[FWF]

STRACHON: Welcome to Live-Wire. I'm Sam Strachon here with Ernest "The Beast" Bethea.

BETHEA: Thanks, Sam. We have an amazing show lined up for tonight. Let's talk about last week.

STRACHON: Let's not.

BETHEA: In an amazing Live-Wire main event, King of Kings finally won the World Heavyweight Championship. Tonight, we have the official crowning.

STRACHON: Pain, on the other hand, will go one on one with the Hardcore champion, Richard Marciano.

BETHEA: Jason Tombs will also be in action as he takes on newcomers Bloodbath and El Vato Loco.

STRACHON: And in our MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN EVENT ...the Lost Heroes will get their hands on the Alliance.

BETHEA: This match came about last week when the Alliance was formed and Matthew Knox turned on good friend, Dan "Dragon" Taylor. The Lost Heroes want some revenge.

STRACHON: But before all that, the greatest thing to happen to Live-Wire this year is about to make his way to the ring.

JENKINS: The following match scheduled is for one fall. Introducing first ...from Hollywood, the capital of the world ...he is the FWF Iron Man champion …“Super” Benny Starr!

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 Starr 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 way to the ring...

During the first verse, Cicatrix slowly 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 blue pyros on each side of the ramp shoot off, simultaneous with his steps. He then circles the ring, more pyros still following him. 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 various lines to the crowd's approval on his way back to the ring floor.

JENKINS: …from Louisville, Kentucky ...weighing in at 207 pounds …Cicatrix!

They circle one another then Benny goes to lock up, but Cicatrix ducks under the grapple and gets behind Star then dropkicks him in the back of the knee which causes Star to hit his knees. Cicatrix hops back to his feet then dropkicks Star in the back of the head causing him to fall forward.

BETHEA: Two dropkicks and Starr is down.

Cicatrix runs and bounces off the ropes and comes back jumping up high looking for a leg drop, but Star rolls out of the way and Cicatrix finds nothing but floor. He gets up quick just in time to see Star running at him, Star attempts a clothesline, but Cicatrix grabs his arm and takes him over with an armdrag. They both get up fast and Cicatrix performs another arm drag this time holding onto Star's arm and wrenching it.

BETHEA: Cicatrix is looking to make Benny submit here.

STRACHON: Benny Starr will not tap so easy.

BETHEA: Either way this will do a number on his arm trust me on that.

After fifteen seconds Starr finally fights to his feet and delivers three elbow shots to Cicatrix mid section which forces him to let go of the hold. Benny then hits a Russian Leg Sweep.

STRACHON: Benny takes the offensive now.

Starr lifts Cicatrix to his feet by his head and takes him back down with a headlock takedown. He tries to hold onto the head, but Cicatrix springs to his feet. Star hurries to his feet, but once on them he gets drop kicked in the chest which causes him to stumble backwards fast and bump into the ref hard forcing the ref to almost fall out of the ring. While the ref catches himself and his back is turned Cicatrix runs at Star, but Star hits the Super Strike. Cicatrix limp body hits the floor.

BETHEA: That's cheating!

Starr covers and the referee turns back around to see the cover. ...1 ...2 ...3.

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

STRACHON: It's only cheating if you get caught, Bethea.

"Livin' on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi plays as Starr celebrates slightly. The referee hands him his belt and he raises it into the air as the crowd boo. Suddenly, "Last Resort" by Papa Roach plays.

STRACHON: What!?

BETHEA: Looks like Starr has just been caught, and what a person to be caught by. The chairman of the FWF.

To a huge ovation, Mike Farrell enters the arena. He is dressed in his usual attire of a grey suit and in his hand is a microphone.

FARRELL: Well, well, well. If it isn't "Super" Benny Starr. Mark Briggs has told me all about you. He told me how you're undefeated. He said that you are now the FWF Iron Man champion. I just had to come out here and meet the man that Briggs is giving $1,000,000 of my money to.

STRACHON: He deserves that money. Benny = ratings.

FARRELL: Now, you have won every match you've been in, and that's impressive. It's just... what, you've had... five matches? Six matches? I don't know, but something I've noticed is that to win each match, you have cheated to get a pinfall.

BETHEA: Now that is true.

FARRELL: It is very, very rare that I make an appearance, but here I am on Live-Wire. Mark Briggs seems to be in love with you, and he doesn't want you to ever lose that belt. I for one am a firm believer of giving other people a chance.

BETHEA: He gave me a chance at Genesis II where I won the World Heavyweight title.

STRACHON: Any excuse to get that in there.

