November 20th 2005
TB: OH MY GOD IT CAN'T BE!!!
(Suddenly the music cuts out and a countdown clock comes up on the jumbo tron.)
2:45:00
2:44:59
2:44:58
2:44:57
(Just then a voice comes over the arena.)
Voice: We are almost there my children. I know everyone has been waiting for this night, and tonight will belong to me. So sit back, enjoy the show, but don't forget I am coming, and this WILL be my night.
(And just as quickly as it started everything goes back to normal. The lights comes back and LMS is underway.)
TB: That can't be who I think it is.
KK: There's no way its been well over two years since we saw him.
TB: I guess we will have to wait and see. Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the biggest event of the Hardcore Wrestling Alliance 3000's year. This is what we've all been waiting for, the pinnacle of achievement and the highlight of the calendar, this is HWA's 4th annual Last Man Standing!
A highlights package is played, showing the highlights of previous year's last man standing. It shows Danny Star winning the first two, and Ryan Maxem the third. Next we see a run down of this year's tournament. The new group phase and the matches contained within that, and then finally the quarter final matches where there were several upsets, including a Gary Katzenmoyer no show, and The eXiled going toe to toe with the HWA Hall Of Famer; Danny Starr.
KK: This year's Last Man Standing has been quite the talk of the wrestling world. Now we are here, the end is in sight. Who will become the 2005 Last Man Standing Champion?
Syren walks in to her locker room and sees it destroyed, She looks around and looks confused, as the door closes behind her, a man in all black is behind her. She turns around and screams but is met with a crocket mallet int he head and she falls down. The man stands over her and drops the mallet and walks away.
TB: Woah, what just happened there? This isn't how the pay per view was meant to start!
KK: Well, no prizes for guessing who just took Syren out there...
KK: Yes, quite something considering the past between the two men. Is this a new David Jackson? Or is it the old Danny Starr?
TB: I wonder if we'll find out tonight Keith.
FixXxer by Metallica sounds, and Danny Starr walks out from the back. He has a look of confidence on his face.
KK: Danny Starr looking like he has already won this match. Considering he could have anything up to three matches tonight, he ought to be pacing himself.
TB: Can't see that happening Keith to be honest. Starr will always give all of himself.
"Not Listening” by Papa Roach hits next and The Celtic Warrior Kevin Conner runs out to ringside, slapping hands with his fans on the way down.
KK: And here’s the man we all love to hate, Kevin Conner!
TB: Keith, you know Conner’s a face, right? The crowd LOVES this guy!
KK: Well, in that case, the man that I love to hate.
TB: Alright, whatever Keith.
“Like Light to Flies” by Trivium blasts over the speakers, and the lights go out as the eXiled makes his way to the ring, silently as usual.
TB: Finally making his way down is the new blood of the tournament, the eXiled. He’s basically an unknown, apparently the only one who knows anything about him is Sett, yet he’s already come this far into LMS. I can’t wait to see how he does here tonight, Keith.
KK: Yeah, Trent, for once I agree with you. This kid’s got a lot of potential, even if he working with that giant ape Sett.
TB: Y’know, Keith, I don’t think Sett would appreciate that. I heard he’s getting his cast off soon, too.
KK: Oh, in that case, I retract my statement. Sett is a great wrestler, and a great man to boot. Absolutely flawless.
TB: I’m sure he’ll be glad to hear your praise. On to the match.
The bell rings as the lights come back on from X’s entrance. Immediately, Starr and Conner begin to stalk each other, leaving X to sit back in the corner and ‘watch’. Starr and Conner lock up to kick off the match, and Starr, being the stronger of the two, manages to overpower Conner, pulling him into a side headlock. Conner, as per the usual exchange at the beginning of a match, slips out of his grasp, pushing Starr into the ropes and setting up for a big dropkick on his return. Starr, however, wraps his arms around the ropes, stopping his return and causing Conner to dropkick nothing but air, falling flat on his face instead. X continued to sit back as Starr then rushed forward with a jumping knee drop onto Conner’s back.
TB: And Starr with a devastating knee drop there. I wonder what X is thinking over there by himself.
KK: Probably plotting on how best to beat both of these much more seasoned, veteran wrestlers.
Sure enough, as Starr rolled off of Conner after his attack, X was there in front of him, delivering a quick snap kick to his face. Starr, stunned, fell in a heap. X dropped onto him for the pin. The referee counts, one, kickout.
TB: X going for the early victory there.
KK: He should know better than to try that against someone like Danny Starr.
All three men were now back on their respective feet. Starr, enraged that this young upstart would try something as foolish as pin HIM, immediately went for X, throwing a right hook his way. The eXiled, however, showed Starr his inherent expertise with the martial arts, grabbing Starr’s extended arm and twisting it, following up with a kick to the face. Starr, however, ducks it, leaving X’s foot flying over his head and landing, facing away from Starr, whose arm is now between X’s legs. Capitalizing, Starr pulls up quickly, giving X a crotch shot and causing him to fall to his knees.
TB: I knew that bastard Starr was going back to his old ways!
KK: Nonsense, Keith, he was just using the weapons he was given. X set him up for that, he was BEGGING for a lowblow.
Starr, still capitalizing on X’s position, dropkicks him in the back, sending him falling flat onto his face, much like Conner earlier in the match.
Speaking of Conner…
Conner then immediately leaps off of the top turnbuckle, catching Starr’s head as he gets up with a giant bulldog from the top rope. The crowd erupts in cheers at this, amazed at the feat.
TB: HOLY SHTI! Did you see that, Keith?!
KK: Conner’s just showing us how bad he wants this, Trent.
Conner rolls Starr over and goes for the second pinfall on him tonight. The referee counts it: One, t- kickout.
TB: Conner faring slightly better than X there.
The eXiled was still laying on the floor in pain, trying to rest it off as Starr kicked out of Conner’s pinfall, getting back up to his feet and locking up with Conner once more. Conner, however, knew that such a move would be consequential to him, and quickly broke the lock with a kick to the midsection, doubling Starr over. Bouncing off the ropes behind him, Conner caught Starr on his way back, twirling him up into a swinging neckbreaker. Upon hitting the ground, however, Star quickly got back up, charging Conner and spearing him to the ground, following up with a flurry of punches. The referee did his best to get Starr to get off of him, but he refused, continuing to rain down blows upon Conner. Finally, he was stopped by the eXiled, who came from seemingly out of nowhere, kicking him in the back of the head, causing Starr to lose direction and fall off of Conner. Conner rolled over on top of Starr to pin, but before the referee could even hit the floor, X nailed Conner, too, kicking him hard in the side, literally knocking him off of Starr.
