One Last Match - 

Sly Dogg vs Crazy Cooper

The scene opens in the training gym where we left Sly Dogg and what looks to be his new found friend Sal T. Nutz. Sal T. is over at the weights with Sly Dogg. Sal T. is holding up the weights as Sly Dogg struggles to lift the heavy weight. A big beefy man would walk up to Sly Dogg and watched as Sly Dogg’s face turned bright red as he finally lifted the weight all the way up. The man would laugh at Sly Dogg as he sat up and stared at the man. Sly Dogg would start laughing as well as he stood up and stood right in the man’s face. Suddenly Sly Dogg would duck under the man’s enormous arms and locked in the Tasmission. The man was huge, but wasn’t strong enough to make Sly Dogg lose his grip. The man slowly started to fade away as Sly Dogg choked the big guy out. Sly Dogg would finally let go of the man and let him drop to the floor. He wouldn’t be unconscious, but he was so woozy he couldn’t get back to his feet on his own. Sly Dogg would walk back over to the weights and picked it back up, only to drop in on the man’s knee. The man screamed in pain as Sly Dogg started laughing right in the man’s face.

Sal T “We had better get out of here Doggy. You don’t want to get arrested before this Sunday do you?”

Sly Dogg would just continue to laugh as he grabbed his bag and headed out of the doors of the gym. The two would get back into the car and drove away.

Sal T “Well, where are we headed now? You could have done another hours training if you hadn’t have done that,”

Sly Dogg “Ah well, stop dwelling in the past like I always say,”

Sal T “Doggy you never say that, that’s what I told you before…”

Sly Dogg would just stare at Sal T. with that certain look in his eye that told Sal T. to stop talking before something happened that Sly Dogg would regret.

Sly Dogg “I recon that we will go to the ROW arena,”

Sal T “Is there any particular reason that you want to go there?”

Sly Dogg “Nah not really. I might catch up with my bro, maybe even go down to the ring and see how the fans are going. I like to live for the moment Sal T, just take things as they come,”

Sal T. “Live for the moment? Wow never heard that one before,”

Sal T. Nutz would roll his eyes. Some time would pass and finally Sly Dogg would pull up outside the ROW arena. The two would get out of the car and would head inside the building. They would walk through the front office when a security guard would stop them.

Sly Dogg “Don’t worry about him, he’s with me,”

Guard “And who might you be?”

Sly Dogg “Who might I be? I might be the one and only Sly Dogg,”

Guard “Who?”

Sly Dogg would look shocked.

Sly Dogg “You know, Sly Dogg? The man who ended Hardcore Jono’s winning ways in the ROW, the man who helped form the Alliance, the man who is going to kick Crazy Cooper’s ass this Sunday at Back to Basics?”

Guard “Alliance? Never heard of them,”

Sly Dogg “What the hell is wrong with you? I am a legend in the wrestling business… well not exactly a legend, but I have still won every Championship that I have ever had a shot at,”

Suddenly someone behind Sly Dogg would shove through.

Guard “Hey Jimmy, nice to see you here,”

Sly Dogg “Bro? What you doing here?”

Jimmy G “I had to get away from the training arena. I kinda blew the place up,”

Guard “Hey I heard about that, you alright?”

Jimmy G “Yeah I am fine, Darcy is kinda annoyed with me though,”

Jimmy G would pass the Security Guard. Sly Dogg would try to do the same but the Guard stepped in front of him.

Guard “I’m sorry sir, but only ROW wrestlers are allowed past this point,”

Sly Dogg “But I AM an ROW wrestler!”

The Security Guard would take a long hard look at Sly Dogg’s face.

Guard “Wait, I think I do know you,”

Sly Dogg “About time, Sly Doggy Dogg…”

Guard “You are Jimmy G’s brother aren’t you?”

Sly Dogg’s eyes would widen with anger before reluctantly nodding.

Guard “I knew it! Your brother is such a great wrestler, I am behind him all the way in his Cruiserweight Championship defence against Sean Salsbury,”

Sly Dogg would look an evil look at the Guard before finally shoving past him with Sal T. Nutz following not far behind.

Sly Dogg “I can’t believe it. One short month away from the wrestling ring and already my brother is overshadowing me! This just isn’t right! I am Global Championship material and some piece of shit Guard can’t even recognise me!”

Sal T “Calm down Doggy. You’ve got to expect things like that to happen every now and then. I mean you weren’t exactly a huge success in the ROW were you?”

