NOTE: As a result of neither wrestler sending in a strategy, the
scheduled match between Baital and Mr. Beumont has been cancelled.
MMP Saturday Night Slams is on the air! More than 15, 000 fans have packed the MMP
Coliseum for tonight's event. Commentators Jerry Wood and Ray Brewer are at
ringside.
Wood: Welcome, everyone, to MMP Saturday Night Slams! I'm
Jerry Wood alongside Ray Brewer live at the MMP Coliseum, bringing you the final MMP
card before we head to Seattle to kick off WrestleFest in a little over a week's time. We
have five big matches signed for tonight, not the least of which is our handicap match main
event pitting two of the world title challengers coming up next week on pay per view
teaming up to battle one man. That man is the reigning MMP universal champion, Death,
who will go one against two with the new team of Virus Richards and Psychotic Sam.
This alliance between Richards and Sam is more than a little unusual, but if they can
function as a unit they could very well prove to be an insurmountable challenge for the
universal champion.
Brewer: We've also got a small preview of the upcoming tag team championship series as
the two top contenders, The Congregation and The Front Line, meet up in the ring here
tonight. This will be an important momentum builder for both teams. The Congregation
will be looking for their first victory as a duo, while this will be, at least to my knowledge,
the first time that Masked Man X and The Cloaked Shroud have EVER teamed up. These
teams could very well meet on June 1 for the tag team titles, and tonight could give us an
indication of exactly what the chances of these two teams are come WrestleFest.
Wood: Several of the new talents around here are also getting a chance to shine before we
head to the MMP's two year anniversary card. "Atomic Thunder" Wade Grayson, who
has made quite an impression in his early weeks in the MMP, takes on Benjamin Childs in
singles competition, and we are also expecting to see the in-ring debut, yes IN RING
DEBUT of controversial wrestling columnist Adam Kogler who is set to take on Guru.
We kick things off tonight with Jo Roberts in action, looking to exact revenge on the man
he feels cost him a chance to go to WrestleFest, the man known as Lexus. Let's go to the
ring here on Saturday Night Slams!
JO ROBERTS vs. LEXUS
Lexus made his way down to the ring after Jo Roberts had already
made his entrance, and the newcomer wasted little time going right after his adversary.
He raked Roberts across the eyes and backed him into the corner before a running
clothesline from Lexus sent Roberts up and over the top rope to the floor. Lexus
followed the man out, slammed Roberts into the post, and sent the man under the bottom
rope back into the ring where he set Roberts on the top rope and delivered a superplex.
Lexus was in total control of the match, pulling Roberts back to his feet and delivering a
Death Valley Driver before making the cover to get the 1...2...3.
Wood: A dominating performance by Lexus, catching, I would think,
most observers by surprise at the ease with which he handled Jo Roberts.
Brewer: Some yes, some no. Roberts has never had a lot of direction, and he seems to be
more preoccupied with his former flunky Chedda Cheese than with anyone in the MMP.
If you ask me he was prime for the picking, and Lexus took full advantage.
Wood: So Lexus picks up the victory here tonight, marking down one victory for the
newcomers over a longstanding competitor in Jo Roberts. Could that be a sign of things
to come in our next match? "Atomic Thunder" Wade Grayson looks to continue his
winning streak, but standing in his path is one of the most accomplished wrestlers in the
MMP, a former multiple time champion in Benjamin Childs.
BENJAMIN CHILDS vs. "ATOMIC THUNDER" WADE
GRAYSON
With Grayson already waiting in the ring, Benjamin Childs made his
way down the aisle, carrying a steel chair wrapped in barbed wire which Brewer and
Wood announced was to be Childs' "weapon of choice" on the first day of WrestleFest in
the extreme championship series. He set up his customary table on the outside before
rolling into the ring, where he immediately attacked Grayson with a series of right hands
that backed the newcomer into the corner. A hard left completed the series, and snapped
Grayson's head back against the buckle. Childs picked the man up and dropped him throat
first across the top rope, sending Grayson falling backwards head over heels. He then
mounted his downed opponent and simply started choking Grayson with his bare hands.
