BS: Welcome back folks.
GM: I don't know how you're gonna top off a match like that, but I would like to see you try.
BS: Well let's get to the ring then cause it's time for the I Quit match between former EWI World Champion Gemini and 'Iceman' Steve Radder.
'Iceman' Steve Radder, accompanied by Kelly, was the first one to hit the ring. As he was walking to the ring the chorus of cheers were deafening throughout the stadium. Once inside Radder played the crowd for a bit before Gemini was announced to follow. The lights flicker, then go out. The EWI Extremetron comes to life as it shows a picture of the sun eclipsing. The standard voices can be heard in the background, as the eclipse reaches its epoch. As the eclipse occurs, the image morphs into the shape of asian symbol for chi. It stands still for a second, then the black part of the chi slowly bleeds into the white. As it happens, the voices become louder in the background. This time however, the voices aren't asking a question, they're making a statement. The voices chant a single word louder and louder.
"RAGE."
A massive pyrotechnics display goes off on the stage, temporarily blinding the fans. When the stars clear from their eyes, the fans see the solitary figure of Gemini standing motionless on the ramp. The pop is huge as the fans see that Gemini is dressed in the costume and gear that he wore for his match vs Eli Flair. A old style goalie mask, Jason style adorns his face. One half of the mask has been spray painted black. Instead of his normal black and white tights, Gemini is wearing black jeans and a black motorcycle jacket zipped up to the throat.
BS: Oh my folks, Gemini hasn't worn those clothes since his second match here in the EWI! Every fan that saw that match knows what a savage beating Gemini took and dished out.
Gemini strides down to the ring and ignores the fans on his way down.
BS: That's pretty much the match that cemented him as an up and comer here in the EWI, even though he lost. I don't think anyone expected that just a few months later Gemini would be a former EWI heavyweight champ though. I doubt even Gemini thought that.
Gemini vaults the ring ropes and stalks directly up to Radder, who begins to mock him and his attire. Gemini vaults the ring ropes and stalks directly up to Radder, who begins to mock him and his attire. As the ref is trying to separate the two they push him aside and begin to throw punches at one another. The ref finally gets up and calls for the bell to start the match. Both Gemini and Radder fire punches back and forth until it's Gemini that gains the upper advantage. With Radder staggered Gemini connects with a standing dropkick that knocks Radder towards his ring corner. Radder comes bouncing out of the corner and is met with a face buster from Gemini.
BS: And these two are starting out a ball of fire like you would expect.
GM: Well they better shouldn't they? I mean they are the money makers of EWI are they not?
BS: You're all about the dollar aren't you?
GM: Dollar, Mark, Pound, Wan. Whatever the currency is I'm all about it.
Gemini then picks up Radder again and goes to whip him into the ropes, but Radder reverses it and Gemini comes bouncing off the ropes into a waiting Radder and he connects with a Death Valley Driver. With Gemini down Radder quickly goes to the corner and hops on the top turnbuckle and delivers a devastating guillotine legdrop right across the face of Gemini.
BS: Good Lord! That had to knock Gemini out!
GM: Which one?
BS: Gemini...the one on the ground.
GM: Yeah, but I mean which one of Gemini? Which persona?
BS: You're too much.
GM: Yep that's what the ladies say.
BS: (Groan) Please.
Radder then goes to pick up Gemini and tries to hit with a short arm clothesline, but Gemini ducks it and catches Radder from behind with a Spine Punch. With Radder cringing in pain Gemini quickly slips on a reverse DDT and then stands over his fallen opponent. Gemini, after a moment, continues the attack by picking up Radder and drops him back down with a scoop bodyslam. He then heads towards the nearest corner and climbs to the second turnbuckle only to come off with a flying knee towards Radder, but Radder moves in time and Gemini connects with only the canvas.
BS: Back and forth these two go!
GM: Now that Spine Punch was pretty unique. I liked that one.
