(Match Order/Card Subject to Change)
Jay B vs Chris Orton
The Brolmpics are coming ever closer and it's going to be insane! Ton's of Bro-ing! Whatever that is. But Jay B looks to keep his momentum going against the former and first ever MSW Champion, "Bad Guy" Chris Orton. Orton has been on fire and even picked up a victory of former MSW Star Peyton Kaiser. It was a shame to see him go, but Chris Orton and Jay B are both on top of the world right now. Chris Orton hasn't quite found an opponent for WAR yet, but if he picks up a win of the residential party rocker here at Unstoppable, he may not be flying under the radar for much longer.
Singles Match
BoNzO The Clown vs Nikki Venom
BoNzO had such an extravagant night picking up his debut victory against the parakeet who has been focusing his attention elsewhere in the Hardcore 24/7 Division. But Bonzo is making waves and next up on his list for having a fun time is a man that's not having the best of times right now, Nikki Venom. Bonzo hopes to turn that frown upside down and maybe make a few balloon animals along the way! With Nikki trying to spread his positive message of the people beginning to really see what is right and wrong on their own-- maybe he'll even put on a bit of clown makeup and join Fun Times, inc as he heads towards WAR to take on Silas Romero a man that is everything Nikki stands against.
Singles Match
Wolf Parker vs Matt Ward
Wolf Parker has been called a lot of things, but dominant is what we can call him now. Even though he's only had one official match in MSW, Drew Stevenson can attest to how dominant Wolf has been. So now is his second match, taking on Matt Ward. Ward has not had a whole lot of success and even took home an L twice against the Shades when nobody thought it would happen. Now, Ward takes on one of his biggest challenges, Wolf Parker. Wolf obviously has something to prove to Drew Stevenson and continued his path through Duke Andrews, and now looks to continue it through Matt Ward on the way to WAR.
Singles Match
"The Nigerian Nightmare" Ndamukong Asomugha vs Mark Storm
The Nigerian Nightmare (we don't know how to pronounce his actual name), is making his in-ring debut against Mark Storm. There's not a whole lot to be known about him, except that he's been working to make himself as tough as possible against all kinds of opponents. Mark Storm returned to the main event at US20 against Chris Williams and fell just short. The distractions of Capital Crew probably did not help matters any either, but now we're here. The Nigerian Nightmare is a big man, at 6'7" and nearly 400lbs so Mark Storm is going to have his work cut out for him giving up a lot of size.
Singles Match
Logan Brock vs Bullshark #5
Logan Brock picked up his victory over Nikki Venom looking to further send his message to TJ Bryce and the PURE15 title, whom suffered a loss at the hands of Drew Stevenson. It has been decided by Logan's great record and attitude that he would face TJ Bryce for the PURE15 title at WAR in San Francisco but now he's not alone. Duke Andrews threw his name into that hat now as well and he has a contendership match later on with stipulations adding that 1/2 of Capital Crew may be added to that title match as well, most likely to get at Duke. So now the #1 contender may be looking at a possible fatal 4 way for the PURE title so tonight he looks to send a message to all of his challngers as he takes on Bullshark #5, the adopted shark of the "Mitchell clan."
Singles Match
Silas Romero vs Barrel
Silas has been on fire and he's been letting everybody know over twitter @knockoutsupreme that he's a strong 4-0 and he looks to make it 5-0 as he goes up against the monster known as Barrel. Barrel is 1/2 of Capital Crew and 1 month ago nearly took Duke Andrew's head off with multiple big boots and now has a pending chance at TJ Bryce's PURE 15 title, depending on if Duke Andrews pulls out the win later in the night. Barrel is very no nonsense and won't have any qualms taking it to the Hipster Hercules and trying to take his head off while he's at it. On the other hand, if Silas is able to go 5-0 after this show he not only puts a dent in the Capital Crew by defeating the muscle, he may also get himself into the PURE title picture, win or not. At this point, it's probably more about survival.
Singles Match
Drew Stevenson vs LeBroc Harris
This is a match that's been waiting for a while. Before Season 1 concluded so abruptly, we were one show away from seeing these two technical wrestlers going head to head over who's the best, really. So as both men are heading towards WAR and wanting to make a statement with their presence felt (Drew especially), a win here on our go-home show could REALLY help their case.
Singles Match
Duke Andrews vs BURAI w/ Alex Bradford
A special attraction match. BURAI had a brief stint in IC3's previous project that was housed in the arena that we will be in for WAR, but had his connected in good standing with IC3 for his great performances and of course having strong ties with IC3 enthusiast and long time MSW commentator, Alex Bradford. So this is where things get interesting for Duke Andrews. He's been on fire with great matches, but just coming short of the W at the previous unstoppables. So, after demanding a shot at the PURE15 title from IC3, a deal was made. IC3 is flying in the Japanese Hitman, BURAI, from Japan to Kansas City, Missouri. And if Duke Andrews is able to pick up the victory over BURAI with Alex Bradford in his corner, Duke Andrews WILL get that championship shot. And because IC3 is so confident in the fact that Barrel will be focused on Duke and not TJ Bryce, Barrel will be added in as well with Duke's victory. Should Duke not win, he will face Barrel in a rematch at WAR and perhaps BURAI will make the PURE title match a triple threat over a fatal 4 way. Either way, Duke has a lot riding on this match and a win here can spell big things for him.
Singles Match
Tevolo vs Frank Debauchee
These two have been going at it for almost 2 months now. It started on twitter and it's escalated over so many boundaries every time they're in the same building. At US20, Debauchee stated he could not wrestle and got a doctors release form stating he was not medically cleared. He did however watch the match from afar in a recliner, much where IC3 sat the first time he watched Drew Stevenson compete across the street for the first time. But now there's no more running. Tevolo finally gets his hands on Debauchee when Frank said his hand was miraculously healed and Doctor Vic cleared him. Now Tevolo can't wait.
