Several years ago I gave up trying to source the stuff I wrote for SCW on the original TWCF forum. I was quite irked as I'd written (along with segments from many other TWCF members) around 50 episodes, 12 PPVs and a ton of stand-alone segments when eCw wasn't around. Well tonight after a simple Google search I've realised that I posted the first 15 episodes of SCW Jinx and the first few PPVs onto a separate forum that I can still get into! As it's the beginning of the batch the shows are quite short and not the greatest but it's still amusing to read about folk I'd totally forgotton about. It's a shame I can't find the later shows as they were much better thanks to the increase of input I was getting from the likes of FNS, Ghostface, Baz, Nev and others. They also featured innovations such as the SCW World Cup, the Forum Horsemen vs The Tartan Army, the first ever wrestling musical episode, the Backyard Massacre Superbowl half-time show, and the No-rope Ticking Time-bomb Exploding Swimming Pool Death Match Thingy between Styles Clash and Shake This!
I'll format the stuff I can access to make it look prettier and post them here in order for you to skim through - I might still have access to some of the images so if I can find them I'll slot them in too. I think the shows I've found go just past the beginning of the infamous 'Who Shot Sheriff Baz?' storyline Big Bal, Ghosty, Sabinite, Baz, FNS, ExGenesys, Firework and Mikey Richards feature heavily I believe...
Haha, good stuff. I've probably still got anything I did for it on my PC somewhere (not on this laptop). Seems like a good way to spend some of my summer.
Haha, good stuff. I've probably still got anything I did for it on my PC somewhere (not on this laptop). Seems like a good way to spend some of my summer.
I've just read through some of these early shows and totally forgot we had a feud because I banned the Shooting Star Tombstone but you kept on using it! Haha I'll probably start posting the stuff tomorrow.
Lucozade Sport proudly presents the first-ever episode of SCW Jinx, the ONLY wrestling promotion to contain REAL TWCF superstars!!!
LADIES .... AND GENTLEMEN!!! Welcome to Showtime City Wrestling!!!
"Can you feel it??!! FEEL the electricity!! Welcome to the ground-breaking first edition of SCW Jinx, I am your anchor for the evening, Mick Foley, and I am joined by the soon-to-be colour commentator of the year, Dwayne 'The Cat' Dibley!"
"OWWWWW!!!! My man, I cannot BELIEVE how AWESOME this will be! OWWWW!!!!"
Foley: "That's right, Cat! This is the first event EVER to be held in the brand-new 50,000 seater Showtime Stadium, and by God, will we have a rollercoaster of a ride tonight!"
*THEME TUNE: 'No One Knows' - Queens Of The Stone Age*
Foley: "Of course Cat, we have no clue whatsoever as to what's gonna go down tonight, or any night for that matter - all we know is that Mr.Showtime, the owner, will start off the show, and, well, here he comes right now!"
*Mr.Showtime makes his way down the ramp and into the ring. He takes a microphone from the announcer.*
Mr.Showtime: "......(waits for standing ovation to die down)........Wow!!! Look at all the people here tonight!!! (Huge cheers from the sold-out 50,000 crowd) I can't believe it. 50,000 people here to see Showtime City Wrestling. I never thought this would happen. But it has. And I have to get straight down to business, because I know why you folks are here. You're here to see wrestling matches, aren't you??! (huge cheers)
"Well, Showtime Citizens, you won't be disappointed. I have a huge announcement to make......the reading of the SCW roster!!! (huge cheers) I cannot name the whole roster at this time, but....the talent I CAN confirm will be contracted to my promotion includes the following:
Exgenesys!! (slight cheers)
Max Caschera!! (mixed ovation)
Shimmer!! (slight cheers, a couple of wild jeers)
Ki Crusher!! (a few female cheers, the rest boos)
The Dark Vampire!! (Boos)
'The Minstrel' Mark Henry!! (mixed ovation)
F.N.S!! (wild cheers)
Squat Rocker!! (wild booing)
Shake This!! (cheers)
Mikey Richards!! (cheers)
How's that for a roster huh??? I thought so. You guys like it?? Well, it's about time I announce the Championships they will be competing for. We will have THREE Championships in SCW. These will be:
.......and the SCW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!! (the crowd begin to wet themselves.)
"And guess what fans? We are gonna announce the FIRST-EVER SCW World Heavyweight Champion right here.....right now!!!! (wild cheers)
"After much deliberation,amongst myself,...... I, myself, have decided that the first World Champion HAS to be.....
MR.SHO........
*THEME TUNE: 'X.Y.U' - The Smashing Pumpkins*
Foley: "What the HELL??! This guy wasn't named on the roster!! Good God almighty - its BAL BOWSKI!!!" (biggest pop of the night)
*Bal Bowski steps into the ring and confronts SCW owner Mr.Showtime.*
Bowski: "Listen Ray, you weasel-faced arse.....you KNOW that what you're doing is wrong. You KNOW that you do not control everything. I don't know why you tried to get away with this, and you won't. The fans have a right to know about the commissioner!"
Showtime: "Well, hold on a second there Bal...I was about to.....
Bowski: "SHUT IT!!! I'm not gonna let you get away with it.....the fans need to know NOW about the SCW Commissioner....or should I say,
....the SCW Sheriff!!!"
*THEME TUNE: 'Elevation' by U2*
Foley: "Cat, I didn't think tonight would be so confusing after mere minutes, but here comes Sheriff Baz!!! - the SHERIFF of SCW!!!"
Cat: "Well I wouldn't wanna be on the wrong side of HIS law!!"
Sheriff Baz: "I'll get straight to the point, coz that's what I'm here for. No pointless chat - just action. Showtime, yeah you own the city, and yeah you own SCW, but you can't MAKE yourself become the first-ever SCW Champion. Not while the Sheriff is around! (huge cheers) So tonight, I feel I have the authority to make the first ever SCW Jinx main event!
Tonight, Bal Bowski, who IS on the active SCW roster, will compete.....against
Mr.Showtime!!! (disbelief in crowd)
"The Sheriff has spoken!!!" *Elevation theme begins*
Foley: "Well slap my ass and call me a bitch Cat! The first Jinx main event is a certified slobber-knocker - it's 'Big' Bal Bowski, versus the SCW owner Mr.Showtime, and this could determine the position of power AND the SCW World Title, here tonight on Jinx!!! We gotta go to a commercial break, but if you don't switch back, you are a complete idiot!!!"
Foley: "Welcome back to Jinx!! I hope you've stocked up on intestinal fortitude, coz you're gonna need buckets of it tonight!!! Mr.Showtime and Bal Bowski have left the ring, but the SCW Sheriff, Baz, is still in there."
Sheriff Baz: "Showtime may have announced the new SCW Championships, but it will be The Sheriff that decides the fate of them! Next week, I will fill you all in on the exact details of the Gimmick Title....however, that won't stop me making matches for that very title - right here tonight!!
"You are gonna see two matches tonight, with the winners to face each other somewhere down the road. That match will determine the first SCW Gimmick Champion. Slugging it out later on for a place in that match will be....
The Dark Vampire!! (boos, a small boy can be seen visibly shaken by just the very mention of the name)
and he will be taking on Ghostface!! (cheers)
"And the second match will be between ..... Ki Crusher!!! (indifference)
......and Mikey Richards!!! (cheers) Oh, and by the way, that match begins...NOW!!"
Ki Crusher vs Mikey RichardsGimmick Title Semi-Final Foley: "Crusher and Richards are very talented young superstars-in-the-making, although Ki Crusher seems to be a bit on the miffed side about the lack of applause he is receiving. On the other hand, Mikey Richards just seems happy to be here." The Cat: "Yeah man, I dunno what's eating that young monkeys' shoes, but he betta snap out of it, before Mikey snaps HIM!!"
Mikey Richards takes early momentum, but the tide changes when Crusher sends Richards shoulder-first into the steel post. Ki then uses the shoulder injury against Richards, and although he somehow makes a spirited comeback, his powerbomb finisher is countered by a blistering huricanranna. Mikey lands on the injured shoulder, Crusher hangs on and hooks the legs for the pin. WINNER: Ki Crusher
The Council vs Shake This and 'The Minstrel' Mark Henry Foley: "Max Caschera and Squat Rocker make up 'The Council', these two have been kicking ass, and taking names in the developmentals for months, and now are here to make an impact! The Cat: "But you gotta remember, the opposition have never teamed together ONCE. Shake This and The Minstrel have an uphill battle right here, OWWWWW!!!"
After a very early mess-up, Shake This becomes frustrated with Henry, and refuses to tag him in. Squat and Max eventually work on Shake, and he has no choice but to tag the Minstrel. He unleases his fury on The Council, and helps up Shake This...only to smack him right in the face! The Minstrel turns round, and the Council hit the Brick Wall, a huge-impact two-man DDT. Max makes the cover and gets the three. WINNERS: The Council
We see the backstage area. The camera pans down the hall, then enters a locker room. We see FNS in a thoughtful mood, staring at the floor. Exgenesys then walks in.
Exgenesys: "Hey man. Hey! You alright? (FNS looks up) Listen, I can't believe we're finally here, we gotta make an impact, and I know the way to do it. We're gonna go for the SCW Tag Titles!! You down with that? (FNS doesn't seem bothered) "I know what's wrong. You're missing HER, aren't you? Look, we gotta make a living. We can't be with our loved ones all the time. But listen...I got a surprise for ya. She's here." (FNS' eyes light up)
A girl walks into the dressing room...it's FNS' girlfriend, Kimberly Hart!! She hugs FNS.
Exgenesys: "Now, are you ready to down some clowns?"
FNS: (Looks at Exgenesys, and smiles) ".....Hell yeah."
The Dark Vampire vs GhostfaceGimmick Title Semi-Final The Vampire controls the WHOLE match, using chokes, throat thrusts, face stretches, and lots of other slow methodical dirty moves. However, out of nowhere, Ghostface countered a bodyslam into a reverse Mexican roll-up pin, and the Vampire is too shocked to kick out. WINNER: Ghostface
We see Mr.Showtime backstage, looking in a mirror. He sees a devilishly handsome specimen. Mr.Showtime: "I'm gonna make Bowski wish he never showed. Championship material he is NOT."
Exgenesys and FNS w/Kimberly Hart vs JaYo and Haraga A great tag match, both sides take control at different stages, and there is some fine mat-work and high-flying. The finish comes when FNS stops JaYo sleazing on Kimberly on the outside. ExGen is distracted, and Haraga attacks from behind, attempting a Scottish Suplex. However ExGen counters, lands on his feet, and performs the ExGenerator, which garners him the three count. WINNERS: FNS and Exgenesys
After the match is over, The Council appear on the ramp. They run down to the ring, and attempt to teach ExGen and FNS a lesson. However, FNS and ExGen retaliate and chuck the two attackers out the ring.
Mr.Showtime vs Bal Bowski Showtime attacks Bal as he acknowledges the crowd on the turnbuckles. Showtime hits the first move of the match, a top-rope superplex!! From then on, Showtime works on the lower back. For an owner, Showtime is very capable in the ring. A massive tilt-a-whirl backbreaker seems to finish it off, but Bowski gets a second-wind, and the crowd get firmly behind him as Bal unleashes lefts and rights. Showtime is in trouble!! He gouges Bal in the eyes and runs for cover out the ring, and finds a steel chair. He takes it into the ring, but the referee takes it back. As Showtime and the ref argue...
The Cat: "What the .....who's THAT??!" Foley: "It's SHIMMER!!!"
Shimmer enters the ring, and hits an STO on Bal Bowski!! The ref turns around as Shimmer leaves the ring. He is smiling intensely. Showtime grabs the chair back, and sees Bowski lying on the canvas. Does he go for the cover? Does he hell! THWACK!! Steel chair to the head of Bowski! Showtime hits multiple chair shots to Bal as the ref calls for the DQ. Shimmer re-enters, and hits a second STO on Bowski.
Foley: "This is heinous!!! That's the owner dammit! My God there better be hell to pay next time, on SCW Jinx! God...we gotta go, but join us next time, to find out what the hell we are gonna do about this!!"
I remembered approximately 1% of that show. And that was just the theme tunes! Bloody good first show, though. I always liked your style of writing, Ray.
I think it truly kicks off a few episodes in - there are 3 shows between each PPV so events happen thick and fast and many of the roster who didn't really stay around on TWCF or were twats quickly disappear for better characters. I wish all the shows I did were that short though, thanks to some folk writing segs and matches for me they became stupidly long! Next one when I can be arsed.
Lucozade Sport presents episode two of SCW Jinx!!!
"Hello and welcome to Showtime City Wrestlings' flagship show, Jinx! I'm Mick Foley, and alongside me is Dwayne 'The Cat' Dibley;
"OOOOWWWWWW!!! My MAN, it is GOOD to be BACK!"
Foley:"It certainly is! We waste no time in bringing you the first match. Last week, Ki Crusher and Ghostface advanced to the Gimmick Title match. They will be on opposite corners tonight, who will get the upper-hand leading into their Championship confrontation?!"
Ki Crusher & The Dark Vampire vs Mikey Richards & Ghostface The Cat: "Man, I don't like this Vampire dude. Now I like sinking my teeth into stuff as much as the next guy, but I'm talking bout fish, and women! If asked, this guy'll bite into someone's di....." Foley: ".....DISGRACEFUL move there Cat! Vampire just hit a stun-gun on Mikey. He needs to make the tag, and quick." Mikey comes back with a huge spinning heel kick, and Crusher and Ghostface make the hot tag at the same time. Foley: "Man it's ON!! Ghostface and Ki Crusher are punching the tar out of each other!!"
The Dark Vampire tries to interfere, but Mikey Richards performs a huge clothesline which sends both him and the Vampire to the outside. Ghostface and Ki Crusher take turns hitting big-time moves at each other, but no-one will stay down for the three count. Finally, Mikey sends Vampire into the steel steps, and trips up Ki as he is Irish-whipped against the ropes. Ghostface takes advantage, and plants Ki Crusher with a Perfect-Plex. Ghostface takes the three count! WINNERS: Mikey Richards & Ghostface
*THEME TUNE - 'Elevation' by U2* Foley: "Here comes Sheriff Baz, and boy, does he have some news tonight!"
Sheriff Baz: "Welcome to Jinx! (loud cheer) I have two announcements to make. The first involves the SCW Gimmick Title. The title will be on the line in a match between Ki Crusher and Ghostface. However, it ain't called the Gimmick Title for nuthin'!
"Look to the ShowReel!"
*Sheriff Baz points to the big screen above the entrance. The camera focuses on a giant wheel, obviously stolen from Wheel Of Fortune, when John Leslie wasn't paying attention.*
"Every single time the Gimmick Title is defended, the wheel will be spun, and a stipulation will be added to the match. NO Gimmick Championship match will be fought under normal rules! Stipulations on the wheel include streetfights, cages, lumberjacks, submissions - and those are the BORING ones!!
"The second announcement involves....tonight's main event! (cheers) I have been authorised to offer two SCW contracts to whom I feel deserve them. However, I am going to do it this way - I have picked SIX independant wrestlers, and they will all be in the main event, a six-man over-the-top battle royal!! Or, as I like to call it....
Independants' Day!!
