BRANDON JACOBS: TIME FOR MAIN EVENT!
CHRIS WINK: I see that you have managed to calm down a bit Zack
ZACK SIRUS: Nothing that my friend Jack Daniels couldn’t fix... but just in case, stay out here Wink, Jacobs has been driving me nuts all night. That bastard needs some ritalin.
CHRIS WINK: I’ll stay right here as long as you need me, it would be an honor to help call the main event tonight.
BRANDON JACOBS: The lights are dimming and it is time to send it back to ringside for the very first Almost Live main event in the WFW era...
::Fukai Mori from Do As Infinity blares over the loud speaker::
RING ANNOUNCER: Introducing first, from Kochi, Japan! Lead down to the ring by his manager Jeriko, the last trainee of the original NGEN dojo, the "Black Rose" Kazuo Shizaki!
::Shizaki comes down with Jeriko and enters the ring::
::'Freeek!' by George Michael wails over the loud speakers::
RING ANNOUNCER: His second opponent, from West Hollywood, California, : 'Extremely BiSexual' Beau Michaels!
::Michaels comes down to the boos of the crowd and enters the ring::
::”Mechanical Animals" by Marilyn Manson blares on the loud speakers::
RING ANNOUCER: And finally, from Chicago, IL! Former BAD World Heavyweight Champion, the man, the myth, the legend... MICHAEL MANSON!
::big pop from the crowd as Manson comes out and makes his way down to the ring::
::ref checks Micheals, Shizaki, and Manson for weapons::
BRANDON JACOBS: Shizaki and Michaels are up to no good, they have been talking together in a corner of the ring eyeing Manson as he is coming in, it looks like they planning to work together to get rid of Manson first so they can face off who gets the right to advance to the finals and face Doc Silver & Shawn Hart.
ZACK SIRUS: Nothing evil about it, it is good strategy. Beau Michaels has never been able to beat Manson, but if he works with Shizaki, he might be able to do it.
BRANDON JACOBS: The bell rings and Shizaki & Michaels double team Manson! Manson is being backed up in the corner and they are taking turns laying the kicks into Manson.
CHRIS WINK: Good lord, they are kicking the bejesus out of Manson, I can hear those kicks all the way up, this isn’t MMA.
ZACK SIRUS: Look! Manson is starting to get winded! It is working.
BRANDON JACOBS: Shizaki and Michaels are conferencing... MICHAELS IS GOING UP TO THE TOP ROPE WHILE SHIZAKI HOLDS MANSON BACK! LOOKS LIKE HE GOING FOR HIS PATTENED MISSLE DROPKICK!
CHRIS WINK: I was lucky enough to see Beau Michaels in the WWL and he has one of the best pure dropkicks in all of wrestling.
BRANDON JACOBS: SHIZAKI LOSES HIS GRIP AND MICHAELS NAILS SHIZAKI WITH THE MISSLE DROPKICK!
CHRIS WINK: Manson is a strong mofo, you have to make sure you have a firm grip on him if you do a move like that.
BRANDON JACOBS: A dazed Shizaki gets up and gets into Michaels’ face... they start exchanging blows back and forth!
ZACK SIRUS: That partnership didn’t seem to last.
CHRIS WINK: Once you get into the heat of battle, it is everyone for himself. Everyone wants to be the WFW World Heavyweight Champion.
BRANDON JACOBS: Michaels has gained the advantage on the exchange, he kicks Shizaki in the midsection! Shizaki is double upped in pain... HE NAILS HIM WITH THE POWERBOMB!
ZACK SIRUS: Michaels is still fresh and had a lot of impact behind that, the best way to ground a flyer is to work over his back and knee so he can’t move around as fast as he normally can.
BRANDON JACOBS: Manson walks over to Shizaki who is lying flat on his back and nails him with a double foot stomp to his left hand!
ZACK SIRUS: The dreaded double foot stomp is a big move in Japan, looks like Manson has been studying his tapes.
BRANDON JACOBS: Michaels slaps Manson across the face and is cheewing out Manson for getting involved. He wanted to lay in some damage to Shizaki.
ZACK SIRUS: Oh my god, did he just slap Manson? Michaels is going to die.
