"Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Pontiac Silverdome
for an exciting card of Nightmare Wrestling Foundation action! My name
is Lionel Thetyme, along with my broadcast colleague 'Blind' Dan Furgeson...."
"How's it goin'? Well, Lionel, tonight we have
the Second Tier of the Gold Rush Tourney for the Heavyweight Championship...
The high-flying hero Tiger will face off against the most heinous antichrist
person Bobo Fiendish... The 'Asian Sensation' Dr. Midnight will square
off against the 'Ring Wizard' Caster... Plus we have a special 'Penance'
Match pitting Heaven's Messengers against THREE top stars, being Sgt. Sledge,
Verbal, and that BASTARD Gas Chamber..."
"Isn't Gas Chamber a member of the Chosen?"
"Not anymore... Apparently Bobo Fiendish and
GC felt that P&P have turned against them by asking Caster and En Fuego
to join the Chosen.... En Fuego and Caster have since refused, but Bobo
and GC took umbrage at the idea of P&P stocking the Chosen, and have
quit... The father's have even burned an effigy of Bobo on a cross to show
that the split is final..."
"You have to wonder why P&P have taken such a match in the first
place, though... We know that they tried to get Tiger into the Chosen,
but he refused based on how P&P tended to interrupt our lesser-known
star's matches and beat them up before their interviews... P&P obviously
saw the error of their ways, and are having this match to be punished...
Weird things going on indeed..."
"And now we'll go to the ring for some action...
The crowd is on it's feet as Creedence Clearwater Revival's 'Run Through
the Jungle' is playing, which signifies Tiger's entrance..."
"Right you are, Dan... And as he slaps five with the fans we have to
admit that Tiger is one of the most loved of all the stars in the Nightmare..."
"Indeed, Lionel, Tiger almost seems to draw on
the fans for energy to get outta tough scrapes... All I can say is that
he'll need all the help he can get tonight..."
"Well, Dan, I think Tiger could surprise us... And now that Tiger's
in the ring, we are regaled by Yngwie Malmsteen's 'No Mercy', which is
the theme song for Bobo Fiendish... Appropriate choice of music don't you
think, Dan?"
"Hard to say, Lionel... I'm more of a country/western
afficionado, myself. We see that Fiendish has entered the ring, and has
crossed his arms across his chest... The referee calls for the bell, and
Tiger wastes no time... BEAUTIFUL standing dropkick onto Bobo, but the
monster doesn't BUDGE. Tiger switches tactics, and goes for a leg-scissor
takedown... Fiendish STILL doesn't move... Tiger rolls to his feet, quick
as lightning, and is screaming something at Bobo... Bobo is looking around..."
"It's like he refuses to acknowledge Tiger's presence, Dan... That
is just disgraceful! Tiger catches the gist of what Fiendish is doing,
and he runs to the ropes... Building up momentum... He leaps into the air
with a flying cross chop! OOOOO! Tiger's sent sprawling by a spinning roundhouse
kick from Fiendish!"
"Amazing show of martial arts prowess from Fiendish,
Lionel... You have to wonder if this monster's bag of tricks will ever
be empty... The fans are voicing their displeasure, and Fiendish goes back
to standing there with his arms crossed! Tiger hauls himself to a vertical
base, and sees that Fiendish is still basically ignoring him!"
"Tiger has GOT to be getting frustrated by Bobo's display, Dan..."
"Well, Tiger has to be careful not to let his
emotions cloud his judgement, because if you're not thinking clearly when
you're in there with Fiendish he'll eat you alive! Tiger runs to the ropes
again... Bobo goes for a spinning backfist... NO! Tiger goes under it and
dropkicks Fiendish in the KNEE! Bobo actually backed up a step!"
"Anyone else would be on the mat holding their leg, Dan... Tiger keeps
the assault going, and lands a series of punches and kicks that Bobo basically
just absorbs... Tiger tries for an Irish Whip, but Fiendish doesn't budge!
You might as well be trying to pull down a tree..."
