OOC: As a result of neither wrestler submitting a strategy, the match
between Judas Cross and Sol has been cancelled.
The first shot is outside the arena, before the opening of the show could air. The scene
sees Super Cupid yelling for help, with Masochrist down on the ground screaming in pain.
Paramedics quickly arrive and load Maso onto a stretcher, and then into an ambulance.
Cupid started into the ambulance but Maso refused, telling Cupid to stay and fight the
match.
MMP Saturday Night Slams is on the air! More than 15, 000 fans are jammed into the
MMP Coliseum for tonight's huge 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 coming to you from the MMP Coliseum for the first
time since WrestleFest, with a very new look growing over the MMP over the past couple
of weeks. Coming off the success of the big two year anniversary show we have had all
kinds of wrestlers from all over the country wanting to try their hand at the action here,
and some of those newcomers will be in action coming up very very soon from what I
understand. Tonight the first of these men will be in the ring as Harold "The Powerhouse"
Nelson makes his MMP debut, taking on the man whose return to the ring was the biggest
story coming out of our event at Madison Square Garden just over a week ago, the former
world champion Captain Patrick O'Conner.
Brewer: It's true, O'Conner's return got a lot of people talking, but two other men that
made headlines at WrestleFest were Death and "Amazing" Andrew Peters. Both men
went into that event as champions, and both were successful in running the gauntlet,
holding onto their respective titles. They also found themselves as the last two men in the
ring at one of the survivor's cup rumbles, with Death coming out victorious and advancing
to the final round. Tonight the two champions will go one on one in our main
event.
Wood: And if you look high above the ring you'll see that steel cage hanging ready to be
lowered down later on tonight as The Congregation, and of course that once again refers
to Super Cupid and Masochrist, not The Ryno and Masochrist, taking on the team of Ace
Manley and the new MMP extreme champion Benjamin Childs. Twisted Steel competes
in his first singles match here tonight against Guru. We kick things off tonight, though,
with what promises to be a very bizarre encounter as The Raggedy Annes, Annie Christian
and Annie Christ, meet one on one with their boss, Controversy, as the special referee.
Let's go to the ring for our opening bout.
ANNIE CHRISTIAN vs. ANNIE CHRIST Special Guest
Referee: CONTROVERSY
"Controversy" by Prince blared over the loudspeakers as Controversy came down towards
the ring, pulling the Raggedy Annes downt he aisle by their ears. Controversy was painted
black and white as always, but this time it was in a pinstripes pattern to look like a
referee's shirt. The trio got in the ring and the match got underway, but not before
Controversy went over to the timekeeper's table and declared that not only would he be
the referee, but that he would also be the official timekeeper and bell ringer. The
timekeeper tried to explain that those two positions were essentially the same, prompting
Controversy to simply toss the man into the crowd and ring the bell to start the match.
Annie Christian was the first man to strike, taking his partner down with a bodyslam.
After executing the move Christian started back towards the dressing room, apparently
thinking he had won the match. Controversy quickly stopped him, trying to explain that
there must be a pin of three seconds in order for the match to end. Christian ran back into
the ring to try and follow up, but he was met immediately with a clothesline from Annie
Christ. Much like his partner had just done, though, Annie Christ stepped through the
ropes to the floor and started back to the dressing room, believing he had just earned the
victory. By this time Controversy was getting frustrated and he stopped Annie Christ as
he had done to Christian and proceeded to give him the same lecture. Annie Christ rushed
back and met his opponent center ring, where the two men engaged in a lockup for the
first time. Christian got the upper hand, lifting Annie Christ in a gorilla press slam and
sending him over the ropes to the floor, where he then attempted to score his first pinfall.
Inside the ring Controversy repeatedly slammed his own head against the turnbuckle in
disbelief, and after a few moments he got down to the floor and ordered both men back in,
grabbing the bell as he re-entered himself. Once the Annes were back in the ring
Controversy slammed both men in the back of the head with the ring bell, knocking the
two big men out cold. The referee got down and made the cover on Annie Christian and
counted the 1...2...3 himself. He then walked over to Annie Christ and did the same thing,
making his own three count as he covered the man. After scoring the second pin
Controversy rang the bell and declared himself the winner before heading back to the
dressing room. Moments later Angel Dust came down to the ring and dragged the Annes
out of the arena.
