31st August 2006

[FWF]

The scene opens up to the hallways. Pain and Maureen are walking down, heading towards the locker rooms. Suddenly Maureen stops Pain, grabbing him by the shoulder and turns him around.

MAUREEN: Pain, you don't need to do this tonight. Shiv hasn't done anything and now you to are going to go and destroy each other over nothing.

PAIN: Look Maureen.

Maureen stops him by giving him a hard push, catching Pain off guard. He looks at her.

MAUREEN: No you look! When will you two stop trying to out macho each other? Get it through your thick skull. Stop attacking every person who looks at you wrong.

PAIN: Maureen, I promise this will be the last time I do anything like that.

MAUREEN: That’s what you said after Camisado.

PAIN: This time I mean it, okay?

Pain turns away and walks toward the locker room before Maureen can say another word. She looks on with worry on her face, shaking her head as the scene cuts to the arena.

STRACHON: Welcome to Live-Wire! I’m Sam Strachon.

BETHEA: And I’m Ernest Bethea, what a show we have tonight.

STRACHON: After weeks of having Camisado attacked, the leader of the wWo will face off against him in our main event.

BETHEA: We will have more on the Pain/Shiv scenario when they go one on one tonight.

STRACHON: But first, the hardcore championship is on the line.

"The Takeover" by Jay-Z hits as Chris Hart walks out slowly with a hood over his head receiving boos from the crowd. As he pulls it off gold fireworks start firing out behind him.

JENKINS: This next contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the Weird World Order Hardcore championship. Introducing first ...from New York City ...weighing in at 210 pounds ...”The Future” Chris Hart!

"Move Along" by All American Rejects hits as the lights dim. Suddenly a huge green pyro goes off and the lights turn on. Larry Fields then makes his way to the ring to a mixed reaction.

JENKINS: And his opponent, from Lansing, Michigan ...weighing in at 260lbs ...he is "The King of Xtreme" ...Larry Fields!

“Stricken” by disturbed blares over the P.A. system, as pyro also begins to shoot out of the stage. When the pyro stops James comes out through the curtain, and runs down the ramp and slides into the ring. He then ascends all the turnbuckles and puts his hands in an "X" above his head. He then gets in the middle of the ring ready to wrestle.

JENKINS: And introducing their opponent ...from Salem, New Hampshire ...weighing in at 200lbs ...he is the wWo Hardcore Champion ...James Bohne.

STRACHON: A new guy challenging for a title? I've always hated that; let them prove themselves first. Either that or join the wWo like the Hardcore Champion did. He joined the original wWo and won the Tag Team Championships with Gangsta Mak.

BETHEA: At that time, he was known as Tornado and pretended to be the Masked Avenger, and I held my penultimate Championship in FWF; the currently vacant Ironman Championship.

The bell rings. Straight away James pokes Larry Fields in the eye. He then hits him with a suplex. Chris Hart sneaks up behind and low blows James.

STRACHON: James Bohne is the best in this match. It won't take a low blow to stop him.

BETHEA: Low blows are legal in Hardcore matches.

James Bohne falls to the mat and Hart makes a pin attempt. James kicks out before the referee makes a count. Larry Fields comes in with a chair and nails Bohne while Chris Hart holds him down. Hart is then hit by Fields and Fields goes for the cover on James. ...1 ...2. James kicks out.

STRACHON: Not many people have kicked out from a chair shot.

BETHEA: I have.

STRACHON: Don’t contradict me, Bethea.

BETHEA: We've had this conversation before haven't we?

James is still down. Fields lifts Hart to his feet and mutters something. In response, Hart nods. The two of them then start stamping away at James before Fields nails Bohne with the chair.

STRACHON: That's quite the impressive trick.

BETHEA: Good strategy from the newcomers; take out the biggest threat first.

Eventually, James rolls out of the way to regroup on the outside. Smugly but weakly, he goes to the timekeeper and takes the bell. Fields and Hart charge at James only to take shots to the head with the ring bell. James then grabs a chair and starts to mash them in.

BETHEA: Although he has the wrong allegiance in the wWo, that is one good comeback.

STRACHON: Wow, his opponents look like they've been attacked by a tornado. Ha. I'm funny.

James throws Hart back into the ring and continues to bash Fields with the chair. As soon as Fields begins to draw blood, James goes back to the ring only to be taken down by Hart. Hart then locks in a Sharpshooter. James refuses to tap but he does manage to reach for a chair, using it to break himself free of the Sharpshooter.

BETHEA: Oh my God!

STRACHON: Why didn't you think of that when you were against Dan Taylor in your last match?

