DATE : Mon
2nd April 2001Monday Mayhem-from Honolulu, Hawaii
The week kicked off with Monday Hardcore Mayhem and McMillan and Samson commenting on the state of the T.F.W.F., many wrestlers had been arrested after Saturday Slam, but the situation of the riot van returning and the Asylum losing had many questions to be answered for the faithful of the T.F.W.F., the music of the Management hit the speakers as he walked out with a microphone.
'Hawaii, a few questions remain after last week what is the state of the T.F.W.F., well we were fined and heavy, but I have the cash to pay for these things like I have the cash to buy all of you!'
(Crowd boo)
'Shut up, what remains for me to say is that I was wrong, wrong in thinking that scum in that match could give us a fair and decent show, The Unholy Alliance, The Revolution cost me plenty of cash and one thing I don't like to do is lose money, so what am I going to do about it, well those I personally blame will pay the price...not with money, but in the ring. We might have new Tag Team Champions here, but I have a team under my control whom will take them out! Introducing to you from the Hardcore Haven...the most deadly duo Angel and Yankee will see, X and Peacemaker!'
The Haven's music hits the arena as all five members walk out Shriek is holding her newly won Women's title, Peacemaker takes a microphone.
'Its plain to me that a new breed has emerged the New Hardcore Haven! Unlike our predecessors whom have formed the Rezerection! We have more gold in our sights than they can handle, firstly the man who this week will add the European Title to his grasp the T.F.W.F. Hardcore Champion...Torch! The only Woman in the T.F.W.F. and the rightful Champion...Shriek...Our friend, Invader's greatest challenge for the IC title, Millennium! And the duo which will silence Yankee and Angel the Hardcore Haven's tag team myself and X what people don't seem to realize is this new look Haven has heard all the noise in fact we make plenty of it ourselves and this week we will silence the rest of the competition starting with retiring the sultan of submission Luddite. Unholy Alliance what you don't realize is that you are marked, the Haven has you in its sights, we are going to finish the Alliance and we are going to finish the Rezerection and when its all said and done the New Hardcore Haven will be remembered as the group that finally put all the misfits in line and made this man the legendary Management sleep easy at night!'
As Peacemaker finishes the music of the Four-Corners hits the speakers minus the kidnapped Hawk and with a new monkey...Kelvin following Invader, Da Gremlin and Tiger Young emerge they do some random celebrations to some big heat, Tiger takes a microphone.
'Hold up here Peacemaker, you think you are doing a great job, well you can finish the revolution if you want, but the gold and glory only belongs one place right here in the four corners!' Invader grabs a microphone.
'Thats right guvoner! See Millennium you think this belt going over to you matey, wrong this belt stays here with the greatest IC Champion of all time...me!' Da Gremlin takes a microphone.
'The only tag team that will beat the Unholy Alliance is here as well...the Extreme Players! So you can turn around and get the bloody hell off our stage!'
The Haven and Four-Corners start talking trash the Management looks uneasy,
'Guys, guys we don't need to fight, tell you what I got a nice buffet and a few bottles of champagne backstage we can sit down and talk about this!'
The scene cuts backstage to an empty buffet and Yankee sat on the floor with Luddite all the champagne is gone Yankee speaks.
'Morning fellas shame you didn't have any beer for your celebration well Luddite helped himself to the buffet and the Masters of Pain and me enjoyed a few bottles of champagne, see you can yap, yap all night long I don't care I got the one half of the Tag Team Titles, I got a full stomach now and come Saturday Night I will have the Heavyweight title and if you didn't know...THERE AIN'T A DAMNED THING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!'
The Firm-Court members run backstage as Millennium waits in the ring for his Lion's Den Match!
Millennium vs Luddite (lion's den match loser forced into retirement!)
