May 24th Overdrive It's another packed house as we get set for another electrifying edition of Overdrive. We then hear "Evolution" by Korn as we see images of Frank Merritt, Max Cameron, Eli Ryder, Kannon, Tommy Purr, Hoshi Yakamoto, Vesuvius, 6Pac Dudley and Jack Spade before we head to ringside where Frank Merritt is once again sitting with the stand bys of Henry Lesher and Ricky Simms. Orlock vs. Jack Spade "All Hallow's Eve" by Type O Negative plays as Orlock is led onto the stage by Vesuvius. The crowd boos as the emotionless monster strides down the ramp towards the ring, his head held low while Vesuvius guides him. Vesuvius then takes his place at ringside while Orlock pulls himself onto the apron and then steps over the top rope into the ring. His music then fades and the crowd cheers as we hear "King of the Stereo" by Saliva and CWA champion Jack Spade gets a loud ovation as he makes his way onto the stage. He then runs down the ramp towards the ring, tosses his belt to the time keeper and then rolls himself under the bottom rope into the ring where Orlock greets him with kicks to the back while referee Mark Davis calls for the bell to get the action officially started. Ricky Simms - Rude welcome given to the champ here by Orlock. Frank Merritt - Hey, even a man as slow as Orlock knows an opening when he sees it. Orlock stands Jack Spade up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a clothesline to the mat. Orlock then looks to Vesuvius who is seen applauding at ringside before he turns his attention back to his opponent. He stands Jack up, grabs him around the throat and goes for a choke slam, but Jack fights back with a series of elbows to the back of Orlock's neck and then gives him an eye gouge which finally frees him before he places Orlock in a headlock and then gives him a DDT to the mat before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Orlock. Spade then goes to the corner buckle and climbs to the second rope. He then lands a double axe handle smash across the back on Orlock and then rolls him into a small package for another pin attempt. 1...2... kick out again by Orlock. Ricky Simms - Jack wants the quick win tonight. Frank Merritt - Hey, Jack knows he has to fight twice tonight. He has to finish this quick if he can. Henry Lesher - Frank, you're so smart. Jack stands Orlock up, whips him into the corner buckle and then goes for a shoulder block, but takes a raised knee to the jaw from Orlock instead. Orlock then gives Jack a spear to the mat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Jack Spade. Orlock looks towards Vesuvius again and then stands Jack up, whips him off the ropes and gives him a back drop. Jack manages to land on his feet and gives Orlock a dropkick to the back that sends him through the ropes and out to the floor, crashing on top of Vesuvius. Ricky Simms - Classic malfunction at the junction. Frank Merritt - Nice bubble gum commentating there, Simms. Henry Lesher - You noticed that, too? Jack Spade drops and rolls out to the floor where Orlock looks stunned by the fact he has fallen onto his mentor. Orlock helps Vesuvius up, then turns and takes a super kick to the chest from Jack Spade who then whips Orlock shoulder first into the ring steps. Spade then rolls Orlock into the ring and then rolls himself into the ring as well. Spade lands a leg drop across the throat on Orlock and then leaps to the top rope in the corner. The fans cheer as he lands the Jack of all Spades on Orlock and then hooks the leg for the pin. 1...2...3! Jack Spade has won his first match of the night. Ricky Simms - Jack took advantage of the distraction to Orlock there. Frank Merritt - Orlock is really an idiot. So you land on someone. Big deal? I land on people all the time, like I give a damn. If those kids had really wanted ice cream, they would have fought harder for it. It's not my fault I tipped the truck onto them. Stupid kids. Ricky Simms - What the hell are you talking about? Frank Merritt - Shut up, Rick. Let the jury decide. Henry Lesher - Tell him to shut up again. I love this job. While the CWA champ heads up the ramp with the title belt raised high above his head, we look backstage where Shannon Skanes is with Ray Dees. Shannon Skanes - Next week, Tommy Purr will be the man in charge. Next week, he will also get a shot at Jack Spade for the CWA