FARRELL: From where I stand, Cicatrix has just been screwed out of the belt. Which... essentially means that Cicatrix should have won this match. Which essentially means that Cicatrix should be number one contender to your belt. Which essentially means that Cicatrix and Benny Starr should have a rematch ...for the belt ...at an upcoming pay-per-view.

STRACHON: I don't like where this is going.

CMF: So... I'm going to do what the DOA doesn't have the balls to do. I'm going to make a match. At FWF Blizzard 2007, it will be "Super" Benny Starr versus Cicatrix for the FWF Iron Man Championship.

STRACHON: NO! That's not fair!

BETHEA: His show... his rules.

CMF: Nuff Sed!

BETHEA: What an announcement that has been. More from us after the break.

[FWF]

STRACHON: Welcome back to Live-Wire. Coming up next... a three way match.

“Blood is Thicker than Water” by Black Label Society plays. Bloodbath enters in a black robe and shines his piercing eyes out into the crowd. He then throws off his robe to reveal his ripped physique and black ring wear attire.

JENKINS: The following match scheduled is for one fall. Introducing first ...from Bronx, New York City ...weighing in at 250 pounds ...Joey "Bloodbath" Rossetti!

"Loco" by 311 hits the P.A. and Loco comes out on stage and looks over the crowd smiling. He continues to smile as he walks all the way to the ring, climbs the steps, and goes threw the ropes ad stands in the middles of the ring and raises both arms.

JENKINS: And his opponent ...from East Los Angeles, CA ...weighing in at 229 ...El Vato Loco!

“Never Enough” by Eminem plays. As the music plays and the chicas jump to their feet and scream, The Icon appears on the stage, as sparks shoot from the stage and rain majestically over El Rey De Mexico. Jason Tombs steps forth in his sunglasses, and Mexican style bandanna and hooded sleeveless cloak, as the women sway and the men swear. Donning his pure white boots and skin tight shorts, he makes his decent to the ring. He slides into the ring and jumps to his feet for one last scream from the mamacitas.

JENKINS: And their opponent… from Los Angeles, California ...weighing in at 350 pounds… Jason Tombs!

The match starts and the three men look at one another.Loco looks like he is going to charge Bloodbath, but changes directions and runs at Jason who throws his arms forward smashing it into Loco's face like a clothesline sending Loco crashing to the floor.

BETHEA: Wow what a blow!

STRACHON: He's a beat.

BETHEA: Hey!

Bloodbath looks wide eyed at the downed Loco then up at Jason who just glares back. Bloodbath walks towards the big man showing no fear. Right before he gets to Tombs he jumps and pins Loco...1..Bloodbath breaks the cover on Loco seeing Jason's huge foot coming down at him. Bloodbath rolls off Loco and Jason's stomps on the chest of Loco.

BETHEA: Bloodbath tried to steal one.

STRACHON: But the big man wasn't having it.

BETHEA: yeah, but Loco is the one who paid for it.

Bloodbath is to his feet quick and leaps and Jason with a left forearm to his face, he then follows up with right hands. After four strikes Jason swings a big left smacking Bloodbath in the cheek and sends him stumbling back. Again Bloodbath launches at him with a right forearm then back at it with more ring hands. After three strikes this time Jason hits a big right hand rocking Bloodbath in the jaw and again sends him stumbling backwards. Bloodbath hops at Jason again, but only meets a big boot knocking him straight to his back.

BETHEA: that is one way to stop the momentum.

STRACHON: Bloodbath is a pretty big guy too, but no where near the size of "The Icon"

BETHEA: Bloodbath has to use his speed advantage.

STRACHON: I don't know about that, Jason Tombs is very fast for his size.

BETHEA: He is in did.

Jason Tombs lifts bloodbath up, but as soon as he is up Bloodbath begins un loading on Jason again. Jason swings a big blow of his own, but Bloodbath duck under it and runs to the ropes. Jason turns around to see Bloodbath bouncing off the ropes and hitting him with a hard clothesline. Jason looks wobbly. Bloodbath bounces off the ropes again, but at this time Loco is back up in front of Jason. Jason pushes Loco from behind and he gets shoved into a charging Bloodbath, their heads collide and loco falls limp to the ground. Bloodbath wobbles for a second. Blood running out of his nose then he too falls over.

BETHEA: Bloodbath busted open and Loco is out cold and the monster that is Jason Tombs still stands.

Jason lifts Bloodbath up and hooks his arm. He the hits a suplex, but keeps hold of Bloodbath and stands up with him and hits another suplex. He does the same one more time completing The 3 Pendejos.

