CSWA PRIMETIME in Orlando -- April 30, 1999

(Fade in: A small boat is charging across the waves...land is just in sight in front of the craft, as one small man stands on the deck with a cellular phone, as sailors work around him)

Man: I'm almost there, Senor Benson.

Benson: Good. Catch a flight from Miami to Greensboro and come see me immediately. We have to get your name on the lawsuit.

Man: Si, senor.

Benson: Drop the Spanish crap, Juarez. You are a citizen aren't you?

Juarez: Yeah, Sammy. But the Cubans didn't know that.

Benson: (laughs) Apparently neither did GUNS. Anyway, come see me....I'm just about ready to give Merritt his final ultimatum.

Juarez: I'll be there.

(Fade in on the exterior of the stadium in which the CSWA will be invading. By the way the sun is shining, there's another six hours or so until that comes to bear. Cut to a young girl walking the outside wall - almost as if she's looking for something...)

VOICE: You came.

(She spins around to see Mark Windham standing there. He's wearing the same clothing he's been in for the past few months, but they look less disheveled - as if he's taken the time to fix himself up a little. Stubble on his face suggests he shaved no more then two days ago, and his hair is no longer dripping with oil and grease. The girl he's addressing is none other then Sunshine Del Payne...)

MW: You're not Catherine... what are you doing here?

SDP: I had to see you.

MW: So you've seen me. What now?

SDP: I... wanted to thank you for what you did for me... and wanted to know if I could help you at all--

MW: Help me? You don't even know how to help yourself and you want to help me? No... (laughs) I'm done with trying to get people to help me... the day my best friend and my worst enemy joined forces to do me in. That's when I realized that this is a journey I need to take by myself.

SDP: You're best friend and worst enemy...?

MW: Hornet knew Benedict was there. Watching me. Waiting for the right moment. And he took it. He knew what he had to do to get to me. And he made me feel again. He made me FEEL again.

SDP: It's not a bad thing to feel.

MW: What would you know, little girl? Benedict and Timmy destroyed MY life. MINE. Not yours. I didn't see your worst enemy and an imposter come back from the dead to torture YOUR life. But it's okay. That's when I knew that The Awakening had truly begun. Now I have the chance to sever those final ties with my past and finally move forward.

SDP: Mr. Windham... Mark, I visited part of your past. Your home, in Sweetwater? Your wife and daughter? They're part of your past, too, and your little girl wants to be part of your present.

(Windham looks at her, and turns away...)

MW: I... can't. Looking at Jewels, looking at Thelma... would just remind me of what I once was. Something I can never be again. I thought you understood, but I suppose I was wrong again.

(He starts to walk away, but Sunshine grabs him by the arm.)

SDP: I DO understand! Or at least, I'm trying to, but you're not letting anyone in! Look, I don't know what happened with Mickey Benedict, or with Timmy, or with your wife... but your daughter is a link to your past that will always be there. She's someone who will always, ALWAYS love you unconditionally. Trust me on this... As a daughter who never got to know her own father, you and Thelma still have time. Don't make the same mistakes.

MW: Why... do you care so much?

(Sunshine hesitates for just a second...)

SDP: I look at you... I look at the pain you're in... and I wonder, how can anybody not?

(She looks at him, and gives him a hug. He's taken aback at first, but momentarily returns the favor...)

V/O: This program is presented by CS Enterprises in association with U-62 Television.

(Fade in on Hornet, defeating Degadeth for his first CSWA World Heavyweight Championship)

BB(V/O): Every so often, we see something amazing. Something unprecedented. Something that makes us.... remember.

(Cut to: Hornet defeating Wall for his second CSWA World Heavyweight Championship)

BB(V/O): Three times now, we've seen, in the CSWA, an athlete give us something to remember. Three times, we have been blessed by his perseverence, awed by his ability, entertained.... by his Gift to Enthrall.

(Cut to Hornet, defeating Dream Warrior for his THIRD CSWA World Heavyweight Championship)

BB(V/O): The Greatest American Hero..... and for nearly eleven years, he was. For nearly eleven years, Hornet was a man that the CSWA was glad to have on its roster, a wrestler who overcame the odds on countless occasions... a ROLE MODEL, that the children looked up to.

On a damp April evening.... that man may have died.

(Cut to a slow-mo of Hornet branding Vizzack in the back...)

BB(V/O): And in his place, stands the Four Time CSWA World Champion.... Hornet. The Greatest American Hero, turned Businessman. Turned away from his fans.... and branding into our minds forever.... a man we do not know.....

(Cut to: Merritt strapping the CSWA World Heavyweight Title belt around Hornet's waist..... fadeout)

(CUT TO: Capacity crowd in the O-Rena, cheering at the top of their lungs. The camera pans the crowd, pausing at several signs, such as "Business is Personal" or "LOVE the UnHoly" or "It's All About Attitude" et cetera.... Cut to Bill Buckley and Stan Parsons at the broadcast table...)

