Rampage 2002

American Airlines Center | Dallas, Texas | January 27 2002



(The lights in the American Airlines Center dim, as the MegaTron lights up. Immediately the infamous scene of Badger and Dread falling from the monitor at Christmas Chaos is played, followed by Mayhem’s title win. A voice-over begins, narrating the shots.)

Voice- A new champion has ended the longest reign in GCW history. A new beginning emerges for the young man and his wife. His family, his friends, all that he holds dear… has been threatened. Tonight, one man defends his title and his family! Tonight, one man will fight to the finish in a brutal tournament for it all! And tonight, GCW will be changed forever. Tonight, GCW proudly presents… RAMPAGE!

(The lights in the American Airlines center come up, and colorful pyro explodes from the rafters and the MegaTron! Flames erupt from the stage, as the Dallas crowd goes absolutely crazy for Rampage! The cameras fly over the frenzied fans, as James Bryan begins the show!)

Bryan- With over 19 thousand fans in attendance, Rampage is coming to you LIVE from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas! We’re joined by millions of viewers watching worldwide on Pay-Per-View, all ready to see Tristain Mayhem take on Jason Dread!

Yale- Well, with all those people watching worldwide, we’ve still got the best seats in the house, JB! And there is nowhere in the world I would rather be than at ringside for this event!

Bryan- In addition to the world title match we have the final three matches of the Rampage tournament, as well a brutal two out of three falls match between John Reed and Jason O’Neil, and the Street Fight between Steven Caldera and Octavian! For now, let’s go to Kevin Jacobs!

(The cameras head backstage, where Kevin Jacobs stands in the hallways. Jacobs wears a nice tie and suit, looking rather elegant for the night.)

Jacobs- Thanks, JB! Well, as many of you already know, rumors have been flying around that we might see a returning superstar here tonight at Rampage! Speculation has been running rampant as to who it might be, but as of now we really don’t know a thing! But the night really couldn’t be bigger already, as we get set for a huge night!

(Jacobs smiles and nods, as he lowers the microphone. A ring technician walks behind him, followed by a young man. The young man turns to face the camera, and it becomes apparent that he is Branson King! King raises what appears to be a donut to his face, and takes a bite. With a grin he waves at the camera, before simply turning to continue his stroll. Without a second glance the cameras head back to ringside.)

Back to Top

Bryan- And we’re going to kick things off here tonight with a Television Title Match!

(Big Skails’ music cues up, and Skails emerges onto the stage with 3-Pac. Together, the two strut to the ring, arguing about something incoherently the whole time.)

Andrews- The following contest is set for one fall, and it is for the GCW Television Championship! Introducing first, accompanied by 3-Pac, he weighs in at 476 pounds… Big Skails!

Bryan- Well, Skails has had a lot of momentum lately, and tonight he’s seeking his first GCW title! But he’s got quite the mountain to topple, as he takes on Jeff Wylde!

(Skails gets to the ring, and steps through the ropes. The crowd actually seems to be cheering him, much to his dismay. His music fades out, and Born to be Wylde hits. The TV Champ, alongside Roadblock, emerges onto the stage to a monstrous chorus of boos, again to the dismay of Skails.)

Andrews- And his opponent, accompanied by Roadblock, he weighs in at 237 pounds, and he is the GCW Television Champion… Jeff Wylde!

Bryan- Well, Wylde has been on a roll in GCW as of late, and here tonight he must face Big Skails! This really should be a great contest!

Yale- Ahh, come on, Skails doesn’t stand a chance! The guy is a moron!

(Wylde steps through the ropes, and hands his belt to the official. His music fades, and Wylde locks eyes with Skails.)

Bryan- And there’s the bell.

Yale- Skails and Wylde are set to rumble. Skails and 3 Pac have been trying desperately to become a heel. They haven’t had much success in recent weeks.

Bryan- It seems we are off as Skails quickly runs up to Wylde and nails him with a huge shoulder block that takes the T.V. Champion off his feet. Lets not forget that the belt is on the line tonight.

Yale- Skails off the ropes now and nails a legdrop on the T.V. Champ’s head.

Bryan- Wylde recovers to his feet as Skails walks up to him and gets him in a side headlock. Wylde shoves Skails off as Skails dashes to the ropes and comes back. Wylde lifts his knee as Skails charges right into it and flips over him. Skails is rolling on the ground in pain as he slowly arises. Wylde is right there and begins to kick away at Skails but Skails tries for a low blow.

Yale- But Wylde saw it coming! Wylde catches Skails arm before it connects with his groin. Wylde drags Skails up to his feet.

Bryan- If that low blow attempt had connected, that would have been considered a heel move right?

Yale- What do you mean by that?

Bryan- Well heels usually aim for that section as a way out of a bad situation. So I consider it a heel type of move.

Yale- Sure, whatever.

Bryan- Anyway. Wylde lifts Skails up to his feet and begins chopping away at the stomach and chest.

(Crowd, "Woooooo, Woooooooo, Woooooo!")

Yale- Skails in backed up into the corner as wait! Skails twists Wylde over the ropes! NO WAY!!!! TARANTULA!!! MY GOD SKAILS HAS THE TARANTULA LOCKED ON WYLDE! WYLDE IS SCREAMING IN PAIN!

(Ref counts…..One……Two……Three…….Four…….Five……)

Bryan- The ref forces Skails to break the hold. Skails finally lets go of the hold as he leaves the ring. He walks up to the steel steps and throws them in the ring. The ref sees this and walks up to the stairs and throws them back out of the ring.

Yale- Don’t use those! You will be disqualified! Don’t lose your chance at gaining the T.V. Championship!

Bryan- Skails looks pissed as he once again throws the stairs in. And once again the ref throws them back out. Those are illegal you idiot. Get back in the ring.

Yale- Well Skails walks off some anger and enters the ring again. Wylde has by now fully risen to his feet. Wylde moves in on Skails and takes him down with an arm drag. Skails quickly recovers as Wylde then hits him with a firemans carry. Skails once again quickly recovers and is taken back down with a huge dropkick. Wylde goes to the ropes and celebrates as the crowd boos him on.

Bryan- If I was Wylde I would keep my eyes on Skails. Skails begins to rise as Wylde turns around. Skails is to his feet and Skails charges at Wylde. He clotheslines Wylde out of the ring! Wylde hits his head off the apron on his way down. Wylde might be out cold! He isn’t moving.

Yale- Well if Skails doesn’t do anything about this, Wylde will be counted out and he will retain his title. But no, Skails breaks up the count and walks outside the ring. He lifts Wylde up on his shoulders in bear hug position. He runs full speed into the steel ring post as Wylde’s back shatters again the steel.

Bryan- Whoa! Skails rolls Wylde in under the ropes and pins him right away! Skails has got the tights!!! HE’S GOT THE TIGHTS! ONE……TWO……Wylde barely kicks out!

Yale- Whoa now that would be considered a heel type of move. Skails sure is acting like a heel.

Bryan- Or trying to act like one.

Yale- Same difference. I would say he hasn’t had much success at it though.

Bryan- Wylde begins to recover as Skails kicks the back of Wylde’s head sending him right to the mat again. Skails drags Wylde over to the turnbuckle as Skails begins to rip the turnbuckle padding off! He’s got it off! Oh no! He has Wylde in that slingshot launching position! Skails falls back as Wylde goes face first into that exposed turnbuckle!

Yale- Outstanding. I think Skails is finally realizing what he has to do. That heel status is catching up to him!

Bryan- Skails lifts Wylde onto the turnbuckle and climbs up behind him. He is setting him up for a big back suplex! But wait. Skails lifts him up for it but Wylde backflips out of his arms and lands on his feet back on the mat. Wylde grabs the head of Skails and tugs him off the turnbuckle into a running neck breaker! He is out cold! Goodnight Big Skails! Wylde drops down for the pin wasting no time at all! ONE!!! TWO!!!! THRE- GOD NO!!! Skails gets the arm up just in time! I surely thought he was done for!

Yale- But he isn’t so we shall continue! Skails is lifted to his feet Wylde sets him up! He’s got him up for it!! THERE IT IS!!! WYLDE RIDE!!! HE’S DONE!!! The pin!!! ONE!!!!! TWO!!!! THREE!!! NO!!! OH MY GOD!!! SKAILS KICKED OUT!!! SKAILS KICKED OUT!!! MY GOD!!! WYLDE IS PISSED!!! WYLDE IS NOT ARGUING THE COUNT MADE BY THE REF!

Bryan- But look! Skails has slid out of the ring! He’s got a chair. WHAT IS HE GONNA DO WITH THAT!

Yale- Jeez! I dunno, sit on it?!

Bryan- Shut up! Skails slides that chair in the ring as he grabs another. Skails slides the other chair in the ring as well. Skails lifts one of those chairs and shoves the ref out of the way. He is about to nail Wylde over the head with it but the ref from behind grabs the chair out of the arms of Skails! There is that heel form for yea! WAIT! Skails turns around and looks at the ref! The ref turns to the crowd and is starting to leave the ring. WAIT WYLDE!!! Wylde has picked up that second chair! He raises it above his head!

Yale- But Skails has still got his back turned on him. The ref is putting the chair back! I don’t think he knows there were two chairs in the ring! Skails begins to turn as Wylde smashes the chair over his head!!! SKAIL IS OUT COLD! Skails Is done for now!

Bryan- Skails drops to the mat like a ton of bricks as Wylde slides the chair out of the ring and out of the refs sight! Wylde is going to steal one here!

Yale- Yes AHAHA!!! Big Skails, Jeff Wylde can surely give you some pointers on how to be heel! AHAHA!!!

Bryan- Shut up! Wylde is going to steal this one! The ref slides back in! The count! ONE!!! TWO!!! THREE!!! DAMN IT WYLDE!!!

Yale- Yes! AHAHA!!! STILL T.V. Champion!!! WOOHOO!!!

Bryan- Damn it! Big Skails was screwed!

Yale- Well Skails plan had back fired!

Bryan- Not fair David!

Andrews- The winner of this match and STILL GCW’S T.V. CHAMPION…….JEFF WYLDE!!!

(The crowd boos as Wylde is handed a microphone in the ring. Wylde stands tall above an unconscious Skails and begins to speak.)

Wylde- Don’t worry, Big Skails! It really isn’t your fault you suck! Wait yes it is AHAHA!!! Anyway! You can’t beat me! For only I am the best bad guy GCW has ever seen. And I am the best bad guy GCW will ever see! Skails, Don’t take it the wrong way! I mean you were only beaten by the best in the damn business!!! So take that as a compliment!!!

(Wylde drops the microphone as the crowd fills with boos. Wylde is handed his T.V. Championship title belt as he leaves the ring. Wylde looks at the crowd and spins around and walks backwards up the ramp taunting the crowd on the way.)

Bryan- What a contest! Big Skails gave it a great effort, but Wylde is just too much! Who on earth is going to stop Jeff Wylde, Dave?

Yale- I’ll tell you who could stop Jeff Wylde! The winner of tonight’s Rampage tournament! And we’re about to head to ringside for the first semi-final contest!

Back to Top





(Black Jesus cues up, and Jonny Montano emerges onto the stage. He stares out at the crowd for a few moments, attempting to interpret the rather mixed yet enthusiastic reaction from the fans. After a moment he strolls down to the ring, adjusting his elbow pad on the way.)

Andrews- The following contest is a semi-final match in the Rampage tournament! Introducing first, from Guadalajara, Mexico, he weighs in at 197 pounds… Jonny Montano!

Bryan- Well, Montano has a bit of momentum going in to tonight’s tournament, but in reality, the playing field is incredibly even! It’s tough to pick a winner, tonight, Dave!

Yale- But it doesn’t matter! I’ve already got a pick! And Dave, my money is on Michael Stevens! Spitfire’s going all the way tonight!

(Montano reaches the ring, and hops up onto the apron. With one fluid motion, he hops over the top rope, and pulls himself up onto the second turnbuckle. From here, he stares out at the fans, who are still greeting him with a mixture of boos and cheers. Black Jesus fades out, as Montano remains on the turnbuckle. It’s Only the End plays, and the crowd instantly becomes fully hot and angry, as the sadistic Bryan Mayhem emerges from backstage. With an expressionless face, Mayhem walks slowly to the ring, his eyes locked on Montano.)

Andrews- And his opponent, from Belmontshire, England, and weighing in at 326 pounds… ‘The Lunatic’ Bryan Mayhem!

Bryan- But it’s hard to bet against this guy, JB! I mean, after all, he’s the biggest man in the tournament, and he’s proven to be the most sadistic! After what he’s done to Demented, I’m not sure I’d ever want to come close to the Lunatic.

Yale- Yeah, he’s my other pick!

Bryan- You can’t have two picks, Dave.

Yale- Well, I do!

(The Lunatic stops short of the ring, and pulls off his shirt. However, as he tosses it aside, Montano leaps over the top rope from his turnbuckle perch, and lands on Mayhem with a cross body! The music stops and the bell rings, as the crowd cheers this sudden assault.)

Bryan- And things are underway! Montano came right off the top with a big cross body, taking the big man down! But Mayhem gets back to his feet, and follows a fleeing Montano into the ring! Montano slides in, and hits the ropes on the other side!

Yale- Mayhem climbs into the ring, and gets to his feet just in time to take a spinning heel kick from Montano! Mayhem staggers back into the turnbuckle, and Montano stays right on him! Montano begins hammering away at Mayhem’s skull with a series of unrelenting right hands!

Bryan- But Mayhem finally has enough, and gives Montano a big shove out of the corner! Montano flips over, and rolls to his feet! Mayhem charges out of the corner, but Montano sidesteps him, and takes him down with a drop toe hold, sending Mayhem face first into the bottom turnbuckle!

Yale- Great move! I told you, JB, I’m picking Montano!

Bryan- But you-

Yale- Montano gets to his feet, and drops a quick leg over Mayhem’s neck! Montano finally drops, and covers! ONE! TWO! But Mayhem kicks out with authority, shooting Montano all the way up to his feet! Montano simply shrugs, and drops another leg!

Bryan- Montano is really taking it to the big man here, as he drags Mayhem out of the corner to the center of the ring. Montano finally turns around, and heads for the corner! Montano begins to climb up the turnbuckle, but Mayhem is rising!

Yale- Montano gets to the top, and soars back with a moonsault! But Mayhem catches Montano over his shoulder, spins around, and drives him straight down with an amazing sidewalk slam!

(The crowd oohs at the impact, as Mayhem drives the smaller man into the mat with incredible force.)

Bryan- And Mayhem makes a cover! This could do it right here! ONE! TWO! THR- NO! Montano somehow is able to find a back door, and get a shoulder up. And Mayhem can’t believe it!

Yale- Doesn’t matter! My pick, Bryan Mayhem, is in control now!

Bryan- But you just said that-

Yale- Mayhem lifts Montano to his feet, and sends him into the ropes! Montano bounces back, and Mayhem scoops him up, and drops him into a tilt-a-whirl back breaker!

