March Madness 2011
~Megavision~
A hop, skip and jump into focus brings us to just outside the arena for tonight’s Rebel Pro event. We’re just in time to see Johnny Maverick pull up on his fancy Captain America themed Chopper (the bike, not the helicopter. Turning up in a vehicle like that would be ridiculous). He parks, kicks down the stand and doesn’t take off his helmet because he’s not wearing one, what with being equal parts noble and badass.
He then turns his head toward the building and takes a drag off the air, savouring the moment.
It’s all very dramatic, and needs something to lighten the mood.
Conveniently then, an unearthly rumbling noise draws the camera off of Maverick and onto the pitch black, four wheeled, armour plated monstrosity dragging its way toward us, baring its teeth and blazing red eyes. The ears hanging off it are a little less intimidating.
It comes dangerously close to giving us a very one sided main event before taking a sharp handbrake turn and pausing in front of Maverick, who barely even blinks. This is likely due to the large pink LIZATANNA splattered across its side and emblazoned with stars for good measure. She always did like stars.
There’s a good few seconds before it finally makes a noise, a tremendous honk of its horn that ranges somewhere on a growl if APCs could growl, and cause Johnny to give it a gentle wave in reply. Shortly after, the hatch pops open.
LIZATANNA: What’s up Jizz-Mizzle! How do you like The Bunny Rabbit? Pretty sweet, huh?
Johnny let’s out a whistle that gets completely drowned under the roar of the engine. She doesn’t bother to turn it off.
LIZATANNA: So… you know how your career in Rebel has been made up of continuous failures every time you get near a world title?
Johnny nods and gives a look that seems to imply he’d rather not think about.
LIZATANNA: Your whole career in fact. Just one long string of fuck ups.
Liza gaves off to the stars for a moment. There’s probably a montage playing in her head. A montage of Jacob Venar, Riona Langly and JT Whiplash and various others kicking his ass. It’s a montage he’d rather she not be watching, and so he snaps his fingers to bring her back around.
LIZATANNA: ANYWAY! I figured you could use an added incentive. So if you win tonight… I’m totally going to flash you my boobs.
For a man who sees a fair amount of free boob, the idea of winning some boob seems to peak his interest. He doesn’t seem to notice that her fingers are crossed.
LIZATANNA: And if you lose again.
She pats the side of the Bunny Rabbit.
LIZATANNA: I’m going to run you over.
Liza doesn’t bother to cross her fingers this time.
JOHNNY MAVERICK: Ok…
Johnny takes a second to scratch his head.
JOHNNY MAVERICK: So… you alone in there.
LIZATANNA: Yeah. I invited Spyke… Man. Spykeman, but I guess he decided against it. I guess he hates you or something.
JOHNNY MAVERICK: Oh.
He looks a little disappointed.
JOHNNY MAVERICK: Well, thanks. And good luck tonight. Oh, and try not to drive through the wall or anything before I break off both Vener’s arms.
LIZATANNA: Don’t worry; I’m your wingman Maverick.
She gives him a salute, having wanted to say that for a fairly long time. In reply he gives her a wave and walks off toward the building; Liza thinks about parking and we cut back inside.
Brand new and silvery barbed wire creeps across the screen as the guitar chords to Johnny Cash’s version of “Hurt” begins to fill the speakers of the television in your home, the speakers on your computer, and in the speakers in the arena. Megavision is on and the crowd is pumped but you don’t hear any of that, all you hear is the guitar being played.
I hurt myself today
to see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
Jason Christopher is shown standing in the what appears to be an abandoned church as he speaks silently to his opponents this week.
the only thing that’s real
the needle tears a hole
the old familiar sting
Average Joe Smythe steps through the door at the Rebel Arena, looking up into the camera that is trained on him as he comes to work in Rebel Pro for the first time in his career.
try to kill it all away
but I remember everything
what have I become?

Fans are shown standing outside as they wait to come into the building and the silvery strands of barbed wire continually wind around and around the screen like some sharp snake.

Zwart leaps off going for a top rope leg drop… Scottie rolls out of the way just in time! Snow slowly gets to his feet, Zwart gets to his a second after. Snow heads out side the ring to grab a chair but has it yanked from his hands by David Fiore. Snow turns to confront Fiore but Zwart grabs his head from over the top rope and throws him back into the ring. Snow gets dragged back to his feet… And Darth Zwart hits The Dark Side! Cover…

Ding, ding, ding.
JENNY JERSEY: And here is your winner, Darth Zwart!

Lizatanna! then pulled a barbed wire bunny out of her hat and proceeded to beat Jaice with it, but he was able to capture the rabbit and shove it into her face regaining control.
Jaice slapped her chest with a few back hands before she managed to hip toss him onto the table and nail him with a dozen stiff elbow strikes. It probably wasn’t really a dozen.
Jaice rolled through sprung off the middle rope and delivered a hurricanrana to Lizatanna! But she managed to catch herself on the top rope, dive back into the ring and proceeded to knee Jaice in the face repeatedly before bringing him up to his feet. Lizatanna! then nailed a vicious roundhouse kick knocking Jaice out cold where she covered and got the pin to become the newest Rebel Pro Aggression Champion
I cannot repair
beneath the stains of time
the feelings disappear
you are someone else
I am still right here
JJHW with a big leg drop off the ropes, but Shut Down rolls out of the way and up to his feet. JJHW is up as well and Shut Down sends him back down with a clothesline that probably took his head off, but its still attached as there is no fountain of blood.
what have I become?
my sweetest friend
JJHW helps him back up to his feet grabbing a front face lock and lifting Shut Down up into a vertical suplex.
MIKEY MASSACRE: My GAWD look at the strength!
everyone I know

MIKEY MASSACRE: Shut Down connects with The Shake Machine out of nowhere!
BUBBA J: Jesse James Hank Williams had the match in hand but… damn splinter!
Shut Down smirks as he makes the cover center ring on top of JJHW’s bat and the fake arm.

JENNY JERSEY: Winner of the match, representing The Freak Show… Shut Down!

NO, NO, NO!!!!!! The Freak rolls his shoulder up just in time. Gato slaps the canvas in frustration before dragging Freak to his feet. Gato hooks The Freak’s head and runs to the corner. Gato Got Your Tongue! No, The Freak reverses with a modified back suplex! Freak grabs the ladder and leans it in the corner before hitting Gato with a rolling thunder. Freak pulls Gato up, whips him into the ladder, and runs in behind him. Gato move out of the way but the quick and agile Freak just runs up the ladder and leaps into a whisper in the wind!
I will let you down

Gato moves his leg over The Freak from a pin.

The place EXPLODES as Maverick has just beaten Venar!
The referee goes to raise the hand of Johnny when he sees that Jacob has a foot on the bottom rope!
I would keep myself
Maverick is helped out of the ring and Jacob is propped up in the corner, the World Title draped over his shoulder. He won tonight, but there’s always another challenger around the corner.
I would find a way
Jacob rolls up to his feet and turns around.
ANOTHER BODY MURDERED!
Jacob is laid out on top of the steel chair that was driven right into Jaice’s face, Jacob’s head connecting solidly with the steel.
Johnny looks down at Venar, a smile creeping across his face as the clip fades away to the March Madness 2011 logo.