title. Ray Dees - Isn't that a conflict of interest? Shannon Skanes - Hey, if another company can make a man in charge the frickin' king, I am not worried. Ray Dees - But don't you worry about how others will view this turn of events? Shannon Skanes - Not in the slightest. I stopped giving a damn a long time ago. Ray Dees - That seems like a pretty lousy way to put it. Shannon Skanes - Ray, I have more things to worry about than what anyone else wants. Shannon storms off and Ray shrugs as we then return to the ring for further action. Steve Hawkins vs. Thibor Dragosani "Cowboy" by Kid Rock plays as Steve Hawkins makes his way onto the stage. He is led by Jen Hawkins, who is wearing a Glamour Girls T-shirt and Steve has words with her about that as they make their way down the ramp. He then shakes his head as he removes his cowboy hat, hands it to her and then rolls himself under the bottom rope into the ring. Jen places the cowboy hat on her head and winks toward the camera while his music fades. We then hear "Superpredator" by Massive Attack as we await the arrival of Thibor. Instead, Zek makes her way onto the stage area and she bows for the camera while Hawkins looks confused inside the ring. He turns and asks Jen if she knows where Thibor is when we see a man in the front row jump to his feet, leap the barrier and then roll himself into the ring where he chop blocks Steve Hawkins down while referee Steve Blake calls for the bell to start the match. Ricky Simms - Thibor was in the front row? Frank Merritt - Nothing gets past you, does it? Thibor two hand chokes Hawkins and then slams his head into the mat a few times before standing him up and whipping him off the ropes. Hawkins ducks a clothesline and then gives Thibor a reverse neck breaker to the mat and goes for the quick pin. 1...2... kick out by Thibor. Hawkins then chokes Thibor on the mat for a few seconds while the referee threatens to disqualify him. Hawkins then releases the choke, stands Thibor up and whips him off the ropes before giving him a backdrop to the mat. Hawkins then lands a knee drop to the head on Thibor and then goes for a cross face chocken wing only to have Thibor grab the bottom rope before he can fully apply it. Thibor then slides out of the ring and signals that he needs a time out. Ricky Simms - Thibor wants a timeout here, something that doesn't exist in wrestling. Frank Merritt - Wouldn't that make him an innovator? Henry Lesher - I would certainly think so. Steve Hawkins rolls himself out to the floor after Thibor and grabs him by the shoulder, turns him around and takes a thumb to the eye from Thibor who then smashes Steve's head into the guard railing before picking him up and slamming him to the floor. Thibor then stomps on Hawkins before rolling himself into the ring to break up the count before rolling himself back out to the floor. Thibor stands Hawkins up and whips him shoulder first into the steel corner post before giving him a clothesline to the floor. Ricky Simms - Hawkins is in a lot of trouble here. Frank Merritt - I would never have known that. Thibor stands over Hawkins and then stands him up and whips him over the guard railing and into the front row. Thibor then reaches under the ring and pulls out a kendo stick. Hawkins gets to his feet as Thibor takes a swing with the stick. Hawkins ducks it, picks up a chair and drills Thibor in the gut with it as the referee calls for the bell, declaring it a double disqualification. Thibor then drills Steve over the top of the head with the kendo stick. Hawkins falls backward as Thibor smiles and then embraces Zek. He raises his hands in victory as he makes his way up the ramp while Jen attends to her husband. Ricky Simms - I don't think these two have seen the last of each other. Frank Merritt - Hawkins is probably having a near death experience right now. Henry Lesher - Go into the light, Steve. Go into the light. Backstage we see Jack Spade toweling sweat off his face while Tommy Purr steps into the picture. Jack Spade - I guess we meet again next week. Tommy Purr - That belt you have is mine. Jack Spade - That's funny. I am pretty sure I have beaten you more than once. I believe the belt is rightfully mine. Tommy Purr - Next week, I put it back around my waist where it belongs. Jack Spade - Look, Tommy, I am going to win two matches tonight. I am then going