(We go backstage to find Calvin Coolman and Corey Lazarus being
congratulated by Quicksilver and Emma.)
(Thunderwolf and Blaze walk into the picture, Blaze on crutches, and they slap
high-fives with Lazarus and Coolman.)
Wolf: Good work guys.
Laz: Thanks, Dustin.
Coolman: Yeah, man.
Wolf: Hey, just remember one thing...all of you...
Quicksilver: What's that?
(Thunderwolf's face goes from showing joy for Laz and Coolman's actions to dead
seriousness.)
Wolf: Don't attack Showtime tonight. I know you guys don't like him, but
Misty and I are raising his daughter. We owe it to him to not hurt him at
all.
Laz: Okay, it's cool.
Coolman: Yeah, man.
Wolf: So, you're ALL cool with that?
Quicksilver: Damn straight.
Emma: Hell yeah.
Wolf: Okay...I'm gonna go get some food right now.
(Thunderwolf and Blaze walk out of the picture, and Emma shakes her head
slowly.)
Emma: Totally clueless as to what's gonna happen.
Laz: Okay...so...here's what we'll do for the main-event...
(The foursome of Emma, Corey Lazarus, Quicksilver, and Calvin Coolman all huddle
in close, and begin whispering to one another. We cut to a commercial break...)
Showtime is introduced first, and waits in the ring for Nightstryker. When Nightstryker is introduced, he doesn't appear. Instead, the words Countdown to Extinction appear on the ADC-Tron.
Winner: Showtime
After the match, Quicksilver, Coolman, and Lazarus rush the ring and attack Showtime.
Rentfro: Hey, Jon, get over it! Life isn't fair! Corey
Lazarus, Calvin Coolman, and Quicksilver obviously have some business to work
out with
Showtime in there!
McDaniel: But Thunderwolf told them not to! Why didn't they listen?!
Rentfro: Earth-to-McDaniel...THEY'RE NOT SLAVES!
(Corey Lazarus finally rolls into the ring, and Coolman and Quicksilver bring
Showtime to his feet. Lazarus is handed a mic by the ring announcer,
as Calvin Coolman and Quicksilver continue to stomp on the downed Showtime.)
Laz: Hey...all of you idiots in the crowd better listen, and listen
closely.
("SHUT THE HELL UP" chants start echoing around the arena, and Laz
just shakes his head.)
Laz: Not a chance in hell, jerk-offs. Anyways...to the point. Tonight, we
just proved to the PWA that the 4 of us are tired of being manhandled and
mistreated backstage. I've been waiting for a push to the big-times for 3 years,
and did I get it yet? NO! Quicksilver has always just been left in
the shadow of his other pals, but has he ever excelled into the realm of
superstardom that he so richly deserves? NO! Calvin Coolman, shown here
stomping the hell out of this bastard named Showtime, is one of the most fresh
up-and-coming stars in PWA history, and do the offices even mention
his name once? NO! And why is that?
(Showtime tries to fight off Quicksilver and Coolman, and is on his knees,
decking Coolman in the gut, but Quicksilver delivers a Tajiri-like buzzsaw
kick to the back of Showtime's head that sends him back to the canvas trying to
protect himself, holding his head at the same time.)
Laz: Yeah...and WHY IS THAT? Well, I can tell you why...BECAUSE WE'RE NOT
ASS-KISSERS! Showtime here kissed more ass backstage than his slutty little
girlfriend has kissed dirty old men on the street corner! He's been kissing ass
since he first arrived on the PWA scene, on the wrestling scene in general, and
the only time he's EVER done work in the wrestling ring that was beyond generic
was in Japan for RJW, but even that work was nowhere near my level! Showtime, I
want you to hear me, and hear clearly.
(Coolman brings Showtime up to his knees, facing Corey Lazarus, and grabs him by
the hair, holding his arm in a chickenwing. Quicksilver locks on a
pressure-point at the back of Showtime's neck, and locks on a chickenwing to
Showtime's other arm.)
