NZWA NITRO
Several gophers are running around while two NZWA interns
are feverishly hacking away on laptops near a booth that reads "NZWA Online"
on a banner overhead.
"Do you believe this crap? I'm the best announcer they've got and I'm
interviewing tonight!"
The voice of Mark Madden is heard booming throughout the area as the camera
pans around showing the announcer dressed in a yellow and red Hawaiian shirt
and wearing blue pants. He takes off his sunglasses and waves a piece of
paper labeled "Nitro" in the face of Mean Gene Okerlund, who stands nearby
trying to finish his third "pre-show beer."
"I finally get those idiots out of my way and get pulled off the show,"
Madden says spitting all over Gene's baldhead, "I should be out there! Not
stuck back here in Loserville!"
"What the hell do you mean Loserville?" Gene yells throwing his empty can
over his shoulder, "This is my damn area! Besides, if you interview tonight
what the hell am I going to do?"
"Maybe your working the beer stand," Madden grumbles.
"Go to, you really think so?"
Before Madden can answer his drunk, bald buddy, the unmistakable sounds of a
Harley Davidson rumble through the backstage area. They turn around to see
Varjay, the Co-owner of the NZWA, pulling up into the area before parking
near a sign that reads, "Messiah Parking." Madden immediately runs over in
his direction leaving Gene to fall to one knee.
Varjay is dressed in black denim pants with his own "Natural Born Master"
t-shirt and sporting his new short hairdo. He hops off the bike just as
Madden gets to him and says something to an intern, who runs off in the
other direction.
"It's about time you're here boss," yells the large announcer. "Those
idiots told me that I was interviewing tonight!"
"You are interviewing tonight, you moron," laughs Var as he throws his
sunglasses on the nearby net booth. "Damn, didn't we tell you to diet?"
"I, I am dieting! It's hard, wait a minute! I'm an announcer, not an
interviewer!"
"Yeah," yells Mean Gene stumbling over to the two, "I run the show back here
and he's not interviewing anything!"
Varjay scowls at Gene and lifts his right hand up to his baldhead. He then
pops him right in the forehead with the back of his hand.
"You're a drunk, a blowhard, a has-been, and an asshole. We have enough of
them in this promotion already," says the self proclaimed Messiah,
"especially assholes."
"What the hell?"
"That's right, Geno! Blow it out your ass, cause your FIRED!"
Gene falls over backwards in shock as Madden runs over toward the building
exit. Varjay waves in the security and five NZ Sports Inc. security guards
come in and drag the old announcer off in the distance.
"You can't fire me! I'm Mean Gene! I'm a legend!"
"Tell it to Tony and Mike, bastard," Varjay says turning back around to see
a shaking Madden, "Did you want to say something?"
"Just that I'm going to do a hell of a job interviewing tonight," Madden
says taking a step back with every word.
"Good, now get lost,"
"We have got to talk!"
The voice of Varjay's partner, Zombie Jr, is heard as the camera pans around
to show him with his manager and valet, Aleyah, on his arm. Jr is wearing a
torn red camouflage pants and a shirt with a large skull on it. Aleyah is
dressed as usual in very little, this time purple hot pants with a very
small, barely there top.
"I'm supposed to be your friend and partner and you stick us in a match with
jobbers? What the hell is going on?"
"Bout time you got here," says Var with a smile and then throws Aleyah a
glance, "although I believe I know why you're late and I wouldn't call
Nzdude and Sabella jobbers. If I were you I would take them seriously."
"It doesn't matter! We shouldn't be in the damn match anyway! I'm Zombie
Jr, not some rookie!"
"Damn it, calm down," yells Varjay, "I told you that things would be
different around here from now on. I put two great wrestlers, you and
Aleyah, against two other good wrestlers, Nzdude and Sabella. As an added
bonus to the fans out there, you guys hate each other. Just go out there
and do what you always do. You're a Zombie, damn it!"
WHACK!!!!!!!!!
Varjay is sent tumbling head first by a shot from behind. IceNine then
comes on screen with a dented garbage can held over his head and slams it
down again on to the fallen boss.
"Var, you really need to learn to watch your back," says Nine, who is
dressed in a black leather pants and a gray leather jacket.
Interns scatter as Nine hurls Varjay head first into the Net booth, throwing
all the papers and both laptops to the floor. Jr picks up the garbage can
to keep it away from him, but Nine picks up a chair and blasts Var over the
head with it.
"You wanna play my game, Var? Huh?"
IceNine screams blasting Var in the back with the chair as he tries to get
up. He then swings the chair at Jr to keep him away and then at Aleyah. Jr
tries to get Nine to stop, but he waves him off.
"Get up! Get up, you bastard! It's time we did this!"
"You still owe me, bitch!"
Matango sails in from off-screen spearing IceNine into Jr and Aleyah. He
picks up Nine that throws him head first into the wall and then kicks him in
the family jewels. Nine drops to one knee and the gets blasted by a
chairshot from Tango.
"I'm going to do what I should have done a long time ago, take your ass
OUT!"
Tango hits Nine again with the chair and then gives both Jr and Aleyah one
for good measure. He turns around almost hitting Varjay, who has gotten to
his feet, but stops short. Nine gets up and staggers off down a hall during
the distraction.
"I guess you want a thank you?" Varjay says holding his head and looking
Tango in the eye.
"No, I want his sorry ass in a match, TONIGHT!"
"He's already in a match tonight, against Omegadawn."
"Well, it just became a Triple Threat Match," Matango says getting right in
Var's face, "Because I believe you owe me one."
"Consider it done, but I don't owe anyone a damn thing."
Matango and Varjay stare at each other as the fans of the arena can be heard
rumbling inside. Tango walks off a few steps and then turns back around
towards Varjay.
"He is right about one thing," Tango says throwing the chair down and
glancing at Jr and Aleyah laying on the floor, "you should start watching
your back. If you know what I mean."
As Matango walks off as Jr gets to his feet, the symbol of the NZWA fades
appears on the screen and slowly fades away. The NZWA Nitro Theme begins to
play as the inside of the NZWA Arena is shown full to capacity once again.
Literally hundreds of signs and screaming fans are shown as the camera pans
over the standing crowd. The NZ Tron stands proudly atop the entrance ramp
as pyro explodes and the voices of our new announce team are heard.
"Welcome everyone to the first Nitro of the new millennium! Along with the
NZWA's own resident peon, Revelations, I'm the Masked Man and we're ready to
kick your ass like only the NZWA can do!"
"It's not the new millennium," yells Rev who is now shown sitting beside the
Masked Man at the announcer's booth and wearing a tuxedo t-shirt, "that was
last year!"
"I'm not getting into that with you again, damn it! Just shut up and
pretend you have a clue ok?" says MM, dressed in a sequined mask and full
tuxedo.
"If I had a clue I wouldn't be out here with your stupid ass. That's what I
get for losing the bet,"
"I thought that's how you got your haircut?" says MM as Rev goes to respond,
but is interrupted, "Anyway we just saw everyone's favorite bastard Jr just
stand there and not lift a finger to help his buddy and our co-owner,
Varjay. What the hell is going on there?"
"My nephew is a lowlife,"
"Which runs in the family?"
"Oh, go to hell! I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him and I'm
glad Tango beat him with a chair. As for IceNine, he'll pay for what he did
to my brother, just watch!"
"Well, I'm not going there, but we are going to our new interviewer Mark
Madden, who's with the NZWA's newest rookie, Nzdude."
Mark Madden is shown holding a microphone with a dejected look on his face.
Standing beside him is an impressive bulk of a man covered in tribal
tattoos. Dressed in black pants with several pockets and combat boots,
Nzdude seriously looks toward the camera as Madden argues with someone
off-screen.
"Oh blow it! Uh, I'm here with Nzdude, the NZWA's version of Rikishi on
slimfast."
