The Road to Spring Breakage 4-12-07

[Tito Capaci]

Before the opening song even starts, the camera is fixed in Tito Capaci's office where Josh Eagles has been on camera for the first time. The crowd isn't sure to boo or cheer the controversial grappler formerly of the UWL.

Eagles: Capaci, let me make this simple for you. Back in the UWL, Reck and I had started a best of five series with the winner getting a shot at the title. It ended up getting scrapped. But the people have spoken and they want to see that come about again.

Capaci: The people have spoken? What the hell? Have you been taking gallop polls or something?

Eagles: I get fan mail every day. Does that count.

Capaci: Can I be honest, Josh?

Eagles: I don't expect you to be tactful with me. You never have been. Fire away.

Capaci: I think you're too old. Reck has passed you up. You've beat yourself to hell, man. When I first saw you, you were as good as anyone I've seen. But you've just lost that touch. And Reck? Reck is better than I've ever seen him. He's in his prime. He doesn't need you to get a shot at the title.

Eagles: Maybe not, but you need ratings, right?

Capaci: Always.

Eagles: Then I'll make you a deal, Mr. Capaci. Start that five match series between Maverick and Eagles. If the ratings don't get a significant boost, I'll literally kiss your ass on live television.

Capaci: You know, Josh. You just made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

The two men shake hands as "Cocky" by Kid Rock begins to blare over the PA system. The crowd stands to its feet as the "Road to Spring Breakage" begins. During the introductory song, highlights of several POW wrestlers begin to show on the screen. Finally, the commentating crew of Alex Pilgrim and Tony Almanti begin to speak over the music.

Pilgrim: Power On Wrestling is back and we're only one short week away from Spring Breakage! Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Alex Pilgrim and my very colorful color commentator is none other than Tony Almanti. Mr. Almanti, that was a huge bombshell.

Almanti: Are you kidding me? A best of 5 series with Reck and Eagles! Unbelievable! They've done this before, but it didn't get any closure. Mr. Capaci is going to give them that closure right here in Power On Wrestling!

Pilgrim: And the stakes are high! The POW Heavyweight Championship will be one match away to the winner of the series! But as intriguing as the future is for POW, the present is just as compelling. Tonight, some matches could really define the careers of some of these wrestlers.

Almanti: Murderous Entertainment will take Midnight Felon and Night and take on the aforementioned Reck Maverick and the POW Heavyweight Champion in Shawn Stevens. I can't imagine how that is going to go down, because there is no love lost on either side! But the match of the night has to be between Big Ci and George Duke for the POW Valor Championship!

Pilgrim: It is two of our most accomplished stars. Not to mention that George Duke is probably the universally hated member of the POW roster and just about everyone that is a POW fan is a Big Ci fan. It should be lights out!

Almanti: Speaking of lights out....

The arena lights go dim, and Closer by Nine Inch Nails begins to blare over the sound system. Orge Lambart exits the backstage area, he's dressed in a long black cape and a red glow surrounds him.

Pilgrim: And tonight we get a chance to take a look at some guys for the very first time. And Orge Lambert is a beast of a man!

Almanti: He actually calls himself "The Beastmaster." I'm just flat out frightened by this guy.

As he makes his way forward he's followed closely by his devout follower S'ven. Also dressed in a black robe. When the pair reach the ring, Orge slides into the ring, making his way to the center, once in the center of the ring he lets the robe slide off his body and hit the floor.

Pilgrim: And here comes Ron Nicastro.

"Eye of the Tiger" plays and Ron comes out onto the stage and stares at the people. He throws his fists in the air and begins walking to the ring. He gives a few high fives to the fans as he walks down the ramp. He jumps onto the apron and jumps over the top rope. He walks to the ropes and steps on the second rope to taunt to the fans. He turns around and stands in the middle of the ring.

Almanti: Oh boy. He's one of "those."

Pilgrim: Shut up, Tony.

Suddenly, Fragile by Lacuna Coil begins to play over the PA system. David Hilt walks forward from the back, slapping the hands of a few fans, then turns around, walking backward down the ramp to face (and pump up) the crowd. Near the end he throws his arms up twice (sort of like in the fan favorite ramp entrance in svr2k7) and turns around, almost on one foot, and dashes toward the ring.

Almanti: Another so-called "fan favorite." Conformers, I tell you! The lot of them!

Pilgrim: I have no problem with a wrestler who appreciates the fan base!

Almanti: You're so damn naive, it's ridiculous, Alex. He's just trying to sell more t-shirts!

Pilgrim: That can't be it. He doesn't even have his own t-shirt yet.

Almanti: That should tell you something right there!

Hilt slides in under the bottom rope, and quickly pushes himself up to his feet. He does a 360 spin with his arms spread out (looking confident, of course) then jumps on the bottom rope nearest him, talking to the crowd for a couple seconds, with the general "look at me, get excited," gestures. Afterward, he jumps off (spinning around in the process, toward a turnbuckle) and runs toward it. Near it, he jumps all the way to the top rope, and (squatting) holds both sides of the corner to balance for a bit, then continues talking out toward the crowd, using various arm/hand gestures to get them excited. He jumps off, and bounces off the ropes.

Pilgrim: But here comes a wrestler a lot of UWL holdover fans know a lot about.

As the drums and guitars blare out from 'Alive and Amplified' by The Mooney Suzuki, the lights around the entrance rotate red-and-gold lights all around the arena. Once the opening kicks in, Kid somersaults out of the curtain and onto his knees to amazing cheers.

Pilgrim: And another big-time wrestler makes his debut here in POW!

Almanti: There is no doubting Kid Luck's accomplishments in the UWL. He and Josh Eagles held tag team gold for a good while in a company that produced some very good tag teams.

Pilgrim: He will definitely be bringing something big to the POW table.

He jumps to his feet and runs down the rest of the entrance, slapping the hands of the fans as he goes along. He flips and dives between the 2nd and top ropes into the ring. He jumps onto his feet, goes to a turnbuckle and raises his arms before jumping down and waiting for the bell to ring. Tanner Dutton checks all the competitors and calls for the opening bell!

ding-ding

Ron Nicastro vs. Kid Luck vs. David Hilt vs. Orge Lambert

Almanti: Let's get this party started!

The four men stand in the ring staring each other down. The ref makes two of the men go to corners. Ron and Orge move to the corners. The opening bell rings and wasting no time Kid Luck starts the attack on David Hilt . David blocks most of the attacks and comes back with a hard felt closeline to Kid. Kid stumbles back to the ropes. Kid knowing his placement in the ring jumps onto the second rope and goes for the Hurracanrana onto David. Using the momentum from the jump Kid is able to land the Hurracanrana with no problem.

Pilgrim: And to no surprise of the fans, Kid Luck on the early offensive!

Almanti: He's never been one to shy away from a fight and he's taking it right to David Hilt early!

Kid starts beating on David, but David shoves Kid into the corner. Orge taking advantage of the proximity of Kid slaps him on the back and goes straight for David. Kid not beliving he was tagged argues with the ref and finally gets back into the corner. David is dropped to the mat by the quick hard punches from Orge. David gets up from the mat, as he does Orge grabs him and powerbombs him back down to the mat. He covers David for the three count.

Dutton moves in and starts the count.

Kickout!!!!


Pilgrim: A near fall for Orge Lambert!

Almanti: That would have been huge for this man's start in POW!

Pilgrim: All of these guys are looking for their first win here, Alex. Somebody will walk out undefeated, the other three....well, defeated.

Almanti: Thanks for the lesson on deductive reasoning. Captain Obvious.

David and Orge lock up and Orge overpowers David and tosses him to the corner. As David hits the corner Ron slaps him on the shoulder and gets in. Ron rushes for Orge, taking advantage of Ron’s haste Orge closelines him to the mat. Orge takes this opportunity to stomp on Ron’s midsection. David begains to get in the ring still wanting a piece of Orge. The ref gets in the way and argues with David.

Pilgrim: You can tell all of these men want this match victory. They're begging to get in the ring.

Almanti: The only thing bigger than the men in that ring are the egos. They can't stand losing.

Orge quickly takes this opportunity to attack with a groin stomp or two for good measure. The ref gets David to calm back down and looks back to the two men in the ring. Orge picks Ron up and attacks with a Org Ta Driver. Orge drops to the matt and pins Ron and to make sure he doesn’t kick out he hooks the leg as well.

Pilgrim: What impact!

Almanti: Turn out the lights, the party is officially over!

Dutton looks at the men and starts to count.

Pilgrim: And winning his debut here at POW is Orge Lambert!