Laz: This entire ass-kicking right here was all my idea, pal. I did it
because I'm sick of being compared to a low-life piece of pondscum like you
that ditched his child, his daughter, the first chance he got, to live with a
whore of a girlfriend! And still, even with all of your faults, you're
still considered a better star backstage than me. WHY?! I've proven at each and
every Pay-Per-View that I work harder, that I train harder, and that I've earned
my shot more, paid more dues in 3 months than you've paid in your entire life,
and you're STILL higher on the card and the payroll than me! KISS MY ASS,
SHOWTIME!
(Corey backs up, and delivers a somersault dropkick square to Showtime's nose.
Coolman and Quicksilver release Showtime as he holds his nose, blood gushing out
of it.)
McDaniel: DEAR GOD!! COREY LAZARUS HAS JUST BROKEN SHOWTIME'S NOSE!!
Rentfro: Hey, "The Premiere Attraction" Corey Lazarus will no
longer be the advertisement leading into "The Hollywood Dragon"
Showtime!
McDaniel: WHY, COREY, WHY?!
(Lazarus turns to see Jon McDaniel, and points to him.)
Laz: Why, you stupid retard? I just explained why. Why don't you pay
attention to what us free-thinkers say and not just feed the fans at home
this dribble about the "faces" being the better wrestlers.
(Laz drops the mic, and then spits at McDaniel. Suddenly, "Voices" by
Disturbed begins playing over the PA system. It is only playing for a few
seconds until the main riff begins playing, and Thunderwolf runs down the
entrance ramp. Blaze is going as fast as she possibly can down the entrance ramp
with her crutches. Thunderwolf passes right by Emma, who just looks at him,
shaking her head, and raises her arms up in a "what?" sort of stance.
Blaze reaches where Emma is standing, and pushes her softly into the guardrail.
Emma totally oversells, making it look like Blaze paralyzed her for life.)
McDaniel: Thunderwolf and Blaze are here to save the day!
Rentfro: Dustin...THESE ARE YOUR FRIENDS!
(Thunderwolf rolls into the ring, and Coolman slowly walks over to him.
Thunderwolf begins to lay in some punches, not his strongest but not
particularly weak, and Coolman acts as if he's being hit with Mike Tyson-like
punches every time, eventually doing a semi-backflip and
corkscrewing onto his rear, then rolling out of the ring to a one-knee position
as Blaze hops by on her crutches, pulling up the ring curtain and
grabbing a ladder.)
McDaniel: Yes! Thunderwolf is fending off the pack, no pun intended!
Rentfro: Umm...Jon...
(Thunderwolf begins the laying the same style of punches down on Quicksilver,
who acts as if he's dying with each shot. Silver, too, flips and then rolls out
of the ring. Lazarus goes for slow superkick, and Thunderwolf catches his foot,
spinning him around, and then kicking him in the gut. Thunderwolf locks on a
front facelock, and then yells to the crowd.)
McDaniel: We all know what's coming up here!
Rentfro: Jon...um...buddy...
McDaniel: SHUT UP, BRIAN!
(Thunderwolf delivers a normal DDT to Lazarus, and Laz's head is distinctly a
good 3 inches above the mat, but Corey sells it as if he's been hit with
kryptonite.)
Thunderwolf: WHOOAAAA!!!!
Fans: WHOOAAAA!!!!!
(Wolf gets to his feet, and Lazarus rolls out of the ring, Quicksilver and
Coolman backing up the entrance ramp with Emma in tow, still looking as if
she was almost paralyzed by being pushed into the guardrail.)
McDaniel: Blaze pushes that ladder into the ring!
(Thunderwolf helps Showtime to his feet, and then looks to see if he's alright.
Showtime nods, the blood no longer pouring from his nose, and just
holds his ribs, hunched over a little bit. T-Wolf rolls out of the ring, pulls a
table out from under the ring, and then pushes the table back into the ring.)
