Psycho Sandra vs. Michael Hardcastle

DING, DING

Rentfro: Finally that monstrosity of a match is starting…WHOA HOLDS ON NOW!

McDaniel: IT’S THE MASTERS OF ARMAGEDDON!!

[From over the railing Darren Ridel, holding a bat, and Nightstryker, Silverback, and Matt Attict, holding chairs, flood into the ring. The two weary wrestlers, Psycho Sandra and Hardcastle, at the rings center are left with little time to react as the hammer falls…]

Watas: Hey now! Darren Ridel and Matt Attict with a double shot from a chair and a baseball bat on Sandra sending her head over heels! Ouch that hadda hurt!

McDaniel: Hardcastle’s no better off as Stryker and Silverback power him down to the canvas with chair shots, and now start to stomp away! This is despicable! And I think the fans agree.

Rentfro: I love this… Finally something exciting.

[As Stryker and Silverback continue to work over Hardcastle…Attict and Ridel further their attack on Sandra…Dropping chair shot after chair shot onto her face…body…legs…a total body work out. The fans roar in protest…]

Rentfro: These fans don’t know great entertainment when they see it!

Watas: Heh…look at Sandra’s head bounce off that chair…geh.

McDaniel: You’re both sick!

[Suddenly Darren Ridel holds up a hand, and the attack on Sandra and Hardcastle comes to an abrupt stop…Breathing heavily, the signs of his laborious existence of the last two-months apparent, he makes a slow circle looking the crowd over…]

[Reaching into a pocket of his black, leather, trench coat he produces a wireless mic…]

McDaniel: I just noticed now that Nick Ridel is missing from the group.

Rentfro: Well hey with Darren now calling the shots again I think Nick is trying to put a lot of distance between himself and his little brother.

[Finding a camera, Darren, focuses his attention on it…His expression is emotionless and cold…]

Darren Ridel: That one was for you, Mark.

[The mic is switched off and dropped back into his jacket pocket as he starts to move to the rings edge…A roar of thunderous boos escort him and the rest of the M.o.A out of the ring…]

McDaniel: All of that just to take a shot at Chamelion who doesn’t even work for the PWA anymore?

Rentfro: Yeah…I’d have to agree that that was really a waste of Ridel’s time, but hey at least that broad was put in her place.

Watas: Got a point there.

McDaniel: -sigh- We’ll be right back after these coommercials.

Backstage...

(Backstage we see President Robinson's new office in the W4F Arena. Chamelion walks in.)

Chamelion: Rob, good to see you again.

President Robinson: You're here to gloat, so let's get it over with. You've got my PWA Dome, you've got the ADC support and the prime time television show, I'm running the PWA out of your basement. So, go on, say what you have to say and get out.

Chamelion: It isn't like that at all. I'm here to help out. See, in the W4F we've got some great new talent, and well...your roster is a bit thin at the moment. So here's my offer. If you'd like, I'd be willing to send a couple of guys your way for a show or two every so often. In return, some of your guys can fight on my show. Its a win/win situation.

President Robinson: I...I'll have to talk to Mack about this. I'm not running things by myself anymore. But it sounds good. I'll get back with you.

(Chamelion leaves and the camera follows him out. As he's walking down the hall, Ezekial comes from out of nowhere and blindsides him and bulldogs him on the concrete floor. Ezekial spits on Chamelion before leaving.) 

Ethan Von Eisson & Showtime vs. Phoenix & Prisoner

Jon: Next up we have an interesting bout.. The Prisoner and Phoenix take on Showtime and Ethan von Eisen.
 
Rentfro: Showtime is one of the people who trained von Eisen, so these two should be able to work well as a team.
 
Drex: You guys notice maybe that Ethan's kind of a dick lately?
 
Rentfro: What? Shut up.
 
Drex: Why do you have to be so me-
 
Rentfro: I said shut up, bitch!
 
