Saturday Showdown
Showdown begins with the normal light show that electrifies the crowd at the Cow Palace Arena in San Francisco, California! All over people can be seen holding up signs with such catchy messages as "San Fran loves Shane Donovan", "I want the Lowedown on Showdown", "Simply the Best", "Adonis is God" and the always lovable "Barry is a fat ass!". We go down to ringside where the commentators are ready to begin the show!
FS : Frank Shouurt here for another presentation of Showdown!
BMB : And I’m Big Mouth Barry! We have some great matches planned tonight including a main event in which we'll see the Prime Time Players take on the Next Level for the NEW Tag Team Titles! Also, lets not forget that we'll also have such NEW stars as Jag, Shane Donovan, Maniak and NEW World Champ Derek Lowe in action tonight in their first round Blaze Bowl matches!
FS: We have all of our big names here tonight not to mention a few debuts as well so make sure to stay tuned because we're promising that tonights show will not disappoint!
"My Way" by Limp Bizkit plays as Bryan Chase walks out followed by Shane Donovan, Scott Thunder and the Billion Dollar Gal. All four of them pose at the top of the ramp as the crowd boos them all heavily. They all follow Chase down to the ring where they stand behind him as he pulls a mic out of his coat pocket and clears his throat
Chase : Now as many of you may already know John Blaze is not here tonight and with him gone I am in charge.
The crowd boos this announcement by Chase as he shakes his head in disgust at the total lack of disrespect.
Chase : Now seeing how I'm in charge tonight there is some business that I would like to get out of the way. Now I don't know if these wrestlers are here tonight but if "Thunder" Matt Huff, Cosmos and The End are here tonight I'd like to ask you all to please step into my office when you have a chance. Why? Because YOU'RE FIRED!!! I don't know if anyone informed you guys but here in the NEW we pay our wrestlers to actually wrestle. You are all not meeting up to our standard so pack your bags and clear out.
The crowd actually cheers Chase for this announcement. One can only guess that the now unemployed wrestlers will not be missed by them either.
Chase : Now in other news it is no secret that the NEW front office is in shambles. It seems that Blaze and myself are quickly learning that good workers are hard to find. In an interview that Blaze released earlier this week he was quoted as saying that former NEW President Amp resigned and VP T Banks was let go.
There is another cheer from the crowd as Chase cracks a smile
Chase : Yeah, we won't miss them either. Now unlike John Blaze I am not such a nice guy and I don't believe in sugar coating the story. For all of those interested in how Amp and T Banks were really let go from NEW I would like you to please turn your attention to the screen at the top of the ramp
Some security footage is shown in black and white. It shows Blaze and Chase standing in an office at NEW HQ with Amp and T Banks. They seem to be in the middle of a heated conversation.
Chase : .....and we are sick and tired of your lame assed excuses! You guys know absolutely jack shit about what it takes to run a successfull wrestling promotion so on behalf of Blaze and myself you are both fired. You have until the end of the afternoon to clean out your offices.
Amp and T Banks both jump up from their seats knocking them over in the process.
Amp : Screw you guys and the NEW. It doesn't matter because we got a better offer from another fed anyway but for the record we should kick both of your asses for daring to talk to us like that.
Blaze and Chase look at each other and slowly stand up taking off their jackets. Chase is ready to go but Blaze puts up a hand and stops him.
Blaze : I'm very sorry to hear you feel that way but let's get one thing straight. Chase is a former NEW World Champion and in my day I was one of the best wrestlers you ever saw so if you two jokers want a fight then it's on.
Amp and T Banks take a step back. Seeing as how their bluff has been called they both put up their hands and make it clear that they are not looking for a fight. Blaze looks over at Chase and laughs as he stands there with his arms folded.
Blaze : Now the two of you have a choice. You can leave through the window or you can take the stairs. However you want to do it. The choice is yours.
T Banks looks like he's going to shit his pants as he looks at Amp.
Amp : We'll take the stairs! We'll take the stairs!
