[FWF]

STRACHON: Welcome one and all to Live-Wire. I am Sam Strachon.

BETHEA: And I'm Ernest "The Beast" Bethea. We are well on the way on the path to Genesis.

STRACHON: What a great show we have for you tonight.

BETHEA: In our main event, we have one half of the Lost Heroes in Dan "Dragon" Taylor coming off a huge loss to James Bohne at Apocalypse.

STRACHON: But things don't get any better for him as he faces the World Heavyweight Champion, Pain.

BETHEA: The undefeated FWF Iron Man champion will also be in action.

STRACHON: That's right. "Super" Benny Starr will face... erm... who is it again?

BETHEA: Another FWF newcomer hoping to make a name for himself. In his debut match, Benny will go one on one with the Count.

STRACHON: But first, King of Kings will face Sah'ta Thor.

A blue light shines throughout the arena as "Black Sheep" by Saliva plays. King of Kings makes his way out. Smoke rises as he walks down the ramp and gets into the ring with the crowd cheering.

JENKINS: The following match scheduled is for one fall. Introducing first ...from Derby, England ...weighing in at 260 pounds ...King of Kings!

"Blood and Fire" by Type O Negative plays as a wall of fire lines up about the entranceway. Sah'ta enters the arena. He walks down the ramp with lightning striking the ring as he steps. He climbs up the steps and gets into the ring. He takes off his coat and hands it to a member of ring crew.

JENKINS: And his opponent ...weighing in at 175 pounds ...he is the Immortal ...Sah'ta Thor!

The bell sounds. The two lock up and KOK quickly overpowers Thor into the corner. The referee begins to count. ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4. KOK releases.

BETHEA: Of course, King is the bigger and stronger of the two.

The two circle the ring before locking up again. This time, Thor uses his speed to circle around King, grabbing him in a waistlock position. He goes for a German suplex, but KOK resists. Releasing his attempt is useless, Thor bounces off the ropes. He comes back, but is cut off by a high knee from KOK.

BETHEA: Right in the face!

Thor gets up and KOK kicks him in the stomach. He then hooks his head and raises Thor into a vertical suplex position. He keeps him into the air for a while before dropping him down to the mat with a suplex.

BETHEA: Great show of power by the former World Heavyweight Champion.

STRACHON: Yeah? Well what has he done since?

BETHEA: I'll admit, he's been on quite the losing streak as of late, all thanks to one man.

STRACHON: Who's that?

BETHEA: Benny Starr.

STRACHON: Don't be silly.

KOK picks Thor up and Irish-whips him into the corner. King then charges at him with a clothesline, but Thor moves and Kings hits the turnbuckle. He stumbles out and Thor hits a dropkick to KOK's knee, bringing him down. Thor then quickly nails a neckbreaker.

STRACHON: Beautiful move there.

He covers. ...1. KOK kicks out. Thor doesn't give King time to breath and immediately begins to stomp away at him. King tries to use the ropes to get up. Thor takes advantage of this and begins to choke King on the ropes. ...1 ...2 ...3 ...4. Thor releases.

BETHEA: Illegal use of the ropes right there.

STRACHON: Pfft, he had 'til five.

BETHEA: That's not the point.

STRACHON: That's exactly the point.

Thor grabs King and takes him over to the corner. He Irish-whips him, but King releases and sends Sah'ta into the turnbuckle. Thor stumbles out and goes for a right hand, but KOK ducks, grabbing Thor as he goes. King then nails the Rock Bottom.

BETHEA: Rock Bottom from the King!

Thor slowly gets up and King charges at him with a high knee, but Thor moves and King hits the referee.

STRACHON: He hit an official. Disqualify him!

BETHEA: He didn't mean to do it, Sam.

King kicks Thor in the stomach. He then hooks both of his arms before driving Thor's head into the mat with the Pedigree. He covers, but the refere is unable to make the count.

STRACHON: Yes!

BETHEA: What'd'ya mean "yes"? King of Kings should have won!

King looks at the referee. He then picks Thor up and places him on the top rope, setting him up for the Punisher. Suddenly, "Simply the Best" by Tina Turner plays.

BETHEA: Oh, no. It looks like Benny Starr wants something to do with this.

King stares at the titantron, waiting for his enemy when all of a sudden, Starr enters through the crowd. He gets into the ring and turns King around before nailing him with the Super Strike. King stumbles back into the corner where Thor is recovering.

BETHEA: No. Not this! King of Kings has been screwed over again!

From the top rope, Thor flips himself over the near unconscious King into a quick powerbomb as the referee begins to move. Starr gets out of the ring as Thor covers. ...1 ...2 ...3.

