Tony is talking to Jericho in his office. Sal & FBI are around. They mock Explosion and put over Y2J on Chaos, the Heavyweight Title, the rematch tonight, etc. Brock Lesnar bursts into the room and tells Tony to GIVE HIM SOMEONE TO KILL. Sal is visibly uncomfortable, the FBI is about to jump Lesnar, but Tony calls them off. Tony happily obliges...and says Brock is impressing him, so he can defend his Hardcore Title tonight against a man who would be HAPPY to face him and put up a good fight...the A-Train!
(Pop!)
(ICWC intro and theme! Hot crowd, JR and Bischoff welcome everyone and recap what went down at Insanity last week, including the arrivals of Y2J and Lesnar, which NOBODY saw coming!)
-In the back, the Punishers run into the FBI in the hallway, and the two groups exchange harsh words. Punishers call them kiss-ups, say they don't even know why Tony keeps them around anyway, they're all LOSERS. Nunzio gets up (er...down, looking up) in the face of Shamrock...angrily mutters through his clenched teeth, "Shamrock. You oughta' know betta' den dat. Watch yer backs, Punisha's. The FBI might have to WHACK YA'S!" (Pop!) The heels walk away, laughing, Candido saying, "Bring it on, guys. Anytime, anywhere. You mess with us...you'll get PUNISHED!"
-Vince comes out for a speech! He's loved.
-Talks about how good Insanity was, how ratings were BIG last week (and continue to grow), and that Explosion and Aggression should be VERY nervous right now, because after Insanity, Chaos is the fastest-growing company in wrestling, and it has TONS of momentum. Mocks "La Resistance" being the surprise on Aggression. Says they're using VINCE'S old, played-out stars, people no one cares about anymore, people he sucked dry, like HHH, Steve Austin... The only new blood on that show is Iron Man, and anyone named after a 25 year old song by Ozzy Osbourne is NO threat to us! (Ha!) Mocks Adam's management style, says Breakdown's main event was announced 6 days before the PPV...very sloppy. The Four Horsemen...ALSO ten years ago. The Paynes? Mortis?! What, are they TRYING to be, WCW? Might as well bring back LA PARKA while they're at it! (Ha!) Chaos is going to be the beginning of the NEW ERA in ICW, the "breakdown," as it were, of Explosion and Aggression. Because the key to wrestling is competition. And Tony and Vince, they're the most competitive in the game. They have the brains and the money, and their roster has more talent than the others COMBINED! (POP!) So, a challenge is issued to both of the other ICW federations...Vince says that the next PPV event is brand-specific...but at the next ICW combined PPV...CHAOS IS COMING. TRY ALL YOU LIKE...YOU CAN'T STOP US. Just when you thought things were settling down in ICW...we're injecting a little CHAOS!
-Brock v. A-Train
-Brock wins this big-man contest, crowd split (Albert's a total face on this show and has a few good wins under his belt)...Brock is cheered when he comes out on top, the NEW BIG MAN of Chaos! As he's leaving the ring, Nightmare appears at the top of the ramp! He has a mic, and says A-Train isn't "hardcore." NIGHTMARE IS HARDCORE. If Brock Lesnar came to Chaos for a challenge...look no further. Consider this a challenge to a match next week, Lesnar...and prepare to have your ASS HANDED TO YOU! (BOO!)
-Palumbo (w/Sal) v. Candido
-The confrontation from earlier sparked this match-up...Candido and Palumbo go at it in a good, solid match. Sal, eventually, screws over Candido and Chuck gets 1, 2, 3! Out comes Shamrock to attack Sal, and Nunzio runs out and uses his speed to combat Ken's size. A good feud is born, lots of intensity! The Punishers looking to prove their dominance as a group, the FBI showing why they were hand-picked by the Chairman!
-Chris Jericho Show - Saturday Night Jericho!
