WGWF PRESENTS
MONDAY NIGHT BRAWL
ROAD TO CAGED IN 2017
9.4.17
TARGET CENTER
MINNEAPOLIS, MN
The fans erupt as Chris Page emerges out to the top of the ramp. He's in a tailored black suit, sharply pressed white dress shirt, a deep red tie, and shiny black dress shoes. The former seven times WGWF World Heavyweight Champion starts to make the long walk towards the ring to the wild cheering of the sea of fans all around him as the chugging drums and guitars of 'Hail to the King' churn through the loudspeakers.
Diamond: It was just two weeks ago in our Main Event that Chris Page stamped his ticket to Caged In and a World Title opportunity against a man that he knows all too well, MDK.
Baxter: To say he was handed the opportunity by Kyle Shane is an understatement.
Chris reaches ringside as the fans along the railing bow down as he passes them. Looking back over his shoulder briefly with a sly smirk, he climbs up on to the ring apron before looking out over the sold out arena. He steps through the ropes slowly where he walks across the ring calling for the microphone.
Donald Masters hands Page the mic as the music fades away leaving a solid "CCP! CCP! CCP! CCP!" chant from the crowd directed towards the WGWF Icon. Chris nods his head as he raises the microphone.
CHRIS PAGE- "Thank you, what's up Minneapolis..."
The crowd pops loudly as Chris continues.
CHRIS PAGE- "I suppose we have a lot to cover coming off the last edition of Monday Night Brawl..."
Chris states before taking a mere second or two before he continues.
CHRIS PAGE- "It was right here in this very ring that I secured myself a shot at the WGWF World Heavyweight Champion MDK at the next Pay-Per-View properly entitled... Caged In."
Another cheap pop from the crowd is heard as Chris holds up his left hand, palm out which quiets the crowd down.
CHRIS PAGE- "This victory should mean everything to me right now, yet, when it's surrounded by the controversy that it is, it's sort of hard to properly gloat over especially when it comes to the caliber talent that John "The Beast" Cable has turned into over the last eight months or so."
Chris states with a sincere tone as he continues.
CHRIS PAGE- "That night, just two weeks ago, two men thought it best to stick their nose in my business where it CERTAINLY didn't belong. The first is the current World Heavyweight Champion MDK himself. Now, why would MDK try and cost someone like me a shot at his Title? Hmmmmm.... Let me think... Ah, that's right! I'm the ONLY man that's lifted the World Title from around his waist around these parts!"
The fans ROAR!!!
CHRIS PAGE- "So the better question should be... Why WOULDN'T MDK want to cost me a shot at that Title which rests over his shoulder? I'm not even that bent about it when I really sit back and think about it... Considering all he's done is loaded my shotgun for me to go ahead and pull the trigger on another failed title run that will leave him swallowing his pride, taking his ball and going home as usual."
Diamond: Page isn't pulling punches tonight!
There's a massive "CCP! CCP! CCP! CCP!" chant that filters throughout the entire building as we see Chris take a minute to soak in the pop from the crowd before he raises the microphone and continues.
CHRIS PAGE- "The second man that stuck his nose in my business rests with the self-proclaimed "God of Game" Kyle Shane."
There's a loud, mixed reception at the mention of Kyle's name.
CHRIS PAGE- "Rumor has it he's still bent over Hardcore Hell from many years back. Rumor has it... he's looking for the competition that ISN'T The Sentinel. Well Sunshine, consider this an OPEN CONTRACT to you Sir; a contract in which you can exercise at any time you choose to step back up to the grown folks table, any time you stop bitching and moaning about getting beat by a better man on that given night and anytime you want to get served up harder and faster than anything John Cable can come close to, you just go ahead and cash it in Cupcake!"
Baxter: The gauntlet has been laid down!!
CHRIS PAGE- "I'm about sick and tired of guys that think they're entitled to shit because they have name value in this business. I'm about sick and tired of my name popping up and out of the mouths of guys that would rather sit back and watch as opposed to stepping inside of THIS ring and earning it! Fuck what anyone has done in the past, including me, because the past isn't relevant. What's relevant is right here, right now and for all those out there that want to complain about me EARNING a shot at the World Title I welcome you to step to the plate and show the world you still got a set; or you can run your mouth on the sidelines. The choice is yours."
The fans ROAR!!
CHRIS PAGE- "As it stands right here, right now my focus has now completely shifted and my vision is solely directed towards you, MDK. You got something that I want... And come Caged In I'm GOING to take it... Again."
Chris drops the microphone as "Hail to the King" hits the speakers to a huge ovation from the crowd... When suddenly the music abruptly stops and fades instantly into....
As the drum and guitar riff of Pop Evil's 'Trenches' blares through the loudspeaker, The ramp is filled with green pin spots and smoke billowing from the floor. The fans cheer loudly as the WGWF's New Intercontinental Champion makes his way out onto the ramp in his black kick pants scrawled in neon green and white tribal patterns up the length of the left leg and a brand new tee shirt from WGWFInsider Merchandise with a giant Jimminy Cricket on the front with the words 'I still hear the crickets...' in bold black letters circling the graphic. The WGWF IC Title is draped over his shoulder, and his hand rests on it affectionately as he waves to the crowd, then brings a mic to his lips.
John Cable - “Chris... first... I would like to congratulate you on your win last week. It was a good match, right up until the end anyway, and I look forward to seeing you tear MDK apart at 'Caged In' in just a few months, I do. I wish you the best of luck, and I want you to know that there are no hard feelings about it. I know what went down inside that ring, but it wasn't just YOUR business they interfered in, now was it? Oh NO... it was my business too... and while you came out with the shot for the belt... it didn't prove anything between us, and it damned sure didn't satisfy my need to face the challenges before me. While I KNOW Chris Page isn't going to shy away from the World Title Shot... I know you also aren't going to shy away from the challenges ahead of you either.”
Chris Page - “What are you trying to get at here, John? Speak up... I'm a busy man.”
The crowd pops for the cocky bravado of Chris Page and then settles in to hear what John has to say on it...
John Cable - “What I'm saying, Chris, is this: While we still have some unfinished business revolving around who the better man is between us... we also have some unfinished business with the likes of MDK and Kyle Shane. I say before 'Caged In' comes rolling around, we figure out how to make our schedules work to settle both of those issues... You and me versus Kyle Shane and MDK to prove a point about sticking your nose where it doesn't belong... and then Chris Page versus Johnathan Cable to find out who the better man really is! What do you say? How about you guys... you want to see Chris Page and John Cable lay waste to the sorry bastards who stuck their nose into our business and ruined the Number One Contender spot for the World Title for all of you fans out there???”
The fans lose it and cheer wildly for the idea.
John Cable - “And what about me and Chris Page settling once and for all this whole cricket nonsense, huh?”
Again, the fans cheer wildly for the idea behind what could be a truly great match-up.
John Cable - “ Well, Chris... the fans want to see it... what about you, Brother?”
Chris raises his microphone.
CHRIS PAGE- "YOU'RE ON!"
The crowd roars as Chris and John shake hands and with that the scene fades backstage.
I'M COMING FOR YOU:
There's a loud pop from the crowd as the new WGWF Television Champion Erik Josten is warming up for his upcoming contest later on in the evening. He takes the WGWF Television Championship and slings it over his right shoulder where he turns to exit his locker room and is met by Nick Ryan.
NICK RYAN- "What's up, Champ?"
ERIK JOSTEN- "Don't you have a match with Andy that you should be getting ready for?"
NICK RYAN- "Andy Johnson? Ha! If you call it a match than sure."
ERIK JOSTEN- "Some tough talk from a guy that was beat by Andy at Summer Madness..."
Nick screams out at the top of his lungs.
NICK RYAN- "I DIDN'T LOSE!"
Erik smirks before stating.
ERIK JOSTEN- "Yeah, whatever you need to tell yourself."
Erik looks to walk past Nick only to see Nick block his path.
NICK RYAN- "I'm here to let you know face to face that I'm coming for that belt. Keep it warm for me."
Nick turns and leaves Erik standing in the door way of his locker room simply shaking his head as we cut back to ringside.
MATCH ONE:
CHRISTIAN CONNOLLY
versus
ANDRE "THE KING" DIXON
DING! DING! DING!
Dixon finally decides he's had enough of the turnbuckle and hops down to face Connolly. Both step to center to have a lively conversation with one another. Specifics cannot be delved into, but a few priests just died. Dixon reaches up and pie faces the Suntan Superman, staggering him back a step. He steps forward and delivers a stiff punch to the face of the King, erasing the grin that was just etched on his face.
Connolly drops the chain and pushes it out of the ring with her foot. Dixon recoils from the blow and moves for a collar and elbow tie-up, which Connolly obliges. Dixon brings him back to a turnbuckle. Bernie Roberts attempts to get in and break it up, but once he thinks Dixon is about to deliver an elbow, he hits the deck. Dixon delivers a knee to Connolly’s midsection, backs him into the ropes, sends him in for the Irish whip, and attempts to deliver a decapitating clothesline, but Connolly goes underneath. He then follows this up with a leap to the second rope, a quick turnaround, and a forearm that staggers the King up against the opposite side ropes.
