August 26, 2000

["Sic" by Slipknot begins to play beginning the night of HWF wrestling, as the screen expands to show the raging Pennsylvanians of Erie, PA chanting "HWF!" at the top of their lungs. Tim Miller and Jeff Robinson stand inside the ring, in the center of the drunken fans.]

Tim: ERIE, PENNSYLVANIA!!!

[Huge pop]

Tim: WELCOME TO SATURDAY SUICIDE!!!

[Another huge pop]

Tim: Jeff, let's see if you can not fuck this one up and show everyone you steal Gertner's lines… I'm Tim Miller…

Jeff: …and I will insist that you, Tim Miller, will shut the fuck up before I smack you like a two dollar whore!

[The fans pop for Jeff]

Jeff: … I am Jeff "I picked up a chick from Erie who said I am ten times better than Gertner. My dick is so large, I've got to hold back to keep from Hurtin`er"

[Another pop for Jeff.]

Jeff: ROBIN-MOTHER FUCKING-SON!!!

[The fans cheer as the announcers leave the ring and go to their table.]

["Oh Hell Yeah" by the H-BlockX hits the PA, bringing Blackjack to the ring, accompanied by his girlfriend and valet, Miss Stephanie.]

Tim: Blackjack will face Death to advance in the Canadian title tournament, right here and now!

[The lights go out in the arena as "Blame it on God" by Deicide blasts over the speakers. The fans begin to boo for all their worth as the most evil man in America steps onto the rampway. He is draped in his usual black attire, his barbed wire covered kendo stick. He walks slowly down the aisle as fans boo him and toss things. Death walks up the steps and through the ropes. He stands in crucification stance as flames shoot from the ring-posts.]

[Ding, Ding, Ding]

Tim: And here we go!

[Blackjack and Death walk towards each other, bumping chests. Blackjack trash talks Death, but Death just stands there, intimidating just by looks and mentality. Blackjack is a bit pissed that Death won't speak, so he shoves Death away. Death quickly walks right back into the face of Blackjack, still not speaking. Blackjack shoves him again, then Death retaliates with a right hand shot to the throat of Blackjack!]

Tim: Blackjack may have gotten more than he bargained for!

Jeff: Yeah, I think he poked the wrong, satanic, scary ass bear with a sharp stick…

[Death grabs the arm of Blackjack and whips him across the ring. Blackjack comes off the ropes and sidesteps a big boot from Death. Blackjack kicks Death right in the groin while his leg was still up!! Death stumbles backwards, holding himself. He falls into the ropes, the only thing holding him up. Blackjack charges at him and catches him with a clothesline, taking both men over the top rope and to the floor!]

Tim: The action has spilled to the outside.

[We cut backstage to see Commissioner Shawn Collins in his office, watching the action through his own television monitor. We then go back to the ring.]

Jeff: There's Triple C!

Tim: Yeah… It seems he's keeping his distance from the ring after that Vic Williams incident on Radioactive Wednesday.

Jeff: Who could blame him?

[Blackjack is up to his feet and immediately throws up the ring curtain. The crowd pops as Blackjack grabs ahold of a ladder and pulls it out. The crowd pops louder as Blackjack stands the ladder up rear the ring. Blackjack then grabs a chair and slides it into the ring. He pulls Death to his feet and connects with a right hand. Death retaliates with a right of his own. Death grabs Blackjack by the head and runs toward the ring pole, ramming him face first into the pole!]

Tim: Blackjack rammed straight into the pole!

[Death scoops Blackjack up and drops him throat first across the railing!]

Jeff: Ouch!

[Death then grabs Blackjack and literally drags him back towards the ladder. Miss Stephanie is shown a bit worried, looking on at the action.]

Jeff: I should go comfort Stephanie.

Tim: Oh shut up…

[Death lies Blackjack straight and begins to climb up the ladder.]

Jeff: Where's he going?

[Blackjack looks to have played opossum and leaps to his feet. He goes to the other side of the ladder, climbing up quickly. Death and Blackjack reach the top and begin to trade blows. Death nails Blackjack with a hard right, knocking him right off the ladder and into the ring! Death looks to be ready to dive on Blackjack when he gets up, but Miss Stephanie comes around the ring and climbs up the ladder on the same side as Death. He reaches up and punches Death square in the Apple Jacks!!]

Jeff & Tim: Yikes…

[The crowd boos as Stephanie gets down from the ladder, leaving Death in pain on the top. Blackjack sees his opportunity and grabs the chair in the ring. He unfolds the chair and sets it near the ropes, nearest Death. Blackjack goes to the opposite ropes, running full steam. He uses the chair as a springboard ala Sabu, dropkicking the ladder!!! The ladder leans, Death on top!!]

Tim: LOOK OUT!!

