Friday Night Afterburn - October 14th, 2005

[Juan Hefe]

The MWA keeps on rolling through the nightmarish month of October with an action packed card at Harbour Station in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada as the MWA's premiere superstars hit the mat in a bloody display that must be seen to be believed.

On tap for the card:

• "Dastardly" Damien Demento, the man who viciously destroyed the NMHC Heavyweight Champion at Delirium, will have a very special announcement for the current champ, "Mister MWA" Johnny Knockout.
  
  
• "Flame Enforcer" Ryan Kilst, who defeated "Ganja Man" Matt Pierce at Delirium, will get his chance to capture the NMHC Juniorweight title.
  
  
• EFF Dash, still peeved about his match with "Beautiful" Brook Sage being interrupted by "Bruiserweight" Jericho Black, will get a one on one match with the newcomer that will also determine a number one contender for the NMHC Juniorweight Title.
  
  
• Team MWA will issue an open challenge for the MWA Tag-Team Titles.
  
  
• A returning EHDP will attempt to cause as much havoc as he possibly can. He's still furious over losing the MWA US Heavyweight Title to Vertigo.
  
  
• Chris Revolution will defend his MWA Television Championship against an opponent to be determined.

[Juan Hefe]

Slayer's Reign in Blood blasts through the speakers announcing the arrival of "Dastardly" Damien Demento. He strides to the ring purposefuly, mic in hand. As he climbs into the ring, he shrugs off his robe and signals for his music to be cut off.

"'Mister MWA'! I humiliated you at Delirium on Tuesday!"

Demento pauses, adjusts the harness on his bionically enhanced right arm and continues.

"That's right, I dominated you and pinned you in a minute and eighteen seconds! In fact, even Cureman (See this show to see for yourself) provided a tougher challenge than you did!"

The crowd turns against Demento and boos him mercilessly. The antagonist calmly puts his mic on the ground and raises both his arms up triumphantly. He then steps through the ropes and walks towards a fan who yells obscenities at him. In a swift movement, Demento hops over the railing and clamps the Bionic Face Lift on the fan who succumbs to the hold in mere seconds, crumbling to the floor in a heap.

Before security can tackle him down, Demento quickly grabs another fan and lets his right hand hover close to the terrified man's face. He yells loud enough for the TV microphones to hear:

"One more step and this guy gets his skull crushed just like the previous guy. Get Juan Hefe out here right now."

A few nervous seconds pass as Demento threatens to cave in his hostage's head before Metallica's Master of Puppets comes on over the PA.

Hefe wastes no time coming in through the curtains.

"Demento! You crazy bastard! Do you know how much that is going to cost us!!! Release that man right now!"

Demento yells in Hefe's direction:

"Listen to me Hefe, I know I can't go for Knockout's title until next year sometime (Check this show for the reason why), but I still want to hurt that over-confident little bastard. Book us in a hair versus hair match! Tonight!"

Hefe's jaw drops as he hears Demento's request.

"Wait a minute. You destroyed that man's head to force me to book you in a hair versus hair match with Johnny Knockout? Are you off your Goddamn rocker?!? You got it! Now release that poor man before I send in the tazers!"

Demento releases his captive and retreats through the crowd to the backstage area as the crowd hurls debris and curses at him.

[Vertigo]

[glow=white,2,300]- Jericho Black - [/glow]

"Stillborn" by Black Label Society comes through the speakers and Jericho Black walks out to the ring.

"EFF Dash, you have tried to claim that I only beat you last week because you were looking at tits & ass in the ring. Well this week, you will have no distraction. I am officially asking Juan Hefe to ban everyone from ringside for our match. That way you will have NO EXCUSES!"

The crowd is somewhat mixed half booing and half cheering as they still don't quite know what to make out of the "Bruiser-weight"

"I have pinned you once, and I'll pin you again. Get ready, whether you Fall From Grace, feel the Black List Blast or get turned upside-down and inside-out by The Blackmail, you WILL LOSE!"

Jericho Black tosses the mic out of the ring and awaits Dash.

[Vertigo]

[glow=green,2,300]Vertigo[/glow]

Backstage Vertigo is seen walking around the locker room. He eventually sees Curry walking around.

