Slater laughs while taking in the mix of cheers and boos.
Sean Slater: I do know one thing… each and every one of the individuals who believe that I’m a man they shouldn’t admire and applaud will be proved wrong once I hammer the eternally moronic, ever loving crap out of all the monkeys here in the AWA that have simply been pleading to have a boot shoved straight down their gullet. Once I smarten those folks up then I’ll aim too the mountains and go for whatever championship gold that I decide I should… because we all know that everyone in this business thrives on gold and I’m no different.
Slater nods prior to raising the microphone back up to his chops.
Sean Slater: I can’t really tell you who I’m going after first, or which man I’m going too tech a very valuable lesson too… BUT I will show you. The night is young, I’m sure I’ll being seeing you all later.
With that Slater drops the mic and thumps his chest with an open hand before pointing too the crowd as we continue into our next segment.
The scene opens up backstage at Monday Night Insomnia, Jason has just arrived at the arena with Sophie and Carry not far behind him, he has a sports bag slung over his shoulder which we can only guess contains his wrestling gear, Jade Green approaches him for an interview.
JG: Jason, you got a minute to spare?
Jason stops and turns around.
JS: One minute and that’s it, I’m in a hurry.
Jade nods.
JG: Okay then, what are your thoughts going into your match against Staniak?
Jason grins.
JS: Like I said two nights ago, Staniak has lost his edge ever since loosing the world title, if he hadn’t then we would be seeing him in the main event rather than opening shows, and whilst I have no doubt that Staniak will regain his edge it won’t be tonight and it won’t be at my expense.
Jason walks off as the camera pans to ringside.
Hold Back The Day by Devildriver hits over the PA system and the crowd know exactly whats coming up now, thats right the man they all hate, "The Red Ripper" Staniak makes his way out from the back, he looks around the arena with an evil look on his face, a smirk towards the cameras later and he makes his way down the ramp, once at the bottom of the ramp he walks around the ring bad mouthing the fans, he then slides in to the ring and jumps on top of the turnbuckle and taunts, he then jumps down, runs to another corner and does the same thing, he jumps down from that turnbuckle and gets ready for his match!
Ladies and gentlemen introducing Staniak
The oppening riff for "Halo" is herd over the PA, as soon as it Rob Flynn starts the opening verse Jason emerges from the back with his sister Carry not far behind, the fans boo him but he ignores them and walks down the ramp, he slides into the ring as Carry takes up a position at ringside and waits for the match to start
And his Opponent Jason "the phenominal" Stevens
Tex Martin: These men have been facing each other for weeks and Staniak never seems to lose against Jason! This week I hope it's different
Duff Travers: Old habits never die Tex
Tex Martin: Expect the unexpected in AWA
Duff Travers: That was expected Tex
Staniak gets to his feet, closely followed by Jason. Staniak grabs his hand and whips him into the turnbuckle, before following up, jumping onto the second turnbuckle and hitting a rising knee into Jason's jaw! Jason propels out, holding Staniak in a chancery, going for a DDT, but Staniak manages to hold on to Jason. Staniak bounces off the ropes, and drops Stevens with a modified running spinebuster. Staniak covers, 1, 2, Jason kicks out. Jason gets to his feet and goes to pull Staniak up, but Staniak rolls him up into a small package! The referee counts, 1, 2, Steven kicks out! Both men quickly get to their feet and rush each other. Jason ducks a clothesline, Smith quickly turns around and Staniak kicks him in the gut. Staniak grabs Jason for a DDT, but Jason hits a northern light's suplex! Jason bridges, 1, 2, Staniak kicks out.
