Some highlights of previous historical Wednesday Night Warzone's play and shortly after, "Mistakes" by Godsmack hits and Morgoth appears at the top of the ramp, microphone in hand, and the HWA World Heabyweight Title over one shouler.
MG: Ladies and Gentlemen - welcome BACK to Wednesday Night Warzone! And what a night we have in store for you on this special one off return edition of the show. I'd just like to remind everyone that this was my great idea!
TB: Here he goes.....
MF: Thats right. I haven't run the HWA into the ground as you all predicted, it's all absolutely 100% fine!
The camera goes to the back and Anderson is there, watching on a monitor. He has a resigned smile on his face and is shaking his head.
MG: Later tonight, we'll see the top 8 competitors in the HWA go at it for a chance at this, the HWA World Heavyweight title.
Morgoth regards the title for a moment before holding it aloft for all to see.
TB: Thats a title that Morgoth himself never won by the way for those keeping score at home folks.
MG: But first, lets get the show on the road!
KK: I think Kevin Conner might have something to say about that, Trent.
TB: Perhaps so. Kevin Conner seems to have something to say about a lot of people recently.
"Jump Around" by House of Pain hits and the crowd jump up and down in time with the music as Shawn Clover makes his entrance.
KK: Wow, I have to say, Shawn Clover got a pretty good reception there considering the short length of time he has been here in the HWA.
TB: Thats right. Shawn Clover is a popular character, though he is still looking for his first win.
"Point of No Return" by Immortal Technique hits and the crowd go nuts for Nate Hartman. Nate though, doesn't appear at the top of the ramp.
TB: Hmmm, ok, this is weird....
"Point of No Return" by Immortal Technique hits again, but with the same result.
"Step Up" by Drowning Pool hits and all eyes are at the top of the ramp as Commisioner Anderson walks down the ramp way, and grabs a mike.
ADA: Hey HWA, whats up?!
Anderson gets the usual huge pop.
ADA: 'Fraid I got some bad news for you. Hartman didn't make it. His flight got cancelled at the last minute. We are sorry to let you all down, but hey, we got TITTIES!!
KK: What the hell?
Sure enough, A trio of stunningly beatiful young ladies in various states of undress make their way down to the ring. The lead dancer of the three, a voluptuous brunette, is the first to enter the ring. They all flirt around Anderson. He allows himself to enjoy the moment, before he then points to the fans. The girls then turn outwards and start to strip.......
KK: OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! LOOK AT THE~~~~~
At that point the TV feed is cut short and we get one of those "HWA will be back with you as soon as is possible" notices, with some Middle Of The Road piano music in the background.
The feed returns and the girls have gone.
TB: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back to Wednesday Night Warzone, a night we always promised would live up to it's reputation!
KK: Thats right. Within 5 minutes we got taken off the air! But I tell you what, I can promise you that we, here, live, got a great show in the last ten minutes! I need a cold shower!!
TB: While Keith takes his cold shower, we have a pre-taped interview with The Celtic Warrior Kevin Conner.
(The camera then goes backstage and Conner is standing in front of a grey backdrop with blue light hitting it.)
Kevin Conner: How come no one does old school promos anymore? Well maybe I am going to bring back the fad. Now lets get down to business. Many of you all saw me at an orphanage reading to underprivileged children who have no parents and no one to love them during the time of year we all need love the most. So since everyone is still in the holiday mood and Hanukkah is still going on. So I thought I should write you another story. But then I thought screw story form I’ll just tell you what I have to say. Tonight its HWA Vs CFO. Team HWA, with two former HWA World Heavyweight Champions, you got four former Tag Team specialist, three former HWA International Champions and a combined almost thirty years in the wrestling industry between us all. On paper that looks pretty good. But you look at who the people are Morgoth a man working through his ring rust that hasn’t won a title for almost three years. Not to disrespect my partners but why would I want to tag someone like that in the ring. The Real Hero, a man that disrespected me and practically made career suicide when he didn’t want to return my phones calls. See I can’t help that I’m so great but I can help you! I can make anyone famous as soon as they step in the ring with me. Look at Judge, I brought out the best in him, while it wasn’t very much it was brought out a week and a half ago at Sunday Night Survival. See this is the last HWA event of the year and I’m going out on top. Hero and Judge are two people I wouldn’t want to tag in simply because if I’m not on the other side of the ring, the fans will leave and the fact that they are both seven foot tall pieces of shit. Neither one has what it takes anymore and haven’t beaten anyone since they’ve been here.
