[Fade up on scenes from Wednesday night's Midweek Mayhem. Dan Kauffman wrestles Magus, and there is a commotion as the Outlaw J.W. Hardin and Cadaver make their way down to the ring. Voice over:] TD: Their reign of terror continues unabated. Two men hold the IIWF to ransom, and even the leader of the "forces of light", Dan Kauffman, was to suffer a terrible fate at the hands of the Outlaw J.W. Hardin and Cadaver on Wednesday Night. [Shots of the ring surrounded by Hardin's allies, and Kauffman trying to escape, only to be dragged down by the horde.] Incarcerated at ringside by a malodorous mob, with his allies distracted in the locker room, Kauffman succumbed to the insurmountable odds, and was sentenced... to death. [Footage of Kauffman slammed into the casket by Cadaver from various angles.] Not even Dan Kauffman can stop the march of the Outlaw and Cadaver, who has broken his sinister silence with words full of forboding and menace: [Cut to a segment from the interview first shown on Wednesday night; Cadaver stands in the gloom near the dying embers of a campfire, at which is seated the silent figure of the Outlaw J.W. Hardin.] CADAVER: And that is why the one who heralds the apocalypse returns to haunt you, Deathbringer, just as the night follows the day. Your dark light must be extinguished; the torch must be passed on. That which has come from nothing must return to nothing. The darkness presses onwards, relentlessly ever onwards, and nothing can withstand its silent onslaught. The Cadaver is here, Deathbringer. The night draws in. [Cadaver, with a single movement, stamps out the last dying embers of the fire, suddenly throwing the scene into the sharp relief of silhouette.] Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust... [Cut to scenes of Deathbringer, standing without his IIWF Championship belt. Voice over:] TD: Tonight, we'll hear from Deathbringer as the final battle lines are drawn. The war awaits.

We're in the beautiful state of Utah in preparation for tomorrow night's huge event live from the Delta Centre in Salt Lake City, and we're now only eight days away from IIWF Ring Wars II! The lineup for the most anticipated IIWF event to date is now finalised, and we'll be talking about that a whole lot more later on. Also in today's report: - a complete rundown on all the events of Wednesday's Midweek Mayhem - a look ahead to tomorrow night's staggering lineup - comments from "Spotlight" Billy Shakespeare, who answers the allegations levelled at him by "Badboy" Randy Acorn earlier this week and more. So let's get straight to it! IIWF Midweek Mayhem - 2 October 1996 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A capacity crowd of more than thirty thousand fans packed the Las Vegas Silver Bowl on Wednesday night, as more events unfolded on Midweek Mayhem. Here's what happened: 1. The ARABIAN KNIGHTS defeated STUNT TEAM USA in the opening encounter of the evening, subjecting Steve Forget to the Jihad while new ally, "Painbringer" Billy Sexton, distracted Ron Fire on the outside. The Grand Vizier and Stunt Team's manager, the "Wizard" Belgarath McEndeavour, were also engaged in some very heated discussions during the match. Let's hear from the Knights now: [SCENE: Outside the arena, a black limousine pulls in and the Grand Vizier, manager of the Arabian Knights, gets out. Tim Dross moves across to talk to him] Vizier: Mr Dross, so nice to see you again. I was expecting you. TD: How? Vizier: Let me guess... You want to talk to me about the events that occurred at this week's Midweek Mayhem. TD: Yes, but.. Vizier: Well, as you saw, the Arabian Knights scored yet another comprehensive victory, this time over STUSA. I can't see how they are going to stand any chance of winning the tag team championship. They are simply not good enough. TD: What.. Vizier: Well, Billy Sexton only came down to the ringside to discuss a few points of our alliance. It's not my fault if members of opposition take it upon themselves to get into an argument with him, they should concentrate on what is going on in the ring. TD: Well... Vizier: You mean the altercation that took place later that night between Omar and Pain Inc. Omar just went down to the ringside to check on our opponents for the Ring Wars II free-for-all, The Aces of the Deep. Did he interfere in the match, did he say anything to anyone? No, but still Pain Inc. took it upon themselves to insult and then attack him. Now they have gotten him angry, and that is not a position that I would like to find myself in.. And while we are on the topic of Pain Inc., I have a question for their manager... Mr Mic, I was wondering if there is any truth in the rumours, though I do not believe them myself, that you discovered Pain Inc. working as a couple of bouncers at one of those Transvestite clubs that Jakarta is so well known for, whilst on the lookout for -- how do you Americans say -- ah yes, a piece of action. TD: What about... Vizier: Sorry, I have to go now. Nice talking to you again, Mr. Dross. [The Vizier walks into the arena.] TD : Er... oh. [Fade] 2. HAKIRO MATSUOKO pinned THE PUNSTER following the Butsumetsu Drop, but not before the witty wordsmith had been attacked by Prisoner #109, who executed the Prisoner Execution mandible claw on the outside before rolling the prone Punster back into the ring, where Hakiro hit his spectacular finisher. 3. IIWF Cruiserweight Champion "SPOTLIGHT" BILLY SHAKESPEARE made short work of EL SUPER GECKO, cruising to victory with the Curtain Call backflip cross bodyblock. 4. Despite attacking his opponent from behind at the start of the match, PRISONER #109 was defeated by "QUICKSTRIKE" CHRIS QUIGLEY, forced to submit to the Quickstriker scorpion deathlock. 5. IIWF Intercontinental Champion TIGER CLAW defeated "NUCLEAR" JOHN BOMBER with the Golden Tiger Strike, watched from the aisle by Don Antonio. Thanks to the quick response of a security team, a brawl between the two rivals was prevented. 