Sunday Storm 08 Dec 01

Memphis Pike: Welcome fans to a special Sunday night house show called Storm! Hopefully if this show is a ratings hit, it might be coming to the fans every week! Everyone knows me as the newest commentator here in GZW as Memphis Pike, but I would like to introduce my broadcast partner, Holly Fortune!!

Holly: Hello out there! Yes, Kandi and Nikita Fortune are my sisters before anyone asks!

Pike: We will have some special challenge matches tonight. The war between the Peacekeepers and What Money Can Buy continues to intensify. Gideon and Manic will represent their respective groups here on The Storm. They will take part in what most people call a "hardcore" match. What do you think about that, Holly?

Holly: Well, Gideon came to GZW from HKWF trying to get away from these type matches and a no DQ match is a perfect way NOT to do it!

Pike: Also tonight, we will be paying respect to some of old school as we watch a vintage matchup of “The Fairplay Enforcer” Firefly against Union Jack!

Holly: I have heard these two as well as Pimp Bizkit and my ex-brother in law, Tate, have a very colorful past together!!

Pike: Our main event will be the first Television title defense of Maxx Pain against the developmental wrestler, Big John! Let’s get right to the ring!

--- No Disqualification Match: Manic Depression vs. “The Far East Beast” Gideon---

Manic Depression makes down to the ring to the tune of “Denial”, but before he can make it to the ring, Gideon jumps him from behind.

Pike: Seems as if Gideon is starting this match in the aisle!

Holly: I don’t think that is fair! I thought “The Far East Beast” was suppose to be a man of justice! I think all the wrestlers should wear nametags with their alignment on it!

Gid slams Manic's head on the rail. He drags him to the ringside area. Gid whips Manic into the steel steps. Gid charges, but Manic lifts him up and drops him face first on the steps. Manic rolls Gid into the ring. Manic gets a chair. He climbs to the top corner and hits a flying chair shot on Gideon.

Pike: Feel me!! What elevation Manic Depression got before he lowered the boom on Gideon!

Holly: I never really realized how ultra violent this business is!

Manic waffles Gid several times across the back. Manic lays the chair on Gideon's face. Manic bounces off the ropes and hits a leg drop on the chair on Gid's face.

Pike: Manic is performing reconstructive surgery on Gideon's face!

Holly: Wasn’t that move called a Pakistan faceruster?

Pike: (a slight chuckle) I think you mean an Arabian facebuster, Holly!

Manic whips Gid into the corner. Manic charges in with the chair, but Gideon gets both feet up and kicks the chair into the face of Manic. Gideon grabs the chair and takes his turn at bat on Manic.

Pike: Listen to that sickening sound! Manic's back is getting beat like a dirty rug!

Holly: After Gideon is finished he should stop by my apartment! I have plenty of dirty rugs!

Pike: That was actually quite funny, Holly!

Holly: (serious) OH! I wasn’t trying to be!!

Gid takes a page out of Manic's book and places the chair on Manic's face. Gideon goes up to the top turnbuckle.

Pike: My god if he hits this...

But the Far East Beast does not get the chance as Manic's fellow What Money Can Buy members Epic and Eclipse come to the ring and knock Gideon off the top.

Holly: What the hell? And this is all legal because there is no DQ, huh, Memphis?

Pike: Unfortunately so, Holly! Safety in numbers!

Epic and Eclipse beat down Gideon. Manic gets up, locks in a front face neck breaker and drops Gid's face onto the chair. Manic sadistically picks him up again and drops him one more time.

Holly: They are so tough when it is three on one!

Pike: That seems to be the state of mind in wrestling today! Nothing but a gang mentality!

Manic mercifully covers Gideon for the three count. But WMCB is not done as they lay the boots to Gideon. Suddenly, running down the rampway is Diamond Sledge with his sledgehammer. Manic leaves the ring. Diamond cracks the huge hammer into the ribs of Epic and one for Eclipse as well. Diamond lifts up Eclipse and drops him in with his Diamonds Are Forever.

Holly: Diamond cleared the ring of the What Money Can Buy guys!

Pike: This war is far from over between the Peacekeepers and WMCB!

WMCB leave the ring as Diamond stands on the turnbuckle, staring down the rulebreakers.

---Vintage Match: HKWF World Heavyweight Match: Sho “Firefly” Murakame vs. Union Jack---

Pike: Well Holly, up next we dig into the endless vaults of the GroundZero Enterprises to pay witness to one of the most memorable matches in HKWF history!!

