EFW Monday Night Mayhem
The MCI Center
Washington, DC
(The Mayhem opening credits fade out and the camera pans around to view the capacity Washington crowd. Several signs offer get-well wishes to Paul Savage. One young fan is holding up a sign which reads, "Go Kyosuke!". Larry Wunarrme is standing in the ring)
LARRY: Ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to ask you for a moment of silence as we ring the bell 10 times in honor of Paul Savage.
(The crowd complies and each bell sound seems to echo throughout the arena. After the 10th bell, the EFW screen at the top of the ramp lights up and plays a tribute to Paul Savage's career in the EFW. As the last frame is shown the Mayhem pyro explodes and the fans stand and cheer. The camera switches to ringside where Sam Michaels and "Odd" Abe sit behind the announcer's table)
SAM: Hello once again, EFW fans, and WELCOME to Mayhem! We are coming to you LIVE from the MCI Arena in Washington, DC, where the EFW is still feeling the effects of the vicious attack on Paul Savage a mere two days ago. Sam Michaels here, along with…
ABE: The number one play by play man in the history of wrestling and living Olympic Legend…
SAM: …"Odd" Abe. Nice to see you in semi-formal attire.
ABE: I thought I'd show a little respect for the demise of Paul Savage's career… brief and uneventful as it was.
SAM: If that's what you call an undefeated streak the likes of which we've never seen from a rookie, then yes, it was "uneventful". Our hearts and prayers go out to Paul Savage and his friends and family. Get well soon Paul, and we hope to see you back in that ring someday.
ABE: But Scorpion wishes he could get back in the ring TONIGHT, because NOW he has no partner going in to that Steel Cage against the Hell Patrol. And you better believe Black Scorpion and Grim Reaper aren't going to show any sympathy or remorse in their debut match!
SAM: We've received word from the back that if nobody steps forward, Scorpion will have to step into the cage ALONE. We'll keep you updated on that situation as it develops. Also tonight:

The "Extreme" Condo Warrior v. El Torro Rojo
EFW Light Heavyweight Tournament Semi-Finals
LARRY: Ladies and gentlemen, our first contest of the evening is a semi-final match in the EFW Light Heavyweight Tournament! ('Creeping Death' hits the speakers and the crowd boos so loud you can barely hear the announcement) Introducing first, being accompanied by Jade…. He weighs in at 160 lb. and hails from Every Woman's Most Perverted Fantasy… he represents the Pantheon… THE "EXTREME" CONDO WARRIOR!!!)
(Jade leads Condo through the curtain and the trash starts to fly. They are oblivious to it, however, and seem to be all business tonight as they march to the ring without Condo's usual cocky antics. On the big screen at the top of the ramp footage is shown of Condo defeating Exodus in the first round. Jade grabs Larry by the shoulder and applies a pinch that brings him to his knees. Condo gets in his face and points his finger at him, yelling something inaudible)
LARRY: Excuse me ladies and gentlemen… the Condo Warrior wishes to be announced as the REAL Light Heavyweight Champion of the World!
(The boos grow even louder at this and Condo merely spreads his arms and smiles as he drinks it all in; Jade releases Larry and exits the ring to take her place in Condo's corner)
LARRY: And his opponent… (El Torro Rojo's music comes on and the fans cheer as the newcomer comes running through the curtain) weighing in at 224 lb. and hailing from Parts Unknown… EL TORRO ROJO!! (on the big screen footage is shown of El Torro Rojo defeating Humphrey in the first round)
SAM: Torro had quite a debut last week putting away Humphrey. This is only his 2nd match in the EFW and he doesn't look intimidated at all by the wily Condo Warrior.
ABE: Well, it IS Condo…. I don't think a one legged, armless leper would be intimidated by Condo…
SAM: True, but he has momentum coming into this match, having defeated Doom at Massacre. Torro is in the ring now… Condo's not waiting for the bell! We're underway folks and Condo wants to put El Torro Rojo away in a hurry. Punch by Condo. Superkick…. Torro ducks and Snapmares him to the mat! Both men back up with a collar and elbow tie-up… Condo with a drop toe hold. Both men up again… Torro locks on a Back Roll Necklock… Condo sticks a foot on the bottom rope and the hold is broken! Condo is up and he's MAD!