"Listen up, you tub of lard!" Nzdude yells grabbing the microphone away from
Madden, "I'm not here to play games or take your crap! I'm here to kick ass
and take names! Too bad I didn't bring a pencil, so guess which one I'll be
doing the most?"
"Oh brother," says Madden before getting shoved off-screen.
"At Light, I showed everyone a little of what I can do. Tonight, I team
with Sabella and those idiots we're going up against, they don't have a
chance. Get ready for a new power in the NZWA!"
The inside of the arena is shown again as "Gimme the Prize" by Queen begins
blasting through the arena as flashes of Sabella in action is shown on the
NZ Tron. The curtains under the Tron part and she appears through the
flashing lights stopping at the top of the ramp with her hands in the air.
"Former NZWA US champion, Sabella on her way to the ring," says MM as
Sabella, dressed in a black leather catsuit decorated in flames.
"She's not only a former US champ, but on our recent tour of Japan she
captured, albeit briefly, the PXWO World Women's title as well," says
Revelations as MM gives him a weird look. "What?"
"Just because you're replacing Tenay, doesn't mean you have to sound like
his ass."
"Oh shut up!"
As they argue the arena lights go out and the sound of deep, heavy drums
begin thundering through the arena. A rhythmic chanting begins over the
drums as they get faster. The laser image of a skull appears in the center
of the ring and then flies over the crowd before settling again on the
canvas.
"Hakumba Matada!"
"Shut up, Rev!" yells MM as the sound of a hand hitting someone in the back
of the head is heard.
The music continues to get louder and faster as Nzdude appears on the
entrance stage. He slowly makes his way down to the ring and as he climbs
to the apron throws his hands in the air which make the music stop and the
house lights come back on with the explosion of pyro at all four corners.
"I can't believe you would utter something so stupid," says MM as Dude bows
to Sabella in the ring.
"Get over it, Maskey," Rev replies, "This guy is big as hell and Sabella is
one of the best high flyers in the world. I think they'll give that bastard
nephew of mine and his old lady a run for their money tonight."
"Don't call me Maskey,"
"Kim" by Eminem begins playing suddenly interrupting Masked Man and the
arena lights turn to bright red. Aleyah, still sporting her sexy attire,
appears first followed closely behind by the NZWA's crown prince of evil,
Zombie Jr.
"Look at that bastard! He just looks like an evil dick!" yells Revelations
as Jr walks to ringside taking a Wolfman doll from a kid behind the
guardrail, which makes him cry. "What an asshole! Did you just see that?"
"That's Jr for you, why Varjay still sees in him I'll never know." MM
replies as Jr steps into the ring and takes the microphone.
"Tonight, I'm going to grace all of you idiots with the deaths of this bitch
right here," he says pointing at Sabella, who is held at bay by Referee Jack
Off, "and that bitch rookie right over there."
"What a loud mouth! Start fighting, damn it!" yells Rev as Nzdude just
stares coldly at Jr from across the ring.
"You want blood? You want violence? You want death? Well, I'm your man,"
says Jr as choruses of boos fill the arena.
"Does he mean his own?" asks MM as Rev rolls his eyes at him.
"As for the Wolfman," Jr says taking the Wolfman doll he stole from the kid
at ringside and holding it up into the air, "this is exactly what he's
worth."
Jr then takes the doll, wipes his ass with it, and tears it's head off
throwing it into the crowd. The kid is shown crying his eyes out as the
crowd continues to boo. Sabella then nails Aleyah in the back with a
dropkick and Referee Off calls for the bell.
"Well, FINALLY we're under way here in our opening contest," says MM.
"Jeesh, get over the Solie impression," says Revelations.
"I'm going to ignore that," replies MM, "Sabella tying up with Aleyah and
back into the corner. These two immortal sisters who have been at odds
since the day they were born."
"Yeah, one accused the other of copying her," Rev laughs as MM just shakes
his head.
Aleyah reverses Sabella around and whips her out of the corner. She gives
chase to the other corner, but Sabella bounces off the second turnbuckle
catching her with a back elbow smash. She then jumps up and off the top
rope with a quick split-legged moonsault going for a cover.
"Aleyah out at two!" MM yells, "I thought she had her there."
"What? This early in the match?" Rev replies.
"We're announcers now. We have to say stuff like that."
"Oh yeah,"
Sabella picks her sister up off the match and throws her into the ropes, but
misses a clothesline. They cross sides, but Jr grabs Sabella by her hair
snapping her to the mat. Referee Off gives him a warning, but Jr shoots him
a middle finger.
"A tag to Jr and he's going after that leg," says MM, "then again, I
probably would too."
"What?" says a surprised Revelations.
"Hey, I wear a mask. I'm not dead."
Jr drives a knee a second time into Sabella's left leg and begins twisting
her ankle around in a way that it wasn't designed for. Ref Off asks her if
she wants to quit, but she says "no" and Jr calls her a bitch putting more
pressure on the hold.
"Nzdude is chomping at the bit to get in there," says Revelations.
"Chomping at the bit?" asks MM, "Where the hell did you get that one?"
"Shut up and call the match,"
Jr spits at Dude, which brings him in and allows an Aleyah springboard onto
her sister's prone knee illegally. Jr then picks her up driving her back
into the mat with a hard front slam. He then bounces off the ropes going
for an elbow drop, but Sabella moves out of the way. The crowd begins
cheering for Sabella to make the tag as Jr shakes the cobwebs from his head.
"Aleyah is in the ring. A tag by Sabella!" says MM, "No, the ref didn't see
it and Jr drags Sabella back over to his corner."
"Why do I feel like I'm on WCW Classics?"
"Rev, go to hell."
Jr pulls Sabella up and sends her into the corner following her in. She
hits the corner, but flips up and twists avoiding his shoulder smash and
rolls him out of the corner into a sunset flip, but only gets a two. Jr
then drives her to the mat again with a vicious clothesline and tags Aleyah.
"Damn, that was a vicious clothesline," says MM as him and Revelations just
turn and look at each other.
Jr calls the crowd names again and turns around to be plastered by an Nzdude
shoulder tackle, as he had all he could take from the corner. Aleyah flies
off the turnbuckle, but is caught, spun around, and planted with a powerslam
by the big man. He then bounces off the ropes taking both Jr and himself
over the top rope with a flying cross body block. Aleyah stumbles to her
feet and takes a swing at Sabella, but misses and gets caught and planted by
a monster full nelson slam from her sister.
"Jr sent into the steel step!" yells MM as Dude picks Jr up and throws him
into the ring post.
"Do it again! Do it again!" yells Revelations.
"Sabella going up top, Skytwister Press on her sister! That's it! One!
Two! NO! Jr pulled the ref out, that bastard!"
MM yells as Jr goes to punch the ref, but is stopped by Nzdude and sent
reeling with a headbutt. The ref jumps back into the ring and counts a two
before Aleyah can just get her shoulder up off the mat. On the outside,
Nzdude charges at Jr, but is stopped in his tracks and thrown into the crowd
as Jr rises up revealing himself to be turned into full wolf form.
"Hey, he can't do that!" MM yells as Jr jumps over the top rope and grabs
Sabella clawing her in the back.
"Well, Referee Off is calling for the bell, so apparently they're
disqualified. Something tells me though that they really don't give a
damn."
As Revelations finishes his sentence, Jr hurls Ref Off into the upper deck
like a striped dart as Aleyah locks a figure-four on Sabella. Jr then
stands over her as she screams with his jaws gleaming in the arena lights.
"Damn it somebody stop this! This isn't right!"
MM yells for help and Revelations starts to get up out of his chair, but
before he can Wolfman comes out through the crowd. He leaps into the ring
changing into his wolf form before hitting the canvas and catches Jr across
his head with a backhanded claw.