Christian quickly gets up to his feet and thwarts any offense the King might have been planning with a stiff knife edge chop that makes the King reel off the ropes. Connolly levels him with another chop, the echo bouncing around the walls of the arena. Dixon ducks under the next chop, hook the arm and gets behind the Suntan Superman. He quickly hooks the other arm back and delivers a Tiger suplex. Roberts drops down for the count, but Connolly is able to get out before Bernie can get his arm halfway down for the one.
Both wrestlers make it up to their feet. The King comes in and attempts to deliver a punch, but Superman catches the arm, delivers a high muay-thai kick to the bicep, then delivers a back kick to the abdomen, Connolly spins around, grabs Dixon by the right leg, lifts up a little, hooking him in a fisherman position before dropping him down on his head in a DDT. He wastes no time in picking The King back up, delivering a neck chop and a kick to the midsection before running off the ropes. The King decides it’s time to perk up and hooks Christian around the waist before throwing him overhead in a belly to belly suplex that makes some of the front row fans cringe since he was all folded up on the ropes, like a…What’s the word?
Baxter: ACCORDION! BY GAWD LIKE AN-
Diamond: Please don't. We don't need another cease and desist letter.
Dixon doesn’t even bother going for the cover, instead he nudges Connolly with his foot, acting as if he is dead. He snickers and then does it again, much to his chagrin once Connolly grabs his foot, trips him, and slams his head into the second turnbuckle. Dixon bounces off and Connolly quickly grabs him, bringing him down with a small package.
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
DING! DING! DING!
Masters: Here is your winner, CHRISTIAN CONNOLLY!!
Connolly has his arm raised in victory as he makes it to his feet. Behind him, Dixon drills Connolly from behind, sending him down. Dixon stomps away at Christian, letting out his frustration. Roberts tries to get in the middle, but Dixon shoves him down.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Dixon picks Connolly up and lifts him up, slamming him down with the Deadly Force. He gets to his feet and spits down at Connolly before climbing out the ring.
YOUR WORLD CHAMPION SPEAKS!
Denise Essex stands backstage with microphone in hand.
Essex: “I am standing here now with…”
A hand is raises and Denise leans off camera. She sighs, shakes her head and starts again.
Essex: “I am honoured to be standing here with the new WGWF World Heavyweight Champion M.D.K. ahead of two huge matches across the next two episodes of Monday Night Brawl.”
The camera pans out and we are met with a smirking M.D.K. who caresses the title on his shoulder.
M.D.K.: “The pleasure is all yours.”
Denise rolls her eyes before continuing.
Essex: “The first we all know about sees you and Alyce Starchylde taking on the Glorious New Breed but I want to hear your thoughts about the next match for you on the next Brawl. For the first time in pro-wrestling history, we will be able to see M.D.K. go one on one with James Raven.”
M.D.K.: “Well, the way I see it, kids like Jimmy need a step up the ladder and if I can help give him the push he needs from handing him his arse on a shiny silver platter then so be it. I’m putting it down as a tax deductible charitable donation for the year.”
Essex: “You… DO know who you have agreed to wrestle on September 14th don’t you?”
M.D.K.: “Exciting wrestling prospect Jimmy Raven! I know!”
Essex: “Yes… JAMES Raven… Hall of Fame Superstar, award winning icon of the WGWF and a Former WGWF World Heavyweight Champion…”
M.D.K.: “Ah you appear to have made a couple of things there sugar-tits. You are describing the alpha male, first, last and everything of the WGWF that stands before you but you have forgotten to add in that I am the CURRENT WGWF World Heavyweight Champion…”
Essex: “No…”
She sighs and places her hand to her face and shakes her head. M.D.K. can’t keep his composure much longer and cracks a smile.
M.D.K.: “Of course I know who he is you silly wench! Dear god after all this time, your interview skills haven’t improved. For the sake of the lucky production assistant you drunkenly pick on after the show, let’s hope your OTHER oral skills have improved with time…”
Denise looks angered by this but before she can retort, M.D.K. continues.
M.D.K.: “Look, James, Jimmy or J-Dog… Whatever he wants to be called. He’s just doing exactly what everybody has done since my return to the ring back at the Rumble… Paul Frost did it, Tristan and his pet pumpkin continue to do it, Chris Page is going to do it and Jimmy Raven is no different. They all want to make something out of being in the ring with me. Paul wanted glory by association, Tristan wanted to add my name to esteemed talent that couldn’t defeat him, Chris Page thinks that he can turn back the hands of father time by taking me on and Jimmy wants to try and make his name relevant again by stepping into the ring with me. I can’t blame them. People see the three simple letters and then they see dollar signs by association. Flash Rotten may keep trying everything in his power to stop me being the true King of the WGWF but the one this he values more than his pride is the almighty dollar and that is what I bring to this place each and every night…”
Essex: “Does a match like this benefit you? You speak of how it benefits James Raven, but do you think that you gain from this or is this purely another act of altruism from you?”
Her tone is thick with sarcasm as M.D.K. nods in approval.
M.D.K.: “Wow… the dolly bird of WGWF learned a new tone of voice! I’m impressed! Look, of course a match like this benefits me. I keep sharp in the ring against a man who has been to the top, I continue to be the biggest draw in this company and most importantly, continue to show to everybody and anybody that dares to stand up and take notice that this no greater in professional wrestling and specifically the WGWF in this era… or any other era past, present and future…”
“James has been there and done that and has self confidence that I would ALMOST be proud of. He has been at the very top of the mountain and of course he wants to see how an icon of another era fares against him. Our paths have never crossed and that travesty will come to an end on the next Brawl. Right there and then, in the middle of the ring, Jimmy will stand in the corner and cast his eyes on the alpha and omega of the WGWF… And before I have even laid a hand on him, he will realise that my excellence and superiority transcends eras.”
“I have beaten the odds time and time again, I have crushed the obstacles that have been set out before me, I have answered each of my critics and most importantly, I have defied the infinite void of time to be standing here now as your WGWF World Heavyweight Champion. Jimmy’s era came and went like every other peon, pissant and peasant that has been to the top and fallen down again. Mr Raven, you can have your match next week, you can have your last grasp at glory and then you can feel how each and every other has felt after stepping into the ring with me… Truly… and Utterly… INFERIOR!”
He stares at the camera briefly before something behind the camera catches his eye. He calls out to it.
M.D.K.: “Hey! You there! Awkward chap!”
The camera follows M.D.K. as he heads over to none other than ANDY JOHNSON at which point we can hear the crowd pop. The Everyday Normal Guy looks a cross between terrified and awestruck to have M.D.K. surge towards him and he freezes. M.D.K. smiles and stretches out a hand.
M.D.K.: “It’s Alan isn’t it?”
Johnson: “Err… Andy… Andy Johnson…”
Andy awkwardly shakes M.D.K.’s hand.
M.D.K.: “Yeah, that’s what I said. I’m M.D.K… The WGWF World Heavyweight Champion.”
Johnson: “I… I know who you are.”
M.D.K.: “Ah, a bit of an M.D.K. fan are you?”
Johnson: “I was thinking more about the fact we have had a match before… A singles match…”
M.D.K.: “Did we? Sorry kid, my victories stack up so much that I lose track of all the people I’ve had on their back in that ring… Just like Denise to be fair.”
Denise glowers at the champion who turns and offers her a wink before continuing.
M.D.K.: “I just wanted to formally introduce myself as I know your dad you see…”
Johnson: “Err… I know…”
M.D.K.: “Of course you do, of course you do. Do you know how I knew that you were Chris’ son?”
Johnson: “Is it because everybody in the WGWF knows and it has been televised continuously?”
M.D.K. remains deadpan and Johnson briefly considers running before M.D.K. busts out a fairly obvious fake laugh and roughly slaps Andy on the shoulder.
M.D.K.: “You’re a funny guy Alan! A funny, funny guy… No, you have the gleam.”
Johnson: “I’m sorry?”
M.D.K.: “The gleam in your eye. The same gleam that your dad used to have. The gleam that says that you have some fire inside you. A gleam that tells everybody that you are destined for big things… HUGE things… Things that will see you go far in the wrestling industry.”
Johnson: “You think so?”
M.D.K.: “I know so Alfie… All you need is the right support and the right coaching behind you and before you know it, you will have the world watching you in the main event and gold will be around your waist. All you need… is someone to believe in you…”
Johnson: “Well… thanks!”
M.D.K.: “Look, prove it tonight to me against Nick Ryan, show me and the rest of the world what that spark can truly do… Go get ‘em… CHAMP…”
M.D.K. saunters off leaving a very happy Andy Johnson in his wake…
MATCH 2:
SUMMER MADNESS REMATCH
ANDY JOHNSON
versus
NICK RYAN
Masters: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a SUMMER MADNESS REMATCH!
"Everyday Normal Guy" hits the speakers to a huge ovation from the crowd.
Masters: Introducing first, about to make his way to the ring.... "THE EVERYDAY NORMAL GUY" ANDY JOHNSON!!!
The ovation is massive as all heads shift to the top of the ramp looking for Andy to make his way out to the top of the ramp... Yet there's no Andy.
