WGWF PRESENTS
MONDAY NIGHT BRAWL
SUMMER MADNESS WORLD TOUR
SOLD OUT
4.30.18
OSAKA-JO HALL
OSAKA, JAPAN
Monday Night Brawl takes the air from Osaka, Japan as…
There’s a positive response from the Japanese fans that have sold out the arena as Matt Hopkins from the WGWF Board of Directors emerges out to the top of the ramp dressed for business in a fine tailored suit as he starts to make his way towards the ring tagging a few hands along the way. He reaches ringside where he climbs up on the ring apron as Donald Masters voice is heard.
MASTERS: Ladies and Gentleman please welcome MATT HOPKINS!!!
Matt steps through the ropes and enter the ring as he’s handed the microphone from Donald Masters before Donald exits the ring. The music fades away as the Japanese crowd quickly quiets down as Matt raises the microphone to his lips and starts to address the camera.
MATT HOPKINS- “I’ve never been a man to occupy precious television time so allow me to cut straight to the point by first welcoming this sold out crowd in Osaka to the first stop on the WGWF Summer Madness World Tour!”
There’s a pop from the crowd as the sound of a translator is heard over the loud speakers.
MATT HOPKINS- “We are coming off the heels of what was arguably the single greatest Wrestle Wars in this company’s history, and while some scores have been settled there’s more that are just getting started. One score specifically that I am out here to address revolves around the Adam Barker/Flash Rotten encounter that saw Flash Rotten defeat Adam Barker to remain the SOLE General Manager of Monday Night Brawl. It is at this time that I’d like to bring out your undisputed General Manager of Monday Night Brawl…. FLASH ROTTEN!!!”
Osaka, Japan roars loudly as Flash Rotten is shown walking out to the top of the ramp with a huge smirk on his face as he’s in his black suit. Flash extends his arms out to each side soaking in the ovation before he starts to make the walk towards the ring. Matt Hopkins is shown applauding Flash while he’s in transit to the ring. Once ringside we see Flash now climb up on the ring apron where he steps through the ropes and into the ring where he’s greeted by a handshake from Matt Hopkins. The music fades away leaving the solid ovation from the crowd to be heard before they once again quiet down.
MATT HOPKINS- “Flash…”
Matt states as he turns facing the General Manager of Monday Night Brawl.
MATT HOPKINS- “I am here tonight to stand before you and give you the official backing of the WGWF Board of Directors and as of this moment we fully support you and your decisions.”
Flash slightly bows his head as Matt Hopkins hands Flash the microphone before shaking his hand one more time. Matt Hopkins then makes his exit giving Flash Rotten the ring. Flash looks down at the microphone and then out across the sea of 16,000 fans that have jam packed the building before shrugging his shoulders as he raises the microphone.
FLASH ROTTEN- “LADIES AND GENTLEMAN… My name is FLASH ROTTEN, and I am the UNDISPUTED General Manager of Monday Night Brawl!!”
There’s a loud pop from the crowd as the transalor finishes.
FLASH ROTTEN- “I don’t care if you belong to a Royal Family, I don’t care if you belong to a New Breed, I don’t care if you refer to yourself as a GOD and I don’t care how violent you think you are because you’re all officially under my thumb now and I don’t do the intimidation game. It’s back to business as usual and it’s back to providing the WGWF audience with what they’ve paid to see; the best in ring action money can buy!”
There’s another pop from the crowd.
FLASH ROTTEN- “I’m not here to cater to ego’s or provide opportunities if the opportunity isn’t deserved. It was just over a year ago that I had some sense beaten into me by one Andy Johnson-Page…”
There’s a MASSIVE ovation at the mention of Andy’s name.
FLASH ROTTEN- “I came out here in front of the WGWF universe and the boys that occupy that locker room where I humbled myself and told you all that I have the best interest of this program at heart; I said it and I meant it, my track record should clearly show… and now that Adam Barker is out of our hair we can officially get back to business which starts TONIGHT!”
A massively loud/mixed reception echo’s out from all over the arena as attention diverts towards the top of the ramp where THE Tristan Slater is shown walking out to the top of the ramp in some faded jeans, white hi-tops, a black hoodie zipped half way up over a white t-shirt with the World Title resting over his right shoulder as he stops at the top of the ramp and applauds Flash Rotten.
Flash simply shakes his head as THE Tristan Slater then starts to make the walk towards the ring and while on the way he completely ignores the fans that reach out towards him. Once he reaches ringside we see Slater walk up the ring steps where he reaches the ring apron. THE Tristan Slater steps through the ropes and into the ring. The WGWF World Heavyweight Champion stands across from the General Manager of Monday Night Brawl. Tristan calls for a microphone of his own which he’s handed by a ringside attendant as his music fades away.
FLASH ROTTEN- “What could you possibly want from me right now?”
THE Tristan Slater snickers under his breath as he raises his microphone.
THE TRISTAN SLATER- “Is that how you greet the guy that’s successfully defended the WGWF World Heavyweight Championship at back to back Wrestle Wars?”
Flash quickly responds.
FLASH ROTTEN- “If by successfully defending the Championship involves pinning someone that wasn’t in the match from the beginning is successfully, then sure, so again I ask, what could you possibly want from me right now?”
THE TRISTAN SLATER- “I suppose correcting you would be the first thing when you reference pinning someone or not would rest with the stipulation of the match itself, I didn’t call for a Handicap Match but I did damn sure exploit it when the time was right; not my fault I’m an opportunist and I took advantage of a situation that was presented to me, so yeah, I successfully defended my title.”
FLASH ROTTEN- “Whatever you need to tell yourself.”
THE TRISTAN SLATER- “Need I remind you that if it wasn’t for me saving your ass a few weeks back you might not have walked into Wrestle Wars Twelve to defend your job, sir.”
FLASH ROTTEN- “Yeah, yeah, yeah… I owe you one, we all know. Is this coming to collect on that favor?”
THE Tristan Slater smirks as he shakes his head “no” before he states.
THE TRISTAN SLATER- “Not at all, sir. This is me simply walking out here to congratulate you on your victory at Wrestle Wars and to look you in the eyes while telling you how good it’s going to be working for you.”
Some boos filter throughout the arena.
THE TRISTAN SLATER- “And since I vanquished Alyce Starchylde at Wrestle Wars via The Jackdaw I was out here tonight to see what’s next for me in regards to a challenger for the WGWF World Heavyweight Championship. See in my eyes there’s but one challenger that I actually WANT to stand in this ring with; M.D.K.”
The crowd quiets down at the mention of MDK’s name.
THE TRISTAN SLATER- “He’s got this twenty four/seven contract hanging over my head and if I’m being perfectly honest with you playing childish games isn’t how I conduct business. Let’s end the speculation and get this thing on the books.”
Flash responds.
FLASH ROTTEN- “As much as I want to see Slater versus MDK and as much as the WGWF Universe wants to see Slater versus MDK that rematch isn’t up to me to grant. When Adam Barker signed off on that contract that’s something I can’t reverse in regards to the rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship and there’s no favor that’s going to change that.”
Flash pauses for just a moment before he looks the World Champion in the eyes and states.
FLASH ROTTEN- “But what I can do is book THE Tristan Slater versus MD….”
The Japanese fans pop big as John “The Beast” Cable emerges out to the top of the ramp with a microphone in hand and as he starts to talk the music quickly cuts.
JOHN CABLE- “Wait, wait, wait, hang on a second I need to make sure I’m hearing all this correctly.”
John states while walking towards the ring as THE Tristan Slater simply shakes his head.
JOHN CABLE- “Correct me if I am wrong but uh, don’t I own a victory over THE Tristan Slater since he won the World Title?”
THE Tristan Slater glances towards Flash as he states.
THE TRISTAN SLATER- “Do you have a shot of penicillin to get rid of this fucking guy?”
John’s voice breaks in.
JOHN CABLE- “Cute Tristan, and from what I hear that shot might do you some good son.”
John steps up to the ring apron before stepping over the top rope and into the squared circle where he’s cut off by THE Tristan Slater.
THE TRISTAN SLATER- “Sorry big guy but this title match is reserved for someone that didn’t choke at Wrestle Wars, again.”
John smiles at Tristan before stating.
JOHN CABLE- “That might be true, choke or not doesn’t change the fact that I own a victory over the WGWF World Heavyweight Champion.”
John looks past Tristan and towards Flash Rotten.
JOHN CABLE- “With Wrestle Wars in the rearview it seems the Chump, I mean Champ here is looking for his next contender; well I say you’re looking at him!”
The crowd pops for the Beast as Flash starts to rub his chin before THE Tristan Slater jumps in.
THE TRISTAN SLATER- “You’re not seriously considering this, are you?”
Flash directs his attention towards THE Tristan Slater as he states.
FLASH ROTTEN- “Not only am I condering it… You know what, I’ve got it! Monday Night, May 28th at the Beijing National Stadium we’re going to see JOHN “THE BEAST” CABLE versus THE TRISTAN SLATER for the WGWF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!”
The crowd pops big time with the match announcement as THE Tristan Slater is livid as he turns and kicks the bottom rope out of frustration as we hear Flash continue.
FLASH ROTTEN- “And if memory serves me correct the way John got that victory over you was via Disqualification from MDK, so to make sure that this match has a clear and cut winner we’re going to see this take place inside a FIFTEEN-FOOT-HIGH STEEL CAGE where the only way you’re going to win this contest is by escaping the Cage!!!
The ovation grows louder as John nods his head in approval.
FLASH ROTTEN- “But hey that’s in four weeks, so let’s talk about what we’re going to see in two weeks…”
As if the opening of Tristan’s night couldn’t get any worse.
FLASH ROTTEN- “Two weeks from tonight I’m going to give you both an opportunity to get your hands on each other before the World Title Steel Cage Match… by putting you in a Tag Team Match; not just any Tag Team Match, a Strange Bedfellows Tag Team Match that will see John Cable teaming for the first time ever with MDK as they take on the team of THE Tristan Slater and his partner… ALYCE STARCHYLDE!”
Neither man is happy about that decision as the crowd pops once again.
FLASH ROTTEN- “And that my friends… IS FINAL!”
Flash tosses his microphone before making his exit from the ring leaving an intense stare down between both John and the reigning/defending WGWF World Heavyweight Champion as the scene fades.
THE FALL OF ADAM BARKER
The cameras are locked into a view of the entrance to the parking lot to the arena. Already, a multitude of vehicles are parked up, inclusive of production trucks and personal motors. Pulling up into the parking lot and reversing into a tight-looking spot next to the arena wall comes a pristinely white limousine. The engine continues to run as the driver steps out and walks towards the rear of the luxurious vehicle. He opens the door upon reaching it and holds it open, staring off into the distance. The door begins to close slightly. The driver steps away.
The door to the limousine wiggles back and forth before suddenly being thrust open. A foot extends beyond the door before planting itself on the floor. With an unsteady heave, Adam Barker suddenly emerges from the vehicle, swaying backwards and forwards like a foal trying to stand for the first time. His suit is in tatters; covered in stains from various strains on alcohol and bile.
He holds a near empty bottle of whiskey in his hand, which he tilts into his mouth. So far back does he have to lean his head that he falls backwards into the limousine window, this being the only thing keeping him upright at this stage. It is a far cry from the expressively poised determined man that once had control over this company. Losing his beloved corporation to Flash Rotten at WrestleWars seems to have hit him hard.
Diamond- “It looks like Adam Barker is looking for answers at the bottom of the bottle.”
Baxter- “It looks like he’s PLASTERED to me.”
Trying to shake every last drop from the bottle, Barker lets out an annoyed grunt and launches the bottle across the parking lot. It smashes against a faraway wall as Adam stumbles his way across the car park. A security officer quickly approaches him, sensing the hostility amidst his intoxication.
SECURITY GUARD- “Mr. Barker, sir, I’m under instructions to remove you from the premises. You are clearly in no condition to be here.
ADAM BARKER- “Don’t you not know who yer talkin’ to!?”
Barker’s words are slurred and unclear, certainly a significant difference from the well-versed and confident man that existed two weeks ago.
SECURITY GUARD- “I’m sorry, sir. But either you can either leave accordingly, or I will remove you. The choice is yours.”
ADAM BARKER- “I’ll have your badge, you… *hic*… shon-of-a-bitsch…”
Barker winds back a punch. He swings meekly, misses, and slumps into the security guard’s arms. The security guard shakes his head. Barker appears to be snoring… but closer inspection reveals that… he’s CRYING!
