cWo presents Driven 77

Intro

Well my boss called me up and said to come into work.
I just hung up on that slave-driving jerk.
I'm goin' to Rasslin!
Goin' to Rasslin!

You think I'd rather be sweatin' on the dock?
Or watching somebody use a hammerlock?
I'm goin' to Rasslin!
Goin' to Rasslin!

R-A-S-S-L-I-N That's Rasslin'

I like to watch ASM smash his axe off the corner post
And that Hooligan kick delivered by Jacob Baxter
Johnny Serious and Muru are what I like the most
And the alley opp and aeroplane spin like only Thaddeus Walker can!

Boss called again said it's time and a half if you come in tonight
I just had to laugh
I'm goin' to Rasslin!
Goin' to Rasslin!

R-A-S-S-L-I-N That's Rasslin'

Well my girlfriend called and friend she could be a model for Fredrick's of Hollywood
But she was hassled, really hassled!
Said I could come over early and stay real late
But I told her honey if we got a date we're goin' to rasslin
Goin' to Rasslin!

R-A-S-S-L-I-N That's Rasslin'

As Chazz Mendel when he's really high in flight
Cool as Ice Devon Dice when he's out there struttin'
Big Ronnie Wilkins must be seven foot nine!
I wouldn't miss this for a dozen girls.
I wouldn't miss this if for nothin'

I said Honey I hope you ain't hurt
She said I'm puttin' on my rasslin' shirt
I'm goin to rasslin!
Goin' to Rasslin!

R-A-S-S-L-I-N that's Rasslin!

Well last night I dreamed my life was over
There were golden streets and fields of clover
And the lights, they were dazzlin'.
I looked for ol' Prophet Mohammad at the pearly gates
I found a note that said I won't be too late
I'm goin' to Rasslin'
Goin' to Rasslin!

R-A-S-S-L-I-N that's Rasslin!

There's the gigolo Mike Logan with all his lovely ladies
There's Nick Dangerous with his trademark armbar
And I'll never forget the classic battles of seven years ago!
Two champions Chris Michaels and Notorious JON
Mohammad told me as he let me in
From now on, every Thursday, Karl, we're goin' to rasslin
Goin' to Rasslin!

He spelled it
R-A-S-S-L-I-N that's Rasslin!

Boy if I'd known this was gonna happen I wouldn't have bought these advance tickets!
Hey Mohammad, will all my virgins have a ringside seat?
Is ole' JJ gonna be up here any time soon?

R-A-S-S-L-I-N that's Rasslin!

[The camera pans around the Fargodome in Fargo, North Dakota as fireworks go off from the ceiling shooting towards the stage. The stage alights on both sides, then fireworks erupt from both sides of the cWo tron. The camera then focuses on the crowd, highlighting such signs as “cWo has catching up to do” “Mike Logan = World SHAMpion” and “Welcome back Muru” The camera then focuses on Joel Nelson, Peter Tiger and Robbie Hart seated at the announce position.]

Nelson: Hard to imagine just less than a week ago we were on a boat and now here we are at Fargo, North Dakota! Welcome everybody to cWo Driven!

Tiger: It's business as usual Joel, in a business most unusual, and I'm excited for more cWo action tonight.

Hart: A new World Champion sits on top of the cWo mountain and I don't think the man can be stopped! Mike Logan beat Johnny Serious at Summertime Bruise and it doesn't get any better than that!

Nelson: I think cWo fans would disagree. Johnny Serious put up the fight of his life, and Mike Logan happened to show a side of him we haven't seen before. But winning the World Championship doesn't put Mike Logan on easy street.

Tiger: No, it doesn't.

[A graphic showcases Mike Logan versus Barrett Hawk.]

Tiger: Mike Logan takes on Barrett Hawk, these two just can't stay away from each other.

Nelson: Two men who we've seen take each other to their limit on multiple occasions will square off in tonight's main event.

Tiger: Both men are hot off the trails of the biggest win of their careers, Barrett Hawk defeating Andrew Phillips, and Mike Logan defeating Johnny Serious, but after tonight only one of them can keep that momentum going.

Hart: It's not gonna be pretty!

Nelson: Let's take it to Donna Dixon.

Cody Only vs. Tidmore

DING DING DING

Dixon: The following match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Detroit Michigan, Cody Only!

["This Calling" by All That Remains begins to play over the loudspeaker. Cody Only makes his way down to the ring to an almost negligible reaction. He does what he can to pump the crowd up, but doesn't get much. A frustrated expression comes over his face as he jogs up the steps and onto the apron. He removes his shirt and tossed it to the crowd, where the only person to even attempt catching it is a twelve year old boy.]

Nelson: Lukewarm reception for newcomer Cody Only.

Hart: I can't say I blame them. I heard this kid uses The Cobra Clutch as a finisher.

Nelson: Are you serious? That's it?

Tiger: Has that move even been taken seriously any time in the last decade?

Hart: I don't think so.

Benson: And his opponent, from Fargo North Dakota, Nelson Tidmore!

[A fairly generic rock song begins to play and Nelson comes out from the back, getting even less of a response than Cody. He doesn't seem to care as he runs to the ring, sliding in under the second rope and charging at Cody, tackling him to the ground and throwing a barrage of punches before the match can even start.]

DING DING DING

Nelson: Woah! Is this guy eager or what?

Hart: That certainly seems to be the case. I can tell you one thing, though. He's starting off with a good advantage, and if he keeps it up this one is going to be over fast.

Tiger: Normally I don't like to call a match so early, but Only is already taking a pretty severe beating, and when you're taking that many punches it's going to knock the fight out of you pretty fast.

[Cody manages to roll Nelson away, and the two get to their feet. Nelson runs at Cody and tackles him into the corner, climbing on top of him and throwing punches down at Cody's head. Cody manages to stop the punches by grabbing a hand. Nelson swings with the other hand which Cody also grabs. Nelson falls backward and monkey flips Cody, who lands on his feet.]

Nelson: A show of agility from Cody Only.

Hart: I have to admit I'm surprised. I didn't think he was going to put up much of a fight.

Tiger: Oh, look out!

[Cody turns around in time to see Nelson go for a clothesline and reverse it with an arm drag. The two get to their feet quickly and Nelson attempts another clothesline, which is countered with another arm drag. They once again get to their feet and begin to circle eachother. Nelson goes for yet another clothesline. This time Cody swiftly counters by batting Nelson's arm away and slipping behind him, applying The Cobra Clutch tightly. Nelson begins to flail but Cody locks it on tighter, tugging violently. It doesn't take long for Nelson to tap out and Cody releases the hold with a smile on his face.]

Nelson: Well, that was fast.

Hart: I'll admit it. He surprised me. That Cobra Clutch looked pretty painful, but I wonder how it'll stack up when he tries to use it on one of cWo's veterans.

Tiger: I guess we'll have to see if this kid has what it takes to compete against them before we find out.

[Cody jumps out of the ring and runs a victory lap as his music plays, getting a slightly bigger reaction from the crowd than he did upon entering. He stops in front of the kid who caight his shirt to ruffle his hair and give him a high five before jogging off backstage, stopping on the ramp one more time to raise his arm victoriously.]

The Champ is Here

[Backstage in the parking lot, we see a limo driving in.]

Hart: Who's that Joel?

Nelson: I don't know Robbie.

Hart: You seem to know it all Peter, who's in the limo!

[The driver pulls over and exits the vehicle.]

Tiger: How am I supposed to know that?

Hart: Is it the new World Champ?

Tiger: I wouldn't be surprised.

[The driver goes over to open the back passenger's door. Sabrina Swallows exits wearing a skimpy yellow dress, as she looks into the car walking out, she holds the hand of an exitting Mike Logan, wearing blue jeans, an open hawaiian shirt, and sunglasses. He smiles chewing bubble gum with the World Championship over his shoulder.]

Hart: There he is! The new World Champion!

Nelson: The Champion has arrived ladies and gentlemen.

[Mike Logan shares a sloppy kiss with Sabrina Swallows.]

Nelson: Not the classiest World Champion, but our Champion never the less...

[The kiss ends with Logan's chewing gum in Sabrina's mouth, as the two start walking down towards the arena.]

