Two figures sit at a curved desk in front of a large video wall. The lights rise as the video wall comes to life with the IIWF logo. Seated at the desk are Tim Dross and Becky LaRue.] TD: Welcome everybody to the first edition of IIWF Wednesday War Room. I'm Tim Dross, and together with the beautiful Becky LaRue, we'll be running down all the action from tonight's house show at the IIWF Coliseum. BL: Plus we'll also be hearing live from the IIWF President, Dictator Danny, a little later on, with further news on the upcoming pay-per-view spectacular, IIWF Snow Brawl, and I understand he also has some announcements which will affect the immediate future here in the IIWF. TD: What a night of action it was in the IIWF Coliseum, folks. Nearly twenty thousand fans crammed into the arena to see some tremendous encounters, and our broadcast colleague "Soundbite" Steve Roberts is still down at the Coliseum. Can you hear me, Steve? [Dross and Becky turn their chairs to face the video wall, on which the image of Steve Roberts standing in front of the ring in the IIWF Coliseum is seen. Behind Roberts, the last few fans can be seen leaving the arena, and the ring crew is already at work dismantling the squared circle.] SR: Of course I can hear you, and I have to tell you that being here in the Coliseum with twenty thousand moronic fans was only marginally better than being here on a Saturday night by virtue of the fact that I didn't have to share the broadcast booth with you, Dross. TD: Good to see you're in high spirits, as usual, Steve. SR: Don't try to be funny, Dross. TD: Sorry, Steve. We'll be coming back to you over the course of the show. Stay right there. SR: Do I have a choice? [The image on the video wall is replaced with the IIWF logo once more as Dross and Becky turn back to the cameras.] BL: I wonder what's eating Steve? You'd think he'd had to work with Larry Morton for four months or something. TD: Without further ado, let's get straight down to the rundown. The first match in the Coliseum tonight pitted Harlequin Tragedy against Nick Name. [Images of the two wrestlers along with their stats appear on the video wall:] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= HARLEQUIN TRAGEDY vs. NICK NAME =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 5'10" HEIGHT 6'1" 220lbs WEIGHT 250lbs Technical, Endurance, Aerial ATTRIBUTES Mat, Brawling, Cheating ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TD: Nick Name proved to be no match for Harlequin Tragedy in this short-lived encounter. Tragedy sent out a strong message to Lord Byron, who he will be meeting live this Saturday Night, finishing Name off with his Tragic Ending scorpion deathlock. Lord Byron certainly received the message loud and clear, since he and the Lady DeWinter watched Tragedy's match from the aisle. It's going to be a great scientific encounter, Becky, that's for sure. BL: There's not a wrestler in the world today who can compete with Lord Byron in a pure scientific match, and Tragedy's going to find that his efforts meet a tragic ending themselves on Saturday. TD: We'll see about that, Becky -- I have it on good authority that Tragedy has a little surprise in store for Byron this Saturday Night. [WINNER: Harlequin Tragedy by submission in 2:17.] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= LORD BYRON vs. "NIFTY" NED NORTON =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 6'4" HEIGHT 6' 275lbs WEIGHT 245lbs Technical, Endurance, Mat ATTRIBUTES Mat, Technical, Aerial ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TD: Byron himself was in action this evening, making short work of Alabama's favourite son, "Nifty" Ned Norton. Byron was more aggressive in the ring than ever before, not even giving Norton any space to breathe, let along string together any offence. The Aristoclutch, quickly applied by Byron after his initial offensive flurry, forced Norton to submit, and Byron refused to release the hold despite threats from the official to disqualify him and reverse the decision. BL: I'd be surprised if Norton can even walk tomorrow, Timmy. He may be a blue-blooded toff, but Byron knows how to break bones. TD: A blue-blooded toff? I would have thought Byron was right up your street, Becky... He's rich, handsome, courteous... BL: ...but like a lot of men, he's substantially greater in the pocket department than the packet department, if you know what I mean. TD: Er... what? BL: He's financially more well-endowed than he is