JACOBS: “The following match is scheduled for one fall and has a THIRTY MINUTE time limit! Introducing first…”
(CUEUP: ‘Nowhere Kids’ by Smile Empty Soul. With the fade in of the intro the lights in the arena turn to a deep shade of blue... "In the land of dirt and plaster lies an army of a thousand nowhere kids losing ground and falling faster into a life that no one should have to live" As the chorus begins to play Dylan McCormick bursts through the curtains at a full sprint and halls as down the entrance ramp... "We are the people that you hate We are the bastards that you created a generation with no place a generation of all your sons and daughters" Dylan hits the ring and slides in, his momentum carrying him almost to the center. Before he comes to a complete stop he is already on his feet and moving. He hits one of the corners and begins to bang his head to the music, his hair moving violently. He finally drops off the corner and leans in the corner with his arms crossed, a cocky grin on his face.)
JACOBS: “He stands five foot eleven … and weighs 211 pounds … hailing from San Diego, California ……. DYLAN McCORMICK!”
JIVE: “I like McCormick.”
MARCEAU: “I’ve liked what I’ve seen so far. Lets see if he can keep things going.”
JACOBS: “And his opponent ….”
(CUEUP: ‘Karma’ by Diffuser. Green and blue spotlights shine onto the crowd to form the word “TACT” as Larry Tact walks out onto the entryway, looking around. He then focuses on the ring, steadily walking towards it as the spotlights swirl around the arena. Tact does a couple of stretches before climbing onto the apron and entering the ring.)
JACOBS: “He stands six foot five and weighs 252 pounds …. Hailing from Manhattan, New York ……. He is the former New ERA of Wrestling WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION ……. LARRY TACT!”
(SFX: Bell rings.)
JIVE: “But I like Larry Tact, too.”
MARCEAU: “Its unfortunate that at a time when Larry and I were beginning to understand each other, that he managed to lose the World Heavyweight Championship. But I’m sure he’ll find someway to get it back.”
GHEORGHE: “And Tact and McCormick had some words to say to each other leading up to the event … McCormick making fun of Tact for losing to Jean Rabesque, who has hit his 40s in age … and Tact cautioning McCormick about stepping into the ring with a seasoned veteran like himself .. someone who knows what it takes to win World Heavyweight Championships.”
JIVE: “They are staring at each other right now..”
MARCEAU: “New ERA has so many talented wrestlers in it, it is VERY hard to keep track.”
GHEORGHE: “Both men in the center of the ring now … Larry Tact wants to lock up … McCormick agrees …. BUT McCORMICK DUCKS UNDERNEATH! Larry Tact turns around … AND DYLAN McCORMICK WITH A DROPKICK! Larry Tact back to his feet … McCormick WITH ANOTHER DROPKICK!”
MARCEAU: “McCormick has tons of speed … tons of confidence … he goes with his gut instincts..”
GHEORGHE: “Tact up again … McCORMICK WITH ANOTHER DROP… NO! Tact swats him away and McCormick hits the mat! Larry Tact now quick to McCormick … AND HE LOCKS HIM IN A FULL NELSON! Larry Tact locking his fingers now …. HE PICKS HIM UP AND DROPS HIM WITH A FULL NELSON SLAM!”
JIVE: “Tact .. one of the BEST technicians in the sport.”
GHEORGHE: “Larry Tact now standing over the body of McCormick .. and he’s jawing at him! Uncharacteristic of Tact to talk smack in the middle of a match.”
MARCEAU: “Part of the new and improved Tact, I’d assume.”
GHEORGHE: “Larry Tact now bringing Dylan McCormick to his feet … Tact with an irish whip … REVERSAL BY McCORMICK … Tact on his way back … AND McCORMICK WITH A HURRICANRANA THAT TOSSES TACT INTO THE ROPES! Larry Tact slides under the ropes and tries to walk off the dizziness!”
JIVE: “McCormick isn’t going to let him get away with it that easy!”
GHEORGHE: “McCORMICK CHARGING ….. McCORMICK JUMPS ON THE TOP ROPE LIKE A CAT AND PROPELS HIMSELF TO THE OUTSIDE ….. SPACEMAN SUICIDE PLANCHA!”
CROWD: “DYLAN! DYLAN! DYLAN!”
MARCEAU: “The crowd seems to like McCormick’s high flying moves … hmm.”
GHEORGHE: “McCormick and Tact are both lying on the arena floor … I don’t think Larry Tact was expecting that at all!”
JIVE: “Tact is a former World Heavyweight Champion, Tom .. I think he’s letting McCormick get too full of himself, that way he can HUMBLE him later.”
GHEORGHE: “McCormick back to his feet ….. and NOW McCORMICK HOPS ONTO OUR BROADCAST TABLE! McCORMICK WITH A MOONSAULT OFF THE BROADCAST TABLE ….. BUT TACT PUTS UP HIS KNEES!”
