Monday Night Wrestling 12/18/00 (VCW 100)

Once again, wrestling fans, we're proud to welcome you to VCW Monday Night Wrestling, coming at you live from the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indiana!! We've got a great show for you tonight, as Troy Black teams with Robert Danson and the Wrecking Crew to face all four members of Hell's Bikers!! In addition, Gabriel Black forms an uneasy alliance with Falcon to take on Tony Garcia and Chris Champlain, Julian Page defends the VCW Intercontinental Title against Owen Addison, Devaccio Pola rekindles an old, bitter rivalry with Rob Solomon, and so much more!! We've got one hell of a show set to go for tonight, and you won't want to miss a bit of it!!

We're starting off, however, with something a little less exciting than all of that, as "Smells Like Nirvana" by Weird Al Yankovic begins playing. Two weeks ago, Ruby Richard Cage scored a major upset victory over Steve "Mongo" McMichael... one that seemed to make Moy Lazzario rather unhappy. Tonight, they're having a return match, in which Mongo hopes to prove that his loss to one of the least feared and respected men in VCW was indeed the fluke that it seemed to be, by squashing Ruby Richard Cage as planned tonight.

Ruby Richard Cage comes to the ring and makes his Ruby Cutter sign to a sizzling, sputtering attempt at a pyro show, then grabs a microphone and turns to face the crowd. They're mostly either booing, going for a bathroom break, or just sitting there looking uninterested.

R.R. Cage: You love me... you hate me... you'll NEVER get rid of me.

The old, tired catchphrase gets a mild round of boos.

R.R. Cage: You know, I've got a match tonight against Mongo, this big football-playing monkey, and I ain't happy about it. He already got banged once, and now he's coming back for more? He thinks it was a fluke that I beat him? I DON'T THINK SO. Because right now, I'm JACKED UP, and I'm ready to make him FEEL THE BANG!!

Well, we'll just see about that, because "The Four Horsemen" by Metallica just kicked on, and here comes Steve "Mongo" McMichael, accompanied by Moy Lazzario. Wait, this isn't right... it's a two-on-one situation. But they're coming to the ring, and Moy Lazzario gives Mongo a few words of encouragement or maybe advice before he steps into the ring for this match!

Steve "Mongo" McMichael
w/Moy Lazzario

vs.

Ruby Richard Cage

Steve McMichael dominates this match with plenty of kneelifts and forearm smashes, and the occasional gutwrench suplex. Once again, Ruby Richard Cage hits the Ruby Cutter out of the Gorilla Press attempt, getting a count of two. But when he goes for a second Ruby Cutter, Mongo shoves him off into the turnbuckles, then tackles him out of his boots when he turns around. The Tombstone finishes the match after that.

Steve McMichael pinned Ruby Richard Cage with the Tombstone in 0:01:22.
Rating: -**

Ruby Richard Cage is laid out in the ring, and Moy Lazzario quickly enters, carrying a microphone. Oh, good... now he gets to boast about his partner beating Ruby Richard Cage, as if that hasn't been done hundreds of times before.

M. Lazzario: Good job Mongo. It's just like this stupid Viagra-popping, frizzled old man to think that he can get lucky twice against one-half of the best tag team in VCW, but he's wrong. And in this case, we need to show him what the penalty for being wrong is.

Moy Lazzario and Steve "Mongo" McMichael are stomping away at the fallen body of Ruby Richard Cage, a sight with the crowd greets with total indifference. It's a two-on-one double-teaming, a savage beating of a man who can't defend himself... and nobody cares. Suddenly, Hunk Higgins comes charging out of the backstage area, getting the very mildest of pops from the crowd, probably just from one or two people who need glasses and think he's really Hulk Hogan. In one hand, he's carrying a cup of hot coffee; in the other, a high-heeled women's shoe. He enters the ring... and he sloshes hot coffee in Mongo's face!! Moy Lazzario turns to face him... and he jabs the heel of the shoe into his eye!! Moy Lazzario and Mongo both double over, clutching at their faces, and Hunk Higgins grabs each of their heads and knocks them together! They fall down and roll out of the ring, as Hunk Higgins helps his fallen partner to his feet, then grabs a microphone.

H. Higgins: Well, ya know somethin', Mister Lazzario, if you think you're gonna be able to take out a legend of this sport that easily, you'd better start thinking harder, dude. Because if you want to jump on my partner's back, Jack, then you've got me to deal with, brother. So you just bring Mongo on down, brother, and we'll put the titles on the line if you can stop running away like the cowards you are and face us at Deck the Halls. So you better get ready, dude, because the Middle-Aged Outlaws are still the greatest team in the wrestling world, brother, and everybody knows it. So what'cha gonna do when Hunk Higgins, the big man Ruby Richard Cage, and the forty-two inch anacondas RUN WILD ON YOU!?!?

Moy Lazzario and Mongo are staring into the ring, looking pretty angry at being run off by Hunk Higgins... and it's highly doubtful they'll fail to take this challenge. In fact, Moy Lazzario has a microphone right now, and he looks ready to reply to that!

M. Lazzario: You've got a match, old timer. We're gonna kick your wrinkled-up, forty-two-inch happy-Jack asses!!

Moy Lazzario and Steve McMichael turns and head backstage as the Middle-Aged Outlaws remain in the ring, posing for the crowd, which responds with complete and utter disinterest. After a while, they turn and head backstage as well. Every event needs an undercard, and it looks like Deck the Halls has a clearly stated match signed for that purpose right now.

Another match set to take place at Deck the Halls pits Stormy Weathers and Big Trouble against the combination of Devaccio Pola, Salvage Demonio, and Melissa DelArmeggio. Tonight, Melissa is faced with the daunting task of facing Ron Reese single-handedly, one-on-one... on a night where she may not have fully recovered from the vicious attack by Crimson, Tony Garcia, and Lorenzo Vasquez on her back two weeks ago. "Sad But True" by Metallica is playing, and here comes Melissa right now, looking like she wants to be confident, but can't quite manage it. Who can blame her? She's facing a man roughly three times her size!! She has a microphone.

M. DelArmeggio: I'm sure nobody really thinks I stand a chance against Ron Reese. Troy told me I shouldn't have ever agreed to this match. But nobody thought I stood a chance against David Wright Hubbard... nobody thought I stood a chance against my brother... and I beat them too. And since the road to getting my hands on Stormy one more time is through Ron Reese, and I already know I'll do anything to get my hands on Stormy... I just haven't got a choice. I HAVE to beat Reese tonight.

"Gor-Gor" by GWAR is playing now, and here comes Ron Reese, accompanied by Stormy Weathers. Melissa's amazingly tal for a woman, nearly six feet... but just look at Reese. He's positively MASSIVE, and there's no lack of confidence on the faces of Stormy Weathers and Ron Reese. Reese enters the ring, and stares down at Melissa, and a referee enters the ring, calling for the bell to begin the match.

Melissa DelArmeggio

vs.

Ron Reese
w/Stormy Weathers

Melissa charges in with a few stiff kicks to the knee of Ron Reese, then a dropkick to the knee, but Ron Reese barely seems to feel it. He just casually grabs her as she stands up from the dropkick, then tosses her into the corner and slaps her around with forearms and careless punches. Melissa slumps in the corner, and Ron Reese just picks her up over his head in a Gorilla Press with no effort... he gingerly, slowly steps up to the second turnbuckle, with Melissa held over his head... then TOSSES HER INTO THE THIRD ROW!! Holy crap, Melissa just got tossed into the crowd... she pulls herself out and climbs over the guardrail, having had her fall cushioned by the people catching her... but what a display of power by Ron Reese! She's staring into the ring with a look on her face that says it all: How in the HELL do I beat this monster!? The referee is admonishing Reese for endangering the fans like that, and wait... Stormy Weathers comes from behind Melissa and nails her right in the injured back with the ugly stick (boy, it's kind of sad when Stormy Weathers is the only one in the match with a grasp of long-term psychology), then rolls her into the ring!!

