BS: Alright, we're back now, and as you can see, we're using a makeshift announce table. But Garrett, let me ask you this: what is this "deal" that Erik Zieba says has gone through?
GM: I don't have a clue, but I'm VERY intrigued.
BS: As am I. It's certainly been a wild night here at Black Ice and we've got still got 4 great matches to go! Speaking of which, let's go up to the ring for a match that was scheduled to go earlier, but due to flight problems was not able to. Wicked Sight takes on Bobby Jackson.
Wicked Sight vs.
Bobby Jackson
6'1", 245 lbs. | 6'7", 285 lbs.
Spokane, WA | Syracuse, NY
"Just Got Wicked" - Cold | "American
Badass" - Kid Rock
BS: Wicked Sight is giving up a huge size advantage in this
match, but listening to his comments he's really focused for this
match.
GM: Both are new competitors here in the SSN, It's great that Marcus is bringing in some talent to counter some of these morons around here.
Wicked Sight charges the larger Bobby Jackson and catches his right knee with a drop kick, Bbbby Jackson slumps down to one knee and Wicked Sight hits a drop kick right in Bobby's face. Bobby Jackson grabs his jaw as he lays on the mat in obvious pain. The ref goes to check on him but Bobby Jackson pushes him away. Bobby Jackson gets to a knee and Wicked Sight applies a side headlock,but Bobby just stands up and drives the Wicked Sight to the mat with a belly to back suplex. Bobby Jackson rubs his hand against his nose and checks for blood and then pulls up Wicked Sight and shoots him into the far ropes and catches Wicked Sight with a stiff clothesline. Wicked Sight falls to the mat with a thud. Bobby Jackson leaps in the air and drives an elbow into Wicked Sight's chest. Bobby goes for the cover, One...Two..Kick out.
GM: Hey, I think Robert was a little premature there, I wonder if he has that problem in the bedroom.
BS: Enough of that Garrett. Both men have been showing why they were brought into the EWI.
Bobby Jackson pulls up Wicked Insight and whips him into the far ropes and catches him with a kick to the stomach. DDT by Bobby Jackson and Bobby pulls up Wicked Insight and picks him up for a Powerbomb, but Wicked Sight wiggles out of the move and surprises Bobby Jackson with a reverse DDT. Wicked Sight pulls himself up and drops a knee into the chest of Bobby Jackson. Wicked Sight goes to the top and comes off with a with a flying headbutt, but Bobby Jackson rolls out of the way and Wicked Sight lands face first on the mat. Bobby Jackson gets to his feet and pulls Wicked Sight up and hits a vertical suplex. Bobby Jackson pulls up Wicked Sight and goes for a overhead press, but Wicked Sight slides out of is, Bobby Jackson turns around and Wicked Sight hits a Samoan Bulldog.
BS: There's the Acid Drop!
Wicked Sight with the cover. One...Two...Three.
WINNER: Wicked Sight
BS: Wicked Sight picks up a nice win over Bobby Jackson, so I'm sure he gets to go home happy.
GM: Wicked Sight's a good prospect. I wouldn't be surprised to see him getting bigger matches in the near future.
BS: Agreed. But up next, we have one of those so-called "bigger" matches as Inner Circle teammates Dan Ryan and Ash face off to determine a new Federation champion.
GM: But there's a twist on this one, and that twist is that the philosophical leader of the Inner Circle, Rob Sampson, is the special guest referee.
BS: It's going to be a great match, but only one man can leave as the Federation champion. Let's go to the ring.
FEDERATION TITLE MATCH
Ash vs. "The
Ego Buster" Dan Ryan
6'10", 307 lbs. | 6'7", 355 lbs.
Detroit, MI | Houston, TX
"Break Stuff" - Limp Bizkit |
"Zero" - Smashing Pumpkins
Rob Sampson, wearing a referee's shirt over his normal wrestling attire, is introduced to the crowd first. The ring announcer then informs the crowd that the match is for the vacant Federation championship and holds the belt up for all to see before handing it to Sampson.
Out next is Ash, who receives a loud pop from the crowd but does not play up to them, instead only rolling into the ring and standing in his corner.
"Ego Buster" Dan Ryan is introduced next, and he receives a loud pop as well, but also keeps his expression stoic. He rolls into the ring and eyes Ash warily.
Sampson shows each man the title belt they'll be wrestling for and then hands it to the timekeeper. Sampson signals for the bell to begin the match.