"The two last remaining competitors will face off in a normal contest as soon as everyone else is eliminated....and the winner will receive a little 'treat' from the Sheriff! The six lucky contestents are...
The Genius!!
Muzza!!
Firework!!
Daniem!!
Almighty Rod!!
.......and Corkers!!"
*THEME TUNE: 'No One Knows' by Queens Of The Stone Age*
*SCW owner Mr.Showtime joins Sheriff Baz in the ring.*
Mr.Showtime: "Listen Sheriff, no one can be bothered with you talking about these no-talent jerks you plan on taking into SCW. I hope they all get lost on the way to the arena and never show up. Anyway, I have an announcement bigger than ANY you will ever have!
"Tonight Citizens, I can reveal that SCW have created their first-ever Pay-Per-View ...... SCW ShowCase!!!
"And I can reveal the ShowCase main event: Shimmer (loud boos) will be taking on....... Bal Bowski (wild cheers) - to determine the FIRST SCW World Heavyweight Champion!!! (massive pop!) And to make sure that match stays intact....I have BANNED Bal Bowski from the arena tonight."
The fans boo loudly.
"Thank you!"
*BACKSTAGE* We see Shake This and 'The Minstrel' Mark Henry arguing.
Shake This: "You totally SUCK in the ring!"
The Minstrel: "Well I didn't try that hard, I saw you perving on my mom in the lockers before the match, and that pissed me off!"
Shake This: "I wasn't eyeing your mom up....she was eyeing up ME!!"
The Minstrel: "You son of a ......"
*A shoving match ensues, and security break them up. Shake This heads to the ring for his match.*
Shake This vs Shimmer Foley: "Well, we've just heard that 'The Minstrel' has been barred from ringside, and Bal Bowski isn't even allowed in the building! But I talked to him last night, and he is NOT a happy bunny. He could do something he regrets if he doesn't manage to calm down." Both men seem to be somewhat distracted by their previous encounters, but Shimmer rises above it. Shake This, clearly disturbed by the shoving match backstage, can't avoid the STO, and Shimmer picks up a fairly easy victory. However, he seems quite worried that Bal Bowski will catch up with him sooner or later. WINNER: Shimmer
The camera follows Shimmer backstage, and he seems clearly disturbed and anxious. He ushers at the cameramen to get lost as he walks towards his dressing room.....
This is SCN at TEN, with your host, Louis Balfour.
".......Nice(!)"
"Good evening, and the main story tonight - a plane crashed on the outskirts of Showtime City this morning, killing all on board......
"....Smooth(!)
"However, as the crash occured outside Showtime City, the incident will be classed as 'fictional' by government officials and so, it never actually happened.
".....Wonderful(!)
"Sports entertainment now, and there is confusion regarding the city's first wrestling promotion, SCW. They have announced details of their first Pay-Per-View, despite spending all their budget on building the 50,000-seater Showtime Arena. Rumours have arisen that SCW have made a golden crotch-chops deal with none other than World Wrestling Entertainment - mmm, sweet(!)
"SCN asked one of their top (and busiest) officials, Jim Ross, about the allegations."
"GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY!! That sounds like a CAR WRECK!! That's a HEINOUS rumour and, quite frankly, whoever made up that FABRICATION is a DISINGENUOUS human being, in my view!! This MONSTER needs taken to the woodshed!! Dammit, DAMN him to hell, the son of a bit......"
"Mmm......nasty(!)
"That's the news. Up next, Jaaaaazz Club - Mmm....mega(!)"
JaYo & Haraga (The Tartan Army) vs Squat & Caschera (The Council) Another excellent tag match here, these are the two biggest teams in terms of size and strength in SCW, and the four battlers try to out-do each other with powerhouse moves. The finish comes when all four competitors squabble in the ring......
*THEME TUNE - 'Breathe & Stop' by Q-Tip*
The music keeps playing, and The Council, especially, get distracted by it. Suddenly, FNS appears at the top of the ramp. Squat leaves the ring to chase FNS down. Max pleads for him to come back, but he turns around and walks right into a Double Whisky!! JaYo makes the cover - one, two, three, The Council have been upset thanks to FNS! WINNERS: The Tartan Army
*Backstage, we see FNS and Exgenesys laughing to themselves.* ExGen: "That'll teach them to mess with us, the fools!"
Independents' Day Match Firework vs The Genius vs Daniem vs Muzza vs Almighty Rod vs Corkers The Cat: "Remember, the two monkeys left in the ring will battle it out, and the winner will be getting a treat!! Why don't I get any treats Mick??!" Foley: "(Scoffing a box of Roses) Couldn't tell you, Cat."
After allowing their desire to overpower themselves, Daniem and Firework are the first two out, eliminating each other at the same time. Almighty Rod is next to go, after the other three tripled-teamed him to hell and back. This leaves The Genius, Corkers and Muzza. After three minutes of high-flying moves and near-eliminations, The Genius goes to clothesline Muzza, who ducks, and The Genius instead hits Corkers. The two fly over the top rope, and Muzza gives them a helping hand....but the Genius holds on to the middle rope - and Corkers is uncerimoniously dumped onto the floor! WINNERS and NEW SCW Members: The Genius and Muzza
The Genius vs Muzza *Sheriff Baz appears on the ShowReel, and announces that the winner will face an opponent of Baz's choosing next week on Jinx!*
The match is over as it begins - the referee is helping Corkers up on the outside, and from the crowd come JaYo and Haraga - The Tartan Army!! They blindside The Genius with a Double Whisky, and Muzza has nowt to do but cover the Genius. The referee returns, and counts to three. WINNER: Muzza
After the match, JaYo and Haraga make their way back into the ring, and mock the Genius, while raising Muzza's hand. Is he now in the Tartan Army? Foley: "What the hell.....Corkers is making HIS way into the ring, and he's attacking the Army!!"
The Genius gets up, and he and Corkers try to pummel the Army. However they get the upper hand....all of a sudden, the other Independants come down the ramp, Firework, Daniem, Rod.....and a 8-man battle erupts in the ring!! They are all laying into each other, the emotions have gone into overdrive.....
*THEME TUNE: 'X.Y.U.' by The Smashing Pumpkins*
Foley: "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my GOD - it's BOWSKI!!!" The Cat: HOW the HELL did HE get in here???!" Foley: "Bal Bowski is here!!! He's stormed down into the ring -
and BAM!!! A Bal-Breaker!!
BOOM! A second Bal-Breaker!!
KA-POW - a THIRD Bal-Breaker!!
Foley: "He's layed out everyone in the ring (Muzza, the last man standing, turns around to face Bowski).....
Muzza: "(mouths)...oh shi..."
"KER-PLUNK!! A final, and devastating, Bal-Breaker!!! My God it's gone all to pieces tonight, Bal Bowski looks pissed, and by God, Shimmer better watch himself next week! Bowski will be after some Shimmer crimson!!! Good night everybody!!
The Cat: "OOOWWWWWWW!!"
AND NOW....Episode Three!
Quote:
Lucozade Sport presents Showtime City Wrestling!!!
SCW Jinx - Episode 3
*The ShowReel big screen above the entrance shows SCW owner Mr.Showtime. He is sitting at a desk in an office.*
Mr.Showtime: "I welcome everybody to the show. This weekend will see the first SCW Pay-Per-View, ShowCase. Now, SCW is not one of those companies that let rumours float around for weeks on end and let it disrupt their plans. We actually have an efficient P.R system in place here in SCW, so that is why I have to address the speculation revealed on certain news stations. And that is exactly what it is - speculation.
"All this story has done is make the promotion in question more aware of us. For us to be linked with a company such as the one in question can be harmful for me, my stars, and you - the SCW fans. And as far as I am concerned, that is the end of the matter. Now....back to tonight! Tonight here on Jinx, we will have....
*There is a knock on the door. Mikey Richards does not wait for it to be answered before bounding into the room.*
Mikey: "Hey boss, I was wondering if, since well, I helped Gho......(Mikey looks at the angry face of Showtime, then spots the cameras) ....if.... Well, erm....
....Have I caught you at a bad time?"
Showtime: "WHAT do you want?!"
Mikey: "Well, you know, since Ghostface and I BOTH beat Ki Crusher last week, I thought that maybe you should....you know....put me in the Gimmick Title match at ShowCase!"
Showtime: "Is that what you THOUGHT? Hmm. Well Ricky.....I'll put it to you like this. No.
"However, I have a match for you tonight. It'll be you....versus The Tartan Army!! (Mikey looks on in anguish.)
"Now get the hell out of here!"
"WELCOME to JINX!!! I am The Hardcore Legend Mick Foley, and I am joined by the Sci-Fi SitCom Legend - Dwayne 'The Cat' Dibley....."
The Cat: "OOWWWWWWWW!! Well sit on me and spin, look at all the lovely ladies in the audience tonight!!"
Foley: "Ha-ha-ha that's right Cat, but don't forget the blood-thirsty animals also in attendance! These guys wanna see Shimmer and Bal Bowski get it on before their World Title match at ShowCase, but they will see a lot more action too, starting with this match!"
Exgenesys w/FNS vs Max Caschera w/Squat Rocker The Cat: "I hear you have major news about these four dudes Micky!" Foley: "As Randy Savage might say, 'Ooohh yeah!', Cat! This weekend at ShowCase, Sheriff Baz has chosen these two teams to compete for the SCW World Tag Team Titles! That's right, ExGen and FNS will take on The Council to determine the SCW's first Tag champs!"
ExGen and Max have a heated bout, but Caschera uses his strength to over-power the smaller Exgenesys throughout. A few minutes in, Exgen counters an Irish-whip and somehow, Max goes flying over the top rope, landing right on top of his tag partner Squat! FNS can be seen laughing his head off at the other side of the ring. Max eventually sees this, and storms towards him. The ref goes to break them up, as Exgen goes outside to see to Squat. As he lifts Squat up, Rocker drops to his knees and plants a fist right into ExGens' nuts!! Squat Rocker then quickly finds the ring-bell, and belts ExGens' forehead with it!
Exgenesys is rolled back into the ring, and Max rushes back to the ring and picks up an easy three-count. FNS rushes to his partner's aid as he bleeds heavily on the canvas. We have SCW's first bleeder!! WINNER: Max Caschera
JaYo and Haraga w/Muzza vs Mikey Richards Foley: "All because Mikey wanted a title shot he felt he deserved, and now he's been forced into this two-on-one handicap match. Not only that, but new SCW roster member Muzza is now part of the Tartan Army!"
The Cat: "God damn these Scotch people! The only good thing they've ever done is invent golf!"
As you can imagine, Mikey shows a lot of guts, but JaYo and Haraga take turns to batter Mikey. Richards gets little offense in, but even he won't go down easily to two men. JaYo, in frustration, goes to expose a turnbuckle. As he argues with the referee, Muzza runs in and dropkicks Mikey right in the mush! Haraga then performs a Scottish Suplex, goes back to the apron, and JaYo covers Mikey for the win. WINNERS: The Tartan Army
The Cat: "Look over there Foley - it's The Genius!"
As soon as the bell rings, The Genius appears on the aisle. He runs into the ring and helps Mikey Richards clear the ring of JaYo, Haraga and Muzza. Mikey and The Genius are standing tall as The Tartan Army escape backstage.
*We go backstage, and see the SCW Sheriff, Baz, beside a coffee machine. On top of that is a black hat.*
Sheriff Baz: "First off, I better address Muzza. Congratulations on winning an SCW contract on the last Jinx. However, I have not given you the treat yet for winning the Independants' Day Match. My treat was to put you in tonight's main event with an opponent of my choosing. After seeing the way you won that match, and the match you interfered in tonight, I have decided that your opponent will be....
...BAL BOWSKI." (huge pop!)
"The next match tonight is a tag team match. It involves 'The Minstrel' Mark Henry (fairly audible boos), Shake This (cheers), Ki Crusher (boos) and .... Ghostface (loud cheers)!! Now, I notice that Shake and 'The Minstrel' have had a few disagreements since they arrived here. Well I can sort that out, no problem. Shake This, you will be in one-on-one action with 'The Minstrel' Mark Henry - at ShowCase!!
The fans cheer!
"But to make things more interesting, and because this tag match involves the Gimmick Title challengers....I will pick a random stipulation out of this hat. This weekend, the wheel will determine your match. Tonight, I do.
*The Sheriff rumbles his hand in the hat, and pulls out a rabbit.*
Sheriff Baz: "...er....whoops! How did that get in there? Hmm...I'll try again."
*Sheriff Baz puts his hand in the hat, and pulls out a piece of paper.*
Tonight, it will be 'The Minstrel' and Ki Crusher vs Shake and Ghostface......
...In a sudden-death TABLE MATCH!!!"
Ki Crusher and 'The Minstrel' Mark Henry vs Shake This and Ghostface Sudden Death Table Match Foley: "This ain't no elimination match folks, the first one to go through the wood will lose the match for his team!"
The tornado tag rules means that there IS no tags, and so Henry and Shake tangle up inside and eventually roll out the ring together. Shake This is REALLY wound up by 'The Minstrel', and no-one quite knows why. The un-compatibility factor is WAY off the scale for this one, as Shake punches a hole in Henry's facial features on the aisle.
Meanwhile, Ghostface and Ki Crusher are putting on a technical show-piece in the ring. Every single move is getting countered, and after each spot the crowd applaudes them. Unfortunately, Ki Crusher visibly tells the crowd to 'get stuffed', presumably so he can concentrate. Ghostface seems to thrive on the crowd attention though, and hits a great standing huricanranna which sends Ki towards the commentary table.
Ghostface pulls Ki onto the commentary table, and puts him into the suplex position. Ghostface lifts up Crusher, and holds him in a vertical suplex for what seems like minutes. As he starts to falter, Ki Crusher is saved by henry, who reaches over in time to make sure Ghostface can't complete the move. Shake This also comes over to the area, and within seconds, all four men are on the same table! The four jostle for position, but Shake This pushes into 'The Minstrel'. He collides with Ghostface, and the two fall together onto the floor. Ki Crusher turns Shake to face him - Shake swings a right hook but Ki Crusher ducks, kicks Shake in the stomach, and plants him with a devastating DDT.....the commentary table crumbles under the weight and Shake This takes the brunt of it, head first!! WINNERS: Ki Crusher and 'The Minstrel' Mark Henry
Mark Henry leaves ringside, chuckling to himself as he sees Shake in a mess on the floor. Ghostface rolls back into the ring, and has a stare-out with Ki Crusher, who stands victorious over a broken table and a broken body!
Foley: "Well, what a night it has been so far, and we're only days away from ShowCase, Showtime City Wrestling's first Pay-Per-View! And look at the line-up we have for THAT one!!!"
The Cat: "The Gimmick Title is up for grabs, as Ki Crusher takes on Ghostface, (cheers) and the rules of the Gimmick Title means we won't know what the stipulation will be until ShowCase!"
Foley: "And if this broken table is anything to go by, it could get messy! Alleged perv Shake This goes up against 'The Minstrel' Mark Henry, but I don't know if Shake will be in any condition to even show up!"
The Cat: "A massive tag match here, and it will determine the first SCW World tag Team champions - it's The Council vs FNS and Exgenesys!!" (loud cheers)
Foley: "And a match just announced - a six-man contest in which the winner will be named the No.1 contender for the SCW Gimmick Championship!"
