Tornado in Sladeville. Prologue I thought I was a big shot. I thought I was the shit. I thought wrong. I came into the XHWF expecting another easy streak just like all the others. Little did I know, this fed was more challenging then any of the others. I came in with a cocky attitude. I had my hot girlfriend Adrian, I had the right to say, "Screw You!" to all of the people back at home who thought I couldn't make it, and I had bragging rights to say that I was undefeated in all of my wrestling career. Well, I got a rude awakening when I fought at Whiplash. XHWF Whiplash 2003 The camera pans around the sold out Target Centre in Minneapolis Minnesota. The crowd are on their feet screaming and waving around their banners and home made signs. Everything from “Vine Who?” to “Where’s Chill?” litter the cameras line of sight. The crowd are beginning to get restless, that is until the arena lights slowly dim and the thundering sound of Jeremy “The Tornado” Walker’s music blasts over the PA. He emerges from behind the curtain to a chorus of cheers from the crowd. Walker wastes no time and makes his way to the ring rolling under the bottom rope and taunting the crowd. As he does so the lights dim further, red and blue strobes dance around the arena as the first few chords of Headstrong by Trapt boom over the PA system. The crowd get to their feet as “The TV God” Ryan Grayn appears on the ramp. He holds his hand in the air as pyros explode from the stage area. Back in the ring Walker is leaning over the ropes motioning for Grayn to get his ass into gear. Grayn slowly shakes his masked head and reaches into his trouser pocket producing Clarence the Pot Smoking Kung Fu Master Gerbil. He raises Clarence up to an appreciative crowd as he continues down to the ring. Grayn makes hi way around to the announcers table just as “Papercutt” by Linkin Park blasts over the sound system. The crowd are whipped into a huge frenzy as none other than the United States champion PaperCutt comes sprinting down the aisle. He rolls into the ring and levels Walker with a hard right to the chin as Walker attempts to mount an offensive. Meanwhile on the outside Grayn is having a few quiet words with Clarence the Gerbil, he appears to be working on some sort of strategy. He nods at Clarence and then receives a mini hi-five before making his way into the ring.
Cutt is still pounding away on the downed Walker as Grayn slowly approaches him from behind. Cutt stamps several times on the back and sides of Walker before lifting him to his feet. The U.S. Champion kicks him hard in the gut and Walker doubles over in pain, sending his opportunity PaperCutt delivers hard harsh DDT sending Walkers head into the matt with a loud thud. As Cutt gets up Grayn springs into action and delivers a front drop-kick into the small of Cutt’s spine. The champ stumbles forwards and is ejected from the ring and lies in a heap on the floor. Grayn lifts Walker up back inside the ring and whips him to the ropes, Walker comes back, WHAM…a hard spinning lariat from Grayn sends Walker to the mat. Grayn follows up with a quick pin but Walker kicks out at 1. On the outside Cutt is stirring, he slowly climbs to his feet still cradling his back. Grayn again goes to send Walker into the ropes, this time Walker reverses and its Grayn going into the ropes, he bounces back and ducks a clothesline attempt from Walker but has his ankles ripped from beneath him by PaperCutt who now drags Grayn out of the ring. Cutt delivers a few hard rights and lefts to the former TV Champion before whirling him hard into the nearby ring steps. The crowd gasp as Grayn’s kneecaps crash off the steps. Walker meanwhile is catching his breath inside the ring as Cutt enters. Seeing “The Tornado” is down and vulnerable Cutt tries his luck and charges him…Walker sees him though out of the corner of his eyes and counters the offensive with a tilt a whirl backbreaker. Taking the initiative Walker begins to stomp on the chest and stomach of Cutt, not seeing however that Ryan Grayn is making his way to the top turnbuckle. Walker still continues the relentless assault on Cutt by now straddling on top of him and delivering a barrage of close quarters punches to the head and throat of the Champion. The crowd count in unison….7…8…9…10. Walker finally climbs off and taunts at the crowd who by now have noticed Grayn on the turnbuckle stalking Walker. Walker turns back to Cutt who manages to blindside him with a hard right hand to the jaw sending Walker backwards. As he does so he turns away from Cutt and Grayn leaps off the top rope catching The Tornado with a devastating hurricanrana. The crowd begin to chant “HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT” as Walker is left decimated on the ground. Grayn sees his chance and makes the cover…1…2…NO Cutt drags him off and kicks him into the gut followed by a hard swinging neckbreaker. Cutt raises Grayn to his feet and drags him over to the corner. Sitting him up onto the top rope Cutt climbs up and signals to the crowd for a superplex. But Grayn has other ideas as he hits Cutt with a low blow followed by a group of rights and lefts. Grayn takes the advantage and gets to his feet on the top with Cutt still perched on the turnbuckle now doubled over. Grayn motions to the crowd and flips forwards over Cutt delivering a sunset flip powerbomb to the US Champ. The crowd scream in appreciation as now all three men lay motionless in the ring. The referee begins the count… 1…….2…..3……4……5, Walker is up to a knee….6……7, now Cutt and Grayn are both up to