[FWF]

STRACHON: Welcome to Live-Wire. Sam Strachon and Ernest Bethea here.

BETHEA: We are hot off of Collision: Lost Heroes versus Next Generation. How’s your head doing, Sam.

STRACHON: Don’t even start.

BETHEA: It served you right for getting involved.

STRACHON: I hate King of Kings. I really do.

BETHEA: And judging from the Pedigree he gave you, he hates you too. Speaking of King, he will be the special guest on the Dragon’s Dungeon in a few minutes time.

STRACHON: Let’s talk about our main event.

BETHEA: This is going to be one you don’t wanna miss.

STRACHON: If you watched Collision, then you would’ve seen the great match between Dan Taylor’s team and Matt Knox’s team.

BETHEA: In a twist of fate that shocked the world, Dan Taylor, who had been the sole survivor in the Collision matches for the previous two years, was the first man eliminated.

STRACHON: And the only on his team.

BETHEA: This left the remaining four members of team Lost Heroes struggling for leadership, which led to a bit of an uneven ground between Pain and the Predator.

STRACHON: So tonight in our main event, it will be one half of the Lost Heroes, The Predator, taking on the World Heavyweight Champion, Pain.

Suddenly, the lights go off. Then, a dark, red light surrounds the arena as “All My Life” by Foo Fighters blares over the P.A system. After a moment, Dan Taylor enters the arena to a huge ovation, attired in his black, leather jacket and red, tinted glasses. He begins to walk down the ramp, but comes to a halt halfway. He drops to his knees as a range of fireworks explode from the titantron. They finish and Dan stands. He strolls up the black, metal ring steps and ascends the turnbuckle from the outside. He raises his arms as a “DDT” chant begins. He then drops down to the canvas where he is handed a microphone.

DRAGON: Welcome to the Dragon’s Dungeon!

BETHEA: Listen to this crowd, Sam.

DRAGON: What an exhausting couple of months it’s been. Especially last week in Las, Vegas. It was me and my team of Pain, X-ecutioner, Don Lepore and my tag partner, Predator... against Matt Knox’s team of Jackson, James Jefferson, Ryan Spiva and Eric Stuart.

STRACHON: And what a great match it was.

DRAGON: I don’t about you, but I sure as hell didn’t expect to get eliminated. I mean... Collision has always been my night. Collision: FWF verses UCW... I led my team to victory, being the sole survivor. Collision: FWF verses wWo... I led my team to victory, being the sole survivor. This year was different. It was Collision: Lost Heroes versus Next Generation. I didn’t lead my team, but they sure were victorious.

BETHEA: Got that right.

DRAGON: I knew I picked the right people. I’m glad too... since my return, I am four and zero... undefeated. But win or lose, I’m just happy it’s all over.

BETHEA: It’s been one hell of a ride.

STRACHON: This whole old school/nu skool feud started three months ago at Jealousy. I think we’ve seen the end of it.

DRAGON: So let’s get on with the show. My guest tonight made a great return to Live-Wire a few weeks ago. Please welcome ...the King of Kings!

STRACHON: Boo! Booooooo!

BETHEA: Give it a rest.

“King of Kings” by Motorhead plays. With the crowd cheering, King of Kings enters the arena. He begins to walk down the ramp, slapping the hands of the fans that offer them. He then gets into the ring where he is handed a microphone by a member of the ring crew. He and Dan shake hands.

DRAGON: Welcome to the Dungeon, King.

KING: Great to be here, mate.

DRAGON: Now... you talk about your Lost Heroes and your Next Generation, but you claim to be somewhere in between. You think that you’re a wrestler of this generation.

KING: Dan... I’ve been here for well over a year now. I’m one half of the longest reigning FWF US tag team champions. I’m a former Iron Man champion. I think I’ve paid my dues for long enough.

STRACHON: I disagree. Pay more.

DRAGON: I’m on your side. You’ve paid your dues... and you stuck it to Sam Strachon last week, which is always a blast.

STRACHON: I used to like that guy.

DRAGON: I think you deserve more than you’re getting. Say... a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship?

KING: It’s my time. All I ask for is a shot. If I lose, I go back and I train harder.

DRAGON: A couple of weeks ago on Live-Wire, you made it clear what you wanted. Pain burst onto the scene and hit you from behind with his ego. How do you feel about that?

KING: I wanted a shot at the title. Pain knew that. I had respect for Pain. If we had a match, then it would’ve been based on respect. But he made it personal.

