Post by Jayson Ryder on May 18, 2008 20:45:01 GMT -5
* The show opens with its usual pyro and No Way Out By Theory of a Deadman. and the fans are ready for a great show. Then the camera pans to Jayson Ryder sitting in his room with The Mighty Ahmed. *
Jayson Ryder: For all of those who did not see, Pure Evil had a few choice words for me. Lets play it back.
* We see Pure Evil saying that if Jayson Ryder excepts to be Ahmeds partner and beats Pure Evil and Andrew, then he will retire. *
Jayson Ryder: Now I am sure Pure Evil would LOVE that, but it is not going to happen. Pure Evil will never lay his hands on me, in or outside of the ring. Besides, I have a man so dominant it would be foolish of me not to use him. So Pure Evil, Andrew Ryder, get ready, and good luck, because you will need it.
______________________________________________________________________________
Gary West: Well, this night is promised to be another eventful one, as we have The Mighty Ahmed and a mystery partner vs Pure Evil and Andrew Ryder!
Joey Minor: Don't forget we also have the FOW World Title presented to Keith Danielson!
Gary West: Well, lets get started.
* Shane Storm makes his way to the ring. *
Gary West: Well, this will be an interesting matchup. Shane Storm defeated both Killer and Fox without doing a move!
* Shane makes it to the ring and gets in. Then, Killer makes his way to the ring. The bell rings, and both men lock up. *
Joey Minor: They have gotten farther then last week. Lets... wait, what the hell?
* Suddenly, Fox jumps the barricade from the fans and pulls Killer out by the legs and they start fighting into the crowd, a repeat of last week. Shane Storm stands pissed off in the ring.*
Gary West: I think he is the first person in history to go 1-1 without throwing a punch or doing a move!
Joey Minor: Oh no, he has the mic.
Shane Storm: Alright, tonight was my shot to prove that I had what it takes to be in FOW, but it was ruined again. So you no what, I am making an open challenge to ANYONE on the FOW roster to face me at Heaven's On Fire, inside of a Steel Cage!
* He drops the mic and exits the ring. We go to commercial break. *
______________________________________________________________________________
Gary West: I wonder who will except Shane Storms challenge?
Joey Minor: Maybe we will find out tonight.
Gary West: Let's hope so.
* Lucy Starr comes out first, followed by Marquis Dupree. Then, Sean cage steps out from behind the curtain. *
Sean Cage: I'm here to inform everyone that The Punjabi Nightmare has failed to show up yet again. So as of right now, The Punjabi Nightmare is FIRED! Oh and since I am out here right now, I also have another announcement to make. Since Mr. Fox found a need to stick his nose into someone else business, I am here by throwing Fox out of the building and canceling the match between him and Kaz. That is all.
* Sean turns around and heads back to the locker room. Marquis Dupree rolls up a distracted Lucy. 1...2... KICKOUT!*
Gary West: Wow, he almost stole one!
Joey Minor: He is the smartest man on this roster! Next to me, of course.
* Lucy gets up angry and levels Marquis with a clothesline. She then locks in a headlock. Marquis finally powers out, and locks in a headlock of his own. Lucy struggles, and gets to the rope. Marquis breaks at three. He picks her up into a sitting position and starts delivering knees to the spine. He then picks her up, and delivers a back breaker. *
Gary West: Marquis Dupree working on the back thus far.
Joey Minor: Another smart move. The back may be the worse thing to lose in the ring.
* Dupree locks in a bow and arrow submission, and Lucy struggles to get out. Instead, Dupree breaks the hold and hooks a drop kick to the back. He then goes for the pin. 1...2...KICKOUT! *
Gary West: Another close fall.
* Dupree gets Lucy up, and she smacks him in the face. Dupree stumbles back, and Lucy hooks a roll up. 1...2...KICKOUT! Lucy gets up, and wips Marquis, she goes to back body drop him, but Dupree lands on his feet, and knock the ref down. Marquis pulls out a pair of brass knuckles from his tights, and levels Lucy. Dupree returns his brass knuckles to his trousers, and goes for the pin. The ref comes to. 1...2...3! Ring the bell. *
Gary West: NOT AGAIN!
Joey Minor: He is brilliant!
* Dupree leaves the ring, and Lucy grabs a mic. *
Lucy Starr: I have been on a losing streak lately, but that all ends at Heavens on Fire. Because I am excepting Shane Storms challenge!