physically, you idiot. TD: Okay, that's quite enough of that, Becky. During the match, in any case, a package was delivered to ringside, and the Lady DeWinter opened it before handing its contents to Byron, who seemed strangely upset. We later found out that the package had contained a book, "How to Make Friends and Influence People", courtesy of one Marty Warnett. BL: I'm not surprised Byron was annoyed, Timmy. He's got more class in his little finger than there is in the whole of Walnut's home country. TD: I don't know about that, Becky, but Byron and Warnett are sure to meet in the ring once more, and I hear whispers that Byron is lobbying the front office to draw up contracts for something called a "Pure Science Match" between the two men. More news on that as we get it. [WINNER: Lord Byron by submission in 1:23.] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ONSLAUGHT vs. "PAINBRINGER" BILLY SEXTON =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 6'1" HEIGHT 6'2" 229lbs WEIGHT 245lbs Aerial, Technical, Endurance ATTRIBUTES Cheating, Technical, Endurance ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TD: Onslaught's match with "Painbringer" Billy Sexton never even got underway. Let's go over to Steve for the details. [Cut to Roberts standing in the IIWF Coliseum.] SR: It comes as no surprise to me that the IIWF President continues to conspire against certain athletes here in the IIWF, preventing them from gaining the recognition and the titles that they deserve. Billy Sexton, who has been overlooked by the front office since he arrived in the IIWF, may have finally discovered why. We all heard Sexton's comments last week, revealing his suspicions that newly-crowned Intercontinental cripple Billy Shakespeare is giving substantial bribes to high-ranking IIWF officials to avoid stepping into the ring with him, and tonight, he may well have got the proof he needs. Before Sexton even got into the ring with Onslaught, a messenger handed him a note. Let's go to some footage now: [Cut to Sexton storming up the aisle, leaving Onslaught standing in the ring. The camera follows Sexton as he charges into a locker room, where he opens up one of the lockers to find a large envelope. Sexton looks at the envelope and opens it. He pulls out a picture and shows it to the camera. The picture shows a man, captured from behind, handing a package to two officials. Sexton pulls out another card from the envelope, on which the following is written: "Tiger Claw / Billy Sexton. Sexton doesn't win. For Shakespeare gets handed the title next week." Sexton throws down the envelope, and turns to the camera:] BS: [shouting] Is this what the IIWF has come to?! Shakespeare -- President -- the referees -- _everybody_ is against me. Well, baby, you boys have a lot of explaining to do. And I am going to get an answer, even if I have to go straight to the top! [Sexton storms out of the locker room. Cut back to Steve Roberts standing in the ring area.] SR: Now, I happen to have that photograph here in my hand, and having looked closely at it myself, I must say that I recognise all of these men. The guy with the package looks like none other than Pukespeare himself, while the suit taking the package appears to be the beloved IIWF President, and the third guy looks like Poutine Janois, head of the IIWF Special Concerns Committee. Perhaps now some of the mud being thrown at the IIWF's corrupt front office is going to stick. [Cut to Dross and Becky facing the video wall.] TD: Steve, I don't think it's fair to be jumping to conclusions like that. We all know that the IIWF President has faced similar allegations in the past, and they have all proved completely unfounded. BL: Oh yeah, Timmy? Then explain the sudden disappearance of the Family from the rings. SR: Precisely. We've seen Dictator Danny methodically weed out the dissenters -- remember what happened to the Man Of Steel? TD: You two, please... The IIWF President will be joining us later in the show. I'll be sure to ask him for his reaction. We'll come back to you later, Steve. [Roberts disappears from the video wall.] TD: The official decision on the match, incidentally, was a victory by default for Onslaught, due to Sexton's failure to return to the ring and beat the referee's count. [WINNER: Onslaught by default.] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The Syndicate: The Rotundos: TIGER CLAW & CASEY JAMES vs. ROTUNDO #1 & ROTUNDO #2 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 6'2" 6'6" HEIGHT 6'4" 6'3" 220lbs 320lbs WEIGHT 530lbs 550lbs Endurance Strength ATTRIBUTES Obesity Obesity Technical Brawling Brawling Brawling Intelligence Mat Teamwork Teamwork ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TD: Brian Lau has been uncharacteristically silent concerning the status of Hakiro Matsuoko in the Syndicate, and the IIWF Cruiserweight Champion was nowhere to be seen tonight as Tiger Claw and Casey "Blackheart" James let their wrestling do the talking against the Rotundos. The two Syndicate men toyed with their opponents throughout the match before finishing them off with the lethal double whammy of Casey James' heart punch followed by Tiger Claw's Golden Tiger Strike. It was quite an impressive performance from Lau's men, Becky -- perhaps they truly have regained their focus. BL: The Syndicate is back on track, Timmy. With Matsuoko back in the fold... TD: Becky, we don't have any proof that Hakiro is once again in cahoots with Lau. BL: Call it female intuition if you like, Timmy, but believe me, I'm sure Lau has Matsuoko under control. As I was saying, before I was so _rudely_ interrupted, with Matsuoko back in the fold, and with the Dark Disciples on the rampage, it won't be long before more gold finds its way to the Syndicate. [WINNERS: Tiger Claw & Casey James by pinfall in 6:52.] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= FISTO FLASH vs. "BADBOY" RANDY ACORN =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 6'6" HEIGHT 6'3" 305lbs WEIGHT 227lbs Strength, Brawling, Endurance ATTRIBUTES Technical, Mat, Brawling ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TD: Fisto Flash was the victim of a "Superstar" attack tonight in his match against former Cruiserweight Champion, Randy Acorn. Let's go to Steve, who has the details: [Cut to Steve Roberts standing in the Coliseum.] SR: The match between Fisto and Acorn was a real battle of speed versus power, and for the most part, the power of Fisto Flash won out. However, just as Fisto executed the knucklebomb on Acorn, who should come down to ringside but Stud Stetson's valet, the lovely Lace... BL: [under her breath] Tramp. SR: ...who distracted the official by showing a little skin, if you know what I mean. While the ref's back was turned, Stud Stetson himself came out of the crowd and leathered Fisto Flash with an aluminium baseball bat. The referee turned and immediately signalled for the bell, but the damage was done. Stetson and Lace left the ringside area jubilantly, yelling "Nobody touches greatness like myself and gets away with it." You've got to admit, Dross, that arrogant as he may be, Stetson has style. Not to mention a stunning valet. [Cut back to the studio.] TD: I don't have to admit anything of the sort, Steve. That was yet another heinous attack on the part of Stud Stetson, and you've got to believe that he's going to get his comeuppance sooner rather than later. You can only make so many enemies before things blow up in your face. But turning back to the match itself, it seems that Randy Acorn is really on a downward spiral. BL: He sure is. The form that won him the IIWF Cruiserweight title a while back has simply disappeared, and even his surprise tactics aren't enough to pull him through against the tough competition here in recent weeks. TD: It's possible that Acorn is very unhappy here in the IIWF, and may be looking for a way out of his contract. I'll keep you informed on that situation, folks. [WINNER: Fisto Flash by disqualification in 14:15.] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= "LONE WOLF" BRODY THUNDER vs. VENUSIAN DEATH CELL =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 6'2" HEIGHT 6'5" 267lbs WEIGHT 332lbs Endurance, Intelligence, ATTRIBUTES Strength, Cheating, Brawling Technical ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TD: Two athletes who both have very impressive records here in the IIWF clashed for a second time earlier on tonight. Let's go back and hear from both Thunder and the Cell as they prepared for their match: [Cut to a close up of a leather strap being slapped against an open hand. The camera pulls back to reveal Brody Thunder holding the strap.] BT: Forgiveness. The Good Book says a man should turn the other cheek and forgive. "To err is human... to forgive divine" as the old saying goes. Well, VDC... I'm in a forgivin' mood. Yeah.. I'm FOR GIVIN' you the whoopin' o' yer life, son. Tonight in just a few short minutes, you're