6. PAIN INC. trapped Peter "Piranha" Pouls in the Simply Pain spike powerbomb to ensure victory over the ACES OF THE DEEP. After the match, Omar of the Arabian Knights came down to the ring and swatted both Morningstar and Hellraiser out of the way like flies. However, the unflappable Mr. Mic is a tough man to keep down: [SCENE: Arlington Stadium, home of baseball's Texas Rangers. Mr.Mic is seen in his Armani suit and sunglasses. Pain Inc. are seen behind him performing karate.] MM: YES!!! I never thought I'd say this but THANK YOU Prez Spreadbury -- finally my Pain Inc. are starting to get the recognition they deserve. If the rest of you peons will notice my boys have passed the High Plains Drifters and are now the #2 contenders to the Armed Forces. Hell..[Hellraiser stops and looks at Mr.Mic] Oh, sorry big guy I wasn't talking to you I was just speaking to the losers in the IIWF. [Hellraiser nods and continues performing karate] What I was saying is I should have demanded a title shot against the Forces...I probably would have gotten it. I mean great tag-team, great manager [he smiles]. Let's look back at Wednesday Night. Ya know for a place known for its fortunes the Aces of the Deep sure didn't break the bank, in fact the only thing broken boys were your spirit, your hearts and your backs....courtesy of Pain Inc ha ha ha. Now, everyone has been asking me about that little stunt Omar pulled after the match. Obviously, the Prince and the Brassier have become chicken and smart in the same week...they didn't come down to ringside!!!!!! They don't have the guts to face me or my Pain Inc, which saves them some hospital bills in the future!!! As for Hellraiser, sure he couldn't damage Omar...he hit him in the head...you know the old saying no sense, no feeling...Omar's so stupid, if he had another brain cell it'd be lonely..ha ha ha ha. Besides it's real easy for Moron to come down and harass my boys after the match isn't it!!!!! Don't think we've forgotten that 7-11 Knights in fact Omar, my Hellraiser has something for you... [Mr.Mic waves his arm and a 600 lb bull comes charging out from one of the dugouts. Hellraiser's eyes widen as he charges the bull! He grabs the bull by the horns and flips it over, frequently bodyslamming the poor animal until it doesn't move any more..] See, Omar, you too will end up a lifeless carcass like the bull -- the only difference is that even while living the bull serves a purpose....you however DO NOT!!!! Now for the really important stuff...Ring Wars II....My Pain Inc. vs. The Zodiac Connection in a Texas Bullrope Steel Cage Match...a match where subjecting your opponent to pain is the object. Zodiac Connection you live signed up for the beating of your lives losers and I'll prove it with a little help from my friends from the American Leaque West Champion Texas Rangers Juan Gonzales and Mickey Tettelton both of whom are very very strong home-run hitters. [Mr.Mic hands both Juan and Mickey Texas Bullropes in the shape of bats. Hellraiser and Morningstar remove their chain mail masks. The ballplayers load up and start pounding Pain Inc with the bullrope bats opening each of them up. The ballplayers stop after about 15 minutes. Pain Inc. are both smiling, neither of them is blinking, and both wrestlers' faces are covered with blood.] Can you say impressive ladies and gentlemen? I knew you couldn't!!! We're in Texas, my Pain Inc. have been pummelled by Texas Bullropes from 2 of baseball's heaviest hitters and they LIKE IT!!! Zodiac Connection, Oct 12 in Indianapolis I've read your horrorscopes and they say: firstly, Your lucky number is 9-1-1 -- they say you'll use it!!! Secondly, Friday will be your lucky day.....BECAUSE SATURDAY WILL BE YOUR DAY TO SUFFER!!!! And lastly, you will receive a large sum of money on Monday...just to clarify, boys, it's a life insurance claim for your manager. HA HA HA HA....RING WARS II, INDIANAPOLIS, ZODIAC CONNECTION -- FORGET MUHHAMMED ALI'S ROPE-A-DOPE...WE PLAN ON ROPIN' A FEW DOPES OF OUR OWN. [He turns to Pain Inc still covered with blood] Morningstar, Hellraiser -- are you guys gonna let those ballplayers get away with that?! [Pain Inc. scream and run into the dugout hall looking for Gonzalez and Tettelton. Mr.Mic gives a sly smile to the camera, puts on his sunglasses and walks away all the while laughing out loud. Fade] What a disgusting display. I'm sure the ASPCA will have something to say about that. 7. DAN KAUFFMAN defeated MAGUS with his "Powerplant" spinebuster, but p paid a terrible price as he was set about by the Outlaw J.W. Hardin, Cadaver, and their evil horde, attacking him and entombing him in a casket at ringside. 8. "ENIGMA" TAKEZO MUSASHI defeated the PRINCE OF DARKNESS with the Starsault Press at the climax of a fiercely contested match, marred by the interference of hated enemy, Hakiro Matsuoko and Tiger Claw. Thankfully, however, the White Phoenix came down to the ring to even up the score, and these four men will go up against one another tomorrow night in the Delta Centre! 9. IIWF World Tag Team Champions the ARMED FORCES hung onto their titles by the skin of their teeth, defeating DON ANTONIO & VINNY CAPPICOLA by disqualification, thanks to the interference of the High Plains Drifters. The Don had NavCom in the Sicilian Death Grip when Pale and Easy attacked DefCon at ringside, prompting the referee to disqualify the Family, who should have become the IIWF tag champs right there. 