13th August 2007

[FWF]

”Numb” by Linkin Park plays, signalling the start of the show. Couch Potato and Phantom stand in the ring awaiting their match.

LEGEND: Welcome to Monday Night Rampage. As always I am Johnny Legend.

BRIGGS: And I’m TB, Tom Briggs.

LEGEND: Tom, talk about your main events... we’ve got an unbeatable one tonight.

BRIGGS: Absolutely... the UK champion, James Bohne will face off against Oswald Brodd in non-title action.

LEGEND: This, just days away from the two of them being involved in huge match-ups respectively at Nightmare.

BRIGGS: Well, if you look in the ring you will see two men awaiting their match to begin.

LEGEND: Over to Phil Charles for the announcement.

CHARLES: The following is a loser leaves FWF match scheduled for one fall. To my left... Couch Potato!

BRIGGS: Couch has been on quite a roll as of late, with victories over former world heavyweight champions, Don Lepore and X-ecutioner.

LEGEND: Now an MNR Warrior... but for how long?

CHARLES: And his opponent to my right ...The Phantom!

The bell sounds. Phantom and Couch circle. They both lock up, but Couch quickly takes Phantom down. He immediately tries to lock in the Oven Baked, but Phantom crawls out of the ring. He reaches under the apron and pulls out a steel chair. Couch leans out of the ring to grab him, but Phantom swings the chair, hitting Couch in the head.

LEGEND: Aw, come on.

CHARLES: The winner of the match via disqualification ...Couch Potato!

BRIGGS: He’s crazy I tellsya.

LEGEND: Phantom just got himself disqualified.

BRIGGS: You know what that means.

Suddenly, “Numb” by Linkin Park plays. Wearing a pair of black pants and a black vest with the MNR logo on it, “Commissioner” Joe Stall walks out onto the stage with a microphone in his hand. He walks down the ramp, speaking.

STALL: Phantom. Did you think I’d just let what happened last week slide? If so, you were wrong. Phantom... You’re fired!

LEGEND: Phantom is out of the job!

Joe climbs into the ring as Couch Potato makes his way backstage. Phantom looks at him. He then swings the chair at Joe, but Joe ducks. Stall then hits a big boot, kicking the chair into Phantom’s face.

LEGEND: Joe Stall is seven feet tall, TB. Is it wise to pick a fight with him?

BRIGGS: Absolutely not. Especially when he’s your boss.

Joe picks Phantom up and grabs his arm. With the crowd chanting, Joe wraps Phantom’s arm around his neck, locking in the Cobra Clutch. Phantom struggles for a while. After a minute, a burst of fire explodes around the ring. Ring crew immediately put out the fire with their extinguishers to show Joe Stall in the ring alone.

LEGEND: What the hell just happened?

BRIGGS: I think Phantom just... vanished.

LEGEND: Shades of what happened last week. Where the hell has Phantom gone?

BRIGGS: I don’t think we’ll be seeing him anymore.

Joe looks confused. He gets out of the ring and walks backstage. “Lonely Train” by Black Stone Cherry plays. Thunder steps out on to the stage, he taps his shoulder three times and points to the sky, as he does fireworks go off all around the arena. As Thunder walks down the ramp he taps the hands of the fans as he makes his way to the ring. When he gets to the bottom of the ramp Thunder takes the camera off a cameraman and zooms in on a few fans. Thunder hands the camera back to the cameraman and rolls in the ring. He leaps up on to the ropes and puts his arms in the cross position and jumps down.

CHARLES: The following match scheduled is for one fall. Introducing first ...from Hereford, England ...Thunder!

The sounds of engines revving roar out over the arena as the lights dim and red lights strobe in the entryway. The drums roll and the guitars of "Almost Gone" by Mushroomhead drive on as Brody steps out onto the entryway to thunderous applause and bursts of pyrotechnics. He stops at the top of the ramp and raises his right fist. Brody then runs briskly to the ring, sliding under the bottom rope then popping up to his feet. He spins quickly then climbs the nearest turnbuckle and throws up his fist again. He hops down and awaits the opening bell.

CHARLES: And his opponent from Chicago, Illinois ...weighing in at 245 pounds ...Brody “The Bull” Armstrong!

