[Ganja Man]

Vertigo is seen in The Green Team locker room going over "the card" for tonights show when Ganja Man walks through the door, looking blunted. Vertigo looks up from what he's doing as Matt walks over towards him...

Ganja Man: "Just the man I wanted to see... and I'm glad you're here, I have a request. You see, last week, Jacob Black accused me of doing something I had nothing to do with, and I want a match to put him in his place."

Vertigo seems interested but doesn't speak up as Ganja Man continues.

Ganja Man: "But this won't be just any match, because last week, Jacob said something about James and I watching out because they're coming for our Tag Team Titles - Well, I wanted to bring the fight to them. Jacob says they want a shot at the titles, well, if he can beat me, why not give them the chance? I'm willing to put a title shot on the line - Even if he does manage to beat me, James and I aren't thinking about losing anytime soon... So, what do you say? Make the match?"

Ganja Man then awaits an answer from Vertigo

[MetaSylo]

The segment opens inside of the lockeroom of "The Flame Enforcer" Ryan Klist...who is gaining consciousness. Standing over him is none other than...



...Mike Rphon. The camera and sound team are both in position and signal to Mike that they are live.

"This is Mike Rphon, the MWA's OFFICIAL backstage interviewer. I came to talk to Ryan Klist about the disrespect he was shown by Christohper Jericho on the Highlight Reel on Delerium. However, he wasnt in a state to talk.." says Mike as he lets out a small laugh.

At this point, Ryan regains full consciousness and tries to get to his feet. Mike takes this opportunity to ask him some questions...

M: "Mr. Klist, can you tell us what happened?"
K: **stare** "Ugh...you came in here and beat me up."
-Mike's eyes grow big and he begins to stammer-
K: "That was a joke comrad."
M: "...ohhh...wooo...right. Well...I didnt think you could joke. Honestly...I didnt even think you could talk."
K: "Well, I can. And someone had better explain why I woke up with a headache and to you standing over me."
M: "Yes. Thats kinda what I asked you."
K: "Right. Well, I really dont remember much. I was reading my Korean Pamphlet and..."

At this point Klist notices it missing. He begins to search the room for it. Mike and the camera/sound crew exchange glances and shrug thier shoulders. Klist comes back into frame holding a mask...but not just any mask...its the mask of...

K: "Jericho Black!"
M: "Oh?"
K: "Yes, this mask belongs to that degenerate Jericho Black. Hm...I seem to have many problems with these fellows named Jericho. Bah, lowlifes."
M: "So...what will you do Mr. Klist?"
K: "I shall go confront Black. For that is what real men do."

At this point, Klist leaves his room in search of Jericho Black. Mike and crew follow.

Klist finds The Blacks as they enter the arena. Jacob says he has to go to the bathroom, leaving Jericho alone. Jericho is in a makeshift mask. Klist steps in front of him.

J: "Yeah? Whats with you?"
K: "Here!"
-Klist shoves Jericho's mask into his chest-
K: "You have just bought yourself a match with me comrad. See you then."

Klist then turns around and heads back. Jericho is left completely confused. Jacob comes back and sees the mask as asks his brother, "Hey, whered you get your mask?" Jericho, still confused, says, "Uh...Kli...uh...nevermind, doesnt matter. I need to go suit up."

On the way back to his room, Klist runs into another kind of Jericho, the Chris variety. Before Y2J can mutter a sound, he is given a swift punch in the mouth by Klist. Klist gives off a smile and walks into his room and shuts the door.

Mike takes this opportunity to address the camera, "Well, it looks like Ryan Klist joins the list of attacked Juniorweights. I must say, this is quite the interesting story. I wonder who's next? Reguardless, this is Mike Rphon, signing off." Mike turns, but before the camera fades it catches a sly grin on his face.

(OOC - Obviously, neither Klist nor Jericho Black are my characters, and it kinda looks like I rped them into a match. Uh, yeah sorry bout that. I couldnt think of a better conclusion for the altercation. It appears the longer this storyline goes the harder it is to write. Either way, the match doesnt have to take place if it conflict's with the actual RPer's plans.)

[Andrew Moore]

*andrew is seen wondering in the backstage area*

"No match agian?, damn boring... I know!

*Andrew walks in to Matt Hardy's locker room*

Hey Matt Seeing as you haven't got a match interested in a tag match agianst the sickness seeing as I need some Tag experince an I may aswell get some with the greatest. So what do you say?

*Andrew waits for Matt's reply*

"hey I didn't hit my head!"