Ron Reese attacks Melissa with a few minutes of pondering offense, consisting almost entirely of forearm smashes and weak-looking slams, then grabs her by the throat with both hands... here comes the Double Choke Bomb!! No, not this time, because Melissa just kicked him low!! He doubles over, and Melissa gets up... she measures him and pivots suddenly... BACK BRAIN KICK!! Ron Reese just took a spin kick to the back of his massive head, and he's down! Melissa goes for the cover, but only gets two! Ron Reese starts to get up, a little groggy... and Melissa does it again with a second Back Brain Kick!! Another cover... but it only gets two and a half. Melissa's going up to the top turnbuckle now... could be a frog splash... but Stormy Weathers shakes the ropes, and Melissa falls across the turnbuckle! Now Reese is up, still a little punch-drunk from two Back Brain Kicks, and he grabs her by the throat and hauls her off of the turnbuckle... and hits the Double Choke Bomb!! He goes for the cover... and Melissa just BARELY gets a shoulder up at two and nine-tenths!!

Ron Reese is calling to Stormy for a table... and Stormy Weathers slides a table into the ring!! Ron Reese sets it up, but as he does, Melissa's back up... and she nails him with a low blow from behind!! He doubles over again... and takes a THIRD Back Brain Kick!! He crumples to the mat, and Melissa drops a knee right on the back of his head for good measure!! She turns him over and goes for the pin... and she beats him!! Melissa DelArmeggio just defeated Ron Reese!!

Melissa DelArmeggio pinned Ron Reese after a kneedrop on 0:04:55.
Rating: -** 1/2

Stormy Weathers is irate, and he's in the ring, sneaking up behind her with the ugly stick... but no, she turns around and catches him in the act! He swings the ugly stick, but Melissa catches it in mid-swing and snatches it away, then tosses it into the crowd!! She backs Stormy into a corner and grabs him by the neck, drawing a hand back to punch his lights out... but Reese is back up back up behind her, and he clobbers her from behind!! Reese grabs her by the throat again... and hits another Double Choke Bomb!! Melissa is laid out, and now he picks her up again... and gives her a Double Chokeslam through the table!! Melissa's back was already injured... this can't be doing her any good at all!! And now Stormy has a microphone... unfortunately.

S. Weathers: Girl, you better just go back to making crappy movies that don't nobody watch anyway, because otherwise ol' Stormy's boys are gonna break you in half like a little stick!! I tell you what... you ain't even worth my trouble, so I don't even think I'm gonna be in the match at Deck the Halls... my boys Ron and Jorge are man enough to take you on and your midget friends in a handicap match! If you want me in that match, we're gonna have to put in a stipulation... if I pin your ass, you have to come on back to my hotel room that night, and you and Stormy are gonna be riding the LOVE TRAIN all night long!! You put that in the contract, or I ain't getting in the match!!

When it comes to his moral level, Stormy Weathers has hit rock bottom and started to dig. Stormy Weathers and Ron Reese are leaving the ring, as some trainers help Melissa out of the wreckage. Knowing how badly Melissa wants a shot at Stormy Weathers, she may even accept that stipulation, though a similar one in last year's Blood and Thunder match led to her contract being held up and almost totally derailed her wrestling career.

"Calling Dr. Love" by KISS is playing now, as Melissa is helped backstage, and here comes "Doctor" Dave Adams, along with Nurse Vivacia. He's scheduled to take on Dean Sanders, one half of Stiff Competition, tonight... and at Deck the Halls, he and Main Street Pete must face Stiff Competition in a return match from their last meeting at Spontaneous Combustion. But before we get down to the action, Dave Adams has a microphone in his hands.

D. Adams: Before I take down Dean Sanders as part of proving that I'm one of the best wrestlers in VCW, I've got a little something to say, and it's to all you ladies out there. Get ready for some love, because after the match, the Doctor is making house calls all night long. I'll slip into your bed and make you scream my name, as your body is frozen by the pleasure explosions firing off between your legs... and as you look at me with your pretty little eyes, glazed over by the sensation of sexual stimulation like you've never had it before, you'll find out that your entire world revolves around my axis, and that I'm the God who gives you something more precious than life itself.

And when I'm gone, as you lay there, dripping with the delirium of ultimate satisfaction, you'll know that your life has no more purpose except to count down the days until I come back again to bring your through the gates of heaven one more time, to send the shock of the electricity of the ecstasy through your body for a few more precious minutes. So ladies... brace yourselves for the coming of the orgasmic overlord, and the pleasures that I'm going to bestow upon each and every one of you.

Well, Dave Adams, thanks for killing our time with your nonsensical, irrelevant banter... but as "War Machine" by KISS plays over the arena sound system, and Dean Sanders steps out of the backstage area, it looks like he's planning to kill more than just time!! Dave Adams doesn't look so sure about this all of the sudden, but Dean Sanders is stepping into the ring, and we've got a match!!

"Doctor" Dave Adams
w/Nurse Vivacia

vs.

Dean Sanders

Dean Sanders opens up the match dominantly, outwrestling Dave Adams in a few brief exchanges, and taking him down several times. Dave Adams gets fed up with trying to outwrestle Dean Sanders, and tries to brawl with him instead, with no better results; Dean Sanders backs him into a corner, and gives him some stiff chops to the chest and punches to the face and head. With Dave Adams battered and beaten, Dean Sanders starts taking apart his right leg with a few swift kicks to the kneecap, then bringing him down with a kneebreaker and dropping several rapid elbows on the inside of the leg, and applying a kneebar, which causes Dave Adams to frantically scramble to the ropes.

After taking a beating for a few minutes, Dave Adams is able to gain the advantage by reversing an Irish whip into the ropes, giving Nurse Vivacia the opportunity Dean Sanders as he comes off the ropes. Trying to fight off the pain in his right leg, Dave Adams works over Dean Sanders for a few minutes with some basic offense, targeting the neck with several suplexes and shots to the back of the neck, then hits a piledriver and goes for the cover, getting a count of two and a half. He pulls Dean Sanders up and gives him a DDT as well, but that only gets two and three-quarters, and Dave Adams looks pretty frustrated. He goes up to the top turnbuckle and attempts a flying axhandle, but Dean Sanders nails him with a savate kick on the way down, knocking him loopy. From there, he hits Dave Adams with a BRUTAL power bomb, then goes up to the top turnbuckle and executes a flying elbowdrop, getting a count of two and nine-tenths before the kickout. Dave Adams starts to get to his feet, but Dean Sanders just takes him down with another kneebreaker, then slaps on the Figure-Four Leglock. Dave Adams struggles and fights for a few moments, but eventually submits when he realizes there's no escape.

Dean Sanders made Dave Adams submit to the Figure-Four Leglock in 0:08:31.
Rating: **

Dean Sanders just demolished "Doctor" Dave Adams! Is this any indication of what we can expect at Deck the Halls? If so, then Dave Adams and Main Street Pete are in serious trouble. Dean Sanders is heading backstage, and Nurse Vivacia is helping Dave Adams to limp backstage as well... somehow, I don't think he'll be making too many "house calls" after taking this beating.

As Dave Adams disappears backstage, "Degenerated" by the Lone Rangers begins playing, and the crowd explodes into loud boos as Virginia and Arthur Justice come out of the backstage area. Virginia is dressed to fight in a tank top and blue jeans, but also has a clipboard with her, as if ready to make some kind of announcement. She's entering the ring, and with many boos and a chant of "SLUT!" in the background, she takes a microphone.

Virginia: I'm not out here tonight to deal with you people. You already paid for your tickets, your money's already in my pocket, so I don't care what you have to say!! So shut up!!

The crowd boos even more loudly, and the chant continues.

Virginia: No, what I'm here to announce is a co-promotional event between Violent Championship Wrestling and another promotion. Now you know that none of Vince's people are violent enough for VCW... I mean, they even outlawed the piledriver, for God's sake... so that's out. And there's nothing left of AOL and Time Warner's boys but a bunch of old has-beens and green, untalented losers... so that's out. And that little laundrymat company over in Philly... well, even if they're not already closed down by now, they should be. I mean, Justin Credible!? Bilvis Wesley!? What the hell is that!?

A modest-sized chant of "ECW!" starts up among the crowd, naturally, from a few die-hard loyalists. But most of the crowd either boos, or listens intently.