The Cat: "OOWWW what a big-cat-fight THIS is gonna be! It's gonna be The Dark Vampire, Mikey Richards, The Genius, and ALL three members of The Tartan Army - JaYo, Muzza and Haraga!! But this will be every man for himself!"
Foley: "And of course the big one - the first SCW World Heavyweight Champion will be crowned, as Shimmer takes on Bal Bowski!
The Cat: "We still don't know why Shimmer attacked Bowski - was it to help Mr.Showtime, under orders from the owner, or is it all part of something bigger?! No doubt we'll find out at ShowCase!! I can't wait Mick!"
*THEME TUNE - 'X.Y.U.' by the Smashing Pumpkins* (huge cheers!)
Foley: "Here comes the man himself, 'Big' Bal Bowski!"
*THEME TUNE - 'I'm On My Way' by The Proclaimers*
*Muzza, JaYo and Haraga all make their way into the ring. After a few seconds, the ring announcer takes the microphone, after receiving orders from his ear-piece.*
Announcer: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have just been informed that my flys are undone....
The crowd bursts out laughing. Some fans point at him and heckle for the rest of the match.
"Ahem.....Ladies and (clears throat) gentlemen, I have just been informed that......JaYo and Haraga have been BANNED from ringside!"
Muzza vs Bal Bowski Muzza is running scared. Bal can obviously see Shimmer when he looks at young Muzza, and Muzza pays big-time for even being in the same building as the 'Bowski. Muzza motions for a test of strength, but Bal gouges him in the eye, stands on his foot, then grabs Muzza by the head and pummels it, ten times, into the turnbuckles. The crowd are going wild! Irish-whip, and Bal spears right into Muzza! Bowski motions to the crowd, picks up Muzza, then BAM!! Hits a Bal-Breaker!!
Muzza is down and out...but Bowski isn't finished yet - he drags Muzza up from the canvas, then squashes him with a nasty-looking piledriver!!
*HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!*
Bal Bowski covers Muzza, hooks the leg, then gets the three count. WINNER: BAL BOWSKI
*THEME TUNE - 'Shimmy' by System Of A Down*
Foley: "There's Shimmer!! By God we've been waiting for this for a long time! Shimmer and Bal Bowski have locked eyes, and Shimmer is walking towards the ring!"
The Cat: "Argh, I'm getting outta here!"
Shimmer enters the ring, and stands right in the centre. He picks up Muzza, and throws him over the top rope. Bal Bowski then walks right up to Shimmer, and they eye-ball each other intensely.
The Cat: "I believe this is the point, Mick, where Randy Savage would say, 'I can feel the chills go UP and DOWN ma SPINE....OWWWWWW!"
Bowski and Shimmer step back, still staring.....then they smile at each other(!)
BAM!! They both start battering each other with right hooks! The punches dig into the side of their heads, and eventually they tire. Bal swings an uppercut but Shimmer moves out the way, and hits the STO!!......NO - it's countered!!! Bowski pushes Shimmer against the ropes, and he runs right into a Bal-Breaker! THUMP!!
Shimmer is down, and Bal Bowski rolls out of the ring, hands aloft.
Foley: "Wow, this was INTENSE! And the emotion is only gonna over-flow into the weekend, when the SCW WORLD Heavyweight Championship is on the line!! IT'S gonna be Shimmer vs Bowski, you can't afford to miss it, this weekend, at SCW ShowCase!!! Goodnight everybody!!"
The following is taken from www.wrest_my_case.com/news:
- Word coming from Showtime City is that the segment on Jinx involving Mr.Showtime scorching the WWE rumours was not a work, and that SCW have financed ShowCase through other means.
It seems as though the WWE rumours were created, probably by someone affiliated with SCW, to make the buyrates rise for ShowCase. However, if that is the case, the reason why the rumours were deflated on television before the PPV remains unclear.
Whatever the story, both WWE and SCW are doing their utmost to insist there's no connection between them, financially or otherwise, and it seems that no-one will know for sure until after the PPV.
Other SCW notes: It's almost certain that SCW are in contract negotiations with the losing members of the Independents' Day match. Management is apparently very pleased with the performances and attitudes of all six involved. Of course, Muzza and The Genius were signed beforehand, but this is good news for The Almighty Rod, Firework, Daniem and Corkers.
It is rumoured that the planned ShowCase main event, between Shimmer and Bal Bowski, could change during the PPV. The two scuffled, for real, after the first episode of Jinx, and there is growing heat between them. SCW has been struggling to get the two to compete on good terms, and even if they were to change the match, there is really no-one to fill the void that isn't already in an important match.
Needless to say, a fan backlash against a rushed PPV title match change would not do SCW any favours. The most likely scenario is that Shimmer and Bowski will compete, but with an added stipulation to perhaps take the pressure off the two. We'll keep you posted.

Your sport. Our science.
Lucozade Sport proudly presents SCW ShowCase!!!
"WELCOME!!! Welcome to the sold-out Showtime Arena here in Showtime City, for the first-ever SCW Pay-Per-View extravaganza - ShowCase!!! I'm Mick Foley, alongside your favorite Dwarfer, and mine, Dwayne 'The Cat' Dibley."
The Cat: "OWWWW!!! My man Mick Foley, you KNOW we're in for some thuggin' and buggin' tonight!!"
Foley: "That's right Cat, we have three championships to be decided tonight, and lots more besides. The fans are electric tonight; the first three episodes of Jinx have been very well received and I don't know what can top all the surprises we've had so far.
"I believe SCW owner Mr.Showtime is now going to address and thank the live audience for....."
(Massive shocking pop!!!)
Foley: "Hey wait a minute, I recognise that music, what the...... look who that is on the ramp!! It's...it's...
...it's SHANE McMAHON!!!"
(a massive 'HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!' chant arises as Shane McMahon walks towards the ring.)
Foley: "I knew there were rumours about WWE being involved with ShowCase, but I thought they'd been severely quashed! I don't believe it!!"
The Cat: "Well then, you're obviously ill-informed and gullible, Foley!"
*Shane McMahon takes a microphone*
Shane McMahon: (Waits for crowd noise to die down. It takes a while.) "......I know what you're all thinking.
"You're thinking, 'who the hell is that standing in an SCW ring?'. Well, I'll answer that for you right now. I'm Shane McMahon, and I am Vice President of the greatest wrestling promotion in the world, World Wrestling Entertainment!! (audible boos). And I am here for a very good reason. I am talent-scouting. That's right. I'm here to take the best that SCW has to offer, and sign them up for WWE. (loud jeers) And I am doing this.... because I CAN. (crowd erupts with 'SHANE'S A PUSSY.....SHANE'S A PUSSY!!' chant)
*THEME TUNE: 'No One Knows' by Queens Of The Stone Age*
*Mr.Showtime storms down to the ring. He does not look happy.*
Mr.Showtime: "What the HELL is going on here??! I don't even get my first PPV underway, and already this scum-bag is trying to ground my company like his stinking father did in the 80's??! Shane McMahon, you piece of garbage, how did you get in here? Did you actually walk to the sound truck, hand the guys a tape and MAKE them play your theme tune??! Because I sure as hell don't have an Anthology CD around here. How DARE you!! I'm going to call security, and......"
McMahon: "Wait, wait a second. Hold on Raymond......we can settle this without blowing it out of proportion. Look, I WILL be here all evening...because I received a special VIP backstage pass."
Showtime: "Who gave you that? Only the wrestlers were allowed to give - them......out."
McMahon: "Yes, exactly. One of your wrestlers offered me a pass. In fact, I believe he is in your main-event tonight! (loud boos) Ray, I WILL be talent-scouting tonight, watching from backstage."
Showtime: "I'm going to call security before you......"
McMahon: "Ray, listen...I am NOT going to interfere in ANY matches tonight.......because I don't need to. The deal has already been done. I am just here, to make you aware."
*McMahon pushes the microphone into Showtimes' chest, and walks away. Showtime looks on in disbelief.*
Foley: "I am completely flabberghasted Cat, I cannot BELIEVE that Shane O' Mac has turned up here in Showtime City tonight, and turned this whole event on its' head!"
The Cat: "I know man, but not only that - McMahon says he has made a 'deal' with someone in the main event! Or at least that's what I think he said...I'm still in shock!"
Foley: "We will try to get hold of both Bowski and Shimmer before tonights' main event folks, in light of this shocking start to ShowCase. In the meantime......"
ShowCase Six-Way Match to determine Gimmick Title No.1 contender The Dark Vampire vs The Genius vs Mikey Richards vs Haraga vs JaYo vs Muzza Foley: "This ShowCase Six-Way has unique rules, let me explain them. The six men all battle in the ring at the same time. You can win by pinfall or submission. HOWEVER, if a man is thrown over the top rope and lands on the floor, he is eliminated. So in theory you can win via Battle Royal rules also."
The Cat: "I think The Tartan Army have to be favourites here, they should try to throw the other three out and then take on each other."
Foley: "I dunno if that'll work Cat - the other three cannot be underestimated. Remember, the winner will face either Ghostface or Ki Crusher in the future for the Gimmick Championship!"
The Dark Vampire attacks Mikey Richards from the bell, and pummels him with chops and throat thrusts in the corner. JaYo, Haraga and Muzza triple-team The Genius. The Vampire turns and sees JaYo, and just for the hell of it, plants him with a DDT! He goes for the cover, but Haraga and Muzza break it up. The Vampire and The Genius are now three-on-two with the Army, but then Mikey recovers and helps them! The three members of the Army get irish-whipped into the ropes, and are then hit with simultaneous atomic drops! They then get rushed into the ropes again, and the Vampire, Genius and Mikey attempt to use the Army's momentum to throw them over the ropes. However, JaYo and Haraga manage to hold on, and Muzza reverses the Vampire's throw-out attempt, and it's The Dark Vampire who is thrown over the top and onto the floor. The Dark Vampire is outta here!
After a minute or so of Mikey and The Genius attacking the Tartan Army, they eventually come back with an offensive. Mikey is sent into the ropes by Haraga, and he falls onto the floor - but he went THROUGH the ropes, not over them. The Army then pick up the Genius, and hit an explosive, unbelieveable TRIPLE Whisky!! The Genius is out cold. Haraga and Muzza play to the crowd as JaYo goes to throw out The Genius. However, Mikey Richards sneaks back in, and throws BOTH JaYo and The Genius out of the ring! Mikey, Haraga and Muzza are left!
Haraga is still aggravating the crowd, on the turnbuckles, but Muzza notices what Mikey has done. But before he can do anything, The Dark Vampire, whom Muzza eliminated, grabs Muzza's ankle from the outside! Mikey then goes straight for Haraga, and performs a jump-swinging inverted sunset-flip - Haraga slams onto the canvas, and Mikey grabs a handful of kilt as the ref makes the count! One....two....Muzza can't escape the Vampire's clutches!....Three!!
Foley: "Mikey does it! Mikey does it! Mikey Richards runs out the ring and up the ramp, he just skanked a victory from the Tartan Army's grasp! I can't believe it!" WINNER and Gimmick No.1 Contender: Mikey Richards
*BACKSTAGE* SCW owner Mr.Showtime is seen walking, very angrily, down a corridor. The camera then focuses on a door, which says 'SHIMMER'.
Mr.Showtime: (Bangs repeatedly on the door) "Shimmer!! SHIMMER!!! You answer me right now! What the hell is going on??! SHIMMER!! Open this door now!!"
There is no answer. Mr.Showtime then walks into the next room, a huge locker room. Inside the room is Shake This, Max Caschera, Squat Rocker, 'The Minstrel', FNS, and Exgenesys. They have very confused looks on their faces.
Mr.Showtime: "...Ok, ok. I know this is against policy. You guys have THE most important matches in your career coming up, but you don't know how thankful I am that you have stopped your preparation to be here. Those matches tonight, quite frankly, won't mean shit if we let this piece of garbage Shane McMahon come into our ring and ruin Showtime City Wrestling. I know you lot don't want that. That's why I need your help. You lot, tell the rest of the guys when they get back through the curtain, I need them too.
"This match tonight between Shimmer and Bowski NEEDS to be protected. I cannot, WE cannot, afford to let the WWE ruin our very first main event. That's why I am ORDERING every single roster member to be at ringside for the main event. And no, I'm not changing the main event to a Lumberjack match. Let's just say, it's more suited to being called an infested waters match. Because guys, your job tonight is not to harm the competitors inside the ring....but to harm anyone who tries to interfere from OUTSIDE the ring. Namely - Shane McMahon. I want ringside to be infested waters for Shane McMahon, so he has to think twice about going out there. Thank you so much for your time, and I will see you out there."
"Oh, and by the way..........feel free to bring any weapons."
*The camera cuts to another backstage area - Sheriff Baz is in his office, with the SCW (formerly Wheel of Fortune) Wheel. He is accompanied by two ladies dressed as Playboy bunnies.*
Sheriff Baz: "I am going to spin this wheel right now, and the wheel will reveal the stipulation for the first ever Gimmick Title match. If I was on Wheel of Fortune right now, I'd ask for a 'P'.....for Pain! Let's spin the wheel and see what we reveal!
*Sheriff Baz spins the wheel*
Sheriff Baz: "Oh this is exciting....look at all the match types passing by - a hardcore match......a boxing match........could it even be an underwater match? God, I hope not. The swimming pool hasn't been built yet. Oh, it's nearly stopped......a last man standing match?......Oh, it's stopping, ladies and gentlemen, we are going to have......
*The wheel stops spinning.*
"........A Ladder Match??!!" (loud cheers)
Sheriff Baz: "NO! No, no, no! This is like the most obvious result to decide a vacant title! People will think it's a fix! And SCW will NOT be known as being predictable! That's it, I'm gonna do something about this. Lets' double up. Bunnies - spin the wheel again!!"
*The Playboy bunnies spin the wheel. After a few seconds, the wheel stops.*
Sheriff Baz: "Tonight folks, here at ShowCase, Ki Crusher (boos) will take on Ghostface (cheers).......
......In a LADDER INFERNO MATCH!!!!! (crowd pops huge!!)
*Mr.Showtime bursts into the room.*
Mr.Showtime: "Baz.....I've changed the main event, so the guys are at ringside. I'm not having this main event ruined by outside interference."
Sheriff Baz: "That's a good idea, fair enough."
Mr.Showtime: "BUT....I want it to be protected even more. Now, I will be at ringside. But - I want you to be the referee."
Sheriff Baz: "Are you sure? Well....if you think it's neccesary."
Mr.Showtime: "I do......I do."
Shake This vs 'The Minstrel' Mark Henry Foley: "Another couple of firsts for SCW - an Infested Waters main event, and the Gimmick Title will be challenged for in an Inferno Ladder Match!"
The Cat: "OOWWWWW, that is gonna be HOT HOT HOT!!!"
Foley: "We don't quite know why these two have a grudge with each other, but it seems to stem from the well-known fact that Shake has an eye for the ladies. However, in this case, Shake picked up the wrong gal - Mark Henry's mom!!"
The Cat: "Oh man - The Minstrel's been so upset that he hasn't even graced us with any songs here in SCW. Which is a GOOD thing - because I've heard that his singing sucks."
