The Road to Ocean City Slam 7/22/2007

[tonyhunter]

Randy Gordon: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Power On Wrestling New England!

Josh Cline: We are on The Road to Ocean City Slam which takes place on August 5!!!

Randy Gordon: I’m Randy Gordon! This is Josh Cline…

Josh Cline: And I believe that coming up first we have got Graves vs. King Cobra!!!

Randy Gordon: Let’s Go!

The camera shows Joe Barlow stood in the ring.

Joe Barlow: The following contest is scheduled for one…

Suddenly “You are the One” by Shiny Toy Guns hits and a man appears on the stage. He is wearing a black POW T-Shirt and he is carrying a Podium onto the stage. He places it in the middle of the stage, facing the ring, at the top of the ramp. The man exits through the curtain and Tony Hunter walks through it. He stands at the podium.

Tony Hunter: Ladies and Gentlemen, sorry to stop the show like this but I have a small matter that I must notify you all about. Last week, Power on Wrestling’s Owner and Chairman, Tito Capaci went missing. Nobody has heard from or seen Mr Capaci since July 12. It has been ten days! Power on Wrestling is currently very hectic behind the scenes. Due to this disappearance, we have staff from all over the country coming in, doing there best to maintain POW. But unfortunately, some of those staff are also wrestlers that you see on the shows weekly. At this time of such crazy business, the POW Schedule is in chaos. Therefore, as POW:NE General Manager and Head Booker, it is my duty to announce to you all that Power on Wrestling New England Ocean City Slam will not take place on August 5.

The crowd go crazy at this announcement and boo Hunter.

Tony Hunter: …Instead, the show will take place a week today, on July 29! We at POW apologise if this is an inconvenience to any of you, and especially those with tickets. Officials at the venue have been informed and fans with tickets for the show originally planned for August 5, will be allowed entry at 7PM on July 29! Thank You.

Tony leaves through the curtain. The man returns on stage and removes the podium.

Randy Gordon: Well, we wasn’t expecting that! Big news for POW fans there!

Josh Cline: It certainly is.

Randy Gordon: Up next we’ve got Graves making his debut against King Cobra.

Josh Cline: ‘Should be an interesting match, Randy!

“Heavy static” begins to blare over the announce system, followed by a robotic voice pounding through everyone's eardrums. "WE DO AWAY WITH YOUR KIND." "COUNTDOWN TO EXTERMINATE THE HUMAN RACE. FOUR. THREE. TWO. ONE." Deep metal guitars and double-bass drums kick in, as Graves throws back the curtain and walks out, his head staring downwards towards the ring. He walks down to the ring, ignoring any gestures made by fans.

Joe Barlow: Ladies and Gentlemen, from Berkittsville, Maryland, weighing 179 pounds, he is Graves!!!

Once down to the ring, he climbs up the steps, then steps into the ring through the middle of the ropes. He forms the shape of the metal horns, and raises his arms in an X, getting a mixed reaction as his music fades off.

“Eye of the Tiger” hits and King Cobra 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.

Joe Barlow: And his opponent, from Highland Lakes, New Jersey, weighing 226 pounds, he is King Cobra!!!

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.

Graves vs. King Cobra

~Ding Ding~

Graves and Cobra immediately lock up. Graves overpowers Cobra and pushes him backwards into his corner.

Randy Gordon: Some strength there from a man that only weighs 179 pounds!

Josh Cline: Yeah. Look at King Cobra…I think he’s in as much shock!

Graves walks over to King Cobra who is sat in the corner. Cobra gets to his knees to get up but Graves corners him, and slaps him in the face. Cobra looks at Graves and attempts to get up, failing again. Graves throws a few punches at Cobra before hitting him with hard elbows to the face.

Randy Gordon: Graves is giving Cobra a beating here early on!

Josh Cline: Yeah! First impressions obviously mean a lot to him!

Graves walks calmly to the other corner. He runs at Cobra and hits him with a clothesline! Cobra falls to the mat. Graves rolls him onto his back and kicks him before climbing to the second rope. He jumps from the second rope and hits a leg drop. He stands again and then climbs to the top rope. He hits another leg drop and covers him.

1…2…

Kick Out.

He stands up and complains to the referee that his count was too slow. He turns round as Cobra is getting up. Cobra gets to his feet and Graves hits him with a missile dropkick. Graves raises his arms. He goes to the top rope and goes for another leg drop, but this time, misses as Cobra rolls out of the way. Cobra picks Graves up and goes to throw a punch. Graves blocks it and throws fists at Cobra. He punches Cobra in the midsection. Graves grabs his stomach and Graves hits a DDT.