Bryan- Big powerful move there by the Lunatic, who is now using his size advantage to take control of this match! Mayhem picks Montano back up to his feet with ease, and tosses him easily into the corner!

Yale- Mayhem is so big and powerful, he’s got to win this thing! The Lunatic backs up a few paces, and launches himself in on Montano with a big clothesline! Montano slumps down to the mat, but Mayhem pulls him back to the corner!

Bryan- Mayhem has really slowed down the pace of this match, and he’s being very deliberate in his offense! Mayhem rears back, and lays in a huge forearm to the side of Montano’s jaw!

Yale- The Lunatic finally pulls Montano out, and beals him ALL THE WAY across the ring! WOW! Mayhem literally launched Montano clear across the ring there! Montano scrambles to his feet, but Mayhem charges in and takes him down with a clothesline!

Bryan- Montano finally decides to head for lower ground, and he rolls out of the ring to the floor! Mayhem goes to give chase, but the referee stops him cold! Mayhem begins to argue, as Montano catches a free break on the outside!

Yale- Mayhem finally shoves the referee out of the way, and ducks through the ropes! But Montano somehow comes to life, and leaps up with a big standing sidekick to Mayhem’s face! The Lunatic is stunned, as he hangs out through the middle and top ropes!

Bryan- Montano springs back up to the apron, and leaps up high! And he drops a big leg over the back of Mayhem’s head, crushing his neck over the middle rope! Great resourceful move there by Montano!

Yale- The Lunatic collapses back into the ring, and Montano pulls himself up to the top turnbuckle! Mayhem slowly gets to his feet, and spins around, only to catch a big missile dropkick from Montano off the top!

Bryan- Mayhem goes down, and Montano is back in control! Montano pulls the big man back up to his feet, and brings him over to the turnbuckle! Montano is barely able to lift Mayhem up to the top rope, before stepping out to the apron!

Yale- What’s he doing here? Montano climbs up behind Mayhem, and sits up on his shoulders, facing the ring!

(The crowd watches with curiosity, as Montano suddenly spins around, and flips down, bringing Mayhem down to the canvas with a Dragonsteiner!)

Bryan- WOW! What a move by Montano! A Dragonstenier on the Lunatic! Montano dives down to cover! ONE! TWO! THREE!!! NO! Somehow, Mayhem is able to kick out of that one!

Yale- Amazing! That’s why he’s my pick, JB! Montano can’t believe it, as he lifts Mayhem back to his feet! Montano moves Mayhem into the corner again, and once again lifts him onto the top turnbuckle!

Bryan- Montano steps back out to the apron, and climbs up behind Mayhem! Once again he sits up on his shoulders, facing the ring! But wait, this time Mayhem is ready for him! He grabs on to Montano’s belt, and Montano is trapped!

(Montano, caught, begins firing off right hands to Mayhem’s skull. However, Mayhem rises to his feet on the turnbuckle, pulling Montano all the way up over his shoulders, and bringing him down with an amazing sitting inverted powerbomb, driving Montano face first into the mat from the top rope!! The crowd explodes with a ‘Holy Shit!’ chant following the impact.)

Yale- GOOD GOD!

Bryan- Bryan Mayhem just drove Jonny Montano face first into the mat with an electric chair drop from the top rope! What a move! And that will do it for Montano’s hopes of winning the Rampage tournament, because this thing is over!

Yale- And my pick, Bryan Mayhem, is advancing!

(Mayhem, woozy, turns to cover Montano.)

Bryan- ONE! TWO!! THREE!!!

(Somehow, Montano is able to kick out! The crowd explodes with incredulous cheers, as Mayhem slaps the mat in anger.)

Bryan- NO! Montano kicked out! How the hell did he do that?!

Yale- Damnit!

Bryan- The Lunatic is fuming here, as he simply can’t understand how Montano kicked out! Mayhem pulls Montano up to his feet, and takes him by the arm! Mayhem sends Montano into the ropes, and catches him on the way back with a huge powerslam!

Yale- That’s got to do it! But Mayhem isn’t going for the pin! Mayhem reaches down and lifts Montano up once again, taking him by the arm! But this time, Montano drops to his knees, crawling trough Mayhem’s legs to the other side!

Bryan- And he’s still got the arm hooked! Mayhem hunches over and spins around, as Montano backs up… MEXICAN REVOLUTION! GOOD GOD WHAT A KICK! Montano saw an opening, and connected with that huge twirling kick to the face!

Yale- NO!!

Bryan- Montano drops down, and hooks the leg!

(The crowd counts along, as the referee counts One, Two… THREE!!)

Bryan- MONTANO Wins It!

(Black Jesus plays again, as Montano rolls out of the ring, dropping to the floor in pain. The crowd now gives him a fully supportive response for the victory.)

Andrews- Here is your winner, and advancing to the finals… Jonny Montano!

Yale- See? I TOLD you Montano was going to win!

Bryan- Well, Jonny Montano has picked up a big win here in our opening bout, and now Jonny Montano will face either Toxic or Michael Stevens later on tonight in the finals!

Back to Top






(Montano’s arm is raised on the outside, as Montano casually slaps hands with a few fans. As Montano painfully heads for the back, the camera cuts backstage where Kevin Jacobs is seen with The Jhub. The crowd explodes as they see the US Champ with his title slung around his shoulder.)

Jacobs- Jhub, are you aware of the fact that tonight you-

(The Jhub then takes the microphone from Kevin Jacobs as the crowd cheers again.)

Jhub- Kevin….just go. Every wrestler in the GCW beats you around like a red-headed step child, therefore making me susceptible to doing the same… Just go, that way you will be spared.

(Jacobs looks at The Jhub then sprints off.)

Jhub- Damn……look at those Tsunami waves jiggle as tons of fun runs!

(The Jhub then looks back at the camera and smiles.)

Jhub- Ah…tonight, right here in Dallas, MOTHER F*CKIN’ TEXAS….

(The Jhub pauses for a cheap pop.)

Jhub- You people will see the greatest GCW US Champ defend, and retain, his title against the Natural Born Killer.

(The crowd gives another pop for mentioning the native Texan’s name.)

Jhub- Some of you will not like what you see. Others, will love what they see. Parents, I recommend taking your children and shielding their eyes. Those of you who are pregnant, diabetic, suffer from heart or liver problems, or history of mental illness, also known as Pete Syndrome, please turn off your television set now, or leave the premises. The GCW or The Jhub will not be responsible for any damages incurred on your personal being. Now you ask me, "Why Jhub, why should I turn off my TV"…I say this, take it this way, if you’ve ever seen a man fall of a building, and go splat on the ground…this match actually won’t compare, I’m just bullshitting you. But no, this will be a match never to forget. Tonight, live from the new Mecca of sports entertainment (pauses for a cheap pop), The Jhub will deliver the ass-kicking faster than Pete eats a pizza! In Dallas, I will be the master of my domain, that domain being the best technical, best hardcore….aw hell, the best damn wrestler in GCW!

(The Jhub then drops the mic as the camera cuts to the ring. The current brackets appear on screen, following the first semi-final match.)

Bryan- Well, fans, moments ago we saw Jonny Montano defeat the much larger Bryan Mayhem to advance to the finals!

Yale- And he was my pick all along!

Bryan- But I thought you said Michael Stevens was going all the way.

Yale- He is, that’s right! Spitfire is about to take on Toxic, and though I hate to bet against Toxic, I have to go with my gut and put my money on Stevens!

Back to Top

(Motivation begins to boom throughout the American Airlines Center, as Toxic emerges onto the stage. The crowd greets him with a generous layer of boos, though Toxic ignores them and confidently walks to the ring.)

Andrews- The following contest is the second semi-final match in the Rampage Tournament! Introducing first, from San Jose, California, he weighs in at 295 pounds… Toxic!

Bryan- Well, Toxic has come a long way since he began with GCW, and tonight he’s hoping to prove that he’s the best young star in GCW by winning the Rampage tournament!

Yale- But to do that, he’s going to have to get by both my pick, Michael Stevens, and Jonny Montano!

(Toxic reaches the ring, and easily steps over the top rope. He raises both arms into the air, eliciting even more boos from the crowd. His music slowly fades out, and Lust for Life replaces it. More boos emerge from the crowd, as Michael Stevens emerges onto the stage.)

Andrews- And his opponent, from Greenwich, Connecticut, he weighs in at 237 pounds… Michael ‘Spitfire’ Stevens!

Bryan- Well, Stevens is without Sheena here tonight per the requirements of this tournament, as nobody is allowed at ringside! But he seems confident enough, as well he should be. After all, the wrestling genius David Yale has him picked to win it all!

Yale- Damn right, JB!

(Stevens reaches the ring, and steps through the ropes. Toxic glares at him from across the ring, as Stevens slowly removes his entrance attire. His music slowly fades out, and the bell sounds.)

Bryan- And here we go! Stevens and Toxic move to the center of the ring, and tie up! Toxic may be the more powerful of the two, and he’s showing it as he backs Stevens into the corner!

Yale- The referee asks for a clean break, and Toxic backs away! But Stevens explodes out of the corner without warning, taking Toxic down with a clothesline! Toxic slowly gets back to his feet, but Stevens is waiting with right hands!

Bryan- Stevens pummels Toxic back into the corner, before unloading with a series of big boots to the gut. Stevens finally pulls Toxic out of the corner, shooting him off into the opposite corner! Toxic hits hard, and Stevens follows him in with a big clothesline!

Yale- Stevens hits Toxic hard, and shoots Toxic off into the opposite corner once more! Toxic hits hard, and again Stevens charges in! But this time Toxic steps out of the corner, hitting Stevens in the face with a big boot to take Spitfire down!

Bryan- Stevens scrambles back to his feet, as Toxic moves him into the corner and unleashes big rights and lefts to the face! Stevens tries to cover up, but he’s getting pummeled in the corner!

Yale- Stevens finally is able to break out of the corner, but Toxic pursues him! Toxic trails him to the center of the ring, where he rears back and floors Stevens with a big right hand! Stevens goes down, and Toxic drops a big elbow!

Bryan- Toxic gets back to his feet, and pulls Stevens back up as well. Toxic takes Stevens by the head, and forces him face first into the turnbuckle! Stevens bounces out, and Toxic blasts him with another big lariat!

Yale- See? My pick Toxic is really taking it to Stevens here!

Bryan- But- Oh well. Toxic picks Stevens up to his feet once more, but Stevens reaches up and delivers a rake to the eyes! The official warns Stevens about the shortcut, but Stevens ignores him and drops Toxic with a scoop slam!

Yale- Stevens drops down, and slaps on a reverse chinlock. Good move here by my pick to win it all, Michael Stevens! Keep the big man off his feet! Stevens cinches in, as Toxic reaches out for the ropes!

Bryan- But Stevens has some excellent ring positioning here, holding Toxic in the center of the ring! Toxic finally turns around, trying to slip his way up to a vertical base once again! But Stevens is still holding on to that chinlock!

Yale- Toxic is powering his way to his feet here, though Stevens refuses to release the hold! Stevens finally mounts Toxic’s back, as Toxic gets all the way to his feet, pulling Stevens up with him!

Bryan- Stevens is still holding on, but Toxic finally charges backwards into the corner, flattening Stevens in the turnbuckle, and escaping the hold! Toxic staggers out of the corner, but Stevens rushes out, slapping on a sleeper hold from behind!

Yale- Sleeper! Good move on the big man! Toxic once again rushes backwards into the corner, flattening Spitfire, but Stevens holds on tight, as the big man finally collapses to a knee!

Bryan- Stevens holds on tight, as Toxic slowly begins to fade! Stevens could have him here! Toxic looks to be out, and the referee moves to check! He raises the arm, and it falls! Again… it falls! That’s two!

Yale- One more, and Stevens moves on! The referee raises Toxic’s arm… But Toxic is able to keep it up! Toxic is still alive! Toxic begins to power his way up to his feet, yet Spitfire still clings to his neck!

Bryan- Toxic finally manages to spin around, and hoist Stevens up, before dropping him right into a big inverted atomic drop! Stevens is forced to release the hold, and Toxic runs back into the ropes! He charges in, and takes Spitfire down with a shoulder block!

Yale- Stevens is hurting now, as Toxic hits the ropes again! Stevens nips up to his feet, and leaps over Toxic! Toxic hits the other side, and bounces back to catch a PERFECT dropkick to the face from Stevens!

Bryan- Wow! Great execution by Michael Stevens! Stevens hops over and hooks the leg… ONE! TWO! THR- Kickout by Toxic! Stevens argues the count, but Toxic is still alive.

Yale- Stevens gets back to his feet, and backs away as Toxic revives himself. Toxic gets to his feet, and Stevens charges in with a running knee, sending Toxic right back down to the mat. Stevens drops down, and turns Toxic over into a half crab!

Bryan- Half Boston Crab here by Stevens, once again looking for the submission! But Toxic isn’t about to give up, I don’t think! Toxic screams out in pain, before reaching out as far as he can for the ropes! But Spitfire has him just far enough away!

Yale- Toxic is just inches away from the ropes… He can get a finger on it, but he can’t grab hold! Toxic finally places his hands on the mat, and pushes himself up, trying to gain some leverage!

Bryan- Spitfire does his best to fight it, but Toxic manages to inch just a little bit closer, and grab hold of the ropes! Stevens finally collapses to the mat, unable to hold on any longer.

Yale- Toxic’s back has got to be in a great deal of pain now, however, as he slowly pulls himself up by the ropes! Spitfire moves in and grabs hold of Toxic, turning him over into a big back breaker!

Bryan- Toxic hits the mat, and Stevens covers! ONE! TWO! THR- NO! Toxic kicks out! Stevens is getting rather frustrated here, as he picks Toxic up again, and sends him into the ropes!

Yale- Toxic bounces back, and ducks a lariat from Stevens! Toxic hits the other side, and this time ducks a big heel kick! He hits the opposite ropes once more, and this time takes off with a big flying shoulder block, connecting with Spitfire’s jaw!

Bryan- Big explosive move from Toxic! Stevens scrambles back to his feet, but Toxic sends him down with a big clothesline! Spitfire gets to his feet again, and this time Toxic scoops him up, and powers him into a big guerilla press!

Yale- Great display of power here by my pick, Toxic! Toxic finally drops Spitfire over his shoulder, and drives him into the mat with a sidewalk slam! What a great move!

Bryan- Stevens has been floored, and Toxic is in control once again! Toxic picks Stevens back up, and launches him into the corner! Toxic scoops Stevens up onto the top turnbuckle, and climbs to the top!

Yale- Wow, they’re still climbing! Toxic hooks Stevens, and brings him all the way up to the top rope! He brings Stevens down, and moves himself on top of Stevens in mid-air, landing with a cross body from the top!!

Bryan- But wait, Stevens rolls through, hooking Toxic’s leg! ONE! TWO!! THREE!!! He got him!