MAIN EVENT
Tommy Angel on Guest Commentary
Frankie Cocheese w/ Barrel & Chris Williams vs The Shades
Now this is where things really get interesting. We have been seeing Williams and Cocheese be at each others throats week in and week out, and both men have laid their claim at Tommy Angel's championship that he successfully defended against Referee Mike Maddix at US20. Tonight Tommy Takes the night off but joins Bradford and Smith at the commentary table after being given the power to choose who he faces at WAR, be it Frankie Cocheese or be it Chris Williams. But instead of a 1 on 1 contendership, both men are forced to work together in a main event tag team match as they take on... The Shades! The problem here is that there's Red and Purple, the "Evil" Shades. And of course the originals, Yellow and Green, the Shades of Destruction. After the Shade on Shade violence and Green and Yellow making a triumphant return at US20, it's hard to say who the Blue Shade will bring.
Intro
EM ES DUB! EM ES DUB! EM ES DUB! EM ES DUB! EM ES DUB! EM ES DUB! EM ES DUB! EM ES DUB!
Bradford: That is absolutely not all, Smith! Jay B takes on BAD GUY! That's right folks, Chris Orton in action taking on that stupid "party rocker" and he's for sure to give him a lesson that he'll never forget! And there's BONZO! Now, I'm really not a big fan of clowns and he's taking on Nikki Venom who's had his bit of interaction with Silas Romero and they'll be squaring off in two weeks at WAR as well and I'm not quite sure who I'm more excited to cheer for!
Smith: Well, you could do your job unbiased and call the action.
Bradford: That's what we have you for, Smith! I'm here to add some flavor to your life!
Smith: Uh huh, well that loose cannon...
Bradford: Wait, LC is competing tonight?! I need to call his momma!
Smith: No, Bradford, I'm referring to "The Radical" Wolf Parker and he's taking on the man that calls himself the "Windy City Nightmare" Matt Ward! Now, we've been seeing for the past almost three months, Wolf Parker has been launching attack after attack on Drew Stevenson and every time has just been talking about this "puzzle" that Drew Stevenson has needed to figure out. And finally we heard Drew Stevenson two weeks ago step up and say something and he's ready for Wolf and whatever he can bring to the table!
Bradford: We'll see about that. Drew said he was going to have eyes in the back of his head and then Wolf got the jump on him again. He's got his number, Smith, plain and simple. Nothing Drew can do will be able to stop this until he solves the puzzle. But I tell you what I AM excited for tonight other than seeing Wolf Parker destroy Ward and give him another concussion, is The Nigerian Nightmare! A massive man full of power gracing us with his presence and he's going to destroy Mark Storm tonight! Gonna squash him like a pancake!
Smith: Well we will just wait and see, but that's only part of the show tonight! I couldn't be more excited for this show, Bradford. It has more explosive elements than it did when we came back for Season 2! Knockout Supreme Silas Romero takes on the big man and one half of the Capital Crew, Barrel! Both men over the past two weeks have said they were going to let this be a fight and both vowed to knock the other out. We know Silas Romero has heart and determination when his mind is set on something, and he plans on heading into WAR against Nikki Venom with all kinds of momentum! And on the flip side, Barrel isn't going to let this be a walk in the park! We've also got your client BURAI coming in from Japan to take on Duke Andrews! Now big stipulations on the line with this one.
Bradford: ABSOLUTELY! BURAI has been looking forward to this match for a while now. It's opportunity, Smith! Sure, sure, Duke Andrews has his opportunity that he got on a demand, strictly because Mister Cornelius was feeling generous two weeks ago but if Duke wins, he's got Barrel getting into that match to terrorize him as well! That match of course being the PURE15 championship at WAR. Now, should BURAI win, then there's a very good chance that the spot will be given to BURAI and WHEN that happens, I'm not too sure who to root for, seeing as I represent TJ Bryce AND BURAI.
Smith: We finally get to see a technical masterpiece between LeBroc Harris and Drew Stevenson, #1 Contender for the PURE15 championship Logan Brock takes on Bullshark #5 who with his brothers and sister haven't had much luck, despite their valiant efforts, in claiming the Hardcore Championship! Speaking of the Hardcore Championship, as always the 24/7 rule is in effect and Chris Williams is our current champion! Which if he keeps that belt through the night, it instantly makes anything he does, or done to him, in the main event perfectly legal! And of course, our pre-main event, Tevolo finally gets the chance to get his hands on Frank Debauchee!
Bradford: Mister February is going to crush TiVo! That unappreciative little punk has done nothing but to try and terrorize Mister Debauchee for weeks on end, ever since he lost to Delsin Oswald and blamed Mister Debauchee, so much so that he ended up terrorizing things backstage and had himself suspended from the arena for a night! Debauchee's hand did miraculously heal after Unstoppable #20, and I can't wait to see that unappreciative punk get what he deserves from Mister February. I can't believe Jacob Mitchell wasted his time with TiVo.
Smith: Well his name is Tevolo, and I think you've got your fact mixed up, Bradford. Frank Debauchee has done anything and everything in his power to avoid an actual confrontation with Tevolo but tonight he has nowhere left to run, just two weeks before WAR and it looks like WAR is starting early! It's going to be an explosive night that I can hardly contain myself! And folks, we have to give a big shout out to two of our good friends and guest stars, Christian Michaels and Javen!
The camera heads over to ringside, giving us a shot of CM and Javen with front row seats for the event tonight.
First Class Ticket
“Money (Instrumental)” by Pink Floyd hits the arena, nearly three quarters full erupts in a loud chorus of booes. Out from the back steps the man Missouri loved to hate, second to only maybe Stan Kronke, Isaac Cornelius III, IC3. Most of the usual suspects were there, Tommy Angel, Izzy, and Eugene Varano to his right, Ed Trampke to his left, behind them Delsin Oswald and TJ Bryce. Well Connected, IC4 and the Skylarks took up the rear. IC3 walked with a sense of triumph, a bit of pep in his step as the crowd let them have it.
Gavin Grey: Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome at this time The Owner of Missouri State Wrestling Isaac Cornelius the Third and First Class!
IC3 grabs a mic upon entering the ring after he ordered Gavin Grey to hold the ropes open for First Class to step through. As First Class stood triumphantly in the ring together IC3 taps the mic several times, causing it to echo and screech which made some members in the crowd groan and cringe.