KK: That was a hell of a kick by the eXiled!
TB: The kid knows his martial arts, that’s for sure, he actually used the tip of his foot like a scoop to send Conner flying, that must’ve taken some serious leg strength.
X instead covers Starr, and the referee, still near the ground ready from the first pinfall attempt, begins to count. One, two, and Starr kicks out, but still lays there, dizzy from the kick. X hops to his feet, as does Conner. Conner stands there, staring at X. X, being blind, can’t look back, but stands still as well, obviously quite intent on focusing on the man glaring at him. Finally, Conner explodes into action, rushing forward with a clothesline that X nimbly ducks under. Bounding off the ropes, Conner comes back around again, but X, still crouching, thrusts forward, catching Conner in the gut and flipping him over his back. Conner, however, amazingly lands on his feet, causing the crowd to collectively “ooooh!” X, now standing up, receives a superkick to the back of the head, sending him to the ground. Conner hops to the top rope, preparing for a big Frog Splash onto X, who has rolled over in an attempt to get to his feet.
TB: Old-school Conner here, coming off the top with the One of a Kind.
Conner leaps off the top rope, frog splashing forward, only to be met with Starr, who had gotten up and leapt forward, grabbing Conner in a headlock in mid-air and giving him a DDT straight out of Hell. Both men landed directly on top of eXiled, just to top it off. The crowd erupts in a “HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!” chant, as all three men lay in the ring, obviously exhausted from such a display.
KK: TRENT! WOW!!
TB: Aye, Keith, that was one hell of a trick there, I think it’s taken it’s toll on all three competitors. Let’s see who gets up first, this could be the deciding factor of the match right here.
Conner lays on the ground completely unconscious, no doubt feeling the move the hardest. X lays on the ground, wheezing, the full weight of two men landing hard on him knocking the breath out of him. Starr rolls around, having landed hard onto his back and X, but finally, slowly, gets back to his feet, stumbling forward on top of Conner. The referee goes for the pinfall count: One, two, three! The bell rings, and Starr dizzily gets up to his feet as the referee raises his arm.
TB: What a show to kick us off, Keith!
KK: What a show, indeed, Trent! And just think, we’re JUST getting started here tonight at Last Man Standing!!
Conner is seen walking to the back pisses off after losing his LMS match. he runs into Erin Wallace who ask for a hug but COnner doesn't give it to her.
Erin Wallace: Its ok, you can do it next year, dont worry babe.
Kevin Conner: Its not that Erin, its fucking Pocket Change's fault, his assult on me earlier in the week is what threw me off, he's gonna pay, and he's gonna pay now.
Conner walks past Erin and then grabs a lead pipe and walks through the halls.
TB: I'd hate to Pocket Change right now!
Conner walkign but finds Kristin Thomas, she has her back turned and Conner coems up behind her. She is talking to the HWA make-up artist.
Kristin Thomas: I got $1500 for setting up Conner, it was great. The bafoon feel for it.
the make-up lady points for her to turn around and Conner grabs her by her hair and throws Kristin to the ground. He then holds the steal pipe across her throat and starts to yell at her.
Kevin Conner: "YOU THINK ITS FUCKING FUNNY? HOW FUNNY IS NOT BREATHING? HUH! WHAT I CAN'T FUCKING HERE YOU!"
Backstage personel comes and gets Conner off her. Conner is taken away and Kristin is there laying on the ground and others check on her.
TB: Decado is like the antichrist around here.
KK: He's a cancer on the federation if you ask me.
TB: One thing is undisputable though, his ability to get the job done. This guy is one HELL of an athlete.
Next, "Sugar" by Trick Daddy hits and the crowd almost lifts the roof off as the HWA Champion makes her way down to the ring. She is dressed to impress, wearing just some tiny hotpants and a tight sports top, showing off her toned midriff and chest.
KK: Holy shit... I need to get me some of that!
TB: You always did, remember?
KK: Get me some?! I wish!
TB: No, I meant you always needed to get you some!
The bell rings and we're underway. Decado immediately goes on the offence raining down blows on Syren. After just a few seconds, he lifts her up and flips her over before driving her face down into the mat hard, with a spike piledriver. The crowd quickly start a HOLY SHIT chant, while Decado covers Syren 1-2-3 and it's over.
TB: OH MY GOD, I can't believe this, Decado just beat the HWA champion in mere SECONDS!
KK: This is quite simply shocking. This just doesn't happen.
TB: This is only Decado's 5th match in the federation, and he beats the champion in seconds.
KK: It's not a championship match though Trent.
TB: That makes no difference! He still won! It all stems back to whoever that person was who attacked Syren earlier this evening. Syren hasn't had chance to recover from that mallet attack, and we all know who favours the mallet as his weapon...
KK: Well be that as it may, Decado just got through the finals of the Last Man Standing tournament, where he will face Danny Starr for the ultimate prize in this our sport.
TB: It will be interesting to see how Danny copes now that he has been subjected to a much tougher fight in his semi final. Decado here barely broke a sweat, whereas Starr nearly broke his back!
"Hell" by Disturbed hits. Thunder walks solemnly down to the center of the ring. He stands solitary and still.
Thunder: Ladies and Gentlemen. What I am about to announce has been a very tough decision. One of the toughest in my career. My years in not only this industry, but this company have been long and legendary. I am a part of history in this company and in this sport. I have held various titles and fought some of the very best this sport has ever had to offer. And so it is with a heavy heart that I have to announce that I will be joining my brothers-in-arms in the halls of retirement.
Each and every one of the people I have worked with has been tremendous. They are all worthy competitors and good men. I was a part of this company's creation and I cannot be more lucky to have had that experience. I thank every single person I have had the pleasure to have worked with.
My thanks also to Ron Royalty, who runs this company with all the tenacity and skill needed, and then just a bit more. All my brothers who have retired long before me, thank you for all the fights.
It was not an easy decision, but I believe it is the right one. These past few months of matches have proven to me that it is time for me to step back. I am not in my prime anymore, and I need to step away from the battlefield and let the newer fighters reign.
Concerning all those young fighters, good luck to you all. You're all talented and I have every hope that you will all go far in this business.
So this is it. This is my goodbye to all of you, fighters and fans. It has been a long, long run. And a good one. A life I wouldn't trade for all the gold in the world. I can only hope that I will be remembered as the spirited fighter in my prime, someone who fought his best and followed what he believed in. Someone who fought from his very heart and soul. And someone who tried to pass that on to others. I truly cannot believe how lucky I am to have lived this life, in this industry.