Virginia: Our talent exchange is with Slam Masters Championship Wrestling. Maybe you saw that human punching bag, that blithering nut case Naveed backstage last week. Well, it doesn't end there. We're pleased to announce an interpromotional event with them, on January seventh of the coming new year. And with a little help from an assistant booker who happens to be a friend of mine, I've been meeting with the SMCW people, and we've got a pretty decent card scheduled. So... Rebecca, would you come out here and give me a hand telling me about the card we've drawn up?

What!? "Brackish" by Kittie begins playing, and sure enough, here comes Rebecca Black! She's on the booking team!? It looks that way... she's coming to the ring and grabbing a microphone, as the crowd boos, and standing at Virginia's side. A smirk crosses her face as she prepares to speak.

R. Black: In case you haven't figured it out... yeah, we still control the books. Get used to it. But anyway, I think we managed to figure out a few little plans for the interpromotional thing. Go ahead and tell them about it.

Virginia: First of all... someone needs to open the show. That's why the Middle-Aged Outlaws will team up with SMCW star Woody, to face all three members of Highland Hell, the SMCW WAR Champions.

The crowd doesn't feel too strongly about that... big surprise. The novelty of seeing two guys who think they're Hulk Hogan isn't enough to offset their annoying characteristics and the fact that the match probably won't be much of an athletic spectacle.

R. Black: Yeah... I'm sure that's a dream match in the eyes of a lot of the fans... it'll put all of them to sleep, so they can start dreaming. So we give the fans some time to order a pizza or hit the bathrooms before the real show starts. Then, we start the real show. Melissa... I'm getting a little tired of you thinking that you're hardcore just because you got lucky and survived a match or two with David Wright Hubbard. Well... since you're so hardcore, I went and booked you in a Hardcore Cage Match with Gwen Frye. In case you don't know who she is... let's just say that she's going to show you what REAL violence is like. She flosses her teeth with barbed wire and gargles with battery acid. And in the Hardcore Cage, she's gonna tear you into bloody chunks.

Wait, isn't Gwen supposed to be retired!? Evidently, she's getting one more match against Melissa. The crowd likes that idea... it's been a long time since Melissa's been in a TRULY savage, hardcore brawl, and there hasn't been a Hardcore Cage Match since the exciting meeting between Gabriel Black and Chris Champlain many, many months ago.

Virginia: Next... we've got some title matches. Rob Solomon and Jacob Idol defend the VCW World Tag Team Titles against Dark Storm, Tim Bell gets a shot at the SMCW Cruiserweight Title, currently held by the Drifter. King Rasta has a shot at the VCW Television Title, currently held by Jiro Tobikuma. Devaccio Pola gets a shot at the SMCW Hardcore Title, currently held by Average Joe... and Edgar Richardson gets a shot at the VCW Intercontinental Title, currently held by Julian Page.

Anybody who can get the VCW Intercontinental Title away from that disgrace Julian Page is a welcome champion. The crowd pops for the mention of each match.

R. Black: Just one more thing... don't bet on Jiro Tobikuma hanging onto that title belt until then. He's working a match with my boyfriend, Lorenzo Vasquez, at Deck the Halls... and I'm on the booking team... so do the math. Bet on it... Lorenzo Vasquez against King Rasta, the monster from Jamaica, for the VCW Television Title. And I could tell you a few things about Jamaica... but not right now.

Virginia: Also, if I understand correctly, that freak Marylin Silvera wants back into VCW. Well, we'll let him back in, if he can beat one of our wrestlers at the interpromotional event.

The crowd boos... Marylin Silvera was supposed to be gone already! Nobody wants him back here!

R. Black: Yeah. Too bad that one wrestler is David Wright Hubbard.

That changes their attitude in a hurry, as a huge pop goes up at the mention of David Wright Hubbard. Nobody would mind seeing him give Marylin Silvera one more good thrashing for old time's sake.

Virginia: Also... since Johnny's started being a problem again, and I have Naveed to blame for being a bad influence on him... well, I talked to some SMCW people, and they're wrestling Skarzz and Crimson at the pay-per-view. Just to show I haven't forgotten about you, Johnny, dear.

The crowd doesn't know quite what to think of that one... sure, it should be a great match, but it looks like Johnny and Naveed are being thrown to the wolves. Skarzz and Crimson!? They're two of the most dangerous men in the entire wrestling world! Either one of them could singlehandedly give Johnny and Naveed the fight of their lives... and they're both on the same side now!?

R. Black: You know, you've got a pretty good idea there... to use this chance to get a little revenge on your ex-boyfriend... and great minds think alike. Falcon... just so you don't feel left out, I went ahead and got you a title shot. The bad news is that your shot is for the SMCW Triple Crown World Title, against the reigning champion, The Grave Digger. Good luck... you're gonna need it.

As if Johnny and Naveed weren't unlucky enough... Falcon's practically got a death sentence here. The Grave Digger is known for fighting the entire SMCW roster at once, and WINNING... he's a monster of Crimson-like proportions, if not worse. Falcon's been known to have some success against some of the biggest and baddest men in VCW, including several wins over David Wright Hubbard and coming within an eyelash of beating Crimson a few times... but he'll need to bring everything he has and then some to have any hope of beating the Grave Digger and taking the SMCW Triple Crown World Title.

Virginia: We're still working out a few developmental kinks for the second half of a double main event, so that'll have to wait until later. But right now, that's what it looks like. A little interpromotional fun, brought to you by Administration X and the Spanish Mafia, and all the good people at SMCW. It's coming up on January 7... so enjoy. Thanks for your time, Rebecca.

R. Black: Yeah, don't mention it. Anything for the fans. You KNOW how much I love the fans.

Could that have been any more sarcastic? The crowd's booing loudly as Rebecca Black heads backstage, stopping at the top of the entrance ramp to give them all the finger before disappearing backstage.

Virginia: One more thing. We've been having some problems with Johnny and his idiot friends, so Administration X is taking care of business when Deck the Halls rolls around. It's a two-part plan... first, me and Arthur beat the Heavy Metal Express tonight, and the Manhunters take down Johnny and Ken Collins. Then, at Deck the Halls, we trade off and finish the job. Me and Arthur kill Johnny and Ken, and the Manhunters finish off those two ratings killers, the Heavy Metal Express. So right now, send out Marty and Lars... we've got a match.

"Talk Dirty To Me" by Poison begins playing, and sure enough, here come Marty Jannetty and Lars Coverdale, the Heavy Metal Express. They hit the ring and begin attacking Virginia and Arthur Justice, and this match is on!!

Administration X (Virginia & Arthur Justice)

vs.

Heavy Metal Express

The Heavy Metal Express starts out the match taking advantage of their superior quickness and timing, taking Virginia and Arthur Justice down with a flurry of offense. Virginia and Arthur Justice roll out of the ring after going down a few times, and begin huddling and discussing strategy, but Lars Coverdale climbs to the top turnbuckle and breaks that up by jumping out onto both of them. Lars rolls Virginia back into the ring, and he and Marty nail her with some more quick moves, but Marty gets caught on a cross bodypress attempt and powerslammed, and just like that, control of the match shifts. Virginia and Arthur Justice take turns working Marty over with a lot of power moves for several minutes. After wearing Marty down, Arthur tries to go in for the kill, but a power bomb only gets a two and a half count. A choke slam followed up with a flying shoulderblock only gets two and nine-tenths before Marty pulls a shoulder up. And Arthur goes for the Justifier next... but Marty sees it coming, and backs into a corner when Arthur grabs him from behind, breaking the cobra clutch attempt. Arthur Justice tries to come out of the corner with a clothesline... but Marty ducks, then pops up and nails Arthur Justice with the Sweet Chin Music!! Both men go down!!

Arthur tags in Virginia, but Lars Coverdale gets the hot tag as well, and hands out rapid-fire dropkicks for everyone who gets near him. Arthur Justice and Marty Jannetty begin brawling outside of the ring, and Lars Coverdale takes Virginia down with a Rocker Dropper, then goes up top and hits the Frog Splash as Arthur Justice rams Marty headfirst into the steel steps outside of the ring, then rolls back inside. The referee counts the pin in the ring, but only gets to two and a half before Arthur Justice pulls Lars Coverdale off of Virginia, then hits the Justifier on him. He helps Virginia to her feet, and she bounces off the ropes to hit a big splash on Lars Coverdale for the pin.