McDaniel: Thunderwolf now adding a table into the mix!
Rentfro: Jon...
(Wolf slides back into the ring, and sets up the table. Hopping over to Lazarus,
who is now standing, albeit "dazed" in appearance, Blaze pushes Laz
towards the ring, and Corey responds by rolling in. Thunderwolf walks over to
Lazarus, and brings him to his feet. Thunderwolf lays Corey down on the table,
and begins hitting him with chops to his chest that look almost identical in
impact to the punches he gave to Calvin Coolman and Quicksilver earlier.)
McDaniel: Lazarus is on the table! And Thunderwolf is telling Showtime to
climb up that ladder!
(Showtime looks to the top of the ladder, and then at Thunderwolf. Wolf
continues to tell Showtime to go up the ladder, and Showtime nods. Showtime
slowly begins going up the ladder, and reaches the 4th rung from the top in a
few seconds. Suddenly, Lazarus sits up from his laid-out position on the table,
and then stands up on the mat. Thunderwolf laughs, and then delivers an uppercut
to Showtime.)
McDaniel: No! No no no no!!!
Rentfro: I tried to warn you, Jon...
McDaniel: Like hell you did, Brian!
Rentfro: Hey, those "punches" Wolf gave Coolman and Quicksilver
were extremely weak, and that "Cry Of The Wolf" he gave Lazarus was
nothing but a bad DDT.
McDaniel: I never saw this coming from a mile away! Don't do it, Wolf,
don't do it! You're raising this man's daughter!
(Thunderwolf climbs up the other side of the ladder, and locks Showtime in a
front facelock. Wolf looks up to the heavens, and smiles sadistically.)
Thunderwolf: CRY OF THE WOLF!!!!!
(Lazarus walks around to the other side of the ladder, and Coolman, Quicksilver,
and Emma all slide into the ring and stand up next to Lazarus.
Thunderwolf grabs the waist of Showtime's tights, and lifts him up. Wolf then
jumps off to the side of the ladder, held up straight by Lazarus and
Coolman, and delivers the Cry Of The Wolf to Showtime through the table.)
Fans: BOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
(Lazarus sets the ladder down on the mat, "folding" it back up, and
then helps Thunderwolf to his feet. EMTs rush down the ramp with a gurney and a
stretcher, and roll the gurney to the side of the ring where Showtime's
unconscious body lies in the ring. Thunderwolf, holding his lower back,
raises a fist in the air, the expression of pain from the table all over his
face. Lazarus holds Wolf's arm into the air, and Quicksilver rolls out of
the ring, picking up Blaze, and then rolling her into the ring. Coolman helps
Blaze to her feet, holding her still as Quicksilver slides back into
the ring and hands her the crutches. Blaze stands up with her crutches, and all
6 people in the ring hold up a fist with 4 fingers extended. Calvin
Coolman, Corey Lazarus, Emma, Quicksilver, Blaze, and Thunderwolf. The IV logo
flashes over the TV screens across the homes of America, and then back to the
shot of the ring. The scene slowly fades to black...)
Ty Copas starts off with a series of suplexes, catching Collins off guard. Marcus Collins fights back, and gets the advantage when he is able to counter a body slam with a small package for a two count. Marcus Collins gets to his feet first, a nearly takes off Ty Copas's head with a clothesline. A power bomb gets a two count for Marcus Collins. A second powerbomb attempt gets reversed into a back body drop by Ty Copas. Ty Copas gets behind Marcus Collins and locks on a sleeper hold. Marcus Collins starts to fade, but starts to fight back, and Ty Copas picks him up by his head in the sleeper and turns it into an atomic drop. Marcus Collins staggers and Ty Copas goes up top for a flying cross body. Marcus Collins catches him, pivots Ty Copas's body and hits a powerslam for 3.