Holly: I thought the last match was violent, wait until you fans see this this!

Pike: Without further ado, pay attention to the Zero-tron!

[Four years ago.]

“Firefly” Sho Murakame V Union Jack

HKWF Title Match August 1997

Siu Ann Wong and Jackie Lee (colour) commentating.

“I AM THE GOD OF HELLFIRE, AND I BRING YOU… FIRE!” blasts over the less than top of the range sound system of the small, but well filled arena. The crowd cheer loudly for the hero of their country. “Fire” by the Prodigy kicks in and there is a brief blast of fire on the entranceway. A somewhat young and less well-built Firefly comes through the entranceway and holds up a flaming stick. He wears orange tights with Firefly written down one leg, and the same in Cantonese down the other.

Firefly walks to the ring running his hand across the crowd. There is an announcement in Cantonese, but an English one follows it.

“The following match is the barbed wire ladder match for the HKWF heavyweight title! Introducing first, the challenger from Hong Kong, ‘Firefly’ Sho Murakame.”

Firefly hits the ring and ascends a turnbuckle. He brings the stick to his mouth and blows a flammable powder into it. A flame erupts and a huge fireball blasts upwards. The crowd cheer loudly.

Siu Ann:

“Huge fan base for Firefly. The crowd love his hardcore, high-flying style.”

Jackie:

“You mean they don’t notice that he jumps around the ring because he has no real talent, unlike…”

The heavy bass of “Breathe” by the Prodigy hits the sound system, and a muscular man wearing Union Jack shorts and boots struts onto the entranceway holding a title belt and a mike. He also has a large Union Jack tied around his neck. He thrusts the belt onto the air with a nasty laugh.

Jackie:

“My man Union Jack! The best technical wrestler in the world.”

UJ brings his thumb across his throat.

UJ:

“Cut the music!”

The music is cut.

UJ:

“So Britain is to give Hong Kong back to China? Well guess what? We don’t want this poxy little bit of land! It’s INFESTED with people like the fans of the HKWF! Your food is lousy, your culture is stolen from us, and worst of all, your English accents are shit!”

The crowd boo loudly.

UJ:

“I don’t give a shit about your silly little fed, but I do give a shit about utterly destroying your hero ‘Firefly’ Sho Murakame! The Chinese may be able to take away what’s ours, but I’m going to take away your hero! I’ve beaten you once Murakame… for this belt in fact… but this time I’m going to hurt you so much that you’ll have to retire… PERMANENTLY! Hit my music!”

“Breathe” kicks back in and UJ takes the flag from around his neck. He leans to one side (think HBK), and flexes his muscles with the flag in one hand and the belt in the other.

Jackie:

“UJ is the man! Look at that physique.”

Siu Ann:

“But his attitude stinks!”

Jackie:

“Who cares when you’re as good as UJ? Also, listen to his entrance music: his is recent; Firefly’s is ancient. Breathe is from the new album, Fire is a rave tune for God’s sake! The Prodigy have progressed, but Firefly hasn’t. I predict it’ll be 2 – 0 to UJ after this match!”

UJ struts to the ring flicking the Vs at the crowd and Firefly. Firefly just looks angry. He reaches the ring, throws the belt at the ref, and holds his flag high in the air, smiling nastily.

“And his opponent, he is the HKWF heavyweight champion, from Wigan, England… Union Jack!”

The ref ascends a ladder to hang the belt from the roof. The ladder is passed to a member of staff who takes it to the entranceway.

Despite UJ’s back being to him as he further taunts the fans, Firefly refuses to sneak attack, and waits for him to get in the ring. The bell rings. UJ and FF circle one another.

Siu Ann:

“This extreme match can only be won by the retrieval of the belt from the suspension above.”

Jackie:

“Even if UJ tears FF apart on those barb wire ring ropes, he can carry on doing it legally until he decides to climb the ladder and get his belt back.”

Firefly dummies UJ with a left hook, and then spins around to take his legs away with a sweep. UJ grabs Firefly’s legs from the floor, and punches Firefly directly in the groin. Firefly collapses in pain.

Siu Ann:

“Oh my God! That was SO vicious!”

Jackie:

“Perfectly legal! The most vicious will win this match!”