BS: Alright, Gary Mac, we're set to go with this match to determine who the new Federation champion will be. One has to wonder if Marcus Gottfried isn't hoping that by putting all three of these men in the positions they're in, he'll break up the Inner Circle.
GM: Wouldn't that be great? Well, I think it would be anyway.
Ryan and Ash start the match with a feeling-out process, each testing the other's strength. Suddenly Ash breaks out of the knucklelock and runs to the ropes. He comes back with a shoulderblock on Ryan, who shrugs it off.
BS: We've got a bit of a stalemate here.
GM: Why can't they just both a chair and brain each other to death?
BS: Jeez, Garrett.
The two men tie up, and Ryan uses his weight advantage to back Ash into a neutral corner. He unleashes a series of pounding forearms and then whips him across the ring. Ash comes back out of the corner with a clothesline though, and Ryan is staggered. Ash follows up with an arm breaker and then uses his fist to pound on Ryan's arm and shoulder.
BS: Ash is working over the arm here, and given how Ryan relies on power to win his matches, that's smart.
Ash executes a spinning wristlock and then takes Ryan down to the mat with a back heel trip. He then drives his knee down onto Ryan's arm before applying a crucifix armbar. Sampson checks in with Ryan for the submission.
BS: This is a side of Ash we've been seeing a lot lately. He may be the King of Hardcore here in EWI, but he's become quite the technical wrestler to supplement it.
GM: And that's gonna give him an edge over Ryan, who's all about using his weight and power to win matches.
Ryan continues to fight the armbar and makes it the ropes, forcing a break. Ash procures another wristlock but Ryan uses it to pull Ash into him and clotheslines him down to the mat. He quickly drops an elbow down onto Ash's sternum and then goes for a pin. Sampson counts: one, two...Ash kicks out.
BS: It looks like "Ego Buster" may have been playing a little possum there, because he's taken control of the match now.
Ryan pulls his teammate to his feet and clubs him with a series of hard rights and lefts to the head and neck. He then sends Ash crashing to the canvas with a thunderous belly-to-belly suplex. He covers, and Sampson delivers another two-count before Ash kicks out. Ryan whips Ash to the ropes and goes for a clothesline, but Ash is able to duck under it and come back with a DDT.
BS: DDT by Ash!! Ego Buster's head bounced off the mat!!
GM: That was a brutal DDT.
Ash opts not to cover and instead pulls Ryan to his feet and drops him with a face buster. He then points to the nearby turnbuckle and the crowd pops as he climbs up. Just as Ryan gets to his feet, Ash leaps off and connects with a double axhandle right between the eyes. Ryan is staggered, but doesn't go down, so Ash heads up top again. He leaps off, but at the last moment, Ryan catches him and forcefully powerslams him to the canvas.
BS: Good God!! What a powerslam!!
GM: I'm surprised Ash didn't go THROUGH the mat!!
After a few seconds, Ryan drags Ash to a nearby corner. The crowd then watches in awe as he scales the ropes and delivers a split-legged moonsault. Sampson counts: one, two...Ash gets a shoulder up.
BS: Can you believe he got a shoulder up?! I thought for sure that was the end!
GM: These guys know each other really well and they both want it so bad they can taste it! Neither man is pulling his punches so to speak.
Ryan questions Sampson about the count, but Sampson explains that Ash got a shoulder up. Ryan shrugs but the lapse in concentration gives Ash a chance to get to his knees and a throw a punch to his solar plexus. Ash stands up, takes a step back and then delivers a jaw-wrenching side kick. He then stomps away on the arm he worked over earlier before applying another crucifix armbar. Sampson checks in for the submission.
BS: I don't know if we'll get a submission here, but Ryan's arm has to be bothering him after all the punishment it's taken from Ash.
Ryan gets to the ropes, but instead of breaking the hold, Ash stands up and drags Ryan back to the center of the ring. He re-applies the hold and Ryan pounds the mat in frustration. Sampson asks if he wants to submit but Ryan refuses. Ash finally releases the hold and pulls Ryan up to whip him to the ropes. He follows after him and the two collide and end up going over the top rope.
BS: Oh my God!! Ash and Ryan both went over the top rope and they're down and out!!
Ryan comes around first and sees Ash lying on the floor. He looks around a spies a chair near the announce table. He picks it up and folds it flat. He then eyes Ash for several moments and brings the chair up over his head as if to strike.
BS: No, Dan, don't do it!! He's your teammate for God's sake!!
