Sunday, April 20th, 2003
The scene opens up in Toledo the site of Saturday Night Survival. Suddenly "Sugar" by System of a Down hits and Trent Brown and Keith Kincaid are at ringside looking around as Mental Mark walks out to the ring with teddy bears.
TB: Here comes Mark with the X-treme title and looks like we’re getting right to it!
KK: Guess so, which is good because of his opponent tonight!
"Faint" by Linkin Park hits and out walks Syren and cheers are heard for her.
KK: Hell yeah. Now she has had just one match so far and she is the number one contender to Mark’s belt, hence she gets this title shot seven days before Atmosphere!
She gets in the ring and looks Mark up and down. Mark seems unsure like he doesn’t want to hurt her.
KK: Come on Mark! You get to touch her all you want, you’re the luckiest man in this arena right now!
The bell rings and Syren doesn’t hesitate as she bounces off the ropes and jumps onto Mark, grabs his head and hits a spinning DDT that surprises him. She takes advantage going off the opposite middle ropes with a lionsault onto him and the air is knocked out of him.
TB: Mark is trying to catch his breath but look, Syren is on the top turnbuckle now!
Mark gets to his feet but as soon as he does Syren jumps off and hits a hurricurrana on him sending Mark flying across the room. Syren gets up pleased with her success and poses for the cameras.
TB: What a great young talent she is. I am proud to be witnessing this match, I don’t know about you there Keith.
KK: For once you and I agree! I am enjoying this as well.
Mental Mark is sitting in the corner kind of freaking out over something. His teddy bears are there and he’s talking to them.
KK: What a weird fellow.
Syren walks over and sees him there freaking out and she’s a little nervous. Mark sees this and he picks up the bears showing them to her. He’s trying to tell them they can all be friends. Syren backs away and looks at Wallace Cunningham the ref like what’s going on? He shrugs. Cunningham is telling Mark he can’t have teddy bears in the ring so Mark puts them back. As he does it Syren hits him from behind a few times but Mark reflexiviely gives her an elbow to the jaw knocking her down. Mark looks down like he didn’t mean it but then he looks back at the bears like they’re telling him something. He nods and picks Syren up. He drops her with a rough suplex. Then he gets up on the top turnbuckle.
TB: Good god no Mark! Don’t do it!
Mark leaps off and hits the Mindbender on Syren, but he injured himself doing it as he is holding his ribs in pain. Both are out.
KK: What a match.
Mark is the first to get up, he still is appearing to be taking orders from his bears. He goes outside the ring and is getting a steel chair and is about to bring it in the ring when Syren runs over and baseball slides the steel chair right into his noggin.
TB: Ouch!!!
Mark gets up and Syren bounces off the ropes backwards for possibly a moonsault but Mark catches her and drops her down on the steel chair with a powerbomb.
TB: Mark just reversed that damn moonsault! I’ve never seen that!
Mark goes under the ring and pulls out a ladder and sets it up there beside Syren outside the ring. She is still laying on the steel chair as Mark starts to ascend the ladder.
TB: What in God’s damn name . . .
Mark stands on the highest rung and puts his arms out and closes his eyes soaking in the cheers. He jumps off with the Mindbender but before he hits Syren she moves and he lands right on the steel chair further hurting his ribs.
KK: Whoa!
TB: My God . . .
Syren is almost out cold but she manages to put an arm over Mark’s chest and Cunningham is there to count since it’s falls count anywhere. 1 . . . 2 . . . 3!!!!
KK: Hell yeah! New X-treme Champion now! She did it Syren did it but wow!
TB: Wow is right what a match!
"Bring Me To Life" by Evanescence hits and Brian Carter comes down to the ring. The crowd erupts in mixed expressions as to give Brian some respect for his match. He has tape wrapped around his ribs and bandages over his cuts from his match last week.
TB: What the hell is this all about?
KK: If you would just shut up and pay attention, maybe he will tell you.
Brian gets in the ring and grab a mic.
BC: First off, I want to congratulate Mental Mark on his victory over me last week. K
K: What the hell is wrong with him?
TB: Maybe he took very bad damage from his match last week. Maybe he is a good sport and doesn't care about the title.
KK: Not care about the title? What the hell is wrong with YOU!?
BC: I also want any one of the LD members to come down to the ring please.
Brian's tag team partner Scott Sanders comes out from behind the curtain and walks down to the ring. He gets in the ring at looks at Brian in a strange way.
BC: Hey bud. How have you been? You didn't come see me in the hospital did you?