James gets to hit feet and waits in the corner. As Chris Hart gets up, James runs toward him and nails a Spear. As this is happening, Larry Fields gets back in the ring and levels James with a chair. Larry starts to stomp on Hart while nailing Bohne with the chair.

BETHEA: This Larry Fields is pretty good for a newbie.

STRACHON: Ten points to Captain Obvious, he's called the King of Xtreme, he knows what he's doing out there.

BETHEA: Do you just get a buzz over everyone in the industry? I bet you have a shrine for everyone, including yourself.

Larry picks Hart up. He then Irish-whips him and Hart holds on to the ropes. Larry runs at Hart, but Hart ducks, pulling the top rope down with him, forcing Larry to the outside. Hart turns around and James hits him with the JKO out of nowhere. He covers. ...1 ...2 ...3.

JENKINS: The winner of the match and still wWo Hardcore champion ...James Bohne.

Hart and Larry leave. James raises his title as the crowd boo. He then rolls out of the ring and heads backstage.

BETHEA: James keeps on rolling.

STRACHON: Of course he does, he’s the best on Live-Wire.

BETHEA: I wouldn’t be so sure about that.

STRACHON: Tag team action coming up next.

“Salvation” by Chimaira plays. DraVen makes his way out. He walks down the ramp and climbs into the ring. “Holiday” by Greenday plays and Kid Kaos enters the arena. He walks down the ramp and climbs into the ring, joining DraVen.

JENKINS: The following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first... The team of DraVen ...and Kid Kaos!

'O Fortuna' hits, and blue and purple lights start to illuminate the arena. Smoke slowly rises from the stage. Slowly, Daniels comes out, a grimace on his face. "The Enygma" Eric Wiles right behind him, never more than a few feet back. After a few seconds, Daniels slowly makes his way down to the ring, the scowl never leaving. Wiles stays close, his gaze darting back and forth throughout the crowd, an expression of hate, fear, and pity for the fans of the arena. As Daniels gets to the ring, he takes a slow lap around it, before rolling in. He scans the crowd, showing his contempt, before he finally fixes his gaze on his opponents. Wiles circles the ring, hating or loving what is about to come. Daniels slowly lifts his right arm, and Wiles slides between his legs, and poses, an evil grin across his face.

JENKINS: And their opponents... the team of Eric Wiles and Matt Daniels ...Novo Fas!

The bell sounds. Eric starts off with DraVen. DraVen runs at Eric with a clothesline, but Eric ducks. DraVen turns around and Eric hits DraVen with a clothesline of his own. Eric tags in Daniels. Matt comes in and quickly covers DraVen. ...1. DraVen kicks out.

BETHEA: That’s a great way to do things, by staying on your opponent.

STRACHON: They’re not gonna let him breathe.

Matt picks DraVen up and hooks his head. He then connects with a DDT. He covers DraVen. ...1 ...2. DraVen kicks out. Matt picks DraVen up, but DraVen pokes him in the eye. Matt stumbles back into his corner, allowing Eric to tag himself in. DraVen tags in Kid Kaos.

STRACHON: Here comes Kaos.

Kaos foes for a clothesline on Eric, but Wiles ducks, grabbing hold of Kaos as he goes. Eric then nails an STO, taking Kaos down. He covers. ...1 ...2. Kaos kicks out. Wiles picks Kaos up and places him on the turnbuckle. He begins to climb with him, but Kaos resists. DraVen runs in the ring, but Daniels gets in too. Matt kicks DraVen and sends him into the corner.

BETHEA: All four men are in the ring.

STRACHON: This referee needs to get them under control.

Eric then charges at DraVen with a stinger splash as Matt positions Kaos on the top. Matt gets back to his corner as DraVen rolls out of the ring. Eric then climbs the turnbuckle with Kaos and locks in the Passive Resistance, leaning back so both men are in the tree of woe. Daniels gets in the ring.

BETHEA: Looks like they’re going for that Renavatio.

STRACHON: And DraVen is on the outside.

Daniels then runs towards the corner, hitting a spear on the upside down Kid Kaos. Wiles releases his grip as Kaos drops to the mat. Daniels covers, hooking Kaos’ legs. ...1 ...2 ...3.

JENKINS: Here are your winners ...Novo Fas!

STRACHON: Continue to stay undefeated, Beast.

BETHEA: I see big things in their future.

The scene cuts backstage where Pain sits in the locker room, with a red, white and blue gear bag at his side, lacing his boots. Shiv walks into the room and looks at Pain, before sitting down next to him.

PAIN: What do you want?