"Hey John!"

Liftor stops and turns around to see Vertigo.

"Look, I was thinking. Team MWA issued an open challenge for the Tag-Team Belts. Since my usual parter is defending his Juniorweight Belt title, I was wondering what you think about the two of us making a go of it for the Tag Titles?"

[Undamaged Threat]

Then suddenly James Dark comes in the locker room, Vertigo & Curry back up.

"whoa, whoa there I not here for a fight, I'm sorry what I did to your car on Delerium last week, I was mad about someone who was working on my new Wrestling Attire on his computer and then I heard from him I won't be getting my new Attire till his computer his fixed or replaced, GOD I hate Attire makers, anyway I heard you need a partner to go for the Tag-Team Belts right?, well why not me Vertigo and I know you hate me for the things I did, then again so does Curry but I want to make it up to you by helping you get more gold."

James put his hand out.

"so what do you think Vertigo?."

[Vertigo]

[glow=green,2,300]- Vertigo -[/glow]

Vertigo look at Dark's hand and then looks him the eyes

"James Dark wants to be MY Tag-Team partner. Well you are right, I DON'T like you. But then again. I DO Respect what you've done for our company. So under one condition I will challenge on behalf of you and myself. You do NOT do anything stupid. You follow my lead and nothing more. You will fight at my side as equals. The MATCH is what matters. If you can accept that, then I would be willing to team with you."

Vertigo extends his hand to James, still on guard for the cheap shot he assumes is coming.

[MetaSylo]

elsewhere

Passive's "A Perfect Circle" hits and out walks Dash.

"Dude, you missed one HELL of a 3 some when you walked away from me on Delerium. And, heh, I dont think getting kicked in the face by Vertigo quite measured up, heh. But in all seriousness, its my perfessional opinion that you have deep-seeded emotional problems. Now due to our working situation, it would be unethical for me to treat you...but youre a severe case, so I'll come down there and give you some treatment...a good ol' fashioned beat down New Brunswick style!" Dash drops the mic and its on!

[Undamaged Threat]

"Cool man,I have no problem, you will be getting gold around your waist in no time."

James turns around and sees Curry giving him a mad look on his face, then James backs up from Curry and leave's the locker room.

[Vertigo]

[glow=green,2,300]- Vertigo -[/glow]

[glow=green,2,300]*BOOM*[/glow]

"Last" by nine inch nails tears through the speakers as Vertigo makes his way to the ring.

"TEAM MWA! I am here to challenge you two for the NMHC World Tag-Team Championship! If you have the balls, get you asses out here. Oh, by the way, since Matt is defending his NMHC Juniorweight Title, here is my partner, JAMES DARK!"

Dark makes his way to the ring as Fear Factory does their thing over the speakers. (OOC- I Love Fear Factory) Once he's in the ring Vertigo hands him the mic.

[Undamaged Threat]

"HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOO CANADA!."

the crowd goes crazy after hearing that.

"don't rub your eyes people it's real, me & Vertigo are going for the Tag Team belts tonight, people never Thought it would happen but it is, so Team MWA you better be ready......to get in to.......THE DARK!."

hands back Vertigo the mic.

[Neverwinter]

Sometime in the beginning of the night...

Hefe Office

Seth Lawless walks in Hefe's office with Kurtis Gunn following behind him.

LAWLESS: Hefe, I got a proposal I like for you to consider...

HEFE: And what exactly might that be?

LAWLESS: I am not one for Bullsh*t so I'll get straight to the point. I am sure by now you've heard that UCW had been gone under for a few months...

HEFE: I am aware...

LAWLESS: There are lots of great talents there just looking for work...and well...and I have lots of respect for those guys and I think they will be excellent additions to the MWA roster...Now, with just one word 'yes' I can have all of them here on on next week's Afterburn ready to sign the contracts! What do you think?

[snesmaster40]

-Harry Fate-

Suddenly the Team MWA theme starts playing through the speakers and after a few seconds Team MWA walk through the curtains.

Rich (on a mic): "Ha, Vertigo and James Dark, a TEAM!? You've got to be kidding me"

Ted: "Yeah, end the joke guys"

Harry: "Even if it's not a joke, there's no way they can beat..."