The shot cuts live with a set of red, orange, green, and blue pyros as the crowd jump up to their the Rebel Pro crowd up on their feet and having packed out the Rebel Arena! Each fan is up and on their feet, old, young, middle aged; it doesn’t matter and the building’s walls reverberate with the sound of their chant…
REBEL PRO! REBEL PRO! REBEL PRO! REBEL PRO! REBEL PRO! REBEL PRO! REBEL PRO! REBEL PRO! REBEL PRO! REBEL PRO! REBEL PRO! REBEL PRO! REBEL PRO! REBEL PRO! REBEL PRO! REBEL PRO! REBEL PRO! REBEL PRO!
BUBBA J: The crowd is in a frenzy folks so lets get right down to the action that we all know you are waiting for. Joining me here tonight on the announce team is Rebel Pro Triple Crown winner and Rebel Icon… Mikey Massacre!
MIKEY MASSACRE: Thank you Bubba J!
I haven’t seen the fans this pumped up for a show in a very long time! We’ve got exciting action set for you all tonight!
BUBBA J: Then lets get to it!
CHAD KURTIS: What about introducing me Bubba J?
BUBBA J: Haven’t you learned by now that no one really cares about you? But to sooth your ego… her’s the Faker, the not gonna maker, the I Cannot, the No Show… Chad Kurtis.
CHAD KURTIS: Asshole.
BUBBA J: You make me blush with talk like that.
MIKEY MASSACRE: Fans, we unfortunately are unable to have the promised Big Bo$$ Rider$ vs Bluegrass Mafia 2.0 match here tonight.
BUBBA J: What happened there Chad?
CHAD KURTIS: Matthew and J-Kurt’s flight was canceled mysteriously.
Bubba J laughs lightly into the microphone.
BUBBA J(sneakily curious): Why? How did that happen?
He laughs again.
MIKEY MASSACRE: As far as TJ and BG Robinson someone totally demolished and disabled their ride so they were unable to make it to the arena as well.
Bubba J once again laughs.
CHAD KURTIS: Bubba?
BUBBA J: I swear, it wasn’tme, I was too busy on the phon… hey lets get to wrestling!
Aggression Title Gauntlet Match 1
-Fans Bring The Weapons Match-
Jaice Wilds vs Darth Zwart
Darth Zwart came out as usual to no music, no pomp and circumstance, just his normal entrance; his manager in toe. Darth stepped into the ring after receiving a light sabre from a fan that glued glass and thumbtacks to the sabre’s red surface. Zwart experimentally swung the weapon and nodded his thanks to the fan before removing his usual attire to reveal his normal wrestling gear. After this display, the hardcore flying Brazilian came down to the ring and received a steel chair with a picture of Zwart’s face on it. The two met in the ring and the match began in earnest. Zwart backed his opponent into the corner where he delivered knee shots for about thirty seconds having caught Jaice off guard. Zwart whipped Jaice into the ropes, but Wilds turned the tables by kicking Zwart’s legs out from under him and flipping down with a leg drop. Jaice grabbed the steel chair nailing Zwart in the face with the weapon, crumpling the picture of him inwards. Jaice backed Zwart into the corner, climbing up and pounding down with the chair into Zwart’s head with abandon as he wants to move on to the next part of this gauntlet. Zwart threw Jaice off with a spinebuster and followed it up with a leg drop off the ropes. Wilds rolled up to his feet and received a big gigantic freaking boot to the face that flipped him over in the ring. Zwart was off the ropes again with a leaping knee drop onto Jaice’s head, but Wilds was able to roll out of the way and up to his feet. Jaice then unleashed a series of kicks and punches to back Zart into the ropes. Jaice with an Irish whip sent Zwart running and he rolled forward and up with the chair to smash it right into Zwart’s face. The shot knocked Zwart backwards and Jaice tripped him up with a drop toe hold that slammed his face into the steel chair. But Zwart was far from finished as he kicked out of a pin attempt and chokeslammed Jaice on the outside of the ring and launched himself off the top turnbuckle connecting with a moonsault into a leg drop. This was almost enough to get a pin for Zwart, but Jaice managed to barely get a shoulder up and continue. Zwart punished him with the light sabre, dragging it down his face and chest, before slamming it repeatedly on his back to create small rivers of blood all over his flesh. Jaice looked like a wreck and Darth seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself. Darth got a weapon from his manager and slammed the coffee cup into his face before turning to hit his finisher, The Dark Side(jackhammer). Jaice countered with an inverted DDT that sent Darth’s head into the steel chair. Jaice went on to nail him with a crutch covered in thumbtacks and pounded his chest and back with a road sign that a fan swore he got from someone else . Darth rolled over to his knees and forearms, but Jaice was there and waiting to deliver a Shining Wizard when Darth gave him a launching platform. Jaice went on to hit a moonsault sending Darth through a chair of tables, a body slam on top of a table, and a front flipping chair assisted leg drop through the same table. However when he made the cover he only got a count of two as Darth seemed to be determined to make it to face Lizatanna in the next match. Jaice set up another table with a tangle of barbed wire and a ton of light tubes all through it. Jaice rolled Darth up to his feet, but the big man shot a double fist up into Jaice’s jewels and got the advantage back. Darth lifted Jaice up, noticed the light tubes and laughed as he drove him through all of it and stepped onto his face for the pin after hitting “The Dark Side.” After the match Darth Zwart removed his outfit, his mask and all other apparel and revealed himself to be Vincent Black! The crowd erupted with boos, but Bubba J laughed at the Announcers’ table saying that he knew the entire time. Vincent looked at the back and motioned for Lizatanna! to come on down and feel his wrath. Black sent David packing after nailing The New Hope and he promptly threw Jaice over the top rope and to the outside.
Winner: Darth Zwart
Fan Reaction: Loved the match, they made fun of Zwart and cheered Jaice Wilds the entire time. They loved the hardcore aspect and had a ton of weapons that were never used in the match, and just as many were used. The fans were shocked that Darth Zwart was Vincent Black and immediately threw trash into the ring when he revealed himself.
Aggression Title Match 2
-Falls Count Anywhere-
Vincent Black, not Darth Zwart stood in the ring and even though Darth Zwart was supposed to get the shot, since he was Vincent Black, or actually Vincent Black was Zwart he receives the shot. Lizatanna! came out to her music and wearing a top hat for her usual, yet not so usual appearance. Vincent tried to use his strength to overpower the much smaller, yet much faster opponent in Lizatanna! but she was too quick and nailed him in the back of the knees with a kick sending him into the ropes. Lizatanna! pressed her advantage by speeding up her attack with kicks, chops, and all around brutul quickness. Lizatanna! was much fresher and that combined with her size had Vincent on the retreat from the sound of the bell as she started her attack. However Vincent would get back into the match with a thumb to the eyes and a second to the other eye for good measure to blind the Aggression Champion and get him some time. Black slammed his knees into Lizatanna! repeatedly throwing his weight and height to his advantage and literally throwing Lizatanna around as he was wearing her down. Black held her aloft with a double choke lift and then slammed her to the canvas on her ass to wear her down even more. As Lizatanna sat there Black rammed his foot into her mouth after bouncing off the ropes. Black continued to press his advantage with right after right and a multitude of suplexes and folling it up with a New Hope attempt. However, Lizaanna was not ready to give up her title just yet and managed to throw some silver magic powder(that resembled white powder with silver glitter in it) into Vincent’s face blinding him in return. Lizatanna bounced off the top rope to grab Vincent by the black of the skull and drive him face first into her knee on the canvas. Lizatanna then climbed to the top turnbuckle, driving an elbow into Vincent’s skull for a sort of parting shot to try and secure the win. Lizatanna pulled Vincent up to his knees, him still trying to wipe the “Magic Powder” out of his eyes, but the roundhouse kick caught him squarely on the noes and Vincent Black literally never saw it coming. Lizatanna made the cover and got the win.