BB: Hello, Orlando! My name is Bill Buckley, and with me, thank the Lord, is Stan Parsons! We've got a great night of action for you, as our Main Event will see perhaps our two most famous women in the CSWA right now, in Poison Ivy and Sunshine Del Payne, lock up for a match!

SP: This is gonna be a tough one, Bill. Poison Ivy taught Sunshine everything that she knows, but I doubt it's everything SHE knows.

BB: We've also got one of the biggest challenges EVER in the CSWA as Eddy Love has CALLED OUT Dante Inferno!

SP: These two men, and the factions they represent, in PLR and The UnHoly, have been tearing a hole in the CSWA. Hopefully we'll get some answers tonight.

BB: We've also got THREE debuts, as well as one RE-debut! For that matter, let's get to the ring and see Wicked Sight taking on Wesley Paige!

Wicked Sight vs. Wesley Paige

BB: Everyone in the arena knew what to expect from this match. Wesley Paige isn't referred to as "Winless" for nothing. Wicked Sight came to the ring with an impressive entrance, complete with a mask that was "Wicked" to look at. Still, if there were any naysayers doubting his ability, they were silenced in a BIG WAY. Sight took it to Paige every which way but easy, never letting up for a second. He used his lightweight frame to take to the top rope on numerous occasions, thrilling the onlooking crowd with a frog splash, followed by a perfectly executed moonsault! It was a short trip from there to his finisher, A View to Kill, and the winning three-count.

WINNER: Wicked Sight

SP: That kid looked impressive. Strange, but impressive.

BB: Indeed. He's sure to have attracted the attention of more then one superstar in the backstage, wouldn't you say? Some certain.... Members in the back.

SP: You don't mean...

BB: I hope not. Fans, we're ready for the next match tonight, as Wesley Paige's uhm, *partner* Carl Brigsby takes on the debuting Jesse Solomon.

SP: I saw this kid warming up. Brigsby doesn;t have a chance. That is to say, he has less of a chance then normal.

Jesse Solomon vs. Carl Brigsby

BB: Not only was this Jesse Solomon's CSWA debut, but his professional wrestling debut as well! I guarantee, however, that the fans sitting in the seats didn't know it. Solomon handled Brigsby quickly, and efficiently. He nearly cost himself the match, however, when he threw Brigsby over the top rope, as that's a no-no in the CSWA, but the "Lord of Darkness" caught himself and went to the floor of his own accord in the hopes of catching a breather. No such luck, as Solomon got a running start and CATAPULTED himself on top of Brigsby on the outside. Showing no sign of injury from that move, the wiry 20-year old threw his opponent back into the ring and locked on his self-styled finisher, The Crucifier. Having nowhere to go, Brigsby quickly tapped out.

WINNER: Jesse Solomon

SP: I have a feeling this kid is gonna have a HUGE impact on the future of the CSWA. You know who he reminds me of, Buckley? A young Eli Flair.

BB: I was thinking the same thing, Stan. Flair was never one for suicide dives to the outside like that, but striking that, we may have the next Flair in the CSWA. But don't let him hear you say that. We might get another case of Hornet vs. Vizzack.

SP: Good point. Coming up next, ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna see the newest member of the Unholy, K-9, taking on a relative newcomer to the CSWA in Problem Child.

K-9 vs. Problem Child

BB: K-9 was known as the Innovator of Insanity before he joined the UnHoly, but it seemed to have become even more highly magnified. The match never actually got started, as K-9 BRUTALLY attacked PC with a chair to the back of the head! PC was then dropped neck first across the top rope, and K-9 ended it with a spike piledriver, rolling him up for a quick three count. After the match, Problem Child grabbed the microphone and let the "I-o-I" know that he was coming after him.

WINNER: K-9

BB: Oh my god... I can't believe what we just saw.

SP: I may not agree with it, but K-9 did what he had to to get the job done. He showed the same ferocity tonight that he's become infamous for in the regional promotions around the world. I think this move to the Unholy simply made him more vicious, more goal-oriented, and a LOT more focused.

BB: Those are a dangerous combination for this young man to have. Still... to make it to the top of the CSWA, I predict that all he needs is time. And I also predict that we haven't seen the last of matches between these two.

SP: "Ticking away, the moments that make up a dull day...."

BB: Thank you, Roger Waters. Fans, we've got a special treat up next, as "Rage O' Fire" returns to the CSWA as "The Rage" Jared Wells, to take on debuting superstar Matt Dexter. Both men have been looking good in the past week, I can't wait to see how this one comes out.

SP: I predict a good match. VERY good.