Team MWA: "TEAM M... W... A!"

[snesmaster40]

-Johnny Knockout-

*backstage in the locker room*

Johnny is seen in the locker room watch MWA tapes of Damien Demento.

Backstage worker: "Hey Johnny, haven't you heard what Damien just did?"

Johnny doesn't seem to hear what the backstage worker just said as he's too busy watching the screen.

Backstage worker: "Uhh... Johnny?"

Johnny stilll doesn't seem to hear the worker, so the worker decides to tap Johnny on the shoulder, and then Johnny snaps out of his trance.

Johnny: "Huh? Oh hi, didn't notice you there"

Backstage worker: "Damien Demento attacked some fans and is demanding a hair versus hair match!"

Johnny: "Hmm...tell Juan Hefe I'll accept his challenge. I'll make him pay for attacking a fan.

[Juan Hefe]

Juan Hefe's Office

Hefe looks at Lawless in disbelief.

"Are you kidding me? You want me to think about signing more talent when I can barely control the one I have right now? No Seth. Just, no."

Lawless clenches his fists but Hefe continues before he can reply.

"And anyways, right now I need you guys to do me a favour. It's about that tag-team title match later..."

"Dastardly" Damien Demento

Sitting alone in a half-lit locker room, Demento is adjusting his ring gear when a quick blur of movement to his left catches his attention.

"Who the hell is in here. Come out now before I crush your skull."

EHDP walks out of the shadows, an uneasy grin visible underneath his patchwork mask.

"Easy there Esse. It's just me, your old friend."

Demento's mood lightens when he sees the horrifying mask of the insanest luchadore he's ever met.

"Perra, what the hell are you doing back in this rinky dink promotion? I thought you had a contract with AAA?"

EHDP grabs a chair and pulls it close to Demento.

"Nah, this is where the fun is. You hear anything about Sephiru?"

Demento shrugs and grabs a pair of plyers.

"No, and it doesn't matter. Our reign of terror and blood shed is just beginning. I've got that pansy Knockout on the run."

EHDP grins and does a back flip off his chair.

"I saw that Esse. Muy, muy comico. But why hair versus hair?"

Demento grabs hold of a tuft of his hair and yanks. A chunk of hair comes loose as he does so.

"I'm already going bald. Might as well take someone else with me."

A huge sadistic grin crosses EHDP's face as he opens the door to the locker room.

"Want me to go mist him right before the match?"

Demento nods his head and starts adjusting his bionically enhanced arm with the pair of plyers he picked up earlier.

"Sure, knock yourself out Perra."

[Juan Hefe]

"Filthy" Rich Burton, in his new capacity as a backstage interviewer, is roaming the halls, looking for his very first interviewee -- "The LIFTOR" John Curry.

Finally, after walking for seemingly forever (in reality a mere 10 minutes), an exhausted Burton spots his quarry and closes in for the kill.

"John Curry! Fancy seeing you here at Harbour Station -- in Saint John New Brunswick!"

Burton pauses, perhaps waiting for a cheap pop... which isn't going to happen since his interviews only air on the compilation tapes and aren't available to the fans in attendance. Grumbling at the perceived slight, Burton shrugs and continues harrassing the LIFTOR.

"LIFTOR, it's no secret that you were humiliated last Tuesday by Seth Lawless. Do you have any plans to get even tonight?"

Burton shoves his microphone in The LIFTOR's face and waits for an answer.

The Maritime Wrestling Alliance Presents... Friday Night Afterburn (Friday, October 14th, 2005)


Venue: Harbour Station (Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada)
Attendance: 8,153 (Standing Room Only)

Hair Versus Hair Grudge Match / NMHC Juniorweight Championship / MWA Tag-Team Championship / MWA Television Championship


Number One Contender Match for the NMHC Juniorweight Championship

1. EFF Dash versus Jericho Black

A wondrous match for all those who enjoy violence, Jericho Black and EFF Dash gave it their all for a chance at the NMHC Juniorweight Title. Black managed to hit his Fall From Grace (Electric Chair Drop) on Dash at the 2:20 mark, but that only got him a 2 count. This seemed to energize Dash who steadily built his momentum and Black Hole Slammed Black at 5:05. Unfortunately for Dash, Black no-sold the move and took control of the match until the end showcasing his impressive array of unorthodox holds. Suddenly, as Dash appeared to be building momentum, a vicious roundhouse kick sent him to the mat allowing Jericho Black to get the pin at 8:33 and become the new number one contender for the NMHC Juniorweight Title!

