We're back, with the third and final portion of Spontaneous Combustion 2000. The action will continue in a while when Johnny Smiles, Virginia, and Arthur Justice team up to face "Pretty Boy" Jimmy Lockman and the Manhunters, but first of all, we'd like to bring you a special presentation of VCW. Stacey Lockman, VCW's primary interviewer, recently obtained the opportunity to sit down with Bret "The Hitman" Hart and discuss a variety of subjects in an exclusive interview. We are now proud to present that interview, where Stacey Lockman sits down and talks to the legendary Bret Hart.
Stacey Lockman and Bret Hart are sitting in an old-looking, comfortably furnished office. Wearing his hair tied back in a ponytail, with wire-rimmed sunglasses, a Calgary Hitmen jersey, and blue jeans, Bret Hart is easily recognizable, but he looks a little tired and unhappy.
S. Lockman: Bret... I'd like to thank you for the opportunity to sit down and talk to you, and ask you a few questions. I have to admit, given the way the wrestling business has treated you in the past, I was a little surprised that you decided to come and talk to me on VCW pay-per-view.
B. Hart: You know, you're absolutely right about this business. The only person I ever worked for in this business that was honest with me was my dad, Stu. To be perfectly honest with you, I doubt VCW's any exception. I've heard the locker room stories around here. But at the same time, you know, I don't want people to remember me just as the guy who got screwed at Survivor Series, or the guy who had a career-ending concussion against Goldberg... I want to come back, and make a legacy that I can be proud of.
S. Lockman: Speaking of coming back, and your concussion... how realistic is it that you could return to wrestling in an active role?
B. Hart: It's not unrealistic... but it's not real smart, either. One more good shot to the head could be it. So for me to wrestle someone like Sid, or Steiner... or put myself in any situation where I take stiff shots or head bumps... I'd be making a gamble every time I did that.
S. Lockman: So I suppose the idea of you coming to work for VCW is out, given our violent style.
B. Hart: No offense... I mean, I know this interview is airing on your show, but to be honest, even if I could, I don't think I'd want to. You guys... I'm just being honest here, but VCW embodies everything I've come to dislike about the wrestling business. Crazy spots and bumps that ruin the wrestler's knees before they're thirty, gratuitous cursing and violence, nudity just about every month, the Spanish Mafia controlling the books backstage and making a glass ceiling... it's everything that's wrong with wrestling, all in one place.
S. Lockman: Well, there are a lot of other great technical wrestlers here, too... Paul Canyon, Jacob Idol, Owen Addison... your father trained them all. Then there's Ken Collins, Neytron DelArmeggio, Tim Bell, Gabriel Black, and a lot of others too. I'm going to be honest with you... we were kind of hoping to see Bret Hart in VCW, at least on a limited basis, and our fans were too.
B. Hart: Since when have any of those guys except Gabriel held the VCW World Title? Or even the Intercontinental Title? You guys don't push technical wrestling here, you push naked women and crazy career-ending bumps. I've heard this same pitch before, from Eric Bischoff... yes, we respect wrestling ability here, come on in, we'll give you the world... but I've seen where somebody like me gets in VCW. Richard Tobian. I know you like to censor that name, and pretend he never existed, but he was a talented wrestler who didn't want to get involved in any sleazy angles, and by the end you had him ripping off your shirt and throwing you into a room with Hell's Bikers before he lost to your dad on the way out.
You know, I'm sure I could have a great match with any of those guys you mentioned. I respect all of them as athletes, and most of them as people, but the crap that surrounds it would keep it from being the kind of thing I could take pride in. You're the head booker's daughter, and I hope you're not offended or anything... but you push violence and sleaze ahead of talent just as much as the WWF or WCW, except in the cases of one or two guys. You've shown full frontal nudity on two pay-per-views, your main storyline involves a guy with a history of neck trouble taking sick neck bumps to put the fans on edge... what would you have me doing, taking hard chairshots to the head to get a pop from the crowd?
S. Lockman: I know your attitude on that... before you were released, I know that Vince Russo tried to turn your concussion into an angle, and you weren't happy about that.
B. Hart: Vince Russo did a lot of things I wasn't happy about. Look at Lance Storm, and what Vince Russo did with his match with Mike Awesome. He wanted me to come out and endorse that crap. The angle he tried to do with my concussion... he had me give this speech about Goldberg, hit him in the head with a shovel in the desert... trying to make the entire thing into one giant angle. I wish I hadn't gone along with it as much as I did. You know, everyone talks about how I make a big deal out of Survivor Series and not losing to Shawn Michaels, but just look at some of the crap I have gone along with.
S. Lockman: In terms of what happened after Survivor Series... you left for WCW with a lot of support from the fans after the Montreal incident, but you didn't quite achieve what you wanted there. What do you think the problem was?
B. Hart: They didn't know what they were doing. At Starrcade, they brought me in as a referee. They just signed the rightful World Champion, who was never actually conclusively beaten by Steve Austin or the Undertaker, and they don't even let me wrestle at Starrcade, you know? Then, both me and Ric Flair have heat with the NWO... but they have us feud with each other. They bring me in like I'm going to be the hero that saves WCW from the NWO, but all I do when I get there is feud with Ric Flair, who's not even in the NWO, over who's the best wrestler of all time.
S. Lockman: You haven't really found a niche since the Survivor Series incident, which is also about the time that wrestling really started to change. Honest answer to a hypothetical question... if you're able to return, do you think there's a place for you in today's wrestling world?
B. Hart: Yeah, but it'd take some work. I'm willing to compromise, but everyone else should meet me halfway. Some of the things going on these days just aren't what I think wrestling is about. You don't need all of this smut, and trash, and three-minute matches with punches and kicks and maybe a couple spots. I want to be cheered for my wrestling ability, not for having a valet with huge breasts or a fancy catchphrase.
S. Lockman: Well, Bret... they sure didn't give us very much time, and I'm sorry I couldn't sit down and talk to you longer... but I'm glad to have had even this much time to speak with you. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and I hope that we'll see you compete again, whether it's in VCW or not. You'll always be welcome here, whether it's for one more match or a full-time career. It's been a pleasure talking to you.
B. Hart: Well, the words "it'll never happen" don't mean much in professional wrestling anymore, and I could see myself here for maybe one match... just don't hold your breath. I've got a lot of thinking to do before I even decide whether I should ever set foot in a ring again.
S. Lockman: I understand, Bret. I'm sure I echo the sentiments of all of your fans when I say that we'll stand behind whatever decision you make. Thanks for talking to me.
B. Hart: No problem.
That was an informative glimpse at Bret Hart's mind... but it was also a little short and anticlimactic. Will Bret Hart come to VCW? It doesn't seem likely. Will Bret Hart wrestle again? Maybe. His fans certainly hope so.
Back in the arena, "Degenerated" by the Lone Rangers is playing, and here come Johnny Smiles, Arthur Justice, and VCW Commissioner Virginia. The crowd doesn't know whether to cheer for Johnny or boo for the other two, and the reaction is mixed. Johnny Smiles walks ahead of his teammates, and the crowd boos even more loudly when Arthur Justice and Virginia exchange a brief kiss behind his back. Johnny enters the ring, and executes a few X-shaped crotch chops, then grabs a microphone.
J. Smiles: HEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRE'S JOHNNY!!
The crowd is cheering for him. It's obvious that they still support him fully; they just wish he'd open his eyes and see what his so-called friends are doing behind his back!
J. Smiles: There have been a lot of people saying that DeJohnnyration X is having problems, people trying to tell me that Virginia doesn't really like me... well, these people are jealous! I just got done talking to Arthur and Virginia, and they've set my mind at ease. We're about to squish Pretty Boy Jimmy and the Manhunters and prove all the critics wrong, and if they're not down with that we've got two words for them...