"The Wolfman is here! Thank god someone came out!"
"Maskey, I don't care for the Wolf, but anyone who kicks my nephew's ass is
ok with me."
As Revelations and Masked Man continue on Aleyah rolls out of the ring to
avoid the fighting werewolves. Teams of security swarm upon the ring with
all manner of nets, bats, and tranquilizer guns. After several minutes of
struggle, both are bound and calmed down into their human forms again as
backstage Varjay is shown watching the show on a monitor.
"Good thing I brought all those security. I guess it's also a good thing I
cleared Wolf for this show."
In the background Joolz comes walking up to him. She is dressed in a blue
full wrestling tights and carrying a piece of broken glass. Varjay stares
at her for a moment before speaking.
"And can I help you?"
"You're right you can help me," she replies, "Last week, I took that bimbo
champ of ours and laid her ass out in a bloody heap. I humiliated her and
proved that she doesn't deserve to call herself World Champion. I want, no,
I DEMAND a title shot this week!"
"I can't give you a title shot," Varjay replies before he sips from a bottle
of water.
"What?"
"You put her in the hospital. She was severely cut, had a broken bone or
two, and lost a lot of blood. No doctor in his or her right mind would
clear her for competition. I guess you should have thought of that before
you attacked her."
"You bastard! This is the NZWA! She, She's supposed to be a fighting
champion! I DEMAND a title shot! Hear me? I DEMAND ONE NOW!"
"You through yet?" Varjay replies after taking his fingers out of his ears,
"I'll tell you what you will get a title shot tonight."
"YES! I knew you would see it my way!"
"A shot at the NZWA US champion, Malk-kind."
"What? I don't want a damn US title shot! I want a,"
"What's that, a triple threat match? You're right, that's a great idea!
So, it'll be you versus Malk versus, let's see," he says rubbing his chin,
"Melvin the Janitor!"
"Melvin, are you insane?"
"Melvin has come into his own recently and had one hell of a showing in
Japan. He also had one hell of a match with Tango on Light and I think
deserves a shot at the US title."
"This isn't fair!"
"So deal with it, you're in my world now."
Varjay turns his attention once again to the monitor as Joolz shoots him the
finger and storms off as the screen fades in to show Mentski sitting in the
corner of what appears to be his locker room staring at a title belt.
"I just got back from Japan and all I got was this bloody freaking belt.
Damn, it has to be on one of the ugliest damn things I've ever seen. I
swear those little bastards hate me and prove it by giving me this damn
belt."
"Mr. Ski, they're ready," says an intern who sticks her head in the door.
"Blow me! I'll be there when I'm good and ready! If they don't like it,
tell 'em all to go to hell!"
The intern disappears and Mentski pulls himself up from off of the floor.
He takes another look at the belt and throws it in his locker.
"I needed something to line the litter box with. Well, might as well go see
who the poor bastard is that I get to beat up tonight."
Mentski walks off screen as the camera pans down into the locker showing the
title belt, which is written mostly in Japanese, but the letters "PXWO" are
visible in bold red.
"Erci, I'm not an interviewer. I'm a damn announcer."
Mark Madden says as he is shown standing with a visibly irritated Erci. A
voice off-screen whispers for Madden to start the interview and after
several minutes he complies.
"Just give me the damn microphone!" Erci yells trying to take it away from
Madden.
"No, it's mine and the only thing I still got!"
"Hey, the cameras are on you two!" yells a voice from off-screen again.
"Tonight," says Erci after pushing Madden down, "I got not only Mentski, but
Bloody J in a hardcore triple threat match. Ski, I know what your capable
of and I know you don't care for anyone or anything. You run into a
roadblock tonight and it's me."
"Give me that, damn it!" whines Madden trying to take the microphone back.
"J, we've had our battles and you accused me of having no honor. Those are
serious words where I come from and you WILL answer for them. If not by my
blade, then by my hands, tonight your ass is mine."
Erci throws the microphone at Madden and walks off screen. Madden picks it
up, brushes himself off, and turns toward the camera to speak.
"If my name isn't McCloud of the Clan McCloud," he says sarcastically into
the camera making a strange face.
"I heard that!" yells Erci off screen as Madden gives a look of shock and
runs away.
"He's going to get his ass kicked one of these days," says Rev as MM adjusts
his headset and gives a thumbs up sign to an intern nearby. "I just hope I'
m there to see it. Why in the world didn't Var fire his ass?"
"That's not important!" yells MM looking into the camera as Rev gives him a
weird look, "because next up we have a special Hellfire Rules Triple Threat
Match involving Erci, Bloody J, and the British King of Extreme, Mentski!"
"You don't have to yell, jeesh," say Rev
"Oh shut up and read the teleprompter for once!"
"I hate those damn things," replies Rev looking down at the small monitor in
the desk, "Ok, Erci is an immortal. Bloody J is a new guy that really had a
good showing in Japan and last week on Light. Then you have Mentski, who's
a former NZWA US champ, the current PXWO World champ in Japan, and tough as
hell."
"You're not reading it right!" yells MM, "Oh forget it! Who's got the upper
hand in the match?"
"How the hell do I know? This is the NZWA!"
"What a color commentator,"
As the two argue, Mentski is shown walking through the backstage area with a
lead pipe in his hand. He is dressed in torn denim shorts with a flannel
shirt tied around his waist and wearing the new Mentski "British is Extreme"
t-shirt with a worn leather jacket. The look in his eye is particularly
devilish, like he is just waiting to break something.
"This is going to be one hell of a match," the voice of MM is heard as Ski
steps into what appears to be the Arena parking garage, "Erci doesn't like
J, J doesn't like Erci, and Mentski doesn't like anyone."
"They aren't starting in the ring?" complains Rev, "Damn, I hate watching
the action on this monitor."
Mentski walks around the parked cars and kicks the scattered boxes out of
his way. He looks around the area and seems to get calm, but suddenly
Bloody J runs in from the side screaming with his sword over his head.
"Damn! J tried to dice him up," Revelations yells as Ski blocks J with the
pipe and then again a third time.
"Bloody J, trying to be silent, but deadly. Shut up, Rev," MM says before
his partner can get a word out, "Good thing that Ski was on his toes."
J swings again, but only slices through the hood of a car as Mentski rolls
out of the way. He then charges, driving J into the side of the car with
the end of the pipe. Ski then nails J in the back of the head with an
elbow.
"Ski's as tough as they come," MM is heard, "and now he's choking the rookie
with his pipe!"
"Where the hell is Erci?"
Before Revelations can even get it out, Erci charges into the frame slamming
a chair into Mentski's back. He then bashes the Brit in the head not once,
but twice dropping him to the floor. Erci then turns around nailing J in
the head with a thundering chairshot.
"He's swinging that chair like it's going out of style!" Rev says as Erci
blasts a rising Mentski again with a chairshot knocking him backwards into a
pile of boxes in the corner.
"Finally, Referee Smith N. Wesson has appeared and the match is officially
started," MM says as a burly looking referee runs onto the scene.
"Although, he's only there to count the pin as this is Hellfire Rules!"
"Oh hell yeah!"
Erci throws the chair down and grabs Ski's ankle twisting him over trying to
apply an STF. Ski starts throwing elbows back into Erci's face trying to
keep him from hooking in the hold and finally stops him by reaching back and
raking his eyes. The Highlander stumbles backward as Mentski gets to his
feet, but then both are thrown into the boxes again by a flying Bloody J,
who comes sailing in off the top of one of the cars.
"Sort of looked like you there for a minute, Maskey," says Rev as J goes for
a cover on both men, but only gets two.
"No one can top my swan dive from last year," laughs MM, "and don't call me
Maskey."