ABE: The little punk thinks he has a copyright on all submissions or something…
SAM: Torro with a quick European Uppercut… Condo's holding his jaw after that one! Torro moves in, Condo ducks behind him… Kataha-jime!! Condo has it locked in tightly… Torro refuses to give… Condo lets go. He doesn't want to tire himself out this early. Condo with an Elbow Stamp across Torro's head, knocking him to the mat. Condo with a Snap Mare followed by some vicious stomps… Torro grabs an ankle and trips him up! Torro up now… Snap Mare… ANOTHER Snap Mare… Condo blocks a third attempt and locks on a headlock. What's Jade doing on the apron? The ref goes over to argue with her… what's Condo doing going to the outside… HE'S GOT A CHAIR… just BLASTED Torro across the head! There's no call for this! Jade drops down but the damage is done! Torro staggers to his feet… Condo just measuring him with jabs now… left, left, left, and a big time right hand drops Torro. STOMP TO THE GROIN! C'mon, ref, get some control in there!
ABE: Come on, Torro, you can't let this putz beat you! There are bigger, better athletes for you to job off to!
SAM: Condo unwrapping the tape from his wrist… just CHOKING Torro with it now! I thought this was supposed to be a WRESTLING match?? Condo's signaling for the Stone Cold Killer… Torro blocks it! Torro DRIVES a Knee into Condo's calf. Torro with a Body Slam… he locks on a Crucifix Knee Lock! Condo is SCREAMING… but he won't give up! Rake to the eyes breaks the hold and Condo scrambles to his feet… he blindsides Torro with a punch… there's an Irish Whip… JUMPING SPIN KICK TO THE JAW on the rebound! Torro is DOWN! What a maneuver by the Condo Warrior, and he KNOWS it!
CONDO: WHOOOOO!!!
ABE: Do you hear Nature calling?
SAM: Condo's going for the Figure Four… and he's got it locked on! Condo a proud Ric Flair fan and a definite believer in this move! Torro's in pain but refuses to give… Torro's fighting it… he's going to reverse it…. he does! Condo releases the hold and works out the kinks in his leg as Torro does the same. Punching back and forth now. Torro with a go-behind… STONE COLD KILLER!!! Condo planted Torro to the mat with that patented Ace Crusher of his!
ABE: Dammit! You know what THAT's the signal for…
SAM: Is he going for Uncle Condo? THERE IT IS!!! Uncle Condo #2!!! Condo's got it locked on tight… Torro is in serious pain here and Condo is laughing like a madman! The ref is asking but Torro is holding on… he's inching Condo to the ropes… closer… closer… Condo breaks the hold and starts stomping his back! Smart save by Condo there. He lifts Torro up.. Torro with a go-behind reversal… GROIN KICK!
ABE: Ooh, Mrs. Torro won't be happy with that one!
SAM: More stomps from Condo… he SLAPPED Torro in the face! What arrogance from this guy… TORRO WITH A BODY SLAM!!! Torro is ENRAGED! He's straddling him and just punching him on the ground… left, right, left, right…the ref is counting but Torro isn't listening! Ref grabs him by the arm and pulls him off! Torro looks like he's going to hit the ref now, don't risk a DQ! Condo with a groin uppercut from behind! STONE COLD KILLER again plants him back down! He's locking on the Kataha-jime again! Torro is in pain here but he refuses to give! Condo releases the hold in frustration. Condo's going to try the Killer again… BLOCKED! Torro with an Arm Crucifix hold!!! Condo scrambles to the ropes and it's broken!
ABE: This is like watching them make pretzels at the concession stand! They're tying each other in knots!