Announcer: Entering first, from Orlando, Florida, weighing 240 pounds... PHOENIX!!
 
"Rain" by the Cult blares out of the speakers as the arena lights go red. The Phoenix slowly walks to the ring, surveying the arena as he goes.
 
Jon: Former champ has been off his game, lately.
 
Announcer: And his tag team partner... From Chicago Illinois, weighing in at 295 pounds... This.. Is THE PRISONER!
 
[The fans cheer as Prisoner makes his way to the ring.]
 
Announcer: And their opponents.. First, from Marina Del Ray, weighing 228 punds.. THIS.. IS... SHOWTIIIMMMMEE!
 
[The fans give a huge roar as "Bullets" by Creed comes on the sound system.  The song starts off soft, until the song yell's "I think they shoot cause they want to"  and blue and maroon pyros shoot off.  Outsteps Showtime wearing blue grey  long tights  with a silver dragon on the left.]
 
Rentfro: The fans seem to be rallying behind Showtime, as he has returned to help the PWA in a time of need.
 
Announcer: And his tag team partner, from Parts Unknown, weighing 234 pounds.. The current, reigning Grizzly Beer Champion.. ETHAN VON EISEEEEN!
 
[The fans cheer a bit as 'Where Eagles Dare' by The Misfits hits the P.A., and Ethan von Eisen emerges from behind the curtain.
 
#We walk the streets at night
We go where eagles dare
They pick up every movement
They pick up every loser
With jaded eyes and features
You think they really care#
 
He wears a sleeveless black PWA hoodie, whcih partially obscures his white tights. His white boots and shinguards cover pretty much all of his legs below the knees.
 
#I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
You better think about it baby
I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch
You better think about it baby, babe#
 
He slides into the ring, then stands in the center. He gives a nod to each of the four corners of the ring and to the crowd behind them, then stretches and limbers up, awaiting the opening bell.]
 
Renfro: Von Eisen has had a lot of success very quickly, winning the Grizzly Beer title in his second ever match.
 
Jon: Ethan and Showtime laughing it up...
 
[Ethan extends his hand to The Prisoner, who considers it...]
 
Rentfro: Is this necessary?
 
[Prisoner shakes his hand. The fans let out a cheer.]
 
Jon: Looks like Showtime and Phoenix are going to start things off in this one.
 
DING, DING
 
[Phoenix lunges at Showtime, trying to take him by surprise, but Showtime sidesteps the attack and grabs Phoenix's arm. In a smooth motion, he twists the arm so Phoenix flips over and lands on his back. Phoenix is quick to get to his feet, but is levelled with a series of blows to the head which drives Phoenix into the corner. Showtime whips him to the opposite corner, where Phoenix crashes into the turnbuckle back-first. He stumbles forward and is caught with a nasty lariat.]
 
Rentfro: Showtime wshowing his pupil how it's done.
 
Drex: Phoenix is in a world of hurt.
 
[Showtime then wraps up Phoenix in a textbook STF.]
 
Jon: Nice execution there.
 
Rentfro: Phoenix is in a world of hurt.
 
Drex: I just said that.
 
Rentfro: ...Hack.
 
[Showtime releases the hold, and Tags in von Eisen. Ethan runs over and grabs hold of Phoenix. He sets him up in the tarantula, but so Phoenix is tied up on the ropes facing the inside of the ring.]
 
Jon: Kind of a weird way of doing it..
 
[Showtime then bounces off the ropes and charges Phoenix.]
 
* CRACK! *
 
"OHHH!"
 
Jon: URAKEN!
 
Rentfro: Gesundheit.
 
[Sjowtime charged and then spun once, extending his fist so it connected with Phoenix's jaw with all that momentum behind it.]
 
Jon: A beautiful double team manuever. Now Ethan releases the hold, and Showtime heads to his corner.
 
