Sunday, April 13th, 2003
The show starts up and we are inside the raucous sold out Carrier Dome. The 2003 national championship banner is seen. Suddenly the crowd goes absolutely nuts as none other than Final Four MOP Carmelo Anthony walks out and comes to the ring. He tries to say something but the crowd is way too loud chanting “ONE MORE YEAR” He just laughes and says “naw”. Finally things calm down.
Carmelo: One more year? I thought college lasted four years?
He just laughes as things get too loud once again. Suddenly though “One Armed Scissor” hits and the crowd boos now as Grimjack starts walking out. He gets in the ring and things get quiet as people don’t know what will happen. A chant of “ASSHOLE” is going on but Grimjack waves to calm the crowd.
Grimjack: I understand why you people hate me. I’ve done some bad things that I’m not proud of but I would do it all again to be right beside the greatest man to ever live in MY HOME TOWN SYRACUSE!!!
The fans start cheering at this and a chant of “ONE MORE YEAR” starts again. Grimjack puts his hand out and Carmelo shakes it as the crowd goes even more nuts. Carmelo gets the mic.
Carmelo: Thanks for bringing the HWA to my school Grim.
Grimjack: Well it’s only fitting that the greatest basketball player from Syracuse share the ring with the greatest wrestler from Syracuse. The honor is all mine. A lot of people don’t realize that you and me are boys. Anyways, we have a very special announcement for the greatest fans in the world tonight. Why don’t you let them know ‘Melo.
Carmelo: Tonight in the main event, Diamond versus Conner for the HWA title . . . the special guest referee will be . . . me!!!
The crowd is going absolutely insane as “One Shining Moment” hits and high lites of the Syracuse Basketball season are shown on the HWAtron as Grimjack and Carmelo Anthony walk to the back. Trent Brown and Keith Kincaid are seen at ringside.
KK: For once Grimjack is getting cheered and rightfully so Trent.
TB: I’m pretty sure that is only because of Carmelo Anthony who is loved in these parts. But it is surprising that Grimjack gets cheered. The dome is pretty electric tonight Keith can you feel it? This will be a night to remember. Despite HWA’s financial troubles as of late I think things are on the upturn starting with tonight as we return to stadiums! Get ready for Survival folks!
Commercial.
TB: I’ve been given word that Billy Styles and Michael Harding are both fired, so I guess we won’t need to see their contract match.
KK: They were hardly HWA material. But it doesn’t matter. Tonight is gonna be unbelievable folks... As we see---
Keith is cut off by the sound of "Soldier" by Eminem...
KK: HEY! What the Hell?!
TB: Thats Fudge's music
The camera shoots towards the entrance way as Fudge comes walking from the back with a microphone in his hand and a chair under his arm. FUdge storms towards the ring and throws the chair in and then slides in and picks it up, then sets it up...
TB: What is he doing?
KK: Sitting down you dumbass
TB: I can see that, but why?
Fudge sits in the chair and raises the microphone to his lips as he sits facing the entrance way...
Fudge: Cut my fuckin' music!!
Fudges music stops as he sits with anger in his eyes...
Fudge: Okay, so by now you all know that at Atmosphere, I am fighting Michael Diamond... My best friend... Your World Champion... Your Hero... However you say his name, whatever you think of him. Now by now you should also know that I dont want to Fight Michael Diamond...
The cheers reign through out the audience as Diamonds name is mentioned...
Fudge: Grimjacks smart ass... And thats the appropriate way to say it, has decided to book the Match of two thousand and three ALL OVER AGAIN! He has decided upon Fudge Diamond TWO!
The fans scream in anticipation...
Fudge: It aint happenin'...
The fans boo as Fudge rejects what coulld be the best match they ever see...
KK: What does he mean "It aint happenin"?
Fudge: I refuse to fight my best friend for the SECOND time in three months! World Title or No World Title!
As Fudge says that Grimjack comes storming from the back and stands at the top of the entrance way..
Grimjack: Woah, Woah, Woah. What do you mean? YOU REFUSE?! Who calls the shots around here? ME! Who makes the matches around here? ME!
Fudge: Who wrestles the matches around here? ME! Who puts the asses in the seats? ME!
The fans roar as Fudge fights off everything Grimjack is saying...
Fudge: Now Grim, I aint moving from this ring until you call that match off! I will sit here all damn night if I have to!
Grimjack: Fudge, that match is on... LIKE IT OR NOT! If you dont let this show start I will call out the police from the back and they will remove you for me...
Fudge: THE POLICE?! I dont care about the Police.. I care that you take that match OFF the Atmosphere card!
Grimjack shrugs his shoulders and then waves his hand calling The Police out from the back...
The Police step from the back and stand behind Grimjack, as we realise his idea of The Police is the Legacy Department...
Fudge stands up and while folding his chair speaks...
Fudge: (Laughing Slightly) Oh you mean your bitches?!
TB: HE HAS A DEATH WISH!
KK: Its Fudge, its not hard to see!
Grimjack: Well before I send my "Bitches" down to kick you ass, and remove you from MY ring... I am gonna give you one more chance to change your mind and co-operate...
Fudge smiles and drops the microphone...
TB: Oh No... What is he doing..
Grimjack: So be it Fudge...
The Legacy Department begin to walk to the ring as Fudge holds the chair ready to start swinging...
TB: Please tell me that when they hit the ring he is gonna run
KK: I dont think so, Trent
The Legacy Department freeze as they get to the ring, as Grimjack calls them back...
Grimjack: Fudge you have this one chance to say yes, after that they are coming to that ring...
Fudge reaches down and grabs his microphone...
Fudge: Nothing you say will convince me... So who wants their skull cracked first?
Grimjack: Wait Fudge, hear me out...
Fudge: Hurry your ass up... I wanna crack some skulls...
Fudge sadistically smiles over at the Legacy Department...