JENKINS: The winner of the match ...Sah'ta Thor!

BETHEA: I can't believe it.

STRACHON: You better believe it, Beast. King of Kings is a loser.

BETHEA: He was screwed over... yet again!

[FWF]

Coming back from the commercial break, James Bohne and Christine Marsh stand in the middle of the ring with their belts over their respective shoulders.

JENKINS: Ladies and gentlemen, currently in the ring ...representing BTS ...the FWF US Tag Team Champions ...James Bohne and Christine Marsh!

BETHEA: These two make me sick.

STRACHON: But you have to give it to them... it's pretty smart to fake someone's death.

BETHEA: She deserves death. They both do.

BOHNE: There are a few questions that people always ask in this business. One of those questions is this: Who is the greatest tag team in wrestling history?

BETHEA: Oh, brother.

BOHNE: Now, let's take FWF for example. There've been lots of teams come and go. Some better than others, but who do you think is the greatest tag team in FWF? It's arguably Thunder 'N' Lightning.

BETHEA: The first ever tag team inductees into the FWF Hall of Fame. Watch it happen at Genesis.

BOHNE: It could be the Army. It could be the Meds, but I've already beaten them. It could even be the Lost Heroes.

BETHEA: Well, these fans seem to agree with that.

STRACHON: Dan Taylor and the Predator are undefeated as a tag team since returning.

BOHNE: Let's split them in half for a moment. Dan "Dragon" Taylor... a couple of years ago, you decided to start a stable. They were called the X-tremes. Now, not only is that a generically terrible name, but it was a generically bad team. We'll prove that BTS are better than them... right now! Bring them out.

STRACHON: What's this?

BETHEA: No. He can't be serious?

"All My Life" by Foo Fighters plays and a dark, red light surrounds the arena. After a moment, Knuckles and Danny Diablo enter the arena. Diablo runs down the ramp, slapping the hands of fans as he goes as Knuckles slowly follows. The two get into the ring.

JENKINS: The following match scheduled is for one fall and is for the Fantasy Wrestling Federation United States Tag Team Championship! Introducing the challengers ...the team of Danny Diablo and Knuckles ...The X-tremes!

STRACHON: I can't believe it.

Before the bell sounds, James takes Diablo down with a spear and begins to hit him with rights and lefts. The referee calls for the bell and James picks Diablo up and hooks his head. Bohne then executes a vertical suplex.

STRACHON: I can't see this lasting long.

James picks Diablo up again and Irish-whips him into the BTS corner. He then tags in Christine. Christine climbs to the top rope as James holds Diablo. She then jumps off, hitting the Scottdog.

BETHEA: The Scottdog from the Highlander from Hell.

STRACHON: The name has become more fitting, Beast.

Christine tags James back in, who immediately runs to the opposite corner and knocks Knuckles off the apron. James then picks Diablo up and raises him into the fireman's carry position. He then nails the Assassination. He covers. ...1 ...2 ...3.

JENKINS: The winners of the match ...and still FWF US Tag Team champions ...Christine Marsh and James Bohne ...BTS!

The referee hands the duo their belts and they stand in the middle of the ring. Christine kisses James as the crowd explode into boos.

BETHEA: I really can't believe these two.

BOHNE: Y'see that, Dan? We're gonna further our theory next week when we defend our titles again. This time, against... The Breakfast Table!

BETHEA: Wow! Huge news.

STRACHON: UCW's own.

BETHEA: Make sure you tune into Stampede TV next week for that one.

STRACHON: But stay tuned tonight. More great action still to come.

[FWF]

"Simply the Best" by Tina Turner blares over the PA system as a hot pink light surrounds the arena. Moments later, "Super" Benny Starr struts out as the crowd boo. He turns round and David Calaz runs out after him holding a towel and a bottle of water. With Calaz remaining behind, the two stroll down the ramp. Calaz slides into the ring as Benny jumps up onto the apron. Using the top rope, he springboards and lands in the middle of the ring on one knee.

BETHEA: Welcome back to Live-Wire.

STRACHON: You are just in time for quite possibly the greatest wrestler of the current roster.

JENKINS: The following match scheduled is for one. Introducing first ...accompanied by David Calaz from Hollywood; the capital of the world ...weighing in at 235 pounds ...he is the FWF Iron Man Champion ..."Super" Benny Starr!

STRACHON: The UNDEFEATED Benny Starr.

BETHEA: Ten wins to his name and zero losses. Incredible.

JENKINS: And his opponent...

STRACHON: Meh.

The lights go out as "Crawling" by Linkin Park plays. Suddenly, fire erupts about the stage and the Count enters the arena. He slowly walks down the ramp and gets into the ring before taking off his jacket and sunglasses.