Tex Martin: Comptetion always grows stronger between these two
Duff Travers: I'm afraid I have to agree with you Tex on this one
Staniak gets to his feet and drags Jason up. Staniak whips Jason across the ring and Jason bounces off the ropes. Staniak runs at Jason and raises a knee into his gut, and Staniak flies over his knee and to the ground. Staniak falls to the floor and locks Jason in a headlock. Jason tries to kick and flail his way out of it, but Staniak holds the hold in tight. Jason tries to get himself to the ropes, but Staniak dead weights in the middle of the ring. Jason struggles and slips and manages to hook his foot under the bottom rope. The referee counts the break, and Staniak releases at 3. Staniak gets to his feet and waits for Jason, who slowly gets to his feet. Staniak grabs Jason in a reverse DDT position and drops him down back-first onto his knee! Jason bounces up and holds his back in pain, and Staniak gets to his feet and locks in a masterlock, before pulling Jason down and locking in a leg scissors just under Jason's ribcage!
Tex Martin: Do you think he's going to submit!!?
Duff Travers: I doubt it Tex
Jason is fading in the ring, fighting against the hold. Staniak tightens up the hold, the referee asks Jason if he wants to quit, but jason shakes his head. Staniak tightens up again, and the referee raises Jason's hand, which falls. The referee raises it again and it falls again. The referee raises it for the third time, but Jason manages to keep his hand up. Jason thrusts his elbow into Staniak ribs, and then hits him more and more. Staniak loosens the hold, and Jason manages to wriggle his way out the hold. Staniak regroups and manages to grab on to Jason, but Jason manages to grab the bottom rope. Staniak gets to his feet and wipes the sweat of his forehead. Staniak pulls Jason up and kicks him in the gut, then raises his knee into Jason's gut five times. Staniak goes for a suplex, and Jason falls on his back and lies motionless in the ring. Staniak looks left and right Staniak goes to the top rope, taunts the crowd for a few seconds whilst laughing, then comes flying through the air landing the Fall From Grace down on to Jason. 1..2..3
Stormy Canyon: Ladies and gentlemen your winner for this match is Staniak
Erik Black stands beside Jade Green. He looks better than he has in the past, though he is still a bit pale. He wears a black Armani suit.
Jade: You have had the week off for two straight weeks now. Why is that?
Black: Have you been living under a rock, Jade? I have am injured. I have three broken ribs and a punctured lung. I have to breathe into a tube for fifteen minutes every two hours. Now, I didn’t ask for the weeks off. I actually approached Goth and asked for a match. He declined and said that I needed to get a little more recuperation before I brought the Universal Title back to the Templars.
Jade: But Bill Barnhart holds the title. How can you bring it back.
Erik Black shook his head.
Black: I guess you HAVE been living under a rock. It is no secret that William demanded a match against Moordune for the Universal Title at the pay per view.
Jade: Are you saying that you believe Bulldog will lose that match?
Black: But he will. William does not have what it takes to take down a man like Moordune. He is far too slow. He is not skilled enough. It was stupid of him to demand a match against a man like Moordune.
Jade: Is there tension in the locker room between you and the others?
Black: No. I was not brought here to make friends. If someone is not skilled enough to win a match, then it needs to be known. William can not take down Moordune. He is not good enough.
Jade: Are the rumors true about a possible number one contenders match at the pay per view? And if so, how will you injuries affect that?
Black: They are. And yes, I am involved. And yes, I will win the thing and go on to be the Universal Champion. My injuries will have no effect of the match. I proved a few weeks ago that even at only about ten percent, barely able to walk a breathe, I am better than any one else on the roster. I am the best. I am a wrestling prodigy, Jade… Now.. I have matters to attend.
Erik walks out of view.
The scene opens up in the Asylum Family locker room, where we see Monoxide and Crazy J sitting and talking
I want to thank you for the car and for the house... I am going to have the AWA universal champion, and I know I can take him on
Yes I have no doubt in you, but you must remember stay focused, and keep an eye out on ringside, specially from the Grave Diggaz.
Yes I will, but J if I win this match this title is not enough for me, because if I can beat Bill you know I deserve a shot at that title
This is not something to discuss now, and remember that I am your boss as well, not just your partner, and there are limits... Don't you dare to cross those limits with me!
