I am, as always, Tim Dross, and I'm coming at you on the back of another exciting and controversial weekend. Perhaps the biggest news I have for you today is the announcement of the final matches for IIWF Ring Wars, which is now less than two weeks away! Plus, I'll be bringing you: - results and comments from Saturday's card - all the usual trash talk, including a special interview with Dan "Flash" Kauffman - the latest singles and tag team rankings - a look forward to tomorrow night's Midweek Mayhem and more. So let's get to it! IIWF Saturday Night - 15 June 1996 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Another great night of wrestling entertainment went down in the IIWF Coliseum on Saturday night, and a jam-packed capacity crowd loved every minute of it. Let's run down the results, and get some reaction from the participants: - STUNT TEAM USA bested the unpredictable ALPHABET BOYS in a rematch of their earlier encounter. - ROBSKI defeated FISTO FLASH by reversed decision. Fisto had pinned Robski after illegal use of his uncovered iron fist, but thanks to the intervention of Casey James and the Man Of Steel, the decision was reversed. - FLARE & BLACKJACK HALEY bested CASEY JAMES & MAN OF STEEL in tag team action. - DAN KAUFFMAN beat "SPOTLIGHT" BILLY SHAKESPEARE by disqualification when Moondust came to ringside and threw some powder in Kauffman's eyes. It was feared that the powder might have done some permanent damage to Dan's eyes, but thankfully he's now fine. We'll have Dan Kauffman in the studio later on for a special interview. - In the main event, the SUBWAY PSYCHO pinned DEATHBRINGER after a very hard-fought match that could have gone either way. The Psycho had a short note delivered to the IIWF's offices by a vagrant man who announced himself as "Mench". And a charming little toadie he was too. Here's the note: +-- I trust my assistant has successfully delivered this message to the proper people. This is on open letter to all those involved with IIWF. Are you starting to comprehend my determination yet? Deathbringer was one of the most formidable opponents I have ever faced, and what happened? A clean, decisive pin. Has anyone seen Deathbringer pinned like that before? Tell me when, where, and who to fight next, and I'll be there. I have no more time to be wasted with all the usual banter. I'll let my actions in the ring do my talking! The next IIWF World Champion The Subway Psycho +-- Plus we were also treated to a special interview with the Psycho's opponent at Ring Wars, IIWF Champion, the Outlaw, who refused to give too much away about his situation as a Horseman. IIWF Midweek Mayhem - 19 June 1996 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tomorrow night's card looks to be a hot one, too! Here's the lineup: Tiger Claw vs. "Nifty" Ned Norton Expect Tiger Claw to demolish Norton pretty fast in this one. I mean, Brian Lau does: [SCENE: Kenny Tanaka standing in a locker room with Brian Lau and Tiger Claw, who is kneeling in front of a small sculpture, and is wearing a loop of yellow cord around his head.] Kenny: Hello, folks, this is Kenny Tanaka coming to you with an interview with Brian Lau... But first, I've heard that Tim Dross recently used the word "great" to describe me in a past report... It's nice to finally get some respect in the IIWF... Anyway, Brian, can you tell us about Tiger Claw's new focus? Brian: Of course... Tiger Claw has gone back to his roots... Before, he was so wrapped up in punishing opponents, and this was foremost in his mind... This was what partially led to his defeat at the hands of Subway Psycho... Now, he concentrates on victory... Cameraman, get a closeup of this... [Camera zooms in on the sculpture Tiger Claw kneels in front of. It is of a house, and a candle burns at the base. In front of the house is a bowl, and in the bowl lies a few bananas.] Brian: This is the Spring House... It's quite a powerful icon in Thai boxing. It is said that if a fighter puts a sacrifice into the bowl in front of the house, powerful spirits will enter the house and grant the fighter power of victory... Not that he needs it for his next matchup... Ned Norton? Who the hell is he? Kenny: I hear he's "Nifty"... Brian: Sure thing... Ned Norton, it's funny... You bear quite a resemblance to Hakiro Matsuoko... The resemblance lies in the fact that you'll be the pathetic loser to be humiliated by Tiger Claw in the ring... Even though Tiger Claw respects the ways of ancient Thai