VINNIE: What is Dorito doing out here? He's not scheduled to be out here.
SPADES: Who cares! The hell in a cell is lowering and this could only mean one thing, hardcore title!
VINNIE: What is that title over Dorito's shoulder anyways? And why is Dorito coming out here for this hardcore title match.
SPADES: Maybe he's going back to his Hardcore Savior spiel.
Dorito stands in front of the entrance way and pulls a microphone up to his mouth. The music cuts out as Dorito prepares to speak.
DORITO: Fellow NCW fans, I come out here at this time not as a wrestler, but as the Spokesperson for the National Conference on Hardcore and Extreme Wrestling headquartered right here in Portland, Oregon!.
Crowd pops.
DORITO: After going through some meetings today, and with NCW president and owner Hitman, it was decided to disregard the Hardcore title in NCW. Crowd boos.
VINNIE: What?
SPADES: He did it. Dorito finally did it. He has been trying to get rid of the hardcore title in NCW for months and he finally accomplished it.
VINNIE: But why would Hitman let this go?
DORITO: So Mecca, I'd like you to come on out here and hand over your title.
SPADES: No hardcore title match tonight? What a jip!
"Shake Your Foundation" by AC/DC begins playing and Mecca wonders out through the entrance way. Mecca gets right into Dorito's face and holds the hardcore title up. Mecca says something to Dorito not picked up and he points at the hardcore title.
DORITO: Hold on crazy man. Hardcore wrestling in NCW is dead.
"- Human" by Metallica begins playing and out walks Janus who quickly walks over to Dorito and Mecca. Janus yells at Dorito.
VINNIE: Both competitors in this hardcore title match are irate over this decision.
DORITO: Woah, woah, woah, WOAH! Calm down guys. I'm not finished yet.
JANUS: You're about to BE finished.
DORITO: You see, the meeting and representatives from across the Western Hemisphere discussed this. A couple guys from Japan were even there. People from Southern Championship Wrestling, Eastern Championship Wrestling, Oriental Super Wrestling World, Ultimate Brazilian Wrestling League, and many more representatives were there. Hitman was even there. And what was discussed was the use of hardcore titles in professional wrestling. And after all the taboo, Hitman decided to rename the hardcore title to this here NO HOLDS BARRED TITLE!
Fans cheer away as Dorito smiles to the delight of cheers.
VINNIE: No Holds Barred title, it's back!
SPADES: Yeah, and it means more violence, more blood, more everything! And I can't believe Dorito is supporting this.
VINNIE: Sonic put it best three weeks ago on SNME, "Times change and there is no going back". This means Dorito is pro-hardcore now.
Mecca takes the hardcore title he's holding and slams it into the back of Janus's head, knocking him down to his knees. Mecca holds the hardcore title above his head and is about to slam it down on Janus, but Janus belts Mecca in the groin while Dorito drops the NHB title and scatters off to the back. Janus springs onto Mecca and starts wailing away at his face.
VINNIE: These guys are fighting near the entrance way, and the match hasn't even started yet!
Mecca rolls over onto Janus and wraps his hands around Janus's neck and starts choking away. Janus fights back by doing the same. Both men roll down the entrance way choking away at each other while the crowd goes nuts.
SPADES: This is insane!
VINNIE: No, this is No Holds Barred!
They veer off course and roll into the guard rail halfway to the ring. Janus, on top of Mecca, slugs Mecca in the face ferociously. Mecca tosses his weight and throws Janus off of him. Both men climb to their feet, Mecca using the guardrail. Janus charges at Mecca for a clothesline, but Mecca bends over and back-body drops Janus over the guardrail. Janus flips his weight and lands on his feet in the crowd behind Mecca. Janus wraps his left arm around and applies an Inverted Facelock to Mecca, then puts him in a Double-Face Destiny. Janus uses his right hand and pounds it down against Mecca's chest which lays on the guard rail, trying to injure the hardcore legend.
VINNIE: My god, he's trying to break Mecca in half!
SPADES: Serves him right, damn lunatic. I was eating chicken outside at a restaurant earlier and he ran by, grabbed it, and ran off with it before I ever got a bite!
Mecca reaches his right leg down and wraps it on the bottom of the guard rail. Mecca uses the rail and pulls his body off of the guard rail and stands up. Janus punches Mecca in the back of the head, but Mecca responds by breaking the hold with a jawbreaker on the guardrail. Janus spins around and falls onto some seats that have been cleared by security. Mecca gets back to his feet as Janus climbs out of the chairs and stands back up. Janus grabs a chair with him and throws it at Mecca as he turns around. The chair clanks against Mecca's face as Janus grabs another chair. Janus raises the chair above his head as Mecca shakes off the first chair. Mecca demands Janus swing the chair at him. Janus slams the chair down against Mecca's head, dropping him down to one knee, but Mecca gets back to his feet and demands another chair shot.
SPADES: I think Mecca has gone loopy after all these years of hardcore wrestling.