Nelson: He will be in action in our main event tonight. Stay tuned!

[Commercial Break.]

Guess Who's Back

Dixon: Please welcome back “The Greatest Show on Earth”…Muru!!!!

[“Ladies and Gentlemen” by Saliva erupts throughout the arena as Muru makes his way out onto the ramp. The crowd cheers loudly as he makes his way to the ring.]

Nelson: Well we didn't have time to talk about it at the start of the program but it's self explanitory now. Muru is back in the cWo and this audience couldn't be happier to see him!

Tiger: There were rumors that we may never see him in a wrestling ring again. But he was in top form at Summertime Bruise, coming to the aid of Devon Dice, preventing Victor Emmit from cheating his way to United States Championship fame.

Nelson: I can only wonder what he has on his mind tonight.

Hart: He should be apologizing for ruining Victor Emmit's big night!

Nelson: I somehow don't think that's what we'll be hearing.

[Muru slides under the bottom rope and then hops to his feet. He raises his hands into the air and the fans keep cheering. Muru reaches for a microphone and his music dies down. He goes to speak but the crowd is still buzzing. After a few moments it dies down enough for him to begin.]

Muru: Thank you, it has been too long and I only have one thing to say. It is great to be back! For the past couple of months while I sat at home recovering I couldn’t wait to return. I got a lot of fan mail and I read the message boards and I saw how much all of you cared and it made me work harder to make it back. All of you are the reason why I do this and when I stop I want it to be on my terms not anyone else’s. That is right there was a time right after I was hurt I wasn’t sure if I would be able to return. I guess I had someone watching out for me because my neck didn’t need surgery and after a few months of rehab it was strong enough for me to return.

[Fans applaud as Muru takes a pause to allow them time to do so.]

Muru: So I was sitting at home and finally had enough sitting around and I packed my bags. The next thing you know I was on a boat. It wasn’t just a vacation though. I was there to take care of business. You all know my bud Devon Dice was taking on Victor Emmit for the United States title and I had to see him defend the title in person. I don’t trust Emmit and I knew he would do anything he could to win the title, legal or by other means. I wasn’t going to let that happen. Dice was not going to have the belt stolen from him like it was stolen from me. So when he and that reject Reg Jr. tried to take the title unjustly I put a stop to it. I know Dice didn’t need my help but I know he would have been there for me, hell he has been in the past. I will always have his back. If I can’t be the United States champion I am glad he is. To be honest I have bigger things in mind.

Hart: Hibernating through the winter time.

Nelson: Ssh.

Muru: But right now I have a few scores I need to settle starting with Victor Emmit. I might not have been one hundred percent when I faced him but he put me on the shelf. All I want is a chance to return the favor.

Emmit: Blaaaaah blaaaaah blaaaaah.

[Muru finds himself distracted as he stops talking after taking notice of Face Turn taking their stand at the stage area. Fans boo as Nigel St. Claire, Electric Mike, Reggie Jr., Tito, Victor Emmit and Notorious JON look on, not looking pleased. Victor, Jon and Tito stand in front of the group as Victor is armed with a microphone.]

Emmit: Blaaaaaah blaaaaah blaaaaah blaaaaah blah. Sorry to interrupt your precious little moment but my boys and I had to come out here 'cause we couldn't figure out if it was you talking, or James Blunt is back.

[Victor Emmit and company jokingly gag as he continues.]

Emmit: I know, smells like cheese don't it? Muru, take it from me, calling us out is like Nickelback challenging Zeppelin to a battle of the bands. The last time you got in the ring with me, I knocked you out, I put you out and none of these people were asking for an encore.

[Fans boo as Victor stands with conviction behind what he has to say.]

Nelson: He couldn't be more wrong on that account.

Emmit: I was ready to go Gold last Sunday before you stuck your nose in my business and the only reason I'm not is because of you. But you know what? You're just like everyone else in this company, you're a one trick pony. We are jacks of all trades, musicians, wrestlers, singers, entertainers. All you have is one skill.

Muru: One skill?

Emmit: Just one skill, man.

Muru: I heard your music you guys, you should stick to wrestling, you're embarassing yourselves.

[Face Turn all fume as the fans cheer wildly for Muru's advice.]

Emmit: This is exactly what I'm talking about! You're just as jealous as the rest of them! When you stuck your nose in our business. You declared war, you declared war on Face Turn, and now we're gonna bring it to you.

[Muru peels off his shirt and slams it on the mat.]

Muru: Then walk down that aisle and let's do this right now!

[Fans cheer even louder as Victor begins to look timid.]

Emmit: Maybe not now.

[Fans boo.]

Nelson: Huh.

Emmit: No not now. But your time's gonna come buddy, later tonight...yeah, later tonight I'm laying down the challenge.

[Victor then wraps his arm around Tito's shoulders.]

Emmit: Later tonight, Tito here is gonna kick your ass!

[Tito's eyes buldge as he looks at Victor Emmit in shock. Jon then begins supportively massaging Tito's shoulders.]

Muru: Alright. I'll let you hide this week, but when I beat Tito tonight, it's only a matter of time. I'm coming for you!

Nelson: Well there you have it folks! Muru has just laid down the gauntlet!

Hart: He's out of his mind!

Nelson: Muru's got revenge on the mind and nothing's gonna stop him! We'll be right back folks!

[Commercial Break.]

Taking On All Comers

[The camera cuts to backstage, where Tiffany Tolberg stands with a microphone.]

Tiffany: I'm here with the new cWo Women's Champion!

[The camera pans over to reveal Bellatrix Drake, the Women's Title draped on her shoulder.]

Tiffany: Bellatrix Drake, let me first congratulate you on finally getting over the hump at Summertime Bruise.

Bellatrix: 'Twas a battle. Mad Maddie, she a fierce fighter, but muh time has come, tha time fer tha' goddess ta rise.

Tiffany: You never addressed the funk you seemingly fell into weeks ago where it seemed like your were at the end of your career.

Bellatrix: Dark days fer me. Twas a mistake. I was nae prepared fer the emotions, Tiff'ny. But tis the past now, nothin' but a mem'ry.

Tiffany: Now that those days are over, and you have the belt, what's next?

Bellatrix: 'Tis a new age. This bonny gol' belt? No longer shall it's holder hide, run, cheat. I dunnae care who's comin' fer me, let 'em come ta' me.

Tiffany: Is there anyone in the division that worries you? Cassie Charisma? Nox Bones? Jen Diamon-

Bellatrix: -I await tha' war, with whomever't may be. I'm hearby servin' notice ta tha division, i's time fer us to rise to tha' next level, ta show tha worl what we kin do. An' with me havin' tha belt, Tiff'ny, things're gunna get int'restin'.

[Bellatrix gives a smirk to the camera, then pats the belt, turns and walks off. Cameras return to ringside with the announce team.]

Hart: Can we at least get subtitles for when someone decides to talk to Bellatrix Drake?

Nelson: That would be assuming you can read.

Hart: I read at an eighth grade level alright?

Nelson: I under estimated you.

Tiger: Gotta give Bellatrix Drake props after her performance at Summertime Bruise. She saw that her game wasn't enough to reach the pinnacle, so she focused and made adjustments to be the Champion she is now.

Nelson: And I can announce now, next week it's gonna be John Pilchard's lates project, Nox Bones taking on Cassie Charisma next week, where the winner of that will be the number one contender to the Women's Championship.

Tiger: After the controversial finish at the Pay Per View, it's gonna be interesting to see if Nox Bones can behave herself enough to finish Cassie Charisma, or if Charisma will correct her mistakes from last time.

If Tony Rios wins he gets a cWo Contract

Mac Johnson vs. Tony Rios

DING DING DING

Dixon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall

["One Day As A Lion" hits the PA system. Fans boo as Mac Johnson and John Pilchard make their way out looking pleased with themselves. Nox Bones comes along, not looking as enthused as the others.]

Dixon: Entering the ring first, being accompanied by John Pilchard and Nox Bones. Weighing in at three hundred and fifteen pounds. From West Paterson, New Jersey. Mac Joooooohnsooooon!