-1st episode on Chaos! Jericho repeats a bit of what he said at Insanity last week, why he's here, etc. The show will now be changed to reflect Jericho's change...welcome to...SATURDAY NIGHT...JERICHO! (POP!) Our first guest: Terry Funk! Funker is out, sits on the plush but stylish couch as Jericho sits as at a nice, new desk with coffee and stand-up mic and all. Funk talks about how Jericho and guys like that need to put on a show. Guys like...SABU. Guys with fancy moves, flashy outfits...nothing big p*ssies to Funk! Jericho protest, and Funk yells at him to shut up. Funk says he's tired of sitting around. He's ready to get in the ring, and he wants to face off against his old rival, Sabu. The LOSER who couldn't beat that little sh*t Tajiri! Jericho tells Funker, with all due respect, to PLEASE...SHUT...THE HELL...UP! (POP!) Funk, however, reaches over, grabs Jericho's face, and SLAPS it hard! He says he's done, he's said what he came to say. (BOOOOOOOO!)
-Shamrock v. Nunzio (Television)
-Nunzio thinks he can take the TV Title from Shamrock, and talks a reluctant Tony into giving him a title shot tonight! He puts up a great fight, it ends up being a technical wrestling FEST...and a really good match! I'd love to see it, truthfully. They go back and forth for a while, but nothing can contain the hatred between the FBI and Punishers. Nunzio wins by DQ when Candido runs in and beats down the FBI frontman. On a mic, he says it looks like Nunzio's the one who just got "whacked." Dawn dances sexily above the carcass of Nunzio, then kicks the little Italian Stallion in the nuts! They Punishers leave to boos!
-Morely v. Y2J (Ladder, Heavyweight)
-Rematch from Insanity. Hardcore match, not the best ever, but solid ladder match. Jericho, in the end, is able to prove he deserves to be Heavyweight Champion, beating Morely with a Liontamer across the top of the ladder, dropping him down in pain, and grabbing the belt! Pop for Jericho!
-Tony comes to the ring to a huge pop! He announces that in 3 weeks, ICW-C will have a HUGE show, featuring Terry Funk v. Sabu in a Barbed...Wire...Match! Whee! Their EC-dub match was a classic, inspirational to us all. The rematch...I can't imagine! We will also see Brock Lesnar defend his Hardcore Title...in the most extreme match in ICW history, never-before seen, against an opponent of Brock's choosing, whoever Lesnar thinks can TRULY offer him a challenge, be it Nightmare or anyone else in that locker room! Also, at least 3 belts will be on the line, and, of cousre, much, much more excitement. More on that next week. Stay tuned...there's a REASON Chaos is the fastest-growing force in wrestling!
-Tajiri v. Sting (Steel Cage, Supreme)
-Cool match, if only to see Sting wrestling again. However, he doesn't go over in his rematch from Insanity, when he feels he was cheated by Funaki (and he was). This time, they go at it for a while in a good match, crowd is pumped, and Funaki, in the end, runs out with a chair, whacking Sting's fingers through the fencing of the cage as he tries to climb! OUCH! Sting falls to the ground, Tajiri hits a Buzzsaw Kick to the head, climbs out for the win! SUPREMA' CHAM-PYUN! Good pop for Tajiri as he and Funaki celebrate the win outside the ring and Sting clutches his throbbing head in the ring! END!
====================================================
(ICW logo...static...backstage.)
A-Train is talking to Jericho.
A: Come on, Chris, you have to! We been friends for years, just help me out!
Y2J: Al, look...you're doing fine on your own. Just pick it up and assert yourself. I already have a guest booked for the show tonight, anyway.
A: Yeah, but I know that an appearance could give me a boost! Your show's huge, and any guest usually ends up in a big match. If you could just bring me ou--
Y2J: LISTEN, JUNIOR. Y2J already TOLD you...the show's booked, now go figure out how to win a match again instead of trying to steal cheap heat off of Saturday Night Jericho...(looks into the camera)...coming up next!