Winner: Lizatanna! and she retains the Rebel Pro Aggression Championship.
Fan Reaction: A bit disappointed at the shortness of the match and wanting it to go more places than just inside the ring. However, they always like to watch Vincent get beat ever since him and Bubba J formed “Hardcore Entertainment” back in 2008. Fans also happy that Lizatanna! retains as she is witty and funny.
~A briefcase sits on the table, it is the same table as before, but also as before the numerals on the case’s lock has changed. The numbers now read “41201121″, but something else changes as a computerized voice comes over the speakers…
“Start Game Now.”~
‘Judith’ By a Perfect Circle begins to play and Jason Christopher comes out to a throng of boos. He attempts to offer several members of the audience communion wafers but they turn them down.
JENNY JERSEY: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following is a Leather Strap Match! Introducing first, from Mobile, Alabama. The Second Coming… JASON CHRISTOPHER!
Jason enters the ring and gives a very ‘holier than thou’ look to the audience as his music dies down.
CHAD KURTIS: Oh great. First a Sith lord and now Jesus Jr. Wow.
‘Wake Up’ By Arcade Fire begins to play and out steps ‘Average’ Joe. The audience is applauding halfheartedly.
JENNY JERSEY: And from Eerie, Indiana weighing in at a very average 230 pounds…. ‘Average’ Jim Smith.
Someone whispers into Jennys ear.
JENNY JERSEY: I mean…Joe Smythe!
Joe waves nonchalantly to the crowd as he makes his way to the ring.
We start to hear ‘The Pink Panther Theme’ but it is cut short as the big Aggression screen cuts to backstage, where we find Johnny Maverick, Ash Nukem, Duff Cote D’Ivoire, and Xan Vaxman are slugging it out with ‘The Pantheon’ (minus Rob Robinson)
CHAD KURTIS: Wow, The A.S.S.H.O.L.E.S. are in the building! And they’re taking the fight to the Pantheon!
BUBBA J: The who?
MIKEY MASSACRE: Some PWA group. I imagine they are in some sort of feud with them over in that other company. I don’t know, I don’t watch that show.
When security arrives, the A.S.S.H.O.L.E.S. are quick to spread out since most of them don’t work there and could actually get in serious trouble. Johnny doesn’t give a damn as he finishes stuffing ‘Fantastic’ Andy Strickland in a garbage bag. He’s also wearing a ‘Phoenix’ mask he bought at the merch stand. He walks away casually and we are left with Scottie Snow completely unconscious on the ground. We hear Johnnys motorcycle start up as he thinks he might be able to make it to Taco Bell and back in time for his match.
The ref shrugs and has Jason and Joe put on the leather strap and calls for the opening bell.
BUBBA J: Well, looks like this is just gonna be one on one.
Our two opponents circle each other for a moment before they meet in a collar and elbow tie up. JChrist easily powers Joe into the corner and chops Joe hard on the chest. Joe responds by grabbing some of the slack from the leather strap and whipping JChrist on the side of the face. Jchrist backs off and holds his face before he stops and turns his other cheek to Joe.
CHAD KURTIS: Oh you can’t be serious…
Joe shrugs and rears back to whip him again, but JChrist quickly wraps his arms around Joe and tosses him with a belly-to-belly suplex! JChrist goes for a quick cover but Joe kicks out almost instantly to an average smattering of applause from the audience. Joe ties up with JChrist once more and JChrist quickly turns that into a side headlock. Joe elbows JChrist in the gut a few times and manages to push free of JChrist, the two attempt a dropkick at the same time and miss each other, but jChrist is a little quicker getting up to his feet and and takes hold of Joes leg, quickly rolling over into a single leg crab! Joe shouts in pain as JChrist has the hold cinched in tight, but Joe tosses back some of the slack of the leather strap and after a few tries he manages to get it around JChrists neck! He starts pulling hard, choking JChrist out. JChrist is forced to relinquish the hold but Joe keeps right on choking him out with the leather strap. With his breath leaving him, JChrist manages the energy to nail Joe with a european uppercut that makes him back off. JChrist takes a moment to catch his breath as Joe is a bit slow to get up as all the maneuvering has left him a bit tangled in the strap. A fan throws a chair into the ring and it gives Joe a bright idea.
Joe takes a shoe off and throws it at Jchrist. JChrist looks more confused than hurt. He starts to run after Joe but Joe remains just out of reach, finally JChrist yanks Joe towards him with the leather strap but this proves to a mistake as Joe comes at him with a clothesline! The momentum takes both of them over the top rope and onto the concrete. Joe and JChrist are slow to get to their feet but when they do they start slugging it out. Joe whips Jchrist into the barricade and a few of the fans grab onto him.
A member of the audience puts a crown of thorns on JChrist! Average Joe yanks JChrist over to him using the Leather strap and catches him before planting his skull into the cement with a DDT. The audience cheers, but not too much. Joe is able to get JChrist up and rolls him into the ring. He rolls in and makes a cover.
1…2…Thr-NO! As if ressurected, JChrist kicks out of the pin! Joe shakes his head in disbelief as JChrist rises!
Joe throws a punch but JChrist catches it and takes Joe down with an over-the-shoulder arm drag and drops an elbow on him as soon as he’s down!
MIKEY MASSACRE: The Passion of the JChrist is starting to show.
CHAD KURTIS: Wow, we are SO going to hell.
JChrist powers Joe back up to his feet and picks him up for what looks like a crucifix powerbomb. He bows his head and says a short prayer before piledriving Joe hard onto the mat! ALPHA AND OMEGA! He puts a foot on Joes chest and holds his hands together in prayer.
1…2…3!!!
The bell rings and JChrist is quick to try and free himself from the crown of thorns on his head.
JENNY JERSEY: Here is your winner, ‘The Second Coming’, Jason Christopher!
The referee raises Jasons hand in victory as Joe starts to come to, he gives a sort of ‘Aw Shucks’ sigh as he looks around. He undoes the leather strap on his arm and walks to the back, leaving JChrist to celebrate.
MIKEY MASSACRE: Big win for this new guy. Couple more like that and he could make a believer out of me.
~We cut to a commercial for JOHNNY MAVERICK BRAND CONDOMS! For the Sadistic Sex Symbol in all of us.~
The Final Countdown starts to play, but the Phoenix doesn’t give his customary pause to let the music build, he heads right to the ring, surrounded by security.
