Promoter: Isaac Cornelius III
(Match Order/Card Subject to Change)
The Shades (which combination?!) vs Matt Ward
Matt Ward did not fare too well last time he went against some shades, but that was Red and Purple, the "Evil" Shades. But we had some shade on shade violence at US19 and it was like looking at all the colors of the rainbow. But now, Matt has a chance to get his vengeance against the Blue Shade, the mastermind behind the shades as now he takes on the actual Shades of Destruction, the ones his had mistaken the Evil Shades for initially. But now as we see it, it could be ANY combination of the shades. How will Matt fare? 10% of all Matt Ward merchandise proceeds will go to the #SaveMattWard Foundation.
Singles Match
BonZo vs The Parakeet
It's a clown and a bird. Need we say more? #ThisIsAwesome
Singles Match
Logan Brock vs Nikki Venom
Logan Brock made a very strong statement towards TJ Bryce when he took out Well Connected by himself. Nikki Venom was originally scheduled two weeks ago to take on LeBroc Harris but some complications rose up and neither man made it to the show, so now Venom gets his chance to send his message to Silas Romero that he's not the coward that he was called and that Silas is everything he stands against. Logan Brock made the challenge to TJ Bryce for WAR on April 23rd, and hopes to get an answer from TJ Bryce tonight.
Singles Match
Peyton Kaiser w/ Artemis Kaiser vs Chris Orton
Peyton defeated the pair of the Evil Shades at US19 before they met their untimely demise at the return of the Shades of Destruction. Things appear to be heating up with Peyton and Delsin with their battle of words, Delsin calling himself the "Kaiser Killer." They haven't had a face to face since Artemis lost the PURE15 Title at US18 and we're sure to see some action collide between these two as we're just one month away from WAR where as of this writing it has been made official that Peyton and Delsin will collide.
Singles Match
Silas Romero vs LeBroc Harris
LeBroc Harris has not had a ton of luck the past little while, meanwhile it seems more and more people are afraid of taking on Silas Romero, in his words anyway. Will LeBroc Harris bring back the invitational and make Silas tap out? Or will Silas send another one packing?
Singles Match
Jay B vs Silas Black
The Bro Off was a success. The ladies loved it, the crowd loved it, but we never got an actual winner and so Jay B issued the challenge to take the Bro-Off a little further, the first annual Brolympics for WAR! Tonight, IC4 has the night off as IC3 did not want him to do anything stupid and embarrassing again but he will be in the arena. So, Jay B steps back into the ring to take on newcomer Silas Black who's known as the "Urban Legend." Will the Party Rock flow through Jay B and carry him to a victory or will Silas Black make a triumphant debut?
Tag Team Match
Drew Stevenson & Tevolo vs Frank Debauchee & TJ Bryce
This comes from when Tevolo (who was banned from the arena for the night) jumped in across the street to help Drew Stevenson in his battle with Delsin Oswald and another attack by Wolf Parker. Thanks to Tevolo's help, Wolf and Delsin didn't get their one up and it left Drew and Tevolo with a one-up on First Class, one month before WAR. They take on Debauchee and PURE15 champion TJ Bryce. Although word is tat Debauchee is very distraught about what happened to his one of a kind muscle car that has a full investigation on-going, and is refusing to go outside to wrestle until the culprit is caught. These are just rumors of course, but First Class looks to get back on track and get rid of Drew Stevenson.
Singles Match
Wolf Parker vs Duke Andrews
These two have had their battles in the past and now it's time that Wolf steps foot inside of the MSW ring, finally. Wolf has been stalking Drew Stevenson and launching attack after attack on him from behind for weeks. So now that he's in the ring, he takes on Drew Stevenson's partner in crime, Duke Andrews. Duke knows Drew can't wrestle in the arena and will be occupied with First Class across the street, so he's looking to take care of Drew and shut down this "puzzle" that he's talked about in direction to Drew so that Drew can focus on what's more important, getting MSW back. The battle with First Class and associates continues, but one also has to wonder how Duke Andrews feels after those nasty big boots from Barrel at US19.
MAIN EVENT
Chris Williams vs Mark Storm
Mark Storm returns to the ring tonight against Chris Williams who's looking to make his statement for the MSW Championship and Tommy Angel. Mark Storm once upon a time said that he too wanted to face Tommy and if he defeats Chris Williams, there's a good chance that maybe he'll get in line for Tommy Angel. We should also note that Frankie Cocheese and Barrel are not in attendance as they are actually banned from the arena this week after the chaos they ensued at US19. Cocheese and Barrel will for sure have their eyes locked right in at Chris Williams, based on how much Cocheese wants that title, too.
Intro
Bradford: I'm looking forward to Mark Storm's return. His time off has seemed to do some good for him and he's back, recharged and ready to kick some ass. And who can forget BonZo the Clown makes his debut! He has to face a damn bird though! The Parakeet... I don't even know. But Wolf Parker steps into the ring tonight! Makes me want to squeal like a little school girl! It was amazing to see Wolf make his return here to Kansas City taking on old rival Duke Andrews!
Smith: Duke Andrews has been doing pretty good this season until he came across Barrel and that's part of why things are how they are tonight because Barrel did not want to stop beating up Duke Andrews. Drew Stevenson and Tevolo are teaming up after the events of two weeks ago, and there's been a slight change in the events. Earlier this week Frank Debauchee approached us on twitter and has supposedly injured his hand and is not clear for competition tonight. He was originally scheduled to team up with our PURE 15 champion TJ Bryce, but word is the match is still happening and we're find out the replacement for the match a bit later in the evening.
Bradford: And who can forget about the Shades! Not the Evil Shades but the Shades of Destructo--
“Money (instrumental)” by Pink Floyd hits the arena as the not quite packed but still lively MSW fans erupt in a flurry of booes as that music could only mean one thing; IC3 and First Class were on their way to the ring.
Smith: Looks like First Class is going to kick things off tonight, Bradford! Even IC3 got tired of hearing you!
Bradford: Ha - ha.