SAM: Both men down now trying to catch their breath. They're back up… punch by Condo, punch by Torro… back and forth… Irish Whip by Condo, reversed by Torro… REVERSED by Condo… Jumping Spin Kick levels Torro! Condo runs to the ropes… HIGH Knee Drop! Another tribute to Ric Flair there. He misses the superkick… Torro's going for the Charging Bull… Condo slips out and turns it into a TOMBSTONE!!! He's signaling for the Figure Four!!! IT'S LOCKED ON!!! Torro is fighting it, Ref goes in close to check him… Condo's grabbing the ropes for leverage! Turn around ref, come on! Condo quickly releases the ropes when the ref looks up. Come on, Ref, the ropes are shaking for a REASON. AND HE KNOWS IT! He forces Condo to break the hold! Great call by the referee! Torro takes him down and quickly applies a Crucifix Knee Lock… Condo too close to the ropes! These two are determined to make the other man give up!

That HAS to be it, El Torro Rojo has just suffered too much damage.. HE'S NOT GIVING UP!!! How is this kid holding on? Condo can't believe he's taking one of his signature offensive maneuvers! Torro is going to reverse it…. he's going… Condo quickly lets go and lifts him up… NORTHERN LIGHT'S SUPLEX…. 1… 2… 3!!! He's done it… NO! The ref says he got his shoulder up! Jade is on the apron and screaming at the ref! If looks could kill that Referee would have two eye shaped holes burning in his head right now! URANAGE by Condo! He is fuming that this match isn't over. He's hit Torro with every bit of offense he can muster and the kid just keeps coming. He drags Torro to the middle of the ring… what are we going to see here? A pose, of course… oh yeah, Condo, you've got this match in the bag… right. What's he doing on the outside again… he's grabbing that bogus belt of his! OH come on, ref, do something… HE BLASTED TORRO ACROSS THE HEAD! Torro is busted open! Condo has snapped, he's on his knees SCREAMING into Torro's face! Why doesn't the ref DQ him??

ABE: I'm actually… "enjoying" a Condo match. I feel so dirty…
SAM: Condo has him set for another Uranage… Torro reverses it into a Reverse Crucifix Knee Lock! What a maneuver! How is this kid doing this? What is driving him on.

He's crawling toward the ropes… can he make it… yes, the hold is broken and both men are down. What a match-up we're seeing here fans! Condo has gotten to his feet and is dragging Torro away from the ropes…. UNCLE CONDO! That Roll Forward Camel Clutch that has served him so well in the past is the move he's going to now to try and put this tough, TOUGH El Torro Rojo away… Torro won't give up! HE'S SITTING UP!!!

He's going outside! Why isn't he going for the win?
ABE: If after all these years I know this little bastard at all, he's going for that table.
SAM: Dear God NO! He's got a table from under the ring and is sliding it in the ring!!! Jade's on the other side and pulling out a second table! Somebody stop this! Condo sets up his table as Jade slides hers in. The referee is arguing with Jade now… Condo's stacking the tables! He's picking up Torro now… he's laid him on the top table! Now what.. he's climbing up after him! Both men standing on the stacked tables now… TORRO IS PUNCHING AT CONDO!

The referee turns around too late! Both men are down! Condo is INSANE! Jade is slapping the mat for her man to get up! He's rolling over… he's pushing himself up… Condo is groggy, but standing. Torro hasn't moved an inch. Condo locks on the Figure Four… this is academic, Torro isn't responding… the ref checks his hand once… twice… come on Torro, lift that arm…
ABE: PLEASE lift that arm!
SAM: …. It drops a third time. The ref calls for the bell and Condo is going to win this match!
RESULT:
The "Extreme" Condo Warrior d. El Torro Rojo via submission (14:26)
SAM: Jade joins Condo in the ring to celebrate. She hands him the "REAL" Light Heavyweight belt and he holds it up high as the ring fills with trash!
ABE: This is only the first match and already the ring is filling up with garbage!
(The lights in the arena go out)
SAM: What the…? Who is this, the Inquisition?
ABE: Nah, has to be the Apocalypse. Condo winning two matches in a row is a sure sign of that…
SAM: Lights are back on now and…. EXODUS IS ON THE TOP ROPE!! Condo doesn't see him! Jade is pointing, trying to warn him…. SWAN DIVE HEEL KICK LEVELS CONDO!! Jade goes for a high kick, Exodus ducks… NAGAYO DRIVER on Jade! She's down on the mat! Exodus climbs the turnbuckle and cheers to the fans, who are going ballistic! Condo is up and has dragged Jade out of the ring now and he's hightailing it out of there! Thank God there are some medics out to check on El Torro Rojo now, what a performance he gave. Condo stops at the top of the ramp to look back and Jade has recovered slightly… EXODUS IS LOOSENING HIS MASK!!
