WFW Paradise Lost: Intro

[PaulNJ21]

[An illustrious fireworks display goes off and the capacity crowd at Fenway Park comes unglued, the WFW cameras pan the audience, in the stands and on the field, wearing Manson, Copycat, and LOVE apparel. The camera focuses in on one man waving a L.O.V.E. flag back and forth.]

[BROADCAST BOOTH]

BRANDON JACOBS: WELCOME EVERYONE TO PARADISE LOST! This is going to be a hell of a newsworthy show. We have Copycat taking on Scotty Michaels in a steel cage as agreed on by both performers with the winner being able to eliminate the other from the World Heavyweight Title match or name their own stipulation, Psycho is putting up his WFW North American Heavyweight Title on the line against Golem, six of the biggest stars in WFW history are going to be facing off in an actual bar room brawl, and tonight is the night when the Inner Circle finally arrives.

JONATHAN MARX: So much good stuff on tonight’s show, it is like tonight should be a PPV as well… but I am really excited about this Inner Circle group, while my father won’t tell me who is coming in, he says it is going to be one of the biggest happenings in two or three years in wrestling.

VIC WATERS: Who is left that the WFW actually wants?

JONATHAN MARX: I have heard rumors that WFW might be interested in Shane Southern…. The old fogies in the back also have said they would love to see Mike Randalls come in and possibly renew his classic matches with Anarky from the NGEN days… Maybe the current NEW World Heavyweight Champion Jean Rabesque so Jared Wells could get a hold of him….

VIC WATERS: Maybe this is the long awaited CSWA vs. NGEN feud and CSWA is going to come in to lead an Old, Old School Revolution.

JONATHAN MARX: In reverence to the old and senile NGEN and BAD owner Mister Miller, we aren’t going to run that angle until he is dead because it would kill him.

BRANDON JACOBS: When there is money to be made, you never know. But I really have no clue who it could be.... I HAVE IT! Maybe it is the FMLL!

JONATHAN MARX: That would rock, I wish I had time in my schedule to wrestle there because I love the Lucha Libre and that is a really fun group. It is a shame it isn’t bigger than it is because it is a top quality fed which deserves much more attention than it gets. But from what I have been told, it isn’t FMLL sadly….

BRANDON JACOBS: Damn it.

VIC WATERS: Maybe Doc Silver is coming back to take his title away from Manson and this time he is bringing backup…

JONATHAN MARX: Doc Silver was the best wrestler of the late 1990s, GUNS couldn’t hold a candle to him. He always took a beating, but he always figured out a way to beat you. He use to design these elaborate plans By far, he was the smartest wrestler ever to step into the squared circle. If he had backup, he’d be impossible to beat.

BRANDON JACOBS: I’d love to see Doc back but he is making plenty of money off of Survivor now. If he ever came back, it would probably be someplace where he’d wrestle an easier schedule and WFW can be hectic.

JONATHAN MARX: I’ll say.

BRANDON JACOBS: Lets get back to things we know, we have a hell of a show tonight. We are going to kick off the show with Iron Lion taking on WFW President Sean Edmunds, a man who has never been pinned.

JONATHAN MARX: Iron Lion is coming off his epic encounter with Jared Wells where both men took a hell of a beating but Iron Lion is looking to make an impact tonight against Edmunds and all of his meddling in other people’s affairs like he did with Copycat. Hopefully Edmunds get his.

VIC WATERS: Edmunds is a fair and just President and it is a shame that you have some pro-Copycat agenda which keeps you from seeing that because Edmunds is a good man.

JONATHAN MARX: He has let LOVE run wild all over the place, he has actively worked to keep Copycat down…. The man is drunk with power. He is just doing things for his own **** and giggles. How can you be a President if you have a reckless disregard for your fellow wrestlers and the fans at home paying to see you wrestle?

VIC WATERS: So are you saying that Edmunds is a worse President than Wylde who had a glass ceiling installed in his office?

JONATHAN MARX: Well, no, no I am not.

VIC WATERS: So you are telling me that Edmunds is the greatest President WFW has ever had…

JONATHAN MARX: Yes, yes he is… BUT THERE HAS ONLY BEEN TWO!

VIC WATERS: Details, details…

BRANDON JACOBS: Moving on to our next match, the number one contenders from the PPV, El Arco Iris and Felix Red will be in a three way with Luster who made a victorious comeback against Shawn Hart at the PPV.

JONATHAN MARX: Felix Red really should have walked out of the PPV WFW World Heavyweight Champion but Manson somehow managed to pull the match out. If they ever meet again, Manson may not be so lucky. El Arco Iris also came damn close to winning his match against Psycho until Rat Fink interfered after he was eliminated.