GM: Ah, hell, hit him anyway, Ego Buster!!
Sampson steps out onto the ring apron and as Ryan goes to nail Ash with the chair, Sampson leaps off the apron and grabs the chair away from him. Ryan glares at Sampson, but Sampson stays his ground and Ryan simply opts to grab Ash and roll him into the ring. Ash gets to his knees, but Ryan grabs him by the throat before he can stand up and unleashes a chokeslam. Ryan then covers, hooking the far leg. Sampson counts: one, two, thr...Ash gets a foot on the ropes.
GM: I don't think Ryan got all of that chokeslam because of Ash weakening his arm.
BS: I think you're right, Garrett. A chokeslam from Ego Buster is usually enough to put anyone away.
Ryan goes to the ropes for momentum and connects with a big splash. He covers and gets another two-count before Ash gets a shoulder up. Frustration begins to set in and he tries for another splash, but Ash is able to roll out of harm's way and Ryan splats on the canvas with a thud. Ash takes a moment to regain his composure and then pulls himself up using the ropes. He drags Ryan to his feet and then executes a go-behind, following up with a back suplex that rocks the ring.
BS: Holy cow!! What a back suplex!!
GM: Ego Buster missing that splash may be what Ash needs to put him away!!
Ash whips Ryan to the ropes and boots him in the midsection on the rebound. He then tries for a belly-to-belly suplex but is unable to get Ryan up and over so he instead takes him to a nearby turnbuckle and rams his head into it. He follows up with a pair of clothesline and then the crowd begins to buzz as Ash signals for a standing side kick.
BS: Ash is calling for the side kick. He uses that to set up the Flash Fire or the Burning Sensation. I don't know which one he'll opt to use here.
GM: It won't matter if he nails one of them.
Ryan stands up and turns around just in time to take the side kick right to the side of the head. Ash immediately pulls the disoriented Ryan up, goes to the ropes, grabs Ryan's head in a 3/4 nelson and goes for a modified Flash Fire, but Ryan suddenly halts his own momentum, grabs Ash in a waistlock and takes him up over and with a release German suplex.
BS: I don't believe it!!! Ryan countered the Flash Fire with a release German suplex!!!
GM: He must have had that move scouted out very well!!
Ryan wastes no time in going after Ash and pulling him into a standing head scissors. The crowd lets out an collective "Aaaahhhh" as Ryan executes the Humility Bomb on Ash and goes for the cover. Sampson counts: one, two, thr...Ash gets a shoulder up.
BS: Ash got a shoulder up!! I don't believe it!!
Ryan doesn't argue the count, instead choosing to pull Ash up into another standing head scissors quickly and hitting a second Humility Bomb. He covers Ash,hooking both legs. Sampson counts: One, two, three.
WINNER: "Ego Buster" Dan Ryan (new Federation champion)
BS: Ryan's done it!! He's captured his first EWI championship!!
GM: I don't like either man all that much, but they put on one hell of a match!! But Ryan came out on top and I have to give him props for that.
(Ryan mounts the turnbuckle and holds the Federation title up for all to see while Ash slowly makes his way to his feet. Ryan steps down and approaches Ash, and after a moment Ash gives him a smirk and puts out his hand and they slap hands and Ash holds Ryan's arm in the air and points to the new champion. Sampson looks on and comes over and raises Ryan's hand in victory while Ryan's gaze into the crowd suddenly becomes an icy glare that focuses on.....Rob Sampson.....and with all his strength turns and practically clotheslines him out of his shoes. Ash looks on with raised eyebrows, and when Ryan looks his way flashes the slightest hint of a smile. Sampson reels in shock while Ryan motions for a microphone. Ryan turns to face Sampson who momentarily looks ready to come to his feet in anger, but Ash steps up and stands next to Ryan....keeping Sampson in place.)
Ryan: Hey Ash! Look at what we have here! Rob Sampson flat on his back cowering like a dog. And you....(Ryan looks into the crowd)...all of you idiots out there can pick your jaw up off the ground and just shut up, because I have some things to say. Rob, you called one hell of a match tonight bro. One hell of a fine match. The Inner Circle holds the gold, which was inevitable....but the most important factor for this match tonight is that I get the pleasure of seeing the look on your face right now. You, who ran the roads with us while backstage making yourself out to be the backstabbing son of a bitch that I now know you are. Now I'm gonna do you a favor and not give your game away completely, but know this. No one puts one over on Ash....or Dan Ryan....and you can rest assured that your little surprise for us tonight has been...busted. So I'm serving you up some notice right now. You do what you wanna do tonight, because I don't give a damn about those plans of yours later. But for right now, I'm gonna show you exactly what Ash and I think of lowlife scum like you trying to put one over on us.