[Ethan smiles at Showtime and says something... Then sets Phoenix up in a complicated hold, where He's hanging upside-down back-to-back with ethan, who tries to start spinning... but Ethan loses his balance and falls sideways, his head striking a nearby turnbuckle.]
 
Jon: Ha! Ethan tried for a Gory Guerrero special, but it backfired!
 
Rentfro: Ethan's out of it! Phoenix makes the tag!
 
[Prisoner rushes the ring. He scoops up Ethan and props him up in the corner. He backs up and charges. He delivers a vicious shoulderblock to Ethan's midsection. Then another. And another. Ethan flops face first to the mat. Prisoner picks him up, and nails him with an atomic drop. Prisoner covers.]
 
"1"
 
 
 
"2"
 

Jon: Ethan bridged out at two. Showtime is still slapping his forehead over the botched move.
 
Rentfro: So, the kid messed up a move, big deal.
 
Drex: He shouldn't be showing off like that when he barely has a grasp on the fundamentals.
 
[Prisoner stomps a mudhole in Ethan, who looks dazed. Prisoner attempts to whip him into the opposite corner, but Ethan reverses it. Ethan quickly stumbles over to his corner and tags in Showtime.]
 
Jon: Ethan is able to bail out.
 
[The Prisoner shakes it off and meets Showtime in the middle of the ring. They have a few words, then exchange chops to the chest.]
 
* SMACK! *
 
"WOO!"
 
* SMACK! *
 
"WOO!"
 
* SMACK! *
 
"WOO!"
 
* SMACK! *
 
"WOO!"
 
[Prisoner gets the best of the exchange, and whips Showtime into the ropes. Prisoner catches him upon his return and delivers a nasty powerslam, and holds for the cover.]
 
"1!"
 

"2!"
 
Jon: Showtime kicks out!
 
[Showtime gets to his feet, and catches Preisoner off guard with a kick to the midsection. He plants him with a DDT. Showtime rns to the ropes, and springboards off the second rope and lands a moonsault on Prisoner. He holds for the cover.]
 
"1!"
 

"2!"
 

Rentfro: Prisoner kicks out.
 
[Showtime heads over to his corner. He shares some words with Ethan, who looks like he's not listening. The tag is made, and Ethan is the legal man. He lands a few stomps to the head of the Prisoner. Then he puts him in a camel clutch.]
 
Jon: Prisoner is in agony! Phoenix.. doesn't look too worried.
 
[Ethan releases the hold. He pounces to his feet, waiting for the prisoner to stand up. As he does, Ethan grabs his arm, flips around and looks like he was going for some kind of mexican bodyscissors pin attempt, but he loses his momentum and ends up hanging lamely, with his legs wrapped around Prisoner's neck. Prisoner takes advantage of this and lifts him up and pummels him to the mat with a nasty powerbomb. He holds for the cover.]
 
"1!"
 

"2!"
 

[Ethan narely kicks out at two. Prisoner lifts him up and again hammers him with a powerbomb.]
 

* THUD! *
 
 "1!"
 
 
 
"2!"
 
 
 
 
 
"3-"
 
Rentfor: NO! Showtime makes the save!
 
[Showtime kicks Prisoner off just in time, and brawls with the Prisoner for a minute, until the ref drags him back to his corner. Both legal men are down, and crawl to their corners.]
 
"SHOWTIME! SHOWTIME!"
"SHOWTIME! SHOWTIME!"
"SHOWTIME! SHOWTIME!"
"SHOWTIME! SHOWTIME!"
 
[Phoenix and Showtime are tagged in. Showtime charges and lands a crossbody block on Phoenix, He holds for the cover.]
 

"1!"
 
 
 
"2!"
 

Jon: Phoenix kicks out!
 
[Showtime nails Phoenix with a superkick, and then climbs the ropes. The crowd gets on it's feet.]
 
Jon: SHOOTING STAR PRESS! THE COVER!
 

"1!"
 