"Remember, though, Lionel... Trees can be cut
down... Mountains can crumble... If anyone has the tools and the talent
to stop this monster, I think it's Tiger... Tiger tries an inside crescent
kick, Bobo ducks... OOOO! Powerful kneelift follow-up from Tiger that ROCKS
the big man! Tiger charges... And is DROPPED in his tracks by a double
axe-handle from Bobo! Fiendish moves in for the kill... He starts to pick
Tiger up, but Tiger grabs his head! JAWBREAKER! Bobo staggers back a few
steps from either the impact or from surprise..."
"Excellent counter from Tiger, Dan! Tiger wasting no time, and follows
up with a VICIOUS back-brain kick that keeps Fiendish off balance! He goes
for the Irish Whip! Bobo comes off the ropes! SPINEBUSTER! The fans are
on their feet! Tiger goes for a corkscrew elbow-drop, but Fiendish gets
out of the way! Fiendish is on his feet, and he goes for an elbow of his
own... Tiger avoids it! Now Tiger is on his feet, and he takes the boots
to Fiendish like nobody's business!"
"He's stomping on Bobo like the man's on fire,
Lionel... The crowd is going wild! What the? Bobo CAUGHT Tiger's foot!
He pushes Tiger away, and while still holding his foot, Bobo hauls himself
up to a vertical base! Tiger tries for an insagirii kick, but Bobo ducks...
Tiger is on the mat, and Bobo grabs his other leg... The monster pivots,
and swings Tiger through the air like a baseball bat! Tiger SLAMS into
the mat! Have you ever seen anything like this before?"
"Not since I was a kid watching those old Droopy-Dog cartoons, Dan...
One tends to concentrate on how tough and strong Fiendish is, and they
actually forget how FAST he is, which is a mistake Tiger is paying for
right now..."
"And Fiendish pivots again, and Tiger flies through
the air to where he was a few seconds ago... Fiendish pivots AGAIN, and
Tiger has another rough landing! I can't watch this, Lionel..."
"And Fiendish takes another pivot, and DUMPS Tiger back to the mat...
That has to be the 'Human Rugbeater' that Fiendish talked about... What
a sadistic move! Tiger has to be about done, now, and Bobo goes for the
cover... 1... 2... Tiger KICKS OUT! I can't believe it, Dan!"
"Neither can Fiendish, Lionel... Tiger drags
himself to a vertical base... OOOOO! Bobo NAILS him with a short clothesline
that practically turned Tiger inside out! Fiendish goes for the cover again...
1... 2.... Tiger KICKS OUT AGAIN!"
"And Bobo is BESIDE HIMSELF... He can't believe Tiger is still ALIVE,
much less still FIGHTING, Dan... Fiendish picks Tiger up... It looks like
he's going for his Choke-Slam Backbreaker... HURACUNRANA! Tiger COUNTERED!
I've seen EVERYTHING, now, Dan! Bobo gets to his feet in the corner, but
Tiger followed him in! Hurricane DDT! The fans are going bananas! Tiger
leaps to the top-turnbuckle! Could it be the Eight-Ten? It IS! Tiger does
his double-somersault... Oh NO!"
"Fiendish rolls to his side and brings up his
elbow! Tiger practically IMPALES himself! Bobo had Tiger's Finisher well-scouted,
and has COUNTERED it... Bobo's elbow catches Tiger in the solar plexus,
and Tiger's momentum does the rest! Fiendish drags Tiger to the middle
of the ring and goes for the cover... 1... 2... 3....! Bobo advances! Heartbreaking
loss for Tiger, and the fans are silenced... Fiendish gets to his feet
and the referee raises his arm! Bobo examines his handiwork as Tiger is
curled up in a fetal position from the impact... The monster has a good
belly-laugh at Tiger's misfortune, and stalks out of the ring..."
"An amazing match, to be sure... And our medical staff comes out to
check on Tiger now that Fiendish is gone.... They call for a stretcher!
