Into the Belly of the Beast...
[updated:LAST EDITED ON Jan-25-03 AT 02:35 PM (EST)](I am posting this for JC since he is having problems posting..)
(“The following are cuts from Massive Assault’s tag team title match… And as you’re watching these cuts, I want you to look real closely at the UA and tell me what do YOU see and let’s compare notes afterwards, so sit back and relax, enjoy the cuts, but don’t even blink cause you’ll miss it”…)
(Screen fades into Kraven and Flatliner jumping into the ring, and attacking Xanatos! Cut to, Flatliner as he military presses him over his head and throws him outside the ring, hurling Xanatos onto the guardrail… Cut to, Kraven climbing to the top rope and Flatliner suplexing Kurtel off the rope, and Kraven bulldogging him on the way down… Cut to, Kraven grabbing Kurtel, and tossing him to Flatliner, who Flatlines him back to Kraven who does the Cave-in… Cut to, TR and RW as they commentate…
T.R.: "Kraven now grabs Kurtel, he tosses him to Flats, who Flatlines him back to Kraven who does the Cave-in. That was the Death Shock!"
R.W.: "And we all know where that leads...."
T.R.: "Kraven now has Kurtel, as Flatliner ascends to the top rope! Kraven turns, FACE OFF! This is over! 1-2-3!! That was embarrassing…." Quite possibly the most one-sided win to date for the Unholy Alliance, it’s a shame it had to take place at Massive Assault”….
Screen pauses as camera zooms in on the UA as they begin to leave the ring, out of nowhere jumps Rico Suave and excitedly points to the screen yelling…)
RS: THERE!!! (Pointing to Kraven, then Flatliner) Look at their eyes… Notice anything!? NO!? You bunch of dumb blind fools… That lets me know that you people have not been paying attention, always relying on me to give you the 411… Well tonight, I’m not going to do that… Nah folks, I am going to bore you with an interview… Yes folks, I was able to catch up with Flatliner who last time he spoke, stated that he was going to shock the wrestling world and quite frankly he did, well not just him, Kraven was part of that equation also… Their brutality and tactics went to an all time low as they viciously beat down Xanatos and Kurtel… And then they run in to help out Manson only to get BEATDOWN themselves by some huge guy wearing a black hooded sweatshirt… What goes around, comes around you say!? I agree, but anyway, let’s roll the tape and see what Flatliner has to say about his upcoming match against Jean Rabesque and Brian Lawler… (Smirks and shakes his heads) I meant to say the UA’s match against Jean and Lawler, my bad…
(Screen is shown fast forwarding until we see Flatliner minus Kraven, he stands in front of the same brick wall we have seen him and Kraven stand in front of before… His bowed head slowly rising as we begin to see a very cynical expression, staring at us…)
FLATLINER: This is becoming redundant Jean; it’s come to the point where you have been forced to scrape the bottom of the barrel… Of all people to pick, you went and picked Brian Lawler, a man who I consider to be nothing more than a freaking clown, he was nothing then and still is nothing now… Jean, this obsession you have with us, is going to be your final downfall… Lightning has struck you twice this third time may very well be the final blow that will bring you down… You’re taking a big gamble Jean, and I think that you would fare better against the newly crowned champ, Mael…. (Smirks, shakes his head in mocking fashion…) Good old Mael wouldn’t be where he’s at today if it wasn’t for me and Kraven… Face it Jean, you don’t fare so well in tag team action, and that’s an area that we excel in… We have taken on all opposition Malec has thrown in our path, Golem, Mael, the Movement, High Plains Drifter, and the list goes on and on… This will be your what!? Third time going into the belly of the beast!? What’s it going to take Jean!? Me and Kraven ending your illustrious career!? Is THAT how you want it to end for you Jean!? Be careful what you wish for Jean… And since we go way back Jean, I’m going to warn you, things have change, Xanatos and Kurtel were just the tip of the iceberg… I have grown tired of the trash talking, sure as hell tired of the assumptions… Like I said before Massive Assault, it was time for a change and I meant it… And since you’re hell bent on taking us on again, just bring a very big bag for the receiving… You and Lawler are going to fare no better than the rest, and you of all people should know that Jean… You may have gotten the best of Edmunds, that was your 15 minutes of fame, and the only thing you and Lawler can expect to get from us is 15 minutes of pain… You want the belts that bad Jean!? Are you willing to risk it all Jean!? If you are, remember in order to accomplish and fulfill your dreams, there WILL be a very heavy price to pay!!! Failure is not an option with me Jean, my mindset is locked into one particular goal and I intend on seeing it through with the belts strapped around our waists…
