[glow=purple,2,300](November 15th, 2005)[/glow]

This week's show comes to you from Mile One Stadium in St-John's Newfoundland.

This week on Delerium

The Vertigo Challenge^TM has been issued to "The Regulator" Seth Lawless. Vertigo has promised to make this match more interesting somehow.

The NMHC Juniorweight Champion, "Ganja Man" Matt Pierce has challenged "The Alaskan Assassin" Sean Lonewolf to a match.

So far there is no word on whether or not the UCW stars will accept or not.

The MWA United States Championship will be on the line tonight when the champion, The Dark Angel" James Dark goes 1-on-1 with Raven who earned the shot last week by defeating Johnny Knockout. This match will be conducted under Raven's Rules

The NMHC Heavyweight Champion, "The Liftor" John Curry will be in action against El Hijo Del Perra.

The newcomer "Risen Dragon" Luke Devlin will make his debut against EFF Dash in a ladder match. The winner of the match will team with "The Bruiser-weight" Jericho Black immediately afterwards to take on Team MWA, Harry Fate & Ted Tsavales

"Flame Enforcer" Ryan Kilst will take on "Beautiful" Brooke Sage following Brooke's humiliating prank on Kilst.

"Dastardly" Damien Demento goes 1-on-1 with Johnny Knockout.

[Devlin]

The show opens, and the camera pans in on a unknown figure wearing street clothes, sat cross-legged on a table, the hood from his sweater hanging over his eyes. The stranger looks up as Jericho Black walks past him, looking annoyed.

"Hey there", says the hooded figure, "over here". Black looks around to see who is addressing him, and walks over to the stranger. The hooded figure continues to speak, his eyes obscured from view by his hood.

"I've noticed that you've been rather down on your luck as of late", he says quietly, "and that Ryan kilst guy beat you to the number one contender's spot. But you know what you don't get alot of that you deserve? Respect."

Black looks at him and grunts, "and what, exactly, are you getting at?"

You see, all these losers think that the guy in the mask is a misfit- an oddity, who doesn't even deserve the time of day. They don't understand what they can't see. But I have an offer to make you. Team up with me, and we can be big. We can mean something. We can make these losers recognise who we are. And you will get your respect. Tonight, Ganja Man supposed to have a match against Lonewolf .But I say we go give the Ganja Man a little surprise- I think I should make my arrival known. We can do it your way- the bruiserweight way. Think about it".

The stranger rises from the table and says, "let me know when you have an answer". He starts to walk off when Black puts a hand on his shoulder.

"Wait a second", Black starts, "who exactly are you?" The stranger pulls the hood off, to reveal a man with dark hair, and piercing grey eyes.
"Me? I'm the Risen Dragon. I'm Luke Devlin." And with that, Devlin walks off.

[Ganja Man]

A camera man is randomly walking down the hall when we see a door open and smoke billowing out. Ganja Man and Vertigo step out, followed by Brook. The camera zooms in on them and it appears they've been taking part in a little prematch ritual, but that's purely speculation.

Ganja Man: "Hey man, I never got a chance to say thanks...about last week. I don't know if I would have been able to last much longer had you not been there; but tonight, when I meet Sean in the ring, I'll prove that I am every in every way capable of victory. And of course, when you step into the ring with Lawless, he's gonna get a taste of the MWA whether he likes it or not. You be sure and take him out man, I'm sure whatever you have planned will more than get the job done...but I've been wondering, what if they no-show tonight? What if they're afraid to step up?"

Ganja Man then stops and looks around, searching for something...

Ganja Man: "...I've been meaning to ask, where is James at? If he's gonna be part of The Green Team, he's gonna have to start joining in on our prematch ritual, right?"

Ganja Man waits for a response but before Vertigo can slip a word in:

Ganja Man: "Before I forget, I know it's been a little while but a couple weeks back, I said there was unfinished business with James Dark but you know, I can't let that get to me, I've gotta let that go. Just so you two know, if James is part of this unit, I back him 100%....but really, he's gonna have to get to the show earlier...."

[Vertigo]

-The Green Team-

He looks at Ganja and smiles.

"First of all, they won't no show. With Hefe out of commision, I am the head booker right now. So if they no-show, their attempt to take over will very quickly die. Of course it's gonna die anyways because the UCW guys all suck, but I think you hear what I'm saying.

"I'm glad you and James can put the past aside, but as far him not being here yet, maybe he has a little pre-match ritual he likes to take part in on his own. And speaking of which, we really need to start turning this into a POST-match ritual."

