BRANDON JACOBS: We have gotten the word from Wink and the following changes have been made to the show. The three way tag which pitted Maelstrom & Ryan verses Luster & Edmunds verses Iron Lion & Rat Fink will be turned into a tag match with Maelstrom & Ryan verses Edmunds & Iron Lion. The Four Faces of Fear match between Shawn Hart, Golem, Rocko Daymon, and John Doe will be turned into a regular singles match between Rocko Daymon and John Doe to determine who will be the number #1 contender for Psycho’s WFW North American Title and because Hart & Golem won’t be involved in the four way, Thirteen will get the automatic title shot against Jared Wells at the PPV.
JONATHAN MARX: We will have to save the Four Faces of Fear for another show.
VIC WATERS: Maybe for Saint Patty’s Day.
BRANDON JACOBS: Lets get back to matters at time, it is time for the mystery man to square off with Richard Gideon. You’ve been in a match like this before Jonathan, haven’t you?
JONATHAN MARX: Back in the old TWA, I faced this mystery man name Chaos I believe where I got utterly massacred to the point where I had to be stretchered out. I just couldn’t get a feel for who he was and I am person who needs a lot of preparation for a match. I really feel for Gideon, he is in an absolutely terrible spot.
BRANDON JACOBS: Gideon did beat the masked Shawn Hart as Bartleby in his return to the ring so he has been in this predicament before and came out on top.
JONATHAN MARX: Twice in a row seems like a little bit much, but if anyone can do it, it is Richard Gideon. I hope he pulls it off.
BRANDON JACOBS: Folks, lets send this one down to ringside and get this one underway!
CUEUP: “Remember” by Disturbed)
RING ANNOUCER: Introducing first, from Buffalo, NY…. the former and longest reigning WFW North American Champion of alltime….. THE SYSTEM RICHARD GIDEON!
::Gideon comes down to the ring to the roar of the crowd and enters the ring::
(CUEUP: “Mystery Man” by Marvin Stamm)
RING ANNOUNCER: And his opponent… from parts unknown…. THE MYSTERY MAN!
::the mystery man walks down and enters the ring::
RING ANNOUCER: And unbeknown to either… let me announce the special referee appointed to this match by President Edmunds…
::both men looked worried to the back::
(CUEUP: “The Things She Says" by Tatu)
RING ANNOUNCER: The former CSWA World Heavyweight Champion and Leader Of the NFW South, the special referee for the evening, JOEY MELTON!
::a laid back Melton walks down to ringside and enters the ring::
BRANDON JACOBS: Melton looks at the masked man with his head turned sideways and the masked man looks away…. Melton is calling both men to the center of the ring and he asks both men to keep it clean. Melton is signaling for the bell to start the match!
*bell rings*
BRANDON JACOBS: GIDEON CHARGES THE MYSTERY MAN AND CHOPS HIM HARD ACROSS THE CHEST! The Mystery Man lays in a chop of his own…. BOTH MEN ARE FIRING BACK AT EACH OTHER!
JONATHAN MARX: The mystery man may not know what he is getting into with Gideon.
BRANDON JACOBS: Gideon is back him into the corner… GIDEON KICKS HIM IN THE MIDSECTION AND HE PICKS HIM UP IN THE AIR… BRAINBUSTER!
VIC WATERS: Gideon is bringing out the heavy artillery.
BRANDON JACOBS: Gideon rolls the mystery man back up…. HE DELIVERS YET ANOTHER BRAINBUSTER!
JONATHAN MARX: The mystery man is looking a bit woozy through that mask.
VIC WATERS: Gideon going for the early kill.
BRANDON JACOBS: Gideon picks up the mystery man…. HE HITS THE TRIFECTA AND HITS THE THIRD STRAIGHT BRAINBUSTER!
JONATHAN MARX: The mystery man may be toast after that.
BRANDON JACOBS: Gideon covers the mystery man and Melton goes down for the count! 1------------------------------------------2-------------------------- THE MASKED MAN KICKS OUT!
JONATHAN MARX: Almost had him…
BRANDON JACOBS: Gideon looks down at the masked man… BUT HE IS TRYING TO GET BACK UP!
VIC WATERS: The Mystery Man won’t say die yet… but has been caught off guard by Gideon’s offensive assault and if he doesn’t find a way to counter it, this match could be over quickly.
BRANDON JACOBS: A frustrated Gideon picks the Mystery Man back up…. HE BODYSLAMS HIM DOWN TO THE MAT AND HE GOES TO THE CORNER AND HE IS CLIMBING UP TO THE TOP!
JONATHAN MARX: He could be going for the System Failure (450 into a Frog Splash).
VIC WATERS: The Mystery Man needs to get up and now.
BRANDON JACOBS: GIDEON IS PERCHED ON THE TOP ROPE AND HE IS CALLING FOR THE SYSTEM FAILURE…. GIDEON FLIES OFF BUT THE MYSTERY MAN ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND GIDEON CLUTCHES HIS RIBS!
JONATHAN MARX: Gideon crashed hard on the mat and made an impact that may seriously have hurt his ribs.