 
 
 
 
"2!"
 
 
 

"3!!!"
 

Jon: Showtime and his student pick up the win!
 
[The ref raises the hands of von Eisen and Showtime, and the crowd cheers. von Eisen is handed his belt. He turns to leave, then Showtime turns him around.]
 
Drex: Looks like Showtime has words for his former pupil.
 
Jon: So would I, the kid almost cost them the match with all that showing off.
 
[Ethan sneers and shrugs, patting his belt for emphasis. Showtime looks annoyed, and pokes a finger in Ethan's chest, the discussion growing heated. Ethan slaps his hand away anmd turns to leave. Showtime grabs him by the shoulder and forces him to turn around. Ethan gives him a shove.]
 

Jon: Ohh boy.
 
[Showtime pauses.. Then swings! The two begin brawling as the crowd erupts!]
 
Rentfro: WHAT THE!??! SECURITY!
 
[The refs rush the ring and pull the two men apart.]
 
Jon:  don't blame Showtime, the kid can't afford to get a big head!
 
Rentfro: Hey, this is entertainment, let the kid do his thing!
 
Drex: I don't think that's the last we 've seen of this conflict.

(Darren Ridel comes on the PWA-Tron)

Darren Ridel: Showtime, Phoenix...you two need to make a decision. Either you stand with us…or we run you down along with everyone else in this federation. You have until tomorrow this time to notify me of your decision.

[Ridel pauses for a moment examining the both of them…Silverbacks attention is focused on The Prisoner while Stryker tracks Eisson…]

Darren Ridel: You may continue with your match.

[The mic is clicked off and the Masters start to vacate the ring…]

McDaniel: I think Ridel’s idea of recruitment is a little off there…I mean if I were Phoenix or Showtime I’d tell…

Rentfro: Phoenix taking advantage of the situation and drives a boot right into Showtimes gut as Ambrose was watching the M.o.A move up the rampway!

Ezekial vs. Nick Ridel

As soon as they get into the ring they lock up. Ezekial knees Sphinx in the stomach, lifts him up and headbutts him. The ref immediatly gets in his face and starts yelling at him, but Ezekial pushes him back. Sphinx, meanwhile, staggers back bleeding above his eyebrow. Ezekial tries to grab him but Sphinx rams a right hand into his stomach. Sphinx starts tenderizing his stomach with punches. Sphinx grabs him and whips him into the ropes. Ezekial comes back and tries to shoulder block him, but Sphinx drops and drop-toe holds him. Sphinx sits on Ezekial's back and grabs him a camel clutch. Ezekial is waving his arms trying to the ropes. He seems to pass out after almost a minute. The ref checks his arm. One. Sphinx looses the hold a bit. He checks again. Two.

Fallen Angel vs. Nightstryker (World Title Match)

Jon: And at last we come to our main event!
 
Drex: Nightstryker challenges Fallen Angel for the world title! Anything can happen in the PWA!
 
Brian: Shut up.
 
Drex: [hurt] What?
 
Jon: OK, boys, that's enough.
 
Announcer: Entering first, the challenger, hailing from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 254 pounds... NIGHTSTRYKER!
 
[The sound of thunder is heard throughout the arena. The lights slowly dim, but before they completely go out, a flash of lightning hits the ADCtron as white fountain pyro's go off next to the entrance. Blue smoke eminates from the back as Nightstryker appears from behind the curtain. He is accompanied by what about a half-dozen individuals. Together they walk casually through the smoke to the ring.]
 
Jon: This doesn't bode well. Just about the whole MoA is with him: Attict, Darren Ridel, Silverback..
 
Rentfro: Silverback has a bag over his shoulder... Wonder what's inside?
 
Announcer: ...And his opponent, weighing in at 280 punds, from Devil's Tower, Wyoming... The PWA World Champion - FALLEN ANGEL!
 