BS: Oh you mean you're into the match now?
GM: Hey it's two thousand. It's all good.
As both are slow to get up it is actually Gemini that is first on his feet. As Gemini rushes a now standing Radder he is caught with what seems to be a clothesline in the beginning, but Radder maneuvers around and connects with On The Rocks (reverse Rock Bottom) instead. Now with Radder in control he goes to pick up Gemini and sets him up for Absolute Zero, but Gemini pushes out before Radder can lock the move in.
BS: And would you look at this. Gemini and Radder are now face to face again! We're back to square one here folks!
GM: You know. I might have been wrong. Maybe this league is good enough to be apart of.
BS: What? Look over your contract again?
GM: You think I should?
BS: I would.
Radder and Gemini battle back and forth, Radder unloading with lefts and rights, Gemini trying to chop the Extreme legend down. Gemini whips Radder to the ropes and connects with a larait clotheline, flattening Radder. Gemini lays in a few stomps, then goes to put Radder in a figure four. Radder shows his veteran experience by drawing his legs back and kicking Gemini in the gut, staggering him. Radder then bounces back up to his feet and spins Gemini up, then down into a wicked powerbomb.
BS: Fantastic powerbomb from Radder! He's really giving this one everything he's got!
GM: And for his sake he better not give up cause this Gemini is a mad man!
BS: Gemini's hurting now, it may have been a mistake going for the figure four.
GM: He knew what he was getting into. He's the one that wanted this match and he got it. Hey if he can't handle it then he can say I quit right now!
BS: I dont' think those words are in his vocabulary right now.
GM: I don't think there are ALOT of words in Gemini's vocabulary.
Radder drags Gemini over by the ropes and begins stomping him through the matt. Gemini, absorbs every brutal hit without a word, merely trying to get back to his feet. Radder is frustrated by the mask, and tries to tear it off Gemini's face so his punches will have full effect. Gemini blocks his attempt, and bounces Radders face off the mask in a jawbreaker type move. Radder staggers back and Gemini struggles back to his feet.
BS: Gemini's battered, but far from down, neither man has even bothered trying to make the other quit yet. It's like they want to suck the maximum amount of pain possible from their opponent.
GM: Well you have to give credit where credit is due.
BS: Yes these two are giving their all and....
GM: These two? I'm talking about Dupree for ALLOWING the match!
BS: You're just not a happy man today are you?
GM: You get called out of retirement and tell me how you feel.
The match goes back and forth for a while, Gemini and Radder exchanging an awe-inspiring series of moves. Gemini hits radder with a Powerslam, followed by a gorilla press. Radder recovers, then hits three rolling suplexes in a row, then follows up with a piledriver. Attempting to capitalize on his momentary advantage, Radder attempts to rip the mask off of Gemini again, but Gemini stops him with a low blow, then snaps a vicious ddt off on Radder's skull. Following up with a guillotine drop and a heavy elbow to the head.
BS: Gemini is pounding on Radder! Just pounding! He still hasn't even asked for the mike!
GM: Hey I told you he doesn't know alot of words. Probably doesn't even know how to ask for a microphone.
BS: Oh would you please grow up?
Gemini whips Radder to the ropes, then catches Radder in a cranial claw. Radder howls in pain and desperation, then pulls another move out of the arsenal. He breaks the hold with an inverted atomic drop, kicks Gemini in the gut, and gives him an awesome bomb through the spanish announcers table!
BS: Awesome Bomb! Awesome Bomb! Good lord! Gemini must be broken in half!
GM: Hey now he can finally be the two people he proclaims he is!
BS: I told you to stop that! Wait, who's that?
GM: Well he's wearing black and.....oh no you didn't tell me HE was in the EWI!
BS: It's Pat Black! Where did he come from? HE'S GOT A CHAIR! GOOD LORD HE JUST PULVERIZED GEMINI WITH THE CHAIR! Gemini's taking an absolute beating!