Tiger is in bad shape from that 810 reversal, Dan..."
"That's why they call those moves 'high-risk',
Lionel... Sometimes they pay off, sometimes they don't... I just hope the
little guy's gonna be okay..."
"And as they carry Tiger from the ring to the ambulance parked outside,
I can say that all our prayers go with him... Tiger has come the closest
that ANYONE has to defeating this monster, and I for one am proud of him,
Dan..."
"Well said, Lionel... And now we go to our next
match in the Tourney... The 'Asian Sensation' Dr. Midnight versus the 'Ring
Wizard' Caster... Both men well schooled in technical and submission wrestling,
so this should be a good match."
"And we hear Metallica's 'Hero of the Day' which signifies Caster's
entrance... And here he comes, accompanied by the lovely Jazelle..."
"Caster is coming off quite an impressive win
last Wednesday against that BASTARD Gas Chamber, Lionel... Yet Midnight
is on a winning streak of his own... These men are so evenly matched it's
mind-boggling."
"And with the Japanese National Anthem playing, Dr. Midnight makes
his way to the ring, Dan... The fans might not like him, but only a fool
would discount Midnight's skill in the ring..."
"And the referee calls for the bell, and the
match is underway! Both men are circling each other, looking for an opening...
Collar and elbow tieup, and Caster pushes Dr. Midnight to the corner..."
"Those moves naturally favor the bigger man, which happens to be Caster...
Midnight has to change tactics... The referee calls for a clean break,
and he gets it... Caster steps back, and Midnight catches him with a stiff
forearm shiver! The ref warns Midnight about breaking clean, but Midnight
waves him away... Caster is trying to shake off the sucker-punch, but Midnight
FLOORS him with a spinning Sabot Kick! The fans voice their disapproval,
and Midnight flips them the BIRD! Disgusting display from the 'Asian Sensation',
Dan..."
"Midnight isn't interested in accolades from
the fans, Lionel... He applies an Asai Ankle Lock! Caster's obviously in
trouble now as Dr. Midnight works on his leg..."
"Midnight has used those tactics to great success in the past, Dan...
He retired Abu Mushiski, and devastated Sgt. Sledge last Wednesday... You
can't fault a man for sticking with what works..."
"Caster makes it to the ropes, and the referee
calls for the break... Midnight releases the hold, and then STOMPS on Caster's
knee while he's down! Jazelle looks very distraught at this turn of events,
and Midnight BLOWS HER A KISS! What a sickening display!"
"Midnight hauls Caster to his feet and executes an Irish Whip... Caster
comes off the ropes... OOOOO! Midnight has executed a shoulder tackle across
Caster's legs, dropping the Ring Wizard... He grabs Caster and puts him
in a half-crab, bearing down on his leg some more... This can't be good
for Caster....The referee checks... Caster refuses to submit... Do you
hear something, Dan?"
"Sounds like a fife and drums.... Oh MY! Sgt.
Sledge has come out with a Color Guard from the USMC! They have three flags...
The NWF Banner... The USMC standard... And OLD GLORY! Midnight SEES them,
and he can't believe it! He releases Caster and starts to badmouth Sledge...
Sledge brandishes Betsy, and Midnight backs up..."
"Anyone with two good brain cells would step back from a guy that hates
him when that guy has a fourteen pound sledgehammer, Dan... Midnight backs
up into CASTER! Caster executes a reverse DDT! Midnight goes down in a
heap! Caster climbs the ropes with surprising quickness, and does a SHOOTING
STAR PRESS! Midnight DODGES! Caster hits the mat like a plane crash! That
has to have knocked him silly, Dan."
"No doubt, Lionel... Midnight is up, and he pulls
something from his pocket... It's a tiny American Flag! He BLOWS his NOSE
in it!!! Sledge starts to come into the ring, but Jazelle gets in his way!"