UJ pulls FF up by the hair, and puts his head between his legs. He smiles nastily and flicks the Vs at the crowd.

Siu Ann:

“Oh no! Not yet”

Jackie:

“Yes! Yes! Yes! Jack Hammer!”

Firefly powers out and back body drops UJ. Firefly runs to the nearest turnbuckle and jumps onto it. UJ gets up to be met by a picture perfect missile drop kick to the chest. The momentum sends his back into the barbed wire ring ropes. He cries in pain as blood trickles down his back from a few small punctures.

Jackie:

“See what I mean about no skill so he has to jump about?”

Siu Ann:

“You don’t call that skill?”

Jackie:

“I could do that!”

Siu Ann:

“Yeah, right!”

Firefly runs at UJ and hits a cross body, sending them both flying over the top ‘rope’. The attack cuts some nasty little gashes in UJ’s already punctures back. Firefly gets up, and onto the apron. He ascends the turnbuckle and turns to UJ who is struggling to get up. Firefly turns his back to him and throws himself backwards for a moonsault… but UJ catches him in the upside down position! UJ steadies himself, and then bounces Firefly’s head off the matted floor with a tombstone piledriver!

Jackie:

“Oh yeah! That’s what you get when you do those stupid high risk moves!”

Siu Ann:

UJ could have just knocked the Firefly out! If he has, this match is all over!”

Firefly is not moving. UJ kicks him, and his limp body doesn’t move. UJ smiles nastily, and walks over to the ladder, collapses it, and picks it up. As he walks past the unmoving body of Firefly, he kicks him again to check and gets the same result as before. UJ enters ring, and puts up the ladder.

UJ:

“See how easy it is to defeat your hero? One little move, and he’s beaten! You people from Hong Kong are all the same: pathetic little weaklings!”

With that UJ starts to ascend the ladder.

Siu Ann:

“Come of Firefly!”

Jackie:

“Come on UJ!”

UJ is halfway up the ladder and starts to flick Vs at the crowd. Suddenly, Firefly stirs and rolls over. Then he flips himself onto his feet without using his hands! The crowd roars!

Siu Ann:

“YES!”

Jackie:

“NO!”

UJ sees this and starts to clamber up the ladder, but quick as a cat, Firefly is on the top turnbuckle and with shades of Bruce Lee leaps off it with a picture perfect flying kick at the ladder. UJ’s fingers brush the belt as the ladder is taken from below him. He falls from the top right over the ropes and onto the matted floor. He bounces with a groan and doesn’t move.

Siu Ann:

“Climb the ladder Firefly!”

But Firefly doesn’t. He immediately ascends the turnbuckle nearest UJ and to a huge roar of the crowd hits UJ with a frog splash outside the ring!

Siu Ann:

“Oh my God! What a move!”

Jackie:

“Mad bastard! He might have hurt UJ!”

Siu Ann:

“You can bet that’s hurt UJ!”

FF pulls up UJ and Irish whips him into the steel guardrail. A high roundhouse to the temple followed by a spin kick as UJ slumps on the guardrail is followed by another Irish whip. This time, it is reversed by UJ and it’s Firefly who hits the guardrail.

Jackie:

“Look at the technical skill of Union Jack!”

UJ clotheslines Firefly over the guardrail into the crowd. As Firefly lies there, he jumps over the guardrail and hits a leg drop. UJ picks him up and hits a couple of rights, followed by a big left that sends Firefly to the floor again.

Siu Ann:

“Do you call that technical wrestling Jackie?”

Jackie:

“He can wrestle, he can brawl: my man UJ can do it all!”

Siu Ann:

“You rehearsed that didn’t you?”

UJ pulls FF up and hoists him onto his shoulder. He gorilla presses him in the air, and drops him stomach first onto the guardrail. The crowd react with a loud “ooooh!” Firefly rolls over the guardrail and hits the floor. UJ gets onto the guardrail, taunts the fans and then goes for a knee drop from off the guardrail… but Firefly rolls out of the way and he bangs his knee off the floor! With UJ rolling around clutching his knee, and Firefly winded badly by the press onto the guardrail, both men are down.

Siu Ann:

“With UJ down, now is the time for Firefly to capitalise… but he can’t because of the vicious beating that he’s had.”

Jackie:

“Well this match can’t be finished with a double count out! The only way it can be won is when UJ gets his hand on the belt!”