Kevin Conner: The Real Hero did not beat ME, Pocket Change beat me. Everyone knows I was screwed and its ok because now I’m moving on to bigger and better things. See this match I can win by myself and when I do I should be awarded the HWA World Heavyweight Championship right there. I’m the best thing going today. I’m just incredible, now get that confused with Justin Credible, I’m just simply incredible. I bring the money, that highest rated parts of the shows week in and week out are my match, whether it’s the main event or not, if my names on the card people are tuning in to catch “The Celtic Warrior” at his best. See I used to be referred to as The One, The Real Life Legend, Mr. Prime Time, The MEGA-Superstar, The Hardcore Icon Kevin Conner! Those names weren’t just gimmicks or slogans to sell T-shirts. They were facts. And even today just because I don’t use them doesn’t mean they don’t stand true today. Tonight I will prove that by beating down, Shawn Clover, Kevin Hurts, Tiger Knight, and Pocket Change, that I should be the next HWA World Heavyweight Champion because THAT’S JUST THE WAY I AM!!!
B.Y.O.B. by System of a Down hits and Kevin Hurts makes his way down to the ring, the X-Treme Title over his shoulder.
KK: Ya know, I kinda like Kevin Hurts. The kid is growing on me.
TB: Careful, everyone will think he's the HWA's golden child!
KK: But he DOES have a great record since he joined the fed.
TB: Well I think this next match will be one which will make or break him.
KK: If he can defeat the Real Hero, and put the International Title out of action, people will start taking notice.
TB: Morgoth already has.
KK: Yeah. What WAS that all about?
TB: Where does Morgoth's allegiance lie?
KK: Who knows.
Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down hits and The Real Hero makes his way down to the ring, proudly wearing his International Title Belt.
TB: The Real Hero HAS to be the favourite here don't you think?
KK Experience alone should give him the edge. Yeah, I agree.
The bell rings and the referee holds both title belts in the air before the bell rings. Kevin Hurts holds out his hand. The Real Hero looks at Hurts and glances at the crowd. They cheer. TRH shakes Kevin Hurts' hand and the match gets underway.
TB: Wow. Thats quite a gesture considering those two will be fighting against each other for a shot at the world title later!
KK: True, but for these two men, this match is arguably MORE important as it's about gold they already have!
They tie up. Hero flips Hurts to the side and floors him with a round-house. Hurts is straight back up though and clotheslines Hero to the floor. He quickly drops an elbow on Hero's arm. Hero immediately rolls over, clutching his left shoulder. He tries to pull himself up on the ropes but he's clearly in agony.
TB: Woah. Looks like Hero could have a dislocated shoulder here.
KK: Shit, this is not good at all.
Hero's face gets more and more red as the pain takes a hold of his body. Hurts looks at Hoer, his arms stretched wide in a 'what do i do' pose. The referee indicates to Hurts that he should pin Hero and end it. Hurts is clearly in two minds. He looks over at Hero. Hero nods. Hurts covers Hero and gets the pin.
TB: Kevin Hurts just retired in the International Title belt!
KK: But Hero is injured, and injured badly.
As the EMTs get Hero out of the ring, Hurts puts Hero's shoulder around himself and walks Hero up the ramp. Hero pauses and turns and gets a true hero's reception for making it back up the ramp under his own steam.
TB: A lot of respect there paid on Hero by Hurts.
KK: Yeah. Rare in this day and age. But the bigger story is that the HWA has a new secondary title, and it's called the X-Treme Championship.
TB: And Kevin Hurts is our champion!
(The camera picks up in the back and we see Kevin Conner stretching out and Erin Wallace comes up to him.)
Erin Wallace:
“So I said good bye to my parents on Monday. Did you like what they got you?”
Kevin Conner:
“They got me a book.”
Erin Wallace:
“You always needed to read more.”