[The ladder falls towards the crowd, dropping Death right into the 5th row!!!]

Jeff: OH MY GOD!!!

[The fans scurry as Death is left on the steel chairs. Blackjack goes through the ropes to the outside and over the railing, pushing aside rabid fans. He reaches Death and grabs his hair, pulling him back towards the ring. He pushes Death over the railing and to the floor. Blackjack gets back over to the floor and rolls Death into the ring, following behind him.]

Tim: Death fell onto about 15 fans!!

[Blackjack picks up the chair and folds it flat, placing it over the chest of Death. Blackjack goes through the ropes to the apron, climbing the turnbuckles. He reaches the top and goes a cocky little arm raise, then leaps off connecting with a huge splash onto Death, with the chair in-between!]

Jeff: Big Splash!!

[Blackjack hooks the leg, bringing the ref to the mat.]

[One… …two… …three!]

Jeff: Yes!

Tim: Blackjack picks up the near flawless victory over Death! Death looks to still have some ring rust, but he should be back to normal soon.

Jeff: Hey, my sheet has "Esp. Clip" up next… Are we in Spanish now?

Tim: No, dumbass… We have "Espionage Goes Down Under"...

Jeff: So do I and the women love my 10inch tongue!!

Tim: Yeah, but we've got the Promotional tour footage that was supposed to be shown on Radioactive Wednesday but wasn't complete so we're showing it today!

Jeff: Australia-shmalia!

Tim: Look Jeff, there's ALOT of wrestling fans in Australia and it's untapped source of ratings.

Jeff: Your point?

Tim: My point is that YOU SUCK!

Jeff: Whoa!! Don't have a heart attack in your old age!

Tim: Let's just get on with the footage, ok?

[The HWF-Tron livens up with Tony Bradshaw standing backstage at the arena. He has a mic is clearing his throat and picking his nose...]

Tony Bradshaw: Are we on?

[The screen bobs up and down as Tony seems extremely embarrassed, he regains composure and speaks.]

Tony Bradshaw: As you all know our HWF Tag-Team champions; Espionage, have recently returned to the good 'ol USA after going to the land Down Under for a promotional tour for the HWF. They traveled from California to Australia and visited all the capitals on the east coast.

[A WWF-style "Mick Foley visits Asia" map comes up showing a little cartoon plane zooming from California, to a stop off at some islands then to the east coast of Australia. It then zooms up starting from Melbourne, in Victoria and moving up the east coast to Sydney in the New South Wales and Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory, it then moves up to Brisbane in Queensland the animation finishes.] Tony Bradshaw: Espionage visited all these capital cities to indulge in the Australian culture and to get the Croc wrasslin' fans into the Hardcore of the HWF! Let's go to some footage from their first stop in Melbourne.

[The HWF-Tron switches to Howitzer and Shrapnel in the middle of some crossroads in Melbourne, the camera zooms around and around them as seen in the movies. They walk down the street talking to random people on the way...]

Howitzer: Excuse me, excuse me, Mister!? Have you heard of the HWF?

Man: Yeah mate, whaddya want?

Howitzer: Have you heard of the HWF?

Man: HWF? No sorry mate, is that some sorta organization?!

Howitzer: Certainly is, mate, it's a wrestling organization in America. It's just recently started broadcasting on TV in Australia...

Man: That damn wrestling. My daughter is going to that WCW even here, it sold out in 90 minutes!! She's got front row, paid like $400 for them damn tickets too...she'll be paying me off for EVER!

Howitzer: We gotta keep moving, thanks for your time.

[It then shows random footage of their stay in Melbourne. It's got them trying to play Australian Rules Football (AFL) with some locals. Howitzer kicking the football about 15 meters, while some local pros kick it a good 60 meters. It's got footage of Shrapnel at a local AWF show. He's beating up guests Dennis Rodman and Curt Hennig who are in Australia for a tour with the "Superstars" of Wrestling event. It then cuts back to Tony...]

Tony Bradshaw: Well, for them Melbourne didn't prove too helpful for people knowing of the HWF. But we here would like to thank the AFL and AWF for helping out Espionage with their stay in your city. Next up was Sydney, the home of the 2000 Olympics...]

[The scene switches too Shrapnel with a CHEESY bow 'n arrow. He stands in some paddock in the middle of nowhere. After lighting the arrow on fire he shoots it into the sky. The picture then switches to a cartoon map where you see a little cartoon arrow flying across the state until the picture changes into a shot of the Olympic torch held at Stadium Australia. You see an arrow land in it and light up! Shot switches back to Shrapnel and he's jumpin' up and down in happiness. It then shows some footage of them walking down the streets of Sydney...]

[A teen comes running up to them with a "SCU 3:16" t-shirt on..]

