Thursday Torcher- Winchester, Virginia

 

 

Thursday Torcher starts of with a blitz of fireworks and cheers. The walls of the arena are lined with screaming fans, and giant poster boards. Scoop and Snoop start off with their commentary.

Scoop: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Thursday Torcher. We should be in for an interesting night as members of the Firm and the Haven seem to come to a collision. The Earl of Cleveland…

Snoop: The Earl of Idiot Ville as we call him now a days…

Scoop: Well, whatever, he has sanctioned two major matches tonight, one pitting Nemesis and Torch for the European Title and the other pitting three members of the Four Corners, against the Hardcore Haven’s “Hit men” and Millennium.

Snoop: I am telling you, that Earl has lost his noggin’

Scoop: REGARDLESS of what YOU think, let’s start this night off already with the match having Allies, ready to get back into action against the Kamikaze Klan.

ALLIES VS KAMIKAZE KLAN

The Allies have made it to the ring, and a looking in good shape as the Kamikaze Klan break from the back. The come running full speed at the ring, and slide in. The Allies are actually taken back from the sudden rush, and dive out of the ring in a bit of confusion.

Fak-Chui calls for a mic, and speaks.


F: We remember, you take away titles from Klan, we seek revenge.

Fak throws the mic at the Lion, and the Allies look at each other. They both slide in and instantly start attacking the Klan with punches. The Allies whip the Klan into the ropes, and both connect with a power slam. Then a double leg drop, followed by another whip into the ropes. This time the Allies connect with hurricanranas, sending the Klan flying through the ropes. The Allies get pumped up in the ring, as the Klan compose themselves. The Klan yells at each other a bit, Ninja holding his head, but then they resolve to jump in the ring. They are instantly met with a pair of forearms, and are sent back to the floor. The Klan then argues a bit more, and resorts to entering the ring from opposite sides. They jump on the apron, and both get caught with a suplex to the inside. The Allies pick them up, and then whip the Klan into each other, their heads smacking against each other. Lion grabs Ninja, and tosses him to Phills, who connects with a power slam. He then runs to the ropes, and bounces back with a hard elbow to the chest. Lion grabs Fak and picks him up over his head in a press slam. Phills jumps on the turnbuckle, and awaits the slam. Down goes Fak, and Phills jumps off with a splash. He goes for the pin 1……2……kick out. The ref by now has given up all hope on trying to get these people in their corners, and just allows a no tag format. The Ninja has managed to get up, runs and dropkicks Lion in the back. Lion stumbles into Phills, and knocks him out of the ring. Ninja then grabs Lion in a Reverse hurricanrana with a pin! 1……2….kick out. Ninja kicks Lion a few times, and grabs his arm in an pump handle. He gives the arm a few hard arm-ripping tugs, and then wraps him up in roll up pin 1……2…kick out. The Ninja then tosses Lion into the ropes, as Fak jumps onto the turnbuckles and flies out of the ring, and connects a dropkick on Phills! Lion comes back, ducks a clothesline attempt, and returns with a Crushing front dropkick, right to the face of Ninja! Ninja’s head slams on the floor from the impact, and Lion goes to the top turnbuckle. He jumps and lands a moonsault, and goes for the pin 1…..2…….3

WINNERS by PIN: ALLIES

Scoop: Well, our next match is already under way in the back!

Radcliffe vs. Ultimate Scally

We see Scally slamming Radcliffe’s head into everything in the hallway. A soda machine, coffee machines, a cream pie, and a few smacks from a garbage can. Radcliffe is stumbling, and Scally grabs a broom. He swings it at Radcliffe’s back, and splits it across Radcliffe. Another smack and another and another, and Radcliffe is crawling to the outside. Scally goes and grabs a hose, and wraps it around Radcliffe’s neck. He starts to choke Radcliffe, and drags him to the outside. The crowd starts to react as we see Scally dragging Radcliffe down the ramp to the ring. He lets go of the hose, and connects Radcliffe with a DDT. The ref goes to the outside, and attempts to get the two men in the ring, but to no avail. Scally slams Radcliffe into the guardrail, then into the apron, then into the guardrail, then again into the apron, and finishes it off with a hard knee to the gut. Radcliffe is struggling to stand, and Scally tosses him down towards the announcer’s area. He grabs a steel chair, and starts to go to work on Radcliffe. Radcliffe is smacked in the head with the chair, and falls to the floor. Scally smacks him again, and again, as Radcliffe rolls around, trying to avoid the shots. Scally tosses away the chair, grabs Radcliffe. The ref still tries to get them in the ring, and officially start the match, but yet again nothing. Radcliffe is set up in a power bomb, and Scally stares at the crowd, as he points to the announcer’s booth, which is Scoop and Snoop’s cue to leave the area. Radcliffe suddenly lets out a gigantic roar, reverses the power bomb into a giant backdrop into the announcer’s table! Scally slams through, and lies hurt, as Radcliffe falls to his hands and knees, catching his breath. He gets up and grabs Scally, tossing him into the ring, and the ref can finally get the match officially started. The bell rings. Radcliffe tosses Scally into the ropes, and lands a hard belly-to-belly suplex. He then connects again with a standing splash. He stands up Scally, who is now dazed, and lifts him on his shoulders! He comes down hard with the Eradicator!!!. Radcliffe goes for the pin 1…..2….3

