Hellfighter vs Cameron Cruise

Standard Match

 

[Hell_Fighter]

A debate. (Part 1)

[updated:LAST EDITED ON Dec-12-02 AT 11:52 AM (EST)]*(Fade In)...

*(London, England)...

*(Cut to the outdoors of the English countryside just outside of London. The camera shows beautiful green hills and some small mountains in the background underneath gray clouds with no sign of sunlight anywhere. Down at the bottom are modern English farming villages distant from the city of London. A constant semi freezing rain falls down on the countryside slightly at an angle. Changing views to a lone hilltop, we find GXW reporter, Joey Tyler and a cameraman hiking up a hill. They are prepared for the wet and gloomy English climate. They stop to have a discussion while they catch their breath. Let's listen in.)...

Joey Tyler: "Wow, isn't this country beautiful. I'm so glad that Mr. Zieba and Mr. Dupree made the preparations to come here for the big PPV card."

Cameraman: "Speak for yourself Tyler. Sheesh, is their no sun in this accursed country!?!?!? I don't care what the movies make this place out to be. England is the most gloomy country in the world. Why oh why Dupree and Zieba wanted to have a PPV in this place is totally beyond me. Oh and another thing. Why are we hiking in the freezing rain. We're gonna get sick. I know I'm insured, but I value my health just a little bit?"

Tyler: "I think we're almost there. He should be at the top of that hill. The village people said we can find him, and just like the mail service; through rain, sleet, or snow, we will bring them the news of their favorite GXW superstars."

Cameraman: "He isn't my favorite. Come to think of it. I don't think he's anybody's favorite superstar. He's a pain in the ass when he's religious. Then he gives up his faith and he's worse off. He's an ass hole. Somebody puts him in his place and everybody is just supposed to feel sorry for him."

Tyler: "In defense of HellFighter, he was never religious. In fact he hated the word. He just had a relationship with God. He never once thrusted his faith on anybody, he was just bold with his beliefs and shared them when the opportunity arrised. I actually wish he come back. This otherside...his darkside was really not him. Many people call it a gimmick, but in with Hellfighter his faith was his identity and his strength. It's what made him the best. If anything people felt threatened by him."

Cameraman: "Nah, they just couldn't wait to shut his ass up. GODDAMN ARE WE ALMOST TO HIM YET?!?!?"

Tyler: "We're almost there. We should meet him at the top of the hill."

Cameraman: "You said that three hills ago. I'm tired and I'm getting sick. This is the last time I ever do a promo for him because I'm tired of having to look for him, and you always have to go out and find him. Get the hell off the HellFighter bandwagon. His career and his life is dead. I wish he do us all a favor and eat a bullet just to put us out of our misery."

Tyler: "What about him?"

Cameraman: "Who the f**k cares about some faithless has been?"

Tyler: "You just don't get it do you?"

Cameraman: "What's there to get?"

Tyler: "Believe it or not, he's bled for this business almost all of his career. Up until this past year, he has done everything for this business. He has taken the abuse and constant jokes in the locker room from everybody day in and day out. He gave up on his faith, putting him in this mess because he listened to what other people thought about him. There was a time when Hellfighter didn't care what people thought, but surely enought even he changed. I've done my research on HellFighter's career and his a plagued hero. Believe it or not, he is the heart and soul of this business. He has been here since it was MWC. I truly believe that he is the franchise, and as soon as he realizes that, he will get off of Onslaught and return to what he used to be."

Cameraman: "That'll be the day. He can't throw down and compete with people like Dan Ryan and Nate Logan."

Tyler: "How can he, people like Dan Ryan haven't even faught him one on one. The only time Ryan faught him was in a six pack match with four other guys in the ring. Then the one time that Ryan fights him one on one and Ryan never even did anything except for Humility bomb him in the center of the ring because his buddy Zero did all the work before the match. If anything, I believe that Ryan fears Hellfighter. If Ryan is such a great wrestler than why does need help to beat a mere jobber like Hellfighter?"

Cameraman: .........