a knee respectively and the referee stops the count at 7. Cutt and Grayn begin to trade lefts and rights as Walker sizes them up from the other side of the ring. He charges the pair of them, but Cutt sees and pushes Grayn in the way and Walker hits a huge spear on Grayn sending the pair of them through the ropes and crashing to the ground. “HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT” the crowd begins to chant. Cutt is now the only man left standing. He rolls to the outside and lifts the motionless body of Grayn and lays him on the announcers table. The commentators quickly move out of the way, making sure to take Clarence with them. Cutt now goes and lays Walker beside Grayn on the table. The Champion rolls back inside the ring and climbs the turnbuckle. Cutt signals to the crowd and they get to their feet cheering him on. After a few seconds of contemplation and deep breathing Cutt leaps off of the turnbuckle in a shooting star press maneuver. Light bulbs flicker all over the arena as Cutt soars through the air….but wait Grayn has seen him and he rolls from the table as Cutt comes crashing down on top of Jeremy “The Tornado” Walker. Now Grayn is the only man moving! He quickly rolls into the ring to break the count and rolls back out as the fans are on their feet screaming for more. Grayn drags the lifeless bodies of Cutt and Walker into the ring and covers the Champion. The referee begins the count….1….2…3…NO CUTT KICKED OUT!!! How in the hell did he kick out…he should be dead by all rights!! Grayn cant believe it as he collapses onto his back. After a few moments he slaps his hands on the mat and picks up Walker whirling him into the ropes…on the comeback…DEVIATION!!! Grayn nails the modified suplex/DDT and Walker is out cold! Grayn quickly scrambles on top as the ref counts again…1…2…3…NO!! Cutt drags off Grayn and kicks him in the gut… and throws him into the turnbuckle…Cutt climbs above him…INFAMOUS PAPERCUTT…He nailed it! Cutt now with the cover…1…2…3!!! NO!!! Again another kick out! Cutt cant believe it and picks Grayn back up. Cutt signals for the Paperplex…he hoists him up….reversal!! Grayn nails the Dufflebag Vertabreaker on the Champion…he goes for the cover….1…2…3!!!! Its all over!!! Ryan Grayn pins Papercutt…we have a new U.S. Champion!!! Ring Announcer Pamela Paulshock: Your winner, and NEW XHWF US Champion.... Ryan Grayn! Grayn celebrates in the ring with his newly won title, he is joined by Clarence the Pot Smoking Kung Fu Master Gerbil as we break to commercials. I thought I was going to kick ass. But instead of succeeding, I lost my girlfriend, I was too embarrassed to say, "Screw You!" to everyone who said I couldn't do it, and I lost my undefeated bragging rights. Face it, I was lame, I got my ass whooped, and I was viewed as a little bragging bitch by all. I had to lay low for a while. Hide out and wait for my return. But then, after a month of hiding, I came back.
(enter match that I interfere in) I'm back in business, and citizens of Sladeville, there is a Tornado heading your way!
A black Barracuda pulls up to a 7-11 at about 7:30 at night. It pulls in next to a pump and a man gets out. He begins to pump gas into his car. The camera is still facing the back of his head, his identification unknown. He lights a cigarette and starts smoking. An Chinese man comes running out from inside. Man No no no! You put dat out now! You make a fire! It goes BOOM! Now, put it down now!
The man at the pump turns around and takes another drag on the cigarette. The man is none other then the returning Jeremy Walker! He looks at the man and takes the cigarette out of his mouth. Jeremy Walker
Get your ass back inside before I drive away with free gas. The man throws up his arms and walks back inside. Suddenly, a H2 Hummer pulls up and a black man steps out. He puts some shades on and he walks, in slow-motion, into the 7-11. Walker finishes filling up his car and he goes to put the pump into the holder. The scene ends. A black man is driving in his H2 Hummer. His cell phone starts to ring and he answers it. Someone on the other end starts talking.
Yo Caleb, we got the low down on that guy. Caleb Slade?
Man Yea, it took us a while, but we finally located him. There is this guy. Jeremy Walker. Find him. Bring him here. ASAP. Caleb Aight dawg. The man, Caleb, flips his phone shut and continues to drive. He pulls into a 7-11 where a man is standing filling his car. He gets out and puts on some shades. Caleb then walks into the store and sees a Chinese man behind the counter on the phone.
Man Yes yes. He told me he was gonna kill me. He's got a machine gun. He's going crazy come quick. Caleb looks at him and goes into the back. He starts to prepare a coffee and he hears a swarm of police sirens. A police officer is on the blow horn. Officer Drop your weapon and step away from the car. Throw down your machine gun and calm down. Sir! Calm down! Don't talk back, sir! Caleb, curious, walks to the door, holding his coffee. The scene ends. The scene opens to Walker watching the black man walk into the 7-11. He sees the clerk on the phone. He quickly grabs the pump nozzle and makes a trail or gasoline about 25 feet away from the pumps. He jumps in the car and begins to drive away. Suddenly, police cars crowd the street in front of him and behind him. The are all across the street, however, keeping a distance from the 7-11 and Walker. An officer gets on the blow horn.
Officer Drop your weapon and step away from the car. Throw down your machine gun and calm down. Jeremy Walker Calm down? |