THE T.F.W.F cuts too commercial:

We see a shot of Killboy holding the book: 101 Death Matches.

A various shots of different Death Match mayhem.

A sign appears : ON SALE NOW AT ALL MAJOR BOOK STORES!

The camera is back on Scoop and Snoop:

Scoop: Well, here is a match that I would close my eyes for.

Snoop: What are you TALKING about? This is going to be so much FUN!

Scoop: Right, fun, it’s as fair as having a blind man playing dodgeball. Ten times more dangerous than that. DAMN that Earl.

NO DQ

AOD vs. Crud

Crud walks to the ring, and the crowd celebrates. He enters the ring, and does a few arm raises, as he awaits the AOD. The AOD’s music blares, and they walk out from the back with smiles on their faces. Crud stands is ground, but looks slightly uneasy. The AOD makes it to ringside, and each go in through opposite sides. Crud is in the middle, and is waiting for the attack. It comes at him hard. A dropkick from Vagan, into a backdrop from Carnage. Crud is dazed. The AOD, waste no time. They send the Light weight into the ropes, and a double power bomb soon follows, then a double suplex. Carnage places Crud on Vagan’s shoulders, and climbs the ropes.

Scoop: OH MY GOD, WHAT ARE THEY DOING!?!

The AOD go and land the Blackout from the top rope. Crud is pulverized, and the AOD each place a foot on Crud’s chest. Suddenly out from the crowd comes Naldo! He comes in and lands a Power of Naldo on each member of the AOD!!! He grabs Crud and lays him across each AOD member. The referee goes for the count as Naldo goes back up the ring. 1….2……3!! The ref picks up Crud, and attempts to raise his hand, but he just falls to the floor as the paramedics walk from the back.

WINNER by PIN: Crud

As Naldo walks to the back, we suddenly see The Peacemaker and X come from the back with chairs! They both slam the chairs on Naldo’s legs and head! Peacemaker grabs Naldo’s head and arm in a Triangle Choke and X clamps on the Figure X!!

Scoop: The Haven’s Hitmen have Naldo in what they call the Inquisition!!!!

Naldo is turning colors, and tapping on the floor, as the two members of the Haven let go of the move. Pimp In comes from the back and starts attacking the Peacemaker and then X. Peacemaker ducks and slams a forearm into Pimp. He grabs Pimp from behind, and X goes for a sidekick, right when Pimp ducks! X slams the kick into Peacemaker and Pimp picks up Naldo as X watches Peacemaker get up and start yelling. Pimp is about to attack them , but suddenly Peacemaker punches X and X punches Peacemaker!!

Scoop: It’s obvious that these two have a some kinks to work out of their relationship, and now with the rumors of the T.F.W.F title Tournament pretty much true, they are both looking to see who will go for that title in name of their faction. Personally, I hope they kick the crap out of each other. This little tussle should make the tag match REAL interesting.

The Haven comes out and separate the two. Each giving each other dirty looks.

2K grabs each man and reminds them to let whatever happens, happen, and concentrate on the tag match tonight. Maker and X nod their heads, and give each other a shake, and the Haven walks backstage. 

The T.F.W.F cuts to commercial:

We see a shot of a pink Cadillac cruising down Sunset Blvd in Hollywood, California. The popping 70’s style disco music shoots out the words

Monkey, who’s the MONKEY…Money-Monkey…Money-Monkey…

We see a shot of Kevin in the drivers seat with huge shades on his face, and three other female chimps in the front and back seat wearing bathing suits and blonde wigs.

Kevin holds up a bag of  Nestle Monkey Snacks. The camera zooms in and out of his smiling face and the bag of snacks. The female chimps surround him as the song ends with a Austin Powers finish of Kevin, the Chick-Chimps, and the Monkey Snacks.