Blaze and Chase both smile
Blaze : That's what we thought.
The camera cuts to a scene of Amp and T Banks getting tossed down a flight of metal stairs. It then pans to a shot of Blaze at Chase at the top of the stairs wiping their hands clean
Blaze : The nerve of those guys coming into my building and telling me to screw the NEW.
The picture cuts out as we return to a shot of Bryan Chase and the rest of Billion Dollar Promotions in the ring. The crowd all seems to be laughing at the clip the just saw.
Chase : Well there you have it folks! On a side not I would like to announce that we are once looking to fill two openings in the NEW Front Office.
Chase and the rest of BDP laugh
Chase : Now moving onto the real reason that we are all out here tonight. I would like to take a moment to talk about Renegade.
The crowd gives a nice pop at the mention of the last NEW PPV
Chase : Yes, it was a big success. Buy rates were up and we say some great matches but what I'm really out her for right now isn't to talk about the Renegade PPV itself but instead Billion Dollar Promotions performance at Renegade.
The crowd boos as Shane Donovan steps forward and stands next to Chase
Chase : Shane, first off congratulations on your big win at Renegade. That was a match that none of us will ever forget......no matter how hard we will try. But I'm not out here to talk about how to choose to live your life. What I am out here to do is to commend you on all the hard work and effort that you've been putting in since you signed on with Billion Dollar Promotions. You've exceeded my expectation and I would like to wish you the best of luck in your Blaze Bowl match later this evening.
There are more boos as Shane shakes Chase's hand. The NEW Commish then turns his attention to Scott Thunder.
Chase : Scott Thunder....what can I say? I guess last Sunday just wasn't our night. It was a tough loss that we took to the Prime Time Players and I know that nobody hates losing more then you do. Now I know that you've been having a rough time in the ring these past few weeks with your loss to Phil Adonis two weeks ago and with the way that you cost us the NEW tag-team titles against the Next Level when you got pinned three weeks ago but I just wanted to let you know....from me and Shane and even the Billion Dollar Gal....that.....that.....
Bryan kicks Thunder in the gut and lays him out with his Billion Dollar Facelift.
Chase : That we just can't have you screwing things up for us anymore, okay? I formed Billion Dollar Promotions so that I could surround myself with winners and you my friend are a loser! So consider yourself out!
Chase kneels down and holds Thunder by his legs as he tries to crawl out of the ring
Chase : Finish em off Shane!
Donovan climbs onto the nearest turnbuckle and hits his Sexxicutioner on Scott Thunder getting a pop from the crowd in the process. Chase and Shane then stand over the unconcious body of Thunder.
Chase : Well that concludes my business for tonight. Enjoy the show and hit my music!
"My Way" plays again as Chase, the Billion Dollar Gal and Shane Donovan all exit the ring leaving the fallen Scott Thunder face down in the ring BMB : Wooaaaah!! Did you see what Chase and Donovan just did to former NEW Champ Scott Thunder? I guess Chase is still bummed about how Billion Dollar Promotions only left Renegade 1 for 2 instead of 2 for 2.
FS : For once I actually agree with you. It seems that Bryan Chase doesn't feels that Scott Thunder is dragging them down so it looks like he's out and on Chase's proverbial shit list! I know I wouldn't want to be in Scott Thunder's shoes. Thunder's being helped out of the ring so what do you say we get to our first match of the evening.
FS: Our next match up is a singles match schedule for one fall. But, ya know…to open up the first Showdown since Renegade, I feel this is really quite the one to do it with. Mike Fallwell has been showing himself every time you turn around that the is someone to not take lightly whether it be in the Regional Title battle Royal he recently took part in, or when he combated Swift at Renegade only to fall just short. He’s just really impressed me. And, then there’s T-Bone. What a great young star here in NEW I mean…
BMB: What I wouldn’t give for a T-Bone right now! Ya know what though? The other night I went to a friend of mines for dinner...the guy served 10 baked potatoes in a basket and no essential meats. The baked potatoes were the main course! I was so disgusted I ended the friendship and vowed never to return until he got a true appreciation for the life-line of American men...meat. Now, what was I talking about again? Oh yeah, T-Bone’s got this one in the bag.