MWA Television Championship

2. Chris Revolution (c) versus Raven

The man from the Bowery refuses to leave the MWA until he's left his indelible mark on the promotion and this week it's Chris Revolution's turn to feel the pain. Unfortunately for Raven, Revolution doesn't feel like he's quite done with the MWA TV Title just yet and he puts him away with a Revolution Cutter / Cradle DDT combo at 3:13.

Winner and still MWA TV Champion, Chris Revolution!

NMHC Juniorweight Championship

3. "Ganja Man" Matt Pierce (c) versus "The Flame Enforcer" Ryan Kilst

"Ganja Man" showcased why he is the current NMHC Juniorweight Champion as he methodically took apart the "Flame Enforcer". Throughout the match, "Ganja Man" worked on Kilst's head and neck area in preparation for his finisher, the G-Lock (Tazzmission) which got him the submission victory at 3:06.

Hair Versus Hair Grudge Match

4. "Mister MWA" Johnny Knockout versus "Dastardly" Damien Demento

This feud came out of nowhere and has really put the NMHC Heavyweight Champion in a tough spot. On the one hand, Knockout is a fighting champion, and the fact that his belt can't be on the line against Demento hurts his pride. On the other, Demento is a sadistic, evil man who will stop at nothing to make the champ look bad. The only way for Knockout to settle the feud is for him to put Demento away for good with two or three Knockout Lariats. The match is brutal and thankfully for most weak-hearted fans in the audience, short. Demento mounts a sustained assault on Knockout's head with brainbusters, headbutts and piledrivers, but it's all for naught as Knockout gets angry and nails Demento with the Knockout Lariat at 4:54 to get the win.

---

Post Match Shenanigans

As Knockout gets up from his prone opponent, EHDP sneaks in from the crowd, hops on the top turnbuckle and launches himself at Johnny Knockout who instinctively senses the danger and rolls out of the way. Undaunted, EHDP unleashes a cloud of dark blue mist that misses its intended target. Seeing what is happening almost on top of him, Demento gets to his knees and attempts to grab hold of Johnny Knockout's arms so that EHDP can blind him with his mist. To the horror of both antagonists, Johnny Knockout ducks out of the way just as EHDP unloads another dose of blinding green mist - directly in Demento's face! Staggered, Demento swings wildly and connects with EHDP, who struggles in vain to get out of Demento's grasp. A few moments later, EHDP suffers through a Bionic Face Lift as Johnny Knockout rolls safely out of the ring and grabs a microphone.

"Nice try Demento, but I'm over here!"

Demento continues crushing EHDP's head in a vice until the luchadore stops squirming. Blindly looking up in the direction of Knockout's voice, Demento manages a sadistic smile and continues crushing EHDP's head. As he's about to finish the job, security personnel storm the ring and tazer Demento, rendering him unconscious. Master of Puppets blares out over the PA system and Juan Hefe comes out with a shaving kit in one hand and a microphone in the other.

"Mind if I shave this bastard's head Johnny?"

Johnny nods that he doesn't mind.

"Good, I'll really enjoy doing this."

Without another word and the crowd cheering him on, Juan Hefe climbs in the ring and starts shaving Demento's hair.

MWA Tag-Team Championship

5. Team MWA (c) versus Vertigo and "The Fallen Angel" James Dark

A violent match for one of the most violent titles in all of wrestling, Team MWA fought valiantly to retain their titles but it was all for naught as Vertigo and James Dark were too much on this day. The end came when James Dark, "The Dark Angel", nailed Ted Tsavales with the Dark Buster and managed to pin him at 3:57 while Vertigo kept Harry Fate busy.

