"CALLING" BY TAPROOT HITS AND THE FIREWORKS GO OFF TO START THE SHOW AND THE CROWD GOES WILD FOR BADLANDZ' FIRST PAY-PER-VIEW EVENT OF THE YEAR!
Mike Tenay: Ladies and gentlemen, what a night this is going to be! We've got a card that is stacked with great matches, and a card that will give us the most important thing in wrestling... The first ever Badlandz World Champion!
Brooklyn Brawler: Tenay, I am as psyched as ever for this show, tonight! We've got Kane versus Chuck Palumbo for the World Title, The Dudley Boyz versus Scott Steiner and The Outlaw for the World Tag Team Titles, and don't forget about Booker T taking on a mystery opponent!
"IT'S PRIMETIME, BABY!" HITS AND "PRIMETIME" ELIX SKIPPER COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION FROM THE LOS ANGELES CROWD.
Mike Tenay: Brawler, here we go with our first match of the night, and it's between two former partners who have been at each other's throats as of late.
Brooklyn Brawler: I wouldn't say Low-Ki is at Skipper's throat at all, I'd say that it's Skipper who is angry at Low-Ki because, well, Skipper just can't beat him!
Mike Tenay: So far that's been true, but who knows Brawler, maybe his luck will change tonight.
LOW-KI'S MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A GREAT RESPONSE FROM THE CROWD.
Mike Tenay: He's a fan favorite, but definitely not a favorite to face in the ring.
Brooklyn Brawler: Tenay, his kicks hurt me just watching them.
The match starts off with Primetime getting into Ki's face and talking trash but Low-Ki is uneffected by it. Primetime pushes Ki and tells him to come at him, but gets a Roundhouse Kick to the side of the head! This is at least the 3rd time Primetime has suffered that, but there are no pinfalls so instead Low-Ki drops down and locks him in a Dragon Clutch! Primetime is in it for nearly a minute, but finds great strength to lift up Ki while still being held in the submission, and throwing him over his head with a Capture Suplex! Skipper shakes off the pain from the hold, and then puts the boots to Ki. Skipper then shocks the crowd when he does a beautiful Lionsault but instead of landing on his stomach, he lands knees first across Ki's chest! Skipper goes for the cover, but the referee reminds him its a Submission match. Skipper gets up and takes a step back, before he takes a page out of Low-Ki's book and runs at Ki and kicks him right in the chest. Skipper is in complete control for the next 5 minutes with kicks and knees to dominate Ki, but Low-Ki catches Skipper with a Spin Kick to the face and the tide is turned. Low-Ki tears Skipper apart with two kicks to the chest before slapping the mat and knocking Skipper to the mat with a kick to the face, followed by a beautiful Standing Moonsault. Ki hits Skipper with a Flipping Leg Drop and then locks him in an Arm Bar as the referee goes down to check on Skipper. Low-Ki holds it in for a good 10 seconds, but Skipper is able to roll over and get two UFC-like elbows to the face before showing his great athleticism by reversing it with a Senton across Low-Ki's chest. The two men trade grapples for about a minute before Skipper gets Low-Ki in a Headlock, only to get a kick to the nose that showed incredible flexibility by Low-Ki. Ki then runs off the ropes and goes for a Hurricanrana, but when he comes down he holds onto Skipper's neck and arm getting him in a very unique submission hold. Skipper is caught in the hold for nearly three minutes with the referee even having to check if he's passed out. Finally Low-Ki lets up and climbs to the top rope. Ki comes off the top rope with the Warriors Way, but Skipper moves out of the way as he scouted his former partner very well. Skipper immediately capatilizes and spikes him with a move similar to Finlay's Celtic Cross, called the Sudden Death! Skipper follows up with a Headstand Corkscrew Leg Drop and then climbing up to the top rope. Skipper waits for Low-Ki to get up and then puts him back down with a Missile Dropkick! Skipper gets to his feet and taunts to the crowd before throwing Low-Ki over his head with a Double Underhook Suplex. Chants of "This is awesome!" run throughout the arena, as the fans show great appreciation to both men. Skipper runs off the ropes and at Low-Ki and hits him with a Fireman's Carry onto the Top Rope that he calls the Krush Rush, followed by locking Skipper in the Hanging Dragon Sleeper on the top rope! This is completely legal and Skipper squirms but almost passes out before rolling Ki onto the mat somehow. This is followed by an attempt to jump up to the top rope, but Ki catches him in an Electric Chair Drop position, and then drops him face first onto the top turnbuckle. Both men are out as the referee registers his 10 count. Low-Ki gets up around 7 and goes out to the ring apron. When Primetime gets up, he hits him with the Tidal Wave, a Springboard Enziguri. Immediately capatlizing, Low-Ki shows his extensive repetoir of submission holds by locking Skipper in a Crossface Chickenwing. Skipper struggles but gets to the ropes. Ki stays on the offensive with his warrior ways of fighting, and lifts Primetime up for the Ki Krusher, but Skipper reverses it into a beautiful Octopus Hold! Skipper holds it in for nearly 5 minutes but after over 30 minutes of fighting, Low-Ki passes out forcing the referee to end the match.
Mike Tenay: That was absolutely insane! These two men went at it for over half an hour!
Brooklyn Brawler: Tenay, I know we still have a few months left in the year... But the TWF may have just seen it's match of the year!
Mike Tenay: I take my hat off to both of these men, but Low-Ki was simply unconcious and the referee realized the match had to be ended!
WHEN LOW-KI RECOVERS, HE GETS TO HIS FEET AND HE AND SKIPPER NOD THEIR HEADS AND SHAKE HANDS BEFORE HUGGING AND RAISING EACH OTHER'S ARMS.
Mike Tenay: And what a great sign of respect by these two former partners.
Brooklyn Brawler: Mark my words, Tenay... These two guys have futures as bright as a UV light!
THE SCENE SHOWS UP BACKSTAGE WHERE TEST AND A-TRAIN ARE STANDING BY WITH MARCUS COR VON.
Marcus Cor Von: D'Lo Brown, Badlandz, and the rest of the prey in the Alpha Male's jungle... A message is about to be sent! Marcus Cor Von will take on D'Slow Brown soon, and prove to the world why The Alpha Male is the most dominant force in sports entertainment today!
Test: Now you may be wondering why we're standing next to each other, or why we're even here when we don't have a match. Well, we'll tell you. Next week on Badlandz, is the start of a revolution.
Marcus Cor Von: No, no... An alphalution.
Test: And if anyone thinks they can stop us, well, Marcus...
Marcus Cor Von: You will all be like D'Lo Brown, a road block in the Alpha Male's path to greatness. And tonight, like two times before D'Slow... You will feel the POUUUUUNCEAH... Period!
COR VON, TEST, AND A-TRAIN ALL SMIRK AND WALK AWAY FROM THE CAMERA.
"TAKE IT TO THE STREETS" HITS AND D'LO BROWN COMES OUT TO A GREAT REACTION FROM THE CROWD.
Mike Tenay: Wow, talk about having an ego!