The crowd seems almost reluctant to chant "BLOW ME!" as Johnny Smiles does the X-shaped crotch chop. Virginia and Arthur Justice are in the ring at his side, and now "Big Shot" by Billy Joel is playing over the arena sound system, and here comes "Pretty Boy" Jimmy Lockman, dressed in his usual robe and sunglasses, carrying the golden-handled cane, and flanked by the Manhunters. He's unquestionably a scoundrel and a power-hungry schemer, but tonight, he almost seems to stand on the moral high ground against Arthur Justice and Virginia; at least he doesn't pretend he's something he's not. Jimmy Lockman and the Manhunters aren't wasting any time; they're getting right into the ring and starting this one off. Linda Peterson is the referee, and she calls for the bell. The match is underway!
DeJohnnyration X
(Johnny Smiles/Virginia/Arthur Justice)
vs.
"Pretty Boy" Jimmy Lockman/The Manhunters
Jimmy Lockman's starting this one off against Johnny Smiles, so it seems... Jimmy Lockman's motioning that he wants Virginia, and Johnny hesitates... Virginia asks for the tag, and gets it... here comes Virginia instead, to a massive round of boos. Jimmy Lockman locks up with Virginia, and whips her into the ropes, then sends her spinning to the mat with a kneelift as she comes off the ropes. Jimmy Lockman picks her up... and there's a kneebreaker on her recently injured knee! And there's another one, and the crowd is loving it! Jimmy Lockman places the leg on the ropes, and begins stomping at it repeatedly! Virginia is writhing in pain, and Jimmy Lockman shows no signs of letting up just yet... he grabs the leg and applies a leg hammerlock! Virginia struggles and squirms, reaching for the ropes, before she finally makes it.
Jimmy Lockman breaks the hold, as ordered by Linda Peterson, but doesn't lay up on the leg. He just keeps stomping at the knee as Virginia struggles to pull herself to her feet, then kicks her in the knee. Virginia is in pain, but she throws a punch in retaliation... but Jimmy Lockman blocks it! He just nailed her with an eye gouge, and now he grabs her leg... and there's another kneebreaker! Virginia already barely has a leg to stand on, and Jimmy Lockman hooks her from behind... and there's a side suplex! Virginia is down, and Jimmy Lockman goes for the cover! Linda Peterson is counting!
ONE!!
TWO!!
Kickout at two by Virginia! She gets up, but Jimmy Lockman's up too, and he stuns her with a kick to the knee... and there's a vertical suplex! Virginia is down, and Jimmy Lockman does a cocky little strut across the ring. Virginia's getting up, but Jimmy Lockman runs into the ropes... and hits a swinging neckbreaker! He grabs the leg again, and stomps the knee a few more times, then applies a spinning toe hold! The crowd doesn't know what to think of this old-style crap, but Virginia is in pain, and she's struggling, trying to break the hold somehow... she struggles to scoot across the mat a few inches, and manages to grab the ropes, but not before some damage was done. She's getting up slowly, and once again Jimmy Lockman hones in on the leg, kicking and stomping at the knee. Jimmy Lockman is absolutely taking Virginia apart, and the crowd is loving it!
Virginia's back up, but Jimmy Lockman hooks her arms, and brings her down in a double underhook suplex! She's down, and he stomps at her knee a couple more times... then grabs the leg... he's going for it... FIGURE-FOUR LEGLOCK!! Jimmy Lockman has the Figure-Four Leglock applied, and Virginia's nowhere near the ropes! Jimmy Lockman is, however, and he takes advantage of that fact by grabbing the ropes for leverage as Linda Peterson checks in on Virginia. Virginia's fighting it, but it's doubtful how much longer she can hang on... she's trying to turn over the hold, but Jimmy Lockman's stopping it by holding the ropes!! Wait, Arthur Justice goes up to the top turnbuckle... Arthur Justice just jumped off onto Jimmy Lockman and broke the hold with a flying elbowdrop! Linda Peterson turns around, and begins admonishing him, threatening disqualification, but the damage has already been done. Virginia slowly, painfully crawls to the corner and makes the tag, and here comes Johnny Smiles.
Jimmy Lockman gets back up, but Johnny Smiles is waiting on him. Johnny Smiles whips him into the ropes, and nails him with a clothesline as he comes off! Johnny Smiles lays in a few right-hand punches on Jimmy Lockman, then whips him into the ropes again... and backdrops him high into the air! The crowd is cheering somewhat reluctantly for Johnny, as Jimmy Lockman begs off... but Johnny isn't letting up on him. Johnny whips him into the turnbuckle, then follows in and stands on the second turnbuckle, and begins punching Jimmy Lockman in the head1 The crowd counts along as Johnny drills him with ten punches, and once Johnny steps off Jimmy Lockman staggers out and does the Ric Flair faceplant in the middle of the ring. Rather than letting him lie, Johnny follows up with a legdrop on the back of his head, then tags in Arthur Justice.
The crowd boos as Arthur Justice comes in to replace Johnny Smiles, and Johnny looks confused as Virginia tries to console him on the apron. Arthur Justice picks Jimmy Lockman up... and hits a backbreaker! Jimmy Lockman is down, and Arthur Justice gives him a pair of elbowdrops on the mat, then picks him up again. Arthur Justice whips Jimmy Lockman into the ropes, then picks him up high in the air with a Gorilla Press as he comes off the ropes! Jimmy Lockman is shaking his head, begging Arthur Justice not to slam him down... and Arthur Justice does it anyway! Jimmy Lockman is down, and he's slowly getting up... and Arthur Justice grabbed him by the throat! Chokeslam!! Arthur Justice just nailed Jimmy Lockman with a chokeslam, and now he's going up top... he's waiting, but Jimmy Lockman is a little slow to get up... he finally makes it to his feet... flying shoulderblock!!Arthur Justice just came off the top turnbuckle like he was shot out of a cannon, and nailed Jimmy Lockman! He hooks him in the cobra clutch... he's going to hit the Justifier!! Arthur Justice lifts him for the Justifier... and sets him down because Virginia just asked him to!! Virginia wants the tag here! Virginia wants Arthur to tag her in so she can finish Jimmy Lockman off!!
Arthur complies, and here comes Virginia. She immediately drops to her knees and nails Jimmy Lockman with a low blow, causing him to double over and collapse to the mat. She's walking with a definite limp, but she remains in control of the match as Jimmy Lockman tries to stand, only to be doubled over with a clubbing forearm to the back! Virginia picks him up into a fireman's carry position... she's spinning around, a little awkwardly on that hurt knee... and there's an Ace Crusher!! Airplane spin into an Ace Crusher by Virginia, but it took a little out of her knee as well to do that! She's doubled over in pain, but she seems to shut it out as she picks Jimmy Lockman up again. She whips him into the ropes and bends over, preparing to catch him as he comes off... this could be the Spinebuster... but it won't, because Jimmy Lockman just kicked her right in the face! Jimmy Lockman just kicked Virginia in the head, and then follows up with a kick to the knee, doubling her over again... and he finishes with a DDT!! Virginia is down, and so is Jimmy Lockman... but Jimmy Lockman's up first! He's crawling to tag in one of the Manhunters! Virginia's overconfidence may have cost her the match! Jimmy Lockman reaches out for the tag... and Manhunter #1 just reached out and caught him by the hair, then drilled him in the face!! What the hell is this!?!?