ADAM BARKER- “What did I do? What did I… *hic*… do to desherve thish!? I’ve losshed every…*hic*… thing!”
SECURITY GUARD- “Maybe you should focus on getting yourself sober. Then you can work on rebuilding your life. But you’re not going to do that here. And you’re not going to do that now.”
With that, the security guard pushes Adam Barker back. He falls flat on his backside and rolls onto his side. He pathetically tries to push himself back up onto all fours, crawling away like a dog. The security guard simply shakes his head in disbelief once more.
Diamond- “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I actually feel BAD for Adam Barker… The WGWF meant everything to him. He built it from the ground up!”
Baxter- “It’s like having access rights to your kids being taken away from you. Anyone would be upset.”
Diamond- “We can only hope the situation improves for Adam Barker.”
The cameras cut to commercial.
JOHN TOLLY versus THE SENTINEL
Blind By Korn
Blind plays as Tolly makes his way to the top of the ramp, as Jonathan Davis yells out "ARE YOU READY?" Tolly throws up devil horns before looking side to side and making his way to the ring. He slides in the ring giving a snalring smirk before hitting the turnbuckle and yelling at the crowd.
Freak Of Nature 92 by Mike Tramp of White Lion.
Any boos in the audience had been quickly converted to sounds of happiness. Out from the back meandered the Sentinel complete with his trusty sidekick. Perhaps it was over confidence, but Sentinel issued a grin on his face as he stood at ringside and glared into the eyes of Tolly.
Sentinel climbed up onto the ring apron and entered the ring. Tolly immediately came face to face with the Sentinel. The referee tried to keep them apart, but each time the referee moved Tolly back, he would simply step back forward into Sentinel. Sentinel stood there motionless with that grin on his face, amused at Tolly’s frustration. Tolly had enough of this and pushed the referee back a few steps and…
*SMACK*
Tolly slapped the spit right out of Sentinel’s mouth and stepped into him face to face once again.
DING
DING
DING
The referee called for the bell at the first sight of physical contact.
*SMACK*
Sentinel chopped the holy hell out of Tolly's chest. He crumpled to the mat in pain as the smile was gone from Sentinel's face. He picked Tolly up by the throat and held him high over his head before slamming him down with a vicious chokeslam. He put a boot on top of his chest for the cover.
One.
Two.
A thousand.
DING
DING
DING
Masters: Here is your winner...THE SENTINEL!!
The referee raises the Sentinel's hand in victory but Sentinel doesn't get to bask in his glory for too long as Erik Josten is making his way down the aisle. Dressed in street clothes, he climbs in the ring and brushes past the Sentinel, demanding the microphone from Donald Masters. Masters wastes no time in giving it to him.
Josten: Alright, I'm done playing these stupid games! I don't know who the hell you are and I really don't care. Dark Truth, get your ass out here and let's settle this!
"RAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Josten paces around a bit.
Josten: I'm not playing around! Get your ass out here now!
Nothing.
Josten continues to pace angrily.
Josten: You know what, whoever you're a fucking coward!
Erik slams the mic down and climbs out the ring. He walks up the aisle muttering to himself. When all of a sudden...
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
Erik stops and turns around, looking around the arena. He doesn't see the Dark Truth anywhere in sight.
"Erik... when will you learn? You don't make the rules. I DO!"
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
Erik stands at the top of the stage, staring out to the ring as the laughter continues. Erik roars in anger before stomping off.
NON TITLE:
KYLE SHANE and PAUL FROST © versus LUKE RIGGS and DUSTIN HOLT
Riggs and Holt are already in the ring as the opening notes of "The Catalyst" by Linkin Park queue up on the speakers as on the screen, a video game drop down menu opens and the cursor hovers over the options, "LOAD GAME, SAVE GAME" before coming to the first option, "START GAME" and highlighting it. Kyle Shane steps slowly out onto the stage. The Assassins hood to his long-coat is pulled low over his face. The distinctive duo of Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda rises in tempo as it begins the call-and response: "God bless us everyone, we're a broken people living under loaded gun. And it can't be outfought, it can't be outdone, it can't be outmatched, it can't be outrun. No! And when I close my eyes tonight, to symphonies of blinding light!" Kyle tilts his head back and holds his arms out, taking in the reception of the crowd. The crowd gets on it's feet for the returning God of Game. There are pockets of people that are irritated and give their negative reaction to the flippy, smarky, self-absorbed Catalyst, 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.
Diamond: “Well, here comes one half of the odd couple of tag team champions.”
Baxter: “A nerd is paired with a God...”
Frost’s music starts but nobody appears and Shane looks over the ropes and shakes his head as Frost doesn’t appear.
Diamond: “It looks as though Kyle Shane has been stood up.”
Baxter: “Not for the first time I imagine...”
As The God of Game looks out at the ramp, Riggs and Holt jump him and put the boots into him and the referee eventually gets control of the situation and pushes Holt out of the ring and signals for the match to start.
Diamond: “I guess we are having a handicap match then!”
Riggs kicks Shane into the corner and then drags his opponent to his feet. He drops down to deliver a shoulder barge to the midsection and connects. He backs away for a second but is met with a knee to the face from the Catalyst! Riggs staggers backwards, Shane hops onto the middle rope and leaps off to deliver a middle rope leaping leg-drop across the back of Riggs’ head! Shane nips up to his feet, drags Riggs up and hits a snap suplex!
Baxter: “Kyle Shane is being like all African-American mothers and showing the world that he don’t need no man!”
Diamond: “Wow... Way to hit all the stereotypes.”
Riggs gets to all fours and Shane drags him up and drives a knee into the jaw and chest of Riggs. The God of Game delivers a chop to the chest of Riggs and backs Riggs up before whipping his opponent into the corner but Riggs reverses and whips Shane into the corner. Riggs staggers backwards and reaches out to tag Holt who charges in, runs at Shane who is in the opposite corner and meets a face full of boot from the Catalyst. Kyle runs up behind Holt and delivers a backstabber! Kyle Shane pops up to his feet and roars at the crowd!
Diamond: “Kyle Shane is sending a message to Paul Frost tonight that he is the bread and butter of this tag team!”
The Catalyst drags Holt to his feet and hits a suplex, rolls the hips and hits a second and rolls his hips again to hit a third as Riggs charges the ring and into a set of triple suplexes of his own! Kyle Shane pops to his feet, runs into the ropes and hits a running dropkick to the face of Holt, rolls through, runs to the opposite ropes, returns and hits one to the head of Riggs!
Baxter: “He’s getting fired up!”
Kyle Shane stands between the pair as they sit up looking dazed. He points to the lights and delivers a flurry of kicks to both men in turn before backing into the ropes and hits a double running knee to the faces of his opponents. The God of Game signals for the end and drags both men up to their feet, locks up their heads and drives them into the mat with a double headlock driver!
Diamond: “Double Pieces of Eden!”
Shane covers Holt and the referee makes the count!
1!
2!
3!
DING! DING! DING!
Masters: “Here are your winners... Kyle Shane... And...”
Kyle Shane cuts Masters off and refuses to allow his partner’s name to be called out. He snatches the microphone from his hand.
Shane: “No! No! If he can’t be bothered to show up, then he doesn’t deserve his name to be called like he doesn’t deserve to be called the Ta-”
BLACKOUT!
Baxter: “Good grief.”
The lights come on and Frost is behind The Catalyst! He spins him around and drops him with a Frostbite! Shane is flat out in the centre of the ring as he looks down at him with a wild look in his eyes. He leans down and picks up Shane’s title belt, places it over his shoulder alongside his own and smiles at the crowd as they boo. Frost’s music plays and he makes his way back up the ramp smirking as he goes.
THE STONED AND THE DRUNK ONES
“Hail to the King” by Avenged Sevenfold hits the speakers as there’s boos heard coming from the crowd as Chris Page emerges out to the top of the ramp.
Masters: Ladies and Gentleman please welcome, CHRONIC CHRIS PAGE!
Chris stands at the top of the ramp dressed in a nice suit sported by Kenneth Cole. Chris starts to make the walk towards the ring.
Diamond: I can only wonder what’s running through that man’s mind following Wrestle Wars Twelve just two short weeks ago.
Baxter: None of my calls to Chris Page were returned over the last two weeks! He’s not spoken to a single soul.
Chris reaches ringside where he climbs up on to the ring apron before stepping through the ropes and into the ring where he walks across the ring reaching out for a microphone before taking center stage as the music fades away leaving boos from the crowd as Chris addresses the camera.
CHRIS PAGE- “I’m not going to come out here and make excuses for Wrestle Wars Twelve because the fact of the matter is I got beat by Andy Johnson…”
There’s a loud pop from the crowd at the mention of Andy’s name as we see Chris continue.
CHRIS PAGE- “I’m not upset, I’m not aggravated and I’m not going to rage quit over it because what’s done is done and while Andy got the victory, if he thinks this is over I’m here to tell you that this isn’t over; not by a long shot.”
Chris seriously states.
CHRIS PAGE- “I’ve been in this business for over twenty years and I’ve accomplished everything that I’ve set out to accomplish, I’ve beaten everyone I’ve set out to beat and I’ve done everything that I wanted to do while in this profession that a loss doesn’t hurt me in any way, shape or form.”
There’s a slight pause from Chris before he continues.
CHRIS PAGE- “And now that Wrestle Wars is behind us the question now becomes… What’s next?”
Another pause from Chris before continuing.
CHRIS PAGE- “The only logical thing to do is put my focus and my attention where it belongs within the Royal Family fighting alongside my King and Queen….”
No sooner than Page makes his proclamation about the future, the Tron suddenly cuts to the parking lot. A somber Adam Barker is slumped against a dumpster. He has procured another bottle of booze from somewhere, proceeding to wave it around in the air as he mumbles almost incoherently to himself. The camera view is shaky, as if being recorded on a phone or by somebody who isn’t a professional like those surrounding the ring. The shot zooms in on Barker, whose depression seems to have reached new heights thanks to the fuel the alcohol feeds it.
ADAM BARKER- “….. I’ve got…*hic*…. nothing to live for anymore.”
He takes a large swig out of the bottle before letting out a distressed groan.”
ADAM BARKER- “…they’ve taken… everything…*hic*…. from me. What’sh the point? What’sh the point in even bother*hic*ing anymore?”
He takes another almighty mouthful of whiskey, although this one may have been a little too vigorous. He begins to cough and splutter as the whiskey travels down his windpipe. He retches, trying to hold back a wave of bile from his stomach. He writhes in agony, knocking the bottle over. It’s contents spill out onto the floor. Once he has recovered, Adam looks down at the spilled liquor as if it were money being flushed down a toilet. He begins to sob once more, burying his head into his knees as he curls up into a ball.
Suddenly, something clatters across the ground. It is another bottle of alcohol! Adam looks towards it for just a moment. His expression turns to glee for a split second, before noticing that the contents of the bottle is not liquid… it is something wrapped into a tube; a literally message in a bottle. Confused, Adam unscrews the lid and unravels the note. He reads it to himself, trying to focus on the words. Although it quickly becomes apparent that he wishes that he hadn’t. Once again, he begins to sob. He throws the letter to the floor, before going absolutely berserk! He begins slamming his head against the dumpster, flailing his arms at pieces of piping that are leant at the side and behind it. They clatter hollowly to the ground. As Adam staggers away, screaming in mental agony, the camera turns its attention to the note…
It reads;
“YOU’RE A DISGRACE! YOU’VE LET EVERYONE DOWN! YOUR FRIENDS HATE YOU! YOUR FAMILY HATE YOU! YOU DON’T DESERVE TO LIVE! YOU SHOULD LEAVE AND NEVER COME BACK! BETTER YET, JUST KILL YOURSELF!”
“SINCERELY,”
“MOTHER”
The crowd can be heard gasping at the severity of the letter. Could this letter really have been written by Adam Barker’s own MOTHER!?
The cameraman quickly begins to pursue Adam. Adam Barker stumbling towards his limousine. He seems bloodied. Perhaps he had fallen in his drunken stupor, or he had sullied himself during his brief inebriated rampage. His clothes are even more torn and ragged than before. The driver casually opens the door for his passenger.
ADAM BARKER- “Turn the ingnit-ish-ignish... ingnition… ignition on. And keep it running.”