Phoenix: Ok, I’m getting sick and tired of this. For weeks now, Larry Gordon has allowed an imposter Phoenix to run roughshod in Rebel Pro. This is the same imposter Phoenix that has done everything he can to avoid coming face to face with me. I don’t know who the fake Phoenix is, but here’s what I do know: he hates me. Ok, I get it. To get to the status I’ve achieved, well, you don’t do that without making enemies. I’ve stepped on a lot of people to become the most decorated wrestler in PWA history. I stepped on a lot of people to make the PWA the biggest wrestling promotion on the planet. And I sure as hell stepped on a lot of people here in Rebel Pro. It would be a lot easier to make a list of people that didn’t want to set me on fire.
Phoenix: And don’t think this bozo is the first guy that decided to make his name at my expense. The thing is DP, when people do that, they’re trying to make their own name, not rip off someone else’s. And to do that, you’ve got to actually beat me. But you can’t do that and you know it, so you do your little spooky magic tricks and try to intimidate me, but it doesn’t work. All it does is piss me off. I can’t believe I’m saying this after all the shitty things I’ve done in the past, but you… you’re actually giving a bad name to all the Phoenixes of the world. From me to the city to the online university, you’re making us all look bad.
Phoenix: Since we all know you’ll never face me, I’ve had to decide what to do about this. I thought about it long and hard while I ate lunch at Chick-Fil-A. As I was walking out, I saw a sign on the wall that inspired me. The sign said, “This Chick-Fil-A is proudly owned and operated by Jim Bob Smith”. As Rebel Pro fans know, the Phoenix is nothing if not a savvy businessman, so a light bulb instantly went on. Here’s the deal I’m willing to offer you, DP. You start paying me royalties, or franchise rights, to use my name, music, entrance, moves, and likeness. I’ll be generous and only require you pay me a third of your salary, or $250,000, whichever is less. That way you can fulfill your dream of being the “real” fake Phoenix, Larry Gordon will be happy because he’ll finally have a Phoenix worthy of Rebel Pro and the real Phoenix, yours truly, will be happy because I can finally be out of my contract here. Its win-win-win, baby.
Suddenly, the lights go out. Flames start to flicker on the Megavision screen.
BUBBA J: Do you smell smoke?
The flames on the screen turn darker than ever before and the phoenix (the bird, not the wrestler) on the screen grows larger than before. The lights come on and Robinson is standing in the ring, his security crew knocked out and covered in ashes. At the Phoenix’s feet is another pile of smoldering coals with a burnt mask on top.
“Higher hits up in the speakers as from the back comes the team of Tex Mex Express to a somewhat mixed reaction. There is especially some rough booing coming from a Spanish section of the crowd, more especially one particular fan in the front row.
JENNY JERSEY: Introducing the challengers, coming in tonight at a total combined weight of three hundred and sixty pounds… EL GATO and JESSE JAMES HANK WILLIAMS… TEX MEX EXPRESS!
Jesse walks over to the fan and begins jawing at him as El Gato drags him away and into the ring before their opponents come down.
“Oddities hits up in the arena and from the back to a mixed reaction, boos because of their attitude, but cheers for their antics is The Freak Show.
JENNY JERSEY: Now introducing the Rebel Pro Tag Team Champions, they come in tonight at a total combined weight of five hundred pounds… THE FREAK and SHUT DOWN… THE FREAK SHOW!
They step into the ring and each discusses with their partner who is going to start and who is going to wait. Shut Down and El Gato step out of the ring and are handcuffed by Jenny Jersey, luck bastards.
DING DING
The two men to set off this Carnival of Carnage match are The Freak and Jesse James Hank Williams. Collar and elbow lock up center ring, JJHW with a wristlock into a hammerlock with a slap to the back of Freak’s head before he applies a side headlock. Freak shoves him into the ropes, rolling forward and springing up into a clothesline backing Williams up into the ropes. Jesse with a right hand, but Freak catches the wrist, bouncing off the ropes and coming over his head and down with a around the world type DDT to the canvas. Freak off the ropes, baseball slide right into the side of Williams’ face rolls him onto his back. Freak off the ropes again, springing to the top rope and back flipping with a moonsault onto Williams’ midsection and going for a cover, but Williams throws a shoulder up quickly.
CHAD KURTIS: Way too early for that here.
MIKEY MASSACRE: But that caused Williams a bit of energy.
BUBBA J: This should be an awesome match, but no team will ever be as good as Hardcore Entertainment in Rebel Pro… but Great Alaskan Ninja came close.
Freak pulls Jesse up to his feet, pounding him in the face with a quick series of rights and forearms to back him into the corner. Freak climbs up the turnbuckle pounding down into Jesse’s face with right after right.
SPANISH FAN: Kick his Mexican hating ass Freak!
Freak turns, stunned momentarily, just enough time for Jesse to shove him backwards and fall down with a sort of sit out spinebuster powerbomb combination. Jesse shakes his head before flipping the bird to the fan who accidentally helped him get the advantage back. Jesse pulls Freak up to his feet, whipping him into the ropes, back body dropping him onto his head.
BUBBA J: That… is gonna hurt.
MIKEY MASSACRE: Will he be the same after that?
CHAD KURTIS: Freak is a competitor, that won’t keep him down.
Jesse bounces off the ropes, slamming his leg across Freak’s throat in an effort to cut off his oxygen and maybe wear him down for a pin. Jesse rolls up to his feet, turning to El Gato.
“That’s how you do it you damn Border Jumper!”
El Gato points behind Jesse, but Freak is already there for a sweeping kick to the back of Jesse’s legs taking him down from behind Jesse falls forward a bit, but Freak quickly flips forward, kicking him right in the mouth with a roundhouse kick sending him falling backwards instead. Freak bounces up to the top turnbuckle, flipping off and driving an elbow into Jesse’s face. Freak slides out of the ring and plunders under the apron quickly, pulling out a Singapore cane!
CHAD KURTIS: A moment of showboating and Freak’s got the advantage back.
MIKEY MASSACRE: Like you’ve never showboated?
BUBBA J: Hell yeah he has, the damn faker.
Freak rolls back in holding the cane up for the crowd in a great immitation of another hardcore great. Jesse rolls up to his feet, holding at his mouth which has began to bleed at the corner. Jesse turns around, cane right to the nose! The nose bursts in a red flower causing him to stumble back in both pain and shock. Freak presses his advantage with another shot, this one to the inner thigh and dropping down to spin around with a shot right to the ribs of Jesse.
CHAD KURTIS: I.. am not faking Bubba!
BUBBA J: Fake and Shake or is it Shake and Fake?
Freak springs from the middle rope, catching Jesse around the head and placing the cane up under his chin/throat and coming down with a bulldog pretty much center ring. Freak up and on the top turnbuckle quickly. He leaps off with a shooting Star Press!
MIKEY MASSACRE: Impressive there!
CHAD KURTIS: I think he stole that from me.
BUBBA J: Regardless of what you think of yourself, not everyone worships you Your Fakeness.
Freak makes the cover, trying to get his tag partner in here so that they can finish the match off quickly to retain.
One!
Two!
Jesse throws a shoulder up, feeling the effects from the bulldog and subsequent shooting star press has taken its toll. Freak pulls him up, backing him into the ropes with a series of kicks, punches, and chops to all parts of his body.
CHAD KURTIS: Freak there with one of his favorite moves that he calls The Rush.
MIKEY MASSACRE: A vicious set of kicks, punches, and chops that both stun and weaken an opponent.
BUBBA J: Can you two fucktards be any more obvious?