The referee quickly intervened and ordered the break and Childs, not wanting to go into
WrestleFest on an losing note, agreed to release the hold and pull Grayson back to his
feet. He whipped "Atomic Thunder" across the ring into the far corner and charged in
with an avalanche, but Grayson stepped out of the way and Childs landed hard, chest-first
against the top turnbuckle. Grayson took full advantage of the miscue, knocking Childs to
the canvas with a hard running clothesline. He then pulled Childs up and delivered a hard
kick to the midsection, doubling Childs over and allowing Grayson to deliver a series of
elbowsmashes to the back of the head. From there Grayson pulled Childs over to the
corner and slammed him head first into the buckle before backing up to the far side and
charging in with a flying back elbow. The elbow struck Childs right across the jaw,
sending the former universal champion into a daze and enabling Grayson to apply an
abdominal stretch. He kept the hold applied for several moments, but as the crowd started
to rally behind Childs the former extreme champion reached down deep and broke the
hold, sending Grayson over with a hiptoss. "Atomic Thunder" rebounded to his feet
quickly, but he walked right into Childs who picked the man up with a two-handed
chokehold which he quickly turned into a chokeslam. Childs then made the cover, but
Grayson kicked out after only a two count. Grayson wasn't in the clear, though, as Childs
quickly pulled the newcomer up and positioned him for a powerbomb, carrying him over
towards the ropes to drop him on the table on the outside. At the last minute, though,
Grayson escaped, landing on the ring apron. Before Childs could react Grayson grabbed
the man by the back of the head and pulled hard down, snapping Childs' throat off the top
rope. Childs fell back into the ring and Grayson soon re-entered himself, waiting for
Childs to get to his feet and then nailing him with a hard forearm smash to the head and a
belly to belly suplex. Grayson was in total control late in the match, and finally he pulled
Childs up for his patented spinning powerbomb. Before Grayson could get the big man
up, though, Childs delivered a low blow, causing Grayson to release his grip. While the
newcomer was doubled over Childs grabbed the man and delivered the Childs Play
running powerbomb! Childs then made the cover to score the three count.
Wood: Benjamin Childs puts an end to the brief winning streak of
Wade Grayson, who must now regroup in a hurry if he's to challenge Destroyer for the
TV championship coming up on the PPV. We have yet to see how Grayson responds to
defeat, and that test couldn't come at a worse time for "Atomic Thunder".
Brewer: This would also seem to fuel the speculation about Childs' chances at success in
the extreme title series. Some backstage are thinking he could be one of the favorites to
come away with the soon-to-be vacated championship, although one might argue that if
Childs has this kind of difficulty with a newcomer he might not be able to handle three
superstars the calibre of Crimson, Ryno, and MMX on consecutive days.
Wood: We're ready now for the wrestling debut of infamous wrestling columnist Adam
Kogler, who appeared at Hardcore Saturday Night last week on Long Island and had
some extremely unflattering things to say about his first exposure to the MMP. Several
superstars stepped up to the company's aid, and Guru, a newcomer, even offered to meet
Kogler in the ring to settle this issue. That match is next here on Saturday Night
Slams.
ADAM KOGLER vs. GURU
With Guru already waiting in the ring, a prolonged silence filled the
arena, leading the announcers to speculate that Kogler hadn't shown up. They said that no
one had seen him backstage all day, but suddenly a voice could be heard coming from the
back.
Voice: "Guru, Guru, Guru!"
Kogler finally came to the ring, being booed loudly by the fans.
Kogler: "Ah, Guru you must be stupider than you look. I wouldn't miss this for the
world. I am going to prove to you, and all these half-wit MMP fans, what I've been saying
for the past week: MMP SUCKS, and so do you! You will never be worth anything in this
business! You are a loser, a deadbeat, a f*cking JOBBER! Look at me I'm a lover, not a
fighter. You have me by about 6 inches and 80 pounds and that STILL won't keep you
from getting the sh*t kicked out of you. You are garbage Guru, and so is the music you
represent. It's about time you got a little taste of Rock and Roll! You-"
As Kogler turned to rip even more on the fans, Guru grabbed him and and pulled him into
the ring. After delivering a series of hard right hands Guru connected with a clothesline
that sent Kogler over the top rope to the floor, much to the delight of the sold out crowd.
Out on the floor Guru pulled Kogler up and delivered a swinging neckbreaker before
slamming the loud-mouthed reporter into the ringpost and rolling him back in under the
bottom rope. Kogler struggled to get to his feet Guru climbed to the top rope, preparing
to deliver the Bow Down just as an unidentified man came running in through the crowd.
The man, wearing shiny black pants and a leather vest was identified as MMP newcomer
Twisted Steel by the fact that his name was written across the back of the vest in shreds of
silver. He reached up and nailed Guru across the back of the head with a black crowbar,
causing the referee to call for the bell and declare a disqualification. Steel continued to
hammer Guru, busting the man open as Kogler slowly crawled over to grab the mic
again.