Randy Gordon: That was a hard fist to the abdomen there. I think he knocked the wind out of him.

Graves goes to the top rope and hits a shooting star press.

Randy Gordon: I believe he calls that the Holy Rolling Suicide.

Josh Cline: It’s hardly suicide. He’s fine. He’s gonna cover him!

1…2…

Graves lifts up Cobra’s shoulder off the mat and shakes his fore finger at the referee!

Randy Gordon: He isn’t finished?

Josh Cline: It doesn’t look like it!

Graves grabs Cobra’s feet an locks in an elevated Boston Crab.

Randy Gordon: And that…is the Suicide Solution!

Cobra resists for a few seconds before tapping!

Randy Gordon: That is it! Graves has won his debut match!!!

Joe Barlow: Ladies and Gentlemen, your winner, GRAVES!!!

Graves rolls under the bottom rope and walks up the ramp as his music plays. He gets to the top of the ramp and raises his arms in victory before leaving through the curtain.

The scene returns to the ring and Joe Barlow begins to speak in to his microphone.

Joe Barlow: Ladies and gentlemen this match is a triple thr…

“Chapter 4” by Avenged Sevenfold begins to play over the P.A. system. The crowd are somewhat stunned as they know who’s music it is but it cannot possibly be him… can it?

Josh Cline: Wait a second! I thought that he’d been released

Randy Gordon: So did I Josh. The next match has been changed to a triple threat match. What could this man want out here?

We cut to the curtain and a figure appears from behind it. It is Eddie Buchalini Jr… Jr! Yes that’s right… all 4 feet 2 inches of Eddie Buchalini Jr. Jr. comes striding out from the curtain, microphone in hand to the ring. He runs for the ring and goes to slide in. He doesn’t jump high enough and bounces back off the ring apron, falling backwards. He attempts it again, again falling backwards. He gets up and tries to drag himself but cannot.

Gordon: Erm… Mr Buchalini is having a spot of trouble entering the ring here Josh

Cline: Yeah… I see what you mean. He tried to slide in but came up short

“Buchalini”, now irate, gives up on sliding in and walks up the steps. He climbs them and climbs through the middle and bottom ropes. He signals that he is to speak as the fans quieten down in curiosity.

“Eddie”: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah… Go ahead try me… just bleeping try me… -blah, bl-blah, blah

Gordon: Scathing words from the UWC Hall of Famer

Cline: So eloquent, is Mr Buchalini Jr…

“Eddie”: Blah, blah, blah, blah… All my finishing moves are all very clever because I stuck the letter “E” for Eddie in front of every single one of the bleepers, blah, blah, blah, blah!!!

Cline: So true Randy

Gordon: Oh no doubt… such words of wisdom for the self proclaimed Mr New England

“Eddie”: Bl…

“You know my name” hits over the P.A. system as Dave Hunter walks out of the curtain. He is trying to hold back a smile and retain his serious face

Dave Hunter: Buchalini… You and I have had a storied past. We’ve beaten each other black and blue. But now you wanna walk out on my Dad and then show up and talk your crap… well if you wanna stand out here, you can damn well wrestle out here as well. Meet your opponent tonight… Jay Mason

“New York, New York blares out through the arena as Jay Mason steps out onto the stage… well… sort of. It is in fact another midget, only grossly overweight… and wearing platform shoes. He steps out of the curtain and walks to the ring as Buchalini steps through the ropes and stands on the bottom step of the ring steps. Mason arrives at ringside and Buchalini dives at Mason

Gordon: Suicide Dive by the fearless Buchalini

Cline: He must have a death wish diving from that height

Mason is rocked somewhat. Buchalini rears back and plants an E-Kick, caching the much taller Mason square in the nuts. This doubles Mason over. Buchalini signals for the E-Drop. He tucks Masons head between his legs but before he can execute the move, Mason stands up, lifting Buchalini up with him. The momentum of the overweight Mason sends both men falling backwards, Buchalini landing underneath Mason. Mason stays lying on Eddie.

Gordon: Oh My God… he might be dead…

Hunter sprints to ringside and slides to count the fall

1…

2…

3!!!

He speaks into his microphone.

Hunter: Ladies and Gentlemen your winner… Jay Mason.