So to you all, thank you. And goodbye.
"Fear" by Disturbed, Thunder's original theme music hits. Thunder stands and raises an arm to signify his goodbye. He calmly walks away, the crowd giving him a standing ovation.
TB: Wow, Thunder throws in the towel.
KK: G'bye Thunder, and thanks for the memories.
The scene shifts to Simon Sadistic’s dressing room, where Pocket Change is standing over a fallen, bloody Simon, chair in hand. The seat has become stained red with Simon’s blood.
TB: HOLY SHIT!
Pocket Change laughs, and Sadistic moves not an inch.
Pocket Change: Haha, that’s one down already, bitch.
He drops the chair and leaves the area, as BYOB by System of a Down hits and Kevin Hurts comes down to the ring, already strewn about with weapons. Seeing a lead pipe that’s to his taste, he picks it up and examines it.
“Out of my Way” by Seether blasts over the speakers, and Tiger Knight comes down, sliding into the ring and dropkicking Hurts. Hurts, however, sees him sliding in, sidesteps, and gives TK a good smack on the side with his pipe. Tiger Knight falls, hard.
“Back Then” by Mike Jones hits, and the champ comes out confidently, with the title strap over his shoulder and the blood-stained chair still in his hand.
TB: Tiger Knight taking a rough hit at first, and here’s the champ, Pocket Change, looking as if he already won this match. Keep in mind, folks, this bout is no disqualification, no ring-out, anything goes match, it should be killer, no pun intended.
KK: Trent…?
TB: Yeah Keith?
KK: You suck. End of story.
TB: Thanks, Keith.
In the ring, Hurts and TK begin exchanging blows. Casually, PC slides into the ring, taking the chair in one hand, and his belt in the other. Hurts pushes TK back after blocking a punch, and Change gives Hurts a look, telling him to back off. Confused, Hurts complies, stepping back as Change tosses his belt into the air, shoulders his chair, and swings the chair into the belt and TK, nailing the ex-Japanese superstar with both the chair and the belt right in the face. TK, again, goes down hard. Turning to Hurts, Change grins viciously. He’s met, however, by a led pipe to the gut, followed by another across the back. Change drops the chair, and upon being nailed in the back, falls face-first onto it.
TB: Haha! Kevin Hurts the newcomer is picking up the hang of this pretty quickly.
He goes for the pin, and the referee, safely from the outside, yells: One, two, Change kicks out. Meanwhile, TK still is fairly motionless nearby. Both men get up and square off once more. Change grabs a nearby lead pipe, and Hurts grabs his from before. Rushing each other, both men swing the pipes, and they collide with each other with a loud crack. Pulling back Change swings again, this time low, but Hurts blocks it with his own. This goes back and forth, with the two ‘swordfighting’ with lead pipes.
TB: And just when I thought I’d seen it all in the HWA.
KK: Yeah, Trent, you’d think that a bear eating SyXx would’ve been the end-all, be-all, but no, now we’re having a throwback to the medieval times, right here in the ring.
This duel of the pipes is finally broken, by Change, surprisingly, disarming Hurts with a quick riposte of his blade… I mean… pipe. Hurts’s pipe skitters across the ring, and Change rears back to drop the now defenseless Hurts, but is met to a chair shot to the back, dropping him to hands and knees, courtesy of the now wide-awake Tiger Knight.
KK: Oooh, this new Tiger Knight showing some resolve in beating down the champ. I thought he was down for the count for sure.
TB: He had me fooled, too, Keith.
TK, however, shows his inexperience in such matches as these by not capitalizing, waiting instead to see what would happen, suddenly, Conner comes out from the crowd and then goes in the ring, superkicking TK.
TB: What is Conner doing here?
KK: He's not in this match!
Conner picks up a kendo stick and hits Hurts in the head it smashing into peices. Hurts, however, shows great fortitude, remaining standing, though wobbly. He then goes back outside and takes two trash can lids and slides back into the ring, smashing them on both side of Hurts’s head. Hurts threw his hands up to block, but the enraged Conner’s force keeps the lids coming, hitting him anyway. Conner sees Change there with no one else around. And he smiles.
TB: He just wanted Pocket Change alone!
KK: He's not in this match get him out.
KC: You destroy my LMS shot, i destory your X-treme Title Shot.
Conner kicks PC and then grabs him and they brawling up the ramp. Conner throws him into the stage and picks him up and steps back He then steps near the edge and then hits an overhead belly-to-belly suplex on Pocket Change sending him off the stage through electrial equipment, and then sercurity and crew come and take Conner away and check on Pocket Change. The crowd is chanting Holy Shit
TB: I agree with the crowd, Conner is a totally different man, i cant beleive this.
KK: At least now they're taking him to the back, he better save that for the The Real Hero.
TB: Well we got action in the ring we should get to.
And Trent is right. Hurts, having put his hands up earlier, blocking Conner’s vicious trashcan assault, had managed to get to his feet. Stumbling, Hurts basically falls on top of TK, whose superkick, combined with the title-and-chairshot from earlier had left him absolutely unconscious, and the referee counts out the pinfall: One, two, three. The bell rings, and Hurts is declared the victor.
TB: Wow. That’s one of the wilder X-Treme matches we’ve seen in a while, wasn’t it Keith?
KK: Trent, why do you ask me these things?
TB: What do you mean?
KK: I’m the color commentator, Trent, I get PAID to tell you that everything you say is BS. By the way, no, of course not, I’ve seen thousands of better X-treme matches.
TB: Keith, you’re a real card to work with, ya know that?
KK: Oh yeah, I knew it quite well.
TB: Danny Starr here again!
KK: Yes, his second of three matches this evening! Just call him Mr Stamina!
TB: No, I'll pass thanks Keith.
"Point of No Return" by Immortal Technique returns and all heads turn in the direction of the ramp. After several moments Nate hasn't appeared.
TB: Can someone in the back find Nate Hartman?
Nate's music plays again but Nate doesn't appear. The camera turns to Danny Starr in the ring. Danny shrugs and continues to warm up. They play Nate's music a third time but he still doesn't materialise. Eventually Danny is announced as the winner and he heads reluctantly to the back.
KK: Weird.
Announcer: Weighting in at 221 pounds, the current International Champion, Kevin Conner!
TB: Kevin Conner is stepping up to defend the International Title!
KK: It's been one hell of a night so far and something tells me it's going to get hotter still!
Conner enters the ring and proceeds to run up a turnbuckle. The camera pans out to reveal a multitude of flash-bulbs going off as he gestures to the fans, prompting more roars of adulation. He proceeds to pose and gesture on the remaining turnbuckles, raising his title on each one which bring out even more cheers from the many fans in the audience. Finally, he stands in the middle of the ring, waiting for his opponent and challenger.
