CSWA SHOWTIME in Philadelphia -- 3/17/00

CSWA SHOWTIME in Philadelphia

March 17, 2000

Sight vs. Tyler kicks things off in Part 2, along with some visits by some very unexpected people. Oh...and there's that whole UnHoly thing...

Greensboro Championship

Wicked Sight vs. JT Tyler

RJ: The following contest is set for one fall and is for the GREENSBORO HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! The challenger is a former Unified World Heavyweight Champion, here is JT TYLERRRR!

SB: It appears as if the Peacekeeper is taking JT’s spot... cough Schitzo cough…

RJ: And his opponent… He is a member of the Forsaken, and he is the reigning CSWA GREENSBORO HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION… Wicked S-IIII-GHT…

BB: Manuel Juarez is the official in this one....and it's underway. Peacekeeper is immediately all over Sight! He catches the Greensboro Champ with a series of hard right hands, sends him to the far side… back body drop… Sight lands on his feet. But Peacekeeper nails him with a kick to the gut.

BB: Juarez is calling it off! It’s a choke hold, he says! He’s making the five count! He breaks the hold, comes back with a headlock. Sight throws him into the ropes, goes to his stomach. Peacekeeper hops over. Sight up with a leapfrog… Keeper CATCHES HIM! Powerbomb by Peacekeeper!

SB: Does JT actually think we believe there's somebody else under the mask? Are we supposed to believe all the shenangians that happened at TWS?

BB: We don't know for sure Sammy. Instead of going for the cover, Peacekeeper clamps down an ankle lock. Sight’s crawling toward the ropes… can he make it?

BB: He’s almost there… Peacekeeper drags him back to the center of the ring! Sight’s going to tap...but now Peacekeeper lets go of the ankle lock.

BB: Instead, Peacekeeper lays Sight in the corner, and keeps him there with some hard kicks to the midsection. Keeper backs away...he runs back, HORNET SPLASH!

SB: As Sight falls, the Keeper bulldogs him to the canvas! A cover, a count… One… Two… Thre-NO!

SB: Another back body drop, Sight lands on his feet again. Keeper swings a lariat, Sight ducks, floats over, DDT! Peacekeeper, though, GETS RIGHT BACK UP!

BB: Sight is… Stunned! So am I! Peacekeeper with a hip toss OVER THE TOP! Sight catches the top rope, pulls himself in… Peacekeeper dropkicks him RIGHT BACK OUT!

SB: Peacekeeper follows him out. He’s setting Sight up…NO! Low blow by Sight! Facebuster on the concrete! Wicked Sight is COMING BACK!

BB: Keeper standing, Sight standing… 360 degree clothesline by Sight! He landed on his feet, on the steps! Moonsault!

BB: Sight rolls Keeper in… he’s getting up. Sight with a springboard dropkick! Sight’s pounding away at Peacekeeper. Wait a minute! He’s going after the mask! If you’ll remember back in September, Sight and Peacekeeper exchange some heated words, along with Blade and Bonecrusher… Sight’s wanted to do this for a REAL LONG TIME! He's got the mask off!! It’s…it's....

BB: Sight’s confused! Tyler is... disoriented. He’s coming to his senses, with a funny look in his eyes… He charges at Wicked Sight… What the… Wicked Sight just pulled Manny in front of himself! JT Tyler is pounding away at Manny Juarez’ head.

BB: It’s not over yet, that’s for sure! Sight just grabbed his belt. Tyler is STILL pounding away at the man in the striped shirt. Wicked Sight just clocked Tyler with his Greensboro strap! Now he’s pounding away at JT Tyler. He hoists him up on his shoulders… running across the ring… a modified View To Kill! Tyler is OUT!

SB: He called for the bell! He just disqualified Wicked Sight for pushing him into a Tyler spear!

BB: Look at Tyler… he’s confused. He doesn’t know where he is! Sight is TICKED! He just grabbed his belt… AND CLOCKED MANNY! This is insane.