Freak to the middle rope, flipping over Jesse’s head again and going for another bulldog!
CHAD KURTIS: Freak going for that move from earlier!
Jesse catches him around the waist, spinning and tossing him over the top rope to the outside! And the concrete floor below!
BUBBA J: It doesn’t pay off this time, but Freak is definitely on the outside looking in.
Freak lands hard on his hip and tries to roll up, but he just falls back down. Jesse hits the opposite ropes as both Shut Down and El Gato watch on unable to do anything. Jesse catches the rope and launches himself through with a dive to the outside that slams Freak’s back and head into the steel guard railing!
MIKEY MASSACRE: jJesse going for a high risk move and it pays off!
Jesse pulls Freak back up, breaking a bottle over his head and dragging it down Freak’s face to make him bleed for a bit. Jesse tosses the bottle away before whipping Freak into the ring apron. Jesse follows in with a clothesline that bends Freak backwards at the corner of the apron. Jesse turns around, glancing at the Spanish fan from earlier and spitting in his direction. Jesse turns around, scooping Freak back up and dropping him neck first across the apron in a possible attempt to break his neck. Jesse rolls Freak back up, making him kiss the steel post once, twice, and a third time making Freak’s face resemble about ten pounds of raw hamburger meat from your local meat market.
BUBBA J: Freshly ground Freak… on sale for $1.95 this week only!
Jesse pulls Freak back up, dragging him over to the Spanish fan.
“How does he look now you River Jumper?!”
The fan looks on, but Jesse isn’t really being disrespectful, or at least we don’t think so; its just who he is. Freak struggles weakly with an elbow, but Jesse quickly halts that with an elbow of his own to the nape of Freak’s neck sending him down to one knee. Jesse rolls Freak into the ring and digs under the ring for a table that he pulls out.
MIKEY MASSACRE: Jesse bringing out the wood and the fans love it!
CHAD KURTIS: Jesse looking to put The Freak away.
Jesse slides it into the ring and then begins to pull out a couple of long cases that contain the light bulbs for the overhead light fixtures. Jesse smiles as he tears into the cardboard and places the tubes into the ring. Jesse then climbs into the ring where he places the bulbs onto the table and scoop slams Freak on top of them for good measure. Jesse climbs to the top turnbuckle before pointing to Freak. Jesse leaps out with a body splash from the top turnbuckle…
Freak catches him, hitting A Moment In Sin!(side effect into an Anaconda Vice)
CHAD KURTIS: How did Freak manage to hit that from that position?
MIKEY MASSACRE: It was so quick, but effective!
BUBBA J: Damn!
Freak makes the cover as Senior Referee Alan Stone slides into position for the count.
One!
Two!
Three!
DING DING DING
JENNY JERSEY: Winner of the first fall and unlocking his Tag Team Partner from the railing… The Freak!
Freak stands up and promptly leans against the corner as Shut Down is unlocked. Shut Down turns to El Gato and waves good bye at him before calmly removing a couple of chairs from fans and tossing them into the ring. Shut Down digs under the ring and pulls out one of Freak’s favorites… a twenty foot steel ladder! The fans are going crazy, not necessarily because they love Freak Show but more because they love the carnage that these two men bring to the ring. Shut Down hefts the ladder into the ring as Freak smiles through his blood covered face and motions for Shut Down to hurry up and lets get this match over with. Shut Down holds up a hand before grabbing a spool of barbed wire from under the ring and tossing it into the ring as well and stepping over the top rope to finally get into the squared circle.
CHAD KURTIS: After five minutes of getting things ready, Shut Down finally enters.
MIKEY MASSACRE: It doesn’t look good for Jesse James Hank Williams here.
BUBBA J: No shit, really?!
Shut Down then picks the wire back up and removes some from the spool before getting Freak to hold Jesse up and then the two of them begin to wrap him up in barbed wire. El Gato looks on from the outside, powerless to stop what is fixing to happen to his tag team partner inside the ring. Freak sets up the ladder as Shut Down finishes wrapping Jesse in the barbed wire. Freak points to the top of the ladder as Shut Down lifts Jesse into position for a huge powerbomb onto the steel chairs, table scraps, and light tube pieces. Freak climbs to the top and nails a crucifix pose before leaping off.
BUBBA J: Jesse is sttruggling!
Jesse slips off Shut Down’s shoulders, bringing him down face first into the mess! Jesse rolls out as far as he can as Freak nails a double knee drop into Shut Down’s skull! Freak bounces up just as Jesse spins him around nailing WWJD(stunner)!
BUBBA J: That move looks familiar…
CHAD KURTIS: And he pulls it off better than you ever could.
BUBBA J: You shut the fuck up you piece of faking piece of shit!
CHAD KURTIS: Wow, you made no sense.
MIKEY MASSACRE: Guys, guys, there is aa match going on!
BUBBA J:Damn right and its more interesting than a Chad Kurtis match could ever hope to be… damn faking piece of shit.
Jesse makes the cover!
One!
El Gato is chomping at the bit to get into the ring.
Two!
El Gato is at the full length of that his handcuff will allow.
Three!
El Gato is just waiting, ready to dive into the ring.
DING DING DING
JENNY JERSEY: Winner of the second fall and now unlocking his Tag Team partner… Jesse James Hank Williams!
BUBBA J: Here we go boys, El Gato is ready for the action!
CHAD KURTIS: More than you could ever hope to be.
MIKEY MASSACRE: Guys?! The match!
El Gato is unlocked and into the ring as quickly as he can be. Shut Down is up and furious at what happened, not at Freak but that Jesse was able to surprise him. Shut Down turns around, El Gato off the ladder with a dropkick sending Shut Down into the ropes. El Gato with a quick wave before tripping Shut Down and sending him back down face first into the now bloody trash. El Gato wastes no time in bouncing off the ropes and leaping to mid way on the ladder to back flip with a double foot stomp into Shut Down’s skull. Jesse rolls out of the way as his partner is in firm control.
MIKEY MASSACRE: El Gato on fire!
CHAD KURTIS: Look at him go!
El Gato up again and has a steel chair in hand as Shut Down gets wobbly up to his feet. Shut Down turns around, catching the chair. El Gato with a kick, but Shut Down saw this one coming and swings the chair up with the edge acting like a golf club right into El Gato’s crotch. Gato drops to the canvas holding at his jalapeno and Mexican beans.
BUBBA J: And his momentum is halted just that quickly…
CHAD KURTIS: He’s probably got more than you do anyways, more to get hit and more to feel pain.
Here comes Jesse though flying over the mess in the center of the ring, but Freak trips him up and the chair catches him squarely in the face knocking him backwards into a roll up from the Freak!
One!
Two!
Thre
Jesse gets a shoulder up just in time as every single fan in the building is on their feet!
MIKEY MASSACRE: Close call!
CHAD KURTIS: Extremely close call there.
Freak pulls Jesse up, whipping him towards Shut Down who catches him with a bear hug then tosses him over his shoulder with a belly to belly suplex toss type move. Shut Down spins as he doesn’t hear a crash. Jesse lands in the corner, his leg sort of caught in the corner. Shut Down slams into him with a big man splash in the corner and the train wreck is nearly fatal as Jesse crumples there possibly out cold with a broken leg.