Grimjack: Diamond fucked Lauren...
The crowd boos as Fudge drops the chair in shock...
Fudge: He... No... He wouldnt do that to me..
Grimjack: He did already, man
TB: Why would Grimjack do that?! Thats gotta be crushing Fudges heart with a large object right now!
KK: I think he wants that tention to build so that Fudge and Michael are gonna head to Atmosphere with hate boiling through their blood stream...
Grimjack: So what do you say Fudge?
Fudge: ....................
Just then... "Points of Authority (Remix)" by Linkin Park hits the loud speakers as the fans go crazy. The HWA World Champion emerges from the back and stops at the top of the rampway and glares over at Commissioner Grimjack who merely smiles back at him. Michael slowly tears his attention away from Grimjack and walks down the rampway as Fudge looks over at him...
Grimjack: Let him through
Diamond hops up onto the ring apron and stares down Fudge as the tension begins to mount, neither man taking their eyes off the other. Michael's music cuts off as chants of both "Diamond" and "Fudge" rise up from the crowd. Michael looks off to one side of the crowd and then over to the other, a bit shocked at the type of reaction that is being given
TB: The crowd torn between Michael Diamond and Fudge, two of the most popular HWA superstars
KK: You got that right Trent, but I think Michael Diamond is a bit surprised that the crowd isn't 100% behind him here
Michael slips through the ring and looks back at Fudge. He slowly walks by him and over to the other side of the ring ropes where Erin Wallace hands him a mic. Michael turns back to Fudge to see him looking back at him. Michael re-positions the title up on his shoulder as he looks out into the crowd again as the chants grow louder. Michael looks over at Fudge as the crowd quiets down a little so that he can speak to him
Michael Diamond: Fudge... you know me man. I mean, I'm your best friend dude, I would NEVER do anything to hurt you...
Fudge: Just stop right there Diamond, is it true?
Michael lowered the mic as he looked out at the crowd again. Fudge kept his eyes locked on Michael as Grimjack stood proudly on the top of the rampway with the Legacy Department right infront of the ring, enjoying every second of this
Fudge: Did you sleep with her!?
Michael looked back at Fudge as Fudge stepped right up to Michael and the two were inches from each other
Fudge: Answer the fucking question Michael... did you sleep with Lauren!?
Michael lowered his head as Fudge glared at him
Fudge: Look at me when I'm talking to you!
Michael raised his head again and stared Fudge dead in the eyes as he raised his mic to his mouth
Michael Diamond: Yeah Fudge, I slept with her
The crowd went crazy as Fudge lowered his head and walked away from the World Champion, pacing back and forth in front of him
Michael Diamond: Believe me Fudge, I didn't plan on things turning out this way...
Fudge: Shut up
Michael Diamond: Fudge...
Fudge: I said shut the fuck up!
Fudge stopped pacing and got right back in Michael's face as the crowd was on edge, watching everything that was transpiring between the two
Fudge: I've only got two words for you Michael... FUDGE U!
Michael's eyes grew wide as Fudge swept Michael's left leg out from underneath him and then leaped into the air, driving his right foot right into Michael's head and connecting on the Fudge U!
TB: Fudge U! Fudge U! Fudge just hit the Fudge U on his best friend and things have exploded here!
The crowd was torn between the two athletes as some booed Fudge's actions while others cheered. Fudge glared down at Michael as Michael lay lifeless on the mat, his eyes closed as it was quite possible that he could be unconscious. Fudge then leaned over Michael and picked up the HWA World Championship that had fallen off of Michael when he had been hit with the Fudge U. Fudge glared at the World Championship and then down at his friend
TB: Well now what the hell is Fudge doing here!?
Fudge looked out at the crowd as he set the World Championship down upon his very shoulder as the fans now booed his actions. Fudge merely ignored them and looked down at Michael with a smirk on his face. He then turned around and began to walk out of the ring as the fans began to chant "Give It Back." Fudge stopped and looked out at the crowd as the chants grew louder and louder
TB: These fans all over Fudge right now as he certainly hasn't won over any people with his actions here tonight
KK: What are you talking about Trent!? Michael slept with his girl!
TB: When I last checked, Fudge and Lauren weren't technically together
Fudge turned and looked over at Michael as he began to stir. Fudge's gaze then went over to the HWA World Title which he longed for. Taking it off of his shoulder, Fudge walked back over to Michael and drapped it down upon his chest as Michael's eyes fluttered open and looked up at his friend. Fudge then leaned over Michael, lifting the mic to his mouth
Fudge: I'll see you at Atmosphere, Champ!
Fudge then dropped the mic and turned around as Michael sat up on the mat, putting a hand to his head as his other hand wrapped around the World Championship. Fudge slipped out of the ropes and walked up the rampway as Michael looked down at his World Title and then looked up at Fudge. Half-way up the rampway, Fudge stopped and turned around, looking back at Michael as Michael clutched the HWA World Championship close to his chest and looked back up at Fudge
TB: It's on folks! At HWA Atmosphere, we will, indeed, see Michael Diamond/Fudge II for the HWA World Championship!
KK: There's no doubt Michael has had a successful run as Champ but could his days at the top of the mountain be numbered?
TB: Well before Michael can even worry about Fudge, he's got to get past Kevin Conner tonight! Don't go anywhere folks, this show is just beginning!
Fudge leaves the ring as the entire Legacy Department cheer him on, trying to win him over... Fudge then turns around and slides back into the ring grabbing his chair he manouvres himself back out, and walks through the Legacy Department who applaud his actions...
TB: They're kissing his ass!
Grimjack: Wise choice Fudge... Wise choice indeed
Fudge walks up the ramp as he reaches Grim, who puts a hand on his shoulder, but Fudge looks up at him...
Fudge: Get your hands off me
Grimjack takes his hand off Fudges shoulder and hands him the microphone as Fudge says he wants to speak...