The Manhunters enter the ring, and they both grab Jimmy Lockman by the throat... double chokeslam!! The Manhunters just drilled Jimmy Lockman in the center of the ring with a double chokeslam!! Somehow, I don't think he's getting up, but the Manhunters are going up top now, on opposite turnbuckles... they come off the top turnbuckles... DOUBLE DIVING HEADBUTT!! Jimmy Lockman just got destroyed by his own tag team partners, and Virginia crawls across Jimmy Lockman's chest!! Linda Peterson goes down to make the count...
ONE!!
TWO!!
THREE!! Virginia wins, and the crowd is furious!! "Degenerated" by the Lone Rangers is playing again, but you can barely hear it over the boos and the rapidly growing chant of "SLUT!" that Virginia's receiving. She steps back and leans in one of the corners, and the Manhunters go up to the top turnbuckles again... and hit another Double Diving Headbutt on Jimmy Lockman! But they're still not done... they climb up again... and there's a third one!! They're climbing to the top turnbuckles again... and here's ANOTHER Double Diving Headbutt... and now they're climbing up again... and they execute yet another Double Diving Headbutt!! Good Lord, what are they trying to do, kill Jimmy Lockman!? What's the meaning of this!?

Rating: DUD
Wait... Virginia has a microphone... the crowd is booing so loudly that she can hardly speak, but that's not stopping her from speaking anyway...
Virginia: Allow me to introduce my two NEW co-workers... the two newest members of our little circle of friends... the Manhunters!! They're on our side now, and if you're not down with them, they've got two words for you!
The crowd just boos as the Manhunters do a pair of X-shaped crotch chops at the crowd. Johnny Smiles grabs a microphone.
J. Smiles: I think that was a little hard on poor old Jimmy... but he probably deserved it. He's been acting like a jerk for months and months. But you never told me the Manhunters were part of DeJohnnyration X. Is this my surprise?
Virginia: No, Johnny... this isn't your surprise. Be patient.
J. Smiles: Well, when was I gonna get my surprise? Because I'm getting pretty anxious to see what it is, and I don't think I can wait much longer!
The crowd is booing... this is painful to watch. Everyone but Johnny knows what's going on here...
Virginia: I was going to give it to you later... like maybe for Christmas, around Deck the Halls 2000. Are you SURE you want it now?
J. Smiles: I'm sorry to ruin it, but I just can't wait any longer. Give it to me.
Virginia: As you like. Come here...
Johnny steps forward, and Virginia gives him a hug... they're kissing in the middle of the ring, and the crowd is booing... everyone HAS to see this coming... damn it, Virginia's arms just tightened around Johnny, and she takes him over with a belly-to-belly suplex!! The crowd is booing, but they saw this one coming!! Johnny Smiles starts to get up, and the camera catches a look of ultimate shock and sadness on his face, just before the Manhunters and Arthur Justice descend on him and start pummelling him into the mat! Arthur Justice hooks him into the cobra clutch... and hits the Justifier on him!! But he's not done yet... he picks him up and does it again!! Now the Manhunters go up to the top turnbuckles... and hit the Double Diving Headbutt on him for good measure! DeJohnnyration X has just turned on Johnny Smiles, and the crowd is disgusted!
"Degenerated" by the Lone Rangers is playing again, and Virginia and Arthur Justice are leaving together, nearly engulfing each other with passionate kisses on their way backstage, as the Manhunters accompany them. The crowd continues to boo as trainers come in to check on Jimmy Lockman and Johnny Smiles, and the crowd is still booing loudly. Sure, everyone saw this coming... but nobody wanted to see it happen. Virginia has become the evil that she once fought against, complete with the same henchmen as the old regime. The fact that Jimmy Lockman was defeated in a match tonight seems to be a distant afterthought as he and Johnny Smiles are stretchered out of here. What we just saw was complete betrayal at its worst.
"Sad But True" by Metallica is playing now, and Melissa DelArmeggio's on her way to the ring, with the crowd solidly behind her. This could be the last time we ever see Melissa in VCW, but it could also be the same time we see her brother, Neytron DelArmeggio, in VCW as well. She enters the ring, and poses for the crowd on each of the second turnbuckles, then stands and waits as "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin plays over the arena sound system. You can tell she's a little anxious and nervous, for good reason. Neytron steps out of the backstage area, and he looks as cocky as ever as he walks to the ring. He steps inside and poses for the crowd, earning a loud round of boos... and now James Applebee's in the ring, calling for the bell to start this match.

Neytron DelArmeggio
vs.
Melissa DelArmeggio
The match is underway, and Neytron locks up with Melissa... and instantly shoves her to the mat! The crowd boos, and Neytron is laughing... he seems to be enjoying this match. Melissa's coming in again, a little more cautiously, and they enter a second lockup. Neytron quickly takes the upper hand and puts on a side headlock. Melissa tries to lift him up for a side suplex... but he quickly flips over, then puts on a rear waistlock... German suplex! James Applebee's on top of the action, and here's the count!
ONE!!
TWO!!
Kickout at two by Melissa! She looks a little more worried now... it's becoming obvious that there's no sense in even joking about her outwrestling Neytron. She's staying out of another lockup... Neytron comes in closer... and she kicks him in the face!! Neytron staggers back, and Melissa gives him a few swift kicks to the midsection, followed by a spin kick to the face, and that takes him down! Melissa runs into the ropes as Neytron gets back up... and hits a spinning leg lariat! Neytron staggers backwards, and tumbles through the ropes, falling out of the ring! Melissa runs into the ropes... and dives out onto him with a plancha! Neytron goes down again, and the crowd is loving it!
Neytron gets up, a little groggy, and Melissa has him by the back of the hair, and runs him headfirst into the ringpost. Neytron goes limp, but Melissa's not done yet... she smashes his head into the ringsteps a few times, then throws him to the floor. She climbs up to the apron, and waits for Neytron to begin to get to his feet... Melissa jumps up on the second ropes, and takes Neytron down with an Asai moonsault!! Neytron's down, and Melissa gets back up first, and grabs a chair. She's waiting for him as he gets up... and nearly takes his head off with a chairshot! Neytron goes down again, and Melissa rolls him into the ring. She climbs up on the apron, then to the top turnbuckle... Neytron is still down in the ring... and she comes off the top turnbuckle with a flying bodypress! She hooks the leg, and James Applebee's down to make the count!
ONE!!
TWO!!
Shoulder up at two by Neytron. Melissa gets up and whips him into the turnbuckle. She moves in after him, and gives him a series of stiff kicks to the midsection, followed by a jumping side kick to the head! Neytron slumps down in the corner, but Melissa's not letting up. She pulls him back to his feet, hooks him... and picks him up, then brings him down in a vertical suplex! It obviously took a little effort for her, but she just suplexed her brother! Neytron's getting up... Melissa's waiting on him... she pivots as he gets up, and lashes out with the Back Brain Kick!! But Neytron ducks... Melissa's kick swings over his head, and she's off-balance... and Neytron takes her down with a dropkick! Melissa gets up again, and Neytron's up too... she charges in with a clothesline, but Neytron ducks, then catches her as she comes off the ropes with a powerslam! Neytron stays on her for the cover, and James Applebee's making the count again...
ONE!!
TWO!!
Kickout at two by Melissa. Neytron picks her up, and nails her in the back of the neck with an elbowsmash. Melissa staggers forward a few steps, then turns around to face Neytron again, but takes a kick to the midsection, which Neytron follows with a reverse neckbreaker. Melissa's down, but Neytron pulls her to her feet again, then nails her right in the face with a stiff, open-handed slap! Melissa's turning back to face Neytron, checking for blood... and Neytron just slapped her right across the face again! The crowd is booing, but Neytron has a big smile on his face... Melissa's turning again, and Neytron draws back his hand... but she blocked that one, and just stiffed him right in the jaw!! Neytron staggers back, and Melissa whips him into the ropes, and nails him with a dropkick when he comes off! Neytron goes down! He gets back up, but Melissa's waiting on him, and she hooks up with him and grabs a leg... fisherman suplex! James Applebee's down to count!