(The bell rings, as Lust for Life cues up once more. The crowd instantly begins to boo, as Stevens makes a hasty exit from the ring. Toxic springs to his feet and gives chase, giving up once he realizes that Stevens has exited the ring. The referee catches up with Spitfire and raises his hand, as Toxic kicks the turnbuckle in anger.)

Andrews- Here is your winner, Michael ‘Spitfire’ Stevens!

Bryan- Michael Stevens steals one from Toxic here with a very clever pinning predicament, and he’ll move on to face Jonny Montano in the finals!

Yale- See?! I picked Stevens, and he’s moving on!

Bryan- Yeah, well, you’re one for one tonight, we’ll just have to wait and see who comes out on top!

(Stevens, smiling, heads to the backstage area, while Toxic shouts at the referee in the ring. The cameras head backstage, and find Jonny Montano standing in front of a monitor. He watches the conclusion of the match with great interest, before Kevin Jacobs approaches him.)

Jacobs- Jonny Montano, you’ve just witnessed Michael Stevens defeat Toxic, meaning it will be you and Spitfire in the finals of the Rampage tournament here tonight.

Montano- To be honest, Kevin, it didn’t really matter who won that match. I could have beaten Toxic, instead I’ll beat Spitfire. Either way, this is my night. My name is Jonny Montano, damnit, and I’m going to destroy that yanquis piece of crap!

(Montano confidently walks away, heading to prepare for the finals. The camera heads to another area of the arena, where Michael Stevens stands recovering from his match. Sheena stands at his side, offering him a cup of water, as he catches his breath from his match.)

Sheena- Here, drink this. You need your strength.

Stevens- Don’t worry about it, Sheena, this is my night. I came to GCW to make an impact, and tonight I’m going to do it. Jonny Montano isn’t going to stand in my way, no matter what his name is. After tonight, nobody will forget the name of Michael Stevens.

(Sheena nods, and offers him the water once more. Stevens gulps down the cold liquid, as the cameras heads back to ringside, where the brackets flash again.)

Bryan- Well, fans, there you have it. Michael Stevens to take on Jonny Montano in the finals! And what a contest that is going to be!

Yale- Well, my pick all along has been Stevens, and he’s in the finals! Just one more match, JB, and then I’m right!

Bryan- But Jonny Montano might have something to say about that, Dave! It should be a classic battle! Let’s head back to ringside!

Back to Top





Andrews-Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall.

("Boogieman" hits as LeStatt Knight heads to the ring.)

Andrews-Now coming to the ring, from Mexico City, Mexico, weighing 245 pounds, LeStatt Knight!

Bryan-Knight and Payne have really been at each others throats the past few weeks.

Yale-And it recently exploded a few days ago when Payne and Knight confronted each other.

(Payne's music hits.)

Andrews-And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Rancid, weighing in at 220 pounds, he is Payne!

(Rancid leads the way to the ring and Payne stares down Knight before actually stepping into the ring.)

Bryan-Both men circling each other slowly here, sizing each other up.

Yale-And a smart move too! This is not the time to be going off half-cocked! The world is watching and both men need to take it slowly here.

Bryan-And they finally lock up in the center of the ring. Neither man gaining a clear advantage as of yet.

Yale-But it looks like Knight is getting the upper hand as he backs Payne into the corner. And the ref is getting between them.

Bryan-And a clean break by Knight! I never thought I'd see that! He's actually backing off.

Yale-And Payne explodes out of the corner with a clothesline! But Knight saw it coming and ducks! And both men are back in the center of the ring, and the staredown has resumed.

Bryan-Payne holds a hand up and is asking for a test of strength. Knight complies and there's one hand locked in, and now the other. Knight plays dirty and kicks Payne in the midsection! And now hammers down with a forearm
across the back of Payne!

Yale-And Knight takes him all the way down to the mat. He starts stomping away now, and Payne tries to roll out under the bottom rope, but Knight kicks him again. This time in the head.

Bryan-Pulls him back into the ring and whips him off the ropes, and nails him with a hiptoss. Payne is back up to his feet, and Knight catches him with another hiptoss! And Payne is back to his feet and charges Knight only to get tossed again.

Yale-And this time Payne rolls out of the ring and gets over to confer with Rancid! But look out, Knight runs across the ring and climbs up to the top rope and wipes out both men with a suicide dive to the floor!

Bryan-Payne and Rancid go down, and Knight took something out of himself as well. But Knight is back up to his feet and he grabs Payne and tosses him back in the ring.

Yale-Payne struggling to his feet and Knight just nailed him with a nice side kick, and Payne goes right back down.

Bryan-Knight stays right on him and pulls him back to his feet. Knight unloads with a wicked right hand, and backs Payne into the ropes again. Sends him across, and nails him with a clothesline.

Yale-Rancid is getting to his feet on the oustside, and he sees the situation his man is in.

Bryan-He got up just in time to see Knight drop that elbow. Knight pulls Payne to his feet and takes him over with a snap suplex! He rolls over into a cover. One, two, no! Payne got the shoulder up.

Yale-LeStatt yanks Payne back up to his feet and decks him yet again. Payne is standing on rubber legs here, as Knight nails him again. And now a kick to the midsection, and he follows that up with a DDT.

Bryan-But Knight is just getting started now. He drapes Payne's neck over that second rope and runs across the ring, and he comes charging back and lands right on Payne's back! Choking him on that second rope!

Yale-And now he's sitting on Payne's back pulling up on the rope while exerting pressure on Payne's back! Payne is turning blue!

Bryan-And the referee is issuing a five count making Knight break the hold. Knight lets go, not wanting to let Payne get a DQ win.

Yale-Payne is gasping for air even as Knight backs him into the corner and sets him up on the top rope. Nails him with a couple of right hands. He climbs up now, what's he gonna do?

Bryan-Top rope hurricanrana! Dear God! He tossed Payne almost all the way across the ring with that! Payne may be out of it!

Yale-Knight is over with the cover! One, two, thr--no! Payne just managed to get his shoulder up!

Bryan-And Knight getting in the ref's face about the count, he felt it was too slow! Payne is back up to his feet and I don't think Knight even realizes he's back up!

Yale-Payne grabs Knight from behind and hits a belly-to-back suplex sending Knight out over the top rope! Knight hits the floor hard!

Bryan-And Payne distracting the referee while Rancid comes over and starts kicking the hell out of Knight!

Yale-And now Payne coming out to do the dirty work himself! He grabs Knight and slams his face off those steel steps! And one more time! Knight is reeling!

Bryan-Payne rams Knight shoulder first into the barricade, and they're over by the ramp now, and the referee is being very lenient here.

Yale-And Payne just suplexed Knight on the steel ramp! And you can see the pain etched on Knight's face!

Bryan-The referee is telling Payne to take it back to the ring. And Payne whips Knight towards the ring and Knight hits chest first before falling to the floor again. Payne comes over and starts stomping on Knight.

Yale-He pulls Knight back up to his feet and tosses him back in the ring, and now he's going upstairs. From the top rope Payne jumps and hits a legdrop! He goes for the cover! One, two, three--No! So close. Knight somehow managed to kick out from all that abuse he just took!

Bryan-Payne is now arguing over the count! He turns and sees Knight getting to his feet and charges Knight! He takes him over with a spinning headscissors! Knight tumbles to a heap in the corner!

Yale-And Payne once again distracts the referee as Rancid comes over and starts choking Knight!

Bryan-But the ref sees it and he comes over to admonish Rancid, but meanwhile Payne is taking off that turnbuckle pad in the other corner!

Yale-And there's the exposed steel. He's going back after Knight. He wants to make LeStatt Knight bleed!

Bryan-Here's the whip, but Knight reverses and sends Payne into the exposed steel instead!

Yale-But he hit back first! He staggers back out towards Knight and gets taken over in a belly to belly suplex! And Knight goes for a cover! One, two, thr--No! Payne kicked out.

Bryan-And now Knight has taken back over. He and Payne are back on their feet, and Knight unloads with a chop!

Crowd-Whoo!

Bryan-And there's another one!

Crowd-Whoo!

Bryan-And a third!

Crowd-Whoo!

Yale-And Knight takes Payne over to that exposed steel in the corner and rams his head into it!

Bryan-The face of Payne smashed into that steel ring support in the corner! And Payne is busted open!

Yale-Knight has drawn first blood in this match! Payne's head got opened up by that steel!

Bryan-And now Knight pounding away on that cut! Driving Payne down to the mat!

Yale-Payne looks to be out of it here! But wait! Payne with a low blow!

Bryan-And the referee never saw it! Rancid was up on the apron distracting the referee!

Yale-And Knight is really in pain now!

Bryan-Payne is pulling himself back up as Knight staggers backwards, and Payne waits for Knight to turn around before hitting a spear!

Yale-He nearly took Knight out of his boots with that move! Payne now straddling Knight and nailing him in the forehead!

Bryan-He's got him back on his feet now and is setting him up on the top rope. He's going up after him now, and looks to be setting him up for a superplex! And he nailed it!

Yale-Look at Knight! His eyes are glazed over! I don't think he knows where he is!

Bryan-Payne is heading over to the prone Knight and pulls Knight up to his knees! He just yelled in his face, although I can't make out what he said.

Yale-He comes rebounding off the ropes and hit a dropkick on the kneeling Knight knocking him back down! He's picking Knight up now and nails him with a powerbomb! There's a cover! One, two and no, Knight managed to put his foot on the ropes.

Bryan-He was just close enough to the ropes and had the presence of mind to put his foot up. He avoids the three count. And Payne stays on the attack now, taking Knight to the center of the ring with a hurricanrana! He tries for another cover! One, two, three--No! Knight just managed to get his shoulder up!

Yale-Payne takes Knight over with a snapmare and locks in a headlock! The referee checks it, as Payne wrenches down with the hold. And Knight may be fading. The referee is checking Knight's arm.

Bryan-It drops once, it drops twice, and it drops--no! Knight is fighting back! He's fighting back to his feet, and there's an elbow to Payne, and another, and another makes Payne release the hold!

Yale-Knight rebounds off the rope but Payne lifts the knee right into the midsection of Knight and Knight goes back down hard.

Bryan-Payne heads up to the top rope now and waits for Knight to get back to his feet. Payne leaps, and--wait! Knight just pulled the referee in front of him and Payne just nailed the ref with a missile dropkick! The referee is out cold!

Yale-And Knight grabs Payne and hits the KnightFall! He goes for the cover but there's no ref!

Bryan-Knight's own move foiled him as well! He can't win the match with no referee. He's had Payne down for at least a six or seven count!

Yale-He finally realizes what's going on! He goes over to revive the ref and Rancid is getting in the ring! Knight doesn't see him!

Bryan-Rancid with a forearm to the back of Knight! And Knight stands up and stares down Rancid!

Yale-Knight fixes Rancid with an evil glare! He grabs Rancid!

Bryan-And listen to this crowd Dave! They want Knight to hit Rancid!

Yale-But he's just a manager!

Bryan-A manager who got physically involved in a match! And Knight sets him up! KNIGHTFALL! KnightFall to Rancid. And now Knight is going up to the top rope!

Yale-He's not going to do what I think he's gonna do! Is he?

Bryan-Yes he is! Knightyme to Rancid! Knight hits Rancid with the Knightyme!

Yale-But in the meantime, Payne's rolled out of the ring and he's got a chair! And Knight just tossed Rancid over the top rope!

Bryan-He's got no idea that Payne is behind him with that chair! Payne just slid into the ring and is laying in wait for Knight!

Yale-Knight turns around...(CLANG!)...and he just got laid out by Payne with that chair!

Bryan-And that shot busted Knight open! Both men are bleeding now! Payne just tossed the chair down and he's grabbing Knight.

Yale-Both Rancid and the referee are still out!

Bryan-Payne grabs LeStatt's arm and bends it behind his back and wrenches it up to Knight's shoulder, now he's taking his other arm and clamping it across his throat, he's holding Knight still, choking him out! Knight is gasping for air! Payne is now lifting him up in a suplex like move. Oh my God! He just dropped Knight on his head!

Yale-He calls that a Lesson in Payne! And he's setting up Knight for another one! There it is!

Bryan-If he keeps this up he could break Knight's neck! He's setting him up for yet another one! He's trying to kill Knight here! A Lesson in Payne onto the chair! That chair was still in the ring and Payne just dropped Knight headfirst onto it!

Yale-He throws the chair out of the ring as the referee comes to. He's going for a cover now. The ref crawls over! One, two, three! Payne wins!

Bryan-Payne picks up his first win here in GCW! But he had the help of a chair shot and three of those Lessons in Payne!

Yale-A win is a win, JB!

Andrews-Ladies and gentlemen here is your winner, Payne!

Bryan-Let's take one more look at the end of this thing folks.

(Bryan and Yale recount the KnightFall and Knightyme to Rancid, the chairshot from Payne, and the three Lessons in Payne, including the last one onto the chair before returning to live action.)

Yale-Payne is helping a groggy Rancid to his feet. He's bruised, he's bleeding and he's battered but he's the winner.

Bryan-And Knight has yet to move. Payne may have very well broken his neck! And look at Payne as he makes his way up the ramp. He's smiling at Knight! A sadistic evil grin!

Yale-Knight's starting to stir and he seems to be okay!

Bryan-Don't you fans don't go anywhere! We've got more great action to come here tonight on Rampage. Including the street fight between President Caldera and the former world champion Octavian, and the last man standing world title match between the champion Tristain Mayhem and challenger Jason Dread!

Back to Top





(The cameras head backstage, and find President Caldera standing with Kevin Jacobs. Caldera is clad in his ring attire, and looks ready to wrestle. The crowd cheers tremendously as they see him on the MegaTron.)

Jacobs- President Caldera, tonight you face Octavian in a street fight. How-

Caldera- No, you’re already wrong, Kevin. Tonight, President Caldera will not be wrestling. Steven Caldera, former six time world champion, is fighting Octavian. Steven Caldera, the man who went from nothing to everything in a year and a half, who took a small time job in a small time promotion, and turned his career into the nationwide powerhouse of GCW, is facing Octavian. Octavian was the most dominant GCW champion of all time, I can’t take that away from him. But I am the best damn promoter, and the best damn wrestler there ever was! And tonight, Gaius, you’re going to find out why.

(Caldera storms out of view, as Jacobs watches him depart. He nods back at the camera, and the shot heads back to ringside. Don’t Touch Me begins throughout the arena, and the crowd begins to laugh and giggle. Pete, Jason, and Bob all appear onto the stage, huddled together as they head for the ring.)

Andrews- The following contest is set for one fall, and is a handicap match for the GCW Hard*core championship! Introducing first, at a combined weight of 674 pounds… Pete, Jason, and Bob R. Robertson!

Bryan- Well, this one right here could very well be classic as well, as we’ve got Pete, Jason, and Bob taking on the core of Hard*core, Toad!

Yale- Yeah, well, Toad may be a nine-time champion, but Pete held it once, and he could do it again!