Out first came Isaac Cornelius III walking with a sense of purpose to the ring. To his right was Eugene B. Varano threatening to sue a rowdy fan in the crowd and to his left Ed Trampke who had a certain swagger to his step as he strutted next to the boss. Behind them were Delsin Oswald and TJ Bryce walking in rhythm, with Bryce carrying that PURE 15 Championship like a cherrished trophy cradled under his arm. Directly behind those two were IC4 and The Skylarks as they awkwardly fist pumped through the entrance making them look completely out of place. Notably absent were Well Connected after their match from the previous Unstoppable and the MSW Champion himself Tommy Angel with Izzy.
Gavin Grey: Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome at this time The Owner of Missouri State Wrestling Isaac Cornelius the Third and First Class!
IC3 grabs a mic upon entering the ring after he ordered Gavin Grey to hold the ropes open for First Class to step through. As First Class stood triumphantly in the ring together IC3 taps the mic several times, causing it to echo and screech which made some members in the crowd groan and cringe.
IC3: Order, I require silence and your complete, undivided attention.
IC3: Do you people never learn? I come out here to address the hillbillies and ingrates populating my arena on my show and instead of sitting on your hands and zipping those mouths of yours you insist on trying to talk over me in a childish attempt to hijack my show. Then I have the guys in the back turn MY microphone up and I drown you out. I will not be responsible for any hearing loss you may suffer, you agree to terms to hold myself and MSW harmless and you waive any liability upon purchasing your tickets so if you really want to test me do so at your own peril.
IC3: Alright, turn the volume up gentlemen. You know what to do, chop chop.
Tapping the microphone a few times, the crowd was completely drowned out by how obnoxiously loud the sound level was. It was a notch or two higher than it normally was when IC3 ordered the volume to be turned up. As he tapped the mic several times there was a collective groan in the crowd as it thumped and screeched into the sound system. With a cocky grin IC3 taps to his ears several times.
IC3: Ear plugs, you should invest into them mouth breathers. Now I can continue uninterrupted. On Unstoppable 18 a great injustice nearly occurred. In the main event one of my officials decided he was going to try to go rogue after Billy Vegas was unable to fulfill his duties after a heinous attack by Chris Williams earlier in the night so I decided to entrust the match to a man I thought had a decent amount of class. Not a great amount of class and certainly not First Class material but he was at least someone I thought was a notch or two above all of you; I told Mike Maddix that he was being promoted to referee the main event. And what did he do you might ask? Well why don't we let the man himself explain it?
“Just Run” by Digital Summer, the MSW theme, hits the PA system as Mike Maddix walks out from the back, wearing an MSW referee uniform. He quickly makes his way down the ramp with a no frills entrance before stepping between the ropes and into the ring.
IC3: Now surely you know why you're here, don't you Michael?
Maddix just simply nods. It was apparent in his eyes that he just wanted to get this done and over with as soon as possible.
IC3: Alright, good. Now you know the basics of officiating don't you? Don't answer that, it was a rhetorical question. Of course you do, I mean you wouldn't be working in professional wrestling if you didn't, you gotta go through the rulebook and undergo rigorous training to avoid looking like the officiating disaster that was the NFL replacement refs during the Referee Strike. We have standards to uphold. Now tell me Michael, how do you explain this? Roll the footage.
Duke begins to scan around the ring as First Class suddenly breaks ranks as IC4, the Skylarks, Delsin Oswald, and even Ed Trampke each decide to take a side of the ring as if they may try to enter all at once. IC4 hops up to one side and Duke quickly goes to run and swing only for IC4 to quickly hop off. Then both the Skylarks try to enter on their side of the ring and Duke lunges for them only for them to do the same. Then Delsin hops up and Duke nearly hits him, just barely missing his nose by less than an inch. Finally as Duke frantically scans around the ring expecting a IC4, Skylarks, or Trampke ambush he's instead met by Tommy Angel running at him full speed, hitting him in the head with the MSW Championship as the crowd turns livid.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS! FIRST CLASS SUCKS!
The referee tries to reprimand Tommy Angel but quickly stops as IC3 barks at him to ring the bell and shut up. Mike Maddix, reluctantly standing in for Billy Vegas who was hurt earlier in the night thanks to Chris Williams rings the bell.
Mike Maddix: He introduced a foreign object into the ring for a standard one on one singles match. The use of foreign objects are illegal and normally results in a disqualification.
IC3: Wrong! The match had not officially began and since this happened outside the confines of a match you should have kept your mouth shut and simply done you job.
Mike Maddix: It's a technicality, a loop hole in the rules. It doesn't make it right and it shouldn't be allowed to slide. This was not a No DQ match.
IC3: And? The Boss's word is always final. The fact that I told you to ring the bell and do your job should have resonated through your thick skull. If I personally thought it was a problem I would have told you to disqualify Mr. Angel immediately. Alright, so tell me how you explain this one?
Tommy Angel is reeling against the ropes at this point as Mike Maddix goes to intervene and this time Duke Andrews shoves him away only for Tommy Angel to catch him with a swift thumb to the eye.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Maddix is incensed at this point and issues a stern warning to Tommy Angel for playing loosely with the rules only for the Boss to quickly overrule him.
IC3:
If you disqualify him you'll be fired! Do you hear me? I pay you to officiate the matches around here and ultimately you're playing by my rules, do you hear me, Mike? Thomas has incurred no such rule violation of which you speak!
Mike Maddix: A thumb to the eye is an illegal maneuver, subject to verbal warning or potentially an outright disqualification, subject to the referee's judgment call.
IC3: Wrong again! If you look at the footage closely you'll see that Thomas was defending himself while pinned up against the ropes, a break you called for far too late I might add. He was going for a punch and in the heat of the moment he slipped off target; the thumb was purely 100% coincidental and unintentional.
In a fit of rage Tommy Angel throws up three fingers before Maddix throws two back. Tommy Angel gets to his feet and violently shoves Maddix to the ground as he backs up and begins to undo his knee brace.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! TOM-MY SUCKS! TOM-MY SUCKS! TOM-MY SUCKS! TOM-MY SUCKS! TOM-MY SUCKS! TOM-MY SUCKS! TOM-MY SUCKS!