Mentski gets to his feet, kicks J in the stomach, and sends him flying into
the side of a dumpster nearby. The thud is heard echoing through the
backstage area. He then turns to clothesline Erci over the hood of a car,
but then climbs on top of it.
"Ski's got Erci on the top of the car!" MM yells as he locks his arm around
Erci's head, "Could it be a Ski-dog off the car? NO! Erci's blocking it
and a back body drop through the hood of that Caddy!"
"Damn, the back of Ski's head broke through the roof!"
Revelations adds as Erci covers Ski, whose head is still stuck in the roof
of the Cadillac. He only gets two though as J grabs his foot pulling him
off the car and to the floor. Then a garbage can flies on screen nailing
Erci in the head, then another, driving him up against the car.
"Bloody J has his sword again! Move Erci," MM yells as J charges with his
sword, but barely misses a diving Erci. "It's stuck!"
"Stuck?"
"His sword, you idiot! He can't pull it out!"
Revelations starts laughing as Masked Man hits him over and over with a
folder to quiet him. J struggles to pull his sword free, but is blasted by
a chair shot from Erci. The Immortal then grabs him and hurls him head
first through the big window of what appears to be an intern breakroom.
"If we had a dollar for every broken window,"
Masked Man says as J is shown bleeding as screaming interns run to and fro.
Erci stumbles back a step, but is then grabbed in a reverse front face lock
from behind by Mentski, who is still on the top of the car. He then flips
over forward hurling them both into the boxes once again.
"A Diamond Dust! Ski hit him with a damn Diamond Dust off the top of the
car," MM yells as Mentski covers Erci, "One! Two! Three! Mentski has won
it!"
"I told you he was a tough bastard and with a Masato Tanaka move no less!
As Revelations speaks, "Dust" by Cypress Hill is heard echoing through the
Arena as Ref Wesson raises Ski's hand. He rolls off of the fallen Erci and
finally gets to his feet as the camera follows him walking toward the door
leading to the locker room.
"Who the hell?"
Masked Man yells as a figure dressed in black and silver striped tights with
a silver tiger mask comes out of no where sending Mentski crashing through a
door with a dropkick. Several half-naked women scatter all about screaming
as the figure starts bashing Mentski on the floor of what apparently is the
Nitro Girls dressing room.
"That's Tiger Supreme XI," yells Revelations, "We saw him in Japan and now
he's here?"
"What the hell is he doing here?"
Masked Man asks as Tiger picks up Mentski slamming him head first into a
nearby table. He then kicks Ski in the stomach and hooks both of his arms.
"Not a Tiger Driver through the table! NO!" MM yells as Mentski is picked
up and drove head and shoulders first through the table smashing it into
pieces. "Who the hell does he think he is? This isn't Japan, damn it!"
Supreme then stands over Mentski and yells at him in Japanese. He then
slaps him and disappears off-screen.
"What did he say?"
"I believe he said something about the PXWO title," says Rev answering MM's
question, "Well, either that or something about sushi."
"Why do I bother?"
As trainers run into the room to check on Mentski, the screen fades away to
show Nightmare standing under an open sky. He is apparently on the roof of
the Arena and dressed head to toe in black with a long black duster. He
pulls off his shades and begins to speak.
"Varjay, I have my reasons not to trust you. I also have my reasons to
believe in your change of heart," he says looking down at the traffic on
Foley Avenue.
"Well, tonight I challenge that. I wanna see if you've gone back to the
basics. I wanna see if you are the Messiah of WRESTLING you claim you are.
That's why I asked for this match, just you, men, and the ring. No
gimmicks, no interference, no weapons, it's just going to be one on one to
see who the better wrestler is. The way we used to."
Nightmare steps closer to the edge of the Arena's roof and the camera pans
down showing the tiny specks of the few people roaming around down in front
of the building.
"Tonight, I leave the bloodthirst, the weapons, and the entertainment to
others. Let's do this, Old School."
With those words he turns falling over backwards off the roof. The camera
then follows him over, but he is gone as the screen fades to shown Varjay
walking to the ring wearing standard blue wrestling tights with blue
kneepads and blue boots complete with blue kickpads. He has a towel around
his neck and a look of determination is his eyes as he stops to speak with
Cathy, who is standing by the curtains of the Tron, and Head of Security
Peabody Adams.
"Guys, I don't want anyone at ringside save me, Nightmare, and the ref. If
anyone, and I mean anyone, tries to come through here once the match has
started, then you break their arms."
"Don't worry," replies Cathy, "it's all taken care of."
"Good, by the way where are Clingman and Kaz?"
"Clingman called before showtime and said that Kaz was hurt and that they
wouldn't be here," answers Adams.
"What? Cling is supposed to have a match with Angel tonight!"
"He was told that, but said they're the tag champs and can do whatever the
hell they want."
"Well, I'm the boss and can do whatever the hell I want. He was just
supposed to have a singles match, but now I'm making it a match for the
World tag titles. Kaz is hurt? Well, it's going to be a singles match to
end the controversy from Light."
"But they're not here," says Adams.
"You call Cling and tell him that he's got a Title defense after this next
match and if he isn't here, Angel wins by forfeit and gets to pick her
partner."
"Yes sir," says Adams running off-screen.
"I like your new attitude, Var," says Cathy, "Sr would be proud."
Varjay only nods his head and walks off down the hall.
"Wow, can Varjay do that?" the voice of Revelations is heard as the inside
of the arena is shown again.
"I guess so since he's the boss," replies MM as the lights begin to dim as
"Be quiet and Drive" by the Deftones starts to play. "Speaking of the Boss,
next up we have a special challenge WRESTLING match pitting Varjay against
Nightmare."
"This should be on hell of a match seeing how both have strong backgrounds
in Japan and especially wanted this match to stick to that" says
Revelations, "so they've flown in New Japan Referee Tiger Hitori to be the
special official for this match."
"Wow," says MM sarcastically, "like anyone knows who that is."
"I know him," replies Rev, "He's actually a good friend of mine."
"Didn't you sleep with his wife?"
"What? Of course not," Rev yells and then leans over whispering to MM,
"What are you trying to do, get me killed?"
Masked Man laughs as smoke filters into the arena and Nightmare appears
dressed in black as pyro explodes on either side of the entrance stage. He
slowly makes his way down to the ring taking in the crowd's cheers as the
camera pans up to show a sign that reads, "Welcome to my Nightmare." After
climbing into the ring, he shakes hands with Referee Tiger Hitori and they
exchange a few words as the lights of the arena completely go out.
"Well, it's dark out here,"
"Shut up, Rev,"
Pyro explodes at the entrance stage lighting the entire arena as the
beginnings of "Bullgod" by Kid Rock begin blasting through the arena. As
the first verse hits, the curtains under the NZ Tron pull back and Varjay
steps through into the arena.
"My old partner means business tonight," Rev says as Var makes his way down
the aisle, "And I don't believe I've heard him cheered in the NZWA Arena in
a long time."
"It's amazing what a little change of heart can do,"
Says the Masked Man as Varjay leaps over the top rope and shakes Ref Hitori'
s hand. He then wipes his forehead with the towel before throwing it into
the crowd.
"There's someone a souvenir," says MM.
"Who would want a sweaty towel?"
"Anyway, we seem ready to go here," MM says throwing Rev a weird look, "Both
of these guys are very accomplished wrestlers in their own right and I know
will put on one hell of a match."
Ref Hitori stands in the center of the ring after checking both men for
foreign objects. He holds them at bay, but then drops his hand calling for
the bell. Both Nightmare and Varjay start circling the ring. Nighty
reaches in towards him for a tie-up, but Var throws his leg up nearly
connecting with a crescent kick to the side of his head. Nightmare steps
back and smiles.
"They seem to be in a feeling out process," says MM as they finally tie-up
in the ring and pull each other back and forth jockeying for position.