ABE: YES!!! I've got Jersey Boy with disfigured face in the office pool! Come on, let's see it!
SAM: Condo is confused but Jade is elated! Look at that smirk on her face as Exodus reveals his face to the world… IT'S KYOSUKE IMORI!!!
ABE: DAMMIT!! I'm out 300 bucks!
SAM: It was a psyche-out, Abe. Jade is enraged! She tries to rush the ring but Condo holds her back, whispering something in her ear. Kyo yells in his native tongue as Condo drags Jade behind the curtain! This situation's just starting folks!

(on the big screen footage is shown of Legion defeating Narcisse Prince in the first round)
)
(Legion steps through the ring ropes and waits in his corner as “Just a Gigolo” starts playing. The crowd’s reaction is mixed as Bane steps through the curtain. The women in the arena screech in delight.
LARRY: And his opponent… weighing in at 200 lb. and hailing from Somewhere in Time… representing the Sickos on Parade… BANE!!!
(Bane stops to watch as footage of him defeating Moebius is shown on the big screen. He looks toward Legion in the ring and smiles arrogantly before motioning to the back. The music fades out as “In the Hall of the Mountain King” starts playing. The curtains part once again as Achilles, Bo Abobo, Weehawk (dragging an excited Humphrey along on a leash), and Vermin walk down the aisle)
SAM: IT’S THE SICKOS!!! What the hell are they doing out here??
ABE: They’re out here to watch as Bane puts on a clinic for the fans! Ha ha, this time I’m in the money for SURE!
SAM: Legion’s chances of advancing to the finals just decreased tremendously! How is he going to overcome these DDT’s? To his credit, he doesn’t seem to care one way or the other! Bane steps through the ropes and gives a quick “pose for the ladies” as the ref calls for the opening bell. Bane rushes Legion… Drop Toe Hold puts introduces Bane’s face to the mat. Legion is quick. Bane quickly back up with a Kick… Legion catches it and trips up the other leg. Bane looking a little clumsy in there.

Snap Mare, he holds on and picks him up for a slam… Legion with a small package… Bane kicks out! Legion quickly drops an Elbow across the calf of Bane while he’s down. Bane holding that knee as he gets up. Legion rushes in… CHOP by Bane! And another! Repeatedly laying in with those hard chops to the chest!
ABE: The people in the nosebleed section can hear those!
SAM: Legion starting to feel those, and who can blame him! Bane has him set for a Double Arm Suplex… Legion blocks it… he back dropped Bane right over the top rope! The fans are in awe of that one! Legion poses for the crowd as Bane slowly gets back in the ring. Drop Toe Hold puts Bane down, and Legion follows with a Knee Drop across the back. Another knee! Bane holding his back as he starts to rise… Legion measures him… AXE KICK to the back of the neck puts Bane down again. Another Knee Drop, continuing to focus on that back. Legion locks on a Headlock… Bane reverses it into a Back Suplex! Both men slow to rise… Legion with a sidekick… caught by Bane… ENZUI GIRI nearly takes Bane’s head off!
ABE: Come on Bane!
SAM: The ladies let out a gasp at that one. Legion back to work on that back now. He bounces off the ropes… HIGH Double Knee Drop across the back! Legion being very methodical here. He waits for Bane to rise… Nyman Kick… Bane catches him… BACK BREAKER puts Legion down! Now he’s just stomping him in the groin over and over again! Ref chastising Bane but he isn’t even listening. I’m surprised the Sickos are behaving themselves out there.
ABE: Of course! Why wouldn’t they?
SAM: Oh, man, Abe… Bane drops a quick elbow and picks him up…. Legion with a Wristlock and a twist, and he takes Bane down to the mat. Off the ropes and delivers another Double Knee Drop to the back of Bane. Legion applies an Abdominal Stretch… he’s rolling him into a pin… 1… 2…
BANE: No!
