With the match over Onlee picks up the Intercontinental Title and holds it in his hands as Wong stands up. He looks furious as Onlee looks longingly at the Title belt before throwing it to Wong. Onlee and Wong have an intense stare down as Onlee makes his way out of the ring and to the back.
SC: Dorian Wong has retained his Intercontinental Title but it’s all thanks to James Onlee! Could we be seeing the first cracks showing in the Unholy Alliance?
SJ: Wong didn’t look happy and when he finds out Onlee won the match for him, I’m sure he’s going to be even more angry. Plus Mitchell had that match won until Onlee showed up, he might be a goody two shoes, but he’s sure to be pissed about that!
SC: I don’t think that’s the end of the issue between these three men and you know Tremere isn’t done with Onlee and Wong, even if he can’t wrestle for the foreseeable future.
(ACTION GOES BACKSTAGE.)
(THE SHOT OPENS UP BACKSTAGE ONCE AGAIN, THIS TIME IN THE LOCKER ROOM OF CIVIL UNREST. EXILE WALKS INTO THE LOCKER ROOM ALONE, AND TAKES A QUICK LOOK AROUND TO FIND THAT NONE OF HIS FELLOW STABLE MATES ARE HERE, NOT EVEN ROAD BLOCK. HE SHRUGS HIS SHOULDERS, AND CONTINUES TO HIS LOCKER. UPON REACHING HIS SECTION HE FINDS A PLAIN BROWN ENVELOPE TAPED TO THE DOOR.
WITH A CONFUSED LOOK OVER HIS FACE HE RIPS IT OFF AND OPENS IT UP. FROM INSIDE EXILE PULLS OUT VERY POORLY DOCTORED PICTURES OF JOSE RAMON’S SISTER, CHRISTINA OUT WITH OTHER MEN LIKE BRAD PITT, AND MEL GIBSON, AND JOHN GOODMAN. EXILE FINDS THEN THAT THERE IS A NOTE LEFT IN THE ENVELOPE. HE PULLS IT OUT AND FINDS THAT RAMON HAS ORDERED HIM TO BACK OFF OF HIS SISTER BEFORE HE REALLY GETS ANGRY.
THE REACTION FROM EXILE IS INSTANTANEOUS AS HE CRUMPLES THE NOTE AND PICTURES AND THROWS THEM ON THE GROUND. SUDDENLY HE GOES BERSERK, AND STARTS TRASHING THE LOCKER ROOM FROM SHEER FRUSTRATION. A FEW SECONDS PASS AND TANK AND BRANDON WATKINS ENTER THE LOCKER ROOM, TALKING AND JOKING AROUND. THEY SEE THEIR STABLE MATE TEARING THE SHIT OUT OF THE LOCKER ROOM AND RUN OVER TO HIM, AND SUBDUE HIM. TANK WRAPS HIS ARMS AROUND EXILE AND PICKS HIM UP OFF THE GROUND.)
EX: Put me down TaNK!
(TANK SHAKES HIS HEAD.)
TK: Not ‘til you calm yourself down there, Exile. What’s up?
(EXILE TRIES TO STRUGGLE FREE BUT THE ENFORCER OF THE GROUP HAS HIS GRIP LOCKED.)
EX: Put me down, and I’ll show you.
(TANK LOOKS CYNICAL AT FIRST, BUT LOWERS HIS FRIEND. EXILE SHOWS WATKINS AND TANK THE PHOTOS OF GOODMAN, GIBSON, AND THE OTHERS WITH CHRISTINA. THE TWO LAUGH WHEN THEY SEE THE PICTURES.)
EX: What’s so funny?
TK: John Goodman? You got some real competition man…
EX: I know… but it’s just that Jose just won’t let it go.
TK: Dude, you’re boning his sister. That’s like a huge burn. Ramon knows the egg is all over his face. Don’t let that midget get to you. I mean, was she good?
EX: What?
(TANK SMILES.)