Winner: Marcus Collins
(The bell rings, and the match has finished. Marcus Collins is
handed the IC title, and holds it high into the air. Suddenly, Quicksilver and
Calvin
Coolman run out from behind the entrance curtain and run down the entrance ramp,
each wielding a steel chair. Marcus Collins has his back to them,
holding the title and facing the audience seated behind Jon McDaniel and Brian
Rentfro.)
McDaniel: Turn around, Collins, turn around!
(Collins backs up, and lowers his arm. His head is then sandwiched in between
the two steel chairs held by Quicksilver and Calvin Coolman.)
Rentfro: Con-Chair-To! I LOVE IT!
(Coolman and Quicksilver give each a high-five, yell the word "YES!"
simultaneously, and then slide out of the ring, casually walking back up the
entrance ramp.)
The three men meet in the middle of the ring and face off. Suddenly, Ultros and Convict team up against Tidwell and beat him to the mat. Ultros pulls Tidwell to his feet and the Convict hits the Jail Breaker on him. Now, Convict pulls Tidwell up and Ultros hits the Ecstasy of Gold and pins Tidwell. 1...2...3. After the match, Convict raises Jimmy's arm and they leave together.
Winner: Jimmy Ultros
Brian Rentfro: Our first match of the evening may not even be a real match. Quicksilver has already gotten under the new President's skin, and as payment... he's booked Quicksilver against The Krymson Dragons.
Jon McDaniel: Facing Raizzor or Chamelion alone is tough enough for most PWA Superstars, but Quicksilver is untested.
Brian Rentfro: Oh, he's definetly going to be tested now.
Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a special Handicap match! Introducing first, Quicksilver.
[The sound of an F-16 fighter jet taking off mixed with the blaring of a taxi cab horn blaring are heard as Biohazard from Battlebots comes onto the top of the ramp. Its lifting arm raises and has a small pyro gun on it. It fires 4 silver pyros into the air as "You Could Be Blind" blares over the PA system. Quicksilver emerges wearing a silver bandana, chrome shades, and a silver jumpsuit. He turns to both sides of the crowd riling them up as they go nuts for him chanting "Silver Rush, Silver Rush". He struts down the ramp to the ring and then leaps over the ropes into it. He pulls a piece of cardboard out of his pocket which has the name of his opponent on it in black market. He then proceeds to use it to breakdance as silver pyros go off from every post in the ring. The music and pyros stop as he throws his shades and cardboard into the crowd.]
Ring Announcer: And his opponents, at a total combined weight of 530lbs, Raizzor... Chamelion...The Krymson Dragons.
[The arena goes dark, and the lights flicker for a few seconds.. then pyros go off on stage as 'Instruments of Destruction' flares up over the loudspeakers. A single spotlight illuminates the entrance ramp as Raizzor and Chamelion enter the stage. The crowd is on their feet, as the two men make their way down to the ring. As Chamelion slides under the bottom rope, Raizzor steps over the top, and the two men mount the turnbuckles and raise their fists to the crowd.]
Brian Rentfro: The Dragons put on a hell of a show Saturday with the Brothers Grimm!
Jon McDaniel: The PWA is still in shock with what Mack Moran did... there's still alot to cover on this new twist in the PWA.
[The bell rings and The Dragons move in on Quicksilver who rolls out of the ring, eliciting boos from the crowd. Chamelion smirks wickedly and rolls out after him. Quicksilver takes off in a run around the ring, with Chamelion in hot pursuit. Meanwhile, inside the ring, Raizzor just stands there, watching. Quicksilver then tries to run up the ramp to get away, but the crowd goes nuts as Panzadise walks out.]
Brian Rentfro: Quicksilver thought he could just get away, but it looks like Dise wants to see some action here as well.
[Quicksilver holds up his hands, and Chamelion comes up behind and grabs Quicksilver by his hair, and drags him back to the ring. Chamelion throws Quicksilver inside, and Silver jumps to his feet, screaming at Chamelion over the top rope. Chamelion jumps up on the apron, and Quicksilver backs up, still yelling.. until he bumps into Raizzor, who is standing in the center of the ring, bemused. Quicksilver turns, eyes wide, and Raizzor grabs him by the throat. The crowd erupts as Raizzor chokeslams Quicksilver to the canvas.]