Fudge: Oh you fans... You dont like what I did? Then see how you like this...
Fudge turns and faces Grimjack, extending his hand for him...
TB: Please God, no!
Grimjack smiles extaticly and extends his hand back to Fudge as he shakes it and looks down at the Legacy Department, just then Fudge raises the microphone...
Fudge: Oh and Grim one final thing...
Grimjack: Anything... ANYTHING!
Fudge looks down at the Legacy Department...
And back at Grimjack now...
Fudge: FUDGE U!!
With cat like agility Fudge leaps and spins in mid air catching Grimjack with teh FUdge U, he then jumps back to his feet and raises the chair and faces the Legacy Department ready to fight...
TB: The Legacy Department wont go near Fudge with that Chair in his hands..
KK: And he knows it!
Fudge grins down at the Legacy Department and then turns, walking away from them and to the back...
TB: You better believe they will be looking for payback tonight!
Commercial Break.
(We see Syxx already standing in the ring as he awaits his opponants then Dan Sawyers music hits has he makes his way to the ring. As Sawyer climbs into the ring Syxx begins to punch him in the back but Sawyer stands up and starts to hit Syxx with thunderous right hooks.)
TB: This match has already begun and it is a fatal 4 way for the number one contendership to the X-Treme title.
KK: This is going to be great.
(As Syxx and Sawyer battle in the ring "Remember Me" by Hoobastank begins to play and the fans boo as Jason Mysterio makes his way to the ring and begins to attack both men. Sawyer retaliates and lays Mysterio out with a snap powerbomb then he delivers a hellatious clothsline to Syxx.)
TB: It seems that Sawyer is on fire.
(Sawyer goes for the cover on Mysterio and as he hooks the leg "Faint" by Linkin Park begins to fill the arena and every man in the arena stands up and grabs their cameras and cheers their head off.)
KK: Oh no, here comes Syren.
TB: She's the forth competitor in this match up.
(Syren Climbs into the ring and Sawyer swings at her but she ducks and hits Sawyer with a hard elbow shot to the gut and Sawyer falls to the ground. Syren grabs Syxx and hits him with the From Dusk Til Dwan and then and rolls him out of the ring as he clinches his back in pain. Mysterio gets up and charges Syren but she kicks him in the face with a spinning roundhouse kick. Sawyer then gabs Syren from be hind and goes for a german suplex but she spins around him and hits him with a german suplex. Sawyer rolls out of the ring holding the back of his head and Syxx tries to charge Syren again, as if he didn't learn the first time, and she catches him in the From Dusk Til Dawn. Syren then climbs up on the top rope and hit a moonsault.)
TB: She calls that move Song of the Syren.
(Syren makes the cover on Syxx. 1...2...3. and the ref calls for the bell.)
TB: We have a new number one contender for the X-Treme champion ship.
KK: Man she just kicked their asses.
*The scene opens up inside President TCO's office as the crowd cheers loudly for the popular HWA superstar. TCO is sitting at his desk, his elbows propped up against and his hands folded in front of him as he is, obviously, lost deep in thought. The door suddenly bursts open and in walks the HWA World Champion, Michael Diamond. The crowd cheers even louder upon seeing this man as he walks up to the front of TCO's desk, the HWA World Championship belt wrapped tightly around his waist. TCO gazes up at Michael as Michael stands before him, a not-so-happy look on his face.*
TCO: Can I help you?
Michael Diamond: Did you just see what happened out there?
TCO: Yeah, I saw it.
Michael Diamond: Tell me... for the love of God... PLEASE tell me there is something you can do about this.
TCO: It's out of my hands Michael, I'm sorry. Grimjack found a loop hole...
Michael Diamond: I don't give a shit about Grimjack or his fucking loop holes!
*The crowd cheered loudly as Michael placed his hands on the desk and leaned in towards TCO.*
Michael Diamond: First... Grimjack books me in a re-match with Kevin Conner. Now I got no problem beating Conner's ass again... hell, I actually enjoy it. But then I find out that it's a Lumberjack match. Okay, Lumberjack match, I'm fine with that. But then... I found out that the Lumberjacks conists of the entire Legacy Department.
*The crowd boos as Michael and TCO maintain their gaze upon one another.*
Michael Diamond: Now Lord knows... I have tried to remain out of this little war between the Legacy Department and your Aftermath but it's like I'm in quicksand TCO. The harder I fight it, the more I get pulled in. So now... now, not only do I have to worry about beating Conner for the second straight week, I have to worry about the Legacy Department screwing me out of my World Title.
TCO: I don't know what you want me to do...
Michael Diamond: What I want, TCO, is for you to use your little presidential powers and change this match to a, straight up, one-on-one contest.
TCO: I'm sorry Diamond... I can't.
*Michael takes a deep breath and lowers his head as the fans boo at the helpless of the situation. Michael then lifts his head and looks back at TCO.*
Michael Diamond: Then please tell me you have the power to cancel this match between Fudge and I at Atmosphere.
TCO: I'm sorry Diamond, my hands are tied.
*Michael banged down on the desk hard as he backed away and began to pace back and forth*
Michael Diamond: Damn it TCO, Grim is making my life a living hell!
TCO: Yeah... well wecome to my world.
*Michael stopped pacing and looked over at TCO.*
TCO: I think it's time you consider fighting back.
Michael Diamond: No, alright... I'm not getting tangled up in this, I REFUSE to be apart of this war for domination!
TCO: Look around you Diamond, you're already apart of it.
Michael Diamond: Grimjack can book me in matches and he can turn my best friend against me but he can't make me play this game.
*Michael walked away from TCO and got to the door, opening it. But before walking out, he turned around and looked back at TCO.*
Michael Diamond: I'm... uh... I'm sorry about Sett and Morgoth. I was really looking forward to defending my title against one of them.