Nelson: This is a match that fans have been waiting for. A situation got out of control when John Pilchard and Mac Johnson held a weekly Five Minute Challenge, if anyone could last over five minutes in the ring with Pilchard, they were garaunteed a cWo contract. Tony Rios came one second too short when Pilchard intervened, causing a disqualification.

Tiger: Now Tony Awesome has intervened, saying that it's time to give Tony Rios a real opportunity. Tonight either Tony Rios sinks or swims.

Nelson: And I think these people in Fargo are gonna hope the latter. Rios seems like a good guy with a good head on his shoulders, and these people want to see more of him.

[Pilchard enters the ring using the stairs as Mac climbs the apron.]

Tiger: Mac Johnson looks confident right now, where as Tony Rios I'd suspect might go into this match a little nervous. Mac has the comfort of knowing win or lose, he's a cWo wrestler.

[Pilchard takes the mic from Donna Dixon, fans begin to boo before Pilchard can even speak.]

Pilchard: Do you honestly think I care what people think of me...in Fargo?

[Fans boo as Mac Johnson laughs.]

Pilchard: It seems no matter where we are, Mac Johnson, Nox Bones and I can't seem to walk the streets without the name Tony Rios coming up. People continue to think that we had somehow cheated him out of his career in cWo, let me tell you something. Where would Tony Rios be, if it weren't for me? What Mac Johnson and I did was revolutionary! The Five Minute Challenge was our brainchild, and because of me..because of us, Tony Rios is a star!

Nelson: He truly believes that.

Pilchard: But what makes Rios different from Nox Bones, and Mac Johnson, is that he's only a fringe celebrity. Like Jon and Kate, like the Octomom, or the guy who screamed "leave Britney alone", he's only got...

[Pilchard sarcastically looks at his wrist.]

Pilchard: Mmm...about fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes that have just about expired. You're looking at the cWo a-team. This isn't a novelty act.

[Pilchard attempts to put his arm around the shoulders of Nox Bones, but she quickly swats him away. Pilchard plays it cool as he continues.]

Pilchard: Unlike Tony Rios, these two aren't flash in the pan, they're not limited to fifteen minutes. They're timeless, haha, and they're mine, all mine! Now we'd like to come out here and put the final nail in Tony Rios' coffin...but I have a feeling, he won't show uuuup!

Nelson: What is he talking about?

[Mac again busts out laughing as boos intensify.]

Pilchard: So I'm gonna make this short and sweet. We have a referee, we have an announcer. I'm giving Tony Rios ten seconds. Aaron Blake is gonna ring the bell, count to ten, and after ten, Donna Dixon will be the last person in history to ever say the name, Tony Rios. Now ring the bell!

[Reluctantly, Aaron Blake shrugs his shoulders and calls for the bell. Pilchard hands the microphone back to Donna Dixon, as they all wait in the ring for Tony Rios.]

Nelson: Folks I don't know what to say...

[Pilchard looks at Blake and says "count......COUNT!". Blake, looking confused, starts the count.]

ONE

Nelson: Is Rios here tonight?

Tiger: Well the match was scheduled in advance, I don't know why he wouldn't be.

TWO

Nelson: What could John Pilchard and his "A-team" have done this time?

THREE

Tiger: I don't know, but I'm gonna point out the obvious here-

FOUR

Tiger: Something stinks.

Hart: Maybe Tony Rios just has cold feet!

FIVE

Nelson: I don't think he'd come this far to get cold feet.

SIX

SEVEN

EIGHT

NINE

TEN

DING DING DING

[Like a director on the set of a movie, Pilchard points to Donna Dixon and gestures to her to make the announcement.]

Dixon: The winner of this match is a result of a countout...Mac Johnsoooon!

[Pilchard raises Johnson's arm in victory.]

Nelson: Well once again Pilchard found a way to cheat Tony Rios out of this opportunity he's worked so hard for.

Hart: We're not supposed to talk about him anymore Joel! If he wants in so bad he's gonna have to find another way now!

Nelson: I don't like this at all and neither does Fargo tonight. Let's take a break from this disgusting display.

Tiger: Coming up after the break...

[A graphic shows highlighting Lana Lexington versus Jen Diamond.]

Nelson: Jen Diamond takes on Lana Lexington in singles competition! Next!...

[Commercial Break.]

Nelson: Welcome back folks. We promised you women's competition and that will be coming shortly but first, Tiffany Tolberg is backstage with Barrett Hawk for some insight on tonight's main event.

Tiger: Well one of tonight's main events, now that we know Muru will be in action tonight!

Nelson: Let's pass it down to Tiffany.

Humble Perspective

[Backstage, Tiffany Tolberg stands by Barrett Hawk with a mic in hand.]

Tolberg: Thanks Joel. I'm here with Barrett Hawk, who's enjoyed his biggest career victory against Andrew Phillips at Summertime Bruise. How do you feel about that?

Hawk: Well I appreciate that he showed up this time. I know there're people out there thinkin' I didn't have it in me to put that notch under my belt but I did it, I'm thrilled that I could do it, and now I'm just lookin' to hit the ground runnin'. That was a big win, but I want that World Title.

Tolberg: Beating Mike Logan would definitely get you noticed as a contender for said Championship.

Hawk: Nothin' I hadn't done before. I welcome any opportunity to whoop Mike Logan from pillar to post. It's no secret that he and I got history. The heat between he and I'll never simmer, when I started in this company it didn't take long for him and I to become enemies. Tonight it all comes full circle, and after a year I ain't forgotten what he did. What happens tonight is karma.

Tolberg: Thank you Barrett, would you like to say anything to your fans?

Hawk: Work hard and good things'll come to ya. I love you all.

Tolberg: Joel...

[Cameras come back to the arena.]

Nelson: Thank you Tiffany, now let's get to the action.

Lana Lexington vs. Jen Diamond

Nelson: This next match has been a long time coming, and Jen Diamond basically had to go to extreme measures to get Lana to accept her challenge!

Hart: She pretended to be a jaguar!

Tiger: The hostility between these two stems from a few months back at Glory, when Lana Lexington cheated to win a mixed tag.

Hart: You say cheating, I say doing what it takes to win!

Tiger: Regardless, it didn’t sit well with Jen Diamond.

Nelson: Not to mention, Jen didn’t appreciate Miss Lexington’s recent “retirement” from the women’s division and her fraudulent attempts at wrestling men.

Hart: Fradulent? She beat Dr. Butcher, MD!

Tiger: You know that Jen Diamond is licking her chops at the thought of revenge in this one!

Donna Dixon: The following contest is set for one fall. Introducing first, from Boca Raton Florida, here is JEEEN DIAMOND!

["Physical" by NIN plays as Jen Diamond makes her way onto the entrance ramp. Walls of pyros shoot up from either side as the ramp as confidently strides to the ring. She climbs up onto the apron and steps between the ropes.]

Nelson: She looks focused.

Hart: Eh. She just doesn’t know how to make an entrance!

[Lights flash in tune with Fireflight's "Unbreakable" as the intro begins. As the song kicks in, Lana Lexington bursts out from the entrance way jumping up and down, looking excited and ready for her match. She's greeted by boos from the fans, but acknowledges them with a wave and smile, as if they're cheering her as she makes her way to the ring. Lana climbs on to the apron and faces the crowd with her back to the ropes. She outstretches her arms and does a backflip into the ring and lands in a pose with her feet crossed and her arms outstretched.]

Hart: See, now THAT’s an entrance!

DING DING DING

Nelson: This one’s underway!

[The two lockup. They struggle for position, and Jen shoves Lana off. Lana falls backwards onto the mat, then gets back to her feet.]

Nelson: Jen just trying to intimidate Lana right off the bad.

Hart: Lana’s Notorious JON’s daughter! She’s not afraid of anything!

[The two lockup again. This time, Jen sends Lana into the ropes and sends her over her back with a high angled body drop! Lana quickly gets back to her feet, and Jen takes her down with a textbook dropkick! Jen pulls Lana to her feet and sends her down with a scoop slam, then hits a standing moonsault, landing back first on Lana! ]

Nelson: And Jen Diamond quickly takes control!