BETHEA: He hit those suplexs fast and with great power. But give it to Bloodbath, he's not out yet, he's still moving.

STRACHON: Barely

BETHEA: If he's still moving he still has a chance.

Jason then climbs the corner to the top turnbuckle, but just then as he just gets up there he looks at the stage and sees KOK standing there with his belt over his shoulder.

STRACHON: What's he doing out here?

BETHEA: Well there has been alot of talk about Jason Tombs lately, mainly that he is undefeated and has a win over King of Kings who is now our World champion. I guess King of Kings doesn't like what people are saying.

STRACHON: Who can forget just a few weeks ago when Tombs left King down on the floor in front of us?

King of Kings raises his belt in the air for Tombs to see as he stares down at the ring at Jason. Jason jumps down from the ropes and KOK walks backstage with the belt still in the air. Jason then climbs out of the ring and walks up the ramp as KOK disappears behind the curtains. meanwhile in the ring both men are up and Bloodbath kicks Loco in the gut then nails the Sicilian Takedown and goes for the cover. ...1...2...3.

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

BETHEA: Impressive win by this newcomer.

STRACHON: Jason Tombs would have won if King didn't come out here.

BETHEA: He didn't get involved in the match.

STRACHON: Regardless, we're gonna have to take a short break. Don't go anywhere.

[FWF]

STRACHON: We're back.

BETHEA: If you look in the ring, you will see a thrown and a crown on a stand.

STRACHON: I can't believe this.

BETHEA: It's now time for the King of Kings to officially go on his thrown.

"Black Sheep" by Saliva plays. The arena goes black except for a blue light on the top of the arena by the entrance. Just before entrance there is smoke from the floor as KOK enters and walks through it and walks down to the ring. He climbs into the ring using the steps and once in the ring removes the sunglasses and the coat as the crowd cheer.

JENKINS: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome ...from Derby, England ...the new FWF World Heavyweight Champion ...”King of Kings” Joe Page!

Ernest Bethea takes off his headset. He grabs a microphone and gets into the ring. He shakes KOK's hand.

BETHEA: On the last edition of Live-Wire, this man right here finally ended the reign of Pain. The crowd were on their feet and it brought memories back to me. I remember it like it was yesterday. At Genesis II, the main event was set to be myself against the late great Alan Foulds. I won that match and I became World Heavyweight Champion, marking a new era of FWF.

STRACHON: Ernest or Egotist?

BETHEA: I know how you feel. But that's all in the past. It was way back in 2005. I've retired since then, but you're still going strong. You have a promising career ahead of you, so consider this ceremony me handing the torch to you.

STRACHON: I can't believe it. You've gripped that torch since you got it.

Bethea places the microphone onto the canvas. He then picks up the crown from off of the stand and places it onto King's head. KOK looks around as a "King of Kings" chant starts. He is about to sit down, when all of a sudden, "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N' Roses plays.

STRACHON: Here we go!

With a microphone in hand, Pain makes his way out onto the stage.

PAIN: Hold it right there! Don't you dare sit on that thrown, King. We have a rematch at MNR's Black Out '07. If you beat me, then and only then will you be able to sit there.

Pain angrily storms down the ramp and gets into the ring. Bethea gets out and takes his seat at commentary.

PAIN: King, take a seat. I have a match coming up, so you just sit and watch what's going to happen to you in our match.

King plays along with Pain and takes a seat at commentary. The lights go out in the arena then TNT By AC/DC begins to blare over the sound system. about 10 seconds into the song You see Richard Marciano emerge from the curtin. He walks out and corsses his arms and stops at the top of the ramp then pyro shoots off behind him. He then walks to the ring with his arms at his side. When he gets to the apron and he stands there for a few seconds before jumping on the apron. Before he steps through the ropes he wipes his feet off. He gets in the ring takes his sung glasses off and throws them to the crowd. He walks to each of the turnbuckles raising his arms high in the air. He steps down and walks to the far corner waiting for the bell to sound.

STRACHON: What the hell? Piss off!

KING: Now there's no need for that, Sammy.

BETHEA: Well, we are being joined by the World Heavyweight Champion, King of Kings for this next match.

Richard begins to take the belt from around his waist. As he is doing this, Pain straight away hits THE Superkick.

BETHEA: Oh, come on! The match hasn't even started yet!

STRACHON: You better watch out for that at Black Out.

KING: I will do. I've been on the receiving end of it before and it's not nice. Luckily, I have two moves of my own. One is the pedigree; a move that you've felt before, Sam. And the other is the one that got me this belt: The Punisher.