10. The SUBWAY PSYCHO defeated "BADBOY" RANDY ACORN with the De-railer, and must have had eyes in the back of his head to avoid the attack of nemesis Tiger Claw, who tried to nail him with the People's Champion trophy stolen from its rightful owner a month ago, thanks to the Outlaw. The Psycho reclaimed both the trophy, and his rightful place as the true People's Champion of the IIWF. 11. THE SANDMAN & JOE LATTA defeated ARCHANGEL & MARTY WARNETT thanks to the combined interference of Simon Lebec and the Outlaw J.W. Hardin. Lebec and Warnett got into a brawl in the aisle, leaving Archangel to fend for himself, and Hardin nailed the Deacon on the outside, causing the Archangel to lose his focus -- a loss he paid for with defeat at the hands of Joe Latta's Shotgun Suplex. It seems that nobody is safe from the threat of the Outlaw J.W. Hardin and his evil schemes. Will his reign of terror be ended by Deathbringer at Ring Wars II? Let's hope so. Special Interview: "Spotlight" Billy Shakespeare ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In our last report "Badboy" Randy Acorn introduced us to a young woman who made accusations that Billy Shakespeare made her promises, then broke her heart. Mr. Shakespeare asked me for a special interview to explain this matter. [Cut to Dross interviewing Shakespeare in a studio setting. Despite his sunglasses, it is obvious that Billy is suffering from lack of sleep.] TD: Billy, you asked me for a chance to address the allegations by one Samantha Lee. BS: Thank you Tim. As King Lear lamented "I am tied to the stake, and I must stand the course". Yes, I knew Samantha Lee. Yes, we went to school together. Yes, she is a painful memory from the past that I had hoped I had put behind me. [He pulls out the High School Yearbook. He flips through to the end where he finds a photo of Billy, Samantha, and a number of others] BS: Drama Club my Senior year. Yes, that's the two of us in the accompanying photo in that years production of 'Romeo and Juliet'. Yes, Tim, I did swear my love to her...ON STAGE! It was theatre, but some people blur the lines between the two realities. TD: Then this is just a case of misunderstanding. BS: I wish it only were, Tim. Being Born to Perform I knew that I would garner my share of jealous foes, as well as my share of obsessed fans. In Samantha I had both. [He flips through a few more pages to one that bears Ms. Lee's photo and a huge heart with "I love you to death" written inside.] BS: Look closely Tim, that smear at the bottom didn't come from a leaking red pen. TD: Blood?! BS: When it came time for Romeo to commit suicide for Juliet's love, Samantha became very confused when I didn't do it for real. She jumped up out of her coffin, brandishing a knife. While it made for an interesting end to the show, Samantha ended up taking her final bow in the 'Meadowlark Hill Home for the Disturbed'. TD: And now she is out. BS: I only hope she's cured. The fact that Randy knew she was there, and his obsession with wearing women's clothing, suggests to me that he too may have more than a passing familiarity with the facility. TD: Anything to add? BS: Only that while I may not deserve praising, I am not to be buried. I have suffered "the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune." You can't hide in the spotlight. I've never run from it, but Randy Acorn keeps avoiding his special guest appearance. TD: Thanks, Billy. [Cut back to Dross in the broadcast van.] There you have it, folks. As you would expect, Billy Shakespeare comes up smelling of roses, and sales of his ice cream bars are set to rise again! Acorn will pay dearly for dredging up -- and misrepresenting -- a past that should be left forgotten, and he'll pay next weekend in the Wargames match at Ring Wars II. IIWF Saturday Night - 5 October 1996 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coming at you live from the Delta Centre, Salt Lake City, Utah, tomorrow night's event promises some tremendous action. Let's run down the card in prospect, and it's possibly the best we've ever had: Casey "Blackheart" James vs. Jumpin' Jack [J] [D] Casey James has been doing more slandering than wrestling as of late, as his verbal attacks on the Man Of Steel continue. We'll see whether he's lost any of his fight when he takes on the absurd clown figure of Jumpin' Jack. The Zodiac Connection vs. Barnacle Brothers [J] [D] The Zodiac Connection are headed towards one tough challenge at Ring Wars II, going into a Texas Bullrope Steel Cage match against the dangerous Pain Inc., and they continue their preparations for that battle with a match against the seafaring Barnacle Brothers, just returned from a successful world tour of Finland. Let's get comments from the Zodiac Connection, and the man who seems to have something against the White Phoenix, the Deathmaster. However, folks, Deathmaster is _not_ a sanctioned competitor here in the IIWF, and he will not be arriving in this fed anytime soon: [SCENE: The Zodiac Connection and Deathmaster stand in the IIWF interview area.] Deathmaster: Only when you have experienced the Darkness that I have only then do you begin to appreciate the Light! You can't truly appreciate being good if you have never been bad! I have come to the IIWF not to pursue old enemies but to serve as a guide along the path of righteousness that my cousins have chosen. White Phenoix I do not ask you for forgiveness for what has happened bewteen us - I only ask that you serve as someone which Taurus and Scorpio can admire much as I have begun to. Now...Pain, Inc. - I hardly believe that you truly know the meaning of the word but anytime you would like to take Taurus and Scorpio...well who am I to deny you the opportunity for afuneral. Taurus: Before 1996 ends we want those world tag team belts around our waists and with this man on our side.... we are sure that is a possibility. Now we definitely would like to defuse the Atomic Destroyers and the Arabian Knights on our way to the top so IIWF promoters....do whatever you need to do to set it up! Scorpio: The big man is definitely right! We came here to serve as valiant warriors in the quest to make things right here in the IIWF. Anybody who doesn't believe in our objective....rest