ONE!!
TWO!!
Kickout at two by Neytron. Melissa just doesn't have the strength to hold him down in that kind of move. She runs to the ropes and springs off the second rope as Neytron gets up... and nails him with an Asai moonsault! But Neytron just caught her... and he drives her down with a Tombstone!! This is probably it for Melissa... Neytron's going for the cover...
ONE!!
TWO!!
THR... Melissa kicked out at two and three-quarters! Neytron doesn't believe it, but he's furious, stomping away at her as she tries to get up. She gets back up, but she's still doubled over... Neytron runs into the ropes, and gives her a swinging neckbreaker! Melissa's down again, and Neytron turns her over, and stomps away at the back of her neck, then gives her a legdrop across the back of the neck for good measure. Melissa's starting to get up, and Neytron helps her up, right into position for a vertical suplex, which he quickly executes on her. But instead of letting go, he holds on and rolls over, and there's a second vertical suplex... and a third!! Three rolling vertical suplexes by Neytron, and he's going for the pin! James Applebee's down to count...
ONE!!
TWO!!
Melissa just got her foot on the ropes! Neytron is getting angrier and angrier... he grabs a double handful of Melissa's hair and pulls her away from the ropes, then pulls her into a sitting position... and gives her a jumping neck snap! Melissa looks out of it, and Neytron picks her up across his shoulders... Death Valley Driver!! He's trying to break his own sister's neck!! He goes for the pin with a rather lax cover... let this be over, for God's sake... James Applebee's counting.
ONE!!
TWO!!
THR... Melissa just got a shoulder up, and Neytron has nobody to blame but himself for that one. If he had held both shoulders down, that would surely have been the end. He pulls her up into a standing headscissors, the setup for the Piledriver... and she just slumps back down to the mat. Neytron is laughing... he pulls her back up, and holds her up... PILEDRIVER!! Neytron just gave Melissa the Piledriver, and this one HAS to be over!! But he's not going for the cover... he's picking her up, and DOING IT AGAIN!! A second Piledriver!! And he's picking her up again... not a third... yes, a third Piledriver!! This match is OVER, and with it Melissa's career... James Applebee's telling Neytron to pin her and get it over with, or he'll stop the match... but Neytron doesn't seem to want that. He's going to pin her... he puts a foot on her chest and flexes his muscles... this is a horrible way to end someone's career...
ONE!!
TWO!!
THR... Shoulder up!! Melissa just rolled a shoulder up, and considering Neytron's current mood, that could be suicide! James Applebee is pleading with Neytron, and he evidently decided to listen to him, since he's going for a regular lateral press pin now. This could do it...
ONE!!
TWO!!
THR... Melissa just barely kicked out of the lateral press! Neytron is livid, and he quickly hooks a leg, staying on the pin, and James Applebee's counting again...
ONE!!
TWO!!
THR... once again, Melissa somehow kicked out!! Neytron keeps the leg hooked, and with the other hand grabs the back of Melissa's jeans and pulls it for extra leverage, and James Applebee's counting again...
ONE!!
TWO!!
THR... somehow, she kicked out of that too!! Neytron is fed up with this, and against James Applebee's admonishings he picks Melissa up, in a reverse fireman's carry... he's going to hit the Burning Hammer!! This could kill her, for God's sake! But Melissa's struggling... she just slipped out behind him, and Neytron turns around... Melissa goes for a kick to the midsection, and Neytron catches it out of reflex... BACK BRAIN KICK!! Melissa just hit the Owen Hart enzuigiri version of the Back Brain Kick, but she can't capitalize on it... she collapses to the mat beside Neytron. That took everything she had left. James Applebee starts the ten count... the fans are on their feet, stomping and clapping for Melissa to get up... but instead it's Neytron who gets up at the count of nine. He puts her in the standing headscissors again... but she just pulled out and hit him with a low blow!! Neytron's doubled over in pain, and Melissa's getting back up... and she hits a double arm DDT on Neytron, shades of Troy Black!! Neytron's down, and Melissa goes up to the top turnbuckle! FROG SPLASH!! Melissa hit a frog splash on Neytron, and she's hooking the leg!! Neytron's not moving, and James Applebee's counting!!
ONE!!
TWO!!
THREE!! Melissa just beat Neytron in the middle of the ring!! This will go down as Neytron's last match in VCW!! The self-proclaimed great technical wrestler just got beat by his talentless little sister!! The crowd is loving it as "Sad But True" by Metallica plays over the sound system, and Melissa remains in the ring, celebrating her victory over Neytron, who is still down. Melissa heads backstage triumphantly, and Neytron just begins to get up in the ring. He's back up, and showing no lasting injury at all! It's a miracle! ...Or just unprofessional conduct, whichever you choose. The crowd's booing him and giving him a loud chant of "NA-NA-NA-NA, HEY-HEY-HEY, GOODBYE", but he just gives them all the finger, then goes up to the second turnbuckle... he's spelling out letters... S-J-P-W... and the crowd responds with another round of boos, and begins to pelt him with popcorn bags.

But wait... as he starts to leave... "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin is playing, and here come Julian Page, Jacob Idol, and Rob Solomon. They enter the ring with Neytron, and what's this all about? Julian Page has a microphone.
J. Page: Listen, you people... this isn't the way it should have been. When you think of Neytron DelArmeggio, don't think of the guy who got beat up by a girl, think of the great technician that thrilled VCW with classic matches. Let's here a round of applause for the man's final match.
There's a little applause from a few technical wrestling junkies, but most people are still booing. And who can blame them? He just tried to break his own sister's neck! He's the one who introduced the God-awful Softcore Title to VCW! What is there to celebrate about his VCW career!?
J. Page: On second thought, never mind that. Go ahead and think of him as the guy who got beat up by a girl, because he sucks.
WHAT!? Julian Page, Jacob Idol, and Rob Solomon all just turned and started pounding on Neytron! Julian Page picks him up... DDT!! He just gave Neytron the DDT, and now he picks him up and does it again!! Rob Solomon goes up to the top turnbuckle, and he comes off as Jacob and Julian stand back... Katana Legdrop on Neytron!! Neytron is laid out, and the crowd is actually cheering the Hammer of the Gods for this!
J. Page: I don't know what you're so happy about. In a few minutes, I'm going to take out Falcon, Lance Errington, and David Wright Hubbard for the last time, and all you people can take a flying hike.
That takes care of the cheers. The Hammer of the Gods, now minus Neytron DelArmeggio, is leaving the ring, and a medical crew has come out for a stretcher for Neytron, who appears to be unconscious. But despite all that has gone before, Neytron did give VCW a few great matches, and we owe him at least that much. Hopefully he'll find whatever he's looking for in SJPW.
A cage is lowering around the ring now, and we're going to have a War Games Match next, pitting David Wright Hubbard, Lance Errington, Falcon, and a mystery partner against Tony Garcia, Randy Savage, Julian Page, and another mystery partner. One man will start out from each team, and five minutes later, another man from one of the two teams, chosen randomly via a coin toss, comes in. Then, in two minute intervals, the teams will send out one member at a time until everyone is in the ring. Once everybody is in the ring, the match can be won, but it can only be won via submission. Linda Peterson's in the ring, the cage is down, and this match is ready to begin, save for the participants.
"Shame" by Rollins Band is playing, and here comes Falcon, along with Lady Erica Whitmore. He climbs into the cage, and he looks ready. Erica's wisely staying outside of the cage, and it's hard to blame her... things will get deadly inside there. Now who will Falcon's opponent be?
"Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin begins to play, and that answers that. Here comes the VCW Intercontinental Champion, Julian Page. He's taking his time coming to the ring, stopping to harrass a few fans on the way in. He stops off briefly at the timekeeper's table to deposit the VCW Intercontinental Title there, then grabs the side of the cage and shakes it, as if testing it for strength. He climbs into the ring, slowly and cautiously, and this match begins!
War Games Match:
Falcon/David Wright
Hubbard/Lance Errington/???
w/Lady Erica Whitmore
vs.
Tony Garcia/Randy Savage/Julian Page/???
Falcon and Julian Page get in a lockup, and Julian Page gets Falcon in a headlock. Headlock takedown on Falcon by Julian Page, and now he's clenching it in, putting Falcon in a side headlock on the mat. He asks Linda Peterson to check Falcon for submission, evidently not realizing that he can't do that until everyone's in the ring. Falcon's fighting his way back up off of the mat... he's up... and he just countered the headlock into a belly-to-back suplex! Julian Page goes down, and Falcon's back up... he's waiting on him... dropkick by Falcon, and down goes Julian Page again!
Julian Page gets up again, and Falcon grabs a leg... single-leg takedown by Falcon. Julian Page is down, but Falcon still has the leg... he's applying a leg grapevine now, and Julian Page is scrambling to get out of it... he just made it to the ropes, but Falcon is refusing to break the hold! What's Linda Peterson going to do, disqualify him? Not in a War Games Match. But Julian Page is using the ropes for leverage as he attempts to twist out of the hold... and he does. He's out of the leg grapevine.
Falcon's back up first, and Julian Page is back up as well. Falcon grabs a double handful of his hair, and rams him headfirst into the side of the cage. Julian Page bounces off of it, but Falcon isn't going to let him keep away, as he grabs him by the hair again, and this time grinds his face into the cage repeatedly. Julian Page is busted open, bleeding pretty heavily, and Falcon props him up against the side of the cage and just hammers him in the face repeatedly. Julian Page begins to stagger out, and Falcon kicks him in the knee, dropping him to one knee. He grabs the leg again, and executes a kneebreaker on him. Julian Page is in a world of pain, and it looks like Falcon has decided to zero in on his knee. Julian Page is down, and Falcon's going for a figure-four leglock... no, Julian Page just kicked him off, and Falcon is thrown back into the side of the cage!
Julian Page is back up, and Falcon's coming in to continue his offense... but Julian Page just nailed him with an eye gouge. Falcon is stunned, and Julian Page drops to one knee, and nails Falcon with a low blow! Falcon doubles over and collapses to the mat, but Julian Page isn't done yet. He grabs Falcon's legs and holds them spread... Falcon is begging off, and who wouldn't? But Julian Page does it anyway! Headbutt to the groin by Julian Page, and Falcon's in a lot of pain! Julian Page gets up, holds his legs apart again... and he does it again! The crowd's booing, and Julian Page responds by flashing them a cocky smirk as he stands over Falcon, who's just curled up in a little ball at this point.
Julian Page shakes out his leg, trying to recover from some of the damage done to it, and now he's going up to the top turnbuckle. Falcon gets up, slowly, still doubled over in pain, and Julian Page jumps off, nailing him with a flying axhandle! That didn't exactly work wonders for his knee, but Falcon is down in a heap again. Julian Page paces around the ring, walking off the pain in his knee, and Falcon's getting back up... Julian Page whips him into the corner, then follows him in with a jumping avalanche! Falcon slumps in the corner, and Julian Page tears off his shirt, drawing loud screams from many of the women in the crowd. With Falcon shirtless in the corner, Julian Page takes a step back, measuring him... and he just DRILLED him in the chest with a stiff chop! That chop rang out like a gunshot, and the sound of Ric Flair "whooo"s from the crowd mingles with a cry of pain from Falcon. Julian Page holds him straight in the corner again... and gives him another vicious chest chop, to the same crowd response. Falcon's chest is turning bright red, and Julian Page is setting him up in the corner, on one of the turnbuckles with his legs spread... this doesn't look good for Falcon. Julian Page backs up... and runs forward and hits the Shattered Dreams!! Julian Page just kicked a field goal with Falcon's testicles, and he's curled up in a heap on the mat! Wait a minute, the clock's at FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO! ONE!! Could this be someone coming out to save Falcon!?
No, damn it!! It's Randy Savage! The heels always win the stupid coin toss!! Randy Savage is walking to the ring, and he's smiling! He climbs into the cage, and there's a high-five with Julian Page! Randy Savage picks Falcon up by the hair, and just drilled him with a punch to the face! Falcon is still caught in a haze of pain, and he can't even seem to defend himself as Randy Savage rains stiff right hands down on his face! Meanwhile, Julian Page goes over to the corner, and lies down! He puts his hands behind his head and gets comfortable... he's laying down on the job, while Randy Savage beats up on Falcon!
Falcon starts to pull himself to his feet, but Randy Savage picks him up, and bodyslams him. Randy Savage stomps away at the fallen body of Falcon, then goes down and starts choking him. Linda Peterson is admonishing him, trying to get him off of Falcon, but what can she do? There's no disqualification in a War Games Match! Randy Savage finally lets up, but hooks Falcon, and brings him down in a vertical suplex instead. Falcon's down, with very little if anything left, and Randy Savage isn't done yet. He grabs Falcon and smashes his face against the side of the cage, then begins grinding it in, like Falcon did to Julian Page earlier. Falcon is now bleeding as well, but it looks like that woke him up! He just nailed Randy Savage with a back elbow, and now he's drilling him in the face with a series of punches! Julian Page sees what's happening and gets up, but Falcon turns around and nails him with a right hand as well. And now the clock's getting low again! FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO!! ONE!!
It's Lance Errington! Lance Errington runs to the cage and climbs in... Julian Page gets up, facing him... Lance Errington hits a kick to the midsection, followed with an Ace Crusher!! Julian Page is down, and Lance Errington is slapping on the Scorpion Deathlock! Julian Page is fighting it, but there's no hope of powering out of it, and grabbing the ropes won't do any good... but Randy Savage just broke away from Falcon to clobber Lance Errington from behind, and that breaks the hold.
But Falcon isn't letting up on Randy Savage... he has him by the hair, and he just tossed him head-first into the side of the cage. Randy Savage turns around, and Falcon picks him up... backbreaker! Randy Savage is down, and Falcon goes up to the top turnbuckle... flying elbowdrop!! Falcon just hit Randy Savage with his own move!! Meanwhile, Lance Errington has Julian Page, and whips him into the turnbuckle. Julian Page staggers out... and Lance Errington hits a spinebuster on him. Julian Page is down, and Lance Errington executes a legdrop, then picks him up again quickly and gives him a kneebreaker. Julian Page is down, clutching his knee, and Lance Errington climbs on top of him and starts raining punches down on him!
Falcon picks Randy Savage up, and tries to whip him into the side of the cage, but Randy Savage reverses it, and Falcon collides with Lance Errington, knocking him off of Julian Page. Falcon staggers backward after the collision, and Randy Savage goes down behind him... and hits another low blow!! Falcon doubles over in pain, and Randy Savage hooks him from behind, and brings him down with a belly-to-back suplex! Meanwhile, Lance Errington and Julian Page get up, and Lance Errington goes for a kick to the midsection, but Julian Page catches his leg! Dragon screw by Julian Page, and he holds onto the leg and turns it into a half Boston! But he left a leg hanging too far back, and Lance Errington grabs it, and reverses into the Scorpion Deathlock! Julian Page once again finds himself caught in the Scorpion Deathlock, but that doesn't last long before Randy Savage nails Lance Errington from behind, breaking up the hold again. And once again, the clock's low... FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO! ONE!!