DRAGON: Hey, I’ve hated Pain before hating Pain was cool. I know what he can be like. I also know what it’s like to face him. We’ve both beaten each other on many occasions.

BETHEA: That’s right. I can’t forget their classic match in AHW for the AHW championship.

STRACHON: They’ve battled in FWF, AHW and EWF.

DRAGON: As much as I don’t like the guy and I don’t like to admit this... but Pain is one of the best wrestlers in world today. Do you think that you’re good enough to beat him?

STRACHON: I don’t.

KING: There’s only one way to find out.

DRAGON: That sounds like a challenge. This is the Dragon’s Dungeon. I want you to look into that camera there and say the magic words.

KING: Pain. You told me a few weeks ago after you hit my from behind that I would never get a shot at your title. But what does that do for your reputation? It’s not good, I can tell you that. It makes you a coward. In a few weeks time, it’s FWF Bloodthirst. It’s currently without a main event, but I think of a match that would fit perfectly. King of Kings versus Pain... for the World Heavyweight Championship. I want an answer, Pain... and I want it tonight!

BETHEA: The challenge has been made?

STRACHON: I can’t believe he went ahead with it.

BETHEA: Will King get his shot? Pain will make a decision tonight.

All of a sudden, “Blood and Fire” by Type O Negative plays. KOK and DDT look confused as they stare at the titantron. After a moment, Sah’ta Thor walks out on stage with a microphone in hand.

THOR: I hate to break up this little party. But what about my shot? I think I deserve a shot at the World Heavyweight Title.

DRAGON: Hold up there, skipper. What's that around your waist? It looks like the FWF United States Tag Team championship. You should be happy with what you have. Besides... what makes you think you deserve a shot at the world title?

THOR: Well, if you look at who the number one contender is...

BETHEA: Ouch.

THOR: Tonight, I am going to destroy King of Kings... then we'll see who the true contender is.

DRAGON: Oh really? Well it seems as though the two of you have a match tonight. And while I'm here... I think I'm going to make myself special guest referee!

STRACHON: What? Can he do that?

BETHEA: He just has, Sam. And these fans love it.

Thor takes off his tag belt and runs down the ramp. He gets into the ring and he and KOK begin to exchange blows. KOK goes for a right hand, but Thorn ducks. Thor then hits KOK with a dropkick to the knee. He bounces off the ropes and comes back with a Tornado DDT.

BETHEA: Is that the best move to do in front of the DDT kid?

Thor picks KOK up and Irish-whips him, but KOK counters. When Thor comes back, King lifts him up and slams him to the mat with a spinebuster. Thor slowly gets up. KOK Irish-whips him. He goes for a clothesline, but Thor ducks. Thor goes for the handspring back elbow, but KOK moves out of the way and Thor hits Dan.

STRACHON: He hit Dan, Bethea?

BETHEA: That's something he's going to regret.

STRACHON: Especially seeing as that Dragon can breathe fire... apparently.

KOK grabs Thor, but Thor pokes KOK in the eye. Thor then connects with a roundhouse kick. Dan gets up and as Thor turns around, Dan picks him up into the fireman's carry position. He then nails the Dragon Slam.

BETHEA: The Dragon Slam! The special guest referee just hit the Dragon Slam on Sah'ta Thor.

STRACHON: He can't do this, Bethea. Mark Briggs had better do something.

The crowd begin to cheer loudly as Dan picks Thor up. He hooks his head as if to go for the Impaler DDT. The crowd. KOK gets up. Dan changes his mind and throws Thor into KOK, who hooks Thor's arms. KOK then nails the Pedigree. He covers and Dan counts. ...1 ...2 ...3.

JENKINS: The winner of the match ...”King of Kings” Joe Page!

STRACHON: What... the hell?

BETHEA: Dan Taylor just screwed over Thor... and this crowd are on fire.

DRAGON: Thor... sorry about that. It's nothing personal... It's just that earlier tonight, I talked to Mark Briggs. It appears that at Bloodthirst... it will be the Lost Heroes versus Empire of Blood for the US Tag Team titles!

STRACHON: WHAT?

BETHEA: What an announcement. We're gonna have to take a short break. Don't go anywhere!

[FWF]

STRACHON: Welcome back to Live-Wire.

BETHEA: We still have our great main event to come tonight. You should be watching this on pay-per-view, but you’re getting it live on Stampede TV tonight.