KK: The fans here are getting a real treat, seeing one of HWA's best out here tonight
TB: More importantly, they're getting to see some of the HWA's best in action, live and on pay-per-view!
The PA system fades off and blares to life again with "Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down. The audience comes to life again after a brief pause of anticipation. The Real Hero steps out from the curtains onto the top of the ramp. His gaze moves out to the audience and smiles briefly before diverting his eyes towards Conner who is standing in the middle of the ring. Both men stare down each other momentarily before Hero proceeds down the ramp. Like Conner, he slaps hands with a few lucky fans before making his way to the ring. Conner's eyes do not leave Hero for a second.
Announcer: Weighting in at 230 pounds, The Real Hero!
KK: Conner staring intensely at Hero. They both have had their own respective legacies in the HWA and a history together as well.
TB: Indeed Kevin, these former tag-partners will be facing each other tonight over a title that both have held at some point in the HWA.
KK: The night keeps getting better and better!
The Real Hero climbs up to the edge of the ring and climbs over the top rope. They stare intently at each other the whole time, seemingly unaware of the ring announcer standing in between the both of them. The announcer takes the title off Conner's hands and hands it to another staff member waiting below the ring apron. With a microphone in hand, he addresses the audience.
Announcer: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Presenting the challenger weighting in at 230 pounds, The Real Hero!
The Real Hero looks towards the audience and raises his hands in a gesture of acknowledgement for the adulation he receives. Soon afterwards, his eyes return to Conner standing across from him.
Announcer: And your current defending International Champion weighting in at 221 pounds, Kevin Conner!
Conner runs around the ring, raising his hands which prompt perhaps a larger response from the audience. The announcer steps back, still holding the microphone up.
Announcer: At the ring of the bell, the match will begin.
He slides out off the ring and signals for a member of the ringside staff to ring the bell. As the bell echoes through the arena, the match is officially underway.
KK: And it's started!
Both men encircle each other, sizing each other up. Conner is showing some spring in his step as he weaves and moves while Hero continues in a slower but steady side-step. Soon afterwards, both men lunge at each other and their hands gripping and grappling each other's bodies. Conner's momentum causes Hero to take a step back but Hero gradually gains control as he pushes Conner back and downwards. Hero takes the opportunity to place Conner in a quick headlock but is countered into an arm-lock which Hero reverses into a whip towards the ropes. Conner bounces off and Hero sizes him up for a clothesline but misses as Conner dodges and slows his momentum. Conner goes in for a punch but Hero turns and blocks in time. Hero then attempts to throw a counter-punch of his own with his free hand but is counter-blocked by Conner. Conner then follows through with a quick punch that connects with Hero's head and follows up with a series of quick right-hands to the head.
TB: Both men showing almost equal prowess but Conner manages to use his speed to his advantage early on!
KK: Conner is capitalizing on the one opening he's got!
Conner knocks Hero back towards a turnbuckle with a series of right hands. As he works Hero towards the corner with another punch, Hero blocks with a hand and grabs hold of Conner. In a quick move, he sidesteps and pushes Conner towards the turnbuckle. Effectively switching places, Hero immediately follows through with a hard back-hand chop to the chest.. The audience lets out a loud, collective "Oooh" as the blow connects.
TB: The Real Hero manages to reverse the momentum and gains some of his own!
KK: He's hitting hard! The look on Kevin Conner's face says it all!
Conner reels from the chop and attempts to grab hold of the ropes for support. Hero re-positions Conner by pushing him back towards the turnbuckle and follows through with another hard chop. Conner reels again, his hands holding on to his chest which seems to be turning a shade of raw red. Hero pushes him back towards the turnbuckle and follows through with a hard chop. This time, Conner is doubled over, going down to the mat on one knee after being on the receiving end of Hero's final chop.
KK: He's taking the fight to Kevin Conner in a serious way! His chest just went red from that backhand!
TB: The Real Hero is proving that he means business!
Hero wastes no time in landing a forearm to Conner's head, getting him down on both knees. He picks him up into a Scoop Slam position and drops him down hard onto the mat. Hero goes down for the pin and the referee makes a count. 1..2..Kickout!
TB: Kevin Conner kicks out from the first pin attempt in the match!
KK: Hero went for an early pin there! He's trying to get as much as possible from his momentum!
The Real Hero picks Conner up and grapples him from behind. He drapes one of Conner's arms around his shoulder and lifts him up for an attempt at a back drop. Using the movement to his advantage, Conner flips himself backwards and lands on his feet. As Hero turns to face him, Conner connects with a swift kick to the gut and follows through with a swinging neckbreaker. Hero crashes down to the mat from Conner's successful manoeuvre. As Hero attempts to get on his feet, Conner bounces off the nearby ropes and floors him with an elbow drop. He then grabs Hero's arm, wrenches it and applies a scissor headlock to Hero's head with his legs. The referee, recognising it as a submission move, goes down to check on Hero.
TB: What a submission move by Kevin Conner! An arm-bar, scissor headlock! He's heaping a whole world of hurt on Hero now!
KK: Conner is definitely trying to wear him down! It could be all over if the pain is just too much!
Hero's face writhes in pain as Conner wrenches and tightens the submission hold. The audience seem to be cheering on as Conner relentlessly continues on. Some of the audience seem to be clapping in a steady pace, encouraging Hero to fight the submission hold. Although the headlock seems to be working on him, he still shakes his head and refuses to submit as the referee checks his condition. His free hand clenched into a fist, Hero grabs onto Conner's legs and with resolve in his eyes, attempts to pry the hold from his neck. At the same time his body his moving, struggling to get support from his feet. Gradually, he manages to turn slightly and lunges towards the ropes. Hero's hand just manages to get a hold of them before Conner could pull him away. The referee signals for Conner to break the hold. He releases the grip and gets back onto his feet while Hero attempts to raise himself with the help of his rope, breathing deep and fast after being released from the submission hold.
TB: The Real Hero manages to get to the ropes!
KK: From the look on his face, he was desperate to get out of that painful position!
Conner delivers a swift boot to Hero, knocking him back down to a knee. He continues stomping, preventing Hero from gaining his feet. After delivering a series of hard stomps, he pulls Hero up and sends him towards the ropes. As Hero bounces back, Conner leaps and delivers a dropkick to the head which sends Hero straight to the mat with authority.
KK: Conner isn't pulling any punches so far tonight!