BB: Just shut up, Sammy. Fans, before we have to take a commercial, we're going to send you to a special interview with former CSWA World Champion Mark Vizzack, conducted by Rudy Seitzer. Marvin, hit the tape.

(Cut to Rudy Seitzer, sitting in a 'traditional family room,' complete with a fire roaring in the fireplace behind him...)

RS: It was just two months ago that "Daredevil" Mark Vizzack made his return to the world of wrestling, and the CSWA in particular, in a very big way. He had been under a mask, wrestling under the name "X" for several weeks beforehand, and I think, Mark... the fans would like to know why.

(Cut to Mark Vizzack, sitting in a similar chair, presumably in the same room as Rudy. He's wearing a button down shirt and black jeans. His black hair is in a ponytail behind his head... Another scene shows the two men sitting together.)

MV: Why "X"? It's real simple, Rudy. Take a look at just about all of my matches from that first year. From Aaron Douglas to Billy Starr to Kevin Powers, to Eddy Love to Hornet... everyone zeroed in on Sunshine as my 'weakness.' And while that says that my weakness is something other than myself... its' also not fair to her. I've been real proud of the way she's grown up while I've been gone, but the fact remains that the "X" mask gave me the FREEDOM to get back at the people like Aaron Douglas, like Matt Dexter, like Powers and Apocalypse. And I unmasked myself because, quite simply, the CSWA needed a hero and with everything against him right now, Deacon might have some trouble doing it himself.

RS: Speaking of Deacon, you certainly must have an eye on the World Title belt he now sports. You didn't have the greatest title reign--

MV: Rudy, when I'm ready for a title shot I'm sure Deacon will grant me one. Right now, is about me. It's MY TIME to go on the offensive. And there's no more deserving targets than the Unholy and Hornet.

RS: The Unholy I wholeheartedly agree with... but Hornet was at TWS, as I'm sure you're aware, and he showed signs of the "Greatest American Hero" returning.

MV (Looking skeptically at Seitzer): You're going to believe the man who pulled off the two biggest double- crosses in the history of the sport?

MV: The bottom line is thus, Rudy. I've got a lot of scores to settle in the CSWA, and they start in Norfolk, Virginia. And to quote the Immortal Mr. T... "I Pity the Fool who Gets in MY WAY."

SB: Please tell me he didn't just quote Mr. T. He realizes he's not in Connecticut, right?

BB: That's enough, Sammy. As Mark mentioned in his interview, folks, the next stop on the Road to Winter's Warriors VIII is in Norfolk, Virginia for the first PRIMETIME of the new year. And for the Main Event in Norfolk, CSWA World Champion Deacon announces his intent to be a fighting champion, and has offered to take on ANY wrestler in the CSWA. Names were thrown into a drawing, and I've been told that the CSWA Commissioner Chad Merritt will make that announcement first. So without any further delay, here's comes the chief, the man brought back to the CSWA by Sunshine Del Payne and CSWA Vice-Commissioner Mark Vizzachero.

(Roaming blue lights begin to fill the Corestates Arena with one light looming over the ring and 'No Leaf Clover' - Metallica begins to play over the loudspeakers. Back towards the top of the rampway clouds of smoke begin to rise from the ground as Miso makes her way out. She is wearing red, white, and blue knee high boots with The South Korean Flag on the side. She is also wearing shiny white shorts and cut off tank top that is just buttoned in the front. Behind her the man known as Apocalypse makes his way out with one of the Unified Tag Title belts in his hand. Behind them is 'Mr. Main Event' Rob Sampson along with two ladies of the evening. After him follows 'The Destroyer' Dante Inferno along with Sliky Rose. Finally, behind them, Susan comes out followed by 'Good God' Kevin Powers. As they make their way to the center of the stage Powers white fountain like pyro effect goes off as they pose for the Philly crowd. As The UnHoly make their way into the ring Apocalypse heads towards the center as Miso makes her way in front of him. As they both look off into the crowd the lights slowly return to normal and Miso gets a microphone from one of the ring attendants.)