(The three men all roll into the ring, though Pete takes several moments to wedge himself through the ropes. Don’t Touch Me fades out, and Out With The Old replaces it. The crowd explodes with a massive chorus of cheers, as the Hard*core champion Toad walks briskly to the ring.)

Andrews- And their opponent, from Biloxi, Mississippi, he weighs in at 310 pounds… the Hard*core champion, Toad!

Yale- I really hate this guy!

Bryan- Well, Toad is on his own here against three men, but I think Pete, Jason, and Bob are the underdogs!

(Toad slides into the ring, and immediately clotheslines Jason and Bob to the mat. The bell rings, as Toad eyes Pete.)

Bryan- And here we go! Toad isn’t wasting any time at all! Pete immediately tries to escape, but he’s having trouble fitting through the ropes! Toad grabs Pete, and pulls him to the center of the ring!

Yale- Toad bends Pete over… Ugh, THAT isn’t a sight I want to see again for a LONG time!

Bryan- TOAD SLAM! Toad hits the Toad Slam on Pete, as Bob gets to his feet! Bob rushes Toad, but Toad picks Bob up into a guerilla press, and drops him on top of Pete! Bob is out cold, as Jason rushes Toad from behind!

Yale- Toad sees him coming, scoops him up, and slams him down on top of Bob and Pete! All three men are in a heap here, as Toad heads for the corner! Don’t tell me he's going to do what I think he’s gonna do!

Bryan- Toad climbs to the top, swivels his hips, and takes off! TOAD JAM! Big splash on top of all three men, and Toad simply stays on top for the cover! ONE! TWO! THREE!!!

(The bell sounds, and Out With the Old plays again. The crowd cheers for Toad’s squash, as he is handed his title belt.)

Andrews- Here is your winner, and still GCW Hard*core champion… Toad!

Yale- Well, I guess we should have expected that!

(Toad turns around, and mounts the turnbuckle to present his title to the crowd. The three men in the ring still remain in a heap, one on top of the other. However, from the back, Luke Hanson suddenly appears! The crowd cheers him on as he rushes to the ring, and slides in behind Toad.)

Bryan- And Luke Hanson is here! He was suspended a few weeks ago, but I guess he’s back to celebrate with his fellow System-X member!

(Toad turns around, and smiles as he spots Hanson. However, Hanson kicks Toad in the gut, underhooks the arms, and plants Toad in a monster DeFueler!)

Yale- WHAT?!

Bryan- What the hell!? Hanson just hit Toad with DeFueler!

(The crowd instantly begins to boo, totally confounded by Hanson’s assault. Hanson grabs the departing official, and pulls him back to the fallen Toad.)

Bryan- Hanson has grabbed the official, and he covers Toad! ONE! TWO! THREE?! Hanson just pinned Toad, and he’s the new Hard*core champion! What the hell did he do that for?!

Yale- I don’t know, but I like it!

(Hanson simply snatches the Hard*core belt off of the mat, leaving Toad lying next to Pete, Jason, and Bob. Hanson steps out of the ring, as the fans boo and taunt him all the way up the ramp. Fuel hits, as Hanson marches back to the exit.)

Bryan- Why in the hell did Luke Hanson assault Toad like that? He gave Toad DeFueler, and then stole the Hard*core title right away from him! I don’t believe it!

Yale- This is great! Hanson finally came to his senses!

(Hanson makes it to the top of the ramp, and exits without a second glance. The official helps Toad to his feet, as Toad angrily mutters to himself. As Hanson disappears, a double feature plays a replay of Hanson sliding into the ring behind Toad, and delivering DeFueler.)

Bryan- I just don’t understand what’s gotten in to Luke Hanson! He destroyed our ring crew which lead to his suspension a while back, and now he’s assaulted his fellow System-X member, Toad!

Yale- See? System-X has never been able to keep it together, JB! Never!

Back to Top





(The cameras head backstage, as the ring is cleared. Octavian stands tall next to Kevin Jacobs, and the crowd boos as they spot his image on the MegaTron. Octavian is dressed in elaborate golden ring attire, prepared for his match.)

Jacobs- Octavian, in just a few moments, you meet Steven Caldera in a street fight. However, as Mr. Danger retired on Meltdown last Thursday, the picture looks a little different now-

Octavian- What’s different? Tell me that! There is nothing different. The only thing that has changed is that now, when I destroy Caldera, GCW will belong to me, and only me! It will be my own private Empire, ruled solely for my benefit. And don’t give me that look of disgust, Pudgeball. After all, Caldera has been doing the exact same thing for ten months now. The only difference is, he is weak, and the people cheer for him! They may hate me, Kevin, but they only hate me for my strength. And tonight, after Caldera is finished off once and for all, GCW will belong to me, and only me.

(Octavian walks away from Jacobs, the golden metal of his overcoat jingling with every step. The cameras then head back to ringside. A ladder now rests near the end of the entrance ramp, just outside of the ring. The cameras focus up above the ring, to see the US title hanging high.)

Andrews- The following contest is a ladder match for the GCW United States Championship!

(Unforgiven blasts into the American Airlines Center, and the crowd instantly begins to boo. NBK appears onto the stage, and heads for the ring.)

Andrews- Introducing first, from Dallas, Texas…

(NBK’s hometown crowd continues their boos, still hating their companion.)

Andrews- … he weighs in at 265 pounds… Natural Born Killer, NBK!

Bryan- Well, NBK lost the television title to Jeff Wylde last month thanks to the interjection of the Jhub, and ever since these two have been in the midst of constant battles! And tonight, it could very well be all out war!

(NBK walks around the ladder, and climbs up into the ring. He steps up onto the nearest turnbuckle, and opens his arms to the crowd. The crowd sends nothing but boos and jeers back at NBK, who simply flips off his hometown crowd, and steps back into a far corner. My Own Summer hits next, and the crowd explodes with a tremendous explosion of cheers for the Jhub! The Jhub, US missing from his shoulder, emerges onto the stage, and marches to the ring.)

Andrews- And his opponent, from Stamford, Connecticut, he weighs in at 270 pounds, and he is the GCW United States Champion… The Jhub!!

(The Jhub reaches the ring, and steps through the ropes. My Own Summer fades, as the Jhub raises his arms to elicit a loud reaction from the crowd. The referee finally sounds the bell, and the match begins.)

Bryan- And there’s the bell. This should be an incredibly intense matchup, folks! The Jhub and NBK are staring each other down here, just waiting for someone to make the first move! And NBK moves first, connecting with a right hand to the Jhub’s temple!

Yale- Jhub fires back, and we’ve got ourselves a fist fight! The Jhub takes over here, backing NBK into the corner! The Jhub fires off a big right hand, but NBK ducks out of the corner, now pummeling the Jhub with rights of his own!

Bryan- But the Jhub finally rushes out of the corner, taking NBK down with a spear to the mat! The Jhub mounts NBK and begins firing away, but NBK is able to turn the Jhub over and hammer away at him! The two men finally roll over once more, and fall out of the ring to the floor!

Yale- The Jhub rolls out a few feet, and pulls himself up by the guardrail! He walks around the ladder, but NBK has got something under the ring!

(The Jhub approaches NBK, but suddenly a plume of smoke explodes from the ring. The Jhub staggers back and collapses, as NBK stands with a fire extinguisher in his arms.)

Bryan- NBK has a fire extinguisher! The Jhub collapses to the ground, covered in white dust! NBK drops the extinguisher, and folds up the ladder! NBK slides into the ring with the ladder in hand, and begins setting it up under the belt!

Yale- NBK is going for a quick win here, but the Jhub has picked up the extinguisher! NBK has started climbing, but the Jhub aims for NBK, and fires! A huge cloud of that powder explodes into the ring, and NBK can’t see a thing!

Bryan- The Jhub climbs into the ring, and makes a mad dash for the ladder! The Jhub gives it a shove, and NBK falls out of the cloud of dust, landing hard on the mat below! The Jhub heads for NBK and picks him up, tossing him into the ropes!

Yale- NBK bounces back, and the Jhub takes him down with a drop toe hold, sending NBK face first into the ladder! Ouch! The Jhub stays on NBK, pulling him up to his feet!

Bryan- The Jhub lifts NBK up, and drops him into a back breaker! Good move from the Jhub! But the Jhub doesn’t give him a moment’s rest, lifting NBK right back up again! The Jhub steps to his side, and brings him down with a side Russian leg sweep!

Yale- The Jhub finally leaves NBK in the center of the ring, and heads for the fallen ladder! The Jhub grabs the ladder, and turns it upside down, before heading back to NBK! The Jhub steps over NBK, aims the ladder, and brings it down right into his gut!

Bryan- The Jhub brings the ladder up, and gives NBK another shot to the gut! NBK finally curls up into the fetal position, and the Jhub sets the ladder in the turnbuckle! NBK slowly begins getting to his feet, but the Jhub catches him and helps him up!

Yale- The Jhub whips NBK off into the ropes, but NBK reverses! The Jhub hits the ropes, and fires a clothesline! But NBK ducks, and the Jhub hits the other side! The Jhub comes back with another clothesline, but this time NBK ducks, picks the Jhub up, and drops him face first into the ladder in the corner!

Bryan- Wow! And with that, NBK has stopped any semblance of offense from the Jhub! The Jhub lies on the mat, clutching his chin, as NBK pulls himself up in the corner! NBK sees the Jhub standing up in the corner next to the ladder, and charges!

Yale- NBK leaps, but the Jhub ducks out of the way, pulling the ladder out towards NBK! NBK falls face first into the ladder, and he falls to the mat, the ladder landing on top of him! The Jhub moves quickly to the corner, steps onto the second turnbuckle, and flies!

Bryan- And he drops an elbow on the ladder, sandwiching NBK beneath it! But the Jhub hurt himself in the process! The Jhub painfully pulls himself up, as NBK moves the ladder off his chest.

Yale- The Jhub kicks the ladder out of the way, and pulls NBK up to his feet! The Jhub snaps off a hard jab, sending NBK reeling into the corner! The Jhub turns around and picks up the ladder, pulling it up to his chest!

Bryan- The Jhub turns around and charges NBK! But NBK moves out of the corner, meeting the Jhub with a dropkick to the ladder! The Jhub falls under the ladder, and both come crashing to the mat!

Yale- Great counter by NBK! NBK moves the ladder away from the Jhub, and lifts him to his feet! NBK takes the Jhub by the hair, and sends him face first into the turnbuckle. The Jhub drops to a knee, but NBK pulls him up to connect with a big right forearm!

Bryan- And another! NBK is just pummeling the Jhub here! The Jhub finally manages to stagger out of the corner, and NBK picks up the ladder! The Jhub takes a moment to recover in the corner, as NBK hoists the ladder over his shoulder!

Yale- The Jhub turns around, but NBK charges in, sending the top of that ladder right into the Jhub’s face!

(The Jhub’s head snaps back, as he hits the mat with great velocity. The crowd oohs and boos as NBK raises the ladder high into the air in celebration.)

Bryan- That was an incredible move, but NBK needs to get back on the Jhub! NBK finally moves the ladder to the center of the ring, and sets it up under the belt! He turns back to the Jhub, but the Jhub springs up to his feet, taking NBK down with a clothesline!

Yale- The Jhub goes right back down to a knee, and I think he’s busted open! The Jhub finally heads for the ladder, and begins climbing! But NBK is rising again! The Jhub gets about halfway up the ladder, before NBK sees him!

Bryan- NBK moves to the other side of the ladder, and begins to climb! The Jhub is almost to the top, but NBK is climbing quickly! The Jhub finally gets close to the US title belt, but NBK reaches the top and fires off a right hand!

Yale- But the Jhub returns it! NBK finally snaps off a big right, and hooks up the Jhub! Oh, no! NBK reaches around and hoists the Jhub up, bringing him eight feet down to the mat with a suplex off the ladder!!

Bryan- WOW! What a move by NBK! But both men are hurting as a result of that move! Both men lie motionless for a few moments, before NBK begins to move! NBK rolls out of the ring to the floor, and begins searching under the ring!

Yale- He’s got a table! Oh, no, he’s bringing a table into the ring! NBK slides it under the ropes, and climbs back into the ring! The Jhub slowly begins to recover, as NBK sets the table up on our side of the ring.

Bryan- NBK has the table set up, but the Jhub is up behind him! The Jhub grabs NBK from behind with a sleeper hold! But NBK simply rears back, kicking the Jhub right between the legs!

Yale- Great move by NBK! The Jhub hunches over in pain, and NBK plants him with a DDT! The Jhub is out here, as NBK begins to climb the ladder! The Jhub sees him climbing, however, and begins to move!

Bryan- NBK gets halfway up the ladder, before he sees the Jhub moving! NBK finally leaps down with a double axe handle smash to the Jhub’s head, before hooking him up… 38 Special!! .38 Special to the Jhub!

Yale- That came out of nowhere, and the Jhub is out cold! This match is over, JB! NBK looks down at the Jhub, as these idiots here in Dallas begin to boo him out of the arena! NBK just ignores them, and begins scaling the ladder!

Bryan- NBK continues climbing here, and the Jhub is not moving a muscle! NBK reaches upward, and he’s got a finger on the belt! But he needs to go up one more rung! NBK steps up another rung, but the Jhub suddenly kicks out, kicking the ladder as hard as he can!

Yale- And the ladder tips over, sending NBK neck first over the top rope! NBK falls to the mat, but the Jhub is still woozy from that big .38 Special from NBK! The Jhub manages to pull himself up to his knees, and pull the ladder back upright again!

Bryan- The Jhub slowly begins to scale the ladder, but NBK is moving again! This guy is tough, I’ll give him that! The Jhub is climbing very slowly, allowing NBK time to recover! NBK gets to the ladder, and begins climbing the other side!

Yale- NBK finally catches up to the Jhub, and both men reach the top. NBK snaps off a right hand, and reaches for the belt! But the Jhub reaches up, and hits NBK with a right hand of his own!

Bryan- But NBK simply fires back, and the Jhub almost loses his grip! NBK reaches up for the belt again, but the Jhub reaches around the ladder, and hooks NBK up!

(The Jhub pulls NBK up to the top steps, and falls backwards! Both men go falling through the table in the ring, as the Jhub demolishes NBK with a Downward Spiral from the ladder through the table! The crowd explodes with cheers, chanting ‘Holy Shit! Holy Shit!’)

Bryan- GOOD GOD! Downward Spiral through the table! What an incredible move! Both men must be destroyed!

Yale- I can’t believe it!

(As both men lie reeling in the carnage, a double feature appears, with a camera view from the US title belt. The Jhub and NBK fall a great distance, and the table shatters on impact.)

Bryan- Wow! The Jhub and NBK are both hurting here, but I think NBK got the worst of it! If the Jhub can get to his feet here, this one is over!

Yale- And he’s doing just that! The Jhub SOMEHOW gets to his feet, and heads for the ladder! He steps up onto the first rung, and begins his ascent! And NBK still isn’t moving!