to beat you next week. They will have to pry this title from my cold dead hands. Tommy Purr - We've heard this all before. Just bring the belt next week. I hope you haven't grown too attached to my property. Tommy smirsk as he leaves and Jack shakes his head while we return to the ring. 6Pac Dudley vs. Kannon "Voices" by Disturbed plays as Kannon makes his way onto the stage area. He looks around at the crowd as they boo him, and then he makes his way down the ramp towards the ring. Kannon then makes his way up the ring steps onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring while his music fades and then we hear "Southtown" by POD and 6Pac Dudley makes his way onto the stage. He gets a loud ovation from the crowd as he then quickly makes his way down the ramp before jumping onto the apron. 6Pac then leaves his title belt in the corner as he steps through the ropes into the ring. Referee Francis Clarke calls for the bell and the two men circle each other before locking up. Kannon then shoves 6Pac into the corner buckle and then gives him a fireman's carry into a side slam to the mat where he goes for the quick pin. 1...2... kick out by 6Pac. Ricky Simms - Earlier tonight, we saw Jack Spade fighting a monster and now it's 6Pac who is doing the same. Frank Merritt - Monster? No, I am a monster. See, Max Cameron was supposed to be in this match. He isn't because he knew I would be here. He is terrified of me. I AM the monster of the CWA. Get your facts straight before I have to straighten you out. Kannon stands 6Pac up, whips him into the corner buckle and then gives him a series of knife edge chops to the chest. Kannon then gives him a hip toss to the middle of the ring and then a kick to the head that sends 6Pac falling right out of the ring to the floor. 6Pac writhes in pain as Kannon then exits the ring and heads to the floor in front of the announce table. Kannon then stands 6Pac up and slams his head into the announce table before giving him a head butt and then a knee to the gut before giving him a gut wrench suplex onto the table which does not break. Kannon then rolls himself back into the ring. Ricky Simms - Well, we have quite the view of the action right now, 6Pac taking the brunt of the punishment. Frank Merritt - He is nothing, Rick. Believe me. I know. Merritt then takes a swing at 6Pac and hits him between the eyes. 6Pac rolls off the table to the floor and Frank smiles. Ricky Simms - You can't do that! Frank Merritt - He started it. He made a remark about my mother. Ricky Simms - No he didn't! Henry Lesher - Hit Rick, too, Frank. 6Pac gets to his feet on the floor and turns towards Frank and has a few words for him. Behind him, Kannon steps out of the ring onto the apron. He then gives 6Pac a clothesline to the back of the neck from there. Kannon then has a few words for Frank and Merritt is again on his feet, threatening to get involved. Kannon turns his attention back to 6Pac and takes a jawbreaker from Dudley who then rolls himself under the bottom rope back into the ring. Merritt sits back down as Kannon staggers to the ropes and pulls himself onto the apron where 6Pac greets him with a series of kicks to the ribs before pulling him through the ropes into the ring. 6Pac headlocks Kannon and goes for a bulldog on him, but Kannon turns it into an atomic drop. Ricky Simms - Sheer power there by Kannon. Henry Lesher - Notice how he ran from Frank. Kannon then places 6Pac in a headlock and then gives him a bulldog to the mat. Kannon then goes for the pin on 6Pac. 1...2... 6Pac gets a foot on the rope. Kannon then stands 6Pac up, whips him off the ropes and misses with a clothesline when 6Pac ducks it and then he gives Kannon a chop block which brings him down to one knee. 6Pac then places Kannon in a sleeper hold. Kannon lunges forward and manages to snag the top and middle rope to force the break of the hold. 6Pac reluctantly lets go and then takes a kick to the knee from Kannon who then pulls the feet out from under 6Pac and goes for a figure four leg lock. 6Pac kicks him in the chest, sending him to the corner and then 6Pac kips up to his feet and lands a series of punches to the jaw on Kannon while the crowd cheers. Ricky Simms - Nice comeback by 6Pac here. Frank Merritt - Hey, the real monster isn't in the ring right now. Henry Lesher - Damn straight! 