“Get's Me Through” by the Ozzy Osbourne plays throughout the arenas speakers as Mike Fallwell bursts out of the curtains, accompanied by his apprentice, Christian White. The crowd meets them with a mixed reaction as the men head to the ring for a matchup of two of the NEW’s top middleweight performers. As soon as the two men get to the ring “All in the Family” By Korn ignites over the PA. The crowd, in turn, ignites in boos… raining them down upon T-Bone as he enters through the curtains. T-Bone makes his way to the ring, looking pretty downbeat. Christian exits to the ringside as Fallwell pushes himself out of his corner and towards the entering T-Bone, and they lock up as the bell rings.
FS: And, with the sound of that bell Showdown is underway! The two men, in my opinion, are very equally matched and man, this should prove to be momentous to say the least!
BMB: Bite him T-bone, bite em’!
Fallwell gains the advantage with an arm twist, then locks T’s arm behind him in a hammerlock. Bones reaches backward, going for purchase, and finally grabs a hold of Fallwell’s head. He flips Mike forward with a snapmare, but Fallwelll holds on to his arm and T-Bone flips forward as well, landing on his back. Fallwell lets the hammerlock go and goes to the side for a headlock, but T-Bone slips out of it and goes behind Mike. With Mike still down, Bone applies a waistlock, then pulls Fallwell to his feet. T-Bone goes for a german suplex, but Fallwell flips over and lands on his feet.
FS: So far, both men are evading each others maneuvers quite well! Man, this is incredible action!
BMB: You are like the Tony Shiavonnie of NEW… “This is the greatest match ever!” “This Showdown will be the greatest ever!” “Renegade was the best PPV…EVER!!”
FS: Just watch the match.
Mike Fallwell dropkicks T-Bone in the back of the head, knocking him into the ropes. As T-Bone stumbles back off, Fallwell hooks him from behind, going for full nelson. T-Bone counters out by slamming his hip into Fallwelll’s midsection, breaking the full nelson. T charges at him, but Fallwell easily side-steps and shoves T-Bone into the ropes. T-Bone leaps onto the second strand and tries to come back with an asai forearm smash, but Mike moves aside again and T crashes to the mat. Fallwell capitalizes by hitting an asai moonsault.
FS: The athleticism…the sheer athleticism… it’s astounding! (a glare from BMB)…it…um, was just an O K move?
He rolls T-Bone over and makes the cover. T-Bone kicks out at two. Fallwell brings T-Bone back up again and whips him into the corner, then charges in and hits him with an elbowsmash. As T-Bone stumbles out, Fallwell hops onto the mid-turnbuckle, and measures up T-Bone. Fallwell then leaps off and goes for a flying bulldog. T, however, side-steps and Mike Fallwell smashes face-first into the mat, much to the delight of T-Bone.
T-Bone takes a few moments to shake off Mike’s attacks, then brings Fallwell up to his feet and takes him down with a hard suplex. He brings Mike right back up and executes a snap suplex. Finally, T-Bone brings Fallwell up one more time. He hooks Mike by the head and drives him into the mat with a double-arm DDT. T-Bone drops down and makes the cover.

Kickout!
FS: Close…very close.
BMB: A little to close…. (whistles the x-files theme music, accompanied by a glare from FS)
And enraged T-Bone brings Fallwell up to his feet, then whips him into the corner. Mike’s momentum carries him out of the corner, and T-Bone charges in and nails him with a clothesline. T-Bone then brings Fallwell up and tosses him from the ring to the outside. T-Bone slides to the outside, but Fallwell meets him as he hits the floor with the side kick, right to the jaw. With T-Bone down, Fallwell slides back into the ring and waits for T-Bone to get up. When he does, Fallwell runs into the ropes and leaps over with a somersault plancha, taking T-Bone (and himself) down, and drawing an “N E W! N E W! N E W!” chant from the crowd.