assured that you will pay the price! We want some matches NOW!!!! [Fade] Don Antonio vs. Prisoner #109 [D] The Don is still smarting from the DQ loss in Midweek that cost him and Vinny Cappicola the IIWF Tag Team Championships, but he's got his sights set primarily on Tiger Claw and the Intercontinental belt, which he'll be wrestling for at Ring Wars II. The unbalanced Prisoner #109 represents a test of his resolve and his nerve -- after all, it's hard to get into the ring and fight a psychopath whose next move could be just about anything. The Don will need his wits about him when he steps through the ropes tomorrow night. Robski vs. "Royalty of the Street" Sabin Figaro [D] Robski was the one who ignited the current explosion of speculation about just what has gotten into the Man Of Steel as of late, but since that bombshell, he's been strangely elusive and reticent to speak. Perhaps he believes that actions speak louder than words -- he'll get a great chance to prove that when he steps into the ring to face Sabin Figaro, who needs to pick himself up from the bottom of the rankings and start making a title challenge if he's going to be taken seriously here in the IIWF. The Sandman vs. Nick Name [J] [D] Nick Name is another newcomer here to the IIWF, and he'll have a tough test in his first match as he takes on the Sandman, whose evil deeds have been earning him a very hostile reaction from the fans as of late: [SCENE: The Sandman sitting in a throne with Victoria and PoD flanking him in similar seats. The room is dimmly lit by candles. Skulls are all scattered about the room simulating an audience.] TS: Stronger by the day and darker by the knight. The power of the heels is growing as Ring Wars II rapidly approaches. [The Sandman leans over and picks up a skull. He gazes at it while he speaks.] Legends of Knights are told through the eyes of the dead. I see massive armies building in anticipation for a war. War Games, the match beyond. The odds seem to be with the Blackheart team. [looks up at the camera] That's just the way I like it. I can't wait to squash the competition and place them in an eternal sleep. [He raises the skull above his head and crushes it with one hand.] Ashes to ashes and dust to dust. The lives of many depend on one night. One Knight will make the difference and change the whole course of the IIWF. The yin and yang battle will be taken to a new level and the spectrum of color will reach a solarization. [His eyes light up and the sceen flashes in a blinding white.] Once again the heavens meet hell. The infinite battle of dark versus light is metaphored into a match. Nick Name, are you ready to face a Dark Knight? Do you know what you're up against and who you're dealing with? We all have Knightmares and I'm your worst. I'll be that recurring dream that's accountable for restless nights. So when you wake up in a cold sweat, know that I am responsible and think about what I will do to you in the squared circle. You can't escape the clutches of a Knight. The sleeper is waiting............ And waiting I will be, until the games of war. Be ready......the Dream team is formed and I anticipate a wild Knight.............. [The candles blow out and the camera fades.] Otto "the Butcher" Verhoeven vs. Majestic Maurice McArthur [J] [D] Triple M surely represents easy pickings for Otto Verhoeven, and I bet he's losing sleep over having signed the contract, and thus condemned himself to a beating at the hands of the Teutonic terror. It'll take a miracle -- or "Quickstrike" Chris Quigley -- to save McArthur in this match. Fisto Flash vs. Mr. Damage Mr. Damage, the affiliate of the Senate, with whom Fisto Flash and his manager Robo Stone are waging a war at the moment, closed the open contract issued this week by Mr. Stone, and will face Fisto Flash tomorrow night. Robo must surely be aware that this smacks of a set-up -- Fisto is due to face his hated enemy, the man who stole his fist, the Hangman, at Ring Wars II next week, and you can bet that the Hangman will take every chance he gets trying to soften Fisto up before their big Lumberjack Match in the Hoosier Dome. Fisto, however, is as hard to soften up as his steel fist: [SCENE: Robo Stone and Fisto Flash stand in the IIWF interview area.] RS: Mr. Damage, my boy's beaten yo' *ss before, and he'll beat it AGAIN!!! FF: Only TIME will tell the future of Fisto Flash. Even I don't know where I'm headed. Will I be damaging Mr. Damage? Will I be hanging The Hangman? Or will I be putting Deathbringer to death and clawing Tiger Claw at the same time??? I'm just living my life day by day. But I WILL regain my pride, and I WILL regain my FIST, and I WILL, DEFINITELY, regain my title shot contention. 'Cause I feel NO pain. I have NO mercy. And I have the utmost respect for NOBODY!!! And as soon as I beat some punks above me in the rankings, ALL heck's gonna break loose!!! I'm makin' a challenge to Tiger Claw, Deathbringer, and Dan Kauffman. I'm challengin' in advance 'cause I'm SURE that after I MUTILATE The Hangman, I'll wreck the rankings AND its contenders. RS: Fisto Flash is on the prowl!