DT: NO! BEAST GETS THE ARM IN THE AIR AT THE LAST SECOND WITH HIS FIST CLENCHED IN DEFIANCE, AND THIS PLACE IS ON FIRE!

MN: WHAAAT?! That was SO over!

DM: Man! Beast's been like a damn battle tank through this whole thing! What power! What resilience!

DT: Dis can't believe Beast is still in this thing, but the champion just will not give up here in Houston, Texas!

DM: He's got the heart of a champion, Dave Thomas!

DT: Dis not letting up here... grabs a handful of Beast's hair and pulls him to his feet, and there's the elbow smashes to the jaw of the champion. The Irish whip... Beast with the reversal... Dis comes off the ropes, DUCKS the big lariat from Beast! Dis coming back off the ropes, and there's the flying forearm, dropping Beast to a knee!

DM: That would've put a lesser man on his back right now. Beast's in bad shape, but he's still a rock in there.

MN: He's the Immovable Object!

DT: Here comes Dis now, hooking the head of Beast... looking for a SNAP SUPLEX... He can't quite get Beast up! Looking for a DDT instead... Beast GRABS THE TOP ROPE and Dis falls back by himself!

DM: Beast's still feeling the effects of that beating and all that punishment on the outside. He's trying to clear his head when he could've capitalized and stomped a mudhole into Dis here.

DT: Beast giving his head a good shake here - finally, gives Dis a good kick and hauls him slowly to his feet. Cradles the head... reels him in for the front facelock and PULLS him up for the suplex! Rolling slowly over for the cover!

One...

TWO...

Dis with the kickout!

MN: Sorry, Loafy! Not yet!

DT: The champion is undaunted but tired as he slowly, carefully pulls Dis up off the mat... pulls him in and sends him into the corner with the Irish whip. Charges in after him, and there's the big knee lift to the sternum!

DM: That's gonna really shake up a little guy like Dis. If Beast wants to have any chance of winning he's gonna keep throwing his weight around. He's on tough footing, but if he can keep the momentum-

DT: Wait, Beast locking the arms around Dis... Backs up... BELLY-TO-BELLY!

DM: That was kind of a ponderous suplex... Beast's worn out, but he's keeping the pressure on.

DT: Dis is reeling on the canvas now... Beast slumps back in the corner, trying to gain back some of his stamina. Slowly, Dis beginning to come to his feet...

MN: Hit 'em, Loafy!

DT: Up comes Dis... Beast storms out of the corner and CRAMS Dis' face into the mat with the big bulldog! The cover!

One!

TWO!

...NO! Dis gets that shoulder up!

MN: YEAH! Eat that, Loafy!

DM: I wouldn't be so excited, Neels... Beast is picking Dis apart bit by bit here.

MN: Lies! All lies!

DT: Again Beast cradling that masked head of Dis and pulling him up to his feet... PULLS HIM INTO A STANDING HEADSCISSORS... WE COULD SEE AN ABSOLUTION! HOOKS THE ARMS... NO! Dis pulls Beast's legs out from under him and rolls over for the bridge pin! This could be over!

One!

TWO!

THREE!

 
...NO! BEAST KICKED OUT AT THE LAST SECOND!

MN: THAT WAS THREE!

DT: I can't believe Beast kicked out of that! What heart by the champion!

DM: That man is a TANK.

DT: Slowly Beast beginning to roll to his feet... and Dis just FLIPS OUT and starts kicking Beast in the head and upper back repeatedly! Now dropping to his knees and slugging Beast in the mouth repeatedly! The referee tries to intervene - Dis shouts him down!

DM: Dis is all fired up! He's getting frustrated at Beast's resilience and he just wants to put him away!

DM: Dis is... DISSIN' HIM! Hah!

DM: ...No.

DT: Now Dis finally pulling Beast off the canvas and backing him into the ropes, and there's the series of jabs and forearms, pushes him back and slingshots him into the Irish whip. Runs towards Beast on the rebound... SPINNING HEADSCISSORS INTO A DDT DESTROYS BEAST COMPLETELY! COVER! IT'S OVER!

ONE!

 
TWO!

 

THREE!

...NO! NO! MY GOD, HOW THE HELL DID BEAST KICK OUT?!

DM: GOD!

DT: Dis now YANKING Beast off the canvas! GOING UP FOR THE HURRICANRANA... BEAST GRABS AHOLD... THEY'RE FIGHTING OVER IT... DIS WITH THE RIGHT HANDS TO THE HEAD, AND HE HURRICANRANAS BEAST TO THE OUTSIDE BUT FALLS OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH HIM AND BOTH MEN ARE DOWN ON THE OUTSIDE!

MN: Bodies are everywhere! This is complete carnage! It's like a massacre out here!

DT: The referee's starting the count, but Beast and Dis aren't moving!

DM: Come on, come on, get up!

DT: Beast starting to stir... Dis beginning to pull himself up with the help of the ring barricade...

MN: Come on, Dis...

DT: Both men unsteadily to their feet... Dis moves first, looking to slug Beast in the jaw, but BEAST GRABS HIM BY THE WAIST AND PLOWS HIM INTO THE BARRICADE!