Boxing, he doesn't need the powers of this icon. However, it's a matter of respect. This is not to say that he will be slacking in this next matchup... He will be as focused as when he fights Matsuoko... Norton, you are in for quite the ride... You see this cord around Tiger Claw's head? That's a symbol of respect for his art and dojo... Do you think that he's going to give less than his best when the reputation of his life's work is on the line? I Hope not... Kenny: Well, there you have it... The new, more focused Tiger Claw... He was dangerous before, but with this new attitude, who knows what heights he may reach? This is Kenny Tanaka for Brian Lau and Tiger Claw saying So long! [Fade] Will this new focus really bring us a new Tiger Claw? We'll get our first indication tomorrow night. Fisto Flash vs. Casey James There's no love lost between these two individuals, particularly after Casey effectively cost Fisto his ill-gotten victory on Saturday night. We'll be getting words from Casey live tomorrow night, but Fisto can't wait to get this off his chest: [SCENE: The Stone Mansion.] Robo Stone: JOBBER of Steel! S***HEAD James! You've messed with the WRONG man. HA! HA! HA! Fisto Flash: Man of Steel, I've beaten you before. BADLY! Just because you can't take the HEAT of the IIWF, it don't mean you gotta cry about it. Whitebread James, I don't think you understand who you're messin' with. I AM the iron destroyer. I AM the most brutal wrestler of ALL time. I AM FISTO FLASH! I beat Robski on Saturday like no man had ever been BEAT before! Yet, I didn't win the match because you interfered. Robski has been teamed up with Fisto Flash to DESTROY the so-called American super-heroes. Man of Steel, you're nothin' but a jobber. Whitebread James: Yeah, you're a hero: A HERO SANDWICH!!!!!!! And I'm just gonna feed you a knuckle to go with it. Robo Stone: Hey, Fisto, that Robski guy ain't that bad a wrestler. Fisto Flash: I beat Robski. But he was more of a challenge than the Jobber of Straw. Robski's in a better position than the super-heroes. Because he will DEFINITELY win. Robo Stone: How are you so sure? The heroes ARE good tag team wrestlers... Fisto Flash: Because I am his partner. I will make a truce with Robski for JUST this time. It doesn't mean I like 'im, I just like how he beats people up. Robo Stone: That's JUST...TOO...BAD...for the heroes. HA! HA! HA! [Fade] Things could get ugly tomorrow night. Prince of Darkness vs. Brad "Bodybag" Kinder Brad Kinder hasn't seen much ring action lately, and you can bet that when he steps between the ropes against the Prince of Darkness, it'll be all business... as usual: [SCENE: Bodybag stands alone in the Arizona desert. He has a stone cold look on his face] "I've had a lot on my mind lately - Outlaw, Blackjack Haley, IIWF Ring Wars, and my upcoming match with the Prince of Darkness at Midweek Mayhem. First off, Outlaw, the Horsemen were the ones that helped you get that belt, and we're going to help you keep it, whether you like or you don't. That IIWF championship is our most prized possession and in no way are we going to let it just slip away from us without a fight. I believe I speak for the other Horsemen when I say that you are the cornerstone of our elite stable." "Next, Mr. Haley, the newest member of the Horsemen. Blackjack has shown us all a willingness to work and be an integral part of what we aim to acheive. I want to welcome Blackjack to the Horsemen and let him know that he is important to what the Horsemen are all about. The match with he and Flare vs. Man of Stale and Stalebread James is just a warm-up for what he's gonna do to all of the little fairies here in the IIWF." "IIWF Ring Wars - I wait with eagerness to find out who my opponent will be. I will take on and defeat anyone that wants a piece of me. I've proved myself over and over again, so bring your best if you want to take me on." "Prince of Darkness, you're a newcomer to the IIWF, and it's probably true that many people may have a little fear for you. I, for one, have NO fear of you, and in fact, I laugh at you and your foolish persona. PoD, you don't stand a damn chance at me at Midweek Mayhem. Be prepared to feel the wrath of the BodyBag." [Screen fades] With Flare and Haley at ringside, and maybe even the IIWF Champion, I wouldn't bet against Kinder in this one. However, the Prince Of Darkness is confident that victory will be his. And he'll have a little surprise for Kinder afterwards: [SCENE: Prince of Darkness