Adam bungles himself into the vehicle. The driver closes the door behind him and walks out of view. The camera seems to have come to rest, focusing on the door that Adam Barker had entered. Everything goes quiet… up until the engine of the limousine fires into life.
Page watches on from the ring, staring at the limousine… it looks like the moment has finished, until we suddenly see something coming from the window, trickling down the white door of the limo… it looks like a river of blood!
The cameras quickly shut off, revealing that Chris Page has already hurled himself out of the ring and is now sprinting up the entrance ramp. He disappears into the back. Even the crowd seem to show genuine levels of concern.
Diamond- “What the hell is happening back there!?”
Baxter- “No clue, but it certainly has Chris Page and everybody else in this arena concerned! Don’t forget, Chris Page and Adam Barker have been practically best friends for years!”
Diamond- “That’s definitely true. He can’t help but be concerned for Adam. Even after everything that has happened in recent months, I think I would be too!”
The cameras fade for a commercial.
LEGENDS versus LEGENDS TOUR
HAWAIIAN HARDHEAD versus JAMES RAVEN
James Raven and Hawaiian Hardhead are in the ring as the bell sounds. The match starts off with both men locking up with HHH getting the early advantage, taking Raven into a side headlock. Raven gets free by pushing HHH off of him, HHH bounces off the ropes and Raven lands a huge back body drop in the middle of the ring. Raven starts to take over by grounding HHH with a series of rapid elbow drops. HHH gets the momentum to swing in his favour after Raven has pulled HHH to his feet and HHH catch Raven off guard with a knife edge chop that has Raven reeling to the corner.
A big avalanche splash by HHH lands, sending Raven to the mat with HHH following him to the ground for a pin where Raven gets his leg on the rope just in the nick of time, saving the match. HHH sends Raven tumbling out of the ring after the near pin fall by just using his raw power and clotheslining him over the top rope. Instead of playing it safe, HHH pursues his adversary outside the ring, bouncing his head off the guard rail multiple times before, Raven gets a boot up to block it, followed by an elbow to the stomach, and now Raven is bouncing HHH’s head off the guard rail about five or six times before taking HHH down with a picture perfect leg sweep.
Raven rolls HHH back into the ring as the referee’s count hits 8. As HHH rolls into the ring, he makes his way to his feet. Raven and HHH are now both in the middle of the ring slugging it out, back and forth. Raven takes the advantage as he ducks under a left hand and dropkicks HHH down to the mat. It’s Raven’s turn to go for a pin and HHH kicks out after a count of two. Raven continues his assault by nailing HHH with three unanswered suplexes! The crowd is also really starting to get behind Raven as he is feeding off the energy from the crowd. He allows HHH to get up to his feet before attempting a fourth suplex, that is reversed by HHH into a suplex of his own much to the dismay of the crowd.
HHH drops down on a fallen Raven with a series of headbutts. HHH pulls Raven off the mat and throws him into the corner. HHH follows him and tees off on Raven with a series of shoulder blocks to the midsection. After 8 unanswered blows, HHH lets up, letting Raven stumble and stagger to the centre of the ring holding his midsection. HHH lines up Raven… He runs at Raven to attempt to split Raven in half with a spear only to get caught in a super tight guillotine choke hold. Both men are on the ground as Raven is yanking on the neck of HHH as he’s turning red from the choke. HHH uses his strength to lift Raven up off the ground still in the choke. Raven wraps his legs around HHH to keep up the pressure on the choke. HHH charges into the corner and dives, driving Raven’s back into the turnbuckles, finally breaking Raven’s grip enough to hit him with a scoop slam. HHH falls to the mat with another pin attempt only to receive another close 3 count, but not close enough to win him the match.
HHH shows the referee how to count to 3 on the mat as the referee shows him two fingers! As HHH is complaining to the referee about the count, James Raven is using the ropes to get to his feet. By the time HHH is done educating the referee, Raven is standing in front of him, throwing off rights and lefts, making HHH cower to defend himself. Raven starts a series of knife edge chops in the corner before hip tossing HHH into the middle of the ring. Raven decides its a good time to go high risk as he starts to climb the turnbuckle, but it turns out the series of moves before weren’t enough to keep HHH down for long. HHH charges over and open hand slaps Raven as he’s almost on the top turnbuckle. HHH steps up onto the second turnbuckle and drapes Raven’s arm over his head…. SUPERPLEX SHAKES THE RING! HHH covers again! One…Two.. Raven rolls his shoulder just as the referee’s hand was an inch away from hitting the mat for a third and final time! This really sets off HHH! He gets up and really starts yelling at the referee about his count. The referee isn’t having any of it and pushes HHH to get out of his face and HHH stumbles back right into a school boy pin from Raven! One… Two… NO!
HHH slides out and still looks pissed at the ref but this isn’t the time as now he and Raven are both standing in the middle of the ring. They lock up quickly and Raven takes the advantage this time by executing a picture perfect fireman carry on HHH, but HHH pops right back up to his feet and swings with a clothesline that’s ducked by Raven, who in turn runs off the ropes, rebounds and hits HHH with a swinging neckbreaker. Raven dives onto HHH for the pinball! HHH kicks out rather quickly at 1, which surprises Raven. Raven waits for HHH to get to his feet once more. FYS by Raven almost kicks HHH’s head into the tenth row as the crowd goes nuts just from the sound of the impact. The only thing that’s keeping HHH on his feet is the fact that after getting hit by the FYS, the ropes have kept him upright! Raven is poised to hit him with the Flight of the Raven! HHH pushes Raven off of him and into the ropes and Raven tries to counter with a clothesline, HHH ducks, springs off the ropes and smashes into Raven with a spear!!! HHH snaps up to his feet and just waits for Raven to get to his feet!! HAWAIIAN HAMMER!! HHH hooks the leg and finally gets the 1…2…3!!!!
WINNER: HAWAIIAN HARDHEAD
TEAM DORLING or TEAM CONNOLLY?
Diamond: 'We knew he'd show up at some point, here's Chris Dorling, one half of a match at Wrestle Wars that the rules couldn't contain!'
Baxter: 'You mean one half of a couple of fools that got themselves disqualified!'
Dorling appears on the ramp and drinks in the vocal support from the crowd, pointing to his 'Team Dorling' shirt and gesturing to those in attendance. He slaps the hands of a few fans as makes his way down to the ring. He pauses on the ring steps before ducking under the top rope. The fans keep the noise levels up as he stands in the centre of the ring, gesturing for a microphone from one of the production staff. He waits a few moments before bringing the mic to his lips.
Dorling: 'Wow wow wow! Listen to that fuckin' noise! Listen to TEAM DORLING!'
Baxter: 'Oh this is sickening.'
Dorling: 'Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls; what a god damned night it was at Wrestle Wars!'
The crowd is obviously in agreement.
Dorling: 'I told you. Connolly told you. We said we would put on a display in Atlanta and the aching in my bones tells me that we delivered and then some. You guys know me. You know that I say what I want to say; sometimes it doesn't NEED saying but it's always what I WANT to say.
In Georgia you saw what a man who NEEDS can do. You saw Christian Connolly scrap for every centimetre of ground in that ring to keep his title. And you saw what a man that WANTS can do. You saw me push right back and, you know what? In the end we both pushed over the limit. Frustrating as fuck but holy shit did it feel good at the time!'
Dorling nods as the crowd cheers in approval.
Dorling: 'Christian Connolly. I don't go out of my way to be nice to others. I don't blow smoke and I don't offer praise lightly; but that was one hell of an effort 2 weeks ago and I appreciate it. You want to go again, any time, any place - you got it. Hell, you want to team up and take on the fucking world? I'll consider it. But this isn't about what I want. It's not about what the Champ wants. It's about what these people want.'
Dorling gestures around all 4 sides of the ring.
'That match we had. It deserves better. It deserves a moment. It deserves clarity. It deserves more. You don't put on a 7 course meal and skip dessert! You don't tease a dog with a treat and never deliver. He'll end up biting your finger off! You don't put on a motherfucking masterclass of mat wrestling, brawling, flying and cojones like we did and then forget to put the cherry on top of the damned cake.'
Crowd noise starts to build, they know where this is going.
Baxter: 'I think I know where he's going with this.'
Dorling: 'A man that wants is dangerous. Multiply that by thousands and you've got a riot. So what I'm saying is, Team Dorling - do you want to see this finished? Do you want MORE?!'
They do. Loudly.
Dorling: 'I don't care what I have to do. I'll win another tournament if I have to. I'll face the entire fucking hall of fame if that's what it takes. I WANT to do this dance again. I WANT to give everybody here and everybody watching at home what they crave. So what do you say? Connolly? Rotten? TEAM DORLING? Shall we do this again? One more time...'
The crowd takes Dorling's queue and begins to chant 'one more time' as he raises his fist to the air.
Dorling: 'This. This is why I've always loved Japan.'
Diamond: Looks like we don't have to wait for an answer!
After a few moments of Steve Perry singing, Christian Connolly emerges from the back to an insane reception. Dressed in a pair of black Jordan track pants, a black t-shirt with a gold Double S Superman logo, black & gold Jordan 1 Retros, and of course, the WGWF Intercontinental title strapped around him pageant style; he walks down the aisle, slapping hands with many of the Japanese fans. He hops onto the apron and climbs in the ring. He pulls a microphone from his back pocket and the music dies down, but then the Superman chants start.
Connolly: 大阪!
Crowd roars.
Connolly: Sounds like alot of you are Team Dorling.
Crowd roars.
Connolly: Well you should be cause this man brought everything he had at Wrestle Wars and he did exactly what he set out to do and that's steal the show.
Crowd applauds.
Connolly: But I walked in and did exactly what I said I would do... and that's leave as the champion.
'Ooohs' ring out over the crowd.
Connolly: Now I will admit that the ending, it didn't sit right with me. Ever since Wrestle Wars I've had everyone questioning if I would've beat you.. questioning if on that night, you were the better man. I can't live with that. Now.. I gotta know. So if you want another shot at this title... you ain't gotta win another tournament, or battle royal or MDK's panties on a pole match... (crowd laughs) all ya gotta do and shake my hand, we'll make this official.
Connolly extends a hand and Dorling looks at it for a second, before shaking it.
“LADIES AND GENTLEMAN….”
The crowd pops big as Flash Rotten once again walks out to the top of the ramp with microphone in hand.
FLASH ROTTEN- “It’s good to see the two of you shaking hands in the middle of that ring; and while neither one of you can book matches, I happen to agree with all these fans here in attendance and the millions watching around the world… I want to see Connolly/Dorling Part Two! And I want to see it Monday Night May 28th!”
The crowd roars loudly!
FLASH ROTTEN- “Not only when Brawl comes to Beijing am I giving the world Slater/Cable for the World Title inside a Steel Cage…. I’m giving you Connolly versus Dorling for the Intercontinental Championship… IN A IRON MAN MATCH!”
The crowd pops louder!!
FLASH ROTTEN- “You boys think you can steal the show? I CHALLENGE you too!!”
Flash turns and exits as we fade to commercial.
TAG TEAM ATTRACTION
ALYCE STARCHYLE and MDK w. Anarchy versus JOHN CABLE and TERRY BORDEN
"Real American" by Rick Derringer begins to play over the PA. The crowd roars as Real American comes out from the curtain dressed in yellow speedo style trunks, red knee pads, and yellow boots with a shirt that reads "REAL AMERICAN" in red and the shirt is yellow with a red bandana covering his head. Real American comes down the ramp walking up the steel steps and to the ring apron entering the ring. As he enters he rips off the shirt to a pop from the crowd before tossing his bandana to the crowd.
Masters: “The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring first, from Venice Beach California and weighing in at 276lbs... Terry Borden!”
"The lights dim around the arena and a hush descends on the crowd. The opening taps of drums and the beginning riffs of the guitar of Pop Evil's 'Trenches' can be heard filtering through the speakers. Green pin spots swirl wildly around the arena flashing across the fans as they start to cheer wildly. Smoke fills the metal ramp as the drum beat and the guitar pick up a bit. A figure can be seen making its way out of the curtain atop the ramp, and green spotlights tear into the darkness, criss-crossing wildly in front of the curtain where we see a large silhouette of a man lit from behind the curtains.
Masters: “And his partner, from Oil City, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 267lbs... John... CABLE!”
