[FWF]

LEGEND: Welcome to Monday Night Rampage live from Toronto, Canada. I’m Johnny Legend.

BRIGGS: And I’m Tom Briggs. What a show we have for you today.

LEGEND: That’s right TB. It has been confirmed, Ernest Bethea will take on Richo in a casket match.

BRIGGS: But that’s not all. What will happen in the ladder match between the World Heavyweight Champion Alan Foulds as he takes on The Predator?

”Bring Me To Life” by Evanescence plays. To a herd of boos, Chris Knite enters the arena. Beside him is a tall, bald man. The two of them walk down the ramp and the man sits on the middle rope, holding it down for Knite. He snatches the microphone from ring announcer, Phil Charles.

BRIGGS: Canadians don’t like Chris Knite!

KNITE: It seems that everybody’s gunning for me now that I’m FWF UK champion, so I’d like to introduce to you my new bodyguard. This is Mike Power.

LEGEND: A bodyguard?

KNITE: But that’s not why I came out here. I came out here to introduce a new show to Fantasy Wrestling Federation. Ladies and gentlemen... welcome to The Knite Show!

BRIGGS: I love it. It’s simple, yet elegant.

LEGEND: Give it a rest.

KNITE: So please, allow me to introduce me first guest and remember... we all have to start from nothing... and I started from the very bottom ...Street Thug!

”Thuganomics” by John Cena plays as Street Thug makes his way out on stage. With the crowd cheering, he walks down to the ring where a member of ring crew hands him a microphone.

LEGEND: Hardcore champion.

THUG: Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo!

BRIGGS: Fo’ Shizzle?

KNITE: A simple “hello” would have done. My first question is this. How does it feel to be stood in the ring with a REAL champion?

THUG: A REAL Champion? You know I should have that belt you have wrapped around your waist. I should and I could. I would take it and turn it into…oh I dunno…the Canadian title

Knite: You wish. However... you make a point... it shouldn’t be the UK title. It should be a belt that represents the greatest country on Earth ...The United States of America!

Suddenly, “Highway to the Danger Zone” begins to play. With a mixed reaction, The Predator enters and stands on stage with a microphone.

PREDATOR: The foundations of the Fantasy Wrestling Federation are in Britain. So forget about the USA and forget about Canada... that is the United Kingdom Championship and I plan to return it to its rightful owner.

”Real American” plays. “Captain” Joe Stall enters the arena and asks for Predator’s microphone. Predator willingly hands it over.

STALL: Hold on there. In my opinion, it should be the world title. But FWF already has one of those sooooo… I’d want to dedicate that title to my home country …the USA!

KNITE: I am a two time UK champion. That’s more than any of you can count. There’s no way I’ll lose my title to any of you.

“Suffocation” by Papa Roach plays as Mike Farrell enters the arena and stands on stage with a microphone.

LEGEND: Well the Chairman of the board has something to say.

FARRELL: Well here’s what we’re gonna do. As you know this Friday is FWF Genesis II: In the Beginning. And it will decide the new beginning for the undisputed title. You will all get your wishes. It will be “The Saviour” Chris Knite versus Street Thug versus The Predator versus “Captain” Joe Stall. The winner keeps the belt, and can change it to whatever they want it to be. That means, if Chris Knite or Joe Stall win, it will become the US title. If The Predator wins, it will stay the UK title. And if Street Thug wins, it will be the Canadian title. ‘Nuff Said!

LEGEND: CMF has spoken.

BRIGGS: And Genesis just seems to be getting better.

LEGEND: As does this night, TB... a ladder match... when we return!

[FWF]

LEGEND: Welcome back to Rampage.

BRIGGS: Above the ring is a briefcase. What’s in it Legend?

LEGEND: £10,000 is in it. If you want it... you have to climb the ladder to get it.

Coming back from the commercial break, the scene opens backstage where Predator is walking down the hallway. Suddenly, Mike Power comes from out of nowhere and hits Predator with a Big Boot. Knite then picks him up and nails the Knite Driver.

LEGEND: We are back on Live-Wire and what the hell is going on back there!?

BRIGGS: It looks like Mike Power is more than just a bodyguard.

Mike picks Predator up and carries him through the curtain and into the arena where Alan Foulds is stood waiting in the ring with a ladder. Power drags Predator down the ramp and throws him into the ring where Alan grabs his feet and locks in the Figure-Four-Leg-Lock. Knite and Power exit.

LEGEND: The Figure-Four. This is just sick!

The Predator taps out, but Alan refuses to let go. Eventually, The Predator passes out. Alan stands and raises his belt as the crowd boo. He laughs as he slowly climbs up the ladders. He then unties the suitcase.

CHARLES: The winner of the match ...the FWF World Heavyweight Champion ...Alan Foulds!

Arn Anderson’s Original Horseman theme starts and Ernest Bethea comes racing out. He charges down the ramp and Alan flees, getting out of the ring as Bethea gets in. Bethea picks up the ladders and throws them over the top rope, narrowly avoiding Alan.

LEGEND: And The Beast has made the save!

BRIGGS: But who’s gonna save him when he faces Alan at Genesis?

A “Beast” chant starts as Alan heads backstage. The ring crew assist Predator to the back as Bethea paces back and forth, awaiting his opponent. Ring crew slide the casket into the ring.

CHARLES: The following is the Casket Match, where the only way to win is to place your opponent in the casket with the lid shut.

BRIGGS: Main event time!

CHARLES: Introducing first ...from New York City ...weighing in at 307 pounds ...Ernest “The Beast” Bethea!

“Just Lose It” by Eminem plays as Riccardi makes his way out wearing black tights, rapping. He walks down the ramp and steps into the ring.

CHARLES: And his opponent ...weighing in at 212 pounds ...Richo!

Barely entering the ring, Richo spears Bethea. He tries desperately to get Bethea in the casket but he refuses to go in. He rolls to the outside of the ring. Richo follows, hitting Bethea in the back a few times. Bethea replies with a hard elbow shot to the side of Richo’s head. He follows up by giving a huge clothesline.

LEGEND: It’s gonna take more than that. Bethea is almost 100 pounds more than Richo.

Bethea then removes one of the monitors from the announcers’ table. Before he gets chance to use it, Richo low blows Bethea. He then rolls him onto the table. As Richo climbs on, Bethea shoulder barges him, then lifts him and spine busters him through the table.

LEGEND: Oh My God!

BRIGGS: There was no need in that. I was planning to put my feet up.

Bethea drags the helpless Richo to the ring. Bethea smiles as the crowd cheer. He walks over to the casket and opens it. Suddenly, the turnbuckles set on fire.

BRIGGS: What the hell is that!?

LEGEND: The World Heavyweight Champion is playing mind games with the number one contender.

Bethea looks round, confused, and stares at the titantron. With the distraction, Richo low blows Bethea again and throws him into the coffin, slamming the lid down. The bell sounds.

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

LEGEND: Ernest Bethea is in the coffin!

BRIGGS: And he may have to get used to it as he faces Alan Foulds this coming Friday.

LEGEND: Ladies and gentlemen, you do not want to miss Genesis. We’ll see you then!