Hunter helps Mason to his feet and raises his arm. Mason celebrates on his own, running around ringside as fast as he can. He reaches where Hunter is stood and Eddie is lay again. He turns and taunts one more time. As he returns, he is caught quickly with a hard kick to the face, knocking him out. Hunter looks around at the people with a look of seriousness.

Dave: Let that be known that pissing off the Hunters, be it by leaving or by just f**king with us, will not be let slide. Mick Cormac… you will do well to remember that

He drops the Microphone and walks out of the arena to the strains of “You know my name”

[tonyhunter]

Zach Moore: Ladies and Gentlemen, my guests at this time, POW:NE General Manager, Tony Hunter and his son, David Hunter…David, this Sunday, you…

David: Before we start, Zachary, can you do me a favour?

Zach: Erm…yeah I suppose.

David: Then, f**k off!

Zach looks a little taken a back. He hesitates for a second but puts his microphone calmly on the ground before walking down the corridor. Dave knocks on a locker room door which has “STAFF” printed on the door. From out of the room walks Lee Cash. He picks up the microphone off the floor.

Cash: Back by popular demand, Lee Cash…

David: Yeah, we do have a show to get on with, Cash. So get on with it!

Cash: Of course. Dave, this Sunday, you will take on Mick Cormac in a major match. You win, and Mick will have to leave the company…you lose, and your father will lose his job. Are you confident you can win?

David: Lee, you aren’t the first, and it’s likely you won’t be the last to ask me if I’m confident. But you go back through my many UWC interviews and my few POW interviews and every single time, I am asked if I’m confident going into a match. Not once have I said no! Yeah, I don’t win them all…but I go in there confident every single time. You go in there without confidence, and you’ve lost before the bell has even rang. But this week, it’s different. Mick Cormac has f**ked with the Hunters…nobody f**ks with the Hunters and on Sunday, Cormac will be punished for what he has done. I am confident, Cash, and I will make you a promise right now! Mick Cormac will have to be carried out on a stretcher when I’ve finished with him.

Cash: Okay. Tony, you’ve said on a few occasions that you want Mick Cormac out of New England. He’s said the same about you. In the last week, you have released seven POW Superstars. Why didn’t you release Mick Cormac if you want rid of him so badly.

Tony: That would be too easy…

Dave: And we wouldn’t get as much pleasure from simply tearing up his contract than the pleasure we will both feel during my match on Sunday when I am beating the living shit out of him.

Cash: Nobody has touched on this yet during the whole Cormac vs. Hunter feud. Dave, you’re from England. Mick’s from Ireland. Does that influence the way you’ll go into the match with a fellow Brit?

Dave: It means I’ll be going into the match with my eyes open and ready for anything that comes at me. Us Brits are tough sons of bitches…and on Sunday, I’m sure we’ll prove that to everyone in the arena in Ocean City. We will beat the shit out of each other but at the end of the day, there’ll be one winner, one man with his hand raised, and that man is “The Predator” Dave Hunter! That is all.

Cash: Thanks guys! Randy Gordon, Josh Cline, back to you guys!

Randy Gordon: Some strong words from “The Predator”…

Josh Cline: Yeah, and Lee Cash is back…by popular demand!

Randy: Haha! Up next, we’ve got Mick Cormac vs. The CIA!

“Barroom Hero” by Dropkick Murphy hits. Mick Cormac walks out at the top the stage. He raises his bat and than plays/insults the crowd as he walks down the ramp.

Joe Barlow: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following is a handicap match scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Cork, Ireland, weighing 280 pounds, “The Irish Brawler” Mick Cormac!!!

Cormac climbs the steps and gets into the ring. His music fades.

“Just Stop” by Disturbed hits and Thomas Knight and Stephen Thompson appear on the stage. They walk down the ramp with purpose and blank expressions on their faces. Knight follows Thompson up the ropes and into the ring. They immediately charge at Cormac hitting a double clothesline.

Mick Cormac vs. CIA

The referee pulls Thompson and Knight away from Cormac and informs them that one of them must remain on the apron. Thompson leaves the ring.

Cormac stands up and walks to the other corner. He straightens himself up and both men walk into the centre of the ring. They lock up before Cormac reaches up and gets Knight into a headlock. Knight elbows Cormac in the abdomen and Cormac releases the hold. Cormac starts to hit Knight with knife edge chops. After five, he grabs Knight and hits a belly to belly Suplex. Knight crawls to Thompson’s corner and tags him in. Thompson walks toward Cormac and hits another Belly to Belly Suplex. Knight gets back in the ring and hits Cormac with a clothesline before going back to his corner.

