Make Believe Wrestling Federation proudly presents the PBeM wrestling extravaganza of the year, ******************************************************************************* * * * G R A P P L E W A R S I - F I G H T F O R T H E R I G H T * * * ******************************************************************************* ********************************** Welcome to the Morfa Stadium here in Swansea, where we await the arrival of our first two competitors. Hi, I'm your host throughout this huge event, Jim Hacker, and during the event, I'm going to have a few celebrities from the ranks of the Make Believe Wrestling Federation along to air their views on the matches as they happen. A special welcome goes out to those of you reading this who are not members of the M.B.W.F., and have subscribed to this mega- event. The official attendence for todays event is 50,409. Over to T.C.Kelly, now, who is in the dressing room area, talking to Wolverine. ********************************** Hi wrestling fans, T.C. Kelly here, talking to Wolverine, and getting his thoughts on the match he has here today, against former World Champion, Death Croc. Wolverine, first let me say what a pleasure it is to finally meet you. [Wolverine] "Well, T.C. it's mighty nice to meet you too. I've been watchin' you talk to all the other wrestlers here in the M.B.W.F. and I thought to myself, 'That babe's gotta cute way of puttin' things'. And here we are today, chattin' to each other." [T.C.] "Well, thank you Mr. Wolverine. Anyway, I'm interested, and I'm sure the other wrestlers are, in what you see as your personal mission here in the M.B.W.F.? Can you give me some kind of insight into what you want from the M.B.W.F.?" [Wolverine] "Ah, now you've got me. I ain't got a mission, as such. I'd just like to keep the World Championship belt around my waist for as long as possible. Death Croc, bear this in mind: I am the World Champion. You are just the challenger brother. I have what you want, and you want it so bad, you're gonna make the mistake which will end your career. I can guarantee it." [T.C.] "Is this what you've set out to do? Flummox your opponent into making that fatal mistake?" [Wolverine] "I don't need to make him make a mistake. He'll do that fine on his own!" [T.C.] "Thanks for the chat, Champ. Back to you Jim!" [Wolverine] (fading out) "Well, well missy. How d'ya like the champ ....." ********************************** Here is the result of the first match here today: Match #1: The Phantom def. The Inflictor by DQ after The Inflictor punched the referee in the face, causing the referee's nose to bleed real bad. The Inflictor continued his assault on The Phantom after hitting the ref, and he did some damage to The Phantoms ribs. Match length: 10:11. 2 points. Moments after The Inflictor left the area, Mach One and Your Worst Nightmare came to ringside to help The Phantom back to the dressing room. Jim Hacker here, along with B.J. James, and our first special guest of the day, MasterMind. Another disqualification for The Inflictor, there Beej. What is going on with this guy? [B.J.] "He doesn't need to win. He just want's to stomp on his opponents and make sure they don't get up. He's basically a maniac on the loose." [MasterMind] "I like the way this guy thinks. I mean, if he thinks at all. He just wants to see the destruction of all opponents. Now if he could be persuaded to join my organization, HAND, Inc., we'd make a brilliant team. The Gross Gladiator's gotta hear about yet another brilliant idea from your's truly ....." [Hacker] "Where are you going MasterMind? Come back and finish the conversation for the viewers!" [MasterMind] "Forget that, Hacker, I'm off to see the Gladiator before his match with The Great Tadaka." [B.J.] "Isn't he something, Hacker? His brain's always on the go." [Hacker] "He's certainly something Beej. I just can't figure out what is it yet!" ******************* A result from our second match: Match #2: Overkill defeated 'Devastator' Derek Machismo after Overkill used a number of piledrivers to overcome the Devastator. Machismo had control of the match early on, but after a thumb to his eye, he began to lose that control until Overkill managed to piledrive him into the canvas. The final blow came when Overkill executed a pile- driver from the second turnbuckle. Match length: 8:50. 