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [Fisto Flash poses. Fade] Heavy Metal vs. Arabian Knights Robo Stone's tag team have the most impressive win/loss record in the IIWF's tag ranks, bar none; the only dent came with a loss to the High Plains Drifters last week. They'll be looking to keep up their impressive streak with a win over the Arabian Knights, who are headed into a match with the Aces of the Deep on Ring Wars II's Free For All. The Prince and Omar certainly know the meaning of that phrase, and Heavy Metal are a very impressive power partnership, too. Sparks are going to fly in this one, folks. Let's hear from the Steele twins: [SCENE: Robo Stone stands flanked by Heavy Metal in the IIWF interview area.] RS: Well, well, well. So my boys are back in action. I see that they're facin' the Arabian Knights. Well, Sinbad and Aladdin, I don't know who you think you are, but WE'RE the IIWF Tag-Team TOP, yes TOP, contenders. Atlas: NOTHIN' was on the line in our non-title match with the Armed Wimps!!! But we're gonna beat on some lower competition, like the Arabian Knights, Zodiac Connection, and The Family. We'll give you OTHER top contenders your chance. We'll give the Armed Losers their title defense. But come the day after Ring Wars Two; WHOEVER the tag-champs are gonna be better be watchin' their backs, 'cause HEAVY METAL's gonna be gunnin' for YOU!!! Apollo: JUST like my bro said!!! We're NUMBER ONE in the IIWF!!! All that stands between theory and fact is the gold around the waist of the Armed Dorks. But that's ALL gonna change soon. [Fade] "Quickstrike" Chris Quigley vs. "Badboy" Randy Acorn While Randy Acorn continues to spread lies about Billy Shakespeare, Chris Quigley might just catch him off-guard tomorrow night, and hand out another loss to an IIWF hopeful with his "Quickstriker" scorpion deathlock. There's no denying that Quigley is one of the brightest young stars of the IIWF at the moment, and he's looking forward to this week's Battle Lines Battle Royal immensely, seeing it as a way of catapulting himself right up into the stratosphere of IIWF superstars. Acorn, however, will be wanting to stop Quigley even walking out of the ring tomorrow night, let alone winning a dangerous Battle Royal this Wednesday. PINFALLS ONLY MATCH: Magus vs. Marty Warnett Magus challenged Marty Warnett to a match that can only end via pinfall -- submissions, countouts and disqualifications are all invalid, so you can expect a pretty wild encounter between these two competitors. Magus has been inconsistent throughout his IIWF career, hitting some great victories here and there, but never really coming into his own. Perhaps with a victory over the promising rookie Marty Warnett, who seems completely preoccupied with his hairdresser, Simon Lebec, Magus will be able to kickstart his rise up the rankings once more. Warnett, however, is also concerned with resuscitating his rise: [SCENE: a rundown old gym - several out of shape aspiring boxers pound the bags, lift weights, mooch around. The camera passes them by, eventually settling on a poorly-lit ring. Inside, Marty is grappling with a cruiserweight wrestler. After a minute's worth of technical move and counter-move, the two separate, the other wrestler to a corner, Marty to the camera.] MW: "You know, LeBec, with Ring Wars II coming up quicker than Eddie Van Halen's fret action, this is how I prepare for war. Forget trips to Newfoundland, forget distractions, I'm going to be at the peak of my abilities for my first, but not last, PPV bout here in the IIWF. LeBec, a cleaner handed me something after my bout with Magus. [reaches below ring and reveals a straitjacket] I know you'll try to weasel your way out of the inevitable ending of this war. Forget it, fool. As soon as you're beaten, this jacket goes on. The stips are simple - no DQ, no Countout, loser loses hair. Did you really think I've forgotten the other stips the Prez Man Dan had added? Believe me, you'll see a side of me the fans here in IIWF haven't yet seen, and you ain't gonna like it. Oh, and by the way, just think what having a bald pate did for Bruce Willis' career. But life goes on after the PPV - so far, I look at the IIWF and all I see going on is a bunch of cowardly, spineless sneak attacks going on, which, surprise, surprise, never get punished. Fools, if you beat me fair and square, I'll get up and give you respect. Otherwise, just forget it. Apart from that, we get braggerts about what they've done or are doing in other feds ... my first loyalty is to the IIWF. Not any other fed. I wrestle here and here alone, because Prez Man Dan was brave enough to take me on, and give me the opportunity to prove myself. I believe I have, and Ring Wars II is only the beginning of the Rocket Ride to the top. Hell, even Kauffman nearly turned, and look at the Punster - kidnapping a woman? Give me a break! Me and the Archangel faced Latta and the Sandman last Wednesday. Archangel, I just want to apologise for causing the loss, I should have stayed in the ring and got that STF on. I promise, next time we tag, if at all, things will be different. Believe me, Latta, you ain't the "Latta day warrior" without your cronies in the Syndicate, or should that be Cindy Kats? Lau, you claim to control the IIWF, but do you really? You have an IC champ with, at best, a modest win-loss record, Latta and James you've turned into mid card fighters, Matsuoko has been impressive in the ring, but with no momentum as regards titles. Do you hold the Tag titles? The World title? I really don't think so. I make no bones about it, right now the World title scene is crowded, I'm over the limit for the Cruiserweight title, I want that IC belt as my first milestone to the World belt. If I have to beat every single member of the Syndicate, I will. Any enemy of yours is a friend of mine. Psycho, it's good to see you back. You want the Syndicate in the ring, hey, you ain't the only one. The way I see it, on your own, you get tripled, even four teamed. If you want any help, somebody to look after your back, feel free to call the party line anytime. If you get the IC title before me, I'll raise your hand and be the first to call you champ ... and the first to ask for a bout. The fact is, you all know I'm better than my win loss record, look how many losses I've been caused by screwjob endings mainly because of you, LeBec. That ends next Saturday, at Ring Wars II. You want to interfere in my bouts? LeBec, you don't play with knives. You don't drink poison. You don't juggle hand grenades. And most importantly, you don't mess with the party maniac." [Marty then turns his back to the