VIC WATERS: Luster is the unknown variable in this match. He beat a well rested Shawn Hart. Maybe the time off for Luster allowed him to finally fully heal and it will mark his arise into the World Title mix.

BRANDON JACOBS: A win here, a win there and you are right into the title mix. Luster has a way of making things happen so I never underestimate him when he is in the ring.

JONATHAN MARX: He has been the center of so much controversy in his career, it is almost a shock when he isn’t.

BRANDON JACOBS: Lets move on to the WFW North American Title match, after Psycho’s actions at WWF Pandamonium, Chris Wink gave Golem the opportunity to choose the opponent of his choice, Jared Wells or the man who butted into his business after being teamed together in some wild tags, Psycho and he decided to he wanted to get his hands on Psycho and the WFW North American Title.

JONATHAN MARX: This was sort of a no brainer, Psycho and Golem’s story has been intermixed since the first day Golem came into the fed and he wants to get his revenge. I think Golem has a hell of a shot to beat Psycho, but Psycho is coming off one of the biggest wins in his WFW career and the last time he won Falls on the Mall, he was so beat up he wound up losing his title back to Doc Silver.

VIC WATERS: Falls on the Mall is a brutal match which takes its toll on all competitors. Doc was never the same after it which ultimately led to him having to take time off away from the sport entirely. Things should be quiet interesting tonight.

BRANDON JACOBS: That is going to be a hell of a match, but I think a match that may be even better is the Bar Room Brawl across the street from Fenway Park in a local tavern with the WFW World Heavyweight Champion Michael Manson joining up with Mike Lane who are two of the toughest SOBs in WFW, against the newly formed alliance of Shawn Hart & Richard Gideon who put Larry Tact out on the shelf, and last but not least the BAD World Heavyweight Champion Jared Wells and the best brawler of all time, Anarky. Who do you think is going to win Jonathan?

JONATHAN MARX: I have no idea who is going to win, this is going to be sheer and utter chaos and I expect the match to get very wild.

VIC WATERS: Poor Fenway fans are going to have to watch this on the Jumbotron.

BRANDON JACOBS: You can’t exactly do a bar room brawl at Fenway Park… we are going to make it up to them with the autographs at intermission and the Inner Circle arriving tonight. Who is your pick to win the bar room brawl?

VIC WATERS: I am not sure, but we should head over there and call the match from the heat of the action to give the fans the perspective from the lion’s den itself.

JONATHAN MARX: You just want to go over there and do some drinking during all of the chaos.

VIC WATERS: It is a bar… and I am a couple of years over twenty one. But think what an experience that would be if we right there as beer bottles were being swung.

JONATHAN MARX: Jacobs has a bad neck, even if he wanted to, he really shouldn’t be around all that violence. He could get clunked on the back of the head.

VIC WATERS: Aww, you are no fun.

JONATHAN MARX: It just isn’t safe.

BRANDON JACOBS: If you want, you two could go over to the bar and I could stay here, I wouldn’t mind a little break.

JONATHAN MARX: Alright Vic, we’ll go over, I’ll take over play by play from Brandon and you can do color.

VIC WATERS: Works for me…

BRANDON JACOBS: Just don’t get foresnookered, the old fogies get uptight about that.

VIC WATERS: I can hold my liquor thank you…

BRANDON JACOBS: Last but not least, in one of the rare occasions where our WFW North American Title match will not be ending the show, Copycat will be squaring off against Scotty Michaels in a steel cage in a Paradise Lost and this one is going to be violent because both men are trying to hold on to their WFW World Heavyweight Title shots and get the gimmick match of their choice when they square off against Manson.

JONATHAN MARX: It would be an absolute travesty if after all Copycat has done to earn this title shot he lost it to Michaels so I hope and I pray that it isn’t in Scotty Michaels hands to decide.

VIC WATERS: Bah, I am tired of your pro-Copycat agenda. I hope Scotty Michaels beats him and votes Copycat off the island. Although I could see Scotty Michaels asking for a cage match at the PPV because that was the match in which he won Manson’s WFW North American Title off of him.

BRANDON JACOBS: I could see that too. These two have long history together, the last time these men were in a match like this it was last Thanksgiving and Scotty Michaels managed to outlast Copycat in the four way to get the WFW World Heavyweight Title shot against Shawn Hart and he screwed him out of the title at Merrython.

VIC WATERS: That made my Christmas.

JONATHAN MARX: I am sure it did you Scrooge. But I have a feeling history won’t repeat itself…

BRANDON JACOBS: I am not sure which way that match will go, but I hope to god Copycat gets it. There is only one way to find out though, folks, we are going to take a short commercial break, but after we comeback, we will have results from the three dark matches for the Fenway crowd we couldn’t air because of time constraints. STAY TUNED!