MARCEAU: “That was a very good move by Tact .. the moonsault is one of those moves that has a lot of air time … and Tact was able to guard himself.”
GHEORGHE: “Larry Tact said that he was going to defeat McCormick no matter how many of those moves Dylan tried to do … and Tact has just shown one reason why. The former World Heavyweight Champion now rolls Dylan McCormick back in the ring .. and he rolls in, too.”
JIVE: “Can we just call him the World Heavyweight Champion? After being the Champion for three months, I think its unfair to those out watching us to suddenly change how we reference him.. it should be a gradual … never ending phase..”
GHEORGHE: “I don’t think so, Nick. Larry Tact now picking up Dylan McCormick … Tact locks the arms around McCormick’s waist … OVER THE HEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX! Larry Tact going back to the mat moves that can make or break plenty of superstars… and now he’s picking McCormick back up ….. AND TACT WITH A T-BONE SUPLEX! Larry Tact with the cover …. ONE …….. TWO ….. KICKOUT by McCormick!”
JIVE: “McCormick has got a lot of heart, that’s for sure .. I think Tact needs to wear him down a little more before trying to get the win.”
MARCEAU: “I’m sure Larry Tact didn’t expect McCormick to go this long .. we’re already past the 10 minute mark. This is already a small victory for McCormick.”
GHEORGHE: “I don’t think that McCormick would count anything less than an official win over Tact as a victory.”
JIVE: “The fans are the real winners here!”
MARCEAU: “Nick, that was just cheesy. I would expect something like that out of Tom, but not you..”
GHEORGHE: “Larry Tact now locking the legs of Dylan McCormick … and he’s got a scissored leg lock on! Dylan McCormick props right up and is trying to reach Larry Tact!”
JIVE: “Take away the air game, and then it’s a mat versus mat game .. and Larry Tact would win that hands down.”
GHEORGHE: “McCormick trying as hard as he can to get out of the hold …. AND FINALLY McCORMICK RAKES THE EYES OF TACT!”
MARCEAU: “You gotta do whatever you can to get out of holds like that.. sometimes a good rake of the eyes does wonders!”
GHEORGHE: “McCormick is crawling to the corner now .. Larry Tact is back on his feet ..He sees McCormick resting in the corner …. And Larry Tact grabs McCormick by the head … BUT McCORMICK IS HOLDING ON TO THE ROPES! Larry Tact now grabs McCormick’s legs … AND HE’s TRYING TO PULL HIM OFF!”
MARCEAU: “Tact’s strong enough .. just one big pull..”
GHEORGHE: “WAIT A MINUTE!! DYLAN McCORMICK RELEASED THE ROPES AS TACT WAS COMING IN …. AND HE PLANTED HIS HANDS DOWN AND TOSSES LARRY TACT WITH A SPINNING LEG WHIP!”
JIVE: “He just wrapped his legs and used them to toss Tact over!”
GHEORGHE: “McCormick is back to his feet as Tact looks shocked!”
JIVE: “I don’t think Tact’s ever been leg whipped before!”
GHEORGHE: “McCormick runs … AND NAILS TACT IN THE SIDE WITH A BASEBALL SLIDE! Larry Tact is knocked to the outside! McCormick pulls on the top rope …. AND CATAPULTS HIMSELF OVER THE TOP ROPE ON TOP OF LARRY TACT!”
(SFX: Crowd pops!)
MARCEAU: “Dylan McCormick .. really taking it to Larry Tact, trying to keep him off guard.”
GHEORGHE: “McCormick now getting a chair … McCormick sets up the chair … Larry Tact is getting up …. AND McCORMICK WITH A RUNNING START SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE CHAIR AND HITS LARRY TACT WITH A SPINNING HEEL KICK!!!”
JIVE: “McCormick is insane!”
GHEORGHE: “The referee telling McCormick to bring it back inside .. and McCormick tosses Larry Tact back in … McCormick on the apron … AND DYLAN McCORMICK IS GOING UP TOP!”
MARCEAU: “He isn’t going for the shooting star press already is he?”
GHEORGHE: “McCORMICK COMES OFF … FLYING LEG DROP FROM THE TOP ROPE …. BUT TACT ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND McCORMICK HITS HIS LEG ON THE MAT!”
JIVE: “Where is Stacy?”
GHEORGHE: “What?”
JIVE: “Stacy .. you know .. McCormick’s girl. I would have expected her to be here at RAUCOUS after missing DESTRUCITY as well”
MARCEAU: “She’s out back .. she hasn’t been cleared yet .. but I fully expect her to be out in support of McCormick the next time we see him.”