The bell sounds and straight away, Thunder runs at Brody. However, Brody catches him in a front waist lock position. Brody then executes the belly to belly suplex. Thunder gets up and Brody bounces off the ropes. Coming back, he hits a running knee to Thunder’s head. Thunder rolls out of the ring.

LEGEND: I don’t think Thunder wants any part of The Bull, TB.

Brody gets out of the ring. He grabs hold of Thunder and rolls him back into the ring before climbing in himself. He bounces off the ropes and comes back with a running DDT. He waits for Thunder to get up. In doing so, Brody hooks him from behind and executes the Stampede. He covers. ...1 ...2 ...3.

BRIGGS: Picking up the victory with the Stampede... right here on Stampede TV.

CHARLES: The winner of the match ...Brody “The Bull” Armstrong!

LEGEND: An impressive win by this newcomer.

BRIGGS: Legend?

LEGEND: Yeah?

BRIGGS: Do you know what match is coming up next?

LEGEND: Remind me.

BRIGGS: It’s Katherine Brown versus Jasmine!

LEGEND: It will be... right after these messages.

[FWF]

LEGEND: Welcome back, folks. It’s almost time for our next match, but before we get to it, I’d like to talk about our next PPV.

BRIGGS: It will be live. It will be explosive. And it will be coming to you this Saturday.

LEGEND: After an outbreak last week on Rampage, Oswald Brodd and The Devil will finally meet in our main event.

BRIGGS: Rob Prozac will take a lot more drugs than usual to prepare for his match against James Bohne for the UK title.

LEGEND: And that match will be contested under Taipei Death rules. Details on this will come before the match.

BRIGGS: We will have a Hall of Fame showcase as two members of said Hall of Fame will face off.

LEGEND: That’s right. It will be Predator versus Ernest Bethea in a rematch from Genesis.

BRIGGS: And to top it off, we will be having a triple threat match for the Women’s championship.

LEGEND: But not just any triple threat match... this match will be in a cage.

BRIGGS: And two of those contestants will be facing off against each other... and that match is next.

“Not Every Man Lives” By Jason Aldean begins to play. After a moment, Katherine Brown makes her way into the arena, holding the women’s title above her head. The crowd begin to cheer as she walks down the ramp and gets into the ring.

CHARLES: The following match scheduled is for one fall. Introducing first ...from Sedila, Missouri ...she is the FWF Women’s champion ...Katherine Brown!

The arena goes dark. As “Black #1” begins softly there is an eerie red glow at the top of the ramp. A silhouette appears in the glow as a shower of glitter falls. Jasmine steps out with a sinister smile curved on her lips as she stops and glances at the crowd from one side of the room to the other before she struts down the ramp to the ring, her hips swaying in perfect time to the music.

CHARLES: And her opponent ...from Columbus, Ohio ...weighing in at 124 pounds ...Jasmine!

The bell sounds and the two women go to lock up, however Jasmine kicks Brown in the gut. She then Irish-whips her into the corner at great force. Brown stumbles out and Jasmine picks her up before dropping her with a sidewalk slam, going straight into the cover. ...1 ...Katherine kicks out.

LEGEND: Beautifully executed move by the number one contender.

BRIGGS: One of, Legend.

LEGEND: Absolutely right. You can’t forget Astryd Thorn’s part in all this.

Jasmine picks Brown up and raises her into the Final Descent position. She is about to hit the move, but Brown lands on her feet. Jasmine turns around, only to be hit with a dropkick. Jasmine gets up, but Katherine connects with another dropkick.

LEGEND: Great dropkicks. She has the belt for a reason.

Jasmine gets up and once again is knocked down by a dropkick. As Jasmine is getting up again, Brown raises her off her feet and slams her to the mat with a bodyslam. She goes for the cover. ...1 ...Jasmine kicks out. Brown picks Jasmine up and throws her into the corner. She then runs at Jasmine with a clothesline, but Jasmine moves out of the way and Katherine runs into the turnbuckle.

BRIGGS: Ouch. Sternum first.