(ICW INTRO, THEME!)
- Saturday Night Jericho
-We open with the set in the ring! Heavyweight Champion Jericho says tonight, he's got a HUGE show. To celebrate how badly he's going to beat D-Lo Brown in their match tonight for the Heavyweight Title, Chris is making this show action-packed since I'm probably going to make short work of that assclown, so he'd hate for all those Jerichoholics out there to feel gypped by the Hilite of the Nite! Tonight, Jericho's debuting a co-host on the show. GREGORY HELMS! Helms comes out to a pop, looking stylish and fit. He's happy to join the show, Jericho begins to ask about his past. Helms gives some goofball story, no mention of the "Hurricane." Jericho says he's crazy, but he likes him, and wishes him luck in his first Chaos match next week against none other than Tajiri's Numba' One Assitant, Funaki! Their guest tonight is someone fans have been clamoring for, and he's happy to have the exclusive on this one...please welcome...HULK HOGAN! (Real American theme, pop, Hogan is out, Hulking all over the place.) Hulk says it's good to be back in yellow and red again, hearing the cheers of all the little Hulkamaniacs out there who keep him pumped every time he steps into that ring! (POP!) But the real reason I'm here tonight, brother, is --- (JUSTIN CREDIBLE THEME!) Out comes Justin. He's tired of hearing old man Hogan run his mouth. Just retire already! Look, the future of this sport is standing right in front of you. So why don't you just move your old ass off the top of the mountain before Justin Credible PUSHES YOU OFF?! (OOOH!) Hogan, pissed, says, "You got a lotta' nerve, DUDE...so, listen up. Hulk Hogan didn't get to the top by being pushed around by little punks like you, and he's not about to start now. So if you want a piece of the Hulkster, let me just ask you this...whatcha' gonna' do, Justin? Whatcha' gonna' do...when Hulk Hogan...and the full force of HULKAMANIA RUN WILD ON YOU?!" (POP!! Hogan theme, Credible yells at Hogan, commercial.)
-Brock v. Nightmare
-Nightmare takes Brock to a new level. Lesnar is completely manhandled. Mauled. Wrecked. Somehow, he wins (!) as an angry A-Train runs out to attack Nightmare (A-Train is worried that he isn't getting a push anymore due to his losing streak, doesn't want to be upstaged, this was HIS show from the beginning!). Brock gets the reluctant pin. Lesnar takes a mic, knows he didn't deserve the win, and says he wants his greatest challenge yet, Nightmare, to be his opponent in 2 weeks at the next Chaos free-per-view. Leaves w/ no answer, Nightmare's still out.
-Tajiri/Funaki skit, getting ready for Funaki's match that night. Making Funaki drink eggs, do jumping jacks, to try to be "as good as Supreema' Champyin!" Funaki, loyally, goes along with it.
-Funaki v. Gregory Helms
-Funaki loses when Tajiri spits the mist from the apron and Helms ducks...so it hits Funaki. D'oh! Tajiri is beside himself, Helms get the 3. There's a Gregory comin' through!
-Maven v. X-Pac
-Maven wins, continuing his push, X-Pac loses, continuing his anti-push.
-Funaki a little mad that Taj messed-up the match...especially after helping the champ win against Sting over the past 2 weeks! But Tajiria apologizes and makes it up to his assistant with a trip to a hot sushi bar! They leave for a night of fun.
-A-Train v. Goldust
-Goldust beats the loveable hairball. He's booed, is a heel, A-Train is disappointed, 2 losses in 2 weeks!
-Y2J v. D-Lo
-D-Lo puts on a great match, Jericho barely takes the win. D-Lo, after the match says he may have lost, but he better not hear anymore disrespect out of Jericho or ANYONE ELSE'S mouth! YOU'RE LOOKIN' AT THE REAL DEAL, NOW! And he wants a rematch at the free-per-view in 2 weeks. Jericho accepts...but it'll be a match of HIS choosing. D-Lo says anytime, any match. Y2J smirks, brings the mic to his lips, and says, "Submission Match." Crowd pops as D-Lo is pissed, fade out on a smiling, gum-chewing Y2J!