(Ryan pulls back and spits a huge ball of phlegm from his mouth that lands square on Sampson's cheek and causes him to recoil in shock and anger as Ryan and Ash leave the ring and head up the aisle looking back at Sampson.)
BS: What the hell was that all about?
GM: I dunno...but I like it!
BS: What is Ryan talking about? What kind of plans could Rob Sampson possibly have?
GM: Knowing him? Anything.
BS: So strange. Well, at any rate, we're ready for our World Tag Team title match as the champions, Mechanical Animals, defend against former champions, Tribal Instinct, and against Insane Pain as well.
GM: It's been a horrible night for the SSN A-Team, but I have faith that Tribal Instinct can regain the titles and start restoring SSN's dignity.
BS: You are SUCH a corporarte kiss-ass, I swear. Let's go to the ring.

Tommy Payne pulls up Angelus up on his shoulder and drops him with a hard slam and tags in Justin Sane. Justin pulls up Angelus, but Angelus fires back with rights and lefts to Justin's stomach. Angelus catches Justin with a drop kick in the knee and tags in Brandon Williams. Brandon Williams pushes Angelus out of the way and drives a knee into the thigh of Justin Sane. Brandon reaches over and tags in his brother. Brandon holds down Justin's leg and Trypp comes off the top rope with a knee drop to Justin's thigh.
BS: Looks like Tribal Instinct is working on that thigh of Justin, They're trying to knot it up.
GM: Brains. You need brains to be in the SSN.
Trypp kicks at Justin's thigh and reaches up and tags in Brandon, The Tribe make a wish and pull Justin's legs apart. Brandon goes for the pin. One..Two..Kickout. Justin slowly gets up to his feet and stumbles over toward the Mechanical Animals Corner and Brandon crops down the giant with a shoulder into the knee, but Justin falls and Ruiner tags himself in. Ruiner catches Brandon with a springboard clothesline. Ruiner chops at Brandon's chest as he stands up, Runier shoots Brandon into the far ropes and goes for a clothesline, but Brandon ducks and comes off the ropes with a back elbow. Both men are on the mat. Brandon rolls toward the Mechanical Animal corner and Ruiner rolls toward Insane Pain's corner. Brandon gets up and tags in Angelus. Angelus steps in the ring and waits for Ruiner to tag in Tommy Payne.
BS: We're back where we started this one.
GM: Ugh. Why?
Tommy Payne tries to use his size as momentum, but Angelus drops Tommy Payne with a drop toe hold. Angelus reaches up and applies a reverse chinlock on Tommy Payne. Tommy Payne tries to reach the ropes, but it's out of his reach. Justin Sane enters the ring and kicks Angelus in the back, breaking the hold. This brings in Brandon and Trypp and finally Ruiner. All six men are in the ring. Ruiner throws Brandon threw the ropes and flies over with a suicide dive, both men are on the ground. Trypp reverses a irish whip and throws Justin Sane into the referee.

WINNERS: The Mechanical Animals
BS: Uh oh! I don't think Tribal Instinct are happy! Brandon and Trypp have chairs and they're going after the St. Louis Calab-O!!
{The Calab-O hurries away from ringside with Tribal Instinct chasing after them.}
BS: What a match.
GM: Um, guess who's here?
{The Motor City Maniacs charge the ring. Angelus is checking on Ruiner and hasn't realized who's on their way to the ring. Once in the ring, Max Mayhem spins Angelus around and sends him flying to the mat with a T-Bone Suplex. Ripper Robertson picks up Ruiner and raises him in a Powerbomb, Max Mayhem catches him at the height of the Powebomb and hits a reverse neckbreaker. Driving Ruiner into the mat. Suddenly Hellfighter and Exe rush to the ring with chairs. The Maniacs slide out of the ring and head to the back.}
BS: Good lord! It just never stops around here!
GM: We like it like that. Don't we?
BS: I wonder sometimes. Well, folks, it's now time for the moment you've all been waiting for. SSN representative and current SSN/EWI Extreme World champion, "Hurricane" Eddy Love, will defend against the man who survived the King of the Cage tournament to get to this very moment.