Probably one of the most tense matches of the week saw Luddite the sultan of submission taking on the Unholy Alliance traitor Millennium one would be forced into retirement. The favorite for this match was obviously Luddite he was without a doubt the greatest submission expert the T.F.W.F. have ever seen. Millennium had more mood changes than most he was one day a loner ranger, then a Hellbound member, now he was with The Hardcore Haven. The small cell was ready as Luddite stepped out, he looked slightly drunk from earlier and was definitely still pilling on the pounds. The both got in the lion's den and went into a qucik grapple, Ludd pushed 2K to the floor and hit a quick leg drop, but 2K snapped the leg around and went for an ankle lock, Ludd wriggled out kicking 2K in the face, Ludd got to his feet with a quick ddt and went for a camel clutch, but 2K hit a snap mare and went for a sleeper. The crowd were being treated to a great counter for counter affair. Ludd finally took control with a leg sweep he let out a large belch as he pulled 2K donw with an arm drag take down and went to soften up the arm with a series of moves it was quite a nice set of moves all together and afterwards 2K was writhing in agony. 2K's greatest asset is his ability to use his legs he returned a leg sweep on Ludd and went for a figure four, the big man was in trouble as he looked set to tap out, but was able to muster his strength and reverse the hold and pressure back to 2K. It was a great match, 2K took it back to Luddite slamming his face into the steel, he might not be a great submission man, but if he could damage Ludd enough he might not have to be. 2K slaamed Ludd's shoulder into the cage three times and hit a back suplex onto the mat 2k went for a figure four, but Luddite grabbed his free arm and flipped him over! The Ludd-Bar!!! 2K was screaming in agony as he tried to hang on. The music of the Hardcore Haven blasted the speakers coming out were X, Peacemaker and Torch they started to scale the cage looking to get in the referee tried to ward them off, but he was oblivious to 2K now fiercely tapping out. The Haven climbed in X and Peacemaker distracted the referee as Torch grabbed Luddite and held him in the air dropping him hard, 2K got nailed the '2K' kick to Ludd and attached a sleeper. Peacemaker and X were shuffled out as Torch escaped over the cage the ref turned around raised Ludd's hand three times and called for the bell. The Haven had cheated Luddite ou of his career! The music of Yankee hit the speakers he came out to the stage and went for the Haven who quickly scattered to the crowd. He picked up Ludd who looked out into the crowd, a tear dropped from the big man's hand as he grabbed a microphone the crowd cheered.
'Tonight injustice was done, but whatever happens Haven the Unholy Alliance will make you pay and Luddite won't be far behind.'
Luddite got a standing ovation Yankee left the ringside area on the search for Earl.
Winner via submission: Millennium
(T.F.W.F. COMMERCIAL: 'ITS ALL ABOUT THE SEX...ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY...ONE MAN LOOKS FOR JUSTICE IN A WORLD WITH NONE...STARING T.F.W.F. SUPERSTAR PIMP IN...'MAGNUM PIMP I...THE FIRST CASE...PIMP IN TO THE MAX' IN CINEMAS FROM FRIDAY EVERYWHERE)
The T.F.W.F. returned to the commentary team of Mahoney Mac and Samson
MM: Well what a interesting state of affairs the Sultan of Submission jipped out of his career by the sadistic Hardcore Haven!
S: Well I will miss Ludd he was a great guy backstage and a true professional its a sad day and the question remains what's Earl going to do about it!
MM: Speaking of that lets go backstage to Earl's office.
Earl's door was being knocked down by Yankee.
'Earl get your pompous ass out here now!'
Earl emerges.
'Yes, have you heard of please and thank you Mr. Yankee!'
'Have you heard of pain and more pain Earl'
Earl gulps.
'I am sorry Yankee, but the ruling stands, the referees decision was final, I suggest you leave right now before I call the police.'
'I'll leave when you promise me one thing and one thing only, next week me in a gauntlet match against Millennium, X, Torch and Peacemaker.'
'Are you crazy.'
'Now just pissed off and looking for revenge and let me get this straight in your fine wine sipping face...there is a damn thing you can do about it BOOK IT!'
Earl looks at Yankee as he leaves and smiles a plan seems to be forming.
