The Odeon, Chicago, IL.


K. Fred Brown & Johnny Saturday


This is it! This is the night we've all been waiting for, the first champions of the Big Sky will be crowned tonight in this very ring!  There is only one match tonight, the most important match in Big Sky History.  As you can see the second cage tier is being lowered down onto the cage as we speak.  Those 8 boxes contain the future of the Big Sky!  Let's go over the rules one more time to refresh your memory!

There will be a two tiered cage, on the bottom will have 6 boxes strapped to the top of the cage.  The boxes are out of reach of the wrestler's unless they stand on the top rope or climb to the top of the cage.  On the bottom cage their are 4 boxes over each corner and two boxes suspended immediately over the center of the ring.  The wrestler would have to climb monkey bar style to get to the two int the center.  The top cage's boxes are also directly in the center, but the ladder will stay in the cage to help the wrestlers.  In the bottom level two will have weapons and the other two will have the TV belt and the Hardcore strap and two will have invitations to the top level.  Each participant will fight over the chance to grab a box.  You can either get a pinfall victory or a submission to give you a chance to grab a box, or you can merely break the box during the match you get what's inside.  If you break a box with a weapon, then you get to use that weapon and are still in the match.  The wrestler's that break the boxes with the TV or the Hardcore belts are immediately the champions and are out of the match to let the other's fight.  If a wrestler breaks the box with an invitation, he has a ladder drop and climbs to the top and waits for the next participant.  Once the two invitation boxes have been broken and both wrestlers are in the top cage the Championship match will start even if the bottom cage's boxes haven't been broken.

That for you fools means that both cages could very well be going at once!  Action squared!

Looks that way.

Damn!  The top cage is mine.  It includes a weapon box and the new championship belt.  The wrestler either breaks the box or wins a pinfall or submission decision to choose a box.  If they choose the weapon they are free to use it, if they choose the belt first then they are declared the new Big Sky Champion and we all cry.   The match is over when all the belts are claimed.  So technically, the bottom match could still go on after the world champion is declared.  Ya, like the promoter is going to let that happen.

Actually you are wrong, if by chance the bottom cage is still going, the two participants from the top cage can climb down and try to claim a belt, or for the new Champ another belt if he wishes!

So the World Champion could very well come down and claim the TV title as well.  Damn, were going to need a rulebook for this one!

I'm keeping a scorecard, the last week was a big week in the Big Sky.  Wrestler's were gearing up and fans sold out the Odeon for the first sell out in Big Sky history.  This is a great night of wrestling, never before seen.

Your giddiness is making me sick!  This is going to be an all out war.  Gore and blood, broken bones and broken spirits, this is my kind of a match.  Nine men beating each other's brains out in a bloody game of Let's Make a Deal!

Or for you Barbie's Dream Date!  Anyway the cage is assembled, the crew is checking out all of the cages and the bindings.  The two referee's have positioned themselves one in each cage and we are ready for the match.  Just think, before this broadcast ends we should have every singles belt decided.  We have made a deal with our distributor that if we run long we will not cut away.  The match will be shown in it's entirety, even if that takes all night!

All night listening to you?  I need a shot of whiskey and a bullet!

Time for our participants to make their entrances!  They will enter the ringside area with the cage doors locked until all wrestlers are inside, the boxes cannot be broken until the door is locked with everyman inside.  You break a box before the bell, you walk to the back!

The lights go dim, "I Hate Pt. I" by St. Thomas bursts the crowd.  The darkman they call Griffin comes to the ring with his black half mask and black tights.  He walks to the side and waits for the others.

"Machine Gun" by Warrant starts and Tulsa West swaggers down the aisle.  The tattooed battler has black face paint smeared on his face.  He has a ripped up black shirt and black tights on as he whips his black hair around.  He stares down Griffin and laughs, leaning against the cage door.