GM: A lot is at stake in this match. For the Super Sports Network and Marcus Gottfried, this is it for them. If Eddy Love loses this match, control of the EWI reverts back to Erik Zieba, but if Eddy Love is successful--as I believe he will be--Erik Zieba has no chance of getting the EWI back.
BS: It's going to be a wild one. Let's go to the ring.
MAIN EVENT - EXTREME WORLD TITLE
"Hurricane" Eddy
Love vs. Gemini
6'5", 295 lbs. | 6'2", 245 lbs.
Clemson, NC | The Abyss
""Trampled Under Foot (Can't Stop Talkin' About
Love)" - Led Zeppelin | "Beautiful
People" - Marilyn Manson
Before the introductions are made, Clawfinger's "Biggest and the Best" blasts out of the arena sound system as Rob Sampson walks out from backstage and sits down at the announce table.
BS: Well, we're being joined here by "Mr. Main Event" Rob Sampson, and I must say this is a surprise.
GM: What are you out here for, Sampson? To make sure Gemini wins?
RS: Just a little friendly commentary, boys. Nothing to worry about here.
GM: Yeah, right. Wanna tell us why your buddies turned on you earlier?
RS: I...honestly don't know.
GM: Uh huh. Right.
Gemini is introduced next, walking out to the ring with a focused look on his face. He climbs into the ring and glares at Sampson for a few moments but turns his attention to the entrance when Led Zeppelin's "Trampled Under Foot (Can't Stop Talkin' About Love)" begins to play. Eddy Love walks out with the Extreme World title belt strapped around his waist.
BS: And here is the Extreme World champion, Eddy Love. He looks ready to go.
GM: Eddy Love always rises to the occasion. In fact, wasn't it Eddy Love who defeated you for the Federation title, Sampson?
RS: Yes...yes, it was. Thanks for bringing that up, Garrett.
GM: Haha. My pleasure.
Love walks over to the announce table and stops in front of Sampson. He grabs a spare headset and puts it on.
EL: What are you doing here, Sampson? Haven't you had enough? I'm telling you...no...I'm WARNING you...stay out of my business tonight!
RS: You don't have to worry about me, Love. The man you have to worry about is standing right there in the ring.
Love throws his headset down and leaves the title belt on the announce table. He climbs into the ring and the bell is rung shortly after.
BS: Alright, this is it. We're ready to go.
GM: Hey, Sampson, take a good look at the title. This is as close as you'll ever get to it.
Love and Gemini tie up, with Love quickly gaining an advantage and backing Gemini up against the ropes. He whips Gemini to the other side but misses a clothesline, allowing Gemini to come back with a shoulder block, but neither man goes down. Love quickly boots his opponent in the midsection and slams him down to the mat. Gemini is back to his feet quickly and the two men begin trading left hands at a furious pace.
BS: It's broken down early! Both men are resorting to fists already!
Love suddenly blocks a punch from Gemini and hooks him for a vertical suplex. Gemini reverses however and Love slides out of the ring to take a breather.
RS: Look at this. One little suplex and he's rolling out of the ring for a break? Some champion.
GM: He beat you, Sampson.
Love rolls back into the ring, but finds Gemini waiting for him. Gemini dropkicks Love's right knee and Love falls to the mat. Gemini grabs the champion's leg and drives the knee down to the canvas hard. The challenger tries to lock on the Torquemada, but Love kicks him away and helps himself up with the ropes. He lures Gemini into the corner and pokes him in the eye, following up by slamming his head into the turnbuckle.
BS: Never let it be said that the champion isn't crafty, and that's something Gemini will have to counter.
RS: Gemini's not above using whatever he has to in order to win.
With Gemini in the corner, Love assaults with him a series of stinging chops, alternating between them and boots to the stomach. Finally Love suplexes the challenger out of the corner and covers. The referee counts: one, two...Gemini kicks out. Love pulls Gemini up and whips him to the ropes. Gemini ducks a clothesline and gets Love in position for a reverse DDT but Love turns in toward Gemini's body, so the challenger simply drops him with a DDT.
BS: DDT by Gemini! Love could be in trouble now.
RS: It's up to Gemini to maintain the tempo in this match. If he lets Love regain control, Love can come back and win the title at any time.
Gemini stomps away at Love's right knee and then positions it on the bottom rope, bringing the weight of his body crashing down on it. Love grabs his knee and rolls to the middle of the ring, but Gemini stays right with him. He begins to apply a figure four, but Love reverses with an inside cradle. The referee counts: one, two...Gemini kicks out.