TB: He wants to defend that title as much as The Real Hero wants it!
Conner goes down for the pin as quickly as he can as the referee counts. 1..2..Kickout! Both men look to get to their feet and Conner manages to pick himself up faster than Hero. Conner sizes him up intently as Hero gets up to his feet, still woozy as he struggles to steady himself. As Hero turns, Conner swoops in with a Superkick but Hero manages to grab hold of his leg. Hopping on one leg, Conner reacts quickly by leaping and connecting with the side of Hero's with an enziguri. The audience erupts into a roar.
TB: Quick manoeuvre by Kevin Conner, taking Hero down even after he missed the first attempt!
KK: Conner was literally thinking on his feet back there and it paid off!
The Real Hero collapses onto the mat after the blow. He lies motionless on the mat. Kevin Conner makes his way up the nearest turnbuckle as the cheers of the audience grow even louder still.
TB: Kevin Conner is going up for the high-risk!
KK: He might just be able to wrap this one up!
Looking down at Hero, Kevin Conner positions himself and attempts the Leap of Faith. But just as he leaps off the turnbuckle, Hero manages to roll aside, leaving Conner to splash onto the mat. The ring shakes upon impact and the pain is evident on Conner's face as reels in pain, clutching his mid-section.
TB: Looks like the gamble didn't pay off for the high-risk move!
KK: That's why it's called the Leap of Faith! You've got to have a whole lot of faith to try and pull off a move like that!
Hero manages to get up onto his feet. Looking down at Conner, he reaches down to pick him up. Managing to get Conner onto an upright position, he lifts him up into the air. The audience roars as he hold Conner up for a second and a half before dropping him down for a gutbuster. Conner rolls onto the mat and the expression on his face is one of pain as he writhes in agony.
KK: The Real Hero with a show of sheer strength and power! Now that's what I call gut-wrenching action!
TB: Even at his age, The Real Hero is proving that he can still hold his own against some of HWA's finest!
Hero pulls Conner back up to his feet and grapples him from behind. Placing one of Conner's arms around his shoulders, Hero lifts Conner up, holding him in position for more than a second with the audience coming to life once again at this show of strength. He then drops Conner for a backbreaker.
KK: It's back-breaking action as well! The Real Hero is powering his way through!
TB: The Real Hero seems to be back on form here tonight! He's got the upper hand and he's capitalizing on it!
Conner's body writhes again in pain, rolling over with a hand clutching his back. Hero pulls him back up to his feet once again. Grabbing hold of a hand, he swings Conner towards the ropes. As Conner bounces back, Hero attempts to strike him in the face with a boot but Conner manages to dodge just in time to avoid the impact. As Hero turns to face him, Conner superkicks Hero in the face which sends him over the ropes and he tumbles down the apron onto the floor outside the ring. Conner himself collapses onto the mat.
TB: Conner giving it everything he's got onto that superkick! Both men are now lying prone on the ground.
KK: That move took a lot out of Conner as well after what Hero put him through. It was a desperate move but he pulled it off!
The referee begins the 10 count. 1… both men are still lying on the ground.
KK: Although both men seem to be out for the time being, Conner clearly has the advantage here as he's still in the ring while Hero could be disqualified!
TB: There's still no signs of movement as the referee continues the count!
2… both men remain prone. The audience begins to chant along to the count. 3!... there are signs of movement stirring in both men. 4!... Conner begins to turn and find his feet while Hero attempts to grab the apron. 5!... Both men seem to be getting up on one knee. 6!... Hero tries to shake off the cobwebs as he leans against the apron, Conner is still trying to find both of his feet. 7!... Hero attempts to make a slow climb up onto the apron while Conner leans against the rope on the other side of the ring. 8!... Hero has a knee up on the apron while Conner is still leaning against the rope, his expression still woozy. 9!... Hero managed to get up onto the apron successfully. The referee stops the 10 count.
TB: The Real Hero manages to get himself out of being disqualified! Both men have found their feet!
KK: And neither are showing signs of letting up just yet!
As The Real Hero shakes his head to regain his composure, Conner suddenly comes to life and bounces himself off the ropes. Acting quick, he leaps onto the turnbuckle next to Hero and leaps onto Hero's shoulders. Both his legs in position on Hero's shoulder, he leans forward with his momentum and flips himself over and down Hero's back. Conner drives Hero head-first onto to the ground in a modified sunset-flip as the audience goes nuts. Roars and cheers echo through the arena as both men lie on the outside of the ring.
TB: KEVIN CONNER WITH A SHOCKER OF A MOVE!
KK: That is DEFINITELY one to remember and that one is DEFINITELY up for a replay! Kevin Conner taking The Real Hero down with him!
The referee looks out to find both men lying on the ground. He begins the 10 count. The audience chants along without hesitation
1
Both men remain lying on the ground. Hero twitches on the ground while Conner is out flat from the exertion and his share of the impact.
TB: This is a testament to the speed and skill of Kevin Conner!
KK: It's ingenuity and determination at it's best folks!
2
Both men remain on the ground. Hero's hand moves slowly to clutch his head, his eyes seem dazed on the camera. Conner seems no more aware than Hero is as his eyes seem to be looking nowhere.
3
The audience continues to count along with the referee. Conner rolls over to one side, clutching his back. Hero seems barely able to clutch his head, let alone move.
4
Hero seems to stir a little more with both hands clutching his head, obviously still reeling from the impact of the drop. Conner tries to push himself up by the elbows.
KK: It's turning out to be one hell of a match so far! Both wrestlers are giving it everything they've got!
TB: One is no less determined than the other, none of them are willing to give any ground!
5
Conner manages to get up on a knee. He staggers backwards onto the steps as he attempts to find his footing. Hero attempts to get a hold of the crowd barrier.
6
Some of the audience begin to clap in encouragement. Hero is pulling himself up slowly but the agony is evident in his facial expression, gritting his teeth. Conner continues to lean against the steps.
7
Hero still struggles to pull himself up, supporting himself on a knee and a hang grabbing on to the top of a barrier. Conner staggers around, trying to regain his bearings.
8
Conner staggers slowly towards Hero and grabs a hold of him, pulling him up and moving towards the ring apron.
9.
Conner pushes Hero back into the ring and climbs onto the apron. The referee stops the count.
KK: Looks like both men aren't finished with each other yet!
TB: They're as determined as ever!
Conner pulls back and slingshots himself over the ropes and landing on The Real Hero with a leg-drop. He makes a cover and the referee slides down to begin the count. 1..2..Kickout! The audience cheers on.
TB: The Real Hero still refusing to give after what he's been through!