IC3: Do you imbeciles not understand what the definition of what insanity is? It is repeating the same action over and over again expecting different results! Every Unstoppable we come out here, you try to hijack my show when you should be grateful that another two weeks went by where I decided to keep MSW in Missouri instead of packing up the tent and moving to a bigger, more lucrative market. So if you want to be able to hear without a hearing aid by the time you reach 45 I strongly recommend that you zip it!
Tapping the microphone a few times, the crowd was completely drowned out by how obnoxiously loud the sound level was. With a satisfied grin IC3 raised his mic back up to his lips.
IC3: Splendid! The ear plugs still work! I had my sound crew pre-emptively raise my mic volume this time to stay several steps ahead of all of you! Speaking of taking MSW to a bigger market we're almost to that magical time of the year, one of MSW's several yearly supercards... WAR! On April 23 MSW will put on it's biggest card to date, and this time I promise this one won't get canceled!
IC3: I know, the truth hurts! The last time WAR was advertised Danny Stevenson dropped the ball because he spent his whole budget on booze and bingo! Live with class, Danny.
IC3 winks into the camera wearing the widest, most arrogant grin that has ever graced God's green earth.
IC3: As I was sayin-
IC3 taps the microphone several more times, each time louder than the next, until it became a rhythm of agony. A fan so upset that he chucked his drink right into the ring, landing right on Ed Trampke's suit.
IC3: Security, have that man escorted off the premises and detain him until police arrive. You just committed assault and seeing as Mr. Varano is on retainer for First Class you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, I promise you that charges will be filed.
Trampke took off his jacket and slammed it on the ground as he yelled out over the ropes to the fan being escorted out by security. The Skylarks and Well Connected quickly go to hold him back and calm him down.
IC3: Yeah, you people want that? You want to suffer the same fate? Keep it up! This is exactly why you people don't get to watch WAR Live and in person. Not you'd be able to handle it anyway, this event is way too big for Misery, and even if it could I wouldn't want some redneck hick town like Kansas City hosting it anyway. But I'll give Kansas City one small shred of credit, as much as none of you deserve it; it's still better than anything that came out of Incest County, Tennessee, just take our “guests” this evening. Ladies and Gentlemen, Christian Michaels and his brother Javen!
The crowd cheers as the camera shifts to the brothers McMillion momentarily, who while apparently no fans of IC3 appear to be enjoying the hospitality the fans and city have otherwise shown them.
IC3: Settle down. I know they're your kind of people but they are “guests” and they're remain that way. Just like all of you they'll have to watch WAR at home when the landscape is changed forever. You'll have to watch at home when THE Man of MSW, a man that smells as fresh like a mint because he's money, Mr. Thomas Angel successfully defends his MSW Heavyweight Championship against either Chris Williams OR Frankie Cocheese, pending his decision later tonight.
Tommy Angel raises his MSW Championship high into the air before slinging it on his shoulder with a grin and several confident pats on the center plate
IC3: And because I'm in such a giving mood and because I refuse to let any of you ingrates ruin my night I'll be giving Duke Andrews a chance to earn a shot for himself and Barrel against the PURE 15 Champions TJ Bryce, the best PURE 15 Champion in MSW's History if I do say so myself. A lot better than your hero Chris Williams or that illegal Canadian Artemis Kaiser... who was deported I might add!
Delsin Oswald: SHUT UP! YOU'RE NOT WORTHY! NONE OF YOU ARE! BE QUIET WHEN MR. CORNELIUS SPEAKS!
IC3: Tonight is the last stop before I return to my home state of California and take MSW to new heights as part of my expansion initiative and by the end of the night everyone will know who will be competing for our championships. Actually.. let me rephrase that. Tonight is the last stop before WAR and by the end of night we will know who will earn the right to be defeated by First Class at WAR with the gold on the line! Win with class Misery, and we'll see you in a month assuming I don't decide to keep MSW permanently outside of this backwater state!
Smith: Disgusting, absolutely disgusting! This man won't stop threatening these fans.
Bradford: Well this is the only thing they got if you don't count the Chiefs, and who would honestly? Kansas City needs to get some class in a hurry!
Smith: Pride always comes before the fall Bradford. First Class may have been on a roll so far but if IC3 and First Class keep trying to overlook everyone they're going to be 30 pounds lighter after WAR. First Class is flirting with disaster and you can only push people so hard before they snap; and First Class has a laundry list of enemies. Someone is going to capitalize and it's going to be soon, mark my words.
Bradford: You sound like one of those doomsday prophets speculating on a societal collapse or the world ending or something. Mankind has been predicting the end from the beginning and do you know what all of those predictions have in common? They failed! The gold is staying in First Class and you can take that all the way to the bank!
Let the Hardcore Games Begin! Champion: Chris Williams
After First Class finishes speaking the feed cuts backstage to Chris Williams walking through the parkinglot with his bag and the Hardcore Championship draped over his shoulder.
Smith: And Chris Williams has officially entered the building. The fact that he's managed to hold the Hardcore Championship for several days uninterrupted is a new record.
Bradford: Anyone who competes for that belt is nuts if you ask me! Having to defend it 24 hours a day, you might as well hire a security firm just to watch your back!
Smith: Well it's definitely a workhorse belt if you ask me. You always have to be on top of your game. Later tonight we'll find out who Tommy Angel picks as his opponent but for now Chris Williams looks content with the gold he has now.
Bradford: Well he better not get too comfortable because here comes Chris Orton!
The hum of the go-kart can be heard rapidly approaching as Chris Williams turns around just a second too late to see Chris Orton run into him, launching him forward as he dropped his bag and his belt. Chris Orton quickly goes or the cover slapping the mat as a referee sprints out of his car in the parking lot.
2!
3!
New Hardcore Champion: Chris Orton (2)!
Smith: And just like that MSW's first Hardcore Champion just captured it for the second time!
Bradford:Well Chris Orton was set to begin the night in a match against Jay B and now it looks like that a little extra is going to be added! You know what this means right? It becomes a hardcore title match by virtue of the champion competing in a regularly scheduled match! Go Bad Guy, Go! You are bad guy!