[Lana quickly back on her feet. She catches Jen Diamond off guard with a chick kick and throws her across the ring with a release arm drag! Lana comes running with a spinning heel kick which connects! Lana whips Jen into the opposite corner! Back handspring elbow does NOT connect though as Diamond ducks out of it! She retaliates with an elbow to Lana’s face! Snapmare takeover!]

Tiger; Nice job by Jen Diamond, she’s dictating the pace of this match right now.

Hart: The pace of the match? It’s been like a minute!

[Jen pulls Lana to her feet, tosses her into the ropes and slams her over her back with a samoan drop! Jen then grabs the leg of Lana and applies a legbar.]

Nelson: Submission move, and this is where Diamond excels!

Hart: Yeah, at being boring! She’s like the female yawn style machine!

Tiger: Lana’s waving off the referee, she’s ready to submit this early in the match.

Hart: Hah! See, stupid move by Diamond.

Tiger: Good strategy, actually, she’s wearing down Lana’s legs, taking away some of that speed and balance.

[Jen releases the hold, then pulls Lana back up to her feet. She spins her around and lockes her waist, going for a german suplex, but Lana blocks, then nails a jawbreaker on Jen. Lana bounces off the ropes and lands with both knees on the midsection of Jen Diamond. Jen staggers back up to her feet and walks right into a big headscissor takedown! Lana bounces off the ropes, but this time misses with an elbow drop as Jen rolls out of the way.]

Nelson: Lana wipes out, and now Jen Diamond’s back to her feet!

[Jen pulls Lana up and sends her into the ropes, she catches her with a drop toe hold, then applies another legbar. Lana cries out in pain as the ref checks with her, but Lana shakes her head, she's not willing to submit. Lana tries to climb to the ropes, but Jen keeps pulling her way.]

Nelson: Once again Jen showing her submission abilities, as she's really working on the leg of Lana Lexington.

Hart: Cheap!

Tiger: What?

Hart: She knows she can’t go toe to to with Lana, so she has to keep her grounded with junk like this!

Tiger: It’s wrestling!

[Out of desperation, Lana lunges forward and grabs the ropes. Jen Diamond breaks the hold and begins to pull Lana to her feet, when Lana catches her with a punch to the stomach that backs her up, then sends her down with a big forearm strike.]

Hart: There ya go Lana! All the leg locks in the world don’t compare to a good old fashion forearm to the chops!

[Jen quickly gets back to her feet. She goes for a Lariat, but Lana drops and rolls under her arm, then pops back to her feet and sends Jen down with a bulldog!]

Nelson: Now Lana using her athleticism to gain the upper hand

Tiger: Lana’s got that gymnastics background, and those agile mauevers are a big part of her game.

[Lana pulls Jen back to her feet and gives her a big chop across the chest. Lana bounces off the ropes. Jen Diamond ducks a clothesline, then bounces off the ropes herself, they cross up, Jen drops to the mat and Lana leaps over her. Jen pops back to her feet, but Lana stops herself and jumps backwards, connecting with a back elbow that drops Jen to her knees. She then connects with a big kick that sends Jen Diamond down face first onto the mat.]

Nelson: Lana now taking control.

Hart: I never had any doubt!

[Lana stands over Jen, then drops down and puts her legs around Jen’s waist, then rolls onto her back, locking Jen into a bodyscissors!]

Nelson: Now Lana with a submission maneuver of her own!

Hart: See, anyone can do it!

[Jen winces from the pain of the tight hold as she tries to sit up, but Lana rolls sideways.]

Tiger: Being a former gymnast, all of Lana’s power is in her lower body, so it’s safe to say that this hold is probably very tights on the ribs of Jen Diamond.

Hart: Lower body? So she does kegels?

Nelson: Robbie!

Hart: What? They’re exercises all women should do!

[Jen is able to get some footing, and she scoots forward, pulling Lana with her a few feet, and puts her leg on the ropes, forcing Lana to break the hold!]

Nelson: Nice sense of ring position by Jen Diamond.

[Before Jen can get to her feet, Lana applies a front facelock!]

Tiger: Lana seems like she wants to beat Jen Diamond at her own game.

[Lana arches backwards, putting more pressure on the neck of Jen Diamond, who tries to get to her feet.]

[Jen Diamond gets to one knee, then begins to fight her way to her feet as Lana struggles to hang on. Jen gets to her feet, then is able to flip Lana over her head, sending her crashing hard onto her back!]

Nelson: Back bodydrop!

Tiger: Lana just may have surrendered the momentum!

[Lana gets back to her feet, and Jen Diamond quickly is on her with a Thesz press!! She makes the cover]

ONE...

TWO..

Nelson: Kickout! That was close!

[Jen pulls Lana back to her feet, kicks her in the midsection, then hooks her between her legs. Jen then lifts Lana upside down over her shoulder for a backbreaker submission. ]

Nelson: This has to be putting incredible pressure on the back of Lana Lexington.

Tiger: When applied properly, like it is now, it’s a simple yet very effective power submission!

[Jen drops to her knees, driving her shoulder hard into the lower back of Lana. She drops Lana to the ground, then grabs her legs, but Lana quickly escapes and rolls to her feet.]

Nelson: Lana using her quickness to her advantage there, and escaping another submission maneuver!

Tiger: She’s gotta start making Jen Diamond wrestle her kind of match and use that speed and agility advantage if she wants to pull this one out.

Nelson: I can’t say kegels but he can say pull out?

[The two stalk each other again, then lock up. Lana hits Jen with a knee to the midsection, then sends her down with a clothesline! Jen slowly gets back to her feet, but Lana sends her back down with a baseball slide. As Jen pops back up to her feet, Lana is waiting and gives her a scoop slam!]

[Lana pulls Jen Diamond up, then puts her leg over Jen Diamonds head and executes a playmaker, slamming Jen face first into the map, then doing a full flip and landing on Jen Diamond with a legdrop!]

Nelson: She calls that the Leg Manuever Assault Overdrive!

Hart: Get it? LMAO! Like they say on the spacebook and the tweeter!

Tiger: Lana may have just pulled away here, that’s one of her signature maneuvers, and Jen Diamond is down!

[Jen rolls onto her back, Lana positions herself over and drops to her knees]

Tiger: Here comes that inverted STF!

[Jen quickly sits up and stuns Lana with a strike to the thrat. Jen then lift her knee forart and locks her legs into triangle position, then pulls Lana down across her shin and locks both hands behind her head..]

Nelson: Gogoplata! Gogoplata by Jen Diamond!

Hart: Huh?

Wilden: Just a vicious MMA maneuver!

[Jen tightens the hold, and Lana tries to fight it. The referee checks with Lana, who waves him off.]

Nelson: Lana trying to hold on now.

Hart: C’mon, Lana! What would your dad do?

[Jen tightens the hold again. Lana cries out, raises her arm, and then rapidly slaps the canvas!]

Nelson: Lana taps!! Lana taps!!

DING DING DING

[Jen releases the hold and Lana crumples to the canvas. Jen gets to her feet and the referee raises her arm.]

Dixon: Here is your winner, JEN DIAMOND!

Nelson: Well Jen Diamond has been waiting for months to have this match, and the wait was well wroth it, as she dishes out some revenge!

Tiger: And Jen Diamond just continues to show why she’s one of the most versatile competitiors, female OR male, in cWo!

Hart: Lana’ll be back!

Nelson: And so will we, with our first main event of the evening as Mike Logan and Barrett Hawk square off! Next!

[Commercial Break.]

Mike Logan vs. Barrett Hawk

DING DING DING

Benson: This next match is our first main event of the evening.

[The lights go out and turn a cherry shade of red as a red carpet rolls down the ramp-way while "The Stroke" by Billy Squire begins to play over the P.A. system to a loud chorus of boos. We then see Mike Logan decked out in a Giorgio Armani business suit with designer sunglasses and the newly won cWo World Heavyweight Championship over his shoulder with the lovely Sabrina Swallows by his side, wearing a very skimpy two-piece black leather dress as Logan hoists the belt up in the air as the crowd chants "F**K YOU LO-GAN!".]

Benson: Entering the ring first, being accompanied by Sabrina Swallows. Weighing in at two hundred and forty three pounds. He hails from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. The new cWo World Heavyweight Champion Mike Loooooooogaaaaaan!