Winners and new MWA Tag-Team Champions, Vertigo and "The Dark Angel" James Dark!

((OOC: I realized after I simmed the match that Dark now uses the Cradle DDT as a finisher. I've updated my mempak.))

---

More Post Match Shenanigans

As the referee hands Vertigo one of the tag-team belts, Juan Hefe yet again comes out onto the ramp area.

"Just a second there boys, your night's not through yet!"

From the crowd, "The Regulator" Seth Lawless and "The Jackal" Kurtis Gunn hop the barrier and make their way to ringside. Alarmed at the fact that they aren't rushing the ring as had been previously discussed, Juan Hefe loses all of his composure.

"What the hell are you waiting for Lawless?!? Get in there and destroy them!"

At Hefe's cue, Lawless and Gunn dutifully get into the ring and start fighting with the new tag-team champs. The battle is about to turn in Vertigo and Dark's favour when Team MWA also start beating on them. At four on two, the new champions succumb to the beating and are dumped from the ring. During the action, Hefe makes his way into the ring and starts taunting Vertigo.

"That's right Vertigo, you want to cross me? We'll see who's..."

Before he can finish his sentence, Hefe can hear that Tsavales and Fate are being beaten senseless by the two ex-UCW superstars. Hefe's jaw drops as he witness the scene before him.

"What the Holy Hell is going on here?!? I..."

Hefe's next sentence is cut off as "The Regulator" Seth Lawless grabs him by the throat.

"Your days of bossing Gunn and I around are through Hefe!"

With those words, Lawless Regulates Juan Hefe to the mat with extreme abandon.

He then grabs Hefe's mic and looks at the crowd.

"From here on out, I am doing things MY way! By MY rules! MY REGULATION!"

[Onslaught Six]

As Lawless stands in the ring following the beatdown, the lights slowly start to go dark. Nobody's quite sure what's going on. The arena is now pitch black.

Suddenly at the stage, two familiar green siren lights appear at the sides of the stage as the house lights slowly fade to the pale green. A familiar figure is standing on the rampway, a microphone in one hand, and a steel folding chair in the other.

Slowly he looks up and down the ramp to the ring, and then holds up the microphone.

"My name is John Curry. And I am MWA."

The crowd cheers as LIFTOR tosses the mic aside and bolts down the ring, rolling sideways into the ring and quickly hopping up onto his feet. With one quick blow he cracks Kurtis Gunn in the back with the chair, temporarily taking him out of the action. He holds the chair and looks at Lawless...

"Looks like it's you and me, bastard."

Curry stands still, rigid...Imposing. And angry. He's barely even holding the chair. He doesn't need it. It's all about him and Lawless. That's all.

The MWA is about to have the clash of the century with UCW. And Curry and Lawless' battle will be the defining moment.

Curry is still standing there, waiting for Lawless to attack. The fans are going crazy.

Finally, after a few minutes of the staredown, LIFTOR holds out his arm, and extends his fingers...and tells Lawless to bring it on.

And he does.

Lawless charges forward, perhaps going for a lariat, perhaps a tackle or a spear-type move. Perhaps a Spinebuster of sorts. Maybe a takedown or a slam. We'll never know. Not like it matters, of course, considering what happens next.

LIFTOR dodges to the side and proceeds to do a spinkick to Lawless's back, sending him to the mat. Curry tosses the chair off to the side--he doesn't need it. He doesn't need any weapons. Any power moves. Any slams or punches or blows. No. He's tried that before. It didn't work. It won't work. That's why he needs to do something different than Lawless. He needs to think, needs to use more than pure violence.

This is a changed gameplan for Curry. It's happened before. He's had to change his styles and adapt to opponents where his normal violent methods didn't work. This is one of those times. Lawless can't be defeated by simple attacks. So he has to be taken down by outsmarting him.

Lawless is arrogant, Lawless is stupid. Lawless is a big guy who thinks he knows what he's doing, but only really overpowers his opponent. That's how Curry lost before. That's how he won't lose again.

By now Lawless has gotten up from the spinkick blow to his back. He's up now. Looking at LIFTOR. Another staredown. Good thing this isn't a match--or else it might be slower than Brock vs. Goldberg.