2 points. 'Devastator' Derek Machismo was stretchered away from the ring, and rushed straight to a nearby hospital, where he's being examined. More news on the Devastator as it comes through. [Hacker] "Before we go any further, Beej, let's go over to T.C. Kelly in the locker room area, talking to John W. Jermanis, and his new athlete, The Great Tadaka." ***************** [T.C.] "Hi, again, wrestling fans. T.C. Kelly back again, this time joined by *THE* most notorious manager in the sport today, John W. Jermanis. Mr. Jermanis, can I say ...." [Jermanis] (interrunpting) "No you can't, woman! I'm here with my men in force today. Grapple Wars ..... it's no war for my stable, more like a playfight! You've already seen what The Inflictor can do, and The Phantom now knows too. The Great Tadaka here, is the next one up today, and boy oh boy, is The Gross Gladiator gonna be mad after this match. Tadaka has nothing to say, but he knows what's to do. Japan and the world will be watching today, and soon everybody will want to become a part of what Tadaka stands for: EVIL!" [T.C.] (snatching back her mic) "Do you mind! I have an interview to conduct with you, and if you're not gonna do it in an orderly manner then I suggest you leave!" [Jermanis] (walking away from the interview) "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just you wait Kelly. I'll prove what a real stable can do!" [T.C.] "And that seems to end this particular chat. Back to you Jim." **************** [Hacker] "Thanks T.C." [B.J.] "Hey Kelly, what's it feel like to be stomped on in one of your own interviews then?" [Hacker] "Keep it up, and I'm gonna knock you out! We're all set here for the third match in today's event. Before we go to ringside, let me just say that we have a few celebrities in the audience. So far, Debbie Gibson has been spotted, along with one of the most flamboyant singers of the rock world, Kiss' Paul Stanley." [B.J.] "Hey Hacker, there's no way people like that are gonna come to an event like this. Look around you. There are far too many people here to make their day pleasurable. What a dope!" [Hacker] "Keep it up ....." [B.J.] "Just making an observation, Hacker!" [Hacker] "Hmmm ..... anyway it's over to ringside for the third match, one which has only just been confirmed, but a very controversial match-up ..... The Gross Gladiator against the newcomer, The Great Tadaka." **************** [Ring Announcer] "Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the Master of the Ring championship title. Introducing first, Parts Unknown, weighing 287 pounds The Grrrooossss Glaaadiatooooooorr!" Out of the curtains appears MasterMind, closely followed by Tempest, and then The Gross Gladiator himself. Very much in a millitary style of marching to the ring, the 'troupe' halt halfway down the aisle to look around at the 50 thousand strong audience, most of who are booing this big man. The band of men get into the ring and literally take up half of it. Tempest get out of the ring, with much reluctance, after MasterMind tells them to watch Jermanis as he comes down the aisle. [Ring Announcer] "And his opponent, coming down the aisle from Japan, weighing 255 pounds, The Greeaaat Taaaaaddaaaakaaaa! Accomapnying him to the ring is his manager, John W. Jermanis." No music for either of these two men, here today, as Tadaka makes his way to the ring. MasterMind, in the ring, turns to see Jermanis and his new athlete striding down the ring, ready for business. MasterMind whispers something to The Gross Gladiator as Tadaka and Jermanis enter the ring. The face paint which Tadaka is wearing is kind of ugly in it's appearance, but I guess it's not meant to look pretty to his opponent. [B.J.] "Really!?! I thought he was gonna play 'Patty-cake' with the Gladiator. C'mon Hacker, do you really think that this match is gonna be a work of art? I can see both men being disqualified, or even knocking each other out!" [Ring Announcer] "And here is the referee for the match, the first athlete in the M.B.W.F. to actually referee a match, Doooooon Annnimaaaaaalll!" Out of the locker room runs Don Animal, rigged out in the familiar striped jersey and black trousers of a referee. Def Leppards' "Animal" plays over the sound system as the fans cheer this athlete turned referee. He gets into the ring and faces the