(Starts to smirk as he strokes the tag team title restring on his shoulder… His expression turns cynical as he says…)
FLATLINER: “Bad Company” Brian Lawler… You two bit has been, did things get that boring for you at the old folks home!? Needed a little bit more excitement than playing checkers and shuffle board at the home and you thought you might get some here!? The only thing that awaits you and Jean is a night of pain, one in which I might just decide to once and for all finish you off!!! You decided to stick your nose into our business; you hit us from behind with a damn chair Lawler… That was real “macho” of you dude… But this time it’s different, no sneak attacks, no chairs just you, Jean and US!!! Let’s just see how “macho” you really are when you have to actually go face to face with us… I do however want you to savor that golden moment at Riptide, savor it real good Lawler… THAT was your 15 minutes of fame!!! Your LAST 15 minutes Lawler!!! I want you to listen very well to what even the announcers had to say about what you did at Riptide and think about the can of worms you have opened up…
(We start to hear Wiseman as he says….)
WISEMAN: “FLATLINE HEART PUNCH!!!! INTO THE DEVIL's DROP POWERBOMB!!! Flatliner covers..... ONE...... TWO ...THREEE!!! FLATLINER HAS DEFEATED JEAN RABESQUE HERE ON RIPTIDE!"
(the regular commentary is cut off and an obvious voice-over is inserted)
ROSS: "And now some man wearing a hooded sweatshirt has come into the ring... CLOCKING FLATLINER and KRAVEN WITH A CHAIRSHOT TO THE HEAD!" This is disgusting! A terrific match ruined tonight!!!
WISEMAN: "BRIAN LAWLER HAS ENTERED GREAT LAKES CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING!!!"
ROSS: "This is disgusting!"
WISEMAN: "I cannot believe it, Tony!
(Voice over then fades out and we are back with Flatliner, who with a deadpan and serious face says…)
FLATLINER: Need I say any more Lawler!? Even the announcers were disgusted with your cowardly actions… Hell of a way to start your old timer’s debut Lawler… That’s strike one, strike two was teaming up with Jean Rabesque and strike three Lawler!? Strike three will be getting into the ring with us Lawler!!! I’m going to send you from whatever rock you crawl out of with your tail tucked between your legs… (Smirks) Yea I know, in most probabilities, you’ll come up with something to say, that only you can concoct… It doesn’t really matter what you or Jean have to say, not to me or Krave anyway… So tell it to someone who gives a damn…
(Screen fades momentarily as Flatliner walks away… It then fades into the Manson vs. Maelstrom title match….
T.R.: "It's that hooded figure we saw last week in Kalamazoo that appeared during the Flatliner/Rabesque match!! He runs down to ringside with that black hood on and he plows into Kraven and Flatliner from behind!! He's taking them both on!! Kraven is sent flying into the ring steps and Flatliner appears to be in shock as this guy lays into him with huge rights! Whoever this guy is, he is BIG! He grabs a chair and labels Flatliner over the head!! Kraven is next and he takes a huge shot!! Wow!! Then the hooded figure takes off running and he's out of here as fast as he came in, taking out the tag team champions in the process!! Unbelievable!"
(Screen pauses as Rico walks in front of it and with a smirk, states the following….)
RS: That guy is HUGE folks, and he has manhandled the UA, not once but TWICE already… Strange that Flatliner hasn’t even mentioned him the way he ragged on Lawler for interfering at Riptide, and folks Lawler came down to help out Jean who was getting viciously attacked by the UA… A point that Flatliner failed to mention… But if their last match is a prelude of what is to come, then I have to say to Jean and Lawler, you two guys really have your work cut out for you… Well that’s it for now folks, and remember the pleasure has been all yours… Good night folks…
(We then fade into a GLCW commercial… “He’s coming” flashes across the screen…)