The match is spent with The Minstrel focussing on Shake's head injury, which he sustained in the table match on Jinx. There are lots of head scissor holds, rear chinlocks and other boring repetitive moves. The crowd become restless and impatient. They ain't here to see ten minutes of rest holds! Shake is yet to win in SCW, and you gotta think that if he loses this one, he may feel his heart isn't really in it.
However, Shake starts to feel the crowd urge him on, and Shake pulls off some great offense. The Minstrel tries with all his might to lock Shake in more rest holds, but Shake This hits a stunning front-face suplex to escape a sleeper hold. Shake then performs a huricanranna, a tilt-a-whirl side slam, an overhead belly-to-belly suplex, and comes off the top rope with a cross body-block with major hangtime!!
The Minstrel is reeling, and somehow, Shake This is riding on a wave of momentum - he stalks his prey, and get ready to launch a right hook. He aims, swings, but The Minstrel sneaks behind his opponent. Shake This turns, and Henry jumps up on Shake's shoulders, for a huricanranna-type move.....BOOM!! Shake This counters the head scissors attempt with the Pervous Breakdown, an earth-shattering sit-down powerbomb!! One! Two! Three! WINNER: Shake This
*BACKSTAGE* Mr.Showtime walks up to Bal Bowski's locker room. He knocks, but no answer. Showtime turns the handle, and the door opens. He opens the door wide, and looks inside. The room is empty.
SCW Gimmick Championship - Inferno Ladder Match Ki Crusher vs Ghostface Foley: "Welcome back. The fans will be excited at this one - a revolutionary ladder match, where the ring will be engulfed in real-life flames!! Talking about the fans, we have some familiar faces in the audience here in the Showtime Arena.....Christopher Walken, Richard Madeley, the drummer from Def Leppard....but this is an intriguing one - Firework is in the fourth row!! He was in that Independant's Day match on Jinx."
The Cat: "He must be here to see what he's missing."
The crowd cheer as the Gimmick Championship belt is hoisted up into the rafters. Ki Crusher and Ghostface look up to the skies and watch the belt hang in the air. The announcer then takes a lighter out of his pocket......and lights up a cigarette. The referee tells the announcer that lighting up in a wrestling ring is dangerous, and so he confiscates the lighter and the remaining Dorchester Menthols. The referee then proceeds to set the ring on fire using said lighter.
Ghostface received a great reception from the fans, and again Ki Crusher got a mixed ovation. Ki seems to have the kind of attitude the fans loathe, that of a moaner. But what the fans do know is that the two men in the ring can put on a hell of a match. And the ring LOOKS like hell too.
The match starts off slow, Ghostface and Ki take things easy at first, testing each other out and countering lots of hammerlocks, body slams, and ground attack moves. The crowd applaud throughout. The two point blank refuse to go near the ropes, and you can tell that the two are feeling the heat.
The pace begins to pick up as Ghostface finally manages to push Crusher into a corner. Ghostface charges but Ki moves out the way, and Ghostface flies into the turnbuckles and almost went over onto the apron, where the fires are raging! Crusher pulls Ghostface into the centre and hits a release German suplex - Ghostface lands right on his neck!!
Ki Crusher calls for the referee, who is standing outside, to slide the ladder into the ring. The ref does so - but the idiot didn't realise that sliding it under the bottom rope would set the LADDER on fire!! Ki leaves the ladder in the centre of the ring, and attempts to bodyslam Ghostface onto the burning ladder!! ...Ghostface counters, and attempts a Russain Leg-Sweep onto the burning ladder....POW!! Both Ki Crusher and Ghostface land back-first onto the hellfire ladder!!
*HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!*
The crowd go nuts, and somehow, somehow, Ghostface stands up first. He calls for a second ladder, and this time he makes the ref take it in over the top rope. Ghostface sets up the ladder, and, back as red as a stop sign, he climbs the ladder slowly.
Ki Crusher also begins to climb the ladder, as Ghostface raises a hand to reach the belt! Ki gets to the top, and the two begin swinging punches. the ladder tilts from side to side, and it looks as though Ki Crusher is gonna fall off! Ghostface flips the bird at Ki Crusher, and Ki spots this moment of weakness and ploughs a finger in the left eye of Ghostface! Crusher then hooks a leg under the top ladder rung, and kicks Ghostface in the groin!!
Then....then, Ki Crusher hooks his right arm under Ghostface's left arm, and flips him over - Ghostface is hip-tossed overhead, and lands back-first onto the flaming ladder below!!!
*HOLY FUCK! HOLY FUCK! HOLY FUCK!*
The crowd are ALL on their feet, and watch in amazement as Ki Crusher hangs onto the top of the ladder, reaches up, and rips the Gimmick Championship from the suspension rope!! We have SCW's first ever champion!!! WINNER and NEW SCW Gimmick Champion: Ki Crusher
*BACKSTAGE* We see WWE Vice-President Shane McMahon in a room, alone. His mobile phone rings. His ringtone is the theme tune to Fraggle Rock.
Shane: "Hi. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's all sorted. Everything is actually working out better than I'd planned. No, no, don't worry, it cannot fail now. We got what we wanted.....well, no, they've not been....no listen, I got verbal confirmation. All we gotta do now is sit back and watch the explosion. Yeah, I've got all that covered. You just go relax and enjoy yourself. Yes. Ok, I'll see you then.
"Ok. Bye for now.......Dad." (crowd gasps)
SCW World Tag Team Championship The Council (Max Caschera and Squat Rocker) vs Exgenesys and FNS The crowd are right behind the team of FNS and ExGen, they are true fan favourites. Meanwhile, The Council don't seem to have any fans. At all.
The Cat: "Aw man I love The Council!! They've got the rockin' bad boy thing going on, they mean business! I don't think the other team has a chance!"
FNS starts off with Squat, and tries to do as much as possible without tagging in ExGen. He got busted wide open on the last Jinx and suffered a concussion. But FNS has to tag to keep the match alive, as The Council are the stronger team, and most experienced. ExGen comes in but The Council eventually overpower him and begin frequent tagging to wear Exgenesys down. The Council are using all the dirty tactics of distracting the referee and double-teaming.
But, this tactic backfires when, with the referee distracted by FNS trying to enter the ring, ExGen escapes Caschera's grasp as they prepare for the Brick Wall finisher and Squat pummels his partner instead! Then Exgenesys turns Squat to face him and plants Rocker with an ExGenerator!! Man that was nasty! Max is down, Squat is down holding his face in agony, and ExGen makes the tag!!
FNS comes in, and DESTROYS the opposition with dropkicks, flying head scissors, clotheslines and back-bodydrops! ExGen recovers and throws Squat outside the ring, following him. FNS climbs the top rope, but Max recovers and stops him before FNS can attack. Max punches FNS in the stomach then climbs onto the turnbuckles too! It looks like Caschera is going to attempt some kind of suplex from the top rope....but here comes Exgenesys back into the ring, and he superkicks Max right in the backside!! ExGen then turns to face Squat Rocker on the outside, and performs a suicide dive, landing right on Squat's noggin!
Foley: "FNS now controls Max Caschera on the top rope....I don't know what he's trying to attempt here.....Max is the bigger man but...what the HELL???!!"
*FNS performs a SHOOTING STAR TOMBSTONE!!!*
Foley: "I believe that is called a Shooting Star Tombstone, and good God Almighty, Max Caschera has just been CRUSHED!!"
Max is down and out, FNS holds the shoulders down, and the referee counts to three! We have new Tag Team Champions!! WINNERS and NEW SCW World Tag Team Champions: Exgenesys and FNS
*BACKSTAGE* We finally see Shimmer, warming up somewhere near the stage entrance. Sheriff Baz walks past.
Sheriff Baz: "Shimmer. I'm not going to say anything to you, except for this. If you've done what I think you've done, and you're dead set on it, then you better do the right thing in this match. You still work here, and I want the SCW World Title to be protected."
Shimmer: ".....And what the hell are you gonna do about it, if I DON'T do the right thing??!"
Sheriff Baz: (He opens his sports bag, pulls out a black and white-striped T-shirt, and puts it on.) If not..........I will SCREW you over so bad, it will make Montreal seem like just a slight misunderstanding."
Shimmer: ".........(Shimmer laughs in the Sheriff's face, and walks away.)
Foley: "Well Cat, we've still not heard from Bal Bowski, he's been in hiding all night, and I'm wondering what his mindset is like right now. This is a huge match for not only the competitors, but the rest of the roster, the owner, the fans, the city, the industry as a whole.....but with this WWE/Shane McMahon cloud hanging over our heads, I've got a feeling this ain't gonna be good."
SCW World Heavyweight Championship - Infested Waters Match Shimmer vs 'Big' Bal Bowski Announcer: "Ladies and gentlemen, chicks and blood-thirsty animals - this is your main event, scheduled for one fall with a one-hour time limit, and this match will determine the first ever Showtime City Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion!" (crowd cheers loudly)
*THEME TUNE - 'Elevation' by U2* Announcer: "Introducing the special guest referee, Sheriff Baz!" (cheers)
*THEME TUNE - 'No One Knows' by Queens Of The Stone Age*
The Cat: "Here comes the SCW roster, behind Mr.Showtime, and....they all have weapons!! These guys are SERIOUS!! There's a steel chair.....The Dark Vampire has a chain in his hand, and JaYo has a brick!! OOWWWWWW!!"
Foley: "The only guy not here is Max Caschera, who we hear is too injured to come out after the Shooting Star Tombstone. He has been taken to a local medical facility for checks."
The SCW roster stand around the ring.
*THEME TUNE - 'Shimmy' by System Of A Down*
Announcer: "The first challenger, he has a 1 and 0 record so far in SCW...he is Shimmmmmmmer!!!" (boos)
Foley: "I am praying that this match isn't ruined by Shimmer, or any WWE influence - it seems as though someone in the main event has made a deal with Shane McMahon...."
The Cat: "....unless of course, the monkey is fibbing."
Foley: "Of course, that could be the case....."
*THEME TUNE - 'X.Y.U.' by The Smashing Pumpkins* (loud cheers)
Announcer: "Introducing the second challenger, with a record of one pinfall win, one disqualification win and no losses, here is.....'Big' Bal Bowwwwwskii!!!!"
(Everyone waits patiently. Finally, after about 20 seconds, Bal Bowski walks into view, and heads into the ring. The crowd are on their feet with applause. Bowski looks worryingly at the security around the ring.)
Referee Baz: "Bal, Shim, this is the SCW World Heavyweight Championship title belt. Don't wet yourselves."
Foley: "Did you see that Cat? Shimmer looked at the belt with disgust - and Bal glanced at it very briefly, then returned the gaze to Shimmer's eyes. Man this is intense!"
Bal Bowski and Shimmer, once again, give each other a strange smile, then as soon as the bell rings....and we're on!! They lock-up, and Bowski muscles Shimmer to the ground first!! (cheers)
A great match between the two ensues, but it's strange with the way the match is turning out. These two don't like each other, and yet they are trying to get the upper hand using wrestling moves. No dirty tactics, no cheating or feigning - just stripped-down straight-up grappling. Throughout the bout, Shimmer hits moves such as backbreakers, side-walk slams and snap suplexes. Bowski uses a Samoan drop, an Irish Whip, a German suplex, a Japanese arm-drag, and one of his specialities - the three rolling Russian leg sweeps!
Foley: "Bowski is clearly an intercontinental talent Cat!" The Cat: "Yeah, well I don't think he is. Not until I see him do an Afghanistani Ax-handle drop!"
Shimmer eventually wears down Bal with a surf-board type hold, which Bal is struggling to escape from. The crowd try to egg him on, and the roster members outside begin to slap the canvas in time with the crowds' chants of 'Let's Go Bowski!! Let's Go Bowski!!' Bal uses the last of his energy to power out of the hold, and he comes back with a flurry!! Three right hands! A clothesline! A second! And a third! Irish-whip, and Bowski spears Shimmer to the mat! Bal attacks Shimmers' back with a huge kick, and Shimmer screams out in pain! Bowski pulls Shim up again, and rams his head into the turnbuckles ten times! Shimmer is dazed, and Bal whips his opponent into the ropes - BAL-BREAKER!!!.... - NO!!! It's countered! Shimmer pushes Bal off the ropes, Bal comes back - BAMM!!!
The STO!! Shimmer hit the STO!! Shimmer covers...One!.......Two-.......
Bowski kicked out! Bowski kicked out!! (the crowd pop big style!)
Shimmer is still dazed, he struggles to his feet, and pulls Bal up. Shimmer hooks him for a suplex. Bowski is lifted up.....but Shimmer can't hold him up! Bowski lands on his feet, faces Shimmer, and WHAM!!! A Bal-Breaker!!! He hits it!!
Foley: "And just like that a match can change! Bowski quickly goes for the cover, he hooks the leg!! Referee Baz is there.....!
ONE!........TWO!.........
*THEME TUNE- 'Here Comes The Money'* (crowd erupts!!!)
Foley: "WHAT THE HELL??!!! THAT NO GOOD SON OF A BITCH!! There's McMahon at the entrance!!!"
Mr.Showtime orders the wrestlers surrounding the ring to turn their gaze at Shane McMahon. They all impatiently bat their weapons against their fists. Shane stands still, crosses his arms and just sniggers. Referee Baz and Bal Bowski turn and face McMahon.
Foley: "Shimmer is rolling out the ring....he's getting a steel chair!! He's gonna take advantage of this massive distraction!"
The Cat: "I don't blame him one bit!!"
Shimmer re-enters the ring with the steel chair....he raises it behind his head, ready to strike!! ......Bal Bowski and Sheriff Baz turn around at the same time to face Shimmer........THWACK!!!!
Foley: "What the....Shimmer just cracked SHERIFF BAZ over the head with the chair?!! What the HELL was THAT for??!!"
Sheriff Baz falls down, shocked, but quickly manages to stand up again......
Shimmer THROWS the chair at Bal Bowski - and he catches it!!!!......SMASH!!!!
Foley: "What....WHY the - GOD ALMIGHTY - Bowski just wrapped the steel chair RIGHT around SHERIFF BAZ'S HEAD??!! Someone tell me what's GOING ON!!!"
Bowski and Shimmer, for a split-second, lock eyes, and deliver the cryptic smiles to each other once more! By now, all the wrestlers at ringside have turned and see Baz lying on the canvas, with blood gushing out of his skull all over the steel chair that's still wrapped on his head. The wrestlers storm the ring, but Bowski and Shimmer escape from the sides, and run around and up the aisle, to where Shane McMahon is standing.
Foley: "Dammit!!! Dammit!! I cannot BELIEVE this!!"
Shane McMahon walks towards Shimmer and Bowski.......they all smile at each other....and then they HUG!!! The crowd cause a storm of noise, booing in absolute disbelief!! Mr.Showtime and the SCW roster all stare at the three from inside the ring, shouting and staring in amazement!
Shane McMahon raises the hands of Shimmer and Bal Bowski!!
Foley: "SOMEBODY tell me this isn't happening!!! Shimmer and Bal Bowski have DOUBLE-CROSSED the SCW!!!!
"This is a screw-job of epic proportions folks, and by God I want to know why this is even happening!!! They've ruined the main event and the direction of the still-vacant SCW Championship! Son of a BITCH!! I can't....I can't do this....."