Pain stares at King. He picks Richard up and raises him up into a back suplex position as the bell sounds. He sits Richard on the top turnbuckle and climbs up himself. He hooks Marciano's head before nailing the Bringing the Pain. He covers. ...1 ...2 ...3.

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

Pain picks up the microphone again.

PAIN: The same thing is coming to you, King. My fourth World Heavyweight Championship reign is coming. And you can bring the Lost Heroes to ringside with you if you really want to... because I've got back up of my own.

Pain points to the entranceway. After a moment, "Never Enough" by Eminem plays. Jason Tombs slowly enters the arena.

BETHEA: What the...? It's Jason Tombs.

STRACHON: Jason Tombs! The man who BEAT King of Kings a few weeks ago on Live-Wire.

KING: Hmm...

STRACHON: That's right... BEAT. You were down and you couldn't get up.

Jason makes his way down the ramp with Pain laughing. He climbs up onto the apron and steps over the top. As Marciano is getting up, Tombs hooks his head. He then raises him up into the Jackhammer position before nailing the Dethroner.

BETHEA: Oh my God! The Hardcore champion just fell seven feet.

Jason picks up Richard's Hardcore championship. He holds it into the air and points at King. King stands up and takes off his headset. He holds his World title into the air as the scene fades to a commercial break.

[FWF]

STRACHON: Welcome back to Live-Wire.

BETHEA: You know what time it is.

STRACHON: Bethea knows it. I knows it. These people knows it. It's now time... for the MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN EVENT!

BETHEA: And what a main event we have. Last week on Live-Wire, Dan Taylor came to the aid of Matt Knox after he was ambushed by James Bohne.

STRACHON: That was until the Raven turned on his friend and thus... the powerpuff girls were formed.

BETHEA: Eh?

STRACHON: I mean... the Alliance!

Purple and blue flood lights shoot up from the stage as Matt Knox and James Bohne enter the arena through the curtain with heavy chants of boos coming from the crowd. They make their way down the ramp, making fun of crowd members of the front row before reaching the ring and sliding in. They both raise their fists in the air, as the normal lights come back on.

JENKINS: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. introducing first ...the team of James Bohne and Matthew "The Raven" Knox... The Alliance!

STRACHON: Fighting crime... trying to save the world...

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 and removes his leather jacket and glasses, tossing them to the outside.

JENKINS: And their opponents ...first, from Manchester, England ...weighing in at 245 pounds ...he is the DDT K.I.D. ...Dan "Dragon" Taylor!

"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: And his partner ...from the Eyrie, England ...The Predator! And they are ...the Lost Heroes!

Dan and Predator get in the center of the ring, staring down James and Raven. James shoves Predator backwards, telling him to get to his corner, but Predator attempts to run at James, only to have the referee get in the way and force him into his corner. James and Knox then play rock paper scissors to decide who stays in the ring.

STRACHON: What the hell are they doing?

BETHEA: It looks like they're deciding who starts off the match... and James seems to have won the game of rock paper scissors.

Knox goes to the turnbuckle and exits the ring, as James and Dan slowly lock up. Dan backs James into the corner with what seems like little hesitation. Dan slams his knee into James' stomach, and hooks his arm around his head and immediately falls backwards nailing James with a snap suplex.

BETHEA: Dan Taylor is gaining an early lead in this match for the Lost Heroes.

STRACHON: Keep in mind every member of this team has been in some sort of conflict with someone else involved with the match. James Bohne has been in at least one huge match with all three men in that ring.

BETHEA: Why Knox decided to align himself with James after the way he treated him I don't know, but perhaps we will find out later.

Dan picks up James by the hair and drags him over to Predator and tags him in. The Predator enters the ring and both men set James up for a double suplex, but Knox clips Predator's leg, causing him to fall. Knox goes back to his corner, as Dan exits the ring. At this time both James and Predator have gotten to their feet and stare eachother down.

BETHEA: These two men seem don't like each other at all.

STRACHON: You can just see the hatred in their eyes.

Predator charges at James attempting a clothesline, but James ducks and immediately hits a drop-toe-hold causing Predator to smash his face into the mat. James goes for a headlock, which is broken almost immediately by Predator.

STRACHON: James may not be the most powerful of the bunch, but his incredible speed makes up for it.

BETHEA: I'll admit he has some skill, but I can't say he quite matches that of The Predator or Dan Taylor.

STRACHON: Even though he beat Predator for his title at last year's Blizzard?