FS: Listen to these fans!! They’re loving this!!!!
After a few moments, Mike Fallwell pulls himself to his feet. He brings T-Bone up and tosses him into the ring, and follows him in. Fallwell makes the cover, but T-Bone barely gets a shoulder up at two. Fallwell brings T-Bone up and positions T-Bone for, what looks to be, his finishing move!
BMB: “Sucks to be you!!” Hahah…get it, it’s a pun… his finishing move is named that…haha…get it?
FS: This is why I can only get a job at a professional wrestling organization instead of somewhere like ESPN… I’m working with…you…
T-Bone pushes him off into the ropes, but Fallwell comes off and goes for a spinning heel kick. T-Bone catches him and tries a fallaway slam, but Fallwell lands on his feet. T-Bone turns, and Fallwell kicks him in the gut. He then executes a facebuster, driving T-Bone right into the mat. Fallwell lifts the exhausted T-Bone to his feet, signals, positions, and EXECUTES the “sucks to be you!”
T-Bone lays motionless on the mat, aside from the occasional convulsion, as Fallwell slides over, hooks the leg, and the ref makes the count.
2……
kickout!
NO! 3!!!!!!
Fallwell is declared the winner, much to the approval of the crowd, and T-Bone rolls wearily from the ring as Mike Fallwell’s hand is raised. The camera fades out, then back in on the announcers table where BMB and FS seem to be sorting through their notes.
Showdown headed to the ring for the regional title match, a one-on-one matchup, pitting The Pale Horse vs. the Regional Champion, Jay Swift. The buzz is coming off the crowd in waves, as they await this true clash of titans.
Godsmack hits the PA system as the crowd immediately stands to their feet. “I Stand Alone” rings out, and the crowd erupts, a somewhat large ovation for the challenger, The Pale Horse, who makes his way out of the NEW backstage area and to the ring. The Pale Horse rolls into the ring.
BMB: The Pale Horse…I just…don’t know… pale….horse… with a name like that, how good can he be?
FS: Well, he’s been performing quite well since his entrance into the NEW, and now he’s got a chance at the big time, some NEW gold… so, I’d say his paleness, and fixation with horses… is, well, paying off.
BMB: Speaking of horses… I was downloading some porn off the internet yesterday, and I saw some animals doing… well…ya know, and there was this one horse… oh man it…
The camera cuts off then back on with some soothing elevator music playing in the background, a NEW logo as a background image, and a marquee scrolling on the bottom of the screen stating “The NEW is currently experiencing technical difficulties” The camera then cuts back on with FS sitting staring straight at the camera with his eyes wide open and his mouth practically dropped down to the table. BMB just sits there like nothing has happened.
BMB: We gonna get this match started or what?
Suddenly “On & On & On” plays, and the arena rocks with boos as Jay Swift heads out from backstage, dawning the NEW Regional Title. Swift sneers at the crowd as he walks to the ring, then rolls in and stretches himself somewhat using the ropes. Swift unstraps his belt, hands it to the ref, who holds it high…signifying a title match, and then takes it to the ring crew members. Swift leans over the ropes to trade a few words with Some fans, as Pale Horse circles his way around the ring, keeping his eyes trained on Swift the whole way as he goes. Swift stretches a bit more, then returns the stare right back in kind.
The ref issues a few last-minute instructions to the participants, and then he signals.
The bell rings.
BMB: And…we’rrrrrrre off!
Swift and Pale Horse slowly circle each other, each man looking for an opening. Finally Pale Horse lunges forward and catches Swift in a lock-up, which is bad news for Swift, as is evident to anybody with two eyes, the size difference is quite large. Horse violently shoves Swift back, and Swift flies into the corner. Pale Horse charges in at him, but Swift rolls away and Horse slams into the turnbuckles.