The lyrics begin to chant the chorus and the fans really get into the bass beat of the drums and the kicking riffs of the guitar. The spotlights are waving across the stage wildly, and out of the darkness of the curtain, into the green spotlights waving everywhere, just as the music kicks in hard, John Cable limps forward onto the ramp with a scowl on his face and his leg in a brace.
Diamond: “The Man Beast clearly not at 100% tonight from the beating he took at Wrestle Wars.”
Baxter: “I can smell the gasoline still!
Cable makes his way down the ramp towards the rings as the fans cheer wildly. The lights fade in as the music goes on, and Cable climbs up onto the apron and under the ropes and Borden offers a hi-five to Cable who struggles over to the corner and doesn’t acknowledge his partner as the referee checks on the leg of Cable.
youtube-dj.com//k2WcOdz96ko/xEp8yJPjedU/1
A mash-up of “Blood in the Cut” and “Charlie Big Potato” plays and M.D.K and Alyce step out onto the ramp-way and they embrace at the top of the ramp, glower at the crowd before M.D.K points at the opposition in the ring and he and his partner fall about laughing at the crowd boo them.
Masters: “And their opponents, at a combined weight of 405lbs... The Royal Family of the WGWF; M.D.K... And Alyce Starchylde!”
The referee pushes Borden and Cable into their corner as M.D.K opens the ropes up for his partner to climb through. Cable insists that he starts the match and Borden makes sure that his partner is OK and Cable just shoves Borden out of the ring towards the corner as M.D.K simply squares up to his Wrestle Wars adversary, sneers and turns and tags in Alyce as the fans boo.
Alyce skips around the ring as Cable limps along towards the centre as the bell rings and Alyce surges forwards with a roll under the arm of the Man Beast as he goes for a clothesline and backs into the ropes, she charges behind Cable and boots him in the back of his knee and Cable collapses to the mat. Alyce saunters around her foe before making her way over to M.D.K and tags him in and the Crimson King whales in with stomps onto the injured leg of the Man Beast before dragging Cable up to his feet, slaps him in the face and drags him over to the corner and tags Starchylde back in.
Starchylde grabs the leg of Cable and drops it with a DDT before she leans down and slaps Cable as he battles his way to his feet. Alyce backs into the ropes, takes a running punt at Cable’s head who counters into an atomic drop and stumbles backwards into a tag on Borden who charges into the ring and levels a rising Alyce with a clothesline and follows on to knock M.D.K off of the apron. He turns around and kicks Alyce in the side of the head before dragging Alyce back to her feet and delivers a forearm shot before whipping her across the ring. Alyce crashes into the turnbuckle and gets the boots up to send Borden staggering away only to drop him with a bulldog!
She synchs in a side headlock and Borden struggles to his feet and pushes Alyce into the ropes. She ducks the clothesline and into the ropes where M.D.K hits a blind tag as Alyce returns and leaps at Borden who catches her and turns her into a military lift. The crowd cheer but then boos as M.D.K takes a running Yakuza kick at the jaw of Borden who crumples to the mat as M.D.K catches his queen. He makes sure she’s OK before taking the fight to Borden.
M.D.K and Alyce isolate the ring with Borden until the hot tag is made to Cable when the Man Beast charges the ring and he clears house. Alyce distracts the referee and M.D.K delivers a kendo stick shot to the already injured leg of Cable before tossing it out of the ring. Borden takes M.D.K out of commission with a clothesline out of the ring before tagging himself in to be legal. Alyce is legal and trades blows with Borden as Cable charges at M.D.K and spears him through the guard wall!
Cable is enraged as he uses the discarded kendo stick as a crutch as he climbs into the ring and the referee admonishes him for having a weapon. Incredulous, Cable roars in frustration and levels the referee with the Kendo stick before turning to Alyce and levels her too!
Diamond: “Cable has lost it and this match has been thrown out!”
Borden tries to calm Cable down and Cable breathes heavily before smacking Borden with the kendo stick as well! The crowd are stunned as Alyce crawls backwards in shock of the enraged Man Beast as he stalks the Queen of the WGWF. He raises the stick high and Alyce is dragged under the bottom rope to safety by M.D.K who talks trash at his adversary as the Royal Family make their escape as Cable stares around at the devastation he has caused.
BARKER’S SUICIDE
The cameras quickly cut the backstage area, where we see Chris Page is sprinting along the corridor. He busts through the door that leads into the parking lot. He looks around frantically. He looks genuinely troubled.
CHRIS PAGE- “ADAM!? ADAM!?”
His shouts are met with no response. He looks around, trying to locate the precise part of this vast parking lot where Adam Barker’s vehicle might be. He begins to run into the heart of the parking lot. There are members of the backstage crew already packing things away. Page rapidly approaches them.
CHRIS PAGE- “Have you seen Adam Barker anywhere around here?”
BACKSTAGE CREW- “Nope. Sure haven’t.”
Page scowls. Rather than waste time with these individuals, he continues his search. He spots another crowd of people close to a familiar looking dumpster. They are apparently clearing some of the debris left during Barker’s earlier rampage.
CHRIS PAGE- “Has anyone seen Adam Barker’s car? Or Adam himself?”
BACKSTAGE CREW- “I think it’s over there somewhere.”
The crew member points off far into the distance. He gives a half-hearted ‘thank you’ nod, even though locating this car is still going to be like finding a needle in a haystack. He begins running back and forth once again. He clasps his head with both hands. Unable to find what he is looking for, he starts to lose hope.
Out of nowhere, a familiar looking face appears… DANCING DUDE BILL! He appears conveniently from a small cluster of cars not too far from where Page is stood.
DANCING DUDE BILL- “Yo, CCP! Check this out, dude!”
Page follows the direction that Dancing Dude Bill is pointing. He had not noticed before, but just a short way away is a trail of droplets of blood that can barely be seen on the shimmering tarmac of the parking lot. Chris Page looks back. It seems to have started at the dumpster he was at earlier; both him and Adam. Following close behind, Dancing Dude Bill tails Chris Page.
He follows the sinuous trail of blood that weaves between parked vehicles. He can hear the sound of an engine running somewhere in close proximity, rousing suspicion. He tries to look over some of the lower cars, before noticing a significant number of four-wheel drive vehicles such as trucks and flatbeds obscuring a long, white vehicle; boxing it in to a corner. This is where the sound is coming from. Chris squeezes between the narrow gaps in between the vehicles, finally coming to the source; a white limousine.
Not just ANY white limousine, but Adam Barker’s personal white limousine.
Walls of mortar virtually press against the rear bumper and the far side of the vehicle, making it totally inaccessible due to the lack of space between the doors and the wall. Page knocks on the driver’s window. The glass has been tinted. The only thing he can see is his own reflection staring back at him. He tries to open the driver’s door.
It’s locked.
He tries looking through the windshield. Even there, he is unable to see anybody inside. He places his hands on his hips, confused and worried at the same time.
He reverts his attention back to the trail of blood that toward the rear door. It is at this point that he notices something is amiss. Camouflaged by the tint of the glass, the electronic window of the rear driver’s-side door has been depressed very slightly, yet the gap made has been covered by thick layers of black scotch tape, making an almost airtight seal. Something protrudes from the tape; some sort of tubing. Maybe a hose pipe?
…
Page gasps.
CHRIS PAGE- “ADAM!!!!!!”
He begins pounding his fist against the window, trying to rouse Adam inside. There is no reply. Dancing Dude Bill also begins to pound on the window, before looking around and trying to find something that might aid them. Sure enough, in one of the flatbeds, a shovel is resting within. As Page tries yanking at the door handle out of sheer hopelessness and anguish, Dancing Dude Bill calls out to him.
DANCING DUDE BILL- “Yo, try this, dude!”
Page looks back. He holds out an arm as Bill throws the shove. Page catches it and immediately begins hammering at the window panes with the shovel. It is no good. The blade of the shovel bends on the bulletproof glass. Instead, he uses the metal handle of the shovel as a battering ram.
This does the trick! The glass shatters into hundreds of thousands of pieces.
As Page busts the window, exhaust fumes begin to billow from the vehicle. Page covers his nose and mouth, coughing and spluttering as he reaches into the vehicle to try and open the door from the inside. It is locked from the inside as well, the only way to get in would be for the driver to allow the access. But this is not possible either! Unable to open the door fully, Chris wrenches at the hose pipe, ripping it away so that no more smoke can enter the car.
He clambers in through the broken glass and begins booting at the limousine door from the inside. Invigorated with strength by fear of losing his best friend, he is able to kick the door open, busting the lock securing it. Even more smoke erupts from the car as personnel begin to gather around the horrific scene. Finally, Page is able to drag Adam Barker out to safety.
There are whoops and cheers from onlookers as paramedics fight their way to the front. Page is spluttering and coughing, but Adam Barker is motionless!
Diamond- “Thank goodness Chris Page stopped this. Adam Barker just tried to kill himself on national television!
Baxter- “I’m at a loss for words. Could losing ownership of the WGWF really have made Adam Barker make such a desperate call!?”
Diamond- “He needs to get to a hospital. And FAST!”
Paramedics are ready with a stretcher. Chris Page walks alongside the paramedics, offering words of assurance that he is not certain that they are reaching the intended ears. The paramedics are able to load Adam Barker into the back of a waiting ambulance. CCP clambers in alongside him, before the paramedics close the rear doors behind them. Within moments, the klaxons and sirens begin to blare as the ambulance pulls out of the arena…
FADE TO BLACK!

Baxter: Wait just a second here.

There’s another massive gasp from the crowd as Christian Connolly dives on top of Slater at the last possible second breaking the referee’s count! The crowd gasps as we see Christian as the first to his feet where he’s able to pick up Slater! He under hooks the arms before driving him down violently into the mat with the CROWNING GLORY!! Slater bounces off the mat rolling out to the floor leaving Christian in the ring with a hurt Andy Johnson!
Diamond: Slater is out! Christian has just put his self in prime opportunity to win this thing!!
Andy pushes himself up off the mat as we see Christian come forward with a boot to the midsection where doubles Andy over! Christian under hooks the arms looking for a second Crowning Glory that is countered by Andy who drives Christian back into a neutral corner where he delivers a second ACID DROP!! The Japanese crowd pops huge as both Connolly and Johnson-Page are laid out in the center of the ring…
Diamond: What the hell??!!??!!??!!
Connolly has rolled off the ring apron falling down to the floor as THE MONSTER SILENCE emerges out to the top of the ramp to a huge gasp from the crowd as he walks with a purpose towards the ring!
Baxter: The Monster Silence is headed to the ring!!!!
The Monster reaches ringside where he climbs up on the ring apron with his eyes focused on Andy Johnson-Page while stepping over the top rope and into the ring!! Andy is in a seated position as Silence yanks him up to his feet where he scoops Andy up over his shoulder before running and driving him into the mat with a Running Powerslam!!
Diamond: Silence planted Andy Johnson-Page!!! WHY?!?!
Silence is back to a vertical base where he isn’t finished! He reaches down picking Andy back up off the mat scooping him up over his shoulder!! He runs out towards the center of the ring driving him violently down into the mat a second time with another running Powerslam!!
Baxter: Andy’s gotta have internal injuries!!
Diamond: Someone has to stop this uncalled for assault on Andy Johnson from Silence!
Silence is already back to his feet where he yanks Andy back up off the mat scooping his lifeless body up over his shoulder for a third time where he charges forward towards the center of the ring with a third Running Powerslam!! The referee is powerless to do anything as we see Silence stand back to a vertical base where he looks down at the WGWF Television Champion before walking back towards the ropes where he steps over the top rope and drops down to the floor. The Monster Silence walks around the ring to the time keeper where he snatches the WGWF Television Championship before making his way back up the ramp!!
Baxter: Silence has taken the Television Championship!!!
With Silence now making his way back through the curtain we see THE Tristan Slater using the ring apron and ropes to pull himself back up to a vertical base before pulling himself up to the ring apron where he looks see’s Andy laid out and in a prone position. Slater then takes notice of Connolly on the floor! Slater shifts back towards Andy where he spring boards off the top rope with a Shooting Star Press crashing down on to Andy Johnson! Slater makes the cover hooking the nearest leg.
REFEREE: ONE….. TWO….. THREE!!
DING…. DING…. DING…
Masters: The winner of this contest, the WGWF World Heavyweight Champion… THE TRISTAN SLATER!
Diamond: Slater had no idea what just transpired.
Baxter: If he did he would it have mattered?