Brooklyn Brawler: Hey, he may have an ego, Tenay, but he's also going to win this match! I mean, it won't take much to beat D'Loser.
Mike Tenay: Yeah, such a loser Brawler. A former European Champion, and the man who hit Marcus Cor Von with the Sky High last week leading to him getting the 1, 2, 3 over the so called best superstar on Badlandz, right?
"GO HARD OR GO HOME" HITS AS D'LO IS TAUNTING TO THE CROWD AND "THE ALPHA MALE" MARCUS COR VON COMES OUT TO A VERY NEGATIVE REACTION FROM THE CROWD.
Brooklyn Brawler: Here is the future Number One Contender for the Badlandz World Heavyweight Title!
Mike Tenay: That's a very good possibility, but that requires him beating D'Lo Brown tonight and then the World Champion and the World Tag Team Champions in a 6-Man Tag Team Match.
Brooklyn Brawler: And that requirement... Will be met very easily.
Cor Von wastes no time to go after D'Lo Brown as he pummels him with clubs to the back followed by a knee lift and a Double Underhook Suplex. Cor Von immediately runs off the ropes looking to end it early with a Pounce, but Brown has him scouted well and catches him with a Clothesline. Brown points to the crowd and gets them fired up, then does his signature Head Shake Leg Drop. D'Lo goes for the pin, but only gets a two count. D'Lo pulls Cor Von up, and gets in two kicks to the stomach but on the third, Cor Von catches his leg and then lifts him up and slams him to the mat with a devestating Spinebuster! Cor Von stays on the offensive and picks D'Lo up, only to put him right back down with a Fall Away Slam. Cor Von beats his chest and then lifts D'Lo up before throwing him off the ropes with an irish whip. When Brown comes back, Cor Von tosses him over head with an Exploder Suplex. Cor Von takes out more time to taunt the crowd, but this time it is time poorly spent because D'Lo catches him with a Leg Lariat when he turns around. D'Lo shows incredible athleticism for someone his size by hitting Cor Von with a Slingshot Leg Drop. D'Lo taunts to the crowd before waiting for Cor Von to get up, and then delivering a Swinging Side Slam that he calls the Sudden Impact. Brown goes into the cover, and gets the 1, 2, but Cor Von kicks out before the referee can get to 3. The crowd can't believe it and neither can D'Lo. Brown looks to the crowd. Brown lifts and smiles before climbing up to the top rope. D'Lo comes off with the Lo Down, but Cor Von rolls out of the way! Cor Von is immediately on the offensive and knees Brown in the head before lifting him up and planting him with the En-Cor! Cor Von goes into the cover and gets the 1, 2, 3!
"GO HARD OR GO HOME" HITS AGAIN AND MARCUS COR VON RAISES HIS HAND IN VICTORY AS TEST AND A-TRAIN COME OUT FROM THE BACK.
Mike Tenay: Damn! D'Lo Brown fought one heck of a match, Brawler, but he made one mistake and Cor Von was all over it.
Brooklyn Brawler: And that, Tenay, is exactly why Marcus Cor Von is The Alpha Male! You can't mess up when you're wrestling this guy, because he's so quick and he will be on the prowl as soon as there's an opening.
Mike Tenay: I give Marcus Cor Von a lot of credit tonight, Brawler, but I also applaud the hard work of D'Lo Brown.
Brooklyn Brawler: Yeah, I guess D'Lo still has a little bit left in him, but don't bank on him being Badlandz World Champion anytime soon.
Mike Tenay: Maybe so, Brawler, but right now it appears that Cor Von and T & A have something to say.
AS D'LO WALKS TO THE BACK, COR VON GRABS A MIC AS T & A LOOK AT THE TIRED BROWN WITH SICK SMILES ON THEIR FACES.
Marcus Cor Von: Now you see, The Alpha Male is the predator of the TWF, and the rest of the roster are the prey. And tonight, D'Lo Brown, you just happened to be the prey. You see, we are not in the Staples Center, we are not in the Badlandz... We are in the Serengeti! And the Serengeti is home to one man, and that man is The Alpha Male, Marcus Cor Von!
THE LOS ANGELES CROWD SHOWS COR VON EXACTLY WHAT THEY FEEL ABOUT THAT AS THEY BOO COR VON SO LOUD A DEAF MAN COULD HEAR.
Marcus Cor Von: Oh, that's how you pay your dues to the King of the Jungle?! Wow... The Alpha Male can see why you people have gotten no where in life. And that is why...
BEFORE MARCUS COR VON CAN SAY ANOTHER WORD "I AM" BY DALE OLIVER HITS AND AJ STYLES COMES OUT TO A THUNDEROUS ROAR. AJ HAS A MIC IN HIS HAND AND THE THREE MEN ARE YELLING UP TO HIM.
AJ Styles: Now, call me crazy, but I think I just heard you say that you're the king of Badlandz... Or, excuse me, "The Jungle."
Marcus Cor Von: Yes, you did. You also heard that Marcus Cor Von is starting the Alphalution of wrestling!
THE SHOT GOES BACK TO AJ STYLES WHO BURSTS OUT IN LAUGHTER.
AJ Styles: Wait, wait, wait! Did you... Did you really just say Alphalution?
AJ BEGINS TO LAUGH AGAIN ALONG WITH THE CROWD AS COR VON, TEST, AND A-TRAIN ALL LOOK FURIOUS.
AJ Styles: Alright, alright, alright... I'm sorry. But um, this whole little you're the best, it really doesn't work for me. See... Just two weeks ago, I pinned your shoulders to the mat. No, no, I pinned your shoulders to the mat in 1 and a half minutes! If you're really the Alpha Male, why can't you beat The Phenomenal One?
Marcus Cor Von: Can't beat you? You think The Alpha Male can't beat you?! Alright... Then why don't you take your little boys carcas down to this ring and we can test that theory!
AJ Styles: Alright... We will.
AJ RUNS DOWN THE RAMP AND THEN HOPS UP ONTO THE RING APRON. AJ SHOWS HIS INCREDIBLE ATHLETICISM BY TAKING OUT THE MUCH BIGGER TEST WITH A SPRINGBOARD FOREARM SMASH. AJ TOSSES COR VON OUT OF THE RING WITH A BEAUTIFUL KIP UP HURRICANRANA BEFORE A-TRAIN GOES AFTER HIM WITH A BICYCLE KICK. AJ IS ABLE TO DUCK IT AND THEN CATCH A-TRAIN WITH A BEAUTIFUL PELE KICK! AJ JUMPS UP TO HIS FEET AND THEN DOES A BACK FLIP OFF OF THE MIDDLE RING ROPE INTO A BEAUTIFUL REVERSE DDT ON A-TRAIN! COR VON, TEST, AND A-TRAIN COME BACK TOGETHER ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING AND WALK UP THE RAMP FURIOUS AS AJ HAS NOW GRABBED A MIC.
AJ Styles: Hey! Yeah, you three and I may be done tonight... But on Badlandz, I don't care about your little revolution, ya'll got me on your hands now! The Phenomenal A... J... Styles!