Baxter: I'm being told we've got something going on back behind the curtain!
Camera's rush back through the curtain and back to the gorilla positon where Nick Ryan has a mount on a bloody Andy Johnson where he's hammering down with hard right hands to an open wound. There's a dented up steel chair on the floor as we see Nick get up off Andy.
Diamond: Nick Ryan is assaulting the Number One Contender for the WGWF Television Championship.
Nick reaches down picking up the dented up steel chair. He slams is down against the concrete as we see Andy roll over to his chest and as he starts to push himself up off the floor it's ERIK JOSTEN who bursts on to the screen spearing Nick and driving him back against a concrete wall... But before anything else can happen the scene is flooded by security!
Baxter: Nick Ryan has laid out his opponent tonight!
Diamond: We don't know how bad it is but thank God Erik Josten made that save because there's no telling to what degree Nick was about to go too.
MATCH 3:
NON TITLE
KYLE SHANE
versus
ERIK JOSTEN (c)
‘In the Morning and Amazing’ by Circa Survive plays… The big screen shows shots of Kyle’s matches. Kyle Shane steps slowly out onto the stage. The Assassins hood to his long-coat is pulled low over his face. The distinctive voice of Anthony Green hits the bridge:
"And how could anyone, you are in my dreams. Half human, half machine. You with someone else that I have felt and seen. I cannot rest, or my consciousness contest. Looking right through the lens. From winter brings the spring again..." Kyle tilts his head back and holds his arms out, taking in the reception of the crowd. The crowd gets on its feet for the returning God of Game.
Masters: “The following NON-TITLE contest is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring from Boston, Massachusetts and weighing in at 218lbs… The God of Game… Kyle… SHANE!”
Baxter: “Kyle is walking to a match against a man who is holding onto gold and that will eat at him.”
Diamond: “He had a battle against one big man last week, how will he fare against The Wrecking Ball?”
There are pockets of people that are irritated and give their negative reaction to the flippy, smarky, self-absorbed Game Changer, but a vast majority of the people know his history and his accomplishments, if not his in-ring prowess. Some even give him a fanning bow as Kyle swaggers down the aisle. Halfway down the aisle, Kyle pivots, holding his arms up to either side of him. He climbs onto the apron. Kyle balances on the ropes for a moment, points to himself and smirks, holding his arms out, and then he hops down, takes off his long-coat and stretches a few times to get ready.
All the lights in the arena go out, which sends the audience into a frenzy of cheers and screams.
KEEP IT 100…
The crowd roars to its feet, clapping along with the beat. Cell phone screens and camera flashes start illuminating the blackness. Erik Josten throws the curtain aside and strides out onto the stage. He takes a moment to pause and survey the crowd with chin held high and hands on hips. With a look of extreme focus, he marches down the ramp, taking the time to slap a few hands along the way.
Masters: “And his opponent, from Seattle, Washington and weighing in at 320lbs… He is the current reigning, defending and undisputed WGWF Television Champion… Erik… Josten!”
He stops as he gets to the ring and holds his head down. After he mouths some words to himself, he lets out an animalistic roar (think Roman Reigns before the spear) and climbs in the ring.
Baxter: “The new champion is here and how is he going to deal with the weight of that belt weighing him down?”
Diamond: “Of all the tests for a champion, a non-title match against Kyle Shane is not what anybody would wish for.”
Once in the ring, Josten climbs the middle turnbuckle in one corner of the ring and pumps a fist in the air as the fans cheer.
The pair circle each other in the middle of the ring as the bell chimes to start the match and the pair go for a collar and elbow tie up from the off with Josten immediately and obviously taking control and forcing Shane back into the counter but the smaller man is able to wriggle through and goes behind Josten and wraps his arms around the waist of the Television Champion. Erik reaches back and attempts an elbow swing at Kyle but he leans back to allow Josten to spin through and Shane leaps up to deliver a leaping STO but Josten catches the God of Game and drives him down to the mat with a hard slam!
Baxter: “First display of power tonight from Josten who is flexing his Champion muscles.”
Shane remains on his back and stares up at Josten who makes a title belt gesture around his waist and clearly asks Shane where his belt is. Shane rolls backwards to his feet and the two go to lock up again but Shane ducks through and counters with a flurry of quick kicks to the midriff of the Americanimal and backs him up with a few forearm shots. Shane grabs the arm of Josten and attempts an Irish whip but the big man holds his ground. Shane pulls hard but Josten shakes his head and pulls The God of Game towards him and hauls him up but Shane leaps up and hits a head-scissors take-down to the Television Champion that gets the crowd on its feet and leaves Josten looking momentarily stunned.
Diamond: “And now Kyle Shane gets to bare his teeth.”
Kyle winks at the Television champion as he gets to his feet and tilts his head to crack his neck. The pair ties up again in the centre of the ring and Josten quickly forces Shane back into the corner and holds him there as the referee calls for the break. Josten holds Shane in place as the referee makes the count for the rope-break and Josten finally releases on the count of four. The referee admonishes the Erik but is interrupted by a forearm that connects with the side of Josten’s head who looks stunned and angry in equal measure but can’t react before a second and a third send him into the middle of the ring. The Game Changer then takes a step forward and charges at Josten but is caught and charged back into the corner where Josten follows up with a quick set of shoulder barges that drive the wind out of the former Intercontinental Champion. Erik straightens up takes a couple of steps back and measures Shane up and charges forwards for an avalanche that connects leading The God of Game to stagger into the centre of the ring as Josten backs into the ropes and hits a running shoulder block that flattens Kyle Shane!
Diamond: “That was a 320lbs SCUD missile that just flattened The God of Game!”
Baxter: “I hear North Korea wants tips from Josten on his trajectory…”
Kyle clutches at his ribs as Erik roars to the crowd as his raises his arms and poses for the flashbulbs. He reaches down for his adversary and grabs him by his hair and connects with a couple of forearms before scooping him up and dumping him back onto the mat before making a cover!
1!
2!
But Kyle kicks out to the dismay of the TV Champion who shakes his head and offers himself a wry smile before climbing back to his feet and delivering a couple of boots to his downed foe before dragging him up to his feet by his arm and Shane fights back with a couple of kicks to the arm of the Champion who goes to drag The Game Changer back towards him but he is able to slide between Josten’s legs and trips up the Wrecking Ball with his own arm and quickly follows up with a leg-drop all the while still holding onto Josten’s arm. He rolls to his feet to crank on the arm as the Television Champion tries to battle to his feet but Shane keeps the pressure on his arm by wrenching it again! Josten grits his teeth as Shane makes his way over to the turnbuckle and hits a few kicks to the shoulder socket of the Americanimal before climbing onto the middle turnbuckle and then tentatively onto the top turnbuckle!
Diamond: “Kyle Shane going to the high risk district!”
Baxter: “This boy doesn’t know how to not risk his own health at times!”
He leaps off and somersaults and arm-drags Erik Josten across the ring with a high impact arm-drag takedown to the delight of the crowd! Shane climbs back to his feet and continues to favour his ribs as Josten nurses his shoulder in the corner.
Diamond: “Both men are taking nasty knocks in this match.”
Baxter: “That is the result of both men favouring high risk, high impact moves!”
Shane is up to his feet first though and makes his way over to the Television champion who greets him with a right hand that staggers him backwards. Josten is still on one knee as Shane staggers back a step and holds his jaw as if to check that it is still in place before moving back towards Josten only to be met with another right hand that has the same effect. Shane composes himself again and makes his way back towards Josten onto to see him charge towards him to deliver a brutal lariat but Kyle is too quick, drops down and delivers a high impact drop toehold that smashes Erik face first into the canvas as The God of Game tends to his lip to check if it’s bleeding as the referee tends to Josten who is sporting a very swollen lip from the impact!
Diamond: “Kyle Shane is using his speed to his advantage.”
Baxter: “And Josten’s own momentum to split his lip wide open and that will do nothing for the big man’s mood.”
Josten gets on all fours as Shane steps towards the Americanimal and grabs him by the back of the head and holds him in place as he delivers MMA style knees to the face and chest of Josten before taking a step backwards, he measures up the TV Champion and charges forwards and into a Great American Drop Samoan Drop!
Diamond: “Huge impact there! And he hooks the leg!”
1!
2!
But Shane is able to power out with a kickout! Josten climbs to his knees and drags Kyle up to his feet with him as Josten gets upright and grabs Shane by the hair and delivers a headbutt to the forehead of the Game Changer who goes to drop to one knee but Josten catches him and delivers another and then another and then hauls Shane into the air and then spins him on the mat before driving The God of Game into the mat!
Diamond: “American Revolution on Kyle Shane!”
He reaches forwards and hooks the leg!
1!
2!
Kick out!
Kyle Shane bursts out of the pin and rolls onto his side as Josten kneels up and shakes his head and rubs his face baffled at the kickout. He climbs to his feet and drags Shane with him but the God of Game counters by flinging Josten’s arms off of him and connects with a few forearms that back Josten into the ropes. Shane whips Josten across the ring to the opposite ropes and as the Americanimal returns, Shane hits a standing dropkick that only staggers Josten. Shane deftly pops back to his feet, eyes up Josten and hits a standing hurricanrana but Josten stands firm and catches Shane mid-air and adjusts his position!