*a pece of drift wood suddenly hits him in the back of the head*

"OH WHAT THE HELL!"

[Vertigo]

Matt laughs at Andrew.

"Sure kid, I'll team with you tonight. But don't expet it to be a regular thing."

Matt goes back to what he was doing.

[Vertigo]

Backstage Brooke walks up to Curry.

"Hey John, I was thinking about a match for tonight, how about we figure out who's gonna be the number one contender for my NMHC Juniorweight Championship? I don't really care who you put in the match but, we seem to have plenty of Juniorweights around lately."

Brooke looks like she's finished and then she gets a look like she remembered something.

"Oh, and Vertigo told me, to tell you, that he wants you to defend the MWA Television Championship this Tuesday on Delerium. So unless you want him to come up with your opponent, you should also determine the #1 contender to your own title. He also said feel free to be creative."

Brooke awaits a response.

[Onslaught Six]

LIFTOR leans against the wall and then takes a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket. He pulls one out, lights it, and then puts the pack back in his pocket. He puts it in his mouth, takes one puff, and then folds his arms.

"Quite frankly, I never wanted that TV title in the first place. It's...not a 'bad' title. But it seems that I won it from Raven. And that's not what these problems I've been having with him are about. No...The problems I have with Raven stem much deeper than titles and championship belts. So I think I'm gonna vacate it. Not right now, but eventually, in time."

He stays leaning against the wall as he takes another puff on his cig. He looks at Brooke for a moment, and then takes another puff. Then he sighs.

"As for the NMHC, there's one person in all of MWA I want to see with that belt around their waist. Somebody who's worked hard for it, and worked against a lot of bullshit. Somebody who's earned the right to call themselves the owner of the No Mercy Honoured Crown of the Juniourweight division. One person."

He slowly flicks off a little ash from the end of his cigarette, and then looks at Brooke again. Brooke smiles, as she thinks he's complimenting her.

"And that person is the Risen Dragon, Luke Devlin."

The crowd cheers as LIFTOR tosses down his cig and stamps it out, and then turns and leaves as Brooke stands speechless.

[Vertigo]

The lights dim and then a huge goute of green fire shoots up from the stage. "Last" by Nine Inch Nails comes on as the smoke clears and Vertigo walks to the ring, the NMHC Heavyweight Championship slung over his shoulder.

He makes his way down to the ring and grabs a mic from the timekeeper. He climbs the ring steps and pauses before entering the ring, holding the NMHC Heavyweight Championship up high with one arm. He steps between the second and third ropes and into the ring. After posing on the turnbuckle and holding up his title again, he signals for the music to stop and raises the mic to his mouth.

"Since I announced my title defense tonight, I've heard many things from many different people. 'Why would you put up the title in a three-way?', 'Are you caving to the Cureman's demands?', and my favorite of course is, 'What exactly are you planning?'."

"Well first of all I am not caving in to demands. The Cureman is getting a rematch because I feel like giving him one. I also feel like Revolution is deserving of another shot. So why not fight them both at once."

The crowd cheers more for the match that they are expecting as opposed to Vertigo.

"I am the NMHC Heavyweight Champion. I am the most decorated athlete in the history of the MWA. I don't care if I have one opponent, or two, or six, it doesn't matter because I am the champion. Every victory cements my legacy. Every opponent I crush with the Balefire Bomb is just another notch on my belt.

"And it is for that very reason that I feel like making this match-up a little more interesting. It will be a Falls Count Anywhere Match."

The crowd pops at the announcement.

"That's right, we might actually end up fighting out in the arena somewhere surrounded by you fans. Let it never be said that Vertigo doesn't make sacrifices for the fans.

"Do you people really think that I want to be fighting out there with you people. The stench alone could gag a pig. And then of course there's the fact that I've never been in an arena that had a clean floor. You punks don't even have enough respect for each other to throw away your trash. And it doesn't take much effort to not spill your drinks everywhere."

The crowd is now booing like crazy as Vertigo insults them.

"So it will give me great pleasure to debase myself in an effort to deny you fans the chance to see a LIVE title change. It isn't going to happen.

"I stand before you all right now as the NMHC Heavyweight Champion! When I leave the arena tonight, I will STILL be the NMHC Heavyweight Champion! So if Cureman or Revolution has a problem with that, and wants things to turn out differently, then you better bring your A-Game. Because what each of you showed me last time we fought, won't get it done.

"Now let's keep this show moving, I believe these people are all waiting to be disappointed in a title match."