Both men are struggling to their feet. UJ is first and sends a left hook towards Firefly. Firefly blocks and goes for a clothesline. UJ ducks and Firefly’s momentum sends him spinning around. UJ grabs him from behind and quick as lightening hits him with a German suplex outside the ring.

Siu Ann:

“God forbid if these two get onto the concrete by the entrance! It’s bad enough on the mats outside the ring! That was brutal!”

Jackie:

“Yeah! Wasn’t it great?”

UJ is showboating as Firefly writhes in pain on the floor. He walks back to Firefly to be met by a drop toehold. Within a second, Firefly has UJ’s leg wrapped over his own with the weight of his body on top of it. From there, he grabs UJ in a crossface!

Siu Ann:

“STF! STF! Firefly’s signature hold!”

Jackie:

“Get off him Firefly! You can’t win like that! Firefly is out here to hurt UJ!”

Siu Ann:

“Ha!”

UJ is tapping like mad, and Firefly is nodding his head to the crowd who are spurring him on. He finally lets go of the hold and holds up his hands to a roar from the crowd. Firefly re-enters the ring and sets up the ladder. With his back to UJ, he doesn’t see that he is getting up.

Jackie:

“A rookie mistake from Firefly turning his back to his opponent!”

Siu Ann:

“I have to agree! He’s up Firefly! Turn around!”

Firefly ascends as the hobbling UJ rolls under the bottom rope. He grabs Firefly’s tights and yanks him off the ladder into a huge powerbomb!

Siu Ann:

“Oh my God! What a powerbomb!”

UJ pulls Firefly’s prone body to the bottom rope, and pulls his face towards the barbs. FF tries to restrain him.

Siu Ann:

“Don’t do it UJ! The boy has a huge career ahead of him!”

UJ elbows FF’s forehead, and then rams his face into the barbed wire! He then proceeds to rub his face in the barbs.

Siu Ann:

“Oh that’s sadistic! What an evil, evil man Union Jack is!”

Jackie:

“Anything to win Siu Ann!”

With blood pouring down Firefly’s face, UJ pulls him up and Irish whips him into the still standing ladder. Firefly goes crashing into it, knocks it over, and falls on top of it. The momentum of the ladder and Firefly hitting the thin wire ropes snaps them on one side of the ring.

Siu Ann:

“We only have three of the four sides with ring ropes now… oh my God! What is UJ doing?”

UJ is gathering snapped bits of barbed wire and rolling them up. He drops them on the floor in a small pile. He then walks over the prone Firefly. He drags him over to the wire patch he’s made and puts Firefly’s head between his legs.

Siu Ann:

“Oh no! He wouldn’t!”

UJ pulls up Firefly into the powerbomb position, but Firefly reverses it into a hurancanrada! UJ’s head lands right in the patch of barbed wire! Firefly stands over UJ and looks at what happened and looks distraught. All over UJ’s short, cropped head are bleeding cuts.

Siu Ann:

“Firefly didn’t know that there was barbed wire there!”

Jackie:

“Yeah right he didn’t! I bet he’s really happy with himself.”

UJ takes advantage of Firefly’s moment of conscience by booting him hard in the groin from the floor. Firefly crumbles on top of UJ, and UJ wriggles over Firefly and locks on the…

Siu Ann:

“The Iron Maiden! UJ’s got the Iron Maiden on Firefly!”

Jackie:

“Go UJ!”

Siu Ann:

“You chastised Firefly for locking on the STF!”

Jackie:

“That was different!”

Firefly is screaming in pain, but wriggling in an attempt to get out. Finally, he pulls his arm out and backfists UJ in the face. UJ breaks the hold instantly, holding his nose.

Jackie:

“Firefly has just broken UJ’s nose! The vicious son of a…”

Siu Ann:

“Don’t say that! Mrs. Murakame will beat you up!”

An angry UJ runs at Firefly, who had anticipated it, and he gets powerslammed onto the ladder.

Jackie:

“OW! That’s gotta hurt!”

Firefly is on the offence again, and pulls UJ up. In one swift motion, the kneeling UJ is lifted into the air, and has been smashed back down onto the ladder with a dominator.

Siu Ann:

“OW! So has that! Looks like Firefly might be going for the kill here!

Firefly stands UJ up again, and sets him up for a vertical suplex. However, UJ tenses, and it’s Firefly that get hit with a vertical suplex! UJ keeps hold of the suplex hold and lifts Firefly up… and drops him with another suplex. Firefly is pulled up for another suplex, and then another, with the final one being onto the ladder.