Almanti: A very impressive start! Too bad he's signed on with POW New England. Those guys just got a freakin' MONSTER!

[Tito Capaci]

The scene cuts backstage where an arguement can be heard. The camera turns a corner and there stands Riley arguing with Reck Maverick.

Reck: There is a right way to do things and a wrong way, Riley. This was the wrong way! I want to earn my shots in Power On Wrestling! Not get them handed to me!

Riley: What do you mean earn them? You and Macros are the best tag team in the company. The very idea you haven't gotten a title shot to this point is ludicrous! I'm a manager looking out for my client! If you have a problem with that, then we have a problem!

Reck: There's no problem Riley. There is no deep quandry or pickle I find myself in. As long as Macros has you for a manager, we're no longer tag partners.

Reck storms off passing Tito Capaci along the way. Riley obviously happy. Capaci stops and grabs Riley by the shoulder. He's the one holding a manila folder this time.

Capaci: You know what this is?

Riley: A copy of the lawsuit?

Capaci: Nope. It's called a pink slip. I got to thinking about that little stunt you tried to pull last week. You and Macros are both suspended indefinitely until I think I need a ratings boost. At the rate POW is growing....you might be waiting for a long-ass time.

Capaci drops the folder at Riley's feet before walking on down the hall.

[Tito Capaci]

Pilgrim: Wow! That's big-time news!

Almanti: Does that mean that Murderous Intent no longer has a match for Spring Breakage? They're worth the price of admission by themselves!

Pilgrim: I'm not real sure what Capaci can pull together, but just one week away, it looks as if noone may be able to stand up to the team that has rocked POW since they got here!

Almanti: Well, we have three teams that might try to make some noise right here tonight.

Richard Huff: Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is a triangle Tag team match and it is scheduled for one fall. In this match the first man to gain a decision will win the match for his team.

So with out further ado, introducing first;

“4 Horsemen” by Metallica blares over the public address system. After a moment Dave Hunter and Lance Erickson emerge from behind the curtain to a chorus of “boos” from the live audience inside the Star Pavilion. This does not bother either man, however, with Dave pleased with the reception he has received whilst the look on Lance’s face suggests that he is focussed purely and totally on the match.

Richard Huff: at a total, combined weight of 564lbs, representing the Four Horsemen: XE, the team of “The Predator” Dave Hunter, and Lance Erickson

Both men head toward the ring. When they reach the ring Lance heads for the steps as Dave slides under the bottom rope and stands in the ring. Lance joins him and removes his trench coat and sunglasses. Both men then climb opposing turnbuckles and taunt to the crowd, raising their arms and then flashing the four finger salute to the fans that boo them. They both climb down from the corners. The two Horsemen exchange words in the ring as the stretch out and warm up, going over last minute strategy, as “4 Horsemen” fades out

Huff: Introducing their opponents, first;

“This is why I’m hot!” picks up in the arena as the crowd react accordingly for the arrival of the fan favourite. Tyrese Benson appears from behind the curtain. He is pumped as he walks down the ramp and eventually up the ring steps.

Huff: from Los Angeles, California, weighing 260lbs, TY-REEEEESE BENSON!

He jumps over the top rope and stands in the middle of the ring as the Horsemen exit. He continues to pump himself up, flexing for the crowd. As his music fades out he runs the ropes and warms up.

Huff: And his tag team partner;

“Money” by Pink Floyd plays throughout the arena as the crowd begins to boo. This booing increases to monumental volume as Nick Pickle$, the heir to the Vlasic Pickles empire, emerges from the curtain, flanked by his bodyguard Bubba.

Huff: From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing 250lbs, accompanied by Bubba, this is Nick Pickle$

Pickle$ continues down the ramp, having abuse hurled at him from all sides, Bubba threatening many of the front row with physical violence. Nick climbs the ring steps, followed by Bubba and enters the ring. Upon entry Bubba gets in Benson’s face and the two big men go nose to nose until Pickles leads Bubba away. Bubba leaves the ring as does Benson and Pickle$, as “Money” cuts out.

Huff: And finally;

The arena stays silent for the mean time. In the interim the crowd become restless. Before long a small section begins to chant:

Audience: FLAP!, FLAP!, FLAP!, FLAP!......

This continues for a moment, reaching almost every fan in the pavilion. The chanting then becomes more diverse

Half the Audience: FLAP!

Other Half: ALF!

Half the Audience: FLAP!

Other Half: ALF!

Half the Audience: FLAP!

Other Half: ALF!

This continues for a while before “Bad to the Bone” cuts through the arena and whips the fans into frenzy. Everyone’s Flavourite POW star Flap Flanagan makes his way through the curtain along with Alf who is carrying his cooler full of Dr Pepper

Huff: From Flappyville, Flantario, Canada, at a total combined weight of less than a big screen TV, the team of Alf and the King of Dr Pepper Mountain, “Flanchise” FLAAAAAAAAPPPPPPP FLLLLLLLLLANAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

Both men rush down to the ring and Flap slides under the bottom rope. Alf tries to do the same however he cannot reach the ring apron. After 3 failed attempts he heads for the ring steps and climbs them, handing the cooler to the ring attendant, but only after taking out a couple of cans.

He hands the cans to Flap, who proceeds to head for the turnbuckle with them. He scales the corner and opens the cans, before crashing them together, Steve Austin style. He drops from the corner and heads for the opposite corner but is cut off by Lance Erickson, who stands in front of him and berates him for his lack of focus. As a good will gesture Flap extends his hand, still holding a can of Dr. Pepper, towards Lance. Lance looks for a moment at the can, but then slaps Flaps hand away, knocking the Dr Pepper out of it and out of the ring. Flap looks toward the direction of the can in astonishment.

Tony Almanti: Oh no he dit-n’t!

Flap looks back at his hand and begins to see red. He cannot believe that Lance Erickson has just callously knocked the one thing he hols truly dear out of his hand. He looks back at Erickson, who still has his serious face on. Flap is fuming, his face is turning red, he is about to strike but the from behind Alf comes up and bites Lance Erickson square on the ass. Erickson turns in pain to see Alf standing there ready for combat… but before Erickson can act Flap catches him with the “Almighty and dangerous ROLL UP OF DOOM”. Referee, Tanner Dutton, drops down and counts as the bell rings to start the match;

ding-ding

Lance Erikson and Dave Hunter vs. Ty Benson and Nick Pickles vs. Flap Flanagan and Alf

1… 2… Th-

Erickson kicks out before the referee can finish the count as Nick Pickle$ goes after Alf a Tyrese Benson nails Dave Hunter with some stiff right hands.

Alex Pilgrim: And it has broken down early here in the Star Pavilion as we’ve got everybody going at it all at once:

Tony Almanti: You’re damn right it has Pilgrim, we’ve got a melee on our hands and we’ve only just begun.

Erickson is back on his feet and Flap is taking it to him with right hands as Tyrese Benson clotheslines Dave Hunter over the top rope and follows him out to the arena floor. Nick Pickle$ and Alf have traded places, as now it is Alf who is now chasing Nick around the ring. In the ring Lance Erickson has taken control of Flap with four arm shots to the face. He backs him into the corner and then Irish whips “The Flanchise” into the opposing corner, quickly following him. Flap catches himself in the opposite corner and springs up over the top of a charging Erickson, who hits his chest on the turnbuckle. Flap retreats back to the original corner where Tyrese Benson is standing. Flap tags him in.

Alex Pilgrim: Perfectly OK to tag a member of another team in this style of match.

Lance Erickson recovers from hitting the turnbuckles as Benson steps into the ring. Erickson and Benson circle each other and then lock up in the middle of the ring. Lance catches Benson in a side headlock, followed by a headlock take over. Erickson is in control, but then Benson manages to wrap his legs around Lance’s head and neck in a vice-like hold. Lance attempts to wriggle out of the hold but the power in Benson’s legs is too great.

Alex Pilgrim: Benson’s got Lance in quite a predicament here Tony.

Tony Almanti: Lance is one of the best technical wrestlers in the game. He can get out of this… no sweat.

Lance, again, tries to escape the hold but he is unsuccessful. He manages, though, to turn Benson onto his stomach and arches out of the hold, but maintaining a hold of Benson’s legs. With Benson on the floor, Erickson jumps on his back and begins to spin on his opponents back over and over again before “paint brushing” the back of Ty’s head. Lance stands up and, for the first time in the match, smirks at Benson.

Alex Pilgrim: Erickson getting cocky here Tony

Tony Almanti: and I’m loving every second of it Alex. Lance Erickson is great and he knows it.