(Foley rips off his head-piece. The Cat's is already off. The two stare in disbelief at each other. Shane McMahon, Shimmer and Bal Bowski walk through the curtain together, smiling and laughing. The SCW members, and Mr.Showtime, watch them leave, then turn to see a busted open Sheriff. The crowd are going crazy. The cameras fade to black.)
*BACKSTAGE* We see Sheriff Baz in his office. He is wearing bandages around his head, due to the terrible chair shots he received at ShowCase. There is a huge television screen behind him.
Sheriff Baz: "Tonight, we move forward. Showtime City Wrestling will continue to progress and the actions at ShowCase do nothing to change that. In fact, the action possibly makes things more exciting, because without those actions, I could not announce what I am about to right now!"
"Starting tonight, the vacant SCW World Heavyweight Title will be on the line. And we are going to have ourselves a straight-up wrestling tournament to crown a champion!!"
"You want to know the brackets? ....Here you are."
*Sheriff Baz sidesteps the screen, and points towards it. The graphic on screen shows:
SCW Heavyweight Championship Tournament ---------------- Max Caschera Squat Rocker ---------------- The Genius Muzza ---------------- Ghostface 'The Minstrel' ---------------- Dark Vampire Shake This ----------------
Sheriff Baz: "And you will see ALL of those matches - TONIGHT, on Jinx!!
WELCOME TO JINX!!!!
"Lucozade Sport once again presents SCW Jinx, LIVE from the once again sold-out Showtime Arena in Showtime City! I am, once again, one-half of the Rock and Sock Connection, Mick Foley. And alongside me, once again, is the dressed to impress Dwayne 'The Cat' Dibley!
The Cat: "OOOWWWWWWWW-YEAH!! I am now in a better mood tonight, because I just had the greatest fish supper in the world from the new Cheap Chip Shop just down the road!! And we have this awesome tournament to crown a World Champ here in SCW!!"
*THEME TUNE: 'No One Knows' by Queens Of The Stone Age*
Foley: "Here comes the SCW owner, Mr.Showtime, to start the show, and he must have a HELLUVA lot of things to discuss!! For those of you who missed it, our first Pay-Per-View event ShowCase was SABOTAGED by none other than World Wrestling Entertainments' Shane McMahon! And by the end of the show, BOTH our main-eventers, who I won't bother to name, double-crossed this great new promotion to jump into the bigger pond."
Mr.Showtime: "I know you people have better things to do with your time....but last night I did something I don't usually do. I watched WWE Raw. (huge boos) And for once, I saw something intriguing. I saw a match between Rosey and Tyson Tomko. No, that wasn't the intriguing part. That match went to a non-finish, because a young man by the name of John Shim ran down and nailed both of them. (huge boos)"
"I can see the results of this already. Within weeks, this Shim will either be feuding on Heat with Stevie Richards, and losing, or even worse, being kept on Raw and given a storyline where he falls in love with a mop. (crowd laughs in acknowledgement.) Whatever the result, I am not tempted to come out here every week and describe the downfall of one of the most talented wrestlers in the world."
"And this leads me to a second point. I was waiting for a second man to debut......but it never came. And now I hear, that Shane McMahon (boos) is STILL in Showtime City, along with a certain Bal Bowski (mixed ovation, mainly boos). I also hear that Bowski has yet to sign a WWE contract. With that in mind, I'd like to........"
Mr.Showtime spots Shane McMahon standing on the ramp. The boos are deafening. Shane obviously forgot to bring his Anthology CD this time. Shane McMahon walks into the ring.
Shane McMahon: "Bal Bowski is in the hotel around the corner, and he is staying there until I say so. The rumours are true.....he has NOT signed a contract. (cheers) But this is because Shimmer went straight to Florida for the Raw show, where he could sign, whereas we have stuck around here....because we have MORE business to attend to here."
Mr.Showtime: "You can forget it McMahon, I'm getting fed up with your sh....."
McMahon: "Hey, hey-hey-hey....hold on a second. I think I at least should tell you....that a THIRD member of your roster has decided to join World Wrestling Entertainment!! (crowd boos)"
".........and his name is.....
........Exgenesys!!! (crowd gasps in disgust)
*THWACK!! Mr.Showtime slaps Shane McMahon right across the face.*
Shane: "(shakes off the slap, and holds his cheek) ....Ow. Look, I thought I'd maybe give you a slight chance this time. Which is why I'm willing to compete in a match right here tonight, with the winner receiving the official services of Exgenesys!!"
Mr.Showtime: "(Thinks it over for a second) ....I can only think of one man to face you tonight......"
Foley: "SPEAR!! SPEAR!! Mr.Showtime is laying into Shane McMahon with his fists!!"
Shane McMahon rolls out the ring, and stumbles up the aisle. As he reaches the entrance, Sheriff Baz appears behind him. Shane turns around to see Baz, right in this face.
*WHACK!!*
Foley: "My God - Baz just layed out Shane McMahon with a right hook! What a SHOT!!"
Sheriff Baz stands over Shane, and gets right in his face.
Sheriff Baz: "Well you asked for this Shane.....tonight, here on Jinx, it will be Shane McMahon.....versus MR.SHOWTIME!! (crowd pop big-time!) And Shane, if you lose, you will NEVER be welcome in Showtime City again!
"....and by the way Shane, there will be NO DISQUALIFICATIONS!!" (crowd wet themselves)
Foley: "Tonight it's gonna be WWE Vice-President Shane McMahon, versus SCW owner Mr.Showtime!! This is a match of epic proportions....it seems as though the future of Exgenesys is on the line!! We'll be back after this commercial break!!"
SCW Championship Tournament Quarter-Final The Genius vs Muzza Foley: "For these first round matches, there is to be no interferences - any whatsover, and BOTH competitors will be chucked out of the tournament.
The Cat: "The eight men haven't had much time to prepare for a massive World Championship tournament, but they gotta focus. They only got one shot, they can't miss their chance to blow, this opportunity can come once in a lifetime, yo." Foley: "....Well said, Cat."
Muzza and The Genius are of the same height and weight, but The Genius prefers a more cautious approach, whereas Muzza is more action-first, think-later orientated. This leads to an awkward match-up - The Genius and Muzza can't seem to control the match, and it is hard to tell who has the upper hand.
Foley: "Remember, Muzza and The Genius won through in the Independant's Day match a few weeks back, although their one-on-one match afterwards didn't really get started. However there is no interference now. These two have a massive chance to gain a Championship Match!"
Muzza begins to get control of the match as he manages to see through The Genius' attempts to out-baffle his opponent. Muzza places The Genius on the top rope, and climbs up too. However, the Genius quickly knocks him down. A dazed Muzza climbs to his feet and, dazed, turns to face The Genius, who is standing tall on the top rope......The Genius hits The Nobel Prize, and scoops the three count!! Just like that, The Genius is now one match away from a World Title shot! WINNER: The Genius
*BACKSTAGE* The camera travels into a locker room, where we see FNS, Mikey Richards and Exgenesys. FNS and Exgenesys are arguing big-style.
FNS: "You're telling me that this is bullshit??!!"
ExGen: "YES I'm telling you, I MEAN IT, I don't know wher....."
FNS: "LOOK MAN!!! We just won the Tag straps and you wanna sell-out to that....."
ExGen: "For GOD'S SAKE man I'm TRYING to tell you it's NOT TRUE!! You GOTTA believe me!"
FNS: "Well I DON'T believe you!! After what happened at the Pay-Per-View, I don't CARE how long we've known each other, I can't trust you at this time with all....."
ExGen: "Oh so you don't TRUST me now??! You little bitch, after all we've been through??! Just.......just FORGET IT!!"
Exgenesys storms out the dressing room.
Mikey: "........(giggles) Heh heh heh - he just called you a little bitch!"
FNS storms out of the dressing room.
Mikey: ".....What??!"
SCW Championship Tournament Quarter-Final 'The Minstrel' Mark Henry vs Ghostface Foley: "At ShowCase, Ghostface was a part of the first Ladder Inferno match, and my God he suffered!! As did Ki Crusher of course, but at least he has the Gimmick title to show for it. Ghostface just has second-degree burns on his back! He was hip-tossed from the top of a 12 foot ladder, right onto a flaming ladder! Ghostface is not passed fit to compete, but what man is gonna pass up a Championship Title chance? Not Ghostface, that's for sure.
Ghostface and 'The Minstrel' look eye-to-eye. Ghostface opens a hand, and invites Henry to shake it. Henry does, and Ghostface immediately ploughs 'The Minstrel' into the mat with The Seance!! One, two, three, and this one's over!!
Foley: "Wow, that was a SMART move by Ghostface! He's clearly in agony, and he managed to sucker Henry in and scoop the quick clean victory. The Genius would be proud of that!!" WINNER: Ghostface
SCW Heavyweight Championship Tournament ---------------- Max Caschera Squat Rocker.......???? ---------------- The Genius..........The Genius Muzza ---------------- Ghostface 'The Minstrel'.......Ghostface ---------------- Dark Vampire......???? Shake This ----------------
The Cat: "Well that was weird. It didn't just seem that Ghostface wanted the match over quick because he's injured - he pretty much just ran back up the aisle as soon as the bell rang....he looked like he has other things on his mind - or some hot hunnies waiting in the back for him, if ya know what I mean!! OOWWW!!"
*BACKSTAGE* The Council - Max Caschera and Squat Rocker, are in a corridor. Max is wearing a stylish neck-brace. Squat: "I can't believe they've put us up against each other tonight!"
Max: "I know......but I shouldn't even be out there tonight...I'm injured man."
Squat: "I know, you're lucky they let you out the hospital so quick. But, I have an idea...."
FNS, Exgenesys and Mikey Richards vs JaYo, Haraga and Ki Crusher w/Muzza Ki Crusher doesn't tag in the entire match, and looks in pain. FNS and ExGen refuse to even look at each other, and Mikey spends the match getting beat down by JaYo and Haraga. Mikey eventually makes the tag to ExGen and he batters the opposition, even pushing Crusher onto the floor - he screams in agony as he lands on his back! But - the crowd are BOOING Exgenesys! He gets so pissed, that he FLIPS off the front row, and walks down the aisle and through the back!! FNS watches this from in the ring, and gets blind-sided with a Double Whisky! Muzza on the outside stops Mikey getting back in the ring, and JaYo covers and pins FNS, one half of the tag champs! WINNERS: Ki Crusher, JaYo and Haraga
As the wrestlers make their way out the ring, the ShowReel big screen lights up, and we see a cameraman follow Ghostface up a posh-looking staircase, then down a corridor.
Foley: "That looks awfully like the hotel right ouside the arena! What's going on?"
The Cat: "I got a feeling we're about to find out."
Ghostface enters room 619, without knocking, and inside we see Bal Bowski sitting on his bed with a clipboard. Bowski stands up and looks Ghostface in the eyes. (The crowd gasp)
Bowski: ".....I suppose you're here for an explanation..."
Ghostface: "Bal - SIT down and SHUT up."
Bowski: "......I'd rather stand, thanks."
Ghostface: "When were you gonna tell us, huh? Tell your colleagues - your friends, about this decision? And when did you decide this decision would be better off for you, huh Bal? We've known each other from the start Bal - we helped create SCW. You know how difficult that was. But when did you lose respect for all that? What happened? We have an opportunity to become world-wide stars doing something we love, and you get out before we've even taken off?
"And for what, Bal? For what? A few extra dollars? An opportunity to have two minute 'wrestling' matches with some lumbering idiot no-talent who can't work for SHIT?! The 'opportunity' to stand in front of a bunch of morons every week, morons who think someone like John Cena has TALENT?! An 'opportunity' to walk that aisle to the din of crap dance music, while dressed as some kind of Goldust tribute?! What kind of 'opportunity' is THAT?
"I thought you had respect, Bal, I really did. Not just for the business....but for yourself. Yet you jump at the first opportunity, an easy way out, as it were. If you're content with this decision Bal, if you think you've done the right thing....then I'll see you on the way down, as your 'friends' pass you on our way up, proud of what we acheive and proud of our business, and proud that we did it together.
"..........You selfish prick."
*Ghostface leaves the room. Bowski sits back down on the bed - he is shell-shocked. He grabs the clipboard, and stares right through it. It is his WWE contract.*
Foley: "Listen to the noise in the arena!!"
The fans, still watching Bowski on the ShowReel, begin chanting his name. The sound is deafening.
The Cat: "The SCW fans want him back, no question!"
Foley: "But the question is - has Bal Bowski signed that WWE contract?"
SCW Championship Tournament Quarter-Final Max Caschera vs Squat Rocker The two members of The Council come out together. Squat picks up a microphone.
Squat: "Look Max, you are clearly injured, and I don't wanna have to hurt you to win this match....so my idea is that you, you know....lay down for me." (the crowd boos)
"Come on Max, you know I'd do it for you if the shoe was on the other boot."
Max: "I dunno man, is there not some oth....."
Squat: "JUST DO IT, Max. There is no other way. You want me to win the World Title don't you?"
Max: "Well, I suppo......"
Squat: "Exactly. So just hurry up and get on with it."
Max Caschera lays down on the canvas, Squat covers him, and the referee reluctantly calls for the bell, counts to three, and calls for the bell again.
Foley: "Look at Squat Rocker! He's celebrating as though he's just won a DIFFICULT match!"
Squat poses on the turnbuckles, but the crowd jeer him. He then helps Max to his feet and assists him through the back. Max looks miffed. WINNER: Squat Rocker
SCW Championship Tournament Quarter-Final The Dark Vampire vs Shake This Foley: "Well, the semi-finals are shaping up fast - it will be the Genius vs Squat Rocker, and the winner of this one right here will take on Ghostface! Talking of Ghostface, that was some speech he gave to Bowski, I think it's because they've been friends for years, and that showed how passionate Ghostface is about Showtime City Wrestling."
Shake and the Vampire have a well-worked confrontation - the crowd are behind Shake, and TDV can't seem to hold on to Shake very long before he counters with big-time moves. The Vampire becomes tired as he can't keep up with Shake's speed. The Vampire makes a small comeback as he hits a huge brain-buster, but Shake puts his foot on the rope during the pin attempt. Shake counters a bodyslam, and tries to hit the Pervous Breakdown powerbomb. The Vampire is too heavy, and so Shake This instead flips over TDV's back, and rolls the sunset slip into a leg-hook cradle pin......The Dark Vampire can't get out, the pin attempt is locked on tight! And Shake wins through to the World Title semi-finals! WINNER: Shake This
World Wrestling Entertainment vs Showtime City Wrestling No Disqualification Shane McMahon vs Mr.Showtime Foley: "This is the big one folks - Shane McMahon layed down the challenge, a match for the services of Exgenesys, one half of the tag team champions. He stormed out of his match earlier, but it remains to be seen if it's all talk by Shane McMahon."
The Cat: "Yeah but come on Mick - if Exgenesys isn't really with Shane, then why did Shane hang around here until tonight?"
Foley: "You have a point Dwayne. Unfortunately."
Mr.Showtime runs down to the ring, and again charges into Shane with a spear! They roll out the ring, and Showtime takes it to McMahon, whipping him knees-first into the steel steps, then dropping him onto the barricades! Showtime looks under the ring, and finds a trash can. WHACK! Shane goes down!