Baxter: “Josten going for the Fastball Special!”
Josten charges Shane towards the turnbuckle but Shane is able to adjust his weight once again and this time completes the hurricanrana, releases the legs and sends Josten face-first into the top turnbuckle!
Diamond: “What agility! What speed from the Game Changer and that could well have changed this match-up into Kyle Shane’s favour!”
Josten holds himself up on the top turnbuckle and composes himself as Kyle Shane psyches himself up as the crowd get excited. Shane stalks Josten, grabs him by the back of his head and drives him to the mat with the Lens of Truth. He wrenches on the neck of Josten who grabs at his neck and flails as Kyle hollers at Josten to submit!
Baxter: “Lens of Truth on Josten!”
Josten reaches for the ropes but he’s too far away as he stretches out for the ropes with both hands as his face turns a deep red! He places his hands onto the mat and pushes himself up with Shane on his back!
Diamond: “Look at the strength! The power from Erik Josten!”
Josten adjusts Shane onto his shoulders and turns it into the Golden Gate Bridge Torture Rack! Shane flails and struggles as Josten roars in rage as Shane’s legs flail.
Baxter: “Josten has Shane in trouble! This could be it.”
Josten aggressively bumps Shane onto his shoulder hard but Shane uses the lift to leap from the shoulders of Josten and in one fluid movement, grabs the head of Josten as he comes down and turns it into a headlock driver on the way down!
Diamond: “Pieces of Eden! Pieces of Eden out of nowhere!”
Shane hooks the legs!
1!
2!
3!

DING... DING... DING....
Masters: The following Tag Team contest is your MONDAY NIGHT BRAWL Main Event of the Evening...
The fans ERUPT as the house lights dim to darkness! The drums and guitar kick in as a single spotlight hits the top of the ramp revealing the back of Tristan Slater who is dressed in a blue robe with diamond trim and the word "GLORIOUS" written across the back of the robe with his arms extended out in a "Glorious pose". The lyrics hit and as Tristan spins around the fans ROAR! The ovation grows as the Intercontinental Champion JOHN CABLE emerges out to the top of the ramp where he walks with a purpose towards the ring; the Intercontinental Title strapped around his waist. The Glorious One starts to make his walk towards the ring while we see John has already climbed up on the ring apron before stepping over the top rope and into the squared circle where he starts pacing back and forth like a caged animal.
Tristan reaches ringside where he makes his way up the steel steps to the ring arpon. He motions for the referee to open the ropes. The official sits on the middle rope while pushing up on the top rope. The Glorious One steps through the ropes and into the ring where he takes center ring. A spotlight shines down on him as he removes his robe revealing a pair of long blue tights with black boots. Air brushed on the crotch of the tights is a head shot of Alyce Starchylde with a lollypop in her mouth. Tristan breaks out into a Glorious Gyration to a roar from the crowd.
The house lights come back up as the music fades away leaving a solid chant of "GLOR-IOUS! GLOR-IOUS! GLORIOUS NEW-BREED!"
Tristan and John talk a few things over.
Masters: And their opponents.
The fans roar with massive boo's!!!
Masters: About to make their way to the ring; first he is the WGWF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION... MDK!!! And his partner... ALYCE STARCHYLDE!!
The boo's reach a fever pitch as MDK struts out to the top rope with the World Title slung over his right shoulder and Alyce Starchylde on his left arm. MDK stops at the top of the ramp where he takes the World Title off his shoulder before hoisting it high in the air while looking directly at Tristan Slater. He and Alyce once again start to make the walk towards the ring.
The King and Queen of the WGWF reach ringside where Alyce climbs up on the ring apron before she sling shots over the top rope and into the ring while MDK steps through the ropes and into the ring where he dangles the World Title out towards Tristan Slater which garners a smile from the Glorious One followed by a simple head nod. The music fades away.
DING.... DING.... DING...
Diamond: We are set for our Monday Night Brawl Main Event! Glorious New Breed versus MDK and Starchylde!
Alyce steps out to the ring apron leaving MDK to start things off while across the ring we see John and Tristan face off before playing a rousing game of paper, rock, scissors to which Tristan's rock crushes Cable's scissors. John steps through the ropes and back out to the ring apron leaving The Glorious One standing across the ring from the very man that defeated him for the title, MDK.
Baxter: Former Champion and Current Champion starting this off.

MDK performs an aligator roll on Slater before cranking up on Tristan's head and neck. The Glorious One manages to counter out and into a Japanese Armbar! The fans roar as Slater quickly transitions into the Glorious Crossface!! The sold out crowd roars even louder only to have the winds taken out of their sails as the Champion escapes the hold before it's firmly locked in! MDK slides out to the floor where Alyce is shown hopping down to the floor joining him as they talk things over while we see Tristan is back to his feet where he strikes a full on Glorious Pose towards MDK and Alyce which garners their attention before Tristan turns towards Alyce and gives her a Glorious Gyration!
Diamond: He'll always be Tristan.
Alyce doesn't look impressed at all and nor should she be as Tristan follows up with a crotch chop before giving the middle finger. This draws the ire of Alyce as she looks at MDK with a furious look etched on her face. She nods her head before jumping up on the ring apron extending her hand out towards the ring. MDK shrugs his shoulders before climbing up on the ring apron. He steps through the ropes and makes the tag to his Queen.
Baxter: This might just get a little interesting.
Alyce walks right up to Slater where she slaps the taste out of his mouth! There's a sly smirk that comes across Slater's face as he turns his head back towards Alyce.

The referee simply shakes his head as we see Alyce turn around where she reaches down picking Cable up off the mat. Alyce rocks Cable with several forearm shots before delivering stiff leg kicks to Cable's right leg. Alyce attempts an Irish Whip which Cable easily counters and it's Starchydle that bounces off the ropes and eats a right boot to the face sending Alyce to the mat.

All hell is breaking loose in the ring as the official tries to separate John and MDK while Alyce has a mount on Slater and is choking him with both hands!! MDK and Cable shove the referee to the mat and out of the ring when suddenly the official calls for the bell.
DING.... DING.... DING....
The crowd boo's with the bell while back in the ring MDK and Cable continue to slug it out with Cable knocking MDK back into the ropes before sending him out to the floor with a clothesline over the top rope! Alyce gets up off Slater and as she turns around Cable snatches her by the hair and sends her out to the floor through the ropes with her King.
Masters: The referee has informed me that he is DISQUALIFYING BOTH TEAMS! This match is ruled a NO CONTEST!
The crowd shits all over the annoucement as John helps Slater to a vertical base in the ring while MDK and Alyce slowly start to back step up the ramp. The trash talking between the two teams.
Diamond: We knew this was going to fall apart.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMAN...."
There's a pop from the crowd as the voice of Flash Rotten is heard as he walks out to the top of the ramp. Alyce and MDK spin around looking up at the General Manager.
FLASH ROTTEN- "MY name is FLASH ROTTEN... And I am the General Manager of Monday Night Brawl..."
The crowd pops for Flash as he directs his attention towards MDK and Alyce with the Glorious New Breed behind them in the ring.
FLASH ROTTEN- "It seems that the four of you can't seem to do battle without getting a little hot headed, and while this match was just thrown out... I am RE-STARTING it!"
The fans roar as both MDK and Alyce are completely beside themselves on the floor!
FLASH ROTTEN- "Only this time I'm putting a man in charge that can TAKE CHARGE!"
The roof explodes!
Flash Rotten steps to the side as we see the Number One Contender for the WGWF World Heavyweight Championship "Chronic" Chris Page emerge out to the top of the ramp. Chris walks past Flash and starts to make his way down the ramp. He pushes through MDK and Starchydle to get to ringside. Page slides into the ring where he CALLS for the bell!
DING... DING... DING....
The music fades away the crowd is on fire! Page looks out to the floor waving Starchydle and MDK back towards the ring. Tristan walks to the ropes where he sits on the middle ropes while lifting up on the top rope motioning for MDK and Alyce to come on back.

Diamond: Flash Rotten has restarted this Main Event and named Chris Page the referee!
Baxter: If there's one man that can take charge it's indeed Chris Page...
All four participants start trading blows as Chris Page backs up into a neutral corner where he hops up and sits on the top turnbuckle watching the heated exchange between the Glorious New Breed and MDK and Alyce.

MONDAY NIGHT BRAWL
ROAD TO CAGED IN 2017
9.4.17
TARGET CENTER
MINNEAPOLIS, MN
The fans erupt as Chris Page emerges out to the top of the ramp. He's in a tailored black suit, sharply pressed white dress shirt, a deep red tie, and shiny black dress shoes. The former seven times WGWF World Heavyweight Champion starts to make the long walk towards the ring to the wild cheering of the sea of fans all around him as the chugging drums and guitars of 'Hail to the King' churn through the loudspeakers.
Diamond: It was just two weeks ago in our Main Event that Chris Page stamped his ticket to Caged In and a World Title opportunity against a man that he knows all too well, MDK.