Kid: Man!! It's a wrestler!!

Shrapnel: Yeah kid, we're from the HWF, heard of it before?

Kid: Certainly, it just started broadcasting here. It's Hard to the FUCKING core! We don't get ECW here so I can't compare!

Shrapnel: Do you know who we are then?

Kid: I think you're Michael Trey's friends. Last week you joined up with Trey didn't you? To fight the HWF's finest and the X-Tremists, right?

Shrapnel: Yeah, you got the first bit right. BUT...that was two MONTHS ago more like it, not two weeks. You guys must get it delayed here?

Kid: I suppose, that fucking sucks then. We never get ANY good wrestling here, it's only the f'n WWF and all the little poser kids watch that crap. Fucking Tazz is the only decent wrestler there.

Shrapnel: Here, here's a "Forgotten Souls - You'll NEVER forget" T-Shirt, wear with pride!

Kid: Thanks man!! Everything here is delayed, WWF is 2 weeks delayed. And seems the HWF is like two MONTHS delayed. That sucks!!

Shrapnel: Well we have to talk to our boss Chaz, and our other boss Drake, we can't allow two week delays. That'd SUCK for you guys!

Kid: Fuck oath!

Shrapnel: Well we gotta keep moving, anywhere you think we should head in Sydney?!

Kid: Dunno, check out the Stadium built for the Olympics I 'spose.

Shrapnel: Thanks...

Kid: No probs dude. Have a g'day, k?

Shrapnel: Peace out.

[It the switches to a autograph signing at a local wrestling store, there's quite a large turnout considering the little known HWF just spread to Australia only a month ago, but a small cult following has grown.]

Howitzer: And who may I sign this for?

Young Crazy Fan: Sign it, "Dear Tits - Love Howie D."

Howitzer: Howie D?! I'm not a fucking backstreet boy!!

Young Crazy Fan: Ooh, but you're sexy! Wanna come back to my house with my friends back there later?

[She turns and points back to a large group of screaming ladies, they've all got tongue piercings and dyed hair as Howitzer looks at Shrapnel with a cocked eyebrow.]

Howitzer: As nice as it sounds......we have to maintain prestige here!

Young Crazy Fan: Oh! Damn...worth a try, you've just got SUCH big feet.

Howitzer: I'm 6'10, I do have big feet, thank you so kindly!

Young Crazy Fan: You would been thanking me later if you came, you cannot describe what I can do with my tongue..

[She flicks it out, it down to her chin...quite remarkable....]

Howitzer: DAMN! Such a tempting offer.....lets go.

[Shrapnel looks over confused and keeps signing people, but Howitzer chucks a finished sign up and leaves with the girl and her group of friends.]

Shrapnel: HOWITZER!! WAIIIIIIIIIIT!! Noooooooooooooo!!!

[Howitzer turns around and gives him a thumbs up as Shrapnel just smirks and nods his head...the footage from the signing convention finishes as it switches to Tony again...]

Tony Bradshaw: Well at was a REMARKABLE day for the HWF, as the autograph session proved to be VERY GREAT. A large amount of people turned up to get their RARE merchandise signed and other things signed, so it seemed Sydney was a great place for the HWF. Next place was the capital of Australia, Canberra....

[The picture then switches to a shot showing the Australia Parliament House, where Shrapnel stands there beside one of the statues and strikes some Silky-esque poses for the camera. Some local skaters then skate past, illegally, across the private roads leading towards the APH. Howitzer then looks across and his eyes widen, he shrieks with joy and skips across to a little stall thingy.] Howitzer: Give us three meats on sticks, ANY meat on a stick will do!!

Stall Owner: I speak no English.. Howitzer: Give us all your money, biotch!!

Stall Owner: ARGH, I call police on you!!

Howitzer: Kidding, can I buy food or what?!

Stall Owner: Yes, but only Meat Pies and Chips.

Howitzer: Meat Pie heh? I've heard of them, give me two pies...

Stall Owner: You gotta have sauce on it!

Howitzer: Sauce?

Stall Owner: Yeah, ketchup..

Howitzer: Ooh, okay...I'll try anything.

Stall Owner: You're not from around here are you?

Howitzer: How'd you guess?! We're from America, down here for a promo tour for the wrestling organization we work for.

Stall Owner: Having a good time then?

Howitzer: Certainly am!

Shrapnel: What you buying?

Howitzer: Pie and Sauce.

Shrapnel: What?

Howitzer: Meat Pie and Ketchup.

Shrapnel: Give me one too, I've heard of these.

[The stall owner then gets four pies, which are about the size of the circle you make when you make a circle with both your hands by touching thumbs and index fingers. It's a pastry pie, with beef mince in the middle. The mince is in a sort of gravy type substance and is served HOT. Howitzer grabs his little sauce satchel squirts it on the top...]