Chris Orton gets back on his go-kart and starts shouting as he drives through the building with the Hardcore Championship strapped to the front of the vehicle.
Chris Orton: I AM BAD GUY! I WIN BECAUSE I AM BAD GUY! I AM BAD GUY AND HARDCORE CHAMPION!
Breaking the habit by Linkin Park starts blaring through the arena as Gavin Grey held his mic in hand, watching along with the MSW faithful on the screen.
Jay B vs Chris Orton
Gavin Grey: The following match is scheduled for one fall and it is now for the Hardcore Championship! Driving his way to the ring he is the NEW MSW Hardcore Champion... Chris Orton!
Just right before Chris Orton could drive to gorilla position however Jay B happened to catch notice of the hardcore championship on the cart and thinking on his feet quickly grabs an empty keg of beer and chucks it right at Chris Orton's head, causing the kart to spin out with Orton slumping across the wheel. High squeaks from the horn blares through the backstage area.
Bradford: Come on, bro! That wasn't very nice!
Smith: Well when the Hardcore Title is on the line anything and everything is completely legal!
Bradford: And you say I make excuses? Come on! That is foul play and you know it!
Smith: I didn't hear you complain when Chris Orton his Chris Williams with his go-kart!
Bradford: That was different, Orton is bad guy! Jay B is just a poser, bro!
Jay B quickly flings Orton out of his kart and goes for the pin. Mike Maddix appears to be out of breath as he finally catches up, he slowly drops down to the floor to slap his hand down.
2!
3!
Gavin Grey: Here is your winner and the NEW Hardcore Champion... Jay B!
Jay B starts to fist pump as he takes the belt off the vehicle before having that arm raised in victory by the ref. However his fist pumping doesn't last long as he awkwardly lowers his hand, casually throwing the belt on his shoulder before taking his sunglasses off. Bullshark #6 was there gawking at him once again.
Jay B: Seriously?
Before he could continue IC4 quickly strutted onto the scene and glancing over at Jay B before planting the biggest kiss on her the world has probably ever seen.
Bradford: Bro! That's a flippin shark! What are you doing!?
Smith: She's in a shark costu-
Bradford: SHE'S A FLIPPIN SHARK!
Jay B: What are you doing bro? What are you... she's not even my type bro!
Right before Jay B could take a step forward he felt himself quickly falling backward as Jerry and Jerome, the Skylarks rolled him up from behind in a double pin, each grabbing a fistful of tights as the ref counted.
2!
3!
New Hardcore Champions: The Skylarks (2)
Bradford: YES! Now both Skylarks have to be pinned to lose the title. The Skylark Rule is in effect!
Smith: Skylark Rule?
Bradford: Yeah! Don't you watch the hardcore title stream? They were the first to win the belts off a double pin! You have to pin the champion, or champions in this case to win the belt.
The Skylarks scoop up the belts as they each hold onto one end running off before Jay B has a chance to get up and seek revenge.
The Skylarks: HARD-CORE CHAMPS! HARD-CORE CHAMPS!
Drew Stevenson vs LeBroc Harris
"Kiss it Goodbye" plays through the speakers and LeBroc comes in a casino style leather jacket. The attire represent his city's gambling culture which Las Vegas is well known for. He makes his way down the ramp and slides inside the ring. He then kneels down at the centre and raise his finger upwards, yelling "Believe in the Harris's luck!"
It was time for the match that LeBroc had been waiting for, for a long time. The match to try and figure out who the best technical wrestler was. The bell rang and the two circle around each other giving feelers to see who was going to be the first to go and it was LeBroc.He went right for Drew’s leg attempting a takedown but Drew plants his feet to keep his position and LeBroc tries a few times to take Drew’s leg out but instead Drew turns it into a magistral cradle but only a two before Harris kicks out. Drew rolls through and is able to get behind Harris while he’s getting up locking in the waist lock and impressively deadlifts Harris up and over his head and drops Harris with a German Suplex and holds for another pin but only two. Harris kicks out and rolls over but Drew keeps the lock on and brings Harris over for ANOTHER German, and then another for a trifecta of sorts. The last one was a release and Harris uses the ropes to slowly get up.
Smith: This match is technical wrestler at its best, Bradford! And Drew Stevenson pointed out earlier in the week that this is the match Harris has been wanting to get for the longest time. This match is to see which one of these two can call themselves the best technical wrestler! And the suplexes are flying tonight! These men were doing this before “Suplex City” was popular!
Bradford: It’s hard for me to pick when it comes down to pure technical ability. Between the people? Obviously LeBroc Harris is the better person, but when it comes down to just real and raw technical ability, these two are showing what that’s about. Now if Drew Stevenson wasn’t such an idiot, maybe he could be enjoying this match IN the arena instead of wrestling outside in fifty degree weather with a nasty little breeze.
Smith: Well it’s a technical wrestling schooling tonight. When you want to know how it’s done, this is the type of wrestling classic that you watch. This match will go down in the MSW record books!
Bradford: Not sure if I’d go that far, Smith. Good match? Sure. Record worthy? Never. Not as long as Drew Stevenson’s name is attached to it. That’s Fake-plex City personified!
LeBroc caught Drew off guard with a couple of kicks to his legs, but that was until Drew caught Harris’ kick and turned it into a dragon screw but Drew held onto Harris’ leg and lifted up his other leg, looking for the Missouri Cloverleaf (Texas Cloverleaf) early on. But Harris had it scouted and pulled Drew forward, rolling him up tight for a pin but a kickout at 2 forcing Drew to release the hold. Harris got up and was favoring his left knee, the leg that Drew was focusing on the most. Drew is in for the grapple on Harris and whips him to the ropes. Harris comes back and Drew looks for an overhead belly-to-belly but Harris flips through and lands on his feet. The landing was a little rough but Harris swoops in, flips an unsuspecting Drew to his back and hooks Drew’s arms in the chickenwing. Harris floats over with a bridge to apply the pressure on Drew’s shoulder blades with a Lebonator.
