Saturday
Night Survival
July 24th, 2004
Announcer: From ARCO Arena, in Sacramento, California, the Hardcore Wrestling Alliance welcomes you to Saturday Night Survival!
The ring is set, the fans in the stands, and the stadium is about to be lit on fire. “Party Up” by DMX blasts the speakers, and the whole of the audience is on their feet. Keith Kincaid and Trent Brown sit, dressed in their best, ready to bring you the action of the HWA.
TB: Welcome to this week’s edition of SNS! I am Trent Brown, along side me is Keith Kincaid, as always, and we are rockin’ and ready for tonight! In our opening match, former Militia member Kamikaze will be fighting against Dan Sawyer, should be a great match. Then, we have fan favorite Dylan Wolfe fighting Jason Craven’s hired gun, who just happens to also clean the top four floors of the HWA headquarters every day.
KK: I think Jason Craven has something up his sleeve for Wolfe. I can’t wait to see it happen! Sawyer and Kamikaze are both in their primes. That should be a main event caliber match there.
TB: I should hope so. In our Main Event, The Real Hero, backed by the fans, will go against his former partner and long time friend Kevin Conner. That should be a pay per view quality match.
KK: I’ve been on the edge of my seat waiting for Kevin Conner to get back there in the ring after being screwed over by Dylan Wolfe last week.
TB: But now, we go live backstage, where Carmine Lo Duca has a very pleased Dylan Wolfe for an interview. Carmine, you’re on.
The scene changes to a steel cage backdrop set for an interview. Carmine Lo Duca has Dylan Wolfe, who just entered the arena, wearing a Peja Stojakavic Kings basketball jersey, with a matching Fifty-Fifty hat. He takes a swig of his Code Red soda in a twenty ounce bottle, then drops it, ready to go. Carmine smiles to the camera.
CLD: Dylan Wolfe, you tied Kevin Conner last week in a hard fought match. What are your reflections on it?
DW: I have a newfound respect for Kevin Conner. He put on quite a show, and he is definitely not the pushover he was before the hiatus. I hope to fight him again in the future, but as for now, I have more pressing matters.
CLD: One of those matters comes tonight in the form of a janitor. The man is a solid fighter, and his past is in shrouded mystery. Mr. Craven, president of the new HWA, has set this character in the ring against you. Your thoughts, please.
DW: I don’t care who the man is. When I fight someone, I will fight them one hundred percent, all out. I will take no prisoners, and that man is no exception. Craven can do what he wants. I’ll beat his pawn.
CLD: Dylan, with the HWA’s first pay per view about a month away, do you have any inclination as to whom you will be fighting against?
DW: As I said before, Carmine, it does not matter who I will be fighting. It matters what I’ll be fighting for. I assure you, Mr. Lo Duca, it will be for gold. Hardcore Wrestling Alliance Championship Gold. That is my prize.
Carmine turns to the camera.
CLD: There you have it, folks. Right here from Dylan Wolfe. I’m Carmine Lo Duca, signing off.
The scene changes back to the arena. Keith and Trent are having a conversation, and suddenly their microphones are turned on.
KK: And that’s the second woman in my house this week up and leaving.
TB: Oh! Hello, wrestling fans, we have Dan Sawyer vs. Kamikaze, no disqualification, now!
“You Must Be Mistaken” by Fokissed hits the speakers, and the fans have no discernable reaction as a whole. Some are pleased because the show begins, and others are booing because they hate Dan Sawyer. Either way, Sawyer enters from the backstage wearing his ring attire. He walks down the arena, bent on making an impact, and slides under the bottom rope. He turns around at midway to see Kamikaze. Kamikaze’s theme music plays, and the fans are on their feet. Kamikaze, a face, enters from the arena backstage, taking in the glow. He makes his way down to the ring and into it. Kamikaze immediately dashes for Sawyer, hits him, and the bell is rung.
KK: Sawyer, fight it!
TB: Kamikaze fighting Dan Sawyer for his return to the HWA. Kamikaze hits Sawyer with a DDT, compliments of the mat. Kamikaze is bouncing around in the ring, as if he couldn’t wait to get back into it. Sawyer is up now, and he dashes for Kamikaze. Sawyer goes for a clothesline, but bam! Sawyer cleaned out with a kick to the face!
KK: Sawyer will wake up in the morning and ask himself, “Why did I ever go for that clothesline?”
TB: Dan Sawyer to the ropes, and he is ready to take control of the match. Whoa! Another side lunge kick to Sawyer’s chin from Kamikaze!
KK: Sawyer needs to regroup if he plans on winning this match. Here comes Kamikaze!