gonna be in one helluva scrap, martian man... I hope yer ready. I don't know who you are... I don't know what yer problem is... but I DO know that I'm gonna settle our little score tonight. Yer a big man, I'll give ya that... but we're gonna go ta fist city, friend, an' when the dust settles one man is gonna get his hand raised. That man is the "Lone Wolf" Brody Thunder. [Camera tightens back in on the strap then freezes. The shot spins to reveal the Venusian Death Cell in the IIWF interview room before the match with Brody Thunder.] VDC: So, Thunder [the VDC spits some green fluid], you're coming back for more, huh? This time you won't be let off so lightly. You say you are not scared of me, so does everyone else. Well guess what? I've never been fairly beaten in this fed in either of my two spells here and you think that some clot like you will change that? I don't think so and later on tonight it's my job to prove it to you, which I almost certainly will. You are an FWLI reject, Thunder, hell, half of this fed is now, and if you can't cut it there, you sure as hell won't cut it against me. You think I'm a b-movie horror character, well whatever I am, tonight I will destroy you! [The Cell then runs out of the interview room towards his locker room, shouting and screaming as if in pain, although he quite plainly isn't. Cut back to the studio.] TD: It was a very hard-fought match, Becky, with the advantage switching back and forth throughout, but in the end, it was Brody Thunder who pulled off the victory with his "Thunderbolt" torture rack-shoulder breaker combo, an amazing feat of strength given that the Cell is such a big man. Earlier in the match, Thunder had countered the Cell's patented chokeslams, and fired back with a series of stiff clotheslines, which seemed to almost knock the Cell unconscious, before hitting the Thunderbolt for the win. If I didn't know better, Becky, I'd say that Thunder had a loaded elbow-pad, given the damage those clotheslines did to the Venusian Death Cell. BL: Don't be ridiculous, Timmy. Thunder is just a mean, rangy cowboy with a mean streak a mile wide. He's a more methodical competitor than the Cell, and there was never any doubt that his brains would carry him through. [WINNER: "Lone Wolf" Brody Thunder by pinfall in 16:31.] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= DEATHBRINGER vs. "HIGH ROLLER" JOHN McCLAIN =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 6'10" HEIGHT 6'5" 324lbs WEIGHT 332lbs Strength, Endurance ATTRIBUTES Toughness, Intelligence, Brawling Technical ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TD: "High Roller" John McClain continues to roll snake-eyes here in the IIWF as he was rolled over by Deathbringer earlier on tonight. The dark destroyer was completely dominant, hardly allowing McClain to even get a shot in. However, there was a disturbance in the crowd during the match. Let's go back to Steve for the details: [Cut to Steve Roberts in the Coliseum.] SR: It's simple, Dross. Deathbringer had completely destroyed McClain, hitting him with two of his stunning Scythe flying clotheslines, when these morons went crazy, and all because the IIWF chump Dan "Hot air" Kauffman had gone out into the crowd to watch the match. From a distance of about fifty yards, Kauffman just stood and stared at Deathbringer, and the big man just stared back. But I swear, Dross, I could see Kauffman shaking in his boots from here. He's terrified of Deathbringer, and these half-baked shows of bravado don't fool anybody. When Kauffman steps back in the ring with Deathbringer, it's going to be black death for the chump. [Cut back to the studio.] TD: I'm really not convinced that's true, Steve... After facing Cadaver last weekend, I can't imagine that Kauffman could be scared of Deathbringer. After all, the fans are behind the champ 110% every time he steps into the ring. BL: All the fan support in the world isn't going to make the blindest bit of difference, Timmy. We all know what happened the last time Kauffman battled Deathbringer -- he left the IIWF Coliseum on a stretcher. TD: Be that as it may, Kauffman and Deathbringer will meet again somewhere down the line -- and possibly at Snow Brawl. In any case, 'Bringer finished McClain off with the Burial, and then pointed out into the crowd straight at Kauffman. There will be tears before bedtime between these two, folks. [WINNER: Deathbringer by pinfall in 4:23.] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alphabet Boys: The Players' Club: ABIE & ZED vs. DYNAMITE & REYNA =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 6'7" 6'4" HEIGHT 5'11" 6' 300lbs 289lbs WEIGHT 235lbs 235lbs Strength Cheating ATTRIBUTES Endurance Intelligence Brawling Brawling Aerial Technical Cheating Strength Teamwork Teamwork ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TD: There is no more unorthodox tag team than the Alphabet Boys in the IIWF, and the Players' Club weren't fully prepared for the full extent of the ABoys' bizarreness. Dynamite and Reyna went into the ring wanting to wrestle, but Abie and Zed were more interested in playing pattacake with each other, and with their opponents. After a number of abortive attempts to get the Boys to wrestle, which generally resulted in the ABoys coquettishly ejecting Reyna and Dynamite from the ring, the Players' Club decided to pack it in and head back up the aisle, leaving the referee with no choice other than to count them out. BL: Don't get me wrong, Larry -- I don't like the Players' Club any more than I do those two moronic Alphabet Looney-tunes, but the referee shouldn't have counted the Players' Club out. He should have disqualified those two pre-kindergarten clowns for refusing to wrestle. TD: How to deal with the Alphabet Boys: the eternal question. [WINNERS: Alphabet Boys by countout in 8:11.] =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Heavy Metal: Barnacle Brothers: ATLAS & APOLLO vs. BARNACLE #1 BARNACLE #2 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= 6'7" 6'8" HEIGHT 6'2" 6'4" 320lbs 340lbs WEIGHT 275lbs 320lbs Strength Strength ATTRIBUTES Squinting Smoking Techncal Brawling Falling Chuckling Teamwork Teamwork Teamwork Teamwork ----------------------------------------------------------------------- TD: In the final encounter of the evening, Robo Stone's dynamic duo, Heavy Metal, quickly defeated the Barnacle Brothers, taking out the sea-faring athletes with their Olympic Slam. BL: It's only a matter of time before the Steele twins finally get the title shot they deserve, and when they do... Robo Stone will be laughing. TD: Yeah, but Robo Stone laughs even when his team loses. BL: Good point. [WINNERS: Heavy Metal by pinfall in 2:55.] TD: Okay, folks, it's time to go live to the offices of the IIWF President, who has some important announcements to make. [Dross and Becky turn to the video wall, on which appears the IIWF President seated at his desk in his office.] TD: President Dan, thanks for joining us here tonight. DS: My pleasure, Tim. Er... good evening, Becky. BL: How ya doing, big boy? TD: I beg your pardon? BL: Never you mind, Timmy. DS: [clears his throat] TD: Mr. President, before we get onto your announcements, do you have any immediate reaction to the allegations of Billy Sexton made earlier on tonight? DS: At this time, Tim, I think it would be unwise to make any particular comments. However, I will be discussing this matter with my Vice President and othe front office officials just as soon as I can. TD: Okay. So, on to other matters. DS: Indeed. Firstly, further concerning the IIWF Intercontinental Champion, "Spotlight" Billy Shakespeare. As you reported yesterday, Billy has been petitioning the front office for a few weeks away from active duty to allow his injuries to heal. Having had Billy examined by the IIWF's doctors, we were glad to recommend that Shakespeare take a few weeks off, but when he chose, without any prior consent from his doctors, to step back into the spotlight, so to speak, on Saturday night, he angered some front office officials, who demanded that he resume his wrestling duties forthwith. I was unable to convince them otherwise, but I was able to stipulate that although Billy will be forced to fulfill his contractual obligations over the next couple of weeks, the Intercontinental Championship will not be at stake. TD: Does this mean that Billy will compete as originally scheduled against Billy Sexton this Saturday Night? DS: Yes it does, Tim, but the Intercontinental Championship will not be on the line. While we're on the subject of Saturday's card, it seems that Pain Inc. will not be returning from Jakarta for another week, so they will be replaced in the scheduled eight-man tag match by the Arabian Knights. TD: So that makes it Rising Sun Revolution and Domination teaming up against Heavy Metal and the Arabian Knights? DS: That's right, Tim. Also on Saturday's card, the High Plains Drifters will battle the Armed