GHEORGHE: “Marcus LaRoque is out here … and he couldn’t have chosen a better time to reveal the stipulations for the second main event at WrestleSTOCK..”
JULIUS: “Apparently he’s been keeping the stipulations under lock and key in that steel briefcase .. he’s been lugging it around with him all night!”
LaROQUE: “Well here we are … one more match separates us between now and the joint pay per view.”
(SFX: CROWD ERUPTS~!!)
LaROQUE: “Larry Tact came to me .. and he had this brilliant idea.. let’s throw some of New ERA’s biggest names in the same ring .. at once .. for the New ERA of Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship..”
(SFX: POP!)
LaROQUE: “He had an idea of who he wanted … and being the open guy I am, I figured why the hell not… so week after week he sent you all invitations… Phantom Republican …”
(SFX: JEERS!)
LaROQUE: “Daymon..”
(SFX: JEERS!)
LaROQUE: “Shawn Hart …”
(SFX: CROWD POPS HUGE!)
LaROQUE: “Of course, you, Jonathan..”
(SFX: Marx gets a mixture of jeers and some huge pops around the arena.)
JULIUS: “You can tell who the commies are..”
LaROQUE: “But I figured I would add a name of my own .. just to make things interesting .. so I chose Jean Rabesque as the sixth man to enter the main event..”
(SFX: CROWD POPS HUGE!)
LaROQUE: “Needless to say .. that wasn’t it. Once Tact laid it out on the line … I figured that there would have to been something … something more to this. And that’s what’s in this briefcase...”
(He pats the side of it.)
LaROQUE: “You six men will battle it out at WrestleSTOCK for the World Heavyweight Championship in a match of my choosing …”
GHEORGHE: “What could it be?”
LaROQUE: “So let’s reveal the stipulation, shall we?”
(SFX: CROWD ERUPTS!)
JIVE: “LaRoque is starting to open the briefcase!!”
GHEORGHE: “I have been waiting for this all night, guys!”
(LaRoque flips open one flap … then the other. He holds the briefcase in his hands and protects its contents from being seen. He looks down and smiles.)
GHEORGHE: “Come on!!”
(LaRoque takes his right hand and reaches in the briefcase …)
JIVE: “…. its another briefcase?!”
(LaRoque pulls out a second briefcase and then closes the first .. he places them both down on the rampway as the fans wonder what is happening.)
LaROQUE: “Eeny .. meeny .. miny … moe … catch a tiger by its toe … when he hollers, let him go … I … choose … you.”
(The crowd doesn’t know what to do as LaRoque places his foot on the second briefcase.)
JULIUS: “LaRoque’s lost it guys! He’s gone bonkers!”
LaROQUE: “I hope you guys memorize that children’s rhyme … because at WrestleSTOCK … fifteen feet in the air … will be hanging TWO briefcases….. one will hold the New ERA of Wrestling World Heavyweight Championship …. and the second … a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at BANNED in the US!”
(SFX: CROWD POPS!!)
GHEORGHE: “WHOA!”
LaROQUE: “And the only way to get to these briefcases … will be to ascend one of the SIX ladders that will be at ringside!”
(SFX: CROWD ORGASMS!)
JIVE: “SIX LADDERS?!?!”
LaROQUE: “No one will know which briefcase holds what .. so your choice could make … or break you… the match will continue until BOTH briefcases are taken down … and only when BOTH are taken down .. will we find out who is the World Heavyweight champion … and who walks out with a shot at BANNED in the US!”
(SFX: CROWD POPS HUGE!!! All six men look at each other suspiciously.)
LaROQUE: “Have fun tonight .. because at WrestleSTOCK .. you won’t have that luxury.”
(CUEUP: “the Perfect Drug” by NIN as LaRoque grabs both suitcases and walks to the back.)
GHEORGHE: “It’s DUELING SUITCASES GUYS!!”
JIVE: “SIX LADDERS!”
JULIUS: “And you can feel the tension at ringside be turned up to 11!”
GHEORGHE: “AND GOP JUST ATTACKED JONATHAN MARX FROM BEHIND!!! THIS MATCH IS UNDERWAY!!
(SFX: Bell rings.)
GHEORGHE: “GOP with some vicious forearms to the back of the World Heavyweight champion’s head .. and he has Marx down on his knees already!”