Pale Horse stumbles out, still facing into the corner, and Swift kicks him in the back of the knee to bend him over, then drives him to the mat with a reverse DDT. Jay Swift runs into the ropes, then drives the point of his elbow into the throat of Pale Horse. He gets up and repeats this, this time finishing with a kneedrop. Jay Swift then kneels over Pale Horse and lifts his legs into the air and lets them drop down, hitting a series of kneedrop slams to the throat, head, and side of Pale Horse. Finally, he stops and covers, but Pale Horse kicks out with authority at two.
FS: (still a little bit startled from the remarks of earlier) ….brutality….
BMB: You got it, that horse is just being beat! Just like in the por-
FS: SHUT UP!
As Pale Horse gets up, Swift runs into the ropes and leaps high, hitting him with a huge clothesline and knocking him back down to the mat. Swift lands on top of Pale Horse and moves into a mounted position, then begins to unload with a series of punches to the face. Finally, Swift tires of this, brings Horse up, and hurls him through the middle rope to the outside. Swift slides out and goes after Pale Horse.
Swift grabs Pale Horse and sets to slam him into the guardrail, but Pale Horse puts a stop to this easily, blocking Swift’s try by grabbing the guardrail. He then shoots an elbow into the gut of Swift, then slams Jay face-first into the guardrail instead.
FS: These guys are really battling it out, out there! I’m impressed thoroughly with the sheer size and endurance of Pale Horse… he’s really hanging in there with the veteran champion.
Swift stumbles back, and Pale Horse grabs him, then whips him hard into the ringpost. Swift clocks his head on the post and falls off it, crashing to the ground. Pale Horse stalks over to him and brings him up, then sets him up to feel some serious pain. Pale Horse lifts Swift up over his shoulder, then throws him down to the floor in a variation of a sidewalk slam. Jay hits hard and practically bounces off the floor.
BMB: DOH! This isn’t a hardcore match, get back in the ring!! Wait….what am I saying?! Hit him with a fan!
FS: A fan?
BMB: ...audience participation, hello?
Pale Horse brings Jay right back up and tosses him back in the ring, then brings him up again and throws him into the corner. Pale Horse stalks into the corner, then lifts his boot and applies it to Swift’s throat, using his incredible size and power to choke the life out of Jay. Pale Horse breaks it at the count of four, then begins to lay into Swift with a series of big, wind-up elbows to the upper chest and head.
Finally, Pale Horse brings Jay out and uses all of his strength to whip Jay across the ring and into the opposite corner, where Jay hits with incredible force. Swift’s momentum carries him back out of the corner, and he runs right into a monstrous lariat from Pale Horse, knocking him straight down to the mat.
Knowing that he’s in trouble, Swift rolls from the ring to the outside before Pale Horse can make the cover. Pale Horse rolls outside as well and begins stalking Jay, who’s walking across the ring outside to clear the cobwebs. As Pale Horse comes up behind Jay, Swift reveals that he’s suckered the big man in, by kicking backwards and catching Pale Horse with a mule kick below the belt. Pale Horse is doubled over, and Swift grabs his head and slams him into the floor with a DDT. Pale Horse is down, and Swift heaves him back up and rolls him into the ring, then follows him in. With Pale Horse still down on the mat, Jay makes the cover.

Pale Horse gets a shoulder up.
FS: Awesome endurance from the big man after the nasty DDT outside!
BMB: Yeah….he’s resilient….
FS: Word of the day toilet paper?
BMB: Yep
Jay curses, but brings Pale Horse back up anyway. He kicks away at Horse’s right knee and leg, finally dropping Pale Horse to one knee. With his head in position, Swift applies a headlock. Swift cranks the hold, really having it locked in, and Pale Horse looks like he’s beginning to fade. Horse goes down to both knees now, and Swift keeps the move locked in.
The ref raises Horse’s arm once.
It drops.
Raises his arm a second time.
It drops.