Smith: Hold for hold, finisher for finisher! But Harris lands on his feet from that belly to belly and has the Lebonator locked in on Drew Stevenson! His arms are occupied and he’s too far from the ropes! Drew is going to have to say he quits unless he can find a way to counter this move!
Bradford: Look Smith, this Lemoneater is nothing spectacular. I could get out of that hold ten times over already! Drew Stevenson is a has-been and a never will be! Best technical wrestler? Psh. That’s definitely arguable. LeBroc Harris has had his number left and right and now that big baby Stevenson is about to tap out!
Smith: I wouldn’t be so sure about that one, Bradford. It looks like Drew is starting to find a counter out of his move! If Drew can get out he still has a chance to take this! Only the best of wrestlers have ever been able to get out of this move and it looks like Drew is about to put himself on that list! Leverage is on his side!
Bradford: This match is boring. Where’s Wolf Parker when you need him?
Smith: You need to get your eyes checked. And I’d say Wolf is a little occupied with Matt Ward later tonight! He doesn’t need to be worrying about Drew.
Drew shows struggle but he gets to his knees and then up on his feet while his face is on the mat and shoulders are still locked. That is until Drew starts to use the leverage and rolls Harris over. The chickenwing is still in but Harris is on his shoulders. Harris is on his gut, Drew is on top of him and uses Harris’ body and as a mat to roll on and now the hold has been reversed. Drew has himself and Harris on their feet with the double chickenwing and Drew suplexes Harris over his head with a nasty Dragon Suplex landing Harris on his neck. He rolls through and sits in the corner in a daze. Drew approaches him but Harris pulls Drew in hitting his face on the pads. Harris swoops behind Drew with a German Suplex pin but only two. Both men going back and forth, technical hold for hold, Harris holding his own and looks like he may even have it with Drew in the middle of the ring, the Brockenstein (Yes Lock) locked on Drew. It almost looks like he’s going to tap but that’s when Drew shifts the momentum and rolls Harris over. The ref slides in for a pin and counts one, Harris releases it to kick out and that’s when Drew runs down to Harris’ legs locks in the Missouri Cloverleaf (Texas Cloverleaf) and turns Harris over. He tries to fight it but once it’s locked in full, center of the ring and pressure on, Harris has nowhere to go and is forced to tap out.
Smith: Harris tapped! Missouri Cloverleaf after a series of counters and Drew Stevenson picks up the win! Very impressive showing by Harris but Drew Stevenson is on a mission after Wolf Parker and getting his rank back within MSW as a competitor and it was just too much for Harris tonight! I tell you what, folks. I look forward to Harris-Stevenson 2 in the future!
Winner: Drew Stevenson
BoNzO The Clown vs Nikki Venom
The sharp guitar chords of “Kickstart My Heart” by Motley Crue reverberate across the arena. The lights darken and spotlights switch to a variety of different colours to the beat of the song. The electric guitar, bass, and drums all make their presence known within the song. As the vocals come in, the curtain opens up and Nikki steps out too a mass of boos. A smirk across his face, he raises his arms above his head and crosses his fingers into an 'x'. He walks down to the ring, a cocky swagger in his step; he stops short of the pads outside the ring and jumps in place for a second, before sprinting towards the ring and sliding in. He stands up, and walks to the nearest corner, quickly ascending it. He then lifts his arms in the air, throwing the same taunt he used before. He gets down and sits in the corner, awaiting his opponent.
Gavin Grey: The following match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Detroit, Michigan, weighing 259lbs... Nikki Venom!
Smith: Welcome back! Nikki Venom came up just short last Unstoppable against Logan Brock and on the last show before WAR he'll be looking to right the ship while sending a message to Silas Romero. BoNzO meanwhile came off a rather... unorthodox victory in a non-traditional match with The Parakeet and he'll be looking to use this match as a launching pad for Fun Times Inc. in MSW.
Bradford: Well he better think twice about this one. Nikki Venom doesn't appear to be in the best of moods as of late and you can bet that with his eyes focused on Silas Romero he's going to treat this as a rehearsal for the real deal. Watch out!
With a solitary spotlight burning down on the center of the ring, we see Ringmaster Larry Lestrange in his red suit, black pants and black top hat. Holding a microphone that hangs from the ceiling, Larry's enchanting voice sounds out, getting the crowd ready for the greatest show on Earth.
Larry Lestrange: LADIES & GENTLEMEN... BOYS & GIRLS... CHILDREN OF ALL AGES! ON BEHALF OF FUN TIMES, INCORPORATED I, RINGMASTER LARRY LESTRANGE OFFER TO YOU! THE SOLE SURVIVING MEMBER OF THE WORLD RENOWNED CLOWN CLAN, FROM CLOWNSVILLE... BoNzO... THE CLOWN!
With a drumroll going off in the background a horn to the tune of TA DA goes off as BoNzO rolls down the ramp in a shopping cart all the way to the ring! The cart appears to have a bunch of fireworks strapped to it, propelling BoNzO faster and faster down the ramp before colliding with the ring itself! The crowd laughs as BoNzO is flung forward outside of the cart and barely into the ring itself after nearly clearing the distance.
The laughs quickly turn to booes however as Nikki Venom shamelessly pounces on the clown, stomping and kicking and punching in a controlled frenzy as Mike Maddix having no choice but to ring the bell.
Venom quickly yanks BoNzO up to his feet and connects with a short-arm lariat, sending the clown tumbling in the air before crashing onto the mat. Larry Lestrange shouts in horror as he slams the ring apron several times.
Larry Lestrange: THIS ISN'T FAIR! BoNzO WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT! NIKKI VENOM IS A BULLY!
Smith: I don't say this very often, but I have no choice but to agree with Larry here. He was involved in an accident thanks to an ill advised stunt, looking to try and please all the fans here in attendance tonight and Venom decides to take full advantage of it instead of letting the medical staff and the official check on him to see if he's still able to compete.
Bradford: Well consider it a success because BoNzO sure brought a smile to my face with that flaming disaster! HAHAHAHA! This guy is a human crash test dummy, it's great!