Ya, Ya, I know that
Monoxide storms out of the locker room and heads out for his match.
A video plays showing the recent attacks by the Asylum Family on the Grave Diggas. The video ends and Crazy J and Skull Master are shown back stage they both are laughing and joking about the attacks when Skull Master holds up two Wrestling action Figures and one is Taxx and one is Nailz. Skull looks at them both and then holds up Nailz away from him and Crazy J looks at it and holds up A skull Staff and Crazy J blows out of his mouth and fire comes from the skull staff and the action figure is burning in Skull Masters Hand. Skull is holding it with a thick black leather glove on and he grabs it and shakes the flames off. The face is burned and melted. Skull laughs as he holds it up for the camera. The video stops and Stormy is in the ring ready to introduce the next match.
Stormy: This is the Brother VS Brother match and it is a Last Man standing match. This match was ordered by Crazy J. The winner will face any member of the Asylum Family next week in a steel cage match. Coming to the ring at this time, One half of the grave diggas is Taxx.
"Take it to the Limit" hits as the lights go out. Lightning strikes the stage as Taxx spontaneously appears. The lights come back on as flames shoot from either side of the ramp as Taxx walks down to the ring. He takes off his coat and hat as he awaits his opponent.
And now his challenger and brother, he is the other half of the grave diggas he is Nailz.
The arena turns red with flames dancing around the sides of the stage. Nailz rises out of a smokey mist from the middle as if rising from the depths of hell with Azael at his side. A flame trail follows down the isleway until Nailz heads to the ring. When he gets in the ring he stands in the middle facing the camera as a huge flame wall erupts to the huge cheers of the crowd.
The two men enter the ring and they both lay down on the ground.
Tex: What in the hell are they doing? Crazy J isn’t going to be happy.
Duff: well they didn’t want to do this match so I don’t blame them.
the lights dim before the ref can start counting and they go all the way out you can hear sounds and things being broken in the ring the lights come back on and Taxx is inside of a glass casket that is standing up and he is beating on the glass trying to get out. Nailz is laying on the ground. Rex, Monoxide, Shipman are standing at the ramp as Crazy J and Skull master walk out they are dressed in black pants and have on Black Asylum Family shirts. Skull Master has on a cut off army jacket with a Huge Anarchy sign on the back and he is holding the Skull Staff in one hand and the Mega Phone in the other. Crazy J and Skull Master both have the tag team belts on their waist as they head to the ring. The Ref in the ring starts counting and easily hits 10. He calls for the bell as the two men enter the ring.
Skull Master: So what do we have hear, the two brothers don’t want to fight each other that is so sad… but Taxx you have won the match but at what cost, you see we where going to et you two fight it out and leave you Alone this week but you couldn’t do that could you. So before the match we picked which one would be the victim if you didn’t play by the rules and lucky for you Taxx you won.
Crazy J lays Nailz on the turnbuckle and smiles as Skull Master holds up the staff with the skull on it. The eyes turn red. Taxx casket sprays blood into the casket and turns him all red. Skull Master then turns to Nailz and he holds the stick up once more as Crazy J walks over and takes the staff. Crazy J goes to spit on it like he did in the video but he turns the stick up and blows fire straight into the air and Taxx casket starts filling with smoke. Taxx beats on the glass as it is hard to see him. Crazy J then turns to Nailz who is starting to come to. Crazy J takes the staff and throws it back to Skull. Skull Master lifts it up and the eyes turn blue… A Liquid start filling the casket and the windows fog up but then the skull shoots the liquid out as well and Nailz grabs his face and falls to the ring floor.
Crazy J: So word is getting out that the AWA has entered some financial trouble but I want the fans to know that we will die broke before I will let some suits tell us how to spend the money this glass casket tonight cost a lot of money but I don’t care. There are no tag teams in this place so these belts that I wanted to hand out already are going to stay with us. And after the PPV you Taxx picked to face shipman inside the steel cage so good luck boys.