"The Rage" Jared Wells vs. "Hard Chargin'" Matt Dexter

BB: Neither Parsons or myself could come up with a winner in this one, but the REAL winners were the fans. Wells started out strong with a textbook armbar into an armdrag, but Dexter showed that he had what it took to wrestle in the CSWA with a kickout reversal that he modified into a DDT! For a full fifteen minutes after that, neither man was truly able to get the advantage. One could say that Wells' experience was an advantage, as he had Dexter on the mat for a good deal of this time, but Dexter showed himself to be no slouch either, as he kept finding the back door or the escape or the counter to a camel clutch, a single leg Boston Crab, as well as inumerable headlocks, armlocks, and chinlocks. Finally, Dexter reversed a side headlock into a belly- to- back suplex that rocked the Rage! Wasting no time, he set Wells up for a Cradle Brainbuster, followed up with his finishing move, The Binge, when the bell suddenly rang! Rhubarb got on the mic and announced that the twenty minute time limit had expired, and the match was a draw! In the middle of the ring, with a standing ovation all around them, Dexter and Wells exchanged a quick handshake before leaving separately for the locker room.

WINNER: Draw

BB: Well, you predicted a good match, and you were right! That has been, to this point, the HIGHLIGHT of the night! And we may see another match between these two!

SP: We've still got a lot of action, don't forget. Fans, this is the CSWA's PRIMETIME in Orlando, but coming up in two weeks, BATTLE OF THE BELTS XVI: Personal Business!!!

(CUT TO: Dark screen, with BOBXVI in the background... Cue Up: "Money" - Pink Floyd...)

BB(V/O): We all saw what happened...

(CUT TO: The end of the Hornet/Vizzack match at SHOWTIME...)

BB(V/O): This time... there's a little difference.

(The BOBXVI image fades, CUT TO: Hornet with the belt on the left side of the screen, Vizzack on the right... In the middle is a question mark...)

BB(V/O): One man... may hold the key to the outcome of this fight. A man to enforce the rules, a man to declare a winner... A man, with the POWER... with the COURAGE... to stand in between these two warring parties.

At Battle of the Belts... We will see who that man is.

(Fade out, CUT TO: Buckley and Parsons)

SP: So they got a volunteer? Who?

BB: I heard Greg Townsend wanted to do it, but CSWA officials have apparently found someone! Or maybe had someone planned all along, knowing Merritt. All that's coming from Merritt and Thomas, however, is that this is an international superstar of some importance.

SP: That's supposed to narrow it down?

BB: Apparently so.

BLADE vs. "Hard Body" Bobby Jackson

BB: This is the continuation of a feud that began way back at PRIMETIME in Baltimore, in the Four Corner's Cage Match when Jackson was known as Mr. X. He has sworn to single- handedly dismantle The Unholy, beginning with Blade. Ten out of ten for intentions, but minus several hundred for intelligent thinking. In Blade's corner was a towering presence hidden under a brown robe that could be nobody other then Dante Inferno, as well as a scantily clad Silky Rose! The fans attention was mostly focused on her and Katie J's inevitable catfight that encompassed Katie J's hair being lit on fire! Rose was subsequently ejected from the ringside area, but the damage was done. Blade ended it with the Guillotine Blade at the thirteen minute mark, taking time after the match to declare over the house mic that "The UnHoly has finished with Hard Body." We'll see if it holds true.

WINNER: Blade

SP: The Unholy simply continues to impress, week after week. And with two teams in the second round of the Unified Tag Team Tournament, they've statistically got the best chance of bringing home even more gold.

BB: Without a doubt. Nemesis is looking at his toughest challenge to date in "Iceman" Steve Radder, but if he manages to hold onto the gold, the Unholy will most likely have the United States title as well as the Tag Team titles. And with characters like Apocalypse and Dante Inferno... is the Greensboro or World Championships truly that far out of reach?

SP: First, they have to WIN the titles, don't forget.

BB: I didn't. On the other side of the spectrum, however, we're going to see God's Protege up next, taking on Cool Moe D. Any favorites, Stan?

SP: I'm done picking favorites - let's just get to the match.

God's Protege vs. Cool Moe D

BB: This was a great match between two young talents in the CSWA. God's Protege and Cool Moe D were both wrestling 100 percent, and even though the Orlando crowd is used to seeing "big" names in the ring, they were equally cheering on both competitors. God's Protege kept the advantage through the early minutes with a series of dropkicks and a devastating powerslam! CMD turned it around, however, with a reversed Irish Whip and a backdrop! It was far rom over, however, when CMD missed a moonsault attempt and GP followed up with a HUGE clothesline and a powerbomb! Just at that moment... things turned ugly. Nemesis slid out from the crowd and kayoed Patrick Young with a steel chair just in time for Black's Army to hit the ring! All three laid into God's Protege for a good five minutes, enticing The Man Himself... DEACON... to ringside. The Unholy all went after him, leaving God's Protege out in the ring, Cool Moe D coming to and wondering what happened, and Patrick Young pulling himself together. Deacon fought off The Unholy, though the three men seemed content with the damage they caused. CMD didn't hesitate, however, and covered GP as soon as referee Young was up.