*Michael lowers his head and walks out of TCO's office as the door closes. The scene quickly changes to the hallway as Michael walks down the hall with his head down. Turning the corner, he comes to a halt as he appeared to bump into something. The camera quickly rotates to see the back of Michael as, in front of him, is HWA newcomer Syren. The fans cheer loudly at the sight of this young, stunning woman as she stands there in shock.*
Michael Diamond: You alright?
Syren: Huh?
Michael Diamond: Are... you... alright?
Syren: Um... oh... yeah, I'm fine. You're... um... Michael Diamond... aren't you?
Michael Diamond: That's right, and your name is...?
Syren: Syren... my name's Syren!
Michael Diamond: Well nice to meet you Syren.
*Michael extends his hand as Syren does the same and the two shake hands. Syren's eyes gazes over Michael Diamond's body, checking out his massive physique. Michael merely smiles at this as he is used to this sort of attention from his female fan base.*
Michael Diamond: See something you like?
*The two pull their hands away from each other as Syren's eyes float down Michael's body. Her eyes then grow wide as she looks down at the lower part of Michael's torso.*
Syren: Wow! That's h-huge!
Michael Diamond: Yeah, it is... you want to touch it?
*Syren looked back up at Michael as the fans were going crazy at this point.*
KK: Did Michael just say what I think he said!?
*Syren's gaze went down Michael's body as she stepped forward and began to stroke it.*
Syren: It's so... beautiful.
Michael Diamond: Thanks, I try and take good care of. My butler, Martin, polishes it whenever he has a spare second.
*The fans were absolutely livid and laughing their asses off as they were unable to see what, exactly, Syren was touching as the camera was still positioned behind Michael. The only thing they could tell for sure was that Syren was touching something.*
KK: Did he just say that his butler polishes his... ya know?
TB: I have no idea what's going on Keith.
Syren: Could I get a... um... closer look?
Michael Diamond: Sure, why not.
*The fans began going crazy as they saw Syren get down on one knee right before Michael.*
KK: Hey! Is she... um... ya know... um... giving Michael... um...
TB: Settle down Keith!
*Keith began breathing into a bag as the camera finally rotated around to see that Syren was kneeling admiring Michael's... Championship. Syren got up off her knee as Michael looked over at her.*
KK: I thought she was... ya know... down there... doing... ya know... that stuff...
TB: We all did Keith, we all did.
Michael Diamond: Well Syren, I don't want to keep you from your match. But on behalf of all the superstars and the fans, welcome to the HWA.
*Michael smiled over at Syren and then walked past her as Syren stood there in shock, unable to believe that she had just met THE World Champion. As if forgetting something, Michael spun around and walked over to Syren.*
Michael Diamond: Oh, one last thing...
*Michael spun Syren around and placed his lips over hers as the two embraced in a passionate kiss while the HWA crowd went crazy at this display of affection. Michael then pulled away from the kiss and smiled over at Syren as she stood there in shock and out of breath.*
Michael Diamond: Good luck with your match tonight.
*The World Champion then turned around and walked off as Syren watched Michael disappear out of sight, a smile on her face.*
TB: I hear that the Title of the Damned match has been cancelled for tonight but now it is time for the most exciting division, Xitreme rules.
TB: Here we go folks, this should definetly be a great match-up between two young and upcoming superstars in the HWA!
"Sugar" by System of a Down hits as the fans rise up out of their seats as the challenger for the X-Treme Championship, Mental Mark, emerges from the back of the rampway with Mr. Bear in hand. The fans cheer loudly as Mark walks down the rampway, holding Mr. Bear close to him as he looks out at all the fans.
TB: The fans in Syracuse love Mental Mark!
KK: Don't know why Trent, this guy is... well... mental.
Mark rolls into the ring and walks over to a nearby turnbuckle and places Mr. Bear down against it. Mark then kneels down and appears to discuss strategy with his teddy bear as Mark's music cuts off and "Trapt" by Headstrong hits the loud speakers. The fans boo loudly as the X-Treme Champion, Brian Carter, shoots out from out of the top of the rampway. Brian looks out at all the fans and shakes his head as he walks down it, the X-Treme Title around his waist.
TB: Well this is a surprise, Brian Carter is coming out to face Mental Mark and, it appears, none of his Legacy Department members are here to back him up.
KK: That's because this is match is a walk in the park for our X-Treme Champion Trent, look for Brian to end this one early.
Brian slides into the ring and unstraps the title from around his waist and holds it up high in the air as the fans boo again.
KK: I don't understand these people in Syracuse, how can they boo someone like Brian Carter and cheer someone like Mental Mark?
TB: Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Carter was handed the X-Treme Title by Morgoth.
KK: Don't even try and tell me that he hasn't earned that title Trent! His matches with C4 were classics.
TB: Well, no argument here.
Brian hands his title over to Wallace Cunningham and then looks over at Mental Mark who is still talking to his bear. Brian shakes his head and begins to laugh as Mark hears this and turns around. Seeing the X-Treme Champion laughing at him, Mark gets an angry expression across his face and stands up. Without warning, Mark charged at Brian, knocking the Champion down to the mat with a vicious Clothesline!
KK: Hey! No fair! This match hasn't even begun yet!
Seeing this, Wallace ordered the bell be rung as Mark pulled Brian up to his feet. Grabbing Brian's hand, Mark irish whipped him into the ropes. Bouncing off, Brian ran back into Mark who lifted him up onto his shoulders and then fell backwards, dropping Brian on his back with a Samoan Drop. Mark looked to capitalize early as he made the cover on Brian and hooked the leg.
TB: A devastating Samoan Drop on the X-Treme Champion and this could be it right here!
Wallace got down and made the count, one... kickout!
KK: It's going to take much more than that to put away Brian Carter, Trent!
Mark quickly got to his feet and looked over at Mr. Bear and gave him the thumbs up. Mark then turned his attention back to Brian Carter and stalked behind him as the X-Treme Champion stumbled to his feet. Turning around, Brian walked right into the arms of Mark as Mark lifted him into the air and slammed him down with a Bearhug Slam!