A ring crew guy comes up to Vertigo, "Everything's all set for tonight. Just like you asked for, boss."

V: "Thanks, man. Good job."

The crew member leaves.

Ganja: "What was that all about?"

V: "Just a little something for Lawless. Let me surprise you."

Just then Brooke's cellphone rings. Her ringtone is the same as entrance music, "Yeah" by Usher. She answers her pink phone.

B: "Hello? - Um, ok sure -

B: "Hun, it's Jericho Black for you."

She hands Vertigo the phone.

V: "You better have a good reason for calling my wife, you have my cellphone number. - Yeah, right I almost believe that, what do you want. - Yes I know he just signed. - Really - Really - That's actually a pretty good idea, you've got it."

Vertigo hangs up the phone.

G: "Now what was THAT about?"

V: "It seems a number of people have been trying to get Jericho Black as their tag-team partner, including that new kid Luke Devlin.

V: "So Jericho sugguested a little match to help him make up his mind. I'm gonna take a contract for a match, Team MWA against Jericho Black and blank spot. I'm gonna take that contract and hang it above the ring and have a little ladder match, the winner writes in his name and fights as Jericho's partner."

B: "Jericho came up with that?"

V: "Well he didn't exactly say a ladder match, but why would we want Jericho's partner to be in peak form when they team together, immediately following the ladder match."

G: "You can be cruel when you want to be. So who is Devlin facing? I can't think of anyone who would want to team with Jericho."

V: "It's going to be Luke Devlin vs EFF Dash."

B: "Dash? Maybe he can figure out why Jericho's so f'd in the head. I'm rooting for him here."

V: "Remember what Dash did to Fromunda? He might just mess up Jericho's head even further just to see what happens. But that might be fun ...."

B: "By the way. Remember what I did to Fromunda? He's out with a broken arm because of me. I think I deserve a match tonight."

V: "You got it, now let's get out of here before we talk to much in public."

[Devlin]

-Prematch Promo-

The camera sweeps over to a dank, dark and dusty area backstage- the boiler room. There is no one to be seen around, and all that is present is a single ladder, stood erect in a corner of the boiler room. Then a voice is heard, whispering, "over here". The camera sweeps back around and then up to see the "Risen Dragon" Luke Devlin, dressed in ring attire, perched on top of a boiler. He jumps down from the boiler, and walks slowly over to the ladder, an eerie grimace on his face. Then, he speaks.

"Vertigo", he whispers softly. "I see that my partnership with Black is to be decided in a ladder match." He pauses, and oddly, begins to caress the ladder, looking up at it. "Ladders. You see, the buisness- no, no, no- life is like a ladder. You climb up, slowly at times, rung by rung, until you get to the top. Of course, someone can always come along, and knock you off". And with that, Devlin swings the ladder to the ground with a crash, and laughs. "But you see, I'm aware of this. And I'm aware that my opponent is to be EFF Dash. Well, Dash, you have had your chance to shine many times before. But tonight, it is you who will be knocked down. Because I will rise up". Devlin stands the ladder back up, and climbs it slowly. "I will take it rung... by rung... until I get to the top. And then, I will take it". Devlin makes a motion of grabbing something from the air. "As for you, Dash..." He continues to laugh deeply. "... I will bring you crashing down". And with that, The Risen Dragon leaps from the ladder and hurls it at the camera, as he disappears into the darkness.

[Vertigo]

-Brooke Sage-

Brooke is shown walking down a hallway backstage until she passes an open doorway. She pauses and leans back to peer inside, giving the cameraman a perfect ass-shot in her mini-skirt.

She creeps slowly and quietly into the room gently picking up a chair. The camera pans in and shows Ryan Kilst sleeping on a couch. Brooke creeps up next to him and raises the chair, about to smash him when she stops. An evil smirk crosses her face and she pulls out her makeup bag quickly does up his face.

Brooke slips quietly out of the room and gathers together a number of the backstage crew outside the door. She then walks back up to the couch and bends down close to Ryan's ear.

"FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!"

Ryan wakes up in a panic and bolts upright, Brooke grabs him by the arm.

"THE BUILDING'S ON FIRE! WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!"

Still confused from having just woken up Kilst allows her to pull him into the hallway where all of the crew burst out laughing. Brooke lets go of his arm and backs behind a few large ring crew guys.