Nelson; Fans, this is a very sickening sight to even see our new World Heavyweight Champion as Mike Logan.

Tiger: As much as I despise his actions, I have to give the devil his due. He more than earned that championship belt at Summertime Bruise and whether we like it or not, he's our new champion.

Hart: Welcome to the "Logan Era" of cWo, boys and girls!

[As Mike Logan struts into the ring and hoists his championship in the air, laughing at the fans booing him and pelting him with garbage, Sabrina Swallows takes the microphone and begins to speak.]

Sabrina Swallows: Uhmm, like... ex-cuse me?!?

[The fans boo even louder than usual and start the "SHE'S GOT HER-PES!" chant.]

Sabrina Swallows: First of all, I, like, don't have herpes and junk... second of all, you all should, like, totally show more respect to your new World Heavyweight Champion, a five-alarm hottie with a million dollar body, "The Canadian Gigolo", "The Sexual Intellectual", he's young, hung, and skilled with his tongue... Mike... LOGAN!

[The fans boo as Mike Logan immediately gets pelted with garbage as he smirks at them with disapproval.]

Mike Logan: Fargo, North Dakota... where the men are men and the sheep are scared s***less!

[The fans really let Logan and Sabrina have it with garbage thrown at them and the obligatory "F**K YOU LOGAN!" chant.]

Mike Logan: But really now, is this any way to treat your World Heavyweight Champion? I mean come on now, I did what I said I would do. I made John-boy bleed and when the referee decided to try and keep the belt around Johnny's waist a little longer, I STILL came out of the match victorious with the belt! And now, as a result, Sabrina's receiving "golden showers" every day, courtesy of "The Canadian Gigolo", "The Sexual Intellectual", the body-rockin', crowd-poppin', panty-droppin', pulse-poundin', handsome-faced heart-breaker, the strip-teasin', lady-pleasin', motivator, the commentator-complicator, I'll make you back crack and your liver quiver and I'll rearrange your face with style and grace, and while all the boys in the back are laughin' and jokin', "The Canadian Gigolo" is in the ring, cookin' and smokin'! And the best part is now that I have the gold... I make the rules!

[Logan pauses as the fans boo him mercilessly.]

Mike Logan: Now, I'm feeling a bit generous given the fact that I just beat Johnny Serious for the World Title and since my long-time nemesis, "Hop-Along Hay-Seed", has a match against me tonight... I'm about to make him an offer he can't refuse. If he beats me in that squared circle tonight, then maybe, just maybe, I might be inclined to give him the next title shot that is IF he can beat the "Canadian Gigolo"!

[Mike Logan drops the microphone in the ring as he and Sabrina give each other a disgusting deep, sloppy kiss as Logan awaits the arrival of his opponent for the evening.]

Nelson: That was absolutely disgusting! A golden shower? Really?

Tiger: Well, it looks like he's giving his first title shot to Barrett Hawk if Hawk can beat him one on one in the ring tonight.

Hart: Hop-Along Hay-Seed is in for a long night...

["Simple Man" hits the PA system. As the intro passes, Barrett Hawk makes a relaxed walk down the aisle with the American flag draped over his shoulders, and his trademark cowboy hat on his head.]

Benson: And his opponent. He weighs two hundred and twenty pounds, from Sulphur Oklahoma. Barreeeeett Hawk!

Nelson: After collecting his biggest win in his cWo career at Summertime Bruise things just get bigger and bigger for this man Barrett Hawk when he defeated Andrew Phillips fair and square in the center of the ring. It could be said that his luck has finally turned around.

Tiger: You've referred to him as the unluckiest man in the cWo in the past, but I think you could be right. Things have really turned around for the blue collared Simple Man from Sulphur Oklahoma.

Hart: Yeah alright...listen Barrett Hawk's great and all but he's not the World Champion Mike Logan. Mike Logan's a guy who's sent Johnny Serious to the hospital so many times he's probably begging for healthcare reform!

[Barrett Hawk stands at ringside, as he carelessly throws his cowboy hat towards the fans at his left, and the American flag from his shoulder to the fans on the right, then enters the ring, taking to the second rope, gesturing his love to the audience.]

Nelson: Well all politics aside both of these men are proven threats in the cWo, and if nothing else it's admirable of Logan to grant Barrett Hawk this World Title opportunity.

Hart: Among many other admirable traits.

Nelson: Anything else admirable about Mike Logan is just a myth.

[Hector Garcia gets between the two in the center of the ring as he calls for the bell.]

DING DING DING

Nelson: The bell sounds the start of the match between these two men, both with huge momentum going into this match.

[Hawk and Logan slowly approach one another, closing into the center of the ring before locking horns.]

Tiger: Uncanny momentum Joel. This is sending two giant boulders down opposing hills and seeing which one cracks.

[Logan places Hawk in a waistlock, as Hawk struggles to break loose.]

Nelson: Logan a master of mind games, unafraid of breaking the rules.

[Logan hoists Hawk up and takes him down on his stomach with a belly to back takedown. He then floats over and places Hawk in a front face lock.]

Nelson: Barrett Hawk a straight laced, blue collared, refers to himself as a Simple Man, two opposite ends of the spectrum.

Tiger: Logan's showing that he has wrestling prowess too right here.

[Logan then transitions into a grounded hammerlock on the Simple Man. He releases the hammerlock as he alternately slaps Barrett Hawk aggressively in the back of the head with both hands.]

Nelson: But that cockiness just comes shining through.

[Logan backs away, innocently raising his arms and laughing at Barrett Hawk as Hawk looks on looking frustrated.]

Hart: The Sexual Intellectual has every reason to be cocky.

[Hawk gets back to his feet, as the two approach each other again.]

Hart: How can you be World Heavyweight Champion without being a little cocky?

Nelson: Johnny Serious comes to mind.

Hart: And he's not a Champion anymore!

[As the two go in for a collar and elbow tie up, but Logan stops himself short and slaps Barrett Hawk in the face.]

Hart: Oh!

[Hawk pauses, looking overwhelmed with emotion after the slap, as Logan begins to backpeddle.]

Nelson: Mike Logan's really pushing his luck.

[Hawk makes chase to Logan, fans cheer as Logan runs around the ring with Hawk hot on the trail.]

Nelson: And it's giddee-yup for Mike Logan as he crossed the line and he knows it!

[Logan hides behind Sabrina Swallows, who belts out a panicked yelp as he grasps her by the shoulders, using her as a human shield. As Hawk catches up, he hesitates to act, as Logan shoves Sabrina into him. Hawk stops her, as Logan rushes in to the ring.]

Nelson: That's our World Champion everyone.

[Hawk follows in the ring, as Logan drops a quick elbow on him.]

Hart: It's all mind games with Mike Logan. You know he's gonna make it up to her when the night's done!

[Logan drops repeated elbows against the right shoulder of Barrett Hawk, then locks him into an arm lock.]

Hart: We've seen it all before with these two, Mike Logan sets the trap and Barrett Hawk walks right into it. That's why they call him the Simple Man!

[Hawk rises to his feet while Logan clamps down on the arm lock.]

Tiger: Might as well call Logan the Simple Man right now as he's adhering to the basics.

[Logan taks Hawk down with an armdrag. Impressively he rolls Hawk over quickly and places him in a double chickenwing.]

Tiger: When it comes down to it you gotta admit Logan can get down and wrestle when he needs to and look at this! Beautiful chicken wing pin!

[Logan pins Hawk's shoulders down with a double chicken wing pin.]

ONE

TWO

[Hawk kicks out at a very early two. Both men rush to their feet as Hawk downs Logan with a devastating right hand.]

Tiger: Oh!

[The snap of Hawk's right hand connecting with Logan's jaw prompts the audience to gasp.]

Nelson: Barrett Hawk, perhaps out of frustration just jacked Logan's jaw with that right hand.

[Hector Garcia gets in Hawk's face, warning him about the closed fist as Logan crawls in a daze towards the corner.]

Hart: That nitwits gonna get himself disqualified when a Title opportunity is on the line here!

Nelson: Barrett Hawk's just going by the saying "an eye for an eye".

[Logan gets up in the corner, as Hawk rushes him with a running clothesline, squashing him in the corner.]