SS: No actually I didn't.
BC: None of the LD members came to see me in the hospital did they?
SS: Well, I don't know.
BC: No they didn't. And I have one thing that I want you to deliver to them for me.
Brian puts his hand in a fist and punches Sanders right in the nose. Sanders falls to the ground and Brian pics up the mic.
BC: Screw you and the LD! I am going to form a team with my new best friends, Mark and Mr. Bear! Just then, Grimjack and Anderson came down to the ring and Brian quickly scampered out and into the crowd. Brian went to his locker room and he opened the door. Mental Mark was sitting in his chair and Mr. Bear was on his lap.
BC: What are you doing here, Mark?
MM: I came to see you. We are partners you know.
BC: You know I am going to help you with a lot of stuff now, right? I am going to help you get the balls to talk to a girl. How do you like that?
MM: I would like that alot. Wouldn't you Mr. Bear?
Commercial Break.
The HWAtron goes on and we see Grimjack and Anderson sitting in their locker room on couches. Grimjack is holding a bowl and turning it over in his hands just looking at it.
Grimjack: Man this sucks Derek. I almost don’t even feel like smoking this and it’s 420.
Anderson: What’s wrong?
Grimjack: Things have sucked with the HWA lately. Last week I got booed in my own hometown. Now it seems like the Legacy Department is falling apart. Brian just quit. Syxx got fired by TCO. Sanders might join the Aftermath. Maxem is taking time off. It’s just you and me now dude. And we have a match against the Aftermath next week at Atmosphere.
Anderson: No problem we can take all those deuschebags on, just you and me, it’ll be like old times.
Grimjack: Well we do have . . . you know . . . the mystery partner . . .
Anderson: Oh yeah! Almost forgot! That’s going to be great. They have their Aftermath but we have someone no one knows about, course they’ll know by tonight eh! But dude don’t worry about that match, we have it under control.
Grimjack: I don’t doubt that . . . it’s just that, I’m getting sick and tired of this D. I never told anyone this . . . but when I was in Mexico . . . I met someone . . . a girl.
Anderson: So that’s what this is about huh? Well do you want some advice?
Grimjack: Yeah definitely.
Anderson: If you ever think you’ve got something special with someone, don’t let it go. Don’t do what I did with Summer. Life’s too short.
Grimjack is lifting the lighter as the scene goes out.
"Nobody's Listening" by Linkin Park hits and out walks Vulcher. The crowd erupts in mixed reactions. Vulcher gets in the ring and gets on the turnbuckle and poses for the crowd. Cloud's music hits and the crowd is on their feet for the return match of Cloud. Cloud gets in the ring with his eyes locked on Vulcher, making sure he doesn't try anything. Cunningham sounds for the bell and the match is underway. They tie up and Cloud counters with an arm drag. Vulcher gets up and Cloud clotheslines him back down. Cloud pics him up and gives Vulcher a bodyslam. Cloud gets up and jumps in the air and lands right on Vulcher's head.
TB: What a leg drop there.
Cloud covers 1...kickout.
KK: Doesn't Cloud have enough since to know that it takes more than that to take someone down?
TB: Just shut up and call the match.
Cloud pulls Vulcher up to his feet and kicks him in the gut. Cloud runs to the ropes and bounces back only to be met by a big boot to the face.
TB: Nice counter there by Vulcher.
Vulcher picks Cloud up and grabs Cloud's neck. He picks him up and gives him a vicious chokeslam.
TB: My god! He already gave Cloud a chokeslam! And he is going for the cover.
1...2...kickout!
TB: Cloud barely kicking out there. I don't know if he can hold on anymore.
Vulcher picks Cloud up and throws him to the ropes. Vulcher attempts a clothesline but Cloud ducks and bounces off the other ropes. Cloud gives Vulcher a shoulder block to get the big man down. Cloud, seeing his opportunity, goes to the turnbuckle. Cloud waits for Vulcher to get to his feet and jumps off only for Vulcher to b met with a missle dropkick.
TB: What a missle dropkick by Cloud!
KK: It is going to take more that that to beat Vulcher. Look at the guy. He is huge!
Cloud goes for the cover.
TB: 1...2...kickout. Cloud thrown off of Vulcher like a flea.
KK: Kickout? That was more like a throw off.
Vulcher gets up and Cloud meets him with a headlock. Vulcher pushes Cloud off of him right into the ref.
TB: Oh no! The ref is knocked out and he isn't moving.
KK: Yes! Now anything can happen here.