Janus slams the chair down on the top of Mecca's head again, dropping him down to both knees. Mecca begs Janus to hit him a third time and Janus obliges. Janus raises the chair once again as Mecca gets to his feet. Mecca dives over the guardrail and hits Janus with a weak spear that doesn't take the former champ down. Janus repositions the chair in front of him facing down and jams it into the back of Mecca's neck. Janus tosses the chair into the crowd as Mecca lays on the ground clutching at the back of his neck. Janus starts stomping away at Mecca's upper back and neck while the no holds barred champ screams in pain.
VINNIE: Janus has got to be the best technical wrestler in NCW today. He's setting Mecca up for a Crucifixion.
SPADES: Hard to argue with you over that. But why can't these guys take it into the ring? This match hasn't officially started yet!
VINNIE: I've got a feeling this is just the start of what may be one of the greatest matches in No Holds Barred history.
Janus stops kicking and reaches down, grabbing Mecca's hair. Janus pulls Mecca to his feet and throws him over the guardrail. Mecca crashes onto the ground while Janus climbs over the guardrail with fans running up to the railing and patting him on the back. Mecca pushes himself back to his feet and Janus quickly applies a full nelson. Mecca swings his right leg back and connects with Janus in the groin which breaks the hold. Janus slumps over in pain holding his groin. Mecca grabs the top of Janus's tights and the top of his left shoulder. Mecca rushes towards the hell in a cell with Janus and heaves him into the cage. Janus hits the cage and bounces off, crumpling down to the ground. Mecca demands the door be opened up and the referee opens it for him as Mecca helps Janus to his feet. Mecca holds Janus by the back of the hair and pulls him inside the cage, but Janus grabs Mecca's face and slams his head back against the side of the door opening. Mecca falls to the ground in the door opening on his stomach. Janus seizes the opportunity and applies a Mexican Surfboard in the doorway. Janus then hooks his arm around and applies an Inverted Facelock with the surfboard.
VINNIE: What a hold. How much longer can Mecca hold out in this match?
SPADES: I don't know, but these guys haven't really even got into the cell yet. Does this mean this match has started yet?
VINNIE: I can't say, but I believe the bell did ring awhile ago.
SPADES: I don't remember it ringing. But this is the closest they've been inside the cage.
Mecca somehow unhooks his left leg from Janus and he stomps it down onto Janus's groin. Janus releases Mecca, letting him roll into the cell. Janus lays in the open doorway holding his groin in pain while Mecca lays on his chest resting.
VINNIE: That was probably the only way to get out of the move, and it's not easy to even be able to get your leg released to do that.
Mecca pushes himself back to his feet as Janus rolls over onto his hands and knees, trying to catch his breath. Mecca grabs the ring curtain and pulls it up, then climbs under the ring to grab something.
SPADES: What is he going after?
VINNIE: I don't know, but knowing Mecca, it can't be good.
Mecca pulls out a table, then a tumbleweed of barbwire. The fans erupt in cheers as Mecca grabs the barbwire tumbleweed and holds it above his head.
VINNIE: A big roll of barbwire and a table in the hands of Mecca? That's as dangerous a combination as drinking and driving.
SPADES: No doubt.
Mecca takes a few steps to Janus and drops it onto the back of Janus. Mecca turns around, reaches down, and grabs the table. He stands it up and pushes the table through the door, dropping it on the mats outside the cage. Janus gets to his feet with the barbwire clinging to his hair, back, and the top of his tights. Janus walks out the hell in a cell and turns around to get clotheslined to the ground by a charging Mecca. Janus lands on the barbwire, crashing to the ground on it. Janus lets out a blood-curdling scream as the barbwire tears at his skin while Mecca exits the cell. Mecca walks over to the table he threw and begins setting it up.
VINNIE: What terror this match is. But what kind of terror will we see in the No Limit Terror match in the main event tonight between Gideon Frost and Avenging Angel?
SPADES: I'm not sure, but we can only guess what type of match it will be. And these two competitors are showing that NCW isn't hardcore, but no holds barred.
Mecca finishes setting up the table a couple feet from the cell and grabs the barbwire on Janus's back and yanks it off of him. Blood holes appear scattered over his back as Mecca lays the barbwire on the table.
VINNIE: I don't like where this is going. Mecca with tables and barbwire spells blood.
SPADES: Yeah, and Janus is already bleeding from his back.
Janus gets to his feet and staggers around, looking the opposite direction of Mecca. Janus stumbles and turns around and Mecca tries hip tossing him onto the table, but Janus counters with a chop to Mecca's chest. Janus quickly grabs Mecca and hits him with a forward russian legsweep. Mecca's head hits the corner of the table and breaks off a small piece of it, but the table still stands. Mecca rolls around on the ground holding his nose as Janus lays on the ground catching his breath.
VINNIE: What devastation! I'm not sure if I've ever seen two guys want to annihilate each other like these two are doing, and all simply over the No Holds Barred title!
SPADES: And clearly Janus is the smarter of the two, taking a quick break to regain his composure and rebuild his strength while his blood pumps out his back.
VINNIE: He is definitely going to the hospital after this match. And Mecca may be joining him with a broken nose.