JIVE: “GOP has waited a long time to get another World Heavyweight Championship shot .. and he’s going to take advantage of every opportunity he has to put that title back around his waist.”
JULIUS: “GOP has been on fire … and tonight, against all odds, he’s going to walk out here and bringing back the prestige that the World Heavyweight Championship lost since its been around Marx’s waist.”
GHEORGHE: “GOP still driving those forearms in the back of the head .. and now he whips Marx around on his knees … AND NAILS HIM IN THE JAW WITH THE KNEE! Jonathan Marx wobbles back … AND GOP CHARGES IN AND FLIPS HIM BACK WITH A RUNNING BOOT TO THE FACE!”
JIVE: “GOP showing a mean streak in the beginning of this match. He wants to make sure that Marx is caught off guard early so that he can keep him off kilter the entire way through.”
GHEORGHE: “GOP drops down and applies the side headlock … and he is wrenching on the head of the World Heavyweight champion!”
JULIUS: “Look at the guys on the outside .. Larry Tact and Daymon are just aching to get into the ring ..”
GHEORGHE: “Well Daymon last week with that .. embrace with Phantom Republican .. those two were cohorts with another … and now GOP has at least some protection for him out there should Hart, Rabesque or Tact try to do more than aid GOP back in the ring..”
JIVE: “Tact would never do such a thing .. Hart and Rabesquador on the other hand .. well, you need to watch them like hawks.”
GHEORGHE: “GOP has that headlock locked on .. but Jonathan Marx is starting to stir … Marx trying to power his way back to his feet … and GOP let’s go! Phantom Republican back on his feet .. AND HE STARTS STOMPING DOWN ON THE HEAD OF MARX! Jonathan Marx STILL trying to fight his way to his feet! GOP grabs Marx … and he yanks him up! Marx a little woozy as GOP locks his arms …….. BUTTERFLY SUPLEX!”
JIVE: “It has been ALL Phantom Republican so far .. he’s really taken control of the match.”
GHEORGHE: “GOP quick to his feet and grabs Marx as he was getting up …. SWINGING NECKBREAKER! GOP makes the cover … ONE …. TW—NOOO! Jonathan Marx able to kick out before the two count.”
JULIUS: “GOP is a smart cookie .. he knows that Marx is the faster of the two .. and by cutting him off early and wearing him down now, he neutralizes Marx’s technical advantage.”
GHEORGHE: “GOP now with Marx and he brings him up … AND GOP WITH A RIGHT…. no! Marx ducked! GOP spins around thanks to the momentum … AND MARX POPS HIM IN THE FACE WITH A STANDING DROPKICK! GOP drops to the mat but quickly bounces back to his feet! Marx up against him and then whips him into the ropes! Marx ducks his head as GOP comes on the return … GOP with the leapfro… NO!! MARX BACK UP AT THE LAST MOMENT!! HE CATCHES GOP IN MIDAIR … AND DROPS HIM WITH THE SPINEBUSTER!”
JIVE: “Marx telegraphing that move … he knew GOP would go over the top of him if anything .. so he planned it out just in case!”
GHEORGHE: “Jonathan Marx back up .. AND HE’s GOING FOR THE MARXISM!! MARX GRABS THE LE.. NO!! GOP ROLLS OUT OF THE ATTEMPT! GOP grabs the ropes and uses them to get to his feet ……… AND GETS CLOTHESLINED OVER THE TOP TO THE ARENA FLOOR!!”
JULIUS: “Lucky for him he landed right at the feet of Daymon .. and Daymon helps him up and dusts him off!”
GHEORGHE: “Phantom Republican slides back into the ring … and both men are now staring each other in the face.”
JIVE: “GOP is verbally berating Marx .. and he points to the World Heavyweight Championship and now points to his waist!”
GHEORGHE: “AND MARX STARTS FIRING AWAY WITH RIGH HOOKS! GOP being knocked back into the ropes … AND MARX DRIVING THE KNEE REPEATEDLY INTO THE GUT OF THE PHANTOM REPUBLICAN! Marx grabs the arm of GOP and pulls him forward … Marx ducking underneath .. AND YANKS ON THE ARM!”
JULIUS: “Marx working quickly ..”
GHEORGHE: “Jonathan Marx with an elbow down on the arm and GOP holding it gingerly .. he turns … AND GETS CLOTHESLINED TO THE MAT BY THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!”
