(FADEIN: The back entrance area where a limo is slowly pulling up to the doors. The license plate says “NEW – ERA” and the windows are tinted.)
JIVE: “Oh! Look! I think that’s Killer’s mystery partner!”
GHEORGHE: “I think you’re right, Nick! Wait! The door is opening!!!”
JIVE: “Finally we get to find out who it is!”
(A pair of women’s legs slowly make their way from the car to the ground.)
JIVE: “WOWZA!”
(Juliet Marceau gets out of the car. She sees the camera and immediately shuts the door.)
MARCEAU: “You! Out! We can’t have you ruining everything! C’mon …. Move!”
JIVE: “Aw! We want to know who it is!”
GHEORGHE: “It looks like we won’t be seeing who the mystery man is right now …..”
(As Marceau is trying to shoo the camera man away the limo door pops open. She jumps around in shock ….. but Marcus LaRoque comes out, holding his head.)
LaROQUE: “Juliet! What the hell was that slamming the door like that! I could have a concussion!”
MARCEAU: “I didn’t know if you or the …. Mystery Man was coming out … so I didn’t want to have this guy blow it.”
LaROQUE: “Next time, warn me! Now. Sorry, you’re going to have to give me this …”
(LaRoque reaches for the camera .. the shot shows the camera fumbling around before it finally goes black. CUTTO: Ringside.)
JIVE: “We were THAT close to finding out who was going to be Suicidal Killer’s mystery man, Tom!!”
GHEORGHE: “It seems like Marceau and LaRoque are going to extreme ends to keep this guy hidden. Can it really be that important?”
JIVE: “Well, if he’s going to take Suicidal Killer to the battle royal, sure he is!”
GHEORGHE: “Up next is our triple threat match between John Doe, Chris McMillan and Scotty Michaels. Let’s go up to Carl Jacobs for the introductions!”
(CUTTO: Carl Jacobs in the ring. The lineup for this match shows up on the screen before slowly fading away.)
JACOBS: “The following match up is for ONE FALL and has a thirty minute time limit. It will be a triangle match, meaning all three men will be in the ring… at the same time!”
(Crowd pops)
JACOBS: “Introducing first!”
(CUEUP: ‘Sic’ by Slipknot. Pyro and Fireworks go off in the arena as New ERA flashes all over the big screen near the top of the rampway. The arena turns pitch black. John Doe walks from behind the curtain as a blurred face shows on the screen with the words ‘JOHN DOE’ flashing and fading. He comes out, focused.)
JACOBS: “Standing 6’1 and weighing in at 210 pounds …….. he is JOHN DOE!”
GHEORGHE: “Doe stunned New ERA last week as he ended up pinning Trevor Cane to make it to the quarterfinals of the Television title tournament!”
JIVE: “Which, by the way, was TOTALLY UNFAIR.”
GHEORGHE: “President LaRoque ordered it. Hey it was your man who screwed it up.”
JACOBS: “AND HIS OPPONENT….”
(CUEUP: “It’s My Life” by Bon Jovi. The crowd immediately begins to show their displeasure. Scotty Michaels comes out behind the curtain and is giving the finger to the crowd.)
GHEORGHE: “And there has to be one of the most DISHONEST …. DISTASTEFUL men in New ERA of Wrestling! What he tried to do last week to move on in the TV title tournament was horrible!”
JACOBS: “FROM PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA! He is the current WFW WOOOORRRRLD CHAMPION ….. ‘the Viewers Choice’ SCOTTY MICHAELS!”
JIVE: “I think the ref should have disqualified Hansen last week for wrestling under the influence of an illegal substance!”
GHEORGHE: “But it was that man right there who put it in!”
JIVE: “No, no.. Henderson put it in, how was Michaels supposed to know that?”
GHEORGHE: “You’re ridiculous.”
JIVE: “But I’m also sexy.”
GHEORGHE: “And on drugs.”
JIVE: “If by that you mean so incredibly sexy that I make ladies feel as if they’re euphoric, then yes.”
GHEORGHE: “That’s not what I meant.”
JACOBS: “And the last participant …..”
(CUEUP: ‘Dogs of War’ by Pink Floyd.)
JACOBS: “From CADILLAC, MICHIGAN ……… ‘the WOLF’ …… CHRIS …. MCMILLAN!”
(McMillan slowly walks down to ringside.)
(SFX: Bell rings.)
GHEORGHE: “Michaels in the ring immediately charges at Doe, and he takes him down with a running knee lift. Scotty Michaels now hooks John Doe …… AND NAILS A BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX.”
JIVE: “And look at McMillan! McMillan is being a wuss on the outside.”
GHEORGHE: “The ref hasn’t noticed him yet, or else he would have started counting him out.”
JIVE: “HEY REF! LOOK!”
GHEORGHE: “Michaels now with a fistful of hair … locks the head …. DDT … NO! Doe threw Michaels off! DOE AGAINST THE ROPES …. HURRICANRANA ON MICHAELS WITH THE COVER!!!! ONE ….. KICKOUT!”
JIVE: “The ref should be focusing more on McMillan!!”
GHEORGHE: “McMillan slowly ascending the steps …. As Doe now has Scotty Michaels in a BOSTON CRAB! Michaels not tapping though ….. AND MCMILLAN COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A SPRINGBOARD SPINNING LEGDROP NAILING MICHAELS! John Doe turns around … McMillan with a FLOATOVER DDT … NO! DOE CATCHES HIM …. Atomic drop …. FOLLOWED BY A SPINNING DDT OF HIS OWN!”