"Come on."

He says the words calmly. Says them without anger or real emotion. Quietly. Barely audible. But Lawless hears him.

Another charge. This one's clearly a Lariat. Curry ducks and grabs the arm, pushing down on Lawless' shoulder with his elbow, forcing his body onto the mat as Curry torques the arm in a Fujiwara Armbar. Lawless is temporarily grounded. Controlled. Stopped. And then the pain comes.

"Come on, you UCW piece of shit. Come on. Break the hold...If you can."

No. Don't get cocky. Don't get cocky. Keep it under control. Keep it calm. Technical. Think. Don't get ahead of yourself. He'll break it when he's ready. He'll break it when he's ready.

With a swift movement, Lawless juts his head forwards and lands his head on the mat, and uses that leverage to quickly flip up onto his feet--taking LIFTOR with him. Curry manages to hold his ground and hold the wrist. Keep contact. Stay steady. Don't get ahead of yourself. Move 'with' the current. Everything Curry learned about professional wrestling is being put to use here.

Lawless stands while holding his shoulder, his wrist being clutched by Curry, who's standing there quietly, awaiting Lawless' next movement.

Lawless takes the bait. He flips his arm slightly and proceeds to turn the tide on LIFTOR, pushing him down slightly. An oppurtunity. Lawless adjusts himself slightly--this wouldn't mean anything to a normal competitor. But LIFTOR knows what he's doing. He's observant. He's watching carefully. Paying close attention. Observing. Studying. Absorbing knowledge. And he knows what's about to come.

In what feels like a split second, Lawless lifts up his leg and kicks LIFTOR in the stomach...or attempts to. This motion, however, is exactly what Curry expected, and he takes the moment and dodges to his right, extending his leg and sweeping out Lawless' other leg from under him. The towering beast falls to his back again. Outwrestled once more by Curry.

Now is the time. The oppurtunity. Lawless is down. Weakened. You've outwrestled him for now. Outsmarted him. Worn him down to a point where you are now equals.

Now is the time for violence.

Curry quickly mounts Lawless and bashes him clean in the face with his fist. He rears back and with full force, pounds forwards again. This is not worked. This is not planned. This is not what was supposed to happen tonight. Another punch. Another pound. Another bash into the side of Lawless's skull. And another and another. Real punches. Real fists. Real pounds and bashes and blows. Pure violence. Because Lawless has invaded his promotion. His workplace. Hell. Curry's home.

Curry continues to bash Lawless in the face. Nothing's stopping him now. Nobody knows how long this is going to go on. Until it happens.

The chairshot wasn't enough to take Kurtis Gunn out. Curry hadn't counted on that. Damn.

And tossing the chair away probably wasn't the best of ideas, now that he thought about it. Yeah. Hindsight is always 20/20. It's hard to plan for the unexpected. Hard to judge what's gonna happen. But that's life. And apparently, that's wrestling.

"Next time I'll take the chair and Gunn into consideration. Next time I'll make sure to take him out with a move. Possibly onto the chair. And possibly having Jessica or Ryan assist me by holding onto the chair. Yeah. That's it."

That's what Curry thinks as he lies face-up on the mat, a pool of blood underneath his head, as Kurtis Gunn helps up Seth Lawless and raises his arms, the bloodied steel chair in one hand.

-Johnny Knockout-

*after the hair vs. hair match*

Johnny watches as Juan Hefe shaves Damien's hair off, he grabs a mic and says:

"Fans, I did not let you down and I made Damien pay the price for attacking one of you"

Johnny then holds the NMHC World Heavyweight title in the air and the crowd start cheering.

[MetaSylo]

post-match

Dash makes his way backstage, still visibly shaken from that insane roundhouse he took from Jericho Black. He beings to stumble on his way to his room when 2 people grab him from behind and hold him up...he looks to his sides and is stunned, its the 2 girls that Brooke so eloquently referred to as "skanks!" "Ladies, how you doin'?!" Dash manages to say. One of them says, "Better than you. But dont worry, we'll fix you up." The ladies give eachother a glace and giggle. Dash replies, "heh, thank you Jericho Black!" and they enter his room..
