Hi all,

With Legends International only a couple of weeks away (hopefully), I thought I'd post my storylines here, though those who get my emails will get the uncensored versions. Anyways, here are some previous cards to get everyone caught up for when my fed continues with the LI wrestlers.



Take care,

6-14


Clips were shown from the previous show where Heavyweight Champion Giant Baba defeated George Hackenschmidt in barely a minute. Hack has been out of action since with a more-serious concussion.

Bill Apter was in the back with Baba's manager, Street Reaper.

Apter: “Street Reaper, it seems that George Hackenschmidt was reinjured by Giant Baba last week.”

Reaper: “He failed to wait until he fully recovered before challenging Baba. He paid the price.”

Apter: “So you don't feel bad at all about what happened?”

Reaper: “Did you feel bad when Baba ran The Terrible Turk out of the federation? Did you chastise Baba when he mauled Kowalski? Did you shed tears when Baba left Hogan in a pool of his own blood? No, but when he injures one of your 'heroes' in a clean match, you berate the Champion and speak of him as the villain.”

Apter: “I was just saying-”

Reaper: “I have neither the time no reason to defend Baba's actions. Hackenschmidt competed by his own accord, and Baba defeated him with no controversy. If you wish to blame one, blame your hero for possibly competing against doctor's orders. Giant Baba, Rikidozan, and Killer Khan enter that ring to wrestle and push themselves beyond human limits. If their opponents cannot meet that level, they need to move on to other endeavors.”

Apter: “I'm guessing then that the other wrestlers competing in The War For Respect at Only The Strong can expect the same kind of treatment then.”

Reaper: “Our opponents better expect it Every Time they face us. If they fail to do so, they could make what happened to Hackenschmidt look like a scratch.”

With that, Street Reaper turned and stormed off.


1. Diamond Dallas Page + Don Leo Jonathan
vs. The Beautiful People (Gorgeous George + Playboy Buddy Rose).

George and Rose made their debut, entering the ring to the song, “I'm too Sexy.” Page and Jonathan tossed both men around, but Rose and George survived for several minutes, mostly through frequent defense tags. While Page and George battled on the floor. Ed “Strangler” Lewis ran out and distracted Page and the referee. Rose had a figure four leglock on Jonathan, and just as Jonathan was reaching for the ropes, Killer Kowalski ran out and nailed the Bomb's away kneedrop. The referee turned around, saw Jonathan unconscious, and counted to 3.

Winners: The Beautiful People when Rose pinned Jonathan.



2. Killer Kowalski defeated Larry “The Ax” Hennig with the Kowalski Claw. Page and Jonathan tried to interfere, but Ed Lewis and Richard Hutton stopped them.


3. The WCC defeated George South and Larry Sharpe when Bastein pinned South after an Atomic Drop.


4. Drax pinned Kamala after a Drax-DT in a short match.


Red Bastein, Billy Red Lyons and their manager, Wild Red Berry, entered GM Shon Maxx's office. Shon, with his feet propped up on the desk, was playing a video game.

Berry: “What are you doing?”

Shon: “I'm playing 'Hitman.' You're an assassin, and you're paid to kill people 'quietly.'”

Bastein: (Looking at the screen) “Is that why you're throwing knives at people while wearing a clown suit ?”

Shon: “It's a 'Corky the clown' disguise. Oh look some guards.”

Lyons: “You're dragging a dead body up to some guards...”

Shon: (in a sing-song voice) “Look what Corky brought to play with!”

Berry: (Shakes his head) “Um, you wanted to see us, Shon? I have a feeling it wasn't to see the fruits of your twisted mind.”

Shon: “No, but funny you should mention fruits. Billy...do you remember some time ago when you and your buddy here checked into a hotel and they thought you were married?”

Lyons: “You had to bring that up didn't you. It wasn't my fault.”

Shon: “Hey, you guys signed the register as 'Billy Red and Bastein Red,' and got a honeymoon suite.”

Bastein: “We misread the register and wanted the suite because we wanted bigger.”

Shon: “....right....”

Lyons: “That was a stupid old law anyways, being married automatically because the hotel thinks we were! It took me forever to annul it!”

Shon: “Well that's the problem. See, when you annulled it, you also screwed up your visa. Until you get it fixed, you can't work in the United States.”

Lyons: “What?”

Berry: “I leave you boys alone for one weekend and look what kind of trouble you get into.”

Shon: “Well I got a form faxed here, so if you sign it we can get this faxed ASAP.”

Lyons: “Good.” (signs form)

Berry: “Just a second...(looks over form) fine, no mistakes this time. How long will it take to go through?”

Shon: “About 4 weeks.”

Bastein: “4 weeks?”

Shon: “It was 6, but I talked the girl there down a bit.”

Berry: “So he can't compete at the pay per view?”

Shon: “Nope, sorry. You'll have to find a substitute.”

Lyons: “You're just trying to hold me back, Shon! What do I have to do to get a break, sleep with your daughter?”

Shon: “First of all, you're not exactly heating up the rankings so I'd have no reason to hold you back. As for sleeping with my daughter, my 'daughter' is a 2 year old chow, but hey, if that's your thing-”

Lyons: “Hey, I don't go there! I'm going back to the hotel.”

Bastein: “I'll be joining you shortly.”

Berry: “Well let me handle the register this time”

Lyons: “Fine, I'm not pulling anything out until I get back to the room.”

Shon had to bury his face in his hands to keep from laughing.



5. The Destroyer made his debut, forcing Thret Van Darn to submit to the Figure Four Leglock.


6. The Crusher pinned Killer Khan in a very brutal match after hitting the Crusher Bolo. Both men were bleeding by the end of the match, which lasted nearly 15 minutes.


Clips were shown from previous shows where Steve Corino helped Dan “The Beast” Severn against The Crusher while Severn helped Corino against Justin Credible and The Sandman.

7. Ultimate Champion Dan Severn and XTC Champion Steve Corino defeated The Singapore Kings when Severn knocked Credible out with the fireman's carry slam. After the match, Corino and So-Cal Val started to celebrate in the ring when Severn assaulted Corino and locked him in the Beast Choker. So-Cal Val screamed at Severn, who broke the hold and shoved her aside before leaving the ring.


8. Bruiser Brody + Ox Baker
vs. Ric Rude and Curt Hennig.

Ox and Rude started out. Rude posed and taunted Ox, who shoved him across the ring. Hennig tagged in, but Ox tossed him around and leveled him with stomps and forearm clubs. Rude and Hennig managed to gain the advantage by double teaming Ox, but Brody tagged in and cleaned house. Brody smashed Rude with a Flying Knee Drop, but Bobby Heenan distracted the referee. Ox tagged in and pounded on Rude. Rude fought back and tossed Ox into the ropes, but Ox kicked him in the head and hit the Heart Punch. Brody attacked Hennig, and Ox pinned Rude for the three-count.

Winners: Brody and Ox when Ox pinned Rude.

Aftermath: Ric Rude had to be helped to the back. He was heavily-favoring his chest as he limped down the walkway.

SAGA

6-22

Hulk Hogan was shown walking into a meeting room, earlier in the day, along with several lawyers. Shon Maxx and Drax followed, and neither looked happy.

1. Savage T beat Bart Black after a top-rope flying clothesline.


Clips were shown of the rivalry between Sabu and Danny Hodge. A Steel Cage Match was announced for the two at Only The Strong.


2. Cruiserweight Champion Sabu pinned Danny Doring after a Triple Jump Moonsault.


Hulk Hogan was seeing leaving the meeting with a smile on his face. The lawyers followed, with Shon and Drax leaving last.


3. George Hackenschmidt made his return to the ring, defeating Cousin Luke with the Russian Bearhug.

4. Hulk Hogan defeated George South with a Legdrop Of Doom.


Bill Apter was in the back with Wild Red Berry, Red Bastein, and The Destroyer.

Apter: “Shon really threw a monkey wrench into your plans last week.”

Berry: “Shon's trying to hold back the pedestal of this federation! He's been doing it all along!”

Bastein: “I told you this federation is filled with sore losers! We're the most successful team in history, and we're being held back.”

Berry: “But it's okay because we have a substitute.”

Apter: “Who?”

Berry: “I'd like to introduce the newest member of the Wrestling Conduct Council...Mastos!”

A man in a full body suit and masked entered and sat down. His clothing completely covered all features. His suit seemed padded so no one could tell his build. Also, his boots seemed heavy and could have been padded, which would explain his height.”

Apter: “Now this wouldn't happen to be Billy Red Lyons in-”

Berry: “No, Billy is fixing his Visa; he's not allowed to wrestle. Mastos here is a skilled fighter, the greatest fighter where he's from.”

Apter: “So, where's he from?”

Bastein: “Um...Parts Unknown?”

Apter: “Right...Destroyer, this will be your first SAGA pay per view. How do you feel about your chances?”

Destroyer: “Our situation has nothing to do with chances. We Must Win. We are the only group that can represent this federation. Look at the others. Our top two champions don't even speak English. Our tag champions...Frank Gotch calls himself 'Peerless,' but he is with peers, so he's a liar. As for George...whatever his name his, how can this federation be represented by someone whose name no one can even pronounce? Killer Kowalski's and Bobby Heenan's team are a little rough around the edges, but they are the closest to us. Oh, and The Crusher, do you really think our ratings will be helped by a man who drinks beer and dances to the dumbest form of music until rap came along? It is simple the process of elimination. We Must Win.”

At this point, Justin Credible and The Sandman entered.

Credible: “Don't you ladies think highly of yourselves...”

Sandman: “You got a problem with beer?”