It's Tony Garcia. Tony Garcia is coming to the ring, with a look of murderous intent on his face, carrying the wooden axe handle. He enters the ring, ignoring Linda Peterson's feeble protests and demands that the axe handle be left outside, and clobbers Lance Errington with the axe handle, laying him out. Falcon's getting up as well... and he also takes a shot from the wooden axe handle. The crowd boos loudly, and both Falcon and Lance Errington are laid out. Things don't look good right now. Julian Page and Randy Savage begin stomping away at Lance Errington, and Tony Garcia picks up Falcon and puts him in a standing headscissors... he drops the axe handle and picks him up... power bomb!! Falcon is laid out, and Tony Garcia comes off the ropes, and hits a big splash on him! He gets up, and runs into the ropes again... and hits another one!
Across the ring, Julian Page and Randy Savage pick Lance Errington up, and set him up in one of the corners. Randy Savage begins drilling him with a series of punches, as Julian Page wipes some of the blood from his forehead, then steps in and gives him a vicious chop to the chest! The crowd goes "whooo", and Lance Errington is in obvious pain. Julian Page does it again, getting the usual crowd reaction, and backs up again, allowing Randy Savage to come back in with some more punches. Meanwhile, Tony Garcia picks up the axe handle, and puts it across Falcon's throat... now he's sitting on his back! Tony Garcia has Falcon in a camel clutch using the axe handle!! Falcon is trying to tap out, but this match can't be won until all of the participants are in the ring. Speaking of which, here comes another one in FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO! ONE!
It's David Wright Hubbard!! The crowd erupts, and David Wright Hubbard charges the ring and climbs into the cage! He runs at Tony Garcia and knocks him off of Falcon with a kick to the head! Julian Page turns around and charges him, but David Wright Hubbard grabs him and runs him headfirst into the side of the cage! Randy Savage turns around, and eats a lariat from David Wright Hubbard, then gets picked up and tossed into the cage as well! Tony Garcia's back up... and David Wright Hubbard kicks him in the stomach, then gives him a powerslam!! Julian Page back up... and David Wright Hubbard has him by the throat! Chokeslam!! David Wright Hubbard just drove Julian Page into the mat by his neck! Randy Savage is up again now... but David Wright Hubbard just picked up the wooden axe handle, and he nails him with it! David Wright Hubbard is kicking everyone's ass, and he's the last man standing in the ring!! The crowd is loving it!!
Tony Garcia is getting back up... David Wright Hubbard steps forward, and nails him in the gut with the wooden axe handle! Tony Garcia is doubled over... and David Wright Hubbard brings the wooden axe handle down across his back! Tony Garcia goes down, but he's getting back up... and David Wright Hubbard does it again! Tony Garcia once again collapses, but David Wright Hubbard's waiting on him as he gets up... he draws back the wooden axe handle, and... GOOD LORD, TONY GARCIA IS *DEAD*!! David Wright Hubbard just did a Mark McGuire on his head with the wooden axe handle!! The wooden axe handle is broken clean in half, Tony Garcia's head is gushing blood hardway, and he's not moving!! David Wright Hubbard is staring down at the fallen body of Tony Garcia like he can't believe what he just did.
Across the ring, Falcon's up, but so's Randy Savage... Julian Page and Lance Errington are getting up as well... and they're all just staring at Tony Garcia. Linda Peterson might want to think about stopping this match... it'd be a miracle if Tony Garcia's skull wasn't cracked. But the clock is coming down... it has to be the heels' mystery man... FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO! ONE!!
Here comes the mystery man, in a ski mask and black, padded coat! Wait, he's taking off the coat... that physique looks a little familiar... now he's taking off the mask... IT'S CHRIS CHAMPLAIN!!! Chris Champlain is the mystery man!! He comes to the ring and enters the cage!!
Randy Savage seems to have broken out of his stupor, now, and he rushes David Wright Hubbard, pummelling him with a number of punches, which David Wright Hubbard returns. Lance Errington once again locks up with Julian Page, and puts him in a headlock, but Julian Page counters it with a side suplex. Buit Chris Champlain's in, and he just grabbed Falcon... and threw him out the door of the cage! And now Chris Champlain's following him outside!!
Falcon's up, and he nails Chris Champlain as he comes out, then whips him into the guardrail. Chris Champlain flies into the guardrail and staggers out, favoring his back... and Falcon grabs a chair! Falcon nails Chris Champlain with the chair, and down he goes! Falcon grabs Chris Champlain again... and rams him head-first into the announcer's table! Chris Champlain is the first mystery man, but he's taking one hell of a beating!
Back in the ring, Tony Garcia's still not moving... Linda Peterson's checking on him, and now she's calling for some kind of medic... a medical crew with a stretcher comes into the ring as Randy Savage and David Wright Hubbard beat the hell out of each other in the corner, and Lance Errington wrestles Julian Page on the opposite side of the ring. They load Tony Garcia up on a stretcher, and carry him out of the ring, as the match goes on around them. As Tony Garcia disappears on the stretcher backstage, the clock is counting down again... this is the last man due to come in! FIVE!! FOUR!! THREE!! TWO!! ONE!!!
Slightly-Hispanic Voice: Hey, yo. Chico. The baddest man in wrestling is BACK.
Wait, it couldn't be... IT IS!! IT'S SCOTT HALL!! Scott Hall is walking to the ring, and the fans are going CRAZY!! And he has a microphone!!
S. Hall: Hey, yo. We're gonna take a little survey. How many people want me to turn around and go backstage and take the night off!?
The crowd boos loudly and numerous shouts of "NO!" are heard, but Julian Page yells "I DO!!" from the middle of the ring, getting a few laughs.
S. Hall: And how many people want me to get in there and kick Julian Page, Chris Champlain, and the Macho Man's asses!?
The crowd erupts into cheers.
S. Hall: Survey says... you jabronis are about to get punked.
Scott Hall threw down the microphone, and he's climbing into the ring! With Lance Errington down in the corner, Julian Page rushes forward to meet him!! Julian Page goes for a punch, but Scott Hall blocks it, and starts blasting Julian Page with right hands! Scott Hall gives him a kick to the midsection, then picks him up... and throws him over his head in a fallaway slam! Scott Hall is in a VCW ring, taking care of business!!
But outside the ring, while that's going on, Falcon tries to ram Chris Champlain's head into the announcers' table again, but Chris Champlain blocks it, then nails Falcon with an elbow in the ribs. Falcon is stunned, and Chris Champlain grabs a chair and nails him with it. Falcon goes down, and Chris Champlain... he's climbing the cage!! Chris Champlain climbs up to the roof of the cage, and he's daring Falcon to come up after him! Falcon looks to the crowd, and they're egging him on! Falcon starts climbing! He's going to meet Chris Champlain on top of the cage!
Falcon comes up... and Chris Champlain's stomping on him, trying to keep him down... but Falcon climbs up anyway! Falcon and Chris Champlain are slugging it out on top of the cage! Chris Champlain has him reeling, and he backs up, then runs at him for a massive punch... but Falcon ducks, and turns around... SUPERKICK!! Chris Champlain's down! Falcon tries to throw him off the top of the cage... and Chris Champlain just caught on the edge of it! He's climbing back up... he's back up on top of the cage, but Falcon's measuring him... SUPERKICK!! Chris Champlain flies backwards off the top of the cage and crashes through the Swahili announcers' table!! Chris Champlain is a crumpled heap outside of the ring, in the wreckage of a table!!