Tommy Angel manages to get his brace off and holds it up as Duke Andrews is stirring on the mat, fully intending to use it as a weapon. Maddix gets back to his feet and begins to wrestle for control of the brace. Finally Maddix manages to force the brace out of Tommy's hand and tosses it to the outside as Tommy again shoves him, this time against the ropes. Just when it looked like Tommy was about to seriously hurt the official get gets blindsided by a spear from Duke Andrews! Duke rains repeatedly down on Tommy Angel with a flurry of fists, the crowd getting hotter and hotter with each punch before nearly going nuts when this time Duke Andrews busts Tommy Angel open. IC3 is seen visibly shaken at the display of blood pouring from his champion, the very beating he was trying to avoid his investment from taking. This time Maddix was a lot slower to call for a clean break after Tommy Angel nearly crippled him and only reluctantly does so out of fear for his job.</quote>
IC3: I'd love to see how you explain this one. It was clear that you had it out for Thomas from the very beginning of the match. You were very slow to call for the break and you risked having that maniac Duke Andrews inflicting serious harm upon our Champion due to your negligent officiating.
Mike Maddix: You really want to know why? I had enough of your bullshit!
The crowd pops big for that as IC3 looks taken back.
Mike Maddix: I was only trying to do my job, I was trying to call it right down the middle and you constantly interfered with me enforcing the rules as intended! I am a referee licensed by the Missouri Athletic Commission and I'm not Billy Vegas, a guy you have to appoint as a “special referee” to try to skirt regulations. This is my job, this is my life! Tommy Angel threatened to inflict bodily harm on me and to take food off my family's table and you honestly think a man won't try to defend himself for that? My only regret is that I didn't let Duke wail on him longer! This man has a history of abusing officials and all you're doing is enabling him! Enough is enough!
“Money (instrumental)” by Pink Floyd hits the arena once again as Maddix swiveled his head back to the ramp as IC3 had the widest Cheshire grin imaginable. Out emerged Tommy Angel, wearing a black pinstripe suit with the MSW Championship resting on his shoulder. On his arm was the lovely Izzy Cornelius, the pride and joy of IC3. The two took their time walking down to the ring as Mike Maddix appeared suddenly nervous as it dawned on him that he was not only surrounded by First Class but his only real avenue out was blocked by the very man that nearly beat him to a bloody pulp. Still Maddix stood his ground as Delsin Oswald helped Tommy and Izzy into the ring by sitting on the middle rope and holding the top rope up.
Tommy Angel: Mike! It's so good to see you! You know, first of all I got to thank Mr. Cornelius for his generosity. Izzy and I enjoyed our time in the Bahamas, it was like living in paradise! It was good to get away, rest and recover and have some personal time off. Not only do I feel good and ready to go but I feel rejuvenated! Second of all Mike I wanted to apologize. What happened at Unstoppable 18 was completely unprofessional, it was uncalled for and it did not live up to the high standards set for MSW. This promotion should be about the best competitors in the world facing off against one another on a level and equal playing field. I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you couldn't follow orders like a good little drone!
Tommy Angel: But I'm over it, I'm not going to hold a grudge over something so petty. I mean you must have had a bad week and I mean who doesn't? Well okay, I don't because I ride First Class and there's no such thing as a bad week when you ride First Class but for you? I mean I understand. So I talked with Mr. Cornelius about this yesterday when the plane touched back down in Kansas City and I made a request. Honestly he had half a mind to fire you and while I can't say I blame him I made your case for you Mike, I went to bat for you. Personally I think you should be... rewarded for showing such bravery in the face of adversity so I talked Mr. Cornelius out of that when the findings of the internal investigation game in. See, I've paid attention to you back when Stevenson's former Emerald Academy was still running, before he lost everything and I noticed you would show up early every single day to put in some time in the gym and I thought to myself, “this Maddix guy is serious about professional wrestling”. I know it's been the boyhood dream for you to one day lace up those boots and compete in front of your family on a big stage so tonight you're going to make your professional debut.
Maddix looks at Tommy suspiciously as he gets patted roughly on the back.
Tommy Angel: Tonight you will be going one on one; with me. And to show you that there's no hard feelings between the two of us I will be putting my MSW Championship on the line. So bring your A Game because it's not every day someone gets to debut in a Championship match. Just... don't expect me to take it easy on you due to your inexperience. I want to see how much heart you got and I want to see just how badly you want to make it, how badly you want to make your family proud. I want to see you pour your blood, sweat, and tears into this very ring and earn your stripes.
Tommy places his hand on Mike's shoulder as he flashes a sinister grin.
Tommy Angel: I want to see you start paying your dues. Good luck, you'll need a lot of it.
Smith: Finally! We're no longer muted.
Bradford: What a hell of an opportunity for Mike Maddix! Tommy not only decided to spare his job but he selflessly made it his mission to help this kid's dream come true! What a class act!
Smith: Class act my ass! This is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to physically punish a man who was trying to do his job! Tommy Angel wants to hurt this man and IC3 is allowing this to go through with the sole purpose of making an example out of him!
Bradford: Well maybe he shouldn't have trained to become a wrestler if he was afraid of getting hurt now should he? He's got a chance to sink or swim and I don't see any inflatable water wings or a lifejacket to see him back to shore! This is great!
The Shades of Destruction vs Matt Ward
Waking the Demon begins to play as Matt Ward makes his way out to the ring with a loud reception of boos from the fans in the arena, Matt taunts the fans as he makes his way into the ring as he prepares for his match.
Gavin Grey: The Following handicap match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Chicago, Canada, weighing 245lbs he is the Second City Nightmare... MATT WARD!
Smith: Another week, another tough match for Matt Ward. Cocheese rang his bell on the last Unstoppable, and on Unstoppable 18 he had to face The “Evil” Shades; Red and Purple in what would be their first victory in MSW.