Howitzer: Here goes, pie and sauce time!!!

[He takes a bite as his eyes open in pain and he jumps about a foot in the air...]

Howitzer: FUCK THAT'S HOT!!

Stall Owner: Just let it cool down then....

[The footage from there ends as it switches to a Australian pub, Howitzer and Shrapnel walk in...reminiscent of Moe's from the Simpsons with cheesy lighting and pool tables they walk up to the counter...]

Barman: Hey mates, whattle tickle your fancy tonight?

Howitzer: Got any Beer?

Barman: It is a pub, we stock ALL sorts of beer...

Shrapnel: We're not from around here, whaddya recommend?

Barman: Tooheys Red.

Howitzer: Well, I'll go first...gimme one of them.

[The Barman grabs a glass and fills it from the tap, he slides it to Howitzer who scoops it up and takes a sip.]

Howitzer: Um...

[Howitzer then turns and faces Shrapnel still with the beer in his mouth, he then lets it loose and sprays it at Shrapnel covering him..]

Howitzer: Tastes like...

Alcoholic: Cat Piss?

Howitzer: Yeah, good explanation!!

Alcoholic: He always gets new guys coming through, if you want a good beer...try Fosters. It's not Australian for Beer it's just a nice smooth beer that'll cap off a hard day.

Shrapnel: Gimme one of them then, revenge time!! Actually, what's XXXX?

Barman: Four X? It's a beer. Not a personal fave but still good none-the-less.

[The footage ends from the bar and switches to Tony again...]

Tony Bradshaw: Well, their stop in the Australian capital proved to be a great cultural experience, not very much wrestling based...their next and last stop was Brisbane. In the state of Queensland, it's apparently the state to go four tourists with nice beaches, hot weather, great surf and scantily clad women.

[Scene switches to that of Howitzer...with Shrapnel close by.]

Howitzer: We're here at a local zoo in the city of Brisbane, this is our last stop and it's been QUITE an experience. Everyone's nice here, and along the way...some great things have happened that we didn't get on camera. Australia seems to be quite a wrestling-hungry nation, with a lot of underground fans likin' the HWF and hardcore ways, they really want some more support here, it's not on enough channels or enough states. Shrapnel: Well we're here to visit some native wildlife, we've been around and had a look now lets show you guys.

[The walk a bit before stopping...]

Howitzer: This is the Kangaroo. It's actually a "Grey" kangaroo and it looks pretty pissed off at me. Apparently as you can see, it's using it's tail for balance and is in a fighting mood. It's kick can be quite lethal, and it can punch as well. Not a very nice animal if stuck face to face with in the wild. And it's DEFINATELY not a ridable creature to take to school on!

Shrapnel: As you can see, it's a pretty tall bastard and reminds me of newbie, Death. Big, tall, violent, angry but a brainless animal none-the-less.

Howitzer: Next is the Koala. Look at how cute it is...hello little Koala bear.

Shrapnel: Koala, it's Koala full stop remember?

Howitzer: Yeah, the Koala ISN'T a bear. It's a marsupial, fucked if I know what that means but it isn't a bear. But it eats leaves from the gum tree it's sitting on...

[Koala takes a leak...]

Shrapnel: And pisses on any tourists that are 6'10 and ugly that walk buy.

Howitzer: Yeah, well moving on....

Shrapnel: And this is the Crocodile. It's a Salt Water Croc, meaning it lives in Salt Water...

[The camera zooms up to show it's feeder, it's feeding time and he chucks like a whole pig from the top of the tank. It goes flying down to the area where the water and crocs are, as you see a huge croc go flying out of the water and snatch the whole pig in it's mouth. It then dives deep down outta view.]

Howitzer: Quite violent, it's snatching that meat like there's no tomorrow....

Shrapnel: Kinda like Tasha Justice...

Howitzer: No, she snatches ANY meat like there's no tomorrow....I've still got her lip-stick bedside....

[The camera then switches back to Tony Bradshaw...]

Tony Bradshaw: Well, we couldn't show you ALL of the things that happened in Australia. But we shown you most of the things stereotypical of Australia and clarified a few things, it amazing how wrong we Americans are about Aussie Land but it's all good....and it was a great first in a long line of promo tours for the HWF and I hope you all enjoyed it as much as Espionage did when they were there....

[The HWF-Tron finishes as picture returns to Tim and Jeff...]

Tim: Wake up JEFF!!!

Jeff: Wha?...Huh?!... Where am I?!

Tim: You're commentating a HWF event.

Jeff: Has that stupid, boring thing finished?

Tim: Yes.

Jeff: THANK GOD!! That's the most boring I've EVER seen Espionage...

Tim: I thought you didn't like them!?