Sly Dogg “What do you mean? I was the Hardcore Champion almost instantly…”

Sal T “You had the thing for one crummy week. Look at your ROW record. Your first match was a draw, and since then you have lost 2 and only won 1 match. Your brother was also involved in the drawn match, but besides that he is undefeated around here. That’s not half bad when you are as unexperienced as he is. He may not be getting the fan support, but he seems to be getting the respect from the guys backstage,”

Sly Dogg would pretend that he was ignoring Sal T, most likely because he couldn’t hack that his brother has become more successful in the ROW than Sly Dogg will ever be seeing as this is his last ever match at Back to Basics. Sly Dogg would just head towards the old Alliance locker room so he could sit down. When he got to the door, he noticed that the Alliance logo was taken off of the door and it had been replaced with a huge banner for Jimmy G. The sight of the banner enraged Sly Dogg. Sal T. tried to calm down Sly Dogg, it took a while but he finally did it. Sly Dogg would walk into the room anyway to find his brother Jimmy G watching videos of previous Royal Rumbles that have happened in the ROW’s past.

Jimmy G “Hey that Guard let you in bro,”

Sly Dogg “Yeah thanks a heap for helping me out there,”

Jimmy G “You have always told me that I should fight my own fights and never ask for help,”

Sly Dogg “I didn’t ask for your help, but you could have been kind enough to offer your services to me,”

Jimmy G “No bro, that would have been selfish of me,”

Sal T Nutz would try hard not to laugh.

Sly Dogg “Something funny?”

Sal T “Nope, nothing at all,”

Sly Dogg would sigh.

Sly Dogg “Anyway, I’m going to the ring,”

Sal T “I’ll come out to make sure you don’t hurt yourself,”

Sly Dogg “I was hoping you would come out with me,”

Jimmy G “Will this be the last time that we ever see each other as two ROW wrestlers?”

Sly Dogg “Yeah maybe,”

Jimmy G “That sucks bro,”

Sly Dogg “Yep, sure does. Ah well, good luck for you match this Sunday bro,”

Jimmy G “Thanks bro,”

Sly Dogg “Oh, and one more thing,”

Jimmy G “What is that bro?”

Sly Dogg “Don’t you ever overshadow me you little bastard!”

Sly Dogg would storm out of the locker room with Sal T. Nutz not far behind.

Sal T “That really wasn’t very nice,”

Sly Dogg “Who are you now, my freaken mother?”

Sal T “No, but I’ve got a brother and…”

Sly Dogg “You go annoy him then,”

Sly Dogg would go to the storage room before getting to the ring, and grabbed his old trusty hockey stick. Sly Dogg hadn’t seen this since his match at Hardcore Hell, so it was almost like a homecoming for him. That stick means a lot to Sly Dogg. Sly Dogg would also grab a bag that looked to be his. Sly Dogg would walk up towards the apron and waited for his music to start playing. The scene would reopen in the centre of the ring, when ‘One of a Kind’ by Breaking Point would hit the PA System, the theme of Sly Dogg. Sly Dogg would get a mixed reaction from the capacity crowd in the arena as the D-O-Double-G made his way down towards the ring accompanied by Sal T. Nutz. The two would enter the ring and Sly Dogg would grab a mic.

Sly Dogg “Sly Dogg is back in a wrestling ring!”

Again, Sly Dogg would get a mixed reaction.

Sly Dogg “Now I know what you are all thinking, but unlike Chris Anderson I am not psychic, psycho, whatever the hell he said, but I still know what you are thinking now. What on Earth is Sly Dogg doing back in the wrestling ring, and further more what the hell is he doing challenging the so called ‘Crazy’ one to a match at Back to Basics this Sunday. Well, the answer is simple, I like kicking people’s asses, and more importantly I like kicking people’s asses when I know I can beat them easily! Now whereas that might not sound like the words of a champion, but when you think about it logically, it is a very smart move. Because there have been a lot of legends in the wrestling ring, not only in the ROW, but in every single wrestling federation around the world, and a lot of them have had illustrious careers, but a lot of them have had awful last matches. Let’s take an example from the old xWo… even though I may get into trouble for doing it. This guy was a legend, an absolute master in the ring, couldn’t do anything wrong. In the very last xWo show, this man, Pete ‘The Hitman’ Holden, was Internet Champion at the time, and was taking on the challenger, Cirus the Virus to see who would have the honour of walking out of that ring as the last ever xWo Champion. Let me tell you one thing though, the match was absolutely amazing, the two didn’t hold anything back, but in the end it was Cirus the Virus picking up the win after hitting Pete Holden with the Viral Infection. Everything that he had to do to get where he was, and he finished his career with a loss. That is not something that I want to do to myself. My last ever xWo match that night was against Crazy Cooper, and I won that match. Like I said that other night, I also thought of retiring that night, but was talked into staying in the business by Mark Michaels. So basically what I am doing this Sunday is replaying my match against Crazy Cooper so that I can finish my career the way that I was going to finish it before,”

Sly Dogg would bend over and picked up the bag that he grabbed from the storage room before he came down to the ring.