Wood: Controversy is your winner, I guess, well, no, wait,
maybe...is...
Brewer: Don't bother trying to explain this Wood, this isn't worthy of even your efforts.
You know, I wanted to make a point tonight to mention how happy I was that we have
gone so many weeks now without seeing the CWO on TV. Things were finally starting to
look up...dignity was beginning to rear it's head around here again and then out of
nowhere we get a painted freak bringing two retards to the ring dressed up as Raggedy
Anne dolls. Now we find out that these guys don't even know that you need a three count
to win a wrestling match? This is absolutely absurd.
Wood: You really don't have a sense of humor at all, do you Ray? Well, to each his own I
guess. Our next match is something that fans have been waiting for for many months, ever
since Season's Slayings back in December of 1999. Tonight Captain Patrick O'Conner
returns to the ring as he does battle against one of the new crop of MMP talent, Harold
"The Powerhouse" Nelson.
CAPTAIN PATRICK O'CONNER vs. HAROLD "THE
POWERHOUSE" NELSON
The sold out crowd at the MMP Coliseum gave O'Conner a deafening
ovation as he made his way down to the ring, preparing to step into the ring for the first
time in nearly six months. The Captain looked as though he hadn't lost a step during his
time away, going right after Nelson with a series of hard jabs finished off by a stinging
right cross. Nelson stumbled in a circle, walking right into O'Conner who took his
opponent down with a quick legsweep. O'Conner seemed to be able to ride the
momentum of the crowd through the early part of the match, pulling Nelson up off the
canvas and whipping him hard into the buckle where the Captain crushed "The
Powerhouse" with a huge avalanche just as The Cult Master, flanked by a pair of Cult
minions, came walking slowly down towards the ring. O'Conner looked out and spotted
his longtime rival in the aisle but he didn't let it distract him from the task at hand as he
laid into Nelson with a series of knife-edge chops before grabbing the rookie and
delivering his patented triple suplex combination - a Russian suplex followed by a German
suplex and lastly a hanging vertical suplex. The crowd got to it's feet as Nelson struggled
to get back up with O'Conner standing patiently by, poised and ready for his opponent to
make his move. Nelson was groggy as he moved towards O'Conner, who quickly snapped
the man over with a judo throw that led into the application of the Celtic Cross! Nelson
gave it up almost immediately, giving O'Conner the win in his first match back. The
celebration was short lived, though, as The Cult Master produced a microphone as soon
as the final bell sounded:
Cult Master: A little out of practice, are we O'Connor? 'Tis obvious to all here that you
have some re-training to do before you return to your old form! Something, and GOD
only knows what it could be, has made you a bit, shall we say, RUSTY. But all in due
time, good Captain, all in due time! Until then, know that The Cult Master watches your
every move, your every BREATH, and that I shall soon strike!
Wood: The Captain is victorious here on Saturday Night Slams, and
it hardly looks like he's been out of action at all. He makes quick work of Harold Nelson,
and if I had to guess I would say O'Conner will be back in the world title hunt before very
long.
Brewer: And if you ask me it looks like The Cult Master is eager to have O'Conner come
and take his shot. Look, there's a big difference between beating the likes of Harold
Nelson and beating a Cult Master. If you ignore the drivel he spews, The Cult Master is
actually a very talented competitor, and should prove to be more of a test for the
Captain.
Wood: I would certainly agree with that, but all the signs tonight were that O'Conner is
well on his way back to the top where he once was. Our next contest features two of the
newer talents of the MMP. Guru we have seen in the ring on several occasions, including
a somewhat impressive effort in the survivor's cup rumble at WrestleFest. His opponent,
though, you might say is overshadowed by the boisterousness of his manager Adam
Kogler. Twisted Steel is here tonight, about to make his singles debut here on
SNS.