"Damn, I haven't seen one of them in the states for awhile,"
"Rev,"
"I know,"
After a few seconds of struggling, Nighty backs Var into the corner and Ref
Hitori calls for the break. Nighty hesitates and Var covers his face, but
he backs away giving a clean break.
"There's another,"
"Rev, please," says MM, "We should mention that this match is a one fall
with an hour time limit."
"Time limit?"
"Rev,"
"Oh shut up yourself!"
The two tie-up again with Var getting the advantage over Nightmare with a
wristlock. He then cranks Nightmare's arm once, steps over with his leg,
and flips Nighty over to the mat. Nighty reaches through locking his hands
together to prevent Var from turning it into a crucifix armbar.
"Mat wrestling in the NZWA?" says Rev, "What the hell are they thinking?"
"Shut up and watch the match!"
Var starts slamming his leg into Nighty's head causing his hands to loosen.
He then locks his legs and starts wrenching back on Nighty's arm, but they'
re too close to the ropes as he barely gets a foot on the bottom one. Ref
Hitori calls for the break.
"You know," says Rev, "In Japan they would have applauded that."
"We're not in Japan," replies MM.
"I know,"
Varjay backs away as Nightmare gets to his feet favoring his arm. The two
go to tie-up again, but this time Nighty catches him with a forearm shot to
the head, then a second one. Var gives him a Chop back and they begin
trading punches and chops in the center of the ring. Var gives Nighty a big
backhand chop, which seems to stun him, but Nighty comes back to deliver one
of his own causing Var to step back. He then throws Varjay into the ropes
delivering one hell of a clothesline that nearly beheads the co-owner.
"Damn!"
"You said that,"
Says Revelations as Nighty picks Var back up throwing him again into the
ropes and connecting with a big clothesline. This time however, Varjay
jumps back to his feet and catches Nightmare turning around in a pick up and
spins around planting him with a powerslam.
Varjay then bounces off the ropes, leaps into the air, and drives both of
his knees into Nightmare's stomach. He goes for the cover, but doesn't even
get a one count as Nighty jumps up and slams a thunderous backhand chop
followed by another vicious clothesline.
"Var staring up at the ceiling again," says MM, "and those hits they're
taking are echoing across the arena."
Nighty picks up Varjay and snaps him over with a vicious looking suplex. He
picks him up again and hits another. He then goes for it a second time, but
Var flips over his back going for a full nelson. Nighty rolls through and
out of it, getting both of Var's arms locked in a double-arm suplex
position. He then picks him up, but Var flips out of it and catches him
with a hard spinning backfist in the back of his head.
"These two are putting on a clinic," says MM, "This is awesome!"
"What you expect," Rev says as Var jumps in the air driving an elbow into
Nighty's chest, "they're from the NZWA."
Varjay bounces off the ropes, but Nightmare leaps up swinging for a
clothesline. However, Var throws up both his arms blocking it and then
jumps up spinning to the side catching Nighty with hard kick from the front
of his foot.
"Nightmare's back up!"
Masked Man says, but as soon as he does another kick from Var of the same
variety drops him. Varjay picks Nightmare up and hurls him into the ropes.
He leaps for what appears to be a spin wheel kick, but is caught and
powerbombed in on fluid move by Nightmare. Nighty then picks him up
throwing him into the corner and charges nearly taking Varjay's head off
with a clothesline.
"He's going for another," Rev says.
"NO! Varjay got a foot up," yells MM, "He grabs Nightmare and a spinning
DDT out of the corner!"
Nightmare bounces back up staggering as Varjay goes for another jumping
kick, but is blocked. Var tries again, but Nightmare blocks it a second
time and lunges forward for a clothesline. Varjay ducks, leaps onto
Nightmare's shoulders, and flips him forward on to the mat locking him in a
crucifix armbar in the center of the ring.
"Jujigatame, as known in Japan," shouts MM, "and he's got him locked in the
center of the ring!"
"Nightmare can't reach the ropes!"
Revelations yells as Varjay cranks back on the arm as Nightmare struggles to
touch the ropes with his leg, but they're just out of reach. Referee Hitori
right there in the midst of the action asks Nighty if he wants to quit, but
he tries to hold on.
"He can't take much more of that!"
"Rev, he's got a throw in the towel," says MM, "what's one loss compared to
a broken arm? What the hell?"
All of a sudden, IceNine runs down the aisle sliding into the ring. He
drives a legdrop into Varjay's throat, which causes Referee Tiger Hitori to
call for the bell and Var to break the hold. Nine then takes out a pair of
brass knuckles punching the dazed Var in the head.
"Damn it! Damn IceNine," yells MM, "We were seeing one hell of a wrestling
match and he had to ruin it!"
"What about keeping people from ringside?" as Revelations asks the area just
behind the entrance area is shown to be empty.
"What the hell? Where's the security?"
Masked Man continues to yell as Nine sits atop Varjay slamming his
brass-covered fist into his head. Nightmare finally rises to his feet, sees
Nine, and kicks him in the back of the head.
"Nine's going to get it now!"
Nightmare throws IceNine in to the ropes delivering a leaping clothesline
that flips Nine a full three sixty. Nine staggers to his feet, but Nighty
grabs him throwing him out of the ring as Ref Hitori checks on Varjay, who
is to one knee.
"That's what you get for interfering," yells Rev, "Now go sit in the freezer
or something!"
"That damn Nine, he ruined a good match just to spite Varjay," says MM, "He'
ll get his at the PPV!"
"Now, that's how you do a segway!"
Remarks Revelations as Nightmare is shown helping Varjay to his feet. The
screen then fades to a commercial for the upcoming NZWA "King of the
Deathmatches" Pay Per View. Flashes of each participant are shown as
various implements of destruction lay about a ring decorated with torn mats
and barbwire ropes. Finally, the phrase "You can't just win, you have to
SURVIVE" appears on the screen with the NZWA logo.
"Now that's going to be one hell of a show," says MM as "Poison" by Alice
Cooper begins playing in the Arena.
"Yep," replies Rev, "and whoever comes out on top in that gets a shot at all
of the belts in the NZWA."
Angel walks out into the arena dressed in purple velvet pants and a white
gothic shirt. Her dark hair hangs about her pale face as she scowls at a
kid at ringside with a sign that says, "Here comes the sun."
"I was wondering," inquires MM, "how does one person get a shot at all the
belts? What about the tag belts?"
"Hey, your supposed to be the smart one," Rev says as Angel climbs into the
ring, "besides, Angel has a chance tonight to win both tag belts by herself
and maybe without lifting a finger if Cling doesn't show."
"I don't necessarily agree with Varjay's decision," says MM, "since Kaz was
cut pretty bad by that sickle on Light, but I guess being the champs means
showing up when you're hurt."
"Yep," replies Revelations, "it doesn't matter anyway since it's going down
whether they like it or not."
"Enter Sandman" by Metallica begins blasting through the arena as Angel
waits in the ring. The crowd rises to see the arrival of Clingman, but the
song plays through in its entirety and he doesn't show. The song plays
again, but no Clingman. Angel begins arguing with the referee and he starts
talking it over with new ring announcer, Snidely Whiplash.
"Well, looks like Adams couldn't get in touch with Clingman."
As Masked Man talks a taxi is shown pulling into the NZWA Arena parking
garage. The door flies open and out steps Clingman dressed in a black shirt
and gray slacks. He's carrying a gym bag and is visibly angry.
"Look, it's Cling," says Rev, "I can't believe he made it."
"Yeah," MM replies, "and he doesn't look to happy about it either."
The referee finishes talking with Whiplash and then tells Angel something
that has her smiling. Whiplash then gets on the house microphone and says
that Referee Snip Parsons will count to ten and then if Clingman doesn't
show award the World tag titles to Angel.
"Wait a minute," says Rev, "Cling is here. He's in the back, you idiot!"