TB: A powerful Bearhug Slam by Mark there, driving the air out of Brian Carter.
Brian lay on the mat, writhing in pain as Mark got to his feet and looked over at Mr. Bear. Apparently receiving orders from Mr. Bear, Mark walked over to the turnbuckle and then stepped out onto the apron. Climbing up onto the top rope, Mark perched himself up there as Brian slowly began to get to his feet.
TB: What on earth is Mark doing now!?
KK: Looks like he's going to fly Trent, don't ask me why though.
Brian got to his feet and turned around as Mark leaped off, looking for a Double Axehandle Smash but Brian leapt up into the air and connected on a Dropkick to Mark's chest as he was coming down. The blow stunned Mark but not enough to take the big man off his feet as he stumbled backwards.
TB: Mark going for a high risk move there but was met by a Dropkick from Brian Carter!
KK: That's teach that mental freak for going top rope!
Brian quickly gets back to his feet and sees Mark dazed. Brian then runs at Mark and leaps into the air, wrapping his legs around Mark's waist. Brian then pushes off the mat, flies into the air, wraps his hands around Mark's head, and drops the big man face-first down to the mat!
TB: A Wheelbarrow into Bulldog by Brian Carter and what an athletic move there!
KK: That's why he's the X-Treme Champion, Trent.
Brian makes the cover as Wallace gets down and initiates the count. One... Two... Kickout!
TB: Mark JUST managing to get the shoulder up!
Brian shakes his head in disbelief as he gets up to his feet and walks over to the apron. Slipping through the ropes, Brian stands on the apron as he taunts Mark to get up. Having landed on his face, Mark stumbles to his feet, shaking his head as he tries to shake the cobwebs loose. Mark turns around as Brian leaps up onto the top rope, springboards off, flips over Mark, grabbing Mark's head and dropping the big man down onto the back of his head!
TB: A Springboard Blockbuster by Brian Carter and the X-Treme Champion has exploded here!
Brian quickly crawls on top of Mark as the Wallace gets down and counts the pin. One... Two... Kickout!
TB: And, again, Mark JUST manages to get the shoulder up!
Brian shakes his head in disbelief again as Mark quickly rolls off his back and crawls over to the ropes. He leans against the second rope as he begins talking strategy with Mr. Bear as Brian gets to his feet and sees the predicament that Mark is in.
KK: Is he strategizing with his teddy bear!?
TB: Lay off Keith, the guy was in a mental ward.
KK: I wonder why Trent.
Brian runs off the opposite ropes and charges at Mark. Brian then slides along the second rope, driving his feet into Mark's head and sending Mark rolling back off the ropes!
TB: A 619-type move there by Brian Carter and the end may be near for the challenger!
KK: What are you talking about Trent, this match was over the moment it started. I don't care how big you are, no one can beat Brian Carter... and he's proven that time and time again.
Brian stood tall on the apron as Mark slowly stumbled to his feet, holding Mr. Bear in his hands. Brian leaps up onto the top rope and springboards off, looking for a Hurricanranna but Mark side-steps and drives Mr. Bear right into Brian's gut, flipping him over and sending him down onto his back!
TB: A Mr. Bear shot to the gut of the X-Treme Champion and he is down!
KK: Hey! He hit him with his teddy bear! That should be a DQ!
TB: It's an X-Treme Title match Keith, remember? There is no DQ!
KK: Still! He hit him with with that... that... THING!
Mark gives Mr. Bear a high five and then sets him down as he pulls Brian up, who is painfully clutching at his ribs.
TB: Brian could have a few broken ribs there following that shot by the steel pipe which is concealed inside Mr. Bear.
Mark lifed Brian up onto his shoulder and calmly walked over to the ropes. He then lifted Brian up into the air and hung him up on the top rope with a Snake Eyes! Mark then ran and bounced off the opposite ropes as Brian stumbled around, holding his throat. Brian turned and was met with a vicious Big Boot by Mark that nearly took his head off!
TB: What a Big Boot by Mental Mark as he nearly decapitated the X-Treme Champion there!
Mark falls down and covers the Champion as Wallace gets down and makes the count. One... Two... Thr-Kickout!
TB: A half-second away from having a new X-Treme Champion as Brian JUST managed to shoot that shoulder up off the canvas!
KK: That was too close for comfort Trent!
Mark gets to his feet and pulls Brian up as Brian is shaking his head and clutching his ribs. Mark stands behind Brian and pulls one of his arms through his legs. Mark then flips Brian up onto his shoulder, setting him up for a Pumphandle Slam but Brian wiggles free of Mark's grasp and lands behind him. Mark turned around as Brian ran towards the ropes and leapt up onto the second rope. He then springboarded off, flying back at Mark with a Cross Body but Mark caught him in mid-air and held him still.
TB: Counter after counter as Brian countered the Pumphandle Slam and went for a Cross Body only for Mark to counter that!
KK: And now Brian is in a bad way Trent!
Mark fell backwards, slamming Brian down with a Fallaway Slam as Brian lay on the mat, grabbing at the back of his head which seemed to bounce off the mat. Mark crawls over to Brian and hooks the leg as Wallace gets down and makes the count. One... Two... Kickout!
TB: And, again, Brian managing to kick out, despite that Fallaway Slam which seemed to land him right on the back of his head.
KK: Stop the match, Brian could have a concussion! Stop the match!
Mark pulls Brian up and lifts him into the air for a Suplex. Keeping him suspended in air, Mark walks over to a nearby turnbuckle and crotches Brian up on the top rope. Mark then steps up onto the bottom rope and begins to climb up to the top as well.
TB: Looks like Mark is going to try another high risk move here.
Realizing he was in trouble, Brian lifted his foot up in-between Mark's legs, hitting a Low Blow as the crowd booed loudly.