Kogler: (Breathing heavy) "Yeah! Yeah, Guru, how do you like that? How the hell do
you like that? You see, as powerful as I am, I cannot take down the MMP by myself. I
MORE than possess the brains, but I'm lacking in the brawn. That's where this man comes
in. You see, I met this man months before I came to MMP last week. He was training to
become an MMP superstar. He had the look, and as you can plainly see he has the ability.
But he didn't get a contract. You know why? The BRASS told him that he didn't have
personality! He didn't have attitude! He didn't have a gimmick! Well, I say to the MMP,
you can take your gimmicks and cram them up your ass! I now control this man's destiny,
and I have enough attitude for the both of us! He'll show the MMP what a dire mistake
they made. So to everyone in the back, let me warn you that you are all on notice. The
MMP will soon cease to exist. And it will die a slow, agonizing death at the hands of
myself and TWISTED STEEL!"
Twisted Steel then pulled Guru up and delivered The Living End before walking out with
Kogler, leaving Guru in a pool of his own blood.
Wood: I knew Kogler was up to something! There's no way he could
have expected to hang in an actual match against a trained, talented wrestler like Guru. It
looks like he's pulled the wool over everyone's eyes with the debut of Twisted
Steel.
Brewer: You know, for all the yelling and screaming Kogler does, some of what he has to
say has merit. I don't like seeing jobbers wrestling hobos on wrestling shows, either. It
disgraces the business having people like Mr. Beumont running around an MMP ring.
Kogler needs to realize, though, that being mentioned on MMP for two weeks in a row is
better exposure than he could ever generate with his little internet column. If he's smart
he'll watch his mouth so that the suits don't just decide to ignore him. I don't know if his
career could take it.
Wood: I'm not getting involved in this argument. I'm proud to be an employee of the
MMP, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. Mr. Kogler has his. I don't have to agree
with it, but he has a right to express it. We're set for tag team action coming up next. The
Congregation meets The Front Line here on SNS.
THE CONGREGATION vs. THE FRONT
LINE
The Front Line came to the ring first, accompanied by both Mighty
Midget and Lady Enigma. As they arrived at the ring, though, they were ambushed by
The Congregation, who came out from under the ring wielding fire extinguishers!! Ryno
and Masochrist sprayed MMX and Shroud in the face with their extinguishers before the
Line could react, blinding both men long enough to fully climb out from their hiding spot.
Ryno then grabbed MMX and whipped him hard into the steel steps while Masochrist
picked the dazed Shroud up on his shoulders and tossed him like a dart into the ring post,
slamming Shroud's shoulder hard against the steel. He then rolled Shroud in under the
bottom rope while Ryno remained on the outside with MMX. Just then the fans started to
part as Super Cupid made his way through the crowd, taking up a seat in the front row,
watching on as Ryno sandwiched MMX's head between the post and the ring steps and
kicked the steps against the man's head, crushing it against the steel. In the ring
Masochrist rushed Shroud with a lariat, but the masked man ducked and countered with a
running shoulder tackle that staggered Maso back towards the ropes. Shroud then
delivered a hard forearm to the chest before snapmaring Maso over and applying a rear
chinlock, allowing Shroud to catch his breath while wearing Maso down at the same time.
After a few moments The Ryno, seeing that Shroud had taken over control of the match,
climbed up into the ring and tried to break up the hold, but Shroud released the hold on
his own and turned to deliver a dropkick to Ryno. Ryno tumbled out through the middle
ropes and Shroud turned back towards Maso. By this time Maso was to his feet, but that
didn't turn Shroud away. The masked man ran towards his larger opponent to get some
momentum behind his attack, but Maso caught him coming in and delivered a punishing
powerslam. Ryno hopped up into his corner and reached out to make the tag. He came in
the ring and came at Shroud with a spear, but the masked man stepped out of the way,
sending the man shoulder first into the middle turnbuckle. Both Ryno and Shroud were
down, struggling to make it to their respective corners. Ryno made the tag first, and
Shroud make the exchange with MMX, who by then was anxious to get in the ring, soon
after. MMX ran in and caught Maso with a clothesline, and then delivered a second
clothesline to Ryno, sending the man down off the apron to the floor. Shroud tried to get
back into the action but the referee was there to cut him off, trying to usher the man out to
the apron. While the ref's back was turned Ryno slid back into the ring, though he wasn't
the only one. Right behind Ryno was Super Cupid, who was carrying a steel chair. Cupid
positioned himself behind Masochrist and waited for the man to turn around, and when he
did Cupid swung right for the man's head. Maso saw him in time, though, and ducked out
of the way of the chair shot...causing it to connect across the back of Ryno. Ryno went
down hard, landing him right at the feet of MMX. Ignoring the fact that his partner was
down Masochrist chased Cupid out of the ring and all the way back to the dressing room.