Kevin Conner:
“A book about man murdering a famous actor because he fell in love with his daughter.”
Erin Wallace:
“Sounds like a good book.”
Kevin Conner:
“Sounds like my life is at risk to me but hey!”
Erin Wallace:
“So are you confident about what’s going to happen tonight?”
Kevin Conner:
“Am I confident? Of course I am, Erin you’re look at “The Celtic Warrior” against the CFO, remember what CFO stands for, Cleary Fags Organization.”
Erin Wallace:
“What about Kevin Hurts, he was never in the HWA. He’s dangerous, I mean he’s a freak.”
Kevin Conner:
“So this dude wants to call himself “The Freak” I’m sorry he was made fun of all through school but the name wasn’t a compliment and he stuck with it. I mean look what he does when he comes out. He wants to tell me how the truth hurts… The truth feels good because the truth is that I’m going to win this match single handedly and beat four the worst wrestlers n the HWA in one night. Now that’s the truth because that’s just the way I am!”
(The camera then goes back to ringside)
"Mistakes" by Godsmack hits and Team HWA, comprising of Judge, Conner, and being led by HWA President Morgoth, make their way to the ring, largely to cheers. They gather in the ring and talk tactics waiting for their opponents.
TB: I guess due to the shoulder injury, Hero is out of this match.
KK: Shit yeah, now HWA start a man down.
"Money" by Pink Floyd hits and Team CFO make their way to the ring. Led by Pocket Change, Team CFO is made up of Shawn Clover and Tiger Knight. Making up their numbers is non-CFO member Kevin Hurts.
KK: Nice choice of theme music there by Pocket Change!
TB: Heh, a classic! Gotta love the Floyd!
Team CFO decide that Tiger Knight will start for their team, whereas Morgoth starts for Team HWA.
KK: So many ego's in this match, a lot of combustible elements.
TB: You're not wrong. There really is no telling how this match is going to end up.
Tiger Knight comes straight out and tries a power move on Morgoth, but the much bigger Morgoth pushes TK away. Knight hits the ropes though and showing great agility manages to spring back and drop kick Morgoth. Morgoth falters but doesn't go down. TK next returns to the ropes and hits a springboard headscissors, this time taking Morgoth down to the floor. TK hits a standing moonsault before tagging in team-mate Shawn Clover. Clover, being bigger than TK stands toe to toe with Morgoth, and the two men trade blows. Morgoth throws a huge right which would surely have knocked out Clover, but Clover kicks Morgoth into next week with a superkick.
TB: Wow, great move from Clover there.
KK: Yeah, but TK set that up.
Morgoth has tagged in Conner who leaps over the top rope and takes Clover down with a speak.
TB: These two have been on something of a collision course ever since Clover came to the HWA and started calling himself something of an Irish icon.
KK: Surely there's room for more than one Irishman in the HWA?! I mean, what if Tristan Wolfe ever returned?!
TB: Good point, but I think the pride of these two men wouldn't let either get a clear run!
Conner tries a triangle choke on Clover, but the referee calls for a break. Clover's throat is hurt and he struggles to breathe but Conner is relentless and locks on a sleeper.
KK: Conner thinks it's 1988 still!
TB: The sleeper is still a damned powerful move Keith, you of all people should know that.
Clover fails the 'arm test' twice but predictably is able to keep his arm up on the third time of asking. He elbows Conner twice, Conner clutches his stomach and Clover lays him out flat with a huge clothesline. Clover then returns to his corner and tags in Pocket Change. Conner is just about back to his feet by the time Change gets to him. Change attempts to lock on the headlock for a DDT, but Conner reverses, grabs Change's arm and attempts the arm bar. Change is able to make it to the ropes and the hold is broken.
TB: This is surprising me, we're actually seeing a lot of good quality wrestling here.
KK: Watch out, I think that is about to change!
Sure enough, Judge entered the ring illegally and planted Change with a chair shot while his back was turned.
KK: What a cheating bastard.
TB: HWA is a HARDCORE federation, Keith. It's allowed!
KK: Well ok, but why can't Judge play fair?!