"They don't have monitors, Rev," says MM, "and besides, I thought you didn't
like Clingman."
"Oh, shut up!"
As the fans start getting restless, Ref Parsons starts counting, but doesn't
get to five before Clingman walks out from the back still dressed in his
street clothes and carrying his gym bag. Angel argues with the ref, who
stopped counting, as the Tag champion climbs into the ring and gets the
microphone.
"I was sitting at home with my lovely wife," says Clingman, "trying to nurse
her back to health. When I get a call from some idiotic NZWA lackey,"
"Hey, Peabody Adams is head of security!" MM says as Cling continues.
"That tells me that not only do I have to come to the arena tonight, but
defend OUR titles against a third rate opponent in a singles match."
Angel starts to go after him, but is held back by the referee.
"We are the TAG TEAM champions, not the TAG SINGLES champions. I know that
Boss of ours," Cling says while making quotation symbols with his fingers
sarcastically, "has a problem with the fact that it was MY WIFE and ME that
beat him and that idiot Jr for the belts, but this is ridiculous."
"Come on already," says MM, "will you just shut up and start the damn
match!"
"Angel," Clingman continues, "I have nothing against you. I know that you
have a skin condition or something, but that's nothing to be ashamed of. I
just want justice and look at me, I haven't even had a chance to get into my
gear."
"Jeesh, this guy loves to hear himself doesn't he?" MM says.
"Yeah," replies Rev, "I never knew how much making out with my daughter
actually shut him up. I wish she was here now."
"Well, since I'm forced into this title defense tonight," Clingman says, "I
guess we should start the match, but I will warn you Angel, I'm not wearing
regular wrestling boots, but very hard shoes."
"Oh lord," MM says, "somebody shoot this guy, please!"
"Referee, this is a regular title match right? No special stipulations,
right?"
The referee nods "yes" to Clingman to answer his question.
"Ok then," Clingman says, "you can ring the bell."
"FINALLY,"
Both announcers comment as Referee Parsons calls for the bell and both Cling
and Angel begin circling the ring. All of a sudden Cling grabs the referee
and punches him right in the face. Ref Parsons falls to the mat and then
jumps up calling for the bell and the disqualification.
"What the hell?" yells MM as Angel's hand is raised, but she argues with the
official, "That bastard got himself disqualified!"
"You're right, Maskey," says Rev, "and guess what? The title cannot change
hands on at DQ."
Clingman falls out of the ring and grabs his bag walking up the aisle with a
smile on his face as the crowd boos. He blows them all a kiss and then
walks to the back.
"I can't believe this crap," MM shouts, "And you mean to tell me he'll get a
paycheck? What kind of son-in-law do you have?"
"Apparently a smarter one that I thought."
Revelations comments as Mark Madden is shown standing with Matango, who is
dressed in cargo shorts and a leather vest with "Big Tango" written on the
back. Apparently Madden is still complaining about his situation as Tango
completely ignores him.
"It's stupid! I'm the best! I should," Madden is cut off as Tango grabs
the microphone away from him and pushes him off-screen. The sound of
something crashing into a garbage can is heard in the background soon after.
"I've done a lot of bad things in my life," Matango says as he stares into
the camera, "I was a hard-ass kid that didn't give a damn about anyone, not
even myself. I ran away from pain, my own and the pain I caused others. If
it wasn't for my beloved Beyonce, I would still be running or worse, I would
be dead.
She took me in and showed me a better way. She made me the man I am today.
The man that all those people in this Arena cheer for, but the one thing
that she couldn't do was take away the guilt I carried in my heart ever
since that night.
IceNine, you let me live my entire life thinking that I did the unthinkable,
take another human life. You took some of my humanity, some of my sanity,
and what little of my childhood I had left. I thought I was a murderer,
after tonight I'll be an executioner, yours.
Omega, I couldn't keep you out of this match. Hell, I don't believe I have
the right, but if you get in my way tonight, I will take your ass out
without batting an eye. I'm going to end all of this once and for all.
It's not just about titles. It's not just about revenge. It's about life
and death and tonight the reaper is ME.
So, Omega, build your fires. IceNine, build your igloo. Cause tonight you
dance the tango with THE Big Tango and neither of you will have any choice,
but to REMEMBER THE NAME!"
Matango throws the microphone down and walks off-screen as Madden tries to
get to his feet. The screen eventually fades back into the Arena as Joolz
is seen walking down to the ring. She still has the piece of broken glass
in her hand and swings it at the fans by the guardrail.
"I don't believe I have ever seen Matango so fired up," comments MM.
"Same here," replies Rev, "I wouldn't want to be Nine tonight. He's stuck
his nose in Varjay and Nightmare's business and has to face two guys whose
lives he ruined. It will not be a good night to be the snowman."
"Face to Face" by Garth Brooks begins playing and the crowd jumps to its
feet as Melvin the Janitor appears on the entrance ramp waving his mop in
the air. Dressed in his usual brown jumpsuit, he shakes the hands of the
crowd and even holds up a sign to the camera with a picture of him doing the
"Mop-Up" on someone that reads, "Taking out the trash."
"Tonight, by virtue of our esteemed Boss," says MM, "Melvin gets a shot at
the NZWA US title. I can't believe that this guy was cleaning our toilets
not too long ago."
"I couldn't believe how popular Melvin was in Japan," replies Rev as Melvin
gets in the ring and chases Joolz around the ring while riding his mop.
"They loved him over there."
"Well, there won't be any love here tonight as he's got to deal with not
only Joolz, but the NZWA US champion, Malk-kind."
"Loser's Carpet Ride" begins playing as the NZWA US champ, Malk-kind, walks
out dressed in camouflage shorts with dark green boots and wearing the US
title around his waist. He is carrying Mr. Louis, his bat, and stops in the
aisle giving his two opponents in the ring a look of disgust.
"Malk looks like he's ready," Rev says, "but I know he wasn't expecting to
defend the title here tonight."
"When you're a champion in the NZWA," replies MM, "you always have to be
prepared to defend your title."
Malk climbs into the ring and waves his bat around. Melvin responds by
waving his mop and Joolz her piece of glass. Referee Snap Dragon refuses to
ring the starting bell until all the foreign objects are out of the ring, so
then all three wrestlers argue over who will lay their weapon down first.
Eventually, all do and the bell rings.
"Now, WHOA! Malk and Joolz attack Melvin!" yells MM as the two jump the
Janitor after the bell sounds. "It's supposed to be a triple threat match
not a damn handicap match!"
"Remember Joolz didn't want the match in the first place," as Rev say this
She nails Malk with a low blow and DDT's him into the mat, "Or maybe I was
wrong."
Joolz bounces off the ropes with a springboard moonsault, but then speared
out of her mind by Melvin. He lets loose a holler for the fans, but Malk
superkicks him right in the mouth when he turns around.
"Malk with an elbow drop, another, and another," MM reports as Malk then
clotheslines Joolz, "The US champ is taking control of the match."
"Well, he just threw Joolz out of the ring," says Rev as Malk goes to pick
up Melvin, but the Janitor cradles him for a count of two. "And that was
close! We almost had a Janitor for a US Champion."
Malk kicks Melvin in the head and throws him into the ropes going for a
cross body block, but is caught in mid-air. Melvin then spins around
planting him with a powerbomb. Malk gets to his feet and then starts
trading punches with the Janitor, but soon get sent to the corner by a
Melvin headbutt and a Vader-esque running body bomb.
"The champ is in the corner," MM yells, "and getting his ass handed to him
by the Janitor!"
"Melvin's taking out the trash!" Revelations yells as Joolz rolls back into
the ring with a chair.
"She's got a chair," MM shouts, "but misses! Melvin with a headbutt on
Joolz! One for Malk and a double noggin-knocker!"