"I AM" HITS AGAIN AND AJ CALLS THE THREE MEN, ALL BIGGER THAN HE IS, BACK INTO THE RING BUT THEY JUST BACK UP THE RAMP AND NOD THEIR HEAD.
THE SHOT GOES BACKSTAGE WHERE NUNZIO, CHUCK PALUMBO, JOHNNY STAMBOLI, AND BIG VITO ARE STANDING BY IN THE LOCKER ROOM.
Nunzio: Boys, tonight is our night. We got this match against America's Most Wanted in the bag, and then, we got Chucky here fightin' for the Badlandz World Title. But the truth is, this ain't no fight, boys... This is gonna be a slaughtering.
THE FOUR MEMBERS OF THE FBI LAUGH AND THE SCENE GOES TO RON KILLINGS AND MARK JINDRAK WHO ARE AT THE BUFFET.
Ron Killings: Listen dawg, I ain't tryin'a say that you ain't been doin' good, but you too damn cocky.
Mark Jindrak: You know what, enough of that crap! Even when I win you're on my ass!
Ron Killings: That's 'cause winnin' yo' matches ain't the only damn thang! You can beat down on all dem injured people as you want... But that ain't gon'a get you nowhere!
Mark Jindrak: Yeah? Maybe this will.
SUDDENLY CHUCK PALUMBO SLAMS RON KILLINGS FACE FIRST INTO THE BRICK WALL. PALUMBO AND JINDRAK STAND OVER KILLINGS WHO IS BUSTED OPEN ON TOP OF HIS EYE.
Mark Jindrak: You know what I need? To get the hell away from you! Because you know what you're doing for me? Holding me back! I am the Reflection of Perfection! And I'm gonna prove that from now on.
Chuck Palumbo: And Ronny... He's part of the FBI now, so find another superstar to give crappy advice to.
PALUMBO AND JINDRAK LAUGH AND WALK OUT OF THE SCENE AS KILLINGS IS STILL HOLDING HIS HEAD IN PAIN.
AMW'S MUSIC HITS AND THE DUO COMES OUT TO A GREAT OVATION BY THE LOS ANGELES CROWD. BOTH MEN ARE WEARING ARM BANDS THAT READ "B.A." IN HONOR OF THE LATE BRIAN ADAMS.
Mike Tenay: What a great ovation for America's Most Wanted, Brawler, and what great respect being shown as these two are honoring one of the Tag Team pioneers, Brian Adams.
Brooklyn Brawler: I may not like these guys, Tenay, but I respect what they're doing. Brian Adams was one of the greatest tag team wrestlers of all-time, and a great person on top of that.
FBI'S MUSIC HITS AND BIG VITO AND JOHNNY STAMBOLI COME OUT TO AN INCREDIBLE BOO. NUNZIO IS WALKING BEHIND THEM YELLING TO THE CROWD.
Brooklyn Brawler: But, Tenay, as great as what they're doing is, it won't matter against the FBI!
Mike Tenay: Yeah, how do you figure, Brawler?
Brooklyn Brawler: Because they have no chance in winning, that's how!
James Storm and Big Vito start off the match by circling the ring before locking up, leading to Vito getting the advantage with a Headlock only to be Back Suplexed over Storm's head. Vito grabs his back but gets to his feet, but Storm is all over him with right hands followed by an Irish Whip leading to a Jumping Knee to the Head. Cowboy taunts the crowd and gets a big pop from the Los Angeles faithful, and then lifts Vito up onto his shoulders in a Crucifix position. Storm spins around and then lets go of Vito, letting him fall to the mat, a move that Storm calls the Eye of the Storm. Storm tags in Harris and the two long-time partners throw Vito over head with a Double Suplex. Harris gets up, and gets crushed by Johnny Stamboli who came out of nowhere for a Spear! When The Bull gets up, Storm catches him with a Clothesline, taking both of them over the top rope. While the referee isn't looking, Nunzio begins to put the boots to Storm on the outside of the ring and Stamboli then joins him. In the ring, Vito gets to his feet first and puts Harris back down to the mat once he gets up with a Mafia Kick. Vito drops a few knees and elbows across Harris' chest and face before lifting him up and signaling for the end. Harris is able to reverse the Code of Silence into his signature Catatonic! On the outside, Storm finally fights off the two Italians with a Super Kick to Stamboli and an incredible 8 Second Ride on the outside of the ring to Nunzio! Storm rolled back into the ring and AMW both pointed up to the sky and beated their chest. Harris climbs up to the top rope and it looks like the Death Sentance is going to happen, but instead Storm drops Vito across his knee with a Backbreaker, followed by Harris hitting an Elbow Drop across Vito's chest, taking a page out of the late great Brian Adams' old tag team days. Harris goes into the cover as the crowd chants "Rest In Peace!" as the referee registers the three count.
Mike Tenay: Wow! What a win for America's Most Wanted, and what a way to honor the late Brian Adams, Brawler.
Brooklyn Brawler: I'm in shock, Tenay! But at the same time... As upset as I am to see the FBI lose, I am extremely proud to say I saw these two men honor Brian Adams and his Demolition days like that.
AMW'S MUSIC HITS AGAIN AND HARRIS AND STORM GET THEIR ARMS RAISED. BOTH MEN POINT UP TO THE SKY AND YELL "THAT WAS FOR BRIAN!"
THE SCENE SHIFTS BACKSTAGE WHERE ERIC BISCHOFF IS TALKING WITH THE OWNER OF THE TWF, VINCE MCMAHON.
Vince McMahon: You know, Eric, I'm starting to realize naming you as General Manager of Badlandz was actually a good idea... No matter how much of a pile of steaming crap I think you amount to. These fans like it, and more importantly, I like it. But just so you know, if the quality drops... I drop you.
Eric Bischoff: Well, Vince...
Vince McMahon: It's Mister McMahon to you, Eric.
Eric Bischoff: Yeah... Mr. McMahon. I think that this just shows that I am the genious you need around the TWF.
Vince McMahon: I wouldn't take it that far, but, you may be onto something. As a matter of fact, I have a meeting on my schedule that I can't make and I may need you to attend next week.
Eric Bischoff: Me? Why of course Vince, I mean... Mister McMahon.
THE TWO MEN LAUGH AS BISCHOFF WALKS OUT OF THE SCENE.
Vince McMahon: What a waste of life...
THE CROWD REACTS IN A MIX OF LAUGHS AND BOOS AS THE SCENE GOES BACK TO RINGSIDE. WHEN THE SCENE RETURNS TO RINGSIDE "CAN YOU DIG IT, SUCKA?!" HITS AND BOOKER T COMES OUT TO A JOINT BOO BY THE CROWD.
Mike Tenay: Well it looks like our General Manager will have a busy week next week. But right now we're going to be busy because we've got Booker T here tonight, and he's facing a mystery opponent.
Brooklyn Brawler: Which is completely unfair, Tenay! Booker T has no idea who he's facing, and you know what? I bet you if it was one of the oh-so-great fan favorites, you'd all be calling it a tragedy!
Mike Tenay: If it was one of the fan favorites, Brawler, they'd probably be the fighting superstars they are and face any challengers put in front of them!