Gladiator, and MasterMind looks on in disgust. Tadaka acknowledges Don Animal, and then the bell is rung to get the match under way. Both men circle the ring for a short period, before locking up. Tadaka gets shoved back into his corner by the Gladiator. Tadaka looks to the outside of the ring, at Jermanis, and scowls. Again the two men lock it up, and again Tadaka gets shoved back into his corner by the big man. Frustrated, Tadaka starts to kick the bottom rope to vent some of his anger. Once more both men lock up, but this time Tadaka drops down on his butt, kicking his legs out in front of him as he goes, and brings the Gladiator down, in a doubled-up kind of position. Tadaka uses his speed and agility to flip to his feet and apply a front face lock to the bemused Gladiator. MasterMind is screaming at the Gladiator to lift Tadaka off the canvas and do a belly-to-belly slam, but, hearing the voice of MasterMind screaming, Tadaka lets go of the Gladiators head and swiftly moves back to his corner, where Jermanis stands on the ring apron. Jermanis says something to the newcomer, and Tadaka moves back into the centre of the ring. Jermanis jumps down off the ring apron and stands in the centre of his side of the ring, looking every now and then at the locker room curtains. [B.J.] "Oh boy. He's up to something! I can feel it!" Tadaka ducks out of the Gladiators way, as a clothesline is attempted by the big man, and, as the Gladiator turns, Tadaka connects with a big drop kick. But the big man stays on his feet. MasterMind laughs at Jermanis, who is still looking shifty. The Gladiator, again, tries a clothesline, and this time takes Tadaka down to the canvas. Up get the Gladiator, and rebounds off the near ropes, and plants a big elbow right on the chest of Tadaka. Jermanis on the outside turns his attention to the ring, at last, and looks on in horror as the Gladiator starts pummeling his opponent with closed fists. Don Animal pushes the Gross Gladiator off Tadaka, a move which seems a bit provocative for a ref. Furious at the actions of Animal, the Gladiator rises to his feet and makes a grab for Don Animal, but, swiftly, Animal ducks out of the way. Tadaka gets to his feet, in the meantime, and positions himself behind the Gladiator who has his attention still focused on Animal. Quickly, Tadaka runs at the Gladiator and leaps into the air, bulldog-ing the Gladiator in mid-flight. The crowd here in Swansea are going completely insane with screams as we see the two other athletes from Jermanis' stable make their way down the aisle. MasterMind has also seen the two, and tells Thunder and Lightning to start back up the aisle. Back inside the ring, the Gladiator has been rolled over, and Tadaka is making a cover. 1 ..... ..... 2, but a two count is all he gets. Tadaka rises to his feet and forces the Gladiator to stand, and executes a standing drop kick. [B.J.] "Now there's an athletic move for ya, Hacker!" Again the Glaiator hits the canvas, but this time, instead of covering for the pinfall, Tadaka moves to the outside of the ring, and climbs to the top rope. Jermanis, at this time, is making his way back to the locker room, behind him is MasterMind, and already in the locker room area are The Inflictor, Evil Einstein and Tempest. Tadaka shifts his knee pad slightly, and takes to the air, as the Gladiator lays prone to attack. Connecting the knee pad to the Gladiators chest, Tadaka senses victory, and covers for the pin once again. 1 ..... ..... 2, but again it's only a two. A frustrated Tadaka climbs the ropes again and leaps off the rope, high into the air, and connects his knee pad again to the chest of the Gladiator, who doubles up in pain. Don Animal smiles as he sees the pain being dished out to the Gladiator. And Tadaka goes for another pin. 1 ..... ..... 2 ..... 