John: "And a kickout by ICE."
Sheena: “Robert Payne bringing ICE to his feet and sending him off the ropes... Payne misses a clothesline... ICE hits Payne with a kick to the midsection... waistlock uplift... and A P=O=W=E=R=B=O=M=B by ICE!!"
John: "Now ICE is going for the cover!"
1 . . 2 . . thr..
(Crowd goes: "Ooooooh!")
Sheena: "Payne gets his shoulder up! And ICE now applying a COBRA CLUTCH!! The Bullet is in some trouble!"
John: "Payne is struggling to reach the ropes! ICE lets go of the hold and hits him with another European Uppercut! Robert Payne is down! And ICE is heading to the top ropes! Payne is not moving at all... FROG SPLASH BY ICE!! Man, there was impact to that one! And ICE is going for the pin!"
1 . . 2 . . Thr..
(Crowd goes: "Ooooh! Aaaah!")
Sheena: "Kickout!"
John: "I can't believe it! That must've taken all of The Bullet's strength to kick out!!"
Sheena: "ICE now picking up Payne. He's attempting a Piledriver! But Robert counters with a backflip!"
(Face pop)
Sheena: "ICE is getting back up. Robert Payne bounces off the ropes... S=P=I=N=N=I=N=G H=E=E=L K=I=C=K!! And both men fall to the outside!"
John: "Payne hitting some quick sidekicks on ICE. The Bullet jumping up onto the apron! PLANCHA DIVE!! And ICE goes down! And Payne is slowly rolling back into the ring!"
Sheena: "These two are giving it all tonight!!"
John: "And ICE is making his way slowly into the ring. Payne meets him on the apron... Payne is trying a Vertical Suplex... But ICE lands on his feet behind him. The Bullet turns around... a front waistlock by ICE into a BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!!"
Sheena: "And ICE is setting Payne on the top rope! Both men are up top... G=U=T=W=R=E=N=C=H S=U=P=E=R=P=L=E=X TO THE OUSTIDE!! OH MY GOD!! BOTH MEN CRASH TO THE OUTSIDE!!"
(Crowd goes: "Ooooooooh!!")
John: "They both look really hurt as Davie starts the count! Robert Payne is not moving at all!! And I don't think ICE knows where he's at!"
(The ref counts 1... 2... 3... 4... 5...)
John: "This match has been extremely demanding on both wrestlers. ICE is beginning to move now but it doesn't look like he's going to make it in time...
(The ref counts 6... 7... 8... 9... 10!!)
DING! DING! DING!
Sheena: "Well, it looks like this one turns out to be a draw. These two gave it everything they had!"
John: "Surely we'll be seeing a lot more of ICE and Robert Payne in the future. Later on tonight in the big ten-man elimination match, and then both men will probably be participating in the upcoming Cruiserweight tournament."
(Davie is climbing back into the ring to proclaim the outcome while ICE and Payne are slowly staggering back up)
Davie: "Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has ruled this match... A DOUBLE COUNTOUT!!"
(Crowd pop!)
(Shot opens showing old grainy black and white video of 'Bad Boy' Mark Bagwell being Choke Slammed by Martial Law, which then switches to a black screen with white letters which reads:
It Started In Dawg Pound Wresting . . .
Then switch to slightly fuzzy black and white video of Officer May Order taking down the 'Dangerous Queen' Sachie Yokoyama with a Flying Neck Scissors Sleeper. After that it again switches to a black background which reads;
It Matured In The Grand Dragon . . .
Switch again to slightly fuzzy video showing Law slapping 'the Arrest' (a Bar Arm Choke Hold) on Renegade in the middle of the ring. It then switches back to the black screen which now reads;
Now It's Taking Over The ESWP . . .
Shot switches to more recent video from an up close ringside camera showing Martial Law pinning Deathmaster with a lateral press. With the sound of the Slam it again switches to a black background and white letters, which now read;
Soon It Will Come To The IEWA, And There Is Only One Question . . .
Fast Cut to five silhouetted figures of varying sizes who are blackout against the flashing red and blue lights from a police car behind them, as 'Bad Boys' from Inner Circle (The theme from the TV Show COPS) begins to play...
MUSIC: What Ya' Gonna' ... WHAT YA' GONNA' ... WHAT YA' GONNA' DO?
With that the baseline begins to thump and the following words are superimposed across the dark images as the music begins to play;
What Are YOU Gonna' Do?
(The picture returns to a serious looking John Marshall seated at the ringside commentators table.)
John: "Fans, we have just received news that Martial Law has been attacked on his way into the arena... not by his opponent, Andrew Tucker, but by ESWP Superstar El Hombre!"