6Pac then gives Kannon a dropkick that sends him falling through the ropes and out to the floor. 6Pac then climbs the ropes in the corner, waits for Kannon to get to his feet and then gives him a missile dropkick to the chest. Kannon falls backward and right over the guard railing into the crowd while 6Pac rolls himself into the ring. Kannon struggles to get back to his feet and climbs over the guard railing, clearly enraged with being made to look the fool by 6Pac. As he pulls himself onto the ring apron, the referee calls for the bell and it is announced that Kannon has been counted out. Kannon is furious as 6Pac rolls himself out of the ring and takes off for the back. Ricky Simms - The referee counts Kannon out, though he is disputing it. Frank Merritt - If he hadn't eaten that extra side of beef before the show, he might have been quick enough to make it. I'm sure there's a steakhouse around here he can drown his sorrows in with barbecue sauce. Henry Lesher - 6Pac again proves he is a weasel. Ricky Simms - 6Pac had to survive this match as he has a huge match coming up with Spade in tonight's main event. Backstage we see Shannon Skanes in his office when Hector Braun barges in. Shannon Skanes - No need to knock there, Hec. Hector Braun - Look, I will make this quick. Next week, I want a match with you. Shannon Skanes - What? Why? Hector Braun - Falls count anywhere. Shannon Skanes - You're not a wrestler. Hector Braun - Here's the contract. Hector tosses the contract onto Shannon's desk and then leaves. Shannon looks at the contract and seems baffled by this exchange. What could cause Hector to behave like this? What does he have to gain by doing this? Eli Ryder vs. Daniel McCoy "Pollution" by Limp Bizkit plays as Daniel McCoy comes out onto the stage, already brawling with Eli Ryder. The two exchange knife edge chops on the stage. McCoy then eye gouges Ryder and then gives him a series of elbows to the chin. Eli answers with a knee to the gut on McCoy and then gives him a body slam to the stage. Ryder then drags McCoy by one foot down the ramp. McCoy struggles to his one foot and hops the remainder of the way to ringside and then gives Ryder a spin kick to the back of the head to break his hold. McCoy then quickly gets to his feet and lands a leg drop across the back of the neck on Ryder. McCoy then stands Ryder up and rolls him into the ring before rolling himself into the ring where referee Mark Davis then calls for the bell. Ricky Simms - This doesn't look like it will be a very technical match up. Frank Merritt - What does that mean? We are fighters. Who gives a damn how well we dance? It's who dances the longest and loudest. Henry Lesher - I have been trying to tell him that for years. McCoy chokes Ryder with the bottom rope while the referee warns him that this match is about to get thrown out. McCoy then releases the choke, stands Ryder up and whips him off the ropes before giving him a dropkick that sends him down to the mat. Daniel McCoy then goes to the corner buckle and signals to the camera that this match is going to be over fast. He poses on the top rope and then leaps off, missing with a frog splash as Eli rolls out of the way, causing McCoy to wind himself. Eli then quickly gets to his feet and places Daniel McCoy in a full Nelson while the crowd cheers. Ricky Simms - The momentum shift was fast there. Henry Lesher - You really miss nothing, Rick. Frank Merritt - Go get me a hot dog. Ricky Simms - I don't think so. Frank Merritt - I SAID, go get me a hot dog. I didn't add a question mark to that statement, Rick. Ricky leaves his broadcast position and heads into the crowd while Lesher smiles from ear to ear. Inside the ring, McCoy fights against the full Nelson and refuses to submit when asked by the referee. McCoy leans forward and then drop to his knees in an effort to free himself from Eli's hold. He then tries to power his way out of it which has moderate success, but it's clear he is tiring himself out trying to break free. McCoy then stretches out his right foot and hooks the bottom rope to force the break. Eli lets him go, but he then gives McCoy a belly to back suplex to the mat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by McCoy. Frank Merritt - This is where Rick would tell you that was close. I know people have eyes. Henry Lesher - I have patterned my life after your teachings.