SPADES: Absolutely. And I bet Thunder and the Hitmen would love getting involved in this match, but EVERYONE is barred from ringside except these two.
Janus watches Mecca get to his knees and Janus grabs the guardrail and pulls himself back to his feet. Mecca stands between Janus and the table as he turns around towards Janus. Janus charges at Mecca, and Mecca attempts a clothesline, but Janus slides bewteen Mecca's legs and under the table. Janus pushes himself back to his feet, and he stands between the table and cell, and flips off Mecca. Janus turns around and starts climbing the wall to the hell in a cell. Mecca walks around the table and begins climbing up the wall after Janus. Janus is about half way up the wall when Mecca grabs his foot. He tries kicking him off, but Mecca climbs up the cage trying to catch up. Mecca catches up with Janus and slugs him in the side of the chest. Janus kicks Mecca in the face and Mecca lets go of the cell with his left hand, swinging his arm around and looking down at the table. Mecca hangs on with his right arm as Janus furiously shakes the cage wall. Mecca swings his body and grabs the wall again with his left hand. Mecca lets his feet sway in the air and he swings them back. Mecca swings his feet and mule-kicks Janus in his right leg. Janus's right foot comes out of the chainlink hole and Janus loses his balance, and dangles on the cell wall about twelve feet off the ground. Mecca gets a foothold again and works his way over to Janus who tries getting his foothold again.
VINNIE: What excitement!
SPADES: Who cares about that, when are they going through the table?!
Mecca gets beside Janus on the wall and gets a good holding as he grabs the back of Janus's head with his left hand. Mecca slams Janus's head against the cell wall a couple of times. Janus lets go of the wall with his left hand and dangles with his right arm and right leg. Mecca wraps his arm around and hooks his leg around Janus. Mecca slams Janus's head against the wall again which makes him let go of the wall and they fall back, Mecca executing a Russian Legsweep off the cell wall. They fall about twelve feet, time seems to slow down as they fall in slow motio, and crash through a heap of barbwire and cripple a table. A "Holy Sh--" chant starts up in the crowd as Janus and Mecca lay wrapped in barbwire and pieces of wood that once made up a table.
VINNIE: (Joey Styles evil-like) OH MY GAAAWD!!!
SPADES: I've never seen ANYTHING like that in all my years of professional wrestling. NCW may have to become rated TV-AO after a move like that.
VINNIE: Ohhh my. This is insane!
SPADES: I have no idea what to think. We're gonna need some medical help for both of these guys right now. There is no way they are gonna be able to continue this match.
VINNIE: Hitman may want to rename the No Holds Barred title back to the hardcore title. The past title matches were much more tame than this.
SPADES: Definitely agreed. But this isn't your daddy's wrestling no more, this isn't just hardcore, this is NO HOLDS BARRED!!!
Both men try pulling themselves out of the carnage, but their bodies are wrapped in barbwire. Both men pull the barbwire out of the skin, and the camera gets a shot of Janus's back being crimson colored. Mecca bites at a strand of barbwire as he pulls a strand of wire out of his hair.
SPADES: Look at Mecca bite at that barbwire! What a goof!
Janus gets to his feet, back dosed in blood, as Mecca pulls himself out of the barbwire while it tears at his back and arms. Janus staggers towards the entrance of the hell in a cell as Mecca gets to his feet. Janus steps inside the hell in a cell as Mecca follows after him.
SPADES: About time they enter the cage.
Janus slides into the ring and gets to his feet as Mecca enters the cell. Janus walks across the ring as Mecca climbs into the ring. The referee closes the door and leaves it unlocked as Mecca gets into the ring and the competitors step into the middle of the ring. The referee enters the ring as Mecca and Janus go to lockup, but Janus ducks behind Mecca and applies a full nelson. Janus heaves Mecca up and scores a Dragon suplex with pin. The referee drops for the count, 0....1....2..kickout. Both men get back to their feet and step forward, locking up again. Mecca knees Janus in the groin which breaks the lockup. Janus bowels over and Mecca double-underhooks Janus's arms followed up with a double-arm suplex. Mecca takes a couple steps on his hands and knees over to Janus, and grabs one of his arms and applies an Armbar submission hold. Janus places his left foot on the bottom rope, but the referee does nothing about it since there are no rope breaks. The referee checks Janus for submission, but he refuses.
VINNIE: What a war this is!
SPADES: Both men using some technical moves rather than their trusty favorite moves they like using. This is gonna be a long fight I can bet.
VINNIE: All the referee can do right now is ask Janus for submission since there are no rope breaks. Anything goes.
Janus musters up some strength and pushes against the armbar hold. Janus pushes his body towards Mecca and small packages Mecca with the armbar still in check. The referee drops for a count, 0...1...2..kickout release by Mecca.
VINNIE: The only way Mecca was gonna kickout was by releasing the armbar and simply kicking out in which he did just so.