Jackie:

“See what happens when Firefly tries to go technical? The better technical wrestler reverses him into something like that!”

UJ gets Firefly up, and sits him on the top rope. Firefly looks completely out of it. UJ then lays down the ladder in the centre of the ring. He then returns to Firefly and sets him up for a superplex!

Siu Ann:

“Oh my God! No! Not a superplex onto the ladder! He’ll break Firefly in half!”

UJ attempts to pull Firefly up for a suplex, but this time it’s Firefly who stops the suplex by hooking his foot underneath the turnbuckle. UJ tries again, and fails. Then Firefly pulls UJ up into a vertical position whilst standing on the top rope. From there he jumps up and turns UJ’s body around. He lands a picture perfect top rope falcon arrow (Mitchenoku Driver from a suplex position) onto the ladder!!!!

Siu Ann:

“Oh my GOD! I have never seen anything like that before… even in the Hong Kong Wrestling federation!”

Firefly grabs UJ and pulls him to his feet. UJ can barely stand, and certainly doesn’t know where he is. Firefly takes a step back and does a stepping side kick right under UJ’s chin. UJ staggers back, and goes straight over the top rope, further cutting up his gashed back. He lands with a sickening thunk, on his back.

Jackie:

“What a vicious thug the Firefly is!”

Siu Ann:

“I don’t think he’s finished yet!”

Firefly had set up the ladder in the centre of the ring, but then looked at UJ and ran to the nearest turnbuckle.

Siu Ann:

“What’s he doing? He has this match won!”

Firefly is on the top turnbuckle, he grits his teeth and hits the…

Siu Ann:

“Napalm bomb! Oh my God! A napalm bomb to the outside of the ring!”

UJ is writhing around on the floor, but Firefly gets him up again. He throws him over the guardrail into the crowd.

Siu Ann:

“Firefly is making damned sure that UJ can’t back to the ring before he climbs the ladder!”

Jackie:

“No, Firefly is showing us all what a vicious thug he is!”

Firefly rolls back into the ring and starts to climb the ladder.

Siu Ann:

“Oh my God! It looks like Firefly was right to distance UJ from the ring! He’s getting up!”

UJ is hauling himself up using the guardrail. Firefly is at the top of the ladder. UJ is over the guardrail. Firefly has his hands on the belt. UJ frantically rolls into the ring. Firefly yanks the belt and leaps off the ladder only momentarily before UJ shoulder barges it knocking it down. Distraught, UJ looks up at Firefly holding the belt, and sinks to the floor. The crowd cheers hit the highest they’ve hit all night!

Siu Ann:

“It’s over! Firefly is the new HKWF champion and my God what did he have to do to get it! Firefly and Union Jack are the most extreme wrestlers in Hong Kong, maybe the world!”

Jackie:

“I just can’t believe UJ lost to that punk!”

“Fire” by the Prodigy has hit the speakers, and Firefly, caked in blood, has ascended all the turnbuckles holding the belt up to the crowd. UJ is still on the floor. Paramedics come to the ring and head for UJ. Firefly shoos them away and helps UJ up himself! UJ glares at Firefly, and Firefly offers a hand. UJ looks at the crowd who cheer wildly. UJ takes Firefly hand and shakes it… and then kicks him in the groin. He grabs Firefly’s head and puts it between his legs, grabs his arms and smashes his face to the floor with a Jack Hammer.

Siu Ann:

“What a disgusting show of bad losing from UJ! I hope Firefly is okay. The was heinous!”

As “Breathe” by the Prodigy plays, UJ smiles nastily and walks away limping and holding his back. As he walks past the paramedics, he pushes them out of the way. The paramedics wait until he’s gone and head for Firefly. He too beckons them away, and slowly gets to his feet himself.

Siu Ann:

“What courage by Firefly!”

Jackie:

“Huh? Oh sorry, I’d fallen asleep Firefly has been celebrating for so long!”

The crowd cheer, and “Fire” begins to play again. Slowly, Firefly lifts the belt up and the cheer becomes a roar. Slowly, Firefly heads to the back, unassisted. Once at the top of the ramp again, he holds the belt up again, points at it, and gestures to the crowd.

Siu Ann:

“Look at that! Firefly is dedicating the belt to the crowd!”