Sheena: "El Hombre and Martial Law have been feuding in the ESWP for a long while about the ESWP Television Championship... and somehow, El Hombre managed to sneak in backstage. We have heard rumors that El Hombre was in contractual negotiations with the IEWA but such unsportsmanlike behavior will surely not help Mr. Hombre to get a contract here in the IEWA!"
John: "I understand that Tako Kakuta is backstage, trying to get a few comments."
(The camera switches backstage where Tako, smiling, is standing before a locker room labeled "Mr. Law and Ms. Order")
Tako: "John, I am sorry to tell you that Mr. Law is unable to provide us with any comments. I have been talking to Dr. Manoli who examined Mr. Law following the attack. Mr. Law’s injuries are not severe but he will have to forfeit tonight's match with Mr. Tucker. We have not received any detailed information about the attack but Mr. Hombre seems to have jumped Mr. Law on his way into the arena and attacked him with a bullwhip and then hit him repeatedly with Mr. Law’s ESWP Television title belt. Mr. Law has only sustained minor injuries but Dr. Manoli did not allow Mr. Law to wrestle tonight so as not to risk a further injury. John and Sheena, back to you."
(The camera switches back to ringside, Davie is standing in the ring in his Santa Claus costume with the mike)
Davie: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have just been informed that Martial Law is unable to compete tonight. Therefore, Andrew Tucker will win this matchup by FORFEITURE!!"
(Boos and yells from the crowd!! Immediately, "Hip Hop Bommi Bop" by DTH plays over the PA, and the Mania Girls come out to delight the crowd and calm them down with their dance routines)
John: "Ladies and gentlemen, Andrew Tucker wins this match via forfeiture, and I am sure the feud between Mr. Law and Mr. Hombre is far from over. We hope to receive some comments later on tonight. Fans, apologies that Mr. Law’s and Mr. Tucker’s in-ring debuts, much anticipated as they are, are not going to happen here tonight."
Sheena: "However we do have the match between Sonja Victory and Crimson which is being brought forward in time because of this change in the schedule. Let's see what Sonja and her sister Sarah had to say about Crimson and this match earlier on today."
SARAH AND SONJA VICTORY
(The camera opens on Sarah and Sonja Victory. Both of the pretty young women are dressed in jeans and Sonja has on a white CK shirt and Sarah has a black Planet Hollywood shirt. Sarah has her hair pinned up and Sonja's is down around her face. Both ladies are smiling and laughing about something said before the camera came on and standing in front of an IEWA backdrop.)
Sonja: "Well, the big night is coming up. I didn't fare so well in the Skyweight battle royal, but on Sunday, I get a chance to go one on one with Crimson..."
Sarah: "Crimson? What is that? Some kind of perfume?"
Sonja: "No, it's the lady I'm fighting. I don't know, maybe her parents were hippies or something."
Sarah: "Maybe she just couldn't come up with anything better. What'd you do Crimson, pick a name at random? I hear the color crimson is all the rage in Paris this year darling."
Sonja (laughing): "What's that?"
Sarah: "That was my impression of the Prima Donna's. But speaking of rage, I see that Dalbello hasn't had the guts to sign a match with me. What's the matter? You figure out I'm too good for you? You need to send your... what? Cousin? Sister? Mom? All of the above... what? Anyways you need to send Medusa, who if memory served was named after some old hag in Greek mythology with a perpetual bad hair day. Well, I'll take on the snake-woman. It will be just like fighting Dalbello."
Sonja: "It will?"
Sarah: "Well, they're so inbred, it doesn't matter. I mean that's why they all look like freaks and act like imbeciles. But back to Crimson, you think life treated you poorly? Yeah... I heard about you, poor mistreated little you. Well when you get in the ring with my sister, you're going to get mistreated again when she beats the daylights out of you."
Sonja: "Crimson, this is my chance to show what I can do, so watch out, you're going down hard."
Sarah: "You're going down hard?"
Sonja: "I got a little carried away."
(They both laugh at that as the camera fades to black.)
(We return to ringside. Davie is back in the ring, dressed up as Santa Claus, house mike in hand.)
Davie: "Ho! Ho! Ho!"
(Crowd pop!! Davie smiles and proceeds to announce)
CRIMSON VS. SONJA VICTORY
Davie: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, she is from Yellowknife, Canada, and weighs 137 pounds... here is CRIIIIIIIMSON!!"
(Heel pop as "Poison" by Alice Cooper plays and Crimson steps through the curtains. She is wearing a red one-piece leaving her lower back and abdomen bare. Her long, red hair hangs wildly down in her face. The fans