Janus gets to his feet, clutching at his left shoulder, as Mecca rolls to his feet. Mecca charges at Janus for a clothesline, but Janus counters with a hip toss. Mecca flips but lands on his feet and quickly flings Janus with an armdrag takedown. Janus bounces into the corner, head resting on the bottom rope, as Mecca runs at Janus. Mecca slams into the corner, driving his knee into Janus's face. Janus is out of it as he sits in the corner. Mecca goes with this and stomps a mudhole into Janus.
SPADES: Ouch! That's gotta hurt.
VINNIE: I can't believe what I'm seeing. Fighting in the crowd, fighting with barbwire, both men going through a table laced with barbwire, and now a technical match going on.
SPADES: Especially from Mecca.
VINNIE: Thunder is obviously training him.
Mecca turns and struts into the center of the ring, taunting his opponent, as Janus grabs the top rope and pulls himself to his feet. Janus walks up to Mecca's back and applies an Inverted Facelock. Janus then drops Mecca with a BreakWave, Dorito's signature move. Janus throws himself onto Mecca's shoulders as the ref slides to make the count, 0....1.....2....kickout.
VINNIE: Mecca kicked out! Mecca kicked out of a BreakWave!
Janus this time hooks Mecca's leg and the ref counts again, 0...1....2..shoulder up. Janus slams his right hand against the mat in anger.
SPADES: It's gonna take more than that to beat Mecca.
VINNIE: Mecca's celebrating almost cost him the match.
Janus gets into Mecca's face, grabs the top of Mecca's head by his hair, and pulls up then slams down the back of Mecca's head against the ring mat repeatedly.
VINNIE: Janus is gonna scramble Mecca's brains with this.
SPADES: Speaking of scrambled, how do you like your eggs Vin?
VINNIE: AHHH!
Vinnie ducks under the table while Janus continues to slam Mecca's head against the mat.
SPADES: Don't worry Vin, I don't have any eggs with me, this time, or at least at the moment, hehe.
VINNIE: You're not egging me this Halloween!
SPADES: Cool out Vin, take a chill pill. It's not like you don't have a hundred different rugs in your closet at home.
VINNIE: I uhhhh, uhhh, I don't know what you're talking about.
SPADES: Sure you do.
Janus stops slamming Mecca's head and hooks his leg for another pinfall. The ref slides to check Mecca's shoulders and makes the count, 0....1...2...kickout. Mecca's kickout is so strong that he flips over onto Janus's shoulders for a pinfall. The ref makes the count, 0...1..kickout.
SPADES: That was kinda cool.
VINNIE: What? What was cool?
Both men get to their feet and trash talk each other.
SPADES: Come up from under there. Mecca kicked out, but the force was so strong he rolled onto Janus and got a pinfall attempt.
VINNIE: Oh.
Vinnie climbs out from under the table as Mecca and Janus go fist for fist, punching at each other as if nothing else mattered.
VINNIE: Look at these two men go!
Janus kicks Mecca in the gut which bends him over, and Janus hits Mecca with a loud chop against Mecca's chest. Mecca responds by chopping at Janus's chest. Janus follows up with a violent chop of his own. Both men continue chopping at each other after the other.
VINNIE: This is like a meat chopping contest!
SPADES: No doubt about it. These guys are lighting up the other.
VINNIE: You can just see the blood stains on the mat and their tights are pretty much blood soaked.
SPADES: No kidding. Good thing this is PAY-PER VIEW or this whole match would basically be censored.
Mecca kicks Janus in the mid-section, bending him over for air. Mecca hooks Janus up for the RIOT, but Janus reverses the flow and picks Mecca up for a Fixation except Mecca falls back over the ropes but Janus grabs Mecca's ankles in time. Mecca is upside down looking into the crowd as Janus places his feet over Mecca's arms, applying the Fates of Janus on the ropes! Janus pulls back with all his might trying to get Mecca to squeal.
VINNIE: FATES OF JANUS ON THE ROPES! FATES OF JANUS ON THE ROPES!
SPADES: I've never seen anything like this in my whole life.
VINNIE: There is no way Mecca is getting out of this match as the champion!
SPADES: And just look at the blood flow up his back, and the blood dripping on the mats and soaking into his ratty hair. He could really use a good long bath.
Mecca unhooks his arms from around Janus's feet as the crowd is going nuts. Mecca hooks his arms onto the bottom rope and musters the rest of his strength into his legs. Mecca somehow flips Janus out of the ring with a Reverse Full Nelson Frankensteiner.
VINNIE: How'd he do that?
Janus lands on his feet but immediately drops to his hands and knees on the left outside of the ring as Mecca slides back into the ring. Mecca pushes himself to his feet and whips himself towards the opposite direction of Janus. Janus climbs back to his feet as Mecca bounces off the ropes and comes charging across the ring towards Janus. Janus turns around to see Mecca flip over the top rope with a swanton bomb like maneuver. Janus catches Mecca in the air on his shoulders and falls back, except when Janus stumbles back he hits the left-side wall (if looking towards the ring from entrance way) of the hell in a cell. Janus continues standing up with Mecca on his shoulders, then drops him with a Standing Powerbomb pin.
VINNIE: What a counter!