Lance, still smiling, walks around the ring. As he passes the corner of Flap and Alf, Alf reaches into the ring and tags himself in as Ty Benson stands up. Erickson glares at Alf who steps in the ring.

Alex Pilgrim: Looks as if Alf wants him some, Tony

Tony Almanti: I hope Lance Erickson knocks that little dwarf into the middle of next week

Erickson makes a move for Alf but is stopped by Tanner Dutton, who orders Erickson back to his corner. Alf stands opposite Benson. But before the two can lock up, Nick Pickle$ yells to Benson, that he wants to take on Alf. Begrudgingly, Benson walks over to the corner and tags in Pickles, who enters the ring quickly. He paces in his corner looking at Alf, who is not backing down. Nick charges at Alf, who catches Nick with a drop toe hold. Nick lands on his front.

Quick as a flash Alf leaps on to the back of Pickle$ and begins to thrust

Alex Pilgrim: He’s ridin’ him like a rollercoaster Tony

Tony Almanti: Imagine the kids… Big nose and a big wallet

Alex Pilgrim: Maybe Bubba could baby sit

Alf gets up off of Pickle$, who leaps up and tags… Flap Flanagan. Before Flap can say anything Pickle$ has leaped out of the ring, gone to ringside, taken a bottle of water from Richard Huff and poured its entire contents over his ass.

Flap enters the ring;

Tony Almanti: What the hells going on here Pilgrim?

Alex Pilgrim: Well remember the rules Tony. Any legal man can tag any member of any team.

Alf goes to tag out but Flap tells him not to. He whispers something in his ear and then drops to his back.

Alex Pilgrim: remember the first man to score a decision wins the match

Alf covers his own partner as Tanner Dutton and the other combatants remember this loop hole in the rules. Dutton drops down and counts as the other four men attempt to break the cover.

All four men reach the ring t the same time and break up the Pinfall. Dave Hunter picks up Alf and tosses him out of the ring. Alf hits his head on the ring apron as he falls and he is left sprawled on the outside of the ring.

Alex Pilgrim: Close call eh Tony

Tony Almanti: close and then some. Pickle$ urgency to escape Alf nearly lost his team the match

Dave picks up Flap. He knees him in the abdomen and then nails him with a sidewalks slam. He hooks the leg as Tanner Dutton counts

Flap Kicks out. Dave stands up and takes Flap by the legs. He applies a Boston crab and sits back in to it. He wrenches at Flaps back. Try as he might Flap cannot escape the hold. Seeing this, Ty Benson enters the ring and breaks the hold before the referee orders him back out of the ring.

Dave picks Flap up and takes him over to the corner places him on the top rope. Dave climbs up for a superplex, but Flap puts on the brakes. He punches Dave a couple of times in the ribs and then bites his head

Tony Almanti: He’s biting him, he’s biting him, come on ref

Flap finally pushes Dave off the ropes and hits the mat hard. Flap repositions himself on the top turnbuckle as Dave regains his vertical base.

Alex Pilgrim: Flap going up top.

Flap leaps from the top rope with a cross body block but the bigger Dave catches Flap in mid air. He leverages Flap onto his shoulder as if for a Powerslam, but Flap kicks his legs and manages to counter with a reverse DDT. Dutton counts

Both men are on the floor. With no Alf to tag Flap crawls towards the corner of Nick Pickle$, whose ass is still saturated with water, and Ty Benson.

Flap tags in Benson, then goes to check on the fallen Alf, as Hunter tags in Erickson. Benson goes to work on the two Horsemen with clotheslines and back elbows. Hunter falls out of the ring as Ty Benson Irish whips Erickson into the ropes. As he comes back off the ropes Lance gets back body dropped. As he stands up he gets caught with a clothesline. This time, as he stands up he gets elevated for a suplex. Lance repositions his weight in mid-air and escapes the hold, landing on his feet. He then catches Ty from behind with a neckbreaker.

Benson stands up slowly and goes to tag in Pickle$, who extends his hand to accept the tag. But at the last minute Nick pulls his arm away and steps down from the ring apron, standing on the ring steps.

Alex Pilgrim: What the hell? Where is Pickle$ going? This match isn’t over.

Tony Almanti: No shit Sherlock.

Alex Pilgrim: And he calls himself a former World Champion

Tony Almanti: Yes he does… and it was stuff like this… picking and choosing his spots that he won those titles

Ty berates Pickle$ but then has to turn away to fight the, freshly tagged in, Dave Hunter… the two exchange blows but then Dave gets the upper hand. He backs Ty up into the corner and Irish whips him to the opposite corner. Dave charges after him but Benson moves. Dave ricochets off the turnbuckles, which makes him stagger back. Ty runs the ropes and connects with the Drive By.

Alex Pilgrim: That’s the Drive By. Hunter’s done.

After hitting his move, though, Ty heads back to his corner. He reaches over the ropes and grabs a hold of Nick Pickle$ lapels. He yanks him over the top rope and into the ring as Lance Erickson attempts to enter the affray, restrained by Dutton. Bubba jumps onto the ring apron to protect his boss but is met with a right hand from Ty, knocking him down. This distraction is enough, however, as Pickle$ has the wear-with-all to nail the distracted Benson with a low-blow. Pickles then drills Benson with a “Vlasic Crunch” in the centre of the ring. He rolls out of the ring and heads for the ramp but then stops. He returns to ringside and pulls a $100 bill from his pocket and places it in his teams’ corner. He and Bubba then exit via the ramp as the crowd boos them.

Alex Pilgrim: That no good, dirty, low-down son of a bitch

Tony Almanti: Easy Pilgrim… he could buy and sell your ass one hundred times over.

Alex Pilgrim: I don’t really give a crap. He’ just left this poor kid to have his ass handed to him

Tony Almanti: All’s fair in love and wrestling

Alex Pilgrim: That’s a crock of shit and you know it

Tony Almanti: Easy… it’s a family show Alex

Benson stands up slowly after being drilled by Nick. Dave Hunter is stood behind him and he is tapping his foot on the mat to a chorus of boos.

Tony Almanti: I’ve got a feeling that Benson’s about to have his heart broken Alex.

Alex Pilgrim: I think you might be right Tony

Benson gets to his feet, he is clearly dazed. He turns around and is met with a “Heart Break Kick” from Hunter, which knocks him out. Dave puts his foot on Benson’s chest as Dutton makes the count;

WINNERS: LANCE ERICKSON AND DAVE HUNTER

Huff: Ladies and gentlemen the winners of the match, Lance Erickson and “The Predator” Dave Hunter, The Horsemen

The bell rings as “Four Horsemen” picks up over the speaker system. Lance Erickson enters the ring as Dutton raises both of there arms in victory. The crowd continue to boo. The camera cut’s to Flap Flanagan who helps Alf to his feet. Flap collects his cooler. As he does so Alf notices the $100 bill in the corner and takes it before Flap has chance to see him. The two then leave up the ramp as the camera returns to show Dave and Lance taunting in the ring.

Pilgrim: Say what you will, but Lance Erikson and Dave Hunter looked mighty strong as a team tonight.

Almanti: They have some nice chemistry in the ring. Hey, speaking of chemistry, maybe Flap and Alf could that mentos explosion thing with some Dr. Pepper.

Pilgrim: Geez, Tony. Stay focused. Guys, stay tuned, the great matches just keep coming! We still have the POW TV Title on the line tonight when Black defends his belt against newcomer, Kaleb Shadix. Danny Danielson will square off against Rich Morrison and of course, the Valor Title is on the line in the main event. Don't go anywhere!

As the show comes back from commercial, Lestat and Showtime are standing toe to toe in the center of the ring with Fire trying to squeeze between them. Shadow, the other opponent in the match, laughs sadistically as he sees his two opponents' hatred for each other.

Pilgrim: Welcome back to "The Road to Spring Breakage!" We are just one week away from the biggest DVD Taping event of the year thus far for Power On Wrestling, but things are really heating up in the ring!

Almanti: Ok, Alex. Correct me if I'm wrong, but these guys are about to try to beat the crap out of each right?

Pilgrim: In a manner of speaking, I suppose.

Almanti: Then they need to quit the bitching and start the hitting.

Pilgrim: I think that's what Manny Salazar has in mind, Tony.

Salazar walks over and pries his way between Showtime and Lestat. he gets in both of their faces to get to their respective corners. He says some encouraging words to Fire and gets her to get out of the ring and drop off the ring apron. Satisfied, Salazar calls for the bell!

ding-ding

Mr.Showtime vs. Lestat w/Fire vs. Shadow

As the bell has sounded...Lestat immediately gets in the face of Showtime. Shadow takes advantage of this and knee's Lestat right in the back, knocking him into Showtime, who falls back into the corner. Lestat turns around and Shadow gives him a throat thrust, which sends him up aganist the ropes. Shadow then whips him off the ropes, but on the rebound Lestat gives Shadow a spinning heel kick.