The action returns to the ring
Ray Rush vs X (TLC match)
One member of the Unholy Alliance is retired, but the newest is on his way to the ring, Ray Rush gets a massive pop from the crowd as he comes out, he grabs a microphone.
'Now this is a big match for me tonight for one reason I am ready to step back into the IC title scene once more and X you better not Rush it or you will feel the Head Rush!'
X came out to some major heat and grabbed a chair and went straight for Rush, but Rush blocked it and started jabbing rights into X's face. He nailed a big ddt onto the chair. Rush then applied an arm wrench to X then lifting up X and delivering a gut-wrench power bomb. X then countered picking Rush up and side slams him to the chair. X then strikes Rush in the elbow. X then lifts Rush up and drops him on his knee. Rush was able to reverse DDT's X's head into the chair. Rush dives head first into X knocking him down. Rush then was able to piledrives X head first into the chair. X then countered connecting with a low blow, Rush goes down. X connects with a flying knee Rush goes down again. Rush was easy pickens now as X went for a chair on the outside. He set them up and tossed Rush into them climbing a ladder X missed a drop kick from the top.
MM: What action here in the T.F.W.F., X and Rush back and forth like a pendulum
S: Got to say Rush is my favorite a win here is helping solidify his grasp on an IC title shot.
MM: Maybe.
Rush was now up dazed somewhat he pulled a table into the ring from the outside setting it up took too long as X nailed a leg sweep sending Rush onto the top of it X climbed a ladder still set up and frog splashed Rush through the table. A near fall. X went back on the offensive hitting a snap suplex on Ray into the splintered wood, but Ray kicked out again. The music of the Unholy Alliance hit the speakers! Luddite emerged now in street attire he was staring down X as he charged the ring and jumped in pinning X in the corner with knees to the chest, Luddite hit a massive belly to belly and snapped the 'ludd-bar' on X! Rush grabbed a chair and whacked it on X over and over, he and Ludd exchanged high fives as he pulled him to the top of the ladder, Rush was going for the 'head rush', but taking his time. This time allowed the Haven to emerge from the back and go for Rush, Peacemaker sweeped the ladder quick and both men went crashing to the outside. Him and Luddite then exchanged rights and lefts in the ring. 2K and Torch set up another table in the ring and went for Ray, but Yankee came rushing out! He grabbed 2K and tossed him off the stage he went for Torch hitting him into the ringpost, he went straight after X now with a barrage of moves. Rush mounted the top of the ladder, Yankee tossed X onto the table, both men started fighting on the table, Rush jumped and nailed a flying lariat on X through the table a quick cover, but X kicked out! Rush went for a snap suplex, but X countered with a small package one, two...Yankee reversed it...one, two three, Rush got him! A big win for Ray Rush. The Haven picked up themselves and got out of the ring, Yankee popped a few beers to christen Rush' first victory in the Unholy Alliance colours.
Winner by pinfall: Ray Rush
Peacemaker/Shriek vs Svante Aleblad/Charlie (Street Fight)
The arena, as the theme for the
Love Shack plays. Svante and Charlie make their entrance, to the rousing
cheers of the crowd! Jaycee Hall makes the introductions:
Jaycee: Ladies and gentlemen! The following contest is a
four-person intergender street fight! Making their way to the ring,
representing the Love Shack: Svante Aldebad and Charlie!
Svenny and Charlie vamp for the crowd, who cheer their appreciation.
The cheers turn quickly into boos, however, as the Haven's theme begins to
play.
Jaycee: And their opponents, representing the Hardcore Haven:
Peacemaker and Shriek!
Peacemaker sneers at the crowd while Shriek blows kisses. Svenny and
Charlie waste no time, however, and charge up the ramp to meet their
opponents.
But, suddenly, the Love Shack contingent staggers back, reeling!
Peacemaker and Shriek were ready for them, and were packing stun guns to boot!
Shriek rolls Charlie back into the ring, while Peacemaker contents himself
with assaulting Svante right where he lies.
In the ring, Shriek continues to press her advantage by backing Charlie up
into a corner and giving her another taste of the stun gun before cracking its
hard plastic shell across Charlie's jaw! Shriek smiles sadistically as
she attempts to whip Charlie into the opposite turnbuckle.