"Violent New Breed" by Shotgun Messiah beats the entrance of Murdoch.  The big man breaks the curtains and smiles to the crowd.  His handy trash bag at his side, he sneers at Tulsa and tries to climb the cage but is talked down by Griffin.

"Boom" by the Bloodhound Gang shakes the rafters and the fans start to pop.  Xavier Stewart pierces the curtain and extends his arms letting the crowd know that XS has arrived.  The man they call XSitement in the XS struts to the ring, his red tights read XS down the side and his golden blonde hair waves in the back.  He clangs the door trying to pry it open.

"Don't Follow the Loser" by Tuff cracks the amps.  The crowd strains to see Jack 13 but he is nowhere to be found.  The music starts again, still nothing.  The cameras catch something moving in the rafters.  Jack is being lowered down onto the top of the cage on a folding chair.  He sits atop the cage with his leg crossed.

Skyview goes on, the lights go out, "My My" by 7 Mary 3 blares.  The crowd awaits Daytona.  Coming to the ring, Daytona is cut.  He taunts the fans with a swagger and a smile.  He climbs up the cage quickly and reaches for one of the boxes but is pulled down by Griffin.  He and Griffin exchange words.

"Back in Business Again" by the Four Horsemen lets the crowd know that the Independent Icon is making his ring appearance.  Jackson starts out to the ring wearing his favorite "Drummond Brother's" t-shirt and ragged jeans.  He doesn't listen to the crowd, he is intent on the ring.

"Livewire" by Fozzy starts the crowd to rise.  Talon pierces the curtain.  The crowd pops the well built ex-football star.  He is ready for a fight and looks to the ring.  Jackson takes a swing but is stopped by Tulsa and dragged back kicking.

"Jack the Bastard" announces the entrance of Dash Dane.  Dash flips the curtains open.  Puts his fingers through his long black hair and smirks.  He stands and nods and lets the crowd roar.  The cage door opens and the wrestlers pile in, the only absent wrestler is Jack 13 who still sits atop the cage.

What is he doing now?  He's holding up the match!  That whacko is screwing up everything!

Maybe he's a little less crazy than you give him credit.  He's making these guys wait getting them out of their game.  Maybe he's biding his time until one of these wrestler's are tired of his waiting and breaks open a box disqualifying himself!

Or he's insane, and he's still insane and sitting on top of the cage is his way of telling the world that he is insane!

Look at him, smiling waving to the crowd.  Look he's even waving to the wrestler's underneath him, how nice!  Now that's not the face of someone insane!

Isn't that what they said about Ted Bundy?  Looks like Griffin has had enough he's climbing the wall to get Jack down one way or another.

Nothing good can come of this, especially for Griffin!

Griffin gets to the top of the cage and tries to explain to Jack what is going on, Jack smiles and nods his head like he is listening intently.  Griffin motions to him to make his way down  to the edge and get into the match.  Jack looks like he considers it.  Jack stands up, raises his chair and smacks it on Griffin's back.  Griffin goes down.  Jack smacks him a couple of more times until Dash and Xavier can get to the top.  Jack gives them a wave and crawls down the edge and swings into the ring.  Finally, Xavier and Dash get Griffin up and under his own power they all three get inside the cage.  The referee closes the door and the match officially begins.

Daytona immediately lunges for the box closest to him over the far right turnbuckle.  Dane catches him with a swift kick to the throat.  Griffin goes after Jack 13, but Jack counters and sends him head first into the cage.  Jack then takes his spot on top of one of the turnbuckles and sits, elbow to knee.  Xavier Stewart and Dash Dane are double teaming Daytona, while Murdoch has his hands full with Tulsa West and Jackson Rust.  Talon joins Murdoch with a reverse suplex to Jackson.  The two square off with punches.  A roundhouse floors Jackson, followed by a falling fistdrop.  Talon jumps to the top rope to grab a box, but Jackson knocks his legs out from under him and he falls across the top rope. 

Murdoch lifts Tulsa up with a press slam.  Tulsa grabs at a box but isn't high enough and gets dropped to the canvas. 