Kamikaze clotheslines Sawyer over the ropes. Sawyer lands on the floor with a sickening thud. Kamikaze leaves the ring and picks Sawyer up by his hair.
TB: Keith, Kamikaze has destroyed Sawyer! Very quickly! Sawyer has to do something if he doesn’t want to go out fast!
KK: Yes! Sawyer throws Kamikaze into the ring post! Sawyer slides Kamikaze into the ring. It’s yours to win, Danny Boy!
Sawyer kicks Kamikaze. Dan picks him up and tosses him to the ropes. When Kamikaze gets back, Sawyer knees him in the gut. Kamikaze is out.
TB: Dan Sawyer has taken control of this match!
“When Worlds Collide” by Powerman 5000 hits the speakers unexpectedly. Sawyer stands up, and looks at the entranceway. Kamikaze is on the mat, moaning and rolling around. The song continues. Sawyer is ready for anything, his eyes on the entranceway, and Kamikaze two feet in front of him.
KK: What’s going on?!
TB: That used to be someone’s theme music. Whose was it?
Trent thinks, but no longer is that needed, as Ryan Maxem and Dylan Wolfe hop over the guardrail behind the ring. Both are holding chairs. Sawyer is none the wiser as they slide into the ring. On either side of him, just out of peripheral vision, they both hit him square on the side of his head at the same time. The crash of steel on skull is remarkable, and Sawyer drops to the canvas. The referee doesn’t know what to do. The crowd is going ballistic with cheers.
TB: Whoa! The Militia just clocked Sawyer! Dylan and Ryan destroyed him!
KK: This is complete bull! Call the match, ref!
TB: He can’t! This is a no disqualification match!
Dylan picks up Kamikaze and gives him a little slap on the face. Maxem and Wolfe duck out of the ring and leave. Dylan smiles just before he enters the back.
KK: Gutless! Complete trickery!
TB: Kamikaze for the cover!
WC: 1! 2! 3!
TB: Kamikaze beats Dan Sawyer, and Dylan Wolfe and Ryan Maxem get the assist!
KK: Dylan Wolfe has been screwing people over ever since we came back!
TB: What are you talking about? Dylan Wolfe always screwed over people.
KK: Oh.
Commercial Break
Inside Jason Craven’s Office.
JC: Damn it! Wolfe is a loose cannon! That guy has to be sorted out! He has to be dealt with! You! Are you ready for this?
Craven looks to the Janitor who will be facing Dylan.
TB: Dylan Wolfe and Ryan Maxem interfered in the last match, taking Dan Sawyer out of commission!
A clip shows the pair hitting Sawyer upside the head with chairs.
KK: Yeah, those bastards really deserve an ass kicking.
TB: Anyways, back from commercial, we are ready to go to our next match, as is the Janitor, who is already out in the ring.
Dylan Wolfe vs. HWA Janitor
The lights in the arena are reduced to a dim glow. The tint of the lights goes a cold, unforgiving blue. A wolf appears on the screen, sitting on a hill, silhouetted against the moon, howling its bittersweet moan. Fans in the audience know what is up, and they are immediately on their feet. The audio system starts up "Reconnect" by Sevendust, but even with its hardcore guitar sounds, it is not matched by the pop in the form of explosion the crowd gives their very own fan favorite. Unbelievably, they get even louder as Dylan Wolfe blasts out on stage, carrying the momentum of the crowd on his shoulders. He has on his wrestling pants with a special design, as well as the Brothers Wolfe t-shirt that used to dot the crowd, but now embodies it. Dylan walks in a fast pace down the steel ramp to the arena floor. Wolfe turns to look at the crowd to his left, who immediately begin shouting out cheers. Dylan struts toward them, high fiving the fans as he passes them. Turning toward the steel steps, he walks up them, every step gushing importance with the forthcoming match. Dylan reaches the ring apron, which he walks to the middle of, on the side facing the crowd. He raises a fist in the air, and in the audience, the same motion is seen endlessly. Then, like commanding a sea, Dylan Wolfe drops his fist viciously, and the waves of arms follow, the turnbuckles erupting with blue fireworks. Dylan turns his body to the ring, where he picks his left leg up, and follows it inside the ropes. Dylan stands straight, a specimen of a man, and awaits his match.
KK: Ring the bell, ref, I want this Janitor to whip Dylan’s ass.
The bell rings and the match is under way. They start by grappling in the center of the ring. Dylan wins the grapple and throws the Janitor into the ropes. Dylan picks him up and flapjacks him in the ring.
TB: Wow, Dylan has really upped the power in his wrestling. I’m impressed.
KK: Speaking of impressions, the Janitor made an impression on the mat. Whoa! Yes!
TB: Dan Sawyer has come into the arena and run down the ramp, holding the same steel chair that Dylan Wolfe hit him with before!