GM: (Smugly) And...this is something new?
BS: And Radder is merely watching the action from the ring? He's laughing folks! Radder is laughing at this brutal assault by Black!
GM: Hell can you blame him? Take a breather Steve ya earned it!
BS: The mask has been knocked off! What little defense Gemini has against the chair is gone! Black is.... stopping? He looks shocked! No... no wait... he's laughing! What is going on here?
GM: I don't know, but I've NEVER seen Pat Black take backsteps in my life!
Pat Black backs away from Gemini for a second, paralyzed with laughter. Radder is no longer laughing, now he has a completely horrified expression on his face. Gemini staggers to his feet, then flips his bloody hair back as the camera gets a good look at his face for the first time this evening.
GM: DEAR GOD!
BS: HIS LIPS ARE SEWN SHUT! GEMINI'S LIPS ARE SEWN SHUT! WHAT A MADMAN! HOW COULD HE HAVE DONE THIS?
GM: Uh... I would say with some thread and a needle?
BS: Oh, thank YOU CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!
The camera does indeed show that Gemini's lips are sewn shut with heavy black sutures. Calmly Gemini picks up the chair that Black discarded, then smashes it over the head of the former champion. Black stops giggling when the first chairshot knocks him to his knees, and the second hammers him into unconciousness.
BS: Gemini's taking control again! And you know that had to feel good after the last few weeks of sneak attacks by Black!
GM: (Grumbling) Why did I pick up the phone...
Gemini drops the chair, then turns and faces the ring. At the same time, the EWI extremetron flickers back to life, and Gemini's face appears on the screen.
G: Do you get it now Radder? Does your feeble little mind understand? We will do *ANYTHING* to win. We will not *STOP*. There is not one iota of mercy in our twisted soul. You may very well believe that we are a rookie, but by the end of this match you will know, as will everyone else, that WE ARE YOUR PERSONAL HELL!
This ring is our church radder, blood is our holy water. We are the high priest of pain. And we welcome *YOU* Steve Radder, to the *MASS OF DESTRUCTION*.
BS: He's insane! Gemini has gone insane! Why would he do this to himself?
Gemini climbs back on the ring apron, not bothering to put the mask back on. He stops outside the ring ropes and waves a childlike hello to the still stunned Radder inside the ring. The camera clearly shows Gemini smiling around the heavy black stitches in his lips. Radder shakes off the shock of what he's just seen and braces himself for the impending assault.
BS: And this match is about to continue! Wait a sec......what the.....it sounds like a helicopter.....HERE?
GM: (looking around) A helicopter here? What the HELL did I get myself into? Dupree and I are gonna have a talk VERY soon!
BS: We hear the sound folks but no chopper in sight........
(A loud bang is heard, a hole in the corner of the ring has just been blown open sending Radder and Gemini back with the shockwave and the hold has smoke pouring out of it.)
BS: What the hell?
GM: What's that saying? Oh yeah....I think business is about to pick up!
(The everything goes to black for about a minute and when they come back on Steve Radder and Gemini are both laid out in the ring.)
BS: Wait just a damn minute someone is coming from the hole....it's COMMANDO! With...night vision goggles on and a huge grin on his face, he just threw two chairs in the ring and is pulling a table through the hole, and a sack over his shoulder.
GM: Well it looks like this Commando has brought his bag of tricks tonight!
BS: The ref for this match is trying to stop Commando from doing what he has planned.
GM: Oh yeah like that'll work. Didn't he try that for Black? And look what happened!
BS: The ref is trying and.....DAMN! Commando just kicked him square in the....
GM: Go on. Say it. Don't be afraid.
BS: He kicked him in the jewels and the ref is calling for the bell. He's had enough!
GM: And this was turing out to be such a decent match too!
BS: Commando setting up the table, and now opening up the sack, out comes another bag, a microphone, and two light bulbs? Commando opening up that second bad over the table and its TACKS, all over the table.