Jeff: I don't, but that was extremely terrible.

Tim: They weren't supposed to be funny, it was a promo tour... not a "cut-a" promo tour.

Jeff: So?

Tim: So they didn't use the steps found in "The Lethal Alliances guide to promo cutting"

Jeff: That was lame...

Tim: ANYWAY...

["5 Minutes Alone" is blasted onto the speakers. The drums kick in, then intro plays. Shrapnel walks out loosening up. Then the intro finishes and a atomic explosion is played. He walks strait out to the apron. Shrapnel then rolls in and pulls on the ropes to warm up.]

Tim: Shrapnel looks ready for a fight.

[The lights go out as "Circus" by (hed) pe begins, signaling the entrance of Frank Rizzo. A few moments pass but Rizzo doesn't show.]

Jeff: Rizzo isn't around?

["Clubbed to Death" hits the PA, bringing the Commissioner Shawn Collins out to the top of the entranceway. He picks the microphone to his mouth.]

Shawn: Fans, I am sorry to announce Frank Rizzo has not shown up for this match and thus we must give Shrapnel the win. So please ring the bell and start the match.

[The bell sounds as the ref begins his count.]

One! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven! Eight! Nine! Ten!

[The ref tells them to ring the bell, and it sounds. Shrapnel looks pissed as he has no match. Suddenly the mysterious man in black, carrying the Canadian flag across his back jumps from the crowd! He dives in the ring and nails Shrapnel from behind with a forearm to the back of the head. Shrapnel falls to the mat as the man points to Shawn Collins, still in the entranceway, then performs the cut throat gesture. Collins looks a bit frightened and heads to the back.]

Tim: That man has it out for Shawn Collins!

[Shrapnel is back to his feet and swings the man in black around and kicks him in the gut. Shrapnel puts him in a standing head scissors and lifts him vertical and cradles both legs of the masked man, DRILLING him with a wicked cradle piledriver!!]

Jeff: What a piledriver!!

["5 Minutes Alone" hits again as the fans cheer Shrapnel to the back.]

[A bit of smoke fills the Entry way when "Tattered and Torn" by Slipknot blasts onto the Speakers. As the Music gets louder and more smoke fills the Entry way, you then here "KILL ME!" come on and out comes Grimace he's wearing his usual attire, black cargo pants with Black Lugz shoes with special purple stripes on them, black cut off gloves, his "Fear The Reaper" T-shirt, it black with a purple Punisher skull on the front and on the back it says "Fear The Reaper" in big bold Purple Spray Pant Font. Grimace's Tuque as always is covering his purple hair. and you can see the unused part from his belt sticking out as well. Grimace comes out of the Entry way with Cigarette in Mouth. He takes a huge puff from it and blows all the smoke out from his last puff. He then flicks it away and begins to walk to the ring. Then you can see Kay right behind him. Grimace is walking slowly with his right hand in his pocket and he's still blowing smoke out from his nose and mouth. They finally make it to the ring and Grimace opens up the ropes for Kay and then Grimace enters the Ring. He goes to the opposite side of the ring and sits down, laying against the bottom rope and looking at the Entrance. Kay is sitting on the middle rope beside him and gives him a kiss. She then gets out of the ring as "Tattered and Torn" begins to die down a bit and after a few more seconds it stops completely.]

Tim: Grimace in full effect on Saturday Suicide!!

Jeff: Yeah, but he's no match for the Sexmachine...

[The camera pans around the ring where you see tables surrounding the ring. The "Pimp Superstar" remix by Cypress Hill hits the speakers and Silky Palms comes walking out to the ring. He is still a little bandaged, probably some from Wednesday too. Silky walks down to the ring slowly and then hops in. He stands across from Grimace and rests against the corner. both men look at the tables on the outside of the ring.]

Tim: And remember, folks, this match is a No DQ Tables match. Anything Goes!

[The bell sounds and Silky walks out towards the center of the ring. Grimace steps out and meets him halfway. Silky says something to Grimace and then starts firing away with lefts and rights. Grimace reels back into the corner and then comes out and kicks Silky right in the groin. The crowd starts to boo Grimace and the ref starts to interrogate him.]

Jeff: Hey what’s that?

Tim: I told you Jeff, this match is no DQ…

[Grimace walks over to Silky and brings him to his feet. He lays in a couple of kicks and then Irish whips him to the corner. Silky goes hard into the buckles and stumbles out back towards Grimace. Grim waits on him and kicks him in the gut. Silky doubles over and Grimace quickly DDT’s him on the mat. As the ref checks on Palms, Grimace slides to the outside and folds up one of the tables. He slides it into the ring and gets back in himself.]