Tyler: "Exactly. Hellfighter hasn't got the chance he deserves, and then he get demoted onto Onslaught. He'll never get even close Ryan while on Onslaught. If you ask me, this is all Commissioner JP's doing for when HellFighter attacked him. That's just my opinion, but HellFighter attacked JP on Revolution for screwing HellFighter over at Global Warfare...against Zero. HellFighter hoped to get a response from JP, well I think that he responded and used his power to demote HellFighter. If you think about it, that was the last time we saw HellFighter on Revolution. The next week we saw him on Onslaught only, and with Hellfighter going around like a mad man, it would look like JP would have his revenge."

Cameraman: "So you are claiming politics against HellFighter, who's to say that he did this all to himself?"

Tyler: "I'm not saying that HellFighter dug his grave. He did this to himself, but his mistake was underestimating JP. I'm hoping that this match at Fallout kind of woke HellFighter up a little bit. He never does very good at a fallout ppv, call it a curse I guess, but I know this when he is depressed, he wants to be alone."

Cameraman: "Then we should let him be alone. Let's leave him be and get out of this rain and into some shelter."

Tyler: "Not until I talk to HellFighter, and get his response on his match."

Cameraman: Well do it without me. I'm going back down to the village. Here...(he hands Tyler the camera)...Take the camera and give HellFighter his pep talk. I'm done with this pursuit to motivate a has been into his former glory. He can remain the 'balls of the GXW' for all I care."

(Tyler watches as the cameraman walks back down the hill. Tyler shrugs his shoulders as he takes the camera and presses on up the hill toward HellFighter. The camera fades out as he nears the top with a message at the top of the screen that says, "LOW BATTERY". Tyler gives an tiring "Oh damn it." as the camera cuts out.)

*(Fade to black)*

*(To be continued...just as soon Tyler learns how to work the camera and install a new battery.)*

 

[Hell_Fighter]

Damned if I have it, and damned if I don't. (Part 2)

*(Fade In)...

*(The camera comes on with a loud, resounding echo on the top of an English green hill top, "WOOHOO, I finally did it. Go me, I rule!" The voice is none other than GXW reporter, Joey Tyler who finally installed the new battery to the camera that went out. He now picks up the camera and heads straight up the hilltop hoping to find one "HellFighter" Michael Shutt. After a few step up, emerges on the big hill and looks down and out. He can see below. He films what appears to be the cameraman, who just finally made it back down the hill and walking toward the village. Tyler then turns around to find a figure sitting at the edge of the hill looking down. The figure is sitting "Indian style" on a grassy spot on the ground soaking up the rain. Tyler takes the camera and slowly approaches the figure. The figure is wearing a black Addidias windbreaker with white trim ensemble...both top and bottoms...and Addidias tennis shoes. Tyler shows that the figure is none other than "HellFighter" Michael Shutt. Tyler sets the camera down angled in the direction of HellFighter, then he causiously approaches HellFighter ready to speak him him. Let's listen in.)...

Joey Tyler: "HellFighter? (He sits down a little right next to him, but not too close to speak to him) "You're not an easy man to find. Do you know the trouble it took me to find you? Oh well that doesn't matter. What matters is that I found you. Now that I found you, how about we get off this hill, out of this rain, and into somewhere that's a little more warm and dry? Come on what do you say. We can talk about your match at Wembly Stadium against Cameron Cruise."

HellFighter: "Why? I'm just gonna f**kin lose again. You know, I came here to get away from you. Now you find me. You know, Tyler, you shouldn't be filming my promos, it's career suicide. You'll end your career if your even associated with me."

Tyler: "Well I'll be the judge of that HellFighter. Of course there are some people that are worth the risks."

HellFighter: "To hell with you, what do you know about risks?"

Tyler: "I know enough, but part of this was brought on by you. I want to talk about your loss to Die Kriegmaschine at Fallout, and how this will affect your match against Cruise on the next card?"

HellFighter: (He glances up and over at Tyler, the rain drips off his face) "I lost. You know I hate to lose, now let it go and let me live in my misery. It's where I belong next to a nice grave."

Tyler: "Yeah, but I have watched that match over and over again, and I noticed something about that match. It wasn't you HellFighter. That match was not a trademark HellFighter styled match. Something was missing, now what do you think that is HellFighter? Come on I know you can tell me."

HellFighter: "I don't know Tyler, you tell me."