Berry: “Get out of here! This is our time!”

Credible: “We're just here to announce that The Singapore Kings have entered The War For Respect!”

Bastein: “Hey, Einstein, you need three members to enter.”

Credible: “You mean like him?”

Suddenly, The Sheik flew in and hurled a Fireball into the air. All members of The WCC jumped back.

Berry: “This is a travesty of justice! Bastein, fine them for disturbing our peace. Bil...I mean Mastos, fine them some more for violating building safety codes!”

Bastein took a step forward, but then stopped when Sheik moved towards them.

Bastein: “You'll get your fines in the mail!”

Credible: “No problem...we'll be swimming in cash when we win The War!”

Sandman: “And I'll be swimming in something else!”


5. Danny Hodge pinned George Sharpe with an Oklahoma Roll.

6. Heavyweight Champion Giant Baba and Regional Champion Rikidozan defeated The Beautiful People when Rikidozan pinned Buddy Rose after a Thunderous Chop.

7. Elimination Tag Match:
Bruiser Brody, Ox Baker, and The Missing Link
vs. Ric Rude, Curt Hennig, and Ted Dibiase.

Rude was still feeling the effects of Ox's Heart Punch from last week, but he fought anyways. It didn't help much as Ox quickly sent him to the mat , and the infirmary, with yet another Heart Punch. Ox then leveled Hennig with a Heart Punch as well. Dibiase pinned Missing Link after a Loaded Glove, but he too fell victim to the Heart Punch. Brody did administer quite a lot of damage to their opponents, but it was Ox who sent Rude and Dibiase to the stretchers.

Winners: Brody and Ox.


8. Elimination Tag Match:
Diamond Dallas Page, Don Leo Jonathan, and Larry “The Ax” Hennig
vs. Killer Kowalski, Ed “Strangler” Lewis, and Richard Hutton.

Kowalski and Lewis worked reluctantly with Hutton, who seemed to care more with how he wrestled in the match. Hutton pinned Hennig with a bridge and made Page submit to the Abdominal Stretch. He refused to tag to Kowalski and Lewis until Jonathan started tossing him around. Kowalski cleaned house, then tagged (or rather tossed) Hutton back in, where he was quickly pinned by Jonathan. Lewis rendered Jonathan unconscious with the Strangler's Headlock to give his team the win.

Winners: Kowalski and Lewis.


Drax and Shon were in the back.

Shon: “Well, they agreed to let Empire be special referee.”

Drax: “He does not like me, but he does not like Hogan either.”

Shon: “One plus.”

Drax: “But why must Hogan fight with lawyers instead of how he used to? I looked forward to fighting the old Hogan. I even did what you said and tried to drive him to be his old self. Instead we have these meetings! And now they want me to, how do they call it, lie down?”

Shon: “It's a load of crap!”

Drax: “I will do my job, of course, but I-”

Shon: “You job is to wrestle, Drax. Do that.”

Drax: “But his lawyers-”

Shon: “Forget them. You want the old Hogan? Keep pushing him. Shoot if you have to.”

Drax: “You want me to shoot?”

Shon: “He'll either fight back or break. Either way we win. Do what you have to do. You're Drax, The Conqueror! Conquer him!”

Drax: “If that's an order...”

Shon: “That Is an order!”

SAGA Presents:

Only The Strong!

June 30.

Earlier in the day:

The wrestlers gathered in the empty arena, sitting in the front rows. Members of the Universal Wrestling Council (Grogan, Richard Peck, Veronica Fox, CR Rant, etc.). GM Shon Maxx walked out last and entered the ring.

Shon: “Good afternoon. I know everyone's anxious to prepare for tonight's event, but in light of recent events in the wrestling world, I've been ordered by the Council to create an official Wellness Policy. I've spent the past couple days forming this policy so we can keep any problems to a minimum.”

Shon sat on the apron so that he could see every wrestler as he spoke to them.

Shon: “My policy is this: If you get caught with illegal drugs, or you get a DUI, DWI, or any other acronym that means you've been into something you shouldn't be...You're Gone! No second chances, no parole, no good behavior crap!”

A number of wrestlers looked stunned by Shon's bluntness. Even several members of the Council were surprised.

Richard Hutton: “What, no making us watch one of your evil DVD's this time?”

Shon: (glaring at Hutton) “No, Richard, no DVD's and no late-night spankings. I'm sorry if that disappoints you, but is that going to pose a problem?”

Hutton: “...No...”

Shon: “I'm not trying to be a prick here. If you have a problem, please come to one of us, and we'll help you. I understand things happen, but I'm not going to any funerals because someone's been a complete dumb *** I'll be here if you need help, but I've got no patience for anything else. You get busted, you're gone!”

Rant: “Don't you think you're being a little harsh here, Shon? I mean the Council should agree to this before-”

Shon: “No, Rant, you put me in charge of this, and it's done. You got a problem with the way I do things? Then get out! The policy is official. Oh, and it takes effect right now.”

With that, Shon leaped off the apron and walked to the back. He passed Headstalker on the way up.

Shon: “Keep an eye out, Destry. I don't want any witch-hunts, but I don't want any incidents either. And don't tell me I'm being too harsh.”

Headstalker: “My father popped, Shon. Trust me, I'm far from arguing with you here.


The show officially opened with the usual fireworks.

1. Steel Cage Match:

Cruiserweight Champion Sabu vs. Danny Hodge.

Sabu attacked Hodge early with several flying moves and moves that sent Hodge crashing into the cage. Hodge fought back by bringing Sabu to the mat with several takedowns. Sabu fought back and tried a flying senton, but Hodge sent him crashing into the cage. Hodge tried an Oklahoma Roll, but Sabu kicked out. Sabu countered a sunset flip into a piledriver. Abdullah Farouk then opened the cage door and tossed a chair in. Sabu hit the air Sabu several times, busting Hodge opened. He then went for the Triple Jump Moonsault, but Hodge kicked out of the pin. He tried again and missed. Hodge went for a flying elbow smash but missed. Sabu hit the Triple Jump Moonsault again and scored the pin.

Winner and Still Cruiserweight Champion: Sabu by pinfall.


2. Double Title Match:
Ultimate Champion Dan “The Beast” Severn
vs. XTC Champion Steve Corino.

Severn dropped Corino about 10 seconds into the match and locked the Beast Choker, but Corino got to the ropes. Severn refused to release the hold, since there was no DQ. So-Cal Val slid into the ring and stomped Severn. Severn released the hold and chased her to the floor, but as the rounded the corner, Corino hit a baseball slide into Severn's face. Corino brought Severn back into the ring and hit a side kick, but Severn kicked out. Corino threw Severn into the ropes and charged, but Severn hit a belly to belly and began pummeling Corino with several ground punches. He hit a German suplex and locked a heel lock, but Corino escaped. Severn went for a shoulder roll, but Corino escaped and hit a spinning fisherman's suplex. He tried a flying clothesline off the turnbuckle, but Severn got up and hit a spinning forearm smash that busted Corino wide open. Severn then hit the fireman's carry slam and tried a cover, but he broke his own pin attempt and instead hit several German suplexes. He then trapped Corino against the turnbuckle and hit several shoulder strikes. Corino dropped to the mat, nearly unconscious.

Severn locked the Beast Choke, but they rolled near the ropes. Severn slapped the referee and yelled at him to call the match since no DQ's should mean no rope-breaks. At this point, So-Cal Val jumped on on the apron, but Severn rushed over, grabbed her by the hair, and punched her. Corino though, sneaked up behind Severn and hit the Old School Expulsion for the win.

Winner and Still XTC Champion and New Ultimate Champion: Steve Corino by pinfall.

Aftermath: Val and Corino left ringside while a furious Severn began destroying things around the ring.


3. Special Referee: Empire:
Hulk Hogan vs. Drax.

The 6'9”, 400 lb NPW Champion Empire entered the ring and signaled for the match to start as soon as both men entered the ring. Hogan charged forward, but Drax caught him with a body press and slam. He hit a fallaway slam and went for the cover. Empire counted slowly, which surprised Drax. Drax hit a piledriver and locked a figure four leglock, but Hogan got to the ropes. Drax hit a legdrop and tried another cover, but again, Hogan kicked out.

When Drax turned to argue with Empire, Hogan got up and hit a school-boy, but Drax kicked out, also of a slow count. Hogan hit an elbow drop and tried another cover, but Drax kicked out again. Hogan started to ague with Empire, but he turned and locked a facelock on Drax. Drax shoved him away and hit an axe kick. Drax then hit the Drax-DT, but Hogan 'Hulked-up.' He started punching Drax, then threw him into the ropes and hit a big boot. He bounced off the ropes for the leg drop, but Drax leaped to his feet and hit a big boot of his own. Hogan was stunned, and Drax picked Hogan up and tossed him to the floor.

Hogan looked up to Drax in shock and slowly got back into the ring. He tacked Drax and began punching him. Drax tossed him off and went for a clothesline, but Hogan ducked and hit a back suplex. Hogan locked a Boston crab, but Drax kicked free. Drax picked Hogan up for another press slam, but Hogan jumped up and hit a clothesline. He climbed the turnbuckle, but Drax caught him with a flipping slam. Drax bounced off the ropes, but Hogan rolled to the floor. Drax, meanwhile, simply stood in the ring and taunted for Hogan to get back in.

The two brawled back and forth for several minute, with both men ending up bleeding. Both men also noticeably were starting to wear out. Hogan knocked Drax into the turnbuckle and charged, but Drax ducked and went for another axe kick. Hogan dodged the kick, but Drax surprised him with a small package. Hogan reversed the package, and Empire started to count, but Drax reversed the package back and locked his ankles. Hogan couldn't escape, and Empire counted to three.