Venom slaps his hand against the clown nose, imitating a horn noise several times as the crowd is very vocal with their displeasure. With a sick grin Venom stares as Larry Lestrange as he scoops BoNzO up, holding him tightly as the clown tries to squirm away before dropping him on the mat with Yin's Song (Reverse DDT a'la Sting). The referee drops down as Nikki Venom goes to make the pin. 1, 2, 3!
Gavin Grey: Here is your winner... NIKKI VENOM!
Bradford: Now that's how you make a statement!
Smith: I wouldn't call it the fairest or the best way to do so but well, I guess the results speak for themselves. Disgusting nonetheless.
Nikki Venom: This is only a taste for the hell that's coming for you Silas! This man's blood is on your hands! You drove me to this! You would rather use your fists than your words so... I had to give you a lesson of those that get hurt in the process! And I'm going to make you pay for your sins, your self indulgence and ego run amok. At WAR, the cleansing begins!
Wolf Parker vs Matt Ward
Just as Matt Ward was sliding into the ring he didn’t even get all the way in before Wolf Parker pounced on him like a vicious animal not wanting to let up. The bell sounds and referee Derek Lay pulled Wolf Parker off of Ward to give a breather. Ward is slowly moving using the corner to get to his feet. As soon as he is, Parker rushes past the ref and charges Ward before he even knows what’s going on. Ward is caught with a forearm to the neck/side of the head and Wolf just keeps the punishment coming with constant blows. The ref is in the picture and is giving Wolf the five count. At 4, Wolf backs out. Ward is bringing himself together and when he looks at Wolf, he’s given two middle fingers with a sick smile.
Smith: This is just a vicious assault by “The Radical” Wolf Parker here tonight, Bradford. Ward came looking for a fight but he never expected the fight that he was going to get out of Wolf here tonight! No prisoners and the Windy City Nightmare may have his work cut out for him here tonight!
Bradford: I’ve known Ward for a long time. But the only time Ward was ever on top of his game was back in LEGACY as part of WASTE. His motivations were at their highest and when LEGACY went under, he brought that kind of attitude back here to Missouri but as always, our talent just continues to get tougher and tougher. Ward is in over his head and should probably stop before he suffers another concussion and becomes even dumber than he is already.
Smith: Seems a little drastic to call him dumb, Bradford. Ward just hasn’t had much luck lately, losing to the Evil Shades, The Shades of Destruction, Logan Brock and Tracy Race, whom we still have not heard anything from since his injury, but everybody has their down periods and Ward is in his right now.
Bradford: You’re wrong, Smith. Dead wrong. Not EVERYBODY has their down times. Tommy Angel has never had a ‘down time.’ That’s why he’s our champion, Smith, and Ward is no-where near it and Wolf Parker is reminding him of that, loud and clear! And he’s not done!
Ward looks to get a wind and charges after Wolf but is projected up and over with a huge Back Body Drop. Ward is getting up and is caught with a vicious jumping enziguri with a loud >SMACK!< as it echos out from Ward’s head. Ward is just dazed, wobbling in place. So Wolf kicks Ward in the gut and cut throats calling for something mean. Wolf lifts the big Ward to his shoulders and charges to a corner, tossing Ward into the corner with a vicious buckle bomb. Ward collapses and Wolf methodically approaches him. Wolf brings Ward to his feet again and throws Ward into the corner AGAIN with ANOTHER Buckle Bomb. Ward collapses again but Wolf is still not finished.
Smith: TWO buckle bombs to Matt Ward by the vicious and unforgiving Wolf Parker but he still doesn’t look finished with Matt Ward! I’m not too sure what more Wolf can do to Matt Ward to clearly send his message to Drew Stevenson!
Bradford: It doesn’t matter how much more he can do, Smith! The message is pretty loud and clear that Drew Stevenson isn’t going to stand a chance once the two finally lock up. Wolf is the most dangerous man in Missouri State Wrestling, hell, probably ALL of wrestling and Drew Stevenson made an enemy out of him. The message is sent and the rest is strictly for his own pleasure of hurting people, Smith! Ward asked for this by being lazy!
Smith: I’d hardly call Matt Ward being lazy. He was jumped from the very beginning and hasn’t even had a chance to collect himself. It’s just a vicious assault that I’m surprised the official is letting continue, especially after those two buckle bombs! This just goes to show you folks watching all over, do not try this at home because you never know just how dangerous it might be. And Wolf is bringing Matt Ward back to his feet again! What could he have planned here now?!
Bradford: Destruction, Smith! He and BURAI are much alike. No emotion, just destruction for the betterment of themselves because that’s what it’s always about, in case you haven’t figured that out yet, Smith. The only people that are truly successful are the ones that focus on themselves and only themselves. Tonight Duke Andrews will be learning that lesson just like Matt Ward has been learning the lesson tonight. When you face somebody like Wolf Parker, or BURAI or TJ Bryce or Tommy Angel, you approach them with RESPECT or else they’ll end you without a second thought.
Bringing Ward to his feet one more time, Wolf yells out at Matt Ward who has no idea where he’s at. Wolf yells “YOU’RE DEAD, MATTY!” Matt Ward is lifted to Wolf’s shoulders with a fireman’s carry and Wolf brings Ward’s head down near Wolf’s waist and hooks the head with his arm and just drops Ward on his head/neck with the Air Raid Crash he calls the Primal Instincts. Ward just lays there, no movement what-so-ever. Wolf sits up not pinning, just smiling but due to the lack of movement, referee Derek Lay checks on Ward and the result isn’t good. The bell is rung, and Wolf Parker wins by Knockout.
Winner: Wolf Parker
Smith: Well Wolf Parker has picked up the win tonight iin a very strong showing. Matt Ward never stood a chance from the beginning and we’ll keep you all updated on his medical condition as our professionals attend to him. But the night is still young because up next we have Mark Storm seeking retribution from his loss to Chris Williams two weeks--
Bradford: Shut your mouth, Smith! Wolf has something to say! I mean, you can keep talking but he’ll probably just treat you like Matt Ward. He’ll smash you up into little pieces and then I can get a new broadcast partner! Oh! Maybe Mark Robertson will join me!