Falcon is climbing back down, on his way to the ring, where the three-on-two odds aren't boding well for the heels. Randy Savage is still putting up a valiant fight against David Wright Hubbard, but Julian Page is taking a two-on-one beating from Scott Hall and Lance Errington. Falcon enters the ring, and now the odds REALLY aren't looking so good for Savage and Page, as they're outnumbered two-to-one. Falcon and David Wright Hubbard whip Randy Savage into the ropes... and Falcon nails him with a superkick as he comes off!! Randy Savage is laid out, and David Wright Hubbard picks him up... power bomb!! And David Wright Hubbard's not done yet... there's another power bomb!! Randy Savage is down and out, and Julian Page is all alone in the cage!!
Julian Page is begging off, but there won't be any mercy shown tonight. Scott Hall kicks him in the midsection, and sets him in a standing headscissors... he holds his arms out... CRUCIFIX POWER BOMB!!! Scott Hall just nailed Julian Page with the Crucifix Power Bomb, and he's down as well. David Wright Hubbard picks him up... and there's a regular power bomb!! Julian Page is flatter than a pancake in the ring, but it's not over yet... Falcon picks him up... he's dead weight right now... and there's the Falcon Arrow on Julian Page!! I'm not sure if anyone on the heel side is conscious enough to give up the match at this point... except Chris Champlain, who's starting to get up on the outside. But he may be too little, too late... Lance Errington picks up Julian Page... Ace Crusher!! Julian Page is down, and Scott Hall does the double point to Lance Errington... Falcon joins in... and Lance Errington grabs Julian Page's legs! He's going to set him up for the Scorpion Deathlock! Julian Page has just enough consciousness left to beg for mercy, but none will be shown tonight... Lance Errington's going to turn him over...
Wait, Chris Champlain's up on the outside! He staggers around the ring... he's coming up behind Lady Erica Whitmore!! She doesn't see him; she's focused on what's going on in the ring! He grabs her from behind, and he just pulled a knife out of his pants pocket! He's holding a knife to her face, and asking for a microphone! Lance Errington's turning Julian Page over...
C. Champlain: Hold on a second, Lance!!
Lance Errington stops... everyone in the ring turns around, and they can see Chris Champlain holding Erica hostage.
C. Champlain: Remember me, Lance? It's your old buddy Chris! You remember old Chris, right!? I'm the one who suffered a career-ending neck injury back at Disaster Area!
Everyone in the ring has stopped what they're doing... Lance Errington is still ready to apply the Scorpion Deathlock to Julian Page in the ring, but he's not moving just yet.
C. Champlain: You know, I expected more cards, or letters, or soup, or chocolate, or flowers, or at least SOMETHING from you, Lance. I get my neck broken, and you don't even come to visit me in the hospital! That's just mean, Lance.
The crowd boos... and Lance Errington seems like he's getting impatient.
C. Champlain: But I'm really mean too, Lance. See? Just ask Erica. She knows. So what we have here is a hostage situation... you let Julian go, and be a good boy and say "I Quit" for your good old Uncle Christopher, and I don't make Erica's face look like a raw steak that was run over by a lawnmower.
The crowd boos, and Erica's shaking her head "No", but Falcon and Lance are talking, and it seems like they've come to an agreement. Lance Errington lets go of Julian's legs... damn it, he's going over to Linda Peterson... and David Wright Hubbard just blindsided him!! Falcon jumps on David Wright Hubbard... but Scott Hall grabs Falcon and tosses him headfirst into the cage! David Wright Hubbard grabs the microphone away from Linda Peterson!
D.W. Hubbard: Chris, you funny-talking son of a bitch, fuck you, fuck Lance, fuck Falcon, and fuck that little slut Erica too, because we're winning this damn match!
The crowd cheers!! David Wright Hubbard just grabbed Julian Page's legs... and he puts on a scorpion deathlock of his own!! Lance Errington is charging in to try to break up the hold, but Scott Hall nailed him!! Scott Hall takes Falcon down as well... but now Randy Savage is up... and Scott Hall mowed him down with a clothesline too!! No relief in sigh for Julian Page... and he's tapping out!! Linda Peterson calls for the bell!!

But now Chris Champlain has the knife and... NO!! He's cutting Erica's face to ribbons!! Blood is spraying out of her forehead, and he just keeps slashing her with that knife!! Lance Errington climbs out of the ring, and he grabs a chair... from the look in his eyes, I'd say that he intends to kill Chris Champlain... but Chris Champlain drops Erica and runs!! Lance Errington chases him around the ring, but Chris Champlain just keeps running, and runs to the backstage area, laughing as he goes. Lance Errington stops halfway up the aisle, and grabs a towel, which he wraps around Erica's forehead to try to stop the bleeding. A medical crew's out for Erica, who is still gushing blood like a faucet... and Falcon and Lance Errington just exchanged a glance... they're climbing into the ring with David Wright Hubbard and Scott Hall, and they're fighting them! Falcon and Lance Errington are attacking David Wright Hubbard and Scott Hall, and the crowd doesn't know what to think as the cage raises up!!
The H.A.R.P. Squad is out... evidently they've decided that there has been enough carnage out here tonight, and they're breaking up the fight. Randy Savage is getting back up, and he tries to join in as well, but the H.A.R.P. Squad restrains him too. Some of the trainers are out with them, helping Julian Page limp backstage, and the crowd boos as everyone is held apart and helped backstage by the H.A.R.P. Squad.
What can top such a violent, intense brawl as the one we just saw? How about a Gabriel Black vs. Troy Black World Title match? Perhaps. Here comes the special guest ring announcer, Skip Bizby, to take the microphone and give us our introductions.
S. Bizby: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight two hated rivals, two brothers who have been at each other's throats since the beginning of VCW. Both sons of the legendary "Superstar" Sean Black, these brothers realize that there is only room for one man to be the very best of the best in VCW, and each of them is willing to fight for that spot. Tonight, they face each other for the third time in singles competition. Gabriel Black won the first match by injuring his brother's neck to the point where the match could not continue, but Troy Black won the second by defeating his brother in the middle of the ring after forty minutes of hell. Tonight, they meet one more time, with the VCW World Title on the line. So in front of the thousands in attendance, and the millions watching around the world... ladies and gentlemen... LET'S GET READY TO GET IT ON!!!
"A Letter To God" by London After Midnight is playing over the arena sound system, and the crowd's booing loudly... but it's sure strange to see Gabriel Black coming out as the challenger in a VCW World Title match. Gabriel doesn't seem quite as sure of himself, quite as dominant, without the VCW World Title around his waist.
S. Bizby: Introducing first, from Pheonix, Arizona, the challenger in tonight's VCW World Title match. He is known as the longest reigning World Champion in wrestling for more than a decade, when he terrorized VCW for more than a year and a half. His uncanny wrestling skill, heartless determination, and physical conditioning are without peer in VCW. He has defeated the best of the best in VCW time and time again, but only once has he been pinned... and it was in a match against his brother, the man he faces tonight, Troy Black. He has been called the most talented, the most devestating, and the most dominant wrestler in the world... he stands six feet tall, and weighs two hundred and thirty-seven pounds... he is GABRIELLLL BLLLLLLAAAAAACK!!!
Gabriel Black enters the ring, and now he's posing for the crowd, and they're nearly drowning out his music with their boos. Now he's standing still, just watching and waiting for the entrance of his brother. He seems confident enough, but from the grave look on his face one might guess that he knows he's in for the fight of his life tonight.
S. Bizby: And his opponent...
"For Whom The Bell Tolls" by Metallica plays over the arena sound system, and the crowd nearly blows the roof off the building with cheers as the lights turn to dim silver-blue lighting, and Troy Black comes out of the backstage area, wearing the VCW World Title. He stops and stares down the aisle at Gabriel Black, who locks eyes with him, and slowly begins the long walk to the ring.