BUBBA J: His leg may be broken!
MIKEY MASSACRE: But with a shot for a championship on the line he’s not going to let that stand in his way.
BUBBA J: You are right, he’s no Chad Kurtis.
Shut Down pulls him out of the corner, lifting him up onto his shoulders for the Shake Machine!
CHAD KURTIS: Shut Down going to finish it!
El Gato with a barbed wire fist to Shut Down’s jewels and plush teddy bear causes him to drop Jesse who just falls off the shoulders. El Gato quickly turns as Freak comes through with a hand stand into a dropkick slamming both feet into El Gato’s masked face causing a crunching sound to come from the mask. El Gato’s eyes widen in pain, but he only stumbles against the ropes as Shut Down hits his knees holding himself, unable to do anything different. Freak looks a bit sympathetic but not for long as El Gato grabs his attention again. Gato with a right, but Freak catches the hand flipping Gato over onto the spool of barbed wire and a quick leg drop gets The Freak Show back on top here in this Carnival of Carnage match. Freak lifts Gato up into A Moment of Sin, but Gato manages to shove Freak before he can get the move set for the transition; the blood making things a bit more difficult. Gato shoves back, but Freak ducks under sending Gato down with a Northern Lights Suplex into a bridged pin on top of a piece of table.
One!
Two!
Thre
NO!
El Gato kicks out just before the three and this match must continue!
MIKEY MASSACRE: El Gato pushing through the pain and exhaustion to continue!
CHAD KURTIS: He has a chance to win the title s for his team, he’s not going to quit until the last possible moment.
Freak can’t believe it, but pushes on as they want to retain and have a fight on their hands. Freak pulls Gato up as Shut Down lumbers up to his feet. Gato ducks under the clothesline from Freak, sending him over the top rope with a kick to the back of his skull. Freak lands heavily on his head and neck, rolling over onto his back as Shut Down roars after Gato. El Gato spins around, ducking under a big right hand from Shut Down and leaping to the middle of the ladder. Shut Down turns around…
MIKEY MASSACRE: Gato Got Your Tongue!
Shut Down counters with the Shake Machine!
BUBA J: Out of nowhere, Shut Down with the Shake Machine!
Shut Down makes the cover!
One!
Two!
Three!
DING DING DING
JENNY JERSEY: Winners of the match and STIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLL Rebel Pro Tag Team Champions… the team of The Freak and Shut Down… The Freak Show!
Shut Down steps out of the ring and to the outside where he retrieves the belts and his tag team partner.
CHAD KURTIS: Neither member of Tex Mex Express should hang their head, they gave it a valiant effort here tonight.
MIKEY MASSACRE: And Jesse’s leg does appear to be broken fans as he is unable to put any weight on it at all.
BUBBA J: Now… that is fucking hardcore! Yeah!
~Another commercial that people hate, but pays for their Rebel Pro addiction comes onto the screen, playing on Megavision as well. A family sits around a table, the typical family of a mom, dad, a boy and girl. The family is laughing and carrying on as the boy rolls the dice and gets a twelve.
MOM: “Awh sweetie, you have to go to jail, directly to jail.”
The boy smiles as everyone laughs at him and the camera zooms in on the board game they are playing. The game of Monopoly, Millennium Edition.~
MIKEY MASSACRE: Basically I just got word that we’ve got a special guest coming down to the ring right now. Apparently this is the guy who Larry Gordon’s been in talks with for the last few weeks.
BUBBA J: I don’t think I care, Mikey. If it’s the guy I think it is all hells gonna break loose.
JENNY JERSEY: If I may have your attention please! It is my honor to introduce the newest aquisition to REBEL PRO!
The fans cheer and stand to their feet, curiosity piqued as “The New Shit” by Marilyn Manson hits over the speakers.
Everything has been said before
Nothin’ left to say anymore
When it’s all the same
You can ask for it by name
JENNY JERSEY: He is a two time former PWA World Tag Team Champion, a former PWA Undisputed World Heavyweight Champion!
We see fans holding up signs with a very familiar skull emblem on them.
BUBBA J: She better be kidding right now.
MIKEY MASSACRE: Hmmm wonder who that could be?
Babble babble bitch bitch
Rebel rebel party party
sex sex sex
and don’t forget the VIOLENCE!
JENNY JERSEY: He stands in at six foot, three inches tall and weighs in at two hundred and forty pounds!
Blah blah blah got your lovey-dovey
sad-and-lonely
Stick your stupid slogan in:
Everybody sing along!
JENNY JERSEY: He hails from MONTREAL, QUEBEC CANADA!
The crowd is in pandemonium on their feet!
BUBBA J: Oh for fucks sake…
Babble babble bitch bitch
Rebel rebel party party
sex sex sex
and don’t forget the VIOLENCE!
Suddenly at the entrance way, Tamika Nash Strader steps out to a huge pop.
JENNY JERSEY: Accompanied tonight by Tamika Nash Strader!
Blah blah blah got your lovey-dovey
sad-and-lonely
Stick your stupid slogan in:
Everybody SING!
JENNY JERSEY: He is THE LAST SUPERSTAR…. SIMON KALIS!
Are you motherfuckers READY?!
For the new shit?!
Stand up and admit!
Tomorrows NEVER coming!
Kalis steps out to thunderous applause from the crowd, decked out casually in a white t-shirt that says “Stay 2nd Amendment” on the front, a photo of him holding out his golden Desert Eagle on the back with the REBEL Pro logo just under the neck.
THIS IS THE NEW SHIT!
STAND UP AND ADMIT!
Kalis grabs Tamika and they kiss to the cheers of the crowd, holding hands they begin walking down to the ring. Kalis and Tamika slap the hands of fans as they pass by.
MIKEY MASSACRE: Man can you hear these fans?! March has just REALLY got hit with Madness tonight folks! Simon Kalis! HERE! In REBEL Pro!
BUBBA J: …
MIKEY MASSACRE: I know you two have history Bubba but this is a great thing!
Kalis grabs some beers from a vendor at ringside and cracks two cans open, smashing them together with the two cans of a rabid fan at ringside and chugging both down at the same time. He begins spraying the front row with beer as he chucks the cans into the crowd and continues to circle the ring with Tamika. He passes by Mikey Massacre and Bubba J, laughs as he throws up two middle fingers at Bubba J and hops onto the apron with Tamika. He sits on the middle rope to let her get in first before getting in himself and heading to each of the four corners. At every corner he throws his arms up and gets thunderous applause from the REBEL Pro fans.
MIKEY MASSACRE: You may not like it, but the fans certainly do.
BUBBA J: This is a hoax, no way this yellow bellied son of a bitch signed a contract here.
Kalis dusts off his denim jeans and looks around the crowd as they continue to cheer. He puts his arm over Tamika and takes the microphone from Jenny.
SIMON KALIS: Surprise!
The crowd cheers as Kalis nods them on.
SIMON KALIS: So a lot of people, mostly people who watch wrestling I imagine, are wondering just what the hell is Simon Kalis doing in such… Such…
He pauses, and winks.
SIMON KALIS: A more “independant” area of this business. Hell I could’ve gone anywhere in the world ladies and gentlemen. And by world, I mean west of Alabama and east of the Carolinas across that big glass of water you idiots here in the Flat Earth Society may not realize is an ocean.