Bryan- This is it! The Jhub has it won! The Jhub climbs yet higher, and the belt is just a few feet away! And NBK isn’t moving an inch! The Jhub finally reaches the highest spot on the ladder, and reaches up for the belt! HE’S GOT IT!

(The Jhub grabs the belt, but the belt suddenly begins to rise! The Jhub, confused, holds on tight to the belt, and he is lifted all the way off of the ladder, another few feet into the air! The Jhub holds on for his life, as the crowd reacts in shock.)

Yale- What the hell is this!?

Bryan- The United States title belt is levitating higher and higher! Who is doing this? The Jhub refuses to let go! He’s got to be fifteen feet in the air! NBK is only now getting to his feet, and he looks up to see the Jhub hanging from the belt!

Yale- NBK picks up the ladder, and moves it out of the way! But I don’t think he has any idea of what’s going on! The Jhub is just hanging there, as NBK shouts at the referee to get some answers!

(The Jhub flails his feet in midair, but has nowhere to go. Suddenly, the belt begins to fall, bringing the Jhub with it! The Jhub falls with the belt thirteen feet down, and the belt stops about five feet off the mat. But the Jhub loses his grip, and lands with incredible impact on the canvas! The crowd explodes with a horrified ‘ooh’ as the Jhub lies motionless, moaning in pain.)

Bryan- GOOD GOD! The Belt just feel from fifteen feet in the air, and stopped just short of the ring! But the Jhub fell all the way down, landing hard on the mat! Who is doing this!?

(NBK, shocked, looks down at the broken Jhub. He simply shrugs to himself, and walks to the lowered US title belt. Without needing the ladder, NBK pulls the US belt off its hook, and the bell rings.)

Yale- It’s over! We’ve got a new US champion! But who did this to the Jhub!? Were they helping NBK, or hurting the Jhub?!

(Unforgiven plays again, as NBK still stares down at the Jhub, confounded. With another shrug, he raises his newly won title in the air, before turning to leave the Jhub in the ring and head for his locker room.)

Andrews- Here is your winner, and the NEW GCW United States Champion… NBK, Natural Born Killer!

Bryan- NBK is the new United States Champion! But the Jhub has been destroyed! I don’t know, Dave, NBK doesn’t seem to know what’s going on!

Yale- The officials are rushing to the ring to attend to the Jhub, as NBK heads for the backstage area! The Jhub is out cold here, and they’re calling for the stretcher!

(As EMTs rush to the ring to help the Jhub, a replay begins. The Jhub is slowly pulled off the top of the ladder, before the US belt camera shows a frightening view of the fall from midair to the mat below.)

Bryan- What a shocking turn of events here! Who has done this to the Jhub? And were they trying to help NBK, or simply cost the Jhub the United States title?

Yale- I really don’t know, JB, but it doesn’t matter for now! NBK is the new United States Champion, and he deserves it!

Bryan- I don’t know about that, Dave! The Jhub had the title in his hands!

(As the Jhub is helped onto the stretcher and taken out of the area, the promotional poster for SubZero appears.)

Bryan- Well, fans, next month we’ll be heading to SubZero, live on Pay-Per-View, February 24th! The event is already sold out, fans, so the only way to see it now is on Pay-Per-View, so call your satellite or cable provider today!

(Pictures of John Reed and The Dark Messiah appear, as the crowd cheers in anticipation of the next match.)

Bryan- Well, fans, up next is a contest that could very well prove to be fatal!

Yale- I can’t wait to see that damn John Reed demolished by the Dark Messiah!

Bryan- The two out of three falls match is next!

Andrews- Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a best of 3 falls contest. Coming down the aisle, weighing in at 246 lbs. He is a former GCW World Champion. JOHN...REEED!

Bryan- John Reed and Jason O'Neil have had no love lost over the past few weeks, and now tonight, all of this is going to be settled.

Yale- Reed just wants to be where the Messiah of Darkness is, challenging for the world title.

Bryan- Somehow, I doubt that. Reed is a tremendous talent here in the GCW, and has a right to that title!

[Reed walks the aisle, and gets in the ring. he climbs to the far turnbuckle and climbs it. Cameras explode their flash bulbs as he poses, and gets ready for The Dark Messiah.]

[The Lights go out]

Bryan- Here we go!

[Its only....the end....of the worrrrrrrrrld...agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain}

Andrews- And his opponent. He is the Master of the Darkness, the Messiah of Pain, Weighing in at 261 lbs, The DARK...MESSIAHHHH!

[The Dark Messiah appears under the Mega tron. Green Pyro shoots into the air, as he walks the aisle. Flash bulbs bathe him in white light. Slowly, TDM puts his hands out from his sides, and the lights turn back on!]

Yale- He's the man!

Bryan- There is no question of his talent, that's for sure. But can he stay focused in this match.

[TDM gets in the ring]

Bryan- Let's go to the ring for an explanation of this match.

Andrews- Ladies and Gentlemen, the rules of this match are...there are no rules. No count out, no disqualification. First fall, can only be won by making your opponent submit. The second fall will be decided by Death match Rules. Pinfalls do not count as a victory. Once a pin is attempted, Your opponent must answer a ten count. If he does not the fall is over. The third fall, if needed will be inside the confines of a the Rage in a Cage. It is a Steel Cage, inside a Larger Cell. The only way to win, is by Pinfall!

[The Fans go nuts!]

Bryan- There you have it! These two men are staring each other down! Look at the hate flowing from each man.

Yale- Here we go!

Bryan- The bell sounds! TDM and Reed start trading lefts and rights! Reed gets the early advantage. He's got TDM in the corner, punching for all he's worth!

Yale- TDM is Rope-a-Doping Reed!

Bryan- TDM is busted open already! Reed with a knee to the stomach. And another! Reed's laying the boots to TDM! Listen to these fans go nuts! Reed breaks away and Raises his hands!

Yale- Stay on him if you wanna win this Reed!

Bryan- Reed goes back to TDM, and picks him up. He throws him back against the turnbuckle, and starts punching again! Reed is vicious! TDM is trying to block the blows, but he's getting hammered!

Yale- Get outta there Jason!

Bryan- Reed rears back for the big left hand! WOW! What impact! Did you see TDM's Head fly back??

Yale- That was the knockout blow! What is wrong with TDM?

Bryan- I'm not sure, but it looks like he doesn't want this as much as Reed does! Reed grabs TDM, and throws him off the ropes, Reed over TDM, TDM returns, POWERSLAM! Reed nailed TDM with that one! And why isn't TDM fighting back?

Yale- I don't know! Come on Jason!

Bryan- Reed behind TDM, locks in a Rear Chinlock! Referee Josh Briggs checks TDM, TDM is still ok! TDM Starts to get to his feet! Reed lets go and puts some boots to his back! David, Reed is nothing but DOminant so far!

Yale- TDM is just baiting him! That's got to be his strategy here!

Bryan- TDM is back down, and Reed has that Chinlock Sleeper on again. TDM looks to be fading a bit here.

Yale- That’s the thing about Submission wrestling though is that you don’t need to be that strong. TDM Knows how to hurt people in so many ways, he doesn’t need to punch and kick.

Bryan- TDM is about out here, and it looks like John Reed should win this fall. The Ref lifts TDM's arm and lets it fall. That's one! The Fans are on their feet! Who knew TDM would go down this fast to Reed! The Ref lifts the arm again! TWO! One count away from winning this fall is Reed! The Arm goes up, and it goes down...NO! TDM is up at the last possible second!

Yale- He's toying with Reed! TDM Is battling to stand now! Reed is on his back! TDM is on his feet! He Reaches back, grabs Reed's head and falls forward! What the hell was that!

Bryan- I think that was a Backwards DDT! TDM and Reed both stand! TDM off the ropes! Shoulder block! Reed goes down! TDM off the ropes again, Reed stands, Dropkick to the outside!

Yale- This is where TDM is at his best! he can beat you in so many ways!

Bryan- John Reed is a hell of an athlete too. Don’t underestimate the former champion! TDM Sits on the turn buckle, and waits for Reed to stand. Look at the blood coming from TDM's face! Reed opened him up good.

Yale- Reed said there would be blood shed tonight! We haven't been disappointed yet!

Bryan- Reed is on the outside, taking a bit of a breather. TDM opens the ropes for him to come in. Reed Looks at TDM and walks to the other side of the ring. TDM opens those ropes for Reed! Reed wants no part of this!

Yale- TDM is trying to be a good sport!

Bryan- Yeah, that’s what he's doing. Reed walks back to the Ropes right in front of us. TDM holds them open for him! Reed up on the apron, grabs TDM's head! TDM blocks it! He spins Reed Around! Chicken Wing! He's Got Reed in a Chicken Wing! Wait!! He lifts REED IN THE AIR!

Yale- This puts TONS of Pressure on the shoulder! If Reed doesn't give up he's going to pass out!

Bryan- TDM Lets go! Reed Drops to the mat. TDM From behind, Locks in a Tazzmission! The Ref checks Reed, who's not giving up! TDM Lets go again! What is he doing! TDM with a side figure four! Reed still isn’t tapping!

Yale- He's showing his knowledge of submission moves here! What did Reed get himself into?!?

Bryan- TDM locks in the Darkness Descends! Its a modified STF! He puts in a full nelson which puts TREMENDOUS pressure on the lower back! Reed is in the middle of the ring! How the hell is he going to break this?!?

Yale- TDM has it locked in good too! Wait! He's Letting go of Reed's Legs! He's got his ankles tied up with his arm, and Reed is still in a Half Nelson! TDM Stands up! What the hell is this!

Bryan- STF SUPLEX! OH MY GOD! I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT!! REED IS BROKEN ON THE MAT!!

Yale- WOW! Look at that strength from TDM! He dead lifted Reed in that Modified STF position, and Took him straight back! He's still got the hold on! Reed is too close to the ropes though, and Briggs tells TDM to break the hold.

Bryan- Look at that move again, and look at the strength of TDM!

Yale- TDM Gets up and stands over Reed. What’s he going to do next?

Bryan- He’s got his leg! Standing Figure Four! He’s got Reed in the Middle of the Ring! Reed looks like he’s going to tap!

Yale- Tap! Tap! Tap!

Bryan- But he doesn’t! He’s trying to get out! Reed’s getting his second wind!

Yale! He’s Turning it! REED’S GOT IT! He’s got TDM In a sharpshooter! He’s sitting back and he’s got it locked! TDM Can’t get to the ropes! Briggs checks him..TDM TAPS! HE’S TAPPING!

Bryan- And the first fall is going to go John Reed, Putting the Dark Messiah in one hell of a hole!

Andrews- Ladies and Gentlemen, there will be one minute between falls to let Reed and O’Neil gain their composure. The next fall, is Death Match Rules!

Bryan- Reed doesn’t want to hear that! He’s picking TDM up! CRADLE TOMBSTONE! He’s going for the win right away!

Yale- Damn that Reed! TDM is Down and Not Moving! Reed again is grabbing TDM! He sets him up for..THE PENNANCE! HE LEAPS!!! TDM IS DOWN!

Bryan- I don’t know how much TDM can take! He’s still busted open, and bleeding! Reed is trying to take this one the easy way!

Crowd- 10….9…..8….7….6…5….4…3….2….1

[bell]

Bryan- Look at that! Reed is walking over to the lifeless TDM! He’s got the cover One…Two…Three. That was easy, wasn’t it Reed?

Yale- I Like the new look. He said he was [1] going to do what ever it took to win this match.

Bryan- [2] Does this even go on, if TDM can’t answer the 10 count? [3]

Yale- I don’t know[4]

Crowd- 8!!!

Bryan- I guess not! He’s up to both feet now, but still groggy!

Crowd- 9!!!

Yale- And the ref takes off the count! TDM must have answered him well enough!

Bryan- Here comes Reed! He goes right for the face! He’s hitting TDM again and again! TDM is busted open even more!

Yale- Thankfully this isn’t boxing, or else Briggs would have ended this a while ago!

Bryan- Reed, Rears back, Big Clothesline! TDM is down again! Reed has been in control for most of this match!

Yale- I don’t know what is wrong with TDM, but he needs to get back into this!

Bryan- Reed down behind TDM, waiting for him to get up…TDM TO his Feet! Reed, off the ropes, TDM DUCKS!, Reed is down in front of him! TDM Drops an Elbow! He puts Reed in the Darkness Descends again!!! REED IS TAPPING!

Yale- But you can’t win by making them Tap! Only pinfalls lead to the wins! TDM isn’t letting go! Reed is screaming! He’s tapping like crazy! TDM is not breaking the move!

Bryan- Briggs is trying to get control here! TDM breaks the hold, finally, but Reed can definitely feel it!

Yale- Look at the face of TDM! He’s bleeding like Crazy! What’s he doing?

Bryan- He’s going to the outside! He’s got a chair! He’s back in the Ring, and stalking Reed! Reed is slow to get up with that bum leg! He’s up to a knee! From behind TDM SWINGS AND CONNECTS! WOW!

Bryan- The Cage is almost in place…Wait…It wont go down anymore! Ring techs are out trying to get it down! Its about 4 feet from the floor!

Yale- What the hell is TDM doing??

Bryan- He’s…Climbing the cage!!

Yale- He’s going for everything here!

Yale- This was a hell of a match, and TDM definitely deserved to win.

(The cameras head out back to the parking garage area. Kevin Jacobs catches up to "The Fueler" Luke Hanson as he's getting into his Blazer. Hanson puts in the Hard*core Title and turns, a disgusted look on his face as he sees Jacobs. Before a word can be said, he grabs Jacobs by the shoulders and delivers a big knee to Jacobs's groin, sending him collapsing to the ground, passing out. Hanson begins to speak, a grim smile on his face.)

TFLH: You know, I got suspended for actions such as the ones I have committed tonight. Those being assaulting people who I shouldn't be, well, assaulting. So here's the gist of what happened tonight and why. Serving my suspension gave me time to think. Time to think about just how pathetic my career has been up to this point, and why. And I found out just what it was. I compared time I wasn't with the System to time that I was. With the System I've achieved, well, nothing. Sure I carried Toad and Hardy as far as Tag Titles, but that's certainly
nothing to be proud of. Without the System? The US Title. You see, all of those guys held me back. Jhub, Hardy, Reed. And most of all, Toad. The constant verbal assaults, the pathetic, annoying British toilet humor, it
got old. And it sure as hell pissed me off. Those guys have never been there. I've been the one to take the verbal abuse, be the butt of the jokes, be the actual workhorse who gets the job done. And in my time of need, when I need some back up? Nothing. So screw Toad, screw Jhub, screw the rest of GCW. From now on, it's me and only me. No one to screw my career into the ground. Hell, half an hour of this lifestyle and I'm already the Hard*core Champ. And as for Toad getting a shot at the title I just kicked his ass for? He knows how to find me. And Toad, I'll be glad to kick your ass anytime, anywhere. Now I'm out of here.

(With that, Hanson gives the camera a shove backwards, and it goes to snow then fades back into the announcers table.)