Crazy J and Skull Master head to the back as paramedics enter the ring to work on them.
The scene cuts backstage and sees Shipman pacing u and down the hall. He is bleeding from the arm and has a pissed off but happy look on his face. Shipman: Yes I have the week off but did you think I would give up the chance to come home to my stomping grounds? This is a homecoming of sort for me but it doesn't matter. I am here to make a little announcement. Me and The Family would like to issue an open challange to any dumb motherfucker on the AWA roster to face me inside my House of Pain. See I was thinking, that last one. It went by to damn fast I mean hell the match was over before the cell even hit the floor. An Ultimate Warrior entrance is longer then it was. So just to make this quick I'll eveun idiotize it. Me versus anyone, house of pain match. Oh ya I almost forgot. For every week I do not respond I will put an AWA member in the hospital. Now enjoy the rest of the night's festivities. With that said Shipman walks down the hall leaving a trail of blood behind him.
We are in the office of Goth where Bill Barnhart has arrived to discuss tonight's match with Monoxide. Goth is sitting at his desk and Bill is sitting in a chair in front of Goth's desk.
BULLDOG BILL: Uh, explain this to me again Boss Man. I thought the International Title was the replacement for the Asylum Title which was the Hardcore Title. So I also thought this Title was on the line at every Insomnia and every Pay-per-View. So how did Monoxide slide out of defending the Internatinal Title the week after he won it?
GOTH: I want to see what he is really made of so I sent him up against you.
BULLDOG BILL: Oh really? Somehow I smell Crazy J in this decision. Why would you want a successful young wrestler who just went 4-0 and won his first Title Belt on his fourth match go up against me and lose?
GOTH: Because I am a sadistic bastard?
BULLDOG BILL: Okay, now we're getting to the bottom of this. Don't worry Goth, I not only got Monoxide's number this Insomnia but I got Falimetahos dead to rights at the March Pay-per-View also.
GOTH: You know he is trying to blame you for his losing the International Title to Monoxide right?
BULLDOG BILL: I had nothing to do with him losing. Mister Hippo simply got out maneuvered by a younger and smaller and faster wrestler who had the foresight to bring a bottle of Ether to the ring to use later in the match. That wasn't anything I did, that was Monoxide's doing.
GOTH: Just be ready for a mad Falimetahos at the March Pay-per-View. He is not very happy he lost to Monoxide last week.
BULLDOG BILL: Oh, gee, I'm shaking in my boots thinking about a mad Falimetahos like I am shaking in my boots having to face Monoxide tonight. NOT! When are the other wrestlers on the Roster going to realize that I am the REAL DEAL here? Sheesh! The indignities I have to endure!
Bill gets up to leave and he and Goth HIGH FIVE each other. As Bill leaves the office of Goth we see Goth give him the THUMBS UP signal for tonight's match with Monoxide. We now return to Tex and Duff who are getting ready to call the next match.
Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is contested under standard rules!! The first wrestler to come down the aisle stands in at 6’0 and weighs in at 240 pounds!! Hailing from Oakland, California!! The current AWA Universal Champion!! Bill Barnhart!!
TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS by Bachman Turner Overdrive hits the speakers. The TRON crackles to life and we see a close-up shot of Bill Barnhart and Iris the English Bulldog. The TRON then shifts scenes to seversl clips of Bill's wrestling matches where he is either administering his Bulldog or Piledriver to his opponent. The spotlights focus on the backstage curtains and we see Bulldog Bill Barnhart step through the curtains leading Iris on her leash (Iris is not always present at Bill's matches though). Bill walks confidently along the entrance walkway and under the TRON. As he walks under the TRON, pink pyros erupt causing a cascade of pink sparks to spill down on the entrance walkway around Bill (and Iris if she is accompanying him). Bill stops at the landing at the top of the entrance ramp to play the crowd. He then takes off with a quick pace to the ring. When Bill arrives at the ring he (hands the leash of Iris to an attendant at ringside) climbs the ring steps, walks along the ring apron, and then ducks through the ropes into the ring. Bill then takes up residence in a corner to await the arrival of his opponent.