Miso: Tonight is the night of events past and history made. Susan and Kevin the floor is yours.

Susan: (taking the microphone from Miso) As a friend of mine once did the last time she was here. Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the House of The UnHoly! Introducing first, along with two ladies of his choosing, he is 'Mr. Main Event' Rob Sampson!

Susan: Introducing next is the flower which could very well kill you. Silky Rose!

Susan: Coming up next we have the First Lady of The UnHoly, The South Korean Vixen Nightmare.....Miso!

Susan: Along her side, and current one half of the CSWA Unified Tag Team Champions, the Leader of The UnHoly....Apocalypse!

Susan: Finally there is the man. Currently the other half of the CSWA Tag Team Champions and ALWAYS FULL of US Steel and Sex Appeal....and soon to be the next CSWA WORLD CHAMPION...from Chi-Town, USA....'Good God' Kevin Powers!

(Strangely enough there is a slight cheer for Powers as he takes the mic from Susan)

KP: That's right Philly you know talent when you see it cause not long ago you were here to see it. Back on November 21 of last year it was 'Good God' Kevin Powers and 'Total Elimination' Eli Flair that got into this very ring and drained our blood for you. As a matter of fact I brought some clips of that very night otherwise known as Remembering Timmy. Let's take a look.

(Powers points to the MerrittTron and scenes from the then US Title bout between Powers and Flair begin to show. From the beatings with barbed wire to scenes of going through tables the graphic match continues to be seen by the Philly crowd who is loving every minute of it. As the show is about to close Powers is shown in the center of the ring taking the microphone from Rhubarb Jones.....

POWERS: FLAIR! Remember tonight..... And remember, when you F*** with Kevin Powers.... You KISS THE CANVAS!)

KP: (getting the crowd's attention once again) That was then when Flair was healthy, but this is now where Flair is no where to be seen, but Philly I do not plan to disappoint for I have found a substitution ... and I will touch base on that in a second, but first business. I know many have been asking what the Hell is Powers doing with The UnHoly? What was the plan at WarGames? Well I'm about to answer that right now. The plan at WarGames was one that has been brewing for the longest time. Ever since the days of PLR Apocalypse and I have had everything in place to PROVE that even the best, such as Flair, can be removed from the CSWA....FOREVER! Everything was a set up! The 'breaking of my soul', the introduction of Miso and the 'ambulance ride', the constant phone calls on my cell, and the sad acting I played out in front of the fans. The ACADEMY should be MINE! Now I know everyone is asking about Gina....where is she. Well....how can I put it.....

V/O: (female voice) What you need to do is put down the microphone and get ready cause you're about to see Hell face to face!

('(Can't You)Trip Like I Do' by Filter and The Crystal Method begins to play over the PA system as 'Risqué' Roseanne Fairhurst and Gina come out. As they are making their way to the ring they are slapping hands and soaking up the cheers from the crowd. Once inside of the ring they stare at Powers for a moment before saying something.)

G: You had me drugged in an ambulance. Put into a hospital...in a COMA! I've had a long time to think about what I was going to do to you and with Fairhurst's help I'm going to do it right now.

(Gina begins to open her arms as if she was going to take a swing at Powers, but suddenly starts laughing and begins to share a hug with Powers.)

G: I'm about to tell this crowd how they fell for it ALL! You idiots fell for everything hook, line, and sinker! Not only did you morons buy it, but so did Radder and his tramp Kelly who actually came to the hospital to visit! We fooled the world and it never felt better!

KP: Which brings me to the biggest fool of them all in Deacon! You might feel pretty proud with that belt around your waist right now ya big dummy, but tonight EVERYTHING is going to change! Not only am I going to prove to the entire world what a mute moron that you truly are, but I'm going to take your little title and send you back to your TRUE TITLE....Leader of the Third Stringers! Cause remember Deacon....