JIVE: “John Doe somehow kept his cool during all that. But poor Michaels is laid flat out on the mat!”
GHEORGHE: “Doe covers Michaels …. ONE ….. TWO ….. but McMillan makes the save! John Doe gets up and takes McMillan …..nails him with a snap suplex! JOHN DOE GOING UP TOP!!!”
JIVE: “AHA!”
GHEORGHE: “But Scotty Michaels using the ropes at the same time … and Doe crashed to the turnbuckle ….. and had the turnbuckle meet his balls in the most painful manner possible! Michaels is up … he sees McMillan on the ground, and Doe straddling the top turnbuckle…. AND NOW MICHAELS IS GOING UP TOP WITH DOE!! But Doe is fighting back! Doe with a left! Michaels comes back with a right!! They’re both …. OH NO..”
JIVE: “McMillan is insane!”
GHEORGHE: “Chris McMillan got up and has seen what is happening …….. HE CLIMBS TO THE SECOND TURNBUCKLE …. ALL THREE MEN ARE ON THAT TURNBUCKLE …… MICHAELS HOOKED …. AND MCMILLAN COMES OFF WITH A BELLY TO BACK SUPLEX ON MICHAELS!!!”
JIVE: “And John Doe goes right back onto the turnbuckle! If I were him, I’d prefer to be thrown to the mat!”
GHEORGHE: “McMillan now covering Michaels …. ONE …. TW- Kickout by Scotty Michaels.”
JIVE: “When you’ve got someone as weak as McMillan in there, well its easy to toss them off.”
GHEORGHE: “I don’t think McMillan’s weak at all. Sure he’s smaller than the other guys in this match, but weak? No. And now Michaels is trying to make something happen as McMillan walked over to make sure Doe wasn’t getting up anytime soon. As McMillan turned, Michaels grabbed his foot and tripped him up! McMillan up … turns around … DIAMOND CUTTER!!! Michaels covers!! ONE ……. TWO …… FOOT ON THE ROPE! Chris McMillan barely got his foot on the ropes!”
JIVE: “Well, when the pressure of Michaels’ body went on top of McMillan, I think it was a natural reaction for his body. Kinda like when your knee gets tapped.”
GHEORGHE: “I’m assuming that’s another comment about McMillan’s weight.”
JIVE: “Don’t assume, Tom… you make an ASS out of U, M …. E.”
GHEORGHE: “I think you make enough of an ass out of yourself without my help, Nick. Michaels goes over to DOE…. MICHAELS AGAIN ON THE TOP ROPE NOW!!!! HE LOCKS IN DOE ……. SUPERPLEX …… Michaels up …….. NOOOO! CHRIS MCMILLAN WITH A CORKSCREW PLANCHA AND BOTH HE AND MICHAELS GO CRASHING OVER THE TOP ROPE!”
CROWD: “N . E . W! N . E . W!”
GHEORGHE: “The ref goes over to start counting!”
REF: “ONE!”
GHEORGHE: “Both men are starting to stir.”
REF: “TWO!”
GHEORGHE: “McMillan now up to his knees …. And he’s got Michaels by the hair!”
REF: “THREE!”
JIVE: “They better get back into the ring …”
REF: “FOUR!”
GHEORGHE: “McMillan now with a kick to the stomach …. TEARDROP SUP …. NO MICHAELS REVERSES …….. MICHAELS LOCKS IT IN …..”
REF: “FIVE!”
GHEORGHE: “MICHAELS WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX ON CHRIS MCMILLAN!”
REF: “SIX!”
JIVE: “What is Michaels doing!!!”
REF: “SEVEN!”
GHEORGHE: “Instead of rolling back inside the ring ….. MICHAELS IS GRABBING HIS WFW WORLD TITLE!!!”
REF: “EIGHT!”
GHEORGHE: “McMillan slowly getting up …. MICHAELS FLIES THROUGH THE AIR AND HITS HIM IN THE HEAD WITH THE TITLE!!!”
REF: “NINE!”
JIVE: “GET IN THE RING!”
GHEORGHE: “John Doe has been on his knees the entire time as the ref’s been counting .. he’s not stupid! MICHAELS REACHING FOR THE ROPES ….. BUT HE CAUGHT ON MCMILLAN’s BOOT!!! McMILLAN’s BOOT AND MICHAELS’ BOOT ARE CAUGHT!!!”
REF: “TEN!”
(SFX: Bell rings)
JACOBS: “The winner of this match due to countout ……… JOHN ….. DOE!”
JIVE: “No! What a cheap way to win! Why does he win in the first place?!?!? That’s not fair!! This is a one fall match!”
GHEORGHE: “Yes, but even though Michaels and McMillan lose, they were counted out at the SAME TIME, thus leaving the only legal man in the ring, that being John Doe!”
JIVE: “Doe was just sitting there!! He didn’t even try to get involved!”
GHEORGHE: “Would you go out there once you realize they lost count of the time??”
JIVE: “He’s a coward!”
GHEORGHE: “I would tend to disagree … it was intelligent, Nick … but when we come back….. BATTLE BOWL MANIA CONTINUES!!! Peter File, who managed to ‘stick’ his way into the tag team match between Doom and Natural Born Killers, will team with Jonathan Marx as they take on the team of CROSS and the Renaissance Man!!! This … and maybe we’ll find out who the mystery partner of Suicidal Killer’s is! We’ll be back after this short break!”