Shane is rolled back into the ring, and Showtime places the trash can on Shane's head. Showtime then knocks him down with a dropkick! Showtime then performs the triple jump legdrop, every one crushing the can into Shane's face! Shane is losing it big-style, and the SCW owner climbs to the top - he goes for a Show Splash! - Shane O'Mac moves out the way, and Showtime crashes onto the canvas stomach-first! Shane then places the trash can onto Showtime's prone body, and slowly climbs the same turnbuckle. Shane then performs a shooting Shane press!! BAMM!! Showtime ALSO moves out the way. and McMahon once again collides with the trash can!
Showtime stalks his prey, and as Shane gets up, the SCW owner attempts the Showtime Split jump-swinging DDT! .....Shane counters the move, whips Showtime into the ropes, and goes for a Stone Cold Stunner!!! - no, Showtime counters that, whips Shane into the ropes, Shane ducks the clothesline, and BAMM!! The two collide with a double clothesline!!
Foley: "They're getting back up fairly quickly.....WAIT! - There's Exgenesys....he's running into the ring from the crowd!- OH-NO!!!"
Exgenesys unwraps the Tag Team title belt around his waist, folds it up, and WHACK!! Plants Shane McMahon over the head with it!! (loud crowd pop!)
The Cat: "Hell yeah!"
McMahon then walks right into Mr.Showtime, and a BLISTERING Showtime Split!! ONE.....TWO.....THREE!!! Showtime wins! Showtime wins thanks to ExGen!! WINNER: Mr.Showtime
Exgenesys runs right back into the crowd, as the crowd chants 'Exgen! Exgen!' Mr.Showtime walks back up the ramp, and before leaving, turns to look at McMahon, and cheekily waves goodbye!
Shane McMahon is on his knees in the ring, he's exhausted.
Within seconds, BAL BOWSKI walks through the curtain. He's holding that clipboard. The crowd pop huge, but are unsure why he's here!
Bowski steps into the SCW ring. He helps up Shane McMahon, then reaches for a microphone.
Bowski: "Well.....I've thought about it, and thought about it. And Shane, I see no better time than now, RIGHT here in an SCW ring, to sign your WWE contract."
*The crowd begin to jeer Bowski big-time, and begin chanting 'You suck dick! You suck dick!' at Bal Bowski.*
Bowski: "I may as well sign it right now. Except, there's a small problem here......
"......I've changed my mind."
BOOM!!! (the crowd roar in amazement!)
Foley: "BAL-BREAKER!! BAL-BREAKER!! SHANE HAS BEEN SHATTERED BY BAL BOWSKI!! BAL BOWSKI IS BACK AND HERE TO STAY, AND BY GOD WE WON'T BE SEEING THAT SILVER-SPOON BASTARD SHANE MCMAHON IN SCW AGAIN!! YES!! YES IT IS A GOOD NIGHT FOLKS!! ALL IS WELL! GOODNIGHT EVERYBODY!!"
The following is taken from Wrest_My_Case.com/news:
Quote:
SCW Announcement regarding Jinx episode 8 A press release issued today by Showtime City Wrestling contains details of the promised 'exported' SCW show. Here are excerpts from the release:
"Showtime City Wrestling can confirm that episode eight of Tuesday Night Jinx, which will be the second show after the next, as yet untitled, Pay-Per-View, will be broadcast LIVE from the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC) in Glasgow, Scotland.
"SCW is bringing its' flagship show to Bonnie Scotland for one night only, in a move which is an SCW first. The card will likely consist of a newly-crowned SCW World Heavyweight Champion, stars such as 'Big' Bal Bowski and Mikey Richards - and Scotland's very own Tartan Army!
RECAP: Last week on Jinx, Shane McMahon told the world that Exgenesys was going to defect to WWE by the end of the night. However, his challenge to Mr.Showtime back-fired when not only Exgenesys, but Bowski too, stayed loyal to SCW and stabbed a never-to-return Shane O' Mac right in the back.
It's now time for Tuesday Night Jinx!!
Mick Foley: "It's gonna be celebration time here in Showtime City Wrestling! The SCW pulled together last week to banish the threat of WWE, and tonight - it's back to business! Welcome to Jinx episode five, I'm Mrs. Foley's baby boy, Mick, and I'm joined at the hip with Dwayne 'The Cat' Dibley."
The Cat: "OOOOWWWWW!!! Oh yes Mickey, it's gonna be another action-packed night and I can't wait to see what develops!"
*THEME TUNE - 'Sleep Now In The Fire' by Rage Against The Machine*
Making their way to the ring are The Council, Max Caschera and Squat Rocker. Caschera still has a neck brace on, caused by FNS at ShowCase.
Foley: "Me neither Cat, and we start off with a bang here in the Showtime Arena tonight - the first of two Heavyweight Tournament semi-finals is gonna start off the show!"
The ShowReel big screen shows the updated brackets:
SCW Heavyweight Championship Tournament ---------------- Max Caschera Squat Rocker.......Squat Rocker ---------------- The Genius..........The Genius..........????? Muzza ---------------- Ghostface 'The Minstrel'.......Ghostface............????? ---------------- Dark Vampire.......Shake This Shake This ----------------
The Genius enters the ring, and comes face to face with The Council. Squat takes the announcers' microphone, after telling Max to leave the ring.
Squat: "Ok, ok. I'm sorry to do this, but it's neccessary. Some clown backstage walked into me and tripped me up, and I hit my head off a table. He tried to apologise but he couldn't even string a coherent sentence together. If I had the power, I'd ban him from this place.....
Anyways, I can't compete tonight...(boos)....so I had the idea of, you know, you laying down for me."
The Genius actually thinks it over.
Squat: "You know fine that 'Squat Rocker - World Champion' sounds better than 'The Genius - World Champion', don't you?"
The Genius: "You know something Squat......I think you're right. Ok, I'll do it." (the crowd roar, many of them shouting 'NOOOO!')
World Championship Tournament Semi-Final The Genius vs Squat Rocker w/ Max Caschera The Genius lays down, Squat can't believe his luck! Rocker kneels down, and covers the Genius. The ref calls for the bell, and then reluctantly counts to three.....
Foley: "One......two......oh WAIT! The Genius with a counter!!
The Genius rolls over and covers Squat! One - two - kickout! They both get up, and The Genius with a small package! One - two - kickout again! The Genius then hits a sunset flip! One - two - a third kickout! Squat Rocker rolls out the ring, he's on the rocks! The Genius follows, and chases Rocker around the ring, but from out of nowhere, Caschera pummels The Genius with a clothesline! The crowd jeer at Max Caschera, and Squat takes full advantage, mounting over The Genius and punching a hole in his opponents' head!
Squat carries The Genius back into the ring, and goes for a cover but he kicks out at two. Squat then keeps control for the next few minutes, wearing down The Genius with holds that damage the throat. The Genius breaks out of a hold, whips Squat into the ropes - Squat counters with a sleeper hold! The crowd don't like Squat dominating, but The Genius, as always, has a plan!
He manages to drag Squat towards the corner whilst in the sleeper, and uses what little momentum he has to spring his feet off the middle turnbuckle, and flip over Squat into a pinning combination - shades of Bret/Piper! One......two.....oh - Caschera places Squat's foot on the ropes, and the referee sees it in the nick of time! They both get up, and The Genius begins to have the upper hand, clotheslining Squat to the mat, and hitting a sweet dropkick to the mush!
Squat cowers in the corner, and The Genius monkey flips him back into the centre! The Genius climbs the ropes - it looks like he's gonna do the Nobel Prize! ......he jumps, and Squat rolls out the way - and the Genius ploughs right into the referee! Without a second's hesitation, Max Caschera enters, he joins Rocker in waiting for The Genius to turn around - and The Council hit The Brick Wall on The Genius!
Foley: "No that ain't right at all! Max must be milking this injury, coz he looked fine there!"
Squat lies on top of The Genius, and Max stirs the referee. Max pulls him towards the two competitors, and the referee slaps his hand on the mat three times. Squat Rocker is in the World Title match!!
Foley: "I don't like how Rocker won through there, not one bit!"
The Cat: "But it was a great match though!" WINNER: Squat Rocker
Foley: "If you great fans missed the news, then I can confirm that episode eight of SCW Jinx will be held in Glasgow, Scotland! Man I can't wait for that one, those rowdy fans in Scotland will make it a night to remember I'm sure!"
Announcer: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the owner of SCW, Mr.Showtime!" (cheers)
*THEME TUNE - 'No One Knows' by Queens Of The Stone Age*
Foley: "Mr.Showtime last week defeated Shane McMahon to end the WWE threat, with help from Exgenesys of course. Not only that, but we were on the brink of losing Bal Bowski, however an emotional plea by his friend Ghostface went some way to change Bowski's mind at the last minute."
Mr.Showtime: "Thank you very much. Last week, we ended any hopes World Wrestling Entertainment had of ruining my promotion (cheers). And so, tonight it's time to celebrate! Alas, now with them out the way, I have time to address some matters. I am now calling someone out to the ring.
Foley: "He must be about to thank Exgenesys, I would've thought."
Mr.Showtime: "I am calling out..........FNS."
(the crowd, and the commentators, seem miffed.)
*THEME TUNE - 'Breathe & Stop' by Q-Tip*
FNS makes his way down to the ring.....however, he is accompanied by his tag team partner, ExGen. They both enter the ring.
FNS: "Before you say anything boss, I think you should publicly thank ExGen here for helping us get rid of Shane O' Mac. He's forgiven me for not believing him and I think we owe him a great deal of thanks for doing the right thing."
Mr.Showtime: ".....I don't think that's neccessary right now." (crowd boos) Listen, FNS, I called you out here to address YOU, not him. Now, I have something to show you on the ShowReel, something very interesting. Play the video."
ExGen, FNS and Showtime turn to face the screen.
Foley: "FNS now controls Max Caschera on the top rope....I don't know what he's trying to attempt here.....Max is the bigger man but...what the HELL???!!"
*FNS performs a SHOOTING STAR TOMBSTONE!!!*
Foley: "I believe that is called a Shooting Star Tombstone, and good God Almighty, Max Caschera has just been CRUSHED!!"
Max is down and out, FNS holds the shoulders down, and the referee counts to three! We have new Tag Team Champions!!
(the crowd cheer loudly when watching that again!)
Mr.Showtime: "FNS, did you spot the vital mistake there? Huh?"
FNS: "Well yeah......I should've done that to Squat Rocker too." (crowd laughs)
Mr.Showtime: "This is no time for JOKES, FNS. You know what the mistake is. You performed a Shooting Star Tombstone. (crowd cheer) And you know that , when you signed your SCW contract, there was a clause stating that you will NOT, I repeat NOT, perform the Shooting Star Tombstone. (crowd boos) That move is BANNED from Showtime City Wrestling. I've seen the damage you caused during your time on the independant scene. You ENDED the CAREERS of talented up and comers with that move. Max Caschera had a lucky escape. And now you've performed it here, you've not complied with your contract."
FNS: "Aw come on boss, it's not as......"
Mr.Showtime: "I could suspend you RIGHT NOW, and I should....but I won't. I am going to punish you in other ways for breaking your SCW contract. And it will start right now. (crowd jeer the owner) I am putting you in singles action tonight. FNS, tonight you are taking on.....
.....Exgenesys!!" (crowd gasp)
Exgenesys: "...I find this situation kinda irksome, Showtime."
Mr.Showtime: "Tough. Oh, and we may as well start that match - right NOW."
FNS vs Exgenesys The tag team champions look at each other in disbelief. Mr.Showtime leaves the ring, and walks down the aisle. As he does, The Tartan Army appear through the curtain. They pass the boss, exchange glances, then head to the ring. The Army - Muzza, Haraga and JaYo, surround the ring. ExGen and FNS see them, but the referee tells the two to hurry up and grapple.
FNS and ExGen lock together, and they both perform some neat counters, reversals, and add in a few hip-tosses and arm-drags. They lock up again, both struggle to get the advantage in the grapple.......
Foley: "Aw, what the hell...the Tartan Army have stormed the ring!"
The Army charge into the ring, and collide into FNS and ExGen! JaYo drags FNS into the corner and kicks him multiple times in the gut. Muzza and Haraga double-team ExGen in the opposite corner. The referee calls for the bell as he escapes the ring.
The Cat: "This looks fishy Mick - like it was a set-up!"
Muzza and Haraga pull ExGen into the middle, and squash him with a Double Whisky! They then join JaYo, they pull FNS into the middle, and hit FNS with a Triple Whisky! What a devastating move! The Tartan Army drag FNS and Exgenesys' carcasses next to each other, and stand victorious above them, hands raised! JaYo and Muzza grab the Tag Team title belts that lay in the corner, and raise them high! The crowd jeer the Tartan Army!
*BACKSTAGE* We see Ghostface in his locker room, lacing up his boots. (cheers) In walks Bal Bowski. (louder cheers) Ghostface stands up, they look at each other for an eternity, then......
Bowski: "......Good luck tonight."
Ghostface: "........Thanks."
They both smile, then shake hands and hug. The crowd roars in approval!
Announcer: "For the next segment, we have a special guest. Please welcome - the President of the United States of America, GEORGE W. BUSH!"
The fans gently applaud the prez. Bush walks into the ring, and is given the microphone.
Announcer George W. Bush: "Women and gentlemen, and citizens of this fantabulous city, we will momentarily now have a special in-ring challenge! The winner of this challenge will get the opportunitism to spin the Gimmick Wheel next week on Jinx, to determinise the match type for the next Gimmick Title defence!"
The crowd begin to cheer, but start booing as the SCW Gimmick Champion Ki Crusher makes his way out to the ring.
*THEME TUNE - 'Courage' by Alien Ant Farm* The No.1 contender, Mikey Richards, then comes out to the ring to applause. Mikey and Ki Crusher lock eyes as the announcer addresses them.
Announcer George W. Bush: "The challenge, set by Sheriff Baz, is the following. The resultant winner will be the first man to win two rounds.......of Rock Paper Scissors." (the crowd groans then laughs)
Ki Crusher grabs the microphone.
Ki Crusher: "Oh come ON! I'm a WRESTLER for Christ's sake! I'm not here to play children's games! This is worse than a damn posedown challenge! I'm fed up of getting no respect from anybody! I'm the first ever champion of ANY KIND in this damn city, and you should ALL be on your damn FEET applauding me!"
The crowd give him pelters.
Mikey: "(grabbing the microphone from Ki Crusher)......Stop being a whiny bitch!"
Ki tries to attack Richards, but the announcer holds him back.
Announcer George W. Bush: "This has to be completified, Crusher. Just get it over with."
Mikey: "Yeah man, calm down. Besides, you'll probably beat me, I'm crap at this game."
George W. Bush explains the rules, and the two hold a hand behind their back.
Announcer George W. Bush: "Ok, the first to two wins. You must have your symbol ready before you show your hand. This is round one.....after three. One - two - three!"
Ki Crusher shows paper. Mikey Richards shows scissors.
Announcer George W. Bush: "Mikey, you are one-nil up! (crowd cheer) Ki, you must overcome this one to stay in it. Ready with your symbolisations. After three. One - two - three!"