Administration X (Arthur Justice and Virginia) defeated The Heavy Metal Express when Virginia pinned Coverdale after a splash in 0:08:27.
Rating: DUD

Virginia and Arthur Justice leave the ring victorious, and so far their plan appears to be a success. The Heavy Metal Express has shown us that they're one of the big reasons why VCW's tag team scene is so competitive at the moment, and Virginia and Arthur Justice just scored a victory over them. Johnny Smiles and Ken Collins will have their hands full at Deck the Halls... but they can't worry about that right now, because they still have to make it past the Manhunters tonight!

Now wait... "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin is playing, and we know what that means... it's time for an appearance by the Hammer of the Gods. This time, it's Jacob Idol, wearing one of the VCW World Tag Team Title belts, accompanied by Jasmina Chastity. He steps into the ring as the crowd boos, and poses to an even louder chorus of boos as Jasmina Chastity grabs a microphone.

J. Chastity: Jessica Judd... you poor, morally deficient little tramp, you're going to get what you deserve at Deck the Halls when Christina Ellis cuts your hair. But Jennie... I'm not done with you yet, and I intend to end the disgrace that you're bringing to the VCW Women's Title. So at Deck the Halls... I'll put aside my ethical beliefs for one night if that's what it takes to end your title reign, and challenge you to a Bikini Oil Wrestling Match. It doesn't matter what I'm wearing... Christina Ellis has taught me a lot, and I know I can outwrestle you and take the title.

The crowd boos, and it's becoming obvious that Jasmina just doesn't get the point. It's the VCW T & A Title, not the VCW Women's Title. VCW is an intergender circuit, so there's no reason for a women's title! Just ask Melissa DelArmeggio or Virginia. But now Jacob Idol's taking the microphone, and the crowd's boos become even louder.

J. Idol: You know, last week we had a few problems with...

Jacob Idol trails off as the crowd begins a "JACOB'S GAY!" chant for him. He stares around at them, obviously annoyed and unsettled, for a few seconds before they die down a little.

J. Idol: Anyway, we had a few problems with Tim Bell, the returning member of the Technicians. Yeah, he's a great technical wrestler, blah, blah, blah... whatever. He has the personality of a mud puddle, and when it comes right down to it, he just doesn't matter in the scheme of things here in VCW. Yeah, I guess he's a three or four-time Television Champion... but I don't care. The only thing that matters to me is that he needs to learn a lesson. And that lesson is that the Hammer of the Gods runs VCW now. Every single one of us holds a title. And if Tim Bell wants to come back now and try to steal our thunder... well, all that's gonna earn him is an early retirement.

Jacob Idol may be speaking a bit too soon here... and it looks like Tim Bell will have something to say about that. "Through The Never" by Metallica begins playing, and the crowd's cheering now as Tim Bell steps out of the backstage area, holding a microphone, and staring down the aisle at Jacob Idol.

T. Bell: You're talking really big for being a second-rate wrestler who got cut from the Technicians because he couldn't handle the pressure. But you'd better be ready to either back up that talk or run, because I'm gonna do my talking in the ring.

Tim Bell runs to the ring, and Jasmina Chastity bails out as Jacob Idol stands waiting for him. Tim Bell's in the ring, trading blows with Jacob Idol, and a referee's calling for the bell... we've got a match!

Jacob Idol
w/Jasmina Chastity

vs.

Tim Bell

They start out with a few wrestling sequences, and be it due to Jacob Idol's mat skills, Tim Bell's ring rust, or some combination of the two, Jacob Idol gets the upper hand, taking Tim Bell down repeatedly, ending in a takedown to an armbar submission, which causes Tim Bell to scramble for the ropes. He looks at Jacob Idol in frustration, but Jacob Idol just shoots him a smarmy grin in return. Tim Bell gets the better of the next lockup, with a single-leg takedown, then a go-behind into a belly-to-back suplex on Jacob Idol as he gets up. Tim Bell proceeds to bring out his suplex arsenal, targeting the neck of Jacob Idol with repeated suplexes. Tired of getting tossed around, Jacob Idol bails out to consult Jasmina Chastity, but Tim Bell goes out after him, and also manages to control the match outside of the ring in a brawling atmosphere, at least until Jasmina Chastity comes from behind and rakes his face with her press-on fingernails.

Jacob Idol introduces Tim Bell's head to the ringsteps, then bangs his arm into the ringpost a few times before taking it back into the ring. Jacob Idol falls back on his usual business, with lots of armbreakers and arm submissions and kneedrops to the arm, capitalizing on any possible remaining weakness after Tim Bell's rotator cuff injury. He lets the arm be for a second to go for the pin on an inverted DDT-Asai moonsault bodypress combo, but only gets two. Except for that arm, Tim Bell still has a lot of general stamina left. Jacob Idol goes back to the arm work, wearing Tim Bell's arm down, but after a few more minutes of offense Tim Bell flips out of an armwringer, then turns around and tags Jacob Idol with a dropkick, sending him down. Jacob Idol gets up at the same time as Tim Bell, who favors his arm heavily, but gets caught with a surprise Frankensteiner.

Fighting off the pain in his arm, Tim Bell brings out the suplexes again, dropping Jacob Idol on the back of his head and neck several times, then begins going for the finish. An Ace Crusher doesn't keep Jacob Idol down for three. Neither does a Michinoku Driver. A piledriver might have, but Jasmina Chastity puts Jacob Idol's foot on the ropes. Tim Bell goes for a power bomb, trying to end this match... but Jacob Idol floats out of it, and seamlessly grabs the arm and hits an armbar takedown, into an armbar submission in the middle of the ring! Tim Bell scrambles for the ropes, in serious pain, but it takes him a while to get there, and he very nearly submits before breaking the hold. The referee checks up on Tim Bell's condition as Jacob Idol turns to consult Jasmina Chastity... who throws him a pair of brass knuckles!! He turns and swings... Tim Bell ducks it, catches the arm, goes behind, and hits a dragon suplex!! Jacob Idol is able to break the hold of the injured arm and roll a shoulder up before the count, but Tim Bell's up first, and picks him up for a Tombstone... no, wait, Jacob Idol's squirms out behind him, and he's going for a German suplex... or at least he was before Tim Bell elbowed him in the face! Tim Bell goes behind and hits a backdrop driver, but doesn't cover... he picks Idol up, then executes a fisherman buster!! But his arm is too weak to hold the move in place for the pinning combination. Instead, he picks Idol up again and hits a brain buster, with what little strength remains in his arm clearly fading fast, then floats over for the pin and the victory.

Tim Bell has made a very impressive return, successfully defeating Jacob Idol on his first match back. "Through The Never" by Metallica is playing, and it looks like Tim Bell would like to be celebrating this win, but the pain in his arm prevents him from even raising it in victory. Instead, he just leaves the ring and heads backstage, clutching his shoulder in pain, as Jasmina Chastity enters the ring to console Jacob Idol and help him out of the ring. They head backstage as well, with the crowd booing them again as they depart.

"Degenerated" by the Lone Rangers begins playing over the arena sound system again, and here come the Manhunters. They've been assigned with the task of taking out Johnny Smiles and Ken Collins tonight. They enter the ring, and do a few X-shaped crotch chops for the crowd that are greeted only with boos. After that, they just stand in the ring, awaiting the arrival of Johnny Smiles and Ken Collins.

"Liquid Mercury" by Jimmy Page begins playing next, and Ken Collins and Johnny Smiles step out of the backstage area, accompanied again by Stacey Lockman. Johnny's lively and energetic, running around and interacting with the fans, but Ken Collins is more businesslike and reserved as he slowly walks to the ring, staring at the Manhunters as if contemplating different ways of dismantling them. Ken Collins enters the ring as Johnny steps up on the apron, and a referee enters the ring, calling for the bell to begin the match.

Ken Collins & Johnny Smiles
w/Stacey Lockman

vs.