A FAMILIAR TUNE IS HEARD AS THE CROWD COMES TO THEIR FEET. THE TUNE IS RECOGNIZED AS THE HART FOUNDATION'S MUSIC AND JIM "THE ANVIL" NEIDHART COMES OUT TO A THUNDEROUS OVATION! BOOKER T IS IN SHOCK AS HIS JAW DROPS AND NEIDHART POINTS TO BOOKER BEFORE GETTING INTO THE RING AND GETTING RIGHT INTO BOOKER'S FACE.
Mike Tenay: Wow! It's Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, Brawler! And now that I think about it, that guy in the mask had to have been Neidhart too!
Brooklyn Brawler: I don't believe this... Neidhart is a legend in this business, Tenay, and he's here tonight at Badlandz first ever Pay-Per-View!
Mike Tenay: Well Booker T can certainly prove something by beating The Anvil, but I don't know how likely that is!
Booker is still in shock as the bell rings, but he is rocked by a couple of right hands by Neidhart who then Irish Whips Booker and hits him with a Shoulder Block when he gets back. The crowd is still just as into it as they were when Neidhart first came out, as Neidhart picks Booker up and Irish Whips him again, this time planting him with a Scoop Powerslam! Neidhart goes for the cover, but Booker is able to get his shoulder up at 2. Booker tries to fight back with punches to the stomach and Knife Edge Chops to the chest, but Anvil just shrugs them off and yells at Booker to hit him harder. Booker takes a step back and then hits Neidhart with a Harlem Sidekick, this time knocking him down. Booker gets on top of Neidhart and begins unloading right hands, seeming desperate to get offense in. Booker then got up and did his signature Knee Drop across Neidhart's face. Booker waits for Neidhart to get up and stalks him like an animal with their prey, before kicking him in the stomach and going for the Scissors Kick, but Neidhart is able to move out of the way. Neidhart hits Booker with a Knee Lift followed by his signature club to the back that he calls the Hammer Shot. The crowd is going wild as Neidhart has worked back into the match. Booker is able to crawl to the corner, but when he gets up, he's crushed by a Body Avalanche by the near 300 pound Neidhart. Anvil is feeling it and lifts Booker up onto his shoulder before running halfway across the ring and then planting Booker into the mat with a Front Powerslam. Neidhart goes into the cover, but is only able to get two again. Neidhart signals for the end of the match and waits for Booker to get up. When Neidhart goes to grab Booker for the Anvil Flattener Sambo Suplex, Booker ducks under Neidhart's arm and beautifully counters it into a Bookend! Booker goes into the cover and hooks Neidhart's outside leg as the crowd is in shock, and the referee goes down for the one, two, thr... No! Neidhart somehow kicked out and Booker T's eyes are almost popping out of his head. Booker gets into the referees face and screams at him before shaking his head and signaling to the back. Bull Buchanon begins walking down the ramp, but before he can get anywhere Chris Jericho spins him around and begins clocking him with right hands. The two eventually fight back up the ramp as Booker is almost in tears at his plan being foiled. Booker goes back to telling the referee it's all his fault, but then gets locked in the Anvilizer Clutch, Neidhart's form of the Cobra Clutch! Booker is squirming and he jumping up to try and counter the hold. Booker jumps up, and extends his leg, kicking the referee square in the face, knocking him to the ground. The referee is not hurt, but Booker capitalizes on his not being able to look at the action for a second by lifting his leg up, and then swinging it backwards and hitting Anvil right in between his legs! Anvil drops to a one knee crouch, and Booker crushes him with his signature Scissor Kick! He goes into the cover and gets the one, two, three!
"CAN YOU DIG IT, SUCKA?!" HITS AGAIN AND BOOKER T THROWS HIS HANDS UP IN THE AIR AND LETS OUT A HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF AS THE REFEREE RAISES HIS ARM IN VICTORY.
Brooklyn Brawler: Haha! I knew Booker could do it! I knew it!
Mike Tenay: Knew it? You were just complaining about how unfair it was!
Brooklyn Brawler: Because it is unfair, Tenay! But, that doesn't mean that for one second I doubted Booker T!
Mike Tenay: Right Brawler, right. Either way, Booker T cheated to win, which isn't very surprising.
Brooklyn Brawler: Shut it Tenay, Booker's got a mic!
BOOKER T GRABS A MIC AND THE FANS BEGIN A "YOU SUCK!" CHANT TOWARDS HIM.
Booker T: Whoa, whoa, whoa... Tell me ya'll did not just say that?
BOOKER GETS MORE BOO'S MIXED IN WITH SOME SURPRISING CHEERS FROM THE LOS ANGELES CROWD.
Booker T: How are ya'll gon' tell me I suck? I just beat Jim "Anvil" Neidhart... A true sucka. But ya'll refer to him as a legend, ya'll refer to him as a pioneer... Ya'll can now refer to him as Booker's bitch!
THE CROWD BOO'S TREMENDOUSLY AS BOOKER SEEMS UNEFFECTED.
Booker T: And ya'll know what? That don't go for only Jim Neidhart, that goes for the whole roster! And if you got a problem, save the drama for ya momma, 'cause I ain't dig that... SUCKAAA!
"CAN YOU DIG IT, SUCKA?!" HITS ONCE AGAIN AND THIS TIME BOOKER DROPS THE MIC AND WALKS TO THE BACK DRAWING A LOT OF HEAT AS JIM ANVIL IS BEING HELPED TO HIS FEET BY THE REFEREE.
A VIDEO IS SHOWN FROM BADLANDZ IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA WHERE VAL VENIS AND BIG SHOW HAVE A CONFRONTATION, FOLLOWED BY THE NEXT WEEK IN OGDEN, UTAH WHERE VENIS AND BIG SHOW TRADE WORDS ONCE AGAIN. THEN VENIS' INTERVIEW WITH TODD GRISHAM ABOUT BIG SHOW IS SHOWN, ENDING WITH VENIS HITTING BIG SHOW WITH A REVERSE DDT ON THE STEEL ON TOP OF THE RAMP ON BADLANDZ LAST WEEK IN SAN FRANCISCO.
BIG SHOW'S MUSIC HITS AND THE CROWD COMES TO THEIR FEET IN BOO'S AS THE 7 FOOT 500 POUND MONSTER COMES OUT.
Mike Tenay: And the rivalry between these two has been very heated to say the very least, Brawler.
Brooklyn Brawler: No doubt about that, Tenay. But, if you ask me... I'm not too sure I want to get Big Show heated.
Mike Tenay: Well I can't argue with you on that, but maybe this man can!
"HELLO LADIES!" HITS AND VAL VENIS COMES OUT TO A FANTASTIC REACTION FROM THE LOS ANGELES CROWD.
Brooklyn Brawler: Well he may have spent his time in a few women's beds, but no sexual experience is like facing Big Show.
Mike Tenay: I don't think I quite follow you, Brawler...
Brooklyn Brawler: Oh... No! Not like that, Tenay! God, perverts these days...