GHEORGHE: “McCormick not seeming to have luck when he attempts the top rope leg drop … and now Larry Tact rolls up McCormick! ONE ………. TWO …….. THR—NO! Kickout after two by McCormick!”
MARCEAU: “Tact needs to work on the leg.. if he lets McCormick get back up, he may suffer the same fate as Red Devastator and have a win stolen from him.”
GHEORGHE: “Tact driving his knees into the knees of McCormick …”
(SFX: Crowd pops.)
JIVE: “THERE’s THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!”
(SPLITSCREEN: Larry Tact has applied a chinlock on McCormick … but looks on with wide eyes as Jean Rabesque begins to walk down the isleway with the World Heavyweight Championship on his shoulder.)
MARCEAU: “What is HE doing here? I thought he would have learnt that those who stick their noses in other people’s business do not suffer pleasant fates!”
GHEORGHE: “Larry Tact releases the chinlock on McCormick .. AND NOW HE IS OVER AND HE IS YELLING AT JEAN RABESQUE!”
JIVE: “Larry Tact using VERY choice words at Rabesque … and Rabesque just shrugs his shoulders and pats the World Heavyweight championship!”
MARCEAU: “Tact better stay focu.. nevermind.”
GHEORGHE: “McCORMICK WITH A SCHOOL BOY!!! ONE ………. TWO ……….. THREE!”
MARCEAU: “Did he get him?!”
GHEORGHE: “Nooooooooo! The referee is saying that Tact got his shoulder up!”
JIVE: “McCormick was a hair’s width away from beating the former World Heavyweight Champion!”
GHEORGHE: “Larry Tact up quickly … AND McCORMICK CATCHES HIM! NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX WITH BRIDGE!!! ONE ……….. TWO ….. KICKOUT!”
MARCEAU: “McCormick pulling out some nice maneuvers himself!”
GHEORGHE: “McCormick quickly up and he bounces against the ropes…”
JACOBS: “There are now 7 minutes left in the match.”
JIVE: “Seven minutes! Hold out Larry!”
GHEORGHE: “McCormick ducks under a Tact clothesline attempt! McCormick HOPS ON THE SECOND ROPES!!!! McCORMICK JUMPS BACKWARDS WITH AN ELBOW TO THE FACE OF TACT! NO!! LARRY TACT CATCHES HIM!! LARRY TACT WITH A GERMAN SUPLEX!!! ONE ………. TWO ………. THREE!!! NOOO!!! Only 2.9!”
MARCEAU: “What a reversal by Tact! Both these men are trying their best to outdo the other.”
GHEORGHE: “McCormick on his knees …. AND LARRY TACT WITH A RUNNING KNEE TO THE FACE! And now Tact stands over McCormick … AND HE JUST SLAPPED HIM IN THE FACE!”
JIVE: “Hey, if I were a rookie, and I were slapped in the face by the former World Heavyweight Champion, I’d be in Heaven.”
MARCEAU: “That’s because you’re a kiss ass.”
GHEORGHE: “Larry Tact now looking up at Rabesque who nods ….. Tact shaking his head at Rabesque … AND McCORMICK IS GETTING UP! McCormick sees Tact distracted …. AND HE CHARGES AT TACT!”
(SFX: Huge mix of pops and boos.)
GHEORGHE: “SUPERKICK! Larry Tact with the POINT BLANK SUPERKICK! And now he’s calling for the Humbling!”
MARCEAU: “There are only 4 minutes left, too!”
GHEORGHE: “Larry Tact picking up Dylan McCormick … he turns to face Jean Rabesque … AND TACT WINKS AT RABESQUE BEFORE HITTING THE HUMBLING ON McCORMICK!!!!! ONE ………………. TWO …………………. THREE!!!”
(SFX: Bell rings.)
JACOBS: “The winner of this match ….. LARRY TACT!”
MARCEAU: “What a victory by Larry Tact!!! Tact managing to keep a barrier between himself and all others as I’m sure he’s determined to get the World Heavyweight championship back.”
JIVE: “Jean Rabesque is giving Larry Tact a golf clap!”
GHEORGHE: “Larry Tact is yelling down the rampway as Rabesque is backing up the ramp …. Ladies and gentlemen, Dylan McCormick put up a HELL of a fight …. It just wasn’t enough here tonight as Larry Tact came out victorious!”
MARCEAU: “As always guys, it was good to be here to brighten up the show.. I have some stuff to take care of.”
(Marceau gets up.)
GHEORGHE: “Ladies and gentlemen, when we get back .. we have tonight’s MAIN EVENT as the Lethal Lottery brings you Alister Hayze and ‘Too Sweet’ Travis Smith … in a TABLES MATCH!”
(FADEOUT: On Jean Rabesque, who is smiling at Larry Tact, patting the World Heavyweight championship as he exits through the curtain. CUTTO: Commercial.)