TWISTED STEEL vs. GURU
With Guru already waiting in the ring, there was a brief silence before
Adam Kogler's voice was heard coming from the back.
Kogler: "I guess you didn't learn your lesson the first time! You see idiots, this is your
classic definition ... of a loooooser. On top of that, he's an unintelligent loser something
I'm sure many of you can identify with. Guru, you could have escaped my wrath two
weeks ago with only minor injuries just by turning your tail and leaving. But no you have
to pollute this arena with your crap music not to mention your very presence. I'm not
gonna have any mercy on you this time, punk! You disgust me, Guru, and the time has
come for you to FEEL THE STEEL!"
"Fucking Hostile" hit, but no one came out from the back. Kogler continued his rant as he
approached the ring, getting almost within Guru's grasp. Just as Kogler started to climb in
the ring Guru slid out to the floor and went right for the obnoxious journalist. He chased
Kogler all the way up the aisle to the curtain when suddenly an arm shot through the
curtain and nailed Guru in the face with a black crowbar! Moments later Twisted Steel
stepped through the curtain, slamming the crowbar down repeatedly into Guru before
passing the weapon off to Kogler and dragging Guru down to the ring. He rolled Guru
under the bottom rope into the ring where he whipped his opponent off the ropes and
nearly took his head off with a devastating clothesline. Guru shot back to his feet, only to
be taken over with a hiptoss. Steel then delivered a somersault legdrop before Guru could
move out of the way before dumping the man through the ropes out to the floor near
Kogler, who had Steel's black crowbar in hand. Kogler slowly moved towards Guru, but
never saw what was happening behind him. The Ryno was making his way towards
ringside through the crowd, arriving right behind Kogler, carrying a crowbar of his own.
Ryno climbed up on the safety rail and waited for Kogler to turn around, and when he did
Ryno jumped off and slammed Kogler right in the forehead with the weapon! He held the
weapon high in the air amidst loud cheers from the fans, but Ryno's celebration was cut
short as Twisted Steel nailed Ryno in the back with a baseball slide under the bottom rope,
sending the man into the safety rail. While on the outside Steel grabbed Guru and
whipped him back into the ring, where he sent the man hard into the turnbuckle. Guru
slammed hard against the corner, but before he could react Steel nailed him right in the
jaw with a running dropkick, snapping the man's head back and causing him to stumble
forward right into Steel's The Living End finisher. Steel made the cover and hooked the
leg for the 1...2...3, scoring the win just as Ryno slid into the ring to try and get at Steel.
Ryno was met with a hard right hand, but he responded with a right of his own. The two
men traded blows back and forth all the way back to the dressing room as Adam Kogler
slowly pulled himself to his feet.
Wood: Twisted Steel dominates in his first one on one match,
defeating Guru with relative ease. Looks like Kogler may have a winner here with this
man.
Brewer: Blah, blah, blah...this Adam Kogler guy gets under my skin more and more every
day. He's a parasite, Wood. He loiters around dressing rooms all over the country trying
to get someone, anyone, to talk to him so that he can post his nonsense on the internet and
claim to be an insider. The fact is this guy makes up about ninety percent of the so-called
news he reports and the rest of it is stolen from other people. His "opinion columns" just
rip on people who can't be bothered with his assinine questions. I'm sure he'll get his in
due time.
Wood: Kogler certainly has made a lot of enemies in his early days in the MMP, and has
several others around the country from what I understand. Well folks, if you look up
above you'll see that the steel cage is lowering into position. It's time for our tag team war
between The Congregation, Ace Manley, and Benjamin Childs. It looks like someone has
already taken out Masochrist, so Super Cupid could end up going it alone. Let's go back
to the ring!
