LIVE FROM RIVERTON, NJ!
---------------------------------
(Figure speaking in darkness...)
??: There is no reason I shouldn't be the Revolution champion. I am pound for pound the best wrestler in this damn federation. Tonight...I face Infinity for the World Heavyweight Title...and when all is said and done...I will stand in the middle of that ring, holding my belt high. Infinity...you might want to consider a name change...
(Figure sits forward into the light...it's Tazz! Big face pop from crowd.)
Tazz: ...because your time...is up.
(REVOLUTION THEME! CROWD IS REALLY HOT TONIGHT! Like, Anna Kournikova is in the front row, stripping. Behind her, the Olsen twins make out with Mandy Moore. THAT'S how hot it is.)
King: Oh, my goodness, Mark! You hear that? Looks like Infinity's about
to come to an end!
Mark: We'll find out tonight, King, as the Human Suplex Machine faces the man some say is invincible. Also tonight, 02 has promised we'd see two more title defenses, and he's guaranteed that this will be a show no one will soon forget.
King: I don't think I'll be able to forget it when Tazz finally gives that hack Infinity what he has coming to him!
Mark: I don't know if I'd call him a hack, King. Granted, some of the boys
aren't happy with him because he's so secretive and he won the belt right
away upon his arrival on Revolution...but you gotta' admit he's got a lot of
talent!
King: The only thing Infinity has going for him is mystique. No one knows
him, he never talks...everyone's just intimidated by his image. But for
once, he'll be facing an opponent who isn't afraid of him. Tazz hasn't lost a match in months, and I think he'll walk out of here tonight with the title.
Mark: Either way it'll be an exciting match, and --
(ICON THEME HITS, HUGE POP!)
Mark: And here's the Chairman of Revolution, Tony Sadowski. King, he's got a big smile on his face.
King: Well, that could either be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on
who you ask...
Tony: Ladies and gentlemen, it is a pleasure to be holding this edition of
ICW Revolution here in the sold out Riverton Center, in the hometown of my fellow Icon, Ed Moorhouse!
(Pop!)
King: Jeez, he's as bad as Mick Foley. Listen to that cheap pop!
Tony: Man, what a show. I mean, a show like this doesn't just happen every day. It's a life-altering experience...and let me tell you...it's
definitely going to be a Revolutionary night. First of all, Ed Moorhouse,
your hometown hero, is here, tonight! He'll be out later in the show for
something he hasn't even told ME about yet. But I like surprises, so I'm sure my good buddy won't disappoint.
(HUGE POP, "BIG DADDY!" CHANT STARTS, TONY SMILES AND WAITS A BIT.)
Tony: Also tonight, as you know, one of the single most impressive wrestlers on the Revolution roster is getting his shot at the biggest prize in the game. Tazz has been undefeated ever since he won the Intercontinental Title, but we'll see one streak come to an end tonight, when Tazz takes on your amazing World Heavyweight Champion Infinity in a STEEL CAGE MATCH!!
(POP!!!1111)
Tony: So get ready for a night that I guarantee will make ICW history!
(ICON THEME, TONY LEAVES THE RING.)
Mark: Well, we'll see if he's right about that...but what about the bombshell Ed Moorhouse is supposed to drop on us later?
King: I don't know what that idiot has in mind...but even I have to admit that after Total Warfare, both of those men are capable of turning the wrestling world upside down.
(Commercial.)
----------------
MATCHES
-Tajiri (c) d. Spike Dudley (X-Pac/Waltman tries to interfere for Spike, ends up costing Spike the match...oopsie. What a dumbass.)
-Chris Benoit d. Kurt Angle (INCREDIBLE MATCH!)
-Paynes (c) d. Team Angle (Paynes turn on Nightmare, leave on their own to a FACE POP, overjoyed at beating the unbeatable Team Angle for the tag titles!)
-Goldberg d. Big Show (DQ when Jericho runs in and clobbers Goldie with a sick chairshot. Jericho cuts a promo, saying he's better than even the Great One himself...and he's challenging Tazz to a match for the Heavyweight Title next week on Revolution, live from the Vet!)
-Tazz (c) d. Infinity (Tazz wins after a 30-minute match with tons of fake finishes...Infinity, having finally lost, shakes Tazz's hand, gets on one knee in the middle of the ring...and the lights go out. When they come up, he is gone and green smoke fills the ring...ooooh, creepy...)
