(CUTTO: Carl Jacobs. He stands there, looking up at the cage, and then up at the curtain. He raises the microphone to his mouth and starts to speak.)
JACOBS: “The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL … and is a special STEEL CAGE BRAWL for the New ERA of Wrestling WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!”
(SFX: Crowd explodes.)
JACOBS: “Introducing first ….”
(CUEUP: Classy music. The arena lights turn down as a walking cane parts the curtains. The fans immediately begin to jeer as ANTAEUS steps through the curtains, wearing a white and black suit, and a white top hat. His mask covers his expression as he walks down to the cage door.)
JIVE: “And the fans LOVE ANTAEUS, Tom!”
JACOBS: “He stands six foot two and weighs in at 220 pounds ….. hailing from parts unknown …… ANTAENUS!”
GHEORGHE: “ANTAEUS walking with a purpose … and that is to humiliate Jean Rabesque and take his World championship.”
JIVE: “Something that no one else has been able to do so far…”
JACOBS: “Introducing next …”
(The fans get on their feet … but jeer again when “You Could Be Mine” by Guns n’ Roses cues up. Chaos jogs through the curtain and down the rampway.)
JACOBS: “Hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada …. Standing SEVEN FEET TALL … and weighing in at 305 pounds … he is a FORMER New ERA Television champion …….. CHAOS!”
GHEORGHE: “Chaos is looking incredibly pumped here tonight .. he knows that all those near chances at taking the championship from Rabesque could be justified here tonight … AND he can make ANTAEUS pay for ruining his shot at RAUCOUS.”
JIVE: “If there was one man who I would think would take the championship from Rabesque, it is DEFINITELY Chaos.”
GHEORGHE: “What about ANTAEUS?”
JIVE: “I’ve heard rumors about who ANTAEUS is under that mask .. and let me tell you, if they turn out to be true …. This place could be in for a rude awakening.”
GHEORGHE: “Who have you heard?!?”
JACOBS: “And introducing last ….”
(CUEUP: ‘Shapes of Things’ by the Jeff Healey Band as the crowd goes INSANE!)
JACOBS: “He stands six foot one and weighs 245 pounds ………. He hails from MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA …… he is a former New ERA Television champion ……. AND IS THE CURRENT NEW ERA OF WRESTLING WOOOOOOORLLLLLLLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION ……. JEAN RABESQUE!”
(The crowd explodes again as Jean Rabesque comes through the curtains, with the championship held in the air. He takes his time walking down the rampway, with the championship now hung on his shoulders, and his gaze burning straight through the cage and into both Chaos and ANTAEUS.)
GHEORGHE: “I don’t think I have EVER seen Jean Rabesque more intense than at this moment right now.”
JIVE: “The New ERA World championship is all he has to live for right now, Tom .. this IS his career at the moment.”
GHEORGHE: “Carl Jacobs quickly rolling out of the ring as Rabesque passes through the door … and Jacobs now out the door as the officials shut it … and they are locking it with not one, not two … but FOUR deadlock bolts. They do not want anyone getting into that ring.”
JIVE: “And look at the people in the ring … the referee has taken the championship from Jean Rabesque and is now placing it in a glass showing case which is on the outside of the ring ……. AND AS SOON AS HE LEAVES THE RING CHAOS CHARGES AT THE WORLD CHAMPION!”
(SFX: Bell rings!)
GHEORGHE: “THIS STEEL CAGE BRAWL HAS STARTED!”
JIVE: “CHAOS IS INSANE!”
GHEORGHE: “Chaos has tackled Jean Rabesque to the mat and is now driving fists into his face … and the referee has finally gotten back into the ring.”
JIVE: “Anything goes in this match .. the only reason the referee is in the ring is to count pinfalls.”
GHEORGHE: “Chaos really drilling Rabesque in the head … and ANTAEUS is now slowly coming up from behind him.”
JIVE: “ANTAEUS isn’t stupid, Tom .. he’s going to let Chaos work Rabesque unconscious .. then attack.”
GHEORGHE: “ANTAEUS now walking behind Chaos …. And Chaos looks up and around … BUT ANTAEUS GETS IN A WELL PLACED RUNNING BOOT! Chaos is on the mat … and ANTAEUS is down after him and he has him in a face bar … trying to choke the air out of his lungs …”
JIVE: “See, I told you .. ANTAEUS was going to wait for the opportune time.”
GHEORGHE: “ANTAEUS dropping the arm to below the chin and now he’s applying pressure against the throat of Chaos … the World Champion sitting up now and he looks around .. and he sees ANTAEUS choking Chaos! Rabesque walks behind ANTAEUS …….. AND NOW HE HAS HIM IN A CHOKEHOLD!! ANTAEUS isn’t releasing Chaos …. And he’s being choked by Rabesque!”