Tim: I wonder what Grimace has planned here…

[Grimace sets up the table near the corner and walks back over to Silky. Silky lays in a couple punches to the gut but Grimace axehandles him down to the mat. Grimace quickly gets Silky to his feet and whips him to the ropes. Silky bounces off and ducks a clothesline, and comes back with a standing side kick. The echo from his boot is heard throughout the arena.]

Jeff: Silky Shuffle! He hit it!

Tim: Silky still looks a bit out of it…

[Silky stomps Grimace a few times and then gets him to his feet. He pulls Grimace over and sets him right on the table that Grimace had setup earlier. Silky hops onto the apron and starts scaling the ropes. When he reaches the top, Grimace quickly slides off the table and crotches Silky right on the turnbuckle. Grimace gets up to the second turnbuckle and attempts to get Silky in a superplex. Both men struggle a bit and then Grimace blatantly throws Silky to the outside THROUGH TWO TABLES!!]

Tim: Oh no! Silky through the tables!!

Jeff: That was right up in front of us Tim!!

[Silky is motionless on the outside and Grimace calls for a chair. A ring attendant grabs one and throws one up to him. Grimace stands on the top rope and looks down at Silky. Silky starts to stand up and Grimace dives off the top rope, attempting some sort of shoulder block with the chair. Silky, however, dives onto the announcer’s table and Grimace goes crashing through the rubble. Silky rolls onto Tim and Jeff.]

Jeff: What’s up Sexmachine?

Tim: Hey, take it in the ring!!

[Silky just groans a little as he rolls onto the concrete and crawls back towards the ring. The ref comes to the outside and helps Grimace up. Silky slides a chair into the ring and then all three men get back in. Silky sets up the chair in the middle of the ring and picks up Grimace. He whips Grimace to the ropes, past the chair, and then drop toe holds him right onto the chair’s back. The crowd gasps as the chair folds up p Grimace starts holding his jaw in pain. Silky rolls on top of him.]

Tim: Drop Toe Hold, this could be it!!

[One… …Two… …Th-KICKOUT!!]

Jeff: Oh, Two and Three-Quarters…

[Silky picks up Grimace and locks him in suplex position. He attempts a snap suplex but Grimace doesn’t move. Silky attempts again but same outcome. Grimace plants a low knee and lifts Silky up vertical into suplex. From there, Grimace drops him forward, as if for a gordbuster, but instead catches him in a double arm DDT.]

Jeff: Oh, what a move by The Purple Freak!!

[Grimace walks over to the table again and sets it up within reaching distance of the turnbuckles. He grabs Silky and throws him on top again. Grimace hops over the table and starts climbing up the turnbuckles, on the inside. Silky starts to stir, just as Grimace reaches the second rope. This time, Silky low blows Grimace and Grimace leans back; almost falling onto the tables on the outside. Silky pops up to his feet, on the table, and brings Grimace onto the top rope; facing the ring.]

Tim: What the hell is Silky Palms doing?

Jeff: I have no clue…

[Silky steadies Grimace on the top rope and then locks on a ¾ facelock. The crowd starts to stir a bit as Silky screams out "SILK STREEM" as loud as he can. Silky dives forward and lands in front of the table, while Grimace goes straight through it with a Diamond Cutter. The crowd starts to go crazy as Silky rolls over Grimace.]

Tim: Modified Silk Streem from the top through the tables!!

Jeff: WHAT A MOVE!!

[One… …Two… …Three!!]

Tim: It’s over!!

["Pimp Superstar" by Cypress Hill hits again and Silky rolls out of the ring and starts walking to the back. Suddenly J. Simon Rykopathe comes out from the back with a flaming chair in hand! Silky stops in mid stride, seeing Rykopathe coming down the aisle. Silky begins running towards Rykopathe. "The Icon" swings wildly at Silky who ducks the oncoming flaming chair. Rykopathe turns to a kick from Silky, dropping the chair.]

Tim: Rykopathe is here with a flaming chair!

[Silky applies a standing head scissors and tries to lift Rykopathe, but "The Icon" blocks it. Rykopathe reverses it into a back body drop onto the flaming chair!!!]

Jeff: "The Icon" dropped Silky on that flaming chair!!

[The chair goes out as Rykopathe grabs Silky by the head and rolls him into the ring. As Rykopathe gets into the ring, Blackjack appears from the back! Blackjack runs to the ring and dives in. Blackjack goes right to kicking Silky!! Rykopathe and Blackjack grab Silky and whip him to the ropes. Blackjack and Rykopathe catch Silky and slam him in a double spinebuster/powerbomb type slam!! The fans boo as Blackjack and Rykopathe stare at each other.]

Tim: Is this a team in the making?!