Bradford: But now with The Realm of Shades in utter flux we get Yellow and Green! I'm so divided Smith! Matt Ward is a Drew Stevenson supporter and that's just not cool on one hand but on the other Yellow and Green are traitors! They were supposed to unite the Shades; not tear them apart! This is just like Darth Vader turning his back on the Emperor and saving Luke Skywalker!
Smith: I think you got that backwards there. The Empire were the villains.
Bradford: Says you! The Empire was a source of order and stability! And honestly if you ask me I'm not sure I like this Queen of the Shades. Blue was a nice guy. I guess I gotta flip a coin for this match. HA! Heads! Sorry Matt Ward, but I gotta pull for these Traitor Shades for one match.
Smith: Good grief. Even when you're against them you won't shut up about them. You ever hear about just calling the action right down the middle?
“I See Demons” by Book of Black Earth starts playing. Smoke and red lights cover the arena as the kickass song plays. At 1:20 of the song, The Shades of Destruction come out to the ramp. The crowd starts booing out of fear and hatred, but the Shades of Destruction ignore it as they walk down the ramp. The Shades climb to the apron like Kane and get inside the ring, doing simultaneous Kane taunts inside the ring, causing fire to come out of the ring posts.
Gavin Grey: And his opponents; from the Realm of Shades weighing in at a combined weight of 754lbs, accompanied by The Queen of the Shades they are... THE SHADES OF DESTRUCTION!
Matt Ward tries to bring the fight to the Shades right out of the gate as he darts after Yellow only to get hit with a devastating throat thrust for his trouble. Yellow quickly grabs Ward by the throat and lifts him back up before roughly tossing him to the corner and tagging in Green. Both Shades whip Ward into the ropes and hit him with a double big boot. Yellow exits the ring as Green drops down to his knees and begins to choke Matt Ward with both of his hands wrapped around his neck pressing downward. Ward kicked his feet up and down on the mat as Derek Lay begins his 5 count, stopping at 4. Green ominously stares at Lay when Lay tries to explain illegal choke before choking him again all while staring at the referee.
Smith: Matt Ward is in dire straits already. It's been a long time since we've seen the Original Shades but they're roaring out of the gate with a vengeance tonight.
Bradford: Matt Ward made a grave mistake trying to jump these two that's for sure. Just because he got away with it vs Red and Purple doesn't mean he's going to get away with it with Yellow and Green; these two are about as big as mammoths. I mean look at their combined weight? That's nearly half a ton!
Smith: I can't argue with you there. And Derek Lay looks absolutely terrified to be officiating this match.
Bradford: He should! I wouldn't want to meet either of these guys in a dark alley... or a Walmart Supercenter for that matter.
Lay counts to 4 with a little bit less resolve in his eyes as Green mercifully lets go. Green menacingly steps towards Lay who holds ups his hands before he reaches over and tags Yellow back in. Yellow goes to pick Ward up but manages to take a few punches to the gut for his trouble as he backs Yellow up. Out of desperation Ward got up and ran off the ropes looking for a Chi-Town Crushed ( Running Crossbody) to shift the momentum in his favor but much to his dismay Yellow manages to catch him!
Smith: Ward was looking for the Chi-Town Crushed out of desperation but Yellow managed to catch him and made it look easy!
Bradford: That's some scary strength right there, Ward is no paperweight.
Ward shakes his head several times as Yellow hits a devastating fallaway slam. Yellow quickly makes the tag with Green who gets on the middle rope. Yellow picks Ward up as he hands him off to the welcoming grasp of Green, holding him upside down as he falls descens from the second rope, connecting with The Shade of Death (Top Rope Tombstone Piledriver).
Smith: Have mercy! The Shade of Death, that top rope tombstone piledriver! Nobody is getting up from that
Green rolls Ward over and hooks the leg. 1, 2, 3.
Winners: The Shades of Destruction
A Boycott?
Nikki Venom: On the last Unstoppable I made a shocking decision that few would dare to to do... I decided to stage a boycott.
Venom spoke against the backdrop of an MSW banner backstage as he spoke with a calm, soft tone.
Nikki Venom: I decided that I wasn't going to play IC3's game and subject myself to whatever whim decided to strike him that week and you know what? I have half a mind to do it again. My battle isn't with Logan Brock per se, but the corrupt insects in the heirarchy looking to pull the strings with zero regard to the consequences that are bound to ensue. But don't take that as a glowing endorsement of Logan Brock; it's not. You see men like Logan are part of the problem. They refuse to speak up and instead are more than eager to play into a callous system that just feeds upon their headstrong natures. MSW needs to be cleansed, MSW needs to be purified and I will be the man -
Silas Romero: That tucked his tail and ran.
Venom looks none too pleased as Hipster Hercules himself walks into view.
Silas Romero: You want to talk about boycotts as if you're championing some noble cause? All I saw was a coward who was too scared that I'd try to cash the check his mouth wrote. What happened to all the tough talk on Unstoppable 18? You target me and then vanish out of thin air the following show? Do you have anything you'd rather say to my face like man? Or are you going to just take that cheap shot like you always do? My match isn't until later tonight so make no mistake; I have no problems knocking your ass out if you're feeling a little froggy right now.
Venom chuckles softly and shakes his head, wagging his finger.
Nikki Venom: I'm not going to do anything to you right now Silas. This isn't the time nor the place and when I do decide to take care of you? It'll be on my terms, not yours. That time and place will be at WAR and not a second sooner. Good luck out there tonight and... break a leg.
With a grin Nikki Venom starts walking off down the hallway. After walking for about half a minute he bumps into IC3 and he certainly didn't appear to be happy to see him.
IC3: Good to see you got a little bit of pep back in your step Nicholas. You know when you sign someone to a contract the thing you expect first and foremost before anything else is that your employees are going to honor their commitments. After all you are here to... wrestle aren't you? And yet you disappointed me when you decided to selfishly sit the last show out. So let me put it to you in no uncertain terms, allow me to put this situation in to terms you can easily understand. This boycotting crap? It isn't going to fly. Not only have I placed a nice little fine for you in the locker room to make up for your unplanned time off but should you EVER do this again I'll fire your ass and you'll be out of this company quicker than West Nile Winterborn. Do I make myself clear?