Jackie:

“How sickening!”

Siu Ann:

“That’s all we’ve got time for, thanks for watching! On behalf of Jackie Lee, I’m Siu Ann Wong: thanks for watching!”

---Commercial Break---

---Road Hogg and Body 2 Shoddy vs. The Fierys---

Pike: It seems that two of our newest developmental signees, the 2 New In-laws are trying to make their tag team mark against the father and son team of Dameon and Hades!

Holly: I think I misplaced my notes!

Body 2 Shoddy and Road Hogg come to the ring.

Pike: From what I’m told, this Road Hogg has terrible mic skills!!

Road Hogg: Welcome to the Hogpen! Ayatollah of Toilet Bowllah...ah just forget it. We 2 New In-laws hit it any way we can get it. Y'all want the Road Hogg to spit it, cause I am your home skillet. So women and men, kiddies of all ages...you can find my ass under jobber in the yellow pages..

Suddenly Hades and Dameon come running to the ring.

Holly: Thank god they put a stop to that!

Pike: Not down with the hip hop, Holly?

Holy: Sure I am! But that was terrible!

Hades chops away on the chest of Body while Dameon takes the Hogg to the outside and DDT's him on the floor.

Hades whips Body to the ropes and hits a drop toe hold onto the bottom rope. The 2 Dope one gasps for air. Hades tags in Dameon. Whip by Hades. Hades nails a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker and holds him there. Dameon comes off the ropes and drops a leg drop.

Pike: The Fierys are flat out kicking their ass!

Holly: Guess the father and son are sending a message out to the Tag Team Champions, Epic and Eclipse!

Dameon picks up the master of the "Caterpillar" and hits a cradle suplex. Dameon picks up Body, but Body lowblows Dameon. Body slams Dameon face first into the ground. Body feels it....

Holly: The horror...that look on his face! Is he having an orgasm?

Pike: It's time for the...Caterpillar!

Body hops as the fans chant. C...A…T...E…

But Dameon gets up and clotheslines the crap out of Body.

Pike: Too many letters in caterpillar to make that move effective!

Holly: Maybe he should spell wor..

Dameon tosses Body into his own corner, allowing Road Hogg to tag in.

Pike: Dameon wants fresh meat. Besides, Road Hogg may never have had a chance to enter this contest!

Road Hogg fearlessly attempts his Hoggystyle punches. The jabs have no effect. Road Hogg still does his jukin' and jivin' but Dameon grabs him and hits a T-bone DDT. Dameon whips Hogg to the corner. Dameon charges in and spears the Road Piggy. Hades tags in.

Angle: They are going for it...

With Road Hogg in between both men, Dameon clotheslines the jobber in the throat while Hades clotheslines Hogg to the back of the neck.

Pike: HELL BOUND!! A virtual guillotine!

Holly: Seems as if Hades is going for a cover and Dameon stares Body in his place!

1...2...3

Pike: Hades and Dameon win in convincing fashion!

---Main Event: Television Championship Match: Big John vs. “CareerKiller” Maxx Pain---

Pike: This match is Maxx Pain’s first title defense as the newest Television Champion!

Holly: It should be mentioned as well that Maxx Pain is only the third man in this company’s history to even hold the belt!

Pike: Well, here comes the CareerKiller to the ring! He is looking awfully smug!

Holly: It seems that Maxx Pain has gotten a new Television belt! My notes say that since the Chump the Cameraman/Magic/LightHeavyweight Belt fiasco (if you don’t know…inquiry on the OOC Board—Tate) safeguards have been put in place for theft of championship belts!

Pain comes to the ring wearing his new sparkling Television Championship belt with Baz following beside him. Baz stands in the ring as Pain yells at a few male fans sitting ringside. The crowd waits, but no sign of Big John.

Holly: Where is Big John? Wait a minute...

Video footage plays on the Zero-tron. It shows Pain entering the communal locker room and slamming Big John’s face into the wall. Baz is seen trying to hold back Pain but to no luck. Pain slams the TV belt into Big John's skull. He slams Big John into the hallway onto the floor. Big John writhes in pain. Pain slams a TV set onto John's chest. Pain drags John's lifeless body to the loading dock and tosses him off as Baz and the few other “developmental” wrestlers that followed.

Holly: The horror!! That was a hideous drop onto the concrete!

Pike: Forget the drop. The landing was worse!