JENKINS: Making his FWF debut ...weighing in at 256 pounds ...the Count!

STRACHON: This won't take long.

Count stands still in the ring as Calaz gets out. The bell sounds and Benny begins to laugh. He walks over to the Count, continuing to laugh. Suddenly, Count hits Starr with a headbutt, knocking Benny back. Couch then takes Benny down with a clothesline. Benny gets up.

BETHEA: Things don't look good for Benny.

Benny charges at Count, but Count counters, throwing Benny over with a hiptoss. Benny uses the ropes to get up, at which point, Count runs at him and hits a clothesline, knocking Benny over the top rope and to the outside.

STRACHON: What the hell is going on?

BETHEA: I'll tell you what's going on, Sam. Benny's losing!

STRACHON: He'll still win though. He always wins.

BETHEA: And he always cheats to do it.

On the outside, Calaz wipes the sweat from Benny's head. Benny gets back into the ring. The two men go to lock up, but Benny quickly knees Count in the stomach. He then bounces off the ropes and plants Count's head into the mat with a bulldog.

STRACHON: Here we go.

Benny goes for the cover. ...1 ...2. Count kicks out. As Count is getting up, Benny knocks him back down with an elbow drop. He then picks Count up and Irish-whips him into the corner. He charges at Count and connects with a Stinger Splash.

STRACHON: Perfectly executed move right there.

Count stumbles out of the corner and Benny grabs him from behind. Benny then nails a Russian Legsweep. He covers. ...1 ...2 ...Count kicks out.

BETHEA: The Count is still in this thing. And what a win it would be.

Benny picks Count up and Irish-whips him. He goes for the Super Strike, but Count ducks. Count bounces off the ropes and goes for the Back to Hell, but Benny ducks and Count hits the referee. Count turns round and Benny nails the Super Strike.

STRACHON: There it is!

BETHEA: Super Strike from the Superstarr.

Benny stands over the Count. He then heads to the top rope. He looks down before leaping off, hitting the Picture Perfect Elbow.

STRACHON: Let's hope the Count can count to 911. He'll be needing an ambulance after tonight.

Suddenly, "Black Sheep" by Saliva plays.

BETHEA: Oh my! Here we go!

STRACHON: What the hell? He has no business in this match.

BETHEA: And Benny had no business in King of Kings' earlier tonight.

King of Kings makes his way out, looking angry. The crowd cheer as he slowly walks down the ramp and gets into the ring. He and Benny stare down in the middle of the ring. Benny steps aside as Calaz gets in the ring. He runs at King, but King lifts him up and slams him to the mat with a spinebuster.

BETHEA: Spinebuster!

STRACHON: No!

Benny goes for the Super Strike, but King ducks. King then kicks Benny in the stomach and hooks both of his arms. He then nails the Pedigree.

STRACHON: He can't do that!

King gets out of the ring. Count reaches over and places his arm on Benny's chest and the referee slowly counts. ...1 ...2 ...3.

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

STRACHON: NO! What the fuck!? What the actual fuck!?

BETHEA: Calm down, Sam!

STRACHON: I can't! He's not undefeated anymore!

BETHEA: One thing's for sure, Sam... payback is a bitch!

[FWF]

Coming back from the commercial break, the scene opens inside the Better Than Sex locker room. James and Christine are sat on the sofa talking and Benny is angrily walking back and forth with Calaz stood beside him.

BENNY: I can’t believe it. I honestly can’t believe it. I lost.

CALAZ: It’s not that bad.

BENNY: Not that bad? That’s easy for you to say. When was the last time you won?

CALAZ: I... erm...

BENNY: Exactly. I’m going to teach King of Kings a lesson. I’ll show him why I’m the only true Superstarr in FWF. The extra “R” is for “Revenge”.

CALAZ: So, you’re going to challenge him to a match?

BENNY: Don’t be so stupid. I’m much too shaken up to be wrestling.

CALAZ: So what’re you gonna do?

BENNY: Oh, Calaz. So young... so naïve. It’s not about what I’M going to do. It’s about what YOU’RE going to do.

CALAZ: Eh?

BENNY: Next week on Live-Wire. You’re facing King of Kings.

A look of fear hits Calaz’s face as Benny walks off. The scene switches back to the arena.

JENKINS: The following hardcore match is scheduled to one fall and is for the Fantasy Wrestling Federation Hardcore Championship! Introducing first ...from Los Angeles, California ...weighing in 350 pounds ...the FWF Hardcore Champion ..."The Icon" Jason Tombs.

“Never Enough” by Eminem 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 the challenger ...from Rosemead, California ...weighing in at 220 pounds ...Dominator!