Katherine turns around where she is met with a roundhouse kick by Jasmine. Jasmine pins Brown. ...1 ...2. Brown kicks out. Jasmine picks her up and Irish-whips her. When Brown bounces back, Jasmine executes a spinebuster. Jasmine nails an axe-handle drop into the cover. ...1 ...2. Brown kicks out.

LEGEND: It’ll take more than that to keep Katherine Brown down.

BRIGGS: I wonder if Trent knows that.

LEGEND: You’re a sick man, TB.

Jasmine grabs hold of Katherine by her neck and begins to choke her. The referee counts her. ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4. Jasmine picks Brown up to her feet. She then executes a chokeslam. Jasmine begins to climb to the top rope.

BRIGGS: From the top. What’s she going for?

Jasmine jumps off with a Guillotine Leg Drop, but Brown moves out of the way. Both women are down. ...1 ...2 ...3. They slowly begin to move. ...4 ...5 ...6. Jasmine gets to her feet. She grabs Brown and goes to pick her up, but Brown begins to fight back, hitting a chop to the chest of Jasmine.

LEGEND: A chop by the champ.

Brown then Irish-whips Jasmine. Katherine takes Jasmine down with a Big Boot. Jasmine gets up again, but Katherine bodyslams her. Brown waits Jasmine to get up. In doing so, Katherine hits Jasmine with a huge spear. She covers. ...1 ...2. Jasmine kicks out.

LEGEND: Jasmine managed to kick out.

BRIGGS: What a match this has been so far.

LEGEND: We’re about half way through, TB. There’s still some great matches to come.

Brown picks Jasmine up. She then bounces off the ropes and goes for the Diamond Dust, but Jasmine ducks and Brown runs into the turnbuckle. She stumbles out and Jasmine kicks her in the stomach. Jasmine then raises her into the Final Descent position. She completes the move and covers Katherine. ...1 ...2 ...3.

CHARLES: The winner of the match ...Jasmine!

LEGEND: It’s always nice to defeat a champion.

BRIGGS: This could be the case at Nightmare, Legend.

LEGEND: That’s right. We could be seeing the next women’s champion in that ring.

BRIGGS: She’s not going to get it easily though.

LEGEND: Two other women will be pulling her down, making sure she doesn’t escape the cage and walk out with the belt.

BRIGGS: One of those women will be Katherine Brown and the other... Astryd Thorn.

LEGEND: Speaking of which. Astryd and her brother, Sujir will be in action next as they face off against The Meds. Don’t go anywhere.

[FWF]

LEGEND: Welcome back and you are just in time as we are about to see our next and final draftee.

BRIGGS: Someone from Live-Wire is coming over here... but who could it be?

The scene cuts backstage to a shot of the FWF logo on a black background. The camera pulls out to reveal Linda Myles stood in front of it, holding a microphone.

MYLES: Hello, FWF fans. I’m Linda Myles and today I will introduce MNR’s newest Warrior. So without further ado... I give to you... Ernest “The Beast” Bethea!

LEGEND: Wow! What an announcement.

BRIGGS: The first ever inductee into the FWF Hall of Fame.

Bethea walks onto the set with a smile on his face.

MYLES: Bethea. How does it feel to be on Monday Night Rampage?

BETHEA: You know it feels great. It’s been so long since I have been over on this side of FWF. Of course I will make my MNR PPV debut this Saturday at Nightmare.

MYLES: What are your thoughts on that match?

BETHEA: It’s going to be great. Me and Predator put up one hell of a fight at Genesis and we are going to get to raise the roof one more time. And there are two things that you can do about that. That’s nothing... and like it!
CHARLES: The following contest is a Tag Team match and is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first...

Darkness descends upon the arena as Duality plays. Fog appears as purple lights turn on all down the walk way. Five arrows fly out of the fog and hit the centre of the ring forming an X. Astryd steps down the ramp bow in hand. Seconds later Sujir walks down the ramp sword ready. Together the two get into the ring as the light come back on. Astryd kneels down and grabs the arrow and then stands back as Sujir circles protectively around her. The two stand back to back circling then step to their corner getting rid of their weapons.

CHARLES: ...at a combined weight of 385 pounds ...Sujir and Astryd Thorn... The Twins!

