[Devlin]

Luke Devlin is seen stood outside Vertigo's office door. He pauses for a moment, and knocks on the door. He hears Vertigo's voice beckon him in, and he slowly steps into the office.

Vertigo stands and clenches his fists. "Okay, what the hell do you want, Devlin?" Vertigo snaps, looking cautious.
"Easy, V, easy". Devlin holds up his hands in a motion of surrender, and slowly steps up to Vertigo's desk. "Now I know you and I haven't always been friends as such, but I respect you for what you have accomplished. But, I'm here on business. I'm here to request a match."

Vertigo sits again. "Well, what would you like?" Devlin leans on the desk.
"I've noticed I'm not booked tonight. This bugs me. I'm thinking perhaps that there's something I'm doing something wrong. So, tonight, I'd like to request one more chance to become NMHC Juniorweight Champion. I know that Brooke beat me for the shot recently, but I know I can do it. And I can do it the right way. What do you say?"

[Vertigo]

Vertigo looks at Devlin with a confused look on his face then sighs.

"Look, Brooke earned her shot at the NMHC Juniorweight Championship tonight. If I were to insert you into that match it would destroy the credibility of even having #1 contender matches.

"But I'll tell you what I'll do. I'll put you in a #1 contender match for the NMHC Juniorweight Championship. It'll be you against Fromunda against El Hijo Del Perra in a three way dance. So this way your fate is back in your own hands.

"Now is there anything else?"

[Devlin]

"Is there anything else?" Vertigo asks.

"Yeah, remember to keep your wife on her leash. She's rather snappy around men in particular." Devlin smiles as Vertigo bears the exact opposite expression. "Thanks for the match, V, baby." And with that, Devlin walks out of the office, Vertigo staring after him.

[Vertigo]

The screen flickers to static for a moment then comes back on in black & white as "Fire it Up" by Black Label Society comes on. The Blacks make their way out to the ring.

Jacob grabs a pair of steel chairs and tosses them into the ring. Both men climb into the ring and play to the packed Garden drawing heavy boos. Jericho grabs a mic as the screen flickers back to color.

"Tonight we get get our shot at the NMHC Tag-Team Championship. We will exact our revenge for what Team MWA did to us on Delerium. I refuse to be outsmarted by a halfwit."

Jericho hands the mic to Jacob and starts talking crab a fan in the front row wearing a Team MWA t-shirt.

"The Bruins suck! The Celtics suck! The Red Sox suck! The Patriots suck! Boston sucks!"

The crowd is in an absolute uproar as Jacob's attempt at cheap heat is very successful.

"I wish we could beat the hell out of every athlete that plays here and make the worst sports fans in the world watch every one of their heroes get what they rightfully deserve.

"What you people are looking at right now are the two greatest athletes to ever grace this god forsaken patch of filth you call a city. Jericho, give me that bag."

Jericho rolls out of the ring and reaches under it grabbing a brown paper grocery bag and a trash can. He tosses the can into the ring and rolls in with the bag as Jacob sets up the garbage can.

"If you fans will direct your gaze upward maybe you'll notice that something is missing from your rafters. That's right, we've got your last Bruins championship banner right here."

Jacob pulls it out of the paper bag and shows it to the crowd. He's about to toss it in the trash can when Team MWA's music hits to a thunderous ovation that practically knocks the Blacks over.

...

[Onslaught Six]

Ryan Kilst is backstage, meditating quietly in his locker room.

He then slowly opens his eyes and looks to his left. The NMHC Juniourweight Championship lays there.

He slowly picks it up and looks down at it for a moment. This title is what he works for--and tonight, he will go out and defend it against Vertigo's wife.

He slides the title around his arm and onto his shoulder and stands up as he prepares for his match.

-Harry Fate-

Harry: "Hey suckers!"

The crowd start cheering loudly as Team MWA start walking down the ramp.

Ted: "Since we control the MWA security, we going to have them outside of the ring, to stop you guys from doing anything cheap"

Suddenly MWA security start coming out from everywhere, from the entrance ramp, from the crowd, eventually surrounding the ring.

Harry: "Alright, let's get this party started!"

And with that Team MWA run towards the ring

[MetaSylo]

- lockeroom

Fromunda is sitting in his lockeroom looking at the inside of his gym bag. It appears as if Fromunda is sniffing, as if he had been crying. The camera pans and its revealed whats inside the bag: the remains of his fat suit. He says softly, "...me...?..." He wipes his eyes and blows his nose and closes the bag. He says, "No." He gets up and goes to find Brooke to see what she'd like him to do tonight.