“Mea Culpa” By Enigma hit’s the P.A, and Dominator steps out, brandishing a 2x4 wrapped in barbed wire. He comes out unaccompanied, and points to the ring, shouting at Jason Tombs, who calmly slides out of the ring as Dom slides in with a board wrapped in barbed wire.

BETHEA: Dominator’s got that barbed wired 2x4.

STRACHON: And he looks eager to use it.

Dom slides into the ring long enough for the bell to ring, then stands, and finds that Tombs has moved to the outside. Dom won’t have this though as he slides out of the ring, and takes a swing at Tombs’ head with the 2x4. He misses, and is paid a kick in the gut by Tombs, who then throws some rights to the side of Dominator’s head.

STRACHON: Tombs is refusing to let Dominator use that 2x4.

Eventually, Dom drops the 2x4 and begins to slug it out with Jason, eventually he gets the upper hand, using his agility to counter act Tombs’ brute force. Tombs swings for his head, but Dom ducks, and grabs the 2x4, then sends it crashing into the big man’s back, snapping it in two.

BETHEA: That looked like it hurt.

STRACHON: Thank you Ernest. That was highly informative.

Tombs yells out in pain, and rolls around holding his back. Dom takes the opportunity, and kicks him in the ribs a couple of times, then gets on his knees, and reaches under the ring. He pulls out a trash can, four trash can lids, and a few street signs. This elicits a cheer from the crowd.

STRACHON: The crowd is going wild.

BETHEA: Now you’re the one being very informative.

STRACHON: Why thank you.

BETHEA: That was sarcasm too.

STRACHON: Not your thing.

Dom picks up a one of the garbage can lids, and waits for Tombs to get to his feet. He then blasts him in the face with it, bending the Aluminum, and grounding Tombs again. He throws the aluminum down, and lets out a solid war cry, then turns, and picks up a street sign. He turns back, to find Tombs on his knees, pleading for mercy. Dom sneers, raises the street sign, a railroad crossing sign….and is hit with a low blow by Jason Tombs, bringing him to his knees and causing him to drop the sign.

BETHEA: Low blow! Low blow!

STRACHON: It’s all legal.

Tombs gets to his feet quickly, and kicks Dom in the side of the head. He then pulls him up by his hair, and grabs the trash can. He sets it over Dom, and reaches under the ring, and pulls out a lead pipe. He then begins to hit the trash can, crunching it in on Dominator, who doubles over, and falls and rolls to the ground, attempting to evade the hits. Eventually, Tombs lets up, and throws the lead pipe down on the concrete floor. Dominator gets out of the banged up piece of Aluminum, and gets to his feet slowly, only to be met by more fists from Tombs. Dom fights back though, and eventually, the two are in a fist fight. Tombs, however, easily gets the upper hand, and shoves Dom away, causing the smaller man to roll backwards, but he gets up, and runs at Tombs, hitting him with a flying shoulder, and knocking the big man back, and over the barrier.

BETHEA: This is getting out of hand.

STRACHON: It’s a hardcore match. It’s supposed to get out of hand.

Tombs gets to his feet, and is met by Dominator, who has run at him, and taken a leap of faith by kicking off of the ring steps, he hits Tombs with a flying spear, taking him to the concrete floor. The move, however, takes the wind out of both men.

STRACHON: What a move!

Tombs gets up first, and throws his hands at Dom, in a disgusted motion. He then begins to make his way toward the stage, and the backstage area. Dominator gets up though, and looks after Tombs. Angered, he grabs a chair by the railing, and takes off after Tombs. Tombs sees Dominator coming, and hops the guard rail again, and hurries up the ramp. Dom, however, is right on him, and hits Tombs in the back of the head with the chair. The big man wobbles forth, and to the side as he reaches the top of the ramp. Dom then unloads on him with the chair, hitting him a total of four times. Tombs then topples off the stage, falling through a stack of tables. Dom stands there then, in awe, before leaping off the stage in a shooting star press, keeping the chair held to his stomach, to double the impact.

BETHEA: I… I can’t believe it.

The ref runs over to the carnage, and counts the pin with Dom on top of Tombs. ...1 ...2 …3.

JENKINS: Here is your winner and the new FWF Hardcore Champion ...Dominator!

STRACHON: How is this possible?! Jason Tombs has been pinned for the first time ever! And by Dominator, nonetheless!

BETHEA: Dominator has just made a name for himself here in FWF by being the first to beat Jason Tombs! We have a new Hardcore Champion!

STRACHON: And I'm not happy about that!

BETHEA: That's all we have time for. Thank you for watching and goodnight.