is standing in a hospital morgue.] POD: Life..........once full and alive.............now just lie here..........slabs of rotting flesh!! Brad Kinder..........."The Bodybag"! A fitting name. In fact............... [POD holds up a fresh, new bodybag with matching tags] This one will be yours to keep..... FOREVER! [Fade] Moondust vs. Venusian Death Cell What a bizarre match this one will be. Moondust has apparently gone into hiding - I wonder whether he's actually training, or whether he's found some more productive leisure pursuit, like trying to avoid Dan "Flash" Kauffman. Either way, there'll be nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide when he steps in the ring against the newest member of Josey Wales' posse, the Venusian Death Cell. Joe Latta vs. Deathbringer Possibly the stand-out match on this card is the epic battle between Joe Latta and Deathbringer. After his loss on Saturday, the Deathbringer will be in no mood for messing around tomorrow night, and I have a feeling the unfocussed Latta is going to end up six feet under in this one. IIWF INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Hakiro Matsuoko vs. Robski Hakiro is out to prove one thing: that he's a worthy champion. If he comes through this match with flying colours, he'll be ready to face Tiger Claw at Ring Wars. Let's get comments from the Angel of the Sun: [SCENE: Hakiro Matsuoko's dojo in Japan, it is late into the night. A few laterns light the dojo. The sound of wood pounding against flesh can be heard. As the camera moves throught the dojo, we can see Hakiro working on a hard wooden board with six "arms", he is striking them each with incredible force and precision.] HM: This is the way that made me. Going beyond pain, focus. I went to the old Shaolin Temple where I first learned the martial arts as a child, on that journey through the peaks, I had a vision. Tiger Claw, you and I are destined to face each other. Fate has throuwn us together in this federation. You will get your shot at me. I want no interference, I have demanded a cage match. This will be our last encounter. The best man will win, make no doubt about it. Robski, you are my opponent this week. Heed my words: your hate for people will consume you and lead to your demise. But, not before The Angel strikes you down with the power of my ancestors. Venusian Death Cell, you and yor new found manager, want a rematch? You shall get one. Tiger Claw, I am not a paper champion. I fight all comers. You are not the only one taking on the best. I am too." [With that, Hakiro strikes the oak workout board, with a flurry of strikes he shatters all of the appendages, leaving them broken on the floor. Fade] As for Robski - well, he's probably off somewhere defacing the American flag. That guy just disgusts me. SPECIAL INTERVIEW: Dan "Flash" Kauffman ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting with Dan Kauffman in his lovely home. He was keen to furnish me with all his latest news - let's go to the interview: [SCENE: Tim Dross has travelled to the Hagerstown estate of Dan "Flash" Kauffman, and is sitting down with him in the now-familiar living room.] TD: First of all, I'd like to commend you for the terrific battle you had with Billy Shakespeare on Saturday. That match went back and forth like there was no tommorow! DK: Yeah, I wasn't sure if it would ever end. Shakespeare brought everything he had to the table, and I have to commend him as well for the effort he brought forth. That was one match I actually enjoyed... and you know I haven't been enjoying much recently. TD: No, you've definetly got your hands full. However, Moondust interjected himself, and to be honest, _gave_ you the win... DK: And I'm not at all happy with that either. Shakespeare, I think we both know that Moondust threw the dust in my eyes strictly so I would defeat you by DQ. I have NOTHING in common with Moondust, and believe me, Moonie will have to answer to his actions in the future... and he won't be able to survive the consequences! Shakespeare, if you need help with Moondust, just call me up, and I'll help you kick Moonies ass clear across the arena! TD: I'm not entirely convinced that you didn't use Moondust as an ally during the match... when Billy was distracted, you suplexed him on the concrete! DK: One word for you, Dross... Focus. Shakespeare did NOT have to be occupied with Moonie during the match. When in the heat of battle, if an opponent allows himself to be distracted, it is