MONKEY SNACKS YEAH!!

EUROPEAN TITLE: Torch (c) VS Nemesis

The crowd goes to a booing rage as the arena dims for the entrance of Nemesis. The goliath of a wrestler stalks to the ring, and enters it slowly, staring down Jaycee Hall. Suddenly, the red fireballs burst, as the sounds of Lithium blares through the speakers, and out from the back steps Torch.

He looks at Nemesis a little weary as he enters the ring. He hands his overcoat and title to the side, and steps in the ring. Nemesis stares at him. The bell tolls and Torch quickly shoots across with a dropkick, but is flung to the side by Nemesis. Torch looks at the big man, and bounces of the ropes, this time landing a flying hook kick on Nemesis, who was expecting a dropkick. Torch quickly lands a few shots and tosses him into the ropes. Torch lands a running neck breaker, then a quick knee to the head. He goes into the ropes again, but is brought down by a devastating clothesline on Nemesis. Nemesis picks up Torch and slams him down. He drops a hard elbow, and goes for a cover …1…Torch kicks. Nemesis tosses Torch into the ropes and nails a power slam. He chokes Torch on the floor, and ref makes him break the hold. He tosses Torch again, and goes for a shoulder toss only to be kick in the head by Torch. Torch then lands a quick DDT. He picks up Nemesis, and lands a hard belly-to-belly suplex. Torch goes for the cover, and Nemesis throws him off at 1. Torch quickly runs from each side of the ring, bouncing off of the rope and connecting with a diving forearm, a spinning leg scissors, a hurricanrana, and lastly a flying cross body. Nemesis catches Torch on the cross body, and tosses him back in a fall away slam. Torch’s picks up so much momentum, that he falls out of the ring. Nemesis catches a breather, and then follows Torch out. Torch is getting up, and is hit with a double axe handle. Nemesis picks him up and whips Torch into the guardrail. He then goes to crush Torch with a hard boot, but Torch moves out of the way, clips Nemesis ankle, and causes the monster to fall face first on top of the railing! Torch quickly wastes no time to run into the ring, run across it, and come back with a suicide dive on the big man!!! He gets up slowly, as Nemesis is clutching his head, having it bounce against the rail. Torch goes under the ring and pulls out a long fluorescent light bulb! The ref jumps out of the ring, and grabs the light of Torch’s hands! He yells at Torch saying that this is a European title match, not a Hardcore Match. Torch is disgusted and tosses the ref to one side. This allowed Nemesis to come up with a hard crashing clothesline on Torch as he was getting up. Nemesis uses the bulb on TORCH! He slams it against Torch’s head, instantly cutting his forehead! Torch clutches his face, we see a gruesome shot of a piece of the light bulb stuck in Torch’s forehead! Nemesis shoves the timekeeper out of the way, and grabs a chair. He walks behind Torch, and goes to slam the chair, but is met with a low blow. He drops the chair, and Torch kicks him in the gut, and lands a pile driver on Nemesis right on the steel chair! Torch rolls the big man into the ring, and then tosses in the ref as well. He goes for a cover…1……2…. Nemesis kicks out. Torch quickly climbs the ropes, and waits for Nemesis to get up. He then delivers a great missile dropkick on the big man! Torch goes for the cover again, and again Nemesis kicks out at two. Torch starts pounding on Nemesis’ head with lefts. He then gets up and tosses Nemesis into the ropes. Torch is caught in a choke slam! He quickly pokes Nemesis in the eye, and tosses the big man into the corner. Torch then comes flying in with a hard front dropkick slamming into Nemesis skull! The big man leans against the ropes, and Torch jumps in front, he signals a super-hurricanrana! Nemesis stands up, and Torch is sitting on top of Nemesis shoulders! He starts pounding on the big man’s head, but then is brought down when Nemesis falls forward into a pancake slam! Nemesis sits on the floor holding his head, and catching his breath. Torch is laying with arms and legs spread out. Nemesis goes for a pin, 1…..2…..Torch throws a leg onto the ropes. Nemesis gets up, and picks up Torch, he tosses him into the ropes. He goes for a tile a whirl slam, but Torch uses the momentum, swoops up on Nemesis, and turns it into a Swing DDT! Both men are on the floor, as Torch puts a hand on Nemesis, completely exhausted, and still bleeding. 1…..2……Nemesis kicks out.  Nemesis got up, turned around and hit Torch with the Unearthly Consequences and got the three count.

Winner: Nemesis by Pin

The camera cuts to a shot of the back of the Management talking with Colleen.