Diamond: Good point.
The referee awards THE Tristan Slater with the World Title as he reaches his feet where his arm is raised in victory. THE Tristan Slater takes his title where he turns towards the floor seeing Christian who is on both knee’s clutching at the back of his neck. THE Tristan Slater nods his head in approval before throwing Connolly a head nod. Christian nods his head back towards THE Tristan Slater as Monday Night Brawl fades to black.
MONDAY NIGHT BRAWL
SUMMER MADNESS WORLD TOUR
SOLD OUT
4.30.18
OSAKA-JO HALL
OSAKA, JAPAN
Monday Night Brawl takes the air from Osaka, Japan as…
There’s a positive response from the Japanese fans that have sold out the arena as Matt Hopkins from the WGWF Board of Directors emerges out to the top of the ramp dressed for business in a fine tailored suit as he starts to make his way towards the ring tagging a few hands along the way. He reaches ringside where he climbs up on the ring apron as Donald Masters voice is heard.
MASTERS: Ladies and Gentleman please welcome MATT HOPKINS!!!
Matt steps through the ropes and enter the ring as he’s handed the microphone from Donald Masters before Donald exits the ring. The music fades away as the Japanese crowd quickly quiets down as Matt raises the microphone to his lips and starts to address the camera.
MATT HOPKINS- “I’ve never been a man to occupy precious television time so allow me to cut straight to the point by first welcoming this sold out crowd in Osaka to the first stop on the WGWF Summer Madness World Tour!”
There’s a pop from the crowd as the sound of a translator is heard over the loud speakers.
MATT HOPKINS- “We are coming off the heels of what was arguably the single greatest Wrestle Wars in this company’s history, and while some scores have been settled there’s more that are just getting started. One score specifically that I am out here to address revolves around the Adam Barker/Flash Rotten encounter that saw Flash Rotten defeat Adam Barker to remain the SOLE General Manager of Monday Night Brawl. It is at this time that I’d like to bring out your undisputed General Manager of Monday Night Brawl…. FLASH ROTTEN!!!”
Osaka, Japan roars loudly as Flash Rotten is shown walking out to the top of the ramp with a huge smirk on his face as he’s in his black suit. Flash extends his arms out to each side soaking in the ovation before he starts to make the walk towards the ring. Matt Hopkins is shown applauding Flash while he’s in transit to the ring. Once ringside we see Flash now climb up on the ring apron where he steps through the ropes and into the ring where he’s greeted by a handshake from Matt Hopkins. The music fades away leaving the solid ovation from the crowd to be heard before they once again quiet down.
MATT HOPKINS- “Flash…”
Matt states as he turns facing the General Manager of Monday Night Brawl.
MATT HOPKINS- “I am here tonight to stand before you and give you the official backing of the WGWF Board of Directors and as of this moment we fully support you and your decisions.”
Flash slightly bows his head as Matt Hopkins hands Flash the microphone before shaking his hand one more time. Matt Hopkins then makes his exit giving Flash Rotten the ring. Flash looks down at the microphone and then out across the sea of 16,000 fans that have jam packed the building before shrugging his shoulders as he raises the microphone.
FLASH ROTTEN- “LADIES AND GENTLEMAN… My name is FLASH ROTTEN, and I am the UNDISPUTED General Manager of Monday Night Brawl!!”
There’s a loud pop from the crowd as the transalor finishes.
FLASH ROTTEN- “I don’t care if you belong to a Royal Family, I don’t care if you belong to a New Breed, I don’t care if you refer to yourself as a GOD and I don’t care how violent you think you are because you’re all officially under my thumb now and I don’t do the intimidation game. It’s back to business as usual and it’s back to providing the WGWF audience with what they’ve paid to see; the best in ring action money can buy!”
There’s another pop from the crowd.
FLASH ROTTEN- “I’m not here to cater to ego’s or provide opportunities if the opportunity isn’t deserved. It was just over a year ago that I had some sense beaten into me by one Andy Johnson-Page…”
There’s a MASSIVE ovation at the mention of Andy’s name.
FLASH ROTTEN- “I came out here in front of the WGWF universe and the boys that occupy that locker room where I humbled myself and told you all that I have the best interest of this program at heart; I said it and I meant it, my track record should clearly show… and now that Adam Barker is out of our hair we can officially get back to business which starts TONIGHT!”
A massively loud/mixed reception echo’s out from all over the arena as attention diverts towards the top of the ramp where THE Tristan Slater is shown walking out to the top of the ramp in some faded jeans, white hi-tops, a black hoodie zipped half way up over a white t-shirt with the World Title resting over his right shoulder as he stops at the top of the ramp and applauds Flash Rotten.
Flash simply shakes his head as THE Tristan Slater then starts to make the walk towards the ring and while on the way he completely ignores the fans that reach out towards him. Once he reaches ringside we see Slater walk up the ring steps where he reaches the ring apron. THE Tristan Slater steps through the ropes and into the ring. The WGWF World Heavyweight Champion stands across from the General Manager of Monday Night Brawl. Tristan calls for a microphone of his own which he’s handed by a ringside attendant as his music fades away.
FLASH ROTTEN- “What could you possibly want from me right now?”
THE Tristan Slater snickers under his breath as he raises his microphone.
THE TRISTAN SLATER- “Is that how you greet the guy that’s successfully defended the WGWF World Heavyweight Championship at back to back Wrestle Wars?”
Flash quickly responds.
FLASH ROTTEN- “If by successfully defending the Championship involves pinning someone that wasn’t in the match from the beginning is successfully, then sure, so again I ask, what could you possibly want from me right now?”
THE TRISTAN SLATER- “I suppose correcting you would be the first thing when you reference pinning someone or not would rest with the stipulation of the match itself, I didn’t call for a Handicap Match but I did damn sure exploit it when the time was right; not my fault I’m an opportunist and I took advantage of a situation that was presented to me, so yeah, I successfully defended my title.”
FLASH ROTTEN- “Whatever you need to tell yourself.”
THE TRISTAN SLATER- “Need I remind you that if it wasn’t for me saving your ass a few weeks back you might not have walked into Wrestle Wars Twelve to defend your job, sir.”
FLASH ROTTEN- “Yeah, yeah, yeah… I owe you one, we all know. Is this coming to collect on that favor?”
THE Tristan Slater smirks as he shakes his head “no” before he states.
THE TRISTAN SLATER- “Not at all, sir. This is me simply walking out here to congratulate you on your victory at Wrestle Wars and to look you in the eyes while telling you how good it’s going to be working for you.”
Some boos filter throughout the arena.
THE TRISTAN SLATER- “And since I vanquished Alyce Starchylde at Wrestle Wars via The Jackdaw I was out here tonight to see what’s next for me in regards to a challenger for the WGWF World Heavyweight Championship. See in my eyes there’s but one challenger that I actually WANT to stand in this ring with; M.D.K.”
The crowd quiets down at the mention of MDK’s name.
THE TRISTAN SLATER- “He’s got this twenty four/seven contract hanging over my head and if I’m being perfectly honest with you playing childish games isn’t how I conduct business. Let’s end the speculation and get this thing on the books.”
Flash responds.
FLASH ROTTEN- “As much as I want to see Slater versus MDK and as much as the WGWF Universe wants to see Slater versus MDK that rematch isn’t up to me to grant. When Adam Barker signed off on that contract that’s something I can’t reverse in regards to the rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship and there’s no favor that’s going to change that.”
Flash pauses for just a moment before he looks the World Champion in the eyes and states.
FLASH ROTTEN- “But what I can do is book THE Tristan Slater versus MD….”
The Japanese fans pop big as John “The Beast” Cable emerges out to the top of the ramp with a microphone in hand and as he starts to talk the music quickly cuts.
JOHN CABLE- “Wait, wait, wait, hang on a second I need to make sure I’m hearing all this correctly.”
John states while walking towards the ring as THE Tristan Slater simply shakes his head.
JOHN CABLE- “Correct me if I am wrong but uh, don’t I own a victory over THE Tristan Slater since he won the World Title?”
THE Tristan Slater glances towards Flash as he states.
THE TRISTAN SLATER- “Do you have a shot of penicillin to get rid of this fucking guy?”
John’s voice breaks in.
JOHN CABLE- “Cute Tristan, and from what I hear that shot might do you some good son.”
John steps up to the ring apron before stepping over the top rope and into the squared circle where he’s cut off by THE Tristan Slater.
THE TRISTAN SLATER- “Sorry big guy but this title match is reserved for someone that didn’t choke at Wrestle Wars, again.”
John smiles at Tristan before stating.
JOHN CABLE- “That might be true, choke or not doesn’t change the fact that I own a victory over the WGWF World Heavyweight Champion.”
John looks past Tristan and towards Flash Rotten.
JOHN CABLE- “With Wrestle Wars in the rearview it seems the Chump, I mean Champ here is looking for his next contender; well I say you’re looking at him!”
The crowd pops for the Beast as Flash starts to rub his chin before THE Tristan Slater jumps in.
THE TRISTAN SLATER- “You’re not seriously considering this, are you?”
Flash directs his attention towards THE Tristan Slater as he states.
FLASH ROTTEN- “Not only am I condering it… You know what, I’ve got it! Monday Night, May 28th at the Beijing National Stadium we’re going to see JOHN “THE BEAST” CABLE versus THE TRISTAN SLATER for the WGWF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!”
The crowd pops big time with the match announcement as THE Tristan Slater is livid as he turns and kicks the bottom rope out of frustration as we hear Flash continue.
FLASH ROTTEN- “And if memory serves me correct the way John got that victory over you was via Disqualification from MDK, so to make sure that this match has a clear and cut winner we’re going to see this take place inside a FIFTEEN-FOOT-HIGH STEEL CAGE where the only way you’re going to win this contest is by escaping the Cage!!!
The ovation grows louder as John nods his head in approval.
FLASH ROTTEN- “But hey that’s in four weeks, so let’s talk about what we’re going to see in two weeks…”
As if the opening of Tristan’s night couldn’t get any worse.
FLASH ROTTEN- “Two weeks from tonight I’m going to give you both an opportunity to get your hands on each other before the World Title Steel Cage Match… by putting you in a Tag Team Match; not just any Tag Team Match, a Strange Bedfellows Tag Team Match that will see John Cable teaming for the first time ever with MDK as they take on the team of THE Tristan Slater and his partner… ALYCE STARCHYLDE!”
Neither man is happy about that decision as the crowd pops once again.
FLASH ROTTEN- “And that my friends… IS FINAL!”
Flash tosses his microphone before making his exit from the ring leaving an intense stare down between both John and the reigning/defending WGWF World Heavyweight Champion as the scene fades.
THE FALL OF ADAM BARKER
The cameras are locked into a view of the entrance to the parking lot to the arena. Already, a multitude of vehicles are parked up, inclusive of production trucks and personal motors. Pulling up into the parking lot and reversing into a tight-looking spot next to the arena wall comes a pristinely white limousine. The engine continues to run as the driver steps out and walks towards the rear of the luxurious vehicle. He opens the door upon reaching it and holds it open, staring off into the distance. The door begins to close slightly. The driver steps away.
The door to the limousine wiggles back and forth before suddenly being thrust open. A foot extends beyond the door before planting itself on the floor. With an unsteady heave, Adam Barker suddenly emerges from the vehicle, swaying backwards and forwards like a foal trying to stand for the first time. His suit is in tatters; covered in stains from various strains on alcohol and bile.
He holds a near empty bottle of whiskey in his hand, which he tilts into his mouth. So far back does he have to lean his head that he falls backwards into the limousine window, this being the only thing keeping him upright at this stage. It is a far cry from the expressively poised determined man that once had control over this company. Losing his beloved corporation to Flash Rotten at WrestleWars seems to have hit him hard.
Diamond- “It looks like Adam Barker is looking for answers at the bottom of the bottle.”
Baxter- “It looks like he’s PLASTERED to me.”
Trying to shake every last drop from the bottle, Barker lets out an annoyed grunt and launches the bottle across the parking lot. It smashes against a faraway wall as Adam stumbles his way across the car park. A security officer quickly approaches him, sensing the hostility amidst his intoxication.
SECURITY GUARD- “Mr. Barker, sir, I’m under instructions to remove you from the premises. You are clearly in no condition to be here.
ADAM BARKER- “Don’t you not know who yer talkin’ to!?”