The crowd is on its feet as Melvin bounces off the ropes and hits a splash
on Malk. The count is only to two however, as Joolz breaks it up. Melvin
then picks up Joolz, but gets a thumb to the eye and a kick in the
grapefruits for his trouble.
"Come on Ref," says MM, "That's a low blow!"
Malk rolls out of the ring and grabs Mr. Louis jumping on the apron.
Referee Dragon is arguing with him as Melvin shoves Joolz off sending her
crashing into both of them. Malk lands head first on the guardrail and
Referee Dragon falls to the floor. Joolz staggers backwards into Melvin's
arms with Malk's bat in her hands.
"Melvin going for the Mop-Up, NO!" yells MM as Joolz bashes Melvin in the
head with Malk's bat, "Damn it! She hit him in the head!"
"The ref's down though," replies Rev, "No one to count the pin."
Joolz throws the bat outside the ring and climbs up on the turnbuckle
signaling for some kind of high-risk finisher. Suddenly the NZWA World
Champion, Kalee, runs down to ringside. With her head heavily bandaged,
Kalee jumps on the apron and nails Joolz in the back with her right arm,
which is still in a cast. Joolz tumbles to the mat with a thud and Kalee
leaves ringside with a smile on her face.
"Did you know that was going to happen?" MM asks looking at Rev.
"I thought she was at home," replies Rev, "she never listens to me though."
Melvin gets to his feet and seeing Joolz lying prone on the mat points to
the corner. The crowd explodes as he climbs up to the top rope and lets out
a holler before leaping off with a moonsault right onto Joolz.
"A moonsault from the big man!" screams MM, "I can't believe he can fly!"
"He's not only flying," says Rev, "The Ref's counting!"
"One! Two! Three!" yells MM as the Arena goes bonkers as the bell rings
and announcer Whiplash announces a NEW NZWA US champion. "I can't believe
it! Melvin's a champion! Melvin's a champion!"
A groggy Malk gets to his feet to see Melvin standing on the second
turnbuckle across the ring holding the US belt in the air. A disgusted look
comes over his face and he picks up Mr. Louis rolling into the ring.
"What is Malk doing?" MM says as Malk runs across the ring bashing Melvin in
the back to a chorus of boos and flying paper and cans. "That bastard!
What a sore loser!"
"He's beating the trash out of Melvin," shouts Rev.
"Stop it, Malk! The damn match is over! Somebody stop him!"
All of a sudden the corners of the ring explode with fire, which startle
Malk-kind. The lights of the arena dim and out from the back step two
gigantic men wearing masks. Both stand nearly seven feet tall and from the
looks of it weigh well over four hundred pounds. Dressed in red leather
with red leather masks, the duo walk down the aisle and climb into the ring.
"Who the hell is that?" MM shouts and Malk stands looking at both men.
"I don't know, but they're not here for an autograph!"
As Revelations replies, Malk laughs and goes to shake one of the men's
hands. The behemoth of a man grabs Malk; gorilla presses him in the air,
and throws him to the other who catches him in a spinning powerslam.
"DAMN!" yells Rev as the two stand over Malk and Joolz runs from ringside.
"My sentiments exactly, my friend" replies MM, "these two mean business, but
what's their names? Who are they?"
One of the two men turns and written on the back of their jacket is the
word, "Sabotage." Erci and The Angry Pigeon run down to see about Melvin as
the big men walk off passing them in the aisle without giving them a glance.
"What a sight!" yells MM.
"You can say that again,"
Revelations comments as an office backstage is shown. The office looks like
it has been torn to shreds as chairs are destroyed and papers scatter the
floor. The camera pans over showing Varjay lying in the middle of a broken
desk and covered in blood. His shirt is torn and he's knocked out cold.
"Oh my god! Someone's attacked the Boss!" yells MM, "get someone back
there! Who could have done such a thing?"
"It had to be IceNine, but wait what if Omegadawn still wants at Varjay?"
Revelations responds.
"Damn it! Who did this? What" MM says listening into his headset, "I'm
told we have to go to something, but the help is on its way."
Varjay is shown still lying motionless and bleeding as the screen slowly
fades away to show a dark room lit only by the light of a small fire.
Sitting in the corner, visible only by the glare of his eyes, is Omegadawn.
"The flames call for blood. They call for the blood of the guilty. They
call for the blood of the innocent. They call names. Names I know all too
well."
The flame of the small fire grows showing more of the room, which appears to
be somewhere in the bowels of the Arena. Omega looks into the fire as he
continues to speak.
"I have spent all of my time searching for the death of one I know now to
have no involvement. Does that change things?
No, the flames still cry for his blood and I will appease them. I shall
deliver his flesh, his heart, and his soul. It is not over.
A new name it now cries for, one with a heart cold as a block of ice. Fire
melts ice and soon shall melt him.
There is no escape from the flames, for I bring with me the fires of hell."
The fire explodes into a raging inferno covering the room in seconds as
Omega just sits huddled in the center. It continues to burn as the camera
cuts to show Varjay being loaded into an ambulance. Nightmare and Cathy is
helping them and Little V, who has been working recently as a technical
advisor is also present.
"Be careful with him," Nightmare says, "I'm going to find the bastard who
did this."
Little V hops into the ambulance with Var as they shut the door and drive
off. Zombie Jr then runs up wondering what happened.
"You bastard!" Nightmare yells at him, "I should kick your ass right now!"
"What happened?" Jr says, "I was just told that my buddy got attacked!"
"Like you don't know," Cathy says, "That asshole Nine did it and he's your
friend isn't he?"
"Nine is a business partner," Jr replies, "I stay out of his affairs with
Varjay, but I know he didn't attack him."
"Oh yeah," Nightmare says, "How you know that?"
"Because Aleyah was with him and now he's on his way to the ring. I need to
call and check on my partner, so EXCUSE me."
Jr walks off leaving Nightmare and Cathy visibly upset as the inside of the
Arena is shown once again. "Breathe" by Prodigy begins blasting as the
lights shine a blue hue and the NZ Tron begins flashing images of IceNine.
He walks out, with a microphone in hand, dressed in full sliver tights with
a black top and mirror shades. Pausing atop the entrance ramp with his
hands in the air, Nine takes in the roar of boos he receives before walking
to the ring.
"Well, there's the bastard in question," MM says as Nine steps through the
ropes and into the ring.
"Now Maskey, we don't know if he did it yet," Revelations replies, "You
heard what Omegadawn said didn't you? Wait, I believe Nine's gonna speak."
"Well, well, well," IceNine says standing in the ring grinning like the evil
bastard he is, "looks like our Boss, Varjay, still hasn't learned to watch
his back. That's a real shame."
"I knew that bastard did it, just listen to him!" MM shouts as Rev tries to
calm him down.
"Now, of course I was getting ready for my match, so I had absolutely
nothing to do with that terrible act," Nine says laughing out loud into the
microphone. "But I sure would have loved to watch it go down."
The thunderous sounds of boos fill the arena as IceNine struts around in the
ring. A sign held up by a fan wearing an Omegadawn t-shirt reads, "The
Ice-age ends tonight."
"I am through sitting in the back letting all the power and glory elude me!
I'm through letting idiots like Omegadawn and Matango and Varjay stand in
the spotlight while I, the true talent and power of the NZWA, have to listen
to their boring speeches."
"You just wait until they get out here you bastard!"
"Mask, calm down."
"How can you tell me to calm down? That's the bastard that cut your brother
's throat! Don't you give a damn?"
"The NZWA will learn to bow down to the NEW Ice-age. A NEW Cold Front that
will sweep over this company and each and every one of your pathetic lives.
You people will learn to chant my name, not because you favor my actions,
but because I DEMAND your obedience. None will stand in my way to the top!
For none can match me and this is truly the game I play!"