WINNER: Cool Moe D

SP: The Unholy strikes again.

BB: God's Protege was lost in there until Deacon showed up... but something irks me. Even a man the size of Deacon will have trouble with three opponents, but they seemed to just want to get out of there.

SP: They handed God's Protege a loss, that seemed to be on their mind. We'll just have to wait to see what Deacon's response to all this is going to be.

Greensboro Championship Match
"The Hard One" Randy Harders vs. TJ Knuckles

BB: These two huge men collided with the force of an atomic bomb! After the first lockup, TJ came out on top, wrapping Harders up with a half-nelson and then following with a suplex from the half-nelson position. The challenger followed up with a karate kick to the throat as Harders climbed to his feet. With that advantage, TJ was able to catch Harders with a short clothesline. He tried to follow up, but Harders quickly rolled out of the ring. When he came back in, the momentum had changed. Harders charged the man, scooping him up and putting him down with a body slam. TJ tried to hook in the half-nelson for the suplex again, but Harders broke the hold and pulled TJ down with a quick DDT!!! That broke the door open for Harders, who quickly followed with a legdrop to keep his challenger on the mat. And then in an incredible demonstration of strength and power, Harders scooped up the challenger and locked on the Whirlwind! Thirty seconds later, it was all over.

WINNER and still Greensboro Champion: "The Hard One" Randy Harders

SP: Harders extends his undefeated streak one more match. Can anybody beat this man?

BB: To his credit, he's a phenominal athlete, and he's getting better every day. However, his opponents are men such as Rap Man, Bobby Jackson, TJ Knuckles... Credit to these men, but they're not in the caliber of a Kevin Powers or a Mark Vizzack.

SP: He's wrestled and BEATEN Aaron Douglas, as well as current United States Champ Nemesis.

BB: He has indeed, but his victory over Douglas was dubious at best. That's what the rematch at Battle of the Belts is for.

SP: Of course, but the real reason everyone is tuning in is that big main event. Hornet and Poi---

(CUE UP: "Highway to Hell" -AC/DC)

BB: Wait a minute, what's this?

(Pyro comes to the ring to a mixed reaction... He's got a microphone in hand...)

Pyro: Show a little respect to a future champion! I asked. I told. I Demanded a match here tonight, but the CSWA staff didn't have the decency to give me one! So I'm laying it all down right now! Anyone in the locker room who wants a shot at Pyro, bring it on!

(He drops the microphone and waits for some action...)

BB: Well, that's a tall order for a rookie to be making. It's likely to blow up in his face.

SP: Look... not if nobody comes out.

BB: True, but think about the people we have in the--

(Buckley gets cut off as- CUE UP: "Smoke on the Water" - Deep Purple... and the entire arena begins to cheer...)

SP: That's it, Pyro's a dead man.

BB: Fans at home, if you haven't guessed, Pyro's challenge has been answered by none other then former CSWA World Champion "Daredevil" Mark Vizzack! He's not looking too happy, either.

SP: Sunshine's almost got to RUN to keep up with him. Wait... what did he say to Rhubarb?

BB: I think it was, "Ring the bell." VIZZACK SLINGHOTS HIMSELF OVER THE TOP AND CATCHES PYRO WITH AN ELBOW!

SP: He's got a lot of anger right now after what happened in San Antonio... Look - you can still see the brand on his back.

BB: Of course you can. That's there for life. Hornet's legacy.

SP: Vizzack picks Pyro up by the hair... whips him into the ropes... FLYING HEAD SCISSORS! Buckley, we haven't seen a LICK of offense out of Pyro!

BB: Honestly, against Mark Vizzack I didn't expect to. Pyro gets up... LOW BLOW to Vizzack!

SP: You were saying?

BB: So sue me. Pyro sends Vizzack into the ropes... bad idea! FLYING CROSS BODY by the former World Champion! Vizzack whips him into the corner... VIZZ SPLASH!

SP: You know what this means...

BB: Vizzack sends Pyro into the ropes... Double Axehandle to the midsection! He runs into the ropes... slingshot... DAREDEVIL FLYER! There's the cover, 1...........2..............3! Vizzack wins!

SP: Were you expecting anything else?

BB: You know, it's been a few months since Vizzack actually got a victory. I believe Hornet interjected himself into EVERY MATCH he wrestled between ELVIS LIVES XI and SHOWTIME in San Antonio!