Bryan- Wow! What a change in the Fueler, Luke Hanson!

Yale- I liked the sound of that, JB! After all, anything and everything bad that happens to Toad is a good thing that happens to me!

Bryan- Well, fans, up next we’re going to see a match that truly will not be for the faint at heart! The street fight between Caldera and Octavian is next!

Back to Top

(Might of Rome begins to boom into the arena, as its slow yet heavy orchestral tunes serenade Octavian onto the stage. The crowd erupts with a truly tremendous chorus of boos, as Octavian folds his arms to stare at the crowd. Finally, he throws his arms into the air, and golden pyro erupts from the stage. As it cools down, Octavian marches to the ring, looking determined and hateful.)

Andrews- The following contest is a street fight! Introducing first, from Rome, Italy, he weighs in at 280 pounds… Octavian!

Bryan- Octavian was the most dominant World Champion to date, until Tristain Mayhem defeated him for the World Title last month! Octavian blames Caldera for the loss, and now he’ll stop at nothing to destroy Caldera!

Yale- And maybe all of GCW while he’s at it!

(Octavian reaches the ring, and slowly steps through the ropes. He methodically removes his gold plated overcoat, glaring out at the crowd. Might of Rome slowly fades as Octavian tosses his coat to an aid, and stares back up the ramp. Established cues up next, and the crowd erupts in cheers! President Caldera, wearing his usual ring attire, emerges from the back, and charges to the ring!)

Andrews- And his opponent, from Columbus, Ohio, he weighs in at 256 pounds… President Steven Caldera!

(Caldera slides into the ring, as Andrews bails out. Octavian moves right in, and the music fades!)

Bryan- And Octavian doesn’t waste any time! The bell sounds as Octavian strikes Caldera in the spine with an elbow, and Caldera drops to a knee! Octavian grabs a handful of Caldera’s belt, hoisting him up again!

Yale- And Octavian connects with a headbutt to the small of the back! Caldera is in trouble early on here, but Octavian holds on to his belt! Octavian delivers a forearm shot to the back, and finally drops Caldera in a heap to the mat!

Bryan- Caldera pushes himself up, and Octavian shoves him back into the corner! The former world champion begins laying in heavy boots to the gut, as Caldera remains reeling in the corner.

Yale- Octavian rears back, and lays in a stiff chop!

(The crowd shouts ‘whoo!’ as the chop connects, sending out the loud chop of flesh meeting flesh.)

Yale- Octavian delivers another chop, before finally giving Caldera a snapmare takedown out of the corner! Octavian gives Caldera a massive kick to the spine again, and the President screams out in pain!

Bryan- Octavian finally pulls Caldera up to his feet, and sends him into the ropes! Caldera bounces back, and ducks a clothesline attempt from Octavian! Caldera comes off the other side, but hardly makes it two steps before Octavian catches him with a knee to the gut, sending Caldera head over heels to the mat!

Yale- Wow! Octavian is showing no mercy for the boss here tonight! Caldera slowly pulls himself up, and staggers back into the corner. Octavian stalks him to the turnbuckle, but Caldera springs out with a right hand!

Bryan- And the crowd is coming alive! Caldera connects with another big right hand, and Octavian is reeling! Caldera finally explodes out of the corner with a lariat, sending Octavian down to the mat!

Yale- Caldera drops to a knee on the ropes, but quickly collects himself and heads back to the recovering former champion! Octavian sees Caldera coming, and snaps off a right hand, but Caldera blocks it and connects with a shot of his own!

Bryan- Caldera finally takes Octavian by the arm, and shoots him off into the ropes! Caldera backs into the ropes himself, and meets Octavian in the middle of the ring with a huge leaping knee to the face!

Yale- Octavian goes down, and Caldera drops for the cover! ONE! No, Octavian kicks right out! Caldera now slides backwards under the ropes, and down to the floor! I think business is about to pick up, JB!

Bryan- Caldera begins looking under the ring, and emerges from the apron with a street sign! Caldera tosses it into the ring, and goes back under the apron again! This time Caldera emerges with a trash can!

Yale- But Octavian is up in the ring, and hits the ropes opposite Caldera! Caldera pulls the can up, but Octavian drops down with a baseball slide, kicking the can into Caldera’s neck! Caldera falls backwards onto the end of the ramp, as Octavian now begins searching under the ring!

Bryan- And the former world champion has found a fire extinguisher! This doesn’t look good! Octavian turns around, but Caldera is up, and charges in! Caldera leaps over Octavian, trying to pull him down into a sunset flip!

(The crowd cheers as Caldera almost pulls Octavian over for the pin. But Octavian manages to aim the extinguisher downward, and spray Caldera in the face with a cloud of dusty gas! The crowd oohs as the two men disappear for a few moments behind the gas, before it dissipates, leaving Caldera lying on the floor caked in white powder, and Octavian catching his breath.)

Yale- Wow! Caldera just got extinguished! Octavian is coughing heavily, but he’s still moving! He begins moving back towards the President, who is still trying to get some air on the floor! Octavian pulls Caldera back up, and begins leading him up the ramp!

Bryan- Octavian finally steps in front of Caldera, and buries a knee in his gut! The former champion hooks the President up under the arms, and flips him over onto the steel with a belly to belly suplex!

Yale- Good God! That’s got to hurt! Caldera is really getting a lesson here from his former student! Octavian lifts Caldera up by the hair, as the referee shouts at him from a comfortable distance away!

Bryan- Well, there aren’t any rules in this one! The referee only needs to be there to count the fall! Octavian leads Caldera up the ramp towards the stage, before finally shooting Caldera off into the steel MegaTron supports!

Yale- Caldera staggers back, and Octavian hooks him from behind, driving him into the steel stage with a reverse neckbreaker! Good lord! That could have broken his neck! Octavian reaches back, and covers! ONE! TWO! THR- NO!

Bryan- Man, I don’t know how Caldera kicked out of that one! Octavian angrily storms back to his feet, giving a referee a glare to end all glares! The former champion finally lifts Caldera back to his feet, and leads him towards the edge of the stage! Uh-oh, Dave, they’re getting awfully close to the edge there, and they’ve got to be fifteen feet above the floor!

Yale- Octavian knows that, JB! The former champion takes Caldera by the arm, and shoots him off towards the edge!

(The crowd gasps as Caldera flies off the edge of the stage! But Caldera amazingly is able to grab hold of the side panel of the MegaTron in midair, pulling himself up onto the ledge! Octavian watches in disbelief as Caldera manages to save himself.)

Bryan- WOW! I thought Caldera was going for a big ride there, Dave, but he somehow managed to save himself! Caldera pulls himself up onto the ledge, as Octavian searches for a way over to Caldera! But the only way over there is to jump!!

Yale- And that’s what he looks to be doing, JB! Octavian backs up a few steps, as Caldera glares back at him!

(Octavian gets a head of steam, charging for the edge of the stage. Caldera, however, sees him coming! Octavian makes a suicidal dive towards Caldera’s perch on the MegaTron, but Caldera jumps at the same time! The two men meet in midair with a double cross body collision, halting both men’s progress. The two fall out of the air, and come crashing down into the sound setup below! The crowd leaps to their feet with a massive chant of ‘Holy Shit!’ as Caldera and Octavian lie in the wreckage below. A loud screeching sound begins overhead from the damaged system, but is quickly cut off.)

Bryan- GOOD GOD! Caldera and Octavian both had the same idea, and hit with a big midair collision! And both men have fallen fifteen feet down to the floor below! Our sound crew might have been decimated!

Yale- What about Octavian! You’re heartless, JB! But somehow, Octavian is getting back to his feet! But I think Caldera took the worst of that fall!

(As Octavian slowly gets to his feet, and the referee checks on them, a double feature appears. From a higher angle, we see Caldera and Octavian leap at the same time, colliding in midair and crashing to the floor below. The crowd gasps as they watch them fall once again, before returning to live action.)

Bryan- And somehow, some way, Octavian is standing once again. Octavian pulls Caldera up, and slings him over his shoulder! The former world champion now begins a slow walk back towards the ring, with his employer on his back!

Yale- Caldera has been destroyed, JB! Octavian continues to head to the ring, as those idiotic Dallas fans reach out to slap him! Come on, security, kick them all out! These Texans are insane, JB!

Bryan- Octavian finally gets to ringside, and rolls Caldera under the ropes! The president seems to be out cold here, as Octavian heads around the ring towards the timekeeper! He shoves our timekeeper out of the way, and snatches his chair away!

Yale- All right! Caldera is done for now, JB! Octavian heads up the stairs, and steps through the ropes! Caldera slowly begins to move, as Octavian painfully heads to his boss!

(The crowd becomes hot with boos, as Octavian stands above the broken President. Caldera tries his best to pull himself up Octavian’s leg, as the former champion relishes the President broken below him.)

Yale- And look at Caldera! This is the way things should be! Caldera is broken below the greatest champion GCW has ever seen, Octavian! What a picture!

Bryan- Octavian flashes Caldera a smile, as he raises the chair up to finish Caldera off! But Caldera leaps up with a sudden low blow! Low blow from the President! And Octavian is down! Both men lie in pain here in the ring, as the referee checks on them!

Yale- What a cheater! Caldera’s been cheating his whole life, and now is no different!

Bryan- It’s a street fight, Dave! Anything goes!

Yale- It wasn’t fair! But look, Octavian is getting up again! But so is Caldera! The president lifts himself up, and dizzily spins around to come face to face with Octavian! But Caldera somehow pulls Octavian’s head down, and plants him into the mat with a DDT!

(The crowd quickly comes back to life, cheering for the President’s comeback.)

Bryan- Caldera has a chance here! He slowly begins pulling himself up to his feet, as Octavian lies dazed on his stomach! Caldera walks right up to Octavian, and drops a sharp leg over the back of his head!

Yale- Caldera gets back to his feet, and picks Octavian up as well. The President sends Octavian into the turnbuckle, and Octavian hits hard! Caldera charges in behind him, and leaps into the air!

(Octavian, seeing Caldera coming, pulls the referee in front of him. Caldera lands with a splash that connects with the official, sending him down to the mat. Caldera looks down to check on him, but Octavian bursts out of the corner with a double leg takedown!)

Bryan- Did you see that?! Did you see that? Octavian pulled the referee in the way! And now he’s taken Caldera down… don’t tell me… ROMAN RAPPER! ROMAN RAPPER on the President!

(The crowd becomes insane with boos and jeers, as Octavian rears back on the President. Caldera, with nowhere to go, begins to tap out!)

Yale- CALDERA IS TAPPING! IT’S OVER!

Bryan- But Octavian pulled the referee in to save himself, and now he’s paying the price! There’s no referee to stop this match! Caldera is tapping, but the referee is out cold!

Yale- Octavian finally releases the President, looking down to his broken body! The match may not be over, but Octavian has succeeded in breaking Caldera here tonight! You have to give him that!

Bryan- Octavian pulls the President up to his feet, and hooks him up! There’s a belly to belly suplex, and Caldera is out! But so is the official! And it’s Octavian’s own fault!

Yale- Octavian drops down and hooks the leg, but the referee isn’t moving an inch! Octavian slowly slaps his hand on the mat once, twice… three times! See? Three count! That’s twice Octavian has beaten Caldera!

Bryan- Octavian finally gets back to his feet, and spots the street sign that Caldera brought into the ring earlier! He picks up the sign, and then helps Caldera back to his feet!

Yale- What does that sign say? No crossing? Ha! That’s right, don’t cross Octavian! Octavian shoots Caldera into the ropes, and catches him on the way back with a shot to the skull! Caldera goes down again!

Bryan- And I think he’s bleeding, Dave. This does not look good for Caldera. Octavian drops down and covers him again! And he counts! ONE! TWO! THREE! But it doesn’t count!

Yale- That’s three times Octavian has had Caldera beat, and that stupid referee isn’t around to do anything about it, JB! Three times!

Bryan- Oh, come on, who’s fault is that?! That’s his own damn fault, Dave!

Yale- Caldera is out cold here, as Octavian gets back to his feet!

(Octavian stands tall above Caldera, slowly raising his arms in the air. The crowd becomes hot with intense boos once more, as Octavian celebrates. However, as he goes to pull Caldera up again, the arena suddenly becomes plunged in darkness! Every light in the building, including the MegaTron, goes out, leaving everything in utter darkness.)

Bryan- Wait a minute, we’ve lost power here! We’ve lost power in the arena!

Yale- Are we on?

Bryan- I guess when Caldera and Octavian landed on that equipment back there, they must have pulled out some cables or something! But we can’t see a thing here! I don’t even know if we’re on the air!

(The crowd murmurs in the darkness, not able to move an inch. Suddenly, a single spotlight lights up, shining downward in the ring. Octavian still stands over Caldera’s motionless body, warily trying to focus in the darkness. However, directly behind him now stands a dark, cloaked figure! The person stands motionless in the ring under this single light, Octavian still oblivious to their presence. The crowd suddenly begins to grow in its buzz, wondering who this visitor might be.)

Bryan- Wait a minute, there’s someone in the ring! There’s someone in there behind Octavian! Who is that? They’ve got a hood over their face! I can’t tell!

(The figure raises its arms into the air, and the house lights return to normal once again! Octavian is noticeable disturbed, and he spins around, jerking to a halt in the face of this new person in the ring! The crowd suddenly lights up with enthused cheers, as the cloaked figure fires off a huge right hand to Octavian!)

Yale- WHAT!?

Bryan- Whoever this person is, they’re assaulting Octavian! This person is assaulting Octavian! Right hand after right hand! Octavian is reeling! The cloaked figure finally boots Octavian in the gut, and pulls him in…

Yale- TIGER DRIVER! What a move! But who the hell is this?!

(Octavian lies motionless in the ring, as Caldera still remains unconscious. The referee slowly begins to stir, as the cloaked figure reaches for his hood. The crowd’s buzz grows and grows as the figure slowly pulls his hood down…)

Bryan- KHAN!!!! I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS!

(As the hood slides off, the figure’s face becomes clear. Khan stands in a GCW ring for the first time in six months, glaring down at Octavian’s broken body. The crowd explodes with an incredibly intense reaction of cheers as gasps of disbelief. Khan then swiftly reaches down for the street sign, before heading to the top rope!)

Yale- I Don’t believe this is happening! I thought Khan had been fired!!

Bryan- Khan is heading for the top rope! What is going on here?! He measures Octavian off, and leaps! ARABIAN FACEBUSTER with the street sign! Octavian is out cold! And the crowd is loving every last minute!

Yale- Damnit! This isn’t fair! And the referee is just now waking up! Khan reaches for Caldera, and pulls him on top of Octavian! Here’s the count!

(The referee warily begins a painful count, and the crowd shouts each count as loud as they can…)

Bryan- ONE!! TWO!!!! THREE!!!! Steven Caldera wins!