Nikki Venom: Absolutely... Boss.
That statement was just seething in sarcasm as Venom flashed that defiant, shit eating grin as he was just daring IC3 to try something. With a sly smile IC3 nodded.
IC3: I'm glad that we're on the same page. Win With Class Nicholas and remember... I got my eye on you.
BoNzO vs The Parakeet
Gavin Grey: The following match is scheduled for one fall... introducing first.
The sounds of parakeets chirping hit the PA as a very confused crowd reacts to a man wearing a parakeet costume appears on the stage. The Parakeet flaps his wings several times as he mimics the chirping form his entrance as he makes his way down to the ring.
Gavin Grey: Introducing first, from... The Bird Cage, weighing in at 6 ounces he is Mr. Peckedwood... THE PARAKEET!
Bradford: You got to be kidding me! He can't possibly be 6 ounces, he can't possibly even be a real bird!
Smith: Well this man is certainly... entertaining to say the least. It's not every day do you see someone wrestling in a bird suit.
Bradford: You know, if I didn't know better I would think he was one of the undesirables removed by Mr. Cornelius trying to sneak back into the promotion. It's the cousin of West Nile Winterborn!
Smith: That... would be hard to prove in regards to either question Bradford.
Bradford: But come on, who calls themselves Mr. Peckedwood? Is he insinuating he's a Peckerwood? That's racist! There's no room for that in MSW!
Smith: For Christ sake Bradford, it's a “bird”.
The Parakeet enters the ring flapping its wings on the top rope before hopping off. Soon after however Larry LeStrange stepped into view as he entered the ring.
With a solitary spotlight burning down on the center of the ring, we see Ringmaster Larry Lestrange in his red suit, black pants and black top hat. Holding a microphone that hangs from the ceiling, Larry's enchanting voice sounds out, getting the crowd ready for the greatest show on Earth.
Larry Lestrange: LADIES & GENTLEMEN... BOYS & GIRLS... CHILDREN OF ALL AGES! ON BEHALF OF FUN TIMES, INCORPORATED I, RINGMASTER LARRY LESTRANGE OFFER TO YOU! THE SOLE SURVIVING MEMBER OF THE WORLD RENOWNED CLOWN CLAN, FROM CLOWNSVILLE... BoNzO... THE CLOWN!
With a drumroll going off in the background a horn to the tune of TA DA goes off as BoNzO rolls down the ramp in a garbage can all the way to the ring, colliding with the ring itself! The crowd laughs as BoNzO crawls out of the can as he pulls a balloon from out of his jacket and quickly fashions it into a balloon bird before giving it to a kid in the crowd. BoNzO hops into the ring as the ref calls for the bell.
BoNzO and Parakeet meet in the middle of the ring as BoNzO extends his hand for a handshake! The Parakeet chirps as he tilts his head looking at it before shaking it, causing the feathers to stand up as he's shocked! BoNzO laughs as the referee scolds him and asks for the ring buzzer. BoNzO opens one palm to show there was nothing there. As the referee asks for the other hand he quickly passes his hands over one another and opens his other to reveal nothing. The referee looks baffled as BoNzO reaches behind the ref's ear and reveals the ring with a clever slight of hand unbeknownst to him before he pats him on the back, shocking the ref as well! BoNzO backs off laughing as The Parakeet gets up and hits him with a splash right into the corner. The Parakeet struts around chirping as he flaps ins wings. The Parakeet then bends over and attempts to... peck at BoNzO?
Smith: The Parakeet is wasting no time going back on the offensive with a series of pecks. I'm not even sure if that's legal or not...
Bradford: About as legal as a handbuzzer apparently. I feel bad for Derek Lay drawing this match. Normally Maddix would get stuck with the wackos but he's getting his later tonight.
Smith: So far the crowd seems to be into it and that's all you can really ask for out of a match. It's incredibly unorthodox, on both sides really, but it's clear at this point that this is anyone's game and that literally anyone could do just about anything.
Bradford: It's not that hard to just believe Smith. Why can't you take such an open minded attitude towards The Shades?
Smith: Becaue they're pretending to be something they're not with powers they don't have. Here we have a guy in a bird suit facing a clown.
The referee, completely baffled as to what he should upon seeing this begins his 5 count in which The Parakeet stops at 4 with a confused gesture as he tilts his head at the official before resuming his peck attack. The referee counts again, stopping at 3 as The Parakeet begins to chase the referee around the ring trying to peck at him.
Smith: Now the Parakeet is going after the referee!
Bradford: I'd like to call foul here! I don't think there is anything in the rules against pecking!
Smith: Maybe not but is it really a good idea to chase around the guy officiating the match?
Bradford: Probably not but this guy's wrestling in a bird costume, clearly he doesn't know any better!
By this time BoNzO is back up and ready to go but instead of interupting this amusing chase he reaches into his coat and pulls out... a banana? BoNzO peals it and begins to eat it before tossing the peal out towards the center of the ring, causing The Parakeet to slip and fall on its back. Cupping his hand to his ear and honking his horn he runs off the ropes and hits a vintage legdrop onto his foe but in the process getting clipped by that dangerous beak in the leg!
Smith: Ok now this I'm almost certain is illegal. A banana peel in a wrestling match? We might as well be showing a Saturday Morning cartoon at this point.
Bradford: Well he certainly took his vitamins and said his prayers before pulling off that legdrop. Clownamania is running wild!
Smith: Don't ever do that again.
BoNzO begins looking for a wrap bandage in his coat to treat his leg but begins to pull out a series of tied together handkerchiefs as the string of colorful cloth lands all over the Parakeet who quickly tries to get it off his face but to no luck as he gets tangled up in it. Finally BoNzO finds the colorful polkadot wrap bandage and winds it over his leg before getting back to his feet. The Parakeet furiously manages to claw through the colorful string of handkerchiefs and catches BoNzO with the Bird's Claw!
Smith: And The Parakeet calls this move, and I quote, "I Am Not A Crow".