Winner: Drax by pinfall.

Aftermath: Drax held out his hand to Hogan who accepted.


4. War For Respect:
Baba, Rikidozan, Khan
vs. Gotch, Hackenschmidt, Crusher
vs. Kowalski, Lewis, Hutton
vs. Page, Jonathan, Larry Hennig
vs. Curt Hennig, Rude, Dibiase
vs. Brody, Ox, Missing Link
vs. Destroyer, Mastos, Bastein
vs. Sandman, Credible, Sheik.

Rules: A wrestler is eliminated if he is pinned, submitted, knocked out, or thrown over the top rope to the floor. The remaining team wins and gets the Heavyweight, Tag Team, and Regional Titles. The team members also get to choose (whether by choice or random) three wrestlers from every other team to be released from SAGA. Wrestlers entering the match with titles are exempt from this.

(Note: I messed up recording the details of this match so I'll just cover certain events within it.)

The Sheik was pinned by The Crusher. Gotch was tossed out by Kowalski. Destroyer was pinned by Hackenschmidt. Hacksnschmidt was tossed out by Hutton. Credible was pinned by Baba. Sandman was pinned by Crusher. Hutton was tossed out by Bastein (aided by Mastos). Rude was pinned by Baba. Khan was pinned by Jonathan. Baba was pinned by Dibiase (aided by about half the remaining wrestlers who all took shots at the champ). Curt Hennig was tossed out by Larry Hennig. Jonathan submitted to Lewis' Strangler's Headlock. Rikidozan was eliminated by a returning Killer Khan after being distracted by Antonio Inoki. Inoki and Khan then double-teamed Rikidozan until security stepped in.

Larry Hennig was pinned by Brody. Ox was pinned by Page, who reversed the Heart Punch into a Diamond Cutter. Page was pinned by Kowalski. Crusher was tossed out by a double dropkick from Mastos and Bastein. Dibiase was pinned by Kowalski. Bastein was tossed out by Kowalski. Kowalski was tossed out by Mastos after Bastein distracted him. Lewis was tossed out by Mastos after Brody drilled him. Brody was pinned by Mastos after missing a turnbuckle charge.

Winners: The WCC with Mastos as Sole Survivor!

Aftermath: Wild Red Berry grabbed all the belts and jumped up and down at ringside, lifting the belts up for all to see. Bastein and Destroyer walked back down and joined Mastos in the ring. Berry entered the ring and handed Bastein one of the Tag Team Titles. He also held the other for Mastos. However, Mastos snatched the Heavyweight Title out of his hands, rolled out of the ring, and walked to the back. Berry and Destroyer turned, and saw this, then joined Berry at following Mastos to the back.

They didn't see Mastos at first so they went to their dressing room.

Bastein: (opening the door) “Very funny, Billy. You got us. I admit-”

He walked in to find Billy Red Lyons stripped down to his underwear and unconscious on the floor. Destroyer and Berry entered the room.

Berry: “What the hell's going on here?”

Bastein rushed to Lyons' side, and he was joined by Destroyer.

Destroyer: “Someone beat on him pretty badly.”

Berry: “If Billy was here the whole time, then who was-?”

Bastein bolted out the door and down the hallway. He found Mastos outside, the Heavyweight Title in one hand and his duffle bag in another. A taxi had just pulled up.

Bastein: “Hey, who are you and wha'd you do to Billy?”

He grabbed Mastos but Mastos shoved him away. Bastein got up and lunged forward, trying to rip the mask off, but Mastos dropped his bag and the belt, grabbed Bastein, and shoved him over a railing (Bastein flipped over the railing and only fell a few feet, but he smashed into the concrete pretty hard). By the time Destroyer and Berry got to the outside, Mastos was already in the taxi, and it drove off. Shon Maxx and Headstalker rushed outside.

Shon: “What's going on?”

Berry: “Someone beat up Billy and took his suit and the belt!”

Shon: (to Headstalker) “Get the EMT's out here now.”

Berry: “And to our room.”

Shon: “and their room.”

EMT's ran out and tended to Bastein as Destroyer and Berry ran back inside to lead the others to Lyons.

Headstalker: “Did you know anything about this?”

Shon: “No, not at all.”

Headstalker: “Well, I'll talk to my crew and see if anyone saw anything.”

Shon: “Thanks, Dest.”

Headstalker: “For now, I guess we have a new Heavyweight Champion; we just don't know who it is.”

Shon: “Yeah...(Headstalker goes back inside as Shon looks to where the Taxi drove off)...Cool!”

SAGA

7-10

Shon Maxx was in his office, when Wild Red Berry and The Destroyer enter.

Berry: “Shon, give me one good reason why I should not recommend you lose your job!”

Shon: “Give me one good reason I shouldn't throw you out the window for barging into my office without knocking.”

Berry: “Don't give me that. I know all too well what you pulled with Billy, I mean, Mastos.”

Shon: “Let's get one thing on the table, okay? I know you had Billy dressed up as that Mastos guy. Most of the people out there know it as well, no matter what you try to pull.”

Berry: “It doesn't matter. Just answer me one question. Were you behind that attack?”

Shon: “No, I wasn't. I didn't know anything about it.”

Berry: “Yet someone viciously attacked Billy, and you do nothing?”

Shon: “Well if I did something, then technically that would be your admitting that Billy was in the building illegally. Which puts charges on both of your heads, would it not?”

Berry: “But...but-”

Shon: “Look, I covered both Billy and Bastein's hospital bills; that's all I can do right now. I have no clue who attacked them and took the Mastos suit.”

Destroyer: “I do.”

Berry: “You do?”

Destroyer: “Watch the tape.” (Destroyer puts a tape in Shon's VCR and the monitor shows a security recording of Bastein, Berry, and Destroyer leaving the dressing room before someone lifted the camera and entered the room.)

Destroyer: “He entered the room right after we left. He was lurking. It can only be one person. It all makes perfect sense. Dan Severn was furious at losing to Steve Corino, so he incapacitated Billy and took the suit. Then he won the War For Respect and took the Heavyweight Title.”

Shon: “Nice ideas.”

Destroyer: “Well only a infidel could miss the hints. I mean, no one saw Severn leave the arena.”

Berry: “That's right! It was Severn!”

Shon: “There's only one problem with your theory. According to the time on the tape, the attack took place about 9:30. At 9:30, Severn was trying to attack Corino in the back before Headstalker and I had him ejected from the arena. So unless he can go out one door, walk around the arena, reenter it, and sneak into your room within a 3-minute span, your theory falls as flat as a model's chest. Sorry.”

Berry: “Then who is it?”

Shon: “As I said, I have no idea, but I'm hoping he shows up tonight so we can find out. Until then, we have other matters to clear up. Your team won The War For Respect so you get to choose 1 wrestler to be exported and 2 more at random.”

Berry: “The Sheik for his attack on us before the event.”

Shon: “All right, fine, now pick 2 names from here (hands them a hat).”

Berry: “Don Leo Jonathan and Larry Hennig.”

Shon: “Well that's done. Now, you have the Tag Team Titles and Regional Title, but Bastein and Lyons are both injured. That leaves Destroyer as your only wrestler.”

Destroyer: “I'll take the Regional Title.”

Shon: “Fine, then the Tag Team Titles are vacant at this time. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some matches to set up tonight.”


1. Frank Gotch defeated Harker Dirge by submission to the Gotch Toehold.

2. Regional Champion The Destroyer defeated Cousin Luke by submission to the Figure Four Leglock.


Shon Maxx was walking in the back when he saw Danny Hodge.

Shon: “Hi Danny, how are you doing?”

Hodge: “I'm okay.”

Shon: “Well sorry about your loss to Sabu at the event. You put on a great match.”

Hodge: “Thanks, I don't have any excuses. I guess I just wasn't as ready for a cage as I thought.”

Shon: “Well you're a great wrestler with a lot of heart, so I'm giving you one more shot at our next card. Just a regular match, though if you lose again, that's it for a long time.”

Hodge: “Thanks, I won't disappoint.”


3. Killer Kowalski rendered Savage T unconscious with the Kowalski Claw.

Clips were shown from the ppv where Steve Corino defeated Dan Severn to win the Ultimate Title.

4. Dan Severn knocked Steve Corino out with the fireman's carry slam to regain the Ultimate Title and win the XTC Title. After the match, Severn locked Corino in the Beat Choker and refused to let go until So-Cal Val started stomping him. Severn then got up and punched her before leaving with the titles.

5. In a Number 1 Contender's Match for the Heavyweight Title, Giant Baba and Ted Dibiase battled to a double count out. Dibiase tried to use a Loaded Glove on Baba, but Baba floored him with a Neckbreaker Drop on the rampway.


Shon Maxx saw Mastos enter the arena with the Heavyweight Title.

Shon: “Hey, uh, Mastos, or whoever you are. I don't have a problem with what you did. Actually I like the suspense you bring in. But if I'm going to recognize you as champ, I need to know who you really are.”

Mastos nodded and pointed to the ring entrance.

Shon: “Got it.”


Clips were shown from the ppv when Richard Hutton refused to work with Killer Kowalski and Ed “Strangler” Lewis in their match.

6. Bruiser Brody and Ox Baker defeated Richard Hutton and Ed “Strangler” Lewis when Brody pinned Hutton after a piledriver. Hutton had refused to work with Lewis throughout the match, and afterwards, he sneak attacked Lewis. Kowalski then hit the ring, and he and Lewis beat Hutton to a pulp.