Barker’s words are slurred and unclear, certainly a significant difference from the well-versed and confident man that existed two weeks ago.
SECURITY GUARD- “I’m sorry, sir. But either you can either leave accordingly, or I will remove you. The choice is yours.”
ADAM BARKER- “I’ll have your badge, you… *hic*… shon-of-a-bitsch…”
Barker winds back a punch. He swings meekly, misses, and slumps into the security guard’s arms. The security guard shakes his head. Barker appears to be snoring… but closer inspection reveals that… he’s CRYING!
ADAM BARKER- “What did I do? What did I… *hic*… do to desherve thish!? I’ve losshed every…*hic*… thing!”
SECURITY GUARD- “Maybe you should focus on getting yourself sober. Then you can work on rebuilding your life. But you’re not going to do that here. And you’re not going to do that now.”
With that, the security guard pushes Adam Barker back. He falls flat on his backside and rolls onto his side. He pathetically tries to push himself back up onto all fours, crawling away like a dog. The security guard simply shakes his head in disbelief once more.
Diamond- “I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I actually feel BAD for Adam Barker… The WGWF meant everything to him. He built it from the ground up!”
Baxter- “It’s like having access rights to your kids being taken away from you. Anyone would be upset.”
Diamond- “We can only hope the situation improves for Adam Barker.”
The cameras cut to commercial.
JOHN TOLLY versus THE SENTINEL
Blind By Korn
Blind plays as Tolly makes his way to the top of the ramp, as Jonathan Davis yells out "ARE YOU READY?" Tolly throws up devil horns before looking side to side and making his way to the ring. He slides in the ring giving a snalring smirk before hitting the turnbuckle and yelling at the crowd.
Freak Of Nature 92 by Mike Tramp of White Lion.
Any boos in the audience had been quickly converted to sounds of happiness. Out from the back meandered the Sentinel complete with his trusty sidekick. Perhaps it was over confidence, but Sentinel issued a grin on his face as he stood at ringside and glared into the eyes of Tolly.
Sentinel climbed up onto the ring apron and entered the ring. Tolly immediately came face to face with the Sentinel. The referee tried to keep them apart, but each time the referee moved Tolly back, he would simply step back forward into Sentinel. Sentinel stood there motionless with that grin on his face, amused at Tolly’s frustration. Tolly had enough of this and pushed the referee back a few steps and…
*SMACK*
Tolly slapped the spit right out of Sentinel’s mouth and stepped into him face to face once again.
DING
DING
DING
The referee called for the bell at the first sight of physical contact.
*SMACK*
Sentinel chopped the holy hell out of Tolly's chest. He crumpled to the mat in pain as the smile was gone from Sentinel's face. He picked Tolly up by the throat and held him high over his head before slamming him down with a vicious chokeslam. He put a boot on top of his chest for the cover.
One.
Two.
A thousand.
DING
DING
DING
Masters: Here is your winner...THE SENTINEL!!
The referee raises the Sentinel's hand in victory but Sentinel doesn't get to bask in his glory for too long as Erik Josten is making his way down the aisle. Dressed in street clothes, he climbs in the ring and brushes past the Sentinel, demanding the microphone from Donald Masters. Masters wastes no time in giving it to him.
Josten: Alright, I'm done playing these stupid games! I don't know who the hell you are and I really don't care. Dark Truth, get your ass out here and let's settle this!
"RAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
Josten paces around a bit.
Josten: I'm not playing around! Get your ass out here now!
Nothing.
Josten continues to pace angrily.
Josten: You know what, whoever you're a fucking coward!
Erik slams the mic down and climbs out the ring. He walks up the aisle muttering to himself. When all of a sudden...
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
Erik stops and turns around, looking around the arena. He doesn't see the Dark Truth anywhere in sight.
"Erik... when will you learn? You don't make the rules. I DO!"
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
Erik stands at the top of the stage, staring out to the ring as the laughter continues. Erik roars in anger before stomping off.
NON TITLE:
KYLE SHANE and PAUL FROST © versus LUKE RIGGS and DUSTIN HOLT
Riggs and Holt are already in the ring as the opening notes of "The Catalyst" by Linkin Park queue up on the speakers as on the screen, a video game drop down menu opens and the cursor hovers over the options, "LOAD GAME, SAVE GAME" before coming to the first option, "START GAME" and highlighting it. Kyle Shane steps slowly out onto the stage. The Assassins hood to his long-coat is pulled low over his face. The distinctive duo of Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda rises in tempo as it begins the call-and response: "God bless us everyone, we're a broken people living under loaded gun. And it can't be outfought, it can't be outdone, it can't be outmatched, it can't be outrun. No! And when I close my eyes tonight, to symphonies of blinding light!" Kyle tilts his head back and holds his arms out, taking in the reception of the crowd. The crowd gets on it's feet for the returning God of Game. There are pockets of people that are irritated and give their negative reaction to the flippy, smarky, self-absorbed Catalyst, 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.
Diamond: “Well, here comes one half of the odd couple of tag team champions.”
Baxter: “A nerd is paired with a God...”
Frost’s music starts but nobody appears and Shane looks over the ropes and shakes his head as Frost doesn’t appear.
Diamond: “It looks as though Kyle Shane has been stood up.”
Baxter: “Not for the first time I imagine...”
As The God of Game looks out at the ramp, Riggs and Holt jump him and put the boots into him and the referee eventually gets control of the situation and pushes Holt out of the ring and signals for the match to start.
Diamond: “I guess we are having a handicap match then!”
Riggs kicks Shane into the corner and then drags his opponent to his feet. He drops down to deliver a shoulder barge to the midsection and connects. He backs away for a second but is met with a knee to the face from the Catalyst! Riggs staggers backwards, Shane hops onto the middle rope and leaps off to deliver a middle rope leaping leg-drop across the back of Riggs’ head! Shane nips up to his feet, drags Riggs up and hits a snap suplex!
Baxter: “Kyle Shane is being like all African-American mothers and showing the world that he don’t need no man!”
Diamond: “Wow... Way to hit all the stereotypes.”
Riggs gets to all fours and Shane drags him up and drives a knee into the jaw and chest of Riggs. The God of Game delivers a chop to the chest of Riggs and backs Riggs up before whipping his opponent into the corner but Riggs reverses and whips Shane into the corner. Riggs staggers backwards and reaches out to tag Holt who charges in, runs at Shane who is in the opposite corner and meets a face full of boot from the Catalyst. Kyle runs up behind Holt and delivers a backstabber! Kyle Shane pops up to his feet and roars at the crowd!
Diamond: “Kyle Shane is sending a message to Paul Frost tonight that he is the bread and butter of this tag team!”
The Catalyst drags Holt to his feet and hits a suplex, rolls the hips and hits a second and rolls his hips again to hit a third as Riggs charges the ring and into a set of triple suplexes of his own! Kyle Shane pops to his feet, runs into the ropes and hits a running dropkick to the face of Holt, rolls through, runs to the opposite ropes, returns and hits one to the head of Riggs!
Baxter: “He’s getting fired up!”
Kyle Shane stands between the pair as they sit up looking dazed. He points to the lights and delivers a flurry of kicks to both men in turn before backing into the ropes and hits a double running knee to the faces of his opponents. The God of Game signals for the end and drags both men up to their feet, locks up their heads and drives them into the mat with a double headlock driver!
Diamond: “Double Pieces of Eden!”
Shane covers Holt and the referee makes the count!
1!
2!
3!
DING! DING! DING!
Masters: “Here are your winners... Kyle Shane... And...”
Kyle Shane cuts Masters off and refuses to allow his partner’s name to be called out. He snatches the microphone from his hand.
Shane: “No! No! If he can’t be bothered to show up, then he doesn’t deserve his name to be called like he doesn’t deserve to be called the Ta-”
BLACKOUT!
Baxter: “Good grief.”
The lights come on and Frost is behind The Catalyst! He spins him around and drops him with a Frostbite! Shane is flat out in the centre of the ring as he looks down at him with a wild look in his eyes. He leans down and picks up Shane’s title belt, places it over his shoulder alongside his own and smiles at the crowd as they boo. Frost’s music plays and he makes his way back up the ramp smirking as he goes.
THE STONED AND THE DRUNK ONES
“Hail to the King” by Avenged Sevenfold hits the speakers as there’s boos heard coming from the crowd as Chris Page emerges out to the top of the ramp.
Masters: Ladies and Gentleman please welcome, CHRONIC CHRIS PAGE!
Chris stands at the top of the ramp dressed in a nice suit sported by Kenneth Cole. Chris starts to make the walk towards the ring.
Diamond: I can only wonder what’s running through that man’s mind following Wrestle Wars Twelve just two short weeks ago.
Baxter: None of my calls to Chris Page were returned over the last two weeks! He’s not spoken to a single soul.
Chris reaches ringside where he climbs up on to the ring apron before stepping through the ropes and into the ring where he walks across the ring reaching out for a microphone before taking center stage as the music fades away leaving boos from the crowd as Chris addresses the camera.
CHRIS PAGE- “I’m not going to come out here and make excuses for Wrestle Wars Twelve because the fact of the matter is I got beat by Andy Johnson…”
There’s a loud pop from the crowd at the mention of Andy’s name as we see Chris continue.
CHRIS PAGE- “I’m not upset, I’m not aggravated and I’m not going to rage quit over it because what’s done is done and while Andy got the victory, if he thinks this is over I’m here to tell you that this isn’t over; not by a long shot.”
Chris seriously states.
CHRIS PAGE- “I’ve been in this business for over twenty years and I’ve accomplished everything that I’ve set out to accomplish, I’ve beaten everyone I’ve set out to beat and I’ve done everything that I wanted to do while in this profession that a loss doesn’t hurt me in any way, shape or form.”
There’s a slight pause from Chris before he continues.
CHRIS PAGE- “And now that Wrestle Wars is behind us the question now becomes… What’s next?”
Another pause from Chris before continuing.
CHRIS PAGE- “The only logical thing to do is put my focus and my attention where it belongs within the Royal Family fighting alongside my King and Queen….”
No sooner than Page makes his proclamation about the future, the Tron suddenly cuts to the parking lot. A somber Adam Barker is slumped against a dumpster. He has procured another bottle of booze from somewhere, proceeding to wave it around in the air as he mumbles almost incoherently to himself. The camera view is shaky, as if being recorded on a phone or by somebody who isn’t a professional like those surrounding the ring. The shot zooms in on Barker, whose depression seems to have reached new heights thanks to the fuel the alcohol feeds it.
ADAM BARKER- “….. I’ve got…*hic*…. nothing to live for anymore.”
He takes a large swig out of the bottle before letting out a distressed groan.”
ADAM BARKER- “…they’ve taken… everything…*hic*…. from me. What’sh the point? What’sh the point in even bother*hic*ing anymore?”
He takes another almighty mouthful of whiskey, although this one may have been a little too vigorous. He begins to cough and splutter as the whiskey travels down his windpipe. He retches, trying to hold back a wave of bile from his stomach. He writhes in agony, knocking the bottle over. It’s contents spill out onto the floor. Once he has recovered, Adam looks down at the spilled liquor as if it were money being flushed down a toilet. He begins to sob once more, burying his head into his knees as he curls up into a ball.
Suddenly, something clatters across the ground. It is another bottle of alcohol! Adam looks towards it for just a moment. His expression turns to glee for a split second, before noticing that the contents of the bottle is not liquid… it is something wrapped into a tube; a literally message in a bottle. Confused, Adam unscrews the lid and unravels the note. He reads it to himself, trying to focus on the words. Although it quickly becomes apparent that he wishes that he hadn’t. Once again, he begins to sob. He throws the letter to the floor, before going absolutely berserk! He begins slamming his head against the dumpster, flailing his arms at pieces of piping that are leant at the side and behind it. They clatter hollowly to the ground. As Adam staggers away, screaming in mental agony, the camera turns its attention to the note…
It reads;
“YOU’RE A DISGRACE! YOU’VE LET EVERYONE DOWN! YOUR FRIENDS HATE YOU! YOUR FAMILY HATE YOU! YOU DON’T DESERVE TO LIVE! YOU SHOULD LEAVE AND NEVER COME BACK! BETTER YET, JUST KILL YOURSELF!”
“SINCERELY,”
“MOTHER”
The crowd can be heard gasping at the severity of the letter. Could this letter really have been written by Adam Barker’s own MOTHER!?