SAM: BANE KICKS OUT! He rushes in… SMALL PACKAGE by Legion! 1… 2… KICK OUT again!! Bane backs up several steps after that one. Legion just staring at him and waiting. Bane could be in serious trouble here. Vermin calls him over and whispers in his ear. Bane nodding his head and gets to his feet. The fun and games are over now, I think. Bane has a serious expression on his face. Hip Throw by Bane followed by a quick elbow drop. Legion back to the Wristlock, and takes him down… jumping elbow drop. He goes for the pin again… 1… 2… kick out at 2! Bane is up and in the face of the ref! The ref backs him up to the middle of the ring… Weehawk trips up Legion from the outside! Legion landed HARD on his face from that. The ref turns around and looks at Weehawk.
ABE: What are you talking about? I was cleaning my glasses there for a second…
SAM: Sure Abe… Bane’s going for the Dory Funk Drop… Legion reverses it into a Vertical Suplex! GIANT SWING by Legion sends Bane into the corner! Legion a bit dizzy after that one. Bane gets up quickly and delivers another Backbreaker! He picks Legion up… BACK BRAIN HEEL KICK by Legion and Bane falls to the mat! Bane keeps making a comeback, but nothing seems to faze Legion for long! Legion back to working on the back. He runs to the ropes… Vermin pulls the top rope down and Legion comes tumbling to the outside! Bane has the ref distracted as Bo picks Legion up and whips him toward Humphrey… Karate Kick by Humphrey nearly takes Legion’s head off! Weehawk petting him now…
ABE: Good boy!
SAM: Vermin rolls Legion back in the ring as Bane let’s the ref go. He feigns innocence as Bane starts stomping Legion on the neck. He looks confident in there now… LEGION WITH A KITO CLUTCH…. 1… 2….
ABE: No, Vermin, Weehawk, GOD, anybody….
SAM: BANE KICKS OUT!!! Legion doesn’t miss a beat as he picks Bane back up… THE THOUSAND VOICES!!! His version of the Tiger Neck Chancre puts Bane down hard!

ABE: I wanna know who Imori paid off to get this cushy 2nd round spot without having to fight anybody in the 1st round.
SAM: It’s the luck of the draw, Abe. And if we HAD any corrupt referees like Condo keeps saying, than surely he or Bane would have gotten this bye.
ABE: Are you questioning the integrity of BANE??
SAM: There’s no “question” about it! Hip Throw by Imori. Ring Lord answers with a series of Knee Lifts to the stomach. Snap Mare by Kyo. Ring Lord quickly up with more Knee Lifts… he holds on to Kyo and turns it into a Gut Wrench Suplex! Nice combination from Gan Wuyin! Judo Trip puts Kyo down again… Somersault Senton by Ring Lord!

RESULT:
“Ring Lord” Gan Wuyin d. Kyosuke Imori via pinfall (7:08)
SAM: Both men exchanging glances now… Kyo is sticking out his hand!
ABE: I love this trick!
SAM: Wuyin is hesitant… he accepts! They shake hands! Kyo showing true sportsmanship…
ABE: What? He didn’t kick him in the gut, or pearl harbor him with a punch! Doesn’t this kid know ANYTHING about wrestling??
SAM: He knows a whole lot more than you do do.. wait… IT’S JADE! Neither man sees her as she runs to the ring. Kyo, turn around…. HIGH KICK nearly decapitates Kyosuke Imori! She’s on the ground clawing at his eyes now! Ring Lord grabs her by the waist and pulls her off… she tries to strike him but he catches her by the wrist and holds her down… CONDO IS OUT! He brings that bogus belt of his CRASHING across the back of the head of Gan Wuyin! Jade goes back to Kyo and just grinds her heel into his groin as Condo stomps Ring Lord for good measure as officials run to the ring and force them back to the locker room. Jade spits on Kyo before leaving. This is sickening!
SAM: Team Hellfire out to assist Ring Lord, but he just shakes them off angrily. They leave the ring in a hurry. Kyosuke Imori isn’t too far behind.