[Vertigo]

Vertigo & Brooke are walking down the hallway together. Fromunda catches up to them and asks Brooke, "What want tonight?"

"Well, why don't you start by winning your match, I believe you are up first so head on out there."

Fromunda turns and takes off.

Vertigo & Brooke continue to walk until they reach the locker room they were trying to find. Vertigo knocks and then walks in. Chris Revolution is standing there.

"Chris, I just wanted to let you know, I'm booking you tonight against Demento. Good luck."

Vertigo & Brooke turn and walk away.

[Vertigo]

There are 19,001 in attendance tonight.

The opening pyro goes off signalling the start of the show and "Rock You Like a Hurricane" by The Scorpions comes on. Fromunda walks out for the first time without the fat suit for the opening contest.

Chris Revolution vs "Dastardly" Damien Demento

Revolution came at Demento early but had his efforts thwarted by Demento's reversal skills. Demento taunted Revolution in and then took control of the match. Demento busted open Chris with a headbutt reversal but then was taken down by an armbar while going for a clothesline.

After a few more minutes of back and forth action Demento had the match well in hand. When Chris hit the Revolution Cutter out of nowhere to end the battle.

"Come Out and Play" by The Offspring bursts through the speakers and Raven walks out with the MWA Television Championship draped over his shoulder.

MWA Television Championship
The Cureman vs Raven (c)

Cureman hoped to have an advantage after playing mindgames with Raven, but apparently didn't realize that Raven is a master of those same tactics. So it turned out to be pretty even match. Cureman managed a big rin-ne while Raven hit devastating powerslam.

Raven looked to go for the Raven Effect DDT but Cureman spun him into the Impaler, capturing the MWA Television Championship.

The Blacks came out strong hitting a tossing cutter followed by a top-rope moonsault by Jericho on Harry. Jericho hit the Fall From Grace on Ted but only recieved a two-count.

Team MWA regained control hitting a double-team powerbomb on Jacob. Ted took control of Jericho hitting a super shoulder breaker followed by a big pump handle slam. Harry took Jacob down to the mat with the Diamond Dust.

Team MWA pinned The Blacks in unison to a deafening roar from the Boston fans, who continued to give them a standing ovation until they finnally made their way out of the arena.

Brooke made her move locking in a fujiwara arm bar. Kilst made it to the ropes but his arm was visibly hurt.

As Brooke attempted to finish off the match, Kilst blocked out the pain and seemed to have a preternatural ability to reverse Brooke's attacks. As Brooke was rocked by Kilst he threw her into the turnbuckle and hit the Superbomb the retain the title.

*BOOM*

The green fire erupts and "Last" by Nine Inch Nails comes on signaling the arrival of the challenger and hometown boy, Vertigo.

"Are you ready..."

The DX theme by Run DMC comes on and the champion makes his way to the ring for this decisive match against his rival who streches all the way back to the SWF.

NMHC Heavyweight Championship
Best of Seven Series - Match Seven
One Fall to a Finish
Vertigo vs "The Liftor" John Curry
Series tied at three each

The match started off quickly and looked like it would end just like tuesday's match. Liftor quickly hit a backbreaker and then the Tazplex but this time Vertigo kicked out.

As the crowd began to get behind Vertigo he pulled off a t-bone suplex just after the kickout. While Curry was stunned Vertigo rolled out of the ring and grabbed the NMHC Heavyweight Championship, tossing it into the ring. Curry came at him but got caught with a swinging neckbreaker.

Vertigo quickly busted Liftor open with the title belt and tossed it out of his way. He knelt beside Liftor and grabbed him by the sides of the head screaming something unintelligable at his bloodied opponent. Vertigo then made his way to the top-rope and hit a sky-high missile dropkick on the champ, flooring him.

Curry kicked out of the cover however. Liftor went for his big wind-up punch but Vertigo caught his fist. The crowd went nuts as Vertigo tucked Curry down and hosited him up spinning around as he dropped the Balefire Bomb onto the NMHC Heavyweight Championship Belt. It seemed the entire city of Boston counted along with the ref as Vertigo scored the victory.

After the match fireworks are going off as thr confetti rains down from the rafters. Vertigo poses on each turnbuckle with his new championship belt before heading into the crowd to continue his celebration.