JIVE: “Marx has turned this match back around in his favor .. he must be feeding off the energy of his fellow comrades..”
GHEORGHE: “Oh stop it, you two!”
JULIUS: “What? It’s the truth!”
GHEORGHE: “Jonathan Marx bends down and grabs Phantom Republican .. and he rakes the eyes! GOP crawls to the center of the ring .. AND MARX GRABS THE LEG AND IS TRYING TO LOCK ON THE MARXISM ONCE MORE!”
JIVE: “BUT GOP JUST FLIPPED OVER AND KICKED MARX IN THE FACE!”
GHEORGHE: “Marx stumbles backwards as GOP crawls over into the corner .. but Marx charges in after him!! GOP turns .. AND MARX COMES RUNNING IN WITH THE KNEE!
BUT GOP MOVES!! MARX NAILS THE CORNER FULL SPEED …”
JIVE: “Timber!”
GHEORGHE: “And Marx falls on his back .. GOP grabs the legs and makes the cover .. BUT HE PUT HIS FEET ON THE ROPES FOR EXTRA LEVERAGE! ONE ……….. TWO ………. AND JEAN RABESQUE JUST PUSHED HIS FEET OFF THE ROPES TO BREAK UP THE HOLD!”
JIVE: “That’s not fair!! Rabesque can’t interfere when the action is going on in the ring!”
GHEORGHE: “GOP hops to his feet and now he reaches over the top rope … AND HE HAS JEAN RABESQUE BY THE HAIR!! Rabesque wasn’t expecting that …. AND JONATHAN MARX FROM BEHIND WITH THE ROLL UP!! ONE ……. TWO ……… KICKOUT!”
JULIUS: “Rabesque almost cost GOP the match! That scoundrel! He’s Canadian .. he’s probably in cohoots with the communists here!”
GHEORGHE: “Both men quickly to their feet … they charge at each other … AND BOTH MEN GO DOWN WITH THE DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE!”
JIVE: “Both men thinking the same thing .. and it turns out they both paid the price!”
GHEORGHE: “Marx first to his feet .. and he grabs GOP … AND MARX TOSSES PHANTOM REPUBLICAN OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE ARENA FLOOR.”
JULIUS: “And GOP gets to his feet … and is standing face to face with Larry Tact!”
JIVE: “Sparks are going to fly!”
GHEORGHE: “Tact takes a step towards GOP … and GOP starts to op… No! Tact whips him around and throws him underneath the bottom rope! GOP gets back to his feet and stats yelling at Tact!”
JULIUS: “So far GOP has been more distracted by the lumberjacks on the outside than Marx ..”
GHEORGHE: “MARX COMES BEHIND GOP …. AND HE HOOKS HIM …….. AND TAKES HIM OVER WITH THE BRIDGING GERMAN SUPLEX …… ONE ………. TWO ……… TH—NOOOOO!!”
JIVE: “GOP better watch out .. he doesn’t want to lose this match thanks to someone on the outside …”
GHEORGHE: “The World Heavyweight champion back on his feet … AND HE GRABS THE LEG OF GOP!!”
JULIUS: “Marx is persistent in trying to lock on the Marxism.. that’s for sure.”
GHEORGHE: “NO! Marx … MARX HAS THE SHARPSHOOTER ON! GOP is locked with nowhere to go!”
JIVE: “That’s not what he needs right now .. he’s facing away from the ropes .. so there’s nothing he can do!”
GHEORGHE: “Marx has the sharpshooter locked on and look at his face! He is a man possessed!”
JULIUS: “He’s more intent on breaking the back of Phantom Republican right now rather than winning the match.”
GHEORGHE: “Marx with that hold locked on as he leans further back………… NO!! GOP POWERED OUT OF IT AND MARX GOES FLYING OUT THROUGH THE SECOND ROPES!”
JIVE: “Here comes Tact to the rescue again!”
GHEORGHE: “Larry Tact grabs Jonathan Marx by the head and brings him up … BUT MARX WITH A THUMB TO THE EYE! AND MARX JUST LEVELED LARRY TACT WITH A RIGHT HOOK!”
JULIUS: “You knew this was going to happen sooner or later!!!”