EX: Yeah…she was.
TK: That’s what he hates the most. You’ve already got one over on him, bro, don’t let him do the same to you. Come on, a round on the TaNK.
(THE THREE THEN LEAVE THE LOCKER ROOM. JUST BEFORE THE CAMERA FADES OUT WAKINS SNEAKS BACKS IN AND TAKES ANOTHER LOOK AT THE PHOTO OF CHRISTINA AND JOHN GOODMAN. HE BUSTS OUT LAUGHING.)
BW: Damn glad that isn’t my girlfriend with him. I’d never get her back.
(THE ACTION CUTS TO ELSEWHERE BACKSTAGE WHERE WE SEE FALLEN ANGEL SITTING BACK IN HIS OFFICE, HIS FEET ON THE TABLE, SMOKING A CIGAR WHEN SUDDENLY AARON ROBERTS BURSTS IN THROUGH THE DOOR.)
AR: Mr. Angel, you have got to do something about this!
FA: God, Roberts, if this is about your fucking hangnail again…
AR: No, no, no, not that! I got a manicure this morning, so that’s all good for now. I’m here about the North American Title scene!
FA: What about it?
AR: It’s fuckin’ chaos, man! Haven’t you been watching?! Whether it’s Tank and Sega Boy chumming it up, Dylan lurking around the place doing his creepy shit or like the eleventy bazillion people runnin’ down and gettin’ in a big shmoz…
FA: …That’s not a number.
AR: Hey, whatever Mr. Grumpalore, the point is that NA title is a touchy deal dude, and there’s a lot of dinks and dipsticks getting their knickers in a twist over it, and we need to drop some science on these fools so they’ll cold chill and I can set these newjacks straight, know what I’m saying?
(FALLEN ANGEL JUST STARES VACANTLY AT AARON ROBERTS WITH A LOOK THAT SAY ‘WHY IS THIS IDIOT WASTING MY TIME’ AND AARON ROBERTS SHOOTS BACK AT HIM WITH A STARE OF HIS OWN THAT IS DEADLY SERIOUS. IN THE BACKGROUND WE HEAR THE CROWD LAUGHING AT THE ABSURDITY OF THE SITUATION. FINALLY, ANGEL RESPONDS.)
FA: No, I don’t actually… But by the sounds of it, in whatever retarded shaved monkey space-language you’re speaking, you want something done about the North American Title. A stipulation, maybe? One that would, perhaps, play into your favour?
AR: Damn straight.
FA: Hmm… Now if I didn’t know better, Roberts, I’d think you making a demand.
AR: Fuckin’ A.
FA: Roberts… Perhaps you missed the memo… You see, I don’t respond well to ‘demands’.
(ANGEL SLOWLY PULLS HIS FEET OFF THE TABLE AND PULLS HIMSELF OUT OF THE CHAIR, TOWERING OVER AARON ROBERTS AS ‘THE COBRA’ BACKS UP.)
AR: Hey, hey, come on Boss Man, don’t have a cow. Listen, I’ve got just the thing to convince you, my man, just sit back in your nice comfy chair and prepare to be dazzled.
(UNAMUSED BUT LEVELHEADED, ANGEL SINKS SLOWLY BACK INTO HIS CHAIR AND GIVES ROBERTS THE FLOOR, DESPITE RAPIDLY LOSING HIS PATIENCE. ROBERTS STEPS BACK AND CLEARS HIS THROAT BEFORE HE BEGINS.)
AR: ‘Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike, He's down on his luck, It's tough… So tough.
Gina works the diner all day,
Working for her man, she brings home her pay for love… For love.’
(A HUGE ROAR OF LAUGHTER GOES OUT IN THE CROWD AS ANGEL’S EYES WIDEN, AGHAST AS ROBERTS BEGINS BELTING OUR AN EAR-SPLITTING, GUT-WRENCHING RENDITION OF THE OLD BON JOVI CLASSIC. SUDDENLY, SCORPIO BURSTS THROUGH THE DOOR.)