Dylan Wolfe sees, but acts as though he didn’t. Sawyer slides into the ring, receiving a boot to the face. Sawyer drops the chair. The Janitor is on his feet. He looks at Dylan, then at Sawyer. The two start kicking Sawyer on the mat, over and over. Sawyer is really getting pummeled. The Janitor picks Sawyer up by his hair, and Irish whips him to the ropes. Dylan slams Sawyer with the steel chair again.
TB: Sawyer is out cold!
The Janitor smiles and kicks Sawyer out of the ring. The Janitor turns to Dylan. Dylan throws the chair out and grins. The two resume their fight.
KK: I don’t believe this nonsense. Why did you interfere in Sawyer’s match, Wolfe?!
TB: Dylan kicks the Janitor in the midsection, and hits a DDT. Janitor back on his feet now, and Dylan goes for a clothesline. No! The Janitor catches his arm and puts a flawless armbar on Wolfe. DW responds by kicking the Janitor away. The Cleaner takes offense to this and goes for the clothesline on Wolfe, who slinks away and puts a boot to the Janitor’s midsection. Dylan Irish whips the Janitor to the ropes, and the Janitor responds by ducking a clothesline and continuing running. Dylan doesn’t miss this time!
Dylan clotheslines the Janitor so roughly that the Janitor flips over in the air before falling flat on his stomach.
KK: What a clothesline!
TB: Dylan grabs the Janitor by the hair and pulls him up. Dylan throws the Janitor into the ropes again, following this time. Dylan with a running clothesline! The Janitor is outside the ring, on the arena floor! He is hurt!
KK: Get up, kid!
TB: Dylan runs to the opposite side of the ring. I don’t know what he’s thinking.
Dylan sizes up his jump. The Janitor is stirring, and he stands up.
KK: What the hell is he going to do?
Dylan runs across the ring and throws his body right into the Janitor. The Janitor is knocked against the barrier, making a loud slapping sound. Dylan grabs the Janitor and throws him inside the ring.
TB: Dylan is having a good match, he seems to be on top of his game.
KK: The Janitor will have a comeback.
The Janitor is quick to his feet, where he surprises Dylan with a Fisherman’s Suplex.
KK: Fisherman on Dylan! Good show!
TB: Dylan back on his feet, however, and both players have some momentum going.
KK: The Janitor will do something here!
The Janitor is the aggressor. Dylan backs up to the ropes, and the Janitor runs at him. Dylan ducks down and Samoan Slams the Janitor to the arena floor. Dylan climbs the top rope.
KK: Dylan Wolfe going to do something!
The Janitor stirs just in time to get a missile dropkick right to his face. The man slams to the ground again, bleeding on the face.
TB: Dylan Wolfe is on fire! Dylan picks him up and tosses him in the ring. What are we looking at here, Keith?
KK: We are looking at the Janitor playing possum. Oldest trick in the book.
TB: Are you so sure of that?
Dylan throws the Janitor to the ropes. He runs right into Dylan, who picks him up one-handed by the chest and slams him hard.
TB: The DW Special! That should be it!
WC: 1!
KK: Get up!
WC: 2!
KK: Come on Janitor!
WC: No count! His shoulder was up!
TB: Close call for the Janitor there. Dylan picks him up and sets him up for the Punishment Wolfe.
KK: This is going to be slightly harder to kick out of.
Dylan slams him down on the back of his neck with authority.
TB: That’s the Punishment Wolfe! This is over!
WC: 1!
KK: No, he’s got more!
WC: 2!
TB: This could be it!
WC: 3!
The bell rings, and Dylan gets off the Janitor. Dylan stands up, and his hand is raised.
TB: Dylan Wolfe scores a win against Jason Craven’s hired gun!
“Reconnect” by Sevendust hits the arena speakers once again. Dylan leaves the ring and moves up the ramp. He turns and walks up backwards, savoring his victory.
KK: This is a travesty.
TB: Unlike last week, his win this week isn’t really up for debate. It was clean, and it was good.
KK: Whatever, meathead.
Commercial Break
The scene opens in Craven’s office, again. Craven looks absolutely pissed.
JC: How could you do that? I can’t believe you’d knock off Sawyer! You should have helped him!
The Janitor sits there, taking in every word. He rubs his neck, right where it hit the canvas.
JC: You’re suspended for a week. I’m not going to take that crap from you.
Janitor: Fine. I’ll be back in your office next week to scrub your windows.
The Janitor walks out of the room and closes the door. Craven stares at the door, mean as ever.
The scene changes back to the arena, with Keith Kincaid and Trent Brown.
TB: Craven with harsh words for his failed attempt to hurt Dylan Wolfe.