(Fairhurst, Susan, Gina, and Powers speak at once): F-f-fa-fa-Faith.....i-i-is....th-th-th-th..THE....Evv--v--vvv-Eviden...ce

KP: And I've got your 'faith' (looks down at the Unified Tag Belt around his waist and then looks back up as he puts his hand on the belt) Down HERE!!!

('No Leaf Clover' - Metallica starts up again as bomb-like pyro effects go off from the ring post and The UnHoly, now with Gina and Fairhurst, head out of the ring)

BB: So Powers is telling us the whole thing was a setup? But what about the Forsaken? Are they part of the UnHoly or not?

BB: Fans, we're going to try this one more time. Without further adieu...here is CSWA Commissioner Chad Merritt!

(Merritt walks down the rampway to a positive, if muted, reaction from the fans. He climbs into the ring, where a podium has been placed.)

CM: I hate to take any time away from the real action, folks, but sometimes it’s important for you to know some of things that are going on behind-the-scenes. Before I get to anything else, there are two things I need to do. First, you all know that Deacon has offered to defend his title in Norfolk against a random opponent. The drawing was held before the show tonight, and Deacon will be defending against one of the members of the Forsaken…none other than Havoc. (crowd pops)

Second, I’d like you to join me in thanking a few people. I know we did this briefly at the Thanksgiving Weekend Spectacular, but I think it’s important as well. From the people that set up this ring, to Gregg Gethard and security, to the merchandising people and arena staff, they all help put together the best shows in the business. And two people in particular stood up and took a stand last year. They tracked me down and made me want to get involved again. I’d like for us all to thank them… and I know they’re standing in the back. They don’t know about this, but I’d like them to come out to the rampway. From the CSWA Board of Directors, Sunshine Del Payne, and CSWA Vice-Commissioner Mark Vizzachero. (crowd cheers as the two slowly come through the curtain from the back)

And if you two would stay there just for a minute, I’ve got one other announcement. Apparently it was leaked that I’ll be adding a "Chief of Staff" to CSWA management. Well, they’re right…and right now, I’d like to bring out the newest member of the CSWA staff. He should be a familiar face to most of you wrestling fans…the new CSWA Chief of Staff…this is JW LOCKE!!

(Former MWC Owner JW Locke comes out from the back. He stops briefly, leveling a smile at Del Payne and Vizzachero. Vizzachero quickly shoots a glance toward Merritt, just before the two head back behind the curtain. Locke makes his way down to the ring. He and Merritt shake hands, then Merritt gives him the microphone.)

JW: I'm not going to take up much more of your time tonight. I just want to thank Commissioner Merritt for bringing onboard the top promotion in the world today as it enters a new decade. Many of you may know me from the MWC...and you can rest assured that I'll run things the same way here as I did there. Oh, and one final thing, by the way, Mark Vizzack, I'd like to O-Fish-Aly welcome your dareDEVIL **** back to hell. (crowd boos)

And before everyone thinks that I've come empty-handed, I did have one ace up my sleeve. No, not Locke Enterprises money... not anyone associated with that skinny loser - Warren Fitzpatrick. I have reached deep down into my pockets to find the most sought after contract in all of wrestling - so much so that WCW took the time to rip off the man's personality. I found the one thing that I could bring to the CSWA that would up the ante for everyone competing here and the 'sheer' enjoyment for everyone watching. I give you now, that contract, that wrestler, that MASTER of sports entertainment... I give you...

(The lights decrescendo to completely black. After a few long seconds of darkness with only the music playing, a plethora of motley colored musical notes and symbols begin flashing all over the ramp way, crowd, ring, and curtain separating the backstage area and the arena.