GM:Wonder what those are for?
BS: Well Gemini is beginning to get back up now, and Commando grabs one of the chairs, and heads toward Gemini and prepares to plaster Gemini with that chair, but stops chair in mid-motion and gives Gemini a spinning hook kick, sending Gemini's jaw into another TIME ZONE!
GM:Gemini is out cold!
BS: But while Commando was busy with Gemini Radder also regained his senses and tried to come from behind Commando but gets a back kick to the chin for his troubles, sending him down with a thud. Now Commando going for the mic.
Commando: Well well well, Gemini, the EWI's FORMER champion. What was that you said Gemini, if I beat you in that match, you would credit me as a TRUE champion, and no longer make stupid wise cracks, all the while calling me a liar. Well let's just kinda review, London, I beat you fair and square according to the rules of the match, no under handed tricks, nobody helped me, but after the fact, I see you cutting a promo, talking about me not being a fighting champion, well Gemini I don't book the matches, so if you wanna blame somebody blame Zeiba, but you go on babbling once again with your corny wise cracks, calling it a fluke that I took you to school, totally going back on your word, so that would make you a.........LIAR yeah that's the stuff, which would put you under the category of.....hypocrite, gee Gemini, you've done a lot of the pot calling the kettle black as of late, maybe you need one of these.
(Commando goes back and picks up one of the light bulbs)
Commando: Well obviously everyone can see the symbolism in this, but incase you haven't figured it out. It means that little light bulb in your head should be going on right now, telling you that what your saying defies logic, common sense, the whole shebang, but I see you could use some help so here.
(Commando takes the lightbulb and smashes it into the eye of Gemini, cutting up his face.)
GM:Good thing Gemini was knocked out cold by Commando, or that light bulb could have REALLY done some damage.
Commando: Now To Steve Radder, you feel it necessary to interject yourself into my match, why? You have surprises for the EWI, well whoopdee FREAKIN do, that don't mean a **** anymore, this ain't the MWC anymore, I should know that better then anybody, things have changed but I have the belt now, Gemini's stint as champ is nomore. You fell the need to rip off my entrance, by jumping from a chopper, you have to imulate me, and you get away with interfering in the match, because you never went to the actual ringside area, well I know and you know that's bull****, if the stipulation was followed the way it was perceived you along with a whole load of other people would have a nice little piece of pink paper, but no matter, everyone will get theirs in time, and I do mean EVERYONE, this is just the beginning, but here's what I told Gemini, to mess with me is stupid, everyone who has done it in the past has fallen, so maybe you need one of these to.
(Commando goes and picks up the other lightbulb and just jams it over the top of Steve Radders head cutting it up, causing Radder to bleed heavily from the top of the head.)
Commando: Oh that's not all, I've got a parting s*** for you.
(Commando picks up Radder and launches him into the trunbuckle, set him up on the top one, and Commando moves the table into position and then ascends the turnbuckle.)
BS: POWERBOMB through the table with tacks from the top rope, those tacks have to be heavily embedded in the back of Radder.
(Commando picks back up the mic)
Commando: Gemini, I'm not even gonna waste my time on you right now, you don't deserve it, maybe in due time you'll get a rematch, but I've shown clearly in the past two matches I am the better man, the first match of course ended in scandal and the better man lost, but the second, oh the second the BETTER man came out on top, and that's why I have the belt now, leading the EWI into the new millennium as WORLD champion!
BS: Well as Commando is finally getting out of the ring here comes EWI security and officials trying to help out Gemini and Radder. This has been nothing less than a total bloodfest!
GM: You know, from what I've seen, I really can't blame the guy. Radder has been sticking his nose into other people's business. It was only a matter of time this happened.
BS: But Gemini didn't deserve what Commando did to him.
GM: WHAT? DID YOU SEE WHAT GEMINI DID TO HIMSELF? I don't think what Commando did was harm enough compared what Gemini did to himself!