Venis stares at Big Show and then takes a deep breath before circling the ring and going after Big Show with a lockup. The two stay locked up for about two seconds, before Big Show shows his inredible strength and pushes him halfway across the ring. Venis holds his head but shakes it off and goes right back in for a lockup, but gets tossed across the ring, this time into the turnbuckle. Show then hits Venis with an Open Hand Slap across his chest as the entire arena can hear that one. Show lifts Venis up onto his shoulders and begins an Airplane Spin, followed by putting Venis down with the Final Cut! Show goes into a cocky cover with his foot on Venis's chest, but the former TWF Champion gets a shoulder up! Big Show can't believe it and looks furious. Show picks Venis up and Headbutt's Val Venis. Venis is feeling the effects, but gets to his feet. Big Show goes for a Big Boot on Venis, but he is able to duck it and hit him with a Reverse DDT to change the momentum. Venis takes a little while, but gets up to his feet a little bit before Big Show gets to his. This gives Venis enough time to hit Big Show with a Russian Leg Sweep, followed by an Elbow Drop across Show's chest. Venis waits for Show to get up, and then comes off the middle rope with a Double Axe Handle, knocking Big Show to one knee. Venis goes back to the second rope, and jumps off for another Double Axe Handle, only to be caught by Big Show via a hand around his throat. Show lifts Venis up for the Showstopper, but Venis is able to somewhow reverse it and land behind Big Show. When Show turns around, Venis kicks him in the stomach and then plants him with a DDT! The crowd is fully behind Val as he gets to his feet and then climbs up to the top rope. Venis comes off the top rope with The Money Shot, but Show gets up to his feet and catches him in mid air! Venis wiggles his way out of Show's grasp, but holds onto Show's neck. Venis is able to grab one of Show's legs, and goes for a Fisherman's Suplex. Venis can't lift Show all the way up over his neck, and ends up dropping Show directly on his head! After what was more of a Fisherman's DDT, Venis goes into the cover on the seemingly unconcious Big Show. The referee gets down and counts the one, two, three!
"HELLO LADIES!" HITS AGAIN AND THE FORMER TWF CHAMPION RAISES HIS ARM IN SHOCK THAT HE GOT THE THREE COUNT OVER THE GIANT BIG SHOW!
Mike Tenay: Wow! Big Show may be out cold, Brawler!
Brooklyn Brawler: I have no idea how in the hell this just happened, Tenay! Val Venis just messed up his finishing move, yet still won the match!
Mike Tenay: He may have messed it up, but the result was better than it probably would've been had he not messed up! In his case, at least. In Big Show's case, he could be seriously injured!
Brooklyn Brawler: Well, that's a risk you take by stepping in the ring, Tenay.
Mike Tenay: That's very true. Hopefully Big Show will be alright, but congratulations to Val Venis on one heck of a win!
VENIS CONTINUES TO CELEBRATE AS THE MEDICAL STAFF IS NOW ATTENDING TO BIG SHOW.
THE SCENE GOES BACKSTAGE WHERE THE BADLANDZ TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, THE DUDLEY BOYZ, ARE STANDING BY WITH JOSH MATTHEWS.
Bubba-Ray Dudley: Josh, you don't even need to introduce us. Tonight, we've got two guys who love to run their mouths, and we've got them in a match with our TWF Badlandz Tag Team Championships on the line. And just like we did on Badlandz against Triple X, we're going to show these two chumps exactly why we're considered legends in this business. We've mastered the art of tag team wrestling, and you two think it's just pitting two good singles wrestlers together and that's that. Nuh uh, dumb asses. Me and my brother D-Von, we know what we're doing in there. We know that in a Tag Team Match, it's all about trusting your partner, and knowing what they're thinking when they're thinking it. So tonight, close the book on your cinderella story, because you ain't touching our belts!
D-Von Dudley: Oh my brother, Testify!
THE BADLANDZ TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS WALK OUT OF THE SCENE AS THE CAMERAS SHIFT TO TO RINGSIDE.
GUN SHOTS GO OFF FOLLOWED BY A SIREN. SUDDENLY, "HOLLER, IF YOU HEAR ME!" IS HEARD AND THEN "SHOOT ME AGAIN" BY METALLICA HITS AND SCOTT STEINER AND THE OUTLAW COME OUT TO A MIXED REACTION FROM THE CROWD.
"DROP THE BOMBSHELL" HITS AND THE DUDLEY BOYZ COME OUT WITH THEIR BADLANDZ WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES TO A DEAFENING OVATION FROM THE CROWD.
Mike Tenay: This is a veteran team if there's ever been one, and what a match this is going to be tonight.
Brooklyn Brawler: On Badlandz, Tenay, these two teams were at each other's throats. Now, they get a chance to put their hands around each other's throats... Ooh, I'm getting goosebumps!
Hardcore Tornado Tag Team Match: The Dudley Boyz(c) vs Scott Steiner and The Outlaw
When the bell hits, Bubba goes at Steiner with right hands and D-Von at Outlaw. The Tag Team Champions are in control early on using great teamwork, irish whipping the challengers into eachother and then dropping Stereo Elbow Drops across both men's chest. They both go into the cover, and both get one counts. Bubba and D-Von think too quick though and the veterans make a rookie mistake by going fo the 3D on Outlaw, because Steiner rolled out of the ring and grabbed a Steel Chair while the two were setting Outlaw up, which he crushes across D-Von's skull. Bubba turns around and suffers the same fate. Steiner is on a roll and then hits D-Von with an Elbow Drop of his own, followed by doing push ups by the Tag Team Champion. Bubba runs at Steiner, but Steiner throws him over head with a Belly to Belly, followed by hitting with D-Von with a Side Belly to Belly onto a Steel Chair. Bubba rolls out of the ring, but Outlaw follows him and puts the hands to him. Outlaw throws Bubba face first into the Steel Ring Post and then slams his arm into it over and over again. Steiner goes over to pick D-Von up in the ring, but D-Von finds life and fires off right hands to the stomach. D-Von runs off the ropes, but gets planted with a T-Bone Suplex. Steiner calls for the end and goes to the outside of the ring. In the meantime, Bubba has regained control on the outside and rolls Outlaw back into the ring. Bubba calls for the tables and throws one into the ring, followed by setting it up by the turnbuckle. Bubba takes Outlaw up to the top rope and puts him in Powerbomb position as the crowd comes to their feet for what's about to happen. Suddenly, Bubba gets a 4x4 to the face via Scott Steiner! Bubba is knocked out on the top rope as Outlaw is now in control up there. The Outlaw takes Bubba, and then hits him with a Fame-Asser off the top rope through the table! Steiner then picks up D-Von and puts him on top of Bubba via a Steiner Spiral. The two sit on top of them, and the referee counts the dominant 1, 2, 3!
STEINER AND OUTLAW SLAP HANDS AND HUG AS THE REFEREE HANDS THEM THEIR NEWLY WON BADLANDZ WORLD TAG TEAM TITLES.
Mike Tenay: I don't believe what we've just seen, Brawler. Scott Steiner and The Outlaw are Tag Team Champions together for the second time, this time on Badlandz. But, that's not even what I'm shocked about, they just DOMINATED one of the legendary teams in this business!