Eli stands McCoy up, whips him off the ropes and McCoy ducks a
clothesline and goes for one of his own, but Eli catches him off
guard with a knee to the gut and then a swinging neck breaker to the
mat. Eli then rolls McCoy face down to the mat and then applies the
Legacy Lock. McCoy struggles against it for a few moments, but then
taps out as the pain becomes too much for him to bear. Eli then
releases McCoy and has his hand raised by the referee. Eli is
standing in the middle of the ring catching his breath from his
match. Mr. Rivers slides in the ring behind him with a steel chair
but Eli turns around and clothslines Rivers before he can get good
foot balance after standing up. Daniel McCoy tries to jump Eli but
Eli spins around to catch Daniel in the act. Daniel and Eli start
trading lefts and rights before Eli gets a distinctive upper hand
and knocks Daniel down. Eli turns around only to be blasted in the
head with a brutal chair shot from Mr. Rivers. Mr. Rivers starts
hitting Eli while he is down with the chair. Myst - It's an official contract. Shannon Skanes - But why? Myst - Well, it's Hector, so you can't trust him. Shannon Skanes - He's been strange since his daughter joined Anarchy Inc. Myst - That would make me strange, too. Just the thought of our daughter anywhere near that bastard. Maybe he blames you for that. Shannon Skanes - Maybe, but he's more of a lawsuit person than a fighter. Myst - I'm not the person to ask about this contract anyways. Shannon Skanes - Who would be? Myst - Tony Parizi. Shannon Skanes - I have no clue where he is. Myst - I do. I'll call him. Shannon Skanes - How the hell do you know where Parizi is? Myst - I stay in touch with Wyatt Gibson. He's working for Tony. Shannon Skanes - It's like you're leading a double life. Myst - You have no idea. She takes the contract and leaves Shannon's office while we head back to the ring. Tommy Purr vs. Dex Cooper "Just Another Victim" by Cypress Hill plays as Dex Cooper is led onto the stage by Rex Cooper. Rex then marches his way down the ramp ahead of Dex and the crowd cheers them on. Dex then makes his way up the ring steps onto the apron while Rex looks towards Frank Merritt and points to his waist. Frank Merritt - Either Rex wants the tag titles back, or he doesn't want me to make fun of his tiny manhood. Dex paces inside the ring while his music fades and we hear "Crazy Bitch" by Buckcherry and Tommy Purr makes his way out to a loud ovation of his own, led by Mrs. Robinson. Tommy then makes his way down the ramp and has words with Rex at ringside before he pulls himself onto the apron and then steps through the ropes into the ring. He and Dex then have a few words while referee Steve Blake calls for the bell to get the match started. We then see Ricky Simms returning to his seat. Ricky Simms - Here Frank... *handing him the hot dog* Frank Merritt - *swatting it away* Not hungry. Piss off. Frank takes off the headset and heads after Rex Cooper while Dex and Tommy lock up in the middle of the ring. Dex and Tommy fight for control inside the ring while Rex and Frank get into a shoving match on the floor. Inside the ring, Dex backs Tommy into the ropes where the referee asks for a clean break. Dex steps back and knees Tommy in the gut before raking his eyes on the top rope. Dex then whips Tommy off the ropes and gives him a knee to the gut that sends him somersaulting through the air. Tommy lands on his tailbone and then Dex picks him up and power slams him to the mat before going for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Tommy Purr. Ricky Simms - Why would Frank send me to get a hot dog and then swat it away? Henry Lesher - Because he is all man, Rick. Dex stands Tommy up, whips him into the corner buckle and then goes for a shoulder block, but Tommy side steps it and then picks Dex up for a scoop slam to the mat before Tommy climbs the ropes in the corner. He leaps from the second rope and lands an elbow to the