S. Bizby: From Baltimore, Maryland, he stands five feet ten inches tall, and weighs one-hundred and ninety-five pounds. He is known far and wide in VCW for his swift, devestating offense, his quickness and agility in the ring, and his apparent immunity to pain and punishment. He is known for getting up from any beating that his opponents can dish out... and tonight, he faces his brother, who specializes in seeing that none of his opponents get up. He enters the ring tonight to defend his title, but more importantly to defend his right to the top spot in VCW, in the face of those who claim that it's time for Gabriel Black to once again dominate VCW. He is the brother of the challenger, and the VCW CHAMPION of the WOOOOORRRRLLLD... he is TRRRRRROOOOOYYYY BLLLLLLAAAAAACK!!!!
Troy Black enters the ring and poses on each of the top turnbuckles, holding the title up high, to a deafening barrage of cheers and a blinding flurry of camera flashes each time. He hands the title off to Jerry Rogers, who will be the referee for this match, and turns to face Gabriel... but Gabriel's calling for a microphone, and he gets it.
G. Black: Tony... hang in there, my friend... this one's for you.
Gabriel Black has just dedicated this match to Tony Garcia, who we last saw on a stretcher with severe head trauma. Jerry Rogers is calling for the bell, and we've got a main event match!!
Main Event:
VCW World Title Match:
Troy Black (c)

Gabriel Black gets back up... and Troy Black hooks him for a suplex... snap suplex by Troy Black! Gabriel Black gets back to his feet, and takes a swing at Troy Black... Troy grabs the arm in mid-punch and twists... armbreaker!! And another one!! That can't feel good, especially given Gabriel Black's recent elbow injury!
Gabriel Black pulls away, shaking his arm in pain. They're circling each other again... and they lock up once again. Troy Black puts on a side headlock this time... Gabriel Black tries to counter with a belly-to-back suplex, but Troy Black flips over behind him. Troy Black goes for a German suplex, but Gabriel Black catches him with a back elbow, then slips around him with a go-behind, and it's Gabriel Black with the German suplex, and he bridges for the pin!! Troy Black is down, and Jerry Rogers is making the count!
ONE!!
Kickout at one and a half. Of course a VCW World Title match isn't going to end in the first minute and a half like that. Troy Black gets up shortly after his brother, and we're through with the circling and lock-ups... Gabriel grabs Troy and gives him an inverted atomic drop. Troy's stunned, and Gabriel grabs his head and pulls him into a reverse neckbreaker. Troy Black is down, and Gabriel drives an elbow into him, then covers, hooking the leg. Jerry Rogers is making the count...
ONE!!
Another kickout at one and a half. Troy just doesn't want to stay down this early, and it shows. He's getting back up... but now Gabriel Black brings an elbow down on the back of his neck. Gabriel continues hammering at the back of his neck with elbowsmashes, but Troy's slowly getting up. Gabriel tries to punch him, but Troy Black blocks it, and retaliates with a punch of his own! Troy Black whips Gabriel Black into the ropes, but Gabriel reverses it and lowers his head for a backdrop... but Troy flips over him and grabs his legs, then hooks his legs under Gabriel's arms... sunset flip!! Jerry Rogers goes to count again!
ONE!!
TWO!!
Kickout at two by Gabriel. Unlike Troy, he seems to be taking his time kicking out. Troy Black whips Gabriel into the ropes... Gabriel tries for a clothesline as he comes off, but Troy Black ducks it... then nails Gabriel Black with a savate kick as he comes off the opposite side! Gabriel Black spills out over the ropes to the floor... and Troy Black runs across the ring to jump out onto him with a tope as he stands! Gabriel Black collides with the guardrail, and goes down in a heap on the floor!
They're outside the ring, and Troy Black is still in control. He grabs Gabriel by the hair, takes him over to the ringsteps, and rams his head into them! Gabriel Black is dazed, and Troy Black doesn't let up for a second, grabbing his arm and whipping him into the guardrail. Gabriel is slumped against the guardrail... and Troy Black's measuring him... and he nails him with another savate kick! Gabriel Black flipped over the guardrail into the crowd!

He pulls Troy Black up into a standing headscissors, and lifts him up... and puts him through the table with a piledriver from the apron!! The table is broken, and Troy Black is lying motionless in the wreckage, as the crowd tries to decide whether to boo or chant "VCW!" for the spectacle.
Gabriel Black gets up and rolls Troy Black into the ring, but he's not going for the cover. He grabs Troy by the head and sits him up, then flips over him in a jumping neck snap. He pauses briefly, shaking out the arm again as he tries to fight off the effects of Troy's earlier onslaught... now he picks him up again, and hits a brain buster on him! He's going for the pin, and he might well have it here! Jerry Rogers is making the count...
ONE!!
TWO!!
Kickout at two and a half by Troy Black! Gabriel doesn't look especially happy now, as he grabs Troy and puts his throat across the ropes, then begins choking him.

He's struggling, pulling himself along with his functional arm, but he's not getting very far, very fast... he's trying to scoot towards the ropes... he's not too far away now, but he's still not going very fast!

Gabriel Black made the ropes, and Troy Black releases at the four count from Jerry Rogers, but Gabriel was in that hold nearly forever! His arm has to be non-functional by this point!
Troy Black gets back up, and Gabriel Black is up too, cradling his useless arm at his side. Troy Black nails him with a kick to the midsection, then hooks his arms... he's going for the double arm DDT! The crowd erupts... but he hesitates a second too long, and Gabriel Black just got out of it with a backdrop! Troy Black lands flat on his back, but Gabriel Black can't capitalize... he just staggers into a corner, holding his battered arm in pain.

Troy Black just rolled his right shoulder up!! Gabriel's right arm couldn't hold his shoulder in place in its badly damaged condition, and Troy escaped!! Gabriel Black's grimacing in pain, and it's clear that even performing the move may have been a difficult feat for him with his badly injured arm. But he's shutting it out... his face, covered with blood, just locked in a steely, wrathful glare at Troy as he gets up... and he's signalling for the Destiny Driver! This is the move that gave Troy Black his first neck injury, and he's pulling it out again!

(Troy Black retained the VCW World Title.)
"For Whom The Bell Tolls" by Metallica is playing, and the silver-blue ring lights come on, with the crowd's wild cheering drowning out the music. Troy Black drops to his knees, holding his neck, but with a look of relief and happiness on his face, and Gabriel's just sitting in the corner, with his face buried in his hands, shaking his head. Troy Black goes over to Gabriel and puts a hand on his shoulder, then helps him up. Gabriel Black and Troy Black stare into each other's eyes, and slowly Troy Black extends a hand... and Gabriel Black takes it! Gabriel Black and Troy Black exchange a handshake in the middle of the ring, and Gabriel Black just embraced his brother!!
The crowd is exploding in cheers... many of them can't believe it, and wait for the inevitable belly-to-belly suplex or attack... but it doesn't come. Gabriel Black goes over to the timekeeper's table and retrieves the VCW World Title... he's staring at his own blood-covered reflection in it... he just kissed the title belt... and he turns and hands it over to Troy, then raises Troy's hand, and the crowd erupts! Gabriel Black and Troy Black go to opposite corners of the ring, and each poses on one of the opposite turnbuckles, getting a burst of deafening cheers from the crowd. After nearly two years, after Gabriel Black nearly broke Troy's neck, then tried to finish the job later, after two years of hatred and rivalry, it appears that Gabriel Black and Troy Black have finally come to terms with one another!!