BS: Still the fact remains. A silence has come across this crowd as both Radder and Gemini are being helped out of the ring and back towards the backstage area. You have to wonder what level it's going to be taken to next if any of these three meet nextime.
GM: Hopefully a more painful one.
BS: We're going to cut to break, but when we return we've got the Main Event coming up NEXT!
BS: Welcome back folks. During the break Gemini and Radder both recieved medical attention and as it showed both were VERY upset about what happened in the ring.
GM: Well with a hostile situation like that I'm sure Dupree is hard at work trying to figure out how to solve it.
BS: I'm sure he is too.
GM: Or he is crammed under his desk scared as a little girl.
BS: And you worked for him and was never fired?
GM: Hey...I'm his BOY!
BS: Well up next is the Main Event and this one is for the Extreme Title.
GM: Oh yes. Tabu tries to pry the belt away from Mr. Main Event Rob Sampson. Let's get to it.
BS: And with that let's go to ringside for the match.
Tabu came to the ring first with Saul E. Dastardly in front and 187 following from behind. After they enter the ring Sampson, along with Jeffery Roberts, head towards the ring with the Extreme Belt on Sampson's shoulder. As they head towards ringside they share a couple of last minutes of notes on the outside of the ring, but as they continued to talk Tabu started running towards them and launched himself out of the ring and hit on both Inner Circle members with a senton splash.
BS: What a move! Tabu is taking control of this match quick!
GM: Well if anyone knows those two it's me and let me say this. The only way you are going to beat Sampson is if you beat Sampson AND Roberts!
BS: We've seen that here too you know.
GM: Hey just adding my two cents.
BS: Hey that's one more cent then what you're getting in your new contract right?
GM: Well I didn't wanna say.....HEY!!!
As all three were getting to their feet it was Tabu that was up first and he quickly grabbed Sampson and whipped him right into the steel stairs connecting with Sampson's shoulder. As Tabu continued with Sampson, Roberts was getting to his senses and realized what was going on. Roberts went for a chair and then snuck up behind Tabu while he was working over Sampson and cracked him right on the back of his head.
BS: DEAR GOD!
GM: What did I say? Take Roberts out of this match now and you might have a chance.
BS: Just because it's an Extreme match doesn't mean he has to do this!
GM: And you are.....who?
Roberts was about to deliver another shot, but as he was reaching back to strike again the chair was taken out of his hands by Tabu and Dastardly's bodyguard 187. When Roberts turned around to see what had happened he was met in the head with the chair from 187. Upon seeing what was going on the ref called over the ring announcer, Mark Bravo, and said a couple of words. After that Bravo reached for a microphone.
MB: By order of the referee...both Jeffery Roberts and 187 have been ORDERED to leave the ringside area!
BS: And it's finally happened!
GM: The refs around here finally grew a pair?
BS: NO! Roberts and 187 have been tossed from ringside.
GM: Same thing if you think about it.
Roberts and 187 continued to fight back up the rampway towards the backstage area as the match continued inside of the ring with Sampson and Tabu trading punches and chops. With Tabu taking control he tossed Sampson into the ropes and caught him with a spinning heel kick right to the chin. With Sampson down Tabu made his way to the outside and started looking around for some tables to set up. After searching he found some under the ring and started to pull them out. He tossed one into the ring and was about to go for another, but Dastardly told Tabu to get into the ring and continue to work on Sampson. As Tabu started to climb back inside, Dastardly started to set up the tables himself.
GM: Now that's a true manager. Taking care of his man while he's either on the inside or outside of the ring. You go Dastardly. Set those tables up for your man.
BS: All he's getting ready for is mass destruction.
GM: Hey it's all good baby!
BS: What Mike?
GM: What did you call me?
BS: Um...wha? Oh sorry. You said something familiar.