STRACHON: Speaking of pay-per-view, I think now is a good time to talk about our next PPV.

BETHEA: Detroit, Michigan will be the host of this Live-Wire production.

STRACHON: Fantasy Wrestling Federation presents Bloodthirst 2007.

BETHEA: The number one contender to the hardcore championship, Jonny Vegas will take on the current champion Richard Marciano... the title will be on the line.

STRACHON: We’ve received word from the back that James Jefferson will be defending his Cruiserweight championship... we just don’t know the opponent.

BETHEA: We learned earlier tonight that the Lost Heroes of Dan “Dragon” Taylor and The Predator will get their shot at the FWF US Tag Team titles as they face off against Sah’ta Thor and Jason Fall... the Empire of Blood.

STRACHON: But one thing is on everybody’s mind.

BETHEA: Will we get an answer from Pain tonight? Will we see Pain versus King of Kings?

STRACHON: Or will Pain find a better opponent?

BETHEA: That’s not funny.

STRACHON: Who’s laughing?

“Dopeman” by Less Than Jake plays. After a moment, Jonny Vegas makes his way out. He walks down the ramp, patting the fans on their hands. He then gets into the ring with the crowd cheering.

JENKINS: The following match scheduled is for one fall. Introducing first ...from Boston, Massachusetts ...weighing in at 238 pounds ...Jonny Vegas!

A hot pink light surrounds the arena as "Livin' On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi blares over the P.A. system. After a moment, Benny Star jogs out on stage, wearing a pair of pink trunks. He begins to walk down the ramp, talking about himself, ignoring the fans. He jumps up onto the apron. Grabbing onto the top rope, he springboards and lands on the canvas on one knee where he raises his arms. With the crowd booing, the music fades and the lights restore to normal.


JENKINS: And his opponent ...making his FWF debut ...hailing from Hollywood, capital of the world ...“Super” Benny Star!

BETHEA: Recently interviewed by Linda Myles. I’m telling you, his ego is outta control.

STRACHON: He’s seems pretty cool to me, Bethea.

The bell sounds. The two men lock up and Benny quickly lifts Vegas up and drops him with a bodyslam. He flexes his muscles as the crowd boo. Vegas gets up. They grapple again. This time, Benny grabs Vegas in a reverse waistlock position. He then nails a Belly-to-Belly suplex. He then begins to pose.

BETHEA: Talk about bad first impressions. The fans hate him already.

STRACHON: They’re obviously morons. He hasn’t done anything wrong.

BETHEA: He’s flexing, Sam.

STRACHON: If you’ve got it... flaunt it.

Vegas gets up holding his back. They lock up for a third time. Star immediately hooks Jonny’s head and takes him over with a suplex. As Vegas is getting up, Star grabs him in a headlock. Vegas pushes Benny into the ropes. He then comes back with a dropkick.

BETHEA: There we go.

The two get up and Vegas lifts Benny up and hits a dropkick. Benny gets up and runs at Vegas, but Vegas catches him in a reverse waistlock position. He then nails a Belly-to-Belly suplex. Benny gets up again and Vegas hooks his head before executing a vertical suplex.

BETHEA: Benny Star has just received a taste of his own medicine.

STRACHON: You’re just jealous that your body isn’t as good as Benny’s. You’ve gone flabby since you retired.

BETHEA: You love this guy or something.

STRACHON: I’d go gay for Benny Star.

BETHEA: You’re a sick man, Sam.

STRACHON: So I hear.

Vegas waits for Benny to get up. In doing so, he bounces off the ropes. When he comes back, Benny lifts him into the air with a flapjack, but falls back with Jonny landing neck first on the top rope. He stumbles back and Benny grabs him from behind and takes him down with a Russian Legsweep. He goes for the cover. ...1 ...2. Jonny kicks out.

BETHEA: Couldn’t get the pin.

Benny picks Vegas up and Irish-whips him. He then nails a spinebuster. With Vegas on the floor, Benny bounces off the ropes. He then comes back with a fist drop before covering. ...1 ...2. Jonny kicks out again.

BETHEA: Again he couldn’t get the pin.

Benny begins to lift Vegas by the head, but Vegas pushes him off. Vegas hops towards Benny with a clothesline. Benny ducks and the referee get caught by the blow. The referee spins and lands on his knees holding his face. Vegas turns and gets drilled by the Super Strike. Benny goes for the pin. …1 …2 …3.

JENKINS: The winner of the match ...”Super” Benny Starr!

