4 on 4 elimination tag team tournament; OWA Champion Executioner defends against Traci Lane; Chaos battles Mr. America in best 2 of 3 falls
(Outside scene with light snow falling. scene moves to a nice suburban house. Santa’s sleigh is on top of the house. You see the last of him escape down the chimney. Inside the house the sounds of channels changing and the distinct sounds of the OWA theme. In the top floor of the house, two children, a boy and a girl, look around the corner and begin to creep downstairs. They see Santa and run over and leap onto the couch with him as the OWA Logo crashes through the image and the words “Holiday In Hell”. Fade to a jam packed crowd.)
Ed: Welcome to Holiday In Hell!!! We’re coming to you live from the Omni in Atlanta and we have a jam packed PPV extravaganza for you tonight. We have the Quad-team tournament, with the winners becoming the OWA 6-man champions. Plus that important cage match for the OWA Championship. Current champion Executioner will defend the title inside a steel cage against Wheel of Torture winner Traci Lane. My co-host tonight is Biff Franklin.
Biff: Sheesh. I didn’t think I was ever going to get to talk.
Ed: Any predictions for tonight’s tournament?
Biff: Of course. I think it’ll be the Plague all the way! And I predict that we’ll have a new world’s champion after tonight.
Ed: You do? Executioner is a Plague member.
Biff: Yeah, but without Freddy at ringside, I don’t think Executioner will have a chance.
Ed: Before we go down for our first match, let’s hear from some of the participants in this first match.
Tom Tomorrow
The camera opens on a cheap hotel room in some unnamed part of some unnamed city. Tom Tomorrow, Wrestler of the Future, reclines on a bed as he watches television. He is watching a wrestling program, and smirking at what he sees. He then notices the camera, and sits up as he speaks into it.]
Tom: This is most disappointing. For the past few days I’ve been watching every professional wrestling program I can find. I had intended to arrive in the year 1988 and take on men like Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair--legends whose names have come down even to my own era. But I look at them as they are in 1996 and wonder what all the fuss was about. Hogan? He looks like a toothpick! And Flair? He looks like an old man! Fortunately we of the 25th century have transcended the aging process.
He gestures toward the television.]
But then I stumbled upon another wrestling league. The OWA. Men and women of the finest athletic abilities. At last it would appear that I have found a place to make my debut in this age. So I’ve signed a contract, and I shall be making my debut at “Holidays in Hell.” It appears that I shall be joined by three other newcomers for my first match. While I am not terribly fond of wrestling on a team, I have seen my partners and they appear to be of adequate ability, given their lower position on the evolutionary ladder. Ricky Hype, Fast Fighter, Samantha Tanner....yes, I believe they’ll perform we’ll enough.
Of course, they’re still using the same tired wrestling moves that went out of style in the 21st century, but given that our opponents do also, and given that having me on a team is much like adding three extra members, I am confident of our chances of success. And at “Holidays in Hell” it will become plain to all that Tom Tomorrow, the future of professional wrestling, has arrived!

Ed: Well. I see Figaro, MegaDiesel and Truck. Where is Fate? This is his team?!?
Biff: I keep telling you. That guy is a loser! No one ever listens to me.
Ed: Can you blame them? Looks like this is going to be a handicapped match. Team Debut against Team Fate without the Fate.
Biff: Looks like it’ll be Samantha Tanner against Mack Truck to start things off.

Ed: Watch out! From behind. Hype with a roll up. one. two. three!! It’s over that quickly!
Announcer: Winners of this match. in 7: 30, Team “Debut”
Biff: Brawlers Inc. are pissed and going after Fate who’s fled the area after laying Truck out with that pipe.
Ed: I’d consider this an upset if it weren’t for the fact that Fate and Mack have been at each other’s throats for weeks.
Biff: Who cares?!?
Ed: We’re ready for our next match. Let’s go down to ringside.

Stallion with a body slam and he tries for the suplex, but Mariko blocks it. Mariko off the ropes with a flying clothesline and a tag to Rachel Ryan.
Biff: In comes Ryan. They double team him with a fist to the midsection, and Mariko leaves the ring. Ryan misses a clothesline and Stallion tags out to Asian Invasion.

Ed: Mustang goes out over the top rope and to the floor. Stallion is down checking his tag team partner. They are not looking too happy with Fever. In fact. Wait just a second. They are walking out of this match.
Biff: No. it’s a misunderstanding it’ll be worked out.
Ed: Fever is pleading for them to come back and Consuelo tags in Gustaffson. Gustaffson walks up behind Fever and picks him up. Drop Piledriver on Fever by Gustaffson!!! Cover. Ryan, Salyards and Mariko make sure that Asian is kept at bay. one. two. th. His foot is on the ropes, but Wendy Ryker just pushed it off!!! Three!! That’s a three count. Femme’s beat the Plague!!
Biff: What the hell?? That Wendy is a turncoat! She just turned on Freddy!!!
Ed: I think Wendy is a Femme Fatale. They are high fiving and hugging out there. I think Fever’s been scammed. Not only has the tag team champions walked out on him. So has Wendy Ryker.
Biff: I cannot believe how they are treating Fever.
Ed: I am hearing that Elaine Bryant is with the tag team champions. Let’s go there now.
The Chiefs
Elaine - in the back: I’m here with Johnny Stallion and Mike Mustang. What’s going on? Why did you abandon Freddy Fever, after all the times he’s helped you win the OWA Tag Team Championship??
Stallion: We’ll let me tell you something little woman. We won the tag belts on our own, we don’t need Fever or the Plague. We wanna take the OWA by storm by ourselves not with some overlord who thinks he can run everything.