Judge storms over to the other corner and hits Clover, Hurts and TK with chair shots. They all collapse onto the padded area around the ring. Judge returns to the ring, plants a shot on pocket change once more, and then drags Conner over Change. The referee counts, but the 3 count is broken up when Shawn Clover pulled the referee out of the ring.
TB: What the hell does Judge have against Pocket Change so bad?
KK: I dunno, but I think the two have had strong words over the past week.
Conner, incensed with Clover's actions leaps out of the ring and at Shawn Clover in a suicide dive. The two men continue to brawl on the outside of the ring while Judge and Morgoth enter the ring and start fighting Kevin Hurts and Tiger Knight. Pocket Change recovers and returns to the ring with the ring bell. He takes down Judge using the bell from behind. Morgoth sees this and when Change attempts the same thing on him, He is met by Morgoth's big boot, causing the ring bell to connect with Change's own skull.
TB: Holy shit. If Change doesn't have a broken cheek bone then i'm seriously surprised.
Tiger Knight goes straight for Mogoth and hits him with The Tigereye (Diamond Cutter). Tiger Knight covers Morgoth while Kevin Hurts prevents anyone from Team HWA entering the ring. 1-2-3 and it's over! Tiger Knight pinned Morgoth!
TB: Wow, huge result for Team CFO here with TK pinning the president!
KK: Surely there will be repercussions for that! You can't just go around treating your boss like that!
TB: Yeah well TK just did!
KK: So it's now 4 on 2! Team HWA are outnumbered heavily. The next two men in are Judge and Kevin Hurts. Kevin comes straight on the offence but he is seriously outweighed by Judge. Judge forces Hurts into a corner and rains down blows on Hurts. Hurts is quickly bust open and starts to bleed heavily. Hurts manages to fight back with a couple of well placed elbows, and then starts to climb the turnbuckle backwards. He hooks his arms around Judges neck, trying for the DDT. Judge though manages to carry Hurts around the ring despite the fact that he is hanging off his neck. Judge turns Hurts' DDT into a sidewalk slam. Hurts hits the mat with a hard thud, Judge covers, 1-2-kickout by Hurts at the last possible minute.
KK: LOOK AT POCKET CHANGE!!
Sure enough, Pocket Change is holding a sign which says Fuck You Judge! Judge sees this and charges over to the CFO corner. He goes for a big boot again, but Tiger Knight is too quick, and they quickly have Judge tied up with one leg either side of the ropes. Shawn Clover is on the top turnbuckle and performs a flying clothesline on Judge, both men go clumsily to the ground. Back in the ring, Kevin Conner has entered the ring and starts trading blows with Kevin Hurts.
TB: The battle of the Kevins now!
KK: You get paid a lot of money to say shit like that?!
TB: More than you!
Despite the fact that Conner's team-mate Judge is getting the shit kicked out of him by 3 members of team CFO, Conner doesn't seem too bothered, and instead starts trading holds with Kevin Hurts. The two find that each performs a move which cancels the other out. Eventually, Hurts sees Clover return to the corner and tags him in instead. Conner is certainly not unhappy about this, as the feud of the rival Irish-men can continue.
KK: Conner seems unbothered about helping Judge.
TB: Well they may be on the same team, but I think Conner can't help but enjoy the fact that Judge is taking a beating.
KK: I'd have thought they'd have worked together for the common goal.
TB: Perhaps their personal vendetta goes back too far.
Conner soon gets the better of Shawn Clover, and applies the Career Killer (Walls Of Jericho). Somehow, the rest of Team CFO seem not to have noticed as they're all too busy fighting Judge. Clover resists for a while but finally has to tap out.
KK: First casualty in the war o' the Irish!
Seeing that nobody has stepped up to take Clover's place, Conner bounces off the ropes, runs across the ring and performs a picture perfect Leap Of Faith over the top rope and knocks down Pocket Change, Kevin Hurts, Tiger Knight and Judge who were fighting outside, all at once like a bunch of skittles. The crowd chants Holy Shit at the move from Conner. Tiger Knight is the first to recover and he re-enters the ring, taunting an already battered and bruised Judge to come back and fight him. Judge does so, though weerily. He steps over the top rope and is met with a flying crossbody from TK. Judge catches him and hits a fallaway slam. Next, Judge picks TK up and hits The Wrath of Judgement (Powerbomb in a Chokeslam). TK slums to the mat and Judge makes the pin 1-2-3. Tk is out.