Steel Cage Match BENJAMIN CHILDS & ACE
MANLEY vs. THE CONGREGATION
The Congregation came to the ring first, with Cupid wheeling
Masochrist down the aisle in a wheelchair. Maso was nursing an apparent leg injury with
his leg in a brace. He sat at ringside with a bottle of Southern Comfort in hand as Cupid
entered the cage alone. The opponents then made their way down, Childs wearing the
extreme title belt around his waist and Manley accompanied by his manager "Uncle"
Kenny Taylor. Ace glared over at Masochrist as if he suspected things weren't quite as
they seemed as he stepped into the cage, with his partner following close behind. Ace
walked right up to Cupid and stared the man right in the eyes in the moments prior to the
opening bell. Childs stood back and watched as the two old HWA rivals stared each other
down. The referee called for the bell, but rather than attacking his opponent Ace turned
away from Cupid and ran right for the cage, diving up on the side wall and beginning to
climb right away. Cupid was caught off guard but quickly realized that he could lose the
match if Ace escaped, and he lunged after Manley, trying to grab onto the man's ankle. As
he got hold of Ace's foot Childs nailed Cupid from behind with a big forearm, releasing
Cupid's grip and letting Ace jump off the wall with a flying knee that caught Cupid right
square in the face and sent him flying across the ring. Every shot to Cupid drew a loud
cheer from the crowd. Cupid crawled across the ring and pulled himself up with the aid of
the ropes but Ace was there waiting for him, catching Cupid with a hard right hand and
whipping him across the ring into a big boot from Childs. Ace then reached into his belt
and pulled out a small razor blade. Childs was stomping Cupid into the canvas, but as Ace
walked over he waved Childs aside, insisting that he wanted to be the one to handle
Cupid. He sat Cupid up and, with razor blade in hand, cut a large gash open across
Cupid's forehead, causing blood to run down his face and into his eyes. Ace waited for a
few moments, allowing Cupid's vision to become more and more impaired with the blood
in the eyes before driving Cupid to the canvas with a DDT. Cupid was literally at the
mercy of his two opponents, but on the outside Masochrist was struggling to get up out of
his wheelchair to come to his aid. In the ring things were looking bleak for Cupid. Ace
had dragged Cupid over to the corner and set him on the top turnbuckle, where he
connected with the Manley Neck Drop. On the other side of the ring Childs began to
climb out of the cage, but just as he got to the top and started to descend over the other
side Masochrist pulled a baseball bat out of his leg brace and clubbed Childs in the side of
the knee!! Childs fell off the top of the cage back into the ring, and Maso ordered that the
door be opened. The former world champion climbed into the ring and nailed Ace with
the ball bat, dropping Ace dead in his tracks. Maso then tossed the bat aside and went
after Childs, pulling the extreme champion up off the canvas and delivering the inverted
powerbomb as Cupid, his face soaked in blood, climbed slowly up the cage. Masochrist
stood proudly over Childs waiting as Cupid climbed, but he never saw Ace pulling himself
back to his feet. Cupid continued up the side as Ace grabbed Maso from behind and
delivered a reverse neckbreaker before climbing up the cage himself, on the opposite side
as Cupid. The blood in Cupid's eyes impaired his vision and he didn't see Ace going up
the side of the cage as he dove off and nailed Childs with the Cupid's Arrow. It wasn't
until he hit the canvas that he saw Ace going down the outside of the cage and dropping
to the floor to win the match. Once Ace was down the cage started to rise, allowing
Manley and Kenny to pull Childs out of the ring, away from Cupid and Maso, who were
starting to pull themselves together on the inside.
Wood: Manley and Childs your winners here tonight, and Ray I
would have to deem that something of an upset. Cupid and Masochrist are former tag
team champions, but to my knowledge that was the first time Manley and Childs have ever
formed a tag team combination.
Brewer: Well their little wheelchair stunt backfired on them. It's clear they got the
opportunity they were looking for with Masochrist attacking with the baseball bat while
Childs and Ace had let their guard down, but it didn't work out quite the way they had
hoped.
Wood: We've come now to our main event here on Saturday Night Slams, a champion
versus champion match as the two final men from the Baltimore survivor's cup rumble
meet one on one. It's Death against "Amazing" Andrew Peters next here at the MMP
Coliseum.