Cloud jumps out of the ring and gets a chair from outside of the ring. He gets in the ring with Vulcher distracted by the ref being knocked out. Cloud sneaks up behind Vulcher and nails him right in the back with the chair. Vulcher doesn't staggers a little and turns around Cloud runs at Vulcher and BAM!!!
KK: Damn. I bet that had to hurt.
TB: Cloud tried to hit Vulcher again with a chair shot and he got hit by it himself as Vulcher gave him a big boot.
Vulcher picks up Cunningham and tells him to count. Vulcher gets on Cloud and hooks the leg. 1. . . . . . .2. . . . . . .3!
TB: Vulcher picks up the victory by a chair shot!
KK: It's all Cloud's fault. If he wouldn't have brought that chair in the ring, he probably would have won.
TB: Oh well. It's over now. Vulcher is the winner.
Commercial Break.
Sawyer's music hits and the crowd erupts in cheers. Sawyer walks down to the ring, gets in and onto the turnbuckle. Just as he got on the turnbuckle, "King Of My World" by Saliva hits and out walks Harcore Soul Kevin Conner with a chair in hand. The crowd boos Conner and he just shakes his head and heads strait for Sawyer. Conner jumps in the ring and Saywer quickly slides out. Sawyer goes under the ring and starts pulling out trash cans, ladders, tables, street signs, and all kinds of shit like that.
KK: What the hell is Sawyer doing?
TB: He is trying to make this match even.
Sawyer grabs the trash can and throws it at Conner. Conner hits the trash can with the chair like a baseball. Sawyer goes under the ring and he grabs a fire extinguisher and sprays Conner's eyes with it.
TB: Smart thinking there by Sawyer. Maybe he can capitalize here.
Conner falls strait to the mat and rolls to the outside. Sawer sets up the table on the outside and throws the ladder in the ring for later. Conner goes over to Trent and Keith where there is a water bottle and tries to wash his eyes out.
KK: What are you doing? That's mine dammit!
TB: Let the man wash his eyes out.
Sawyer, taking advantage of this, grabs the chair Conner brought out and hit Conner right in the back with the chair.
KK: Look out Conner!
The shot is heard throughout the arena.
KK: Nevermind.
Conner falls to the ground and Sawyer picks him up. Sawyer puts Conner on the table that he set up and got in the ring.
TB: What is Sawyer going to do here?
KK: Can't you figure it out? He is going to jump off the turnbuckle and sacrafice himself. Billy Kidman II: Sawyer jumps off the turnbuckle and Conner moves.
TB: Sawyer tried to take out Conner with that move and he just took himself out!
KK: Come on Conner! Get up and kick his ass!
Conner, obviously hearing Keith's complaint, gets up and gets in the ring. He sees the ladder, sets it up next to the ropes, and goes outside under the ring.
TB: What is Conner going to do here?
KK: It appears he is going to hide from Sawyer.
TB: Will you shut up?
Conner comes out with yet another table and set it up right below the ladder.
KK: I think I know what Conner is going to do here.
TB: Well, smartass, what is he going to do then?
KK: He is going to set the table up and put Sawyer on it and put him through it.
Sure enough, Conner went and picked Sawyer up and put him on the table. Conner got in the ring and got on the turnbuckle. Conner paused, then shook his head as if saying "hell no." Conner then stared at the ladder.
KK: What did I tell you?
Conner started to climb the ladder and got to the top. Conner signaled for the One Of A Kind and junped off of the ladder right onto Sawyer.
TB: Oh my god!!! Conner just took one hell of a risk there!
Cunningham got down to the outside of the ring and, seeing that Conner landed right on top of Sawyer, started the count. 1....2....3!
TB: Conner picks up an impressive victory.
Suddenly Vulcher comes running down the ring and he slides in. Sawyer is starting to get up but Vulcher kicks him down and starts stomping on him. Conner doesn’t care and walks away. Vulcher pulls Sawyer up and gives him the Kings Cross. Vulcher is smiling an evil grin as he leaves the ring to loud boos and Sawyer is out.
The HWAtron comes on and we see Grimjack and Anderson in their room, a lot of smoke in the air. Suddenly a knock is heard at the door.
Grimjack: Come in.
The door opens but it’s hard to open because there’s a towel in front of it to keep smoke in. Abrianna walks in and makes a face at the smell. The crowd goes nuts for her though.
Abrianna: What’s going on in here?
Grimjack: Hey not much! Hey Abby. What are you doing here?