"She obviously knows that if Sledge interferes, Midnight will advance
by DQ... Apparently, so does Midnight, as he WIPES his ASS with the tiny
representation of Old Glory! Sledge is going nuts on the outside, but Jazelle
is standing her ground... You have to admire her courage for coming between
the obviously incensed Sarge and the ring, Dan..."
"I think she's buying Caster time... Very smart
move on her part, Lionel... While Midnight gets into Sledge's head, Caster
is getting to his feet... Midnight sees him, and executes a jumping axe-kick
that drops Caster again! Midnight is in complete control, and he runs to
the ropes to build up steam... What the? Sledge hit him in the small of
the back with that HAMMER! The referee didn't see it! Midnight is writhing
in agony on the mat! Caster pulls himself to his feet, and straddles the
fallen Midnight... He hooks the Asian Sensation's legs! I think we're gonna
see the Wizard's Wand! We are! Caster grabs Midnight's arms and hauls him
up... He clamps it on!"
"Midnight submits almost immediately! The Wand stresses the lower back,
and Betsy helped soften that up something fierce, Dan! Caster advances
to face Fiendish in the finals! What a match!"
"You just know that Midnight isn't gonna let
Sledge's actions go unavenged, Lionel... When he sees the tape, we're gonna
have a WAR!"
"We already have one, Dan.... Sledge has answered Midnight's first
volley with a shot of his own! This is gonna be a feud to watch...."
"Caster leaves the ring, and Midnight is still
on the mat... Sledge jumps into the ring and starts to wail away at the
fallen Midnight... The referee breaks it up, and has to actually push Sledge
into the corner and hold him there... The ref signals for the medical staff
to come and rescue Midnight, and they do... Midnight is loaded onto a stretcher
and carried away... The ref releases Sledge, who immediately gets in his
face..."
"Obviously, Sledge is pretty upset that the ref wouldn't let him beat
on Dr. Midnight... The ref stands his ground, and calls for the next match...
Verbal is coming out to the ring along with his pet weirdo Tim.... Verbal
is now trying to calm down Sledge... Now we hear Gas Chamber's music, and
the big man saunters to the ring... He looks at the scene before him, and
jumps into the ring... He grabs Sledge and spins him around to face him...
Sledge looks like he's gonna take a swing at his partner for this Penance
Match, but GC grabs him on either side of his head and pulls him in close...
GC is saying something to Sledge, but we don't have a clue what... Sledge
is nodding, and GC lets him go... Whatever GC said, it seems to have assuaged
Sledge's rage..."
"Well, from the look on Sledge's face, it's only
brought the rage under control, Lionel... Sarge looks like he could burn
a hole through a cinderblock by staring at it... And now we hear the Gregorian
Chant that signifies Heaven's Messengers entrance... And here they come,
sprinkling Holy Water on the fans... GC herds his partners into their corner,
and it looks like he's gonna start it... Father Pain and Punishment climb
up to the apron... AND GC CLOBBERS them with a double clothesline that
sends them to the floor!"
"Well, Dan.... The Fathers DID say that they wanted to be punished...
Holy Water spills everywhere as P&P hit the floor... GC has a good
laugh at this, and tags in Verbal..."
"That doesn't make any sense, Lionel... The match
hasn't even STARTED... It CAN'T until either Pain or Punishment hit the
ring! Verbal executes an Asai Moonsault that flattens P&P on the outside!
He grabs Father Pain and rolls him into the ring... The referee signals
the start of the match, and Verbal puts Pain in a cross-arm breaker...
GC hops down from the apron, and runs through Father Punishment with a
kitchen-sink kneelift!"
"Verbal has released the hold, and drives the point of his knee into
Father Pain's shoulder! It looks like Pain is gonna be on his own in this
match, Dan..."
"GC is still hammering away at Pun on the outside...
GC executes a VICIOUS belly-to-belly suplex on Pun, DRIVING him to the
floor... Lionel, I don't know if P&P are up to paying this kind of
Penance...."