Forces to determine the number one contender to Rising Sun Revolution's World Tag Team titles, which will then be on the line against the winning team next Saturday Night. However, the rest of the teams in the IIWF need not feel despondent, since I have also sanctioned a special tag team battle royal match to take place on the Free For All at Snow Brawl on December 21 in which all the tag teams of the IIWF, apart from the champions and the challengers in the title match for the PPV itself, will compete in an over-the-top-rope battle royal to determine who will get the first shot at the titles in the New Year. TD: That's great news, President Dan. Anything further to add concerning Snow Brawl? DS: Yes, Tim. Here are the second batch of six names entered into the Lethal Lottery: Robski; Mr. Damage; Fisto Flash; "Superstar" Stud Stetson; "Lone Wolf" Brody Thunder; and Otto "the Butcher" Verhoeven. They join the six athletes announced last Saturday night, and I'll be announcing further additions to the draw this coming weekend, as well as the first details on the title matches for Snow Brawl. TD: Great. There are already some big names in that Lethal Lottery draw, Mr. President. DS: And more to come this weekend, Tim. TD: Thanks for joining us here tonight. DS: No problem. Goodnight, Tim... uh... goodnight, Becky. BL: Nighty-night. [The IIWF logo once again appears on the video wall, and Dross and Becky turn back to the camera.] TD: Was I imagining it, or did the President seem a little awkward with you, Becky? BL: I don't know what you're talking about, Timmy. TD: Well, we're out of time here, folks. We hope you've enjoyed this first edition of IIWF Wednesday War Room. Becky will be back with you on Friday, along with Larry Morton, for another in-depth Countdown to Saturday Night, and Steve Roberts and myself will be back with more live IIWF action this Saturday Night. We leave you with comments from the Armed Forces, who were interviewed by Larry Morton earlier tonight after hearing about the signing of their match with the High Plains Drifters for this Saturday Night. For Becky LaRue, this is Tim Dross, saying: so long, everybody. BL: You mean, "nighty-night, folks." TD: I know what I mean, thankyou very much. BL: Don't you take that tone of voice with me, Timmy, or I'll... [The audio is faded out as the lights in the studio drop. Cut to Larry Morton in the locker room. He is standing with NavCom and DefCon, the Armed Forces, along with Aaron the Caddy.] LM: Gentlemen, you heard the announcement earlier, you and the High Plains Drifters in just three days for the number one contender's slot. Your thoughts... NC: High Plains Drifters. Easy, Pale. On August 24th, we stepped into the ring with you, and took the tag team championships away. On October 12th, we met again in the ring... and we pinned you a second time. Don't expect much else on Saturday Night. DC: Rising Sun Revolution! You have done nothing but taunt the lion, and you'll feel the power of its roar and attack. When you took the titles from us, it was a shot in the arm for me. I'm that lion. And after we beat the tar out of the Drifters, we're coming for two things. To end your lucky streak, and slip into those belts as the two-time champions. LM: Aaron, rumor has it that you've been out of the country. Is this true? ATC: I just got back from Jakarta and a beautiful vacation. My buddy Mr. Mic and I just chillin' poolside while his Pain, Inc. was working out, and let me tell you something, they're back better than ever. And they've got a little message for the Alphabet Boys, Domination and Rising Sun Revolution. It'd be fun to tell you, but I think I'll let their actions do the speaking when they come back. NC: Just three more days Drifters... Rising Sun Revolution, prepare to be stomped out. LM: Thank you very much gentlemen... there's the Armed Forces, the former tag team champions, they'll be in a big match this Saturday with the High Plains Drifters for the number one contendership. [The Forces flex in the background. Freeze and fade.] +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= I * I * W * F =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-+ | President: Daniel Spreadbury | Vice-President: Steve Owens | | univ0322@sable.ox.ac.uk | sowens@admin.presby.edu | | iiwf@sisko.demon.co.uk | IIWFadmin@aol.com | +=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- http://www.sisko.demon.co.uk -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=+