=========================================================
-Funaki got food poisoning last week at the sushi bar! He's in the back with Tajiri, looking green. Tajiri is trying to pump him up for his match tonight, again, like last week, forcing raw eggs down his throat and telling him to do jumping jacks! This time, Funaki does about 3 jumping jacks and throws up the raw eggs all over the floor. Tajiri, worried: "Dis' okay...we work with it."
-Tony speech, plugging next week's free-per-view , "Elevation." Talks up card (Lesnar/Nightmare Scaffold Match, Funk/Sabu Barbed Wire, Hogan/Credible Grudge Match, Punishers/FBI Tag Match), how many big things are coming, and how it's the night before Explosion's "Showdown" PPV. Sad to see Ed Moorhouse, Icon 01, ousted as head of Aggression, but he has no qualms about putting Adam out of business...and challenges Adam to deliver with the promise of Showdown as best he can...but that after this weekend, it'll be CHAOS that everyone's talking about!
-Nightmare v. whoever screwed him last week.
-Y2J Show (w/ Gregory Helms)
-Vince is the guest, talking about Hart's comments on Explosion. How it's sad that the ICWE guys feel the need to mention Chaos, the need to associate themselves with such greatness. The ratings are growing all the time. No one ever thought a Saturday night show could compete in ratings with Monday or even Thursday...but it's closing the gap, and soon...we're blowing the gap wide open! Icons, watch your backs!
-Sabu v. Funaki
-Sabu wins, as Funaki is still sick...and Tajiri attempts to come in to help his poor partner, but somehow messes-up again. This time, I think it should be with a chair. Ref out, we know Tajiri's coming. Taj is about to hit Sabu with the chair, but Sabu sees him and avoids it, causing Taj to hit Funaki again. The chair is dropped in shock, Tajiri's mouth an "O" of surprise...Sabu picks up the chair, tosses it at Tajiri, who catches it...and takes it to the face thanks to a Sabu bounce off the ropes missile drop kick! Sabu tosses the chair out of the ring, gets the pin as the ref is waking up. Funaki loses again! Tajiri goes to help up his woozy buddy, but Funaki pushes him away, then vomits in the middle of the ring! He is miserable, then takes a mic. "Tajiri! You say you Funaki friend?! You make me lose matches! You poisona' me! You no friend! Nex' week, Funaki not be sick any maw'! At El'vashun...WE FIGHT! YOU LOSE THIS TIME! TAJIRI FUNAKI...NO MORE!" Funaki leaves, holding his stomach, head. Tajiri is pleading with him from the ring. Looks like this happy marriage is coming to an end!
-Helms v. Goldust
-G.dust wins, a heel, is tired of the "Gregory" thing. He slaps Helms across the face and tells him to be who he really is, snap out of it. Because you have a new ARCHNEMESIS...and you'll need SUPERPOWERS to beat him!
-Funk speech
-Foul-mouthed old crazy man talks about how he's going to destroy Sabu next week.
-Gregory Helms in the back, w/ Y2J in Tony's office, trying to remember who he is. Jericho is about to tell him, but Tony says not to do it, it's dangerous to try to force an amnesiac out of it...plus he might not be too happy if he realizes he's been tricked into signing with Chaos. Gregory struggles with his secret identity...with words like "arch-nemesis" and "superpowers" ringing in his mind!
-Punishers v. Hollys
-Punishers win. Dawn Marie takes mic, says next Saturday at Elevation, just like these guys, the FBI will be the ones getting PUNISHED. FBI runs out and the two teams brawl, Hollys get up and help FBI clear Punishers out of the ring, fade out.