JIVE: “This isn’t a good idea! If ANTAEUS causes Chaos to go out, and Rabesque causes ANTAEUS to go out … then Rabesque would retain the championship! That’s not supposed to happen!”
GHEORGHE: “Finally ANTAEUS releases the hold on Chaos and Chaos quickly rolls to the ropes! Jean Rabesque leans forward to apply more pressure .. AND ANTAEUS GRABS HIM BY THE HAIR AND FLIPS HIM OVER!!! ANTAEUS NOW WITH A SLEEPER ON RABESQUE ON THE MAT!”
JIVE: “ANTAEUS is an incredible technical wrestler … he knew that Rabesque was going to lean forward to apply pressure, so he caught him at the perfect time!”
GHEORGHE: “AND HERE COMES CHAOS! Chaos grabs ahold of ANTAEUS’ head and drives it backwards into the mat … and Chaos drops the knee right in the mask of ANTAEUS!”
JIVE: “Although, I wouldn’t have pissed off Chaos … he’s likely to toss you right out of the ring and THROUGH the cage!”
GHEORGHE: “Chaos picks ANTAEUS off from the mat … and connects with a big elbow to the mask that doubles over ANTAEUS …. Chaos picks up ANTAEUS ….. AND TAKES HIM DOWN WITH A SPINNING SIDE WALK SLAM!”
JIVE: “If I were ANTAEUS and Jean Rabesque, I would work on getting Chaos incapacitated … that way he would play less a role in the match.”
GHEORGHE: “But don’t you want Chaos to demolish Jean Rabesque?”
JIVE: “Chaos is gunning after both men for different reasons … but I’d be happy with either him or ANTAEUS winning this thing. As long as its not Jean Rabesque!”
GHEORGHE: “Chaos up again and he stands over ANTAEUS ….. AND THE WORLD CHAMPION FROM BEHIND CLIPS HIS KNEE OUT FROM RIGHT UNDER HIM!”
JIVE: “Rabesque should stop ease dropping on me!”
GHEORGHE: “Rabesque now grabs the leg of Chaos, the same leg he worked over on RAUCOUS a few weeks ago, and drives it knee first into the mat! Rabesque with the leg again … and again he drives it into the mat! Jean Rabesque grabs both of Chaos’ legs …. But Chaos with his strength kicks Rabesque away! Rabesque backs up holding his face .. AND HE COMES IN AND DROPS THE ELBOW ON THE STERNUM OF CHAOS! Rabesque now on top of Chaos … AND HE IS POUNDING AWAY!”
JIVE: “Trying to make up for the fact that Chaos pounded him a new face earlier.”
GHEORGHE: “Jean Rabesque up to his feet now … he grabs the arm of Chaos … and drops down … he puts his feet on Chaos’ torso … AND NOW HE IS PULLING AS HARD AS HE CAN!”
(Chaos lets out a loud groan as Jean Rabesque gets up.)
JIVE: “MY GOD I THINK HE JUST PULLED CHAOS’ ARM OUT OF THE SOCKET!”
GHEORGHE: “Rabesque to his feet …. BUT HE GETS GREETED BY A DROPKICK FROM ANTAEUS! ANTAEUS now with some knife edge chops …”
(SFX: Crowd “woooos!”)
GHEORGHE: “And I think you’re right, Nick! Chaos gets to his feet and his arm is dangling at his side! Chaos now grabs his shoulder ….. AND CHAOS POPS HIS ARM BACK INTO PLACE!”
JIVE: “And look at the look on his face!”
GHEORGHE: “Chaos beet red …. AND HE THROWS ANTAEUS OUT OF THE WAY ………… AND CHAOS PICKS UP JEAN RABESQUE BY THE THROAT ………… AND CHOKESLAMS HIM TO THE MAT! Chaos now turns around ….. AND HE GRABS ANTAEUS BY THE THROAT ……………….”
(SFX: CROWD POPS HUGE.)
GHEORGHE: “AND CHAOS JUST TOSSED ANTAEUS OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE ARENA FLOOR!”
JIVE: “Chaos is a man possessed!”
GHEORGHE: “CHAOS NOW PICKS UP JEAN RABESQUE …….. AND HE TOSSES HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE AND ON TOP OF ANTAEUS!!!”
JIVE: “Things are about to get a little messy, Tom!”