Nelson: And with that the ball is in Hawk's court now!

[Hawk then sends Logan down towards the center of the ring with a hip toss.]

Nelson: Hip tosses him to the canvas!

[Logan gets up, stumbling back into the ropes. Hawk then clotheslines him over the top rope.]

Nelson: And he's out of there!

[Fans cheer as Logan falls to his stomach on the outside. Sabrina Swallows tends to the Champion as Hawk with both hands gestures his love to the crowd.]

Nelson: And the Fargo crowd collectively in support of Barrett Hawk tonight!

Hart: You know what you call a Barrett Hawk fan? Simpletons! Haha!

Nelson: Very nice Robbie.

Tiger: Don't look now...

[As Hawk sees Logan getting to his feet, he runs against the ropes farthest from him.]

Tiger: I think Hawk's gonna fly! Lookout!

[As Hawk prepares to take a dive to the outside, he stop himself in time as Logan takes notice and gets out of harms way.]

Nelson: False alarm as the benefits of having Sabrina Swallows ringside is showing for Logan.

[As Logan turns his back to Hawk, Hawk takes to the apron instead.]

Tiger: That's not gonna stop Hawk from the looks of things!

[Hawk goes for a double axehandle off the apron which connects against the back of Logan. Logan stumbles into the guard rail, falling down on his knees before them.]

ONE

Nelson: Barrett Hawk is bringing it!

[Barrett catches up with Logan, grabbing him by the head and throwing him head first into the guard rail.]

TWO

Nelson: And Logan's head slammed against the guard rail!

THREE

[Hawk pulls Logan up from the guard rail, as he attempts an irish whip.]

Nelson: Oh-oh lookout!

FOUR

[Logan reverses the whip as Hawk is sent towards the steep steps, he falls, colliding shoulder first into the steps.]

Hart: Yes!

Nelson: Logan saved himself by reversing the course of an irish whip and turning it on Barrett Hawk, and Hawk hit those steel steps hard.

FIVE

Tiger: Looks like his right arm took the brunt of the damage. Could make it more difficult to hit those European uppercuts that make him so dangerous.

[Cameras look at Hawk, who's clutching his arm tight, wincing in pain.]

SIX

Nelson: If Logan is perceptive enough to focus on that arm this could be the beginning of the end for Hawk.

Tiger: It would be wise for Logan to focus on that arm, definitely.

[Logan brings Hawk to his feet, and brings him into the ring.]

Nelson: This match being taken where it belongs.

[Hawk sits in the ring clutching his arm, as he lays down on the mat. Logan follows after, getting to his feet, he lays a kick into the shoulder of Hawk.]

Nelson: And it looks like he's following suit on that arm.

Tiger: Any experienced wrestler would capitalize on something like that.

[Logan follows after Hawk, who attempts to roll away from Logan, and lays in yet another kick to the shoulder.]

Hart: Come on Logan, pull him in the middle of the ring and get him in a submission!

[Logan assists Hawk to his feet, and wrenches his right arm.]

Nelson: The face says everything, Hawk is definitely being handicapped right now.

Tiger: Barrett Hawk is right handed-

[Hawk attempts to fight back with a knife edge chop, but Logan keeps the arm wrenched.]

Tiger: Oooh. Whether you're left or right handed-

[Hawk fights back with another chop.]

Tiger: ...if your dominant hand is injured it's hard to go about your daily life, let alone out wrestle someone like Hawk has to do here.

[Logan pulls Hawk in closer and places him in an armlock.]

Tiger: And it's back to that armlock.

Hart: Hawk is stuck, he doesn't know what to do anymore!

Nelson: That may be the case right now.

[Out of desperation, Hawk grabs a hold of Logan's hair, trying to pry Logan off of his arm. Logan immediately shouts "hair! Hair!", prompting Hector Garcia to warn Hawk.]

Hart: Hector Garcia's gonna have to keep an eye on Hawk, people call Logan a rule breaker!

Tiger: Indicative of the desperate situation Hawk is in right now.

[Hawk clenches his left fist, his hand rattles as fans clap in support for him.]

Nelson: There's no question what side the fans in attendance are on.

Hart: No one ever said there were standards in Fargo.

[Hawk delivers punches to the midsection of Logan.]

Nelson: Hawk not ready to die yet.

[Fans cheer as Hawk delivers another punch to the gut, Logan backs towards the ropes, and Hawk shoots him off to the other end.]

Nelson: Hawk is free! Logan sent to the ropes!

[On the rebound Mike Logan takes Hawk down with a shoulder tackle.]

Nelson: Hawk down.

[Logan gloats with his knockdown, as he begins to gyrate his hips and rub his body down. Cameras catch a quick glimpse of Sabrina Swallows applauding, saying "you got 'em baby".]

Nelson: Maybe too soon to celebrate.

Hart: He's got this under control!

[Logan rushes to the ropes, as he charges a downed Hawk, Hawk quickly rushes Logan, and trips him down to his chest.]

Nelson: Hawk takes down the Champion!

[Hawk fumbles for Logan's legs, spinning him around and attempting his finishing Texas Cloverleaf.]

Nelson: Going for the Texas Cloverleaf!

Tiger: If he gets this that could be it! The last thing Mike Logan expected!

[Logan reverses the Cloverleaf, pulling Hawk in and pinning him with a small package.]

Nelson: Reversed!

ONE

TWO

Nelson: Kickout at two!

[Both Hawk and Logan rush to their feet, but Logan acts first, hoisting Hawk up over his shoulder, and rushes to the corner.]

Nelson: Logan lifting Hawk over his shoulder and...!

[Logan launches Hawk's shoulder into the top turnbuckle.]

Nelson: Oh!

[Hawk lands on his feet and leans back against the corner.]

Hart: Mike Logan showing why he's the World Champion!

[Logan hooks Hawk's arms over the top rope, exposing his chest, and then lays in an open handed overhead slap.]

Hart: He's just laying it in and Hawk doesn't have an answer for it!

[Logan lays in another chop.]

Hart: Look at that!

[Logan then focuses on the arm again, with it draped over the top rope, he pulls down on it, bending it against the rope. Garcia starts a five count.]

Tiger: Gotta give it to Logan right now.

[Logan stops at four. Hawk attempts to shove Logan away, but aggressively, Logan responds by digging knees into his midsection.]

Tiger: Anything can happen but right now it's hard to argue against Logan for the win.

[Logan stops with the knees, as he hooks Hawk in for a suplex. He hoists him up on the top rope.]

Hart: Well don't look now, but I think it's time for the Ego-Stroke! This could be it right here!

[Fans desperately call out for Hawk to break free as his legs lean over the top rope.]

Nelson: This could be the match ending move here!

[Hawk resists the finishing neckbreaker, pulling himself down from the top rope and down on the apron.]

Nelson: Oh! Maybe not!

[Logan releases Hawk, and attempts big right haymaker, but Hawk ducks it and rams his shoulder into Logan's gut. He follows up with a sunset flip.]

Nelson: Sunset flip!

ONE

TWO

[Logan kicks out, Logan is then quick to get up and lay a kick into the right arm of Hawk.]

Nelson: No!

[Logan then clamps the top rope, and presses his knee down against the shoulder of Hawk, Hawk screams in pain as Garcia counts up to five.]

Nelson: And it's back to the arm.

[Logan releases the pressure at four. He then begins bringing Hawk to his feet.]

Tiger: It's his best winning opportunity right now and he's smart to capitalize.

Nelson: It still won't be easy from here, knowing how much Hawk wants that World Championship glory, it really won't be easy.

[Logan then hooks Hawk in for a vertical suplex.]

Hart: Is he gonna try again for the Electric Boogaloo?

[Logan lifts Hawk up, and leans his legs over the top rope, but Hawk's legs slingshot off the ropes, and he uses his momentum to flip forward and land on his feet.]

Hart: What the!

Nelson: What an escape!

[Hawk runs against the ropes.]

Nelson: Hawk hits the ropes!

[Hawk comes from behind Logan, who attempts to take Hawk down with a back hand, but it misses. On the rebound, Hawk tries for a back elbow, but Hawk dodges. On the third rebound, Hawk charges Logan with a clothesline, but Logan does the same, causing them to collide and fall to the mat.]