The cameraman quickly begins to pursue Adam. Adam Barker stumbling towards his limousine. He seems bloodied. Perhaps he had fallen in his drunken stupor, or he had sullied himself during his brief inebriated rampage. His clothes are even more torn and ragged than before. The driver casually opens the door for his passenger.
ADAM BARKER- “Turn the ingnit-ish-ignish... ingnition… ignition on. And keep it running.”
Adam bungles himself into the vehicle. The driver closes the door behind him and walks out of view. The camera seems to have come to rest, focusing on the door that Adam Barker had entered. Everything goes quiet… up until the engine of the limousine fires into life.
Page watches on from the ring, staring at the limousine… it looks like the moment has finished, until we suddenly see something coming from the window, trickling down the white door of the limo… it looks like a river of blood!
The cameras quickly shut off, revealing that Chris Page has already hurled himself out of the ring and is now sprinting up the entrance ramp. He disappears into the back. Even the crowd seem to show genuine levels of concern.
Diamond- “What the hell is happening back there!?”
Baxter- “No clue, but it certainly has Chris Page and everybody else in this arena concerned! Don’t forget, Chris Page and Adam Barker have been practically best friends for years!”
Diamond- “That’s definitely true. He can’t help but be concerned for Adam. Even after everything that has happened in recent months, I think I would be too!”
The cameras fade for a commercial.
LEGENDS versus LEGENDS TOUR
HAWAIIAN HARDHEAD versus JAMES RAVEN
James Raven and Hawaiian Hardhead are in the ring as the bell sounds. The match starts off with both men locking up with HHH getting the early advantage, taking Raven into a side headlock. Raven gets free by pushing HHH off of him, HHH bounces off the ropes and Raven lands a huge back body drop in the middle of the ring. Raven starts to take over by grounding HHH with a series of rapid elbow drops. HHH gets the momentum to swing in his favour after Raven has pulled HHH to his feet and HHH catch Raven off guard with a knife edge chop that has Raven reeling to the corner.
A big avalanche splash by HHH lands, sending Raven to the mat with HHH following him to the ground for a pin where Raven gets his leg on the rope just in the nick of time, saving the match. HHH sends Raven tumbling out of the ring after the near pin fall by just using his raw power and clotheslining him over the top rope. Instead of playing it safe, HHH pursues his adversary outside the ring, bouncing his head off the guard rail multiple times before, Raven gets a boot up to block it, followed by an elbow to the stomach, and now Raven is bouncing HHH’s head off the guard rail about five or six times before taking HHH down with a picture perfect leg sweep.
Raven rolls HHH back into the ring as the referee’s count hits 8. As HHH rolls into the ring, he makes his way to his feet. Raven and HHH are now both in the middle of the ring slugging it out, back and forth. Raven takes the advantage as he ducks under a left hand and dropkicks HHH down to the mat. It’s Raven’s turn to go for a pin and HHH kicks out after a count of two. Raven continues his assault by nailing HHH with three unanswered suplexes! The crowd is also really starting to get behind Raven as he is feeding off the energy from the crowd. He allows HHH to get up to his feet before attempting a fourth suplex, that is reversed by HHH into a suplex of his own much to the dismay of the crowd.
HHH drops down on a fallen Raven with a series of headbutts. HHH pulls Raven off the mat and throws him into the corner. HHH follows him and tees off on Raven with a series of shoulder blocks to the midsection. After 8 unanswered blows, HHH lets up, letting Raven stumble and stagger to the centre of the ring holding his midsection. HHH lines up Raven… He runs at Raven to attempt to split Raven in half with a spear only to get caught in a super tight guillotine choke hold. Both men are on the ground as Raven is yanking on the neck of HHH as he’s turning red from the choke. HHH uses his strength to lift Raven up off the ground still in the choke. Raven wraps his legs around HHH to keep up the pressure on the choke. HHH charges into the corner and dives, driving Raven’s back into the turnbuckles, finally breaking Raven’s grip enough to hit him with a scoop slam. HHH falls to the mat with another pin attempt only to receive another close 3 count, but not close enough to win him the match.
HHH shows the referee how to count to 3 on the mat as the referee shows him two fingers! As HHH is complaining to the referee about the count, James Raven is using the ropes to get to his feet. By the time HHH is done educating the referee, Raven is standing in front of him, throwing off rights and lefts, making HHH cower to defend himself. Raven starts a series of knife edge chops in the corner before hip tossing HHH into the middle of the ring. Raven decides its a good time to go high risk as he starts to climb the turnbuckle, but it turns out the series of moves before weren’t enough to keep HHH down for long. HHH charges over and open hand slaps Raven as he’s almost on the top turnbuckle. HHH steps up onto the second turnbuckle and drapes Raven’s arm over his head…. SUPERPLEX SHAKES THE RING! HHH covers again! One…Two.. Raven rolls his shoulder just as the referee’s hand was an inch away from hitting the mat for a third and final time! This really sets off HHH! He gets up and really starts yelling at the referee about his count. The referee isn’t having any of it and pushes HHH to get out of his face and HHH stumbles back right into a school boy pin from Raven! One… Two… NO!
HHH slides out and still looks pissed at the ref but this isn’t the time as now he and Raven are both standing in the middle of the ring. They lock up quickly and Raven takes the advantage this time by executing a picture perfect fireman carry on HHH, but HHH pops right back up to his feet and swings with a clothesline that’s ducked by Raven, who in turn runs off the ropes, rebounds and hits HHH with a swinging neckbreaker. Raven dives onto HHH for the pinball! HHH kicks out rather quickly at 1, which surprises Raven. Raven waits for HHH to get to his feet once more. FYS by Raven almost kicks HHH’s head into the tenth row as the crowd goes nuts just from the sound of the impact. The only thing that’s keeping HHH on his feet is the fact that after getting hit by the FYS, the ropes have kept him upright! Raven is poised to hit him with the Flight of the Raven! HHH pushes Raven off of him and into the ropes and Raven tries to counter with a clothesline, HHH ducks, springs off the ropes and smashes into Raven with a spear!!! HHH snaps up to his feet and just waits for Raven to get to his feet!! HAWAIIAN HAMMER!! HHH hooks the leg and finally gets the 1…2…3!!!!
WINNER: HAWAIIAN HARDHEAD
TEAM DORLING or TEAM CONNOLLY?
Diamond: 'We knew he'd show up at some point, here's Chris Dorling, one half of a match at Wrestle Wars that the rules couldn't contain!'
Baxter: 'You mean one half of a couple of fools that got themselves disqualified!'
Dorling appears on the ramp and drinks in the vocal support from the crowd, pointing to his 'Team Dorling' shirt and gesturing to those in attendance. He slaps the hands of a few fans as makes his way down to the ring. He pauses on the ring steps before ducking under the top rope. The fans keep the noise levels up as he stands in the centre of the ring, gesturing for a microphone from one of the production staff. He waits a few moments before bringing the mic to his lips.
Dorling: 'Wow wow wow! Listen to that fuckin' noise! Listen to TEAM DORLING!'
Baxter: 'Oh this is sickening.'
Dorling: 'Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls; what a god damned night it was at Wrestle Wars!'
The crowd is obviously in agreement.
Dorling: 'I told you. Connolly told you. We said we would put on a display in Atlanta and the aching in my bones tells me that we delivered and then some. You guys know me. You know that I say what I want to say; sometimes it doesn't NEED saying but it's always what I WANT to say.
In Georgia you saw what a man who NEEDS can do. You saw Christian Connolly scrap for every centimetre of ground in that ring to keep his title. And you saw what a man that WANTS can do. You saw me push right back and, you know what? In the end we both pushed over the limit. Frustrating as fuck but holy shit did it feel good at the time!'
Dorling nods as the crowd cheers in approval.
Dorling: 'Christian Connolly. I don't go out of my way to be nice to others. I don't blow smoke and I don't offer praise lightly; but that was one hell of an effort 2 weeks ago and I appreciate it. You want to go again, any time, any place - you got it. Hell, you want to team up and take on the fucking world? I'll consider it. But this isn't about what I want. It's not about what the Champ wants. It's about what these people want.'
Dorling gestures around all 4 sides of the ring.
'That match we had. It deserves better. It deserves a moment. It deserves clarity. It deserves more. You don't put on a 7 course meal and skip dessert! You don't tease a dog with a treat and never deliver. He'll end up biting your finger off! You don't put on a motherfucking masterclass of mat wrestling, brawling, flying and cojones like we did and then forget to put the cherry on top of the damned cake.'
Crowd noise starts to build, they know where this is going.
Baxter: 'I think I know where he's going with this.'
Dorling: 'A man that wants is dangerous. Multiply that by thousands and you've got a riot. So what I'm saying is, Team Dorling - do you want to see this finished? Do you want MORE?!'
They do. Loudly.
Dorling: 'I don't care what I have to do. I'll win another tournament if I have to. I'll face the entire fucking hall of fame if that's what it takes. I WANT to do this dance again. I WANT to give everybody here and everybody watching at home what they crave. So what do you say? Connolly? Rotten? TEAM DORLING? Shall we do this again? One more time...'
The crowd takes Dorling's queue and begins to chant 'one more time' as he raises his fist to the air.
Dorling: 'This. This is why I've always loved Japan.'
Diamond: Looks like we don't have to wait for an answer!
After a few moments of Steve Perry singing, Christian Connolly emerges from the back to an insane reception. Dressed in a pair of black Jordan track pants, a black t-shirt with a gold Double S Superman logo, black & gold Jordan 1 Retros, and of course, the WGWF Intercontinental title strapped around him pageant style; he walks down the aisle, slapping hands with many of the Japanese fans. He hops onto the apron and climbs in the ring. He pulls a microphone from his back pocket and the music dies down, but then the Superman chants start.
Connolly: 大阪!
Crowd roars.
Connolly: Sounds like alot of you are Team Dorling.
Crowd roars.
Connolly: Well you should be cause this man brought everything he had at Wrestle Wars and he did exactly what he set out to do and that's steal the show.
Crowd applauds.
Connolly: But I walked in and did exactly what I said I would do... and that's leave as the champion.
'Ooohs' ring out over the crowd.
Connolly: Now I will admit that the ending, it didn't sit right with me. Ever since Wrestle Wars I've had everyone questioning if I would've beat you.. questioning if on that night, you were the better man. I can't live with that. Now.. I gotta know. So if you want another shot at this title... you ain't gotta win another tournament, or battle royal or MDK's panties on a pole match... (crowd laughs) all ya gotta do and shake my hand, we'll make this official.
Connolly extends a hand and Dorling looks at it for a second, before shaking it.
“LADIES AND GENTLEMAN….”
The crowd pops big as Flash Rotten once again walks out to the top of the ramp with microphone in hand.
FLASH ROTTEN- “It’s good to see the two of you shaking hands in the middle of that ring; and while neither one of you can book matches, I happen to agree with all these fans here in attendance and the millions watching around the world… I want to see Connolly/Dorling Part Two! And I want to see it Monday Night May 28th!”
The crowd roars loudly!
FLASH ROTTEN- “Not only when Brawl comes to Beijing am I giving the world Slater/Cable for the World Title inside a Steel Cage…. I’m giving you Connolly versus Dorling for the Intercontinental Championship… IN A IRON MAN MATCH!”
The crowd pops louder!!
FLASH ROTTEN- “You boys think you can steal the show? I CHALLENGE you too!!”
Flash turns and exits as we fade to commercial.
TAG TEAM ATTRACTION
ALYCE STARCHYLE and MDK w. Anarchy versus JOHN CABLE and TERRY BORDEN
"Real American" by Rick Derringer begins to play over the PA. The crowd roars as Real American comes out from the curtain dressed in yellow speedo style trunks, red knee pads, and yellow boots with a shirt that reads "REAL AMERICAN" in red and the shirt is yellow with a red bandana covering his head. Real American comes down the ramp walking up the steel steps and to the ring apron entering the ring. As he enters he rips off the shirt to a pop from the crowd before tossing his bandana to the crowd.
Masters: “The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall. Making his way to the ring first, from Venice Beach California and weighing in at 276lbs... Terry Borden!”
"The lights dim around the arena and a hush descends on the crowd. The opening taps of drums and the beginning riffs of the guitar of Pop Evil's 'Trenches' can be heard filtering through the speakers. Green pin spots swirl wildly around the arena flashing across the fans as they start to cheer wildly. Smoke fills the metal ramp as the drum beat and the guitar pick up a bit. A figure can be seen making its way out of the curtain atop the ramp, and green spotlights tear into the darkness, criss-crossing wildly in front of the curtain where we see a large silhouette of a man lit from behind the curtains.