MN: OWWWW!

DM: That was BRUTAL!

DT: Wait a minute... Dis being hooked up by Beast... the champion SPINS HIM AROUND... BRINGS HIM UP AND OH MY GOD HE JUST SUPLEXED DIS BACK-FIRST ACROSS THE BARRICADE! SWEET JESUS, HE'LL KILL HIM!

DM: MY GOD! HE'LL CRACK HIS SPINE IN TWO!

MN: LOOK AT DIS TWITCHING!

DT: WHAT A DESTRUCTIVE MANEUVER BY THE CHAMPION! The referee's still counting! Beast picks up Dis tiredly... PULLS HIM ONTO THE APRON AND GETS INTO THE RING... SUPLEXES DIS OVER THE ROPES AND BACK INTO THE RING!

DM: Beast is just PUNISHING the challenger right now!

DT: Again the World Champion bringing his opponent to his feet... Irish whip... Dis reverses... Beast rebounds... Dis with the CLOTHESLINE BUT BEAST DUCKS AND DIS WINGS THE REFEREE!

MN: REF!

DT: Dis turning to go after Beast - BEAST WITH THE BOOT TO THE GUT! HOOKS UP DIS IN THE HEADSCISSORS! HOOKS THE ARMS! THIS CROWD IS GOING CRAZY! WE COULD SEE AN ABSOLUTION HERE - WAIT A MINUTE - SOMEONE JUST REACHED IN FROM RINGSIDE AND PULLED DIS AWAY FROM BEAST BY THE LEG - IT'S THE OTHER DIS!

DM: WHAT THE HELL?!

DT: THE SECOND DIS PULLS THE FIRST TO THE OUTSIDE! NOW HAMMERING AT THE FIRST DIS! JUST SLUGGING AWAY! RIGHT HAND! RIGHT HAND! RIGHT HAND! WHAT THE HELL IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!

MN: Loafy doesn't like this!

DT: Beast is FURIOUS! Starting out of the ring to break it up -

(CROWD POP!)

DT: LOOK OUT, CROSS JUST CAME OUT THROUGH THE CURTAIN AND HE'S NOW SLUGGING AT THE SECOND DIS! THE SECOND DIS DROPS THE FIRST DIS AND SLUGS BACK AT CROSS! THEY'RE GOING SHOT FOR SHOT! CROSS KNOCKS THE SECOND DIS OVER THE RING BARRICADE AND GOES OVER AFTER HIM!

DM: THIS IS CRAZY! It's an all-out heap of chaos!

DT: DIS 2 AND CROSS BRAWLING IN THE CROWD! THEY'RE EXCHANGING RIGHTS AND LEFTS, TRYING TO GET THE BETTER OF EACH OTHER!

DM: Beast getting back into the ring... He's just watching the brawl!

DT: Cross NAILS Dis 2 with the huge knee to the gut and throws him down! Going to hit him in the face - DIS 2 GRABS A BEER FROM A FAN AND RAMS IT INTO CROSS' FACE!!!

MN: They're gonna kill each other!

DT: Cross trying to recover WAIT A MINUTE THE FIRST DIS JUST ROLLED UP BEAST FROM BEHIND -

ONE -

TWO -

THREE NO BEAST KICKS OUT AND GRABS DIS AND TOSSES HIM RIGHT OUT OF THE RING TO THE FLOOR! Now he's going down after him - Slugging away at Dis! Right hand! Right hand - DIS ELBOWS BEAST IN THE GUT AND SMASHES HIS FACE AGAINST THE RING BARRIER, AND THE OFFICIAL ISN'T EVEN BOTHERING TO COUNT ANYMORE!

DM: The ref can't even control this... it's madness!

MN: And Cross and Dis 2 are STILL killing each other - HOLY CRAP CROSS JUST THREW DIS 2 FACE-FIRST INTO A WALL!

(SPLITSCREEN: Dis and Beast on the larger left screen, Cross and Dis 2 on the smaller right screen.)

DT: Beast's reeling here - wait, Dis REACHES INTO THE CROWD - PULLS OUT A FOLDING CHAIR - SWINGS AT BEAST BUT BEAST PUNCHES THE CHAIR TO BLOCK THE SHOT! DIS SWINGS AGAIN AND CONNECTS RIGHT TO THE HEAD OF BEAST -

MN: Cross is just BASHING DIS 2'S FACE AGAINST THE WALL - DIS 2 GETS AHOLD OF A MOP AND JABS CROSS IN THE GUT THEN CLUBS HIM IN THE CHEST WITH IT -

DT: Dis throws the chair into the ring! Rolling Beast in after it -

DM: Dis 2 is just WAILING ON CROSS WITH THAT MOP STICK! Cross twitching with every blow as Dis 2 just GOES TO TOWN! Drops the mop and starts KICKING THE HELL out of him -

MN: Too much at once! Too much!