SP: Vizzack's arm is raised, and he's asking for a microphone. We haven't seen anyone do this since Hornet did so last summer before the World Title tournament. Vizzack is on the top turnbuckle, and he looks ready to speak.

MV: I just want to start this off by saying that yes, I've heard all the rumors. I've heard that I'm losing it, that I might leave the CSWA, that I've been scarred for life by Hornet.

Well, let me dispel some of these right now. I'm not losing it anymore now then I was six months ago. And as far as the CSWA is concerned... that all depends on Hornet. This brand on my back, is there for life. Until I die, everyone who sees me will know that Hornet was "Taking Care of Business."

For those of you who don't know, that's semantic for "Hornet put a branding iron to my back AND to my head and, after interference from seven people, took my title." I suppose that's my payback for throwing the belt at you in Santa Fe. And I know, it's just "business," but MY business is about to turn personal.

The way I see it, Hornet, the account's not cleared up yet. We're not "even" yet. You can talk all you want about how you've been screwed in the past, about how you've been robbed of this, that, and the other thing... That's all well and good. I feel your pain.

But taking it out on me, just because I was wearing the CSWA World Title... Do you really think you're in the right? Do you really think you're being "noble?"

For that matter... do you really think anyone gives a damn anymore?

I told you I felt your pain, Hornet... with everything you've been through, it's hard not to. Now you're going to feel mine.

(Vizzack gets down from the turnbuckle, gives Sunshine a small hug, and the two leave for the dressing rooms.)

BB: I remember making comparisons between Hornet and Mark Vizzack last summer... it looks like I was more right then I knew.

SP: They've got precious little in common now, wouldn't you say?

BB: Fans, we'll be right back.

(CUT TO: Commercial for CSWA ANNIVERSARY 1999: Revelation.)

SP: Are ya ready for a little WAR?

BB: Was that your attempt at making a funny?

SP: I think it was pretty good, considering our next match.

BB: True... Fans, if you didn't figure it out, we're coming down the home stretch for PRIMETIME in Orlando, and the first half of our double Main Event... which means, we're about to host a war. Let's get up to Rhubarb.

"Hurricane" Eddy Love vs.
"The Destroyer" Dante Inferno

RJ: Ladies and gentlemen.... This contest is scheduled for one fall, with a twenty minute time limit, to be officiated by referee Pee Wee Troutman!

(Cue Up: "Whole Lotta Love" - Led Zeppelin... HUGE heel pop)

Introducing first, to be accompanied to the ring by his manager Sweet Melissa, and his tag team partner, "Good God" Kevin Powers... From Clemson, South Carolina, weighing in at 255 pounds.... "HURRICANE" EDDY LOVE!!!!!

(From behind the backstage curtain pops Sweet Melissa dressed in solid black short sun dress. With her is "Good God" Kevin Powers, dressed in his wrestling attire. Melissa turns, facing the curtain holding her arms together while pointing as "Hurricane" Eddy Love comes through the curtain with his hair sprayed to perfection. Love is wearing a T-shirt that reads "I Break It, You Bought It" on the front and "what's not to LOVE about Hurricane Eddy" on the back. They come down the aisle and Melissa holds the ropes open while Eddy enters the ring, pulls the top rope then jogs to the other side of the ring and tugs on the other rope.)

BB: Here comes the former CSWA World Heavyweight Champion, with his two best friends flanking him. He looks nervous, Stan.

SP: Even Eddy Love... wouldn't you be nervous in this situation, Buckley?

BB: Point taken.

RJ: AND HIS OPPONENT... From The Ninth Level of Hell... and accompanied to the ring by his manager, Silky Rose, as well as his tag team partner, BLADE...

(Cue Up: "Mummified in Barbed Wire" - Cannibal Corpse... the lights all go down.)

Weighing in at 386 pounds... "The Destroyer" DANTE INFERNO!

(All attention focuses on the curtain now... Blade enters the arena first, holding an ancient looking torch. This is the only light source in the arena, save the cigarette lighters of many fans in the seats. Following Blade is Silky Rose, decked out in a black leather bikini that's covered in spikes, a studded dog collar, and thigh-high black boots with four inch heels. Her hair is a mix of platinum blonde and flourescent pink. Behind her... is a dark robed figure that can only be Inferno.

Without saying a word, Blade holds the torch to Inferno's robes and they quickly catch flame. At the same time, the trio begins to walk to the ring. Inferno holds his arms out, nearly touching the fans with his flaming presence... Upon arriving at the ring, he steps toward Sweet Melissa, who deftly stands behind Love and Powers. For that matter, these two men look almost amused at the theatrics.

A blast of smoke, a blinding display of pyrotechnics, and the arena is completely lit and Inferno has removed his now- extinguished robes.)