Baxter: To say he was handed the opportunity by Kyle Shane is an understatement.
Chris reaches ringside as the fans along the railing bow down as he passes them. Looking back over his shoulder briefly with a sly smirk, he climbs up on to the ring apron before looking out over the sold out arena. He steps through the ropes slowly where he walks across the ring calling for the microphone.
Donald Masters hands Page the mic as the music fades away leaving a solid "CCP! CCP! CCP! CCP!" chant from the crowd directed towards the WGWF Icon. Chris nods his head as he raises the microphone.
CHRIS PAGE- "Thank you, what's up Minneapolis..."
The crowd pops loudly as Chris continues.
CHRIS PAGE- "I suppose we have a lot to cover coming off the last edition of Monday Night Brawl..."
Chris states before taking a mere second or two before he continues.
CHRIS PAGE- "It was right here in this very ring that I secured myself a shot at the WGWF World Heavyweight Champion MDK at the next Pay-Per-View properly entitled... Caged In."
Another cheap pop from the crowd is heard as Chris holds up his left hand, palm out which quiets the crowd down.
CHRIS PAGE- "This victory should mean everything to me right now, yet, when it's surrounded by the controversy that it is, it's sort of hard to properly gloat over especially when it comes to the caliber talent that John "The Beast" Cable has turned into over the last eight months or so."
Chris states with a sincere tone as he continues.
CHRIS PAGE- "That night, just two weeks ago, two men thought it best to stick their nose in my business where it CERTAINLY didn't belong. The first is the current World Heavyweight Champion MDK himself. Now, why would MDK try and cost someone like me a shot at his Title? Hmmmmm.... Let me think... Ah, that's right! I'm the ONLY man that's lifted the World Title from around his waist around these parts!"
The fans ROAR!!!
CHRIS PAGE- "So the better question should be... Why WOULDN'T MDK want to cost me a shot at that Title which rests over his shoulder? I'm not even that bent about it when I really sit back and think about it... Considering all he's done is loaded my shotgun for me to go ahead and pull the trigger on another failed title run that will leave him swallowing his pride, taking his ball and going home as usual."
Diamond: Page isn't pulling punches tonight!
There's a massive "CCP! CCP! CCP! CCP!" chant that filters throughout the entire building as we see Chris take a minute to soak in the pop from the crowd before he raises the microphone and continues.
CHRIS PAGE- "The second man that stuck his nose in my business rests with the self-proclaimed "God of Game" Kyle Shane."
There's a loud, mixed reception at the mention of Kyle's name.
CHRIS PAGE- "Rumor has it he's still bent over Hardcore Hell from many years back. Rumor has it... he's looking for the competition that ISN'T The Sentinel. Well Sunshine, consider this an OPEN CONTRACT to you Sir; a contract in which you can exercise at any time you choose to step back up to the grown folks table, any time you stop bitching and moaning about getting beat by a better man on that given night and anytime you want to get served up harder and faster than anything John Cable can come close to, you just go ahead and cash it in Cupcake!"
Baxter: The gauntlet has been laid down!!
CHRIS PAGE- "I'm about sick and tired of guys that think they're entitled to shit because they have name value in this business. I'm about sick and tired of my name popping up and out of the mouths of guys that would rather sit back and watch as opposed to stepping inside of THIS ring and earning it! Fuck what anyone has done in the past, including me, because the past isn't relevant. What's relevant is right here, right now and for all those out there that want to complain about me EARNING a shot at the World Title I welcome you to step to the plate and show the world you still got a set; or you can run your mouth on the sidelines. The choice is yours."
The fans ROAR!!
CHRIS PAGE- "As it stands right here, right now my focus has now completely shifted and my vision is solely directed towards you, MDK. You got something that I want... And come Caged In I'm GOING to take it... Again."
Chris drops the microphone as "Hail to the King" hits the speakers to a huge ovation from the crowd... When suddenly the music abruptly stops and fades instantly into....
As the drum and guitar riff of Pop Evil's 'Trenches' blares through the loudspeaker, The ramp is filled with green pin spots and smoke billowing from the floor. The fans cheer loudly as the WGWF's New Intercontinental Champion makes his way out onto the ramp in his black kick pants scrawled in neon green and white tribal patterns up the length of the left leg and a brand new tee shirt from WGWFInsider Merchandise with a giant Jimminy Cricket on the front with the words 'I still hear the crickets...' in bold black letters circling the graphic. The WGWF IC Title is draped over his shoulder, and his hand rests on it affectionately as he waves to the crowd, then brings a mic to his lips.
John Cable - “Chris... first... I would like to congratulate you on your win last week. It was a good match, right up until the end anyway, and I look forward to seeing you tear MDK apart at 'Caged In' in just a few months, I do. I wish you the best of luck, and I want you to know that there are no hard feelings about it. I know what went down inside that ring, but it wasn't just YOUR business they interfered in, now was it? Oh NO... it was my business too... and while you came out with the shot for the belt... it didn't prove anything between us, and it damned sure didn't satisfy my need to face the challenges before me. While I KNOW Chris Page isn't going to shy away from the World Title Shot... I know you also aren't going to shy away from the challenges ahead of you either.”
Chris Page - “What are you trying to get at here, John? Speak up... I'm a busy man.”
The crowd pops for the cocky bravado of Chris Page and then settles in to hear what John has to say on it...
John Cable - “What I'm saying, Chris, is this: While we still have some unfinished business revolving around who the better man is between us... we also have some unfinished business with the likes of MDK and Kyle Shane. I say before 'Caged In' comes rolling around, we figure out how to make our schedules work to settle both of those issues... You and me versus Kyle Shane and MDK to prove a point about sticking your nose where it doesn't belong... and then Chris Page versus Johnathan Cable to find out who the better man really is! What do you say? How about you guys... you want to see Chris Page and John Cable lay waste to the sorry bastards who stuck their nose into our business and ruined the Number One Contender spot for the World Title for all of you fans out there???”
The fans lose it and cheer wildly for the idea.
John Cable - “And what about me and Chris Page settling once and for all this whole cricket nonsense, huh?”
Again, the fans cheer wildly for the idea behind what could be a truly great match-up.
John Cable - “ Well, Chris... the fans want to see it... what about you, Brother?”
Chris raises his microphone.
CHRIS PAGE- "YOU'RE ON!"
The crowd roars as Chris and John shake hands and with that the scene fades backstage.
I'M COMING FOR YOU:
There's a loud pop from the crowd as the new WGWF Television Champion Erik Josten is warming up for his upcoming contest later on in the evening. He takes the WGWF Television Championship and slings it over his right shoulder where he turns to exit his locker room and is met by Nick Ryan.
NICK RYAN- "What's up, Champ?"
ERIK JOSTEN- "Don't you have a match with Andy that you should be getting ready for?"
NICK RYAN- "Andy Johnson? Ha! If you call it a match than sure."
ERIK JOSTEN- "Some tough talk from a guy that was beat by Andy at Summer Madness..."
Nick screams out at the top of his lungs.
NICK RYAN- "I DIDN'T LOSE!"
Erik smirks before stating.
ERIK JOSTEN- "Yeah, whatever you need to tell yourself."
Erik looks to walk past Nick only to see Nick block his path.
NICK RYAN- "I'm here to let you know face to face that I'm coming for that belt. Keep it warm for me."
Nick turns and leaves Erik standing in the door way of his locker room simply shaking his head as we cut back to ringside.
MATCH ONE:
CHRISTIAN CONNOLLY
versus
ANDRE "THE KING" DIXON
DING! DING! DING!
Dixon finally decides he's had enough of the turnbuckle and hops down to face Connolly. Both step to center to have a lively conversation with one another. Specifics cannot be delved into, but a few priests just died. Dixon reaches up and pie faces the Suntan Superman, staggering him back a step. He steps forward and delivers a stiff punch to the face of the King, erasing the grin that was just etched on his face.
Connolly drops the chain and pushes it out of the ring with her foot. Dixon recoils from the blow and moves for a collar and elbow tie-up, which Connolly obliges. Dixon brings him back to a turnbuckle. Bernie Roberts attempts to get in and break it up, but once he thinks Dixon is about to deliver an elbow, he hits the deck. Dixon delivers a knee to Connolly’s midsection, backs him into the ropes, sends him in for the Irish whip, and attempts to deliver a decapitating clothesline, but Connolly goes underneath. He then follows this up with a leap to the second rope, a quick turnaround, and a forearm that staggers the King up against the opposite side ropes.
Christian quickly gets up to his feet and thwarts any offense the King might have been planning with a stiff knife edge chop that makes the King reel off the ropes. Connolly levels him with another chop, the echo bouncing around the walls of the arena. Dixon ducks under the next chop, hook the arm and gets behind the Suntan Superman. He quickly hooks the other arm back and delivers a Tiger suplex. Roberts drops down for the count, but Connolly is able to get out before Bernie can get his arm halfway down for the one.