Sly Dogg “Now I know I am going to get into trouble for doing this, but it isn’t like they can fire me from wrestling anymore seeing as this Sunday is my last ever,”

Sly Dogg would unzip the bag and pulled out a Championship belt. Sal T. Nutz would look on in shock

Sly Dogg “You see this Championship in my hand? This here is the xWo National Championship, the title that I was defending against Crazy Cooper in our last match. Shortly after I debuted in the ROW, I gave this Championship to my friend Crusher, but I spoke to him the other day and got it back so I could show it to you all. Now I know I can’t make everything exact and defend this Championship against Cooper this Sunday, in fact there is nothing I can really do with it all except…”

Sly Dogg would kiss the Championship. He then quickly turned and cracked the belt over Sal T’s head! Sal T. would fall to the ground instantly, and the capacity crowd would start cheering Sly Dogg. Sly Dogg would drop the title down on the ground and started stomping away on Sal T Nutz as he picked up the mic again.

Sly Dogg “The ROW fans mightn’t know who you are, but I know you are nothing more than a worthless piece of shit! Over the last few days you think you have been trying to help me prepare for this match, but all you have done is driven me up the wall. I never wanted your help, and you know why? Because you were never good enough to get into this business yourself, yet you acted like you were such a fucking pro didn’t you? So take this as a lesson Sal T, a lesson from a true profession of the game,”

Sly Dogg would pick up Sal T. and continued to pound him to the ground. Sly Dogg would then pick up Sal T. with ease and set him up in the Tree of Woe position on the turnbuckle. Sly Dogg then headed to the corner of the ring where he left his bag and grabbed his faithful hockey stick. The crowd would start chanting for Sly Dogg as a perverted smile spread over his face. Sly Dogg would then take a grip on the hockey stick and charged towards Sal T. upside down in the corner and struck the stick right across Sal T’s face! Sal T. would fall to the ground, holding his face in agonising pain. Sly Dogg would start laughing as EMT’s came charging to the ring to assist Sal T. They would tell Sly Dogg to back off as they assisted Sal T. towards the back. Sal T’s face his been busted open as he was slowly taken to the back. Sly Dogg would once again pick up the mic.

Sly Dogg “You know what that was? That was a sign of things to come this Sunday Cooper. When I smacked this hockey stick across Sal T’s face, I didn’t see his face, I saw yours Cooper. I saw the fear in your eyes when I cracked your skull into pieces with my weapon of choice so to speak,”

Sly Dogg would pause for a second.

Sly Dogg “OK wait a second, I kinda lied there. I didn’t really see Cooper’s face then, I saw Sal T’s because he really was pissing me off. But non the less Cooper if I have the chance to this Sunday I will have no trouble doing exactly the same thing to you. You see Cooper, this isn’t just another match against you, this isn’t just another match for me at all. This match is for over a month of not being able to step into the ring because of Pyro after what he did to me at Hardcore Hell. Besides, Pyro has his hands full with Mace Draklin this Sunday, and even if he didn’t I doubt he would want to accept my challenge after what he did to me. So luckily for Pyro he has a shot at the Global Championship, instead of getting a shot in the face with my hockey stick. But regardless I hope Pyro wins the title, if he does it might keep me in the ROW, but that is a very big if. I mean who knows, just because I say that this is my last match at Back to Basics mean that I will quit forever. I could come back at any stage and any time, without anyone knowing when I am going to strike. Of course I don’t want to give much away to anyone, but seeing as I am not going to be here at the time, let me wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!”

Sly Dogg would drop the mic and grabbed his belt, bag and hockey stick. One of a Kind by Breaking Point would once again hit the PA System as the scene ends and the camera fades to black.

I'd like to thank everyone who helped me get as good as I am today. Thanks Cirus, Pete Holden, Mark Michaels, Raven, and most importantly... the man that let me copy his web site Chris Anderson!