The referee comes barreling across the ring and steps to the ropes and onto the ring apron. The ref drops to his butt on the apron and then falls off. The ref scurries to check Mecca's shoulders, then drops to make the count, 0....1....2.....kickout.
VINNIE: Mecca kicked out!
SPADES: Of course he did, but it was actually an eight count if the ref just dropped in the ring and counted instead of running to check the shoulders and stuff.
Janus gets to his feet with the referee and yells at him. The ref gets into Janus's face and tries pointing a finger in his face. Mecca gets to his knees behind Janus and low blows him from behind. Janus bends over and turns around to face Mecca. Mecca grabs Janus's face, pulls it close and bites Janus's nose, and holds on. Janus slugs away at the top of Mecca's shoulder and head.
VINNIE: That crazy champ is biting at his opponent's nose! This is truly no holds barred.
SPADES: Next he'll have a nibble of his ear.
Mecca releases his hold and gets to his feet. Mecca grabs Janus's somewhat bloodied hair and pulls him to his feet. Mecca assists Janus into the ring then Mecca reaches under the ring and pulls out another table. The crowd goes nuts as Mecca sets the table up in the front left-side of the cell outside of the ring.
VINNIE: What is Mecca gonna do to Janus now?
SPADES: With Mecca, you can't have a clue what he's thinking. He could be chanting "Kill, kill, kill" or singing the Lollipop song in his head. He's insane and he should be locked up.
Mecca reaches back under the ring as the ref checks on Janus with his excessive blood loss from his back. Mecca stands back up holding a velvet bag and a tin can. Mecca holds the bag up for all to see, then tips it upside down, opening it up and thousands of little shiny objects come pouring out.
VINNIE: Oh my god those are hundreds upon thousands of thumbtacks!
SPADES: No, no no no no. NO! Mecca is going over the edge with this move. What if he put Janus through that table on his back?
VINNIE: I dare not even think about the substantiating pain Janus would be suffering for the rest of his life.
Mecca grabs the tin can, turns it upside down and begins spraying the table top with it.
SPADES: What is he doing now?
VINNIE: I think he's...
Mecca finishes spraying out the whole can and he throws it away. Mecca holds something in his hand and plays with it. Mecca then holds up a lit match for the crowd to see. The fans go nuts the moment Mecca drops the match onto the table. It goes up in flames as Mecca steps away. Mecca rolls into the ring while fans chant "N-C-dub, N-C-dub".
VINNIE: OH MY GOD! FIRE!
SPADES: He's lost it. I know this is no holds barred, the title was simply renamed, but these guys are actually going no holds barred.
Mecca climbs the turnbuckles, in the corner the flaming table is behind, as Janus gets back to his feet. Janus stumbles into the corner Mecca is in and uppercuts him in the groin. Mecca sits down on the top turnbuckle in pain as Janus calls for the Dive Bomber. Janus climbs onto the second rope and hoists Mecca up into the air in a hanging vertical suplex.
VINNIE: This is it. Janus is gonna win the title with a Dive Bomber.
Mecca begins kicking his feet back and forth and he somehow lands on the ring apron in the corner outside the ropes, but the suplex is still held. Mecca then suplexes Janus into the air right in front of the flaming thumbtack-scattered table. Mecca falls back and both men crash through the burning table. The arena goes into a deafening roar as Mecca and Janus roll around on the ground, their blood soaking the ring mats as the fire quickly burns out.
VINNIE: ...
SPADES: I am completely speechless. I'm not sure if I've ever not had anything to say before.
VINNIE: ...
SPADES: Vinnie, say something. This match is the most violent, shocking, electrifying, destructive, hardcore, extreme, dangerous, violent, bloody annihilation of anything I've EVER seen.
VINNIE: ...OH...MY...GAAAWWD!!!
SPADES: About time you said something.
VINNIE: That's it, they're dead. Call the morgue and have the time keeper ring the bell.
SPADES: These men are killing each other for a simple title. If these are the lengths these two men are going to just to have the match of the century, then Janus should just give this up. Loanwolfe has his Intercontinental title that he'll defend tonight against DarkWynd in a ladder match.
VINNIE: Who cares, just RING THE DAMN BELL! Call the paramedics, grab some body bags, dig some graves, and dump the bodies.
The ref slides to the outside to check out the bodies and immediately calls for help. A few paramedics walk out through the entrance way pushing stretchers as the hell in a cell begins to slowly rise.
SPADES: What's going on? Is this match over?
VINNIE: I think it actually is. Janus and Mecca have probably spilled every ounce of blood in thier body and what wasn't spilled was burned. Can you just guess how many thumbtacks are floating around inside their backs?
The hell in a cell stops eight feet off the ground as the paramedics walk toward the absolute carnage. Paramedics carefully roll both men onto stretcher boards and the camera gets a quick glimpse of their tack filled and bloodied backs, arms, and heads. They load them up onto the boards then move them onto the stretchers and wheel them away.
VINNIE: I guess this match has gone to a no contest.
SPADES: No contest? This is No Holds Barred! The match doesn't until there's either a pinfall or submission.