GHEORGHE: “Chaos steps over the top rope and hops to the arena floor …. Chaos with ANTAEUS ….. AND HE IRISH WHIPS HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE STEEL CAGE!!! ANTAEUS drops to the floor like a sack of potatoes. Chaos now picks up the World Champion …. He hoists him onto his shoulder …. AND CHARGES AT THE STEEL CAGE!”
JIVE: “He’s going to toss him into the cage, Tom!”
GHEORGHE: “WAIT! Rabesque slides down the back of Chaos …. AND PUSHES CHAOS FULL FORCE INTO THE CAGE!!! Chaos turns around ….. AND RABESQUE WITH A DROP TOE HOLD AS CHAOS GOES FACE FIRST INTO THE ARENA FLOOR!”
JIVE: “ANTAEUS is starting to get back to his feet … and Rabesque doesn’t see him!”
GHEORGHE: “ANTAEUS up … and he stalks Jean Rabesque …. ANTAEUS GRABS RABESQUE AROUND THE WAIST …… AND GERMAN SUPLEXES HIM ONTO THE ARENA FLOOR!!! ANTAEUS stands up and both of his competitors are down!”
JIVE: “But you can only pin someone in the ring!”
GHEORGHE: “ANTAEUS trying to pick Chaos up to his feet …. But he just drops him and goes after the World Champion instead … ANTAEUS picks up Jean Rabesque … AND NOW DRAGS HIS FACE ACROSS THE STEEL CAGE! ANTAEUS with an irish whip …. AND RABESQUE HITS THE CAGE AND FALLS TO THE ARENA FLOOR!”
JIVE: “Here comes ANTAEUS!”
GHEORGHE: “ANTAEUS CHARGING IN ……… AND CONNECTS WITH A KNEE DRIVE TO THE SKULL OF RABESQUE AGAINST THE CAGE!”
JIVE: “ANTAEUS showing some drive here … he’s your next World champion!”
GHEORGHE: “Not so fast, Nick … I think he’s forgetting about Chaos .. who is starting to get up…”
JIVE: “Oh shit! Chaos is on his feet … and he turns around … AND ANTAEUS IS STANDING THERE STARING AT HIM!”
GHEORGHE: “ANTAEUS shaking his head at Chaos as Chaos starts walking toward him … ANTAEUS putting his hands up trying to get him to stay…”
(SFX: Crowd groans.)
GHEORGHE: “AND THE WORLD CHAMPION JUST NAILED ANTAEUS IN THE NUTS!!! ANTAEUS is doubled over in pain ….. AND CHAOS GRABS HIM ……. AND POWERBOMBS HIM TO THE ARENA FLOOR!!! Chaos gets up …..”
(SFX: Crowd groans.)
GHEORGHE: “AND THE WORLD CHAMPION JUST NUTSHOTTED CHAOS AS WELL!”
JIVE: “Well, nobody said this was going to be a classic wrestling match.”
GHEORGHE: “Jean Rabesque now running away..”
JIVE: “He better run .. because once ANTAEUS and Chaos have feeling in their balls again, Rabesque’s boys are going to be hunted prey.”
GHEORGHE: “Rabesque over … AND HE GRABS A CHAIR! Rabesque now turns back to where ANTAEUS and Chaos are ……………… AND HE CHARGES AT CHAOS ………….. AND KNOCKS HIM INTO OBLIVION WITH A CHAIR SHOT TO THE HEAD!”
JIVE: “I think Chaos’ momma had a baby and its head popped off!”
GHEORGHE: “Chaos sprawled across the side of the cage …. AND RABESQUE WITH ANOTHER SHOT TO THE HEAD OF CHAOS! AND ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! The World Champion showing a mean streak…”
JIVE: “BUT ANTAEUS IS UP!”
GHEORGHE: “Rabesque raises the chair over his head …. AND ANTAEUS GRABS IT!! BUT RABESQUE TURNS AROUND AND DROPKICKS THE CHAIR INTO ANTAEUS’ FACE!!”
JIVE: “No goddammit! Why does he have to be so astute?”
GHEORGHE: “Rabesque now grabs ANTAEUS … and he rolls him back in the ring!”
JIVE: “Good! Now ANTAEUS can school him IN the ring instead of outside!”
GHEORGHE: “Jean Rabesque picks up ANTAEUS … he irish whips him into the corner, and ANTAEUS hits hard! Rabesque now charges in … and hits him in the back with a running knee lift that sends ANTAEUS flying into the turnbuckle! Rabesque grabs ANTAEUS by the head ….. and he PUTS HIM ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! Rabesque now heading up top as well …………… AND RABESQUE CONNECTS WITH A SUPERPLEX!!! Jean Rabesque heading back over to the ropes …. He goes to the second turnbuckle … AND NAILS AN ELBOW DROP!!!”