============================================================
ICWC: Elevation
------------------------
-Hogan v. Credible
-Hogan wins, Credible is incredibly frustrated. He threw everything at Hogan, and Hulk still won with a damn leg drop! Credible, after the match, near tears, SWEARS he'll make his mark yet...he'll be the one to FINALLY DESTROY HULKAMANIA ONCE AND FOR ALL!
-Punishers v. FBI
-Punishers are distracted when Dawn Marie is threatened outside by Sal. Nunzio and Palumbo capitalize and take the win! Go, FBI! Sal carries Nunzio out, the 3 walk up the ramp, laughing. They stole the win there, after a solid match, lots of intensity and power moves...Nunzio not in much.
-Lesnar (c) v. Nightmare
-The two climb the scaffold. There are tables stacked in the ring, 3-high. The bell rings, they slowly work towards eachother and lock-up. The match, goes on for a while, with Brock almost being tossed-off, but grabbing the chain holding the thing up. The force jerks the platform, snapping lose the chain Brock is hanging from for dear life...and sending Nightmare down to the ring, reducing tables to splinters as the crashes in a heap. Brock is holding on, when in the ring, Nightmare SITS UP?!!! HUH?! He stands up, roars a battle-cry, and climbs the ladder to grab Brock's leg and pull him down. Brock falls to the ring, through a table, bouncing off the second and landing awkwardly in the ring. Ouch! Nightmare is a demon! However, Brock wins. EMTs tend to Brock as Nightmare smiles and laughs sadistically from the top of the ladder. Brock is taken out on a stretcher, complaining that he's okay, he wants to walk out on his own. The EMTs, of course, won't let him, and you can hear him screaming to let him OFF! He grunts, struggles, and snaps the straps on the stretcher, getting to his feet and charging the ring, where he pushes over the 20-foot ladder Nightmare is perched upon, sending the monster down and through yet ANOTHER stack of tables! Brock, the crowd popping at the intensity, picks Nightmare up and F5's him! WHAT A SICK MATCH, WHAT A NASTY ENDING!
-Funk v. Sabu
-What could be sicker than the last match? How about metal barbs tearing human flesh? How about blood-spilling TORTURE?! They rip eachother up. Funker takes the win with a flaming branding-iron scarring the back of Sabu (more) and then whipping the thing across his head, knocking him out. Sabu is burned, bloody and bruised. Funk isn't much better-off. He is about to brand Sabu's face (Sabu resists, holding the iron back as Funk holds him down with his boot to his chest)...until INFINITY runs down to make the save! People pop as Inf. takes the hot iron, shoves Funker, and looks down at Sabu...THEN SMILES AS HE RUNS OVER AND PRESSES THE SCALDING METAL AGAINST THE BACK OF SABU AGAIN! AAAAAGH!! Infinity and Funk laugh and leave together, Sabu in pain. Huh?! Why?! The crowd, once behind Infinity...is BOOING LIKE CRAZY!
-Y2J (c) v. D-Lo
-Gregory Helms interferes to help Jericho. D-Lo clocks Helms one hard, sending him off the apron and head-first into the barrier...Jericho takes advantage of the distraction to slam D-Lo and take the win. Jericho retains, D-Lo is cheated, Helms took a blow to the head and as Jericho walks him up the ramp...it looks kind of like a light is flickering on in Helms' head! Could he remember? Are the Hurri-powers reawakening?!! Tune into Saturday Night Jericho next week!
-Tajiri (c) v. Funaki
-Funaki and Tajiri put on an amazing Poruresu (sp.?) match. They flip all over the place, and in the end, Tajiri spits the mist, which Funaki ducks...and Funaki spits a BLUE MIST of his own! Tajiri falls, clutching his face, screaming, and Funaki goes to the top, hits a Corkscrew Moonsault, and takes the victory! NEW NUMBA' WAN SUPREMA' CHAM-PYUN...FUNAKI?!! Ha! |