camera, yells "Whooooaaaa, I'm a free agent" and returns to the ring, where he and his sparring partner again lock up.] Subway Psycho & Man Of Steel vs. Billy Sexton vs. Simon Lebec The Subway Psycho has really created a buzz in the IIWF since his return last week, and this Saturday Night, he'll team with one of his Wargames partners, the beleaguered Man Of Steel, to face "Painbringer" Billy Sexton and "Showstopper" Simon Lebec in one of tomorrow night's big tag team encounters. It's unusual for somebody to steal the show away from the Psycho, but tomorrow night, all eyes will be on the masked Man Of Steel, as questions continue to go unanswered about his physical and mental health. Is he really a drug addict, an alcoholic who crashed his car while under the influence? Was his performance last Saturday Night in which he blatantly flouted the rules a warning of things to come? Not only will the fans be awaiting his next move, but so too will his Wargames teammates, for if they can't trust him, there'll be trouble in that double steel cage next week. Archangel vs. Outlaw J.W. Hardin The Archangel raised the ire of the Outlaw J.W. Hardin when he singled him out for judgement last week. Hardin lay low for a few days, and then struck on Wednesday, attacking Archangel's associate, the Deacon, and costing him the match. Now Archangel is out for revenge, and he'll be Hardin's last opponent before stepping into the ring to face IIWF World Heavyweight Champion Deathbringer at Ring Wars II next weekend. Archangel is no pushover -- at 7'3" and 400lbs, he's the largest wrestler in the IIWF, but Hardin is the meanest, and the most cunning. Don't be surprised to see his many cohorts, including the unwelcome Cadaver, making an appearance tomorrow night. Speaking of making an appearance, let's go to the Deacon: [SCENE: The Deacon sits in his office.] D: Brian Lau, I hope you accept my challenge. It will be a delight to put my Genesis Device on you. Outlaw, you are a fool. Challenging the Archangel before Ring Wars. Anything can happen in the IIWF. If you bring that freak, the Cadaver, with you, he'll face Judgement also. [The Archangel's face appears.] A: Joe Latta and the Sandman. Judgement Day is now. Prepare to be exorcised. [Fade] And the Outlaw J.W. Hardin has some comments for us, too: [SCENE: Outlaw J. W. Hardin stands alone in the IIWF interview area.] JWH: We're just one week away from the most cataclysmic night this world has ever known . . . a night when Ring Wars rock the night and the fires of hell burn in the souls of the IIWF's warriors. Deathbringer . . . that will be _your_ end, but I have a more pressing concern right now in the person of this Archangel. Where I come from, we've got a name for angels: bats! At Midweek Mayhem, Archangel felt the wrath of the bullrope, but at Saturday Night he will feel the full wrath of the Outlaw himself. Archangel, you call yourself the defender of the light and use my name in vain. Saturday night . . . I shall extinguish that light and my name will be all that you remember for the rest of eternity. For when the darkness covers the earth, you shall be buried in despair. As a friend of mine is fond of saying: Ashes to ashes . . . dust to dust. Hahahahahaha! [Fade] The White Phoenix & Takezo Musashi vs. Tiger Claw & Hakiro Matsuoko The main event on tomorrow night's card promises to be a match of the year candidate. Four martial arts experts in the ring together, fighting it out in tag team action. These four men are probably the most impressive high-flyers anywhere in this great sport, and tomorrow night, they'll all be battling it out just seven days before they face their many and varied challenges at Ring Wars II. The history between Matsuoko and the Enigma is well documented, while Claw prepares to defend his IC title against Don Antonio, and the White Phoenix readies himself for the carnage of Wargames. All four of these men have a lot to prove, but also a lot to lose. This is going to be a tremendous contest, and a great end to what promises to be a great event. Bear with us, folks... we'll be back after this quick word from our sponsors: [Fade. Cut to clips of a bunch of different women of different ages, looking depressed.] VO: Tired of the same old??? Perhaps you're not getting it at all??? Maybe you just want to experiment?? Or maybe......you simply can't wait to get your cream-filled paws on: THE SHOWSTOPPER CYBER!!! IT'S HERE!!!

DON'T ASK US......ASK SOME SATISIFIED CUSTOMERS: [Camera goes to footage of of an older woman, in her late 40's] Woman: You know, when Fred died unexpectedly, I didn't know where to turn. Unpaid bills, funeral costs........the time I needed my husband the most for a good stress relieving lay, and he was gone. Luckily, it happened shortly before Christmas. A good friend....HELL!! She's my saviour.......gave me the "Showstopper Cyber" as a present. I have a new husband now...........and his name is Simon. [Camera cuts to a trashy looking teenage girl.] Girl: I was looking through my mother's closet trying on her clothes. That's when I came across the "Showstopper Cyber". Now, I was young and curious. I had never had sex before, and I was scared. So, I tired it. IT WAS AWESOME!!! Simon Lebec has always been my hero, so imagine how I felt as he broke me in that day!! I went back to try on mom's "clothes" a lot after that, and I've used the experience I've learned on many guys in my class.

[Camera cuts to a fat, hairy ape of a woman wearing sweat pants and eating a bag of popcorn.] Ape Woman: Okay, I'll admit it: I'm uglier than a hat full of assholes!!! I'm fat, hairy, and I got a face on me like a boiled boot!! I know I can't get a man. I've accepted it, and moved on. With the "Showstopper Cyber", I get all the sex my body requires after watching "Days of our Lives"... without the hassle of any man messing up my greasy, oily hair!!!