SHIV: I talked to Maureen.

PAIN: She got to you too?

SHIV: Yeah... She's right you know?

PAIN: I know, but I'm still gonna tear you a new one in the ring.

SHIV: Your funeral.

Pain laughs as he gets up. He opens one of the lockers and grabs his bag. He then forces the bag into the locker, shutting the door after.

PAIN: So what do we do after this?

SHIV: I don't know, but I think we've got bigger fish to fry.

PAIN: Fish the name of wWo.

Shiv laughs and after shaking Pain's hand, exits the locker room. Pain finishes lacing up and follows as the scene fades out to a commercial.

[FWF]

STRACHON: Welcome back to Live-Wire.

"Till I Collapse" blares over the sound system as boos fill the arena. Rage walks through the curtain gripping a towel; he confidently strides down the entrance ramp. He jumps up and down and breathes deep, before rolling into the ring and popping to his feet.

JENKINS:Introducing first ...from Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 220lbs ...he is a member of the wWo ...Rage! And his opponent......

"Remedy" by Seether hits as Shawn Fuller goes out onto the stage. As he gets half way down the ramp, fireworks go off behind him. He cheerily enters the ring.

JENKINS: ...from Duram, North Carolina, weighing in at 264lbs, he is Shawn Fuller.

BETHEA: It's pretty clear that the crowd prefer Shawn Fuller.

STRACHON: Well, yeah. He's not in the amazing wWo.

The bell rings and both men tie up. Rage pokes Fuller in the eye making him go groggy. With this, Rage sends Fuller to the floor with a Double Arm Cross Leg Sweep and locks in a Cross Leg STF. Fuller clearly refuses to tap at this early stage.

STRACHON: That's the way to do it.

BETHEA: Do what? Go for a submission really early and thinking that it will end the match, but it actually drains your own energy.

STRACHON: No, weakening your foe early.

BETHEA: How many matches have you wrestled?

Shawn Fuller finally manages to make it to the rope. Rage keeps the hold on as the referee begins to scold him. 1..2..3..4.. Rage lets go and starts to argue with the referee. With this advantage in mind, Shawn Fuller sends Rage down with a bulldog and applies an STF of his own.

STRACHON: Come on, that's just wrong. Stealing your opponents move.

BETHEA: What's wrong with that? It's a Japanese fighting style called Akido;

STRACHON: Icky-what?!!

BETHEA: Akido; the art of using your opponents strengths against them.

From an angle that the referee cannot see, Rage pinches Shawn Fuller in the chest making him relinquish the hold. Rage scrambles away and goes for a Shining Wizard, only to be caught by Shawn Fuller. He then nails Rage with a Dominator.

STRACHON: Ah come on! Why didn't the Shining Wizard hit?

BETHEA: Simply put; a pinch couldn't hurt anyone too badly in a wrestling match. This is wrestling, not sissy fights you had as a child.

He goes for the cover. ...1 ...2 ...Rage kicks out. Shawn picks Rage up. He then hooks his head and executes the Shawn Of Fate. He covers. ...1 ...2 ...3.

JENKINS: The winner of the match ...Shawn Fuller!

Shawn raises his arms as the crowd cheer. The scene switches to the hallway to show Pain walking down. He feels a hand on his shoulder. He turns around and the camera zooms out to reveal Maureen stood in front of him.

PAIN: Maureen, I have a match to get to.

MAUREEN: Don't do this Pain.

PAIN: Maureen don't worry. Shiv and I had a long talk. We're just gonna have this match and then move on. Okay?

MAUREEN: Okay.

PAIN: Good now you just wait in the back. After the match the three of us will celebrate.

MAUREEN: Hey I'm a big girl I can handle myself at ringside.

PAIN: I'd really rather you'd stay back here.

Maureen looks indignant.

PAIN: Please?

MAUREEN: Fine.

Pain makes his way out to the ring. Maureen looks around when suddenly she hears a loud banging sound. A shadow appears on the wall behind her.

MAUREEN: He... hello?

“The Prisoner” by Iron Maiden plays as Pain enters the arena. He walks down the ramp and climbs into the ring.

JENKINS: The following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first from New York City ...weighing in at 210 pounds ...Pain!

“Reptile” by Nine Inch nails plays. Shiv walks out on stage. He then walks down the ramp and steps through the ropes.

JENKINS: And his opponent, from Tenino, Washington ...weighing in at 250 pounds ...Shiv!

The bell sounds. Both men lock up and Shiv overpowers Pain, throwing him down to the mat. Pain gets up and Shiv hits him with an atomic drop. As Pain staggers, Shiv hits a dropkick, knocking Pain out of the ring.