Griffin again goes after Jack 13 perched on his turnbuckle, but Jack thwarts the attack by jumping over his attacker and rolling him up.  1,2, No!  Xavier Stewart breaks up the pinfall.  He and Griffin lift up Jack and ram his forehead into the cage.  Once, twice, three times flesh meets the steel until Tulsa West comes from behind with a low blow to Xavier. 

Dash Dane lifts up Daytona in a pump handle suplex.  He follows it with a spinning leg lock.  Daytona grabs for the ropes, but the hold is broken by Murdoch falling over backwards onto Dash.  Tulsa throws Xavier into the cage then whips him over his shoulder in a pinning German suplex.  1, 2, No!  Broken up by Griffin.  Jack 13 again sits on top of the turnbuckle, waving and smiling. 

Murdoch and Dash Dane are now double teaming Daytona.  Jackson Rust jumps into the fray with a low blow to Dash.  Murdock picks up Daytona and presses him into the top of the cage.  Daytona reaches out and grabs the top of the cage and hangs.  He kicks Murdoch and starts to climb to one of the middle boxes.  He grabs onto a box and begins to pull.  Jackson piledrives Dash and see's Daytona hanging from the box.  He runs and pulls on Daytona's legs.  Jack from nowhere leaps off the turnbuckle and spears Daytona.  The box comes crashing down onto Daytona's chest.

Daytona's gotten the first box.  He's could be the new Hardcore Champion!  He could be the new TV Champion, he could get to walk up the ladder.

Look at that all the action has stopped, waiting to see what Daytona has gotten in his box.  Daytona reaches inside.  He pulls out, huh?  Oh it's a barbed wire baseball bat.  Daytona has found one of the weapons!  Look at Jackson Rust, as all the commotion was Daytona getting his box's contents, he's up a turnbuckle pulling the box on the far left.  He's almost got it down but Xavier is there to grab his legs, the action starts again.

Daytona surveys the first person to get the brunt of his new weapon.  Xavier is pulling Jackson.  Jackson jumps off the turnbuckle with a Thez press onto Xavier.  The referee counts 1,2,3!  Jackson has the first pinfall!

Jackson has pinned Xavier, he gets to choose a box!  Daytona uses this to crack the bat across the head of Griffin!  Jackson climbs up the turnbuckle grabs the box, cracks it open.

He's got it!  The first invitation!  He's going up to the second cage!  Jackson is going for the world title!

The ladder lowers down the open trap door in the second cage, Jackson makes the climb up to the top cage.  Daytona bloodies Griffin with another crack of the bat.  Murdoch puts an end to the beating with a giant headbutt.  The bat goes rolling off to the side.  Murdoch pulls Daytona up by his neck and drops him with a powerbomb.  1,2, No!  Daytona kicks out.  Talon and Jack 13 are fighting.  Talon punches Jack into the far right corner.  Into the corner the crowd counts to 10 as Talon puts the fists to Jack's temple.  The blood drips down over Jacks clean white shirt.  Jack falls to the bottom of the corner.  Talon runs and dropkicks Jack in the jaw.  Jack slumps to the side.  Talon uses Jack to climb up to the next box.  He grabs at the box, but Jack gets up and powerbombs Talon into the mat. 

Murdoch is holding Dash up in the middle of the ring to grab the second box hooked to the top.  They are actually working together until Tulsa ends it with a barbed wire baseball bat to the chest of Murdoch.  Dash falls flat on his face, Daytona goes for the cover.  1, No!  Dash kicks out.  Tulsa and Murdoch square off.  Tulsa swings and misses, but on the backswing he cracks the bat onto Murdoch's skull.  Blood spurts down Murdoch's chin as he falls through the ropes to the cage.  Dash runs and spin kicks Tulsa.  Daytona is caught by Griffin in a frankenstiener. 