Move by Thousand Foot Krutch hits the PA as The Meds walk out on stage. They look at the crowd then walk down the ramp while pumping up the crowd by slapping hands or flexing for them. They then slide into the ring and they each go to a corner and stand on the middle rope. They look out to the crowd and raise their arms.

CHARLES: And the opponents ...at a combined weight of 449 pounds ...they are the current FWF Tag Team Champions ...Robert Prozac and Bert Ritalin ...The Meds!

LEGEND: This should be an extremely interesting match!

BRIGGS: Interesting just doesn’t cover it, Legend! On one side, you have the Thorn twins... They look like they’re into devil-worship and all kinds of freaky stuff... And on the other side... The Meds. Two people who are the very definition of nutjob!

LEGEND: They may be unorthodox, Briggs, but there’s no denying they get the job done!

The bell rings. Astryd and Prozac retreat to their corners, and Ritalin and Sujir lock up. Sujir overpowers Ritalin and sends him into the corner. He releases the lockup, at the referee’s request. Sujir attempts to punch Ritalin, but he pleads for Sujir to stop. Puzzled, Sujir pulls his fist back, but Ritalin pokes him in the eye, to the roar of the crowd.

BRIGGS: Why did Sujir stop?

LEGEND: Ritalin begging for mercy probably took his mind out of the game, Briggs! It’s not often you see things like that!

Ritalin runs to his corner and tags in Prozac. Ritalin tries to hug Prozac, but is told to stand at the corner. Sujir charges at Prozac, but is back body dropped over the ropes and outside the ring. Prozac then reaches over to Ritalin and hugs him, before dropping outside the ring.

BRIGGS: What the hell? You don’t just hug someone in the middle of a wrestling match!

LEGEND: Normally, I’d agree, Briggs... But, well, this is the Meds. Anything can happen!

Prozac approaches Sujir, but is met with a vicious uppercut. Sujir then throws Prozac into the railings. He then charges at Prozac and hits a running knee to the head, sending his head crashing to the railings once more. Ritalin runs to Prozac’s aid, and Sujir backs off, rolling back into the ring. As Ritalin attends to Prozac, Sujir tags in Astryd.

BRIGGS: Here comes Astryd, but I don’t know if Prozac can make it back into the ring to face her! That was a vicious beating from Sujir Thorn!

The referee begins to count Prozac out. ...1 ...2 ...3. Ritalin attempts to help his partner up. ...4 ...5. Prozac begins to stand. 6... Ritalin hoists Prozac to his feet. ...7 ...8. Prozac reaches the ring. ...9. He rolls in, narrowly avoiding being counted out.

LEGEND: So close there! Prozac just made it in!

BRIGGS: Yeah, but does he have anything left?

Astryd runs at Prozac and dropkicks him while he’s still down on the floor. She then grabs Prozac and locks on a Rear Naked Choke. Prozac flails around in pain, and tries to reach the ropes. Ritalin attempts to come to his partner’s aid, but the referee prevents him from doing so. Behind the referee’s back, Sujir comes in and begins stomping on Prozac.

LEGEND: Robert Prozac is taking an absolute beating here!

BRIGGS: He has a match at Nightmare against James Bohne, but is he going to make it there?

LEGEND: And it’s not just any match, either! It’s a Taipei Death Match for the United Kingdom title!

BRIGGS: United States, Legend!

LEGEND: To hell with Bohne’s renaming of it! It’s always gonna be the UK title to me!

Sujir retreats to his corner as the referee turns back to face the action. Astryd makes the cover on Prozac. ...1 ...2. Ritalin breaks up the cover. Sujir charges at him in anger, but Ritalin takes him down with a clothesline. He then grabs Astryd and throws her to the outside. The referee orders Ritalin out of the ring as the other three lay on the floor.

LEGEND: This could be Prozac’s chance!

BRIGGS: If he doesn’t tag now, this is over!

Prozac crawls slowly to his corner, Ritalin and the fans willing him on. Sujir crawls slowly after him, and reaches for Prozac’s leg. He grabs it, but is too late, as Prozac manages to tag in a fired-up Ritalin to the approval of the crowd. Ritalin kicks Sujir in the face, then bounces off the ropes. He ducks Sujir’s clothesline attempt, and then flips outside, landing on Astryd.