Raises his arm a third time.
It stays up.
The crowd goes nuts as Pale Horse gets the adrenaline flowing, powering his way back up to his feet. He reaches out one huge right hand and wraps it around the throat of Swift, choking him. The pressure is so intense that Jay has no choice but to release the hold. Pale Horse still has his arm around Swift’s throat and takes full advantage of the situation. He lifts Swift up, then hurls him down to the mat with a chokeslam.
The crowd goes nuts again as Pale Horse brings Swift up and puts him between his legs in position for a spike piledriver, aka… Repent. Only seconds stand between Swift and annihilation. Pale Horse reaches down to lift Swift up. Swift drops to one knee and low blows Pale Horse. Just in case that didn’t have full effect, he punches Pale Horse directly in the testicles.
BMB: Holy ouch!
FS: You completely got all the emotion this match has been developing in that one comment…thank you.
Pale Horse staggers back, the hold broken, doubled over. Swift gets to his feet and walks over to Swift, then kicks him in the gut, doubling him over. He then drives him into the mat with a evenflow DDT. With Pale Horse down, Swift, caught up in the moment…makes the cover, without going for the Old Skool Drop.

Kickout.
Swift slams the mat in disbelief as the crowd cheers, Jay barks a few words at the ref. He brings Pale Horse back up, trying to figure out what to do next. Swift grabs Pale Horse by the head, going for the Urban Assault. Pale Horse, however, uses his power to simply stand his ground during the jumping Evenflow attempt. Davis falls down to the mat, yet leaps up quickly in rage and charges at Pale Horse, who blasts him full in the face with a big boot.
Pale Horse wastes no time in bringing Swift right back up, preparing to end it. He sets Swift up, lifts him, and drives his head into the mat.
Repent..
Pale Horse makes the cover.

FS: The Pale Horse is the new NEW Regional Champion!! What a match, what an ending, what a…match!!!
BMB: Ehh, it was alright… Not half as good as whatever I just ate, what was that? Get that vendor back over here again!
The crowd is cheering intensely, and The Pale Horse’s arm is raised as he is declared the victor, and NEW Regional champion. Pale Horse celebrates a little, walking around and playing to the crowd. The camera cuts back to the anouncer’s booth as the excitement in the ring dies down.
::Commercial::
Tylice: Our next match is for one fall and is a first round Blaze Bowl matchup!! Introducing first, from San Diego, California weighing in at 269 pounds…....He is a former NEW Xtreme Champion....Maniak!!! "Debonaire" by Dope starts to play as Maniak comes out from the back to a loud round of boos. He marches down the asile and rolls into the ring where he leans over the top rope and yells at the crowd maknig them boo him louder. BMB : Who is this guy again? FS : That's Maniak. He's a former NEW Xtreme Champion but these days he's trying to prove that he's more then just extreme. A big win or two in the Blaze Bowl can really help get his NEW career back on track you know. BMB : Wait a second. Isn't this the guy who's match at Renegade got bumped? FS : I believe so and I can't imagine Maniak is too happy about that either. BMB : Would you be? Having your PPV match bumped is like a slap in the face from the NEW Execs. I'm surprised that Maniak isn't angrier. Tylice: And his opponent, hailing from Hollywood, California and weighing in at 230 pounds here he is, the self proclamied Sexxiest Man in the NEW...."Sexxy" Shane Donovan!!!!!! "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred plays as Shane Donovan makes his way out to the ring accompanied by Shawn King. The crowd boos more then cheers but there are members of the audience who hold up pink signs with Shane and Shawn's names on them. Shane rolls into the ring and stands in a his corner while Shawn stands on the ring apron rubbing his shoulders and talking strategy with him. BMB : Now I'm a 21st century kind of guy but what happened between these two at Renegade was just not cool! FS : Well it's just the that old saying. There's someone out there for everyone and in the case of Shane Donovan it turns out that Shawn King was the ying to Shane Donovan's yang. BMB : Shane Donovan's yang? What the hell are you talking? FS : Forget it. Now I don't know what exactly is up with Donovan and King but the entire NEW can't help but take notice of their uh alliance. They are both exceptional young stars here in the NEW and if they start putting their heads together they can really make waves here. BMB : Don't talk about them putting their heads together please. That's what ruined Renegade for me! The bell rings to start the match and