Brooklyn Brawler: And that Tenay, is why THEY are going to be a legendary team in this business. What a performance, and congratulations to the new Badlandz Tag Team Champions!
Mike Tenay: What a performance is right, Brawler, and ladies and gentlemen... You have just seen for the first time ever, as far as I can remember, The Dudley Boyz being dominated in a tag team match!
STEINER AND OUTLAW ARE RAISING THE TAG TEAM TITLES IN THE AIR AS THE CAMERA SHIFTS TO THE DUDLEY BOYZ WHO ARE GETTING MEDICAL ATTENTION.
ERIC BISCHOFF IS IN HIS OFFICE WITH TEST, A-TRAIN, AND MARCUS COR VON WHO ARE ALL YELLING.
Eric Bischoff: Enough! Alright, I get it... You want to face AJ Styles. But, you can't tonight, at least not in the way you want. A-Train you will take part in the 10 Man Over the Top Rope Battle Royal tonight, as will you Marcus Cor Von. And A-Train, you're lucky I'm doing this, because only wrestlers who had matches tonight are allowed in this Battle Royal. But for the sake of entertainment, Low-Ki and Elix Skipper will be taken out of this match. And the two men replacing them... A-Train, and...
Test: Me!
Eric Bischoff: No! A... J... Styles! And you guys are probably going to love Low-Ki and Elix Skipper because I was going to do this for you two, but since you want AJ so bad... Four weeks from now, Scott Steiner and The Outlaw will defend their Badlandz World Tag Team Titles against Triple X! And yes, that means not you! Now get the hell out of my office!
THE THREE MEN LOOK FURIOUS AS THEY EXIT THE OFFICE.
THE SCENE FADES TO THE PARKING LOT WHERE CHRIS JERICHO AND BULL BUCHANON ARE, BOTH IN THEIR STREET CLOTHES. SUPERSTARS ARE STANDING AROUND THE PARKING LOT PLACING THEIR BETS ON THE MATCH. A REFEREE EXPLAINS THE RULES TO BOTH MEN, AND ONCE HE SAYS THEY CAN GO, JERICHO IMMEDIATELY POUNCES ON BUCHANON.
Y2J is all over Bull with forearms and punches, followed by throwing him face first into the hood of a parked sedan. Jericho unloads more taped-fist right hands to Bull's face before stepping back and Dropkicking Bull right into the grill of the Sedan. Bull crawls over to a limousine parked in the lot, but Jericho is tailing him. Jericho reaches down to pull up Buchanon, but Buchanon Drop Toe Hold's Jericho face first threw one of the windows in the limousine. The superstars watching let out an "Ooh!" as Buchanon stays on the offensive by hitting right hands of his own on Y2J. Buchanon lifts Jericho up and walks towards the sedan again. Buchanon drops Jericho onto the hood of the car with a Samoan Drop as Jericho screams in pain and grabs his back. Buchanon smiles and yells to the superstars around the lot that he is the best there is. Buchanon lifts up Jericho, and then throws him into the limousine door back first. Buchanon takes one of Jericho's legs and opens a door, placing his leg inside of the door. Buchanon begins slamming the door on Jericho's leg time after time again. Jericho is able to stop it finally by putting his foot up, and then kicks the door into Buchanon's face, knocking him to the ground. Jericho struggles to his feet, but on basically one leg he begins a flurry of offense. First Jericho suplexes Buchanon, followed by a couple of Elbow Drop's across Buchanon's chest. Jericho slaps Buchanon's head before picking him up and then hitting him with a Double Underhook Backbreaker. Jericho feels the effects of it as the leg Buchanon targeted then got a 280 pound man across it. Jericho shrugs it off and hits a beautiful Lionsault off of a Lincoln Navigator on Buchanon! There are no pinfalls, as the only way to win is by KO, so Jericho begins unloading more right hands on Buchanon. Jericho gets up and when we finally get a good look at his face, he's completely busted open from the Drop Toe Hold at the beginning of the match. Jericho runs at Buchanon and then kicks him square in the chest. Jericho picks Buchanon up and throws him face first into the fire truck in the parking lot, followed by swinging the hose and hitting Buchanon with the nozzle! Buchanon appears to be out but is able to give the referee a response. Jericho waits for Buchanon to get up, and then goes for a Hurricanrana, only to have it reversed into a Kneeling Powerbomb! Jericho hits the mat hard, but he too is able to give the referee a response. Buchanon lifts up Jericho, but puts him right back down with a Swinging Neckbreaker. The superstars watching are loving the action as Jericho and Buchanon are both in obvious pain. Buchanon lifts Jericho up and knees him right in the temple. Jericho is clearly unconcious now, but before the referee can check on him, Buchanon lifts him up again and puts him down with a Scissors Kick. The referee checks on Y2J, but he's unable to respond and the referee calls for the end of the match.
Match Time: 11:29
BUCHANON THROWS HIS HANDS UP IN VICTORY AS SOME SUPERSTARS ARE HAPPY AND ASK FOR THEIR MONEY, WHILE OTHERS ARE AND DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE. BUCHANON SCREAMS DOWN TO JERICHO WHO IS UNCONCIOUS ON THE PARKING LOT PAVEMENT. THE SCENE SHIFTS BACKSTAGE.
BACKSTAGE, NUNZIO, JOHNNY STAMBOLI, BIG VITO, AND MARK JINDRAK ARE STANDING IN THEIR LOCKERROOM.
Nunzio: Hey, listen to me alright... Johnny and Vito couldn't get it done earlier tonight, but we recruited Marky here, took out that punk Ron Killings, and soon we'll have the first ever Badlandz World Champion as part of the FBI.
THE FOUR MEN NOD THEIR HEADS AS THE SCENE GOES TO RINGSIDE WHERE "HOLLER IF YOU HEAR ME!" HITS AND WE FIND OUT THAT SCOTT STEINER IS THE FIRST ENTRANT IN THE 10 MAN OVER THE TOP ROPE BATTLE ROYAL. SURPRISINGLY THOUGH, THE NEXT SONG TO HIT IS THAT OF THE "NO INTRODUCTION NEEDED" OUTLAW. THE NEW BADLANDZ WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS ARE THE FIRST TWO ENTRANTS IN THE BATTLE ROYAL AND WILL NOW HAVE TO FIGHT EACH OTHER!
Mike Tenay: Wow! Now this should be interesting.
Brooklyn Brawler: Hey buddy, should be awesome! Keep in mind though folks, Scott Steiner did attack The Outlaw just a few weeks ago.
THE SCENE GOES BACK TO THE RING WHERE THE MATCH GETS UNDERWAY.