S: DAMMIT ANGEL, I WANNA KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GONNA DO ABOUT THIS NA TITLE MATCH!
(SEEING ROBERTS STILL BELTING OUT HIS HORRIFIC BALLAD, SCORPIO QUICKLY REALISES THAT AARON ROBERTS IS HERE FOR THE SAME DIABOLICAL PURPOSES AS HE IS AND IMMEDIATELY MOVES TO PUT A STOP TO IT.)
S: Oh, no you don’t Roberts! You want that stip, you’ll have to FIGHT ME FOR IT!
‘Tommy's got his six-string in hock!
Now he's holding in what he used to make it talk so tough… It's tough.’
AR: HEY! No WAY Scorpio, I OWN this song just like I’m gonna OWN your ASS!
‘Gina dreams of running away!
When she cries in the night, Tommy whispers: Baby, it's okay! …Someday.’
(THE CROWD IS LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY IN THE BACKGROUND AS ANGEL IS SLUMPED OVER ON THE DESK, BANGING HIS HEAD ON THE DESK AT THE SHEER INANITY OF THIS BIZARRE AMERICAN IDOL SINGING COMPETITION.)
S & AR: ‘We've got to hold on to what we've got,
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not.
We've got each other and that's a lot for love…
We'll give it a shot!
Ohhh, we’re half way there!
WHOA OH! Livin’ on a prayer!
Take my hand and well make it - I swear!
WHOA OH! Livin’ on a prayer!
LIVIN’ ON A PRAYER!’
(FINALLY, ANGEL LOSES IT AND SPRINGS OUT OF HIS CHAIR, SLAMMING HIS FISTS DOWN ON THE DESK SO HARD IT ALMOST SPLITS THE WOOD AND SCORPIO AND ROBERTS STOP DEAD.)
FA: THAT’S IT!!! I’VE HAD IT WITH THIS RIDICULOUS FUCKING BULLSHIT!!! YOU TWO WANNA COME TO ME TO TURN THE TABLES, WELL HOW ABOUT I TURN THE TABLES ON YOU TWO BUFFOONS?! Autumn Annihilation 9… North American Title Match… And you two idiots are in it!
(HUGE SMILES COME ACROSS THE FACES OF BOTH MEN AS THEY START CELEBRATING TO THEMSELVES WHILE SNEERING AT EACH OTHER IN DISDAIN.)
FA: SHUT UP YOU MORONS, I’M NOT DONE YET! Because that North American Title match will be… A Six-Man… Elimination… TABLES MATCH!
S & AR: WHAT?!!!
(IN THE BACKGROUND WE HEAR THE CROWD LET OUT A MASSIVE CHEER AS SCORPIO AND THE COBRA PROTEST ANGEL’S RULING, BUT ANGEL CUTS THEM OFF.)
FA: And that’s just the beginning gentlemen… The rest will be decided later… Now… Fuck off.
(WITH THAT, SCORPIO AND ROBERTS STORM OFF, GETTING STUCK IN THE DOOR AS THEY TRY TO GO THROUGH IT AT THE SAME TIME. AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF CHILDISH FIGHTING THEY FORCE THEIR WAY THROUGH THE DOOR AND GO THEIR SEPARATE WAYS AS ANGEL SLUMPS BACK INTO HIS CHAIR, THROWING HIS HEAD BACK AND UTTERING WITH UTTER CONTEMPT ‘LIVIN’ ON A PRAYER’ AS THE SCENE FADES TO BLACK.)
(ACTION RETURNS TO RINGSIDE.)
SC: Fallen Angel not taking too kindly to be serenaded by Aaron Roberts and Scorpio! He made it a tables match for the North American Title at AA9 and those two are in!
SJ: Who does Scorpio think he is trying to out sing Aaron Roberts? That’s just wrong.
SC: Not as wrong as those weird pictures Jose Ramon made up to mess with Exile.