spine of Dex before applying an abdominal stretch on Dex Cooper. On the floor, Frank turns away from Rex and then turns back around and they start trading rights and lefts. Inside the ring, Dex starts to power his way out of the hold. Tommy releases it when he senses that it isn't wearing Dex down and then shoves him into the corner buckle shoulder first again. Tommy then gives Dex a face buster to the mat and then goes for the pin. 1...2... kick out by Dex. Tommy then stands Dex up, whips him off the ropes and then gives him a dropkick that sends Dex back down to the mat. On the floor, Rex and Frank exchange forearm smashes to the jaw. Frank slams Rex's head into the guard railing and then Rex gives Frank a hip toss right over the guard railing and into the aisle between rows of fans. Ricky Simms - Things are getting dangerous out here. Henry Lesher - Things are getting awesome out here, you mean. Inside the ring, Tommy stands Dex up, whips him off the ropes and Dex ducks a clothesline and then gives Tommy a vicious clothesline to the mat before he goes for the pin. 1...2... reversal by Tommy who puts his feet on the ropes. 1...2..3! Tommy gets the win and the quickly rolls himself out to the floor. He grabs a chair at ringside and then attacks Rex Cooper with it, while his back is turned. Tommy clocks Rex to the back of the neck with the chair and then drops the chair on the floor, places Rex in a headlock and signals that he will DDT him onto it. He is caught from behind with a clothesline from Dex Cooper that sends him face first to the floor. He is then caught off guard by a clothesline from a recovered Frank Merritt who then steps back over the guard railing and starts putting the boots to Dex while security rushes out to clear things up. Ricky Simms - I don't think Frank will be back tonight. Henry Lesher - Yeah, that's because you suck. He knows you suck. He said it when you left to get him food. Ricky Simms - Oh, grow up Doc. We then look backstage where Myst is seen heading into a dark corner of the building, under a stairwell. She hands the contract to a dark figure who turns to face us and we see that it's Tony Parizi. Tony Parizi - He doesn't know I am here right? Myst - No clue. Tony Parizi - Good girl. Okay, we'll tell Shannon to take the match and I will spend the week finding out what that fuck Hector is up to. Wyatt will do some leg work. Sal will keep his ear to the ground, too. Myst - Sal? Tony Parizi - Yeah, Clemenzo, do I stutter? Myst - I just didn't know that... Tony Parizi - And it's better that you don't. Trust me. I will be in touch. Parizi leaves through the nearest exit and Myst looks around to be certain no one saw her. Jack Spade vs. 6Pac Dudley "King of the
Stereo" By Saliva plays as Jack Spade runs out onto the ramp holding
the CWA World Heavyweight Championship in the air. The crowd goes
ballistic once again for their champion as Jack makes his way down
the ramp high
fiving the crowd. 6pac runs in behind Spade and hits him in the back
with his barb wired hockey stick. Jack goes tumbling down the rest
of the ramp as blood starts to trickle from his back from where 6pac
hit him. 6pac lifts Jack's head up and starts choking him out with
the stick as the ref continues to tell at 6pac to let him in so he
can officially start the action. 6pac ignores the ref's request and
whips Jack towards the ring steps, Jack bangs his knee on the steps
and flips straight over the steps. 6pac is in hot pursuit and lifts
Jack back up, Only to drop him back down with a hard whack to the
skull with that barb wired hockey stick. Blood starts to pour from
Jack's head as 6pac yells at Jack, Telling that this was actually
what he said he was going to do. Ricky Simms - Well, that makes for quite the ending to the show! Henry Lesher - I miss you Frank, wherever you are. Ricky Simms - God, give it a rest already! The camera then fades to black on a final shot of MSK standing united inside the ring. |