[Blackjack shatters all hopes of that, fingering Rykopathe!! He falls backwards through the ropes and to the floor, walking to the back. Rykopathe goes outside and grabs a steel chair and dives back in the ring, ignoring Blackjack. Rykopathe unfolds the chair and pulls Silky's head onto it, from the side. Rykopathe goes through the ropes to the apron and begins making his ascent to the top turnbuckle.]

Jeff: What is he doing?!

[Rykopathe reaches the top then leaps off, nailing a NASTY guillotine leg drop onto Silky's NECK on the CHAIR!!!]

Jeff: OH… MY… GOD!!!

Tim: HOLY SHIT!!!

[Silky's body falls limp to the mat as the crowd chants "HOLY FUCK!"]

Tim: GET SOME HELP OUT HERE!! NOW! Silky's neck has GOT to be broken!!

[Rykopathe gets up and begins to laugh as he makes his way to the back, passing a team of EMTs pulling a stretcher to the ring. They dive in and check out Silky, who is talking but not moving. They slowly put him on a backboard and a neck brace, loading him onto the gurney.]

Jeff: Silky's neck may be broken… He may be PARALYZED!

Tim: Let's not think the worst… He just needs some medical attention immediately.

[The stretcher goes through the curtain.]

Tim: We'll be right back...

[Commercials]

Tim: We're back.. Silky has been taken to the nearest hospital, log on to the HWF's official web site, www.hard2thecore.com, for details on his injury..

Jeff: I hope he'll be okay..

Tim: Me too, Jeff… Me too.

[Iron Man" by Black Sabbath plays and "The Hardcore Hero" Rick Faith and Rose walk out a few steps and they both stop and wait by the entrance way. Rick is wearing a referee muscle-t with black jeans. Rose gives an evil look around the audience and Faith puts his hands out to each side looking like a cross. They walk down to the ring talking to each other. They enter the ring through the ropes and Faith sit on the turnbuckle and awaits the other referee.]

Tim: I wonder where Faith's head is at after what went down on Wednesday.

Jeff: Well, he better not take it out on Taj!

["Black" by SeVendust hits the speakers and J. Simon Rykopathe appears in the entranceway, to a HUGE pop from the crowd. Rykopathe is also wearing a black and white striped referee muscle-t, but is wearing 3/4 cut blue jeans. He walks down to the ring, slapping a few hands here and there. He slides into the ring and walks straight up to Faith. The two exchange a few words and then Rykopathe walks out of the ring. His music fades out.]

Tim: It looks like Rykopathe is gonna be the special enforcer outside of the ring.

Jeff: What, is this the WWF?

Tim: Jeff!

[The lights turn red and the sound of "Fame" by DMX fills the arena. Clips of Taj Pearce start playing on the big screen and then the lights go black as Taj and Brooke come out from the back and make their way to the ring with the lights gradually changing from black to red. Brooke walks behind Taj as Taj starts to lower the roof, because way too many people have raised it. He gets to the ring and slides in under the bottom rope. He bounces off the ropes a few times ala Val Venis and then smiles over at Faith.]

Tim: Taj Pearce everybody!!

Jeff: I like this guy, too bad he's with Rykopathe now.

[The roaring HWF crowd, stirs in anticipation, as the opening riff of "Save Yourself" by Stabbing Westward plays, the fans blend in noise, as green pyros abruptly go off, as the Canadian born, "Vicious" Vic Williams steps out and stalks down the isle. Piercings shine from his nose, lip, and right eyebrow, and his black military boots slightly flicker, under the strobe lights. Fitted in black tights, with a purple and silver, gothic like barbwire design run up his legs, and his bare chest bares all his tattoos. Black designs under his eyes can be noticed, as he runs down the aisle, and enters the ring, his black trenchcoat trailing behind, he stands in the ring, arms outward, head tilted to the sky, as the lights, flash back on.]

Tim: Hey, look over there!

[Vic walks up to Faith and whispers something to him. Faith nods his head and then calls for the bell. The bell sounds and Vic charges at Taj. Taj kicks him in the gut and goes for a DDT, but Vic turns it around into a hammerlock and then into a headlock. Taj backs him to the ropes and then throws him to the ropes. Vic bounces off and Taj slams him to the mat with a Faarooq-speed powerslam. Vic gets up real quick but Taj meets him with another kick to the gut. Taj bounces off the ropes, behind Vic, goes for a bulldog; but in midair turns it into a DDT.]

Tim: Oh, nice move there by Pearce!

Jeff: Ugh, who do I root for?

[Taj picks up Vic and shoves Vic's own arm in-between his legs like a pumphandle. Taj proceeds to reach through the opening and apply a half nelson. He picks up Vic halfway, walks towards the corner, drops him to the ground and then throws him over in a crippling suplex. He bridges with it.]

Jeff: Diamante Killer 2000!!