Maniak steps to the middle of the ring while Shane still lays back in the corner talking strategy with Shawn King. BMB : I really hope King isn't whispering sweet nothings in his ear! FS : They're talking strategy....I think? Finally, Shane moves to the middle of the ring and locks up with the Maniak. The former Xtreme champion wastes no time using his strength and weight advantage to push Donovan into the corner where he hammers him with left and right fist. Shane drops to the floor, rolls out of the ring and runs into the waiting arms of Shawn King who rubs Shane's head. The crowd boos them heavily at this display. FS: Ummm....maybe they're just playing mind games with Maniak. BMB : Well if they are then it's working. Look at him in the ring. He's staring at the two of them with a look of total disgust on his face and can you blame him? FS : Wasn't it only a few weeks ago that you were cheering for Shane Donovan? BMB : I was cheering for Shawn King but that was because he came to the ring with lesbians. Coming to the ring with Donovan is a totally different story. FS : Just call the match. Shane rolls back into the ring and locks back up with Maniak. He gets the bigger man in a wrist lock but Maniak powers out of it and body slams Shane to the mat hard. Donovan gets back up and runs back to his corner on his knees to a waiting Shawn King who is once again up on the ring apron. Shane clutches onto Shawn's leg while King has some harse words to Maniak. BMB : Once again Shane runs back to King for protection. FS : And Maniak has seen enough! He charges King and knocks him to the floor with a big forearm!!
Maniak stands looking down at King and admires his work but forgets about Shane who sneaks up behind him and rolls him up for the cover.

Kickout!!! FS : That was a pretty sneaky move by Shane. Both men hop back to their feet but Shane is the quick of the two and is able to take Maniak down with a drop kick and then another one. He picks up the big man and starts chopping him down to size in the corner but with a burst of strength Maniak reverses it and hits Shane with three thunderous chops. Shane staggers out of the corner holding his chest and drops to his knees screaming in pain. Maniak follows it up with a soccer style boot right to the side of Shane's head that sends him sprawling BMB : It's good!!
FS : Wow! That was some boot to the head by Maniak. You can bet that Shane Donovan's ears are ringing after that one! BMB : Look at Shawn King on the outside? He looks concerned! Shawn King starts slapping the mat trying to get things going for Shane but it doesn't help as Maniak lifts him off the man and hit's a serious looking jackhammer. He then climbs up on the second turnbuckle and jumps off driving a fist into Shane's head. Instead of going for the cover he throws Shane into the ropes. Grabbing him as he bounces off Maniak grabs him by the throat and chokeslams Shane to the mat. BMB : Wow!! Maniak isn't kidding around here. He want to move into the second round of the Blaze Bowl! FS : The crowd actually cheered him after he chokeslammed Donovan there. Maybe Maniak is finally back to his old self. Maniak covers Shane but only gets a two count. He argues with the ref about a slow count but the ref signals that Shane got his shoulder up in time. Maniak pulls Donovan back to his feet and rocks him with forearms to the side of the head. before whipping him into the ropes again and hitting a powerslam. He then rises jumps back to his feet and signals that it's time for this match to come to an end. BMB : Shane-O is getting his ass beat and not in the way that he likes. FS : Shawn King is up on the apron again. He's trying to get Maniak's attention! BMB : What the hell for. This guy is hotter then a rack of ribs right now. Stay away Shawn! Maniak has had enough and pulls Shawn King into the ring by his hair. He whips King into the corner where Shane Donovan just happens to be standing and trying to catch his breath. King slams into him hitting the back of his head on Shane's chin but before both men even know it Maniak charges them both and hits a big splash. Shane crumples to his knees while King staggers forward and right into Maniak's arms. Maniak catches him and lays him out with his Implant DDT as the crowd responds with another loud cheer. The referee goes to check on Shawn King and while he has his back turned Shane is able to sneak up behind Maniak and lock on his testicular claw doubling the bigger man over and making him howl in pain. Shane uses this to his advantage as he hits his Donovan Drop and makes the cover. The ref sees this and start his count. BMB : Sneaky move by Shane Donovan Shane hooks the tights but the ref is out of position and can't see it.