Both wrestlers make it up to their feet. The King comes in and attempts to deliver a punch, but Superman catches the arm, delivers a high muay-thai kick to the bicep, then delivers a back kick to the abdomen, Connolly spins around, grabs Dixon by the right leg, lifts up a little, hooking him in a fisherman position before dropping him down on his head in a DDT. He wastes no time in picking The King back up, delivering a neck chop and a kick to the midsection before running off the ropes. The King decides it’s time to perk up and hooks Christian around the waist before throwing him overhead in a belly to belly suplex that makes some of the front row fans cringe since he was all folded up on the ropes, like a…What’s the word?
Baxter: ACCORDION! BY GAWD LIKE AN-
Diamond: Please don't. We don't need another cease and desist letter.
Dixon doesn’t even bother going for the cover, instead he nudges Connolly with his foot, acting as if he is dead. He snickers and then does it again, much to his chagrin once Connolly grabs his foot, trips him, and slams his head into the second turnbuckle. Dixon bounces off and Connolly quickly grabs him, bringing him down with a small package.
ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
DING! DING! DING!
Masters: Here is your winner, CHRISTIAN CONNOLLY!!
Connolly has his arm raised in victory as he makes it to his feet. Behind him, Dixon drills Connolly from behind, sending him down. Dixon stomps away at Christian, letting out his frustration. Roberts tries to get in the middle, but Dixon shoves him down.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Dixon picks Connolly up and lifts him up, slamming him down with the Deadly Force. He gets to his feet and spits down at Connolly before climbing out the ring.
YOUR WORLD CHAMPION SPEAKS!
Denise Essex stands backstage with microphone in hand.
Essex: “I am standing here now with…”
A hand is raises and Denise leans off camera. She sighs, shakes her head and starts again.
Essex: “I am honoured to be standing here with the new WGWF World Heavyweight Champion M.D.K. ahead of two huge matches across the next two episodes of Monday Night Brawl.”
The camera pans out and we are met with a smirking M.D.K. who caresses the title on his shoulder.
M.D.K.: “The pleasure is all yours.”
Denise rolls her eyes before continuing.
Essex: “The first we all know about sees you and Alyce Starchylde taking on the Glorious New Breed but I want to hear your thoughts about the next match for you on the next Brawl. For the first time in pro-wrestling history, we will be able to see M.D.K. go one on one with James Raven.”
M.D.K.: “Well, the way I see it, kids like Jimmy need a step up the ladder and if I can help give him the push he needs from handing him his arse on a shiny silver platter then so be it. I’m putting it down as a tax deductible charitable donation for the year.”
Essex: “You… DO know who you have agreed to wrestle on September 14th don’t you?”
M.D.K.: “Exciting wrestling prospect Jimmy Raven! I know!”
Essex: “Yes… JAMES Raven… Hall of Fame Superstar, award winning icon of the WGWF and a Former WGWF World Heavyweight Champion…”
M.D.K.: “Ah you appear to have made a couple of things there sugar-tits. You are describing the alpha male, first, last and everything of the WGWF that stands before you but you have forgotten to add in that I am the CURRENT WGWF World Heavyweight Champion…”
Essex: “No…”
She sighs and places her hand to her face and shakes her head. M.D.K. can’t keep his composure much longer and cracks a smile.
M.D.K.: “Of course I know who he is you silly wench! Dear god after all this time, your interview skills haven’t improved. For the sake of the lucky production assistant you drunkenly pick on after the show, let’s hope your OTHER oral skills have improved with time…”
Denise looks angered by this but before she can retort, M.D.K. continues.
M.D.K.: “Look, James, Jimmy or J-Dog… Whatever he wants to be called. He’s just doing exactly what everybody has done since my return to the ring back at the Rumble… Paul Frost did it, Tristan and his pet pumpkin continue to do it, Chris Page is going to do it and Jimmy Raven is no different. They all want to make something out of being in the ring with me. Paul wanted glory by association, Tristan wanted to add my name to esteemed talent that couldn’t defeat him, Chris Page thinks that he can turn back the hands of father time by taking me on and Jimmy wants to try and make his name relevant again by stepping into the ring with me. I can’t blame them. People see the three simple letters and then they see dollar signs by association. Flash Rotten may keep trying everything in his power to stop me being the true King of the WGWF but the one this he values more than his pride is the almighty dollar and that is what I bring to this place each and every night…”
Essex: “Does a match like this benefit you? You speak of how it benefits James Raven, but do you think that you gain from this or is this purely another act of altruism from you?”
Her tone is thick with sarcasm as M.D.K. nods in approval.
M.D.K.: “Wow… the dolly bird of WGWF learned a new tone of voice! I’m impressed! Look, of course a match like this benefits me. I keep sharp in the ring against a man who has been to the top, I continue to be the biggest draw in this company and most importantly, continue to show to everybody and anybody that dares to stand up and take notice that this no greater in professional wrestling and specifically the WGWF in this era… or any other era past, present and future…”
“James has been there and done that and has self confidence that I would ALMOST be proud of. He has been at the very top of the mountain and of course he wants to see how an icon of another era fares against him. Our paths have never crossed and that travesty will come to an end on the next Brawl. Right there and then, in the middle of the ring, Jimmy will stand in the corner and cast his eyes on the alpha and omega of the WGWF… And before I have even laid a hand on him, he will realise that my excellence and superiority transcends eras.”
“I have beaten the odds time and time again, I have crushed the obstacles that have been set out before me, I have answered each of my critics and most importantly, I have defied the infinite void of time to be standing here now as your WGWF World Heavyweight Champion. Jimmy’s era came and went like every other peon, pissant and peasant that has been to the top and fallen down again. Mr Raven, you can have your match next week, you can have your last grasp at glory and then you can feel how each and every other has felt after stepping into the ring with me… Truly… and Utterly… INFERIOR!”
He stares at the camera briefly before something behind the camera catches his eye. He calls out to it.
M.D.K.: “Hey! You there! Awkward chap!”
The camera follows M.D.K. as he heads over to none other than ANDY JOHNSON at which point we can hear the crowd pop. The Everyday Normal Guy looks a cross between terrified and awestruck to have M.D.K. surge towards him and he freezes. M.D.K. smiles and stretches out a hand.
M.D.K.: “It’s Alan isn’t it?”
Johnson: “Err… Andy… Andy Johnson…”
Andy awkwardly shakes M.D.K.’s hand.
M.D.K.: “Yeah, that’s what I said. I’m M.D.K… The WGWF World Heavyweight Champion.”
Johnson: “I… I know who you are.”
M.D.K.: “Ah, a bit of an M.D.K. fan are you?”
Johnson: “I was thinking more about the fact we have had a match before… A singles match…”
M.D.K.: “Did we? Sorry kid, my victories stack up so much that I lose track of all the people I’ve had on their back in that ring… Just like Denise to be fair.”
Denise glowers at the champion who turns and offers her a wink before continuing.
M.D.K.: “I just wanted to formally introduce myself as I know your dad you see…”
Johnson: “Err… I know…”
M.D.K.: “Of course you do, of course you do. Do you know how I knew that you were Chris’ son?”
Johnson: “Is it because everybody in the WGWF knows and it has been televised continuously?”
M.D.K. remains deadpan and Johnson briefly considers running before M.D.K. busts out a fairly obvious fake laugh and roughly slaps Andy on the shoulder.
M.D.K.: “You’re a funny guy Alan! A funny, funny guy… No, you have the gleam.”
Johnson: “I’m sorry?”
M.D.K.: “The gleam in your eye. The same gleam that your dad used to have. The gleam that says that you have some fire inside you. A gleam that tells everybody that you are destined for big things… HUGE things… Things that will see you go far in the wrestling industry.”
Johnson: “You think so?”
M.D.K.: “I know so Alfie… All you need is the right support and the right coaching behind you and before you know it, you will have the world watching you in the main event and gold will be around your waist. All you need… is someone to believe in you…”
Johnson: “Well… thanks!”
M.D.K.: “Look, prove it tonight to me against Nick Ryan, show me and the rest of the world what that spark can truly do… Go get ‘em… CHAMP…”
M.D.K. saunters off leaving a very happy Andy Johnson in his wake…
MATCH 2:
SUMMER MADNESS REMATCH
ANDY JOHNSON
versus
NICK RYAN
Masters: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a SUMMER MADNESS REMATCH!
"Everyday Normal Guy" hits the speakers to a huge ovation from the crowd.
Masters: Introducing first, about to make his way to the ring.... "THE EVERYDAY NORMAL GUY" ANDY JOHNSON!!!
The ovation is massive as all heads shift to the top of the ramp looking for Andy to make his way out to the top of the ramp... Yet there's no Andy.
Baxter: I'm being told we've got something going on back behind the curtain!
Camera's rush back through the curtain and back to the gorilla positon where Nick Ryan has a mount on a bloody Andy Johnson where he's hammering down with hard right hands to an open wound. There's a dented up steel chair on the floor as we see Nick get up off Andy.
Diamond: Nick Ryan is assaulting the Number One Contender for the WGWF Television Championship.
Nick reaches down picking up the dented up steel chair. He slams is down against the concrete as we see Andy roll over to his chest and as he starts to push himself up off the floor it's ERIK JOSTEN who bursts on to the screen spearing Nick and driving him back against a concrete wall... But before anything else can happen the scene is flooded by security!