TB: A cheap shot by Brian there and the fans letting him know what they think about that!
KK: Hey, no DQ baby, Brian can do whatever he wants!
Mark drops off the ropes as he stands next to the turnbuckle, hunched over in pain. Brian re-positions himself up on the turnbuckle and then grabs Mark's head and pulls it into him. Brian then twists off, dropping Mark face-first onto the mat with a Tornado DDT!
TB: A Tornado DDT on Mental Mark and this could do it for the challenger!
Both men lay exhausted on the mat as Wallace initiated the ten count. One... Two... Three... Four... Brian begins to stir... Five... Six... Seven... Brian crawls over to Mark and drapes an arm across him as Cunninham gets down and makes the count. One... Two... Thr-Kickout!
TB: Mark kicked out! Mark kicked out! Even after being dropped on his head, he kicked out!
Brian gets to his feet and taunts for Mark to get up as Mark slowly rises to his feet. Getting to knee, Brian runs at Mark and leaps up onto Mark's knee and then kicks him right in the side of the head, dropping Mark down to the mat with the Extreme!
TB: Extreme! Extreme! Brian hits the Extreme on Mental Mark and this may be all!
Brian gets to his feet and walks over to the turnbuckle as he looks out at the fans that boo him. Brian shakes his head as he climbs up to the top and positionshimself up there.
KK: Here we go baby, we're about to see the High Flyer!
Brian flips into the air and lands on Mark, driving the air out of both competitors as Brian lays on top of Mark, exhausted as Wallace gets down and makes the count. One... Two... Thr-Rope Break!
TB: Mark got his foot on the rope! Mark got his foot on the rope!
Wallace ordered Brian to get off of Mark as Brian looked over at the ref and then over at Mark's foot on the bottom rope. Brian pushed himself to his feet and got right in the face of the referee, saying that he had a three count before Mark had gotten his foot on the rope.
KK: I think that was a slow count Trent.
TB: You think everything is a slow count Keith.
Brian continued to argue with Wallace Mark slowly got onto all fours. He crawled over to Mr. Bear, who was lying on the mat, and picked him up. Mark then stumbled to his feet as he stalked behind Brian.
KK: Oh no, Mark's wielding that crazy bear again! Look out Brian!
As if hearing Keith's warnings, Brian turned around only to be knocked down to the mat as Mark drove Mr. Bear right into Brian's face, busting him open!
TB: My God what a knockout shot there by Mental Mark as he has just busted open Brian Carter!
Brian lay on his back, blood flowing into his eyes as he blinked several times, trying to remember who and where he was. Mark patted Mr. Bear on the head and then gently put him down as he stalked behind Brian Carter. The fans began to chant "Mark" over and over again as Brian slowly pushed himself up to his feet.
KK: This is unfair, Mark shouldn't be allowed to use that bear as a weapon! Where are the LD!? How can they allow this travesty to go!?
Brian staggered to his feet and into Mark who lifted Brian up onto his shoulders as the fans began to go crazy.
TB: Mark's going for the exclamation point! He wants to end this one right here and now!
Mark spun Brian around and dropped him down onto the back of his head with a Fireman's Carry into Michinoku Driver!
TB: Straight Jacket! Straight Jacket! Mark hits the Straight Jacket and we could have a new X-Treme Champion here!
Mark collapsed onto Brian as Wallace got down and made the count as the crowd counted along with him. One... Two... Three! Wallace ordered the bell to be rung as Mark slid off Brian. Realising he had just won, new life surged into Mark as he made his way up to his feet and grabbed Mr. Bear. He screamed at Mr. Bear in elation as Wallace walked over and handed Mark the X-Treme Title!
TB: Mark has done it! Mark has done it! He is the new X-Treme Champion!
KK: No! No! No! He cheated! He cheated! This isn't fair! Brian was screwed!
TB: Brian lost Keith, take it like a man.
Mark hoisted the title up in one hand and Mr. Bear up in other as the fans gave him a standing ovation and chanted "Mark" over and over again
TB: A dream has come true for that man right there as Mental Mark has won the X-Treme Championship match in a hard fought battle with Brian Carter! Both men gave it there all here tonight and, in my eyes, they both are winners! You're looking at two future superstars ladies and gentlemen and on this night, we will always remember Mark's first steps towards stardom!
Commercial Break.
"Soldier" by Eminem plays as Fudge walks out and he g4ets in the ring ready to face Abrianna as the fans cheer him. Suddenly “One Armed Scissor” hits.
TB: Wait a minute now. That isn’t Abrianna’s usual music.
KK: That’s because it’s Grimjack’s music!
Grimjack is walking out wearing jean shorts and a green collar shirt. He has a mic and talks as he gets in the ring.
Grimjack: You’re probably expecting Abrianna huh Fudge. Well you’re not good enough to face her. You’re not good enough to be in the same ring as anyone from the Legacy Department. However, being that the Legacy Department will face the Aftermath at the pay per view in a tag match, I’ve decided to compete in that match myself! How about giving me a little chance to get rid of ring rust Fudge!
The crowd is going nuts at this as Fudge smiles totally prepared to kick Grimjack’s ass. He steps towards Grimjack but Grimjack backs away.
Grimjack: Whoa whoa whoa! I never said I’d take you on one on one! I’m the commisoner so I make matches, and I’m making this a handicap match. You can face me . . . and Diamond!!!
Fudge is shocked as the crowd is going nuts. But then the HWAtron comes on and Diamond is seen. He smiles as the crowd chants his name.
Diamond: Fudge I will face you at Atmosphere but there’s no way I’ll help Grimjack!
Grimjack is pissed looking at the screen when suddenly Fudge comes over and gives him the Fudge U!
TB: Again! The second Fudge U tonight for Grimjack! He’s out cold!!!
Fudge walks to the back happy as Grimjack is out in the ring.