* She drops the mic and exits the ring. *
Gary West: Wow, Lucy Starr vs Shane Storm, in a steel cage!
* Commercial.*
______________________________________________________________________________
*Sean Cage is shown sitting at his desk and a knock is heard on his door*
Sean Cage: Come in.
*Robbie Vicious walks into his office*
Sean Cage: Hey Robbie, nice to see ya.
Robbie Vicious: Hey man. So you wanted to see me about something?
Sean Cage: Yes, unfortunately Big O had some personal problems and could not make it to tonight's show again. So I just wanted to inform you that you have won by forfeit.
Robbie Vicious: Oh man, what a bummer.
Sean Cage: I know you don't like to win like that but there's nothing we can do about it.
Robbie Vicious: Yeah, I hear ya man.
Sean Cage: Well that was all I needed, thanks.
Robbie Vicious: Ok, thanks. Hey, while I'm in here can I ask you something?
Sean Cage: Yeah, sure, what is it?
Robbie Vicious: I want revenge on Marquis Dupree for the cheap shot he pulled with that flag on me in last week's match.
Sean Cage: Here's what I'll do. At the PPV Heaven's On Fire, it will be Robbie Vicious verses Marquis Dupree. Not only that but it will be in a Flag match. In one corner will the flag of Quebec and in the other corner will be the American flag. The first one to grab their country's flag out of the corner will be named the winner. How's that sound to ya?
Robbie Vicious: That's perfect. Thanks boss.
Sean Cage: No problem.
*Robbie exits the office as Sean Cage sits back down. We then see a split screen. On one side, The Mighty Ahmed and Jayson Ryder heading to the ring. On the other, Andrew Ryder and Pure Evil. *
Gary West: The tag team match up is next!
______________________________________________________________________________
* We see Pure Evil and Andrew Ryder both come out together. Then we see Jayson Ryder come to the ring with The Mighty Ahmed. Andrew and Pure Evil occupies the ring, while Jayson and Ahmed stay outside. Jayson grabs the mic. *
Jayson Ryder: Well without further adue, pleas welcome Mr. Ahmed's tag team partner. He stands at 6'9, weighing in at 354 pounds. Being accompanied by Vampress. FROM HELL IT'S SELF! XUSE!
* The Show Must Go On by Drop Dead Gorgeous blasts over the speakers. The lights dim, and two figures walk out from behind the curtain. Suddenly, a giant wall of fire explodes up infront of the two. They walk through the fire, and we get a good look at them for the first time. Vampress is carrying a bucket of blood. They get to the ring, and Xuse shakes hands with Jayson Ryder. *
Gary West: Oh... my... GOD!
Joey Minor: For the first time in my life... I am speechless.
* We start off with Pure Evil and The Mighty Ahmed in the ring. They lock up, and The Mighty Ahmed shoves Pure Evil to his back. Evil quickly gets up, and they lock up again. This time, EVil shoves Ahmed back. They lock up a third time, and this time Ahmed delivers a boot to the gut. He then starts clubbing Pure Evil in the back. He knocks Evil down with a knee to the face, then starts stomping on Evil. He goes for an elbow drop, but Evil rolls out of the way. Ahmed gets up, and Evil hits him with a few right hands. He then picks Ahmed up into a bear hug. Ahmed breaks the hold, and picks Evil up into the hold himself. Evil delivers a thumb to the eye, then goes for a big boot, but Ahmed catches the foot, and trips Evil. *
Gary West: Pretty even match thus far.
Joey Minor: Indeed.
* Ahmed gets Evil up, but Evil hits a European uppercut, sending Ahmed back. Evil gets the tag to Andrew. *
Gary West: Well, Andrew Ryders in ring debut.
Joey Minor: Let's see what he's made of.
* Ahmed goes for a lock up, but Andrew goes behind and takes Ahmed down with a German suplex. Andrew then follows up with a head lock. *
Joey Minor: What do ya know, Andrew can wrestle!
* Ahmed stands up with Andrew still in headlock form. Ahmed tosses Andrew over his shoulder. Andrew gets up, but is nailed with a shoulder tackle. Ahmed gets him up, and goes for a power bomb, but Andrew jumps off the shoulders and tags Evil. Pure Evil goes quickly to the top rope and jumps off, nailing a drop kick! He sends Ahmed all the way to the corner, where Xuse gets the tag. *
Gary West: Well, what athleticism by Evil, but here comes Xuse for the first time.