Pilgrim: Wow, nice impressive move from the unknown Lestat
AP: Yeah, wonder who he learned that from

Lestat gets up, but Showtime scoops him up and atomic drops him, and finishes up with a clothesline. Shadow is coming to, so Showtime leaps onto him into the corner. Showtime then climbs over him and begins to punch Shadow as the fans count along for the 10.

Pilgrim: Listen to them go
Almanti: I wish they would go somewhere, to damn loud
Pilgrim: So grumpy

At 6, Lestat comes up from behind Showtime and picks him up in a crucifix and powerbombs him hard. As he gets up, Shadow comes at him with a boot, but Lestat ducks and Shadow hits the ropes! Fire cheers on from the outside as Lestat rolls him up..........1.......2......but Shadow kicks out. Lestat begins to choke Shadow as the ref urges him to stop. Shadow goes to the eyes, which breaks it.

Almanti: Smart veteran move
Pilgrim: Kinda illegal though

Shadow pulls Lestat up and gives him some upper cuts, but Showtime comes up from behind and bulldogs Shadow right down, but Lestat drops a leg right on Showtime's head as he's down. He covers him........1........2.kickout as Fire looks on anxiously.

Pilgrim: Close there, she is confused about what to do
Almanti: Come with me hunny
Pilgrim: Oh stop it!

Lestat picks Showtime up, but Showtime lays in the elbows to the stomach. Showtime then goes off the ropes and Lestat goes for a clothesline, but Showtime ducks and catches Lestat with a forearm on the return. But Shadow whips Showtime around, slaps a hand around the throat and gives him a "Chokeslam"!

Pilgrim: He nailed it!
Almanti: Thats it, its over

As Lestat tries to get up, he looks to Fire who signals something. As Shadow is measuring Lestat for a chokeslam, Lestat hnags onto the ref to pull himself up. This allows Fire to lean onto the apron and give Shadow a low-blow!

Pilgrim: What the!? That firey fixeon...such a sneak

As Shadow neals in pain, he gets blasted with a "Season Ender"! Shadow goes down hard as Lestat quicly lets go of the ref and runs behind Showtime and dropkicks him right over the top rope. Lestat then covers Shadow.........1......2......3.

WINNER: Lestat

The ref raises Lestat's hand as the crowd gives a mixed reaction. As Huff is going to announce the winner, Showtime quickly gets back in the ring and right in Lestat's face.

Pilgrim: Oh boy
Almanti: Kick him in the face!

Fire also quickly gets in the ring, all nervous. She tries to get between them but they are too heated. Showtime goes to punch, but Fire stops him and pleads with him not to. This allows Lestat to knock Showtime out with a right hand, over Fire's head.

Pilgrim: Oh man, what a shot
Almanti: Knocked out cold

Fire yells at Lestat and he sorta apolgyizes. Showtime rolls out of the ring and looks pissed. Fire leaves the ring and follows him up the ramp, as the two talk.

Pilgrim: Im sure she's getting an ear full
Almanti: And rightfully so!

[Tito Capaci]

Back in the 4 Horsemen's locker room, Lance Erikson and Dave Hunter are celebrating their win. Ci still has his game face on as he has George Duke later in the evening for the POW Valor championship. Suddenly, Greg Kilgreen enters with a microphone.

Greg: Excuse me, guys? I know you have a lot to celebrate and think about, but I have some news you might want to hear and might want to comment on.

The 4HM: XE gather around as Greg prepares to tell them.

Greg: It's just been announced that since M&M is no longer a Power On Wrestling tag team, that Capaci as replaced them on the Spring Breakage card with the team of Dave Hunter and Lance Erikson. What are you thoughts on this?

Lance: All that is, to be quite honest, is Capaci coming to his senses. We've been the best tag team all along. This has been a long time coming.

Dave: This is just a taste of what we can do, Greg. We're not spring chickens. We've been kicking ass and taking names from the get-go. People have doubted. People have said things like "The Horsemen are all but dead." Those people are eating their words. We tried to play Mr. Nice guy. We tried to follow the rules. But nice guys don't finish first, Gregory. We've trimmed the fat by sending Shane Hunter to an early retirement. We will find the perfect replacement, the perfect fit and we show what Murderous Entertainment what a real group of men can do.

Greg: Big Ci?

Big Ci: Tonight, right here in Kansas City, the Horsemen will be welcoming me back as the POW Valor Champion. Next week, it now looks as if all three of us will be wearing gold because I know that Lance and Dave are more than up to the task. I don't want their to be any doubt that the Horsemen are alive and well. And we're taking over.

Greg: Bottom line, guys? The Horsemen ride again.

[Tito Capaci]

The arena goes dark, and suddenly Adema's "The Way You Like It" begins. As the lights flicker back on, Kaleb Shadix is already emerging from the back. At the top of the ramp, he smirks and then begins walking down the ramp. The lights go out, and then come back on repeatedly as Kaleb makes his way down the ramp, only catching mere glimpses of him. As the lights continue flashing on and off, Kaleb finally makes his way towards the ring. He leaps up onto the ring apron and then steps through the middle and top ring ropes. Now, climbing the corner and standing on the second rope he glances about the audience, all the while the lights are continuing their alternation. He flips a quick bird towards the hissing crowd before getting down from the second rope and pacing around the ring as his theme dies down.

Pilgrim: An impressive victory for Shadix last week. Let's see if he can repeat that success.
Almanti: If anyone can beat Black, it might be him. That is to say if anyone at all can beat him.

With a look of disgust and anger, the man who calls himself "The Master of Mean", Black walks towards the ring while "I Stand Alone" blares over the PA. At the steps he looks around at the fans as they show their dislike for him. Not caring he walks up the stairs and steps in between the ropes. After giving away his vest he stands in the corner with his arms folded across his chest.
Pilgrim:There are no favorites here tonight, but it looks like "The Master of Mean" is getting the colder recpetion.
Almanti: They're just jelous - he's the champ!

McElvoy checks the knee pads and footwear of each wrestler before giving the ok for the opening bell!

Black (c) vs. Kaleb Shadix - POW TV Championship

Black charges at the sound of the bell with the Blackness Lariat! He goes for a quick cover.

1!
2!

Shadix kixks out easily and gets to his feet. He slams a right hand in Black's face, causing him to reel back a bit. Another jab misses it's mark, and Black lands one of his own, followed by a headbutt and kick to the chest. Shadix stumbles back and Black lands a Belly-to-belly suplex. Shadix uses the ropes to get up, but Black kicks him in the head to send him back down. He comes off the ropes with a running senton, but Shadix rolls away and gets to his feet. When Black gets up, he finds Shadix waiting for him. The challenger uses an eye-rake to keep his advantage and then drops the disoriented champ with a Running High Kick To Face. He lifts BLack to his knees, but Black pulls out a fireman's carry. He crawls on top of Shadix and locks on the triangle choke. Shadix manages to slide a foot under the ropes and the referee rushes to break the hold.

Pilgrim: Black refuses to break the hold! He could be disqualified!
Almanti: So? He'll keep the title!

Black finally lets go to avoid a DQ. He begins lifting Shadix up, but is met with a lowblow! Black falls to his knees and is eye to eye with Shadix. The challenger rears back and slams a closed fist into Blacks head. Black falls back and rolls out of the ring to recover while the referee scolds Shadix. Shadix slides out past the ref and slams Black's head into the concrete. He pulls the champ to his feet and brings him to the post. Black slides out behind him and sends Shadix into the post instead!

Pilgrim: I think that shot to the concrete opened The Television Champ up. He has a cut on his forehead and it's pouring blood!
Almanti: Shadix isn't looking to great either - look!

Shadix gets to his feet and he is indeed opened up, as well. They meet in the center of the ring and lock horns. Black gains the upper hand and fires off a snap suplex. He lifts Shadix by the arm and pulls him close - Short Arm Lariat! Shadix looks bad as Black signals for the end. He brings Shadix to his feet, but the challenger manages to get away, coming up behind Black and drives a knee into the back. Black falls to one knee and Shadix comes around the front and drops a DDT! Black is down and Shadix drops an elbow on him. Shadix lifts a wounded Black up and sets him up for the piledriver. Black reverses it and backdrops his challenger over the ropes and to the floor!