BETHEA: Out at ringside!

STRACHON: Your former partner.

BETHEA: I know that. I was merely commentating on the match, like you’re supposed to be doing.

Shiv follows Pain to the outside. ...1 ...2. Pain then hits a clothesline. ...3 ...4. Shiv gets up and Pain hooks his head. ...5 ...6. Pain then hits a neckbreaker. Both men get to their feet. Pain goes for a clothesline, but Shiv ducks. ...7 ...8. Shiv then hits a bulldog. ...9 ...10.

JENKINS: Both men have been counted out, therefore this match is a draw.

Both men get up. They look at each other and shake hands. They then both walk to the back.

STRACHON: Well, that was a disappointment.

BETHEA: Tell me about it.

STRACHON: I just did. They could have easily done more.

BETHEA: How do you know? Have you ever been in a match here?

STRACHON: No, but it looks fairly easy.

BETHEA: Keep it up, keep it up, you're gonna find out how hard this business is when your jaw gets wired shut!

STRACHON: Well... erm... time for a break.

[FWF]

BETHEA: Welcome back!

“King Of Kings” by Motorhead plays and King Of Kings walks out. He goes down the ramp and gets in the ring as the crowd cheer.

JENKINS: The following contest is scheduled for 1 fall! Introducing first ...from Derby, England ...weighing 260 pounds ...”the King Of Kings” Joe Page!

“Couch Potato” by Weird Al plays and Couch Potato rolls down to the ring in a lazy-boy.

JENKINS: And the opponent ...representing the Weird World Order ...from Boston, Massachusetts ...weighing 180 pounds ...Couch Potato!

BETHEA: This should be an interesting matchup.

STRACHON: Which Couch Potato shall win! WWO are the face of Livewire, Bethea! They’re our premier faction! WWO are the future!

BETHEA: If that’s the case, the future looks rather bleak.

The bell rings. KOK and Couch lock up. KOK applies a headlock, but is whipped off the ropes, and Couch hits a clothesline. He drops an elbow and makes the cover. 1...2... KOK kicks out.

BETHEA: Far too early to be thinking about a pin there!

Couch picks KOK up and whips him into the turnbuckle. He charges at KOK, who moves and sends Couch into the turnbuckle. KOK rolls Couch up. 1...2... Couch kicks out. KOK picks him up and delivers a DDT. 1...2... Couch kicks out.

BETHEA: He nearly put Couch Potato away!

STRACHON: Please. Couch Potato was in no danger whatsoever, Bethea.

KOK picks Couch up, but is kneed in the gut. Couch then nails a neckbreaker.

STRACHON: Excellent strategy is what it is!

Couch goes for the cover. 1...2... KOK kicks out. Couch picks KOK up and delivers a neckbreaker. He legdrops KOK and makes the cover. 1...2... KOK kicks out.

STRACHON: Almost a win for Couch Potato there!

Couch picks KOK up, whips him off the ropes and delivers a back body drop. He drops an elbow and puts on the Boston Crab. KOK frantically grasps for the ropes, but to no avail.

BETHEA: Couch Potato could make the King Of Kings tap out here!

KOK inches closer to the ropes, and grasps out for the bottom rope. He eventually grabs it, and the referee forces Couch Potato to break the hold. Couch picks KOK up and whips him off the ropes. He goes for a back body drop, but KOK stops and kicks him in the face. KOK then nails a clothesline, and both men fall to the floor as the referee starts to count them down.

BETHEA: This could be a double knockout!

STRACHON: Come on, Couch! You can do it! Get up!

BETHEA: The referee’s reached 4, and neither man seems to be moving!

...5. Both men are seen moving. ...6. They both get to their feet. Couch goes for a clothesline on KOK, but KOK ducks. KOK then kicks Couch and hooks both his arms. He then nails the Pedigree. He covers. ...1 ...2 ...3.

JENKINS: The winner of the match ...King of Kings.

Couch rolls to the outside, holding his head. He then gets on his lazy boy and slowly drives to the back. KOK celebrates for a moment before making his way backstage.

STRACHON: Guess what time it is.

BETHEA: I know what time it is, I don’t need to guess.

STRACHON: Just do it!

BETHEA: Is it time for our ...main event?

STRACHON: No, it’s time for our MAIN EVENT!