BETHEA: Benny just used the cheap Super Strike to pick up his debut win.

STRACHON: But a win's a win, and we have to take a break.

[FWF]

STRACHON: Welcome back to Live-Wire. You know what time it is.

BETHEA: I think you better tell us.

STRACHON: It is now time... for our MAAAAAAAIN EVENT!

BETHEA: Todd Grisham called, he wants his catchphrase back.

STRACHON: Don’t mention the opposition. I got Linda removed from commentary, I can do it to you.

JENKINS: The following match scheduled is for one fall. Introducing first...

"You Know You're Right" by Nirvana begins to hit the arena's speakers as the packed crowd roar and rise to their feet. With clear confidence in the style of his walk, The Predator proudly makes his way out from behind the curtain. As he makes his way down the aisle, green and gold fireworks go off behind him, forming the shapes of an eagle and a tiger before he pauses and points behind him when, to the amazement of the crowd, a red, white and blue eagle is formed at the top of the ramp by even more fireworks.

JENKINS: From the Eyrie, England ...he is an FWF Hall of Fame member ...one half of the Lost Heroes ...The Predator!

The lights go out and a motorcycle engine guns in the background as the lights then begin to flicker and Welcome to the Jungle begins to play. Smoke bellows from underneath the entrance ramp as Pain slowly makes his way out on his motorcycle. Fireworks explode as Pain guns the engine again and then rides down the ramp. He circles the ring twice, waving his lead pipe. He stops between the entrance ramp and the ring and spins 540 before slowly getting off of his motorcycle and making his way up the ring steps. He climbs into the ring and runs over to the opposite turnbuckle, where he holds out his arms and points to the crowd. He repeats this on the other three turnbuckles. He then does a backflip off the ropes and falls to his knees in the middle of the ring as fireworks go off around him. He then gets up and slowly takes off his sunglasses and leather jacket which he hands to the official.

JENKINS: And his opponent ...from New York City, New York ...weighing in at 210 pounds ...the FWF World Heavyweight Champion ...Pain!

STRACHON: In my opinion, the two best wrestlers in FWF today.

BETHEA: That’s debatable, but they are definitely up there.

The bell sounds. The two men stare down in the middle of the ring. Pain holds out his hand. The crowd boo, not wanting Predator to shake his hand. Predator slaps Pain’s hand away to the crowd’s delight. Pain gets annoyed and slaps Predator in the face.

BETHEA: Predator’s trying not to let it get to him.

Predator smiles and the two circle the ring. They lock up and Predator quickly takes Pain into a standing armbar. Circling under, Predator applies a wristlock. From here, he takes Pain into a hammerlock. Predator steps forward, releasing Pain’s arm, but grabbing him in a headlock.

BETHEA: A great display of ability from one of the best technical wrestlers around.

STRACHON: Don’t let him fool you, Beast. Predator can be known for his great brawling skills.

BETHEA: Much like the champ.

Pain tries to elbow his way out of it. He pushes Predator off into the ropes, who comes back with a shoulder tackle. He bounces off the ropes and Pain gets up. Pain leapfrogs over Predator. He turns around and Predator slaps him in the face.

STRACHON: There’s the revenge shot.

BETHEA: If Predator can keep this up until Bloodthirst, we may have new tag team champions.

With the crowd cheering, Predator grabs hold of Pain’s head. He then nails the Predatordog, driving Pain’s head into the mat. He covers. ...1 ...Pain kicks out. Predator picks Pain up, but Pain pokes him in the eye.

STRACHON: There’s one way to do it.

BETHEA: As talented as you may be, if you can’t see your opponent, then you’re nothing.

Pain quickly takes advantage by bouncing off the ropes. He bounces back with a leg lariat, taking Predator down. Pain gets up and raises his arms as the crowd boo. He then begins to stomp away at Predator.

BETHEA: Pain is really taking it to one of his Collision partners.

STRACHON: You know something, Beast ...these two are the two most decorated wrestlers in FWF.

Pain picks Predator up and hooks his head. He then spins him around and executes a neckbreaker. With Predator down, Pain jumps, springboarding off the middle rope, before moonsaulting back, connecting with the lionsault.

STRACHON: Beautifully executed move by the World Heavyweight Champion.

Pain goes for the cover, hooking Predator’s leg. ...1 ...2. Predator kicks out. Pain picks Predator up. He Irish-whips him, but Predator counters and sends Pain into the corner. Pain stumbles out and Predator lifts him up before dropping him with a sidewalk slam. Predator gets up and begins to wind up his arm.