JIVE: “NOT ALREADY!”
GHEORGHE: “AND JEAN RABESQUE IS CALLING FOR THE FIGURE FOUR!”
JIVE: “But he’s got to pin him!”
GHEORGHE: “If ANTAEUS loses consciousness, there’s no stopping his shoulders from hitting the mat!”
JIVE: “No, goddammit! NO!”
GHEORGHE: “Rabesque has one leg of ANTAEUS ………”
(SFX: Crowd explodes!)
GHEORGHE: “AND JEAN RABESQUE HAS THE FIGURE FOUR LOCKED ON!”
JIVE: “FIGHT IT ANTAEUS, FIGHT IT!”
GHEORGHE: “ANTAEUS immediately shoots up and is yelling in agony! ANTAEUS flinging his arms around and he looks to be in an immense amount of pain!”
JIVE: “Come on ANTAEUS!!! You can hold through!! Turn it! Try to turn it!”
GHEORGHE: “ANTAEUS struggling mightily … and his shoulders go down! ONE …….. but he shoots back up!”
JIVE: “This can’t be happening! Where is Chaos?!”
GHEORGHE: “Chaos is … WAIT … WHERE IS CHAOS?!”
JIVE: “Chaos has disappeared!”
GHEORGHE: “ANTAEUS’ shoulders go down again …. ONE ……….. TWO ….. and he shoots back up!!”
JIVE: “THERE HE IS! OH SHIT!”
GHEORGHE: “Chaos emerges from underneath the ring …………. AND HE’s GOT A LADDER!!! CHAOS HAS A LADDER THAT WAS UNDER THE RING!!!”
JIVE: “You have got to be shitting me!”
GHEORGHE: “Chaos slides the ladder in the ring … and he slides in afterwards …. AND RABESQUE HAS NO CLUE WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!”
JIVE: “ANTAEUS’ shoulders go down again! I think he’s out!”
GHEORGHE: “ONE …………. TWO ………….. THRE—“
(SFX: Crowd jeers!)
GHEORGHE: “AND CHAOS JUST RAMMED THE LADDER INTO THE BACK OF THE WORLD CHAMPION’s head!!! Jean Rabesque immediately releases the figure four and rolls on to his stomach …. AND CHAOS RAMS THE LADDER INTO THE BACK OF JEAN RABESQUE!!! Rabesque now in the fetal position …… AND CHAOS AGAIN WITH ANOTHER SHOT WITH THE LADDER TO THE BACK!”
JIVE: “He’s trying to make sure that Rabesque doesn’t move …. EVER AGAIN!”
GHEORGHE: “Chaos now setting the ladder up in the corner ….. and he picks up Rabesque ……. CHAOS WITH RABESQUE ON HIS SHOULDER …. AND HE CHARGES INTO THE CORNER ………. AND TOSSES RABESQUE FACE FIRST INTO THE LADDER ……… AND RABESQUE GOES FLYING OVER THE LADDER AND FALLS ALL THE WAY TO THE ARENA FLOOR!”
JIVE: “No way Rabesque was going to slide down his back that time!”
GHEORGHE: “Chaos taking on look at ANTAEUS …. And now he decides to go out after Rabesque!”
JIVE: “Smart guy!!! If he won the championship now … he wouldn’t be able to hurt Rabesque even more!!!”
GHEORGHE: “Chaos picks up the ladder on the way over …. AND HE JUST TOSSED THE LADDER OF THE TOP ROPE AND ON TOP OF JEAN RABESQUE!”
JIVE: “Those ladders are heavy, Tom!”
GHEORGHE: “Chaos heads through the ropes as ANTAEUS finally starts to come to …. Chaos on the arena floor now with Jean Rabesque …. And now he picks up Rabesque …. AND HE IS SIGNALLING THAT HE’s GOING TO PILEDRIVE HIM ONTO THE LADDER!”
JIVE: “THAT WOULD BREAK HIS NECK!”
GHEORGHE: “Chaos puts Rabesque’s head between his legs ….. HE HAS HIM UP …….. BUT ANTAEUS HAS A HANDFUL OF HIS HAIR!!!”
JIVE: “ANTAEUS IS BACK!”
(SFX: Crowd gasps collectively!)
GHEORGHE: “OHHHH MY GOD! CHAOS JUST PILEDROVE JEAN RABESQUE ONTO THE STEEL LADDER!”
JIVE: “LOOK AT ANTAEUS!!! HE IS HOLDING A CHUNK OF CHAOS’ HAIR!!!!”
GHEORGHE: “ANTAEUS FREAKED OUT AND THROWS THE HAIR AT CHAOS!”