BB: That was an experience, to say the least.

SP: Look at Love and Powers, if they're intimidated, they're doing an amazing job at hiding it. Melissa, on the other hand, looks like she wants to grab both men by the arms and remove their complete presence from the ring.

BB: She's getting nervous by the way Rose is staring at her. There's the bell, and Troutman is trying to clear the ring!

SP: Why in the world was Pee Wee called on to do this match? Shouldn't he have been out here with Brigsby and Paige? For that matter, he CAN'T be happy about having to get in between Love and Inferno right now.

BB: At least he got Powers out of there, and with him down on the floor, Blade has followed... OH MY GOD!! SILKY ROSE JUST THREW A FIREBALL AT SWEET MELISSA! Good Lord, her dress has caught fire!

SP: This has gone too far already.

BB: Eddy Love attempts to put the flames out, and Inferno catches him with a forearm to the upper back! He's continuing to pound on the former Champion, hammering him to his knees! Where's Melissa, Stan?

SP: She's okay, Bill... Troutman and Powers were able to put out the flames. I can't believe what we saw from Silky Rose.

BB: Inferno calls her his Angel of Death... I guess we know why, huh? Back to the match, Inferno has Love in the corner, and he's choking him down! Eddy Love is not a small man, but Inferno's gotta have at least half a foot on him! Troutman calls for the break, but there's no quarter given!

SP: He better watch it, or he'll get disqualified!

BB: Inferno finally breaks, and he's turned his attention on Troutman! LOVE HAMMERS INFERNO IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD! And again! Inferno hasn't even turned around! A kick to the back of the knee, and the big man is rocked!

SP: He got his attention, allright... but is it what he really wanted?

BB: Fans, the look of determination is still on Eddy Love's face... but the arrogance and confidence he has displayed in the past has disappeared. Can he beat Dante Inferno? Another kick to the knee, but I think he's just making him mad! DANTE GRABS HIM BY THE THROAT! He's got Eddy Love by the throat! He's choking him down!

SP: What the hell is Rose doing?

BB: Silky Rose has removed a spike from her um... outfit. She... NO! She tosses the spike to Inferno! He's going to stake Love in the chest! NO! Troutman grabs his arm and calls for the break! INFERNO LIFTS TROUTMAN UP! INFERNO HAS EDDY SET UP!

SP: Don't talk too soon... Backup!

BB: KEVIN POWERS IS IN THE RING! KEVIN POWERS IS IN THE RING! He has a chair... and CRACKS THE CHAIR OVER THE BACK OF INFERNO'S HEAD! Dante drops Love and turns around! BLADE COMES IN BEHIND POWERS AND ATTACKS HIM WITH THE BUTT OF THAT TORCH! Now Silky Rose is approaching Melissa again!

SP: This degenerated faster then I thought it would.

BB: Faster? Slower, for me. Powers takes Blade to the outside, right in between Rose and Melissa! Troutman looks like he's attempting to regain some control to the match.

SP: He may have done it... Love and Inferno have separated, and they're just glaring at each other. Troutman gives them the fight sign, and Love begins to circle!

BB: Notice how Inferno doesn't move at all except to keep Eddy Love in his line of vision. More mind games are being played there. Love locks up with him, and hits a thumb to the eyes! And now a fist to the windpipe! He's got the big man rocked, let's see if he can take him down! Love off the ropes... JUMPING SHOULDERBLOCK... INFERNO STAGGERS... AGAIN... HE'S ROCKED THE BIG MAN! Love to the corner... he climbs the turnbuckle... FLYING CLOTHESLINE! INFERNO GOES DOWN! INFERNO GOES DOWN!

SP: And Rose has gone after Melissa again! Powers gets in between them, but Blade catches him with a chair!

BB: I think he saw it coming, but Blade did manage to clip him! And now it's Powers and Blade trading right hands on the outside! In the ring, Love has scooped up this nearly four hundred pound man... HURRICANE PILEDRIVER! HURRICANE PILEDRIVER! The cover, 1..........2.............NO! INFERNO REACHED UP AND GRABBED LOVE BY THE THROAT! He's climbing back to his feet! Wait, what's this?

SP: Steve Radder has emerged from the locker room, and Sweet Melissa gets behind him! Silky Rose still approaches!

BB: Back in the ring, Inferno still has Love by the throat... CHOKESLAM! There's the cover by Dante... 1.................2............NO! Love's not done yet.

SP: Love's doing exactly what he said he'd do, and that's give Inferno a fight! Powers and Blade have given up fighting each other on the outside, and Steve Radder joins his PLR club at ringside! This is going to get ugly, Buckley.