[Rick Faith wipes his hand on his ref shirt and then slowly drops to his knees.]

[One..... ......Tw-KICKOUT!!]

Tim: Slow count!!

[Taj pops up to his feet and starts yelling at Faith. Rykopathe hops onto the apron and yells at Faith too. Rick acts like he didn't do anything wrong. Vic crawls over and rolls Taj up, Faith flops onto the ground.]

Tim: Quick pin...

[One.. Two... KICKOUT!!]

Jeff: What the hell is going on here?

Tim: Faith is trying to screw over Taj, that's what's happening!!

[Rykopathe hops into the ring and pushes Faith into the corner. Vic gets up and starts stomping Taj. Rykopathe starts to yell at Faith and then forces him to the outside. Vic picks up Taj and slaps on a standing head scissors. He lifts up Taj for a powerbomb but Taj punches his way out of it. Vic goes for a quick clothesline but Taj ducks. Pearce turns around but Vic slaps on a choke and lifts Taj into the air. From there, Vic sweeps Taj's legs with his free hand and send him down onto the back of his neck.]

Tim: Sweet Lord...

Jeff: That was the Chainsaw Sweep!! Wonderful...

[Vic stomps Taj a few times as Rykopathe checks up on him. Vic pulls Taj to his feet and whips him into the far corner. Taj goes in face first and comes out backwards. Vic catches him and attempts a back suplex. Taj backflips onto his feet and locks on a full nelson. He attempts a dragon suplex but Vic blocks it and low blows Taj. He collapses and Rykopathe runs over to Vic and starts giving him the 3rd degree. Vic tries to ignore him and picks Taj up to his feet.]

Tim: "Vicious" Vic is really bending the rules tonight...

[Vic starts chopping Taj back towards the ropes. He grabs an arm and Irish whips him to the other side. Taj bounces off and Vic leapfrogs him. Vic starts running the same way Taj came from, and Pearce stops. Taj drops to the mat and Vic runs over him. Williams bounces off the other ropes and Taj gets up and goes for a leapfrog. Vic tries to catch him in a powerbomb but Taj whips him down with a stiff hurricanrana. Vic pops up and Taj runs against the ropes. Taj comes off and Vic throws him up into the air with a pancake toss. Amazingly, Vic catches him and slams him down with a Michinoku Driver.]

Jeff: Holy shit!!

Tim: Pancake Toss into the original Last Rites!!

Jeff: Holy-

Tim: We heard you the first time...

[Vic drops the leg a couple of times and then hops on Taj for a pin. Rykopathe gets down as fast as any other referee.]

Tim: Here it is...

[One... ...Two... ..Th-KICKOUT!!]

Jeff: Now, that was a fast count!

Tim: No it wasn't!!

[Faith slides in the ring and pushes Rykopathe. The Icon turns around and immediately punches Faith right in the jaw. Faith flops down to the ground. And Vic taps Rykopathe on the shoulder. Rykopathe turns around but then Vic gets low blowed by Taj, to a HUGE pop from the crowd. All four men start brawling in the center of the ring, and the crowd is going crazy.]

Jeff: Refs fighting refs, wrestlers fighting wrestlers, what the hell is going on?

Tim: THIS IS ANARCHY!!

Jeff: You can say that again...

[Rykopathe and Taj both gain control and back Faith and Vic to the ropes. Both men send them to the other side and go for a back body drop. Vic and Faith put on the brakes and attempts a powerbomb. Neither Taj or Rykopathe budge.]

Tim: Uh oh...

[Taj lifts up Vic for a belly to back tombstone as The Icon reverses it into a standing fireman's carry. The crowd pops as both Taj and Rykopathe yell something out. Vic reaches around Taj's body and hammers him right in the nuts. Taj drops him down again and Vic quickly lifts him into a Canadian backbreaker rack. The Icon attempts to swing Faith into a Michinoku Driver but Faith reverses it right into a fall forward inverted DDT; just as Vic plants Taj with a Sitdown Dominator.]

Tim: Drop to Hell, along with the Sideshow!!

[Vic turns Taj over and yells at Faith. Rick looks over and then slides over by the two.]

[One... Two.. .Three!!]

Tim: HEY!

[Faith calls for the bell and Vic rolls out of the ring. Rykopathe gets to his feet and chases Faith out of the ring. Rykopathe checks up on Taj just as "Save Yourself" by Stabbing Westward hits the speakers.]

Jeff: Well, that's it for us this week...

Tim: Join us on Wednesday for the first half of the Semifinals of the Canadian Title Tournament. See you then.

[Vic hops the guardrail and starts walking through the crowd. The Icon stares at him as Taj begins to get up. Faith scurries away from ringside. Rykopathe and Pearce starts talking amongst themselves as the screen fades to black.]