BRANDON JACOBS: The Mystery Man gets up and he sees Gideon clutching his ribs… the mystery man picks up Gideon…. FALLAWAY FLAPJACK!
VIC WATERS: The Mystery Man dropped him right onto the mat doing even more damage to the ribs.
BRANDON JACOBS: The Mystery Man goes for a cover! Melton goes down to count! 1-------------------------------------------------------2------------------------------ GIDEON KICKS OUT!
JONATHAN MARX: That was close for Gideon.
VIC WATERS: The Mystery Man needs to stay on Gideon and continue working over those ribs if he wants to win.
BRANDON JACOBS: The Mystery Man picks Gideon off the mat…. HE KNEES GIDEON IN THE RIBS REPEATEDLY AND HE LOCKS HIS ARMS AROUND GIDEON’S WAIST AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!
JONATHAN MARX: A very well executed Belly to Belly Suplex by the mystery man, he sort of reminds me of someone.
VIC WATERS: He reminds me too, I can’t put my finger on it though.
BRANDON JACOBS: The Mystery Man is going for another cover! Melton goes down for the count! 1-------------------------------------------------2------------------------------------- GIDEON KICKS OUT AGAIN! Melton looks at the Mystery Man again trying to figure out he is.
VIC WATERS: You would think that with all the brain cells Melton has killed over the years that he wouldn’t recognize anyone.
BRANDON JACOBS: The Mystery Man picks Gideon up off the mat and Gideon is now breathing heavily…. THE MYSTERY MAN LOCKS ON A BEAR HUG AND HE IS TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THOSE DAMAGED RIBS!
JONATHAN MARX: Good strategy by Mystery Man busting out the bear hug.
VIC WATERS: If Gideon is having trouble breathing, this will hasten his demise.
BRANDON JACOBS: Melton is looking at Gideon… and Melton is trying to make out who the Mystery Man is…. Gideon is fighting the hold the best that he can but he doesn’t look like he is doing well… GIDEON GRABS THE MASK AND HE IS TRYING TO PULL IT OFF!
VIC WATERS: Gideon should be disqualified!
BRANDON JACOBS: Melton grabs Gideon’s arm and pulls it off. Melton is warning Gideon not to grab The Mystery Man’s mask… AND PULL IT OFF LIKE THIS!
JONATHAN MARX: OH MY GOD, IT IS CAMERON CRUISE!
BRANDON JACOBS: Melton is shocked. He had no idea it was Cameron Cruise and Cruise is giving him a piece of his mind for pulling off the mask.
JONATHAN MARX: Cruise better becareful, Gideon is getting back up.
VIC WATERS: Cruise is livid.
BRANDON JACOBS: GIDEON WAISTLOCKS FROM BEHIND AND HE GERMAN SUPLEXES HIM DOWN TO THE MAT BUT GIDEON DOESN’T LET GO!
JONATHAN MARX: Gideon throws suplexes like nobody’s business and he rolled Cruise back up like a sleeping bag.
BRANDON JACOBS: Cruise was dropped on his head and it looks like it…. Richard Gideon is going for another German Suplex... BUT CAMERON CRUISE REVERSES!
JONATHAN MARX: Cameron Cruise showing some quick movement there.
VIC WATERS: If you don’t in this sport, you are dead in the water.
BRANDON JACOBS: CAMERON CRUISE IS GOING FOR A GERMAN SUPLEX OF HIS OWN…. GIDEON UNLEASHES AND ELBOW RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF CRUISE AND CRUISE STAGGERS BACK!
VIC WATERS: Cruise really took a shot to nose. Gideon didn’t hold anything back on that elbow.
BRANDON JACOBS: CRUISE CHARGES GIDEON AND PUSHES HIM INTO THE ROPES…. GIDEON STAGGERS BACK AND CRUISE KICKS HIM IN HIS INJURED RIBS!
JONATHAN MARX: That was a purely defensive move by Cruise in his anger over being elbowed and maybe a bit of anger of being masked by Melton.
VIC WATERS: Good, Cruise needs a little fire in his belly.
BRANDON JACOBS: CRUISE LOCKS HIM IN…. REALITY CHECK! Melton goes down for the count! 1---------------------------2---------------------------------3!
RING ANNOUNCER: The winner of this match….. CAMERON CRUISE!
JONATHAN MARX: Cruise has done it, he has won his first match here in WFW and has gotten off to a good start.
VIC WATERS: With no help from Joey Melton distracting him by pulling off the mask….
JONATHAN MARX: It is like being a kid on Christmas morning with a whole bunch of presents in front of you, you just can’t help yourself.
BRANDON JACOBS: Cruise did a great job taking advantage of Gideon’s injured ribs and he was able to catch him off guard at the right time to get the victory. Although when and if these two meet again, it may be a totally different outcome because this time Gideon will know who he is facing.
JONATHAN MARX: Cruise has had a hell of a run as of late, he has even beaten me a couple of times late and he has really taken his game to a whole new level.
VIC WATERS: Melton & Cruise probably are the best tag team in wrestling today. Their tag reign in Empire was better than any other tag team in all of wrestling.