THE "SHOWSTOPPER CYBER"......INSTANT PLEASURE AT YOUR FINGERTIPS!!!! [Fade. Cut back to Dross looking flabbergasted in the IIWF mobile Control Centre.] Er... I don't know what to say, folks. That product is in no way endorsed by the IIWF. I do apologise for the bad taste of that commercial. Let's move on: Special Interview: IIWF World Heavyweight Champion Deathbringer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The odds certainly seem to be stacked against the IIWF Champion, Deathbringer. In just one week, he will face his toughest challenge to date in the ring, in the form of the Outlaw J.W. Hardin. It is now my pleasure, via a live linkup to the mortuary, to bring you a special interview with Deathbringer. But first, let's remind ourselves of recent events involving the Champion: [Shots of several scenes showing Deathbringer in action: His debut on Coronation Clash, the Deathmatch with Kauffman, Deathbringer getting the IIWF Championship belt at Midsummer Madness after applying the Tombstone on the Outlaw] TD: Deathbringer, one of the most successful competitors here in the IIWF... [Shots of fans, booing Deathbringer and the Coroner out loudly] TD: Once hated... [Shots of fans going almost crazy as Deathbringer makes one of his entrances] TD: ... his fan support now increases with every single match. [Shots of other scenes: Joe Latta interfering in the Texas Death Match, Kauffman piledriving Deathbringer on a steel chair, Billy Sexton and the Arabian Knights pounding on Deathbringer] TD: He has been cheated, blindsided and battered down again and again. [Several shots of Deathbringer sitting up after taking some devastating moves.] TD: However, nothing could hold him down for long. [Shots of the Outlaw and Cadaver attacking Deathbringer after his title defense on Saturday Night] TD: Now he has to face his toughest challenger yet, the Outlaw. Will he be able to put him away, or must the dark destroyer surrender this time? All this and more in just one week! Right now, however, I've the privilege to talk to the IIWF champion in person. Welcome, Deathbringer! [Split screen, Dross on the left, Deathbringer on the right] DB: Greetings, Dross... TD: First of all I'd like to hear about your feelings after the Outlaw and the sinister Cadaver robbed you of the belt last Saturday night. DB: Dross, we have known each other for quite some time now and you know that I have no such feelings like hate or anger. But even if I had such emotions I could not care less about losing the belt. After all, it is just a mortal sign of power and influence. You know, and all the fans out there know, that I am still the true IIWF champion. The loss of the belt means nothing to this fact. It just emphasizes the envy the Outlaw holds against me. And these feelings, Dross, weaken his position. TD: It still seems as if you're quite confident about your title defense at Ring Wars II, even after the Outlaw played out his major trump card by introducing Cadaver to the IIWF. DB: The appearance of Cadaver does not have any effect on this match. As a matter of fact I myself see an advantage in it. TD: An advantage? Now what should that be? DB: Well, I know Cadaver better than anyone else, just as he knows me better than anybody else. We both understands each other's way of thinking. Therefore if Cadaver tells the Outlaw how to defeat me, he only tells him how _he_ would defeat me. Now as I know how he would try to solve this task, I know how the Outlaw will try to solve this task. TD: So you think you know about the Outlaw's strategy? DB: This is right, Dross. There will be no surprises in that match. TD: I wouldn't be too sure about that. Don't forget that Cadaver has quite a few tricks up his sleeve! DB: I know that. But, Dross, answer me the following question: Why should Cadaver want the Outlaw to defeat me? TD: Well... good point. Maybe he sees the Outlaw as an easier opponent to get the belt from? DB: No. Cadaver is not here in the IIWF to capture belts. He is here to get his hands on me. In the past we reached a point you could call a stalemate. But now the board is reset and the everlasting battle between good and evil starts all over again. TD: Deathbringer, don't you think that you're looking past the Outlaw already? Couldn't that be a fatal mistake? DB: Dross, I am only focused on the things that lie ahead. I do not care about anything that lies behind my next task and therefore the Outlaw will meet me at 100%, if not a lot more. Cadaver said I took the last bit of compassion from the Outlaw. Now I learned during the centuries that compassion is a weakness. I have no compassion, I never had any. No mercy, no regret, no remorse... these are the principles I made my prime directive. And until now they worked quite well for me. TD: And this is even more astonishing, when you consider the fans that support you so much. DB: The fans finally recognized my true being. They recognized that I stand up to my word. And even if they disrespected my deeds, they respected the way I performed them. It has always been my mission to eradicate all evil from this earth. And I started with this task a long time ago. Maybe I changed my way a little bit since the Coroner is gone, but I am still what I always was. TD: In your... time of being, have you ever met a man as powerful as the Outlaw? DB: First of all, the Outlaw is not powerful, he is just full of pain and sorrow and this strangely gives him strength. But to answer your question, yes, I have met men far more dangerous and powerful than the Outlaw ever will be, and they all fell pray to the Reaper. Just take a look at the history of mankind. Tell me at what point I lost a single battle against a mortal. Let me give you a few examples: King Hakon, Cressingham, James VII, Robert the Bruce, just to name a few of them. They all were masters of war, but they could not stand my power. If you want to defeat me you first have to defeat the wind and the ocean. I am in a position in which I need no allies to completely destroy a mortal. However this can change if someone tries to cheat me. TD: Does this mean that you've some tricks on your mind as well as far as the Casket Match at Ring Wars II is concerned? DB: Answer this question