Bradford: The famous Claw hold, well at least I think it is. Kind of hard to tell with all those feathers.
Smith: Well whatever it is he's got BoNzO right at his mercy and exactly where he wants him.
BoNzO comically tries to escape the clutches as The Parakeet hangs on as he holds him in the claw as they run around the ring. The referee asks if BoNzO would like to quit, and he appears to be close to doing so until he squirts water from his flower right into the Parakeet's eyes! The Parakeet' covers its eyes as BoNzO honks its nose before hitting him with an atomic drop before running against the ropes and jumping with a running hip attack (The Clown Nose)!
Bradford: And BoNzO just gave him the ole Clown Nose!
Smith: You know what... it's effective I'll give him that much.
The Parakeet falls down as BoNzO loses his balance, luckily falling ontop of his foe as the referee counts. 1, 2, 3.
Winner: BoNzO
A First Class Meeting
We’re in the backstage area, all of First Class can be seen. Varano, IC3, Trampke, PURE15 Champion TJ Bryce and Well Connected, Delsin Oswald, MSW Champion Tommy Angel and associate Frank Debauchee who can be seen with his hand taped up and in a sling. It’s in a small meeting room, a table of orderves and champagne that they’re all drinking casually.
IC3: Tonight is one month away from WAR when we go back to California and get away from these stupid rednecks for our biggest event of the year! So from here on out it’s about making an example! We must make an example out of each and every one of those idiots.
Delsin: I tell you one thing, Boss. I can’t wait to get my hands on that coward Peyton Kaiser. I mean seriously. All we ever hear around here are how GREAT those lousy Kaiser’s are but they seem more fragile than Drew Stevenson’s ego. I can’t wait to take care of Peyton and get rid of this stupid “Dynasty” once and for all.
IC3: And you’ll get that shot, sooner than later. There’s no room in my company for slackers and I fully expect you to remove them.
Delsin: You can count on it, boss. I’ll get rid of that piece of trash Peyton Kaiser faster than his little ol’ sister. And they used to say they were the standard bearer’s of this place. How pathetic.
IC3: I agree, and that’s why I’m going to have you be Mister Debauchee’s replacement tonight while his hand heals up.
TJ Bryce: I like the sound of that. What do ya say we take care of those punks, eh big guy?
Delsin: Oh you know it, Teej. Will you join us ringside, Frank?
Debauchee: And let that punk Tevolo get anywhere near me after hurting my hand?! I’ll pass. He’s not worthy of my presence there anyway, I trust you can do a good enough job without this sexy piece of mustache out there.
Delsin: Your call. This is our night, baby! FIRST CLASS!
They all leave the room, IC3 following behind until he’s stopped with Varano’s hand on his shoulder. Varano closes the door behind the camera for a private meeting.
Logan Brock vs Nikki Venom
The sharp guitar chords of “Kickstart My Heart” by Motley Crue reverberate across the arena. The lights darken and spotlights switch to a variety of different colours to the beat of the song. The electric guitar, bass, and drums all make their presence known within the song. As the vocals come in, the curtain opens up and Nikki steps out too a mass of boos. A smirk across his face, he raises his arms above his head and crosses his fingers into an 'x'. He walks down to the ring, a cocky swagger in his step; he stops short of the pads outside the ring and jumps in place for a second, before sprinting towards the ring and sliding in. He stands up, and walks to the nearest corner, quickly ascending it. He then lifts his arms in the air, throwing the same taunt he used before. He gets down and sits in the corner, awaiting his opponent.
Gavin Grey: The following match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Detroit, Michigan, weighing 259lbs... Nikki Venom!
Smith: We got a powder keg of a match here if we ever had one! Over the past week it's apparent that Logan Brock and Nikki Venom do not like each other, at all. One man is coming off a boycott while the other ran through Well Connected.
Bradford: Can I hope for both of these guys to beat each other senseless to a double knockout? Logan Brock got himself involved in First Class business while Nikki Venom showed the ultimate sign of disrespect to Mr. Cornelius.
Smith: You could but I serious doubt it would happen. Both men seem to be fighting for causes they believe in pretty strongly here and it'll be something to watch these two go at it and determine who has the bigger resolve.
"Lifter" by Deftones hits the PA system as the lights go out with a lone spotlight shining on the stage. The crowd comes to life around the 12 second mark as Logan Brock steps out wearing a black leather jacket and black trunks with a white Venom logo on the back. He methodically makes his way down the ramp with a confident grin taking a moment to pause halfway down the ramp he points to his opponent standing in the middle of the ring, his grin only getting wider as he says something inaudible to the cameras.
Gavin Grey: And his opponent, from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weighing in at 207lbs he is the self proclaimed Agent of Change... Logan BROCK!
Logan Brock takes his time as he walks up the ring steps he straddles the ring apron as he pulls out a pair of imaginary guns with his index finger and thumbs on each hand as he points down directly at the cameraman at ringside. Upon firing a pair of 'shots' he spins around towards the ring ropes and steps through them, using the ropes for balance. Once in the ring he climbs the nearest turnbuckle and stretches his arms out to his sides before looking over his shoulder and hopping back into the ring. Finally he takes off his jacket and tosses it outside of the ring as he waits for the match to start.
Both men are quick to enter a collar and elbow tie up as Nikki Venom manages to use his size to gain the early advantage. Venom manages to take Brock down with a headlock takedown to the mat but quickly gets snared into a bodyscissors by Brock as he attempts to transition out of the hold. Brock quickly hammers Venom with a series of elbow shots to the torso and neck area, using his positioning as leverage to force Venom to extend himself as he tries to fire back with a few shots of his own. Venom manages to use his superior reach to make up the distance as he connects with a few hard rights to force Brock to loosen his hold. Both men manage to get back to their feet with Brock trying to keep Venom off his game with a series of well aimed kicks to the lower leg. Venom catches Brock's leg as he shoots for the torso area in a combination of kicks. Brock tries to counter with an enziguri but misses as Venom ducks and quickly drops the leg and catches him with a release german suplex.