Randy Gordon: Knight helping out his partner there…

Thompsons picks Cormac up and hits a snap suplex. He waits for Cormac to get up before running off the ropes and hitting a big boot. He covers him.

1…2…

Kick Out!

Thompson tags Knight in. Knight drags Cormac off the mat and gets him up for a powerbomb. Sat on Knights shoulders, Cormac delivers punches to the top of Knights head. Knight falls backward and Cormac is sat on his chest.

1…2…

Kick Out.

Cormac picks up Knight and hits a sidewalk slam. He walks over to the corner. Knight gets to one knee and as he attempts to stand up, Cormac runs and hits a bulldog.

Randy Gordon: Great bulldog from Cormac.

Josh Cline: Yeah. Thompson is fuming.

Cormac picks up Knight again and hits an uppercut, sending Knight to the mat again. Knight gets to one knee and hits Cormac with a low blow before quickly crawling to the other side of the ring to tag in Thompson. Cormac stands up and Thompson goes for a clothesline. Cormac ducks, hits the referee and Cormac sends Thomson over the top rope. Knight gets in the ring and runs at Cormac. He sends him over the top rope too.

Suddenly “You know my Name” by Chris Cornell hits and David Hunter appears on the stage with a steel chair in hand.

Randy Gordon: Oh, what the hell does he want?

Josh Cline: Bit of a stupid question Randy. He’s out here for Cormac!

He runs down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope. Dave drops the chair and Cormac and Hunter trade punches before Hunter hits a piledriver on the mat. Dave stands in the corner waiting for Cormac to stand up. Cormac stands up and Dave hits a massive superkick.

Randy Gordon: Heart Break Kick! That’s it for Cormac.

Dave rolls under the bottom rope and rolls Thompson back into the ring. The referee comes to. Thompson slowly regains his composure and he covers Cormac.

1…2…

Kick Out!

Josh Cline: What? How did he kick out of that!?!

Dave stands on the apron complaining to the referee that the count was too slow. Thompson joins in telling the ref that he should have won the match! Cormac stands up and hits Thompson with a german Suplex. Knight is on the outside. He walks round to his side of the ring and stands back in his corner. Dave jumps down from the apron. Cormac points his finger at Dave shouting at him.

Cormac: You’re next Hunter!

Hunter just stands with his arms folded, grinning. Meanwhile, Knight is tagged in by Thompson. Cormac hits him with a knife edge chop and a modified DDT.

Randy: Guinness Draught!

Cormac covers Knight.

1…2…

Thompson breaks the count and immediately leaves the ring. Cormac gets up and waits for Knight to get up before hitting an RKO.

Randy Gordon: Emerald Isle Sting. That is it.

Cormac dropkicks Thompson off the apron to the ground below. Dave gets onto the apron and Cormac dropkicks him to, sending him to the outside. He covers Knight.

1…2…3

Joe Barlow: Here is your winner, Mick Cormac!!!

Thompson gets back in the ring and charges at Hunter. Cormac throws him over the top rope, sending him to the outside, in front of the West side of the arena. In front of the East side of the arena is Dave Hunter. He reaches into the ring and grabs the chair that he left in there earlier. He slides under the bottom rope. Cormac turns around and is hit in the face with the chair.

Randy Gordon: He’s just smashed Cormac in the face!

Josh Cline: Well that’s what you get when you f**k with the Hunters.

Randy Gordon: Josh, you can’t swear on TV.

Josh Cline: Dave did earlier…

Randy Gordon: …we’re commentators, Josh…

Dave drops the chair in the ring next to Mick Cormac. He raises his arms and leaves the ring as “You know my Name” plays.

{Scene Fades for Commercial Break}

[tonyhunter]

Joe Barlow stands in the middle of the ring as the fans await the upcoming match.

Barlow: “Ladies and gentlemen the following match is a triple threat match and is scheduled for one fall! Your referee in charge of the action will be Jay Grooms. Introducing first…

As the anxiety builds, the lights begin shining on the entrance curtain as “Shout at the Devil” begins playing over the PA system within Michaels 8th Avenue Ballroom. Chris Knight emerges from the curtain and makes his way towards the ring. He slides under the ropes, removes his black shirt, and tosses it into the crowd. A fan in the second row grabs hold of the shirt and shows it off to his nearby friends as Chris Knight stretches his neck and prepares for this triple threat showdown.