The first two men in the match are the new Badlandz World Tag Team Champions, Scott Steiner and The Outlaw. The two partners shake hands before locking up and testing their strength, a test in which Steiner passes by throwing Outlaw over his head with a Belly to Belly Suplex. Outlaw grabs his back but smiles at his partner before they lock up again, but this time Outlaw gets him with an arm wrench follwed by Knife Edge Chops to the chest. The third entrant into the match is Marcus Cor Von, and he goes right after Outlaw, but misses a Pounce! This leads to the new Tag Team Champions teaming up to eliminate Cor Von via a double clothesline over the top rope! The next superstar is Booker T, who suffered the same result just as soon as he got ino the ring. The next entrant is AJ Styles, who goes after the Tag Champs with a Double Front Suplex which knocks them backwards, only for them to run back and suffer a beautiful Pele Kick, taking them both out. The next entrant is A-Train who uses his anger from last week's Badlandz loss to knock Outlaw down with a Bicycle Kick. The four men continue fighting and are followed by Bull Buchanon, and then the biggest competitor in the match, The Big Show. All 5 men look at teachother and right away go after the 500 pounder, they nearly get him out, but he pushes all of the men off of him. As the men are running back at him, Chris Jericho comes out of nowhere and pulls Bull Buchanon onto the ring apron. Buchanon yells down to Jericho, but Outlaw and Steiner knock him off the apron! It's an official elimination, but Buchanon has no time to be angry because Jericho takes it to him with right hands and forearms. They fight to the back, and Val Venis comes out as the 9th entrant. Big Show is fighting everyone off, but Steiner and Outlaw team up once again and dump the 500 pounder over the top rope! A-Train then winds up and kicks Steiner right between the legs! A-Train gets Steiner over the top rope with no problem after the low blow, but Outlaw catches him with a Fame-Asser for revenge. When Outlaw turns around though, AJ Styles kicks him in the gut and hits the Styles Clash! Venis is fighting with Styles now, as Outlaw is recovering and trading punches with A-Train when the final entrant comes into the match... Chris Jericho! Jericho shocks everyone as he seemingly got the best of Buchanon backstage, and right when he gets into the ring he back body drops Val Venis over the top rope! Jericho, A-Train, The Outlaw, and AJ Styles are the final four now as the four men go to the seperate corners of the ring to scout the competition. Outlaw goes at A-Train and AJ and Jericho begin going at it as the crowd is going wild with a Badlandz World Title Shot at any time on the line. A-Train is able to get the upperhand with a hard knee to the ribs of Outlaw, and then Irish Whips him across the ring before putting him down with another Bicycle Kick. AJ got a Spinning Kick to the stomach of Jericho before running at A-Train, only to get a Derailer for his troubles. Jericho is able to get a few clubs in on A-Train's back, but A-Train pushes Y2J off of him as he is dominatin gall of the last three competitors. Jericho is backed into a corner, and then pulls a chunk of hair off of A-Train's chest! A-Train screams out in pain as all three men now try to get him over the top rope, but A-Train is able to overpower all three of them. When The Outlaw runs back at A-Train he gets caught with a Dropkick to the side of his body by Jericho, pushing him over the top rope! The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Outlaw is furious on the outside of the ring. Jericho and AJ team up now to try and take out the much bigger A-Train. A-Train is able to pick up both men and put them onto his shoulders. He runs over towards the ropes to throw him out but they both are able to slide out the back and A-Train nearly goes over the top rope. AJ then runs at him but gets tossed 4 feet in the air over the ring before going the extra height to crash to the outside of the ring! A-Train laughs as AJ, the man who challenged him earlier in the night, is out on the floor. Jericho and A-Train are the only two men left in the ring as Jericho is still bleeding from his match earlier tonight. A-Train charges at Jericho who uses his speed to hit him with a Drop Toe Hold, followed by a Lionsault to A-Train's back! Jericho tries to lift up the dead weight, but A-Train is just too heavy and Jericho just doesn't have enough left. With one last spurt of offense, Jericho locks A-Train in the Walls of Jericho as the crowd goes absolutely bisurk! A-Train has too much strength left from having no match tonight, though, and crawls over to the ring ropes. He grabs onto the middle rope and pulls himself up, pushing Jericho off in the process. While A-Train is in the middle rope, AJ Styles comes around the ring post and clobbers him with a Steel Chair to the skull! The crowd is going crazy as AJ walks back up the ramp. In the ring, Jericho sees A-Train who is still wabbling on the ropes, and then runs at him before Clotheslining him, nearly taking him over the top rope! Jericho does it twice more, and gets the same result. Finally, Jericho springboards off the adjacent ring ropes and hits A-Train with a Triangle Dropkick! A-Train goes over the top rope, but lands on the ring apron. Jericho can't believe how hard it is to eliminate the 300 plus pounder, but begins unloading right hands to A-Train anyway. A-Train is hanging onto the ring ropes by one hand, and Jericho bites the fingers of A-Train! A-Train falls off and down to the outside as Jericho wins the Battle Royal and a Badlandz World Heavyweight Title Shot in arguably the weirdest ending to a match ever!
JERICHO GOES CRAZY IN THE RING HUGGING THE RING ROPES AND BEATING HIS CHEST AS "BREAK THE WALLS DOWN!" HITS AND THE CROWD GOES INTO A FRENZY.
Brooklyn Brawler: What?! He bit him Tenay, he bit him!
Mike Tenay: I can't believe this, Brawler! Chris Jericho just took part in a Parking Lot Brawl, and now look, he's number one contender for the Badlandz World Title!
Brooklyn Brawler: Yeah, because he bit A-Train! Not to mention AJ Styles hitting A-Train with a Steel Chair, Tenay!
Mike Tenay: Well, they say payback is a bitch, Brawler. A-Train said he was ready to take on the entire roster, and AJ Styles just found the counter for the size difference! All I have to say is this, Brawler... Kane, Chuck Palumbo, or whoever our World Champion may be when Chris Jericho decides to cash in... Keep your eyes open, because Chris Jericho has a title shot whenever he pleases!
CHRIS JERICHO STILL CANT BELIEVE IT AS HE IS BLEEDING FROM THE PARKING LOT BRAWL, BUT SEEMS TO FORGET IT WHEN HE JUMPS UP AND HUGS THE REFEREES ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING! A-TRAIN LOOKS UP AT AJ STYLES AND SCREAMS TO HIM AS AJ HAS A HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE. JERICHO BEATS HIS CHEST IN PRIDE OF WINNING AS THE FANS ARE GOING ABSOLUTELY NUTS OVER JERICHO'S FEAT.
A VIDEO HYPING THE UPCOMING TWF BADLANDZ WORLD TITLE MATCH BETWEEN KANE AND CHUCK PALUMBO IS SHOWN...
Over the past month, there has been battles between 16 of the best superstars in the TWF, the Badlandz Superstars. Starting with 16, then down to 8, then to 4... And now we're down to 2. But, there's one problem: THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE! There can only be one TWF Badlandz World Champion... There can only be one man who raises the gold over his head tonight. The world will end, and the Badlandz will begin. The reign of a king will begin, and by the end of the night... The Apocalypse will be Now! Kane... Chuck Palumbo... Fiery Heart versus Fiery Italian. Big Red Machine versus Full Blooded Italian. Both men have gone through fierce competition to get here... Kane has gone through The Big Show, Booker T and Bull Buchanon... Chuck Palumbo has gone through Billy Gunn, Val Venis, and AJ Styles. Both men have proved that they are worthy, but which one can become TWF Badlandz World Heavyweight Champion? We are about to find out...