Manhunters

Ken Collins starts off with Manhunter #2, and immediately targets his right shoulder by wringing his arm and driving a few elbowsmashes into the shoulderblade. Ken Collins keeps neutralizing him with a series of takedowns, then going after the right arm and shoulder, then tags Johnny Smiles in. Johnny promptly ignores the idea of wearing down the shoulder in favor of hitting a quick, sloppy dropkick, followed by an equally sloppy swinging neckbreaker, then posing for the crowd. Johnny continues the assault on Manhunter #2, completely ignoring the damage done to the shoulder, and Ken Collins is visibly annoyed on the apron. Johnny misses an attempt at a legdrop off the second turnbuckle, and Manhunter #2 is able to make the tag.

The Manhunters dominate Johnny with some power offense for a while, tagging in and out, and occasionally hitting a double-team maneuver, but Manhunter #1 catches an elbow in the face when he tries for a choke slam, and Johnny follows it up with a kick to the midsection and a DDT, then crawls to the corner and tags in Ken Collins, who comes in and starts drilling Manhunter #1 with kicks and chops to the chest, then begins wearing out his right arm as well, trying to set up the California Crossface. But when Ken Collins tries to pick him up for a shoulderbreaker, Manhunter #1 rakes his face, blocking the attempt, then tosses him to a corner and begins laying in knees to the gut.

Manhunter #2 gets the tag, and gives Ken Collins a taste of his own medicine with some stiff chops, then both Manhunters take turns working him over with power moves, brawling, and a lot of restholds. Eventually, after several minutes of pounding away at Ken Collins, Manhunter #1 tags in Manhunter #2, then hits a choke slam on Ken Collins. Manhunter #2 runs over to the opposite corner and punches Johnny in the face, knocking him off the apron, then each of the Manhunters go to one of the top turnbuckles. They take their time doing it, however, and that backfires when Ken Collins sits up and rolls out of the way of the Double Diving Headbutt, then crawls to his corner just as Johnny gets up on the apron.

Ken Collins makes the hot tag to Johnny Smiles, and the crowd goes crazy as Johnny enters the ring and takes on both Manhunters with a series of dropkicks and punches. Manhunter #1 gets a Russian legsweep; Manhunter #2 takes a piledriver. Both begin to get up, but now Ken Collins enters the ring again to give Johnny a little help. Ken Collins takes Manhunter #1 down in the California Crossface, as Johnny catches Manhunter #2 with a superkick, then covers him for the victory!

The Manhunters are rolling out of the ring and retreating up the aisle as Stacey Lockman joins Johnny Smiles and Ken Collins in the ring in celebrating the victory. Virginia didn't win both battles tonight, and judging by their victory over the Manhunters, she'll have her hands full when she teams up with Arthur Justice against Johnny Smiles and Ken Collins this Saturday at Deck the Halls.

Johnny Smiles, Ken Collins, and Stacey Lockman are heading backstage, but now "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin is playing again, and here comes Rob Solomon, carrying his hockey stick and wearing one of the VCW World Tag Team Titles. He enters the ring, preparing to do battle with one of his most hated rivals, Devaccio Pola, one more time. They've been known to have some violent, bloody brawls in the past in VCW, and tonight shouldn't be an exception.

"Iron Man" by Black Sabbath starts playing now, and the crowd breaks into cheers at the familiar sight of Devaccio Pola stalking out of the backstage area and slowly walking to the ring, eyes wide with intensity and madness, no doubt thinking about all of the things he plans to do to Rob Solomon. He steps up on the apron... and Rob Solomon just ran and knocked him off with a savate kick!! The referee calls for the bell, and we've got a match!!

Devaccio Pola

vs.

Rob Solomon

Devaccio Pola flies backwards off the apron onto the unforgiving steel ramp after getting a savate kick, and Rob Solomon immediately grabs the ropes, then slingshots himself out onto Devaccio Pola with a cross bodypress and begins pounding the crap out of him. Devaccio Pola is down at ringside, and Rob Solomon grabs a chair and gives him a pair of UGLY shots to the head, drawing blood immediately. Rob Solomon pulls him up, then muscles him up for a power bomb, and runs up the ramp to execute a brutal running power-bomb on the ramp!! Devaccio Pola is laid out, and Rob Solomon is just stomping away at him!

Rob Solomon continues to bring the brawl up the ramp, blasting Devaccio Pola with heavy punches and kicks and forcing him in that direction. At the top of the ramp, Rob Solomon gives him a sitdown faceslam on the unforgiving steel, then picks him up again at the edge of the ramp in a standing headscissors, intending to power bomb him off of the ramp through a table below!! But Devaccio Pola backdrops him, and Rob Solomon falls crashing through the table ten feet below instead!! Rob Solomon may be dead among the wreckage of the table, but Devaccio Pola goes down after him with a flying elbowdrop to the crowd's delight, then slings him over a shoulder and hauls his limp carcass back to the ring. Obviously, the referee has been lenient in enforcing the count-out rules tonight.

Back in the ring, Rob Solomon starts to stir, so Devaccio Pola props him up in a corner and nearly executes him with a series of kicks. Devaccio Pola's face is dribbling blood copiously, but he hardly seems to care as he continues beating Rob Solomon to a pulp. Rob Solomon staggers out of the corner and crashes to the mat, and Devaccio Pola goes to follow up with a 450 splash... but Rob Solomon rolls out of the way, and Devaccio Pola wipes out on the mat. Both men get up at about the same time, but Rob Solomon ducks an attempted kick to the head from Devaccio Pola, then nearly decapitates him with a lariat.

Now it's Rob Solomon's turn to beat on Devaccio Pola again, and he takes advantage of it, pounding him in the corner ruthlessly, then taking the excitement level of the match down several notches by putting on an abdominal stretch. Covered in blood and weakening, Devaccio Pola languishes in the hold for a long time, but is finally able to hiptoss his way out of it. But when he tries to throw a kick, Rob Solomon ducks it again, then pops up and hits another devestating lariat. With Devaccio Pola down, Rob Solomon straddles him and punches away at his bloody forehead until the referee pulls him away, then wraps his hands around his throat and begins choking him until the referee gives him a five-count and a stern warning.

Rob Solomon picks Devaccio Pola up and hits the Death Valley Driver on him, but only gets two and a half. Likewise, a sitdown faceslam only gets a count of two and three quarters. Rob Solomon goes outside of the ring and gets a table, then gives Devaccio Pola a piledriver as he starts to get up. He sets up the table, hits another piledriver on Devaccio Pola, then goes for the cover, but only gets two and three quarters. Frustrated, Rob Solomon puts Devaccio Pola on the table, then goes up top, and tries to give him the Katana Legdrop through the table, but Devaccio Pola moves out of the way. Devaccio Pola gets up and tries to put a scorpion deathlock on Rob Solomon, but Rob Solomon pulls him down into a small package somehow, getting only a count of two and nine-tenths. Both men get up, and Devaccio Pola tries for a kick to the head, but once again Rob Solomon ducks, then goes for his lariat... but Devaccio Pola ducks that, and hits a kick to the midsection, then follows it with the Guillotine Kick!! He goes for the cover... and only gets two and nine-tenths!!

A look of frustration crosses Devaccio Pola's blood-soaked face. He goes up top, hitting a flying dropkick, but when he goes for the cover, that only gets two and nine-tenths as well, as Rob Solomon somehow rolls a shoulder up. Growing even angrier, he sets Rob Solomon up on the top turnbuckle and goes for a top-rope Frankensteiner, but Rob Solomon counters it with a top-rope power bomb, folding him up like an envelope!! Rob Solomon goes for the cover, but somehow that only gets two and nine-tenths as well!! Both men take a long time to get up, and get up at about the same time. Rob Solomon goes for a lariat, but Devaccio Pola ducks and tries a kick to the midsection... but Rob Solomon catches his leg and brings him down in a dragon screw, then holds onto the leg and applies a half Boston... but he leaves a leg hanging too far back, and Devaccio Pola grabs it and turns him over, countering into a scorpion deathlock!! Rob Solomon's not far from the ropes, and he makes it quickly, forcing Devaccio Pola to release the hold. Rob Solomon gets up, but Devaccio Pola's waiting on him, and he staggers right into a massive stiff kick to the head!! Rob Solomon goes down like a ton of bricks, and Devaccio Pola covers him for the victory!