Abrianna: You called me and told me to come see you here, I’ve been looking all around for you guys and someone said to look for you in here. Is this all that’s left of the Legacy Department?
Anderson: Unfortunately yeah. Hey we have a match against the Aftermath next week and we need more people. We know Maxem isn’t around and he was the reason you were in the Legacy Department, but what do you say? You down?
Abrianna: Sure why not? I’m not doing anything. But I can’t stick around, I’m meeting someone for dinner. Later boys.
Grimjack: Sweet . . .
Fades out . . .
TB: Looks like the Legacy Department is recruiting again. But the way things are I just don’t think they stand a chance against the might of the Aftermath.
(Lance's music starts and fills the arena as he makes his way down the ramp way towards the ring. Lance climbs into the ring and taunts the crowed.)
TB: Lance looks like he is ready for battle tonight.
KK: Yeah right.
(Then "I Hate Jimmy Page" by Mindless Self Indulgence fills the arena and The crowd slightly cheers and Jareth steps out onto the ramp way and taunts the crowed. He then walks to the ring and climbs in and Lance charges at him. As Lance does this Jareth hits him with The Train Wreck. The ref calls for the bell to officially start the match. Jareth stands up and Lance slowely staggers to his feet and as soon as he turns around he is met by a Seppuku from Jareth and hits the mat hard.)
TB: There's a hard hit from Jareth and I think Lance is out.
KK: I told you that Lance didn't look like he was ready for this match.
TB: Shut up.
(Jareth makes a cover and the ref makes the count. 1...2...3! Jareth wins. "I Hate Jimmy Page" fills the arena as Jareth walks up the ramp way and to the back.)
TB: That Jareth guy is pretty bad ass.
KK: I’m not so impressed. But look it’s time for another match!
(The sound of "South Texas Deathride" by Union Underground fills the Arena and the crowed cheers the arival of Sett. Se comes down to the ring climbs in and awaits his opponent.)
TB: The crowed here seems to love Sett.
KK: Are you kidding me?
(Then the sound of Nomad's music fills the arena and the crowed boos as he walks to the ring with his eyes fixed on Sett.)
KK: Look at the intensity on Nomad's face. He looks like he's going to kick some ass.
(Nomad climbs in the ring and Sett goes for a punch but Nomad blocks it and hits Sett with a right hook that takes him to the ground. The ref calls for the bell and the match officially begins. Sett quickly springs up to his feet and locks up with Nomad. Sett gets the better advantage and puts Nomad in a head lock. Nomad sends Sett into the ropes and as Sett comes back he is met by an elbow from Nomad and he hits the mat. Nomad runs back to the ropes and as he comes back Sett is already back to his feet and wraps his hand around Nomads neck and then lifts him up in the air.)
TB: Is it? Could it be?
KK: No it can't be.
(Sett showboats for a moment then slams Nomad down to the ground.)
TB: STD! STD! STD!
KK: NO! NO! NO!
(Sett makes the cover and the ref makes the count. 1...2...3. "South Texas Deathride" begins to play as Sett taunts for the crowed and makes his way up the rampway.) But before he gets there Grimjack and Anderson appear at the top of the ramp and face him. Grim has a mic.
TB: Oh god here we go.
Grimjack: What are you looking at Sett? This doesn’t concern you! This concerns Nomad!
KK: Huh?
Nomad is up and he looks down the ramp from the ring quizzically.
Grimjack: That’s right Nomad! You were Legacy Department once! We kicked you out but we realized we made a mistake and we’re sorry! We want you back in to help us kick the Aftermath’s ass this Sunday!
Nomad looks surprised by this. Then he starts thinking. He looks at Sett and smiles, then he starts nodding.
TB: Was Nomad the mystery partner?
Sett smirks and starts shaking his head like this entire display is shameful to him.
Grimjack: What the hell are you smirking at Sett?
Sett snatches the mic.
Sett: Grim you can hire all the henchmen you want for our match, either way you and the Legacy Department is getting their asses kicked. For the LAST time.
Grimjack and Anderson look pissed and they head towards Sett as if to fight when suddenly Sober hits and TCO, Cloud and Anubis walk out and stand by Sett’s side showing that he has backup.
TB: My god Keith for once the Legacy Department is outnumbered!
Just then the lights go out in the Toledo Sports Arena. After two minutes of darkness the lights go on. And a man in black standing in the middle of the ring.)
TB: THATS THE LD MYSTERY PARTNER!
KK: Yeah but who is it?