He eventually makes his way back into the ring and helps Curry to his feet. The Green Team have made their way to the ring are waiting outside.

As he gets Curry up he offers his hand to his greatest rival.

[Undamaged Threat]

After the Dark/Knockout

James gets up slowly holding his neck and sees Knockout with the US Title, he walks up to him and he offers his hand to the new Champion.

during Vertigo title win celebration

Brooke, Ganja Man are at ringside aswell as James, Brooke, Ganja Man have big smiles on the faces but not James, he goes to the steps and just sits holding his head down like he sad that he lost a title that he been fighting to keep around his wrist, he then looks at Vertigo holding the MWA Belt and James starts to clap for him still being sad.

[MetaSylo]

occ
that was freaking AMAZING to read. Im loving the new format. The pics really make it come alive.

- backstage

Fromunda is jumping around like a madman in the back hugging everyone in sight as he celebrates his first win minus the fat suit. He finds Brooke after her match and proceeds to do many a pelvic thrust in her direction. He exclaims, "Me won! Me won! Me won! You no win, me yes!! Me won!" Brooke looks anything but happy as he rubs it in her face that she lost her match, until she realizes he is #1 contender. If he were to beat Klist, there is a good possibility she could make him hand the title over to her. I mean, hell, he took off the fat suit...what wouldnt he do for her? She says to Fromunda, "'munda dear..."

[Vertigo]

"...'munda. You did great tonight. I'm very proud of you. But we still have some more work to do before you're ready for Kilst."[/color]

As she talks to his she runs her hand down his chest. Just then a commotion can be heard coming down the hall. Brooke turn and sees the Green Team walking in their direction.

"Look 'munda, I can't talk right now. We're a little busy as you can see. I'll tell you what. We'll talk more on Delerium. Until then, I want you to step up your training."[/color]

The Green Team arrives and Vertigo wraps his arm around Brooke's waist and they start to head off.

[Xander]

Cureman is celebrating his newly won TV-title as Raven slowly gets up.
Suddenly Cureman gets a crazed look on his face as he drops the title on the mat and goes for The Impaler to drop Ravens head into the belt.
But just before he executes the move he changes his mind and just trows Raven outside the ring and runs backstage...

[Devlin]

{After his match}

Devlin sits in the ring, pondering. As the crowd begin to stomp their feet, Devlin slowly stands up, and takes a microphone from the ring announcer. He leans on the ropes, and looks around at the packed TD Banknorth Garden. The crowd wait for a while for Devlin to say something, and then, The Risen Dragon speaks.

"First of all, I'd like to congratulate Fromunda. He's been through some hard times. And mentioning no names in particular, he's being manipulated. But I will say no more.
"Tonight, I blew it. Again. I blew it when I first came to this company. So I had the Juniorweight title for a week. Hooray. But I didn't go about it the right way. So I'll tell you what I'm going to do.
"I need to get myself sorted out. I need to wake up. So, I'm going to be leaving for a little while. I don't know when I'll be back, but I will return. At the moment, I'm the Fallen Dragon. I haven't amounted to a whole lot. But that will change. And with that, I bid you all farewell." And with that, the lights go out momentarily. When they return, The Risen Dragon, Luke Devlin, is nowhere to be seen, as his music hits.

[snesmaster40]

-Harry Fate-

Harry Fate and Ted Tsavales are backstage in the MWA security lounge, celebrating their victory with the rest of the MWA security.

Harry: "Oh yeah, we showed them who's boss"

Ted: "Yeah, they thought they were going to steal our precious belts"

Random security member #1: "Great work boss"

And with that Team MWA and the MWA security continue to party.

[snesmaster40]

-Johnny Knockout-

*in the ring*

Johnny looks up after getting the three count, he sees the crowd cheering loudly and chanting his name, the referee holds up Johnny's hand and then hands him the belt. Johnny then offers a hand shake to James Dark, and then goes up to the turnbuckle to show the MWA crowd his newest belt.

[Onslaught Six]

LIFTOR looks at Vertigo for a moment. He then looks at the NMHC Heavyweight Championship.

He grabs Vertigo's hand and shakes it, and then pulls him close, looking right in Vertigo's eyes.

"You take care of that big shiny belt, V. And don't go losing it to anybody else in the meantime--because when I want it back, I want to kick your ass for it."