BRANDON JACOBS: Manson brings his fist back to strike Michaels but Michaels blocks the punch... AND NAILS HIM WITH A KNEE TO THE STOMACH!
CHRIS WINK: Michaels is very, very Michael that punch didn’t connect or he would have been flipping and flopping all over the place.
BRANDON JACOBS: Michaels puts Manson in a front face lock... SWINGING NECK BREAKER! Manson grabs the back of his neck!
ZACK SIRUS: Michaels can’t let up here, if he can work over the neck, he can weaken his mobility down.
BRANDON JACOBS: Michaels puts Manson’s head between his legs and double chicken wings his arms... BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! Manson looks out of it. He is calling to the crowd that he is going to the top rope!
ZACK SIRUS: Old school move coming up!
BRANDON JACOBS: TOP ROPE LEGDROP!
CHRIS WINK: Now that was beautiful...
BRANDON JACOBS: Michaels makes the cover! 1-------------2-----SHIZAKI BREAKS UP THE FALL!
ZACK SIRUS: Why did he do that?!? It is an elimination match!
CHRIS WINK: To Michaels, beating Manson is almost greater than winning a title, by breaking up the pin, he gets back at him by taking a sure pinfall over the man who he has never been able to beat.
BRANDON JACOBS: Michaels dropkicks Shizaki down to the mat and goes back to working on Manson!
ZACK SIRUS: Nothing is going to stop Michaels from getting his pin on Manson!
BRANDON JACOBS: Michaels sets up Manson for a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP.... SHIZAKI KIPS UP AND DOUBLE DROPKICKS MANSON AND MICHAELS!
CHRIS WINK: Bad move by Michaels, he didn’t do enough to make sure Shizaki was down before he returned to Manson. That was an incredible dropkick by Shizaki.
BRANDON JACOBS: Michaels charges Shizaki.... TSUME MAHI ON MICHAELS! Shizaki waits for Manson to get up....
CHRIS WINK: Manson hasn’t been his dominant self tonight, he has been showing a lot of weakness, if Shizaki nails this, he could steal the match from both Michaels and Manson.
BRANDON JACOBS: Manson gets up.... TSUME MAHI ON MANSON! Manson falls back and bumps the ref! The falls through to the floor! Shizaki is making the cover!
ZACK SIRUS: Shizaki doesn’t see the ref is down... now he does and he is upset!
BRANDON JACOBS: WAIT A SECOND! GIDEON JUST RAN DOWN TO RINGSIDE AND GRABBED THE BREIFCASE!
CHRIS WINK: SECURITY! Somebody get security!
BRANDON JACOBS: Shizaki is standing over Manson, trashing talking him in Japanese... GIDEON NAILS HIM FROM BEHIND WITH THE BRIEFCASE IN THE BACK OF THE KNEE! Shizaki falls down! I
CHRIS WINK: That sounded like his knee exploded!
BRANDON JACOBS: GIDEON GRABS JERIKO AND SALUTES MANSON WHO IS TRYING TO GET UP IN THE RING...
GIDEON: GOD BLESS AMERICA BROTHER! ::he runs off with Jeriko over his shoulder kicking and screaming::
BRANDON JACOBS: Michaels uses the ropes to get up.... he picks Shizaki up by the hair AND DROPKICKS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE!
ZACK SIRUS: I don’t know if the camera caught it, but he landed hard on the knee he injured when he fell to the outside. Shizaki is in bad shape.
BRANDON JACOBS: The ref has woken up, Michaels eyes a weary Manson, FLURY OF PUNCHES TO THE FACE! MANSON IS WOBBLING! Michaels bounces off the ropes.... ASAI MOONSAULT! He is calling for his finisher!
ZACK SIRUS: Finally, Michaels is going to beat Manson, I can feel it!
BRANDON JACOBS: Michaels picks Manson up.... RUNNING CROTCHBOMB! 1----------------2---------KICKOUT!
CHRIS WINK: Michaels looks like he noticed something! GOOD LORD, HE IS REACHING INTO MANSON’S TIGHTS!
BRANDON JACOBS: MICHAELS HOLDS UP A CUP AND THROWS IT TO THE FLOOR! HE CALLS FOR HIS FINISHER AGAIN!