Pilgrim: Over the top!
Almanti: I want my truck and I want my son.
Pilgrim: What?
Almanti: Nothing... want to arm wrestle?

Black takes a breather instead of following. Shadix is hurt, but gets inside before being counted out. Black is there to meet him, but Shadix dives foward and takes out his legs. Black goes down, hitting his head on the turnbuckles on the way down. Both men are down, Shadix is laying on his side and Black is sprawled out on his back.

Shadix is on his knees! He crawls over to Black and makes the cover! Tom McElvoy slides into position for the pin!

Pilgrim: And a huge win for Kaleb Shadix! Black was undefeated up until this point, but now it's Shadix who remains as one of the few remaining undefeated POW competitors.

Almanti: The question now is, we've had three POW TV Championship matches and three different champions. Is the POW TV Title cursed? Can anyone hold on to the damn thing?

Pilgrim: Ah, every promotion must have a cursed piece of hardware, right? I guess this might be the one!

As the show returns from commercial, Richard Huff stands in the ring.

Richard Huff: The following contest is scheduled for one fall…

"Americas Most Hated" by Kevin Federline begins to play over the speakers in the POW arena. The building goes dark and a single light is shown at the entryway.

Pilgrim: This triange feud between FDCM, Danny Danielson and this man, Rich Morrison created some serious backlash on the fan forums.

Almanti: Three big-time stars. Three big time egos. It's all going to come to a head next week at Spring Breakage. Personally, I can't wait.

Out of the curtain, "New Money" Rich Morrison appears. The crowd is booing loudly as Rich arrogantly walks to the ring. Every footstep corresponds to a beat in his theme song. He slowly slides into the ring. He gets on the middle rope and throws his arms above his head. He steps down from the turnbuckle and "runs the ropes" for a bit. He finally stops, looks into the camera and grins a cocky, toothy grin.

Richard Huff: In the ring, from Manhattan, New York, weighing 210 pounds, “New Money” Rich Morrison!!!

Tony Almanti: Morrison looks prepared tonight, Pilgrim. He’s definitely ready to go.

Alex Pilgrim: He may very well be ready to go, Tony but he’s got his hands full tonight with Danny Danielson…

Richard Huff: …and his opponent…

The lights suddenly go out and the arena is pitch black. The intro to "The Fight" starts to play as the fans cheer in anticipation. As the guitar picks up, yellow lights flash around on the entrance way. Danny Danielson takes a few steps out of the entrance way and stops to look around at the crowd. He tugs on his yellow t-shirt and looks toward Morrison and mouths "I'm the FUTURE of this business!" After a brief moment, Danny Danielson begins his walk down the ramp.

Richard Huff: From Spokane, Washington, weighing in at 220 pounds, “The Future” Danny Danielson!!!

Danielson high-fives a few fans and continues his walk around ringside. Danielson climbs up onto the ring apron and mounts the turnbuckle, posing for the crowd. He jumps down and into the ring, ready for action.

Tony Almanti: Let’s go, folks!

Manny Salazar calls for the bell…

ding ding

Rich Morrison vs. Danny Danielson

Morrison and Danielson immediately lock up. They circle around the ring before Morrison pushes Danielson pushes Morrison into the corner and charges into him with his knee.

Alex Pilgrim: Good god. A knee right in the jaw…I felt that.

Tony Almanti: Haha, that was brilliant…

As Danielson rises from the corner Morrison ignores Manny Salazar’s order to stay back and he charges into Danielson with another high knee. Salazar loses patience and pushes Morrison away as Danielson rises. Danielson straightens up and Morrison goes for a clothesline but Danielson ducks out of the way. Morrison runs into the corner and Danielson runs at him and clotheslines him. Danielson continues the attack and begins to give Morrison knife edge chops in the corner before Salazar requests that Danielson backs off.

Alex Pilgrim: Some very sharp knife edge chops there from “The Future”. Morrison’s chest is red already.

As Morrison makes his way back into the centre of the ring, Danielson bounces off the ropes and goes for a clothesline. Morrison avoids it but Danielson hits Morrison with a T-Bone Suplex.

Alex Pilgrim: Jesus, Danielson has just snapped Morrison in half with that T-Bone Suplex. The ring shook!

Tony Almanti: Morrison will recover. He always does.

Danielson picks Morrison from the mat and hits him with a snap underhook DDT. Morrison’s head smashes onto the mat and Danielson stands up and looks down at Morrison and smiles. While Morrison is still down, Danielson hits him with a double stomp to the face and he walks over to the corner and raises his arms to the delight of the crowd. Morrison rises and stares at Danielson.

Almanti: Don’t turn you’re back on your opponent, Danny. Bad move…

Danielson turns around and Morrison hits him with a running spear knocking him to the mat. He goes for the cover.

1…….2…but Danielson kicks out and Morrison complains to Salazar.

Morrison gets frustrated and throws Danielson over the top rope to the outside.

Alex Pilgrim: Oh God, what the hell’s he doing this for…

Tony Almanti: Shut up, Pilgrim. He’ll do what it takes!

Alex Pilgrim: …ahem. Danielson is lying right infront of us here, folks.

Morrison climbs through the ropes and jumps down to the mat below.

1!

Morrison picks up Danielson and hits a swinging neckbreaker on the mat, hurting his own back as well as Danielson.

Pilgrim: Good god! Right on the concrete!

2!

Morrison stands and picks up Danielson again. Danielson begins to fight back and he punches Morrison in the mid section.

Pilgrim: Fists to the mid section of Rich Morrison.

Danielson then hits a northern lights Suplex on Morrison and returns to the ring.

Pilgrim: Thank God for that!
3…

Pilgrim: And Salazar continues to count as Morrison seems out of it right in front of us!

Danielson climbs to the top rope.

Pilgrim: Oh what the hell is he going to do? Danny this is suicidal!

Danielson performs a moonsaults out of the ring, knocking Morrison back to the mat before he completely straightened up.

Almanti: And they’re both out for the count…It can’t end like this.

1!

2!

3!

5!

And Danielson is up. Danielson steadies himself and rolls back into the ring under the bottom rope. He immediately rolls back outside the ring were he picks up Morrison and rolls him back into the ring, following him. Danielson goes for a Boston crab but Morrison kicks Danielson into the ropes. Morrison quickly gets up hits Danielson with a back breaker.

Pilgrim: Oh my god! What a back breaker. Morrison seems to be gaining the domination in this match.

Morrison climbs the top rope and hits Danielson with a leg drop. He immediately goes for the cover.

1….2……Danielson kicks out!

Pilgrim: No! He’s not done yet…

Almanti: You just wait…

Morrison stalks Danielson as he begins to slowly rise from the mat. As Danielson turns around looking for Morrison, Morrison hits the Queens Cutter ’03.

Almanti: Oh my god! That’s gotta be it. He isn’t gonna get up from that any time soon!

Morrison falls onto Danielson who lies completely out of it on the mat.

1…..…2……..3

Pilgrim: And Rich Morrison wins. He has defeated “The Future” Danny Danielson!

Almanti: That’s right. New Money strikes another victory. What a win for Morrison!

Pilgrim: The stage is set next week. FDCM vs. Rich Morrison is a clash of the two of the biggest names in the industry!

[Tito Capaci]

As the screen in the Star Pavilion flicks on to show Nick Pickles and Bubba, the crowd immediately turns on the "boo" switch. Pickles and Bubba are talking in the hall when Kaleb Shadix walks past. Pickles calls him to attention.

Pickles: Cherib! Hold up!

Kaleb: You better get my name right moneybags before I use Bubba as your personal enima.

Pickles: Whoa-ho, there guy. I'm just trying to make some conversation.

Kaleb: Well talk to someone else.

Pickles: I guess that means, you don't to hear what I have to offer.

Kaleb: Offer, huh? What's that.

Pickles: A match with a former World Heavyweight Champion. Namely...me.

Kaleb: Oldtimer, I don't have time for your crap.

Shadix begins to walk away but Bubba grabs his shoulder. Shadix immediately swings around and grabs Bubba's nutsack and squeezes them until Bubba drops to his knees.

Pickles: Nice, how imagine if you could do that to me at an event as highly publicized as Spring Breakage.

Shadix: So this is what this is all about? You want a title shot? You're out of your damn mind.

Pickles: I'm getting my match next week, Kaleb. You can, uh, BANK on it.

Shadix: Yeah, yeah. The rules state the title has to be defended twice per month. It's already been done. I'm good until May.

Nick takes out a wad of cash and throws it on the ground.

Pickles: Money talks, Kaleb. I'll get my match. Hide and watch.