The camera follows the paramedics as they wheel Janus and Mecca through the hallways and to the back.
VINNIE: This is horrifying.
SPADES: Dub the name Halloween Horror.
VINNIE: Yeah, I guess so. It's gonna be hard for any of the following matches tonight, let alone the future of NCW be able to top the violence we've seen.
SPADES: You're telling me.
Mecca and Janus get loaded into the ambulance and the door gets shut. The sirens and lights go off as the ambulance veers away, but the back door opens and Mecca gets thrown to the ground from the moving vehicle. Janus stands in the doorway of the ambulance and he jumps off as the ambulance turns the corner and zooms away. Both men get back to their feet and lunge at each other. Mecca gives Janus a boot to the midsection, then grabs the back of Janus's head. Mecca leads Janus back towards the ring, and they walk through the hallways with paramedics and officials following behind them telling them to go to the hospital. Mecca whips Janus against a concrete wall. Janus spins at the last second and slams against the wall. Janus slowly slips down and sits on his butt, leaving a thick red trail of blood and a couple tacks on the wall. Mecca jumps forward with a falling dropkick to the face of Janus, but Janus turns his body to the left putting himself out of harms way as Mecca dropkicks the wall. Janus climbs back to his feet as Mecca clutches somewhat at his angle, shaking it up to check it.
SPADES: I think Mecca might have hurt himself there.
VINNIE: Maybe, but it looks like he's just shrugging it off.
Mecca gets back to his feet as Janus kicks him in the gut. Mecca drops to one knee to catch his breath as Janus calls for the Dive Bomber once again. Janus sets Mecca up for a vertical suplex, then lifts him up into the air. Mecca's legs hit the ceiling above putting him back down as ceiling tiles break and crash onto the floor. Mecca hooks his leg around Janus's and small packages him. The officials following behind the men refuse to count ordering that Janus and Mecca get taken to the hospital immediately.
VINNIE: Mecca is pinning Janus and these officials won't do a thing about it! They could end this match if they would just count.
SPADES: I've counted to four already, this match could be over. Maybe they're just waiting for the legal ref to show up to count.
Finally one official drops to the ground and counts quick, 0.1.2.kickout. Janus and Mecca get back to their feet and walk down the hallway, Janus slowly chasing after Mecca. They come up to the back entrance of the entrance way when Janus charges at Mecca. Mecca begins to turn around as the sound of roaring comes from behind him. Janus grabs Mecca as he's halfway turned around and hits a sweeping neckbreaker on some power cords which tips over one a high lamp used to light up the hallways. The light tips over and sheers into a power cord. Something sparks and sparks shoot off while a fire begins to break out. Mecca tries getting to his feet when one of his hands touches the cut wire and he starts shaking violently. One of the paramedics cuts the wire at another part as an official puts the fire out with a fire extinguisher.
VINNIE: OH MY GOD! MECCA HAS BEEN ELECTRICUTED!
SPADES: Holy shit! This has really gone too far.
Mecca stops shaking as Janus stands against the wall horrified. Paramedics manage to kill the wires as Janus kicks Mecca in the chest to see if he's still be electricuted and if he's alive. Janus doesn't get fried but Mecca doesn't move.
VINNIE: Oh my...is he even alive?
Janus places his foot on Mecca's chest as a referee drops to make the count, 0..1...2....kickout. Mecca rolls over onto his stomach coughing as officials check to see if he's okay. Mecca pushes them away and tries getting to his feet while yelling at them to go away. Janus applies the Crucifixion onto Mecca and yells at him.
JANUS: Just give it up Mecca! You HAVE to go to the hospital. It's just a title and I WILL give you a shot. Now SUBMIT!
VINNIE: It's all over folks. We're just moments away from crowning a new no holds barred champion.
SPADES: These thousands of fans watching on in the Rosegarden Arena, looking at the Jumbotron, simply waiting for Mecca to quit.
VINNIE: This will be the first time in Mecca's career that he has EVER given up.
SPADES: And what humiliation Janus would bring to Mecca! Forcing to submit live on pay-per view, force him to give up the title that means more than life itself which he has proven here tonight, both men have.
VINNIE: And to a man that he has the utmost respect for, since Janus is Hitmen and Mecca is relatively close with the Hitmen.
Mecca screams in aganizing pain as he searches for a way to get out of the hold, but to no prevail. Mecca looks down and sees the wire that electricuted himself earlier and he bites into it. Mecca gnarls at the wire trying to pierce his teeth through the rubber-like skin surrounding the inner wires.
VINNIE: What on earth is he doing?
SPADES: I think he's trying to...
VINNIE: Don't do it Mecca! It's not worth it!
Mecca apparently splits a wire and he lights up like a christmas tree and so does Janus. Paramedics rush over and cut the wire, killing off the electricity feeding into Mecca and Janus for only a few seconds.
VINNIE: Oh my...
SPADES: That Crucifixion was the TRUE MOST ELECTRIFYING MOVE IN ALL OF SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT!!!