Smith: Point taken; now why don’t you follow your own advice?
Both commentators got quiet as Wolf Parker had his sinister smile with a microphone in the middle of the ring. He laughs into it as he leans on the ropes looking towards the stage camera.
Wolf Parker: Oh Steeeveeennnsoon. Steeevvveeeennssoon. Where are you Drew? Too afraid to show your face? Oh wait, that’s right, you can’t. You can’t step foot in this arena without being within three hundred feet of IC3 and sending yourself to jail. That’s because you put yourself in this situation, Drew. You put yourself in this situation JUST like Matt Ward put himself in this situation. And you did it because you’re a COWARD, Drew. You’re a coward and you’re PATHETIC! You’re all talk. You’ve always been all talk. You’re just some parking lot idiot with no class just like your worthless uncle! Come on, Drew! Where are you! All that talk, but do you have the balls to do anything?!
Smith: HOLD ON! HOLY CRAP BRADFORD! THAT’S DREW STEVENSON! DREW STEVENSON IS IN THE ARENA! HE’S JUST JUMPED THE BARRICADE AND IS STANDING BEHIND WOLF PARKER!
Bradford: Oh come on! How the hell did security let this son of a bitch in the arena?! We need security out here now!
Wolf turned around at the rowdiness of the crowd and was instantly tackled down by Drew Stevenson who was throwing fists at Wolf who was laughing the whole time. Wolf flips it around to get some strikes in of his own but Drew rolls it back over to keep the strikes going until security is in the ring and pulling Drew away forcefully and dragging him out of the ring. Drew is struggling wanting to get back at Wolf, but Wolf stares on, his lip busted open and he smiles and we cut to commercial.
Let the Hardcore Games Begin! Champion: The Skylarks
As the action cut back backstage following Wolf Parker's victory over Matt Ward the Skylarks appear to be running for their lives as they sprint down the hallway. Several seconds later Pornstar Ron can be seen giving pursuit in a blinged out golf cart with a tie-dye paintjob with the inscription “Ron-Mobile Classic” etched onto the hood.
Smith: Pornstar Ron is trying to regain the Hardcore Championship. He finished the previous Unstoppable but hasn't gotten close to the gold since.
Bradford: He's terrorizing The Skylarks is what he's doing! Isn't he supposed to filming an adult film or something?
Smith: Well he already might have. He has a voluptuous lady friend with him wearing the smallest referee uniform I've ever seen.
Bradford: Well at least Ron has good taste, I'll give him that.
The Skylarks duck around the corner and quickly duck into the Janitor's closet as Ron turns and keeps on driving. The Skylarks step out and begin to walk back with Jerry holding onto the Hardcore title. Suddenly the sound of a toilet flushing is heard as Chris Alans, The Brick Wall himself steps out of the bathroom. The Skylarks are rather nonchalant about this as they keep walking until a referee steps out of the bathroom as well. Suddenly The Skylarks panic but they're tragically within arm's reach and The Brick Wall quickly slams them into the wall, causing them to comically slump to the ground. As the Skylarks are prone Chris Alans hits what would only be described as a running BANZAI drop as he lands ass first onto the Skylarks who are unable to kick out no matter how hard they tried.

New Hardcore Champion: Chris Alans
Bradford: Right place, right time for Chris Alans! He finally won a match, he finally won a title! The streak has ended!
Smith: Rumor has it that Chris Alans hasn't won a match since 2005 and if this is true would have ended what was a historic drought.
Bradford: Well there wouldn't be a drought if he didn't eat and drink everything in sight in the first place. Look at that beer gut!
Alans, breathing a bit heavily picks up the Hardcore title and he clutches it against his sweaty chest. He slowly gets up as the referee raises his arm when suddenly a honking could be heard.
Smith: That sound could only mean one thing, BoNzO the Clown!
Bradford: Doctor Vic cleared him! He's going to be ok!
As Alans slowly turns around he gets met by a blast of water to the face from BoNzO's flower. BoNzO laughs as he pulls out his horn and honks it right in his face, a burst of mist or gas coming out of it was Alans suddenly falls to the floor like a giant redwood, the referee quickly hopping up off the ground in reaction. BoNzO quickly goes for the cover.

New Hardcore Champion: BoNzO (2)
Smith: And that has to be the shortest title reign in MSW history. The unofficial count by my stopwatch lists the reign at 14 seconds.
Bradford: Well I have the feeling this is the beginning of a new drought.
The referee goes to hand BoNzO the belt but spooked, BoNzO honks the horn in his face as well, causing the referee to drop down for a nap. BoNzO covers his mouth with his hand out of shock before scooping the Hardcore Title up and running off down the hallway.
Silas Has Some Words
"The Nigerian Nightmare" Ndamukong Asomugha vs Mark Storm
The bell rang and Asomugha stood across from Storm. Storm was giving up some inches and one hundred and forty pounds and he to totally rethink his typical strategy. Well, Storm went charging in jumping at Asomugha with a big forearm but Asomugha stood still and laughed at Storm. Another big elbow and the same result, nothing. Asomugha grabs Storm by the head and effortlessly tosses him halfway across the ring. Storm lands tough on his back but is quick to his feet and he looks at Asomugha who just calls for him to bring it. Storm rushes at Asomugha again but this time slides between his legs, rushes up the corner and jumps off with a big dropkick but it only staggers Asomugha. So Storm hits the ropes and with a full head of steam he hits a big dropkick on Asomugha again and he once again is only staggered. Storm wants to change that so he gets another running start and Asomugha is looking to stop another dropkick so this is when Storm goes to the knee and brings Asomugha down to his knee.
Bradford: Okay now, Smith, since you know everything… how the hell do you pronounce this guys name? I can’t be a fan if I can’t even pronounce the big guys name!
Smith: Well I’m sure you’re not the only one with that question. It’s pronounced In-Dahm-oo-Kong Ah-Sum-Wah. And as we look at these two there’s such a major size difference between these two that Mark Storm is at the obvious disadvantage and it is showing! That huge toss early on really looked to shake Mark Storm up but it hasn’t kept him down yet and now he’s got Asomugha down to a knee!