LEGEND: Ritalin went airborne!

BRIGGS: What a crazy bastard!

LEGEND: We’re on live TV, Briggs! Watch your mouth!

As Ritalin and Astryd lay on the outside, Sujir and Prozac get to their feet. Sujir is first to stand, and goes for a High Impact Clothesline on Prozac. Luckily for Prozac, he ducks, and nails the Med Plant as the crowd roar in approval. He covers Sujir. ...1 ...2 ...3.

BRIGGS: They did it, Legend!

LEGEND: The Meds win! The tag team champs are on a huge wave of momentum here!

The bell rings and Move begins playing as Ritalin rolls back into the ring, hugging Prozac in celebration. The two are handed their tag team belts and raise them high in the air.

CHARLES: Here are your winners, The Meds!

BRIGGS: We'll be right back.

[FWF]

LEGEND: Hello and welcome back to Monday Night Rampage.

BRIGGS: It’s now time for a very highly anticipated main event.

LEGEND: This is the last MNR before Nightmare. Two of the biggest matches of that night are both for the UK title and the Heavyweight World title.

BRIGGS: The two feuds between Prozac and James... and Devil and Brodd have somehow intertwined.

LEGEND: Therefore “Commissioner” Joe Stall has issued this next match. Let’s take it to Phil Charles.

Over The Mountain blares over the P.A. system as James comes out through the curtain with loads of blue fireworks exploding from the stage. He raises his fist in the air as a chorus of boos is heard. He makes his way down the ramp as a mix of blue and green pyro goes off with each step he takes. He then slides in the middle of the ring. Once he stands up he raises his fist in the air and aqua colored pyro shoots out from each turnbuckle as the boos from the crowd become deafening.

CHARLES: The following match scheduled is for one fall. Introducing first ...now residing in the Caribbean ...he is the FWF United Kingdom champion ...James Bohne!

LEGEND: The pure arrogance in that man...

CHARLES: And his opponent...

The light fades and The Pursuit of Vikings starts. As Oswald appears on the stage the light comes back on and smoke starts to cover the stage. Oswald holds his axe up high and roars. He then places the axe in its sheath on his back. As he walks towards the ring, he drinks mjöd from an ox horn. He slowly steps into the ring, and takes his coat and helmet off after which he climbs the nearest turnbuckle and drink some more mjöd.

CHARLES: Making his way to the ring ...from Denmark ...Oswald Brodd!

The bell sounds and the two men lock up, but James quickly circles around Brodd, getting him in a waistlock. Brodd begins to hit a range of back elbows, forcing James to break the hold and stumble backwards. Oswald then grabs James in the waistlock position.

BRIGGS: I don’t like James’ chances.

Brodd throws James over behind him with a huge Danish Suplex. He begins to wind up his arm as the crowd start an “Oswald Brodd” chant. James gets to his feet. Brodd bounces off the ropes. He is about to hit the Clothesline from Valhalla, but James avoids it and rolls to the outside.

BRIGGS: James Bohne doesn’t want anything to do with that Viking.

LEGEND: I’m not surprised. You can’t forget their history together.

Brodd gets out of the ring. He grabs hold of James, but James pushes him back into the ring apron, delivering a range of shoulders to Oswald’s midsection. James hooks Brodd’s head. He struggles, but manages to lift Oswald up and fall back with a vertical suplex on the outside of the ring. James raises his arms and the crowd boos.

BRIGGS: And that’s why he’s the UK champion.

LEGEND: Not the tag champion though is he?

BRIGGS: It’s those damn Meds. Curse them and their drugs.

LEGEND: Drugs?

BRIGGS: That’s how they can go on for so long with all that pain that Phenomenal Destruction gave them. Damn junkies.

Whilst on the floor, Brodd reaches under the ring. He then pulls out his double headed axe to a huge ovation from the crowd. James looks scared. He begins to run around the ring with Brodd chasing him. James gets into the ring. Brodd does the same, but James quickly begins to stomp away at Brodd. The referee takes the axe away.

BRIGGS: Brodd... this is not a hardcore match.

LEGEND: And who can forget the rivalry between James and Brodd over the Hardcore title over on Live-Wire? It lead to that mjod match at edition two of Sunday Night ShowDown!.