(The crowd explodes with cheers, though Caldera is still too hurt to realize his win. Established begins to play once again, as the entire Dallas crowd stands in unison. Khan reaches down for Caldera, pulling him to his feet. Khan slings Caldera over his shoulder carrying him out of the ring.)

Andrews- Here is your winner, President Steven Caldera!

Yale- THIS IS NOT FAIR!

Bryan- Khan has returned! And I never saw this coming! Who could have possibly seen this coming!?!

Yale- Octavian didn’t!

Bryan- Khan has returned to the GCW ring, and he has allied with Caldera once again! And Octavian has been sent straight to hell where he belongs!

(Caldera, still hurting and woozy, is carried up the ramp by Khan. Khan, expressionless and stoic, marches quietly back to the dressing area, despite the crowd’s incredible reaction for his return. Officials rush to the ring as Khan and Caldera disappear behind the curtain, heading out to help Octavian.)

Bryan- I simply can’t believe it, Dave! Khan is back!

(Pictures of Jonny Montano and Michael Stevens appear, as the crowd cheers in anticipation of the Rampage finals. The tournament brackets flash one more time, as we prepare for the first half of the night’s main event.)

Back to Top





Bryan- Well, fans, this is it. Either Michael Stevens or Jonny Montano will leave here tonight as the first ever Rampage tournament winner, having gone through three other men, two of them tonight!

Yale- And I’m still calling my pick, Michael Stevens! Spitfire is getting what he deserves right here tonight!

(Lust for Life hits for the third time in the night, and Michael ‘Spitfire’ Stevens steps out onto the stage. With a glare in his face and a gleam in his eye, he marches to the ring.)

Andrews- The following contest is the Finals of the Rampage tournament! Introducing first, weighing in at 237 pounds… Michael ‘Spitfire’ Stevens!

Yale- He’s my pick, JB, and he’s winning this match right here!

(Stevens steps into the ring, and slumps back into a corner, obviously conserving his energy. Lust for Life fades, and Black Jesus hits again. The crowd actually begins to cheer as Jonny Montano emerges from the back, walking briskly to the ring.)

Andrews- And his opponent, weighing in at 197 pounds… Jonny Montano!

Bryan- But Montano has climbed a tremendous mountain over the past few months, and I’m sure he wants to become the winner just as bad as Stevens does! This should be a really classic bout!

(Montano slides into the ring, and Stevens charges out of his corner. However, Montano meets Stevens with a clothesline, sending Stevens to the mat to begin the match!)

Yale- And they aren’t wasting any time! The bell sounds, as Stevens springs to his feet! Montano flips into the air, taking Stevens down again with a dropkick! Stevens gets to his feet a third time, but Montano hits him with another lightening quick dropkick!

Bryan- Montano finally is able to keep Stevens down, but he lifts Spitfire back to his feet again! Montano sends Stevens into the ropes, and catches him on the way back with a back body drop!

Yale- Stevens hits hard, and the crowd is solidly rallying behind Montano here! Montano picks Stevens up again, but Stevens sticks a thumb in his eye, and then levels Montano with a lariat!

Bryan- Montano is floored here, and Stevens drops down to slap on an armbar! Not a bad move here! Stevens is quick, but I think Montano might be the fastest guy in GCW! If Stevens can punish Montano on the mat, he’ll have this match won!

Yale- Stevens pulls back as hard as he can, as Montano screams in pain! Stevens quickly gets to his feet, pulling Montano’s arm up with him, before dropping a leg over Montano’s shoulder!

Bryan- Montano rolls over to his side and pushes himself up, trying to escape further punishment to the shoulder! Stevens moves in, but Montano catches him with a boot to the gut! Montano hits Stevens with a hard right hand that sends him back into the corner, before backing away!

Yale- Montano gets a head of steam, and charges in! But Stevens steps out of the corner, and Montano goes flying with that left shoulder right into the turnbuckle! This spells trouble for Montano!

Bryan- Stevens pulls Montano out of the corner, and tosses him over his shoulder with an judo-style arm drag! Montano hits the mat, and Stevens turns him over, sitting back on the shoulder and pulling on his arm, in a reverse armbar type hold!

Yale- Michael Stevens is a technical genius, JB! He’s going to demolish Montano here! He was my pick, you know!

Bryan- Montano is struggling to get to the ropes, but Stevens has him in excellent ring position! The referee checks for a submission, but Montano isn’t going to submit away his chance at superstardom!

Yale- Stevens finally releases the hold, and pulls Montano up to his feet! Stevens twists Montano’s arm around, holding on to the arm! Stevens finally pulls Montano’s arm up, and wrenches it down, sending Montano down to a knee!

Bryan- Stevens moves behind Montano, and folds his arm up into a rear arm lock! Montano is in real trouble here, as a thin grin appears on Spitfire’s face! I think Stevens is assuming he’s got this one locked up!

Yale- He had this one locked up before the night even started, JB! He was my pick, you know!

Bryan- Yes, I know.

Yale- Stevens continues pulling back on Montano’s arm, before hoisting him up, spinning him around, and shooting him off into the steel post again!

Bryan- Montano’s arm has got to be killing him, and Stevens drops behind him, rolling him up into a pin! ONE! TWO!! THR- NO! Kickout by Montano, and Stevens is surprised!

Yale- Well, sure, Montano wants to win this thing, but so did Bryan Mayhem and Toxic! Stevens glares at the official, who assures him that he got a mere two count! Stevens lifts Montano up to his feet, and shoots him into the ropes!

Bryan- Stevens ducks for a back body drop, but Montano sees it coming, and leaps over into a sunset flip! But he can’t get Stevens over! Stevens manages to keep his balance, and drops straight down with a fist!

Yale- But Montano rolls out of the way, and Stevens finds nothing but canvas! Montano rushes for the corner, and climbs to the top rope! Stevens gets to his feet, just as Montano takes off, hitting his mark with a flying clothesline!

Bryan- Stevens turns head over heels, and lands precariously on the mat! Montano gets back to his feet, and begins scaling the turnbuckle again! Stevens rises, and turns right into a missile dropkick from Montano!

Yale- Montano is on fire here, as he heads up to the top rope for a third time! Stevens gets back to his feet and sees Montano climbing! Spitfire warily rushes in to the corner, and leaps onto the second rope! Stevens grabs Montano’s arm, and sends him flying down to the mat with a top rope arm drag takedown!!!

Bryan- What an incredible move! And Montano’s arm may be gone here! Montano went to the well one too many times, and Stevens was able to capitalize! Montano lies in pain, as Stevens moves in, and covers!

Yale- ONE! TWO!! KICKOUT! How on earth is Montano still alive?! Stevens is incredulous, as he forces the official into the corner, with an accusing finger in his face! But the official doesn’t take kindly to Spitfire’s bullying, and gives Stevens a shove out of the corner!

Bryan- Stevens staggers back, irate at the official! But Montano is up on all fours, and Stevens trips over him, falling to the mat! Montano grabs Spitfire’s legs and flips over him, landing in a pinning predicament!

Yale- ONE! TWO! THREE- NO! Stevens kicks out! Stevens quickly springs back to his feet, and meets Montano with a stiff right hand! Montano is staggered, and Stevens quickly whips him into the turnbuckle!

Bryan- Stevens follows Montano in, and ducks his shoulder down! But Montano hoists himself onto the top rope, and Stevens misses his mark! Montano rolls down over Stevens, and pulls him over into a sunset flip! ONE! TWO!! Kickout!

Yale- Spitfire rolls back, pulling up Montano’s legs and flipping over into another pinfall! ONE! TWO! THRE- Montano kicks out! Montano rolls back, and this time catches the rising Stevens by hopping onto his shoulders!

Bryan- Montano rears back, and takes Stevens down with a big hurricanrana! Stevens is hurting, and he rolls out of the ring to the floor! Stevens slowly pulls himself up with the barricade, but Montano is on the move!

Yale- Montano gets a head of steam, and leaps over the top rope with a springboard suicide dive! What a move! Montano lands perfectly on Stevens, who crumbles to the floor!

Bryan- Montano stays on Stevens, lifting him up to his feet! Montano whips Stevens hard, sending him right into the steel steps! Stevens bounces off, and Montano lifts him up again! Montano sets Stevens on the apron, and slides into the ring!

Yale- Montano gets to his feet and reaches over the top rope to grab Stevens by the hair! Montano pulls Stevens to his feet, but Stevens grabs Montano’s arm and drops to the canvas, extending Montano’s shoulder over the rope!

Bryan- Great counter move by Stevens, who rolls into the ring! Stevens finds Montano rising to his feet, and hits him with a dropkick to the back! Montano staggers forward, his shoulder landing right on the top turnbuckle!

Yale- Stevens charges into the corner, and dives with a splash! Montano is crushed underneath Spitfire, who hooks Montano up, and delivers a perfect vertical suplex out of the corner!

Bryan- Stevens gets back to his feet, and stares down at Montano!

(The crowd instantly becomes hot with jeers and boos, as Stevens smiles at his handiwork. After a pause, Stevens ignores the fans and returns to work.)

Yale- Yeah, yeah, you idiotic Texans are just mad because MY PICK Michael Stevens is beating the high-holy crap out of Jonny Montano!

Bryan- Montano slowly begins to pull himself up, as Stevens simply laughs! Spitfire finally pulls Montano up to his feet, and hooks him up again! Stevens hoists Montano up, and plants him with a brainbuster! Great move!

Yale- Michael Stevens in total control here, JB! Stevens picks up Montano again, and sends him into the ropes! Montano bounces back, and Stevens connects with a HUGE lariat that just about takes Montano’s head off!

Bryan- Stevens quickly drops down, and covers! ONE! TWO! THREE- NO! Jonny Montano simply refuses to quit! Stevens is irate, and he quickly drops down to apply that armbar again, going back to work on the shoulder!

Yale- Montano screams out in pain, and he’s got no choice now but to submit! It’s got to end right here, JB! But Montano isn’t giving up! Stevens is wrenching back here, and I simply can’t believe that Montano can win this match now!

Bryan- It’s not over yet, Dave! Montano seems to be getting a burst of energy, and he’s trying to move! Montano manages to get over to his side, but Stevens still has the armbar applied!

Yale- Montano powers his way all the way up to his feet, but Stevens is now hanging upside down, still clutching Montano in that armbar! But wait, Montano suddenly jerks to the side, and falls down on Stevens!

Bryan- Montano quickly rolls Stevens up, and he pulls back on Spitfire’s tights for leverage! ONE! TWO!! THREE!!!! HE GOT HIM!

Yale- WHAT!? NO! He had a handful of tights! CHEATER!

(The crowd explodes with cheers as a result of this unexpected pinfall. Black Jesus plays again, as Montano lies motionless in the ring. Stevens leaps to his feet in anger, informing the referee of Montano’s chicanery. The official simply raises Montano’s hand, which is enough to cause Spitfire to give him a shove down to the mat.)

Andrews- Here is your winner, and the winner of the first ever Rampage Tournament… Jonny Montano!

Bryan- Jonny Montano has won the Rampage tournament! What an incredible effort by this young man! But Michael Stevens is absolutely furious! Where is he going now?

(As Montano slowly begins to get to his feet, Stevens heads to the timekeeper’s table. He shoves the timekeeper away, and folds up his steel chair. The crowd begins to boo as Black Jesus fades, and Stevens climbs back into the ring.)

Yale- Stevens was screwed, JB, and I have a feeling Montano’s about to pay for the way he CHEATED!

Bryan- Stevens moves up in front of Montano, and clobbers him with a giant chair shot! Montano hits the ground, as the crowd suddenly becomes irate!

Yale- Stevens rears back, and hits Montano right in the shoulder with that chair! And there’s another shot! Michael Stevens is snapping here, JB! Montano rolls over in pain, but Stevens gives him another shot to the shoulder!

Bryan- Montano is being dismantled here! Stevens finally drops down, and locks on his patented Reverse Fujiwara Armbar on Montano! Montano is screaming in agony here, as the timekeeper rings the bell to try to ward Stevens off!

Yale- He’s going to break Montano’s shoulder! Stevens finally releases his armbar, and drops a motionless Montano to the mat!

(Lust for Life plays again, as the crowd angrily begins to boo Stevens. With a sadistic smile, Stevens leaves Montano lying in the ring, with a bittersweet victory to enjoy.)

Bryan- This Michael Stevens is one of the lowest forms of scum there is, Dave! I can’t believe the depravity of the attack we just saw!

Yale- Montano cheated, JB! He got what he deserved! So you just watch your mouth when you’re talking about Michael Stevens, the man that SHOULD be the winner of the tournament!

Back to Top





(As officials rush to help Montano, Jason Dread and Tristain Mayhem appear on the MegaTron, each in their respective locker rooms preparing for the following match.)

Bryan- Well, fans, this is it! The main event! Jason Dread gets his shot at the world title, when he takes on Tristain Mayhem in a Last Man Standing Match!

(As Montano is finally helped out of the ring area, Just Got Wicked cues up. The crowd instantly begins to boo with the loudest, hottest reaction of the night. Jason Dread emerges onto the stage, and heads to the ring.)

Andrews- The following contest is a Last Man Standing Match for the GCW World Heavyweight Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, from Southern Tracks, Arizona, he weighs in at 220 pounds… Jason Dread!

Yale- This is the next world champion, JB! I’ve been on fire with my predictions here tonight, and I am predicting that Jason Dread is about to become the new GCW World Champion!

Bryan- This rivalry has certainly become intense, especially considering the way Dread demolished Mayhem’s wedding on Meltdown! Never before have I seen anything so heinous, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see Mayhem try to kill Dread here tonight!

(Dread reaches the ring and steps through the ropes. With a glare in his eye, he steps onto the turnbuckle, almost relishing the intense boos from the crowd. Just Got Wicked slowly fades, and Dread steps out of the ring to the announce table. My Sacrifice cues up, and the crowd explodes with a tremendous amount of cheers! Tristain Mayhem, alongside Nanci, emerges onto the stage, waving to their adoring fans.)

Andrews- And his opponent, accompanied by his wife, Nanci, from New Orleans, Louisiana, he weighs in at 245 pounds… Tristain Mayhem!

Bryan- The first couple of GCW is here, and they are here for revenge! After finally being wed last Thursday on Meltdown, Jason Dread destroyed their procession, and tonight Mayhem is seeking blood!

Yale- Well, either way, this match won’t end until one man simply can’t stand any more!

(Mayhem steps into the ring, and mounts the turnbuckle. He raises his world title into the air, as cameras flash to capture the awe inspiring image. Mayhem finally hops down, kisses Nanci through the ropes, and hands the belt to the official. Dread steps back into the ring, as My Sacrifice fades out. The official presents the title to the crowd, as the bell sounds. Mayhem and Dread lock eyes, and the match begins!)

Bryan- And what a staredown this is! Neither man is giving an inch, or showing the slightest weakness! But they both know how much pain they’re about to go through, all for the GCW championship!