Baxter: Nick Ryan has laid out his opponent tonight!
Diamond: We don't know how bad it is but thank God Erik Josten made that save because there's no telling to what degree Nick was about to go too.
MATCH 3:
NON TITLE
KYLE SHANE
versus
ERIK JOSTEN (c)
‘In the Morning and Amazing’ by Circa Survive plays… The big screen shows shots of Kyle’s matches. Kyle Shane steps slowly out onto the stage. The Assassins hood to his long-coat is pulled low over his face. The distinctive voice of Anthony Green hits the bridge:
"And how could anyone, you are in my dreams. Half human, half machine. You with someone else that I have felt and seen. I cannot rest, or my consciousness contest. Looking right through the lens. From winter brings the spring again..." Kyle tilts his head back and holds his arms out, taking in the reception of the crowd. The crowd gets on its feet for the returning God of Game.
Masters: “The following NON-TITLE contest is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring from Boston, Massachusetts and weighing in at 218lbs… The God of Game… Kyle… SHANE!”
Baxter: “Kyle is walking to a match against a man who is holding onto gold and that will eat at him.”
Diamond: “He had a battle against one big man last week, how will he fare against The Wrecking Ball?”
There are pockets of people that are irritated and give their negative reaction to the flippy, smarky, self-absorbed Game Changer, but a vast majority of the people know his history and his accomplishments, if not his in-ring prowess. Some even give him a fanning bow as Kyle swaggers down the aisle. Halfway down the aisle, Kyle pivots, holding his arms up to either side of him. He climbs onto the apron. Kyle balances on the ropes for a moment, points to himself and smirks, holding his arms out, and then he hops down, takes off his long-coat and stretches a few times to get ready.
All the lights in the arena go out, which sends the audience into a frenzy of cheers and screams.
KEEP IT 100…
The crowd roars to its feet, clapping along with the beat. Cell phone screens and camera flashes start illuminating the blackness. Erik Josten throws the curtain aside and strides out onto the stage. He takes a moment to pause and survey the crowd with chin held high and hands on hips. With a look of extreme focus, he marches down the ramp, taking the time to slap a few hands along the way.
Masters: “And his opponent, from Seattle, Washington and weighing in at 320lbs… He is the current reigning, defending and undisputed WGWF Television Champion… Erik… Josten!”
He stops as he gets to the ring and holds his head down. After he mouths some words to himself, he lets out an animalistic roar (think Roman Reigns before the spear) and climbs in the ring.
Baxter: “The new champion is here and how is he going to deal with the weight of that belt weighing him down?”
Diamond: “Of all the tests for a champion, a non-title match against Kyle Shane is not what anybody would wish for.”
Once in the ring, Josten climbs the middle turnbuckle in one corner of the ring and pumps a fist in the air as the fans cheer.
The pair circle each other in the middle of the ring as the bell chimes to start the match and the pair go for a collar and elbow tie up from the off with Josten immediately and obviously taking control and forcing Shane back into the counter but the smaller man is able to wriggle through and goes behind Josten and wraps his arms around the waist of the Television Champion. Erik reaches back and attempts an elbow swing at Kyle but he leans back to allow Josten to spin through and Shane leaps up to deliver a leaping STO but Josten catches the God of Game and drives him down to the mat with a hard slam!
Baxter: “First display of power tonight from Josten who is flexing his Champion muscles.”
Shane remains on his back and stares up at Josten who makes a title belt gesture around his waist and clearly asks Shane where his belt is. Shane rolls backwards to his feet and the two go to lock up again but Shane ducks through and counters with a flurry of quick kicks to the midriff of the Americanimal and backs him up with a few forearm shots. Shane grabs the arm of Josten and attempts an Irish whip but the big man holds his ground. Shane pulls hard but Josten shakes his head and pulls The God of Game towards him and hauls him up but Shane leaps up and hits a head-scissors take-down to the Television Champion that gets the crowd on its feet and leaves Josten looking momentarily stunned.
Diamond: “And now Kyle Shane gets to bare his teeth.”
Kyle winks at the Television champion as he gets to his feet and tilts his head to crack his neck. The pair ties up again in the centre of the ring and Josten quickly forces Shane back into the corner and holds him there as the referee calls for the break. Josten holds Shane in place as the referee makes the count for the rope-break and Josten finally releases on the count of four. The referee admonishes the Erik but is interrupted by a forearm that connects with the side of Josten’s head who looks stunned and angry in equal measure but can’t react before a second and a third send him into the middle of the ring. The Game Changer then takes a step forward and charges at Josten but is caught and charged back into the corner where Josten follows up with a quick set of shoulder barges that drive the wind out of the former Intercontinental Champion. Erik straightens up takes a couple of steps back and measures Shane up and charges forwards for an avalanche that connects leading The God of Game to stagger into the centre of the ring as Josten backs into the ropes and hits a running shoulder block that flattens Kyle Shane!
Diamond: “That was a 320lbs SCUD missile that just flattened The God of Game!”
Baxter: “I hear North Korea wants tips from Josten on his trajectory…”
Kyle clutches at his ribs as Erik roars to the crowd as his raises his arms and poses for the flashbulbs. He reaches down for his adversary and grabs him by his hair and connects with a couple of forearms before scooping him up and dumping him back onto the mat before making a cover!
1!
2!
But Kyle kicks out to the dismay of the TV Champion who shakes his head and offers himself a wry smile before climbing back to his feet and delivering a couple of boots to his downed foe before dragging him up to his feet by his arm and Shane fights back with a couple of kicks to the arm of the Champion who goes to drag The Game Changer back towards him but he is able to slide between Josten’s legs and trips up the Wrecking Ball with his own arm and quickly follows up with a leg-drop all the while still holding onto Josten’s arm. He rolls to his feet to crank on the arm as the Television Champion tries to battle to his feet but Shane keeps the pressure on his arm by wrenching it again! Josten grits his teeth as Shane makes his way over to the turnbuckle and hits a few kicks to the shoulder socket of the Americanimal before climbing onto the middle turnbuckle and then tentatively onto the top turnbuckle!
Diamond: “Kyle Shane going to the high risk district!”
Baxter: “This boy doesn’t know how to not risk his own health at times!”
He leaps off and somersaults and arm-drags Erik Josten across the ring with a high impact arm-drag takedown to the delight of the crowd! Shane climbs back to his feet and continues to favour his ribs as Josten nurses his shoulder in the corner.
Diamond: “Both men are taking nasty knocks in this match.”
Baxter: “That is the result of both men favouring high risk, high impact moves!”
Shane is up to his feet first though and makes his way over to the Television champion who greets him with a right hand that staggers him backwards. Josten is still on one knee as Shane staggers back a step and holds his jaw as if to check that it is still in place before moving back towards Josten only to be met with another right hand that has the same effect. Shane composes himself again and makes his way back towards Josten onto to see him charge towards him to deliver a brutal lariat but Kyle is too quick, drops down and delivers a high impact drop toehold that smashes Erik face first into the canvas as The God of Game tends to his lip to check if it’s bleeding as the referee tends to Josten who is sporting a very swollen lip from the impact!
Diamond: “Kyle Shane is using his speed to his advantage.”
Baxter: “And Josten’s own momentum to split his lip wide open and that will do nothing for the big man’s mood.”
Josten gets on all fours as Shane steps towards the Americanimal and grabs him by the back of the head and holds him in place as he delivers MMA style knees to the face and chest of Josten before taking a step backwards, he measures up the TV Champion and charges forwards and into a Great American Drop Samoan Drop!
Diamond: “Huge impact there! And he hooks the leg!”
1!
2!
But Shane is able to power out with a kickout! Josten climbs to his knees and drags Kyle up to his feet with him as Josten gets upright and grabs Shane by the hair and delivers a headbutt to the forehead of the Game Changer who goes to drop to one knee but Josten catches him and delivers another and then another and then hauls Shane into the air and then spins him on the mat before driving The God of Game into the mat!
Diamond: “American Revolution on Kyle Shane!”
He reaches forwards and hooks the leg!
1!
2!
Kick out!
Kyle Shane bursts out of the pin and rolls onto his side as Josten kneels up and shakes his head and rubs his face baffled at the kickout. He climbs to his feet and drags Shane with him but the God of Game counters by flinging Josten’s arms off of him and connects with a few forearms that back Josten into the ropes. Shane whips Josten across the ring to the opposite ropes and as the Americanimal returns, Shane hits a standing dropkick that only staggers Josten. Shane deftly pops back to his feet, eyes up Josten and hits a standing hurricanrana but Josten stands firm and catches Shane mid-air and adjusts his position!
Baxter: “Josten going for the Fastball Special!”
Josten charges Shane towards the turnbuckle but Shane is able to adjust his weight once again and this time completes the hurricanrana, releases the legs and sends Josten face-first into the top turnbuckle!
Diamond: “What agility! What speed from the Game Changer and that could well have changed this match-up into Kyle Shane’s favour!”
Josten holds himself up on the top turnbuckle and composes himself as Kyle Shane psyches himself up as the crowd get excited. Shane stalks Josten, grabs him by the back of his head and drives him to the mat with the Lens of Truth. He wrenches on the neck of Josten who grabs at his neck and flails as Kyle hollers at Josten to submit!