Janus gives a slight moan and drops the hold on Mecca, falling to the side. A female paramedic checks Mecca for a pulse and takes her little portable oxygen tank and places it over his mouth. Mecca coughs as Janus rolls over onto his back. Mecca throws his weight around and one of his arms falls onto Mecca's chest. Officials look on with eyes wide open and their jaws dropped, not moving a single muscle as Mecca has a pinning situation on Janus.
VINNIE: Count damn you! COUNT!
SPADES: This is completely and utterly insane. Someone call the crazy house and get a couple of straight jackets for these guys, get four for Mecca.
VINNIE: Four?
SPADES: One isn't gonna be enough. Two may not be enough. Three may cover it, but four is secure, especially for that lunatic.
The female paramedic yells at one of the referees to count and one of the officials suddenly wakes up and drops to the floor to make the count, 0.......1........2..........kickout.
VINNIE: Was he purposely going that slow?
SPADES: I think he was somewhat still in shock and didn't want to suddenly get fried himself by hitting a wire.
VINNIE: Probably.
Officials help Janus and Mecca back to their feet. Mecca and Janus push them aside and walk towards the entrance way, simply walking off their electricution and not bothering each other as fans cheer like never before.
VINNIE: This place has become a deafening roar simply that these two guys are alive.
SPADES: Vin, how many volts do you think they took? 20,000?
VINNIE: Who knows, I'm being told right now that the power in the locker rooms are gone and in various concession stands due to the cut cord. That's being worked on as we speak.
Janus and Mecca step through the entrance way and the place gets even louder as neither man knows the other beside him while the hell in a cell begins to lower back down to the ground. They stumble towards the ring, but about halfway there Mecca trips over his feet and bumps into Janus, slamming him into the security railing. Janus slumps to the ground on his back, in the middle of the aisle, his back is pure blood and has soaked his tights and changed the color of his hair to red. Mecca looks down at Janus, then at the railing and he calls for the swanton bomb. Mecca jumps onto the security wall and tries keeping his balance, then flies off. Janus seems to know what's going on as he rolls towards the hell in a cell and Mecca falls onto the ground on his neck and back. The force makes Mecca sit up, but he falls back down onto his back. Mecca clutches at his neck as Janus puts his hands on the ground and pushes himself up to his feet. Janus staggers around as the blood in his hair begins streaming down his face. Janus walks over to Mecca as he tries getting to his feet. Janus grabs Mecca's wrist and pulls him up, then whips him towards the cell. Mecca throws on the brakes past Janus and whips Janus into the cell wall. Janus turns in mid-air and his the cell back first. Janus bounces off the cage and rolls a couple feet. Mecca suddenly looks up at the top of the hell in a cell, then back down at Janus who lays on his back in front of the cell a few feet from it. Mecca does his final taunt and walks over to the cell.
VINNIE: He isn't...
SPADES: He's gonna.
Mecca begins scaling the mesh wall not knowing Janus has gotten to his feet behind him. Janus walks towards the cell but grabs some of the barbwire from earlier and begins climbing the wall as Mecca is already about six feet up.
VINNIE: Oh no.
SPADES: I've got a feeling something cool is about to happen.
VINNIE: No, when you get that feeling it means something dangerous is gonna happen. You didn't get that feeling from the flaming table or the barbwired table or the wires. Something really awful is about to happen.
SPADES: Both men going up the wall very slowly, neither of them have much strength left in their bodies, let alone blood.
VINNIE: Who knows what Janus is gonna do with that barbwire. I can bet that this is the scariest match in Halloween Horror history!
SPADES: No kidding. There's never been a match with this much blood, this much carnage, this much extreme measures, and Mecca is finally on top of the hell in a cell.
Mecca walks around looking out into the crowd, then turns around to where he was climbing to do a swanton bomb only to see Janus finish climbing the cell and step onto the top.
VINNIE: This is the first time tonight both of these men have been on the top of the cell.
SPADES: They've gotta be like twenty feet in the air.
Janus gets to his feet and Mecca takes a few steps back as Janus walks towards him. Mecca takes a swing at Janus, but Janus grabs Mecca's arm and takes him down with the Janus Cross-Flash in the barbwire. Janus rips and tears away at Mecca's body and the barbwire begins poking into Mecca's throat and the front of his neck. Mecca screams in pain as a camera man carefully scales the cell wall.
VINNIE: This is horrific!
SPADES: This whole match has been horrific. And we're gonna have some up close footage once that camera man gets to the top.
VINNIE: Can you just imagine what it must feel like to stand twenty feet in the air with no real ground support to hold you? It's gotta feel like you're standing on a high-wire and trying to walk across it at a circus.
SPADES: I wouldn't know, haven't been in a hell in a cell match let alone on top of a hell in a cell. But I guess that's a pretty good assumption.
The camera man finishes scaling the wall and he crawls on the top of the cell to get the first close up shots on top of the cell. Blood slides down his neck from the barbwire poking into Mecca's neck. Mecca grabs some of the barbwire with his free hand and sticks it into Janus's face. Mecca rubs the barbwire in Janus's face, scratching and tearing away at his skin. Janus releases the hold and clutches at his face as he crawls along the top of the cell towards the area above the commentating booths.