a rule to take advantage of that distraction. That's what I did. There was nothing wrong with my actions in that instance. TD: Okay, fair enough. Now I'll hit on a topic that bears a lot of relavence to you. Deathbringer. DK: [pauses for a moment to collect his thought] Yes, Deathbringer. [pauses again] You know, throughout my career, I've always been the one to approach things with a clear head and good logic. But whenever I listen to 'Bringer's words, they make much more sense than my own. It's frustrating in a way... I've been overmatched in the ring before, and came out on top. But never has my conscience and moral beliefs been brought into question. And now they obviously have. TD: So you admit that you've been in the wrong sometimes? DK: Oh I've been in the wrong numerous times. But everyone, at some point, makes big mistakes that they regret. I haven't had a major mistake so far within my wrestling career. But it's nagging me that I'm taking this Deathbringer match at Ring Wars completely wrong. Deathbringer, tis true that you did not cost Latta his match on Wednesday... and I still haven't been able to find Latta. Tis true I am a mortal that makes his flaws and lives by them. TD: Is Deathbringer's wise comments eating away on you? DK: I don't know yet. Deathbringer, some of my comments over the past weeks have been made in haste, as I'm sure some of my future comments will be made in haste. That's caused by emotion. It can be a double-edge sword. Do not claim me as less of a mortal because I react with emotion. Every mortal in this world we live in has their emotions take over at points. If I react with emotion, it is only because that is the natural mortal way of reacting to circumstances. TD: So you head into Ring Wars with this match against Deathbringer. Any further thoughts? DK: One more thing. Bringer, you've got Latta on Wednesday. I hope Latta is ready... But I know deep down that he will not be. Accept Latta's faults as a mortal's faults, and realize that inside Latta's coverings lies a good person with a good soul. Deathbringer, you will hear from me again, as I'm sure I will hear from you again. I continue my learning experience, and come Ring Wars, all the mental questions and doubts will become secondary, and I will step into the ring for the biggest challenge of my career. You can doubt my inner soul, but do not doubt my drive. That is all. TD: Well, it seems as if Dan Kauffman is finally beginning to understand the ways of Deathbringer. Will it be enough for Kauffman to survive? That is the question that will be answered at Ring Wars! [Fade] Trash Talk ~~~~~~~~~~ Let's go straight to comments from the Senator: [SCENE: The office of The Senator. We see the Senator sitting at his desk facing the camera. He is grinning like the old master that he is. As the music of taps is playing in the background The Senator speaks.] The Senator: Well, friends, there are a few things that need to be addressed here tonight. First of all High Velocity, who by the way are not here tonight with me, are about to sign a series of matches that should stun the world of wrestling. My boys have been training in the gym and watching old films of themselves in the IIWF and in another federation. The tapes of matches that included them and opponents who have been, and continue to be, a thorn in their side. High Velocity came here to the IIWF for one thing and one thing only. Second my search for a replacement for Altair has covered the world. I am currently in contract talks with a man who could be the answer to one of The Drifters' comments. Hopefully, soon I will be able to bring him to the IIWF. Speaking of the Drifters, gentlemen, and Mr. Wales, we have fought long and hard over the past few weeks here in the IIWF. Mr. Wales, you have seen just the beginning of what I and my team are able to do. You have seen and felt what the orange fireball can do to your face. I gave you a brief look at the purple fireball, you have yet to feel it in action. Beware Mr. Wales I have come to the IIWF for only one thing, The Drifters careers. [Fade] Robski wishes to tell us all a little bit about his background. Let's go to his special report: [SCENE: Robski is standoing outside a large stately home, he looks at the camera] Robski: Welcome everyone, this is Buckleigh hall, my ancestral home, it is situated in 1,000 acres of prime English countryside just outside Ludlow. My father, the Duke of Radford owns this house as have his ancestors for