Shon Maxx was then shown sitting in his office as he and Headstalker prepared to watch the rest of the show. (Note that this segment jumps back and forth from the ring to Shon and Headstalker in Shon's office.)

Mastos walked to the ring and grabbed a microphone. He slid into the ring and walked right up to a camera.

Mastos: “You want to know who I am, Shon? Do I sound familiar to you, that freak next to you, and those corporate heads whose ***** you kiss on a nightly basis?”

Shon: “Uh oh...”

Headstalker: “He's here?”

Mastos ripped off his mask to reveal a man in his mid thirties with very short dirty-blond hair.

Shon: “Kylla...”

Kylla: “Remember me? I wrestled with you two as Kylla Cabal for years. And I made my debut as 'Kylla 'The Killer' Hussein! Remember that? I later dropped the relation to Saddam crap and did what I loved, wrestling. But then **** just got worse for me. But first, let me make a few points perfectly clear. Yes, I was born in Iraq. But no, I'm not here because I buried some friends or family during the war. To be honest, I don't know anyone in Iraq; my mother and I left to live with my father when I was 2. I'm not here because of that or my thoughts on the war.”

Kylla paced the ring, occasionally staring right into the camera to make a point.

Kylla: “About five years ago, when 9/11 happened, I was told to lay low. Fine, people were ******, I understand that. But then some pricks in the office decided I was 'one of those people,' and suddenly I'm opening the cards or wrestling dark matches for minimum wage. Then it got worse. When the war with Iraq happened, I was fired and black-listed! I couldn't even wrestle in a **** gymnasium! My whole family went through it, and my wife took the kids out of the country and changed their last name so they could earn a descent living. Okay, so because I was born in a country you're at war with, suddenly I'm a damn monster and so is my family! My oldest daughter has to go to school in another country because of this ****!”

Kylla again stopped in front of a camera.

Kylla: “Well, I plan to leave all this crap and start over as well. But first I'm going to make sure some sick sacks of **** pay dearly! You want me to be a monster? Fine, I'll be a monster! You want blood? I'll give you blood! You want a war? You've got one!”

Kylla climbed the turnbuckle, looking directly into one camera.

Kylla: “And network execs, take a good long look, because your precious federation's biggest belt in the hands of...'One of THEM!” (performs a throat-slit motion and leaves.)


Shon: “Oh....boy....”

SAGA Supercard

9-26

GM Shon Maxx walked to the ring.

Shon: “We're baaaaaaaak! Welcome back everyone! We had a few troubles which kept us off the air for a couple of months. Apparently the Council had some 'discussions' with the Network over previous events in this federation...thank a lot, Kylla. But anyways, we're back tonight, with some additions to our roster and some big news.”

Shon walked around the ring, occassionally looking directly at a group of fans or just wandering as he spoke.

Shon: “But first, a huge announcement...it seems I have an illegitimate child! (crowd boos) Just kidding...small joke. Okay, for the real announcement, or should I say announcements. A year ago, I secured the ability to sign any and as many of the free agents this time that I wished, and I did that because I knew of a certain wrestler that I wanted in SAGA. Well, I got him, him and an ally of his. Tonight, you will see the debut of Jushin Liger! And that's not all, I also brought to SAGA, Tiger Mask! I know, I know; I'm still working on Muta and Chono. Also, with the Tag Team Titles still vacant, I've decided on a tournament to crown new champions. The tournament will start in 2 weeks and will end at Fright Night on November third.”

“And speaking of Fright Night, this year's main event will be The Blood Rumble, where the winner will be the number one contender for the Heavyweight Title. Now that contender will be crowned at Fright Night. Until then, I have 2 top contenders who will meet in two weeks. The winner will get a title shot at Fright Night against Kylla Cabal. Those contenders are Ted Dibiase and Giant Baba! As for our main event tonight, Angelo Mosca will debut against Hulk Hogan (loud boos), in Hogan's last match at SAGA (standing ovation.) Okay, I'm done talking, and you're probably wanting me to get the hell out of here so you can see some action. Have fun and enjoy the show!”


1. The Mongols w/ Sir Oliver Humperdink vs. The Samoans w/ Captain Lou Albano.

The action surprisingly stayed in the ring the entire time with neither team gaining any real advantage. Albano tried to cheer his team on, and Humperdink told him to shut it. The two got into a brawl of their own, that their teams broke up. Eventually the time limit expired, but at least food and snack sales went up!

Match Result: Time Limit Draw.


Frank Gotch, George Hackenschmidt, and The Crusher were sitting in the locker room in the back when Bill Apter approached them.

Apter: “Gentlemen, you've heard Shon Maxx's announcement about the Tag Team Tournament to crown new champions. How do you feel about that, being the previous title holders?”

Gotch: “We can be all big and bad, saying we never lost the belts, but technically we did. We both got pinned in that War For Respect Match. Hack and I aren't about to make any excuses.”

Hackenschmidt: “Those titles mean we are the best tag team in the federation. If we are to hold them again, we want to know we earned them, and that means beating all competition in the tournament.”

Apter: “You're facing Dennis Coundrey and Tom Pritchard tonight, two wrestlers on loan from FIST.”

Hackenscmidt: “They are skilled tag team technicians. I admire that.”

Gotch: “They're also skilled at underhanded double-teaming tactics. If we can get by that, we'll be one step closer to proving we deserve those belts back.”

Apter: “Crusher, what are your current plans?”

Crusher: “My current plans are to knock people down, slap them silly, then go dance with the dames every night. It's kept me fit and-”

Suddenly, Fritz Von Goering entered the lockerroom.

Apter: “Fritz Von Goering? I don't have you scheduled for an interview, but if you like-”

Goering walked right over and slapped Crusher across the face. Crusher lunged forward, but Hack and Gotch caught him. Goering just calmly turned and walked back to the door.

Goering: “You don't like getting your pretty face slapped, Crusher? Do something about it. Meet me tonight in the ring.”

Crusher: “You're on!”


2. Jushin Liger + Tiger Mask vs. George South and Larry Sharpe.

Liger started out and dropped both opponents with flying dropkicks. He hit South with several flying maneuvers, then tagged to Tiger. Tiger threw both opponents to the floor and proceeded to hurls himself at both men. He eventually brought Sharpe back into the ring and hit the Tiger Driver. Suddenly, Liger entered the ring and stomped them both. He then kicked Tiger in the face and hit a shouda chop. Their manager, Street Reaper flew into the ring and stepped between them, but Liger simply screamed, “Gaijen!” at Street Reaper and, Hangyaku-sha!” at Tiger before leaving the ring.

Winners: South and Sharpe by disqualification.


Regional Champion The Destroyer was walking through the back when he saw the Boogie Woogie Man.

BWM: “Hey, Destroyer, my man. Peace to ya! How about we get along and have ourselves a match tonight?”

Destroyer: (looks at BWM for a long moment before speaking) “I know all about you. You went from using dirty tactics to either thinking you're a womanizer or a flower child, I can't figure out which. However, I know you try to do this to make up for your all-too apparent lack of talent. Here's some free advice for you, if you want to improve yourself, try this; Train. As to your sad excuse for a challenge, I'll grant you one more lesson, though it'll cost you your physical well-being. That I promise you.”


3. New Age Outlaws vs. Bob and Brad Armstrong.

Bob: “Brian, what are you doing in the ridiculous get-up?”

Road Dog: “Well, hello, dad. I'm doing what Billy and I have been doing for years, winning matches and belts. How about you?”

Bob: “Brian, you're coming back to FIST with us. That's all I have to say.”

Road Dog: “Well, dad, Billy and I have just 2 words for you...”

Brad attacked Road Dog and the match began. Road Dog wrestled both Bob and Brad for several minutes. Then Billy tagged in, and he and his partner double-teamed the Armstrongs. After several minutes of fighting, Billy clotheslined Brad to the floor, and Road Dog hit the Pumphandle Slam on Bob for the win.

Winners: New Age Outlaws when Road Dog pinned Bob Armstrong.


Bill Apter was in the back with Killer Kowalski and Ed “Strangler” Lewis.

Apter: “So, gentlemen, what have you been doing in the off-season?”

Lewis: “Training. We've pushed Kowalski to and beyond his limits, and now the federation better beware.”

Kowalski: “And as for those in charge of publicity, the ones who have been trying to say I'm from a city here so I can be 'Americanized,' all I have to say is Americanize this!”

Kowalski lowers the bottom part of his eyelid with one finger.

Lewis: “Walter, we are in America at the moment. Maybe you should show your great intellect by doing things their way.”

Kowalski: “Very well.” (flips off camera and laughs).


Richard Hutton found Pepper Gomez in the back.

Gomez: “Richard Hutton?”

Hutton: “Hello, Gomez. I heard you have a match tonight against Ed Lewis.”

Gomez: “Si`”

Hutton: “Well, Lewis happens to be the mentor of my hated enemy, Killer Kowalski. And if Lewis is there, Kowalski will be nearby.”

Gomez: “So you want to watch my back?”

Hutton: “I'm asking for an alliance. You know the kind of monster Kowalski is. If Lewis is mentoring him, things can only get worse with him.”

Gomez: “An alliance...”

Hutton: “I've been trying to shut them down for the past year. We need to stop them once and for all.”

Gomez: “All right, amigo, I'm in.”

The two shook hands.