The crowd quickly turns from the cheers into a chorus of boos.
BUBBA J: Jackass.
SIMON KALIS: Truth be told folks, Larry broke ass Gordon could NEVER afford to have me on his roster. This is the kind of situation where you’d have a movie directed by George Lucas starring Jack Black and Carlos Mencia in a dramatic tale of galactic horror, love and war. Yet…
Kalis reaches into his back pocket to pull out a rolled up stack of stapled papers. He waves it around so everyone can see that it is a REBEL Pro contract.
SIMON KALIS: Yet here it is! A Rebel contract with my name on it. Yes folks that’s right…
Kalis flips a few pages in and points to the area concerning salary, which he has circled.
SIMON KALIS: My services in REBEL Pro will cost this company a whopping… One dollar a year!
MIKEY MASSACRE: Didn’t see that coming.
SIMON KALIS: I’m not here for money, nor am I here bound by the precedents of honor and chivalry that once guided me. No ladies and redneck men, what I am here to do for you kind simple folk is show you that even though my black ass is so rich I piss gold and shit onyx that I can be your hero. I can be your gladiator! For I am here to do one thing, and one thing only! Make people bleed profusely from every orafice in their body, and perhaps a few new ones I carve out myself. That’s right, folks!
Tamika laughs and rolls her eyes.
SIMON KALIS: You too can now enjoy forty minute monologues from yours truly! You too can now enjoy watching a world class talent because really… Johnny Maverick is so wherever the fuck he’s from. Bubba J can sit there talking because I think the only part of his body I didn’t break was that mangy mutts throat.
MIKEY MASSACRE: I think he means you, Bubba.
BUBBA J: Yeah I got that Mikey.
SIMON KALIS: So I say bring on the batshit wild violence. It’s apart of my roots, and what better way and what better place to do it than right here! North Carolina! The pubic hair for the South!
Kalis sarcastically gags as the crowd seranades him with boos as “The New Shit” hits again. Simon and Tamika make their exit, and Kalis spits on a few fans as he walks by them throwing beer at him.
MIKEY MASSACRE: A big difference from how he came in to how he leaves.
BUBBA J: These people aren’t dumb enough to fall for his bullshit.
~A commercial floats across the screen showing a man walking in what appears to be boots of some kind. The boots stop and the figure turns, us never seeing his actual face or profile; only his feet. “Justin boots, they’re at the top of any game.”~
Jenny Jersey: Ladies and gentlemen, we have a special guest for tonight’s main event. Introducing now, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin…
“Sympathy for the Devil” performed by Guns N’ Roses kicks up on the sound system. Matthew “Virus” Engel comes out from backstage, dressed in a dark navy blue suit. The fans are divided in their reactions; some are cheering, some are booing.
Massacre: Was this cleared with Larry?
Bubba: I hope not. That bastard doesn’t deserve to be here.
Jenny Jersey: He is a PWA Hall of Famer and three-time PWA World Champion… a special commentator for the evening… I give you Matthew “VIRUS” Engel!!!!
The crowd’s boos are taking over the arena. Guess they’re not too fond of him down here. Engel reaches the ring and begins to walk around. He finally graces the commentator’s table. Bubba stands up immediately in defense, ready for anything. Engel just smiles, and grabs his seat at the table. Bubba, feeling a little less threatened, sits down as “Sympathy” dies down on the sound system. Engel puts on his headset.
Matthew Engel: Gentlemen.
Massacre: Mr. Engel, what are you doing here in REBEL Pro?
Bubba: Yeah Matt. Thought you hated this place?
Matthew Engel: Well, seeing as how REBEL is officially under the AOWF umbrella, can’t really hate it all too much can I? Soon enough all of our paychecks will be signed by the AOWF, and we’ll all be united.
Bubba: That just sounds fruity to me. You still sore about your loss?
Matthew Engel: Absolutely not, Bubba. Like I said, you wanted it more.
Bubba: Damn right I did.
Massacre: Alright gents, let’s get to the match.
Jenny Jersey: This match is your main event and it is for the REBEL World Heavyweight Championship!!!
Huge pop from the crowd as lights flash on the ominous cage structure that surrounds the ring.
Jenny Jersey: Coming to the ring first…
‘Lead into Demise’ by Kingdom of Sorrow!!
Another huge pop as Johnny Maverick steps out from the back!!
Jenny Jersey: Hailing from Washington DC and weighing in at 225 pounds, ‘The Filth & The Fury’ Johnny Maverick!!!
Maverick slowly walks around the cage taking it all in. The top of the cage is ringing with barbed wire to keep people out and also to keep the wrestlers inside the ring. Maverick enters the ring, takes a spot on the second turnbuckle and raises a clenched fist into the air. He notices a familiar face down by the commentator’s table, and walks over to the ropes but minds the electrified cage. He sees Matthew Engel, and starts making threats toward him to stay out of his match.
Bubba: Looks like Johnny don’t want you here, Matt.
Matthew Engel: I’m just here to observe, I assure you.
Massacre: I hope so!
Jenny Jersey: And his opponent….
‘Anthem For The Underdog’ by 12 Stones!!!
The building fills with boos as The champ is here!!
Jenny Jersey: Hailing from British Columbia, Canada and weighing in at 240 pounds…..He is the reigning and defending REBEL World heavyweight Champion…..’The Falcon’ Jacob Venar!!
Venar has the defaced World Title draped over his right shoulder and is all smiles. He casually walks to the ring, takes a moment to look at the cage and steps inside.
Massacre: For the first time ever, the World Title will be decided in an electrified barbed wire cage match!!
Bubba: I just hope we see someone seriously injured in this match!!
Massacre: What!?
Matthew Engel: That makes sense. Who wants to take bets that Johnny won’t be ready for his match with me on Sunday Night Rampage?
Massacre: I’m sure he’ll be ready!
Referee Alan Stone is holding the belt high overhead, showing it off for everyone in the arena and for those at home. He hands the belt over to Jenny on her way out of the ring and the cage door is shut. The building (and the cage) is buzzing and the referee calls for the bell!!
Massacre: And here we go with the main event for March Madness!!
The two men meet in the center of the ring, face to face and jaw jacking at each other. Jacob strikes first with right hand! Maverick returns the favor with a right hand of his own and the fight is on! The crowd is whipped into a frenzy as both men trade rights and lefts, neither willing to back up an inch. Jacob rakes the face of Maverick! A knee to the gut doubles over the challenger! Jacob whips Maverick into the ropes!

Maverick gets ready to pummel the champ with right hands when Jacob hooks the waist of Johnny and snake eyes him against the top turnbuckle!
Jacob grabs Maverick and whips him towards the far corner.
It’s reversed and Jacob is sent into the corner!
The champ counters with a whisper in the wind and Maverick is down!!
Massacre: Both of these men hate each other and will do anything to walk out of this match as the World Champion.
Bubba: As long as someone fries I’m happy.
Matthew Engel: I don’t know much about Venar, but Johnny is gonna have to do a lot better than an inverted atomic drop.
Maverick is pulled to his feet and takes a wicked chop across the chest! A second and a third chop have the REBEL faithful ‘Woooooo’ing’ in unison!!
Jacob grabs Maverick and tries to throw him into the cage but the challenger puts on the breaks and drives a back elbow into the guts of the champ!