Kilst is now more confused than before as Brooke holds up a mirror in front of him. Comprehension crosses Ryan's face and he starts right at Brooke but is held back by security.

"Ryan, you want to get back at me, fight me tonight. Maybe after you tap out to a woman, you'll realize this is the way you should look."

Ryan is seething with rage and trying to get through the security but they keep him held back. "Your dead you bitch! I'm gonna friggin' destroy you!"

Brooke hold the mirror up as she backs away and blows him a kiss. "See you in the ring tonight girlfriend."

She can't seem to stop laughing as she walks away, very proud of herself, yet completely clueless to the fact that Ryan Kilst may very well seriously injure her for what she's done.

[Vertigo]

-Vertigo-

Vertigo is backstage and walks up to a locker room door. It's covered in what looks like spraypaint, no design just a mess.

"He better f'n clean that up."

Vertigo opens the door and walks in, Demento and El Hijo Del Perra hop to their feet.

V: "Easy guys, I'm not here for a fight"
E: "Maybe the choice isn't yours ese..."

V: "Well I was gonna give you guys another shot as a tag-team, but since you don't seem interested...
D: "Shut up Perra, we need this, if we don't wrestle we don't get paid. What are you thinking Vertigo?"

Demento looks at Vertigo very suspicious.

V: "Well, you are two of the first stars of the MWA, so I was going to put you guys in a tag match, but I figure since Perra ruined the door and I have to pay to have it fixed, Demento you'll be facing Johnny Knockout. And Perra, you'll be facing The NMHC Heavyweight Champion, "The Liftor" John Curry."

V: "Maybe next time you'll listen to what I have to say, before you open your mouth."

Vertigo walks out of the room and slams the door.

Harry Fate

*backstage, next to the drink machine*

Harry: "Ted..."

Ted: "Yeah?"

Harry: "Have you noticed that Juan Hefe is still missing?"

Ted; "Now that you mention it he is missing!"

Ted starts running in circles, and Harry slaps him in the face.

Harry: "Calm down... Hm... Rich is missing too, have you seen him?"

Ted: "Uh.... NOOOO!"

Ted starts running in circles again

Harry: "Ted..."

[MetaSylo]

somewhere

Dash catches up with Jericho Black.

Dash: "Yo Black. Seems youre a popular guy when it comes to tag teaming. I just learned about the new guy, Devlin, asking you to team up. Gotta say, kid doesnt waste time. Seems like he'd make a nice addition to a team of you and me...but I suppose thats for another time. So, what kinda match is it gonna be?"

Black: "A ladder match I hear."

Dash: "Son...of...a...ugh...ya see, Im acrophobic*...but alas, I'll try to put that aside for the sake of the match. Hmm...well, you coming out there to watch, or staying back here?"

Black: "We'll see."

Dash: "...iight man. I'm going to go get ready. Oh...hey, remember what we talked about at the bar...later."

Attendance: 5,672

This week's show comes to you LIVE from Mile-One Stadium in St-John's, Newfoundland.

Johnny Knockout vs "Dastardly" Damien Demento
Vertigo set up this match as some form of punishment for Demento not showing the proper respect when speaking with Vertigo. Both men gave it everything, with Demento locking in the Bionic Facelift on three occassions, but Knockout was able to reach the ropes every time. Eventually, Demento went down the way so many have fallen to Johnny, the Knockout Lariat.

Here is your winner via pinfall @ 4:43, Johnny Knockout!

"Flame Enforcer" Ryan Kilst vs "Beautiful" Brooke Sage
Looking for some serious revenge on Brooke for her prank earlier in the night, Kilst was relentless. Brooke stuck to her game plan however, working over Kilst's arms. Ryan however, utilized his arsenal of strong kicks to gain the momentum, finishing her off with the Superbomb from the top-rope.

Here is your winner via pinfall @ 6:27, "Flame Enforcer", Ryan Kilst![/b]

"Stillborn" by Black Label Society hits and Jericho Black makes his way to ringside. He hands the clipboard with the contract on it to a ring attendant who attaches it to a cable that is raised above the ring. Jericho looks up at it before grabbing a chair to watch the match.

EFF Dash vs "Risen Dragon" Luke Devlin
Ladder Match
The winner of this match would then team with Jericho Black to face Team MWA. Both men had asked Jericho to team with them so this was the only logical solution. Sheer brutality is the only way to describe this contest. Devlin brought his A-Game to his debut match and EFF Dash didn't bring much less. After a grueling contest Dash had his fingertips on the clipboard before Devlin dropkicked the ladder out from under him. Setting the ladder back up quickly The Risen Dragon climbed the ladder and grabbed the contract.