Devaccio Pola pinned Rob Solomon after a kick to the head in 0:17:45.

Devaccio Pola just beat Rob Solomon again, but he's not in a good way... he's lost a LOT of blood, and he's taken one hell of a beating! The fans are giving him a standing ovation... they were glad to see these two beat the living hell out of each other one more time!! Devaccio Pola celebrates briefly in the ring, hands raised high in the air with a triumphant smile on his blood-covered face, before turning and walking backstage, a little worse for wear after the brutal match. Rob Solomon remains laid out in the ring as some trainers come in and help him up, then help him to walk backstage.

We understand that, in a moment, Owen Addison will take on Julian Page for the VCW Intercontinental Title, but before that, we've received an interesting bit of footage from Jessica Judd, in response to Christina Ellis's recent challenge to a hair versus hair match at Deck the Halls this Sunday.

Video Footage:

Jessica Judd is shown standing in a store full of hats and wigs, looking through the wigs. After a brief glance, she selects one that approximately matches Christina Ellis's hair in color and length, and turns to the camera.

J. Judd: Christina, you want a hair against hair match with me at Deck the Halls? I accept your little challenge, and I'm even gonna go ahead and do a little shopping for you. See this? You'll be needing it after I get done with you... so just think of it as a little early Christmas present, from me.

See, when you tried to hurt Jennie, then cut her hair, that's when you made your first mistake. Challenging me to this match here was your next one. And when you show up for the tail-kicking I'm gonna give you this Saturday... that'll be the last one, and the last thing anyone will see from you is you getting carried away on a stretcher with a bald head. You jumped on my girl, but you ain't the only one who can actually wrestle a technical match... hell, you ain't even that good. And I'm gonna prove it this Saturday when I beat you so bad that you'll drop out of wrestling and have start entering Sinead O'Connor look-a-like contests full time to make ends meet.

Jessica Judd turns and starts to walk up to the sales clerk's desk with the wig, but turns and looks back at the camera one last time.

J. Judd: So after Deck the Halls, I just know you're gonna appreciate your present. But this ain't all... I've also got to stop by a carpet shop... because after I knock you out, I ain't stopping with the hair on your head.

Jessica Judd directs a malicious, mischievious smile at the camera for a second, then turns away to step up to the sales desk and purchase the wig, as the camera fades out on the whole scene.

Wow. But even with all the issues concerning hair aside, this has the potential to be the best women's match in VCW history, even better than Rebecca Black's meeting with Michelle Hubbard last year at Wrestlewar. But back in the ring, "Until It Sleeps" by Metallica is playing again, and Owen Addison comes out of the backstage area, along with Jennie and Paul Canyon, as the crowd cheers. They enter the ring, and Jennie, who is wearing the VCW T & A Title, grabs a microphone. Owen's scheduled to face Julian Page for the VCW Intercontinental Title, but perhaps Jennie's going to respond to Jasmina's challenge before the match.

Jennie: A little bit earlier, Jasmina Chastity came out here and challenged me for a shot at this title. But there's a few things y'all already know about Jasmina... number one, that I can beat her any time I want, and number two, that she's really a shameless little tramp even if she changes her name and tries not to show it. So since Jessica's already gonna take care of Christina Ellis at the pay-per-view, I'll give Jasmina a shot at my title. But in return, if I win this match, she has to start acting like her old self again, like the bimbo that she is.

The crowd cheers; they like that idea a lot! Now Owen Addison grabs the microphone.

O. Addison: But first, we're about to have a match for a REAL wrestling title! Julian Page, get out here and put the belt on the line, because I'm taking the VCW Intercontinental Title home tonight!!

It doesn't take long for "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin to start playing again, bringing forth Julian Page, still dressed in Bret Hart-like ring attire, as well as the "HITMAN" leather jacket and pink sunglasses, and the VCW Intercontinental Title. He hands off the sunglasses to some kid at ringside, who quickly wads them up and throws them back at him, then takes off the leather jacket and title belt and slides into the ring as a referee climbs in as well, calling for the bell.

For the VCW Intercontinental Title:

Owen Addison
w/Paul Canyon & Jennie

vs.

Julian "The Hitman" Page (c)

Julian Page starts out cockily trying to outwrestle Owen Addison, but being on the receiving end of a few takedowns and painful exchanges convince him that it's not such a great idea. Instead, he takes control by going for a low blow when Owen goes for a headlock takedown. The referee threatens disqualification, but Julian Page dares the referee to disqualify him, seemingly not caring, then begins attacking Owen Addison's knee. He dominates for a while, with a few kneebreakers and leg holds punctuated with eye gouges and low blows whenever Owen seems ready to take advantage again. Julian Page eventually applies a figure-four leglock, but Owen Addison struggles, and finally manages to turn the hold over and reverse it, forcing Julian Page to release it.

Both men stand up, but Owen Addison blocks a punch from Julian Page and fires back with his own, then begins attacking with a series of elbowsmashes to the back of the neck. Owen Addison continues to work over the neck, his superior wrestling skill enabling him to dominate the relatively inexperienced Julian Page. After a few minutes of dominance, Owen Addison gets a near fall with a backdrop driver when Julian Page gets his foot on the ropes, then sets Julian Page up for the Tombstone, only to have him squirm out behind and hit another low blow.

Owen Addison goes down again, and Julian Page goes back to work on the knee, stomping at it mercilessly, then hitting a kneebreaker. He continues to attack Owen for a few more minutes, breaking down his knee further with more blows and leg holds, then goes for the FIVE MOVES OF DOOM to finish the match. He misses the second-rope elbowdrop, though, when Owen Addison rolls out of the way, then falls prey to a desperation elbowsmash from Owen Addison when he gets up.

Owen Addison tries to shake off the pain in his knee, then begins attacking Julian Page's neck again. A piledriver gets only a count of two and three-quarters, and so does a German suplex. Owen Addison whips Julian Page into the ropes, but instead of running off the ropes, Julian Page does a running baseball slide to the outside, hitting Jennie in the face and sending her crashing into the apron. Paul Canyon makes a move for Julian Page, intending to exact revenge, but the referee moves towards him, trying to calm him down. With the referee's back turned, Julian Page reaches into his tights and pulls out brass knuckles, then rolls back into the ring. Owen Addison tries to punch him, but Julian Page blocks it, then decks him with the brass knuckles. Owen Addison goes down, and Julian Page executes the DDT on him, then covers him for the victory as the referee turns around again.

With Paul Canyon busy checking on Jennie, and Owen Addison down and out in the middle of the ring, Julian Page quickly rolls out of the ring and reclaims his VCW Intercontinental Title, then scurries to the backstage area like a thief. He saved his title tonight against an apparently superior opponent, and managed to keep the Hammer of the Gods from losing all three of their matches tonight... but only with a little bit of luck and a lot of questionable tactics.

As the Ontario Color Show and Jennie head backstage, quite upset over the way this match turned out, "Shame" by Rollins Band begins playing over the arena sound system. The crowd begins cheering as Falcon and Gabriel Black, who will team up tonight against Chris Champlain and Tony Garcia tonight in tag team action, come out of the backstage area. They enter the ring, and Falcon grabs a microphone immediately.

Falcon: Cut the music.

The music is quickly cut. Falcon hasn't been in a good mood lately, and it doesn't look like tonight's any exception.

Falcon: Chris Champlain... you thought you had five more days. But I'm getting my hands on you again tonight. You'd better hope Tony Garcia is a big enough man for you to hide behind, because if I can finish you off tonight, I will. You're not the only one who can be vicious and evil. I can be the same way too, and I proved it last year when I was standing side by side with Gabriel, laying waste to anyone who crossed me in VCW. Well tonight, I'm standing here with Gabriel again, and I'm feeling a little bit of the old Falcon coming out again. I'm not going to worry about what's right and wrong tonight... all I'm going to worry about is kicking your ass so bad that what you did to Erica looks tame by comparison.