Xavier and Talon are teaming against Jack.  They send him into the ropes and double powerbomb him into the mat.  Xavier picks him up in the fisherman's suplex and the drops him straight down on his neck in his version of the lifting powerplex.  Xavier goes for the cover but is interrupted by Daytona.  Talon grabs Daytona's wrist and whips him into the ropes.  Hawkeye Clothesline!  Talon is going for the pin.  1,2,3!   But Jack is running up the turnbuckle, he grabs a box also!

Talon gets the pin!  Talon gets to choose a box!

But while everyone was distracted Jack 13 also got a box.  He is perched on his place on the turnbuckle, looking into his box like a box of Cracker Jacks.  Get it Cracker Jacks!

Yes, it just wasn't funny.  Talon is trying to crack his box open.  Dash grabs it from him.  Dash looks like he's going to throw it down, holy @$##!  He's cracked it open on Tulsa's skull.  Damn!  Out of the box rolls out two folding chairs.  It's another weapon box.

That's too bad, cause if you haven't noticed Jack 13 is holding the Hardcore Belt in the air!  We have a new Hardcore Champion.  Jack 13!

The New Hardcore Champion!................Jack 13!

Dammit!  Well at least he has to leave, now were down to the nearest boxes.  One has the invitation and one has the TV belt.

Jack 13 has captured the first gold in the Big Sky.  Jack 13 Hardcore Champion!

Hope they allow him to keep his belt in the Looney bin!

Ohh I'm sure there are exceptions, I mean he doesn't live in a looney bin!

Ya, and you don't drive a 1976 Pinto!

Griffin has taken no time to grab a chair.  He bends it immediately on the cranium of Daytona.  Talon, still a bit disappointed,  throws the chair at one of the boxes.  It falls down to the ground, Dash Dane grabs it and swings for the box as well.  Tulsa West dropkicks him in the back into the turnbuckle.  Murdoch puts a stop to it with a swing of the barbed wire bat.  Tulsa falls to the ground.  Murdoch picks up Dash and pulls him towards the box. 

Griffin is still taking care of Daytona.  Talon jumps for the left box climbing up the turnbuckle Xavier grabs his left leg.  Talon kicks down at Xavier and is caught in a dragon screw leg whip.  Tulsa grabs the bat and hits Murdoch in the back.  The big man falls with Dash still hanging on to the bottom of the box, but not for long.  With a swift swing, Tulsa finds his mark in the midsection of Dash.  Cuts open on Dash, running down the front of his tights.  Tulsa takes a swing at both Murdoch and Dash defenseless in the corner.  Dash grabs the chair though the ropes and uses it as a shield long enough for Griffin to come from behind with a chair to Tulsa.  Dash and Griffin doe their own version of the Conchairto on Tulsa.  Tulsa falls to the ground where Murdoch steps on his throat.

Talon and Xavier have been working against each other in the other corner.  Daytona slips behind them and up into the top of the cage grabbing for one of the two remaining boxes.  Xavier motions to Talon what is going on.  Xavier and Talon each grab a leg of Daytona.  Daytona makes one valient effort for the box but is carried off an powerbombed into the middle of the ring.  Talon goes for the cover.  1,2, No!  Xavier grabs the neck of Talon in a sleeper hold.  Then he flips over.  "XSitement Personified"  Talon reaches, grabs onto Daytona, finally slaps the mat as his air is being cut from him.

Xavier gets to choose his box!  All the combatants are standing back, looking to see which one he chooses.  Xavier looks at the one that he and Talon had been fighting over, climbs the turnbuckle, stops.  What is stopping him?  He runs to the other one and grabs the chair on the mat swings and decimates the box.  An invitation!  Xavier is going up to the second cage!

But he's tired, this is an extreme advantage for Jackson.  It think he's actually been sleeping up there!

What you didn't count is Xavier's heart, the ladder comes down and Xavier starts up the ladder.

Oh too bad, he is met by the boots of Jackson.  Jackson kicks at the ascending Xavier.