Here is your winner @ 10:08, "Risen Dragon" Luke Devlin!

Immediately following the match, it was not Devlin's music but Team MWA's that came over the speakers. Jericho Black rolls into the ring and pats Devlin on the shoulder. Devlin is obviously very winded from his previous match.

Jericho Black & "Risen Dragon" Luke Devlin vs Ted Tsavales & Harry Fate (Team MWA)
Despite his previous match, Devlin showed tremendous heart not giving up to the far more experienced tag-team of Team MWA. The Risen Dragon even slammed Ted Tsavales with The Dragon's Wingbeat for a two-count. Jericho Black nailed Harry with The Black List Blast, but neglected to go for a cover. As the match wore on, the experience edge was the difference. Jericho got the Chi-Town Beatdown and The Jacknife Powerbomb. Ted kept Devlin busy on the outside so Harry could pin The Bruiserweight.

Here are your winners via pinfall @ 8:09, Ted Tsavales & Harry Fate, Team MWA!

"Ganja Man" Matt Pierce vs "Alaskan Assassin" Sean Lonewolf
Stemming from last week's tag-team contest, Ganja Man wanted a shot at Lonewolf, 1-on-1. He wasted no time trying to make his point against the UCW loyalist. Pierce locked in the G-Lock but Lonewolf refused to tap. Lonewolf nearly decapitated Matt Pierce with the Sure Shot but the Juniorweight champ kicked out at two. Pierce hit a hand-and-arms suplex from the second rope but Lonewolf kicked out at two. The two men exchanged blows for some time both showing fatigue, until Lonewolf hit the Assassinator for the victory.

Here is your winner via pinfall @ 8:17, "The Alaskan Assassin" Sean Lonewolf!

"The Liftor" John Curry vs El Hijo Del Perra
The reigning NMHC Heavyweight Champion wasted little time attacking the insane luchadore, but El Hijo Del Perra countered move after move and stole a page out of The Liftor's playbook, hitting a Tazplex for the upset victory.

Here is your winner via pinfall @ 2:43 El Hijo Del Perra!

"Dark Angel" James Dark (c) vs Raven
MWA United States Championship Match
Raven's Rules
The man from the bowery took advantage of his own stipulation early grabbing a stop sign from under the ring and smashing the champ with it. James was unfaised and hit Raven with a brutal german suplex. Raven came back with an Evenflow DDT on the arena floor but Dark kicked out at two. Eventually back in the ring it was the Dark Finisher onto the stop sign that retained the belt for James.

Here is your winner via pinfall @ 8:53 and STILL MWA United States Champion, "Dark Angel" James Dark!

"Last" by Nine Inch Nails hits and Vertigo comes to the ring. He high fives James as they pass in the entryway.

"Seth Lawless! Tonight you will learn why you don't mess with me. So tonight we will face off in a match that I have never lost, A STEEL CAGE!"

Vertigo vs "The Regulator" Seth Lawless
Steel Cage Match
Vertigo has been saying all week that he was going to brutalize and torture Lawless this week. It was all a smokescreen as Vertigo's goal was to win the match and humilate the Regulator. He did just that setting a new mark for the fastest match in the history of the MWA.

Here is winner @ 38 seconds, Vertigo!

-Johnny Knockout-

Johnny celebrates his victory in the ring over Damien, and eventually leaves the ring.

-Harry Fate-

*backstage, after the tag team match*

"Oh yeah!"

Ted: "We beat them up, real good!"

Harry: "Yeah! That was really easy, as always"

Ted: "Let's party"

Harry: "Yeah! And look there's some hot chicks over there!"

Ted: "Whoo hoo!"

[MetaSylo]

outside the ring during Team MWA vs Black/Devlin

Dash is on the floor during the entire thing saying only, "...so close...so close...so HIGH...so close..."

[Ganja Man]

Pierce, who is visibly upset over the loss to Sean Lonewolf, nabs a mic before making his way towards the ramp....

Ganja Man: "LONEWOLF!!! You may have defeated me here, right now...you may have won the battle, but The War has only JUST begun!!! You UCW guys may have a win over the MWA but there is no way in hell we're letting you guys take over....NO WAY IN HELL!!!"

Ganja Man throws down the mic and we see Lonewolf sporting a grin, glaring back at 1/4 of The Green Team as he exits the ring area...