Tyler: "Almost over four weeks before you brought Die Kriegmaschine to his knees wallowing in agony, and yet he all of a sudden musters up the strength to fight through your offenses and pummel you to the ground. Something just doesn't add up to me HellFighter. That match was not you. Kriegmaschine was not fighting the real HellFighter. He was fighting someone else in your place, an evil twin perhaps?"

HellFighter: "Gee Tyler, it's amazing what a nicely placed steel pipe will do to any human being...including some so-called rookie monster. If anything, it shows me that when it came right down to it, I couldn't compete against the German machine when it really mattered. I choked. (He mutters underneath his breath as his voice lowers hoping for Tyler not to hear) I gave up. (He hangs his head down in shame again)"

Tyler: "What was that HellFighter?"

HellFighter: "Nothing. I'm a BIG...FAT...NOTHING!"

Tyler: "No you're not. I think I heard you say, 'I gave up.' Of course it makes sense. Simply put, a very poorly booked match where a 7'4 giant plays some sort of Undertaker type of role and no sells your moves. You gave up because you thought it was no use fighting him, so when the time came you could went on to fight Kriegmaschine, but YOU GAVE UP. You stayed down for the 10 count and allowed Die to be declared the winner."

HellFighter: You have no idea what I was going through in that match. You have no idea what I was thinking."

Tyler: "Oh come on HellFighter, do you honestly think that a high impacting stiff chokeslam would keep you down for the for a 3 count, let alone a ten count? I've seen you get up from a lot worse HellFighter. I find it really hard to believe that a mere chokeslam would take down the immortal HellFighter."

HellFighter: "Who said that I was immortal?"

Tyler: "I did, and what little fans you have left that still believe in you. More importantly, I think you know who still believes once and for all that HE never gave up on you. Let's just say that HE will never leave you nor forsake you."

HellFighter: "Why do you care? You're just a reporter."

Tyler: "I'm also you're friend, no matter how much you abuse me Dan Ryan style. I am your friend."

HellFighter: "Yeah right, I have no friends."

Tyler: "Well are you sure about that?"

HellFighter: "Honestly, I don't know what I am sure of anymore. When I first entered pro wrestling. Somebody told me that faith and wrestling didn't mix. I should of stayed quiet, but I took a chance anyway. I was sure of myself then, but that certainty faded. Then I thought I humor everybody and give them what they wanted. I give up my faith. That didn't worked because they still branded me as, 'the god boy'. I thought I was sure then. Now it seems like I am damned with my faith, and I am certainly damned without it. I feel like I lost myself when I gave it all up."

Tyler: "Of course you did. You're faith in Your God wasn't a gimmick just to appeal to the fans. It truly was your identity. It is who you are. You are not a fake. You were never a fake. You were origional, you were unique. You were one of a kind unlike any other. You were never damned...until you gave it all up. You had it all along, and lost it all in one promo."

HellFighter: "I know I dug my own grave, and dug it deeper with each and every action."

Tyler: "Yeah but even you can climb out of it. It's what makes you...well...YOU."

HellFighter: "How can you be sure?"

Tyler: "Because I know your career, and it reflects your life. You will bounce back. All this will pass, but you gotta move on. It has to start with Cameron Cruise at Wembly Stadium. Are you willing to get out of this hole that you have dug yourself in?"

HellFighter: "I don't know. I want to, but I don't know if I can."

Tyler: "Well that's a start. You want to. Now follow through with that."

HellFighter: "I guess you're right. You know Tyler, when I was fighting Die Kriegmaschine in that last man standing match, and I finally decided to stay down and not get up. As I heard the ref administer his ten count, I know I could of got up and continued the match, but I gave up. Those ten seconds were the longest moments in my entire career, my entire life. I think that for those ten seconds, I think I was in hell, and I don't want to go back there."

Tyler: "Well who does want to be there HellFighter?"

HellFighter: "Not me."

Tyler: "Well then, what are you gonna do about it?"

HellFighter: "I think, I'm going to start by beating Cameron Cruise this week."

Tyler: (Smiling) "Now you know why your name is HellFighter. You are able to go all the way to hell, fight for your life, and come back ready for the next fight. It's who you."

HellFighter: "I just hope that I can be like what I used to be."