"The New Transmission" by Lost Prophets hits the P.A. System. Orange spotlights aimlessly search the arena, soon making their way to the wall opposite the entrance. They go up the wall and form letters, spelling out "The New Cancer". After the main guitar riff at the beginning ends, Camisado jumps out from behind the entrance as seventeen orange pyros shoot off from behind him. During the first verse, Camisado jogs down the entrance ramp, though only moving an inch or so with each step, moving along with the beat. As he walks down, more orange pyros on each side of the ramp shoot off, simultaneous with his steps. He then circles the ring, more pyros still following him.

BETHEA: Here comes Camisado!

As the main chorus comes on, he makes his way around to the front of the ring, closest to the ramp. He slides into the ring and begins running back and forth, bouncing off the ropes. During the rest of the song, he pulls himself up to two opposite turnbuckles and grins out towards the crowd, mouthing "The New Cancer" on his way back to the ring floor.

JENKINS: The following match scheduled is for one fall. Introducing first ...Now residing in Dayton, Ohio ...he is the New Cancer ...Camisado!

“Open Their Eyes” by Alter Bridge plays. Jack enters the arena as the crowd erupt into loud boos. He then runs down the ramp at full speed and slides into the ring. He ascends the turnbuckle and raises his arms to a booing crowd.

JENKINS: And his opponent ...from London, England ...weighing in at 213 pounds ...Jack Thunder!

Jack gets down and the bell sounds. Jack begins talking to the referee as Camisado waits. Without finishing his sentence, Jack quickly turns around, hitting a clothesline on the unexpected Camisado. He quickly goes for the cover, but doesn’t get a one count.

BETHEA: That was a cheap shot.

STRACHON: The bell had sounded. Camisado should pay attention.

Jack picks Camisado up. He then snapmares him back down, with Camisado sitting up. Jack then bounces off the ropes and dropkicks Camisado in his face. He covers. …1. Camisado kicks out. Jack picks him up. He then sends him off into the ropes. Camisado comes back with a tilt-a-whirl head-scissors. Both me quickly get up.

BETHEA: That turned things around.

Camisado hooks Jack’s arms from behind and takes him down into a backslide pin. …1 …2. Jack rolls out. He gets up and goes for a clothesline, but Camisado ducks. Camisado then hits a reverse STO, knocking Jack down. Camisado applies an STF.

STRACHON: The STF locked in by Camisado. Come on, Jack, get to the ropes.

BETHEA: That puts a lot of strain on your leg and neck.

Jack reaches around rapidly. He drags himself over to the ropes and grabs the bottom one. Camisado releases and Jack rolls to the outside. As Jack is resting, Camisado bounces off the ropes and dives to the outside with a plancha. …1 …2. Both men get up. …3 …4. Camisado grabs Jack and Irish-whips him into the guard rail.

BETHEA: Crashing straight into that railing.

STRACHON: These men need to get back to the ring.

…5 …6. Camisado then runs at Jack, connecting with a leg lariat, taking both over into the crowd. …7 …8. Camisado slowly gets up and crawls back over the guard rail. He gets up, using the apron. …9. He then rolls into the ring to break up the count, and then back out.

STRACHON: That was stupid, he could have won.

BETHEA: Cam obviously wants to prove that he can win the match properly.

Camisado walks over to the guard rail, but from the other side, Jack hits him with a superkick. Jack steps over the rail as Camisado is getting up. Jack then lifts him up and drops him with an atomic drop. Jack then rolls Camisado into the ring and climbs up onto the apron.

BETHEA: This has been an amazing match so far.

Jack ascends the turnbuckle from the outside as Camisado is getting up. Camisado turns around and Jack leaps off with a high cross body, into a pin. …1 …2. Camisado kicks out. Jack gets up and squats down in the corner. He waits for Camisado to get up.

STRACHON: Looks like he’s going for the Charge, Beast.

Camisado gets up and turns around. Jack dives at him with the Charge, but Camisado moves and Jack hits the ring post. He gets out of the corner. Camisado lifts him up Jack up onto the turnbuckle and climbs up himself. Camisado tries to lift him up into a fireman’s carry, but Jack comes back with shots to his head.

BETHEA: Come on, ref, get this under control!

Jack then pushes Camisado, who comes crashing down to the mat. Jack stands up, getting into the right position on the top rope. He then leaps off, hitting the Shocker. He covers Camisado, hooking his legs. …1 …2 …3.

JENKINS: Here is your winner ...Jack Thunder!

STRACHON: YES!

BETHEA: Camisado took a nasty fall fro...

STRACHON: ...Stop making excuses, Beast... Jack won fair and square.

BETHEA: I didn’t say he didn’t.

STRACHON: Well, that’s all the time we have for you tonight. We’ll see you next week, right here on Live-Wire.