JONATHAN MARX: They are very old school, they work well together like the great tag teams of the past like Attack Force and the Blade Runners did and that is what makes them so effective. They gel as a unit.
BRANDON JACOBS: I am being told that there is a bit of commotion between Melton and Cruise backstage, lets send the cameras back there and see what is happening.
(FADEIN: United Center – Backstage)
(Cameron Cruise steps through the Stage Entrance, his hands rummaging through his wet hair for patience. By all rights, he should be pleased. A win in front of a sell-out crowd: a small step up the ladder, but he’s a degree from exploding. Slightly off the pace comes Joey Melton, his WFW Official Gear burning from the heat stolen off Cruise minutes earlier.)
MELTON: Hearin’ that never gets old. (Melton stops three feet inside the structure, turns and listens to the rewards one last time.) They love me Cammy, they really, really, love me.
(Cruise stops dead in his tracks, and shoves Melton hard up against drywall.)
CRUISE: What were you doing out there? You’re a nightmare! You’re in my dreams, over for Thanksgiving dinner, and now, I can’t even start a new promotion without you nipping at my heels! A year from now, Joey, please tell me, will I still be able to pee for myself, or should I enjoy that luxury while it lasts? I signed up for a ‘Tag’, not a life partner.
MELTON: (shocked) Dear Gawd, you’re dreaming about me now? (beat) This is so cooool! I had one about you last night. (pounds Cameron in the chest) Don’t breath a word of this to Troy, but it involved you stepping in to finish off Karla.
CRUISE: You need help.
MELTON: I know! That’s what was so crazy...usually I don’t, but I was calling you in. The interpretations for this are endless. Karla, okay, sweet piece of ass who I met for the first time over Thanksgiving. I’ve withstained for far too long now. Only natural it’d happen. But, me letting you enjoy the fruits. A cry that I really wasn’t interested, that Troy IS the woman for me? Or, just an affirmation of the two of us as a team.
CRUISE: Melton, I’m not going to stand here and interpret your dreams for you!
MELTON: Right. Marx usually does that. But, he’s working.
CRUISE: That’s it. I’m not going to work in a company that employs one of it’s own to shift through the mental ramblings of Joey Melton.
(Cruise walks off, but doesn’t get far.)
MELTON: You’re leaving?
(Melton runs Cameron down, getting in front.)
MELTON: Why? Are you tired of me? Is that what this is about?
CRUISE: Yes, I am!
MELTON: Say it then! Tell me you’re sick of me!
CRUISE: I’m sick of you!
MELTON: (grabs Cruise’s left arm) Look me in the eyes and say it!
CRUISE: (leaning into Joey’s face.) I’M....SICK....OF...YOU.
(Melton stands upright taking the latest bombshell in.)
MELTON: Eh. It’s a stage. It’ll pass. Now, objectively being that close to you in the ring, I saw a few things. That match should have been over five minutes before it was. Straight up, you were sloppy tonight...
CRUISE: Joey, leave, please. I’d get on my knees and beg if you weren’t already spoiled into misreading that, but go.
(A ten year-old Girl Scout saunters up to Melton, right arm extended with a couple boxes of cookies.)
MELTON: Relax, Cruise. Geez. It was a one-shot deal. I owed someone a favor.
CRUISE: You owed someone a favor??
(Melton signs a release form without raising a brow.)
MELTON: (sarcastically) I’m a marriage counselor in my spare time....(beat) Why is none of your business.
CRUISE: Well, genius...then you know why I find you a little controlling. Why, my mind’s drifting to the fantasies of another men pulling their own weight with me.
MELTON: I didn’t know it was you in the mask Cruise! Haven’t I made you a big enough name so you don’t have to walk in the back door? You’re on my shoulders now Cameron, it’s okay to use your real name and look for work honestly.
CRUISE: You’re an ass, Melton. Karla was right. And, I got work on my own name. I was trying to build HEAT! Surprise! Believe it or not, people out there would have marked to see me reveal myself after the win tonight!
MELTON: Did Karla call me an ass, or say I had a tight one...
CRUISE: I’m gone.
(Cameron walks off, having given up on conversing with the brick wall.)
MELTON: Take the cookies man. I got’em before the show started for you. Well, maybe you’ll believe that now... (beat; Cruise puts more distance between them.) Cammy! I didn’t know! I’m sorry! A freakin’ masked man. Since we were kids, hasn’t that been the dream? Unmasking someone...
(Joey throws his head back and sighs.)
MELTON: (looking at the boxes) Sugar? I said chocolate.... (Melton inspects the release form closer) This doesn’t look good...TEN SHOWS?! What the hell is this?? I didn’t sign up for TEN MORE SHOWS! Willingly! Wha....Wha....Wa....(Melton stomps his feet.) He’ll love this...
(Joey starts off running.)
MELTON: Cameron...wait up...
(BROADCAST BOOTH)
JONATHAN MARX: Oh my god, Joey Melton has signed with WFW. But who tricked him into signing?
VIC WATERS: Evil girl scouts…
BRANDON JACOBS: Folks, we have to take a commercial break, but when we comeback, Christian Sands with Lindsay Troy in his corner will make their WFW debut…. STAY TUNED!