KK: They are veterans in the HWA and tonight is their night to prove it!
Both men slowly get back onto their feet simultaneously. As both of them are staggering in the ring, Conner throws a punch at Hero, which sends him staggering back. Hero retaliates with a punch of his own that sends Conner staggering backwards. Conner replies with another punch that sends Hero staggering back. Hero comes back with a punch and both men start trading punches in similar fashion.
KK: It's a slugfest!
TB: Neither one coming out on top…
As Hero moves in to throw another punch, Conner blocks and knees Hero in the gut. Conner pushes Hero towards the ropes and sends him with an irish whip towards the opposite ropes. Conner runs across and leaps, catching Hero's shoulders with his legs and attempts a Hurracarana but Hero does not budge. Both of his arms are on Conner's hips, locking him in a powerbomb position.
TB: This one could be over!
Kevin brings both of his hands to the sides of Hero's head in a hard clap, causing Hero to release Conner. Back on his feet, he bounces himself against the ropes and runs back towards Hero but he is grabbed around the waist by Hero. Locking both his hands together around Conner, Hero turns and lifts, releasing Conner at the highest point and sending him sailing over the top rope in a gut-suplex. Conner lands face-first onto the crowd barricade, his hands bracing some of the impact but the pain still evident as he falls over backwards onto the floor, his face scrunched in an expression of hurt. The audience erupts again into loud cheers with the arena echoing their voices.
KK: DID YOU SEE THAT!?
TB: The Real Hero in a show of his strength! It has been a roller-coaster ride of a match so far ladies and gentlemen!
Hero slides out off the ring and staggers towards Conner who is lying spread-eagle on the ground. Picking him up, he irish whips Conner towards the crowd barrier, making a loud metallic thud on impact. Conner yells out in pain as he drops to his knees.
KK: It seems that Hero is laying down the hurt on Kevin Conner! He's not letting him off easy!
TB: With a title on the line, the intensity is evident between both men thus far! The determination and the will of both these veteran wrestlers have brought out the best in them!
Hero throws a punch towards Conner's head, sending him reeling backwards. He grabs a hold of Conner's head and bounces it off the top of the barrier. As Hero goes for a second attempt at slamming Conner's head against the barrier, Conner throws a left hand towards Hero's face, which sends him staggering backwards towards the apron. Grabbing hold of a hand, Conner positions himself, using his leg as a brace and his free hand around Hero's neck, he pulls him downwards and face-first towards the hard ground.
KK: THE SOUL SEARCHER!
TB: Kevin Conner deciding to capitalize on the opportunity with a Soul Searcher! Both men are on the ground!
Conner and Hero are both reeling from pain, their hands clutching pained body parts as the referee begins the 10 count. The match seems to have taken its toll on both men.
Conner just about manages to drape one arm over Hero. Hero coughts up a wad of blood as the referee counts 1-2-3.
KK: CONNER WINS!
TB: Conner retains his International Title here, and WHAT a match that was!
KK: The Real Hero was equally as awesome in that match, it really could have gone to either man in the end.
Loads of pyros go off all around the arena and the HWA-tron shows the pictures of Decado and Danny Starr on screen.
"FixXxer" by Metallica plays and out walks Danny Starr.
TB: Can Starr make this competition his own for the third consecutive time?
KK: He sure thinks so.
TB: This, whatever happens, is going to be one HELL of a match, thats certainly for sure.
Decado's music plays and the man himself arrives at the top of the ramp shortly thereafter. The volume of boos is almost scary.
KK: Oh my God! I don't think anyone has ever been so hate in the HWA as this man, Decado.
Decado flips off some nearby fans and then descends to the ring. He climbs inside and starts to warm up.
TB: Remember here folks that Danny Starr had a much tougher first round match. Will that work against him?
KK: Well surely he has to be much more tired.
Danny offers his hand to Decado. Decado looks at the hand, spits on his own, and then offers it with a smile.
TB: Talk about disrespect!
KK: Thats Decado all over though isn't it.
Starr doesn't shake the hand, and instead withdraws his own. He moves to his turnbuckle and has a moment a silence, mentally preparing himself instead.
The bell rings and Decado gets in a pre-emptive attack in on Danny Starr's back. Danny stumbles into the corner.
KK: Decado gets the unfair advantage. Starr was still going through his pre-match ritual.
TB: Actually, it could well have been a clever ploy by Decado to throw Starr's game plan.
KK: Well it certainly did that!
Starr is stooped in the corner. Decado stomps down on Starr from a standing position, using the ropes either side of him for extra leverage. Starr takes several blows to the head, chest and back, before managing to escape to the outside.
TB: Lucky for Starr there that he managed to escape from Decado, he was taking a battering there and was pretty well trapped.
Decado rolls out underneath the bottom rope and looks around towards Starr, but is met instead by a steel chair to the face, wielded by none other than Danny Starr himself. This time it's Starr's turn to smirk, and just as Decado is about to strike back, Danny Starr plants another hard chair shot on Decado. Decado falls back down the floor once more, a trickle of blood now running down his face.
TB: Decado is busted open already, we're barely three or four minutes into this match and already we have blood!
Danny Starr walks over to Decado and tries to put Decado into the Hall of Sensation. Decado though will not go down that easily and manages to reverse Danny's attempts at the submission and instead locks in an arm lock on him. Starr's arm is bent backward and the pain is obvious on his face. Starr manages to reach the bottom rope after about 30 seconds and Decado is forced to relinquish the hold. While Starr nurses his arm for brief seconds, Decado leaves the ring and heads out to the crowd. Instead of going into the crowd though, Decado grabs a hold of the crowd barrier. He manages to drag the barrier to the edge of the ring. He tries to lift it, and just as he gets it to chest height, he is met by Starr who, seeing the possibility, had leapt over the top rope and hit the barrier into the chest of Decado with a missile dropkick. The crowd start a holy shit chant.
TB: Oh my GOD! That barrier must weigh close to 200 pounds, and with the force of Starr's missile dropkick propelling it into Decado, the man could be DEAD!
KK: Thats gotta be the damnedest thing i have EVER seen!
TB: Decado's back could easily be broken right here.
KK: Starr also landed arkwardly, his leg buckling on impact of the steel barrier.
Both men are still in a heap on the floor. Referee Wallace Cunningham shrugs his shoulders and goes to check on the two men's conditions. Starr is clutching his ankle and grimacing in pain. Decado is out cold. Cunningham beckons for a stretcher from the back.
TB: I guess this will be for Decado.
KK: Well Starr's also in a great deal of pain too you know Trent.
TB: I think being unconscious is a little bit worse Keith.