GM: The sign of a true champion! Eddy Love's knee is hurt but he's still doing whatever he can to retain the SSN's position!
Gemini stands back up and kicks the champion squarely in the face, stunning him. He then locks on the figure four and the crowd comes to their feet, anticipating Love giving up.
BS: Can Eddy Love hold on and make it to the ropes?! Gemini is a master at working over his opponent's knees, but he usually relies on the Torquemada to finish an opponent off.
GM: Get to the ropes, Eddy! C'mon!
Love struggles to make the ropes and finally does so. Gemini releases the hold and begins to pull Love up by his hair when Love suddenly lashes out and strikes the challenger in the groin. Gemini doubles over and Love grabs his tights to throw him out of the ring.
RS: Well, Love's trying to buy himself some time here. I can't say I blame him, knowing how Gemini can be.
GM: Why don't you just admit that Love is the better man?!
Gemini, looking annoyed, climbs back into the ring as Love pulls himself up with the ropes. Love tries to lure Gemini in close again, but the challenger insists on Love coming to him in the middle of the ring. Love shakes the ropes in frustration and then hobbles out toward Gemini. They go to lock up, but Love feints to the side and drives a knee into Gemini's midsection. He gingerly follows up with a swinging neckbreaker and covers Gemini. The referee counts: one, two...Gemini gets the shoulder up.
RS: See, this is what I meant. Gemini let his guard down for a second and Love regained the momentum of the match. Injured knee or not, he's dangerous in this position.
BS: Well, Rob, if anyone knows Eddy Love's modus operandi, it's you. You two have had some great matches in the past.
Love executes a gutwrench suplex, keeping Gemini down on the mat. The champion then procures a reverse chinlock and lays down on the mat with it. The referee checks in with Gemini for a submission.
BS: This is smart wrestling by the Extreme World champion. He's resting his knee while still draining Gemini's strength.
Love drags himself and Gemini to the ropes and places his feet on the bottom rope for leverage. The crowd goes wild, trying to draw the referee's attention to it, but he's busy checking for a submission from Gemini. The referee sits up for a moment and Love quickly jerks his feet off the ropes, The referee questions him, but Love denies using the ropes. Love stands up, bringing Gemini with him. He kicks the challenger in the midsection and then slowly goes to the ropes for momentum. He catches Gemini from behind with a bulldog, but the look on his face betrays the fact that he didn't get all of it that he intended.
BS: The champion's injured knee is keeping him from getting the full effect from his moves.
Love covers, but Gemini is able to get a shoulder up at one. Love pounds the mat in frustration and shoves the referee. The referee shoves him back and Love lands on his rear. He pulls himself up and rages at the referee, but turns his attention back to Gemini. Love grabs the challenger and pulls up but Gemini blocks a right hand and fires off one of his own. He then rams Love's head into turnbuckle and rolls out of the ring long enough to grab a chair.
RS: Gemini's got a chair! I told you he's not above doing something like this!
Gemini rolls into the ring and prepares to strike. He swings the chair, but Love ducks out of the way and the chair hits the ropes and bounces back into his own face. With Gemini stunned, Love quickly grabs the chair and waffles Gemini with it. Both men go down and the cameras pan in to show that Gemini's face is now covered in blood.
BS: Good lord! Gemini is bleeding!
GM: The crimson mask! Ahahaha!
Love gets to his feet and starts gloating about Gemini's bloodied appearance. Slowly, Gemini start to come around.
BS: Gemini's stirring! Gemini is on his feet!
GM: No! How?!
BS: I can't believe that Gemini is still standing after the punishment Eddy Love has handed out!
GM: Lay back down you psycho! You're done!
Gemini slowly pulls himself up in the corner, blood dripping down his face and across his tights. He pulls himself up and glares at Eddy Love as he preens across the ring. Eddy turns and is stunned to see that Gemini is standing yet again. He rushes across the ring and smacks an elbow into Gemini's face, Gemini reels back but doesn't go down. Eddy mercilessly hammers on Gemini with vicious rights. Gemini absorbs each vicious hit and remains standing.
RS: Wow. Gemini just refuses to go down.
GM: Oh shut up, Sampson!