Dammit, get him back.  Xavier falls to the mat from the top of the cage.  Referee get him back!

Xavier takes a step towards the ladder.  Jackson it still at the top looking down and sneering.  Xaveir runs and pushes the bottom of the ladder back.  The top comes crashing down on the head of Jackson.  Jackson stumbles back.

That was classic, do it yourself I always say!

Especially when it involves women.

What?  Well Xavier has made his way up to the top.  The World Title match has started, and the only box left on the bottom is the TV Championship.  Xavier and Jackson Rust on the top, and Griffin, Dash, Murdoch, Daytona, Talon, and Tulsa West in the bottom cage.

Don't forget, Jack 13 is already the Hardcore Champion!

I'm trying!

Xavier and Jackson size each other up, they tie up with Jackson grabbing Xavier's arm and tossing him to the cage floor.  Both cages are shaking with action.  Xavier runs at Jackson but is met with a knee to the midsection.  Jackson jumps on his opportunity.  Grabbing an arm he twists, then jumps down with a leg drop to the arm.  Jackson picks up Xavier and piledrives him into the cage floor.  The cage floor bends down with the weight of the wrestlers.  Jackson goes for the gold immediately climbing up to the top and hanging on the top of the cage he swings his way out to the boxes.  Xavier grabs the ladder and sets it up, he climbs up and while Jackson hangs on the top of the cage reaching for the box, Xavier comes off the ladder with a spear to Jackson.  Both men fall to the bottom of the cage with the ladder falling down on top of them.

In the bottom cage, Daytona and Tulsa are teaming against Murdoch and Dash Dane.  Griffin lies on the side of the cage beaten by Daytona with the bat.  Murdoch and Dash grab for both men whipping them into the corner over each other.  Murdoch runs in with a hard splash.  Dash up on the top turnbuckle comes down on Tulsa with the Money Shot.  1,2, No!  Daytona breaks the count.  Griffin gets into the act with a 360 plex onto Daytona, 1,2, No!  Talon stops the pinfall.  Murdoch puts Griffin down with a double arm DDT.  Daytona kicks Murdoch in the midsection.  Dane has found a chair and lays it down on the mat.  He puts Tulsa in a pedigree and slams his face into the chair.  He covers Tulsa.  1, 2, No!  Daytona bulldogs Murdoch into the cover breaking the count.  Dash yells at Murdoch.  Murdoch looks like a lost puppy, until Daytona pastes Murdoch with a flying lariat.  Daytona jumps to the top rope, flies, hits a frog splash onto Murdoch.  The count is broken by a kick from Griffin.  Tulsa has found the barbed wire baseball bat and uses it as a battering ram onto the unsuspecting Dane.  Tulsa picks up Dane, lifts him over the ropes slingshot's back onto the mat.  Tulsa Time!  He jumps for the cover, 1, 2, No!  Talon just barely breaks the count. 

The action on top has come around again.  Xavier this time has the advantage and spin kicks Jackson off his feet.  Xavier runs off the bottom rope and moonsaults down onto the fallen Jackson.  1,2, No!  Jackson kicks out.  Xavier is on a roll.  He runs and slide kicks Jackson down.  Xavier goes to the top and swings out over the cage.  He is furiously going from arm to arm up the cage roof.  Jackson comes to and grabs at Xavier's legs.  Xavier kicks him off then gives him a swift kick to the jaw.  Jackson fall to the mat, Xavier swings his legs back, grabs his legs onto the box facing the floor.  He lets go and drops down splashing Jackson.  1, 2, 3!

Xavier gets the pinfall!  He gets to choose a box!  He very well could be the new champion!  Xavier carefully grabs at the box closest to us.  Takes the box down off the ladder.  Referee hold Jackson back!  This is Xavier's crowning moment!  Xavier carefully takes the side off the box!

There you go!  Xavier pulls out nothing more than a chair, wrapped in barbed wire!  Jackson can still be the champion!