DEATH vs. "AMAZING" ANDREW
PETERS
The midwestern champion came to the ring first, accompanied by his
lovely valet Amanda who removed his robe and title belt, taking them down to the outside
as he awaited the arrival of Death. Death didn't waste any time coming to the ring, with
manager Q at his side and the universal belt around his waist. He passed off the belt in the
aisle and ran down to the ring, sliding in under the bottom rope where he laid right into
Peters, hitting the midwestern champion with a pair of stiff European uppercuts. Peters
cut Death's flurry short with a thumb to the eyes, and some solid knife-edge chops backed
the universal champion into the corner. The midwestern champ was all over his higher
ranked opponent, driving repeated kicks into Death's body, driving him down against the
bottom turnbuckle. He then used his foot as an illegal choke, pressing the boot down
across Death's windpipe, pinning the universal champion in the corner. The official began
to administer the five count, but it wasn't until the official physically intervened to pull
Peters off that the hold would be broken. Peters was clearly upset that the ref would dare
put his hands on him, and he let the official know that while Death was pulling himself
together in the corner. As he saw Death getting up Peters moved back in, but the
universal champ had a trick up his sleeve, catching Peters with a drop toehold and driving
him down into the middle turnbuckle. Death quickly shot to his feet and was waiting as
Peters rebounded out towards the middle of the ring, where Death caught the man and
delivered a swinging neckbreaker. The universal champ was changing the momentum
quickly, bouncing off the ropes and delivering a running kneedrop right down to the
forehead of Peters. He then dropped the big leg across Peters' throat and went for the
cover, but he would score only a two count before Peters kicked out. Death didn't let the
kick out bother him and he kept focused on his gameplan, locking Peters in a full nelson to
keep the pressure on Peters. The midwestern champion was held down on the canvas
with Death not letting him get to his feet, thus minimizing his options for attempted
breaks. Slowly, though, Peters started to move, gradually working his way back to a
vertical base. On the final step getting back to an upright position Peters took a few
running steps towards the ropes before dropping to the mat, letting the momentum send
Death through the ropes to the floor, breaking the full nelson in the process. Peters
followed the man out, grabbing the steel ring steps and aiming them right for the forehead
of Death. Death saw him coming at the last minute, though, and delivered a flying back
elbow into the steps, sending them back into the face of Peters and dropping the
midwestern champion to the floor. He then grabbed Peters and rolled the man back into
the ring, but by the time Death was up and ready to follow him in Peters was back to his
feet and ready to cut his opponent off, which he did by driving his shoulder into Death's
midsection as the universal champ tried to step through the ropes. With his opponent
winded Peters hooked the man in a suplex, but rather than bringing him straight into the
ring he used the top rope as a slingshot to put some extra momentum behind the move,
and instead of dropping Death with a typical slingshot suplex he drove Death down with a
brainbuster, using the extra momentum to jam Death's head and neck into the canvas!!
Death grabbed his neck in agony, but rather than going for the cover Peters paced around
the ring, gloating to the fans over his great accomplishment. After several moments he
finally went for the cover, scoring the 1...2...Death kicked out! Peters was furious with the
official for what he perceived as a slow count. With a disgusted look on his face Peters
pulled Death up and whipped him off the ropes, but the whip was reversed and it was
Death sending Peters into the far side. As Peters came back Death scooped him up and
drove him down with a Samoan drop just as Aries started making his way towards the
ring. Death looked out and yelled at Aries to keep his distance, but ultimately kept his
attention focused on Peters. Death pulled Peters up to his feet and went for an inverted
atomic drop, but Peters avoided the contact and rolled through, taking Death over in a
small package for the 1...2...3!! "Amazing" Andrew Peters was announced as the winner,
but he didn't stay around long to celebrate. Once the match was over Aries came running
the rest of the way down the aisle, but luckily for Peters he saw Aries coming. Peters slid
out of the ring, grabbed his title belt, and took off through the crowd as the scene fades to
black.