CHRIS WINK: The crowd is booing! I can’t believe Manson isn’t going to make it to the finals! It is over if he hits this!
BRANDON JACOBS: Michaels picks Manson up... RUNNING CROTCH SLAM! HE NAILED IT! MICHAELS IS GOING TO WIN! WAIT A SECOND... THERE IS A COMMOTION IN THE CROWD! OH MY GOD... IS IT.... IS IT... THAT IS SCOTTY MICHAELS, FORMER CSWA CHAMPION!
ZACK SIRUS: Him!? We’ve been building up that washed up NFW has been all showed as a legend!?!
BRANDON JACOBS: SCOTT MICHAELS JUMPS ON THE APRON! The ref is trying to get him down! Beau Michaels is incensed! BEAU GOES TO NAIL SCOTTY OFF THE RING APRON.... SCOTTY MICHAELS NAILED HIM WITH HIS BOOK! BEAU IS KNOCKED OUT! What happened?! REF DIDN’T SEE IT EITHER!
ZACK SIRUS: ::ref turns to Beau to see what is the matter:: LOOK, SCOTT MICHAELS OPENED UP THE BOOK AND THERE WAS A BRICK INSIDE! That sneaky bastard!
BRANDON JACOBS: A rested Shizaki comes into the ring! SHIZAKI MOVES MICHAELS CLOSER TO THE ROPES... HE RUNS THE ROPES WITH HIS BAD KNEE... ASAI MOONSAULT!
CHRIS WINK: What he did right there was dangerous, he almost didn’t get fully over on the moonsault could have landed right on his head!
BRANDON JACOBS: SHIZAKI MAKES THE COVER ON MICHAELS! 1-------------2----------------3!! SHIZAKI HAS PINNED MICHAELS! Now if Shizaki can pin Manson, he will make his way to the finals!
ZACK SIRUS: Michaels was so close to beating Manson several times, and now he is the first eliminated because of a loaded book. Life isn’t fair.
BRANDON JACOBS: Shizaki moves Manson away from the ropes... HANDSTAND LEGDROP ON MANSON! It looks like however he may have hurt his wrist in the process.
CHRIS WINK: Shizaki was smart there and altered the way he landed so he didn’t land on his knee when he dropped down.
BRANDON JACOBS: Shizaki moves Manson into the same location where he pinned Michaels with the Asai Moonsault... he crosses himself and looks up to the sky.... oh my god, he is going to try it again bad knee and all! Shizaki bounces off the ropes.... MANSON SPITS BLACK MIST MID ROTATION INTO SHIZAKI’S FACE AND HE MISSES AND LANDS ON HIS HEAD!
CHRIS WINK: The fans are going nuts for the black mist!
ZACK SIRUS: Shizaki didn't look like he was going to have a full rotation on that asai moonsault even with the black mist. His knee is hurt awfully bad and when Manson blew the mist, he had absolutely no chance.
BRANDON JACOBS: Manson signals to the crowd.... TOURNIQUET! SHIZAKI CAN’T TAKE THE PRESSURE ON HIS NECK! HE IS TAPPING! MANSON WINS THE MATCH AND ADVANCES TO THE WFW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE FINAL!
ZACK SIRUS: This crowd is going nuts for Manson.
CHRIS WINK: Wait a second, Scotty Michaels has a microphone, what is he doing?!
::Scotty Michaels stands on the announcers table::
SCOTTY MICHAELS: Thank you for your applause, WFW, you're damn right... the 'Superstar' is BACK! Although, with all of that fan response, one would have to say that I'm the 'Viewer's Choice,' and at that... the WORLD'S FINEST WRESTLER! Beau Michaels, you were the first to experience, what a phenomenon that I am! WFW, it's a new day and a new age, for 'Superstar' SCOTTY MICHAELS!
(CUEUP 'Jesus Christ Superstar' theme song...)
::the crowd cheers turn to boos and Scotty Michaels gets loudest heel heat of the night::
BRANDON JACOBS: Thank you everyone for tuning in for the very first WFW Almost Live, it has been a wonderful night of action and we will back at Vox Hiberionacum decided our very first champion! From Chris Wink, Zack Sirus and I, we wish you all a good night!
BRANDON JACOBS: TIME FOR MAIN EVENT!