JIVE: “JEAN RABESQUE IS OUT COLD!!! Someone get him in the ring and pin him!”
GHEORGHE: “Chaos feeling his head now …. And he points at ANTAEUS!!!”
JIVE: “Chaos is getting in the ring and coming after ANTAEUS!”
GHEORGHE: “Chaos slides in the ring … AND ANTAEUS hops out the other side! Chaos coming across the ring … and ANTAEUS is desperately looking under the ring for someth…”
(SFX: CRACK!)
GHEORGHE: “AND ANTAEUS JUST CRACKED CHAOS IN THE HEAD AS HE WAS JUMPING FROM THE RING APRON WITH A SINGAPORE CANE!”
JIVE: “They must have left those from the women’s championship match!”
GHEORGHE: “AND CHAOS IS BUSTED OPEN!! He got cracked directly in the face … full force ..”
(SFX: CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!)
GHEORGHE: “AND ANTAEUS SHOWING NO MERCY AS HE LITERALLY BEATS CHAOS INTO A BLOODY PULP!”
JIVE: “He just broke the Singapore cane in half!”
GHEORGHE: “Chaos is on the arena floor holding his face as ANTAEUS goes back under the ring ….”
(SFX: Loud groan from the fans!)
JIVE: “AND ANTAEUS HAS THE DILDO!”
(SFX: Crowd pops HUGE!)
GHEORGHE: “And ANTAEUS just slid the dildo through the cage … and it lands on the lap of a fan in the front row!”
(CLOSEUP: Of the fan ... who holds the dildo up with an inquisitive look on his face..)
JIVE: “And now that FIVE year old has a souvenir from his very first New ERA pay per view!”
(CUTTO: Fan as the kid’s parents rip the dildo from his hand. The mother inconspicuously puts it in her pocketboot.)
JIVE: “It looks like it WILL get some action tonight afterall!”
GHEORGHE: “ANTAEUS back under the ring … AND HE PULLS OUT A RING HAMMER!!!”
JIVE: “The World Champion is getting back to his feet!”
GHEORGHE: “Jean Rabesque holding on to the apron on the other side as he gets up … AND ANTAEUS DRIVES THE HAMMER INTO THE CHEST OF CHAOS! AND NOW RABESQUE GRABS THE LADDER AND IS ON HIS WAY OVER TO CHAOS AND ANTAEUS!”
JIVE: “ANTAEUS just drove the hammer into Chaos’ chest again!! AND HE’s GOING BACK UNDER!”
GHEORGHE: “Rabesque turns the corner ….”
(SFX: Crowd jeers!)
GHEORGHE: “AND ANTAEUS JUST SPRAYED JEAN RABESQUE IN THE FACE WITH SOME OIL!!! That oil is used to lubricate the ring bolts!!! Jean Rabesque drops the ladder and is holding his eyes!”
JIVE: “He could blind Jean Rabesque!!! We might be free of Rabesque without the work of DREDD!”
GHEORGHE: “ANTAEUS walks up to Rabesque … he hooks the arms ……. AND HE DOUBLE ARM SUPLEXES HIM ONTO THE LADDER!!! Jean Rabesque’s body has been through HELL and back! ANTAEUS now rolls him into the ring ……. ANTAEUS in afterwards ……. ANTAEUS with the cover …………… ONE ……………… TWO ……………….. THREE!”
JIVE: “NO!!! Rabesque got his shoulder up at the very last second possible!!!”
GHEORGHE: “ANTAEUS now puts more weight on the shoulder’s of Rabesque ……. ONE ………………. TWO …………………… BUT RABESQUE GETS HIS FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE!”
JIVE: “CUT OFF HIS DAMN LEGS!”
GHEORGHE: “ANTAEUS back to his feet … and he drags Rabesque into the center of the ring ………. AND ANTAEUS HAS THE FIGURE FOUR LOCKED ON JEAN RABESQUE!”
JIVE: “I can think of no other way to send Rabesque packing than with his own signature move!”
GHEORGHE: “Jean Rabesque sits up in pain … and ANTAEUS taking a HUGE chance here, Nick …. Many people have tried to beat Rabesque with his own move … and every single one of them have failed!”
JIVE: “If you want to beat Rabesque, do it the Shane Southern way …. Catch him off guard with a small package!”
GHEORGHE: “Rabesque fighting as hard as he can … but he’s fading and he’s fading FAST!”
JIVE: “ANTAEUS needs to finish Rabesque off before Chaos comes to … ANTAEUS is probably first on his target list now!”
GHEORGHE: “Rabesque’s shoulders go down ……… ONE ………….. TWO ………… THREE!!!”