KK: He’ll get him in the end.
TB: Whatever. The main event is up, and we are ready! The fans know it is coming, as they chant.
Audience: HERO! HERO! HERO! HERO!
KK: They really love that putz.
TB: Well, they don’t love you, and you’re a putz.
KK: Yah, tell me about it. Let’s get this show on the road.
“Kryptonite” by 3 Doors Down plays and The Real Hero comes out with a cape on his shoulders. He runs down the ramp, slapping hands as he goes along and enters the ring, raising his hands to provoke adulation and cheers from the audience. “King of My World” by Saliva hits the speakers. The fans could be more appreciative of Conner, but the boos rain like shit on him.
KK: They should respect him. He could kick all of their asses!
TB: The only ass he needs to kick is The Real Hero. TRH is in top form, Keith. You think that’s going to happen?
KK: I can pray.
TB: Then pray.
Kevin Conner and The Real Hero square off. TRH punches Conner. Conner returns the favor, and we are under way.
TB: Conner with a Manhattan Drop, that’s gotta hurt.
KK: He’ll work in more moves like that.
TB: Ones that leave your balls open and sensitive?
KK: Precisely.
TB: Conner throws TRH into the ropes. TRH returns with a running clothesline on Conner, and was that hard or what!
KK: I feel for Conner.
TB: We all know you do. Conner back on his knees, and a Low Blow by Conner! What a cheap shot!
KK: Well, that settles it. Conner needs to kick some ass.
TB: Conner on his feet now, and in control of the match with a DDT. That seems to be the move of choice tonight, eh, Keith?
KK: They are hitting that move a lot. Maybe if you hit five in a match, you get a free hamburger at George Webb’s.
Trent looks over at Keith as though he is an idiot. Just then, Conner lands right in front of their ring table.
KK: Whoa! What’s going on!
TB: It seems as though Kevin Conner has been thrown out of the ring by The Real Hero!
KK: Damn it to hell!
Kevin Conner stirs, and TRH kicks him in the chest. Conner rolls over and moans in pain. TRH picks him up and Irish whips him into the steel guardrail. The guardrail is knocked over, and Conner feels the pain in his back.
TB: Kevin Conner gets the guardrail in the back! This is pandemonium here on SNS!
The Real Hero grabs Conner by the hair and starts moving with him. He pulls him up the ramp to the stage. The Real Hero kicks Conner in the gut.
TB: No way. Don’t do this TRH!
KK: You bastard! Don’t!
The Real Hero sets up the Heroic Ending. He pulls Conner up to Powerbomb position, then pushes his body out. Conner falls the full fifteen feet and lands unforgiving on the concrete below.
KK: NO!
TB: Oh my god! Oh my god! KFC is on the ground and he is out!
The Real Hero makes his way down the ramp. Wallace Cunningham is by Conner, checking him out. He pushes Conner on his back, and the horror is revealed. Conner’s face is mangled, and his upper body is bloodied.
TB: Heroic Ending fifteen feet to the cement floor! No way! TRH!
The Real Hero goes for the cover.
WC: 1! 2! 3!
The bell is rung, and TRH stands up. Cunningham and trainers come to take a look at Conner. “Kryptonite” by 3 Doors Down hits the speakers again. The Real Hero walks back up the ramp, and stands at the edge of the stage, where they bring the stretcher in.
TB: This is complete hell! The Real Hero destroyed Kevin Conner!
KK: He should be fired! Blatant disregard for Conner’s well being!
TB: These wounds run deep, Keith! This is only the beginning of this feud!
Dan Sawyer appears on the stage. He carries a new steel chair, and aims for The Real Hero. The Real Hero turns around.
TB: Sawyer with the chair!
Before Sawyer can hit him, Dylan Wolfe runs out and clubs out Sawyer’s knees with a sledge hammer.
TB: Pandemonium! All the main event wrestlers are out on the stage now! Sawyer is broken! Conner is destroyed! The Real Hero is victorious! Dylan Wolfe is on fire!
KK: This is complete and utter bullshit! I can’t believe these guys are not fired on the spot!
TB: No, don’t do this!
Dylan Wolfe and The Real Hero, brought together, pick up an injured Dan Sawyer. They throw him over the edge, down to Conner. Sawyer knocks over 3 EMT’s after his fall. Dylan Wolfe and The Real Hero raise their hands in unison. The enormous pop they receive is unbelievable.
Keith Kincaid is beside himself. Trent Brown is completely surprised by the turn of events.
TB: Fan favorites united! Sawyer and Conner are destroyed! They are demolished! This is Trent Brown, for Keith Kincaid, who may need EMT’s himself, as he is going into shock, signing off for HWATV! We’ll see you next week!