Tyler: "Well that really can't happen HellFighter."

HellFighter: "It can't?"

Tyler: "Because it's in the past, just like Kriegmaschine was in the past. Your future is now, and it all starts with Cruise. Besides I think that you can be better than what you use to be. In fact, you are. You've just been driven through the fire. You'll look back and you will see that all of this was worth it...in the end."

HellFighter: "I hope you're right."

Tyler: "It's not about me. It's not even about you. You know what it's all about."

HellFighter: "I guess I do."

Tyler: "Now what do you say we get out of this rain before we catch a black plague and you can't compete against Cruise next week."

HellFighter: "Good idea. I wouldn't want to give Cruise any advantages in the match."

Tyler: "Exactly."

(They both stand up. Tyler picks up the camera as they start walking back down the hill.)

Tyler: "You know HellFighter, believe it or not, but I missed the old you. Most of the other camera ops also missed the old HellFighter to. The new HellFighter was too much like...Dan Ryan to say the least."

HellFighter: "Oh yeah, what's he like?"

Tyler: "An #####, but then again it goes with the territory of being a hated heel. Which shows me one thing about you."

HellFighter: "What's that?"

Tyler: "You're just not the bad guy type. Most wrestlers aren't. You're just too real of a good guy to be a bad guy anyway."

HellFighter: "Really? (Tyler nods yes) I thought I made a good bad guy." (Tyler shakes his head no.)

Tyler: "Nope. For starters you try too hard. You make hard things easy and easy things hard. Well take it from me HellFighter, most guys who play badguys, aren't really acting. Just like you. You're not acting when you are being the good guy, it's who you are."

HellFighter: "Oh...well...okay."

(Tyler hits the button on the power to turn off the camera. The camera fades out to static, and then to black...er I mean white.)

*FADE TO WHITE*

RE: Damned if I have it, and damned if I don't. (Part 2)

Fadein, the local airport, in London. It's late night, early morning as a single silhouette comes walking down the runway as we follow suit to the lobby area where one more man is sitting arms spread out, as if he were relaxed.

CC: Glad you could make it. You know, it's been so long since I've been here, I don't think I've been back since Lawrence Stanley and I won the tag titles in TTW. Not that that should make any bit of a difference mind you, I'm just taking a minute to reflect.

Now, before I take care of matters of importance, let me back the trolly up abit to the Pay Per View, November Reign.

Tommy Rage. What can I say, kid. You showed your true colors that night, when you stuck me with a low blow. You showed that by doing that, you couldn't finish the job, with or without your manager to help. Hope you can do better than that sometime soon, because if not...you're not gonna like what's comin'. I'm not sending a threat or a promise. Just a message.

Now, onto current matters at hand, like the event in Britain. Hellfighter.

This isn't our first dance, and I'm sure it won't be the last. Think back.

When was the last time you and I REALLY threw down? Think but I want you to think carefully, because I don't want you to hurt that small ego you put together when you won the world title.

That's right, it's coming back now. We even had ourselves a little partner didn't we? Mark Maverick was the name. 'Course he's gone now, but none of that matters really.

Fact of the matter is pally-boy, is that now it's time for another jig on the dance floor but you're sittin' out, waitin' for a waltz.

Do me and a everyone else BUT Joey Tyler a favor, and knock it off. Why that kid insists on butting in personal issues is beyond me, but again, none of that matters.

What matters is this: I can't remember one time when I beat you. You've made it over the hurdle on more than one occasion so you don't really have much to prove.

(Cruise leans forward a moment)

I do.

I'm the one who's going in against, yet another former world champion at Wembley Stadium.

Im the one who's usually favored the underdog in the contest rather than be a favorite.

I asked you one favor already, but I'm going to ask one more, but this one's for me:

Prove that you're the type of athlete that made it to the top of a mountain that I've never reached.

Prove to me that you have the strength and stamina to take a beating and keep on ticking, no pun-intended.

But mostly, prove to me, that you can do by yourself, as a big boy.

Because if you won't make the effort to make that trek back to the holyland you've once been to, then I guarantee that anyone else next to you....will have a JOLLY of a good time shoving it right back in your face.

(the camera fades to a close-up)

CC: (indicates to himself) Including me.