Eddy whips Gemini out of the corner and across the ring and into the opposing turnbuckle. Gemini impacts hard and staggers back, directly inot a dragon suplex from Eddy Love. The referee drops swiftly into position, but Gemini's strange body structure prevents Eddy from getting all the leverage he should and Gemini squirms out of the pin at two. Frustrated, Eddy berates the ref, who stands firm, shaking two fingers in Eddy's face. Predictably, Eddy slaps them away.
GM: What an incompetent! Can't the SSN at least get some professional referees?
BS: That's Gary Chalice Garrett! He's been a referee for fourteen years!
GM: And an alcoholic for twenty apparently!
Eddy grabs the woozy Gemini and whips him into the ropes again. Gemini sails off the ropes and ends up receiving a vicious spinebuster from Eddy Love. Eddy hooks the leg and rolls up Gemini for the count. The ref drops and counts two, but once again Gemini yanks his shoulder off the canvas in time. Eddy slaps the canvas in frustration, then a grim smil crosses his face. He yanks Gemini into position again and powers him up into a hanging falcon arrow. After a few long seconds, Gemini bounces hard off the matt. Eddy doesn't bother covering, preferring to drop an ugly knee across Gemini's forehead.
GM: The referee should stop this. Eddy had this won a long time ago.
BS: I've seen Gemini come out of a lot worse than this.
Eddy takes a moment to preen for the crowd, he flips his hair back and stands over the fallen Gemini. Eddy rears his head back and poses, emitting a loud 'WHOOOOOOO'. Abruptly, Gemini smashes a fist upwards into Eddy Loves privates. And what was previously a scream of triumph becomes a high pitched shriek of agony.
GM: DQ! DQ! Do your job ref!
Eddy collapses in a heap, clutching at his privates, Gemini crawls awahy from Eddy to the ring ropes. Slowly he drags himself back to his feet hanging painfully across the ring ropes. Eddy slowly drags himself back to his feet as well, he spies Gemini trying to recover and rushes him. Working on blind instinct, Gemini suddenly drops a shoulder and back body drops Eddy love over the ring rope. Eddy lands with a howl and a thud, then rolls over clutching at his back!
GM: No! Eddy! Stop the match ref! he's hurt! Call the paramedics down here. We'll have to call the match a draw!
BS: You are the very image of a bootlicking lackey, you know that?
Gemini takes a second to recover, then gets that strange disturbing and familiar smile on his face. HE turns and rolls under the ropes. Eddy love tries to crawl away from Gemini, Gemini just grins and vicuiously kicks Eddy Love in the back of his leg. Eddy rolls over yowling and clutching at his leg. Gemini starts to deal out a vicous array of kicks and stomps to Eddy Love, mainly centering on eddy's leg. Finally, the ref slides out of the ring and intercedes. Gemini rolls back in the ring, long enough to break the count, then rolls out again, going right back to work on Eddy's leg.
BS: Uh-oh! We've got company again!
GM: Yes! The cavalry has arrived!
The SSN A-Team starts to pour out from the back area. Cole Steele, Sky Suicide, Chris Lehew, Tribal Instinct, Kin Hiroshi and 187 head down to the ring en masse. Suddenly, a jacketed arean salesman leans over the railing and throws his tray of drinks across the aisle. The SSN wreslters hit the black liquid and sudenly lose their footing, comically flailing around as they try and fail to maintain their balance. The same arena salesmen bends down and pulls up a large pillow that he dumps over the pile of SSN wrestlers. Feathers fly like a snowstorm and the camera gets a clear shot of the salesman. A small graphic appears under the face of the slim older man.
The graphic reads ... Lietenant Templeton 'Face' Peck
GM: What the hell is this! Security! Security!
BS: That's... no! It can't be!
Gemini grabs Eddy Love and throws him back into the ring. He grabs the top rope and vaults over it, delivering a vicious legdrop across the throat of the EWI champion. He goes to cover, but suddenly a large, oily, feather covered hand reaches into the ring and yanks the referee out of the ring. the camera pans left and shows 187, covered in oil and feathers winding up to knock the referee unconcious. Abruptly, a large 2x4 smacks 187 across the back of the head. 187 eyes glass over and he drops in a feathery heap. A short but muscualr black man hauls the referee back up and throws him back into the ring. He turns to face the camera and yet another small graphic appears.
The graphic reads... Sgt Bosco 'B.A.' Barracus.
GM: That's Mr. T! What the hell is Mr. T doing here?
BS: He didn't. He couldn't have. There is no way.