Smith: Back and forth action right out of the gate. Venom is trying to use his superior size advantage of 40 or so pounds but Logan Brock so far is able to defend himself.
Bradford: Yeah, until he took that nasty release german suplex.
Venom calls for a time out as the referee yells at him to return to the ring only for Venom to wave him off as he snatches a water bottle from a fan sitting in the front row, taking a few drinks before throwing it back at the fan who had to be held back from a few of his friends sitting right next as security quickly rushed forward as well.
Smith: Now that was uncalled for!
Bradford: Well that's what you get for sitting so close to ringside! He should have had a better grip on his drink! He's lucky he didn't take the poor kid's nachos and turn it into a fashionable new hat for him!
Smith: These people pay to watch a wrestling match, not to essentially fall victim to petty theft!
As this was going on Logan Brock ran up against the ropes and hit a nasty baseball slide right through the bottom rope, connecting with the Devil's Saint and sending him crashing down to the floor. Derek Lay urges both men to return to the ring once again.
2!
3!
Brock quickly gets up to his feet, Venom gets up shortly after. Both men brawl around the ring as Brock slams Venom's head into the guard rail.
5!
6!
Venom fights back as he whips Brock against the apron before following up with a dropkick. Brock swings his elbow back as he hits Venom in the nose, causing him to stagger back.
Brock rolls back in and quickly back out of the ring to break Lay's count. Brock hops up onto the apron as he looks to scout Venom as he goes for a running kick. Venom quickly ducked again showing veteran instinct as he cut him down by hooking his arm around his leg, causing him to fall on his back on the apron. Venom gets up on the apron himself as he picks Brock up as he looks to Knock'er the Fucker Out'er (Flatliner onto the apron) and connects as Brock lands with a loud THUD, rolling onto the ground. With a grin of satisfaction Venom rolls back into the ring as he instructs the ref to count.
2!
3!
4!
Brock starts to stir as he crawls slowly towards the apron.
6!
7!
Brock grabs onto the apron with one hand.
Brock slowly pulls himself up to a knee before slipping.
Brock digs deep down as he pulls himself up and manages to just barely break the ref's count as he rolled under the bottom rope. Venom pounces on him like a shark smelling blood in the water as he goes to hook the leg for the pin. 1, 2, thre/KICKOUT! Looking to wear his opponent out Venom goes for another pin. 1, 2, KICKOUT! Venom goes for a third pin as he hooks both legs this time as Lay counts. 1, 2, THRE/KICKOUT! Looking to keep the foot on the gas quite literally Venom quickly gets up as he presses his foot on Brock's throat as he holds onto the top rope for leverage, causing Brock's feet to frantically kick on the mat as he gasped for air.
Smith: Derek Lay is trying to force a clean break here but Venom isn't having any of it.
Bradford: Good, choke the life out of him!
Smith: Finally Lay was able to force a clean break and now they're getting into a shouting match with one another.
Bradford: Stupid! He's going to give Logan Brock a chance to recover. He should have just shoved the zebra away and continued his assault!
Smith: And risk disqualification? That's a great idea...
Bradford: You might as well go all the way at this rate! You've come too far not to!
Venom picks Brock off the mat as he wraps his arm over his neck, dragging him towards the center of the ring as he looks connect with Yin's Song (Reverse DDT a'la Sting). Brock manages to slip out as the last second as he managed to shift his weight and shoot his foot straight into the face of Venom. As Venom was momentarily stunned Logan Brock seized the opportunity as he finally connects with that patented shoot style kick to the head of Venom.
Smith: And Logan Brock FINALLY connects with the Character Assassination, the move Nikki Venom had managed to avoid all match long! Venom had him scouted this whole time but you can't defend a move properly if you're stunned.
Bradford: Dammit Venom! Come on get back up!
Logan Brock grabs Venom right before he falls backward as he places him between his legs as he lifts him up for the Omega Red (Cradle Piledriver), driving his head straight into the mat. Logan Brock hooks the leg as the crowd counts along with the ref. 1, 2, 3.
Winner: Logan Brock
It's Bro Time!
Charles Mattias is standing backstage. We just saw Logan Brock defeat Nikki Venom. Jay B is scheduled for a match against Silas Black.
Charles: Jay B, it’s great to see you back in MSW. Two weeks ago, we had the official Bro-off between you and IC4 that came to a very unorthodox ending. Then you made the challenge for the Brolympics that I’m sure we’ll find out more about later on. But tonight you face Silas Black. How do you feel going into this?
Jay B: Bro, you’re right. The Bro-off didn’t go down and I’m looking forward to the crazy Brolympics, that I’m going to win by the way. But this Silas Black dude, he looks nice and tough but…
Jay B stopped and it was because just around the corner peeking out he could see our pink Bullshark, #6, gawking over Jay B just like she did during the bro-off. It appeared as if somebody had a crush but Jay B was taken back, not quite sure how to react to it. She puts her hand over what would be her mouth and looks to giggle a little bit. Jay B raises his eyebrow before looking back at Mattias.
Jay B: I’m sure Silas Black is gonna be one tough son of a bro, but with my Bro’s and Ho’s behind me tonight, the main man is walking out the winner, bro!
Peyton Kaiser vs Chris Orton
Gavin Grey: Ladies the gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is now to crown the first ever MSW HARDCORE Champion! Making his way to the ring first, from Mount Pearl, Newfoundland, Canada, Peeeytooon Kaaiiiiseerrrr!
Smith: Peyton Kaiser get back into the ring when it was Delsin Oswald that attacked his sister Artemis, ultimately giving her a concussion and costing her the PURE 15 title. We’ve been hearing Delsin Oswald call himself the Kaiser Killer and with WAR on the horizon, we can only expect to see them clash at WAR… wait, hang on a second! Looks like our hardcore title fight is starting in the back!
Bradford: Not going to lie, this is a match I’m anxious to see! It’s been a long time since we’ve had a good hardcore match! Especially with 24/7 rules!