FIREWORKS GO OFF RIGHT WHEN THE VIDEO ENDS AND KANE COMES OUT TO A MONSTEROUS OVATION. KANE IS LOOKING AS DETERMINED AS HE'S EVER BEEN, AS HE WALKS TO THE RING AND CLIMBS OVER THE TOP ROPE. HE THROWS HIS HANDS UP SLOWLY, AND THEN SLAMS THEM DOWN AS FIREWORKS GO OFF FROM THE RING AND STAGE!
Mike Tenay: This is the moment we have all been waiting for... The TWF Badlandz World Championship Match! Kane is the 326 pound, 7 feet tall Big Red Machine...
Brooklyn Brawler: And Chuck Palumbo is the 6 foot 7, 285 pound Italian! I think we all know what's on both of these men's minds, Tenay... And that is winning the TWF Badlandz World Title!
Mike Tenay: This is one of the rare times I will say this, Brawler, but you're exactly right! Both of these men have beaten some of the top Badlandz Superstars to get here, and now... It's time to cash in.
THE FBI'S MUSIC HITS AND CHUCK PALUMBO COMES OUT TO A FLOOD OF BOO'S FROM THE LOS ANGELES CROWD ALONGSIDE NUNZIO. PALUMBO IS SLOW TO WALK DOWN THE RAMP AS HE AND KANE HAVE THEIR EYES LOCKED ON EACH OTHER.
Mike Tenay: I have a very strong feeling that Nunzio could play a big role in this match.
Brooklyn Brawler: And I have a very strong feeling that it doesn't matter, because Chuck Palumbo will be Badlandz World Champion no matter what!
Mike Tenay: Hey, if anyone can handle facing two men... It's Kane. But enough of us, let's get this match underway!
"I'M BACK!" HITS AND ERIC BISCHOFF COMES OUT TO AN ARRAY OF BOO'S.
Kane and Palumbo get right into eachothers faces and trade words before Kane gets a sadistic smile on his face. Palumbo is quick to get it off by slapping the Big Red Machine across the face, probably the stupidest move he's made all tournament. Kane grabs Palumbo by the throat and throws him into the corner and attacks him with Elbows, Punches, and Knees to the gut and face. Kane irish whip's Palumbo to the opposite turnbuckle, and follows up with a Clothesline. Kane lifts Palumbo up onto his shoulder, and slams him back first into the turnbuckle followed by an Oklahoma Slam! Kane goes for the pinfall, but Palumbo is able to get his shoulder up at two as Nunzio takes a sigh of relief at the outside of the ring. Kane picks Palumbo up and puts his hand around Palumbo's throat, but instead of hitting a Chokeslam from Hell, he puts Palumbo groin first onto the ring ropes. Kane bounces Palumbo up and down before hitting finally bouncing Palumbo to the outside of the ring. Kane smiles and tells the crowd that it's over with a slit of the throat motion. Kane crawls to the outside of the ring, and picks up Palumbo but gets an Eye Rake from Chuck followed by Chuck throwing Kane head first into the barricade. Palumbo then slams Kane's head repeatedly into the ring steps, but Kane reverses it and throws Palumbo into Nunzio! Kane rolls into the ring before the referee can count him out, but rolls back out to go after Palumbo. As Kane is going for Palumbo, he gets a Super Kick! Palumbo rolls Kane back into the ring, and then goes to grab a chair from underneath the ring. While Palumbo is reaching under the ring, he is suddenly seemingly pulled to underneath the ring. The crowd, Nunzio, the referee, and Kane are all wondering what is going on. Suddenly Palumbo rolls out from underneath the ring, and Ron Killings rolls out behind him! Killings unloads punches to the face, and the referee calls for the bell. Killings doesn't stop his assault as Nunzio then comes over, but gets leveled by a Side Kick. Bischoff has seen enough as he has now grabbed a microphone.
Eric Bischoff: Enough! Killings, if you don't get away from him this damn second you're suspended!
THE CROWD BOOS AS BIG VITO, JOHNNY STAMBOLI, AND MARK JINDRAK OF THE FBI CAN BE SEEN WALKING DOWN THE RAMP.
Eric Bischoff: And you three, don't even think about touching him! This match is going to continue, and we will have a Badlandz World Heavyweight Champion before end of the night! As for the FBI and Ron Killings, you will settle this! Because on the next Badlandz, it will be Ron "The Truth" Killings versus Mark Jindrak!
THE CROWD GOES WILD AS THE FBI LOOKS FURIOUS.
Eric Bischoff: Now restart the damn match!
Before the bell can ring, Vito, Jindrak, and Stamboli plant Kane with a Triple Spinebuster. Palumbo quickly runs over and hooks Kane's leg, but The Big Red Machine gets a break when Killings pulls the ref out of the ring. Killings and the FBI trade words but security and referees from the back has rushed out to the ring and seperated them. While the referee is on the outside recovering, Palumbo picks Kane up, only to kick him in between the legs! Palumbo throws his arms up in celebration of hurting the Big Red Machine as the referee gets back into the ring, but Palumbo doesn't realize that Kane just sat up. When Palumbo turns around Kane puts a hand around his throat and lifts him up and delivers the Chokeslam from Hell! Kane goes into the cover to become the first Badlandz World Champion, and gets him!
Mike Tenay: Talk about sweet revenge, Brawler!
Brooklyn Brawler: No, no, no! Kane can't be champion! He's a damn psycho! This is all Ron Killings' fault, Kane doesn't deserve this title!
Mike Tenay: Doesn't deserve it? Kane is undefeated in the Badlandz! And for psycho, maybe he is, but he is also the face of Badlandz. Congratulations Kane, and Brawler, where's my money?
Brooklyn Brawler: Yeah, like you're gonna get that from me.
THE REFEREE HANDS THE BADLANDZ WORLD TITLE TO KANE, WHO HOLDS IT IN HIS RIGHT HAND AND LIFTS IT UP IN THE AIR, BEFORE SLAMMING HIS ARMS DOWN THUS BRINGING THE FIREWORKS AT THE FOUR RING POSTS AND STAGE TO GO OFF.
Mike Tenay: What a night, ladies and gentlemen! What a night! We have new Tag Team Champions, and Kane is our first ever World Champion! Tune into next weeks Badlandz for the Apocalypse Now! aftermath...
Brooklyn Brawler: I still can't believe that Palumbo just lost... But yeah, what he said. What a night!
THE SHOT GOES BACK TO KANE, WHO IS SHAKING HANDS WITH RON KILLINGS, BEFORE GETTING AN EVIL SMILE ON HIS FACE WHILE HE RAISES THE BADLANDZ WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE OVER HIS HEAD. PALUMBO IS GETTING HELPED BY THE REST OF THE FBI UP THE RAMP, AND THE SCENE FADES TO BLACK, ENDING BADLANDZ'S FIRST PAY-PER-VIEW!