Falcon wants to hurt Chris Champlain badly... but knowing Chris Champlain, the feeling's mutual. We might find out exactly what's going on in his twisted head right now, because "Stormbringer" by Deep Purple just started playing, and Chris Champlain steps out of the backstage area, carrying a microphone, with Tony Garcia standing behind him, holding his wooden axe handle. Chris Champlain directs a demented glare into the ring as he raises the microphone.

C. Champlain: Quite frankly, Falcon... you have a lot more to worry about than what's right and wrong... you even have a lot more to worry about than kicking my ass really badly. You'd better start worrying about yourself. You'd better start worrying about what you're going to do when I repeatedly bash you in the head with any blunt object I can find, until I give you so much brain damage that you forget how to breathe. You'd better worry about how long an ear or other facial feature can be disconnected from your body before it can no longer be sewn back on. You're stepping into the ring with me, and I frighten myself with the ideas of some of the things I plan on doing to you... so I suggest you start worrying about fighting for your own miserable life, because I'm going to make sure that you have to do that a lot tonight!!

Gabriel can tell you... it's nothing personal. I just like Erica. I like the taste of her blood. I like the sight of her pretty little eyes welling up with tears of pure fear and anguish. I like the sound of her screams. I like the feel of her slender, yet soft body as it pitifully struggles against my iron grasp. When she was one of my betters in the Golden Society, I used to wonder what she would sound like when begging for her life, when all of the desires to preserve her dignity and standing in high society were stripped away, replaced by the most important need of all... the need to see the next second of her life. Rich or poor, black or white, fat or slim... everyone is fundamentally the same when they're reduced to sheer terror, pleading for mercy and believing in the bottom of their heart that death is a few short seconds away. And yet everyone is different... everyone has their own unique facets, their own charming little way of expressing utter soul-piercing terror and fright... everyone is a unique little snowflake, and Erica is the most valuable crystal I've ever found.

But I'm sure you'll be fun too, Falcon. When your outer shell of toughness and anger is peeled away to reveal the vulnerable little child within, I'll love what I do to you as well. I'm sure your screams of pain will be music to my ears as well. Maybe you don't have a pretty face that contorts in pain or Disney princess eyes that widen in terror or soft little breasts that wiggle against my arm as you pitifully try to escape... but variety is the spice of life, and I live for anguish and suffering. Yours will do quite nicely. And if Tony Garcia is kind enough to save me just a little of you, Gabriel... I'd still like to even the score after that little incident where you nearly broke my neck and injured me for several months, and I'll heartily enjoy everything we do to him as well.

Falcon: I told you before... we have one thing in common. And that's that after what you did to Erica, I'll enjoy hurting you every bit as much as you enjoy hurting me. So come on down, and we'll let the pain and suffering begin.

Chris Champlain's not turning down that offer... he's running straight to the ring, not even waiting for Tony Garcia to catch up! Falcon tackles him as he slides into the ring, and they begin brawling immediately, as a referee comes to the ring, calling for the bell to begin the match!!

Falcon & Gabriel Black

vs.

Tony Garcia & Chris Champlain

Falcon starts the match on top of Chris Champlain, pounding away at him, but the referee soon breaks that up. Falcon continues to beat the living daylights out of Chris Champlain, bouncing all around the ring and drilling him at every opportunity. The brawl soon spills outside of the ring, and Tony Garcia comes from behind to attack Falcon, ending Chris Champlain's suffering. Gabriel Black pulls Tony Garcia aside, and the two of them begin brawling, but the damage is done, as Chris Champlain takes control of Falcon outside of the ring. After knocking Falcon headfirst into the ringpost, Chris Champlain grabs the ring bell and nails him with it, opening up his forehead into a nice, bloody wound. He pulls out a table and sets it up, then sets Falcon on it, climbs to the top turnbuckle, and hits a moonsault through the table on Falcon.

Chris Champlain rolls Falcon back into the ring, and continues to pound on him, seemingly giving no thought to the idea of tagging in Tony Garcia or going for the pin. He grinds the heel of his boot into Falcon's bleeding forehead, then climbs on top of him and proceeds to punch him until the referee forces him off. Chris Champlain then puts on a camel clutch, and Falcon, in his wounded and weary state, seems almost unable to fight out of it, but finally summons up a reserve of strength and does so, standing up and dropping back out of the hold, falling on Chris Champlain. Both men take a while to get up, but Falcon gets to his feet first. Rather than to tag in Gabriel, he goes right back to attacking Chris Champlain, laying in a series of kicks and punches to him, then tossing him out of the ring and immediately diving out onto him with a plancha.

Outside of the ring, Falcon introduces Chris Champlain's head to the guardrail and announcer's table, then gives him a piledriver on the steel entrance ramp. Chris Champlain goes limp, but Falcon picks him up and gives him another one, then a third, before rolling him back into the ring. No thought is given to going for a pin, as Falcon continues to pound on Chris Champlain's fallen form. However, Falcon accidentally takes him too close to his own corner, and Tony Garcia tags himself in by slapping the hand of Chris Champlain's limp body. He enters the ring and begins trading blows with Falcon, getting the upper hand immediately. Tony Garcia knocks Falcon from pillar to post, as it becomes evident that Chris Champlain's offense took a lot out of Falcon. After a few minutes of beating the hell out of him, Tony Garcia hits a massive power bomb and goes for the pin... but pulls Falcon up at two, and points to Gabriel, then tosses Falcon's fallen body to his corner.

Gabriel Black tags himself in to a loud pop from the crowd, and runs at Tony Garcia, knocking him off his feet with a dropkick. By just using sheer agility, quickness, and intensity, Gabriel Black takes Tony Garcia down repeatedly. After a few minutes of taking care of business against Tony Garcia, Gabriel Black hits the Destiny Hammer, and goes for the cover... but gets pulled out of the ring at two by Chris Champlain, who was motionless up to this point! Tony Garcia gets up, a little groggy, as Gabriel Black blocks a punch from Chris Champlain on the outside, then whips him into the ringsteps. Gabriel Black's entering the ring again, but Tony Garcia goes over to the apron, and he's got his wooden axe handle!! The referee is protesting, trying to talk Tony Garcia out of it, but it's no use... Tony Garcia just turned and nailed Falcon with a shot to the head as he started to get up and enter the ring!! Now Gabriel is in the ring, and Tony Garcia fells him with a shot from the axe handle too! That's an instant disqualification!

The match is over, but Tony Garcia's enraged attack isn't, not by a long shot! He's hitting Gabriel Black repeatedly with the axe handle like he's gone berserk, and now he's turning to Falcon, and hitting him with it too!! Now he's sitting on Gabriel's back... he executes the camel clutch with the axe handle! He's going to seriously hurt Gabriel Black here! And Chris Champlain is straddling Falcon now, laying in several hard punches to his blood-covered forehead! As usual, the H.A.R.P. Squad is fashionably late, and considerable damage has already been done by the time they spray Chris Champlain with pepper spray and haul him away. Tony Garcia, not wanting a similar treatment, voluntarily releases the camel clutch and leaves the ring. But as he does, he grabs a microphone.

T. Garcia: Gabriel... that's just a little taste, boy. You want to know what's gonna happen to you this Saturday, punk!? I'll show you exactly what you're gonna get.

Tony Garcia drops the microphone, and grabs the axe handle at each end with one of his hands... his face is straining with effort... and he snaps it in half!! He drops the two halves of the axe handle, then turns and starts walking away, as Gabriel Black and Falcon are helped to the backstage area by trainers, medics, and members of the H.A.R.P. Squad. If there was any doubt as to the resentment and anger brewing between Chris Champlain and Falcon or Gabriel Black and Tony Garcia, it's gone now. There will definitely be two intense brawls at Deck the Halls between these two pairs of enemies.

Speaking of intense brawls, "Walk" by Pantera begins playing over the arena sound system, and here comes Crimson, the man who has become known for intense, if short, brawls... which are typically short only because nobody lasts more than a few seconds against him. He has his full entourage with him tonight... Jack Norman, Butch Manson, and Dick Douglas. All four members of Hell's Bikers are present, and they're going to be facing Troy Black, Robert Danson, and the Wrecking Crew in the main event tonight... they're climbing into the ring at the moment. But right now, Crimson has a microphone.