But Charlie reverses! Charlie is no easy customer by any means, and
Shriek finds herself flying face-first into the turnbuckle instead!
Before she can recover, she's driven into the turnbuckles by Charlie hitting
her with a cross body block across Shriek's back!
Shriek collapses, and Charlie, exhausted by her desperation maneuver, cannot
recover to capitalize. Both women lay on the mat, barely moving.
Meanwhile, outside the ring, Peacemaker is taking Svante on a tour of the
ringside area, taking pains to bang the Swede's head upon any hard, flat
surface they come across: The crowd barrier, the ring apron, the
announcer's table, and the steel steps. After that last shot, Svenny
collapses, his body draped across the steps. Peacemaker regards Svante's
body for a moment, then casts his eyes upward to the steel ring post almost
directly overhead. A sick smile plays on his lips.
Climbing up into the ring, Peacemaker begins to scale the turnbuckles, finally
standing on the top rope, regarding the unconscious Svenny. Then he points
down at his opponent and makes ready to jump. He's going to drive Svenny
right into the stairs!
But Svenny rolls off! Instead, Peacemaker hits the steel stairs with a
leg drop, and no unconscious victim to cushion him! Clutching at one
leg, Peacemaker rolls off of the steps, biting back the screams of pain as
tears
well in his tightly-clenched eyes.
All four competitors are down! The ref can't begin a ten count,
becausestreet fight rules don't allow for disqualifications! The fans start
stomping in the seats, literally drumming up support for Svante and Charlie.
But it's Shriek who gets up first, having only had the wind knocked out of
her. She picks up Charlie by the hair and props her up in the corner
again. Throwing hard rights and lefts, Shriek goes to work on Charlie's
midsection!
Just then, Svante recovers enough to roll into the ring! He taps Shriek
onthe shoulder, and, when she turns around, nails her with a perfectly
executed spinning heel kick! Grabbing Shriek by the hair, Svante
clenches his fist to dole out more punishment to Shriek - but stops.
Svenny is a ladies' man at heart, and, seeing Shriek's beautiful face, he
can't bring himself to damage her.
Charlie, of course, has no such compunctions. Pushing Svenny aside, she
climbs up onto the top rope, ready to dish out more punishment to the Haven
member.
Suddenly, the ropes shake! Charlie loses her balance and falls backward,
taking a nasty hit on the head from the crowd barrier! As Svenny leaps
to
his feet to check on her condition, Shriek makes a swift recovery and
drives a fist into Svante's crotch! Svante doubles over as Peacemaker, who had
pulled on the ropes to trip Charlie up, limps into the ring. Despite his
pain, he manages to hit Svante with a devastating DDT! He goes for the
cover: 1 . . . 2 . . . 3!
It's over! The Haven takes this one! Shriek lets Peacemaker lean on her as he limps on his bad leg, but both of them have fists raised in victory!
But wait! Two figures just
came out of the crowd and slid into the ring! It's the Damned Yankee and
Tracy! Before the pair from the Haven can evenreact, the Damned Couple
are all over them like white on rice! The Yankeehits Peacemaker with a
powerful clothesline, and Tracy catches Shriek withthe Dammit Janet!
Both Haven members are laid out as the Yankee and Tracyraise their hands to
the roar of the approving crowd! Then Tracy shoves the Yankee.
Tracy: Pookie!
The Yankee: What?
Tracy looks around before pointing at the ring apron.
Tracy: Get the tables!
The Damned Couple slide out of the ring on opposite sides and lift up the ring
skirt! Before you know it, two tables are in the ring and being setup!
The Yankee lays Peacemaker across one, while Tracy sets Shriek up on the
other, then the Damned Couple start climbing the turnbuckles. Upon
reaching the top, they flash the "I love you" sign at each other,
then they jump! The Yankee drives his elbow through Peacemaker's midsection,
while Tracy executes a perfect Superfly Leap! The tables crack asunder,
as Peacemaker's and Shriek's bodies are broken in half!