Commercial break.
("Circles" by Incubus begins to play throughout the arena and the crowd cheers for the arival of Ryan Maxem. Maxem steps out onto the rampway and taunts the crowd . Maxem then walks down to the ring and climbs in and taunts the crowed again.)
TB: It looks like Ryan Maxem is ready for action.
KK: I think he's going to get his ass handed to him tonight.
("Got the Life" by Korn fills the arena and the crowed goes nuts as Anubis stups out onto the ramp. Anubis flashes a smile to the crowed then walks down to the ring and climbs in and extends his hand to Maxem. The two shake hands and the ref calls for the bell.)
TB: There's a show of good sportsmenship before the match begins.
KK: Oh come on the fans don't want to see that crap. They came here to see these two beat the living day lights out of each other.
TB: Shut up Kieth.
(Maxem and Anubis lock up and Maxem whips Anubis into the ropes and as he comes back he leap frogs over him then connects with a clothsline as he comes back.)
TB: Good move by Ryan Maxem.
KK: Actually it was. I'm inpressed.
TB: Wow, there's a first.
(Seconds after Anubis hits the ground he springs back up and conects with a clothsline of his own. Anubis picks Maxem up of the mat and tosses him onto his shoulders into a firemans carry but Maxem slips out and lands with a reverse DDT on Anubis.)
TB: Nice reversal.
(Anubis shakes his head to get the cob webs out and Maxem walks up to Anubis and reaches down to grab his head so he can lift him off the mat. As he does this Anubis kicks his leg back and kicks Maxem directly in the forehead. Anubis gets to his feet and lifts Maxem up off the mat and tosses him intot he corner. Anubis then sets Maxem on the top turnbuckle and hits a hellatious super plex. Both men seem to be stuned by the move and Anubis rolls over to make a pin. 1...2...kick out.)
TB: Not enough to put away Ryan Maxem just yet.
(Anubis staggers to shis feet, lifts Maxem up off the mat, and whips him into the ropes and on his way back Anubis hits a big boot to the face of Ryan Maxem. Anubis lift him up off the mat and hits the Outsider and makes the pin. 1...2...3. The ref calls for the bell as "Got the Life" by Korn begins to play.)
TB: That was a good victory by Anubis.
KK: I was suprised. Maxem put up a better fight then I thought he would.
The HWAtron goes on and we see Grimjack and Anderson sitting on couches in the Syracuse home locker room with Carmelo Anthony.
Anthony: This is pretty hot so far guys. Maybe if my basketball career doesn’t work out I should try to get a job in the HWA? Ha ha ha!
Anderson: Better yet how about I join the NBA?
Anthony: Well you are pretty tall. Can you dunk?
Anderson: Grim man he’s asking if I can dunk.
Grimjack: Yeah he can, he has dunked on me in the past I’m ashamed to admit. I can’t dunk but I never said basketball was my game.
Anderson: You don’t wrestle much lately either Grim but it’s good to hear you’ll have my back at the pay per view against the Aftermath.
Grimjack: No doubt man. Hey speaking of that don’t you have a match with TCO right now?
Anderson: Nah dude. Let’s cancel that because he doesn’t deserve to be in the same ring as me.
Grimjack: All right dude. Well we should do the match with Conner and Diamond then. Come on Melo let’s do it up.
Carmelo: All right let’s do this.
The crowd starts going nuts in anticipation of seeing Carmelo Anthony again as they head out the door and the show goes to Commercial.
"King Of My World" by Saliva hits and out walks the challenger Kevin Conner as very loud boos are heard everywhere. He smirks.
KK: The greatest music in the HWA for the best competitor.
TB: Keith get off Kevin’s nuts for ten seconds please.
KK: Only if you get off Diamond’s nuts for one second.
Suddenly “One shining moment hits and out walks Carmelo Anthony along with Grimjack, Anderson, Carter and Sanders, Syxx and Brooklyn. Carmelo Anthony is wearing a referee shirt but instead of black and white stripes it’s dark blue and orange stripes and the crowd is going nuts for him.
TB: Why is Carmelo Anthony hanging out with the Legacy Department. I mean I know Grimjack is from Syracuse but even the fans here hate him.
KK: He just knows who the best team is.
Anthony gets in the ring and Conner comes up to him and shakes his hand, wanting to get on the refree’s good side. The Legacy Department stays on the outside, one man on each of the four sides of the ring to act as lumber jacks. Suddenly the crowd gets electric when "Points of Authority (Reannimation Remix)" by Linkin Park hits. Diamond walks out holding the HWA title up and he holds it high. Sparks hit all over him and he walks down the ramp slapping hands. He gets in the ring and looks Conner up and down. Carmelo Anthony is laughing and smiling his huge smile over all the action going on. Diamond goes over and shakes the kid’s hand and flash pictures go off all over the place. Anthony looks around and signals for the bell to be rung which it is.
TB: Here we go! Last week’s match between these was amazing but this week we have lumberjacks and a special ref! Should be even better!
Conner charges Diamond with hatred and goes for a clothesline but Diamond ducks it. Conner keeps going bouncing off the ropes but is hit with a huge spear coming back and Diamond goes for a quick pin.
TB: This is how Diamond won last week with a spear! Will he win already!?!
But Conner kicks out quickly and gets up pissed that Diamond got first blood in the match. He starts hitting Diamond with hard lefts and rights and gets him in the corner and starts ramming Diamond’s head into the turnbuckle. Carmelo Anthony comes over and grabs Conner by the neck and slams him down hard as the fans start going nuts. Conner gets up pissed like he’s going to hit Carmelo but Carmelo looks down at Conner as he is 6’8” and Conner backs up as the crowd is going insane and start chanting “One More Year” Anthony just starts laughing at this. Diamond is catching his breath leaning against the turnbuckle when suddenly Anderson gets on the apron with a steel chair and clocks Diamond in the back of the head with it and Diamond collapses on the mat as the fans are booing hard. Conner sees his opportunity and hooks the leg of Diamond going for a pin. But Anthony saw the chair shot and refuses to count, he’s not sure what to do though. Suddenly Grimjack is in the ring arguing with Anthony telling him to count for Conner. Suddenly Anthony kicks Grimjack in the gut and gives him a powerbomb as the crowd is lit up!