Pickles tilts his head back and laughs as he starts to head off. Shadix, just happy to see him go, starts to pick up all the money.

[Tito Capaci]

Tony Almanti: Well, Alex...Spring Breakage is next week.

Alex Pilgrim: Damn right it is. And tonight's show is looking to be something Spring Breakage might have a bit of trouble beating.

Tony Almanti: Don't worry, Spring Breakage'll definently come through.

Alex Pilgrim: Right. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, we got a match coming up.

Tony Almanti: The battle that has been going on since the dawn of time...the forces of good once more stack wits against the forces of evil...

Alex Pilgrim: Stack Wits? Let Huff do the Introductions.

Tony Almanti: Good idea, take it down to Huff-man.

Are You Ready For Your Close Ups?
Lights, Camera, Action by Mr Cheeks kicks in on the speaker system as the lights go out. Blue lighting surrounds the entrance area as a hooded Night walks with his back turned to the crowd. His two hands in the air posing. He turns around lifting the hood over as the lights come on. He walks down to the ramp taunting some of the fans along the way before stepping over the ropes into the ring.

Richard Huff: Ladies and Gentlemen, our first competitor...The member of Murderous Entertainment who has succumbed to the dark side and he's liking it! NIGHT!

The lights begin to alternate between dark blue and crimson red as "His World" begins to fill the arena...Over the music the sound of a flute can be heard... it's a familiar tune: The fanfare of the DragonZord!! Doooo - Do, Do - Do Di Doooo!

The chorus of the song begins to play...Suddenly a puff of smoke explodes in front of the curtain and Reck Maverick appears out of thin air. He stands in a cool ninja pose for a second, his eyes darting back and forth and his Dragon Armour and Shredder helmet glimmering in the light then he breaks into a traditional ninja run as he quickly dashes to the ring and dives between the first and second ropes.

He kips up and draws his Blade of Legend. He begins to go into a Kata, swinging the blade and throwing kicks, Finally he drops to one knee and goes to drive the blade in the mat, but he stops short to avoid tearing the canvas - as he is doing the Kata the lights slowly cut of except a single spotlight shining on Maverick. He places the sword back into it's sheath and hands it to a ringside attendant then slowly stands up and removes his Armour and helmet as the lights come back up. With the Armour removed he salutes his fans with a now trademark thumbs up as the music dies. He walks to his corner and sits upon the top turnbuckle as he waits for the contest to begin while Night stands outside of the ring staring at Reck with murder in his eyes.

Richard Huff: And our second competitor. The thing that goes bump in the night, comes with...A HELL OF A BITE! RECK MAVERICK!!!

The audience goes wild as Reck Maverick flashes another thumbs up before turning and giving Night a double thumbs up.

Tony Almanti: Why the hell didn't Night's partner come out?

Alex Pilgrim: I guess they wanted to have the champions enter last...

The lights go out and the logo of S³ appears on the screen. As his music hits and the lights come back on Triple S is standing on the stage in his signature pose with his arms spread in the air. He lowers his arms and walks down the ramp. He makes his way to the ring while the audience cheers him whole heartedly. Shawn Stevens slides into the ring. He holds the title belt up for all to see as Reck Maverick hops down to shake his partner's hand.

Richard Huff: And Reck Maverick's partner for the evening. Mr. "If you had abs like mine, you'd be world champion too", SENSATIONAL SHAWN STEVENS!

Superstar by Saliva begins to blast over the P.A. as Felon slowly steps from behind the black curtain. The intensity in the arena rises instantly as Felon walks with a purpose to the ring, some fans cheering some fans just cant stand the rawness that felon brings to professional wrestling. Midnight Felon charges down the last half of the ramp, tossing his Tag Team titles to a ring attendant. He slides into the ring along with Night who slides in on the other side and the two start going to town on Shawn Stevens and Reck Maverick. Manny Salazar calls for the bell to begin the match.

Good Guys vs. Bad Guys
Shawn Stevens and Reck Maverick vs. Midnight Felon and Night

Midnight Felon pushes Shawn Stevens into the turnbuckle and starts dropping 350 pound bombs all over the place. Night picks up Reck Maverick and throws him on top of Shawn Stevens after Midnight Felon moves out of the way. Midnight Felon rebounds off of the ropes and delivers a huge splash to both men in the corner and is followed immediately by Night who doesn't even give Midnight Felon time to move, adding to the weight crushing the two Good Guys. Shawn Stevens and Reck Maverick fall to the mat limply as Manny Salazar gets between the two bad guys, trying to force one of them to their corner. Midnight Felon pushes the ref out of the way as he and Night pick up their respective dead men. Both bad guys pull the good guys into a bearhug and start squeezing the life out of them. Manny Salazar starts to count for a DQ if one of the men doesn't exit the ring. Felon and Night nod to each other and smash into each other, with the two good guys being crushed between them. Night drops Reck Maverick and exits the ring to his corner before Manny Salazar can get to the count of five.

Tony Almanti: David may have beat Goliath, but we see tonight what would've happened if those two had a tag team match.

Alex Pilgrim: It might not even matter that Manny was gonna disqualify these men. They sure as hell got the damage done. I don't think Reck's gonna move for the rest of the night.

Reck Maverick slowly rolls himself out of the ring, flopping onto the floor below. Midnight Felon tosses Stevens up into a cross body hold and drops the smaller guy multiple times onto his knee and ribs bruise every time he lands. Felon then shrugs his shoulders and falls back, tossing Shawn Stevens with a fall away slam. Shawn Stevens bounces out of the ring as Midnight Felon and Night raise their arms in victory. Manny Salazar begins the ring out count.

(Both Shawn and Reck use the ring apron to get back to their feet.) 4...

Shawn Stevens barely slides into the ring while Reck climbs the ring steps to his corner. Midnight Felon advances on Stevens who, with lightning speed, crawls under the big man's feet and exits the ring to the other side for a breather. Shawn Stevens finally climbs back into the ring, ready to rumble.

Tony Almanti: LOOK OUT! I don't think Stevens wants to ask Midnight Felon to tea with that look in his eyes.

Midnight Felong goes to grab Shawn Stevens, but Shawn ducks around him and kicks one of Felon's knees out from under him. He rebounds off the ropes and drives a leaping knee into the back of Felon's head. Felon grabs the back of his head as Stevens clutches onto the ropes, still breathing painfully. Shawn Stevens ducks under another punch from an irate Midnight Felon and leaps to tag in Reck Maverick. Midnight Felon grabs onto an airborne Shawn Steven's leg and pulls him away from his corner. Because he's angry, Midnight Felon fails to notice the fact that Shawn Stevens actually made the tag. Felon turns away from Reck Maverick (Who is now standing on the top rope) and starts driving fists into Shawn Stevens' gut. Shawn Stevens backs off from Midnight Felon who starts advanding once again. Shawn Stevens, still trying to catch his breath, points over to Reck Maverick. Once Midnight Felon turns around, he sees Reck Maverick already in the air and screaming "GIANT KILLER". Reck Maverick drives his heels into the feet of Midnight Felon, who, with a whimper, falls to the mat. Reck Maverick high fives Shawn Stevens and helps the man to his corner while Midnight Felon crawls over and tags in Night. Night rampages across the ring and picks up Reck Maverick in a reverse bear hug. Reck Maverick somehow manages to make his situation worse by squirming enough that he turns around in the grip to face Night.

Tony Almanti: Well, he may be a great wrestler, but nobody ever said Reck Maverick was the sharpest bulb in the toolshed.

Alex Pilgrim: What...Never mind...

Reck Maverick starts screaming in agony as Night grinds his spinal column into dust. Finally, Reck musters up the strength and delivers a double chop, one hand to each side of Night's neck. After a couple of these, Night releases his hold on Reck Maverick. Reck Maverick slowly hops back up onto the top turnbuckle while Shawn Stevens climbs into the ring. Reck Maverick leaps off and drives a dropkick into Night's grill just as Shawn Stevens delivers his patented Painkiller to the same general location, forcing the big man down to the mat. Reck Maverick covers Night. Before Manny Salazar can even count one, the audience starts booing as Midnight Felon, accompanied by BBK and Daye hop into the ring to interfere. Manny Salazar calls for the bell while BBK and Midnight Felon start laying waste to Reck Maverick and Night and Daye go to town on Shawn Stevens.

Tony Almanti: Whoa whoa...nobody said the Goliath team had reserves!

Alex Pilgrim: This just isn't right!