----------------
(ICON THEME! Ed Moorhouse slowly steps out onto the stage, clowning a bit for his hometown crowd, looking around to see who they're cheering at, then pointing at himself...etc...and makes his way to the ring. The ovation lasts minutes until Ed brings the mic to his lips.)
Ed: Riverton...BIG DADDY...IS HOME!
(POP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Ed: Ha ha...yeah, sorry it couldn't be a Vengeance show.
(Crowd laughs, small pop. After all, this is a Revolution crowd!)
Ed: But Big Shot was good enough to book this great arena for a night he hasn't told me too much about, but that's already turning out to be an
amazing show. How about Tazz winning the Revolution World Heavyweight Title, huh?
(POP!)
Ed: That was a great match, but...I'm not here to put over Revolution. I'm
here because we're at the end of the show and I asked Big Shot to
meet me here for a little surprise of my own. Tony, you coming out here
before the show's over or what?
(Icon theme, Tony walks to the ring puzzled, but cheerful. Ed is now
wearing the big grin.)
Tony: So, brother...you have a surprise for me? Tonight, on my biggest
Revolution ever is a perfect time for the occasion.
Ed: Well, buddy...with our first year of ICW behind us, surely you know
what this is all about. Don't you?
Tony: Not a damn clue, brother!
Ed: Okay, well, allow me to refresh your memory. In our ICW contracts,
drawn up so perfectly by our good friend Shane McMahon, is a clause known as the Year-End Exchange. It's the time of year talent trades HAVE TO be made between Revolution and Vengeance to keep the rosters fresh, and I'd like to announce here, tonight, my three choices from your roster who will be coming over to Vengeance starting NEXT WEEK.
Tony: (Shocked.) Ed, I didn't know about this.
Ed: Tony, it was in the papers.
Tony: Yeah, but we never talked about it, I thought we agreed we were going to leave our talent alone?
Ed: Well, maybe we were GOING to leave the talent alone, however...after
Total Warfare, I honestly have had my eye on three of those Revolution
superstars and I have every legal right to bring them over.
(Shane McMahon theme! Shane comes to the stage w/ a mic. Gets a big pop!)
Shane: Hold on, Daddy! Yes, that clause was included in your contracts.
But you're getting it wrong. You DO have the option of trading
talent...however you DON'T get to pick that talent. Those superstars have
to come to you first and ask to be traded. That way no one is taken from
their federation unwillingly. Also, they can't be title-holders. If they
are, you have to get Tony's written permission.
Ed: Shane-o Mac, I saw the fine print, don't worry. And I spoke with
these superstars at Total Warfare, after their matches. They all voiced
interest in changing federations because of all we have to offer over on Vengeance...and I'd like to introduce to you right now, my three newest
superstars...
(Vengeance theme plays as Angle, Goldberg and HHH walk to the ring, where they join the Icons and shake hands with Ed. Tony is beside himself watching his ex-superstars turn traitor on him.)
Tony: Okay, buddy, you wanna' play hardball, well I'm game. All of you
guys, you had it made over here. Angle, you were a GOD in this federation. A living legend, giving these Revolution fans some of the greatest matches wrestling has ever seen! And you'd just walk out? Goldberg, I signed you right out from Vince's nose! You're making a ton of money and all you have to do is show up once in a while and Spear someone! You were set. And Triple H...I know you were upset about not being the big dog around here, but that's completely your fault and you know it. I gave you chance after chance. If you weren't happy, you should've told m--
(HHH spits in Tony's face, then grins and joins the others. The crowd boos, but Tony keeps cool.)
02: Fine. It doesn't really matter. Thursday night on Vengeance, I'll be in attendance. Not as an Icon, but as the Revolution Chairman. And I WON'T be leaving empty-handed...I'm taking 3 of Vengeance's finest home with me. Next week on Revolution, you'll see the debut of the three newest Revolution superstars! And I guarantee...you won't be disappointed!
Mark: I can't believe this! This is incredible! WHAT A NIGHT!
King: Three new superstars next week?! Who will 02 choose?
Mark: What if no one wants to join the Revolution roster?
King: For our sake, I hope some big-timers do...I can't imagine Revolution
without Kurt Angle, Goldberg or Triple H!
Mark: I know one thing...Tony was right. After tonight, Revolution will
never be the same!
(Fade out on shot of Tony and Ed locked in a stare-down in the ring. Tony eases into a devilish grin, Ed responds with a sinister grin of his own...it appears the Icons are on the same page...and they both know ICW is about to get even BIGGER!)