4. The Mountie vs. Justin Credible.

The Mountie was accompanied to the ring by Wild Red Berry. When he entered the ring, he tried to sneak attack Credible, but Credible ducked and hit a DDT. He then followed with That's Incredible, but Berry distracted the referee. The Mountie fought back and slammed Credible to the mat. He hit a Short Chokeslam, but Credible put his foot on the rope. The Sandman then ran to ringside and chased Berry around the ring, but Red Bastein ran out and hit Sandman in the head with the shock stick. Berry then distracted the referee while The Mountie used the Shock Stick on Credible. He followed with a cover.

Winner: The Mountie by pinfall.


5. Frank Gotch + George Hackenschmidt vs.
Tom Pritchard + Dennis Condrey.

Pritchard and Coundrey jumped Hackenschmidt before the bell and tied him up in the ropes. They then double teamed Gotch for several minutes. Hack finally came to and flipped loose of the ropes. He lunged forward and clotheslined both opponents. Coundrey stumbled right into a facelock by Gotch, but Pritchard made the save. The next few minutes saw Pritchard and Coundrey use every double-team maneuver to get the advantage, while Gotch and Hack kept fight back. Finally, Hack got fed up and press slammed Coundrey over the top rope. Gotch locked Pritchard in the Gotch Toehold and Pritchard tapped out.

Winners: Gotch + Hackenschmidt with Gotch over Pritchard by submission.


Capt. Lou Albano, Bruiser Brody, The Missing Link, Samu, and Alofa were standing near the curtain.

Albano: “Are we ready?”

Brody: “Where's Ox?”

Albano: “He said he'd be here. He said he needed to go back home for some time.”

Ox walked up.

Albano: “Ah, there you are. Did you find what you were looking for back home?”

Ox: “More than I planned, but yeah.”

Albano: “Then let's go.”

The group walked out and entered the ring.

Albano: “Well here we are, Wild Side in all its glory, or should I say the glory to come! We've had problems, but now we're ready to run rough shot over this place. Brody and Link are ready to crush everyone in singles matches, and I have two top tag teams here; The Samoans, along with Ox Baker and...returning from FIST...Yukon Eric!”

Yukon Eric walked out.

Albano: “Welcome back, Eric.”

Eric: “Thanks, Capt. It's great to be here. Brody, I can't wait to see you shake this place up. Link, you're unorthodox, which is just what the federation needs. Samu, Alofa, I have a feeling there'll be be things in your future. Ox, old friend, together we-”

Ox suddenly clubbed Eric to the mat and began punching him over and over. Stunned, Albano needed a moment before ordering his group to pull Ox off of Eric. Ox continued trying to lunge at Eric, screaming, “It was you all along!,” “It was you, you #@$#@$%$$!”

They finally succeeded, and a bloody and shaken Eric left the ring with Link and The Samoans helping him. Brody and Albano stayed in the ring to try and calm Ox.

Ox: “It was him...it was always him....all along it was him....that @%%#@$$!”


6. Regional Champion The Destroyer vs. The Boogie Woogie Man.

The Destroyer lived up to his words, easily out-wrestling BWM for a couple of minutes before finally putting him away with the Figure Four Leglock.

Winner and Still Regional Champion: The Destroyer by submission.


7. Pepper Gomez vs. Ed “Strangler” Lewis.

This was the best match on the card. The two men exchanged moves and counters for several minutes. Hutton then ran to ringside to stand watch. Lewis went for the Strangler's Headlock, but Gomez escaped to the floor, with Hutton standing guard over him. Kowalski then ran out and chased Hutton around the ring, but Gomez (who had sipped back into the ring) hit a baseball kick on Kowalski. Hutton spun around and began punching Kowalski.

Just then, Timber leaped over the guardrail and floored Hutton with a forearm. Gomez ran over to help Hutton, and the two took off down the aisle as the referee stopped the match.

Winner: Lewis by disqualification.

Aftermath: Hutton grabbed a microphone.

Hutton: “Kowalski, this all started nearly a year ago when you put me through a table. Now I want to end it by returning the favor. I challenge you, next week to a table match!”

Kowalski: “How's your head, Richard?”

Hutton: “Fine.”

Kowalski: “How are your arms and legs, Richard?”

Hutton: “Just fine.”

Kowalski: “How's your heart, Richard? How are your ribs?”

Hutton: “They're all just fine! I am in perfect health!”

Kowalski: “I recommend you hold that thought.”


8. The Crusher vs. Fritz Von Goering

The two beat each other from pillar to post, in and around of the ring. At about the 10-minute mark, both men were bleeding and stumbling. After smashing each other into posts, tables, railings, and even the floor, the two met back in the ring, where they stood toe-to-toe exchanging punches. Crusher started throwing everything he had, and when Goering started to stumble back, Crusher nailed the Crusher Bolo and scored the pin.

Winner: The Crusher by pinfall.

Aftermath: Crusher ignored the pain he was feeling and started to leave when Goering grabbed a microphone.

Goering: “Crusher, get back here and face me.”

Crusher turned around and got right into Goering's face.

Goering: “I didn't slap you because I hate you. I didn't want this match because I hate you. In fact, I respect you. I've watched you in the ring, but I wanted to see for myself if you truly are one tough mutt. I don't want to be your enemy. I want to be your partner! Together, let's tear this federation limb from limb and show them how a couple of brutes really fight!”

Crusher: “Are you serious? You did all this to be my partner?”

Goering: “Damn straight I did. Are you in?” (extends hand).

Crusher: “I'll think about it.” (turns and leaves).


9. Cruiserweight Champion Sabu vs. Danny Hodge.

Sabu was accompanied to the ring by Abdulla Farouk. Sabu hurled himself at Hodge, but Hodge leaped out of the way, and Sabu struck the turnbuckle. Hodge hit a dropkick, followed by an armdrag. He tried a Samoan slam, but Sabu rolled out of it and dropkicked Hodge to the floor. He then flew over the top rope with a body attack that nearly knocked both men out.

Both men made it back into the ring before the count, and Sabu locked a Camel Clutch, but Hodge broke free. Sabu grabbed a chair and went for the Triple Jump Moonsault, but Hodge moved out of the way, and Sabu belly-flopped on the mat. Hodge hit a couple of drop kicks and a Samoan slam again before trapping Sabu in the Oklahoma Roll for the three-count.

Winner and New Cruiserweight Champion: Danny Hodge by pinfall.

Aftermath: Hodge left ringside, and Sabu started to get to his feet, when The Terrible Turk walked out. He grabbed Sabu by the throat and tossed him into the turnbuckle. He then backed up for a charge, when Farouk grabbed Sabu and pulled him to the floor.


8. Angelo Mosca vs. Hulk Hogan.

Hogan tried to play to the crowd, who gave him mixed reactions. Mosca attacked Hogan before the bell and began choking him with the ropes. He punched and kicked Hogan and slammed him to the mat. He locked the Sleeper, but Hogan threw him to the turnbuckle and immediately 'Hulked-up.' Hogan pounded on Mosca, who retreated to the floor. He dragged Hogan out and smashed him into the railing. Mosca then rolled Hogan back in, adjusted his elbow pad, and hit an elbow drop for the pin.

Winner: Angelo Mosca by pinfall.

Aftermath: Hogan held his hand out, but Mosca ignored it and left ringside. He posed as he walked to the back as the crowd booed. Meanwhile Hogan grabbed a microphone.

Hogan: “I know a lot of you here don't like me, and that's okay. I demanded a lot while I was here, but let me tell you something, brother. I have a great respect for those who fight their hearts out to earn their shots here. This federation will be all right. Thank for you, Shon, for giving me one last match. And to the rest of you, best wishes and-”

Suddenly, Kylla Cabal hit the ring. He smashed Hogan in the face with the Heavyweight Title and proceeded to drop fist after fit into Hogan's bloody face. Kylla then grabbed a microphone.

Kylla: “Hogan, you've been ******** for months about not getting your shot! Well here's your [censored] shot, right now! Ring that bell!”

Kylla picked Hogan up and hit the KIA (Sambo Plex) and covered Hogan as the referee counted to three. Kylla then got up and grabbed the microphone (and his belt).

Kylla: “Congratulations, you just got your wish, you big, bald piece of ****”

Frank Gotch and George Hackenschmidt were in the locker room when The Crusher walked back there.

Gotch: “Hey, Crusher, we saw you made a new friend.”

Crusher: “What do you mean by that?”

Gotch: “Nothing, I just thought it was funny. He slapped you and started a fight just to shake your hand.”

Hack: “People have their own ways of acting that make perfect sense to themselves.”

Crusher: “Well, now he wants to be my tag team partner.”

Hack: “What's wrong with that?”

Crusher: “You two are the tag team. I can't intrude on that.”

Gotch: “Intrude on what? It's competition. There's always room for more.”

Hack: “If you two end up successful, then Frank and I definitely want to test ourselves against you.”

Fritz Von Goering walked to the back.

Goering: “So, Crusher, did you make a decision?”

Gotch: “Go for it, Crush.”

Goering: “Speaking of which, I thought we could be called 'Crush n Gore' because that's what we do to our opponents.”

Crusher: “Right, I'm in. Let's go tell Shon so we can enter the tournament.”

Crusher and Goering left.

Hack: “I think the tournament just got interesting.

Angelo Mosca walked to the back and chuckled when he saw Gotch.

Mosca: “What's this? Don't they have a muscle requirement here, like you have to have some?”

Gotch: “Excuse me?”

Mosca: “Oh, the string bean speaks! Try eating some spinach, kid. Maybe then you'll have a six pack like me (punches his own stomach).”

Gotch: “Looks more like you drank the whole factory. (turns back to his locker)”

Mosca: “What'd you say to me, punk?”

Mosca slapped Gotch in the back of the head. Gotch spun around, but Hack jumped in.