Barlow: “Weighing in at 232 pounds from Brooklyn, New York, he is the Last Crusader… Chris Knight!”

Chris jumps around within the ring as the lights fade away.

President Pliskin appears on the titantron, on the Presidential Stand in the White House, in front of many reporters from newspapers around America, snapping pictures at him. President Pliskin then speaks.

My fellow Americans…It has come to my attention that some of you think…well...I have corrupted the US Government, that I’ve destroyed America from inside out. I have called for this meeting to assure you, I am not corrupt. I am doing what is best for the United States of America, and I will not fail any one of the US Citizens. America is okay.

A computer like voice then begins to say America is okay…okayyy…o-o-o-kkkk-a-yyy…. Angel by Massive Attack begins to play as two CIA agents come out, holding on to their earpieces. They are wearing black tuxes and have black short hair. One of them walks down to the ring as one of them stays at the entrance. The one at the entrance signals for someone to come out as President Pliskin makes his way to the stage. He has the American Flag rested on his right shoulder, which is being held with his right hand. Pliskin's voice is heard during the song.

It seems that people have said that my entire reign as President has had conspiracies. I assure you all, the government is no conspiracy. We are currently doing our best for America.

President Pliskin walks down to the ring as the CIA Agent follows him.

Barlow: And introducing second from Washington, D.C., weighing in at 57 pounds, he is President Pliskin!

The agent at the ring gets up on the apron as he opens up the ropes for President Pliskin. Pliskin walks up the stairs and climbs through the open ropes.

The economy for America has been improving. We are winning our war in Iraq, and I promise to all of the families that have relatives, friends, in Iraq, that they will come home safely.

Both agents get in the ring as the Prez puts the American flag under the bottom right corner. Both agents inspect the ring as they walk out of the ring.

The fans voice their opinion on Pliskin as he stares down Knight. The two men approach each other and begin mouthing off as the lights fade once again for the final competitor.

*You're always saying that there's something wrong...
I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along...

Death came around, forced to hear its song...
And know tomorrow can't be depended on.*


Eddie Jones appears in the crowd at the top of the lower level in a very Sandman-esque manner. Dangling from his mouth is a cigarette. He takes a puff and exhales before putting the cigarette back in his mouth. He stands at the top of the stairway and stares down into the crowd. He raises one of his arms high into the air.


*I seen the home inside your head,...
All locked doors and unmade beds.
Open sores unattended
Let me say just once that*


Eddie makes his way down the stairs slowly as the crowd both cheers and boos at him. He looks around at the crowd occasionally and takes an occasional drag from his cigarette as he descends the steps.


*I have faced it,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.

I escaped it,... A life wasted,...
I'm never going back again.*


Eddie stops a moment when he gets to the barrier and takes a final drag on his cigarette. He exhales and drops his cigarette to the ground and crushes it out with his foot. He climbs over the barrier and rolls under the bottom rope.

Barlow: “Finally weighing in at 240 pounds and fighting out of Seattle, Washington, he is Eddie Jones!”

The three men take their respective corners as referee Jay Grooms checks the men for foreign objects.

Randy Gordon: “Quite the matchup Tony Hunter has put together tonight Josh. These three men all have a history with one another and now it’s time for them to settle the score!”

Josh Cline: “The score is already settled Randy, and Eddie Jones is victorious. By getting out of New England he’ll escape midcard hell and go on to be quite a star in Midwest.”

Randy Gordon: “Big words for a competitor who was literally choked out last week by our Mid Atlantic Champion Buddy Love!”

Josh Cline: “Big deal. Pliskin doesn’t have his CIA goons to back him up tonight and Chris Knight is probably still having nightmares from suffering the Cursa from Meltdown last week.”

Randy Gordon: “Actually, that’s President Pliskin…”

Before Cline can retort, Jay Grooms calls for the bell and this match is officially underway.

Triple Threat Match: Chris Knight vs. President Pliskin vs. Eddie Jones

Pliskin slides out from under the bottom rope and walks towards the announce table as Chris and Eddie lock up. The two men struggle for position over one another, and Eddie manages to work in a loose sleeper hold. Chris swings an elbow that brushes off of Eddie’s side, but then manages to turn the hold around and applies it to Eddie Jones. Pliskin reaches the announce table and grabs hold of Randy’s bottle of water. Taking a swig, he returns the bottle and waves to the fans in attendance as they taunt him for show boating before even swinging a fist.

