FCW Presents

(Monarch slides out of the ring and grabs a microphone. He then reenters the ring and uses his boot to unceremoniously dump Tragedy’s limp body out of the ring.)

 

Monarch: Hey, Scion, I’m sure you were watching that backstage. I’m sure you were hoping to see your little buddy take out the big, bad wolf for you. Well so much for that little plan. Now I see you’ve got a shot at the TV Title tonight and, no offense to Josh, a little part of me will be pulling for you. Why? Well you’re not all bad so it’d be nice for you to have one last little title run before your career is over. You wanted me to pick the stipulations for our match at Civil War and I have. Of course it will be no disqualification. Of course it will be no count out. And of course it will be falls count anywhere. But to make things really interesting...to see if you really have the balls to back up your mouth...it’s also going to be loser leaves town. That’s right, little man, come Civil War it’s either gonna be you or me...

Kevin Cole: Well, in any case, we’ve still got plenty more action here tonight. Up next, Shawn Michaels takes on Bad Dreams!

 

Nik Cain: Michaels has actually managed, by hook or by crook, to be undefeated since making his return. Like much of the roster, Bad Dreams is anything but a Shawn Michaels fan so here’s hoping he can end that little winning streak here tonight.

THE JOY OF PEPSI!!!

 

(From the back come Trista, Shawn Michaels, and Alex DiGiacomo. Trista looks like a whore and Shawn is in street clothes.)

 

Shawn: You know, I’ve come to a conclusion; I’m not going to wrestle Bad Warrior here tonight.

 

(Bad Dreams on the other side of the ring throws up his arms in a “c’mon” motion.)

 

Shawn Michaels: I’m sorry Nightmare Dreams. But, I’m just far above you. It’s not me; it’s you. You see I’ve wrestled this past 2 weeks to show Crawford and these FCW fans, that I’m still The Showstoppa. Guess, what? I am. I have nothing to gain by winning this match. What title would I win? What new corporate campaign would I gain? Nothing, so I’m sorry Warrior Express, this mat…

 

(Suddenly what appears to be fan leaps over the guardrail and slugs Michaels in the mouth.)

 

Kevin Cole: Some fan just attacked Shawn Michaels! No wait! It’s Deacon King!

 

(King, dressed in street clothes throws off the hat he was wearing to make it perfectly clear who he is. He rams Shawn Michaels’ face into the ring apron, then whips him into the guardrail, then rolls him into the ring where Bad Dreams anxiously awaits.)

 

Kevin Cole: And the bell has rung. Regardless of what Shawn Michaels wants, this match will take place!

Kevin Cole: Sylvia Myers just yanked Scion’s foot out from under him and Robert Loggia has called for the bell! And, in near-record time, this match is over as a result of a disqualification!

 

 

(As the bell rings Joshua Moon slides out to the floor, leaving an irate Scion in the ring. Moon is laughing at him as he grabs Sylvia Myers and starts to leave. Scion shouts at him and obviously manages to strike a nerve with something he said. Moon stops laughing, like someone flicked a switch in him, and starts throwing a flurry of rude gestures in Scion’s direction as he backs his way up the ramp.)

 

 

Nik Cain: Somehow I get the funny feeling that Monarch’s wish for Scion to win the title here tonight was somewhat disingenuous. I guarantee that he and Moon had this planned as a way of annoying Scion.

 

Kevin Cole: I certainly would not put it past them. In any case, we’ve got another title match later as The Crusaders defend the Tag Title against Damien Escar and Derrick Moore! But first, Jay Reno takes on Hazard!

(From seemingly out of nowhere, Jay Reno enters the ring and drills Brad Steel in the side of the head with a seated dropkick. He then leaps onto Steel and hits him with a flurry of punches. Darian Blaze stands up, not sure what to do. The camera pans to the ramp way to show Oblivion and The Messenger slowly coming down to the ring. Once they get to the ring, they walk right past Blaze. Oblivion crouches in the corner as both The Messenger and Reno go to work on Steel.)

 

 

Kevin Cole: Oblivion, Jay Reno, and The Messenger have interrupted this match and gone after Brad Steel!

 

Nik Cain: Man, does anyone like Steel? 

 

 

(The camera is focused on Steel when Chris Zion comes flying into the shot. He’s used the top rope as a springboard and collided with The Messenger. Alister Bane is next to hit the ring, making a b-line for Oblivion, who remains seated in the corner. Blaze seizes this opportunity to go back to work on Steel. Bane reaches Oblivion, who gets up just in time to start trading shots. Bane gets the upper hand and gorilla presses Oblivion up, only to get dropkicked in the knee by Jay Reno, causing him to drop Oblivion, who slides out of the ring.)

 

 

Kevin Cole: Total chaos has erupted in the ring!

 

Nik Cain: But this is a no disqualification match and, as far as I can tell, is still going on.

 

 

(By this time, Nimrod has gotten to the ring and has started to work over Darian Blaze. The Messenger has Chris Zion trapped in the corner and is pummeling him with forearm smashes. Bane picks up Reno and nails him with the Five Aces. Steel goes over and makes it a two-on-one against Blaze.

 

Just then, Scion comes rushing to the ring. He hits Nimrod from behind and the 389-pound masked man turns around and stares daggers through the former World Champion. Scion starts to back up but then decides to just throw caution to the wind and lunges at Nimrod. At this point, the referee starts frantically motioning for the bell to be rung, having decided to throw this match out.)

 

 

Kevin Cole: Jeff Davis is finally calling for the bell!

 

Nik Cain: He really didn’t have any other choice. I guess this one will go down as a no-contest.

 

 

(The camera pans up to the top of the ramp way as we can see Hazard standing there, cracking his knuckles and grinning. The camera then cuts to Oblivion, who still stands outside the ring. From across the arena, the two generals stare each other down as their respective forces wage battle in the ring.

 

Security comes rushing by Hazard, though one guard stays with him in an attempt to keep him from getting involved. As the rest of the guards get to ringside, another watches Oblivion and the rest enter the ring, desperately trying to break up the brawl. Neither Hazard nor Oblivion make any motions to enter the fray, but both lay out their respective guard out of principle, Hazard with a big clothesline, and Oblivion with a spin kick. The ring itself is now a mass of bodies, arms and legs flailing in all directions.)

 

 

Kevin Cole: Security is trying to regain order in the ring but we are desperately out of time! Be sure to tune in next week! Until then, this is Kevin Cole for Nik Cain saying goodnight!

 

 

(The camera cuts back to the ring where the brawl still rages on. On this scene, the screen fades to black.)