Hack: “Leave now, Mosca. There's no reason for this.”

Mosca: “Tell your toothpick friend to watch his mouth before he gets really hurt.”

Gotch: “Did you fall and hit your head? I thought it'd be too hard to-”

Ox: “You want to know why I attacked you last week? Let me take you back to my past. I got into wrestling because I got mad a lot. When I was a kid, I had a bicycle. It was black with silver streaks and dark red lights. I loved that back...until someone stole it! Someone walked into my yard and stole my bike! I was crushed...so I decided to crush every piece of trash in my way. A few weeks ago, I went back home and found out the truth. That prick who stole my bike, Yukon Eric, was You! You broke my heart! So now, I'm gonna return the favor. (punches the palm of his hand) Do you hear me, Eric? I'm gonna break your heart!”

SAGA

10-10

Clips were shown from the previous show when Killer Kowalski destroyed Richard Hutton in a Tables Match.

Earlier this week:

Richard Hutton was lying on a hospital bed, with one arm and leg in a sling. His body is bandaged in various places.

Nurse: “Mr. Hutton, someone's here to see you.”

Hutton: (weakly) “Good, send Pepper in.”

Killer Kowalski walked in instead. Hutton's eyes went wide.

Kowalski: “Good evening, Richard. My stars, you look like you've been buried in Egypt for years.”

Hutton: “What...do you want?”

Kowalski: “Why, I'm here to visit you, Richard. Why else would I be here? (takes a step closer; Hutton pulls back and cringes slightly) You know, you create some funny expressions when you're terrified and in pain. I wonder...”

Kowalski mock-lunges at Hutton, who pulls back and cringes.

Kowalski: “Wow, I never realized I had that effect on you. You know, you look so funny when you make those faces. I'm sorry...I don't mean to...(starts laughing out loud). You just look so...(starts laughing again, leaning on Hutton's leg that's on the sling. Hutton cries out). Oops, I apologize. I'll leave you now; I wouldn't want to cause you any more suffering, no matter how humorous you are.”

Kowalski walked out. Hutton breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, Kowalski ran in, roaring. Hutton screamed in terror, then cried out loudly as his whole body jerked. Kowalski had tears in his eyes from laughing so hard.

Kowalski: “Thank you, Richard. You are so good at uplifting my mood. (leaves as Hutton whimpers).”

The Turk tortured Savage T for several minutes before locking the Neck Wrencher.

Winner: The Terrible Turk by knockout.

Aftermath: Farouk introduced the newest member of his group; Jushin Liger!

Farouk: “That's right, Liger has joined me! Street Reaper, Liger sees you as a discrace, mocking his culture by pretending you're one of them. And Tiger Mask, by aligning yourself with Reaper, you are a traitor. Reaper, you and Tiger will learn a harsh lesson in humility very soon!”


3. Pepper Gomez vs. Timber.

Ed “Strangler” Lewis accompanied Timber to the Ring. Timber tried to brutalize Gomez, but Gomez kept out--maneuvering the larger man. Finally, Gomez shocked his opponent with a Mexican Cradle for the win.

Winner: Pepper Gomex by pinfall.

Aftermath: Gomez grabbed a microphone.

Gomez: “Killer Kowalski, what you did to my amigo last week was horrible, but what you did to him just days ago was insulting. I challenge you to a match in this ring, anywhere, anytime!”

Kowalski walked out, stopping to stand by Lewis and Timber. Lewis handed him a microphone.

Kowalski: “Pepper Gomez, do not blame me. It's not my fault your 'amigo' is so funny-looking when he suffers. But if you want to face me, we must be on equal ground. So I'll make our match-up even.”

Kowalski reached under the ring and grabbed a ladder. He stood it up next to the apron.

Kowalski: “There, now we will be able to look eye-to-eye.”

Gomez: “...I don't get it.”

Kowalski: “Simple, if I have to fight a midget, I want our match to be even.”

Lewis: “Be careful, Walter. We don't want to offend the midgets of the world. They might write in.”

Kowalski: “How can they reach the mailbox?”

Lewis: “Oh come now, Walter, this is the computer age. All they need is a booster seat and they can email their complaints in.”

Kowalski: “Then we shall see how many peers Pepper Gomez really-”

Gomez cut Kowalski off with a baseball kick into the ladder, sending it crashing into the three foes. Kowalski was up first, but Gomez leaped off the apron and dropped him with a flying punch. Gomez then took off to the back as a livid Kowalski helped Lewis and Timber to their feet.


4. Tiger Mask vs. Danny Doring.

Both men hit several flying moves, until Tiger surprised Doring with a Tiger Suplex.

Winner: Tiger Mask by pinfall.

Aftermath: Street Reaper grabbed a microphone.

Street Reaper: “Abdullah Farouk, I see you have brainwashed Jushin Liger, for he and I had worked out our differences years ago. At least I thought we had. I have nothing of myself that I need to defend. I am proud to have lived in Japan, and I consider their culture my own. I train Tiger Mask as I train Giant Baba...as I myself have trained over the years. We shall see if Liger succeeds of falls under your instruction. Then we shall also see who truly mocks our culture.”


5. Ultimate Champion Dan Severn vs. Steve Corino.

Corino was accompanied to the ring by So-Cal Val, while Severn was joined by Sherri Martel. Severn attacked Corino quickly and brutally. Corino managed to gain an advantage when Sherri ran around the ring and attacked Val. She threw Val into the apron and punched her in the face and stomach.

Clips were shown from previous weeks when Ox Baker attacked Yukon Eric, then stated that he was getting revenge for Eric stealing his bicycle when they were kids.

Yukon Eric walked to the ring.

Eric: “Ox, I don't want to run and hide. Let's settle this like adults right now.”

Ox Baker walked out and stood before him in the ring.

Eric: “Look, I'm sorry you were so hurt by what happened, but we were both kids. I didn't know any better, and I made a mistake. I'm here because I want to apologize.”

Eric held out his hand. Ox hesitated, then took his hand, then pulled him face to face.

Ox: “And I want my bicycle back, you stone-hearted bastard! Why did you do it to me? Why? WHY? WHY? WHY?”

Ox began screaming that word as he grabbed Eric by the head and pounded him to the mat. Captain Lou Albano and the Samoans ran out to break it up.

Clips were shown from last week when GM Shon Maxx announced the matches for the first round of the Tag Team Tournament.


6. Tag Team Tournament Round 1:
New Age Outlaws vs. The Mongols.

Winners: New Age Outlaws when Road Dog pinned Getto Mongol.

Clips were shown from the previous week when The Crusher and Fritz Von Goering formed a tag team.


7. Tag Team Tournament Round 1:
The Samoans vs. Red Justice.

Winners: Red Justice when The Mountie pinned Samu.


Gorgeous George and Buddy Rose were shown in the back, watching the match.

George: “I'm so glad we have true gentlemen like The Mountie and Red Bastein winning matches over those brutes.

Rose: “And speaking of brutes, next week, we have to face Crush and Gore. Ewww, how disgusting, those rodents are!”

George: “Make sure Jeeves and my wife bring plenty of spray to the ring to rid ourselves of their horrible stench.”

Rose: “The mere thought of it makes me feel faint. Jeeves, the smelling salts, quickly!”

George: “Make that for me as well before I pass out on this filthy floor!”


8. Number 1 Contender's Match for The Heavyweight Title:
Giant Baba vs. Ted Dibiase.

Bobby Heenan accompanied The Million Dollar Man to the ring. Street Reaper accompanied Baba to the ring. The bell rang, and Baba lunged forward, sending Dibiase crashing into Heenan. Baba nailed a back suplex and piledriver. He went for a cover, but a groggy Heenan pulled the referee out of the ring. The referee warned Heenan and slipped back into the ring. Baba tossed Heenan all around the ring and went for a flying clothesline off the turnbuckle, but Heenan ducked, and Baba struck the referee. Dibiase struck Baba from behind and smashed him into the turnbuckle. Baba, however, fought back again, and again Heenan tried to help his wrestler, but Street Reaper chased Heenan from the ring. Baba hit the Neckbreaker Drop and covered Dibiase.

Before the referee could count, however, Kylla Cabal ran through the crowd and hit the ring. He smashed the referee over the head with the Heavyweight Title and did the same to Baba. He then slipped out of the ring and over the guardrail before Reaper could get to him. The referee came to and, furious over becoming a target in the match, called for the bell.

Referee's decision: Double Disqualification!

Aftermath: Cabal pulled out a microphone as he walked through the crowd.

Kylla: “There, I just knocked my top challengers off the top. From now on, you better find me some more-wothy challengers, or I'll just-”

Shon Maxx: “Hold on a minute, Kylla.”

Shon and Headstalker appeared behind Kylla at the entrance to the fans seats.

Shon: “I know you're furious with the way you were treated in the past, so I gave you a chance to unleash your frustrations. But I never said you could openly assault anyone you wish. I still have a job to do here, and I will maintain order. If you want someone to beat up, fine, but we do it on my terms, not yours. And those terms start next week with you defending your title against the two challengers you supposedly knocked off the ranks; Dibiase and Baba. Next week you'll defend in a Triple Threat Match. You want to take out your frustrations? Next week, you'll have your chance.”

Kylla: “Just stay out of my way, both of you.”

Kylla glared at both of them, though a moment longer at Headstalker, then stormed out.

SAGA

10-17

GM Shon Maxx was shown in his office.