"REMEMBER THE NAME" blasts through the Arena followed by "Lunation" by DJ
Krush and the crowd explodes. IceNine throws down the microphone in disgust
as Matango appears on the entrance stage to a chorus of "Tango Tango Tango"
chants and a sea of screaming fans. He throws a fist in the air, points
down at Nine in the ring, and charges to ringside.
"It's about time somebody came out here and shut that bastard up," MM yells
as Tango slides under the ropes and goes after Nine. "Matango is in the
house and he wants a piece of IceNine's coldhearted ass!"
Matango and Nine trade blows until Tango gets the upper hand sending Nine
backwards into the ropes and then catching him with a clothesline. Nine
jumps up, but takes the low road falling out of the ring. Matango leaps up
on the second rope with crowd solidly behind him.
"What's the matter, Nine?" yells MM, "If you're the power, then get your ass
back in there and prove it!"
"Tango is ready for business!" says Rev, "I told you he was fired up!"
As Matango and IceNine trade insults, the lights dim and a humongous
explosion rocks the Arena as the NZ Tron becomes engulfed in flames.
Stepping out from the back to "Revenge" by Papa Roach and dressed in loose
black pants is Omegadawn. He stares coldly at the ring, seemingly his eyes
blazing with the very fire that drives him, and then slowly makes his way to
the ring.
"Speaking of being ready for business, Omega is here. Tango isn't wasting
any time!"
Masked Man yells as Matango climbs out of the ring and meets Omega in the
aisle. The two begin wailing away on each other as IceNine stands in the
ring leaning on the ropes with a smile on his face.
"Nine's doing the smart thing," comments Revelations, "it's first pinfall
wins, so he's going to let these two tire each other out."
Not two seconds after Revelations speaks, Omega reverses a throw attempt by
Matango and hurls him into the steel steps. He then grabs IceNine by the
feet pulling him out of the ring. Nine tries to hit Omega, but the big man
blocks it and lands a punch of his own. Omega then grabs Nine by the
throat, chokeslaming him on the floor with authority.
"That's what I'm talking about," screams MM, "Tear him a new ass!"
Omegadawn lifts the steel steps over his head and slams then down, but
narrowly missing Nine, who rolls out of the way. Suddenly, Omega is drove
into the guardrail by Tango with a baseball slide from inside the ring.
Tango climbs the turnbuckle and leaps off, but hits IceNine instead with a
flying cross body block sending them tumbling down the aisle.
"Damn, what a match!" MM yells as Rev stands up in his seat to get a better
view, "Tango's got Nine and rolls him into the ring. Get out of the way
Ref, we don't need your ass anyway!"
Matango goes for IceNine, but gets a finger in the eye. Nine then throws
him into the ropes, but Tango reverses only to get planted by a Nine DDT
when ducking his head. Meanwhile, Omega rolls back into the ring and
catches Nine with a running clothesline that nearly throws his boots into
the upper deck.
"What a clothesline!" a hoarse MM tries to yell as Omega grabs Nine locking
him into a version of a camel clutch. "Submit you bastard, submit!"
"Mask, calm down!" yells Revelations, "you're going to have a heartattack!"
"Go to hell, you bald headed freak! Get 'em Omega! Break his damn neck!"
Revelations grabs Masked Man and begins shaking him as Matango breaks up the
submission move by Omega. Then in an awesome feat of strength, Tango picks
him up slamming him into the mat. He then climbs up to the top rope and
leaps off with a big elbow drop and covers for a pin.
"Only a one," shouts Rev, "he can't pin Omega with a move like that."
"Forget about him," screeches MM, "It's Nine you should be going after!"
"Aren't we supposed to be unbiased?"
"This is the NZWA, damn it! When is anything what it's supposed to be?"
Tango then catches a rising Omega with a flying forearm smash, but gets
planted by IceNine when he turns around.
"Absolute Zero!" yells Revelations, "He hit him with the Absolute Zero!"
"DAMN IT!" gasps MM, "DAMN IT TO HELL!"
IceNine covers Matango, but the count is broken up by Omegadawn. Masked Man
jumps out of his chair trying to scream as Omega blocks a sidekick by Nine
and throws him into the air planting him with a powerbomb. Omega pulls Nine
up by his hair giving the "end sign" by dragging his thumb across his
throat. He then lifts Nine in the air dropping him into the "Omegabomb" to
the roar of the crowd.
"Yeah," whispers MM, "What the hell? Go for the pin, damn it!"
"He's going after a TABLE!"
Revelations yells as Omegadawn climbs to the floor and pulls a table out
from under the ring. He then pulls another out and stacks one on top of the
other. In the ring Matango is stirring again, but Nine is motionless.
Omega then stands on the apron and throws his arms in the air. Suddenly,
both tables become consumed by fire and he points to Nine.
"."
"What?" Revelations looks over at MM, who is holding his throat and can't
speak, "finally, took long enough."
Omega goes to grab IceNine, but Tango jumps up trying to tackle him. Omega
picks him up throwing him over his shoulder, but Tango hooks him and levels
him with a "Mushroom." The crowd explodes as the tables continue to burn
and Tango drapes an arm over Omega while a fan dressed in a hooded coat
jumps over the guardrail.
"One!" yells Revelations for MM, "Two! What the!"
The fan pulls the referee out of the ring and punches him in the head. He
then throws him into the ringpost and climbs into the ring. Taking off the
hood, Zombie Jr stands in the ring with a devilish look in his eyes.
Matango jumps up clobbering him with a clothesline, but is then blasted by
an IceNine chairshot.
"This isn't right!"
Revelations' shouts fall deaf over the roaring boos of the crowd, as Nine
keeps bashing Tango over and over with the chair and Jr turns full wolf-form
and gores Omegadawn with a vicious claw shot as he gets to his feet.
Wolfman runs out, but is instantly nailed by Aleyah from the side entrance
to the Arena and a giant spear gun. She continues to shoot him over and
over pinning him to the wall of the entrance stage. Even in his full
wolf-form he can't break free.
Masked Man jumps from his seat and climbs into the ring, but is taken out by
IceNine and a chairshot. Nine then gives him a Thermal Death Drop as Jr
chokeslams Revelations through the announcer table. Nine then nails Omega
in the back with a chair as he tries to pull himself up in the corner.
Nightmare runs out with a barbwire bat, nailing Aleyah on the way, but doesn
't last long against both IceNine and a werewolf Zombie Jr. The two beat
him down and then spike powerbomb him into the center of the ring. They
then pile him on top of Matango and grab Omegadawn delivering a devastating
double brainbuster to him.
Cathy then steps out on the stage, but Peabody Adams is trying to hold her
back. She pushes him away and runs down to ringside climbing into the ring.
Jr blocks her punch attempt and then throws her to the ground. The crowd is
throwing anything they can get their hands on into the ring at this point.
Nine grabs the microphone and hands it to Jr.
"What's the matter, mom? You don't like your little boy now? We're on top
of the world! WE run this place, not Dad, but US!"
Jr drags Cathy to the corner by her neck and pushes her face into the
turnbuckle.
"Don't worry though MOM, I'm not going to hurt you."
"Nine," Cathy says grabbing the microphone, "Nine, why do this? You're not
like this Nine!"
"You're wrong, Cathy," says IceNine taking the microphone and standing on
the turnbuckle over her, "This is EXACTLY the game I play! Jr was right
though, he's not going to hurt you, but I AM!"
IceNine grabs Cathy lifting her up and then dives off the turnbuckle
powerbombing her through the flaming tables at ringside. The crowd actually
starts screaming "holy shit" and Jr turns back into wolf-form attacking the
fallen superstars in the ring with Aleyah.
"NZWA," IceNine says standing amongst the flaming remains of the table and
Cathy's motionless body,
"WELCOME TO THE NEW ICE-AGE!"