"Me either, Dan... Verbal tags in Sledge, and Sledge hits Pain with
a corkscrew legdrop! He picks up the battered Father, and executes a STUNNING
Power Bomb on Pain... Sledge goes for the cover, but Pain kicks out on
one! Great show of heart on Father Pain's part, Dan..."
"Pun is still on the outside, and GC is still
throwing him a beating... He Irish Whips Pun into the RINGPOST! Pun goes
down, and GC takes the boots to him! These former allies have turned bitter
enemies and it shows..."
"Indeed it does, Dan... Sledge tags Verbal back in, and Verbal FLOORS
Pain with a springboard flying clothesline! These two priests are being
manhandled in there, and I don't know how much more they can take..."
"Well, Lionel, P&P are tough customers...
They just fell prey to the ol' Divide and Conquer tactic, as Pain has no
help... Neither does Pun... When you neutralize a tag-team's teamwork,
you pretty much neutralize the tag team itself, Lionel... Solid strategy
from GC... I guess that's what he was explaining to Sledge."
"Hard to say, Dan... GC now has Pun up.... Running TIGER BOMB THROUGH
the timekeeper's TABLE! Oh, GEEZE! GC is RUTHLESSLY disassembling Father
Punishment on the outside!"
"And Pain isn't doing much better, Lionel...
Verbal catches him flush with a Roaring Elbow! Pain goes down! Verbal executes
a standing Moonsault to go for the cover! 1... 2... ALMOST! Pain just BARELY
manages to get the shoulder up! Verbal releases Pain, and starts to go
for the tag... Pain grabs him! Verbal gets tied up in a Small Package!
1... 2... OOOOO! Excellent save from Sledge! The referee sends Sledge back
to his corner, and Verbal goes to the eyes of Pain! Verbal throws Pain
into his corner! He's ducking under Pain, and lifts the priest up onto
his shoulders... He tags in Sledge, who climbs the turnbuckle... NECKBREAKER!
Pain comes down HARD with Sledge on top of him! The referee makes the count....
1... 2.... Pain KICKS OUT! How does he DO IT?"
"I have no idea, Dan... Pun is still catching hell on the outside...
GC gathers him up... PILEDRIVER! Pun is busted open and writhing on the
floor in agony! GC isn't through with the priest yet... He picks the good
priest up on his shoulders in a TORTURE RACK! What's he doing? He shifts
his grip on the priest...and DEATH VALLEY DRIVERS him on the outside! Oh
my GOD! It's like GC is trying to DESTROY Father Punishment! It's gruesome!
But Sledge is still the legal man, and he throws Pain to the ropes... OOOOO!"
"What a Heart Punch from the Sarge! Pain goes
down in a heap! Sarge goes for the cover... 1.... 2.... AGAIN Pain kicks
free! Sarge takes the boots to the priest in frustration... He tags in
Verbal again, and they BOTH take the boots to Pain... This is just horrible,
Lionel... P&P are practically throwing away their careers!"
"GC is still tearing Pun to shreds on the outside... Pun tries to fire
back, but there isn't much behind those shots... GC double axe-handles
Pun, and climbs back to the apron... He's just left Pun for dead, and watches
as Verbal puts Pain in a suplex... Pain BLOCKS... Verbal tries again, but
Pain blocks it again... Pain pulls Verbal up in a vertical suplex! GC and
Sledge start to enter the ring, but Pun hauls them down to the floor! RECONCILER!
Verbal gets DUMPED! Pain goes for the cover! 1.... 2.... 3....! I can't
believe it! P&P win! P&P WIN! GC and Sledge are stunned by this
turn of events, and DOUBLE SUPLEX Pun across the STEEL! GC and Sledge part
company and take separate paths to the dressing room, leaving Verbal where
he lay... What a match! What BRUTALITY! What time is it?"
"Time to say good-night, Lionel! For all of us
here at the Nightmare Wrestling Foundation... Drive safely. We'll see you
for Wicked Wednesday for the Finals of the Gold Rush Tourney, as well as
other exciting matchups, in the United Center in Chicago, Illinois! See
you there!"