SJ: Yeah that was pretty messed up. Jose is cool but that was a bit weird, even for me.
SC: Ok, then let’s move on, we’ve got three way action coming up next folks and this one promises to be a classic!
Torch vs Sandy Makel vs Phenom
(BELL SOUNDS.)
JH: The following is a triple threat match scheduled for one fall…introducing first…
*’FUEL’ – METALICA PLAYS*
(MASSIVE CROWD POP. THE LIGHTS GO OUT. A TOWER OF FLAMES EXPLODE AROUND THE RAMP ENTRANCE, THEY TURN INTO A SMALL CIRCLE OF FIRE ON THE RAMP. SMYTHE EMERGES WITH HIS BACK TO THE CROWD. HE THEN WALKS DOWN THE RAMP INTO THE RING STANDING ON A TURNBUCKLE AND RAISING HIS ARMS IN THE AIR.)
JH: Making his way towards the ring from Short Hills, New Jersey…weighing 240 pounds…Sean ‘Torch’ Smythe!!!
SC: Here comes the man who for months has been battling Phenom in some of the most brutal moments in TFWF history, expect more blood and violence tonight.
SJ: Yeah Torch’s blood and violence from Phenom!
JH: And his opponent…
*’HYSTERIA’ – MUSE PLAYS*
(SUPER MASSIVE CROWD HEAT. SELINA COMES OUT FIRST, POSING FOR THE CROWD AS THE TAT LIGHTS UP WITH THE SCROLLING WORDS "LET IT RIDE". BEHIND HER, SANDY STEPS OUT, HOLDING HIS GOLDEN 12 SIDED DIE. HE PINCHES IT BETWEEN THUMB AND FOREFINGER AND BLOWS ON IT, SENDING IT SPINNING IN HIS GRIP. AFTER THAT, THE TWO WALK DOWN TO THE RING, AND SANDY SLIPS THE DIE DOWN SELINA'S CLEAVAGE BEFORE CLIMBING INTO THE RING.)
JH: Making his way towards the ring accompanied by Selina…from Ocean City, New Jersey…weighing 226 pounds…Sandy ‘The Dice’ Makel!!!
SC: The Golden Ticket holder and the man who has both Sebastian Cross and Fallen Angel at his mercy. Will tonight be the night Makel cashes in the ticket?
SJ: That’s for him to know and you to find out!
JH: And their opponent…
*’BODIES’ – DROWNING POOL PLAYS*
(SUPER MASSIVE CROWD HEAT. PHENOM WALKS ONTO THE STAGE AS IMAGES OF STREET BRAWLS AND RIOTS ARE SHOWN ON THE T.A.T..)
JH: Making his way towards the ring from New York City, New York…weighing 298 pounds… Phenom!!!
SC: He’s made it his life’s mission to destroy Torch and tonight he’ll make another attempt at doing just that.
SJ: Looks like Torch isn’t going to wait around for that to happen!
FINISH…A rather disappointing match as it appears all three wrestlers are slightly off the pace this week. Torch opens the match by diving through the ropes onto Phenom and beating the holy hell out of him! The two of them brawl around the ring while Makel simply sits back and watches the two men battle. Finally the match comes into the ring and Makel is able to blindside Torch. He and Phenom quickly strike a deal to double team Torch and beat him down for a prolonged period. The match turns when Makel tries for a quick roll up on Phenom which enrages the big man! He goes after Makel nailing him with a powerbomb which gets a close 2 count which is broken up by Torch! The finish comes as Torch goes for the ‘3rd Degree Burn’ on Phenom but he uses a low blow to block it! He tries for the ‘Final Destination’ but Torch turns it into a DDT to a big crowd pop! He gets a close two count but Makel breaks it up. Makel tosses Torch over the top rope and turns around only to be met with a big boot from Phenom and then a huge ‘Final Destination’ which gives Phenom the 3 count and the win!