Nelson: What a collision! Both men are down!

Tiger: I've never seen Hawk move so fast!

Nelson: That kind of hunger brings out the best of everyone. Hawk wants to be known by his peers as the best and there's no better way to do that than to win this match.

Hart: Look at this!

[Logan rolls over and pins Hawk.]

ONE

TWO

[Hawk kicks out.]

Hart: All Hawk did was buy himself time, but it doesn't look like it's enough!

[Logan shakes his head in disapproval as he gets up to his feet. Once up he delivers a stomp again to the right shoulder of Hawk. He continues into the Logan Stomp, methodically kicking different parts of Hawk's body.]

Nelson: Things continue to look dire for the potential contender.

Tiger: He started looking strong, but right now we can still look back at Hawk being sent into those steel steps as the turning point of this match up.

Nelson: Logan with what he calls the Logan Stomp. Slow and accurate kicks to the limbs of Barrett Hawk.

Tiger: It's like a Pro Wrestling version of a Saw movie. Just picking apart the body like it's a game.

[Logan concludes with a leg drop over the neck of Hawk.]

Nelson: And a leg drop to top it all off.

[Logan follows up with another leg drop. He gets up and gingerly backs into the ropes.]

Nelson: Against the ropes now...

[Logan walks towards Hawk, and goes for a big final leg drop, but Hawk moves out of the way, causing Logan to land on his tailbone.]

Nelson: Misses the legdrop.

Tiger: Hawk going for broke again!

[Hawk again quickly and desperately tries to connect with the Texas Cloverleaf.]

Tiger: He's got the legs crossed!...

[Hawk turns Logan over to the pleasure of the fans.]

Tiger: Texas Cloverleaf! Center of the ring!

Hart: No no no no no! Get outta there Mike!

Nelson: It's on tight.

Tiger: And Mike Logan is feeling it!

[Logan screams in agony as Hawk nods his head intensely, focusing on torquing the hold as much as possible.]

Nelson: If Logan can keep his promise, we could be looking at the number one contender for the World Heavyweight Championship!

Hart: Logan doesn't quit! He doesn't give up! That's it Mike! Crawl! Crawl!

Nelson: He's crawling for the ropes.

Tiger: So close yet so far as they say. When you're in the kind of pain Logan must be in, a few feet can look like a hundred miles, but those ropes are his only hope right now.

[Logan crawls and crawls, slowly and finally getting the ropes.]

Nelson: And he did it! Logan has the ropes!

[Fans boo as Garcia informs Hawk that Logan has the ropes.]

Hart: Alright let go!

[Hawk holds on a little extra for a count of two, then releasing the hold. He falls to his knees as he clutches his right shoulder.]

Tiger: That arm still bothering Hawk, having to apply that pressure to the Texas Cloverleaf must have strained it.

[Hawk shakes it off, as he gets up and approaches Logan, bending over to pick him up, but Logan pokes him in the eyes.]

Tiger: Oh!

Nelson: Rake of the eyes by Logan.

Hart: Which would have been completely fine if Hawk done it right?

Nelson: I'm not saying anything Robbie!

[Hawk turns away from Logan, rubbing his eyes. Logan painfully gets up, and turns Hawk to face him.]

Nelson: Oh! Logan now with a single arm DDT.

Tiger: That right arm again.

Nelson: Lateral press!

ONE

TWO

Nelson: Hawk kicks out.

[Logan sits on his knees, nursing his back. He gestures for the end of the match as cameras catch him saying "Sex-Drive baby!"]

Hart: You hear that? Sex-Drive!!!

Nelson: I heard it.

[Hawk struggles on his hands and knees, as Logan goes to assist him up, he places him in a front face lock position, preparing for his spinning DDT.]

Hart: Here it comes!

[Hawk spins out of it.]

Nelson: Wait!

[Hawk then delivers a series left snap jabs.]

Nelson: Hawk fighting back! Jab after jab! Blow by blow!

[With Logan stunned, Hawk then takes the opportunity to send him to the floor with a discus right.]

Nelson: Spinning right hand from Hawk!

Tiger: At the risk of his own health.

[Logan slowly rises to his feet, as Hawk takes him down with a clothesline.]

Nelson: Hawk now with a clothesline.

[Logan rises again, and is again taken down with another clothesline.]

Nelson: And another!

[Logan gets up again, as Hawk takes him down with a body slam.]

Nelson: Scoop slam!

[Hawk then staggers over to the ropes, and exits to the ring apron. Meanwhile Logan slowly recovers.]

Hart: What now?...

[Hawk waits, as Logan comes near recovery, he then leaps up to the top rope and springboards towards Logan.]

Nelson: Springboard clothesline!

[After connecting the clothesline, Hawk lands on his feet, again heavily clutching his right arm.]

Tiger: He's on a tear right now!

Hart: What's he doing now!

[Hawk goes back to the apron on the other side of the ring than before. He again, with Logan down, leaps up and springboards off.]

Nelson: And a springboard elbow drop!

Tiger: Could be it!

[Hawk goes for the pin.]

ONE

TWO

Nelson: Close!!

Hart: My heart stopped! Logan you gotta do something!

[Frustrated, Hawk takes a moment, looking frustrated as he still clutches his right arm. He points up to the top rope as he looks to the audience.]

Nelson: Could it be time for the move that put away Andrew Phillips?

Tiger: That's gotta be what's on his mind. Logan's down and out and this would put it over the top.

[Slowly and exhaustedly, Hawk goes to the corner and begins to climb.]

Nelson: It's always uneasy watching him go for this move, it's a high risk high reward situation, but that risk puts you on the edge of your seat.

Hart: It's a slow painful climb for Hawk, but this could be the necessary last step.

[Hawk is on the top rope as the fans clamour for him to land the move, but Logan becomes aware, and as quick as he can rolls to the outside of the ring. Hawk steps down from the top rope, as he looks on at Logan.]

Nelson: What the?

[Sabrina approaches Logan, he mutters something to her, prompting her to walk away.]

Nelson: What's going on?

Hart: I don't know!

Tiger: Logan appears to be...walking away?

[Logan huffs and puffs as he walks up the aisle away from the ring, Hector Garcia implores Hawk to stay in the ring as he begins a count.]

Nelson: He's taking his ball and running from this match!

ONE

TWO

[Sabrina Swallows hurries after with Logan's belt in tow as Logan walks away.]

THREE

Nelson: He's had enough and he's walking out, that's our World Champion folks!

FOUR

Hart: Well Barrett Hawk stepped out of line many times in this match.

FIVE

Hart: I think Logan just got sick of it!

SIX

Nelson: I think Logan's pride is hurt, he arrogantly put contendership up-

SEVEN

Nelson: ...and now Hawk has him between a rock and a hard place.

EIGHT

NINE

TEN

[Hawk looks on at the stage area, where Logan stops. Frustrated he brushes his hands through his hair and clutches his head.]

DING DING DING

Nelson: Well that's it then isn't it?

Benson: The winner of this match is a result of a count out. Barreeeeeett Hawk!

[Hawk looks noticably upset as Garcia raises his arm in victory. Logan raises his title and looks on smiling at Hawk.]

Nelson: Well Hawk wins, and if I didn't know better I think that means he's the number one contender.

Hart: You can't become number one contender on a count out!

Nelson: Who says you can't? We can't help it Logan tucked tail and ran! The way I see it Barrett Hawk is the number one contender, and that's the end of story for me.

Hart: Well I think that's up to our World Champion.

Nelson: Not if Tony Awesome has anything to say about it. Folks coming up next is our second main event, a match we didn't expect to see tonight...

[A graphic showcases Muru versus Tito Barnes.]

Nelson: Tito Barnes of Face Turn takes on the former United States Champion, Muru in singles action. After this...

[Commercial Break.]

Muru vs. Tito Barnes

DING DING DING

Benson: The following contest is our second main event of the evening and is scheduled for one fall.

[“Ladies and Gentlemen” by Saliva erupts throughout the arena as Muru makes his way out onto the ramp dressed for competition. The crowd cheers loudly as he makes his way to the ring.]