Baxter: “Lens of Truth on Josten!”
Josten reaches for the ropes but he’s too far away as he stretches out for the ropes with both hands as his face turns a deep red! He places his hands onto the mat and pushes himself up with Shane on his back!
Diamond: “Look at the strength! The power from Erik Josten!”
Josten adjusts Shane onto his shoulders and turns it into the Golden Gate Bridge Torture Rack! Shane flails and struggles as Josten roars in rage as Shane’s legs flail.
Baxter: “Josten has Shane in trouble! This could be it.”
Josten aggressively bumps Shane onto his shoulder hard but Shane uses the lift to leap from the shoulders of Josten and in one fluid movement, grabs the head of Josten as he comes down and turns it into a headlock driver on the way down!
Diamond: “Pieces of Eden! Pieces of Eden out of nowhere!”
Shane hooks the legs!
1!
2!
3!
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Masters: “Here is your winner… Kyle Shane!”
The referee raises the hand of Kyle who pulls away to favour his ribs again from the impact earlier. Josten hammers the mat in anger at the defeat as Shane climbs out of the ring with a pained smile on his face.

DING... DING... DING....
Masters: The following Tag Team contest is your MONDAY NIGHT BRAWL Main Event of the Evening...
The fans ERUPT as the house lights dim to darkness! The drums and guitar kick in as a single spotlight hits the top of the ramp revealing the back of Tristan Slater who is dressed in a blue robe with diamond trim and the word "GLORIOUS" written across the back of the robe with his arms extended out in a "Glorious pose". The lyrics hit and as Tristan spins around the fans ROAR! The ovation grows as the Intercontinental Champion JOHN CABLE emerges out to the top of the ramp where he walks with a purpose towards the ring; the Intercontinental Title strapped around his waist. The Glorious One starts to make his walk towards the ring while we see John has already climbed up on the ring apron before stepping over the top rope and into the squared circle where he starts pacing back and forth like a caged animal.
Tristan reaches ringside where he makes his way up the steel steps to the ring arpon. He motions for the referee to open the ropes. The official sits on the middle rope while pushing up on the top rope. The Glorious One steps through the ropes and into the ring where he takes center ring. A spotlight shines down on him as he removes his robe revealing a pair of long blue tights with black boots. Air brushed on the crotch of the tights is a head shot of Alyce Starchylde with a lollypop in her mouth. Tristan breaks out into a Glorious Gyration to a roar from the crowd.
The house lights come back up as the music fades away leaving a solid chant of "GLOR-IOUS! GLOR-IOUS! GLORIOUS NEW-BREED!"
Tristan and John talk a few things over.
Masters: And their opponents.
The fans roar with massive boo's!!!
Masters: About to make their way to the ring; first he is the WGWF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION... MDK!!! And his partner... ALYCE STARCHYLDE!!
The boo's reach a fever pitch as MDK struts out to the top rope with the World Title slung over his right shoulder and Alyce Starchylde on his left arm. MDK stops at the top of the ramp where he takes the World Title off his shoulder before hoisting it high in the air while looking directly at Tristan Slater. He and Alyce once again start to make the walk towards the ring.
The King and Queen of the WGWF reach ringside where Alyce climbs up on the ring apron before she sling shots over the top rope and into the ring while MDK steps through the ropes and into the ring where he dangles the World Title out towards Tristan Slater which garners a smile from the Glorious One followed by a simple head nod. The music fades away.
DING.... DING.... DING...
Diamond: We are set for our Monday Night Brawl Main Event! Glorious New Breed versus MDK and Starchylde!
Alyce steps out to the ring apron leaving MDK to start things off while across the ring we see John and Tristan face off before playing a rousing game of paper, rock, scissors to which Tristan's rock crushes Cable's scissors. John steps through the ropes and back out to the ring apron leaving The Glorious One standing across the ring from the very man that defeated him for the title, MDK.
Baxter: Former Champion and Current Champion starting this off.
MDK and Slater walk out towards the center of the ring where the jaw jacking begins. They lock up center ring to a massive ovation as both men jockey for position before MDK is snapped over to the mat with a arm drag take over! Slater pops back up to his feet where he runs his finger tip up his chest before flinging the sweat at the World Heavyweight Champion as he reaches one knee.
Diamond: Typical Slater!
MDK steps back up to his feet where he and Slater look to lock up where MDK thumbs Slater in the eye to loud boo's from the crowd. Tristan clutches at his eyes which exposes him to a double leg take down my MDK who floats over and rolls Slater over to his stomach before taking a front face lock where he starts driving knee's to the top of Slater's head! The referee is in position checking on Slater while asking him if he wants to surrender.
Baxter: Let this be a lesson to all the peons that this is what happens when you besmirch the King!
MDK performs an aligator roll on Slater before cranking up on Tristan's head and neck. The Glorious One manages to counter out and into a Japanese Armbar! The fans roar as Slater quickly transitions into the Glorious Crossface!! The sold out crowd roars even louder only to have the winds taken out of their sails as the Champion escapes the hold before it's firmly locked in! MDK slides out to the floor where Alyce is shown hopping down to the floor joining him as they talk things over while we see Tristan is back to his feet where he strikes a full on Glorious Pose towards MDK and Alyce which garners their attention before Tristan turns towards Alyce and gives her a Glorious Gyration!
Diamond: He'll always be Tristan.
Alyce doesn't look impressed at all and nor should she be as Tristan follows up with a crotch chop before giving the middle finger. This draws the ire of Alyce as she looks at MDK with a furious look etched on her face. She nods her head before jumping up on the ring apron extending her hand out towards the ring. MDK shrugs his shoulders before climbing up on the ring apron. He steps through the ropes and makes the tag to his Queen.
Baxter: This might just get a little interesting.
Alyce walks right up to Slater where she slaps the taste out of his mouth! There's a sly smirk that comes across Slater's face as he turns his head back towards Alyce.
"GLORIOIUS" TRISTAN SLATER- "THAT'S IT? THAT'S ALL YOU GOT?"
Tristan pie faces Starchylde and shoves her back several feet.
"GLORIOUS" TRISTAN SLATER- "GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE."

Diamond: It's only a matter of time before these two stand in the ring for singles action but as for here and now these fans are going absolutely crazy!!
John and MDK circle each other in the ring before looking to lock up where MDK drives a boot to the midsection doubling over the IC Champion for him to start opening up with right hands to loud boo's from the crowd as MDK backs Cable up against the ropes before slinging him across the ring, Cable reverses and it's MDK who bounces off the ropes and into a Tilt-A-Whirl Slam by Cable!

All hell is breaking loose in the ring as the official tries to separate John and MDK while Alyce has a mount on Slater and is choking him with both hands!! MDK and Cable shove the referee to the mat and out of the ring when suddenly the official calls for the bell.
DING.... DING.... DING....
The crowd boo's with the bell while back in the ring MDK and Cable continue to slug it out with Cable knocking MDK back into the ropes before sending him out to the floor with a clothesline over the top rope! Alyce gets up off Slater and as she turns around Cable snatches her by the hair and sends her out to the floor through the ropes with her King.
Masters: The referee has informed me that he is DISQUALIFYING BOTH TEAMS! This match is ruled a NO CONTEST!
The crowd shits all over the annoucement as John helps Slater to a vertical base in the ring while MDK and Alyce slowly start to back step up the ramp. The trash talking between the two teams.
Diamond: We knew this was going to fall apart.
"LADIES AND GENTLEMAN...."
There's a pop from the crowd as the voice of Flash Rotten is heard as he walks out to the top of the ramp. Alyce and MDK spin around looking up at the General Manager.
FLASH ROTTEN- "MY name is FLASH ROTTEN... And I am the General Manager of Monday Night Brawl..."
The crowd pops for Flash as he directs his attention towards MDK and Alyce with the Glorious New Breed behind them in the ring.
FLASH ROTTEN- "It seems that the four of you can't seem to do battle without getting a little hot headed, and while this match was just thrown out... I am RE-STARTING it!"
The fans roar as both MDK and Alyce are completely beside themselves on the floor!
FLASH ROTTEN- "Only this time I'm putting a man in charge that can TAKE CHARGE!"
The roof explodes!
Flash Rotten steps to the side as we see the Number One Contender for the WGWF World Heavyweight Championship "Chronic" Chris Page emerge out to the top of the ramp. Chris walks past Flash and starts to make his way down the ramp. He pushes through MDK and Starchydle to get to ringside. Page slides into the ring where he CALLS for the bell!
DING... DING... DING....
The music fades away the crowd is on fire! Page looks out to the floor waving Starchydle and MDK back towards the ring. Tristan walks to the ropes where he sits on the middle ropes while lifting up on the top rope motioning for MDK and Alyce to come on back.

Baxter: If there's one man that can take charge it's indeed Chris Page...
All four participants start trading blows as Chris Page backs up into a neutral corner where he hops up and sits on the top turnbuckle watching the heated exchange between the Glorious New Breed and MDK and Alyce.