The Yankee and Tracy roll off of their victims, and embrace in the center of
the ring! Agnostic Front's "Gotta Go" blasts through the
speakers as the Yankee holds the ropes open for Tracy.
Arm in arm, the Damned Couple make their way up the ramp as the show goes
again to commercial.
WINNER: Peacemaker
and Shriek
Phenom
vs Torch (non
title-Phenom sets rules)
Coming back, the scene on camera
is an old warehouse by the docks. Several TFWF officials are standing
by, waiting for the Phenom's arrival. They don't have to wait long, as
the man steps out of a taxi cab. After paying the driver, he goes to
meet the officials. The man in charge is a familiar face to longtime
TFWF viewers: Senior Referee James Riordan.
Riordan: Phenom! Before you go in, I want you to be aware of the
rules.
Phenom: Fine. Make it quick.
Riordan: As per your stipulation, this is an empty warehouse match.
You and Torch will be the only men allowed inside of the warehouse, and
this main door behind us is the only way in or out of the warehouse. All
other exits have been sealed and are guarded by TFWF security. The first
man to exit the warehouse is the winner. Understand?
Phenom: Yeah, I get it. So where's Torch? I want to get this
party started.
Riordan: Uh . . . he's already inside.
Phenom: WHAT?
Riordan: We couldn't stop him! He just rushed right past us!
Phenom: ----ing hell! Out of the way!
The Phenom shoves Riordan aside and throws open the door to the warehouse.
The camera cuts to the warehouse's interior. We can see the Phenom's
form
silhouetted in the doorway.
Phenom: TORCH! SHOW YOURSELF!
Phenom's only answer is the echoes of his own voice. The camera pulls
back, and we can see the dimly-lit interior of the warehouse. Though
abandoned, crates, pallets, and other junk and clutter are still scattered
around the place.
Without a second's hesitation, Phenom steps in and closes the door. He
stands still for a few moments, allowing his eyes to adjust to the low light.
Then he steps forward with resolve, determined to ferret Torch out.
He spins at the sound of grinding wheels, only to be caught in the chest by a
massive block and tackle! Phenom stumbles to the ground, as Torch
emerges from the shadows carrying a heavy crowbar! Phenom rolls out of
the way as the hook end of the crowbar gouges out a chunk of concrete
flooring, right where Phenom's head had been!
The Phenom is fast on his feet, though, and before Torch could bring his
weapon to bear again, Phenom had already gotten inside of his swing arc and
delivered a powerful knee to the gut!
The crowbar clangs to the floor as Torch loses his grip on the weapon.
Phenom continues to press his advantage by clubbing Torch on the back of the
neck. Torch's knees buckle, but he responds by elbowing Phenom in the
gut, and follows up with a big right to the jaw!
Phenom staggers back as Torch quickly searches around for his crowbar, but
between the trash on the floor and the gloom, he cannot locate it.
When he looks up again, the Phenom has disappeared.
Warily, Torch backs away from where he'd last seen his opponent.
Cautiously at first, he begins walking toward the exit. His confidence
grows with each step, and soon he's going at a sprint.
He stops short when he hears the sound of creaking wood. A pile of
pallets is toppling, and Torch is right in its path! Torch dives and
hits the floor as the heavy wooden pallets come tumbling, smashing against the
floor! Had Torch not made that leap, he would have been crushed!
But before he can get his bearings, Phenom leaps over the pile of broken wood
and lays into Torch with some serious stomping! Torch can't get to his
feet! Phenom is putting the boots to him, frustrating any attempt to
get up!
Unexpectedly, Torch spins on the ground, catches Phenom's foot, and twists,
sending Phenom to the ground as the tables are unexpectedly turned!
Torch converts his hold into an anklelock, and smiles a sadistic smile as he
watches Phenom struggle and squirm in the grip! He continues to bear
down on the pressure, and it becomes very clear that his intention is to
break Phenom's leg!