Ki Crusher shows scissors. Mikey Richards shows rock.
Announcer George W. Bush: "Mikey Richards - you win the bout!! (cheers)
Ki Crusher: "Hey - I thought you said you were rubbish!"
Mikey: ".....Well yeah, I am.....but you had your back to the ShowReel, so I just watched that to see what your symbol was, so I knew what symbol to beat you with."
(Mikey laughs, along with the crowd, and shrugs his shoulders. Ki Crusher looks grumpy.)
Mikey: "Ok, ok. Hey, I won.....but since I got help, we'll have one more round. If you win this one, you win the bout."
Ki Crusher: "Damn right I'm winning this time."
Ki Crusher swaps positions with Mikey, so he can see the ShowReel. Mikey plays along with it.
Announcer George W. Bush: "Ok, after the realisation of three numberifications. Be ready.....One - two - three!"
Mikey Richards punches Ki Crusher in the face.
Foley: "What the.....Hahaha! Mikey sucker punches Ki Crusher, and runs from the ring and up the ramp! Ki Crusher is kicking the ropes in disgust! Mikey just made a fool out of Ki Crusher!"
*BACKSTAGE* The Sheriff of SCW, Sheriff Baz, is standing facing the camera. He is no longer wearing bandages, just a plaster on his forehead.
Sheriff Baz: "Tonight I announce that Showtime City Wrestling's second Pay-Per-View will be called Hellbound!! It will take place in the Showtime Arena on the weekend of the 20th/21st of November. It's not far away, and that's why I announce two matches right now!"
"At SCW Hellbound, the Gimmick Championship will be on the line! The No.1 contender Mikey Richards challenges Ki Crusher, and the stipulation will be chosen by the Gimmick Wheel, spun by Mikey, next week on Jinx!"
"And the main event will be the final of the World Heavyweight Championship tournament! Squat Rocker is already there, and he will battle either Shake This or Ghostface to be crowned the first SCW World Heavyweight Champion!"
Bal Bowski walks up to Sheriff Baz.
Bowski: "......I have a lot of things to say to you, Baz. Starting with an apology."
Sheriff Baz: "Whoa there. If you have a lot of things to say, you may as well say them publicly, in the ring. And that includes your apology."
Bowski: ".....of course. I hope you pay attention to it then."
Bowski walks off.
World Championship Tournament Semi-Final Ghostface vs Shake This
The Cat: "Shake This is in the ring, he looks pumped up and prepared for this one!"
*THEME TUNE - 'Weenie Beenie' by Foo Fighters*
Ghostface makes his way to the ring.
Foley: "Last week, Shake This defeated The Dark Vampire, while Ghostface downed 'The Minstrel' Mark Henry in record time with a clever hand-shake ploy!"
The Cat: "Yeah but I can't see that happening in this match, Shake and Ghostface respect each other."
Ghostface and Shake lock up, and Shake hits a bodyslam! They lock up again, then Shake This whips Ghostface into the turnbuckles chest-first! Ooh that's gotta hurt!
Shake controls with an inverted back-breaker, and quickly works on the back. He uses a bow-back breaker hold, which stretches out Ghostface!
The Cat: "Remember, Ghostface was in that Inferno Ladder match at ShowCase - his back can't be 100% yet after that scorching hip-toss onto the burning ladder!"
Foley: "He better not make a habit of that - he'll end up being called a glorified stuntman."
Ghostface finds the strength to power out of the hold, and Shake This loses concentration. Ghostface hits some big-time moves, including a DDT, which only gains a two count. Shake is dizzy, and Ghostface goes for a second DDT, but it's countered into a Northern Lights suplex! One - two - a close call again! The combatants stand again, Ghostface blocks an uppercut, sneaks behind Shake, and hits a helf-nelson release suplex! Another shot to the head and neck of Shake!
Ghostface leans into one corner, and prepares to charge at Shake. Shake moves, and Ghostface hits his head off the top of the steel ring-post! Shake grabs Ghostface, and is going for the Pervous Breakdown! Ghostface, however, counters it into a back body-drop, and Shake flips over, hitting the turnbuckles back first and upside down! Shake lands on the canvas on his head, that looked nasty! Shake is dazed, he struggles up as Ghostface tries to recover from the ring-post shot.....they both turn to face each other.....Ghostface reacts first with the Seance! That's Ghostface's signature move, Shake goes down, and Ghostface uses the last of his energy to fall onto Shake, he loosely hooks a leg, but Shake is out! The referee counts to three! What a match! WINNER: Ghostface
Foley: "The crowd applaud both competitors! That was one of the best matches here on Jinx so far, and it means that Ghostface will challenge Squat Rocker at Hellbound for the World Championship!"
Ghostface looks in pain. He helps up Shake, and raises his hand. Shake pulls his hand away angrily.....then raises Ghostface's hand instead! The crowd cheer and applaud. Shake and Ghostface shake hands, and then Shake leaves the ring. Ghostface looks around at the crowd and applauds them.
*THEME TUNE - 'X.Y.U.' by The Smashing Pumpkins*
'Big' Bal Bowski walks into the ring. The crowd applaud him, and begin chanting his name.
Foley: "We were so close to losing him, thank God he changed his mind."
The Cat: Although he has a lot of people to say sorry to."
Foley: "That's true, Cat, that's true."
Bowski: "Thank you. I came out here to apologise. I apologise to Baz for injuring him and causing him to get stitches in his head, because of my thoughtless and selfish actions. I apologise to Ghostface, for momentarily forgetting he is my friend, and he deserved to be treated better. I apologise to the rest of the roster for forgetting that they were family, and stabbing them in the back with with thoughtless and selfish actions.
"And last, but not least, I apologise to the fans. (cheers) I pretty much ruined our, and your, first Pay-Per-View main event here in Showtime City. My selfish actions prevented the fans from seeing a champion crowned, as promised.
(The crowd applauds Bal Bowski.)
"Now that is in the past, and I can move on. I still want to be the SCW World Champion.....so I want to issue.......
*THEME TUNE - 'No One Knows' by Queens Of The Stone Age*
The SCW owner Mr.Showtime makes his way into the ring. He stands right in front of Bowski and asks for the microphone.
Mr.Showtime: "Apologising to the fans? You should be apologising to ME!!"
Mr.Showtime knocks down Bal Bowski with a swift, hard left hook to the jaw.
Foley: "That came from out of nowhere! My God, Showtime is PISSED off!"
Mr.Showtime stands over Bal Bowski.
Mr.Showtime: "You won't be getting no title shot Bowski! You don't DESERVE a title shot and, as far as I'm concerned, you NEVER will! I will ALWAYS be standing in your way to my creation! And I'm gonna PUNISH you for disrespecting me and my promotion! And I'm gonna do that by taking your ass APART.........at Hellbound!! (crowd gasp!)
"I'm gonna make you respect my authority!!"
Mr.Showtime stands back, and lets Bowski stand up. BAMM!!
Foley: "The owner just hit the Showtime Split on Bal Bowski!! That was uncalled for!"
Mr.Showtime again stands over Bal Bowski in the centre of the ring, points and shouts at him, then leaves the ring and walks off, to the chants of 'asshole, asshole, asshole', as the cameras fade to black.
EPISODE SIX:
Quote:
SCW JINX - Episode Six
The ShowReel big screen shows the office of Sheriff Baz. Also in his office is Haraga, The Dark Vampire, The Genius, Max Caschera, 'The Minstrel', and Shake This.
Sheriff Baz: "Ok folks, I have a lot of sorting out to do here. I have ordered a match at Hellbound this weekend, and it will be a fatal-four way match. The winner of that match will become No.1 contender for the Gimmick Championship. The four men I have selected to be in this match are.....
".....The Genius.....Max Caschera.....Haraga.....and Shake This (cheers!)"
"Ok, you four may now leave the office."
Sheriff Baz stares at The Dark Vampire and 'The Minstrel' Mark Henry, the two men left in the room.
Sheriff Baz: "You two......I have some news for you. I've checked up on the roster progress report, as I do every month...and you two at the moment are the worst 'superstars' on this roster. To be quite frank, you two are an embarrassment to SCW.
"I have the authority to release the bottom stars on the report when I see fit. However, I believe in a second chance, and you two will get it. I am teaming you two together at Hellbound. Your match will be called....
......Independants' Day II." (cheers)
"Your opponents are two Indy workers whom I have chosen. However, they only receive a contract if they beat you two. I'm sure this threat to your position with make you buck up your ideas. Meanwhile, tonight I will give you a practice match so you can work as a team before Hellbound. I have purposely picked two of the most untalented Indy workers I could find."
"Tonight, it will be The Dark Vampire and 'The Minstrel' Mark Henry....
....against Byod and Richie Boi."
TONIGHT on Tuesday Night Jinx:
Mikey Richards challenges Ki Crusher to a normal wrestling match!!
A HUGE 8-man tag!!: Max Caschera and The Tartan Army take on The Genius, Shake This, FNS and Exgenesys!!
PLUS! Showtime City Wrestling's first live contract signing! Ghostface and Squat Rocker will face off in the ring and finalise the main event for Hellbound!, on Pay-Per-View this weekend!
WELCOME TO TUESDAY NIGHT JINX!!
Mick Foley: "Welcome to Jinx episode 6 everybody, and we're strapped in for another stunning ride tonight! I'm Mick Foley, as always alongside Dwayne 'The Cat' Dibley!"
The Cat: "OW-OW-OW-OWWWWW-YEAAAHHH! Whoo-hoo man I'm flying and in the mood tonight!"
Foley: "Showtime City is buzzing after the success of Survivor Series, held in this very arena on Sunday, and the capacity crowd are more electric than ever!"
Mikey Richards vs Ki Crusher(SCW Gimmick Champion) Referee: Ronan Keating
Foley: "This weekend at Hellbound, Mikey Richards and Ki Crusher wil face off in a Championship match. The stipulation will be chosen later tonight, using the Gimmick Wheel."
The Cat: "Yeah, but right now the two are gonna preview Hellbound by having a match right now! Of course, this is only a regular style match - this Sunday, they could be in ANY kinda match!"
Foley: "We will find out the exact stipulation, later on tonight."
Mikey Richards and Ki Crusher stare each other out. Ronan Keating: "Ok fellas, I want to see a good clean fight. Good luck, and God bless ya."
Ki Crusher gains the upper hand early on, and works on Richards' right leg. He seems to want to create some limb damage before the championship match this weekend. Mikey looks to be in agony after he is dropped to the outside on the same leg. Ki takes him back in and puts Mikey in the Tree of Woe, and follows up with some devastating kicks to the leg! Mikey Richards is helpless!
Ki Crusher pulls Mikey into the centre, and puts Mikey into a painful-looking leg lock.
Foley: "Whoa, look there Cat - I talked to Ki Crusher earlier today, and he said he was going to debut a new move called the Ki-Lock - that must be it!"
Mikey is screaming in agony as Crusher laughs out manically - but Mikey just won't give up! He reaches the ropes, but Ki refuses to break the hold! Richards grabs the bottom rope, then the middle one, then the top one with both hands...Ki Crusher still has Mikey's legs wrapped up! Referee Keating tries to break the hold but Crusher lamely pushes him away....as he does, Mikey reacts quickly, and rakes Ki in the eyes!
Mikey Richards uses the leverage of the ropes to propell him onto Ki's shoulders - he's broken the hold, he rolls through with a Victory Roll....and Mikey Richards grabs the ropes for extra momentum, the referee recovers and Mikey holds onto the ropes and Crushers' legs for a three count! The champion has been pinned!
The Cat: "Aw come on man, that's cheating!" WINNER: Mikey Richards
Mikey escapes the ring, and laughs at Ki Crusher from the stage. Ki Crusher has been up-ended again by Mikey Richards, and it's Mikey that takes the final momentum into Hellbound this weekend!
*BACKSTAGE* We are inside the locker room of The Tartan Army. Muzza, JaYo and Haraga are talking amongst themselves, until there is a knock on the door. In walks Mr.Showtime.
Mr.Showtime: "Lads, lads! How are ya? (the Army reply positively.) Good to hear. Once again, I'd like to thank you for dealing with my little FNS problem last week. I want all problems to be dealt with swiftly, and that's why I am going to reward you guys. Haraga, you already have a match at Hellbound - the Gimmick No.1 contender match.
"JaYo and Muzza.....at Hellbound, you two will receive a tag team championship shot, against FNS and Exgenesys." (crowd gives a mixed reception)
Foley: "Man, that's gonna be a hell of a tag match!"
Mr.Showtime: "Of course, that's if you don't destroy them tonight, in the 8-man tag. So.....go easy on 'em!"
(Showtime laughs, and the Army laugh along with him.)
JaYo: "Showtime, you are becoming a better boss every single week! You single-handedly get rid of the WWE threat....(boos)....now, you're helping The Tartan Army get the coverage they deserve!"
Mr.Showtime: "Ha ha....lads.....just you lads wait 'til we get back to Glasgow in a few weeks....now that night is gonna make a DX night in the WWF look like a formal dinner party."
The Dark Vampire and 'The Minstrel' Mark Henry vs Byod and Richie Boi Referee: Kriss Akabusi
Byod and Richie Boi are already in the ring. They look like a cross between the Headbangers, and the Blue Meanie......not good. They don't look to be in shape at all. The Dark Vampire and The Minstrel enter the ring, and they look ready to take care of business.
And that's exactly what they do - despite the first-time teaming, Henry and the Vamp are great together, and they murder the two no-hopers in the middle of the ring with lightning-quick tags and short, sharp, painful moves. They are putting on a clinic! Or maybe it's because the opposition are so bad, they'd get a better contest from a couple of corpses....anyway, The Dark Vampire finishes off Byod with a Bloody Hell powerslam - then hits Richie Boi with it too, for good measure. 'The Minstrel' tags in, and hits them both with the INOUTFLS (It's Not Over Until The Fat Lady Sings) from the top rope. He then covers Byod for the easy-as-pie win. WINNERS: The Dark Vampire and 'The Minstrel'
Foley: "That win is all well and good, Cat, but this weekend at Hellbound, these two will be taking on a couple of TALENTED indy workers! Thing is though, who the hell will they be?
The Cat: "I don't have a clue, man - but I can't wait to find out!"
*BACKSTAGE*
The Sheriff of SCW, Sheriff Baz, is alongside Mikey Richards, and the Gimmick (formerly Wheel of Fortune) Wheel. They are both sporting very cheesy grins.
Sheriff Baz: "It is now time, for Mikey Richards to spin the Gimmick Wheel!"
Mikey Richards: "Alright! I can't wait for this!"
Mikey spins the wheel.
Foley: "Mikey took a battering in that match earlier - especially his leg. This match choice could determine who has the upper hand going into it, everything rides on this one spin!"
Sheriff Baz: "The wheel is almost at a stop..............ok, there it is."
The Cat: "Mikey has a different look on his face now, one of nearly horror. I don't think he's happy with his choice!"
Sheriff Baz: "This weekend at Hellbound, it is now confirmed - Ki Crusher will defend the Gimmick Championship against Mikey Richards.......
.........in a Submissions Count Anywhere match!!
We see Ki Crusher, backstage in another room. He is watching the wheel spin on a monitor. He is rubbing his hands gleefully, and smiling. For once.