As Tabu made his way back inside he was met with several knive-edge chops from a revived Sampson. He then whipped Tabu into the ropes and hit with a devastating clothesline that made Tabu spin in the air before meeting the canvas. Sampson then picked up Tabu and connected with a double underhook backbreaker on the Bombay native. With Tabu down, Sampson went towards the table that was in the ring and set it up in one of the ring corners. He then went back towards Tabu and whipped him right into one of the tables causing it to shatter upon impact. With Tabu cringing Sampson measured his opponent before running towards him and connecting with a spear right into Tabu which went right through the already broken table.
BS: What a move by Sampson.
GM: He's proving tonight why he is the Extreme Champion of EWI.
BS: With no questions asked.
Meanwhile, on the outside, Dastardly was finished with setting up the first table when he was about to go look for the second one to stack upon it. As he was searching Sampson and Tabu were finally back up and Sampson sent Tabu into the ropes. On the way back Sampson back body dropped Tabu out of the ring and right onto the one table that was already in place on the outside. With Sampson seeing this he ran towards the opposite side of the ropes and hit an already prone Tabu with a senton splash on the ground below.
BS: DEAR LORD! Sampson taking his life into his own hands did a death defying move right there!
GM: Hey you gotta do what you gotta do to keep a belt around here. Sampson wants to make his point known tonight why he, and he alone, is truly Mr. Main Event!
As they were back inside Dastardly, cursing to himself and to the fans, went to another side of the ring and went to set up another table. On the inside Sampson was in full control of the match. As Sampson dropped Tabu with a bodyslam he went to the outside and climbed to the top turnbuckle, but as he was coming off with a frog splash Tabu moved out of the way and Sampson splashed only the canvas below.
BS: OH! And a fatal mistake by Sampson right there.
GM: Sometimes power moves like those come back to hurt you, and in Sampson's case right now....it hurts bad.
Tabu, now in control, then came off the ropes and landed with a well-executed legdrop right on the skull of Sampson. Tabu then went to toss Sampson into the ropes and on the way back went for a hurricanrana, but Sampson caught it and was about to counter with a powerbomb. Tabu, realizing this, wouldn't allow it so he tried to counter again and managed to hit with the hurricanrana, but the momentum launched Sampson out of the ring and right onto the table that Dastardly set up on the opposite side of the ring. Seeing his opponent hurt, Tabu raced to the top turnbuckle and dove right onto Sampson on the ground below.
BS: AIR TABU is in Barcelona tonight!
GM: Air Tabu? Hey isn't that like.....
BS: Don't say it. We can refer to it, but we just can't come out and say it.
GM: Sa...
BS: NO!
GM: Samo! From Martial Law! WHAT?
With both on the outside a frustrated Dastardly reached for two more tables and pushed them into the ring. As Tabu and Sampson were trying to get back to their feet, Dastardly set up both tables, one on top of another, right in the center of the ring and then rolled to the outside.
GM: Well I guess Dastardly got tired of setting those tables on the outside so now he's set'em both up on the inside. I guess he wants to see a clean finish?
BS: A clean finish in an Extreme match?
GM: Hey! It could happen!
Tabu was the first one in followed by Sampson and Tabu took full advantage of the situation by dragging Sampson to a corner and began to work him over with a series of punches. Seeing Sampson out of it Tabu hooked up Sampson and straddled him on the top turnbuckle and then made the climb himself.
BS: Tabu has Sampson on the top rope. Could he be going for the Top Rope Hurricanrana here?
GM: Well if he does you might as well call it a day cause I don't see Sampson getting out of this one.
After a couple of more punches Tabu went for a top rope hurricanrana, but Sampson somehow blocked it and lifted Tabu back up. Sampson, trying to keep control from a now fist firing Tabu, managed to get to his feet and executed a top rope powerbomb right thought the two tables that were in the center of the ring thus ending the match and awarding the belt back to Sampson.
BS: He's done it! Sampson has retained the Extreme Belt in classic fashion here folks!