Bradford: Storm is an idiot if he thinks that just getting this guy down to his knees is going to give him the advantage! This man is a monster and monsters destroy, Smith! Storm was partially right when he talked about this being a squash! The best part is IC3 hasn’t even had anything to do with it! Storm is squashing himself! Go Nightmare, Go!
Smith: That’s not really a fair assumption, Bradford! We’ve seen quite a few “giant killers” in our business over the years, men that were a lot smaller than Mark Storm taking on just as big if not bigger opponents than Ndamukong Asomugha!
Bradford: Yeah, but this is Mark Storm! He’s the Marty Jannetty out of his team with James Peterson!
Smith: Last I knew you weren’t a fan of of James Peterson.
Bradford: You have no proof! LIES AND SLANDER! Don’t make me talk to Mister Varano, Smith!
Smith: Go right ahead, I’m not the one that said it.
Bradford: Fine, I will!
Smith: I’m not stopping you.
Bradford: Well I have a job to do to keep you in check, so I’ll go talk to him later! But I’m going to do it!
With Asomugha on his knees and slightly staggered, Storm comes rushing up with a Step-Up Enziguri, one of his trademarks and knocks Asomugha and covers. It’s only a one count with a powerful kick out just tossing Storm off of him. Asomugha was making Storm look like a cruiserweight and it was insane. Asomugha was slowly getting up and Storm was right on the attack again with a flurry of kicks but his kick was caught and Asomugha was to his feet. He stared down at Storm and lifted him up with a Gorilla Press and started to actually do lifts with Storm in the air before tossing him but Storm lands on his feet. He comes face to face with Asomugha, showing no fear before slapping him right in the face.
Bradford: I told you, Smith! Storm is in over his head with this one! Nothing he can do, absolutely nothing in his arsenal is going to be able to take this man down. Kicks are ineffective and he’s already worked over the dropkick and let’s face it, Mark Storm is too weak to pick up a man one hundred and forty pounds heavier than himself without throwing his back out or some crap, Asomugha has this in the bag!
Smith: Did you just hear that smack?! The crowd sure did and just listen to their reaction! Despite the… colorful choice of wording on my partner’s behalf, I have to agree that things are definitely not looking bright for Mark Storm so far in this match tonight. From that toss earlier in the night to the powerful kick out at just one, to that effortless Gorilla Press and Mark Storm may have just angered the beast even more with that slap to the face! I’m not sure if this is the most wise decision on Mark Storm’s part. But if he’s trying to make a point that he’s not going to be “squashed” as he put it, I’d say he’s plenty well made his point!
Bradford: Made his point? Storm just signed his death warrant! Kill Asomugha kill!
Smith: Based on that look on his face he just might, Bradford! This isn’t not looking good for Mark Storm! And back to the kicks he goes! This is about the only offense he can get in with hpes of leveling the playing field with these kicks and elbows but they’re not showing much effect!
Storm was brave but it wasn’t wise. Asomugha starts to step forward and Storm tries to stop him with a series to kicks and they do look to be slowing him down, but not enough. Storm chops Asomugha, and then Asomugha chops back and knocks Storm off his feet. Storm staggers back to his feet like the wind had been knocked clean out of him. Asomugha scoops Storm to his shoulder looking to end it with the POW, but Storm slips out and actually gets a quick roll up on Asomugha but only two with a forceful kick out.
Smith: Storm narrowly escaped the POW from Asomugha but there just wasn’t enough behind that pinfall and Asomugha is still in this! Storm better figure out something quick if he wants to walk out of this tonight!
Storm isn’t sure what he can do but it’s no matter. By the time he realizes that Asomugha is standing there it’s too late. Storm is caught off guard with the scoop to the shoulder and a loud >THUD<, Asomugha connects with the POW (a piledriver similar to a tombstone from the shoulder). Asomugha puts his big body on top of Storm for a pin and the three count hits and it’s over.
Smith: And there it is, folks! The Prisoner of War Piledriver! Mark Storm isn’t getting up from that one and Asomugha has just picked up a very successful victory in his debut on the go-home event before WAR! Will Asomugha be at WAR is a big question! Time will tell!
Bradford: I told you Storm wasn’t very smart! He just got squashed… quite literally, by the massive Asomugha! And that piledriver is a thing of beauty! They’re going to have to peel Storm off that canvas!
Winner: Ndamukong Asomugha
Let the Hardcore Games Begin! Champion: Bonzo The Clown
Following Ndamukong Asomugha vs Mark Storm the camera cuts to the backstage area where BoNzO appears to have finally ditched everyone, clutching onto the Hardcore title. He turns the corner to head over to catering when the Bullsharks, all 6 of them are hovering around a plate of lobster. They all stop and pause, looking at BoNzO before swarming and pouncing on him. BoNzO tries to honk out an S.O.S. but quickly gets taken down to the floor as all 6 take turns stomping on him. Bullshark 1 gets on all fours and runs at BoNzO to hit him with a headbutt before Bullshark 5 falls on him for the cover. A referee sprints out from a nearby locker room and goes to count.

New Hardcore Champion: Bullshark 5
The Bullsharks start yelling and throwing up fin taunts with their hands on their heads as they run off. Shortly after however Pornstar Ron in his Ron-Mobile Classic finds the Bullsharks celebrating. Ron steps out with a smirk on his face as he walks over to Bullshark 6, oiling up his chest trying to seduce her with his manly charm and good looks but Bullshark 4 catches onto this and gives him a swift kick to the nuts, dropping him as tears were nearly flowing out from his face.
Bradford: NO! That's Ron's money maker!
Smith: Well it's going to be an awful night for Pornstar Ron. Not only did he fail to regain the hardcore title twice but now he's going to have to hope he can get the... You know I'm not even going to finish that thought.
The Bullsharks run off with the Hardcore Championship in their grasp and they quickly duck into IC3's office.
IC3: What the hell are you doing in here? You don't have an appointment and you're all far from being First Class. You have 5 seconds to get out of my office or I'm firing all 6 of you!
The Bullsharks quickly duck out as MSW cuts to commercial.