Ki Crusher: (To himself) "Yes - oh man, Mikey has no chance now. I'm gonna snap that leg of his for sure, heh heh heh!!"
Foley: "Wow folks - the first ever submission match where the opponent can tap-out anywhere in the building!!"
The Cat: "That's if it even stays in the building, Mick - anywhere MEANS anywhere man!"
The ring is now covered in red carpet, and there is a swish-looking oak table inside it, and a couple of Mastermind chairs.
Announcer Jim Carrey: "ALLLLLLLLLLLLL-RIGHTEEEE THEN! It is now time for the World Title Match Contract Signing!! (loud cheers!) Now, let me introduce the man who will over-see the signing of the contracts - your favourite man, and mine - the SCW owner - MISTERRRR....SHOOOOOOOWTIME!"
(the crowd boo very loudly indeed.)
Mr.Showtime: "Thank you Jim. Now, this weekend we will - finally - crown our first ever World Heavyweight Champion! (cheers) And so I now introduce you to the contenders, who have both rightly earned their slot in this match. Ladies and gentlemen - SQUAT ROCKER!!"
*THEME TUNE - 'Sleep Now In The Fire' by Rage Against The Machine* (the crowd jeers the Council member as he enters the ring. He shakes hands with the owner and sits at the table.)
Mr.Showtime: "And now - the second challenger......GHOSTFACE!!"
*THEME TUNE - 'Weenie Beenie' by Foo Fighters* (the audience applaud Ghostface as he enters the ring. He keeps switching focus between Mr.Showtime and Squat Rocker as he sits down.)
Mr.Showtime: "Now, you've both already read the contracts, so before we get to signing, I think the audience should hear some words from the both of you before your important title match, which is fast approaching. Squat Rocker, you can go first." (He hands the microphone to Rocker.)
Squat Rocker: "I don't have that much to say really. I don't see why I should have to talk to the fans.....or justify anything to the fans.....(boos).....All that matters is that I know in my head that I will win this match at Hellbound, and I will become the first SCW World Champion. (boos) I have the talent, the ability, the charisma.....and let's face it Ghostface....I am simply better than you."
(the crowd jeer at Squat!)
".......Ghostface, once I win this match - and I will - I will become the biggest name in SCW. I will become the hottest star in wrestling. I will become a household name. This title tournament is the stepping stone to my greatness. It will not be long before the name Squat Rocker will be held in high regard next to other famous tournament winners, alongside the likes of Keiji Muto......(the crowd can't believe this!).....Shinya Hashimoto, and Kenta Kobashi. Simply put, I am the best that this company has to offer, and ain't nothing gonna change it!"
Ghostface puts his head in his hands. Squat signs the contract. Mr.Showtime lightly applauds Rocker. The arena is now a wall of boos and choruses of 'You suck! You suck! You suck!'.
Mr.Showtime: "Well Ghostface......do you wanna try and top that?"
Ghostface grabs the microphone, and stands up. Ghostface: "Kobashi wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire, Squat." (the crowd go mental!)
".....Look, I just wanna get this over with....I do my talking in the ring, winning matches 1-2-3."
Ghostface signs the contract, and hands it to Mr.Showtime.
Mr.Showtime: "Whoa there....we are not done yet. Now, you may think I should congratulate you for making Bowski stay here, and a part of me thinks that yeah, I should....but it's not gonna stop me making his life a living hell for ruining my first pay-per-view and even thinking about stabbing us in the back. And Ghostface, if you wanna remain loyal to him, despite him stabbing you in the back too, go ahead and do so. But it will just mean more problems for YOU, too. With a World title match coming up, you don't need any more problems. So take my advice Ghostface, and......"
Foley: "What?? - Squat Rocker just attacked Ghostface with his clipboard!"
Squat Rocker forces Ghostface to the ground, as Showtime looks on in surprise. Squat Rocker mounts Ghostface and pummels him with right hands which Ghostface is trying to block!
The Cat: "Squat is trying to get the upper hand before......hey - here comes BAL BOWSKI!! OOWWWWW!"
Bal Bowski comes down the ramp - but Mr.Showtime exits the ring and meets Bowski at ringside! They begin chopping and punching each other! Showtime gets control, and whips Bowski into the steel steps....but Bowski counters, and it's Showtime who goes knees first into the steel!!
Bowski enters the ring and Squat Rocker scarpers!! Bowski forces the table over, and lifts a chair over the ring ropes, aimed at Rocker. Rocker avoids it, helps Showtime up, and they begin to leave.
*THEME TUNE - 'Elevation' by U2* Sheriff Baz: "Well, well, well......you causing more problems boss? Well, I need to sort out this problem before you leave the arena. I've just decided on tonights' NEXT match!! (crowd cheers!)
"Boss....I'm going to team you with your little buddy Squat Rocker here, and you two will face the dream team of Bal Bowski.....and Ghostface!!"
Ghostface and Bowski look on excitedly in the ring. Showtime and Squat argue inaudibly with the Sheriff.
Foley: "WOW! What a tag match! And listen to the ovation of the crowd - they love it! That will be some main-event right there!"
Sheriff Baz: "In fact.....since you two are moaning so much, you better get back in that ring now, because that tag match begins...right NOW!!" (crowd cheers!)
Squat Rocker & Mr.Showtime vs Bal Bowski & Ghostface Referee: Rolf Harris
Squat and Showtime refuse to go back, so Ghostface and Bowski leave the ring and chase the two to the top of the stage, and drag their asses back to the ring! On the way, Bowski and Ghosty fling their foes into the barricades, the apron, and anything else they can find.
Back into the ring now, and Squat faces off with Bal Bowski. Bowski takes control with some vicious chops and clotheslines, but falls on his face when Showtime pulls his hair from the corner as Bal ran the ropes. Squat and Showtime then take over, and they gain advantage over Bowski with quick tags and long, painful holds (many of them illegal choke holds.) Referee Harris tries to keep it clean, but the owner and Rocker begin to use every trick in the book!
Once again, the ref's back is turned, arguing with an irate Ghostface, as Squat and Showtime plant Bowski with a version of the Brick Wall, the Council's trademark! Bowski is flat out in the middle of the ring....and Showtime and Squat both climb opposite turnbuckles!
Foley: "It looks like they are about to try......Showtime with a splash, Squat with a legdrop! - OH!! Bowski rolled out the way! And Showtime and Rocker collide into each other! This is Bal's chance to tag!"
And tag he does, and a hyped-up Ghostface tears into the ring, and ploughs into Showtime with a flying forearm smash! Showtime is sent out the ropes and crashing onto the mats outside! Ghostface turns to face Squat Rocker, and Squat cowers and tries to leave the ring - Ghostface grabs Rocker's arm, and WHAM! Pulls him into a devastating clothesline! Ghostface hits a bodyslam, a sidewalk slam, then a front-face suplex! Bowski gets up, and the two men getting cheered throw Squat out the ring - and he goes crashing into the side of the announce table!
Mr.Showtime is crawling into the ring, very slowly, and he doesn't see Ghostface and Bowski standing there, just simply waiting for the owner to stand up. He does so, turns to face Ghostface, and he slaps Showtime right across the mush! The force of the slap turns Showtime to face Bowski, and BAMM!! A vicious Bal-Breaker!
Ghostface is the legal man. Bowski drags Showtime to his feet, holds him to face Ghostface, and he hits The Seance! Mr.Showtime is down and out, assaulted by the duo of Bowski and Ghostface to riotous applause! The fans are loving this! Ghostface covers, hooks the leg, and referee Harris counts to three. Squat Rocker is nowhere to be seen, his back looks in bad shape after pummeling into the announce desk! WINNERS: Ghostface and Bal Bowski
Bal Bowski and Ghostface walk up the aisle, and just as they are about to disappear behind the curtains, Mr.Showtime orders Harris to get him a microphone. Kneeling on the canvas, Showtime speaks up.
Mr.Showtime: "Hey! Bowski! Listen to me! You may have gotton away with humiliating me tonight, but you won't when it really matters! Bowski.....if I beat you at Hellbound, and by God I can tell everyone right now that I will.....you will NEVER be allowed to recieve a World Title match! NEVER! You hear me Bowski - NEVER!! This weekend at Hellbound - you WILL respect my authority!!"
The Cat: "Holy cat-flaps Mick - Mr.Showtime is off his Squat-Rocker!!"
Foley: "You damn right he is! He's almost hypnotised by the fact he wants Bowski to rot in hell!"
Bal Bowski and Ghostface walk off through the curtain. Bal looks visibly worried by the news, but Ghostface tries to snap him out of it as they walk away.
Foley: "That was an action-packed match right there, and you folks at home will find even more this weekend at Hellbound, our second Pay-Per-View!!"
The Cat: "That's right man, the Tag Team Titles will be on the line - FNS and Exgenesys will defend the championships for the first time, and they face the Tartan Army duo of Muzza and JaYo!!"
Foley: "We will have Independant's Day II - The Dark Vampire and 'The Minstrel' Mark Henry compete to banish the competition - they take on two mystery Indy workers!"
The Cat: "I dunno who they could be, but I'm sure Sheriff Baz has picked only the best for SCW!"
Foley: "Of course! Also, announced earlier tonight, a Fatal Four-Way match to determine the No.1 contender for the Gimmick Title!
The Cat: "Yeah, it will be Haraga, Shake This, Max Caschera and The Genius, and there is a LOT at stake in this one!"
Foley: "And then, of course, that leads on to the match for the SCW Gimmick Championship - Mikey Richards has been a thorn in Ki Crushers' side for weeks, but the champ may get the last laugh, in a Submissions Count Anywhere match for the gold!"
The Cat: "That's right, it's a submission match that isn't just confined to the ring! This one could get crazy as a kitty-kat, OOWWWW!"
Foley: "And then we have the Hellbound double-main event - the Respect My Authority match between SCW owner Mr.Showtime, and 'Big' Bal Bowski!"
The Cat: "The boss has not been happy with Bowski's attitude ever since SCW began, and it all culminates here - I'm sure that Mr.Showtime has a trick or two up his evil sleeves!"
Foley: "The World Championship Tournament began due to the WWE double-cross - it is now in it's final round - Squat Rocker and Ghostface square-off to be crowned the first-ever SCW World Heavyweight Champion!"
The Cat: "This WILL be a match for the ages, the winner will sky-rocket to the top of this industry - there is so much riding on this one, and I believe that Ghostface has the upper hand going into the most important match in their careers!"
Foley: "That's so true Cat, and I can't wait to see what transpires! Those are the matches for Hellbound, this weekend, only on Pay-Per-View!"
*BACKSTAGE* In the referee locker room, Ronan Keating is in conversation with Verne 'Mini-Me' Troyer.
Mini-Me: "So how was it out there Ronan?"
Ronan Keating: "To be sure, it was a lot more fun than I taught it would be. It's easy when you get the hang o' it, so it is."
Mini-Me: "Yeah.....but I have the eight-man tag match........I'm worried that I'm gonna get lost out there, Ronan."
Ronan Keating: "Ah Verne, me old man, just let the action flow, and be there for the major decisions. Just let the guys get on with it. Trust me. After all....you say it best, when you say nothing at all."
Mini-Me: ".........Touche. Thanks Ronan, I better go get ready then. Wish me luck!" (Mini-Me gives Ronan the thumbs-up sign, and waddles out the door.)
Ronan Keating: ".......God bless the wee fella."
Foley: "Just a reminder folks, episode eight of Jinx will be the first ever to be held outside of the Arena here in Showtime City - we are journeying over to Bonnie Scotland, and Glasgows' SECC will be the site of a HUGE Jinx explosion!!"
The Cat: "Yeah man, it's gonna be great! And all the big hitters will be present, including the NEW World Champ, whoever that may be, FNS & ExGen, Ki Crusher, the Tartan Army of course....and the most important ingredient....
Foley: "Who's that, Cat?"
The Cat: ".......ME! Ooowwwwwww!!!"
Muzza, Haraga, JaYo & Max Caschera vs Shake This, The Genius, FNS & ExGen Referee: Mini-Me
The eight men in the ring all face up to each other. Mini-Me tries to get the teams to pick the starting competitors, but is struggling to control this one before it even gets started!
Foley: "Remember folks - this will be a eight-man tag with a one-fall finish, this won't be your unrealistic elimination eight-man tag that you see on inferior shows (which you should stop watching, by the way) in which wrestlers get pinned after thirty seconds just to get some bodies out the way.
The Cat: "No way, Foley! These guys will all be here til the end, it will be a ruck from start to finish!
Foley: "That's right, this match regards two Hellbound matches - the Gimmick No.1 contender match, and the Tag Team championship match aswell."
The first ten minutes or so see the teams both battling for advantage. Both teams perform quick tags, drag their opponents to their corner and try to wear down the opposition. Max Caschera has almost healed up from his damaged neck, but when he is the legal man, he tags out as soon as FNS tags in!
FNS goes at it with JaYo of the Army, the team which beat the crap out of the Tag champs last week under orders of the boss. FNS gets over-powered by the Tartan Army, and so Max sees his chance and tags in, only for FNS to get a gust of energy, and he powerslams a charging Max to the canvas!
FNS tags in Shake This, and he takes out Max, Haraga and JaYo with clotheslines and back-bodydrops! But then Muzza attacks from behind with a dropkick to the back, which causes ALL EIGHT MEN to enter the ring and let loose!
There are two men in each corner, and the Army and Max all get whipped into the centre - CRASH!
The Cat: "Wow! That's the biggest-impact Quadruple Noggin-Knocker I've ever seen - OOOWWWWW!"
FNS waits for Caschera to get up, and clotheslines him over the ropes! The momentum takes FNS to the outside too! ExGen picks up JaYo, and goes for a suplex - JaYo counters, and Muzza joins him, and they attempt a Double Whisky.....The Genius hits an enziguri on Muzza! ExGen hits the ExGenerator Eye-Rake From Hell on JaYo! Muzza and JaYo get thrown out the ring!
ExGen turns around, only to walk right into a Single Malt by Haraga!
Haraga then focuses on The Genius, and powers him into the corner! He attempts to kick The Genius in the abdomen, but The Genius catches the foot, swings Haraga around - and walks right into a Pervous Breakdown by Shake!!
The Genius climbs the ropes, perches on the top rope, and within seconds, lets fly, and connects with Haraga with the Nobel Prize! What a move! Shake This is the legal man, and with everyone else on the outside, Mini-Me has the opportunity to count one-two-three! WINNERS: FNS, Exgenesys, Shake This and The Genius
Foley: "The bell rings! What a surge of intensity there by the team of the Genius, Shake and the tag champs! This has been the perfect ending for the show leading up to our second Pay-Per-View - Hellbound is this weekend, and all that action, all them trademark moves have whet everyone's appetite! The audience in the arena are going nuts!"
FNS and Exgenesys join Shake This and The Genius in the ring, and they all raise hands, and salute the crowd, as The Army and Max Caschera retreat down the aisle, and the show fades to a close.
Foley: "We will see all you guys and gals at Hellbound - you'd be a fool to miss it! Goodnight everybody!"
Big Bal, Ghosty, Sabinite, Baz, FNS, ExGenesys, Firework and Mikey Richards feature heavily I believe...
".......Nice(!)"
"Mmm......nasty(!)