3!! But wait, the Gladiators shoulder was off he canvas. But Don Animal gave the signal for the bell to be rung, and we have a new Master of the Ring! [Ring Announcer] "Here is your winner, and *NEW* Master of the Ring, The Greeeaaaatt Taaaaada- aaaakaaaaaa!" Back in the dressing rooms, Jermanis, The Inflictor and Evil Einstein hear the announcement and immediately rush to ringside to see Tadaka holding the belt in the air. The Gladiator looks to Don Animal and starts moving in on him. Animal vacates the ring, but The Gross Gladiator goes out after him. Animal decides to stand his ground , but the Gladiator flies off the ring apron and connect with a big clothesline, which looks to hurt him, as he holds his chest in pain. But Don Animal is down on the concrete floor, writhing after being clocked with a devastating clothesline. The Gladiator stands up and starts to pummel Animal with a series of kicks, and suddenly leaves after 'hearing' a call from somewhere. Back in the ring, Jermanis and his men are celebrating the victory over one of the longest standing champions in the M.B.W.F., and Einstein and The Inflictor carry The Great Tadaka back to the dressing rooms on their shoulders amongst a barrage of boos and jeers from the wrestling fans here today. [B.J.] "Well, I knew that Jermanis had something up his sleeve, and well, what a diversionary tactic that was, Hacker! He got Tempest to go back to the locker area by sending out Evil Einstein and The Inflictor, and then he gets MasterMind to follow him back too!" [Hacker] Well Beej, that's true, but the officiating by Don Animal was a bit off course. The Gladiators shoulder was off the canvas ..... [B.J.](interrupting) "But if he didn't see it, he can't call it!" [Hacker] Yes, I know that Beej, but surely he could see the slight tilt on the Gladiator and his body? [B.J.] "If he'd seen it, don't you think he would have called it??" [Hacker] Well, Animal and Gross both hate each other, so I'd say No to that question. [B.J.] "Well you would, Hacker!" [Hacker] We'll try and get a few words from Don Animal later on in this huge event, but until then it's over to T.C. Kelly. ********************************* Thanks Jim, and Beej, go suck a lemon! I'm here with Crunch, one of the most promising young athletes in the federation. Crunch, let me ask you what you aim to do today? [Crunch] "Go right ahead. The task which I have today is, of course, teaching Rad Pit Bull a lesson in good wrestling and good manners." [T.C.] "I see. You say good manners, what do you mean by this?" [Crunch] "For a while, now, I've been watching the spectacular action here in the Make Believe Wrestling Federation, and I've seen how Mr. Bull treats his opponents in the ring, and out of the ring. So today I intend to put an end to the way he treats good folk like you and me!" [T.C.] "I would like to say that I admire your ways, and I can see you stand for all that is right in the M.B.W.F. Who are your influences, and where do you get your styles from?" [Crunch] "Well, lemme see. The Ultimate Warrior is a close friend of mine, as is the Stinger. Two of the most charismatic wrestlers in the business. Crush is also an influence of mine. The power of that guy is amazing. I have advice from my two buddies, and we train hard together, and we enjoy it." [T.C.] "Well, you're certainly equipped for the grappling profession. Crunch, it's been a pleasure to talk to you. Any last words before we go back to Jim and B.J.?" [Crunch] "Rad Pit Bull - you're gonna get yours. B.J. - leave T.C. alone, or you'll also find out how I can change peoples attitudes!" [T.C.] "Thank you Crunch!" [Crunch] "Thanks T.C." ****************** [Hacker] Crunch talking to T.C. Kelly. Well, Beej, how do you like that? You've been warned by Crunch himself. [B.J.] "Meathead! He couldn't change his socks in the morning, let alone someones attitude!" [Hacker] Back to ringside for our fourth match. ****************** [Ring Announcer] "The following contest is scheduled for one fall, with a 20 minute time limit, for the Ladies World Championship!! Introducing first, hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, weighing 145 pounds, Aaangeellll Piiiiiit Buuuuullll!" Ozzy Osbournes 'HellRaiser' starts to play on the P.A. and from out of the dressing room steps the form of Angel Pit Bull. Striding confidently to the ring, she stares straight ahead, concentrating on her job. She enters the ring over the top rope, and does a forward flip on to her feet. Angel moves to the turnbuckles and stands still, waiting for her opponent. [Ring Announcer] "And her opponent, accompanied down the aisle by her manager, The Slaughter Lady, From Death Valley, Theeeeee Cooooouunteeeeeeess!" L.A. Guns' 'Over The Edge' sounds out of the speakers here in the stadium as The Countess solemnly makes her way to the ring. The wrestling fans are