The stretcher bearers manage to untangle Decado from the wreckage and they place him on the stretcher.They start to carry him up the ramp.
KK: Oh man, this is no good at all, this is not the way we would want this event to end.
TB: At the end of the day Keith, the health and safety of our superstars is far more important.
The stretcher bearers reach the top and Decado seems to regain his senses. He indicates for the stretcher bearers to stop. They refuse though and Decado is carried through to the back. The fans start to boo in protest, and Danny Starr starts to hobble his way up the ramp too.
KK: I'm not quite sure what is happening here to be quite honest, I'm going to go and see what I can find out.
Keith Kincaid leaves the broadcast position and follows Starr up the ramp.
After a few moments the HWA tron lights up and obviously a HWA cameraman has managed to fight his way backstage. We are in the parking lot and the stretcher guys are trying to transfer a now protesting Decado into a waiting Ambulance which already has it's emergency lights flashing. Danny Starr appears from one side of the picture and goes immediately over to Decado. He gets to the ambulance, and Decado lashes out at him.
TB: Wow, this is incredible, Decado STILL has fight in him!
The ambulance crew try to restrain Starr, but in doing so they allow Decado to push himself off the trolley and attempt to get to his feet.
KK: Trent, can you hear me?
TB: Just about Keith!
KK: Are you seeing this?
TB: We are indeed. Where are you?
KK: I'm just around the other side of the ambulance from the guy with the camera, thats why you can't see me! Jackson is here too!
DJ: (very quiet) hi Trent!
TB: Er, hi.
On the screen we see that Starr is now IN the ambulance and Decado is brawling with him.
KK: Look at this! I can't believe this shit! Decado and Starr are STILL fighting!
Starr and Decado are trading punches inside the ambulance, and now Jackson has managed to get the ambulance crew out of the way. Decado manages to give Starr a big clothesline and it actually knocks Starr out of the ambulance to the floor below. Starr makes a loud splat sound as his body connects with the concrete. Decado stands on the edge of the ambulance, and then without regard for his own wellbeing, launches himself off the edge and drops an elbow right onto the heart of Starr. Starr's body twitches uncontrollably. Decado seems to have regained some sense of compsoure now and he steps past Keith Kincaid and David Jackson and gets into the driver's seat in the ambulance.
TB: What the hell is Decado planning here?
Decado drives the ambulance forwards, before reversing it back and to the side. He then reverses the ambulance back up, nearly running over the camerman before revving the engine.
TB: Surely not, he's aiming that thing at Danny Starr!! Danny Starr's not even got to his feet yet!
Decado accelerates the ambulance and is heading right at Starr!
TB: NO! SOMEBODY STOP THIS!
KK: HE'S GOING TO KILL STARR!
The next few seconds go almost in slow motion. The cameraman zooms into Starr, who turns towards the ambulance, a look of sheer horror on his face as the ambulance approaches at speed. As the cameraman can't get into position quick enough to capture what happens next, all we see is the ambulance accelerate, we hear a thump, then the ambulance stops.
TB: MY FUCKING GOD, DANNY STARR IS DEAD.......
Several moments of silence ensue, the crowd absolutely stunned with what has happened.
TB: Keith, are you there?
Another few moments of silence.
KK: Er, yes, Trent. I don't believe what just happened
The cameraman has almost reached position and it's clear that Starr has been knocked down and run over as two legs are sticking out from underneath the ambulance.
TB: This is absolutely sick.
The camera reaches the site of the collision and what we see is not what we expected. David Jackson's limp body lies in front of the ambulance. Both of his legs crushed, and one arm in the opposite direction to what it should be. If Jackson is not dead, he is clearly never going to be able to walk again.
TB: What the hell? What the hell.... Jackson?? JACKSON?!
KK: Trent, you won't believe what just happened.
TB: Keith, What the hell is Jackson doing down there, what happened?
KK: Well I can't believe me eyes. The ambulance was aimed right at Danny Starr, and Jackson threw himself in front of the ambulance, he knocked Starr to the ground. The ambulance went right over Starr leaving him unhurt. Jackson got hit. I can't fucking believe this.
TB: Oh my God!
The ambulance crew get right to work on Jackson, but they clearly can't do much for him without fear of breaking his back. The cameraman instead switches view to the top of the ambulance, where Decado now stands, looking on.
TB: Decado.... On top of the ambulance!
KK: I almost forgot we have a match on here!
TB: Shit, is this still happening?!
Danny Starr checks on David Jackson, clearly concerned for his boss's welfare, regardless of the animosity between the two of them. Then, he slowly stands, looking up at Decado. Decado beckons for him to meet him up on top of the ambulance.
TB: What the hell? No way, this CANNOT be happening.
Danny Starr climbs up onto the front of the ambulance, and then finally heaves himself up to the top. Decado greets him with lefts and rights, Starr struggles, and tries hard to keep his footing. He does recover though and launches forward with a speer, both men collapsing onto the top of the ambulance.
KK: Are you still getting this back in the arena Trent?
TB: Yes, they're still fighting, on top of the ambulance.
KK: This is unreal.
The camera angle shifts and Jackson has been loaded into the back of the ambulance. The ambulance crew slam shut the doors and get into the front. Keith Kincaid sees what is happening, and turns toward the ambulance.
KK: NO!
TB: OH my God!
But it's too late. The ambulance crew were too busy with Jackson and failed to realise that Starr and Decado were on top of the ambulance. They start to drive out of the parking lot.
TB: Somebody stop the ambulance!
KK: WAIT!!!!!
The ambulance, syren on, accelerates out of the arena and out towards the road.
KK: My car, quick!
Keith grabs the cameraman and bundles him into Keith's car. Wallace Cunningham also jumps into the back. Keith backs his car out and starts to give chase to the ambulance.
TB: When is this going to end? This is getting crazy.
The view now switches to the front of Keith's car, looking through the windscreen. The ambulance is not in sight initially, but the siren can be heard in the distance.
KK: Fucking shit, get the fuck out of the fucking way!
TB: Keith, I know you can't hear me now, but you need to watch your language!
Wallace Cunningham laughs from in the back seat.
KK: Remind me, Wallace, why DID you come along?
WC: These guys are still in the middle of a match, and well, DAMN! I'm gonna make sure we get s result!
KK: But this thing is gonna end up in the middle of some highway somewhere! GET OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY ASSHOLE!
WC: But jeez Keith, Jackson already sacrificed himself for the good of this match. We owe it to him to see this thing through.
TB: Guys! David Jackson is IN the ambulance you're chasing! Dammit, you can't hear me can you....