ABE: I think Condo and Jade better get the Hell outta Dodge before that group finds them.
Onslaught vs Hannibal Lecter
SAM: This next match coming up came about as a result of Chance of a Lifetime 3. Hannibal and Onslaught crossed paths in that event and brawled all over the arena even after they were eliminated. Onslaught asked for this match a couple of weeks back and Hannibal was more than happy to sign the contract. Let’s go down to Larry for the introductions.
LARRY: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. (‘Follow the Wurms’ begins to play to a silent reaction; when Hannibal appears from the curtain the crowd boos loudly) Introducing first, being accompanied by The Wurms… he weighs in at 350 lb. and hails from Thailand… he is the LEADER of the Wurms… HANNIBAL LECTOR!!!
(Hannibal slowly walks down the aisle as Nightshade, Doom, Abaddon, and Atlas surround him, deflecting trash thrown in his direction and outright attacking fans that even try to yell at him. Finally, Hannibal grabs a microphone and steps into the ring)
HANNIBAL: Onslaught, your little friend is the luckiest man alive right now that he escaped us with all his limbs. I don't care if The Wizard gave you a brain or not, get out here now because it's time I introduced my foot to your ass!! (he hands the mic to a ring attendant as ‘South of Heaven’ hits the speakers and the more “hardcore” fans jump to their feet and cheer as the rest of the crowd boos)
LARRY: And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by his partner, Widowmaker… weighing in at 385 lb. and hailing from Parts Unknown… he is the co-holder of the EFW World Tag Team Championship… one half of the Warhounds… ONSLAUGHT!!!
(The Warhounds storm through the curtains. Widowmaker gives the Texas Longhorn to the fans, but Onslaught only stares at one thing: Hannibal. Onslaught jumps from the floor to the ring apron in one motion and steps over the top rope, walking right up to Hannibal. Widowmaker stops the timekeeper and motions for him to “leave it to him”. He takes his cowbell and bangs it hard against the steel post)
SAM: What a staredown, fans! Neither man intimidated by the other… Hannibal throws the first punch… BLOCKED… Onslaught with a haymaker of his own… blocked! This is starting out as a brawl, folks, and I don’t think it’s going to deviate from that! Onslaught with a massive Forearm Shot to the back sends Hannibal down… Falling Head-butt! Hannibal up and locks on a Front Headlock squeezing at Onslaught’s tree trunk-like neck…. Onslaught just shoves him away! Onslaught has him up on his shoulders in a backbreaker… he brings him CRASHING across the knee with the Human Torture Breaker!
ABE: I like these Wurms. Anybody that comes out and renounces their Canadian heritage is okay in my book.
SAM: … Abe, they weren’t REALLY Canadian, you DO know that, don’t you?
ABE: Huh? Come on, nobody would come out and PRETEND to be Canadian! That’s like coming out and pretending you live in a trailer and married your sister.
SAM: I don’t know why I bother folks. Onslaught picks Hannibal up… High Angle Body Slam OVER the top rope to the concrete floor! Hannibal is holding his back in pain! Hannibal back in… Onslaught moves in… vicious Toe Kick slumps Onslaught over… Ax Handle puts him down to his knees. Hannibal just stomping him now. Onslaught gets to his feet and Hannibal blasts him with a big Hammer Punch… NO EFFECT! Onslaught grabs Hannibal by the throat and just lifts the man up above his head in a Choke Hang!
ABE: Jesus! They’re practically the same size and Onslaught is just tossing him around like a rag doll!