Josh Cline: “Such class he has Randy. Obviously he cares about or fans here in New England. He even takes time from his matches to appreciate them!”

Randy Gordon: “I’m sure you two would get along great.”

Jay Grooms checks on Eddie as Chris works the hold. Eddie begins fighting his way out slowly, but Chris falls to his knees, tweaking Eddie’s back as he releases him. Chris quickly jumps onto Eddie’s back, places his legs over his shoulders, and locks in a facedown arm bar. Pliskin slowly climbs the steps and watches the two men closely. Chris works the arm of Eddie Jones, but Eddie manages to get his knees under him. He rolls over the body of Chris Knight and grabs one of his legs, thrusting Chris’s shoulders onto the mat. Jay Grooms drops down to begin a count, but Chris kicks out before Jay’s knees even hit the ground. The fans clap as Eddie and Chris stand, staring each other down again.

Randy Gordon: “Quite an exchange of submissive wrestling right there. These two are obviously familiar with each other.”

As they continue their face off, Chris holds his hands up to signify a Test of Strength. Eddie laughs, but then shrugs his shoulders as if to accept. Before they can lock up, Pliskin dashes in and delivers a knee to Eddie’s lower back and then a swift forearm to the face of Chris. Both men stutter to opposite turnbuckles as Pliskin stands in the middle of the ring. Pliskin runs over towards Eddie Jones and hits him with a short arm clothesline against the turnbuckle, knocking him to the mat. Turning around, he begins running at Chris and attempts a running splash, but no one’s home as Chris ducks under him. Wasting no time, Chris Knight rolls up Pliskin as he bounces off the turnbuckle.

Pliskin gets the shoulder up. Chris grabs Pliskin leg and drags him towards the ropes. Chris Knight uses the ropes to bounce into the air and then lands on Pliskin’s right leg. He repeats the maneuver causing Pliskin to grab his knee in pain. Eddie Jones appears out of nowhere with a quick forearm to Chris. Grabbing his arm, he whips him into the ropes and follows up with a textbook swinging neck breaker. Pliskin stumbles to his feet, but Eddie wastes no time kicking out his right leg. The assaulted leg suffers even further as Eddie works his way into a half Boston crab, pulling back on Pliskin’s right knee with as much force as possible. Jay Grooms drops down in front of Pliskin and asks him if he wishes to quit. Eddie screams for him to tap, but Pliskin struggles to hold on. Chris Knight regains his composer and bounces off the ropes. Running towards the back of Eddie Jones, he leaps up, grabs Eddie’s head, and delivers a bulldog to Eddie. Unfortunately for Pliskin this causes a quick jerk on his leg, nearly tearing it clean out of his hip socket.

Randy Gordon: “That move by Chris Knight took out both of his opponents! Clever!”

Josh Cline: “A cheap shot at best my friend. Attacking someone from behind is best left to the underhanded tacticians of POW, something I doubt you could appreciate.”

Chris stands up and delivers a series of kicks to Eddie Jones. His choice of targets is apparent as he drops down and delivers a set of forearms to Eddie’s back. He lifts Eddie up off the mat and then connects with a suplex, returning Eddie right back into a prone position. Pliskin continues rolling around the ring, grabbing hold of his tortured right leg. Jay Grooms runs over to check of Pliskin and see if he’s even able to continue. Pliskin grabs Jay by the cuff of his shirt and yells for him to get out of the way as he begins using the turnbuckle to hoist himself up onto his left leg.

Chris lifts Eddie off the mat again. This time he lifts him up and places him on the turnbuckle, facing the crowd. Chris Knight looks at the crowd and then climbs the turnbuckle, facing the ring. The crowd stands and begins to cheer as they can sense the upcoming attack. Chris hooks his arms under Eddie’s and stands, but Eddie kicks backwards right in between the legs of Chris. Chris Knight’s arms release their hold and he falls to his knees inside the ring. Eddie stands up, turns to face a kneeling Chris Knight, and then leaps off delivering a top rope elbow drop right to Knight’s shoulder. The impact of the move even drives Chris’s head into the mat, causing him to bounce off and land on his back. Eddie falls on top of him and hooks the leg.