Benson: Entering the ring first, weighing in at two hundred and twenty five pounds. From Allen Park, Michigan. Muuuuuuruuuuuuu!

Nelson: For those who just tuned in, and if you missed Summertime Bruise, yes Muru is back and tonight he makes it official!

Tiger: I'm excited for this. We weren't sure we'd see the sight again.

Hart: Enjoy it while it lasts, because he's got Face Turn to deal with.

Nelson: We saw it earlier, where in Victor Emmit's words, Muru "declared war" on Face Turn. If anyone's the man to do it, it's Muru.

[Muru takes to the ring, sliding under the bottom rope. He climbs the turnbuckle for the fans to cheer him.]

Tiger: I imagine Chazz Mendel and Devon Dice have eyes on this as well.

Nelson: Devon Dice must be stoked to have Muru back in action.

["Niggaz Can't Sing Rock 'n' Roll" by Mothers Finest hits the PA system. As the funky intro passes, Tito comes out alone to make his entrance for the match.]

Benson: And his opponent representing Face Turn, weighing in at two hundred and forty five pounds. From Vancouver, British Columbia. Titoooooooo Barnes.

[Tito looks a bit concerned as he walks down the aisle.]

Nelson: Conspicuous by their absence it's almost more threatening to see Tito here by himself than it would have been to see him with Face Turn at his side.

Tiger: Muru's gonna have to go this match with eyes on the back of his head to get any success.

Hart: All's fair in love and war, Muru brought this on himself.

Tiger: Just gotta hope Muru has guardian angels watching over him. Because I think we can all agree there are probably a few devils backstage ready to make their presence felt.

[Tito takes to the ring as the ref calls for the bell.]

DING DING DING

Nelson: This one is underway and we will see if Muru still has it.

Hart: I am not sure if Muru ever had it.

Tiger: How can you say that Robbie? Your personal bias aside you have to admit Muru is one of the most talented wrestlers we have in the cWo.

Hart: I won’t!

[The two men lock up and Tito gets the upper hand and he gets Muru into a headlock]

Nelson: Tito is really cinching it in tight. Muru coming off the neck injury this has to be painful.

Hart: Tito is just finishing the job. He is doing Muru a favor and putting him out of his misery.

Tiger: It is a smart move by Tito. When someone has a weakness it only makes sense to exploit it.

[The fans let Tito have it as he taunts them while still keeping Muru in the headlock. Suddenly there is a grimace on his face as Muru hits him with an elbow to the midsection]

Nelson: Muru is trying to break free with a series of elbows and he does it. He bounces off the ropes but Tito catches him with a clothesline and goes right back to working on the neck of Muru.

Tiger: It is early on but Muru looks a step slower than I remember him.

Hart: Like I said, his career is over. He should just face facts.

[Muru is fighting through the pain and gets to his feet. He then falls to a sit down position and drives the top of his head into the chin of Tito]

Nelson: A nice counter by Muru and Tito is holding his jaw. He turns around and Muru delivers a drop kick to his chest which sends him through the middle rope to the outside.

Tiger: Tito is catching his breath out there and Muru is just waiting for him in the ring. This is a bit unusual.

Hart: Yeah Muru normally would be flying over the top rope like a maniac. I for one am glad for the change of pace. Now if only he walked out of the ring…

[The referee is making his count but Tito is taking his time]

FIVE

SIX

Nelson: Tito finally back in the ring and to his feet. He looks across the ring at Muru and then charges at him. Muru brings him to the mat with a drop toe hold and then connects with an elbow to Tito’s back.

Tiger: I think Tito might have thought Muru wouldn’t be that quick but he paid for it.

[Muru now pulling Tito to his feet and lifts him off his feet before sending him to the back with a suplex. He follows that up with a leg drop and then goes for a quick cover]

ONE

TW…

Hart: Kickout! Tito isn’t going out like that!

Nelson: Muru keeps on the offense and is stomping away at the fallen Tito. He then pulls Tito back to his feet and whips him into the turnbuckle.

Tiger: Ouch Joel. Muru just got a face full of boot as Tito was able to get his foot up.

Hart: Now we are talking! Tito is back in control.

[Tito comes out of the corner and hits a bulldog and then goes for a cover of his own]

ONE

TWO…

Nelson: Muru gets his shoulder up but it was closer than I thought it would be.

Tiger: Joel a win over Muru would do a lot for Tito and Face Turn.

Hart: It would do a lot for me as well Peter…

Nelson: I don’t understand the hatred Robbie.

Hart: You don’t need to.

[Tito lifts Muru to his feet and goes for a suplex. Muru escapes and lands behind him]

Nelson: Muru with a reversal! He now sends Tito to the mat with a Russian leg sweep and he follows that up with a dragon sleeper…

Tiger: Not a dragon sleeper Joel. It looks like he is lifting Tito up and it looking for Spilt Milk!

[Out of nowhere Reg Jr. hops over the guardrail and onto the apron]

Nelson: What is he doing out here? He has no business being a part of this match!

Hart: So it isn’t ok when someone else but Muru does it? Double standard!

[Muru releases the hold and walks to the ropes and grabs a hold of Reg Jr.]

Tiger: I think Muru is finally going to get his some payback…

Nelson: He needs to look out behind him.

Hart: Shhh don’t say anything Joel!

[Tito has made his way to his feet and sees what is going on. He tries to get the drop on Muru by charging in but Muru is able to duck out of the way]

Nelson: Muru moves and Tito almost hits Reg Jr.

Hart: The key word being almost…

Tiger: Tito and Reg Jr. look at each other like they just avoided something big.

[Robbie Hart almost jumps out of his seat]

Hart: Tito watch out!

[Tito turns around and Muru kicks him in the midsection and then connects with a swinging neck breaker]

Nelson: Around the World!

Hart: Damn!

Tiger: Tito is flat on his back and Muru is staring down Reg Jr. who is back down the ramp.

Nelson: Muru is down by turnbuckle and looking out to the crowd. They are cheering him on and I think he is going to go for it.

[Muru climbs to the top rope and looks down and Tito before he leaps]

Nelson: Muru Splash! He has hit it!

Tiger: This could be academic…

ONE

TWO

[Before the referee can count three Victor Emmit is in the ring and stomping on Muru. The referee has no choice but to call for the bell]

Nelson: Muru could have won the match right there but Emmit has to interfere.

Hart: They say payback is a bitch Joel.

Tiger: Muru is going to win the match by disqualification. I am sure that isn’t how he wanted to pick up his first victory since returning.

[Notorious JON is entering the ring over the top rope now and he joins in on the attack of Muru]

Nelson: Notorious JON has Muru set up and it looks like Emmit looks like he is going to explode with some T.N.T.!

[Sprinting down the ramp and sliding into the ring are Devon Dice and Chazz Mendel]

Hart: What are they doing out here? They are ruining everything.

[Emmit and JON scramble from the ring]

Tiger: It looks like they are saving Muru from what could have been a disaster. Now they are checking on Muru and he appears to be ok.

Nelson: I am not sure the same can be said about Tito!

[Tito who was still lying on the mat after being hit a MuruSplash is finally getting himself to his feet]

Tiger: I think he just noticed how much trouble he is in. He is outnumbered three to one.

Hart: This isn’t fair!

[Tito tries to get away but Muru grabs him and throws him into Dice]

Nelson: Hard Eight!

Tiger: It is time to take out the trash.

[Mendel picks Tito off the mat and throws him over the top rope]

Hart: Is this any way to treat a member of the greatest band of all time?

[Face turn is outside the ring and Muru, Mendel and Dice are inviting them back into the ring but they are having none of it]

Nelson: Face Turn might have to regroup and rethink things.

Hart: They had things planned perfectly. If it wasn’t for Mendel and Dice they would have rid cWo of Muru for good.

Tiger: That may be so Robbie but it is going to take more than underhanded tactics when the “faces” of cWo stand united.

[The members of Face Turn are outside the ring apprehensive about getting back in the ring]

Nelson: We are out of time. For Robbie Hart and Peter Tiger this is Joel Nelson. See you all next week!

[The camera fades to black as Muru, Devon Dice and Chazz Mendel stand united in the ring]