GM: I never knew Sampson had it in him. I might've been wrong about Mr. Main Event.....oh no....what's he doing here.
[Suddenly 'Good God' Kevin Powers, along with 'Risqué' Roseanne Fairhurst, starts walking down to ringside with Steel Plated Baseball Bat in hand. As Tabu is behing helped out of the ring by Dastardly, Powers slips into the ring and stands behind Sampson waiting for him to regain his wits. As Sampson finally turns around he is cracked right in the stomach with the baseball bat and then hit with the head of it into his sides repeatly.]
BS: What the? This is uncalled for!
GM: Are you kidding? This is GREAT! This is some Old School NthWA action right here. Kick back and watch this son. And go get me some popcorn.
BS: Have you lost your mind?
GM: Quite. You're missing the best part.
[As Powers is working over Sampson, Fairhurst slides in a table and begins to set it up. Powers then drops the bat and places Sampson into the Kiss the Canvas move. Picking him up in a powerbomb move he drops Sampson across the ropes and then picks him back up. He then takes his momentum, turns around, and crashes him across the table that Fairhurst set up.]
BS: MY GOD! Powers is going to break Sampson in half!
GM: (eating popcorn) Oh yeah. Sampson's done. Go get me a Pepsi.
BS: Get it your own damn self. Powers is calling for a mic.
KP: Now who remembers back when I said that since Zieba was out of town I was gonna do what I wanted to do. Well (looks down at Sampson) I just proved that statement TRUE! Sampson, when you decide to get your lazy ass back up, you might as well get the Extreme belt ready for the PPV cause....oh how did you put it....I CHOOSE YOU! So get ready BITCH cause The Emperor of Hardcore is gonna show Mr. Mid Card what Extreme is ALL ABOUT!
[Powers and Fairhurst then exit the ring as EWI officials hit the ring and try to help Rob Sampson.]
GM: Powers....called out Sampson? Oh this should be good!
BS: Powers is stepping out of his boundarys set by Zieba and I'm SURE that Zieba will catch wind of this soon, but that's for another time. What.....you're kidding? I've just been informed that we have to go to a break?
GM: I thought the show was over?
BS: Folks we'll be right back!
[Cue up "Creepy Green Light" by Type O Negative as Pat Black makes his way to the ring alone. He is wearing a black T-shirt with green lettering. The front says F.R.O.G. Squad. The back says "Jump me. Pay me". As he enters the ring a solitary green spotlight shines on him. He slumps into the corner and turns on the house mic.]
Black: First off Gemini let me commend you for the most original defensive weapon I've ever seen in an I quit match. The pain of the sewing alone must have been almost....................orgasmic in intensity. To feel a steel needle pierce both sets of lips dragging the silk thread through the wounds. I am jealous. You might say I'm green with envy. And speaking of things that are green. You have something of mine Gemini. Something that I want back. Something that means more to me than life or death itself. The only thing that brings me solace in a world of chaos. The only thing that brings fond memories of a childhood I never had. With all the dopplegangers that I had left you I thought you would have no need for mine. But you took it upon yourself to rip my most prized possession out of the depths of my cold black heart. It is with that that I request....no, DEMAND the right to claim what is mine back from you Gemini. So come down here and answer my challenge Gemini. And if you can't speak I'll gladly rip those sutures out for you. One strand at a time.
[Cue up Marilyn Manson: Beautiful People]
[Gemini strides out from the backstage area to a huge pop. He's dressed in jeans and another pikachoo T-shirt, another pirated shirt as this one has pikachoo holding up Barney's severed head. The caption on the shirt is "Cute my @$$!" Gemini looks a little rough. His lips are swollen from the stitches, and he's got the beginnings of a shiner from the chair shot along with several bandages on his face from the Commando attack. He's also holding Kermit and a lit blowtorch.]