STRACHON: Wind Attack coming up... the move that Predator beat Bethea with at Nightmare.

BETHEA: Thanks for that.

Pain slowly gets to his feet. Predator charges at him with the Wing Attack, but Pain ducks and Predator hits the referee. Predator turns around and Pain nails the stunner. With Predator dazed, but still on his feet, Pain bounces off the ropes and comes back with a spear.

BETHEA: Referee down!

Pain goes for the cover, but the referee is unable to count. Pain looks around. He then gets out of the ring. He goes towards his motorbike and grabs the lead pipe he left on the seat. He takes it back into the ring. Predator slowly gets to his feet. Pain swings the pipe, hitting Predator in the head.

BETHEA: Oh my God!

STRACHON: What a shot!

BETHEA: This isn’t a hardcore match.

Predator manages to get back to his feet. He sticks his middle finger up at Pain and the crowd cheer. Pain laughs, mockingly. He tosses the pipe to one side. He takes a few steps back. He then goes for THE Superkick, but Predator grabs his foot.

STRACHON: Uh-oh.

Predator swings Pain’s leg around before grabbing him from behind in the Preysnatcher. Pain taps out. However, as the referee is still down, the bell does not sound.

BETHEA: This match should be over.

Predator releases his hold. He picks Pain up and gets him into a wristlock before hooking his head. He is about to hit the Armbreaker-Stunner, but Pain ducks down and low blows Predator. Suddenly, King of Kings runs down the ramp.

BETHEA: It’s King of Kings! He’s here to even up the score!

STRACHON: No! This is no concern of yours, King.

Pain turns around and KOK kicks him in the stomach. He then hooks both of his arms and looks out towards the crowd. A “King of Kings” chant starts as KOK nails the Pedigree. He then slides out of the ring.

BETHEA: Pedigree!

The referee gains consciousness. After a while, he gets up. Predator and Pain slowly try to get to their feet. Predator quickly grabs Pain from behind in the Preysnatcher. He takes him down to the mat and wraps his legs around Pain, applying more pressure to the move. The referee lifts Pain's arm. He lets it drop to the ground. He lifts it again and lets it drop. For the third time, he lifts Pain's arm and it hits the canvas. The bell sounds.

JENKINS: The winner of the match ...The Predator!

STRACHON: Pain lost! And it’s all because of King of Kings.

BETHEA: Look on the bright side.

STRACHON: Predator won! Yay.

Predator gets to his feet and Pain grabs his lead pipe. Predator turns around and Pain hits Predator in the head with the pipe. Predator manages to stay on his feet. Pain then nails THE Superkick, knocking Predator out.

BETHEA: Come on! The match is over.

King of Kings gets in the ring and Pain nails him with the pipe too. KOK drops to one knee. This allows Pain to connect with the Enziguri. Pain tosses the pipe to one side and picks up his belt.

STRACHON: Yeah! Get him, Pain!

Kneeling over KOK, Pain begins to repeatedly hit him in the head with the title. KOK is busted open. The blood runs down his face and Pain stops. He grabs a microphone and stands.

BETHEA: This is beyond ridiculous.

PAIN: You want your answer? Well here it goes.

STRACHON: Are we gonna get the match?

PAIN: You said that I’m a coward. You think that I’m scared of you? Well look at you now. You’re covered in your own blood.

BETHEA: Thanks to you.

PAIN: Which is fitting ...because at Bloodthirst ...it will be me, Pain... versus King of Kings ...for the World Heavyweight Championship!

STRACHON: Oh my God!

BETHEA: Huge news right there. I can’t believe it.

PAIN: First Blood!

BETHEA: What?

STRACHON: A First Blood Match at Bloodthird. I can’t wait.

BETHEA: What an announcement!

Suddenly, Dan Taylor begins to run down the ramp. He gets into the ring and picks up Pain’s lead pipe. Pain smiles and gets out of the ring before Dan has a chance to use it. He walks up the ramp as Dan attends to the two men in the ring.

BETHEA: Thank God he came to the save before Pain could do anything else.

STRACHON: That’s what tag team partners are for, Bethea. You should know... didn’t you team with Pain in the Real Deal?

BETHEA: Don’t remind me. Well, that’s all we have time for tonight.

STRACHON: We will see you right here next week for more Live-Wire. Goodnight!