Joey Minor: Business just picked up.
* Pure Evil charges Xuse, but gets a uppercut for his troubles. Evil charges again, but Xuse tosses him into the turnbuckle. He then starts choking him with his boot, and doesn't stop till the 4 count. Xuse then hooks a throat thrust. Evil falls back and get the tag. Andrew comes in, and just stares at Xuse. *
Gary West: Xuse is impressive.
* Xuse and Andrew lock up, and Xuse backs Andrew into a corner, but Andrew hooks a few knife edge chops. He then hits a big boot. Suddenly, Jayson Ryder pulls Pure Evil off the apron, and Evil just looks at him. Evil chases him to the other side of the ring, where an awaiting Mighty Ahmed clotheslines him. They fight on the outside. Andrew is watching the carnage, but is swung around into a One Way Ticket To Hell. Xuse pins. 1...2... Andrew goes to grab the rope but Jayson pulls it away...3! *
Gary West: My God, the carnage!
Joey Minor: What a match though!
* Evil and Ahmed continues to brawl, and Vampress passes Xuse in the bucket. Xuse proceeds to dump the bucket of blood on Andrew. He then strikes Andrew in the head with the bucket. Jayson Ryder is seen yelling at Andrew in the ring, and Ahmed and Evil continue to brawl as we go to commercial break. *
______________________________________________________________________________
*As we return from commercial, the carnage is over and General Manager Sean Cage is standing in the ring. He's got a big black bag sitting next to him*
Sean Cage: Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for the FOW Championship presentation. So please welcome at this time, the FOW World Champion, Keith Danielson!
*Keith Danielson's entrance music starts to play and he makes his way through the entrance curtains. The fans start to cheer as he makes his way to the ring. He gets in the ring and has a worried look on his face. He is handed a microphone by Sean Cage*
Keith Danielson: Umm Mr. Cage...there's something I need to tell you...
Sean Cage: What's that?
Keith Danielson: Well...I um...I lost the championship title, please don't fire me!
Sean Cage: Keith you...
Keith Danielson: I looked everywhere! All though the arena, all through my house, hell I even went to my cousins house who lives in Michigan, that I haven't visited in 3 years and checked there just because it was the only place I could think of that I haven't looked!
Sean Cage: Keith, listen..
Keith Danielson: Please Mr. Cage don't fire me, I swear I'll find it somehow, someway, just don't fire...
Sean Cage: KEITH! You didn't loose the title...you never had the title with you...it's right here in the black bag beside me.
*Keith looks at the bag next to Sean Cage and stands there with a look of shock mixed with relief*
Keith Danielson: Oh...I knew that, I was just, you know, pullin ya leg haha.
Sean Cage: Sure. Anyways, we don't have much time so lets just get right to it. Keith, I am proud to present to you, the FOW World Championship!
*Sean Cage pulls the title belt out of the bag and Keith gets a huge grin across his face*
Sean Cage: Keith, with this title, you are not only marked as the best man in the company but you are now marked as the standard at which everyone in the FOW must set their sights on now. With this title, you represent FOW and everything surrounding it. And I am proud to present to you, the first ever champion in FOW history, this FOW World Title belt.
*Sean hands the FOW World Title belt over to Keith, who then places it over his shoulder*
Keith Danielson: Man, this feels great, I can't believe...
*Just then "Lets Go To War" by The Murderdolls starts to play and The Deviant One makes his way down to the ring. Keith and Sean stand in the ring with confused looks upon their faces. The Deviant One takes the microphone from Keith Danielson*
Sean Cage: Deviant, this better be important.
The Deviant One: Oh it's important alright.
*Deviant One gets face to face with Keith*
The Deviant One: I'm out here to make an OFFICIAL challenge to you, Mr. Olympic Gold Medalist, for your championship at the PPV Heaven's On Fire. So what do ya say Keith? How about we give these fans one more to remember like we did last week. The Deviant One verses Keith Danielson...FOW World Championship on the line.
*Keith reaches over and takes the microphone from Sean Cage*
Keith Danielson: You're on bucko!
*The fans start to cheer heavily for the rematch between the men. The two men stand face to face as the scene fades to black*
______________________________________________________________________________
SHOW ENDS
Jayson Ryder: For all of those who did not see, Pure Evil had a few choice words for me. Lets play it back.
