don't know how much longer Will can hold up against the power Legend is showing everyone here tonight. What a match."
The fan's cheers quickly turn to boo's, as the camera suddenly picks up Joseph Rios walking down the rampway. Ben Legend stands in the ring, as he turns to see Rios only to glare and seemingly question why Rios is at ringside. Meanwhile, Will slowly begins pulling himself up by the apron.
(Cohen)- "Hey, Joseph's here. Look's like Will's celebration is coming early!"
(Copeland)- "Well this is rather unfortunate. This was a nicely even contested match-up, and now it's apparently going to be ruined because Rios has made his way to ringside."
(Cohen)- "How dare you. Ruined. Why would you say such a thing, how do you know he's here to interfere? He told Will at the top of the show he was throwing him a party fit for a Champion."
Rios walks over and helps Will to his feet, only for Will to seem puzzled as to why Rios is out there. Legend quickly grabs Will by the hair, as he jerks him up from the arena floor, onto the apron, only to drag him over the ropes and back into the ring. Rios moves around ringside, only to grab a chair and unfold it, sitting and watching on.
(Cohen)- "See, he's here to watch the match. Ruined..." Cohen shakes his head in disgust.
(Copeland)- "Well, as long as his butt stays on that seat I'll believe it when I see it. Until then, I doubt Rios is down here to just view the match, we have monitor's in the back."
Legend picks Will up in a bear-hug, only to squeeze tightly in an attempt to make Will submit. Will rives in pain, but refuses to quit as the official asks him repeatedly. As the fans begin chanting for Will, it seems to give him strength, as Will rakes the eyes of Legend, breaking the hold. This allows Will to rush away, only to bounce off the ropes and attempt another flying forearm, but Legend ducks out of the way, as Will takes out the official accidentally. The fans begin cheering louder and louder, until the notice Rios get to his feet and fold the chair he was sitting in.
(Cohen)- "Officials out!! Officials out!!"
(Copeland)- "And Rios is up!!! Rios is up!!!"
(Cohen)- "Quit assuming things. He's been sitting on a hard metal chair, he could have a cramp."
Legend turns and goes to pick Will up from the mat, only to receive a Willennium from out of nowhere, as both men lay on the mat practically out of it. Rios suddenly slides INTO the ring, with the chair, only to stand in the middle of both laid out individuals.
(Copeland)- "Now what's he doing?! Rios is in the damn ring with a chair."
(Cohen)- "Maybe he just wants to see the action from an even closer position?"
(Copeland)- "If he was any closer, he'd BE the action."
(Cohen)- "Well he is a former World Heavyweight Champion."
Rios picks the chair up, as he's watching the official, who's slowly starting to come to, then he turns to watch Legend as he motions for Legend to get to his feet. Will is also slowly starting to get up behind Rios. The fans begin booing wildly, as they know Legend is about to get drilled with the chair.
(Cohen)- "Rios is about to knock one outta the ball park!"
(Copeland)- "This is bullshit. This was a great match until Rios stuck his nose into it."
As Legend gets up and stumbles backwards, Rios swings the chair, but curves completely as he suddenly smashes the chair into Big Will's head?!?!?!?!?!
(Cohen) & (Copeland)- "HOLY SHIT!!!!"
(Cohen)- "Wait, what the hell just happened?"
(Copeland)- "Rios just took Will's head off!!!"
The official calls for the bell, as Legend seems to be puzzled, only to then reveal a sick smile that's come across his face. Rios drops the chair, only to smile back as both Legend and Rios shake hands!!! Rios raises Legend's hand?!?!?!
(Cohen)- "This was all apart of Joseph Rios' plan? Legend's with Rios?"
(Copeland)- "But so was Will, wasn't he?!?!"
Will has been busted open by the chair shot, as he's barely moving, but still trying to find the strength to get up. Rios grabs Will, only to pick him up and deliver a Perfect Shot. Legend then drags a lifeless Will toward the corner, as Legend climbs up top and hits a Kodak Moment. The fans are booing insanely from the events that have just unfolded, as Rios demands a microphone. Joseph Rios sits down beside Big Will and begins to speak..
(Joseph Rios)- "Well Champ, I told you it'd be a night you'd never forget. You see, I know you likely can't hear me right now but sooner or later you'll ask for the tape of this show, and you'll wanna know why I did what I did. You see, it's because of you, because of your drive to become something that you aren't.. the best." Rios grabs the World Heavyweight Championship and pulls it over to him.
"You insisted on going through with the Kingdom Come match. You insisted on challenging me, your leader, your friend, your mentor when you had NO RIGHT. I'm the longest reigning Champion in W.Z.C.W. history. I'm the single most dominate Superstar in this entire industry, and you aren't even on my damn level. Then, to top it off, you can't even beat me fairly, you win by a fluke, you win by a roll-up?
Well I have a news flash for you. I'm still the World Heavyweight Champion, I'm still the greatest Superstar in this company, because you didn't beat me. You got lucky. And this is the payment you get for being lucky. Will, you were apart of the best thing going today. You were apart of Dynasty, and now.. now look at you, laying laid out in a puddle of your own blood. You can't even hear a word I'm saying, because you're so weak, so helpless without me." Rios stands up, as he places the Championship across his shoulder, and points at Ben Legend who walks over beside him.
"This man, Ben Legend, he knows. He understands. You see Will, somewhere along the lines you forgot what it meant to be apart of a group. You lost your place and you paid the price. So meet your replacement. And as far as the Championship goes.. make sure you shine my title up nicely, because I'm taking it back." Rios raises the World Heavyweight Championship, as fans begin throwing cans, bottles and food items into the ring. Suddenly, an unknown voice can be heard...
(Unknown Man)- "Excuse me, Excuse me. I've been ordered to come here by the Board of Directors, and I have some news that regards the World Heavyweight Championship that you're holding. You see, for the previous few monthes the Board have been watching very closely at the series of events regarding W.Z.C.W. and it's Heavyweight Champion, as well as the series of events which lead it's former Champion to hold onto it for so long.
It's been ordered that the World Heavyweight Championship.. BE STRIPPED from it's current Champion, and under the official ruling of the Board of Directors, I hereby make that decision final. Next week more information will be brought into light on what will happen to determine the next Champion, however until then I'm deeming the current title in the ring.. vacant."
Joseph Rios seems almost outraged by the decision, as he throws the Championship to the mat, and begins yelling at the man up on stage. Legend is confused at what's going on, and the camera slowly fades out on the Champion, or rather former Champion, "The One" Big Will.. who's been unable to hear any of this, as he's laid out in a pool of his own blood.