BRIGGS: See? James either faces druggies or alkies.

James climbs on top of Brodd. He then begins to pound away, delivering right hand shots to Brodd’s head. After he reaches his tenth punch, he stops and gets off Oswald. Brodd gets up and James grabs him, hitting him with a European Uppercut.

LEGEND: He uses our moves, but won’t represent our title?

James Irish-whips Brodd into the corner. As Brodd stumbles out, James runs at him, hooking his head as he does. He uses the turnbuckle for elevation as he spins around, planting Brodd with a tornado DDT. He goes for the cover. ...1 ...2. Brodd kicks out.

LEGEND: The first pin fall of the match wasn’t a successful one.

Brodd gets up. James bounces off the ropes and comers back with a flying elbow. Brodd gets up again and James does the move again. Brodd once again gets to his feet and James bounces off the ropes, hitting a third jumping elbow, knocking Brodd down to the mat. James covers again. ...1 ...2. Brodd kicks out.

LEGEND: James Bohne is unable to keep the number one contender to the heavyweight world title down.

BRIGGS: There’s still time left, Legend.

James picks Brodd up, but Brodd begins to fight back, hitting James with lefts and rights. One hit turns James around, allowing Brodd to grab him from behind and hit a Danish Legsweep. Brodd then covers James. ...1 ...James kicks out.

BRIGGS: Kick out before two. Come on, James.

Brodd begins to wind up his arm as the crowd explode into huge cheers. Suddenly, the Devil comes running down the ramp. James gets up and Brodd bounces off the ropes. He then nails the Clothesline from Valhalla. He goes for the cover. ...1 ...2. Devil gets into the ring and hits Brodd in the back. He then gets out of the ring. The bell sounds.

BRIGGS: No! Come on, referee!

LEGEND: Come on? What do you mean “come on”? They can’t get away with that.

CHARLES: Here is your winner by disqualification ...Oswald Brodd

Brodd gets up and stares at Devil from inside of the ring. James gets up two. He turns Brodd around and goes for a right hand, but Brodd ducks it and bounces off the ropes, hitting the Clothesline from Valhalla. He then picks James up and throws him out of the ring before grabbing a microphone.

Oswald Brodd: Listen to me, Devil. You want to interfere in my matches? Well, that’s fine by me. Look at what has just happened to James.

BRIGGS: It was cheap. The match was over.

Oswald Brodd: I dare you... no, I double dare you... to get in the ring with me right now because the same will happen to you.

Devil has a stern look on his face. He then begins to walk up the ring steps and steps between the ropes. He walks up to Brodd and the two stare down in the middle of the ring. Devil slaps Brodd. Brodd holds his face and begins to smile.

LEGEND: I don’t think he should have done that.

Brodd then hits Devil with a right hand, knocking him down to the mat. Brodd dives on top of Devil, delivering a range of right hands. Devil turns it around, getting on top of Brodd, hitting him in the face.

LEGEND: My God! A brawl has just broken out.

BRIGGS: Come on. Someone get these two under control.

The two men continue to exchange shots to the face. A herd of referees rush down the ramp, getting into the ring to break it off. Some of them grab Brodd and push him back into one corner and the rest do the same to Devil. There is a moment of the men trying to calm down.

BRIGGS: I think we’re safe.

Suddenly, Brodd breaks through the referees and charges at Devil, hitting him with a clothesline in the corner. He continuously stomps awat at Devil to the crowd’s delight until Devil rolls out of the ring. He grabs his belt and begins to walk up the ramp. An “Oswald Brodd” chant starts.

LEGEND: That man right there could be the new Heavyweight World champion.

Brodd gets out of the ring and chases after Devil, tackling him down on the ramp. The two begin to exchange right hands again. The referees get out of the ring and try to hold them back, but to no avail. Devil nails Brodd with a huge right hand to the head as security members rush to the arena, assisting the referees in holding the wrestlers back.

BRIGGS: What an outburst.

LEGEND: What a main event.

BRIGGS: And what an MNR.

LEGEND: I’m afraid that’s all we have time for. We’ll see you at Nightmare! Goodnight!