With Ryno laid out in front of him MMX simply looked over at his tag team partner
before pulling the man up and delivering the X-Plex. Shroud directed the ref back to the
match where he counted the three on Ryno, giving the win to The Front Line.
Wood: The Front Line are your winners, but not without a little
outside interference on the part of Super Cupid. It sure looks like Super Cupid is taking
issue with Ryno and Masochrist using the name that he claims he made famous.
Brewer: Well, I have to be honest, when Cupid first came into the MMP he brought the
Congregation name with him. Frankly, Ryno and Masochrist haven't been very succesful
with that name. Cupid feels slighted by it. I'm not going to get involved in their little tift,
but I do see where Cupid is coming from.
Wood: And let's not forget that we could well see a return match between these two teams
on the final day of WrestleFest. If Masochrist and Ryno can win the tag team
championship on May 31 they will have a defense against The Front Line on the final day
of the event, and perhaps we would see a clear, decisive winner between these two duos.
It's main event time here on SNS, the handicap match is up next!
Handicap Match VIRUS RICHARDS & PSYCHOTIC
SAM vs. DEATH
The first man introduced was Psychotic Sam, who came to the ring
with Havoc, Mike the Giant Retard, and Mr. Beumont. Once he arrived at the ring, Sam
demanded a mic:
Psychotic Sam- Everyone please be quit. I would at this moment in time being the King
of Spain Like to thank the Great Duke of wales Virus Richards for helping my great
country in getting me the title shot I so long have desered. Now please except this great
gift From spain. Will everyone please rise and stand for the Wales National
Antheam.
Sam was cut short as Virus' entrance music played over the loudspeaker, introducing the
extreme champion as Mike waved the Wales flag in the ring. Virus cliimbed the steps and
entered the ring to stand beside The Family. As soon as he stepped through the ropes,
though, Death and Q came through the crowd. Death reached in under the bottom rope
and pulled Virus' feet out from under him, straddling him around the steel ring post.
Death then slid into the ring and went for Sam as the other members of The Family got
down to the floor to hassle Q. Mike asked Q if he could go to his office to use the
internet and Beumont asked him for change. Q quickly turned away from the duo, but
walked right into Havoc, who applied his old Saint finisher, the Hand of God. Death
turned momentarily when he saw what was happening to Q, allowing Sam to take him
down with a running clothesline. He then began stomping on the universal champion as
Virus finally started to pull himself to his feet. Virus joined Sam in pounding on Death,
kicking him into the canvas and screaming at Death that this is what happens to people
who try to jump him. The two world title contenders pulled Death up off the mat and
whipped him to the ropes, catching him on the rebound with a hard double clothesline.
Sam stepped out to the apron and Virus took over the match, pulling Death up to his feet.
Before Virus could get a shot in, though, Death nailed the extreme champion with a low
blow, causing Virus to fall to his knees. Death hurried over to the corner and hopped up
to the second turnbuckle, where he waited for Virus to get to his feet. Virus got up and
Death dove off with a flying clothesline, nearly taking Richards' head off his shoulders. He
then pulled Virus up and set him up for a piledriver, but before he could get Virus up Sam
rushed into the ring and caught Death with a flying bodypress. Sam tried to make the
cover, but since he wasn't the legal man in the ring the ref refused to count. While Sam
was arguing with the referee Death shoved Virus away and raked Sam's eyes before
delivering a dropkick that sent Virus out to the floor. Death shot back to his feet but Sam
was all over him, tackling Death to the canvas and proceeding to bite the universal
champion's ankles. The official started his count and finally forced Sam to break, but
when he finally did let up Mr. Beumont had crawled into the ring, asking Death if he had
any empties he could have to cash in. While the referee was preoccupied with Sam and
Death was distracted by Beumont, Virus slid into the ring with his extreme championship
belt and nailed Death across the back of the head. Death went down like a ton of bricks,
and Virus quickly tossed the belt aside to avoid a disqualification. The ref turned to face
Virus, who shoved past the official to tell Sam that he just heard that Death was planning
to implement a trade embargo against Spain's wooden toilets. Sam snapped, running
around the ring screaming before pulling the unconscious Death up off the canvas and
delivering the Psychotic Smash. As soon as Death's head struck the canvas Virus came off
the top rope with the frog splash, covering him for the 1...2...3. Sam, still enraged by
Virus' accusation, jumped on Death and started slamming Death's head off the canvas as
the screen fades to black.