Pliskin with a dropkick to Eddie Jones to break up the count! Eddie stands and faces the limping Pliskin. Eddie pounces forward for a diving clothesline, but Pliskin’s right leg gives out and he falls beneath the attack. Eddie picks himself up right beside the ropes. Pliskin struggles to his feet again, and pounces forward for a clothesline of his own. His manages to connect with Eddie Jones and knocks him over the ropes and out of the ring. Chris stands up, holding tight to his shoulder. Pliskin realizes his opportunity as Chris backs up into the turnbuckle. Hobbling on his good leg, he manages to deliver a left footed big boot to Chris Knight. Pliskin quickly grabs onto the ropes to keep himself from falling over after putting his weight on the damaged right knee. Chris falls forward in the dead center of the ring and Eddie Jones is still outside of the ring. Pliskin releases the rope and falls onto Chris’s back. Locking his arms under Chris Knight, Pliskin applies an anaconda vice and torques it tightly.

Randy Gordon: “Excellent maneuver by President Pliskin! To have the wherewithal to use the turnbuckle to hold himself up, and now attacking with the Code Yellow Terror Alert while Eddie is out of the ring.”

Josh Cline: “And there’s literally nowhere for Chris Knight to go.”

Chris tries to battle his way out, but Pliskin’s determination overwhelms the downed warrior. Eddie Jones crawls under the bottom rope and gets to his feet. However, right before he can deliver any kind of attack, Chris Knight caves in and taps out to Pliskin’s submission maneuver. Jay Grooms calls for the bell as Pliskin quickly rolls out of the ring to avoid any further injury to himself. Eddie Jones stares at the downed Chris Knight and mutters “Good riddance” to him before leaving the ring himself, but not after a quick kick to the gut of Chris Knight.

Josh Cline: “Those two definitely won’t be leaving tonight on good terms. It’s probably fortunate for Chris Knight that Eddie is becoming a Midwest exclusive.”

Randy Gordon: “And how about President Pliskin? An impressive victory over these two warriors in a match that was definitely an all out rumble.

Joe Barlow: “And your winner of the match via tap out, President Pliskin!”

Pliskin holds his arms up high as a crew member helps him back towards the curtain.

Joe Barlow: The following contest is scheduled for one fall.

The lights dim, and ''Revinventing Your Exit'' by Underoath hits the P.A system the crowd all rush to the barries holding up posters that have nothing to do with Cory Barnett.

Joe Barlow: Introducing first, from Toronto, Ontario, weighing in at 195 pounds….Cory Barnett!

Barnett emerges from the curtains holding his hands up high. He looks around the arena, feeding on the electricity from the fans and makes his walk to the ring. He runs up the steps and inside the ring. He looks around the arena again and holding his hands high in the air as the lights go back to normal.

Joe Barlow: And his opponent…

“Aenema” by Tool hits the arena. As the opening guitar riffs play, blue smoke pours out of the entrance for a short while as the first verse plays.

Joe Barlow: Now residing in Miami, Florida… “The Last True Warrior” Meltdown!

As the chorus kicks in, the smoke quickly stops and Meltdown walks out quickly, tightening his mask and walking down the ramp quickly with Tavi by his side. He slaps the hands of a few fans before walking quickly up the steps and entering the ropes, getting onto one knee and bowing his head. Tavi slides in and takes off the mask, kissing him on the forehead. She takes off his robe and folds it over her shoulder, placing the mask onto the turnbuckle before sliding out. Meltdown starts pacing around the ring, staring Barnett down.

Cory Barnett vs. Meltdown

Cory Barnett walks to the middle of the ring returning the stare from the pacing Meltdown. Barnett cockily gestures with his arms for Meltdown to man up. Meltdown walks to the center of the ring and the two stare down. Referee Jay Grooms calls for the bell.

Randy Gordon: Barnett showing no fear at all.

Josh Cline: All he’s showing is an overabundance of stupidity.

Cory Barnett starts mouthing off to Meltdown. Barnett pushes Meltdown back but is caught with a vicious chop to the side of the head in return. Barnett stumbles back.

Cline: He’s tapping!

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Joe Barlow: Here is your winner…. “The Last True Warrior” Meltdown!

Gordon: Cory Barnett showed a lot of heart, but Meltdown was just too much for the cocky kid tonight.

Meltdown rolls Barnett away and takes to his feet. He stands over Barnett and bends down over his face. Meltdown sternly yells “Who’s awesome now!” and walks away with Tavi by his side.

Cline: I think Barnett’s attitude lit a fire under Meltdown.

Gordon: Meltdown capitalized and pulled of a big win in a fantastic display of athleticism but Barnett turned more than a few heads.