BB: You mean it's not so far? Love's manager has been burned and he himself has nearly been impaled! I think it's pretty ugly! I don't like the situation this brings into play. We've seen a BRUTAL match to this point by both men, and it only proves to get even more brutal!

SP: This isn't good... Melissa, Powers, AND Radder are all moving toward Blade and Rose! Who knows what sort of scheme they've cooked up.

BB: Inferno with a faceslam! Love is a sitting duck! He'd better come up with some sort of strategy, and fast!

SP: I think he heard you. Look, he just reached into his trunks for something! FIST TO INFERNO'S HEAD! The big man is rocked! Buckley, he loaded his fist!

BB: Troutman didn't see it! I doubt ANYone in the building saw it! POWERS AND RADDER MAKE THEIR MOVE! THEY JUMP BLADE! Rose went to help but MELISSA CAUGHT HER IN THE HEAD WITH A CHAIR! OH MY GOD!

SP: I think Inferno heard that. He's facing the carnage.

BB: Troutman tries to break it up, Powers moves away from the wreckage... and Inferno is facing him! Love from behind, NO! Dante caught him with a fist! Troutman! Pay attention to the match! Melissa is arguing with him, and Radder was able to sneak away! What's he doing? He slides the chair into the ring! POWERS MAKES HIS MOVE! POWERS MAKES HIS MOVE! He's in the ring, and he CLOTHESLINES INFERNO! LOVE SCHOOLBOYS HIM! OH MY GOD, HIS HEAD BOUNCED INTO THAT CHAIR!

SP: It seems PLR attitude held fast.

BB: MELISSA POINTS TROUTMAN AROUND, THE COVER, 1..................2....................3! 3! Eddy Love has DEFEATED Dante Inferno!

SP: Correction, Bill... It took Eddy Love, Kevin Powers, Steve Radder AND Sweet Melissa... but the victory is awarded to Love!

BB: Be that as it may, the MONSTER of a man, Dante Inferno, is coming around, and he's pointing at Love! I think he's trying to tell Troutman that he cheated!

SP: You really think that? Look!

BB: BLADE IS IN THE RING! HE ATTACKS POWERS WITH THAT CHAIR AGAIN! This time, from behind! Powers can't get out of the way! INFERNO GRABS LOVE AND RADDER! DOUBLE CHOKESLAM! Here comes the rest of the Unholy! Pat Black... Nemesis... K-9... Where's Apocalypse?

SP: I don't think it matters. It's now five on three. What's that in Silky Rose's hand?

BB: She's handing Inferno a pair of gloves... Nemesis hits the ring first and goes to work on Radder! Black and K-9 both go after Eddy Love, and Blade is holding Kevin Powers by the arms! Inferno puts on those gloves... Oh my god! This is beyond evil! There are four nails sticking through those gloves! HE'S GOING TO ATTACK POWERS WITH THEM!

SP: I don't think we can watch this.

BB: Marvin! Wide shot! NOW! NO! POWERS kicks Inferno in the stomach! INFERNO SPIKED POWERS' LEG! Kevin Powers is screaming in pain! Radder dodges a punch by Nemesis and drops him with a T-Bone suplex on the outside! He's in the ring now and he locks up with Inferno! DANTE BACKHANDED RADDER! He's got four lines of blood dripping down his face! This is worse then ELVIS LIVES!

SP: Good timing, Gethard! Here comes security, and I believe they're armed! They're rounding up the Unholy, and are leading them away! Powers is leaning on Eddy Love... and he's got a microphone!

KP: Listen up and LISTEN GOOD! You think you can undermine PLR attitude with one little beat- down? You are in for a HELL of a shock... damn... (Powers grimaces, as he tries to put weight on his leg) You UnHoly are in for the SHOCK OF YOUR LIFE at Battle of the Belts!

BB: This war is getting hotter all the--

VOICE(Cutting Buckley off): You, Powers... are in for a SHOCK, at Battle of the Belts!

BB: What's that?

(The MerrittTron lights up, revealing the Unholy leader, Apocalypse.)

APOC: Ha ha ha. The mighty PLR and their heroic friend have once again fallen to The UnHoly, but that is expected. Kevin Powers. You are my interest right now so it would be wise if you paid attention. Your recent words spoken to Buckley and Seitzer were very amusing to hear. When you spewed your venom you only utter one bit of truth. It was true that we met in Seoul, South Korea, but the rest is just a fabrication of your self-expanded ego. It was true that we met in that rotten hole you call a second home, but the fact of the matter is that I was the one that found you. You did not find the Apocalypse. It was you that was down on your luck because you were recently discharged out of the military for your 'mood swings'. You were the one that called the Apocalypse over and begged for my help. You looked to me for a safe passage and I gave you one!

KP: You're a liar!