Dammit!  Xavier has to do this all over again, it is going to be tough beating Jackson twice in a row!

I would have to say impossible, holy @#$#!  Especially if Jackson keeps this up.  Jackson rust just dropkicked the bat into Xavier.  You have to pay attention here!  No time to weep about your misfortune!

Jackson has a wild hair, he is jumping up and down on the chair on Xavier's midsection.  Jackson comes down of the ropes with a leg drop onto the chair.  Wire stick into Jackson's jeans.  Jackson climbs the ladder, jumps from the top but is met with the chair as Xavier raises it up.  Jackson wavers back and falls flat on his face.  Both men are dazed.

On the bottom cage Talon and Dash are working together against Tulsa.  Griffin and Murdoch have made an alliance against Daytona.  Dash grabs Tulsa pulls him back into a fisherman's suplex.  Talon breaks the hold.  Dash give him a glare.  Murdoch presses Daytona in the air, and Griffin comes off the top rope with a swinging neckbreaker.  Griffin takes the cover but it stopped by Murdoch. 

At the same time on the top the two men are taking big shot after big shot knowing that in the last box is the World Title.  Xavier runs at Jackson but is caught with a hot shot.  The top of Xavier's head scrapes the cage.  Xavier holds his throat.  Jackson grabs the chair and gives him a whack.  Jackson climbs the cage, then hangs from the top with one arm.  Falling he places the chair under his leg and hits Xavier on the side of the head.  Xavier is a bloody mess.  Jackson takes the opportunity to climb, but Xavier isn't done, and puts a shot across his back with the barbed wire chair.

Murdoch and Dane have Tulsa set up in a 3-D off the top rope.  Darken your Day!  Tulsa in the middle of the ring.  Dane takes the pinfall, 1, 2, No!  Talon breaks the hold.  Daytona grabs Talon from behind and hits his finisher, the Tornado DDT!

Up on top Xavier slams Jackson down, but it hit with the swinging chair.  Jackson pick up Xavier into a suplex.

Jackson comes down in a brainbuster! Daytona pounces on Talon!

Oh my god the top of the cage has broken.  Xavier went right through the cage.  Jackson is hanging on over the edge with one arm.  Xavier landed on top of Daytona and Talon!  Murdoch see's the opportunity, he swings the bat onto Tulsa and grabs his trash bag.  He wraps up Griffin's neck in the bag and hangs him over his shoulder!  Trash bag neckbreaker!  Dane grabs a chair and runs to the corner.  He breaks open the box!  Dane grabs the falling belt and falls to the mat!

The New TV Champion.......Dash Dane!

With a little help from Murdoch!  Jackson is trying to pull himself up into the top cage.  Xavier raises up he sees what is happening, he's going to lose!

Xavier grabs onto Jackson's leg.  Jackson is still holding on by one arm.  He kicks the weakened Xavier off!  He's in the top cage by himself!  The referee is trying to lower the ladder down.  Dammit Jackson grabs the ladder from the referee.  He puts the ladder in the air.  Xavier is trying to climb up the section of roof that fell down.  Jackson grabs the box, breaks open the side!

Jackson Rust has done it!  He's the new World Champion!  Look at him on top of the ladder wearing the gold!  After all these years he's done it!

And The New Big Sky World Champion "Copperhead" Jackson Rust!

I'll give the man his due, he's the champion, he pulled it off!  But now every man in the league will be gunning for him!  This is the most coveted prize in the Big Sky, he'd better remember where he's come from, he's the World Champion!

He's done it, the pinnacle of success!  He's the original World Champion and nothing will take that away!  Not you, not the President Nothing!

We have all of our singles champions now!  Jack 13 with the Hardcore Belt, Dash Dane is the TV Champion, and of course Jackson Rust if the first ever Big Sky World Champion!  Time's up, I know we went over but this was great.  History making!  See you on the next Deviation!  The night of Champions is finally over!  I'm bushed!  For Johnny Saturday I'm Fred Brown Good Night!