Suddenly, an amber colored spotlight focuses on the curtain. Two men, dressed in 18^th century servant outfits, walk through and then hold the curtain open. Two young girls come out in ivory 18^th century dresses pulling a red carpet rolled on an ornate brass bar to the ring ending at the stairs. The girls then turn around toward the entrance to await…

Unexpectedly, fireworks explode from the ring posts and the audience can see a delightful grin from J.W. Locke as the amber light turns white and ‘The Maestro’ Byron Blair comes out of the curtain with his dutiful Contessa by his side. Blair is in a black 18^th century tuxedo jacket, white ruffled shirt with ruffled sleeves, and black knee pants. His ebony hair is pulled back in a tight ponytail with a rouge bow holding it in place. Contessa is wearing a crimson 18^th century dress with her now infamous matching bag tied around the wrist. Contessa’s powdered wig is decorated in the back with a matching bow. In her free hand, she is holding an 18^th century Victorian mask to hide her features. This mask dances under the lights from the multicolored gemstones in it and the camera in close up shows a blue stone under one eye in shape of a teardrop.

Behind Blair and Contessa are the two servants that were originally holding the curtain open, one is carrying a cherry stained setting stool and the other a silver tray with a microphone on it. The crowd reacts with deafening jeers for ‘The Maestro’ as he and his lady make their way to the ring along with a few individuals yelling "SISSY", "WUSS", as well as several obscenities. As soon as the couple makes their way to ringside, one servant quickly places the setting stool down near the entrance ramp for Contessa. The other servant, who now is ahead of Blair, goes up the ring stairs in preparation of holding open the ropes. As Blair makes his way up the stairs, the lights crescendo to full. He enters the ring, takes the microphone off the silver plate, and walks to the center of the ring to speak with Locke.

BBl: Monsieur Locke, ‘tis truly an honor for you to have thought of my Beloved and I in your most recent endeavor. I shall find this place the ultimate challenge with such heathens that are not only backstage but attend such an event.

JW: Bryan, I apologize, Byron, I realize that when you were my MWC champion, you performed under a different name. Rumor on the internets are notoriously wrong, so why exactly did you change to Byron Blair?

BBl: I was forced to accept what these serfs would call a ‘stage name’. A second rate wrestler, whom was famous for three seconds about fifteen years ago (fan pop), wished to assert the right to take me to court for monetary gain and to step in the spotlight again upon my coat tails. Alas, due to an agreement between our respected attorneys, I was forced to either pay him to use my own name or change it when I enter the battlefield of the ring.

JW: We all know of the lack of creativity from WCW (actually a solid POP from the crowd). We all know of their constant ‘usurping’ of talent in a vain attempt at covering that impotence. And now, we all know of how blatantly they ripped off you during your absence. This was so complete that they lacked even the common decency to refer to his pathetic submission hold by another name from your perfect figure four. Any thoughts on this usurper to your throne?

BBl: Usurper… to MY throne – hardly. He is but another absurd, no talent, obese, second-rate wrestler who usurped the name of my finale. I tire of the subject and wish not to discuss this matter at this time.

JL: Don’t worry, I hear Dad’s gonna buy out Ted and send him back to pushing cable networks. The floor’s yours Maestro – talk to the people.

BBl: I have arrived here at the CSWA to continue my mission, which I began in the MWC, to bring culture to all the savages of the world. In the MWC, I held a large degree of success. Some said that was due to my connections in the front office, but they would be wrong, for no one can match my psychology, my technical aptitude, and most certainly my dear Contessa’s … assets in ANY match. In the CSWA, I shall entertain the world with my masterpieces both inside and outside of the ring. I shall prove myself in this battlefield and force my adversary to submit to my superiority in class as well as skill. It matters not whether your… (chuckle) vaunted champion stands across from me, the Daredevil, or anyone from the back. Eddy Love may not be by my side in this place, but my educated skill is. I WILL enlighten the CSWA and shall illustrate why without ‘The Maestro’ - the masterpiece shall not be complete.