Kickout!!! FS : Maniak is still alive and Shane is totally disappointed! He though he had the win! BMB : Wait a second. I think Shane is hurt! Shane begins to stand up but then drops to the mat clutching his knee in pain. The referee moves in to check on him. BMB : Uh oh!! Shane is down after hitting the Donovan Drop. He might have twisted his knee or something. FS : It's still not exactly clear what happened. Maybe we can go to the videotape and see what exactly happened. Maniak is back on his feet and looking on at the referee and Shane with a curious look on his face. He still appears to be a little woozy after taking Shane's Donovan Drop. FS : Wait a second! Shawn King is back on his feet to. Look over your shoulder Maniak!! BMB : I smell payback!!! Shawn King spins Maniak around and hits his Transfix finisher (Christian's Unprettier). He the rolls out of the ring. Seeing what has just happened Shane pushes the referee away from his and jumps back to his feet. FS : It was all a hoax!! Shane was playing possum so that Shawn King could take care of Maniak while the referee's back was turned! BMB : Now that's what I call teamwork! Shane ascends to the top rope and leaps off hit his Sexxicutioner. He then rolls Maniak over and makes the cover. 1....

Three!!! FS :Shane Donovan steals a win away from Maniak with the help of Shawn King and it looks like he's moving on to the second round of the Blaze Bowl!! Shane jumps back to his feet and raises his arm over his head in voctory as Shawn King sprints into the ring and gives him a big hug. Both men then proceed to stop away on Maniak for good measure. BMB : Look at those queens lay the boot leather to Maniak. Looks like they're trying to send a message or something! FS : The referee should step in and do something about this! Shawn and Shane continue to kick away on Maniak until he finally rolls out of the ring and lands on the floor outside with a dull slap. They then raise each others arms in victory and leave the ring hand in hand to a huge round of boos. Garbage begins to fly into the ring. FS : Shane Donovan and Shawn King seem to finally be on the same page and as we saw here tonight they can be quite the dangerous duo. What they did tonight to Maniak was completely out of line but I doubt any strict action will be taken against them due to the fact that Shane Donovan is part of Billion Dollar Promotions. BMB : I guess that's the way the ball bounces sometimes. Speaking of balls anyone see my meatball sub? It was here just a minute ago.
Tylice: Ladies and gentlemen, our next match is a
first round match of the Blaze Bowl tournament for the NEW World Title.
Introducing first, weighing in at 297 pounds, from Coushatta, Louisiana,
being accompanied by his tag team partner Firebird, he is …. “The Monster”
JAG!!!
“Youth of a Nation” bangs through the Cow Palace in
San Francisco as the big man known as Jag makes his way to the ring. Jag
steps over the top rope as the fans boo heavily. Jag looks on as if he
doesn’t even care. The POD song dies down and the lights dim as the fans
roar in anticipation of the NEW Champ.
Tylice: And his opponent, weighing in at 255 pounds,
hailing from Calgary, Alberta, he is the NEW World Champion…. “Loose Cannon”
Derek Lowe!!!
“Grind” erupts through the PA system as the fans
welcome the NEW World Champion. Derek Lowe emerges from the back as the
smoke fills the stage. He drops to one knee and thrusts the title over his
head with a gloved fist. He then heads to the ring and poses while Jag just
leans in a corner watching. Jag grabs the mic from Tylice as the lights in
the arena come back on.