Maverick spins around and pummels Jacob with a rapid fire series of short forearm shots to the face!
Jacob is whipped into the ropes and is greeted with a boot to the gut on the rebound. Maverick with a double underhook across the knee backbreaker!
Maverick quickly climbs up to the second turnbuckle and hits a Bret Hart style flying elbow onto the champ!
Jacob scrambles to his feet and is grabbed from behind and sent sailing towards the cage!
Jacob hits the cage door and sparks fly everywhere! The crowd erupts as Jacob rolls around the ring with smoke coming off of him.
Maverick waits for Jacob to get to his feet and hooks him from behind. Half nelson suplex! Jacob rolls into a kneeling position and eats a shinning wizard from Maverick!
Massacre: Maverick is taking it to the champ early but Jacob is a tough son of a bitch!
Bubba: Pffft. If you say so.
Matthew Engel: He does say so, Bubba. I’d listen to him more often if I were you.
We can see Massacre give Bubba a tough look, but Bubba doesn’t react. He wants a beer.
Maverick spits on Jacob and pulls him to his feet. Jacob pushes Maverick back and hits a jumping enziguri!
Maverick drops to a knee and Jacob comes off the ropes with a low dropkick that catches the challenger flush in the chest!
Jacob drags maverick to his feet and sends the challenger sailing into the electrified cage! Again sparks fly off the metal and the crowd cheers!
Maverick is again pulled to his feet and is thrown into the cage again and the challenger rolls to the center of the ring with smoke coming off him and burn marks on his skin.
Jacob sets himself as Maverick is slow to get to his feet.
Maverick is up and Jacob goes for a spear!
Maverick drops out of sight and referee Alan Stone is almost cut in half by Jacob!!
Jacob stands over the downed referee and looks over at an unmoving Maverick. He smiles and drags the referee to his feet.
The referee is thrown into the cage door and sparks erupt from the cage!!
Again the poor referee eats the cage door and this time the door flies open and the referee tumbles to the outside!
Jacob carefully climbs out of the cage and starts hunting for plunder under the ring.
Bubba: Well if anyone had to ride ol’ sparky I’d always vote for the referee to go first!
Massacre: Jacob is simply looking to do anything to end the career of Maverick here!
Matthew Engel: I hope not. I need him alive and ready on Sunday, I’m not getting a free pass to advance in the tournament.
Two chairs are pulled out from under the ring and tossed inside the cage. A table is drug out from under the ring and the crowd gives the obligatory ‘We Want Tables!’ chant.
The chairs are joined by a ladder and the crowd is beyond happy to see the amount of plunder that Jacob is tossing into the ring.
Another pair of chairs are tossed into the ring by the champ and he’s all smiles as he stops to talk shit to some of the ringside fans.
Jacob turns his attention back to the ring and Maverick flies through the ring ropes and out of the cage with a suicide dive into the champ!!
A ‘Holy Shit’ chant breaks out as Maverick pulls himself to his feet. Maverick spots something peeking out from under the ring and drags out a toolbox.
The toolbox is opened and Maverick finds what he’s looking for. A screwdriver.
Jacob is trying to get to his feet when Maverick comes up from behind him and jabs the screwdriver into the scalp of the champ!
Jacob tries to escape but Maverick pins him against the guard rails and digs the screwdriver into the flesh of the World champ.
Blood is pouring down the face of Jacob as Maverick steps away and the fans are no help as they hurl insults and curses at a bloody Venar.
Maverick grabs Jacob and hurls him against the outside of the cage! Again sparks fly everywhere and the champ lays on the floor a bloody mess.
Massacre: Maverick is putting the ‘whup ass’ onto Jacob Venar!
Bubba: bah, they’re both overrated.
Matthew Engel: That’s why they’re out there and you’re sitting behind a table, right Bubba?
Bubba: Yeah yeah, I still whupped yer ass Matt. You just remember that.
Matthew Engel: You did. I also drank a half a bottle of whiskey before that match, and since I’ve sobered up, I haven’t lost. So maybe when you decide to show your ugly face in the PWA again, we’ll have another match.
Bubba: Bring it on Matty!
Massacre: Guys, come on. Stay focused on the match!
Maverick pulls Jacob to his feet and shoves him back into the ring. Referee Jimmy Johnson runs down to ringside as Alan Stone is checked on by paramedics. The EMTs, along with Alan Stone on a stretcher, leave back up the aisle way, Jimmy climbs into the cage behind the two wrestlers.
Maverick grabs the ladder and props it up against the corner. Jacob is getting to his feet and takes a boot to the bloodied face.

Stinger splash from Jacob smashes Maverick into the ladder and the champ stumbles away with blood trickling from his head and staining the mat.
Jacob crawls over to the far corner and pulls something out from under the apron. It looks like a water bottle and Jacob hides it as best he can.

Slowly Jacob pulls himself up and staggers over to the ladder. He opens up the ladder and returns his attention back to Maverick.
Jacob drags Maverick to the top of the chair pile and then walks back towards the ladder. The champ takes a moment to clear the blood from his eyes and then starts to climb to the top of the ladder.

ANOTHER BODY MURDERD ONTO THE PILE OF CHAIRS!!
The crowd counts along with the referee!!
1!

3!!!!
The roof is almost blown off the building as a dream has been accomplished!!
Massacre: Holy shit he did it!!! He almost killed Jacob to do it but we have a new champion!!!
Bubba: And both these guys are messed up! I love it!
Matthew Engel: Well hot damn. Looks like Johnny will get a World Title, it just won’t be of the PWA variety.
Maverick is sitting in the middle of the ring as the referee holds up his hand!!
Jenny Jersey: The winner of this match…..And NEEEEEEEEEEEEEW Rebel Pro World heavyweight Champion……JOHNNY MAVERICK!!!!!!!!!!!
The belt is placed in the lap of the new champion and he looks down at it and smiles. Maverick slowly gets up and raises the belt high above his head and again gets a monster pop from the REBEL faithful!!! The cage is being raised now and the electricity has been turned off.
Massacre: Maverick had to pull out all the stops but he’s our NEW World Champion!!!
Bubba: This makes ‘em 1-1. I’d love to see how they top this!!
Matthew Engel: Well gents, it’s been real. I gotta go greet your new champion.
Engel drops the headset and stands up from the table. He walks toward the ring and climbs in, with the cage being raised high enough for both competitors to move freely in the ring. A bloodied and battered Johnny Maverick confronts Matthew Engel, getting ready for anything.
Crowd: JOHNNY! JOHNNY! JOHNNY!
Engel smiles, and extends his arm toward Maverick’s belt. Engel wipes some debris off the belt, and then extends his hand. Engel and Maverick shake hands.
Bubba: Now Matt is all of a sudden the sportsman?
Massacre: Seems like Mr. Engel is giving Maverick his credit here as he has done the unthinkable here tonight!
Matthew Engel: See you Sunday, champ.
We can see Engel mouth the words to Johnny, but the audio isn’t very clear as the crowd is going crazy. Engel departs from the ring, heading backstage.
Fade out as we focus on a bloody, burned and battered Maverick standing over Venar with the Title draped over his shoulder.
Welcome to ‘The Filth & The Fury’ era of REBEL!!!!