After a few minutes of Reck Maverick and Shawn Stevens getting killed, George Duke charges down the ramp and into the ring, toting his big dust mop. Midnight Felon notices and turns around, only to be baseball batted in the face by an oversize swiffer mop and flipped over the top rope. George Duke kicks Night in the jewels and jabs Daye in the gut with the handle of the broom. BBK tries to sneak up behind Duke, but gets met with an axe blow from the dust mop which breaks over his head, knocking BBK out. George Duke helps Shawn Stevens to his feet, but leaves a gaggly Reck Maverick slumped over in his corner, with mask completely turned around. George Duke offers his hand to Shawn Stevens who looks at it while the audience cheers. Reluctantly, Shawn Stevens accepts and shakes George Duke's hand. Before two shakes are made, George Duke whips Shawn Stevens around and onto his knees, and locks in his Duke Lock!

Pilgrim: You just can't trust that rat-bastard!

Almanti: And gullible goody-goodies like you and Shawn Stevens fall for this crap every single time!

Shawn Stevens tries to get of the hold, but Duke has it on tight. Finally, security and several referees flood the ring and break Duke apart from Stevens, but the damage done. Stevens is out cold as the POW officials push Duke away from the ring.

Pilgrim: As they clear out the ring, this is sort of a downer moment to break into some good news.

Almanti: Nonsense. There is nothing that can take away what the next duo of guys accomplished in the United Wrestling Company. Richard Huff, take it from here!

[Tito Capaci]

As the ring and entranceway are cleared, Richard Huff takes center stage in the ring with a microphone to make the next announcement regarding the UWC Hall of Fame's first class.

Huff: Each event leading up until SuperMania III, a new member of the first UWC Hall of Fame class will be announced. Tonight, Power On Wrestling, the second inductee will be honored!

Voice Over: We are proud to annouce the second inductee into the UWC Hall of Fame-"



Voice Over: The Baseball Furies came onto the scene in 2004, rounding out in developmental places. They were an intimidating team. With their painted faces and trademark baseball bats to go along with the get up, they quickly became a force.

We see The Slugger and Joey Bats warning their opponents in the early days with a point of their bat.

Bobby McManus: When you looked at them, you knew not to mess with them (laughs). Otherwise, you'd get knocked out of the park.

Simon Winters: And those cleets, man nobody wanted to get those to the face, it hurted like hell.

We see some clips of Slugger and Joey stomping on opponents, leaving marks on each face.

Voice Over: In 2005, The Furies would come to the United Wrestling Company. In a matter of months, they challenged the fan favorites WCW (Jay T Nitro & Havok) for the UWC Tag Titles.

Havok: With that crazy gimmick, although i love the Warriors movie, you couldnt help but underestimate them, but thats when they proved you wrong.

In August of 2005, at the first SummerFest PPV, the Furies would win their first tag team title reign from WCW in a "Bat Match". The fans were certainly shocked and sad to see their favorites fall.

Joey Bats slides to ringside. The Slugger is now back up. He hands Joey his wooden bat. Meanwhile, JTN barely manages to tag in Havok. JTN holds his neck in pain while at ringside. Havok steps in the ring and Joey Bats slides in the ring with his wooden bat. They circle each other in the ring.

Gregory Gold: “It’s cat and mouse here!”

Joey Bats charges at Havok, then suddenly stops. Havok ducks out of motion, but realizes that Joey didn’t come near him enough. It’s too late. Joey swings the wooden bat right into Havok’s skull. Havok falls to the ground. Joey swings the bat at Havok’s stomach, for assurance.

Crowd:Booooooooooooooo!

Doc Williams: “Oh! Joey stopped, to fool Havok!”

Joey Bats drops the wooden bat and hooks the leg of Havok. The ref counts….1…….2……..3! The bell rings!

Voice Over: The Furies would then rack up an impressive reign, defeating teams such as Italian Rampage Syndicate, The Predators and WCW once again.

Dave Hunter: They werent easy to beat, that was for sure. They just worked well as a team and kept their titles.

Another team that opposed them was Payne N Myzery. The Furies would fend well aganist them, but at WNS in November of 05, Payne N Myzery would dethrone the champs....if only for a short time.

Bobby McManus: Alex Payne and Jon Myzery..they were talented and got the upset win, but the Furies wouldnt let that go on for long.

Voice Over: The Furies would get the titles back a month later, and would embark on a second reign. But thats when they ran into their arch nemesis...The Wrecking Squad.

Slugger: What a pain in the rear end this team was (laughs)...tough as nails.

With a feud that made headlines all winter and into the spring, it would finally come to a head at SuperMania 2, where The Wrecking Squad would defeat their long hated rivals and end another impressive reign."

Bobby McManus: The place blew up, the roof went flying. Everyone wanted them to go down. Such a hated, but love team in retrospect

Voice: "The Furies would go on to continue their feud with The Wrecking Squad, which would also include The High Impact Players later on. Trying to regain their titles in such matches as TLCB Matches....but in the end, couldnt get it done.

Jason Daniels: Definitly one of the best teams around, but they couldnt get us in ladder matches, no way (laughs)....but Hall of Fame worthy, as much as i hated them.....yeah.

Voice Over: "This is why we are honored to induct The Baseball Furies into the first class of the United Wrestling Company Hall of Fame!"

We see The Furies, Slugger and Joey coming down that isle one more time in slow motion, swinging their bats and holding that elusive tag gold.

Video Montage Over

Pilgrim: Truly a special moment for a great UWC tag team. Folks, we'll be right back!

[Tito Capaci]

[Tito Capaci]

Tony Almanti: Well Alex, this is shaping up to be one hell of a show the week before Spring Breakage. That and our sister territory in New England kicks it off tonight.

Alex Pilgrim: Yep, New England boss Randall Lovejoy gets his first show this Sunday, hopefully it'll get kicked off with a bang.

Tony Almanti: Pun Intended?

Alex Pilgrim: Oh yeah.

"Out Ta Get Me" by Guns'n'Roses kicks up over the PA as Big Ci walks out with his fist raised up while the crowd pops huge. He jogs down the ramp, slapping the outstretched hands of the numerous fans clamoring over each other to get a high five from the man. Big Ci slides his large frame into the ring and spins around in the center of the ring with both his arms raises for the crowd.

Richard Huff: Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome to our main event! Weighing in tonight at 274 lbs! He is from Charlotte, North Carolina and one of the members of the Four Horsemen, BIG CI!!!

The crowd pops huge for Big Ci as he stretches himself on the ropes.

Alex Pilgrim: Even though he's part of the Horsemen, the crowd still loves this man!

Tony Almanti: Damn right there Alex! Look at him, he's raring to go!

"Death Rides A Horse" plays loudly over the speakers as George Duke steps out from behind the curtain wearing a Royal Blue robe. He makes his way to the ring, ignoring the negative fan reaction. He climbs in through the ropes and walks the ring, arms held high. He takes off his robe and hands it off to the ring attendant before he peels the Valor Championship off of his waist and raises it above his head for the booing crowd to see. George Duke hand the belt off to Benny Lawson who raises it above his head while Richard Huff makes the introduction.

Richard Huff: And your defending Valor Champion! Weighing it at 268 lbs and hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! GEORGE DUKE!

Benny Lawson eyes both men and then calls for the bell!

ding-ding

POW Valor Championship Match
Big Ci vs. Valor Champion George Duke

The bell rings and Big Ci and George Duke go straight into it. The two men lock hand in a test of strength and start pushing at each other. After some time, Big Ci starts to use his size to push Duke's arms back and to his sides. George, seeing his predicament, starts stomping on Ci's right foot with his left. Big Ci grimaces through the first few, but starts to falter. George Duke pushes himself close to Ci and lets go with his hands. He starts to wrap around Ci's midsection, but Ci throws a headbutt into Duke's face. George Duke staggers back, turning around and Big Ci tries to lock in a katahajime. George Duke grabs ahold of Big Ci's left arm and wrenches it around, putting pressure on Ci's shoulder. George rears back and drives a couple of elbows into Ci's torqued shoulder. After doing that, Duke leaps up and grapevines Ci's arm with his legs and drops down into a modified armbar. Big Ci rolls forward, releasing the torque pressure on his arm, but Duke still holds on tight. Big Ci manages to get back to his feet and he forces his elbow to bend for a moment so he can get hold of it with his other hand. He powers George Duke up into the air, but before he can do anything, Duke, being smart, releases the hold. Duke clambers back to his feet and turns to face Big Ci.

Alex Pilgrim: Two of POW's larger men showing they deserve to be in this main event tonight!

Tony Almanti: I coulda sworn I was watching two cruiserweights going at it!