DM: CROSS GRABS DIS 2 BY THE LEG AND PULLS HIM DOWN AND STARTS PUNCHING THE HELL OUT OF HIM -

DT: Dis has got the CHAIR again... Dammit, the referee needs to STOP this! DIS SWINGS - BEAST PUNCHES THE CHAIR RIGHT INTO DIS' FACE! DIS GOES DOWN! Beast looking at the chair... THE CROWD WANTS HIM TO TAKE IT... BEAST PICKS UP THE CHAIR!

MN: HIT HIM, LOAFY!

DM: MY GOD WHAT AN UPSET!!! DIS JUST STOLE THIS MATCH RIGHT OUT OF THE BLUE!

DT: AND LOOK AT THE SHOCK ON BEAST'S FACE!

(Cut to a shot of Beast sitting up. His eyes are as wide as saucepans and his mouth hangs open, disbelief etched across his face as he stares blankly into the empty space before him.)

DT: Beast can't believe it! He's completely in shock!

MN: HAH! Loafy's beside himself! He can't believe he just lost the title!

(**CRACK**)

MN: What was THAT?!

(Cut to the brawl in the crowd.)

DT: Looks like Cross just LEVELED Dis 2 with a CHAIR! Grabs the second Dis - WHEELS him face-first into a wall! Now hammering at the back of the head of Dis! Bashes his head into a service room door! Bashes it again! Pushes the door open and SLAMS Dis 2 into a service shelf - WAIT A MINUTE DIS 2'S MASK GOT CAUGHT ON THE EDGE OF THE SHELF AND GOT PULLED BAC -

DM: GET A CAMERA ON HIM GET A CAMERA ON HIM!!!

MN: WHO IS IT?!?!

DT: CROSS IS JUST STARING AT DIS 2 LIKE HE'S SEEN A GHOST - DIS 2 PULLS THE MASK DOWN AND PUSHES CROSS BACK INTO THE DOOR AND RUNS AWAY THROUGH THE CROWD BEFORE CROSS CAN REACT! Cross shakes himself off and runs after him!

DM: Who WAS that masked man?!

MN: ...Forget that! Who's the REAL Dis?!

(Cut back to the ring. Beast sits in the corner of the ring, still staring emptily at Dis. The masked man moves slowly to the center of the ring, carefully winding the belt around his waist and latching it.)

DT: Could this finally be it?! Could we finally find out who hides behind the mask?!

MN: TROY WINDHAM TROY WINDHAM!

DM: Hornet!

MN: Christian Sands!

DM: Zero!

DT: Dis reaching down now... undoing something on his shoes... Steps forward... He just LEFT THE BOTTOM OF HIS SHOES BEHIND! Lifts! Lifts in Dis's shoes!

MN: Wow, he's actually a couple inches shorter... maybe around six two, six three...

DM: Tall enough for Sands... Too short for Zero... Just right for HORNET OR WINDHAM...

DT: Dis UNBUTTONING HIS SHIRT NOW... Slides it aside... There's... there's a wraparound CHEST PROTECTOR under there... slides THAT off now...

DM: Light guy... Windham... Melton?

MN: He's really, really slim... kind of lean and sleek, really...

DM: Beast's expression just turned to STONE...

DT: Dis reaching back now... UNLACING THE MASK... Tips his head forward... AND OUT FALLS A NEST OF LONG CURLY HAIR...

DM: OH JESUS CHRIST IT CAN'T BE...

MN: NO WAY... NO WAY...

DT: DIS FINALLY DROPS THE MASK AND LIFTS HIS HEAD AND OH MY F(BOMB)ING GOD IT'S LINDSAY TROY!!! JESUS CHRIST ON A GODDAMN POGO STICK LINDSAY TROY WAS DIS ALL ALONG AND NOW SHE'S THE NEW HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD!!!

MN: NO!!! NO F(BOMB)ING WAY!!!

DM: OH MY GOD!!! OH MY GOD!!! LINDSAY GODDAMN TROY!!!

DT: I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS TURN OF EVENTS, AND FROM A LOOK AT HIS FACE BEAST CAN'T BELIEVE IT EITHER BECAUSE HE JUST TURNED AS WHITE AS A GHOST AND HIS EYES ARE ABOUT READY TO BUG OUT OF HIS HEAD!!!

MN: HE LOOKS LIKE HE'S GONNA HAVE A HEART ATTACK!!!

DM: I... I just... MY GOD! I would never have guessed! LINDSAY TROY!

MN: I was SURE it was Troy Windham!

DT: In all my years I've never been as shocked as I am right now! I didn't see this coming in a million years -

(CUE UP: "Zero" - Smashing Pumpkins)

DT: - And hold onto your horses 'cause HERE COMES DAN RYAN!!!

(Cut to the ramp, where Dan Ryan walks slowly out through the curtain, Boogie Smallz standing alongside him. Ryan stares down at the ring, crossing his arms across his chest... then slowly shakes his head, tsk-tsking in disappointment. Cut to Beast's face as he stares in shock at Ryan. His expression slowly begins to shift, slithering bit by bit from shocked to furious, his brows dropping into a V and his jaw tightening painfully. Finally, cut to Lindsay Troy standing against the ropes, hands crossed over the World Title as she smirks across the intervening distance between herself and Dan Ryan. A moment later, Ryan turns and departs, leaving us with a final shot of Troy smirking.)