ten generations. [the camera cuts to a scene of Robski and Jasmine horse riding, Robski voices over] You know I love horse riding, even more than Jasmine riding (laughs), and we love to go fox-hunting, to be there at the kill is the most exhilarating experience I know. [there are more scenes of them riding horses over the countryside] What I love about this is the fact I can go where I want and do what I want, no-one orders me about. [the camera then shows panoramic views of the countryside] How can anyone not love England when you have countryside like that, and how can the working classes stand to live their humdrum lives in their humdrum slums, I do not know. [It is now inside a room inside the house, it has a ring and various mats on the floor.] This is my wrestling room, I was trained by the finest money can buy, when I decided to wrestle papa converted this old study for me and hired some of the all time great, I worked in here for 8 hours a day five days a week unitl I got my lucky break, wrestling with the likes of Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks in Amx crabtree's all star promotions. [he crosses over to the ring] I was there for twelve years and wreslted with Darren Matthews, Dave Smith, Luke McMasters and Fit Finlay. [he points to a poster on the wall with his name at the top of the Bill] Yet when the American talent scouts came over, I was overlooked, my career went into free-fall, and I struggled for years, until I turned up here. [Robski is in a large room, Max and Jasmine are also there] Now with the aid of my agent, Max Clifford [Clifford raises his brandy glass], and my girlfriend Jasmine [she nods] I am here to win, and win I will. [Robski crosses to the cabinet, pours a large brandy, and picks up a massive cigar, he bites the end off, spits it on the carpet, motions to Jasmine, who picks the butt up, he lights up, as smoke billows into the air, he comments] I am here to win titles, to hold gold and assert the surperiority of all that is English, all of THIS, THIS IS WHAT I AM FIGHTING FOR, THIS IS CLASS. [he points to pictures of old masters, and fine furniture and the lavish splendour that is this house] I will not disgrace myself, I WILL NOT DISGRACE MY COUNTRY. [Fade] Robski: proud man or thug? We'll find out in the rings... Things are definitely afoot with the "Outlaw" Josey Wales. He claims to be building up a stable that will drastically alter the balance of power in the IIWF. We've already heard about him taking the Venusian Death Cell under his wing, but locker-room rumours persist that there may be more stable-mates to come. In search of answers, I went to meet Wales: [SCENE: Tim Dross visits with Josey Wales at his New Mexico ranch.] TD: Mr. Wales, I want to talk to you about the bombshell you dropped on the IIWF the last time we talked. JW: [Takes a slow drag on his cigar] That's only the beginning, Tim. TD: Do you mean to imply that you are not only taking VDC under your wing but there may be others? JW: Let's just say that there will be a HUGE shift in the balance of power in the IIWF. TD: What's your plan, Wales? Who else do you have? JW: Do I look like a stupid man? I like to consider myself a bit of a card player. I've always said that poker is an honest trade. Only fouls buck the tiger, the odds are all on the house. I'm not ready to show my hand just yet. TD: People bluff in poker too. [Wales exhales his smoke for the first time in the interview and stares straight through Dross] JW: Do I look like I'm bluffing Dross? There are those who don't see eye to eye with me and my boys. Let them be warned... the Posse is coming for you! [Fade] The plot thickens. I'm still on the case, folks, and I'll get to the bottom of this one. Newcomers Update ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A few contracts that were expected to be approved without a hitch fell through at the last second - a couple of potential signings apparently didn't make the IIWF grade. Therefore, the singles roster has been officially reopened by the IIWF President, and the first man to sign on the dotted line is the lunatic, Magus. Let's take a look at his stats: MAGUS Weight: 303 lbs Height: 6'7" Origin: unknown Apperance: Muscular, big eyes, very intimidating Theme music: Sounds like Sid's WWF music Orientation: Heel Five favourite moves: - chokeslam - powerbomb - brainbuster - chinlock - legdrop Finisher: Sleeper hold [Handler: Jacob Gerry (jgerry@primenet.com)] We'll see Magus debut soon.