[The lights in the arena go out as red flames fall from the rafters and ignite the ramp into flames. The video screen displays a phoenix and dragon flying in the night sky behind a crimson moon above a wolf that is howling atop a mountain as "Down With The Sickness" by Disturbed begins to blare. A cry of a phoenix is heard. The hollow voice of Fallen Angel is heard saying "I destroy you..from the inside out..Never say die.." He emerges swinging his black sceptre cane and pointing to the heavens. He lets out an evil laugh and then proceeds down the ramp with his brother Nic Midnight by his side. He enters the ring as Midnight takes his cane and coat from him. He extends his hands out like a phoenix and then slams them down causing the ring to ignite into flames of various colors. Fallen Angel licks his lips and prepares for battle.]
 
Jon: The ref wisely patting down both competitors...
 
DING, DING
 
Rentfro: Angel has the size advantage, as he usually does.
 
Drex: But Stryker has the X Factor at ringside...
 
Rentfro: They're just here to hang, Derxxy. They're maxin and relaxin, as the kids like to say.
 
Drex: What kids say that?
 
[The competitors lock up in a test of strength to start things off. Fallen Angel takes the immediate advantage, pressing Stryker back. Stryker slowly forces himself back to an equal position. Then Stryker falls back and kicks Angel in the midsection with both feet, flipping him over ont his back. Stryker begins stomping away at Angel's forehead. Stryker turns to the crowd and sneers, as they rain boos down on him.]
 
Jon: Not too many Nightstryker fans in attendance here tonight!
 
Rentfro: Think the Ridels will stick around for awhile?
 
Drex: You can never tell with the MoA. Right now their presence is strong throughout the AOWF.
 
[Stryker stands up Fallen Angel and whips him into the ropes - well, tries to whip him to the ropes, but FA won't budge. Stryker yanks on his arm again, but Angel resists. Fallen Angel yanks on his arm and draws Stryker in for a devastating clothesline.]
 
* THUD! *
 
Drex: Ouch!
 
[Stryker stumbles back to his feet, and is caught with a big boot to the jaw that drops him once again. FA scoops him up - and slams him to that mat.]
 
Jon: Vicious powerslam by the champ!
 
[Fallen Angel turns to the crowd, who gives him a loud mix of cheers and boos. Stryker takes the opportunity to get up and wrap his arms around FA's waist. Then he pulls back and gives FA a nasty german suplex. He bridges for the pin attempt.]
 
"1!"
 
 
 
"2!"
 
 
 
Jon: FA kicks out!
 
[Stryker presses the advantage, running off the ropes. As Fallen Angel rises to his feet, Stryker nails him with a dropkick. He then rushes over to the turnbuckle, and begins to climb. FA is quick to react, and grabs hold of Nightstryker, who is perched on the top rope. He grabs him by the neck, with his back to stryker, and drops in a devastating hanging neckbreaker.]
 
* CRACK! *
 
[The crowd groans at the sick move.]
 
Jon: FA with the cover!
 
"1!"
 

"2!"
 
Rentfro: Stryker kicks out!
 
Jon: FA's signaling... Looks like he's going for the sweet revenge!
 
[Fallen Angel drags the wounded Stryker over to the corner, and sets him up for FA's top rope pedigree.]
 
Rentfro: HERE IT IS!
 
Drex: NO!
 
* THUD! *
 
[Stryker flips forward as FA is about to deliver the move, so that Stryker ends up in a sitting position on FA's chest as they plummet to the mat. Stryker reaches back and hooks the leg in a pin attempt!]
 
"1!"
 

Jon: WHAT A COUNTER!!!
 
"2!"
 
 
 

"3-
 

Rentfor: HE KICKED OUT!
 
Drex: Nightstyker is on his feet - He's signalling for the Mindbender!
 
Jon: Here we go... MINDBENDER!
 
* THUUDDD! *
 
Rentfro: HE GOT HIM! THE COVER!
 