M: Listen, just do me a favor, go out there with them and try to make these boys understand that they cannot fight. I mean, I am going to be here looking to hit Earl a few times for this, but see if you can do something.

C: Ok, but I don’t know how much I can do, I mean, they are all awfully hot headed.

M: Yeah, but at least you can be there to ward off Shriek or something. You know she can be very manipulative.

C: Ok, Ill try.

Back at the arena we see Scoop and Snoop discussing the match.

Scoop: Well here is a match I am looking forward to. We have the majority of the Management’s men in one ring, and they are facing each other.

Snoop: Well, Earl wanted ratings, he got it didn’t he? WHOM else would you want to boost ratings?  

Scoop: Oh, I don’t know, what about Pimp In… Angel….Grunt…Naldo…the Insane Asylum…JayVee?

Snoop: You just don’t like the Firm, that’s all.


Scoop: Wow, you really got that all by yourself. Boy, I am impressed.

INVADER/GREMLIN/YOUNG vs. MAKER/X/2K

We see 3 out of the 4 corners come from the back, with Colleen at their side. They make their way to the ring to the Firm Courts music, and celebrate in their greatness. The crowd gives the usual BOOMING heat, and they seem to be pleased. Suddenly the arena darkens, and we hear Night Hawk’s MUSIC!! The walking-talking-straight jacket walks out from the backstage, and give a pose for the crowd to hate. The other members of the Four Corners look happy to see him, and Invader even lifts the rope to allow the Hawk in.


The Management is seen on the Tron and he look livid.


M: WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHIT!?

Hawk makes it to the ring and a bunch of high fives are everywhere. Then after the celebration, the arena is smothered by the sounds of the Hardcore Haven. Millennium, X, Peacemaker and Shriek make their way down the ramp. They get into the ring, and the stare down starts. Nighthawk calls for a mic.

But before he can speak, the Management comes down the ring.

M: WOAH WHAT THE HELL are YOU doing in this!? Hawk, this is NOT what I want, I want you to get the HELL out of there RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!

NH: WOAH WOAH. I am not here for this, I am just here to watch. AND to tell that stupid, wannabe-wrestler, Angel, that I want to DESTROY him in a STEEL cage match at the PPV. That’s right, you sorry, ugly, pompous, over-rated, rotten, girlie, wish-he-held the title excuse for a WRESTLER!!! You are nothing but a pimple on a pig’s shit-covered ass!!! Why don’t you just go and shove your head up your….


Suddenly we hear Fall from Grace, and Angel runs from the crowd with a pipe! He comes flying into the ring, and all of the wrestlers except Hawk, bail to the side. Angel swings the pipe and misses, Hawk kicks him causing him to drop the pipe, and slug fest starts.

Outside all of the wrestler look at each other, and go under the ring. They all come out with 2x4’S!!!!! 

Scoop. OH MY GOD!! IT’S A TRAP!!! IT’S A TRAP!!! ANGEL WAS CAUGHT IN A TRAP!!!

They swoop in from all sides, and start attacking the Hellbound leader with the 2x4’s!!! Angel is being pounded on, and Hawk laughs along with the Management! Strike after strike is inflicted, and then they all drop the 2x4’s on top of Angel’s bleeding body. The four Corners raise their hands in triumph, but the Haven stares. The Management has a big smile on his face, then suddenly Earl emerges from the back. The Management is about to thank Earl, when suddenly, the Hardcore Haven look at each other and ATTACK the Four corners!!! The Match begins!!!!

Peacemaker shoves Hawk and Management out of the ring and grabs Tiger Young! X is on the Gremlin, and Millennium and Invader are going at it! Shriek lands the Bitch Kick on Colleen, sending her flying!! The ref is completely confused as he was ready to go home, and then runs back into the ring calling for the bell!! Tiger and Peacemaker are in a grappling exhibition, X and Gremlin are going punch for punch, and Invader with 2K have tumbled over the ropes and out of the ring!! Angel is still in the middle of the ring laying hurt, as the riot happens around him! Apocalypse comes from the back, with chair ready, and swats Hawk and Management to the floor, then hits both Maker and Tiger in the heads at the same time! The ref looks pleases, and happily calls for the bell, as Apocalypse clears the ring. He stands over Angel, and curses at the members of the Firm Court.

NO WINNERS: DOUBLE DQ

The camera fades on the literally “fallen” Angel, and the Apocalypse standing over the 2x4’s with chair in hand. As the Haven and the Firm stare at each other from across the ring, at ring side.