BETHEA: No, he beat Camisado for Predator's title at Blizzard. And as I recall every match he was involved in with Dan Taylor, Dan came out the victor.

James begins stomping away at Predator, and quickly goes to Knox and tags him in. James leaves the ring as Knox enters, who picks up Predator. Just then Predator rakes Knox in the eyes, and clotheslines him. Predator then runs against the ropes, and as Knox sits up Predator dropkicks him in the chest causing him to fall backwards again.

STRACHON: Predator seems to be taking control of this match once again.

BETHEA: At this rate there will never be a winner.

Predator points towards Dan, who looks on in anticipation. The crowd cheer and Predator tags Dan in. Dan slowly steps between the ropes, carefully surveying Knox. Knox gets to his feet and both men lock eyes in the middle of the ring.

BETHEA: Look at this confrontation. Remember, these men have never met in the ring before.

From the apron, James reaches over and tags himself in.

STRACHON: And by the looks of things, they never will.

James gets into the ring and charges at Dan, but Dan hits him with an armdrag, keeping hold of the arm into an armbar. James tries to get to his feet. He pulls himself to one knee. With his spare hand, he pokes Dan in the eye.
STRACHON: That's one way of countering the Dragon's technical ability.

With Dan stumbling, James bounces off the ropes and comes back, driving Dan's head into the mat with a bulldog. He covers. ...1 ...2. Dan kicks out. James quickly grabs Dan and picks him up, hooking his head.

BETHEA: This match is just going back and forth.

James signals for the DDT, mocking Dan. Before James has chance to hit it, Dan trips James up, sweeping his legs. He tries to lock in the sharpshooter, but James quickly reaches the ropes. Dan breaks the hold and James gets up. James runs at Dan, who goes for a clothesline, but James ducks. Both men go for dropkicks, and both miss.

STRACHON: Both men down!

BETHEA: They both had the same idea there.

...1 ...2 ...3. They both try and get to their corners. ...4 ...5 ...6. James tags in Matt and Dan makes the tag to Predator. Predator comes in and knocks Knox down with a big boot. James runs at Predator, but Predator lifts him up and drops him to the mat with a sidewalk slam.

BETHEA: That's how you get into the hall of fame.

James gets up and Predator hooks his head. He then nails the Predatordog and James rolls to one side. Predator begins to wind up his arm. Knox gets to his feet. He turns around and Predator charges at him, hitting the Wing Attack.

STRACHON: Wing Attack!

BETHEA: This match is over!

Predator shakes his head and decides not to cover. Instead, he tags Dan back in. Dan enters the ring with a smile on his face. After a moment, Knox gets up. He turns around and Dan raises him into the fireman's carry position.

STRACHON: He's going for the Dragon Slam!

BETHEA: They're finally meeting!

Dan is about to hit the Dragon Slam, but James gets into the ring and pulls Knox off of Dan's shoulders. Knox and James get out of the ring and the referee begins to count them out. ...1 ...2 ...3.

STRACHON: What're they doing?

BETHEA: It appears the Alliance have had enough.

They both slowly begin to walk up the ramp as the crowd boo. ...4 ...5 ...6. They reach the stage and look down to the ring at Dan and Predator, who look rather angry. ...7 ...8 ...9 ...10.

JENKINS: The winners of the match as a result of a count out ...the Lost Heroes!

BETHEA: They've been counted out, Sam.

Suddenly, "Last Resort" by Papa Roach plays and Mike Farrell steps onto stage with a microphone again. He looks towards the ring and then at Knox and James.

BETHEA: A second appearance by the chairman.

FARRELL: Well, I'm all about surprises tonight. I've just found it strange that Dan Taylor and Matthew Knox have been rivals for months now... but after all those months ... they've never met in the ring.

BETHEA: It's true. Even in tag team scenarios, they don't touch each other.

FARRELL: So, here's what I'm going to do. At Blizzard, it will be Dan "Dragon" Taylor versus Matthew "The Raven" Knox!

STRACHON: What!?

BETHEA: What an announcement.

Knox looks shocked as the crowd burst into large cheers. A grin reaches Dan's face as he laughs at Knox. Knox tries to plead with Mike for him to change his mind.

FARRELL: Nuff Sed!

BETHEA: Well, you heard it there, Sam. It's Dragon versus Raven.

STRACHON: Blizzard is shaping up to be a great night. Don't forget about the 20 man Blizzard match.

BETHEA: And then we have the Iron Man title match... Benny Starr versus Cicatrix.

STRACHON: And that's all we have time for this week. Join us next week for Live-Wire. Good night!