Crimson: Hey, Troy. When you come out here tonight, I'm gonna be real careful not to kill you five days early. I want my belt at Deck the Halls, and I want to win it by putting you six feet under. But all the same, if you step in my face, I WILL fuck you up like you've never seen before... I just won't put you out of your misery until the pay-per-view.

Strong words, but they come from a VERY strong man. Crimson is completely unstoppable these days... and we can only pray that perhaps Troy Black can stop him at Deck the Halls. Or maybe right here tonight, because "Domination" by Pantera is playing now, and here comes Troy Black, wearing the VCW World Title, flanked by Robert Danson, Nicole, and the Wrecking Crew!! He has a microphone, as he stands up on top of the entrance ramp.

T. Black: Crimson, we have a small difference there. Because after what you did to Melissa two weeks ago... after you tried to kill her or cripple her... I don't intend to let you live long enough to get your title shot. Prepare to die.

Troy Black is rushing the ring, and Crimson immediately gestures for Hell's Bikers to cut him off on the way... but the Wrecking Crew and Robert Danson charge at them, and keep them away from Troy!! Troy Black takes off the VCW World Title and tosses it to the timekeeper, then slides into the ring and stands up, pausing briefly to stare up at Crimson's face, which is curling in an evil smile. A referee enters the ring and calls for the bell, and we've got a match!

Troy Black, Robert Danson, & Wrecking Crew
w/Nicole

vs.

Hell's Bikers (Crimson, Jack Norman, Butch Manson, & Dick Douglas)

The ringing bell sets something off in Troy Black, and he lunges at Crimson in a rage, blasting him with a series of jabs, chops, and kicks. Crimson staggers back, caught off-guard a little, then tries to shake it off and rush in, only to catch a savate kick to the chest. He staggers back again, but this time Troy Black follows it up by whipping him into the ropes, then bouncing off the other side, and catching him with a leaping clothesline that knocks him off his feet!! Crimson is down!! He gets back up, leaning against the ropes... and Troy Black runs at him and hits him with a dropkick, knocking him out over the top rope! Crimson gets to his feet, just in time for Troy Black to jump out onto him with a plancha... which proves to be a BIG mistake when Crimson catches him, then tosses him head-first into the ringsteps. Troy Black's head hits the steps in a sick-looking way, and he ceases to move.

Crimson stalks over to Troy and hauls him up off of the floor, revealing that he's bleeding like he's just been shot in the head. He rolls him back into the ring, then climbs in after him, stepping over the top rope. He dominates with a few seconds of standard Crimson offense, as the brawl on the outside of the ring is finally seperated, and the members of each team make their way to their corner. Crimson hits a devestating power bomb, then turns to exchange a grin with the rest of his teammates... but as he turns his back, Troy Black sits up like a zombie, then gets to his feet, with blood still running down his face. Crimson turns around, and a look of amazement crosses his face when he sees that Troy is up again. Troy Black begins hammering away at him again, then grabs his hair and takes him down in a jawbreaker. Troy Black goes to the top turnbuckle as Crimson pulls himself to his feet, then nails Crimson with a flying clothesline when he turns around, taking him off his feet again!

Troy Black tags in John Uldwall, who begins clobbering Crimson with massive blows. Crimson staggers around a little bit, but doesn't go down, until he gets whipped into the ropes, then caught in a massive powerslam to the mat! The ensuing pin attempt only gets a count of one and a half, however. John Uldwall tags in Blade, and the two of them work over Crimson with a few double team power moves, then Blade takes over, continuing the assault on Crimson, before tagging John Uldwall back in. Blade takes Crimson down with a belly-to-belly suplex, then goes to the top turnbuckle and waits on him, as John Uldwall comes from behind... Crimson is getting to his feet... BREAKDOWN!! Crimson gets hit with the Breakdown!! Troy Black, Robert Danson, and Blade head Jack Norman, Butch Manson, and Dick Douglas off before they can step in for the save, and John Uldwall covers Crimson... but only gets a count of two!! Crimson kicked out of the Breakdown at two, and he doesn't look happy!!

John Uldwall lays in some massive punches on Crimson as he stands, blows that would knock any other man off his feet, but Crimson barely seems to feel them. He drills John Uldwall in the stomach with a huge right hand, then grabs him by the throat... CHOKESLAM!! He grabs Blade, and pulls him away from his brawl with Butch Manson, then clobbers him across the back... he has him by the throat too... and he gets the Chokeslam too!! Crimson pulls Robert Danson off of Dick Douglas, and Robert Danson nails him with repeated punches to the face and ribs... but Crimson just mows him down with a lariat, then picks him up off of the mat by the throat, lifts him into the air... another Chokeslam, on Robert Danson!! Jack Norman, Dick Douglas, and Butch Manson are triple-teaming Troy Black in the corner, and Crimson stacks both members of the Wrecking Crew, as well as Robert Danson, on top of each other, then puts a single foot on top of the mass!! The referee goes down to count, and Crimson gets three!!

Hell's Bikers (Crimson, Jack Norman, Butch Manson, and Dick Douglas) defeated Troy Black, Robert Danson, and The Wrecking Crew when Crimson pinned Blade, Uldwall, and R. Danson after the Chokeslam in 0:05:38.
Rating: 1/2*

The crowd's booing loudly, but the result can't be disputed. Crimson just destroyed three men and made it look easy... and now the other members of Hell's Bikers have Troy Black tied up in the ropes, hanging limply by his arms, after beating the living hell out of him in the corner. Trainers are out to help John Uldwall, Blade, and Robert Danson away from the ring, but Hell's Bikers aren't letting them get anywhere near Troy Black... it appears that Crimson isn't done here just yet.

Once the trainers and officials are a safe distance away, Crimson motions for the other members of Hell's Bikers to head backstage, and they're on their way... Crimson's leaving the ring too, and he's searching under the ring... he's got a baseball bat!! Crimson steps into the ring with a baseball bat, and Troy Black is still motionless in the ropes! He's measuring Troy Black... he's drawing back the bat... Good Lord, this'll kill him!! Crimson is about to murder Troy Black in cold blood in the middle of the ring... but instead he's dropping the bat and turning away. Thank God... maybe he's come to his senses. He promised that he'd leave something left of Troy Black for Deck the Halls, and that may be what he's doing.

Crimson's looking out at the crowd, at all the people booing him and staring into the ring in shock at the carnage he's caused... but Troy Black is stirring behind him!! Troy Black just squirmed free from the ropes, and he's behind Crimson... he has the baseball bat!! Troy Black comes from behind, and nails Crimson right in the back of his bad knee with the bat!! Crimson staggers forward and falls against the ropes, then turns around, with pain on his face... he felt that!! Troy Black nails him in the midsection, and Crimson limps and staggers forward... he's hunched over, and Troy Black's measuring his head now... HOLY SHIT, Troy Black just hit Crimson full-force with the bat!! The sickening sound of wood against bone continues to ring out across the arena even after the blow... it's a miracle that Crimson's head isn't somewhere in the cheap seats. As it is, he probably has a broken neck or a cracked skull! He's bleeding heavily, and he's laid out on the mat, not moving!!

The crowd's cheering, and Troy Black drops the bat... he's going up to the top turnbuckle, and the crowd's cheers get even louder as he comes off the top... BLACK DAGGER!! Crimson is still stretched out in the ring, motionless, and Troy Black is rolling out of the ring! He just laid Crimson out in the middle of the ring, just like Crimson's done to countless opponents before! "For Whom The Bell Tolls" by Metallica begins playing and the arena lights are replaced by Troy Black's dim silver-blue lights as Troy Black reclaims the VCW World Title from the timekeeper's table and heads up the ramp. He stops at the top of the ramp to raise the VCW World Title high above his head, with his face covered in blood that appears a dark shade of purple in the unusual lights. Will Crimson have anything left for Deck the Halls!? And if he does, who will walk out of that match with the VCW World Title!? We're out of time tonight, but tune in to Deck the Halls this Saturday and find out!!