Backstage, Peyton was making his way to the ring but he was clobbered in the back with a steel chair by Chris Orton and it stumbled Peyton. He turned around none too happy but then Orton jabbed the chair to his gut. Out at the ring while we watch it all on video, we hear the bell ring. Peyton was doubled over and then got a crack with the chair across his back and Orton goes for a quick pin but only a two. Orton tosses the chair aside and looks around for something else he can grab. There’s a table set up with food on it, so Orton grabs the plate.
Smith: It looks like the first hardcore championship match is going to start backstage! Chris Orton is real eager to get the jump in on Peyton Kaiser here tonight, and make his staple as the first Hardcore Champion of MSW!
Bradford: Come on Peyton! Kaiser's reign supreme!
Smith: The Kaiser's have been a strong force but seemed to fall this season when they haven't been in full force and it appears as if Chris Orton might be a little more brighter than we initially took him for, and he's utilizing the rules that he thought he was wrestling Drew Stevenson across the street!
Bradford: That was embarrassing!
Smith: It looks like Orton is headed for the table! What could he have planned here?!
Bradford: Look out Peyton!
Smith: That one is going to hurt in the morning! Chris Orton just used a steel food platter and smashed it across Peyton's head and just busted him open!
Peyton is shaking his head to get back into it but looks up to have a metal tray smashes across his head a few times bending it to the point it’s no longer of use. Peyton is bleeding, but not bad; Just a little running down his head. He looks dazed and Orton goes for another cover but Peyton grabs Orton and throws him into a nearby wall followed by some knee strikes and then an attempted hip toss Orton through the table but it fell a little short. Peyton wipes the blood from his head and starts to pick Orton up and hooks his arms, looking for his own Bloody Sunday, A Shot of Nightshade, but Peyton is stopped really quickly being knocked away. He rolls through and as he looks up he sees Delsin Oswald who is laughing at Peyton. He taunts him a bit and Chris Orton takes the opportunity to run around the corner. Then there’s a loud sound much like a small engine. Then zooming around the corner in a go-kart is none other than Chris Orton. He comes driving up to Peyton fast, yelling out “I AM BAD GUY! I AM BAD GUY, YOU HEAR ME?!” And the Go-Kart runs right into the back of Peyton’s legs colliding with his ankles. Peyton loses his balance and falls forward where he’s caught by Delsin Oswald in the neck cravat and with a suplex he calls the Perfect Score, Delsin tosses Peyton and Peyton crashes into the wall and falls, looking like he landed on his neck.
Smith: The hardcore rules really coming into effect with the self proclaimed "Kaiser Killer" Delsin Oswald getting involved! As if Chris Orton and the weapons and that damn GO-KART of all things weren't enough, now Delsin just THREW Peyton into the wall like it was absolutely nothing with the Perfect Score! Peyton Kaiser could be seriously hurt here!
Bradford: He brought it on himself, Smith. He got involved with Artemis when he shouldn't, he got involved in First Class affairs when he shouldn't and he said things about Delsin when he had no idea what he was talking about! Delsin Oswald is the enforcer of First Class and he's called the Kaiser Killer FOR a reason. I'll be the first to shout it from the rooftops that I've always been a Kaiser supporter, but always second to First Class and Peyton and Artemis crossed bridges without know what the hell they were getting into!
Smith: Well that's an interesting philosophy. It looks like Delsin doesn't even want to wait until WAR to get rid of Peyton! He's not even moving, this could be bad and Delsin is just laughing at him!
Bradford: And now it's looking like the amazing underrated talent of Chris Orton is getting ready to use Bonzo's trash can! This will not be pretty! Go Orton! YOU ARE BAD GUY! YOU ARE BAD GUY!
Smith: "You are bad guy?" Did you forget your english for a minute?
Bradford: It's Chris Orton speak for "I'm the bad guy." It's the all the rage right now.
Smith: Lord save me.
Bradford: It's Easter Weekend, Smith. Very insensitive of you.
Smith: They don't have to sit next to you every two weeks.
Peyton holds his neck for a minute while Delsin laughs at him and Orton doesn’t know what to think. So he grabs a beat up garbage can that was used by BonZo for his entrance earlier. Peyton being the fighter he is, even though his neck is evidently hurt, gets smashes in the head a few more times to open his wound even more and he collapses holding his neck in pain. Orton pins, “I’M BAD GUY! I’M BAD GUY!” And Derek Lay makes the count, Chris Orton picking up the win and being awarded the Hardcore title.
Bradford: TOLD YOU SMITH! ALL THE RAGE! HE IS BAD GUY! AND BAD GUY IS NEW HARDCORE CHAMPION! GOOOOO ORTON!
Winner and NEW Hardcore Champion: Chris Orton
Chris Orton is handed the new Hardcore title and is celebrating but his celebration is cut short. Why was it cut short? Because 24/7 of course! Chris Orton turns around and is caught by a FIREBALL! It’s the Red Shade, with Blue and Purple right behind him cheering him on while Purple is throwing grapes at Chris Orton. Red makes the pin and now HE’S the Hardcore champ!
Smith: A fireball by the Red Shade and a NEW Hardcore champion!
Winner and NEW Hardcore Champion: The Red Shade
Didn't last long though. Red Shade gets up with the title and he’s jumping up and down celebrating his title win but when he turns around, he sees his fellow Shades knocked out against the wall and there’s Matt Ward with a chair. Red tries to throw a fireball but he’s clocked in the head with the chair and Matt Ward pins him for the three.
Bradford: And there's Matt Ward getting his revenge! May he's bad guy now?! He speaks Chris Orton!
Winner and NEW Hardcore Champion: Matt Ward
Matt Ward takes the title and angrily storms off with it. Meanwhile the Doctors are checking on Peyton who hasn’t seemed to move his neck at all. A neck brace is put on and he’s carried away on a stretcher as we take a break.
Smith: Well that's three Hardcore title changes and Peyton Kaiser is being stretchered away taking very close care of his neck that was hurt just moments ago. We'll provide an update later on when we hear from the the Doctor that IC3 hired that was involved in the diagnosis of Artemis Kaiser about her condition update, and hopefully he'll have an update for us for Peyton as well. We've gotta take a break but more action when we return!