GHEORGHE: “Marx slides into the ring … and he hops over GOP and goes to the opposite ropes … AND MARX GETS TRIPPED UP BY DAYMON WHO REACHED IN AND GRABBED HIS LEG!! Marx tumbles to the mat!”
JIVE: “The referee is going to lose control of this match … and that’s all we need right now is a bedlam brawl!”
GHEORGHE: “TACT IS UP … and he is making his way around the outside to Marx!”
(SFX: CROWD POPS HUGE!)
GHEORGHE: “BUT HE’s STOPPED BY SHAWN HART!! Hart pointing at Tact to go back to his side of the ring!!”
JIVE: “AND GOP IS UP!”
GHEORGHE: “Phantom Republican grabs Jonathan Marx … he whips him hard into the corner ….. DEFICIT RUNNER!! GOP COMES CRASHING IN W/ THE HARD CLOTHESLINE … AND THEN DDTs MARX TO THE MAT FOR GOOD MEASURE!”
JIVE: “Phantom Republican is going up top!!”
GHEORGHE: “The World Heavyweight champion is strewn across the ring … and GOP is on the top rope! GOP measures …… STEALTH BOMBER 180 DEGREE GUILLOTINE LEG DROP!!”
JULIUS: “GOP makes the cover …. ONE ……… TWO ……….. THREE!!”
GHEORGHE: “NO! NO! NO! MARX KICKED OUT!”
JIVE: “Barely!”
GHEORGHE: “GOP hits the mat in frustration … and he pulls the World Heavyweight champion to his feet! GOP locks the head … AND HE HOISTS MARX UP ………. UNILATERAL STRIKE as GOP slams Marx down face first on the ma…”
(SFX: Loud SWOOSH~~! sound…)
JULIUS: “What the fuck?!”
GHEORGHE: “A fighter plane just flew over the top of Greenfield Stadium … the fans don’t seemed phased at all .. but GOP looking up at the sky!”
JIVE: “That’s because in America we are conscientious about flying overhead when an American hero is about to win back a World Heavyweight Championship!”
GHEORGHE: “GOP’s attention back on the World Heavyweight champion as he brings him to his feet … and nails him in the chest with knife edge chops! GOP laying into Marx … and he grabs the arm … SHORT ARM CLOTHESLINE!”
JULIUS: “GOP can sense the end coming …”
GHEORGHE: “Phantom Republican now going back to the corner … and he’s going back up top!”
JIVE: “GOP is going to tear down the wall of DREDD … it’s already cracked when Doe turned on Marx …. and now he’s going to go all Ronald Reagan on Marx’s ass!”
GHEORGHE: “GOP turns his back towards Marx …. AND HE FLIES OFF WITH THE STAR WARS HIGH ARCHING MOONSAULT!!!”
(SFX: FANS POP!)
GHEORGHE: “THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION MOVES OUT OF THE WAY AND GOP HITS THE MAT HARD!!! BOTH MEN ARE ON THEIR STOMACHS!”
JIVE: “GOP was on a roll, as he has been now for a while, but that move just was a few seconds too late!”
GHEORGHE: “Both men on their mat as their four competitors at the joint pay per view look on … in anticipation, I’m sure, of who will be the one with the larger bullseye on their back at Giants Stadium!”
JULIUS: “These two men have battled before … they know what the other is capable of.. which is why this match has gone back and forth thus far.”
(SFX: CROWD JEERS HARDCORE!)
GHEORGHE: “The crowd reacting as the Phantom Republican begins to make his way to his feet … GOP is up!”
JIVE: “But Marx is moving too!”
GHEORGHE: “The Phantom Republican is on his feet and he sees the World Heavyweight champion getting up …. GOP against the far ropes as Marx gets up ….. MARX IS UP …. AND GOP WITH A FLYING CROSSBODY BLOCK ……………. AND BOTH MEN GO TUMBLING OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE ARENA FLOOR!!”
JULIUS: “They landed right in front of Daymon!! What luck for the Phantom Republican! This is fate, Gheorghe!”
GHEORGHE: “Both men on the arena floor …. AND DAYMON BEGINS PUTTING THE BOOTS TO JONATHAN MARX! DAYMON DRILLING THOSE BOOTS INTO THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION AND HERE COMES JEAN RABESQUE!”
JIVE: “Why does Rabesque always have to put his nose in everyone’s business!”