not pleased to see this particular athlete make her way to the ring. As she gets into the ring, Angel rushes in on her and makes her move early on in the match. The Countess hasn't yet taken off her over-coat, as Angel starts laying in with closed fists. The referee trying to restore some sort of order to the match, as The Slaughter Lady steps in and connects a headbutt to Angel. The referee did not see it, and the match gets under way in a more orderly fashion. Both women waste no time and immediately lock up in the centre of the ring. The Countess shoves back Angel, turns to Slaughter Lady laughing at Angel, but when she turns back to Angel she gets hit with a drop kick from Angel. Angel drags the Countess from the canvas, and applies a side-headlock, piling on pressure all the time. The Countess lowers her hips and grabs the back of Angels thighs, and lifts her off her feet, and both women come crashing to the mats in a back suplex. Angel has gotten the wind knocked out of her for a moment, as The Countess again gets to her feet, and takes control of the match. The Slaughter Lady, on the ring apron, startspointing to the turnbuckles, and shouts, "Ram her into the corner!". The Countess grabs a handfull of Angels hair and proceeds to bang Angels head into the top turnbuckle. A series of 8 bashes before the referee, gets to a four count and she just throws Angel to the canvas. From the dressing room, Rad Pit Bull can see how his sister is getting on in the squared circle, and he doesn't like what he sees. Quickly he runs out of the locker room and hurtles towards the ring, where he stands on the apron shouting encouragement to his sister. Angel, hearing her brothers voice, looks around the ring and sees the Countess on the opposite side of the ring. With great effort, Angel stands up and makes a rush for the Countess, in a running clothesline attempt. Slaughter Lady shouts, and The Countess ducks out of the way, but it's the Slaughter Lady that gets clobbered with the move, and The Countess can't believe her eyes. Angel turns around and focus- es her attention on the Countess, and again tries a clotesline. This time she connects, and the stunned Countess goes to the canvas. Dragging the Countess off the mats, Angel climbs the turnbuckles and comes down off the second buckle, connecting her elbow to the top of the Countess' head. The Countess reels back across the ring and Angel follows through with a drop kick, which sends the Countess crashing to the mats. Angel goes down for the cover. 1 ..... .....2, but a two count is all she gets, as the Countess kicks out. Angel again forces The Countess from the mats and side head-locks her, then she drags the Countess to the turnbuckle and slides her into the corner. Irish whip into the opposite corner sends the Countess into fits of pain, and she slumps down to the canvas once again. On the outside, the Slaughter Lady is regaining her senses after the clothes- line she recieved from Angel. Slaughetr Lady moves towards the dressing room area, slowly staggering up the aisle. Inside the ring, the Countess can see her manager going back up the aisle, and gets up off the canvas in order to follow, but Angel won't let her get out of the ring. Angel executes a back suplex and both women crash down to the canvas, the Countess on top of Angels outstretched arm. Angel winces in pain as the Countess lands heavily on her arm, but she gets up regardless. The Countess slowly makes it to her feet and attempts a last ditch move on Angel, in the form of a headbutt, but Angel drops down just in time, and uses the Countess' tights to thorw her out of the ring. The Countess lands on the outside of the ring heavily and Angel follows her out, by dropping a double axe handle on to the back of the Countess' neck. The Countess doesn't flinch as the blow strikes, and she gets to her feet, maddened by what Angel has just pulled off. Three big forearm uppercuts connect to the side of Angels head, and the Countess climbs back into the ring. Angel gets up from her knees, on the outside of the ring, and slowly clambers back into the centre of the ring. Meanwhile, The Countess has climbed to the top rope and, after getting Angel's attention, she launches herself into the air with a clothesline. Angel, just managing to get her wits about her, catches the flying Countess