But before that can happen, Phenom grabs a piece of broken pallet, a heavy bit
of two-by-four, and swings it behind his back. The wild shot catches
Torch square in the temple, busting him open right over his left eye!
Torch falls back, and Phenom, though limping, is right on top of him, taking
big swings and bringing the two-by-four right down on Torch's back!
After three big hits, Phenom tosses the board aside and pulls Torch to his
feet, setting him up for an Irish whip. Torch goes for the ride and
literally bounces off of one of the building's steel support columns!
Phenom grabs Torch's head again and attempts to ram him into the steel again,
but Torch gets his foot up, stops the momentum, and reverses the move, and
it's Phenom who gets a taste of the steel!
Now Phenom has a nasty cut on his forehead as well, and both men are wearing
the "crimson mask". Groggy from the impact with the column,
Phenom gets put on the receiving end of another Irish whip, this one sending
him into a pile of wooden crates.
Torch looks around and smiles as Phenom struggles to his feet. Torch
reaches into his pocket and pulls something small out of it.
Torch: I had a little time to get ready for you, Phenom! Hope you
appreciate the trouble I went to!
There's a click, and Torch reveals his little surprise to be a lit lighter.
The camera flicks around quickly. The viewer can see the empty kerosene
cans laying on their sides, and the big puddle of liquid surrounding the area
where Phenom is standing.
Torch: Time to feel the BURN!
Torch throws the lighter onto the floor! Instantly, the kerosene goes
up! Phenom, staggering from the sudden rush of heat, struggles to climb
the crates, attempting to reach one of the warehouse windows fifteen feet off
of the ground!
He's struggling with the security grate when the flames obscure him from view.
Torch, for his part, stands and watches the flames for a few moments, then
jogs to the main entrance as the building begins to fill with smoke. The
cameraman sprints ahead, partly to get the shot of Torch leaving the building,
but mostly to get the hell out himself!
Torch strides out of the warehouse, his smile made hideous by the layer of red
covering his face. James Riordan raises Torch's hand and declares him
the winner.
But where's Phenom? As the fire grows in intensity, there's no sign of
the man. Did he escape, or . . .?
WINNER: Torch
Insane Asylum vs Tremere/Killboy (rangers rules tag match)
The show goes to commercial
again, and coming back, we see Samson and Mahoney McMillan at the announcer's
table.
Samson: We're back, with a couple of updates. First off, all four
participants in the Love Shack/Haven street fight have been taken to the
hospital for examination, and we'll update you on their conditions as the
information becomes available.
Mahoney: It's been a brutal night tonight on Monday Mayhem, more than
living up to its name!
Samson: And we take you back to the warehouse where Phenom and torch
have just completed one of the damnedest matches I've ever seen!
Mahoney: Hey, are you even allowed to talk like that?
The camera cuts to the side of the warehouse, where the cameraman is coming
around the side of the building. The cameraman himself is keeping a
running commentary.
Cameraman: The whole building's going up now. I can't say I fancy
Phenom's chances here . . .
The cameraman's monologue is interrupted by the sound of breaking glass.
Cameraman: What was that?
The cameraman sprints around the corner of the building and pans up.
Ugly, black smoke is pouring out of a broken window. Tongues of flame
can be seen flicking from the hole.
Cameraman: Does this mean the Phenom has gotten out? I don't want
to offer false hope. After all, that window could have been broken by
the heat, and - here, what's this?
There are pieces of broken glass on the street, covered with blood. A
trail leads off into the darkness.
Cameraman: He's out! The Phenom got out! But where is -?
The cameraman is interrupted by an animalistic snarl. The viewers get a
glimpse of a man covered in blood with bits of glass sticking out of his
body and a wild look in his eyes. We hear a thud, then the picture goes black.
Cut back to the arena. Samson and Mahoney are staring at the T.A. Tron
with looks of utter shock on their faces.
Samson: Lord have mercy . . .
Mahoney: Yeah, what you said.
Samson (clearing his throat): Uh, we'll have to again say that we'll
update you on that situation as the information reaches us. Up next, uh,
up next is . . .