SAM: Hannibal throws a Forearm shot to the face, forcing Onslaught to break the hold. Good God, a BLATANT kick to the groin by Hannibal, and Onslaught felt that one, that’s for sure! Hannibal throws another punch… blocked! Onslaught answers with a big Hammer Punch of his own that rocks Hannibal back! Onslaught with a Front Headlock…. Ow! Did you hear the sound of that Forearm shot across the back! Not too many men can handle Hannibal like this. Then again, not too many men could TAKE these shots from Onslaught and keep getting up. Hannibal trying to punch the Monster down but they’re having no effect… Onslaught whips him into the corner and moves in… Hannibal with a desperation Knee Lift to the stomach and locks on a Choke Sleeper on the mat, trying to tire the big man out. Onslaught shrugs him off! He whips Hannibal to the ropes… here comes a big Lariat… Hannibal just steamrolled right over him! Hannibal quick to take advantage… Onslaught with a huge boot to the midsection…. Looks like a piledriver coming up… no, it’s a FACE BUSTER! Onslaught bringing all his weight down on Hannibal with that move! Falling Head-butt to the back of Hannibal, and the Wurms look somewhat concerned on the outside. Onslaught lifts Hannibal to his knees… Hannibal with a HEAD-BUTT to the GROIN! That slowed the Monster down and Hannibal takes a quick breather. He’s just hammering the big man with punch after punch, trying to keep him down. Onslaught shoves him to the mat… a Groin Head-butt of his own!
ABE: YeeOW! That’s gotta hurt even more with that hockey mask on.
SAM: Both men brawling back and forth now… Hannibal with a Toe Kick… and a Reverse Neckbreaker! Onslaught right back up… Hannibal DDT’s him back to the mat! Good grief he’s just repeatedly dropping his head into Onslaught’s groin! One, two, three, four times! The ref is admonishing him but he just stares coldly back and the ref shuts up. He’s picking Onslaught up… Big Punch to the stomach of Hannibal by Onslaught, who drops him with a huge Head-butt! Onslaught returning the favor now with repeated Falling Head-butts to the abdomen! He’s got Hannibal in a Canadian Backbreaker now… he’s pointing to the corner? He’s running…. RAMMED Hannibal upside-down and stomach first into the turnbuckle! More falling Head-butts! He picks him up… Hannibal catches him off guard and turns him over into Tombstone position… Jumping Tombstone plants Onslaught into the mat! Such devastating maneuvers and these two big men just keep going! Hannibal’s dragging him to the center of the ring… THE IRON FIST!! The former “O’Canada” has left many men with broken and bruised faces before Hannibal ever let up… Onslaught throws him off! Hannibal is stunned and angry! Onslaught throws a Lariat, Hannibal ducks… Onslaught grabs him around the waist… THUNDER FIRE POWERBOMB!! The ring shook from that impact! Onslaught leaps in the air and comes crashing across Hannibal’s chest with a splash… 1… 2.. KICK OUT!
ABE: This is GREAT! It’s like watching King Kong v. Godzilla! I wish I had some pop-corn!
SAM: Hannibal DDT’s him to the mat… Onslaught up and Hannibal scoops him upside down.. K-DRILLER! And Hannibal back to the Iron Fist… ref reaches a count of 2 before Onslaught tosses him off again! I know Onslaught is tough, but those punches of Hannibal’s have knocked men out cold before! SHOULDER-LOCK ENZUI GIRI by Hannibal and Onslaught falls to the mat! There’s a Choke Sleeper applied… Onslaught tries to switch around out of it but Hannibal just turns it into a Front Headlock. Wearing down Onslaught with stretches now where his fists have failed. Hannibal has him up in Suplex position now… drops him to the mat with a Dangerous DDT! Hannibal looks to be in control of this match now. Groin stomp, followed by a Groin Head-butt! He picks him up.. ANOTHER Jumping Tombstone! Hannibal pulling out all the stops to keep Onslaught down. Hannibal distracts the referee… Onslaught staggers to his feet… Doom is on the apron with a chair! He smacked Onslaught right across the head with it! He’s still standing! Doom brings it down again! Look at that dent! Onslaught finally falls back down to the mat with a loud “Thud”. Doom is back down from the apron… Widowmaker’s got that bull-rope around his arm and running… LARIAT FROM HELL ON DOOM! Doom turned over 360 degrees from that one! Hannibal leaning over the ropes and yelling at the other Wurms to get Widowmaker! Onslaught is up and Hannibal runs in for a Clothesline… Onslaught catches him by the throat! DEVASTATOR to the mat!

ABE: (mouthful of popcorn) I rove djis!