Shon: “Greetings! Before we get on with the action, I'd like to announce that the main event for Fright Night, On November 3rd, will be The Blood Rumble, a 30-man rumble where the winner will be the number one contender for the Heavyweight Title. Also on the card will be the finals for the Tag Team Title. Finally, since the four men are busy competing for that title, they will not be able to compete in the Blood Rumble. It may suck, but why go through all the trouble in a tournament if you get another chance later that night? Anyways, tonight's main event is SAGA Champion Kylla Cabal against Giant Baba and Ted Dibiase. That's all for now. Enjoy the show!”

Frank Gotch was in the back when Angelo Mosca walked by.

Mosca: “Well, if it isn't the toothpick. What's wrong? No spinach in your diet?”

Gotch: “Who are you again?”

Mosca: “Watch your mouth, kid, or I'll slap you silly! You know who I am, and if we ever meet in the ring, you'll remember it.”

Mosca poked Gotch, who slapped his hand away.

Gotch: “Hey, anytime you want to break some of your bones, you can meet me in the ring. Until then, don't touch me again.”

Mosca: “Listen you little-”

Mosca grabbed Gotch by the shirt, but Gotch dropped him to the ground with an armbar into a facelock. Several officials tried to break up the two, but Mosca used the distraction to grab a chair. He smashed Gotch over the back and shoulder with the chair and continued smashing him. Finally, Hack ran in and knocked him down. Mosca took off as Hack tended to his friend.


Killer Kowalski, Ed “Strangler” Lewis, and Timber were in the ring.

Kowalski: “I've heard people say that wrestling dumbs people. Well, I'm here to change that by reading to you from a thesaurus. Let's see, I'll pick a word at random. Okay, 'Short'; tiny, miniature, minuscule, Pepper Gomez...well look at that! Pepper, you are famous and you never told us.”

Just then, a midget walked down to the ring and entered.

Midget: “Killer Kowalski, I work in the offices, and I don't appreciate you calling us midgets. We prefer to be called, 'little people.'”

Kowalski: “Sir, Pepper Gomez is 5'9”. He is a little person. You sir are a midget.”

Lewis: “Now now, Walter, we should respect them. After all, they've been called, 'God's Practical Joke.'”

Kowalski: “Really now? Well, I wonder...”

Kowalski kicked the midget in the groin. The guy flew a few feet in the air and came crashing down to the mat.”

Kowalski: “Well, what do you know...we salute you, sir.”

Suddenly, Pepper Gomez ran into the ring. He drop kicked Lewis and back body dropped Timber over the top rope. He charged at Kowalski, but Kowalski floored him with a clothesline. Kowalski then left the ring and grabbed a microphone, not seeing Gomez sneak up behind him. Kowalski made a remark towards the female ring announcer, who went to slap him. However, Kowalski moved, and she ended up hitting Gomez instead. Kowalski knocked Gomez down with a hard right hook, then turned to Lewis.”

Kowalski: “Hey, I hit Pepper, you hit Pepper, he (Timber) hit Pepper, she hit Pepper. (turns to the crowd) Wouldn't you like to beat up Pepper too?”

They left ringside.

Crush n Gore vs. The Beautiful People.

Crusher and Goering were waiting in the ring. Gorgeous George and Buddy Rose strutted out to, “I'm too Sexy,” while Jeeves and Sherri Dupre` rolled out the red carpet. Finally, Crusher and Goering got impatient and assaulted the two, hurling them against the posts and railing, and pounding on them.

SAGA Heavyweight Champion Kylla Cabal vs. Giant Baba vs. Ted Dibiase.

Baba cleaned house early on, knocking both men down. Kylla managed to knock Baba to the ropes and go after Dibiase, and the two fought to the floor. Baba managed to get up and knock both men down with a double elbow hammer off the apron. Baba pounded on Dibiase until Kylla ran in and broke a count. The match then continued for about 10 more minutes, and then Kylla got tossed to the floor by Baba. Baba then nailed Dibiase with the Neckbreaker Drop. Before he could pin him though, Kylla ran into the ring and nailed Baba with a chair. He then picked up Dibiase and hit the KIA onto a chair before covering Dibiase.

Winner and Still Champion: Kylla Cabal by pinfall.

Aftermath: Shon Maxx and Headstalker walked out as Giant Baba and Street Reaper were walkng to the back.

Shon: “Well, tough break, but I think you two deserve another chance. So at Fright Night, Baba, you and Dibiase are entered into the Blood Rumble. Also, I'm going to allow you to pick from numbers 21 to 30.”

Reaper: “Baba thanks you.”

Kylla then walked by and glared at them.

Kylla: “There, Shon, I did your little challenge. Are you happy now?”

Shon: “I am, but I'd be happier if you'd stop attacking people outside of matches.”

Kylla: “And I'd be happier if you just left me the hell alone! Both of you! (to Headstalker) And if you step in my face again-”

Shon: “That's enough! Kylla, you won your match and defended the title, but I'm warning you one last time. Stay out of other people's matches!”

Kylla scowled and stormed off.

Reaper: “What happened with him and you two?”

Shon: “Well, when we were all competing together, Kylla was getting frustated about being treated like dirt because of his background. Well, we all felt for the guy and gave him some space...well, most of us.”

Headstalker: “Hey, I was just a kid. I thought I was invincible, and I wasn't going to take anything from anyone.”

Shon: “Now, he thinks you're one reason he got fired.”

Headstalker: “Because we clashed a few times in the back? I've seen worse since I've wrestled. Kylla got canned because the people in charge were stupid, that's all.”

Shon: “Well, I hope he got some of that out of his system.”

Kylla dropped Trinity and looked to Shon, who had walked out with Headstalker.

Shon: “Kylla, I've given you chance after chance, and you keep doing whatever you want, so I'm stripping you of the title. Hand it over, now!”

Headstalker went to take the Heavyweight belt from Kylla, who snatched it away and smashed Shon with the belt. He then ran to the back. Shon started to get up, and he was furious, but Headstalker told him to wait and started walking to the back instead. Kylla then appeared on the U-Tron, dragging a camera-man outside. He pulled aside a manhole cover and dropped the title down. He started to make a call on his cellphone, when Headstalker ran out and knocked him down.

Fright Night

SAGA

Clips were shown from Fright Night when Killer Kowalski won the Blood Rumble. Kylla Cabal then ran out, attacked him, and declared that he would defend his belt against Kowalski right then and there. Headstalker ran out and attacked Kylla, allowing Kowalski to get the win and the belt.

GM Shon Maxx was walking through the back when he saw Kylla Cabal.

Kylla: “I hope you're happy.”

Shon: “I'm not doing too bad.”

Kylla: “Yeah, I'll bet, since you got your precious belt back.”

Shon: “Considering you weren't supposed to have the title in the first place, you shouldn't really complain. I let you run with it because I felt you deserved a shot, but then you started assaulting people at will. I repeatedly warned you, but you left me no choice but to strip you of the belt. But that wasn't good enough for you; you assaulted me and Headstalker and took the belt.”

Kylla: “Well, your buddy got revenge for you.”

Shon: “I had nothing to do with that, although I would glad take credit if it makes you feel better.”

Kylla: “So are you gonna sic the cops on me now?”

Shon: “Personally, I consider the matter closed, but I think you and Headstalker have some unfinished business.”

Kylla: “Anytime!”

Shon: “In two weeks, in our special show in England, you'll face off, and to keep things only semi-brutal, it'll be a tables match.”

Kylla: “Fine with me.”

Shon: “Oh yeah, you'll also be in a match tonight.”


1. Ted Dibiase defeated George South with the Million Dollar Sleeper.


Ed “Strangler” Lewis and Timber walked to the ring.

Kowalski: “For years, I've spoken of destiny, but now it is here. I wrestled in three matches and won them all. I am Your champion, and I plan to sit atop my throne for a very long time.”

Richard Hutton walked out.

Hutton: “Kowalski, the other night, you got lucky. In a fair fight, you could never beat me, and you know it!”

Kowalski: “If you wish to visit the hospital again, name the place and time, my old friend.”

Hutton: “Right here tonight, and put your belt on the line if you've got the guts!”

Kowalski: “You know, this reminds me of words to a song that's out now. The words go something like, 'I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all.' Now, Richard, I realize they were speaking for you. So, my dear friend, I shall grant your wish. First you will feel pain...then nothing...at all.”


2. Kylla Cabal pinned Savage T after a KIA.

Headstalker then appeared on the U-Tron.

Headstalker: “Kylla Cabal, you blame me for costing you the title, but that's only the beginning. Consider yourself fortunate to still breathe...for now. Assaulting me I can handle, but assaulting my mother forfeits your very life. So begin counting every one of your breaths, for in a few weeks, they will be your last. Kylla Cabal...You Have Been Targeted!”


Shon Maxx announced other matches for the show in England, including The Destroyer defending the Regional Title against Bruiser Brody in a rematch and Dan Severn facing Ultimate Champion Steve Corino. Next week, Corino and Trinity would face Severn and Sherri with the winners choosing the type of match when they fought in England.

4. In a rematch from weeks ago, Bruiser Brody defeated Harker Dirge after a Jumping Knee Drop.


5. Curt Hennig pinned Diamond Dallas Page after a Hennig Plex.


Frank Gotch walked to the ring, his wrist still wrapped up.

Gotch: “Mosca, you've proven you can't beat me or Hack in a fair fight, so you tried to assault us both. Now my friend is lying in a hospital bed and told he'll be out until sometime next year. Well, I'll be back in a couple of weeks, and I intend to see what happens when you face me head-on!”

Angelo Mosca appeared on the U-Tron.

Mosca: “Well, well, well, if it isn't String Bean. I can't be at the arena right now since I'm under suspension, but if it'll make you feel better, I'll accept your little challenge. Until then, I'd like you to meet my new friends.”