Jon McDaniel: This could be quicker then we thought.
[Raizzor and Chamelion circle Quicksilver as he tries to get himself back up. Chamelion then taps Raizzor on the shoulder and says something to him. Raizzor nods and backs up to the ropes, and falls backwards out of the ring.]
Brian Rentfro: Is Raizzor leaving his brother?
[Raizzor walks around to one of the corners and just stands there, quietly as Chamelion grabs Quicksilver and pulls him to his feet. Chamelion drives his elbow into Silver's face, driving him back to the ropes. Chamelion then whips Silver across the ring and connects with a strong dropkick. Chamelion then drops and elbow down into his chest. Jumping back to his feet, Chamelion pulls Silver up... but Silver drives his fist into Chamelion's stomach. With Chamelion doubled over, Silver DDT's him down to the canvas. Silver then stomps on Chamelion.]
Jon McDaniel: I don't know if this is a good idea on the part of the Dragons. Goth has given them a basic gift here to work together, but their taking turns, I guess.
[Silver pulls Chamelion up and bodyslams him to the mat. Quicksilver then climbs the corner turnbuckle, preparing for an arial assault, but Raizzor grabs the ropes and shakes them. Silver loses his balance and lands hard on the ropes.]
Brian Rentfro: OUCH!
[Silver drops to the canvas, crumpled up in pain.. as Raizzor steps into the ring to check on his brother. Raizzor kneels and the two converse, not paying attention as Silver climbs painfully to his feet. Silver raises his fists for a double axe-handle. Raizzor has pulled Chamelion up and then he steps aside and Chamelion charges and spears Quicksilver, taking them both hard to the mat. Chamelion starts wailing away on Silver, but Silver reverses and starts slamming his fists into Chamelion. Raizzor calmly walks up, grabs Silver by the hair, but Silver is aware, and elbows Raizzor in the stomach. Raizzor stumbles back, and Silver drop kicks him down. Quicksilver then bounces off the ropes and goes for a leg drop, but Chamelion races in and Clotheslines Quicksilver down. Raizzor sits up, and then climbs to his feet. The Dragons pick up Quicksilver and whip him to the ropes. A double clothesline later and Quicksilver is back down on the canvas. ]
Jon McDaniel: I think the Dragons have decided to get down to business.
[The Dragons pull him back up, and go for another whip. This time tho, Quicksilver ducks and comes back, and connects with a double clothesline on the Dragons!]
Brian Rentfro: Incredible!! Quicksilver returned the favor on the Dragons.
[Quicksilver stomps on Raizzor, then turns and delivers the same to Chamelion. Both Dragons are able to get back up and Raizzor blocks a punch, returning one of his own. Quicksilver stumbles backwards, turning to get a punch from Chamelion. Back and forth, Raizzor and Chamelion play ping pong with Quicksilver before a hard right hand from Raizzor sends Quicksilver down. Raizzor gives Chamelion the thumbs up, and Chamelion climbs to the top rope. Raizzor pulls Quicksilver up, and sets him up into the "Last Ride' Powerbomb. Raizzor holds him high and Chamelion spears Quicksilver from above, crashing them both to the canvas. Chamelion rolls away in pain as Raizzor drops and makes the cover... 1....2.....3!]
Jon McDaniel: Well, this one's over. Quicksilver actually stood his ground and got in some good moves... and it's no shame to lose to both the Dragons at one time.
Brian Rentfro: I agree, this just wasn't Silver's night from the beginning.
[Raizzor and Chamelion stare at Quicksilver for a few moments, and then they leave the ring, and head back up stage.]
Jon McDaniel: What a night this is going to be, if this match was any indication. Medics are double checking on Quicksilver, and we're out of time. See you all this Saturday at Rampage!