SAM: Onslaught Powerbombs him down to the mat! Falling Head-butt to the neck! Hannibal back up and hits a Dangerous DDT! THE IRON FIST!! This is like a train wreck! They’re just going to keep colliding until one of them collapses! Onslaught throws him off… LARIAT knocks Hannibal down! He’s got him by the throat, he’s giving the signal! Atlas and Abaddon are brawling with the Widowmaker on the outside and the ref goes over to break it up… he doesn’t see Nightshade get in the ring… UPPERCUT TO THE GROIN forces Onslaught to let go! Hannibal gasps in some air as he lifts Onslaught up in a Tombstone… Nightshade stands on the 2nd turnbuckle… SPIKE TOMBSTONE on Onslaught! Hannibal applies a choke sleeper as Nightshade slides out of the ring…. The ref is checking… Onslaught isn’t responding! He rings the bell! Hannibal’s going to steal one!
RESULT:
Hannibal Lector d. Onslaught via submission (10:58)
SAM: Widowmaker just KO’d Abaddon with that cowbell and is in the ring brawling with Atlas now! Nightshade over to lend a hand while Hannibal continues to beat on Onslaught. Nightshade and Atlas double whip Widowmaker to the ropes… he ducks the double clothesline! They turn around… DOUBLE LARIAT FROM HELL! Both men flip over the top rope to the floor! Hannibal is bent over Onslaught, screaming at his prone body…. ONSLAUGHT GRIPS HIS HAND AROUND HIS THROAT!! Hannibal is clutching as the big man slowly rises to his feet. Onslaught has him up high… DEVASTATOR!!! The other four Wurms are back in now to face off with the two Warhounds and we have a pier six brawl here! FINALLY we have some officials out here to break this up!
ABE: (takes a slurp from his soda) Let ‘em go! After all that zipping around the ring earlier we could use a good fight!
SAM: The Wurms are being forced to the back, but Hannibal is just pointing and screaming at the ring. The Warhounds remain in the ring motioning for the group to come back. Onslaught is favoring his neck, that Tombstone would have killed an ordinary man! I don’t think we’ve seen the end of this one, folks.
MAIN EVENT
No Holds Barred Steel Cage Match
Scorpion / ??? v. The Hell Patrol
SAM: Whew that was a wild one. The ring crew is constructing the steel cage for the main event as we speak. Word from the back is that Scorpion still doesn’t have a partner, Abe.
ABE: Well then he should get in his car and drive away as fast as he can. He can’t take on the Hell Patrol by himself, especially in a steel cage!
SAM: Scorpion won’t do that and you know it. He’s made of sterner stuff than that. These cages have ended careers before, as we saw at Massacre in the case of Paul Savage. Will history repeat itself tonight? The cage is built, all we need are the participants. Let’s go down to Larry for the announcement of the main event.
LARRY: Ladies and gentlemen, it is NOW time for our MAIN EVENT!!! This is a Steel Cage Tag Team Match, and there are NO HOLDS BARRED! The match will continue until one team can no longer continue!

Black Scorpion and Grim Reaper… THE HELL PATROL!!!
(The Hell Patrol make their way through the curtains. Grim Reaper is wearing a dark hooded cloak and Black Scorpion wears a leather trenchcoat. They waste no time marching to the ring. They ignore the fans' jeers as they step into the cage)
LARRY: And their opponents…. (‘Highway to the Dangerzone’ causes the fans to erupt as Scorpion steps through the curtain) introducing first, weighing in at 287 lb. and hailing from Phoenix, AZ… SCORPION!!!
(Scorpion reaches ringside and inspects the cage closely before stepping into the ring. He looks determined)
LARRY: And his partner…. (the fans remain standing and arch their necks, everyone trying to see who will come out… no one does) and his partner…. (Larry looks confused now listening to his earpiece)
SAM: Good grief, who’s his partner? Where are they?
ABE: There isn’t going to be a partner! Nobody in that locker room is crazy enough to join Scorpion in getting their @$$ kicked in a cage with the Hell Patrol!
SAM: The Patrol are standing in front of the door now, waiting for whoever is going to come out… SCORPION ATTACKS THEM FROM BEHIND!! Scorpion’s going to fight them on his own!
ABE: What an idiot! They’ll take him apart!