KK: WHAT IS HE DOING???
TB: Carmelo did the right thing!!! And the crowd loves it!!!
Conner gets up and is arguing with Anthony but Anthony grabs him and gives him a chokeslam as the crowd is loving it. The other members of the Legacy Department are about to storm the ring when suddenly “Just Got Wicked” hits and the lights flash. Syxx, Brian, and Sanders all go to the bottom of the entrance way while Grimjack, Anderson and Brooklyn all keep an eye on whats going on in the ring.
KK: It looks like TCO and Anubis are coming to avenge what happened to Sett and Morgoth last week!
Just then, TCO and Anubis throw off jackets in the rows behind Grimjack and Anderson. TCO grabs a chair and smacks Grimjack upside the head, while Anubis trades rights with Anderson. TCO stands over Grimjack and taunts him, and turns around in time to see Brooklyn advancing with his own chair, which TCO promptly kicks back into his face, knocking him to the ground. Syxx, Brian and Sanders all see this, so they charge back and start to assault TCO and Anubis.
TB: It’s honorable what they’ve done, but they’re going to be killed by the LD with numbers like that.
In the ring, Conner loses focus and lets up on Diamond. He turns his attention to the outside, but Diamond gets up and locks the Diamond Cutter on Conner!
KK: DIAMOND CUTTER! DIAMOND CUTTER! And the Legacy Department is too incensed with TCO and Anubis to notice!
Diamond goes up top, and lands the Prism!
TB: Carmelo is counting!!! 1…2…3!!! DIAMOND RETAINS!!!
KK: Diamond may have won, but look, Grimjack is up and is pointing to the inside of the ring!
TB: Oh my god, the Legacy Department is running in the ring! Anderson and Brooklyn are dragging TCO and Anubis in, and look, TCO’s head is busted wide open. Sanders, Grimjack, Syxx, and Brian all back Diamond into a corner.
Conner is starting to come to and sees whats happening, and gladly joins in. Conner is helping to hold TCO down in the corner, while Brooklyn and Sanders pound away on Anubis. Carmelo Anthony gets out of the ring not wanting any part.
Anderson is callin for some D-weisers, and Grimjack is laughing it up.
KK: This is horrible, Michael Diamond, Tha Aftermath are all being manhandled by the Legacy Department!
TB: TCO and Anubis came to be heros, and they were far outnumbered.
Just then, the lights go off and “Go To Sleep” by Eminem starts to play. The lights come back on slowly, and a figure stands at the top of the rampway.
KK: Trent, who is that?
TB: I’m not quite sure…
Some pyro goes off around the figure and the lights turn off to reveal a blond haired man wearing black clothing and a black overcoat holding a black 4 foot pipe across his shoulders.
KK: I’ll be…
TB: IT’S CLOUD! CLOUD HAS RETURNED TO THE HWA! CLOUD IS BACK!
The Legacy Department looks on as Cloud walks down the ramp. Syxx and Conner go out to meet him, but he quickly knocks both down with the pipe. He rushes into the ring and starts going after Brian and Brooklyn, who quickly slide out the ring. Grimjack slips out to the side of the ring, leaving Anderson staring at Cloud. Cloud drops the pipe and looks up at Anderson before Anderson pushes him, and laughs. Cloud doesn’t flinch, and Anderson throws a right at Cloud, which quickly turns into…
KK: CLIMHAZZARD! CLOUD JUST NAILED THE CLIMHAZZARD ON ANDERSON! GOOD GOD! ANDERSON IS DOWN!
TB: It has really been a long time for Cloud, former Aftermath member, to be seen in the eyes of the HWA!
Cloud tosses a D-Weiser out to Grimjack, and toasts to him. Anderson rolls out of the ring, and TCO, Anubis and Diamond all start to show some sort of life. Cloud offers a hand to TCO, who accepts and hugs Cloud as the crowd goes nuts.
Anubis gets up and high fives Cloud, but quickly leans against the ropes. TCO is calling for a mic, and gets one as the CLOUD chants across the arena are deafening. Cloud smiles, and pumps his fist in the air.
TCO: Grimjack… Syxx… Conner… boy do I have a surprise for all of you. You…*cough*
TB: TCO is visibly shaken from the attack!
TCO: Syxx… as PRESIDENT of HWA, YOU’RE FIRED!
Syxx goes nuts on stage, as he realizes the President just canned him!
TCO: Conner… I don’t know what the fuck a duke is, but regardless… YOU AIN’T ROYALTY, SO YOU’RE FIRED TOO!
TCO: And Grimjack… you can stay commissioner. But only because I’ll have something special for you next week, and I think you’ll like it. But before you cowards run back to the lockerroom… I’d like to welcome back Cloud, who’ll be joining us in the stable match at Atmosphere!
TCO: And Brooklyn, this is for you and Sanders. Do you remember Redemption? Remember how you and Cloud left the Disciples to join Tha Aftermath? The door is open for you two to come and be a part of history. Come back HOME, Brooklyn – and I’ll show Sanders what its like to be a true champion – not the assload of chumps you’re hangin around with now. The choice is yours, Sanders. If Brook knows what best for ya… and you trust him… I’ll expect an answer by Atmosphere.
TCO: Oh yeah, one another thing… YOU GUYS READY TO FEEL THA AFTERMATH?! YEA-E-YEA!!!
Carmelo Anthony gets in the ring and hands all the members of the Aftermath Syracuse jerseys and they’re celebrating as the show goes out.