Mahoney: The Ranger's Rules match.
Samson: Oh, no! More carnage?
Mahoney: Hey, the name of the show is Monday Mayhem, not Monday Good
Sportsmanlike Conduct!
Samson: Well, the TFWF road crew has just set up the Ranger's Rules cage
and the Damned Yankee himself, in his expert capacity, has overseen the
placement of the explosives.
Mahoney: It's common knowledge that he wants no margin for error as far
as those explosives go, Samson! After all, as everyone knows, it was an
overabundance of explosives in this exact same kind of match that scarred the
Yankee's former friend, Night Hawk, for life!
Samson: And to add more blood to the history of this most dangerous of
matches, this is the match that took the life of both Projectile and Flying
Richard Flener when they attempted a run-in.
Mahoney: And no one's attempted a run-in on this match since! Even
Jimmy Simpson, King of the Run-Ins, wouldn't be crazy enough to run toward a
ticking bomb!
Killboy's music plays as the former CEO and Tremere make their way down to the
ramp, revelling in the boos of the fans. After an exaggerated exchange
of "After you", "No, after you", "No please, I insist
. . ." etc., etc., the two men enter the cage. After doing so,
their demeanor changes. Being inside a Ranger's Rules cage, with its
barbed wire for ropes, C4 turnbuckles, and the strands of concertina wire
strung around the top, is a sobering experience for anyone.
Then, the crowd gives a big pop as the Insane Asylum enters to Hellbound's
music. Apocalypse and Creeper, no strangers to wrestling at its
extremes, appear to relish the ordeal ahead of them.
As soon as they enter the ring, the door is closed behind them, locked, and a
worker with a blowtorch welds the doorframe shut. The only way out is
now up.
Also, as the door closes, a timer appears on the screen of the viewers at
home. It reads: "15:00" and begins tiking backward.
Originally billed as a tag team match, it's pretty clear that no referee is
willing to step into the cage with the two teams. So instead, fans will
be treated to a match by tornado tag rules: All four men in the ring at
once.
The Asylum and Rezerection waste no time, going at it toe-to-toe in the center
of the ring, Apocalypse on Killboy and Creeper on Tremere. Apocalypse
whips Kilboy into the corner, but Killboy catches himself, jumping up, cutting
his hands on the barbed wire rather than letting the explosives go off, and
letting Apocalypse pass under him. Apocalypse, too, stops himself before
impacting on the C4, but Killboy, who lands behind him, delivers a big
superkick to the small of Apocalypse's back, driving him into the explosives!
There's a flash and smoke as Apocalypse staggers back, clutching his face!
Meanwhile, Creeper is getting the better of his exchange with Tremere,
catching him with a toe kick to the gut, followed by a bulldog that drives
Tremere's face into the mat! Creeper picks up the momentarily-stunned
Tremere and hangs him over the lower strand of wire, just before backing up,
running, and jumping, landing on Tremere and driving the sharp spikes of the
barbed wire into Tremere's flesh!
Unfortunately, Creeper is so intent upon causing Tremere pain that he failed
to notice Killboy coming up behind him until it was too late, and Creeper got
caught in a reversed DDT!
Quickly, Killboy gets back to his feet and grabs Tremere by the legs.
Falling backwards, Killboy executes a perfect overhead leg throw, which
results in Creeper getting tossed right into the wire!
Killboy's exultation is short-lived, however, when Apocalypse, bleeding and
with minor burns on his face and chest, catches Killboy with a brutal
clothesline! Killboy goes down, Apocalypse grabs him, and runs the
former
CEO's face across the top wire! All four men are now bleeding profusely!
Tremere clubs Apocalypse from behind, and Killboy rolls away from his
attacker, only to meet Creeper, who greets him with a stomp to the face and
then, unbelievably, proceeds to bite Killboy's forehead, opening his
wounds up even more!
Killboy fights back, though, after giving Creeper a thumb to the eye.
Killboy grabs Creeper's head and bounces it off of the mat! He does it
again! And again! Then, he grabs Creeper in a wristlock, and
proceeds to whip him into the turnbuckle opposite the one Apocalypse hit!