The rest of the SSN crew struggle to extract themselves from the oily mess that they are flailing around in Cole Steele slowly claws his way forward, only to have a small round white object bounce off of his skull with a resounding 'THWACK!' Cole flops over stunned, and the camera spins around to reveal yet another unknown man with an odd piece of machinery over his shoulder. He pushes a button and another white object flies out to smack another SSN wrestler. He smiles a wild grin and unleashes a volley of baseballs on the helpless crew of SSN wrestlers. Yet another graphic pops up under the mans face.
Captain H.M. 'Howling Mad' Murdock.
BS: I don't believe this! Gemini hired the ORIGINAL A-Team to back his play!
GM: This is a mockery! A mockery! Disqualify him ref! You can't let him do this to the title!
BS: Do what? What did he do! It's the SSN A-Team that tried to break the rules!
GM: This is assault! Look at what they're doing to the elite of the SSN!
BS: Yeah... I pity the fools.
GM: Oh shut up!
Gemini drags Love to the middle of the ring and locks on the Torquemada. The referee checks on Love once...twice...and then signals for the bell. The crowd erupts as Gemini is announced the winner.
WINNER: Gemini (new Extreme World champion)
BS: He's done it! Gemini's won the Extreme World championship!!
{Queen's "We Are The Champions" plays as Rob Sampson grabs the Extreme World title belt and rolls into the ring. The music dies down and Gemini asks for a microphone.}
G: We'd just like to say...
{Crazy Town's "Darkside" suddenly begins to play and the crowd boos as Marcus Gottfried emerges from the back. Gottfried has a microphone with him and when the crowd's boos finally die down, he walks halfway down the aisle and begins to speak}
MG: I hate to interrupt this little ticker tape parade, but this is merely a bump in the road! No one runs the EWI without MY say-so! So you can your little shallow victory, but in the long run, it means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!
{Suddenly the crowd pops huge as none other than Erik Zieba, Chad Dupree, and Les McCarver walk out from the back with no music. Zieba is handed a microphone and smiles at Gottfried as he begins to speak.}
EZ: Gottfried, I wish I could say it's a pleasure to see you again, but I'd be lying. There's only one reason I'm out here, and that is to announce that I've been to the corporate offices of the Super Sport Network and let me tell you, your boss is none too happy with you.
MG: M...Mister Sandberg?!
EZ: That's the guy alright. Mister Sandberg and I had a looooong talk Marcus and after that talk, I bought out the remainder of the SSN's contract with EWI with a little help from Mister Dupree here. So what that means is this...you don't have a place here anymore.
{The crowd pops huge. Up in the ring, Gemini, Love, and Sampson all watch on with interest.}
EZ: So...and I've waited oh so long to say this... GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ARENA!!!
{Security rushes down to Gottfried and escorts him away, despite his protests.}
EZ: Now, this is a great moment for the EWI, and it's about to get better. You see, a lot of you here and at home may have heard me say that the deal has gone through. Well, that deal...
RS: Hold on, Erik. I don't mean to take away from your big moment, but I think this is Gemini's time to shine.
G: We thank you, Rob. It will be our pleasure to lead the EWI into a new era and it makes us proud to know that we will be at the forefront of that new era.
RS: I'm afraid that's where you're wrong, Gemini.
G: What do you mean?
RS: I mean, you won't be leading a damn thing. We will.
{Suddenly Sampson clobbers Gemini with the Extreme World title belt and the crowd looks on in shock as he and Eddy Love join together in stomping away on Gemini.}
BS: What the hell?!?! Rob Sampson and Eddy Love...are working together?!?!
GM: I always knew I liked Rob!!
BS: I can't believe what I'm seeing.
{The crowd begins to cheer as Zieba, Dupree, and McCarver charge the ring. Love and Sampson slide out of the ring, leaving the tltle belt laying across Gemini's chest. Zieba, looking disgusted, reaches down and grabs a microphone.}
EZ: Sampson!! Love!! I don't know what the hell is going on here, but you've ruined a big moment for me! For all of us! You see, what I was about to announce is that the EWI and the NthWA have agreed to a MERGER and that MERGER will lead to a new era of prosperity for all of us. I can't do a damn thing about this now, but rest assured...your time is coming!!
BS: Did you hear that?! The EWI and NthWA are merging!!!
GM: Oh, who cares?!
BS: This is a huge announcement, Garrett!! Erik Zieba has returned, and we've got a new era coming about!! Fans, we've got to go!! We'll see you...sometime!!
{Fade to credits, and then to black.}
The End?