Big Ci and George Duke grab hold of each other and lock into the collar and elbow tie up and start jockeying for position. George Duke drops down to his knees and tries to take Big Ci down, but Ci steadies himself by throwing one of his legs back. He grabs around Duke's midsection and lifts him up onto his shoulders. George delivers a couple of hard shots to Ci's face and lets himself fall off of Ci's shoulders, grabbing onto Ci's head on his trip down. Before he can complete the DDT, Ci frees his head and Duke falls back first into the mat. Ci picks Duke back up to his feet and goes to Irish Whip him into the ropes, but Duke counters and sends Ci into the ropes instead. Ci rebounds off and ducks under a clothesline from Duke. Ci bounces off the other side of the ring while Duke lifts his boot to clobber Ci. Big Ci sidesteps it and grabs onto Dukes leg, tripping the man and driving him into the mat once again. Ci holds onto the leg, and still standing, puts all his weight onto Duke for the pin.

George Duke reaches out and grabs the ropes. While Benny Lawson tells Big Ci to let go of Duke, Duke reaches up and delivers a thumb to Ci's eye, sending him reeling back while gripping his face. Ignoring Benny Lawson, George Duke gets to his feet, and grabbing Ci's free arm, whips him around into a hammerlock. Big Ci ducks around Duke, pulling him into a hammerlock of his own. Duke reaches down to grab one of Ci's feet from under him, but Ci changes his stance, leaving Duke out of luck. Duke spins out of the hammerlock and grabs hold of Ci's head and wrenches down with a headlock. Ci reaches one of his arms through Dukes legs and grabs onto Duke's neck with his other. With a roar, Big Ci pulls Duke onto his shoulders all the while standing up. Duke, with his free arm, drives a couple of long fists into Ci's kidneys and he lets go of Duke's legs. George Duke drops back off of Big Ci's shoulders, still holding onto Ci's head, and whips around, driving Big Ci down to the mat with a reverse DDT. Duke scrambles on top of Big Ci for the cover.

KICKOUT!!!!

Alex Pilgrim: That's probably the first impact move we've seen all night here in this match!

Tony Almanti: Big Ci wants to tear that belt from underneath George Duke's bathrobe. Either that or he think's it'll look great over his mantlepiece!

Alex Pilgrim: I think that Ci thinks the belt'll look good around his waist.

Big Ci rolls over onto his stomach while Duke grabs onto Ci's hair and drives his face into the mat a couple of times before Benny Lawson intervenes and the crowd boos Duke's blatant display unsportsmanship. George Duke gets pushed into a corner by Lawson as Ci slowly gets to his feet, massaging his jaw. George Duke pushes his way past Benny Lawson and advances on Big Ci. Duke devilvers a hard right to Ci's face, followed by a hard left. He tries to follow up with another right, but Big Ci drops underneath the punch and drives a hard european uppercut into Duke's jaw. George Duke staggers back and Big Ci follows Duke with a couple of punches of his own, sending the man back into the corner. Big Ci drives two more punches into Duke's face before he starts working on Duke's midsection with a few knees. Ci grabs hold of Duke's arm and whips him hard into the opposite corner. Ci charges after Duke and delivers a hard, charging clothesline to Duke. Ci lets off of Duke for a second and lets him stagger to the center of the ring. Ci advances on Duke once more, but Duke takes advantage and drives a couple of rights into Ci's face. Duke goes to whip Ci into the ropes, but Ci holds fast and pulls Duke back, whipping him into his own set of ropes. Ci drops down for the back drop, but Duke tries to roll over him for the sunset flip. Ci counters by hooking onto Duke's legs and stepping back to steady himself. Ci, looking around for a second, bends forward and pulls George Duke forward, blasting the grizzled old man into the mat with an Alabama Slam. Ci, without letting go, folds Duke's legs up and rolls him over, locking in the Texas Cloverleaf.

Alex Pilgrim: Damn...

Tony Almanti: That can't be good on Duke's osteoporosis...

Alex Pilgrim: Yeah, Big Ci there, with an innovative way to set up the Texas Cloverleaf. You think he had it planned?

Tony Almanti: I don't know, probably not, but it definently worked out in his favor!

Big Ci locks on the cloverleaf real tight and Duke yells in agonizing pain. He starts to inch his way toward the ropes and almost gets there, but Ci and his brute strength pick him up and set him back down in the cloverleaf in the middle of the ring. Duke is shaking his head, not wanting to tap out. Lawson gets in Duke's face to ask if he wants to call it, but Duke spits at him instead.

Pilgrim: With the cloverleaf on so tight, how can Duke possibly keep going?

Almanti: You're talking damn near 300 pounds of pressure sitting down on you in that position....just tap and get it over with.

Duke still being stubborn and refusing to tap is still lucid enough to notice the positioning of the referee. He knows he only has one chance to get out of this mess because he isn't going to power out of this move. Duke takes his back hand where starts tapping on Big Ci's leg. Lawson doesn't see the tapping from the other side, but Big Ci thinks he has won and releases the hold!

Pilgrim: What the hell?

Almanti: Duke just tricked Big Ci into thinking he tapped out! Genius!

Big Ci starts talking to the Lawson who says he didn't see anything of the sort. Big Ci starts to argue loudly with Lawson in the center of the ring, giving Duke plenty of time to recoup. When Big Ci finally returns his attention to Duke, Duke catches him, spins him and nails a piledriver. He quickly hooks the leg as Lawson sprints in for the count!

3!!!!!!!!!!

Pilgrim: That sneaky bastard did it again!

Almanti: Nobody cuts corners like George Duke! Wait a minute!

Out of nowhere, Shawn Stevens slides into the ring with a broom handle and starts swinging wildly at Duke, landing a few hard blows. Duke starts reeling backwards until he's in the corner. Stevens starts ramming the nob of the broom handle into the gut of Duke.

Pilgrim: And Shawn Stevens has refused to let that last attack by George Duke go unanswered!

Almanti: Why wait for Spring Breakage? Let's get it on right now!

Stevens continues to whack on Duke with the broken broom handle. But the crowd quickly stands to their feet and a rumble starts to rise up as Murderous Entertainment runs down the ramp and gets into the ring. Night and Daye immediately jump on Duke while BBK and Felon start to work on Stevens.

Pilgrim: This could get real bad, real fast.

Almanti: It got bad the minute Murderous Entertainment signed their contracts.

The four members of Murderous Entertainment are really laying it on thick against Stevens and Duke when Big Ci climbs back into the ring and starts hammering away at Night! The crowd cheers as Ci nails several hard punches and sends Night to the corner. Ci grabs him from the front and unleashes hell with a belly to belly suplex. BBK sees what is happening and remembers the broom being broken across his head and immediately starts whacking on Big Ci. The numbers to great, Big Ci succumbs to Murderous Entertainment as well.

Almanti: Big Ci just committed suicide.

Pilgrim: It's called courage.

Almanti: Discretion is the better part of Valor, Alex.

Again, the crowd goes to a loud rumble and jumps back to their feet as two more guys come hauling ass down the ramp. This time it's Lance Erikson and Dave Hunter who have come out to help out Big Ci! Erikson immediately heads for BBK and Hunter for Felon. They start exchanging blows and all hell is officially breaking lose in the Star Pavilion.

Pilgrim: Nine men in the ring!

Almanti: Why not more?

Almanti gets his wish as Rich Morrison steps out to the top of the ramp, laughing at the situation. Suddenly, Danny Danielson comes in from behind and hits a running bulldog on Rich on the ramp!

Pilgrim: Son of a bitch! Where is the control?

Almanti: Screw control! This is awesome!

Morrison gets to his knees and as Danielson comes in close, Rich hits a low blow and follows it up with a European Uppercut. Rich whips Danielson all the way down the ramp, who hits the ring apron with a thud. Morrison follows up and now eleven men are in or around the ring hammering away at each other.

Pilgrim: This is nothing short of a riot!

Almanti: And that's what makes this place great!

Pilgrim: It makes this place dangerous!

Suddenly, without warning, Lestat comes flying out of the backstage area onto the top of the ramp holding his chin which shows that he has been hit by someone. He turns around and takes a Season Ender superkick from Mr. Showtime and flies off the top of the ramp!

Pilgrim: Oh my God!

Almanti: MEDIC! MEDIC!!!!

Pilgrim: Folks, we have got to go, but Spring Breakage just hit a little early this year!

The show goes off the air with Mr. Showtime looking down off the ramp where he kicked Lestat off the edge and panning to the ring where mass chaos reigns as a whole slew of men are beating the hell out of each other.