GHEORGHE: “Rabesque turns the corner and he whips Daymon around … AND PLANTS A BOOT IN THE GUT ………. RABESQUE GRABS DAYMON AND WHIPS HIM INTO THE GUARDRAIL!”
JULIUS: “All hell is going to break loose!!”
GHEORGHE: “LARRY TACT JUST SLID INTO THE RING …. AND HE SLIDES OUT BEHIND RABESQUE!!! TACT CLOBBERS RABESQUE WITH A FOREARM! AND HERE COMES SHAWN HART!”
JIVE: “You knew this was going to happen eventually!!”
GHEORGHE: “HART FLIES THROUGH THE AIR AND TAKES TACT DOWN WITH A SPEAR!! HART WAILING AWAY ON THE FORMER WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!”
JIVE: “The referee doesn’t know what to do! The lumberjacks were supposed to be out here to make sure the action stayed in the ring … but they’re causing the action to intensify outside of it!”
GHEORGHE: “NOW GOP IS GETTING TO HIS FEET!! THE PHANTOM REPUBLICAN RIPS HART OFF LARRY TACT ….. RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP TO THE ARENA FLOOR!”
JULIUS: “The shit has hit the fan .. and the referee can’t do anything but watch!”
GHEORGHE: “GOP now walks over to Jonathan Marx … and he slides him into the ring!”
JIVE: “Thank God they’re going back into the ring!”
GHEORGHE: “Larry Tact is up … Jean Rabesque is up … AND NOW THEY’RE GOING AT IT! Both men exchanging rights and lefts… AND THE PHANTOM REPUBLICAN GRABS MARX WITH A SMALL PACKAGE!!! ONE ………. TWO ……………. THREE!!”
JIVE: “NOOOO!! MARX GOT OUT AT THE LAST SECOND!”
JULIUS: “Only because the referee was too focused on Tact and Rabesque to pay attention! He needs to do his damn job!”
GHEORGHE: “Larry Tact and Jean Rabesque still going at it on the outside … and Shawn Hart is getting up!! Hart is up and he turns …”
(SFX: HUGE JEERS!)
GHEORGHE: “AND DAYMON JUST CHARGED AT HIM WITH THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP AND KNOCKED HIM OUT COLD!”
JULIUS: “Daymon has the title!”
GHEORGHE: “AND DAYMON JUST TOSSED THE CHAMPIONSHIP INTO THE RING RIGHT AT THE FEET OF THE PHANTOM REPUBLICAN! GOP GRABS THE TITLE ….”
JIVE: “He’s waiting for Jonathan Marx to get to his feet!”
GHEORGHE: “MARX IS UP! Marx turns ….. AND GOP SWINGS THE TITLE AT HI… MARX DUCKED!! MARX DUCKED!! GOP SPINS … KICK TO THE GUT …. GOP DROPS THE TITLE …. AND JONATHAN MARX HITS THE JUMPING DDT ONTO THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!! The cover …. ONE ………………… TWO …………….. THREE!! HE DID IT!!”
JULIUS: “NO HE DIDN’T!!!”
GHEORGHE: “My God!! The referee signaling that it was only a two count! How did the Phantom Republican kick out?!?”
JIVE: “He’s the epitome of America, Gheorghe .. no communist pig is going to jack him out of the championship!”
GHEORGHE: “Marx back on his feet … and he’s resting against the ropes trying to think of what to do next .. he’s thrown a ton at the Phantom Republican .. but hasn’t been able to put this match away!”
(SFX: CROWD HISSES!)
GHEORGHE: “DAYMON!!! DAYMON FROM BEHIND JONATHAN MARX WITH A LOW BLOW FROM THE OUTSIDE!”
JULIUS: “Tact and Rabesque have brawled into the corner of the guardrail … Hart is out … so Daymon took it upon himself to make sure that this match stayed even!”
GHEORGHE: “STAYED EVEN?!”
JULIUS: “Marx used the World Heavyweight Championship against his opponent! He had the unfair advantage, Gheorghe!”
GHEORGHE: “That’s because GOP tried to use it on him!! GOP IS GETTING TO HIS FEET!!”
JIVE: “He’s a fighter, Gheorghe!”
GHEORGHE: “The Phantom Republican is on his feet now! Jonathan Marx stands straight …. BOOT TO THE GUT BY GOP …… AND HE PLACES MARX’s HEAD BETWEEN THE LEGS …. HE’s CALLING FOR THE MOAB!!”