"1!"
 
 
 

"2!"
 
 
 
 
 
"3!"
 
 
 
Jon: IT'S OVER! WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION! NIGHTSTRYKER IS THE PWA WORLD CHAMPION!
 
DING, DING
 
[Before the bell can even finish ringing, Darren Ridel, Silverback, and Attict have swarmed into the ring, and the attack on an already fatigued Fallen Angel begins…chair and baseball bat shots galore find their mark as Fallen Angel can do little more then try and cover himself up…]
 
McDaniel: COME ON! There has to be someone back there with a heart that’s willing to help out!
 
Rentfro: Please the only group in this entire federation that has ever shown unity is that one in the ring right now.
 
Watas: He’s right you know.
 
[Silverback lets up on the attack as he drops his chair, and sliding the duffel bag, that he had been carrying, off of his person…he drops it down to the canvas and kneels down beside it unzipping the bag…]
 
[From within the bag he starts to pull out shackles attached to chains…]
 
McDaniel: Oh my…this isn’t looking good at all…We need security down here now!
 
Rentfro: Security fears the M.o.A!
 
[As Silverback digs the chains out of the bag, Ridel, Stryker, and Attict halt their attack…]
 
Watas: The Masters are now grabbing up the chains and fastening them to Angel…one shackle on each ankle and each wrist! Ah boy FA is so gonna hurt after this one.
 
[With each Master holding one the chains attached to the shackles they start to move towards the turnbuckles…With a master at each of the four turnbuckles they loop their individual chains around the ring posts, and start to pull on the chain…]
 
[Slowly Fallen Angel starts to rise off the canvas until he is spread eagle at the center of the ring…The chains are held in place by four padlocks, and then the four Masters turn and head back towards the center of the ring and Fallen Angel…]
 
McDaniel: This is no good…no good at all. No Demise tonight to help FA out…no Thunderwolf…anyone?
 
Rentfro: Nope…not tonight. Tonight he’s a play thing for the Masters.
 
Watas: Not a toy I would want to be.
 
[Back at the center of the ring Ridel bends down, and starts digging through the bag again…When he stands back up he holds something in his hands that sends a jolt through the arena…]
 
McDaniel: He’s got a gasoline can! They’re going to set Fallen Angel on fire!
 
Rentfro: Could be…boy I bet that’s gonna smell.
 
[In his right hand Ridel does indeed hold a gasoline can…in his right a roll of tape…He tosses the gasoline can over to Stryker, who immediately opens it and starts to dump the contents all over Fallen Angel.]
 
[In Ridel’s other hand he holds a roll of tape that he tosses to Silverback.]
 
Watas: Stryker just emptied that entire gasoline can on Fall Angel…Silverback now starting to wrap the tape around Fallen Angel’s head covering his mouth…Holy Moly! Ridel’s got a match book!
 
McDaniel: Ok…ok…this has to stop now. It’s way too serious now. Someone get security!
 
Rentfro: Nah they ain’t coming.
 
[With his task performed Silverback backs away from the bound and gagged Fallen Angel…a wicked smile across his lips…Ridel pulls a mic from within his jacket pocket as Fallen Angel, consciousness now starting to quickly come back to him, turns to watch Ridel…]
 
[Ridel lights a match as he brings the mic to his lips…]
 
Darren Ridel: The “unholy demon”…bound and gagged before me. His voice taken from him, and only a glare to convey his feelings toward me. Your reign of convenience ends on this night…it could have been anyone really, but you just happened to be the guy on top at the time of my return…
 
[The match burns down to his finger tips, but he doesn’t flinch…Instead he lets the dead match drop, and strikes another one…]
 
Darren Ridel: You’ll recognize this one I’m sure…ashes to ashes…dust to dust…
 
[Darren flings the match towards Fallen Angel…]
 
McDaniel: OH GOD NO!!
 
[The feed goes black.]