and proceeds to use her patented 'Flip Side' finisher. She drops the Countess to the canvas, on her feet, side suplex-es her and rams the Countess' face and chest into the canvas. Angel rolls her over for the pin. 1 ..... .....2 .....3!! The referee get to the three and we have a new Ladies World Champion. [Ring Announcer] "Here is your winner, and *NEW* Ladies World Champion, Aaaaangellll Piiiiit Buuuullllll!!" The Countess slinks out of the ring, clutching her chest and stomach area, and slowly walks back to the locker room, while Rad and his sister celebrate the victory in the centre of the ring. What a result for Angel Pit Bull there Beej. [B.J.] "Well, I knew she could do it, Hacker. It's just a matter of time." [Hacker] Joining B.J. and myself, at this time, is 'Deadly' Denise Dean, who was watch- ing that match with great interest. Denise, what do you make of that result? ['Deadly' Denise Dean] "Well, Jim, I must say, it's taken Angel a long time to take the title from The Countess, but now she's got it, I'll start my climb to the top of the Ladies League. I honestly think the match was well fought, and both women really took a fair amount of punishment from each other. A good match." [B.J.] "You don't say?!? I disagree with this, Hacker. Women shouldn't do that to each other. But I will agree with Denise, here ..... that was a great match, Hacker." [Hacker] Denise, you're not wrestling here today, but you're in you ring attire. What's the deal? ['Deadly' Denise Dean] "Jim, I thought you knew me. I'm always ready to step in for any injured athlete, because that's the kind of competitor I am. Always on duty!" [Hacker] Well Denise, I have to say that you may be ready for action but will you see any today? ['Deadly' Denise Dean] "Maybe, maybe not! I can't decide that, so it's up to my manager, The Magpie. He say's wether I help a fellow athete or not." [B.J.] "Where is your manager now, Denise?" ['Deadly' Denise Dean] "I'm not sure, B.J. He had to go and see a man about a match, or something, but I'm sure he's not far away!" [Hacker] Thanks you Denise. It's over, once again, to T.C. Kelly." ****************** T.C. Kelly here again, wrestling fans. Well, the action is hot here in the Morfa Stadium today, and we're not even halfway though this colossal event. With me, now, is Master 'Bud' Wiser, one half of the World Tag Team Champions, The Slammers. Bud, where's your partner? [Wiser] "He's had to go to see some guy about another federation out back for a while, but he'll be in soon." [T.C.] O.k., you're facing the new team of Fear and Terror, Pain Unbound, for your championship later on today. What's the game plan? [Wiser] "Beat 'em, and beat 'em hard! Don't let 'em get up from the canvas, and pound them into a pulp!" (In the back of the room we can see the shape of the Alabamma Slamma coming towards the camera) [T.C.] Ah, here comes your partner now, Bud. Hey Slamma, come on over here and talk to me! [Slamma] "I'm comin'! Hold your horses little lady!" [T.C.] Bud has just been saying that you intend to beat your opponents here today. What do you have to say about this? [Slamma] "I agree whole-heartedly! Do you realise we're the champions? We're the best! No-one can beat us, but may have tried!" [T.C.] I can see the gold around your waists, and I can say now that the gold looks real good where it is, but what if you happen to lose today? [Slamma and Wiser] "NO WAY!" [T.C.] You're very confident that you'll keep the belts, gentlemen. [Wiser] "That's 'cos we WILL keep the belts, Kelly! Oh man, I've had enough of this talkin'. I'm goin' Slamma!" [Slamma] "Hey, wait up Bud. We haven't finished our talk with this fine woman yet!" (Master 'Bud' Wiser walks away, while the Alabamma Slamma tries his hardest to talk him into coming back to finish the talk. But Wiser doesn't want to!) [Slamma](hurriedly) "Sorry, T.C. I gotta go see what's buggin' him. Excuse me!" [T.C.] That's ok, Slamma. See Ya! Back to you, B.J. ******************** ******************************************************************************* * * * Please now read Part 2, for more of the action here in the * * wrestling PBeM extravaganza of the year, * * * * G R A P P L E W A R S 1 - F I G H T F O R T H E R I G H T * * * ******************************************************************************* -- James W.