Yale- Wait, and Dread sticks Mayhem with a right hand! Mayhem returns it, and they’re off! We’ve got a slug out here, and it looks like Mayhem is taking over on Dread! Mayhem backs Dread into the ropes with some hard rights, and sends him off to the other side!

Bryan- Dread hits the ropes, and Mayhem charges in with a lariat! But Dread ducks, and hits the other side! Dread bounces back, and this time ducks a back elbow from Mayhem! Mayhem this time hits the ropes himself, and both men charge to the center of the ring!

Yale- And Mayhem takes Dread down with a vicious falling clothesline! Great move! Dread quickly scrambles back to his feet, but Mayhem is waiting with some hard right hands!

Badger- And Mayhem looks like he’s come to fight! I like that.

Bryan- Mayhem backs Dread into the corner with those sharp right fists, before rearing back and laying in a hard knife-edge chop! Mayhem finally pulls Dread out of the corner, hooks him up, and brings him over with a big snap suplex!

Yale- Mayhem floats over, but there are no pinfalls in this match! Dread shoves Mayhem away and powers up to his feet, and Mayhem stalks Dread to the corner. Dread pulls himself up, only to find boots to the midsection from the champion!

Bryan- Mayhem finally pulls Dread out of the corner, takes him by the hair, and charges him to the next corner, sending Dread face first into the turnbuckle! Dread staggers away as Mayhem hits the ropes, hooking Dread on the way over with a bulldog!

Yale- Mayhem pulls Dread up again, and then hits the ropes! Dread staggers about as Mayhem runs in with a big lariat, but Dread ducks and tosses Mayhem clear over the top rope to the floor here in front of us!

Badger- Hey Tristain, have a nice trip?

Bryan- Dread slowly drops in the ring, before rolling out to pursue the champion. Dread finds the rising champion, moves behind him, and gives him a mighty shove into the steel post! Mayhem goes flying, and hits the ground!

Yale- Dread picks Mayhem up again, before whipping him hard into the steel steps! And Mayhem goes flying head over heels to the floor below! Dread stalks Mayhem around the corner, where the champion slowly pulls himself up!

Bryan- Dread takes Mayhem by the hair, and pulls him around. He hooks the champion up, and brings him down, planting him with a suplex onto the steel entrance ramp! Wow!

Badger- And that hurts, fellas.

Bryan- Dread now heads for the guardrail, where security is backup up the crowd! Dread climbs on top of the guardrail corner, showing some incredible balance! He measures Mayhem, and takes off with a big elbow drop to the heart!

Yale- The referee begins the count, though Dread is slow to get up following the landing on the steel. Dread finally picks himself up, as the count on Mayhem reaches five!

Badger- Six…. Seven…. Get up, Tristain!

Bryan- Mayhem finally begins to stir, and the count is stopped. But Dread wastes no time in rushing the revived Mayhem, hooking his head, and planting him with a swinging neckbreaker onto the ramp! Good Lord!

(The crowd oohs as the steel ramp becomes noticeable dented. Dread’s face lights up with a faint smile as he hears the thud of Mayhem’s skull on the steel, before lifting himself up again.)

Yale- Mayhem could be out here, but I think Dread wants to inflict more punishment! He heads to the ring, and begins searching under the apron! The count on Mayhem is up to four, as Dread emerges from under the ring!

Badger- He’s got a damned sledgehammer!

Bryan- Oh, come on now, don’t let it go this far! That’s a damned sledgehammer! He could kill him with that!

Yale- And I promise you, if Dread had the chance, he’d kill Mayhem right here and now!

Bryan- I think we knew this one was going to go too far. Mayhem slowly begins to pull himself up, as Dread admires the steel head of the sledgehammer. Mayhem slowly spins around, as Dread charges in!

(Mayhem barely catches sight of Dread before his lights are dimmed with a brutal running sledgehammer shot to the face! Mayhem flips head over heels from the blow, landing on his face. The crowd boos in disgust as Dread gets back to his feet, smiling a sadistic smile.)

Yale- GOOD GOD!

Bryan- Come on!! That’s enough! Just stop the damn match! Enough is enough!

Badger- Mayhem isn’t done yet! Not until the bell rings.

Yale- What match are you watching, Badger? Dread is destroying Mayhem here tonight!

Bryan- Mayhem may be out cold, and I think Dread may have this match won already. The referee begins the count, but Dread approaches Mayhem, and pulls him up to his feet! Dread slings the unconscious Mayhem over his shoulder, and heads to the ring. And he’s still got that sledgehammer!

Yale- Dread brings Mayhem to the ring, and sets him on the apron. Mayhem slowly begins to show signs of life, rolling over into the ring! But Dread takes his time in getting back into the ring, climbing up the steps and stepping through the ropes!

Bryan- Mayhem begins to crawl towards the corner, unable to stand! He’s bleeding heavily from the head, I’m guessing from that sledgehammer. Dread simply laughs at Mayhem from the far corner, taunting the fallen champion!

Badger- But don’t underestimate the champion! Dread needs to stay on him here.

Yale- Wait, Dread gets a head of steam, and leaps at Mayhem, driving the head of that sledgehammer into Mayhem’s skull! What a move! An elbow drop using the sledgehammer!

Bryan- This is already going too far! Dread gets back to his feet, finally setting the sledgehammer down!

(Dread smiles again, raising his arms into the air. The crowd begins booing him, and a drink even flies down through the crowd, landing soundly on Dread’s back. Dread ignores the unruly fan, and heads back to Mayhem.)

Bryan- And listen to the boos from the crowd for Jason Dread! Dread lifts Mayhem back up, but Mayhem is almost all dead weight! Dread sets Mayhem up in the corner, and simply begins to shout at him.

Yale- Whoa, and there’s a slap to the face! Dread is simply disrespecting Mayhem here! Dread turns around to flip off the fans, but he turns back to find a big right hand from Mayhem! And another!

Bryan- Mayhem is coming to life! Mayhem begins backing Dread out of the corner with some hard right hands, pummeling Dread with whatever he’s got left! Dread manages to fire off a right hand of his own, but Mayhem doesn’t stop!

Yale- Mayhem finally hits the ropes, and charges Dread! Dread manages to leap all the way over Mayhem, who hits the other side! Mayhem bounces back, and Dread leaps again! But this time Mayhem catches him in midair!

Bryan- But Dread drops back, and takes Mayhem over into a hurricanrana! What a move!

Badger- Yeah, yeah, so what. I know Kung Fu.

Bryan- Dread rushes up to the top rope, not wasting a single movement! Mayhem isn’t moving, as Dread takes off!

(Dread flips back quickly, soaring through the air with an amazing moonsault! Camera flashes light up the crowd as Dread lands perfectly on Mayhem.)

Bryan- WHAT A MOVE! A perfect moonsault from Dread!

Yale- But Dread may have hurt himself there a bit! Dread is clutching his left knee, and may have injured it on the way down!

(As both men lie on the mat and the count begins, a double feature appears. We see a slow motion replay of Dread’s moonsault, and the landing clearly shows him falling with most of his weight on his legs.)

Badger- It’s still not Kung Fu.

Yale- Will you please shut up?

Bryan- Dread’s knee is hurting here, and both men are finding themselves counted down! But both men are slowly getting to their feet, as Dread pulls himself up in the ropes. Mayhem slowly crawls for the corner, pulling himself up as best he can.

Yale- Dread takes a moment to shake off his knee, as Mayhem rises in the corner. Dread sees and opening, and charges! He dives in with a low shoulder, but Mayhem ducks out of the way, and Dread goes shoulder first into the steel post!

Bryan- Dread staggers back out of the corner, clutching his shoulder… as Mayhem hits the ropes! Mayhem hooks Dread up… HAMMER ON! HAMMER ON! Big running DDT on Dread!

(The crowd explodes with a huge chorus of cheers, as both men once again find themselves down.)

Yale- And both men are down! But that right there could be it for Dread! Come on, Jason, get up!

Badger- Did you know that I know Kung Fu?

Bryan- Badger, with all due respect, we’re trying to watch this match!

Badger- I’m bored outta my mind here.

(The cheers from the crowd suddenly turn sour, as Octavian appears at the top of the ramp. He quickly heads for the ring, as the crowd boos his arrival.)

Badger- Never mind.

(Badger suddenly rises from his seat, rushing around the ring. Octavian hops onto the apron, but Badger grabs him by the belt and pulls him off, hammering him with right hands! The crowd goes crazy as Badger pummels Octavian, who didn’t realize Badger was at ringside.)

Bryan- And Badger has left our table here to go after Octavian! Octavian came to aid Dread, but Badger is keeping this one fair! Octavian begins to battle back, and Badger and Octavian are in a fist fight on the outside!

Yale- But hold on! Here comes Toxic! Badger rolls Octavian into the ring, and follows him in, but Toxic is on his way! Toxic slides into the ring, and crushes Badger with a quick clothesline! Badger never saw him coming!

Bryan- Dread and Mayhem are both down, but the count has stopped as the official attempts to restore order!

(The crowd boos as Octavian and Toxic stomp away at Badger. However, the boos turn to cheers as President Caldera and Khan rush down the ramp! The fans go crazy as Octavian spots Caldera and Khan, and bails out. Toxic, however, continues assaulting Badger.)

Yale- CALDERA AND KHAN ARE HERE! Octavian has bailed out, and armed himself with a steel chair! But Caldera has a chair of his own, and Toxic doesn’t even see them coming!

(Khan spins Toxic around, and begins pummeling him with right hands. Badger gets to his feet, as Khan assaults Toxic, finally pummeling him out of the ring.)

Bryan- Khan dispatches of Toxic, as Badger gets to his feet and begins shouting at Octavian to come back and fight! But Octavian is hesitant!

(Octavian attempts to get to the apron, but bails out as Badger moves in. The crowd cheers wildly for Badger, as Caldera and Khan watch from the ring. Dread and Mayhem both lie hurting on the mat, as Khan begins climbing the turnbuckle. Badger raises his arms to the cheering crowd, and turns to face his allies. However, as soon as he faces Caldera, Caldera swings the chair, connecting with a vicious shot to Badger’s skull!!)

Bryan- WHAT THE HELL?!

(The crowd instantly begins to boo, confused and angry.)

Yale- What the-

Bryan- CALDERA JUST LEVELED BADGER! What the hell did he do that for?! Badger is out cold from Caldera’s chair shot, and Khan is perched on the top rope! And Toxic and Octavian are just watching in total shock!

Yale- What is going on here? Caldera turns around and tosses the chair to Khan! Khan stares down at the fallen men in the ring, and takes off!

(Khan soars through the air, moving the chair under his legs. Khan then lands perfectly with a leg drop over the chair, hitting Tristain Mayhem clean on the face. The crowd boos in total shock and incredulous hatred, as Khan and Caldera head to Dread.)

Bryan- What is this?! Why have President Caldera and Khan destroyed Badger and Mayhem!? Will someone please tell us what the hell is going on!?

Yale- Look! Caldera is pulling Dread up to his feet, as the referee is forced to count!

(Dread warily looks up at Caldera with a smile. Caldera helps Dread to his feet, as the referee makes the ten count. The crowd boos in anger and Octavian and Toxic watch in shock as the referee makes the final counts… eight…. Nine…. Ten! Mayhem doesn’t move an inch, and the bell rings.)

Bryan- DAMNIT!

Andrews- Here is your winner… and the NEW Global Championship Wrestling Heavyweight Champion… Jason Dread!!!!!

Bryan- Jason Dread is the new champion of the world! But what on earth is going on here?!

(The boos in the arena rattle the roof, as Caldera blankly asks for a microphone. Dread smiles widely as the official hands him the world title belt, which he greets with a grin, a kiss, and a warm embrace before slinging it over his shoulder. Khan stoically kicks Mayhem’s beaten body out of the ring to the floor, as Caldera takes his mic and heads for the new champion.)

Caldera- So I guess you want an explanation!

(The crowd boos him mightily, as Khan stands firmly behind him.)

Bryan- Damn right we do!

Caldera- For months, Octavian held the world championship of my company. And for months, he dominated the competition. It’s no secret that I hated Octavian, and wanted to see my belt in someone else’s hands. And then I discovered Tristain Mayhem. He was a great new talent, and I saw my next world champion. So for months, I did everything in my power to give him that belt. I gave him chance after chance, opportunity after opportunity, shot after shot… and never once could he capitalize. In the end, Octavian flat out outsmarted him, and in the end it was ME who gave Tristain Mayhem the Heavyweight Championship of the World. I MADE TRISTAIN MAYHEM!

(The crowd boos heavily once more.)

Bryan- What? This is ridiculous!

Yale- It’s true, JB!

Caldera- But then, after months of agonizing over Tristain Mayhem, putting my time, effort, and money into Tristain Mayhem… what does he do? He ran off and joined Double Cool. He went off and formed a tag team with his little bimbo best friend Jennifer Krug. It’s no secret that Tristain is a womanizer. When he saw Nanci was growing with his child, he moved on to something better for the time being. He asked me if I would give Double Cool my blessing, and I did. But he then proceeded to piss on my title belt, piss on my company, and piss on me when he won the tag team titles. He gave up on what truly mattered, telling me that he was in love. Well, Tristain, love has no place in my company, and love has no place in this world!

Bryan- This is sickening!

Caldera- I spent months giving you thousands of dollars each week, paying your bills, I paid for that wedding… I was your BEST MAN! I was there for you, Tristain, and you walked out on me. And so I called up my old friend Khan, and we made a decision. We knew that Mayhem didn’t deserve this title belt… Jason Dread did. And we knew that the only way to make things they way they were… Was to bring back the ESTABLISHMENT!

(The crowd erupts with an awestruck chatter, as Octavian and Toxic are taken aback. Dread simply nods, as Caldera looks down at Mayhem’s broken corpse.)

Bryan- THE ESTABLISHMENT IS BACK!?

Yale- WHAT A NIGHT!

Caldera- You people have forgotten who I am! I am GCW! I am the boss! I am professional wrestling! I am you judge, jury, and executioner… and I AM THE ESTABLISHMENT!

(Established cues up in the arena, as Caldera drops the mike down onto Mayhem’s back. Octavian and Toxic stare at the new Establishment in the ring. Jason Dread, the world champion, Khan, the enforcer, and Caldera, the boss, all join hands and celebrate in the ring, as the incredulous crowd litters the ring with trash and drinks.)

Bryan- Can you believe what he just said?! President Caldera has turned his back on everyone here tonight, and the Establishment is back!

Yale- GCW will never be the same, JB! Finally, things are the way they should be again!!

Bryan- Fans, we’re out of time! For David Yale I’m James Bryan…. Good Night Everybody!

(Dread raises his world title into the air one more time, as Caldera and Khan stoically exit the ring. The Establishment heads back up the ramp, as Badger and Mayhem lie in pain at ringside, as Octavian and Toxic simply discuss the events to each other. The Establishment finally reaches the top of the ring, and Caldera points to Dread one last time. Dread displays the world title belt to the crowd one last time, as Rampage fades to a close…………)