Stormy Canyon: And his opponent, standing in at 6’2 and weighing in at 188 pounds!! Hailing from Los Angeles, California!! He is our current International Champion!!! Monoxide!!!
The whole arena fades to black and you begin to see smoke rising from the ring, the ring lights up and you see a circle of smoke in the middle of it while God of thunder is playing. The ring then goes on fire (almost like Kane's entrance). and then you see Monoxide step out from the smoke with his head up his eyes closed, and his tounge sticking out of his mouth while shaking his head.
Tex Martin: Two champions, a non title match. It’s going to be interesting to see how this will turn out as the veteran is facing a young brash kid.
Duff Travers: Bill is going to kick that stupid face paint of the face of that kid. Enough said.
The bell rings as the match gets under way, Bill gets face to face with Monoxide and starts to talk smack towards him and pushes his finger into the chest. Bill finally pushes him away and that causes Monoxide to respond with a vicious slap across the face of the current AWA Universal Champion. This causes Bill to get enraged as he drives a knee into the midsection of the International Champion and then grabbing him by the hair and slamming him down on his back. Bill starts to stomp away on Monoxide before grabbing him by the head and locking him in a sitting reversed chinlock as Bill puts all his weight on the neck of the International Champion.
Tex Martin: Solid and basic strategy of the Universal Champion against the other singles champ.
Duff Travers: Told ya, he’s going to make short workout of this joke.
Tex Martin: Joke? He beat Falimetahos Moordune!!
Duff Travers: And who gave him the assist to beat that fat slob? Exactly the guy who is putting him to sleep.
Monoxide is slowly trying to get to his feet and succeeds and drives several elbows in the stomach area of the Universal Champion and then executes a Dropkick that staggers the champion in the ropes and Monoxide runs into Bill Barnhart and clotheslines him over the top rope as he follows him to the outside while holding on to the ropes. Monoxide hops off the apron and grabs Bill by the head and starts to pound away at his face before driving his knee in the face of the Universal Champion. He rolls in and out of the ring to break the ten count and then starts to lift Bill up to his feet and going for a push that sends Bill’s lower back into the ring apron. Bill drops to his knees and holds on to his lower back.
Tex Martin: What aggression from the youngster
Duff Travers: So what? Barnhart is the people’s champion
Tex Martin: He is what?
Monoxide slides back in the ring and sits on his knees while staring at the current AWA Universal Champion. The referee starts to use the ten count on Barnhart as he slowly slides back in the ring at the count of seven. As he has gotten in the ring it is Monoxide that drives several knees in the lower back of Barnhart. He then climbs the second turnbuckle and goes off the ropes with an elbow drop on the lower back of the champion. He rolls Barnhart over and then goes for the cover, but the referee only gets a count of two. Monoxide runs to the ropes and then charges back towards Bill Barnhart and goes for a big time splash on the champ. But just as he jumps towards the champion it is Bill that raises his knees up and catches the International Champion. Both men are now on their backs spend as they are gasping for air, we see Bill slowly getting to his feet first.
Duff Travers: Now get that idiot Bill!! What the?
Suddenly we see a large figure emerging from the backstage area all dressed in black and has a Bill Barnhart mask on.
Tex Martin: Who is that?
Duff Travers: Can’t you tell? He has a frame of a near 500 pounder!!! He is suspended for crying out loud!!!
Bill doesn’t notice the figure as he grabs Monoxide and throws him out of the ring, where Monoxide’s head hits the steel security railing. He then turns around and sees the figure and runs to the outside where he starts to fight the big man. The referee starts to use the ten count and calls for the bell after the count of ten.
Stormy Canyon: Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has counted both men out during this match as this leads to a double count out!!!
We see the big “Bill Barnhart” battle Bill Barnhart and the two head to the back where the show slowly fades to darkness.
Jason Stevens vs. Staniak