for yourself, Dross: Have I ever cheated in the squared circle? Have I ever broken any rules? TD: No, I've to admit that. And it really deserves my respect! However, as we speak about your possible allies, what has happened with Dan Kauffman? It seems that the two of you don't work too well together any more? DB: Now where do you get that from? TD: Well, Kauffman said he sees you as a casualty, because you walk between the lines. That doesn't sound too friendly to me. DB: Yes, I have to admit that this is indeed a quite interesting situation. Kauffman says I will be a casualty. Now he might be the mortal you knows me better than any other mortal. Still he says I will be a casualty. I do not quite understand this. As a matter of fact, I am a bit worried about the state of mind he is currently in. Nonetheless I still trust him as far as I trust anybody. However, I will hereby state that I do _not_ walk between the lines. I stand on one side already. On the same side as always. TD: What side is this? The side of "good"? DB: No... The Dark Side... TD: Erm... yes, of course. Well, we're almost out of time. Any last comments? DB: IIWF, darkness is falling down on you. Follow Crimson Death and you will not have to fear anything. Do not be afraid to step into the dark for my voice will take you home. IIWF, obey the reaper! [Cut back to normal shot.] IIWF Midweek Mayhem - 9 October 1996 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This coming Wednesday's card is the penultimate stop on the IIWF's tour, which culminates in Ring Wars II next Saturday, but what an event the folks in Denver, Colorado have in store for them as the IIWF hits the McNichols Arena for Midweek Mayhem! This Wednesday's event will feature that huge Battle Lines Battle Royal, and much more! Here's the card in full as it stands: - Billy Shakespeare & The Punster vs. Aces of the Deep - NON-TITLE: Armed Forces vs. Atomic Destroyers - NON-TITLE: Deathbringer vs. Robski - BATTLE LINES BATTLE ROYAL featuring: = The White Phoenix, "Painbringer" Billy Sexton, Dan Kauffman, Chris Quigley, Hakiro Matsuoko, Randy Acorn, Subway Psycho, Otto Verhoeven, Takezo Musashi, Simon Lebec, Don Antonio, Casey James, the Sandman, and the Man Of Steel. More matches will be announced in time for Tuesday's complete run down. Watch this space! Hang on... [There is a knock on the door. A man wearing a headset pops his head around the door.] Man: Tim! TD: [flashing a smile at the camera] Excuse me for one second..[Tim turns around] What is it? Man: Sorry Tim... there's someone here to see you. TD: [exasperated] Look Dave, I'm on air! Can't it wait until after the broadcast? Who is it, anyway? Dave: That's just it. I don't know who it is, but she knows you're on air and says she has an important announcement to make to the IIWF... TD: Then tell her to send an offical interview! Dave: I don't think she's going to take no for an answer, Tim... TD: All right, all right, send her through... [Dave vanishes back behind the door. Two seconds later, he opens it again and holds it open as a stunningly beautiful young lady, with deep green eyes and long brown hair sweeps into the room. She is wearing a figure-hugging, and very expensive looking, designer dress. She stops in front of Tim's desk, and looks at him coldly. Tim is dumbstruck. A few seconds go by.] Lady: [impatiently] Well? TD: Sorry? Lady: It is very rude not to invite a guest to sit down, you know. TD [blushing]: Oh, sorry, please, make yourself at home. [She stares at the chair, then at Tim and taps her foot impatiently. Tim stands up quickly, jarring the desk, and pulls out the chair for her. She sits down and inspects her fingernails with an air of utter disdain.] Lady: That's more like it. You should learn some manners... Tim: [shifting uncomfortably] Well? Who are you? What do you want? We are on air, you know... [If looks could kill, Tim would be in severe trouble at this moment.] Lady: _I_ am the Lady DeWinter. You may call me milady. And I am here to talk to you about a man who has more class in his little finger than you have in your entire body. A man who is going to be causing a lot of changes in this little federation very soon. [She leans forward in her seat, looks at Tim and says in a seductive voice.] DeWinter: You see, dear Timmy, the rumour is that this federation is quickly turning into one of _the_ places to be seen. [Her tone starts to mock slightly] The rumour is, that this federation has one of the toughest, most challenging singles leagues in the world today. And if there is one thing that my man loves, it is a challenge. Frankly, I'm not sure that I see the attraction of this dingy little place myself, after all, it's not as if he needs the money. But of course, he doesn't need me telling him what to do, he will have his own way... TD: [clearing his throat] Er..hm. yes, but who is this man...? DeWinter: [laughing softly] Now now, Timmy, let's not get impatient, shall we? All will be revealed in good time. TD: Well, could you at least tell us a little more about him? [DeWinter takes on a dreamy look and rests her head on her hands.] DeWinter: I could tell you an awful lot about him. He is a complete athlete. Agile, strong, tough, brave....and breathtaking to watch in the ring, a thorough professional. That besides, he is a perfect gentleman. Handsome...[She sighs softly]..there is perhaps no-ne else like him in the entire world of wrestling. He will turn this place on its head. [She snaps out of it, regains some composure, stands up and eyes Tim coldly.] Anyway. I think I have already taken up too much of your time here. After all, you do have a report to finish. But...yes. Meet me in the Cafe aux Bohiemiens in New Orleans on Sunday night, say 7 pm? I will have a bit more to tell you about him then. [She glares at Tim's suit] Oh, and do hire yourself some respectable clothes. You do want to get in, don't you? TD: [very flustered] Yes, yes, of course... DeWinter: Good, then I will see you on Sunday. Good day. [The Lady DeWinter walks toward the door, which opens for her. Dave peers around and sticks his thumb up as she leaves the room] TD: [taking a drink] Right..*ahem*...where were we? Ah yes... Ring Wars II rundown. Thanks.