The video stops playing. Pain laughs in the ring and asks the ref to administer the ten count. Baz hangs his head in shame.

8…9...10

Pike: Big John is counted out! He probably is in a hospital right now!

Holly: What kind of people does my sister hire to wrestle in this company?!

Pain seems content with his night's work. But suddenly...

Adam Cage walks down the rampway, mic in hand.

Cage: The fans wanted to see some GZW action tonight. Don't think that you got an easy night off because I am ready to kick your ass right now!

Cage charges the ring. The one-half of the Extreme Champion and the TV Champion brawl in the middle of the ring. Baz moves to the side.

Pike: We are witnessing a near riot in the ring!

Holly: Does anybody in this company really like Maxx Pain?

Referees fill the ring, trying to separate the two men.

Holly: My first commentating stint and there was hardly no wrestling!! Just plain old muggings!

Pike: We have not seen the last of that rivalry! Well, for my new broadcast colleague, Holly Fortune and myself, Memphis Pike, goodnight everybody from the first ever Sunday Storm!

“Ya Don’t See The Signs” rips as the Intercontinental Champion appears on the entranceway as the ring clears.

Pimp: Wait a minute! I am the Living Legend and I did not get the opportunity to grace the public with my presence at this first ever show.

Pike: I guess we are heading into overtime folks!

Holly: Can he do this?

Pimp: You see, Pimp Bizkit is a giving man. It has come to my attention that a particular smartass rookie has been calling for the king of the mountain. Canadian Psycho...son...you have not done anything in this fed. You want to run your mouth backstage about me claim to being a legend!! You even had the audacity to say that I was ducking you. Well, I duck no one. I am calling your ass out right now. And oh, this match is non-title because it would be an insult to the entire wrestling world if some ignorant little boy could bitch and moan his way to a title shot. But if you beat me, you will not only get a title shot, but you can have two of my ladies.

Holly: The Canadian Psycho actually came up to me after Rebellion beat him down on Travesty this past Friday saying some very vulgar things concerning Pimp Bizkit!

Pike: Well, if Psycho has been wanting a chance at Pimp, he is about to get it right now!

Psycho runs into the ring. Pimp unloads a carton of kick booty on Psycho. Punches, kicks to the gut, and whip to the ropes by the Champ. Pimp nearly beheads him with a clothesline. Psycho gets back up and gets dropped with an inverted atomic drop. And another one. Pimp locks in and hits a release Northern Lights suplex. Pimp picks up Pyscho and drops him in a piledriver. Pimp spits on the fallen Psycho and locks in the…

Pike: Sharpshooter!

Holly: My notes say it’s the Canadian Shooter! It’s Canadian Psycho’s finisher! Is Pimp allowed to use someone else’s move?

Psycho cries out in pain. Pimp locks it in further. Pimp, while still holding Pyscho's legs, falls backwards, snapping Pyscho's spine.

Holly: The horror! Someone call a chiropractor!

Pike: Someone call a mortician!

Pimp picks up the lifeless carcass of Psycho and for good measure hits the Playground Playa (two powerbombs followed by a Samoan drop to the side). The cover...

1...2...3!

Pike: This one is over!

Holly: Did it ever begin? Canadian Psycho needs some medical help!!

Pimp stands over Psycho's body and holds the GZW IC Title belt to his face.

Pimp: Don't think that you are in my league yet, you impotent little boy. Canadian Psycho, what a damn joke.

Pimp leaves the ring up the rampway, but suddenly on the Zero-tron, the new entrance video for Magic plays up.

Pike: That is Magic's music...he wasn't scheduled to be here tonight! Last reports were that he was in the hospital due to the concussion he suffered at the hands of Union Jack on Travesty!!

Holly: What would a show called Storm be without the Desert Storm?!

Pimp looks around, trying to locate Magic. Coming over the guardrail and out of the crowd is the Arizona native. He charges Pimp and levels him with a clothesline. The Desert Storm gets on top of Pimp and wails away with punishing right hands to the head. The refs come out and separate the two. Pimp is bleeding out of his mouth.

Pike: Magic wants the world to know that he has his sights on Pimp and the Intercontinental title and nothing can stop him!

Holly: I need to call my insurance agent and increase my rates! This place is a warzone!!

Pike: (smiles) Isn’t it though! Hey, let’s go get some donuts!! I know a Dunkin’ Donuts right around the corner!!