VINNIE: I don't like the looks of this.
Mecca slowly and carefully balances his weight as he gets back to his feet. Mecca looks over at Janus about five feet from the edge of the cell and then looks at the support beams on top of the cell. Mecca jumps onto one of the uprising support beams then backflips off of it and hits Janus with a Lionsault. Mecca bounces off of Janus and rolls onto the edge, his right leg even sweeps over the edge. Mecca rolls back and looks down at the ground he almost splattered upon.
VINNIE: He almost went over! If he did went over he would've landed on concrete floor, not a table.
SPADES: That literally would've ended this match.
Both men get back to their feet, Mecca looking over the edge as Janus looks at Mecca. Janus charges at Mecca for a clothesline, but Mecca ducks under it and Janus stops on the edge.
SPADES: Hitting a move like that Lionsault, and any move, on top of the cell won't hurt as much. It would be like giving a DDT to someone on a trampoline.
Janus turns around to get a kick to the mid-section from Mecca. Mecca calls for the RIOT and sets Janus up. Mecca tries executing it but Janus sticks his leg behind Mecca's to block it. Mecca goes for it once again but Janus counters. Janus uses the rest of his strength to pick Mecca up with a vertical suplex, and turn around, but Janus steps on his feet and they come off the top of the hell in a cell. Janus twists himself and Janus around in mid-air and hits the Dive Bomber as they crash through the Spanish Commentators' table. TVs and equipment fly into the air and fall back down as both men are out and Janus lays on top of Mecca's shoulders.
VINNIE: ...
SPADES: OH my...holy crap.
VINNIE: (Joey Styles evil-like) OHHH MY GAAAWD!!!!
The entire arena stands on their feet chanting "Holy Shit, Holy Shit" in unison. Officials and paramedics come soaring down the runway as Vinnie and Spades stare at the carnage and the two men who aren't moving.
SPADES: This is the most incredible match I've ever seen. This was better than everying in NCW's past and better than everything we'll see in the future. This is the new standard for great matches.
VINNIE: I can't believe what I've just seen.
The scheduled ref makes his way around the cell as it begins to rise while the other officials and paramedics wait for the cage to raise so they can get stretchers around the ringside area. The ref for this match sees Janus's pinfall and drops to make the count, 0....1....2...3. He calls for the bell as the entire place is going nuts with excitement.
RING ANNOUNCER: Your winner, and NEW NO HOLDS BARRED CHAMPION...JANUS!!!
VINNIE: It's finally over. Neither of these two men's lives will be the same ever again. Everyone in the locker room and watching on Television are going to give 200% of their respect to both of these men. And we have a new champion.
SPADES: That final shot was amazing. It looked like Mecca was gonna drop Janus with the RIOT, maybe through the table, we don't know. Then Janus counters and tries to maybe suplex Mecca into the middle of the cell, but he trips and is able to make adjustments in the air and nails the Dive Bomber on his third attempt tonight. And you know what they say Vin, third time's a charm.
The cell raises to the ceiling with the camera man still on top of it as paramedics rush around the ringside area and load Janus and Mecca onto stretchers.
VINNIE: They put on what will go down as one of the most dangerous yet exciting matches in NCW and wrestling history, but how much of their lives did they give up? Will they be able to wrestle again? Is this the last time we see Mecca and/or Janus as No Holds Barred champion? Make sure to check out a special Halloween issue of Primetime Tuesday Night this tuesday!
Janus and Mecca get wheeled away as paramedics check to make sure that they're still alive. They rush towards the entrance way and one official grabs the No Holds Barred title and drops it onto Janus's stretcher.
SPADES: These thousands of fans have been standing up since the beginning of this match twenty-some minutes ago, and they're still standing and clapping right now.
VINNIE: No match is gonna be able to top what we've just seen. The only way to show highlights of this match is to watch it in it's entirety.
The paramedics and officials disappear through the curtains and a camera man runs behind them. They rush through the hallways towards the back, even passing a couple wrestlers who stand against walls of hallways the paramedics rush through, just to get a glimpse of them which leave the wrestlers wide-eyed.
VINNIE: This is gruesome. This match makes Extremely Sonic getting run over by a car in his match at Pure Insanity with Chris Freytag, and falling off a production truck and going through the roof of Sun Starr's car, look like a papercut.
The paramedics come up to two ambulances and Janus gets loaded in one, Mecca in the other. The doors get shut and locked and the two ambulances take off with sirens blazing and lights flashing. The camera looks at them turn the corner then flips back to Vinnie and Spades at ringside.
VINNIE: Well that's it, they're both dead.
SPADES: I doubt the ladder match for the Intercontinental title later is going to be able to top this. I doubt any match tonight will be able to top this, except maybe the world title and we have no idea what type of match that's gonna be.
VINNIE: That match just MADE Halloween Horror. We've never had nor seen a match like that. Every Halloween Horror from here on out is gonna have to try and top this. Every pay-per view from here on out is gonna have to try and top tonight.