TB: Wow, I never thought they'd do it, Judge and Conner have evened the score! It's 2 on 2!
KK: I never doubted Team HWA. I mean, you've got two bona fide HWA legends here in Conner and Judge. They're hardly going to be walked all over.
TB: No indeed not, and they've taken out two of the CFO now. Can they go the whole distance?
KK: Gonna be a tough one that Trent. See, there were only three of them to begin with, now that Hero seperated his shoulder. Conner, and especially Judge have both taken far more abuse than their CFO counterparts; Pocket Change and Kevin Hurts.
Judge is still slumped in the ring. It took great effort for him to perform that Wrath Of Judgement, and now he is struggling to get back to his feet.
TB: All that out of ring fighting that took place has just about finished Judge off.
Pocket Change enters the ring and quickly climbs a turnbuckle. He hits the Here's Your Change (Top-Rope 360 Leg Drop) on Judge and makes the cover. 1-2-Judge's foot was on the rope. Incensed, Change drops 5 consecutive elbows on Judge. Judge is barely able to protect himself. Next, Hurts enters the ring and holds Judge down. Change climbs the turnbuckle once more and again hits the Here's Your Change. This time, Judge can't get his leg to the ropes and he is eliminated.
TB: Down to 2 on 1 now, Hurts and Change versus Conner.
KK: No wait, something's brewing.
Judge looks like he has murder in his eyes, he turns first from Kevin Hurts and then to Pocket Change, as if deciding who he will take it out of. Instead, he walks to the Team HWA corner. He grabs Conner and Gorilla Presses him, throwing him into the centre of the ring. He drops an elbow on Conner before hitting him with the Wrath of Judgement.
TB: Oh my freakin' God I can't believe what we are seeing!
KK: Judge just annihlated Conner! YES YES YES!
TB: And that makes you HAPPY, Keith?!
KK: Well it makes perfect sense. Judge and Conner don't like each other. Not one bit, and when there was a world title shot at stake, they put their differences aside. Sort of. Judge just got eliminated, and Conner stood by on the sidelines. He didn't interfere.
TB: He wasn't meant to!
KK: But he could have. Judge just achieved two things. He weakened his biggest rival in the HWA at the same time as getting revenge for Conner's lack of help when he needed it to get the World Title shot.
Judge leaves the ring and walks back up the ramp. Kevin Hurts goes to pin Conner, but Pocket Change pulls him off. Hurts gets right back in Change's face and pushes him. Change stumbles for a moment then stares Hurts in the face, and pushes him right back. Change trips over Conner and lies over him. The referee makes the count just as Hurts also covers Conner. With the two men draped over him, and having just been Wrath of Judgement-ed, Conner has no chance - 1-2-3 and it's over. Team CFO pick up the win.
TB: Wow. Simply wow. What a night of wrestling. Quite possibly one of the most exciting and contraversial nights we've ever had.
KK: Next week, it's Kevin Hurts v Pocket Change v Tiger Knight v Shawn Clover in a Fatal Four way World Heavyweight Title match!
TB: I've also had word from Anderson that next week, Kevin Hurts will have to defend his X-Treme Championship too, as per the rules of the belt. Anderson has hand picked his opponent - Pocket Change!
KK: Oh you just know that Pocket Change will love that! Those two can't breathe the same air. We just had that re-confirmed to us tonight!
TB: Also, in a number one contenders match for the HWA title, yes, those two HWA legends will fight once more in a steel cage, it'll be Judge versus Conner!
KK: Oh my Lord! Anderson has stacked next week's card with HUGE matches!
TB: And don't forget folks that the next time we see you it will be Sunday Night Survival once more, on the 8th January.
KK: And then set your calendars and diaries to 15th Jan, because it's our first Pay Per View of 2006 - Eve of Extinction!! But for me Keith Kincaid, and from him, Trent Brown, it's goodnight!
As HWA Wednesday Night Warzone closes instead of seeing the HWA logo we see the letters NGW and people laughing in the background.