The explosives go off, and Creeper falls to the ground, out of the fight for
the moment.
Killboy turns his attention to Apocalypse, who is holding his own battling
with Tremere. But all bets are off when Killboy catches the remaining
Hellbound member in a neckbeaker drop, and both Killboy and Tremere go to work
on their remaining opponent!
Killboy signals for Tremere to go up, which he does, climbing one of the
previously-exploded turnbuckles as Killboy props Apocalypse up over his knee.
Tremere comes down with a powerful leg drop that nearly cuts Apocalypse in
half! Both Hellbound members are down!
Killboy and Tremere high-five each other, and play a bit to the booing crowd
before beginning their ascent up the walls of the cage.
But before they can begin to negotiate the concertina wire, both men feel
pulls on their legs. The Insane Asylum are back up! Both men literally
pull their opponents off of the walls of the cage! Tremere and Killboy
land back in the ring with a thud!
And wait! What's happening? Creeper has Tremere! It looks
like . . . yes! The Last Ride to Hell! And Apocalypse has set up
the Fall of Man on Killboy!
They hit it! Rezerection is down and the crowd is going nuts! The
Insane Asylum punch fists together and begin climbing opposite walls of the
cage!
But the slowdown comes when they reach the wire! Concertina wire, also
known as razor wire, can shred a man's flesh if he's not careful.
Creeper and Apocalypse pick their way gingerly through the coils of wire, but
the
time delay proves critical: Tremere and Killboy are recovering!
Tremere appears ready to go after Apocalypse, but Killboy stops him, pointing
instead to Creeper. Tremere nods in understanding, as each man grabs a
leg on Creeper and pulls!
Creeper comes crashing back down, tearing his arm on the razor wire and adding
to the blood that's already half-covered his body!
Apocalypse, meanwhile, has scaled the cage! After he drops to the
ground, he raises his hands in victory, assuming that Creeper is also out.
But when he turns around to look into the cage, he's shocked to realize that
not only is Creeper still in the cage, but he's at the mercy of Tremere and
Killboy!
A referee stops Apocalypse before he can start climbing back into the ring!
According to the rules, Apocalypse is already out of the match, and cannot
legally re-enter the cage, and in order to win, both members of one team must
make it out! Apocalypse fumes, as all he can do is watch his teammate
deal with his two opponents in what has suddenly become a handicap match!
Tremere pulls Creeper into a camel clutch, one that's broken as Killboy
dropkicks Creeper in the face! Leisurely, taking their time, the
Rezerection team taunts Apocalypse as they set Creeper up for a double DDT!
Apocalypse is rattling he walls of the cage, desperate to distract Killboy and
Tremere, but it's no good. Rezerection is confident and pacing
themselves with their easy advantage.
Killboy holds Creeper steady in the center of the ring, as Tremere backs up
into a corner, ready to deliver a running punch to the Hellbound wrestler.
But Creeper gets his foot up! Tremere runs into a big boot and staggers
back, falling right into an unexploded turnbuckle! The C4 goes off,
nearly taking Tremere's head with it! Tremere falls down, out for keeps,
this
time!
Killboy is shocked at the sudden turn of events, and loses his grip on
Creeper, who thanks him by putting him in another Last Ride to Hell! Now
Killboy is down!
Creeper is climbing the walls of the cage! He's almost up . . . He's up!
He's over! The crowd is going mad as Creeper falls to the ground and the
bell rings!
And just in time, too, as the counter on the T.A. Tron ticks down: "00:05
.. .4 . . . 3 . . . 2 . . .1 . . .0!"
The explosion hits! The cage begins to buckle and fall inward as Tremere
and Killboy disappear in the smoke and wreckage! EMT's rush past the
Insane Asylum, along with a specially detailed rescue crew to clear away the
wreckage and let the losers of the match receive medical attention!
Bloody and battered, but still triumphant, Creeper and Apocalypse raise their
fists in victory to the crowd!