Josh Cline: He’s not the number one contender to the Openweight Championship because he assaults cameramen, Gord.

Randy Gordon: I think we’re in for a hell of a show between Cory Barnett and Travis Brown at Ocean City Slam. Brown better not let this loss to Meltdown fool him into underestimating Barnett.

Josh Cline: Meltdown is on a real tear. He’s a threat to anyone, including Buddy Love and John Anthony. I would be surprised if Meltdown doesn’t leave Ocean City Slam with a title of his own.

As Meltdown walks down the ramp, Tony Hunter appears from behind the curtain, microphone in hand.

Tony: Meltdown…You’re very lucky…ya see, I’m in a good mood, and that, that was impressive, and tonight you’ve earned my respect. If you can defeat our Open Weight Number One Contender, you deserve to be number one contender too! But not for the Open Weight Title…no. Next week at Ocean City Slam, it’s gonna be you vs. Buddy Love for the Mid-Atlantic Championship…Good Luck!

{Commercial Break}

[tonyhunter]

The scene re-opens after the break, and The Stoned Raiders are in the ring. Blake Ryder has a microphone in his hand.

Blake: Okay, okay, okay! We’ve come out here tonight to address a little something…no come to think of it, a major something that’s been nagging at us both. This week, a planned match was POW Eastern Tag Team Champions The Final Cut versus. The newly crowned POW Midwestern Tag Team Champions, Rite of Chaos. Firstly, Rite of Chaos are a Midwest team…New England has it’s own perfectly good tag teams and Tony Hunter decides to bring in another tag team, from the B-Territory. Why? It’s beyond me.

He hands the mic to Rex Vinkle.

Rex: And secondly, Rite of Chaos contacted Hunter to tell him that they couldn’t make it. So, the match was cancelled. Again, why? They could have been replaced…that is beyond me…

Blake: And me, again!

Rex: We are sick of being ignored in this territory. We have earned a place here and we want to earn more. We want to become champions!

Suddenly, Night and Daye come out of the crowd from opposite sides. Rex and Blake are oblivious as The Final Cut grab weapons from under the ring. They slide under the bottom rope and attempt to attack both men. Rex and Blake duck and they begin to trade punches with each other.

Josh Cline: They aren’t being ignored now. Haha! The Final Cut have noticed them, for sure!

“You know my Name” by Chris Cornell hits and Tony Hunter appears on the stage as Rex and Blake get out of the ring.

Tony: Stop right there! I’ve had enough. Stoned Raiders? You haven’t been ignored…obviously. Final Cut was in there almost immediately and here I am. I’m not ignoring you. Neither are they. You want Championship gold? You’ve got the balls? Final Cut have. If they hadn’t, they wouldn’t have attempted an attack on you. From where I’m standing, all four of you seem pretty damn confident, so next week at Ocean City Slam, Stoned Raiders, you will get your chance…it’s gonna be Rex and Blake taking on Night and Daye for their Eastern Tag Team Championships!

The Scene fades for commercial as Tony Hunter leaves through the curtain and the two tag teams stare at each other.

The scene returns to the ring. “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)” by Dope starts to play over the arena. Out bursts John Anthony, with the Eastern Heavyweight Title on his belt. He points to the ceiling as the lights focus on him.

Joe Barlow: “This will be a non-title singles match! At first, making his way to the ring, from Beverly Hills, California, he is the Eastern Heavyweight champion, John Anthony!”

Randy Gordon: “The crowd is just supporting John Anthony all the way.”

John Anthony slides into the ring. He stands up and runs to the corner, hanging on the 2nd rope. Suddenly, “What’s The Difference” by Dr. Dre interrupts him. Out walks Dr. Phate, with a water bottle in hand and a white towel on his neck. He grins and struts down the ramp.

Joe Barlow: “And his opponent, from Phatesville, Missouri, Dr. Phate!”

Randy Gordon: “Remember, this is Dr. Phate’s debut match here at POW. And he’s facing John Anthony. That’s not a great person to debut against if you ask me.”

Josh Cline: “Well, Dr. Phate already has John Anthony to one knee with that sleeper hold.”

Dr. Phate continues to apply pressure to the sleeper hold. John Anthony raises up his arm in an attempt to show that he’s still awake. Anthony brings himself and Phate back to their feet. Anthony dives his elbow to Phate’s stomach. Phate holds his stomach in pain. Anthony takes advantage of this and uppercuts him to the jaw.