(Suddenly Grimjack comes speaks)
Grimjack: Ladies of Gentleman I would like to give to you the fifth member of the Ds team. Your HOMETOWN CHILD. KEVIN CONNER!
(The man in the ring takes off his mask revealing the face of Kevin Conner the crowd beings to boo loud at Conner. Conner goes gets a microphone as trash is being thrown at him. Jason Mysterio comes to the ring and gets a microphone.)
Jason Mysterio: Conner! What are you doing? These are the people that jumped you from behind because you wanted to be friends! How are you just gonna team up with them?
Kevin Conner: Well Jason I don’t know what to say. Its just I know that. But what’s gotten into you?
(Jason is quit)
Jason Mysterio: Nothing dude I’m just playing!
(Conner and Mysterio hug as Grimjack makes his way down to ringside.) Kevin Conner: “Well Grimjack looks like old ties can never be broken. And what a team you have now for Atmosphere. Mysterio will be on the D’s side too. Although me and these people might not see eye to eye we got one thing in common. We like to win and kick peoples ass. That’s what we will do.”
TB: Now the Legacy Department has even odds! But where is Morgoth!
TCO is looking pissed like he’s about to do something. Grimjack gets on the mic.
Grimjack: TCO wait! Let’s wait to do battle for next week! See, I now have enough people to face your team. In fact I have one more than your team of five! How will you deal with that???
TCO looks like he doesn’t know what to say when suddenly a voice is heard over the PA. It is masked by some type of mechanical device to sound very high and you can’t tell who is speaking.
Voice: Don’t worry about that Damien. This is a very old friend of yours. I’ll see you on Sunday . . . and I will fight side by side with you on the Aftermath to even these odds . . . see you at Atmosphere . . .
TB: Who the hell was that!!!
KK: I don’t know! Look at TCO’s face! He’s in shock! Even he doesn’t know who that was! But it’s a miracle that no fights broke out here!
TB: Well it looks like the Legacy Department vs. the Aftermath next week will be 6 on 6, although now the Aftermath has a mystery partner! This will be great!
Everyone leaves the ring arena as the show is over. Grimjack is seen walking to the back and he gets to his office and goes inside to get things together.
*Grimjack is seen sitting in his office, plotting evil deeds as usual...he turns around in his chair with a smile on his face. He stands up when suddenly the door shuts close. He looks around when all of a sudden everything goes black. The darkness doesn't affect whatever was in the room, because the sound of chairs flying, punches thrown, things flopping around echoes throughout the room. When the lights come back on Morgoth is seen holding Grimjack by his neck suspended in the air.*
Grimjack *through gasps* - Morgoth, heh, I was just looking for you, I was...*coughs as Morgoth tightens the grip on his neck*
Morgoth - Shut up, JUST SHUT UP! Do you know WHY I don't have that World Title around my waist? DO you know WHY I don't have the tag title around my waist? DO YOU? Well you're gonna find it out.
*Morgoth slams Grimjack down on his desk.*
Grimjack - Listen, I was just looking for you so I could apologize myself, I was going to offer you a spot in the Legacy Department and I...
*Morgoth slams Grim's back against the desk again*
Morgoth - THE LEGACY DEPARTMENT?! They are the REASON I don't have these belts around my WAIST! You know what Grimjack, what is stopping me from stopping you right now? From ending the leader of the legacy department. I've killed better and thought NOTHING of it. Don't push me. But I'll tell you what...I know what you're going to do for me, you're going to fight me...one on one at the PPV. And you know what else? The winner goes on to have a HWA World Title shot, isn't that right, BUDDY? Oh, and guess what else, if the Legacy Department so much as steps a toe onto the ramp or anywhere in sight, TCO will promptly FIRE their ass. Any questions? Good.
*Morgoth runs Grimjack into the wall next to him, and then throws him over his own desk. He walks over to where Grimjack lays, then picked him up and delivered the goth to him. Morgoth then goes through Grimjack's drawers. He picks out various pencils and pens, throwing each at Grimjack. Going to the bottom of the of his drawers he picks up a condom. He reads the package.*
Morgoth - Hmm....apple flavored....
*Morgoth takes the condom out of its package, unravels it, and places it over Grimjack's nose. He grabs one of Grim's staplers, and staples it firmly to the holes of Grim's nose. He walks over to the door and looks through a black bag he brought. He pulls out a four foot long snake. He looks at it for a minute, and drops it on the floor. Morgoth opens the door and takes a step out. He turns to look back at the snake, heading towards Grimjack's nose.*
Morgoth - He loves apple.
Scene fades out.