A: Am I? I'm the one that said you should take you frustration and anger and point it towards a new direction. You eventually entered a wrestling exhibition and were noticed. I am the one that pointed you towards the right direction and yet you dare to bite at the hand that fed you. Since you have decided to choose this path then it is one you must walk with caution. Your destiny has been set forth and soon. Oh very soon Kevin Powers. You will look destiny eye to eye and realize that there is no turning back. There is no escape. Soon Kevin Powers you will be introduced to your worse possible fear and the only one you can thank is yourself. The Dark Reign cloaks the CSWA like a shroud with no light piercing through its dark fabric. And in that shroud will be your crying and screaming soul BEGGING for forgivness. Let me assure you Kevin Powers….there is, nor will there ever be, none…for…YOU!

(The MerrittTron fades to darkness.)

BB: I don't exactly know what that was all about... but I suppose it's just as well. PLR is exiting the arena now, under their own power, believe it or not. Eddy Love was victorious against Inferno, but he and his colleagues paid the price. We take you now to the backstage area, where Rudy Seitzer is standing with Sunshine Del Payne.

(CUT TO: Rudy Seitzer in the back with Sunshine. She's wearing a "Mark Vizzack" black T-Shirt, and a pair of black leotard shorts in addition to her boots. Her hair is pulled into a long braid down her back, and she looks nervous.)

RS: Hello fans, this is Rudy Seitzer, and I'm standing here with Ms. Del Payne. First of all, we will bring you up- to- date info on the status of the various members of PLR as soon as we have it. Second, this woman standing right next to me has told me that she does not intend to fight tonight

SDP: I don't feel like fighting is the answer. I told Miss Ivy that a while ago. But this is the only way to get her face to face to talk to her. Miss Ivy, I know you're watching, so I want you to come to the ring and LISTEN to me. Just listen, that's all I ask you to do.

(Sunshine walks away, toward the door.)

RS: Bill, Stan... back to you.

BB: I don't know about this... that kid's too naive for her own good.

SP: In any case, it's time to get this one started. Rhubarb?

RJ: Ladies and gentlemen, this contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Baltimore, Maryland... weighing in at 108 pounds, the manager of "Daredevil" Mark Vizzack... SUNSHINE DEL PAYNE!!!

(Cue Up: "Special" - Garbage. Sunshine comes out by herself, toting a microphone. HUGE pop by the fans.)

Her opponent... from Queens, New York... weighing in at 122 pounds... POISON IVY!

(Cue Up: "Playing Your Song" - Hole. Ivy comes out decked in an athletic bra and black ADIDAS shorts. She's pulled her hair back into a ponytail. She has her sunglasses on, and her Singapore Cane over her shoulder. So- so pop, she'll always have her fans, but at the same time, her actions these past few months have disgusted many.)

BB: We've heard the word from Sunshine that she doesn't want a fight. Let's see if she can get her wish!

SDP(In the ring): Miss Ivy... what happened to us? We were friends, or at least, I thought we were. I heard what you said. I heard you talk about me and Mark replacing you and Hornet, when it's the last thing we had in mind. I wish I could go back in time and help you fix the things that upset you, but I can't. All I can do is try and make amends here.

Look at me, Miss Ivy... I can see the girl that I became friends with still in there somewhere. I miss her. I want to talk to her. The girl that made me laugh, the woman who taught me to defend myself.

I understand what you're going through... but what you did to Mark... what you did to Mr. Flair... what you and Hornet have been doing to all of Mark's opponents, it has to stop. We can leave here now and settle up any way we can think of. All I want is for things to be back the way they were.

Miss Ivy... we were friends. Please talk to me.

(Ivy stands there, partially stunned.)

BB: Sunshine hands the microphone off to Poison Ivy... will we see a change of heart for this battle-scarred manager?

SP: We could. Listen to these fans, they're cheering for a reconciliation! Shhh, Ivy's gonna talk!

IVY: Kiddo... your little speech only left me with one thing to say...

(Ivy takes off her sunglasses and appears to be wiping a tear from her eye)

Ring the ****ing bell!

BB: OH MY GOD! Poison Ivy calls for the bell, and she HITS SUNSHINE IN THE HEAD WITH HER SINGAPORE CANE! There's the cover, 1........2.........3! Ivy gets the victory here, and here comes Mark Vizzack! He ignores Ivy and heads straight to Sunshine... Ivy has the microphone again.

IVY: Sorry, kids, it's just business.

SP: That summed that up.

BB: Indeed it did. Fans, we're just about out of time here! For Stan Parsons and Rudy Seitzer, my name is Bill Buckley. We'll see you in ten days! We'll see you in Buffalo, New York! We'll see you... at BATTLE OF THE BELTS!

(CUT TO: Vizzack in the ring, helping Sunshine get back to her feet... fade to black...)