The Mongols then walked out with Sir Oliver Humperdink and surrounded Gotch. Suddenly, The Crusher and Fritz Von Goering ran out.

Crusher: “I guess Frank made some new friends too! In fact, let's all go at it in a 6-man tag match at that show in England!”


6. SAGA Heavyweight Champion Killer Kowalski pinned Richard Hutton after a Kowalski Claw. After the match, Kowalski hit a claw slam on Hutton again. Pepper Gomez ran out, but Timber smashed him with his 2X4. Lewis locked Hutton in the Strangler's Headlock while Timber pounded on him. Kowalski left the ring and got a microphone.

Kowalski: “All right, stop...Stop! That's enough, release him now!”

A surprised Lewis and Timber let Hutton go. Kowalski walked up to Hutton and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Kowalski: “I just want you to know, Richard, that I Do know the meaning of mercy...I just choose not to show any. Carry on.”

Kowalski left the ring with Lewis while Timber pounded on Hutton some more.

Giant Baba and Street Reaper walked into Shon Maxx's office. Shon was playing a game on the computer.

Shon: “Just a second, guys.” (curses)

Reaper: “Is that Go?”

Shon: “Yeah, I'm racing a 9 year old in your own country...and he's kicking my rear end.”

Shon cursed again, then turned off the computer.

Shon: “Little brat! Anyways, what's up?”

Reaper: “You saw what happened at Fright Night. The Terrible Turk attacked Baba and eliminated him from the match. I hear Dibiase has paid The Turk to eliminate Baba for good.”

Shon: “Yeah, well no harm was done to Baba so I can't really suspend Turk.”

Reaper: “We don't want him suspended. We run and hide from no one. We want a match with The Turk as soon as possible.”

Shon: “Well how about next week in England?”

Reaper: “Agreed, but how about tonight as well?”

Shon: “Baba already fought.”

Reaper: “And he will fight again if needed.”

Shon: “How about a compromise; tonight will be Baba and Tiger Mask against Turk and Jushin Liger.”

Reaper: “Agreed.”

Shon: “Good, now if there isn't anything else (turns back on the computer and pulls out a book), I have a sadistic foe to get revenge on.”

Reaper: “Well if you're that set on crushing a 9 year old, I suggest you read the chapter on 'Ono Maneuvers.' He seems fond of them.”

Shon: “Thanks.”


3. Timber defeated Larry Sharpe with a piledriver. After the match, Killer Kowalski entered the ring with a microphone.

Kowalski: “Next week, I will defend my title against little Pepper, and to make things even, we shall fight with a ladder. I look forward to traveling to England again.”

Timber: “I wanna see Big Ben!”

Kowalski: “You see many big ben's there. A pity they have such tiny brains.”

Lewis: “Now behave, Walter, England does have James Bond.”

Kowalski: “Oh yes, Bond, with the dumbest villains in the world.”

Lewis: “Walter, that's not very nice. They're people too.”

Kowalski: “They've been subhuman since Churchill, but no matter, they can finally be around greatness when I arrive.”


4. Yukon Eric defeated Harker Dirge. Ox Baker walked out.

Ox: “Eric, I've given you your time. Where's my bicycle?”

Eric: “Ox, I was a kid when it happened. I don't know where-”

Ox: “I thought you would say that. You have until next week. Bring it with you or I'll be bringing you back in a box!”


5. Frank Gotch defeated Geeto Mongol with the Gotch Toehold. Gotch's wrist was still bandaged, but he protected it well.


6. The New Age Outlaws defeated The Beautiful People when Billy Gunn Pinned Gorgeous George after a clothesline.

Shon: “Well, Dan, you've got your match for next week; the type is yours to choose.”

Severn: “I want a cage with no escape this time, pinfalls, submissions, or knockouts only!”

Shon: “Fine with me.”

Severn: “I also don't want to wait so I want our match to happen First! Before the national anthem, before you thank everyone for coming...I want our match to be before it all!”

Shon: “I don't have a problem with that; you just better have a good match.”

Severn: “Don't worry about that.”


8. Giant Baba and Tiger Mask defeated The Terrible Turk and Jushin Liger by disqualification when Turk refused to release his Stranglehold on Tiger. Baba then ran in and chased Turk from the ring.

Special card in England.

1. Steel Cage Match (No escape!):
Ultimate Champion Steve Corino vs. Dan Severn.

Severn tackled Corino immediately and busted him open with multiple punches. He then hit several suplexes and locked a choke sleeper. Corino escaped and tried to make a comeback. He bounced off the ropes for a running clothesline, but Severn sent him crashing into the side of the cage. Severn then hit the fireman's slam over and over before locking the Beast Choker. A bloody Corino quickly passed out.

Winner and New Ultimate Champion: Dan Severn by KO.


Killer Kowalski, Ed “Strangler” Lewis, and Timber appeared on a stage beside the entrance ramp. Kowalski and Lewis stood behind a table with shot glasses before them. Timber stood behind them. The table and glasses were decorated with the British flag.

Kowalski: “Here were are in merry old England! Now I believe I may have offended some of you with my comments last week. To show my regrets and respect for you, let us all stand for the British National Anthem.”

The fans all stood while Kowalski and and Lewis placed their hands on their hearts and looked to the British flag. Then on the speakers played the theme to Austin Powers. The fans booed while Lewis and Kowalski continued to stand at attention. When the song ended, both Kowalski and Lewis lifted their shot glasses to the crowd.

Kowalski: “Great people of Britain, I salute you!”

Kowalski drank from the glass and placed it, upside down, on the table.

Lewis: “Be careful, Walter. The people here find that gesture insulting.”

Kowalski: “What gesture?”

Lewis: “Placing a shot glass upside down on a table. It means '#$%& the Queen.'”

Kowalski: “It means, '#$%& the Queen?'”

Lewis: “It means, '#$%& the Queen.'”

Kowalski: “So, if I put my glass upside down on the table, like this (repeats his previous action), it means, '#$%& the Queen?'”

Lewis: “Yes, Walter, unfortunately, it does.”

Kowalski: “Well...(picks up the glass again and looks at it) It would take several more before that idea becomes appealing.”

Kowalski threw the shot glass over his shoulder and walked away. Lewis looked to the crowd, shrugged, and followed. Timber just followed them.


2. Diamond Dallas Page and the New Age Outlaws defeated Ted Dibiase and Perfectly Ravishing when Billy Gunn pinned Ric Rude after a roll-up. After the match, Page, Gunn, and Road Dog knocked Dibiase and Hennig out, then triple-teamed Rude, hitting a double spike piledriver and several flying elbow drops on him. Rude had to be taken from the ring on a stretcher.


3. Ox Baker defeated Yukon Eric by count out when Eric left ringside. He then emerged from the back with a bicycle.

Eric: “Here, Ox. I'm sorry. I hope this settles things between us.”

Ox was in tears as he approached the bike.

Ox: “My...my bike...my seat...my...Wait a minute! My bike had a Count Chocula sticker on the seat guard and red stripes! This ain't my bike! What the #&$# are you trying to pull?”

Ox picked up the bike and hurled it at Eric, who took off to the back. Ox chased him out of the area.

Ox: “I want my bicycle, you lying, two-bit, back-stabbing #$&%!”


4. The Sandman defeated The Mountie by disqualification. Both men had their weapons in the ring, when the U-Tron lit up. It showed Sandman using his Singapore cane on Dan Severn, then eliminating him from the Blood Rumble. As Sandman watched this, suddenly, Severn ran out and blindsided him. He hit a German Suplex and Fireman's Slam. He then locked the Beast Choker and held it for several seconds. Wild Red Berry ordered Mountie to leave the ring, meanwhile, and Mountie had no argument. Severn then got up and broke the cane over his knee, dropping it beside Sandman.

9. Headstalker defeated Kylla Cabal in a Tables Match after hitting the Targetter through a table outside the ring.

10. SAGA Heavyweight Champion Killer Kowalski defeated Pepper Gomez in a Ladder Match to retain the title. Gomez came close several times to grabbing the belt, but Kowalski managed to stop him at the last moment. Finally, Kowalski got Gomez outside the ring and hit the Bomb's away knee drop off the apron. He then locked Gomez in the Kowalski Claw and slammed him through an announcer's table. He managed to climb the ladder unhindered.

After the match, Kowalski, Lewis, and Timber were celebrating when GM Shon Maxx walked out.

Shon: “Great match, Kowalski. You won and retained your belt cleanly. Despite what I may think of you, you're still the champ, no if's, and's, or but's. However...you have about 30 days until your next title defense, and I know just the place. You will defend your belt at Season of Death on December 28th. As for your opponent, I chose someone who's been on a roll for the past few months. Actually, he's been on a roll for over a year, save for one little loss back in May.”

Kowalski: “Oh...you are not seriously going to-”

Shon: “Season of Death will be the place when you defend the SAGA Heavyweight Title...in a rematch from last year...against Giant Baba! If I were you, I'd start training now. From what I've seen Baba Really wants his belt back.”

Shon returned to the back as Kowalski just looked on in shock.

I liked the stuff involving Kowalski with the Austin Powers music and the shot glass.

[Shon Maxx]

Thanks, Vegas. I got the idea for the song from something Roddy Piper did in Mexico. My friend suggested the shot glass insult, and my response (and my friend's nearly dropping the phone reaction) sinpsired Kowalski's response.

I'm having a lot of fun pushing Kowalski as my top heel. If he survives Season of Death, I look forward to seeing what 2008 holds for him.



Take care,

Jay