Masters: “And his partner, from Oil City, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 267lbs... John... CABLE!”
The lyrics begin to chant the chorus and the fans really get into the bass beat of the drums and the kicking riffs of the guitar. The spotlights are waving across the stage wildly, and out of the darkness of the curtain, into the green spotlights waving everywhere, just as the music kicks in hard, John Cable limps forward onto the ramp with a scowl on his face and his leg in a brace.
Diamond: “The Man Beast clearly not at 100% tonight from the beating he took at Wrestle Wars.”
Baxter: “I can smell the gasoline still!
Cable makes his way down the ramp towards the rings as the fans cheer wildly. The lights fade in as the music goes on, and Cable climbs up onto the apron and under the ropes and Borden offers a hi-five to Cable who struggles over to the corner and doesn’t acknowledge his partner as the referee checks on the leg of Cable.
youtube-dj.com//k2WcOdz96ko/xEp8yJPjedU/1
A mash-up of “Blood in the Cut” and “Charlie Big Potato” plays and M.D.K and Alyce step out onto the ramp-way and they embrace at the top of the ramp, glower at the crowd before M.D.K points at the opposition in the ring and he and his partner fall about laughing at the crowd boo them.
Masters: “And their opponents, at a combined weight of 405lbs... The Royal Family of the WGWF; M.D.K... And Alyce Starchylde!”
The referee pushes Borden and Cable into their corner as M.D.K opens the ropes up for his partner to climb through. Cable insists that he starts the match and Borden makes sure that his partner is OK and Cable just shoves Borden out of the ring towards the corner as M.D.K simply squares up to his Wrestle Wars adversary, sneers and turns and tags in Alyce as the fans boo.
Alyce skips around the ring as Cable limps along towards the centre as the bell rings and Alyce surges forwards with a roll under the arm of the Man Beast as he goes for a clothesline and backs into the ropes, she charges behind Cable and boots him in the back of his knee and Cable collapses to the mat. Alyce saunters around her foe before making her way over to M.D.K and tags him in and the Crimson King whales in with stomps onto the injured leg of the Man Beast before dragging Cable up to his feet, slaps him in the face and drags him over to the corner and tags Starchylde back in.
Starchylde grabs the leg of Cable and drops it with a DDT before she leans down and slaps Cable as he battles his way to his feet. Alyce backs into the ropes, takes a running punt at Cable’s head who counters into an atomic drop and stumbles backwards into a tag on Borden who charges into the ring and levels a rising Alyce with a clothesline and follows on to knock M.D.K off of the apron. He turns around and kicks Alyce in the side of the head before dragging Alyce back to her feet and delivers a forearm shot before whipping her across the ring. Alyce crashes into the turnbuckle and gets the boots up to send Borden staggering away only to drop him with a bulldog!
She synchs in a side headlock and Borden struggles to his feet and pushes Alyce into the ropes. She ducks the clothesline and into the ropes where M.D.K hits a blind tag as Alyce returns and leaps at Borden who catches her and turns her into a military lift. The crowd cheer but then boos as M.D.K takes a running Yakuza kick at the jaw of Borden who crumples to the mat as M.D.K catches his queen. He makes sure she’s OK before taking the fight to Borden.
M.D.K and Alyce isolate the ring with Borden until the hot tag is made to Cable when the Man Beast charges the ring and he clears house. Alyce distracts the referee and M.D.K delivers a kendo stick shot to the already injured leg of Cable before tossing it out of the ring. Borden takes M.D.K out of commission with a clothesline out of the ring before tagging himself in to be legal. Alyce is legal and trades blows with Borden as Cable charges at M.D.K and spears him through the guard wall!
Cable is enraged as he uses the discarded kendo stick as a crutch as he climbs into the ring and the referee admonishes him for having a weapon. Incredulous, Cable roars in frustration and levels the referee with the Kendo stick before turning to Alyce and levels her too!
Diamond: “Cable has lost it and this match has been thrown out!”
Borden tries to calm Cable down and Cable breathes heavily before smacking Borden with the kendo stick as well! The crowd are stunned as Alyce crawls backwards in shock of the enraged Man Beast as he stalks the Queen of the WGWF. He raises the stick high and Alyce is dragged under the bottom rope to safety by M.D.K who talks trash at his adversary as the Royal Family make their escape as Cable stares around at the devastation he has caused.
BARKER’S SUICIDE
The cameras quickly cut the backstage area, where we see Chris Page is sprinting along the corridor. He busts through the door that leads into the parking lot. He looks around frantically. He looks genuinely troubled.
CHRIS PAGE- “ADAM!? ADAM!?”
His shouts are met with no response. He looks around, trying to locate the precise part of this vast parking lot where Adam Barker’s vehicle might be. He begins to run into the heart of the parking lot. There are members of the backstage crew already packing things away. Page rapidly approaches them.
CHRIS PAGE- “Have you seen Adam Barker anywhere around here?”
BACKSTAGE CREW- “Nope. Sure haven’t.”
Page scowls. Rather than waste time with these individuals, he continues his search. He spots another crowd of people close to a familiar looking dumpster. They are apparently clearing some of the debris left during Barker’s earlier rampage.
CHRIS PAGE- “Has anyone seen Adam Barker’s car? Or Adam himself?”
BACKSTAGE CREW- “I think it’s over there somewhere.”
The crew member points off far into the distance. He gives a half-hearted ‘thank you’ nod, even though locating this car is still going to be like finding a needle in a haystack. He begins running back and forth once again. He clasps his head with both hands. Unable to find what he is looking for, he starts to lose hope.
Out of nowhere, a familiar looking face appears… DANCING DUDE BILL! He appears conveniently from a small cluster of cars not too far from where Page is stood.
DANCING DUDE BILL- “Yo, CCP! Check this out, dude!”
Page follows the direction that Dancing Dude Bill is pointing. He had not noticed before, but just a short way away is a trail of droplets of blood that can barely be seen on the shimmering tarmac of the parking lot. Chris Page looks back. It seems to have started at the dumpster he was at earlier; both him and Adam. Following close behind, Dancing Dude Bill tails Chris Page.
He follows the sinuous trail of blood that weaves between parked vehicles. He can hear the sound of an engine running somewhere in close proximity, rousing suspicion. He tries to look over some of the lower cars, before noticing a significant number of four-wheel drive vehicles such as trucks and flatbeds obscuring a long, white vehicle; boxing it in to a corner. This is where the sound is coming from. Chris squeezes between the narrow gaps in between the vehicles, finally coming to the source; a white limousine.
Not just ANY white limousine, but Adam Barker’s personal white limousine.
Walls of mortar virtually press against the rear bumper and the far side of the vehicle, making it totally inaccessible due to the lack of space between the doors and the wall. Page knocks on the driver’s window. The glass has been tinted. The only thing he can see is his own reflection staring back at him. He tries to open the driver’s door.
It’s locked.
He tries looking through the windshield. Even there, he is unable to see anybody inside. He places his hands on his hips, confused and worried at the same time.
He reverts his attention back to the trail of blood that toward the rear door. It is at this point that he notices something is amiss. Camouflaged by the tint of the glass, the electronic window of the rear driver’s-side door has been depressed very slightly, yet the gap made has been covered by thick layers of black scotch tape, making an almost airtight seal. Something protrudes from the tape; some sort of tubing. Maybe a hose pipe?
…
Page gasps.
CHRIS PAGE- “ADAM!!!!!!”
He begins pounding his fist against the window, trying to rouse Adam inside. There is no reply. Dancing Dude Bill also begins to pound on the window, before looking around and trying to find something that might aid them. Sure enough, in one of the flatbeds, a shovel is resting within. As Page tries yanking at the door handle out of sheer hopelessness and anguish, Dancing Dude Bill calls out to him.
DANCING DUDE BILL- “Yo, try this, dude!”
Page looks back. He holds out an arm as Bill throws the shove. Page catches it and immediately begins hammering at the window panes with the shovel. It is no good. The blade of the shovel bends on the bulletproof glass. Instead, he uses the metal handle of the shovel as a battering ram.
This does the trick! The glass shatters into hundreds of thousands of pieces.
As Page busts the window, exhaust fumes begin to billow from the vehicle. Page covers his nose and mouth, coughing and spluttering as he reaches into the vehicle to try and open the door from the inside. It is locked from the inside as well, the only way to get in would be for the driver to allow the access. But this is not possible either! Unable to open the door fully, Chris wrenches at the hose pipe, ripping it away so that no more smoke can enter the car.
He clambers in through the broken glass and begins booting at the limousine door from the inside. Invigorated with strength by fear of losing his best friend, he is able to kick the door open, busting the lock securing it. Even more smoke erupts from the car as personnel begin to gather around the horrific scene. Finally, Page is able to drag Adam Barker out to safety.
There are whoops and cheers from onlookers as paramedics fight their way to the front. Page is spluttering and coughing, but Adam Barker is motionless!
Diamond- “Thank goodness Chris Page stopped this. Adam Barker just tried to kill himself on national television!
Baxter- “I’m at a loss for words. Could losing ownership of the WGWF really have made Adam Barker make such a desperate call!?”
Diamond- “He needs to get to a hospital. And FAST!”
Paramedics are ready with a stretcher. Chris Page walks alongside the paramedics, offering words of assurance that he is not certain that they are reaching the intended ears. The paramedics are able to load Adam Barker into the back of a waiting ambulance. CCP clambers in alongside him, before the paramedics close the rear doors behind them. Within moments, the klaxons and sirens begin to blare as the ambulance pulls out of the arena…
FADE TO BLACK!

The crowd roars as the bell tolls for our Triple Threat Champions Showcase. Slater is in his corner, Connolly in his corner and Johnson-Page in his corner with the crowd breaking out into an “ANDY! ANDY! ANDY!” chant to start things off.

Connolly escapes the near fall and both men are quickly to their feet as they smirk towards each other while we see Slater reach his feet against a set of buckles. Connolly holds up one finger towards Johnson before turning his attention towards Slater. Andy, slower , but finally gets it as his attention shifts towards Slater.
Baxter: Wait just a second here.
Andy and Connolly turn facing Slater and start to walk towards him as the crowd pops. Slater tries begging off but ultimately realizes this isn’t going to end well so he comes forward swinging at Connolly who blocks the right hand before driving Slater back into the buckles with a shoulder block! He continues to drive repeated shoulders to the midsection of Slater!! Connolly starts to lay some boots to the chest and lower abdomen before stepping to the side as Andy picks up with stomps to the lower abdomen which drives Slater down to a seated position against the buckles as we see Connolly back up across the ring against the opposite set of buckles!
Diamond: Andy and Connolly are working collectively against THE Tristan Slater! I love it!!
Baxter: I can’t say that I disagree with you on that one.
Johnson steps out of the way as Connolly explodes with a full head of steam across the ring delivering double knees to the face driving Slater’s head and neck violently back against the middle turnbuckle followed by whiplashing it forward!! The crowd pops as we see Slater roll out to the floor and attention falls back on Connolly and Johnson who take center ring with a lock up where each man jockeys for position. Connolly snatches a side headlock on the Television Champion and starts grinding down on his head before being struck in the side of the ribs by Andy’s right fist. Andy backs Connolly up against the ropes where he fires him across the ring, Connolly bounces off the ropes and runs right over Johnson with a running shoulder block!

Baxter: Slater started his career here in Japan; they know him and his style.
Slater pops back up to his feet as his attention turns towards the Intercontinental Champion that has reached his feet and is coming forward with a right hand! Slater ducks and takes a back waist lock on the Intercontinental Champion where there’s a standing side switch as Connolly now has the back waist lock on Slater where he looks to hurl the Champion backwards with a German Suplex, Slater flips backwards landing on his feet and as Connolly spins around swinging with a right Slater blocks before driving a boot to the midsection of Connolly and quickly locks a front face lock before hooking up the right leg of Connolly! Slater hoists Christian up in the air before driving him down into the canvass with a Hangman’s DDT!!! The crowd pops!! Slater rolls Connolly over making a cover!!
REFEREE: ONE…. TWO…. THR
There’s more life in Connolly as he kicks out to a pop from the crowd.