The ambulance comes into view, and Keith floors the accelerator. The cameraman tries to zoom in on top of the ambulance which he does but the focus and the aim are both poor. Blood is pouring off Danny Starr's head.
KK: Looks like Decado has been doing a number on Starr while we've been gone. Here, watch this!
Keith sounds the horn and flashes the lights at the ambulance. The ambulance does not slow down.
KK: Shit, those goddam mother fuckers still haven't realised they got two extra passengers!
WC: Man, even if they did, they probably more worried about Jackson right now.
But the horn and the lights DID attract the attention of Danny Starr, who'se bloodied face peers gingerly over the edge of the ambulance, and realises who is following them.
KK: DANNY, GET THEM TO STOP!
TB: Keith, talk about the damn obvious! DAMMIT YOU NEED TO HEAR ME!
KK: Starr's head disappears and then the camera zooms in further. Starr grabs Decado by the head and plants it hard into the top of the ambulance. Decado is now also a bloody mess. Danny Starr re-angles himself behind Decado. He starts to shove Decado towards the edge.
TB: Oh no.
KK: OH my Fucking GOD!
Starr half throws, half shoves Decado off the edge of the speeding ambulance! Decado manages to get a hand on the rail which goes around the top of the ambulance. He is now precariously hanging off the back off the ambulance.
TB: This has gone WAY too far.
KK: What the hell do we do!?
Keith tries to get the car close to the back of the ambulance, perhaps thinking he could give Decado the option to jump on to their car. Decado sees the car behind them, glancing back. In that instant though, Danny Starr elbows the one hand of Decado's hanging onto the ambulance. Decado loses his grip and flies backward. He lands full pelt in the windscreen of Keith Kincaid's car. Kincaid, unable to see now, loses control of the car. The cameraman, still hanging out of the window manages to pick up a blur of movement. And by the thud sound we hear, it becomes apparent that Danny Starr had leapt off the ambulance and onto Decado's prone body, lying on the blistered windscreen.
TB: OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! NOW THAT HAS TO BE THE ABSOLUTELY MOST CRAZY FUCKING THING I EVER SAW!!! DANNY STARR JUST LEAPT FROM THE AMBULANCE AND ONTO KEITH'S SPINNING CAR, PUSHING DECADO EVER FURTHER THROUGH THE WINDSCREEN!
KK: HOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!
Keith's car spins to a halt. All that Keith can see is the splintered glass of his windscreen, all cracked to pieces, plus a HELL of a lot of blood too. Keith brings the car to a complete stop ,Wallace and Keith manage to get out of the car,the cameraman shortly afterwards. They survey the scene, standing in the middle of the street. Decado has taken some serious punishment. His body caused the entire windscreen to collapse pretty much. Danny Starr is in no better condition, though he obviously drove Decado further into the windscreen, causing much more pain, but is on top. Wallace Cunningham slaps his hand three times on the car's roof.
KK: What the hell are you doing?!
WC: Danny Starr just won the match! He's on top! He pins, he wins!
KK: The match can't end like this!!
WC: Are you gonna stand there and tell me they're gonna want to carry on after THIS!?
We return to the arena, where Trent Brown is standing in the centre of the ring. The crowd are on their feet, giving both men a standing ovation - not that they can hear it of course.
TB: Ladies and Gentlemen. We promised you a historic night. I don't think a single person in this arena can believe what we witnessed this evening. I take my hat off to both Danny Starr AND Decado. I also tip my hat to David Jackson who saved the life of Danny Starr. For what reason? I don't know. We many never know now. Folks what a night. Please give it up for the 2005 Last Man Standing - Danny Starr! He has become the only man to win Last Man Standing not only twice, but now THREE TIMES! In the history of this event there has never been a man dominate it like Danny Starr. Like him or hate him LMS is what he gets up for.
(Danny Starr is celebrating on the screen as LMS is getting ready to go off air when suddenly the lights go out again. Blue and red strobes start flashing as thecountdown clock comes up to the screen again.)
00:00:09
00:00:08
00:00:07
00:00:06
00:00:05 TB: I'd forgotten about this countdown! Its finally time to find out who this is.
00:00:04
00:00:03
00:00:02
00:00:01
00:00:00
(The screen them goes completely black. Bright red words start flashing across the screen.)
NOW IS MY TIME
(Just then "November Rain" by Guns 'N' Roses starts blaring and everyone in the arena knows what that means. Starr jerks his head up to look down the entrance ramp and he knows that song very well. White pyro starts blasting all over the place making the actual wreslters entrance disappear. the pyro subsides and a man 7'1 and around 340 lbs is left standing there. The arena is deafening as everyone knows the HWA Hall of Famer standing there.)
TB: OH MY GOD IT'S JUDGE! JUDGE IS BACK THERE'S NO WAY THIS CAN BE REAL.
(Judge produces a microphone from the inside of his leather trenchcoat as the crowd goes into a hush waiting.)
Judge: You know something HWA? I have seen this day in my dreams, for two years I have dreamed of this exact moment. I have to be honest for a while I didn't think it was gonna happen, but here I am BABY.
(The crowd goes absolutely nuts. Danny Starr is still celebrating on the screen, quite unaware as to what is happening back in the ring.)
Judge: Danny you can relax. I didn't come here for you. You just happen to be the man in the HWA right now, but honestly we have had our battles and I have more respect for you then anyone other then TCO. But it seems fitting doesn't it, I mean you ended my career so it only seems fair that I get the chance to ruin your triumphant night by making the biggest return in wrestling history. Really Danny we have had our nights, I'm not looking to reopen our files as that part of my life is over, this is a new day in the HWA. This is my day. HWA you have just been put on notice, the king is back, and I won't stop, I won't sleep, I won't be happy until I have climbed the ladder back to where i rightfully belonged all along.
(With that "November Rain" hits again and the Judge just stares down towards the ring he has missed for over two years with the arena almost completely deafening, enough that Trent has to yell to be heard.)
TB: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WHAT A NIGHT, WHAT A LAST MAN STANDING, JOIN US NEXT WEEK ON SURVIVAL. FOR KEITH KINCAID, I'M TRENT BROWN GOODNIGHT.
OOC: Thanks to all who submitted angles and interviews for this card. Thanks also to The Real Hero, and Ryan (Sett/eXiled) who contributed matches. The next SNS will be on Decemeber 4th - I am taking a week off from HWA as I'm burnt out from match writing at the moment. I will post the new card shortly, and you'll have just under two weeks to RP for it. Remember, those who RP well and consistently can expect to be pushed up the card. Neil