G: Black, if you even blink at us, the frog gets it. (Holds up the blowtorch.) That's right, you just shut-up and listen. You want your precious toy Black? Give us one good reason why we shouldn't leave you with a pile of charred felt? You can't, can you? Of course not you brain damaged piece of filth. Black, you don't have to threaten us for a match. All you have to do is ask. It'll be our pleasure to beat you into little pieces again. And since we seem to be the king of bizarre matches, why not a Kermit on a pole match? Winner gets to keep Kermit. We'll keep him until the match though, just to make sure you're on your best behavior. (Smirking) One stipulation though Black, if you lose, and you will, you have to burn Kermit. Right there, right then.
PB: (Drags himself to his feet, and drapes himself over the top rope) That's a pretty stiff stipulation. But I, and I mean *I* can come up with a better one.
G: Whatever.
PB: If I win, not only does Kermit come back to daddy, but you and only *you*, have to be my tag-team partner.
[Gemini stares at Black in a look that can only be described as confused.]
G: What? Why?
PB: Lets just say that a pair of minds this twisted belong together. Wouldn't you agree? I thought so. See you at heatwave Gemini. Or should I say, Partner?
G: No way? *NO WAY* Not one FREAKING CHANCE WILL WE EVEN...
[CUE UP: "Open Your Eyes" by the Guano Apes]
CD: You know, I'm really tired of the way you two never seem to get along. It's very tiring However, if anyone is going to put a stipulation on the match, it's going to be me. Having Kermit on a pole just doesn't cut it with me, so here's what I have in mind. We'll suspend Kermit from the ceiling and you two can duke it out in a ladder match!
(Crowd pops huge.)
G: WHAT?
CD: You heard me. Next Heatwave. You two will wrestle a ladder match with the winner getting Kermit.
(Gemini and Black look at eachother, then up towards the sky, back at eachother again, and shrug their shoulders.)
CD: While I'm out here, I have another match to announce for Heatwave in France. This one should really make me popular around here. Considering what I saw earlier tonight I have no choice but to issue this match and it's one that Commando is not going to enjoy!!
(Crowd pops huge.)
CD: Since Commando, Gemini, and Radder cannot play nice with eachother I'm gonna turn up the heat instead. So, at Heatwave in Bordeaux, Commando will place the EWI World Title on the line and his first title defense will be none other than 'Iceman' Steve Radder.
(Another huge crowd pop.)
CD: Oh but here's the twist. A meeting with those two....I don't think none of the refs around here have what it takes to control that match. So I'm going to appoint a ref I know that will hold law and order with those two in the ring. And the ref for that match is none other than......GEMINI!
(Crowd pops huge....again.)
CD: Oh and one more thing.....have a nice day!
[Dupree music plays again as he heads out of the ring and back towards the backstage area.]
BS: What an announcement! Black and Gemini in a ladder match for the Kermit doll along with Radder going for the World title with Gemini as the ref!
GM: France is going to become a battle ground once again!
BS: Folks we're running out of time. For Garret MacFarland, Victoria McCave, and the entire EWI crew this is Brett Sanders wishing you good night from Barcelona!
[As the credits begin to roll on the bottom part of the screen, the top part switches to a local London hospital where Mike Powers is watching the show in his room still recovering from the recent attack from Ash. ]
MP: My boys are back! Simply Stunning is back! Oh groovy baby I have to get out of here!
[As Powers is in celebration one of the nurses brings in a vase with flowers.]
Nurse: Oh Mr. Powers this just came for you.
MP: Oh behave. You gave me flowers? How about a shag in return.
N: Even if I said yes, which I won't, you are in no condition to do any extra activites like that.
MP: Oh you are a wild bird aren't you YEAH BABY! Did the flowers come with a card?
N: Let me see.....yes. Here it is.
[The nurse hands Powers the card and after reading it he starts screaming in horror. As the nurse tries to calm down Powers the camera zooms in on what the card says......Get Well Soon....Ash....]