JULIUS: “PUT THAT COMMIE SCUM AWAY!”
GHEORGHE: “GOP HOISTS MARX UP ONTO HIS SHOULD….”
(SFX: SWOOOSH~! SWOOOSH~!)
JULIUS: “NO!! SOMEONE TELL THOSE JETS TO STOP THAT!! GOP JUST DROPPED MARX!”
GHEORGHE: “GOP surprised by the two fighter jets that wizzed over the arena … and he dropped Marx to the mat!”
(The camera focuses on Nick Jive who is taking a chug of his “water” as a $100 bill floats onto his face. He picks it up..)
JIVE: “What the fuck?”
(All of a sudden … money begins to fall from the sky … it comes down in heaps all over the ringside area. Tact and Rabesque stop fighting as they watch the money poor down.)
GHEORGHE: “WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?! THERE IS MONEY FALLING FROM THE SKY!”
JULIUS: “Those fighter jets …. THEY DUMPED A SHITLOAD OF MONEY OVER THE ARENA!”
(SFX: The fans begin to scream and holler…. you hear a loud crash as the barrier on the far side of the ring is trampled over.)
GHEORGHE: “MY GOD!!! THE FANS!!! THEY ARE CHARGING THE RINGSIDE AREA!!!”
(Rabesque and Tact look horrified as the guardrail they were standing next to comes toppling over at their feet … they are quickly engulfed by hundreds of fans who charge through them!)
GHEORGHE: “NO!! WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?! THE FANS …. THE FANS ARE ENGULFING THE RINGSIDE AREA AS THEY FRANTICALLY SCRAMBLE TO PICK UP THE MONEY!!! THIS IS CHAOS!!”
JIVE: “I CAN’T BELI….”
(All of a sudden Jive’s mic cuts out as the fans behind the announce table hop over the top of him, knocking it off his head. Julius throws off his headset and pushes his way through the crowd trying to get to the rampway..)
GHEORGHE: “LADIES AND GENTLEMEN …. IT IS UTTER CHAOS!! THE FANS HAVE LITERALLY FILLED THE RINGSIDE AREA AND I CAN’T SEE ANYTHING!! I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY!!”
(SFX: CHOP-CHOP-CHOP-CHOP!)
GHEORGHE: “WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!! A HELICOPTER!! A HELICOPTER IS DESCENDING DOWN TO THE RING!! MY GOD …. I … DON’T KNO…”
(SFX: Gheorghe’s headset gets knocked off as he goes down in a blaze of glory as the fans finally push over him.. the camera cuts back as we see the giant mass of fans push and fight their way through each other trying to grab onto any bit of money they possibly can... We hear Gheorghe’s voice faintly as the microphone barely picks it up over the loud cries of the frantic crowd..)
GHEORGHE: “SECURITY!! SECURITY!! GET ME OUT OF HERE!! GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!”
(The helicopter descends to 20 feet over the ring as the wind caused by the propellers begin to blow money up into the air causing a whirlwind effect sending the crowd into even more of a frenzy. In the far corner we see Rabesque, Tact, Daymon and Hart high tailing it up the rampway, covering their heads.)
(SFX: CHOP-CHOP-CHOP-CHOP!)
(A drop ladder falls from inside the helicopter and a man hollers down. That man is Brandon Jacobs.. he is wearing a helmet and yells at Jonathan Marx who looks horrified at the carnage going on around the ring. Marx runs to the ladder before turning back to grab the World Heavyweight Championship off the mat. Marx grabs tightly onto the ladder as the helicopter begins its ascent.)
(SFX: The madness of the crowd as the grasp for the money on the arena floor drowns out the helicopter as it makes its way out of the arena. The camera cuts to a bottom shot of the copter … “PEOPLE’s LIBERATION ARMY” is painted on the bottom of the copter .. with the Chinese flag embedded next to it. Marx looks down as the crowd begins to pour into the ring trying to get anything they can find … The Phantom Republican looks around frantically trying to get away from the madness … he finds a hole and slides underneath the bottom ropes, fighting off some people as he runs to the ramp.)
(FADEOUT: As the mob in the ring gets larger. Finally we hear a snap … and the ring collapses. FADETOBLACK.)