Vertigo slides the mic out of the ring in the direction of the timekeeper. He then starts stretching using the ropes while awaiting his opponents.

[MetaSylo]

- lockeroom following Vertigo's promo

Fromunda is seen playing with the official wrestling figures of The MWA: Vertigo (complete with a mini replica MWA NMHC Heavyweight Championship) and Luke Devlin (complete with the ability to disappear when rubbed with ice). During the promo, Fromunda is battling with the figures inside of the replica MWA ring, where the Vertigo is beating the Devlin. However, as the promo finishes, Fromunda has stopped playing. The look on his face can only be described as shock.

He thinks, "V''igo mean...you no win no more!" and he bits the head off of the figurine! He goes to the the bathroom and flushes it down the toilet as well! He then sits back down and pulls out a Knockout figure (complete with real time lariot action) and continues his 'match' between Devlin and Knockout, all the while chewing on Vertigo's head...

[Devlin]

The lights go out in the arena, "So Cold" by Breaking Benjamin hits, and the crowd scream as they know what comes next. The music gets into full swing, and Devlin comes down onto the ramp as the lights are replaced by flickers of blue, and Devlin does his Hardyz taunt at the top of the ramp, before throwing his towel that once covered his head into the audience.

He makes his way down to the ring and takes a microphone from the ring announcer, and as per usual, Devlin leans on the top rope as he speaks.

"So, John, you would like to see me with the NMHC Juniorweight title around my waist? Well, who knows, that may happen.
"Brooke, when I offered my hand to you, and you turned it away and slapped my face, you stirred the Dragon, that was about to lie down. So, I sunk you with the Tombstone Dragon Driver.
"Where I come from, my actions toward you were justified. And this little rivalry isn't over yet. It's one a piece, Brooke. It's time to settle this score.
"So John, I would like to request that a match be made for the title... a 15...minute...Iron...Man...match." The crowd pops considerably. "...For the NMHC Juniorweight Championship. Me vs. Brooke Sage. John, what is your answer?"

[Vertigo]

The Sickness vs Andrew Moore & Matt Hardy

[/size][/b]

Andrew Moore used this opportunity to team up with one of his heroes, Matt Hardy, to take on the new team of The Sickness.

The Sickness controlled much of the match hitting basic moves such as suplexes, snap mares and scoop slams. Syndrome hit the big move with an inverted suplex.

Narkotic Nick slammed Moore into the corner while Syndrome kept Hardy occupied. Nick hit The Vaccination on Andrew to lock up the victory.

Here are your winners via pinfall @ 3:59

"Flame Enforcer" Ryan Kilst vs Jericho Black

[/size][/b]

This match-up came about when Jericho's mask was found in Kilst's things. Although Kilst denies taking it and likely did not take it, Jericho is not one to listen to reason.

Jericho caught Kilst with a big clothesline and then a swinging neck breaker to get moving and then a standing moonsault on a prone Kilst. Ryan didn't stay down, however and caught Jericho with a springboard moonsault.

As the match went on both men took each other out with a double clothesline that brought the crowd to it's feet cheering both men back up. Kilst hit a side slam on Black as they regained their footing.

Ryan lifted Jericho back up and hoisted him into the air and back down on his face with The Enforcer for the victory.

Here is your winner via pinfall @ 7:48
"Flame Enforcer" Ryan Kilst!

"Ganja Man" Matt Pierce vs Jacob Black

[/size][/b]

Pierce made this challenge to Jacob that if he defeats him then The Blacks will recieve a match for the NMHC Tag-Team Championship. Jacob readily accepted.

Jacob deismantled Pierce starting off strong with a forearm into Matt face and then a clothesline. Perhaps to help make his point, Jacob locked in a choke hold on The Ganja Man and then held up his arms claiming he didn't do anything wrong. Jacob then pounded his chest to show his authority.

Jacob lifted Matt to his feet and slammed him headfirst into the mat with The Blackout for the victory, securing a title match for him and his brother.

Here is your winner via pinfall @ 1:50
Jacob Black!

NMHC Juniorweight Championship
Fifteen Minute Iron Man Match
"Risen Dragon" Luke Devlin vs "Beautiful" Brooke Sage (c)

[/size][/b]

This match was made by The Liftor and adjusted by Devlin. These two have fought a great deal recently and it was just last week that Brooke defeated Devlin in a Ladder Match, his specialty to win the NMHC Juniorweight Championship from him.

Brooke started with her usual assortment of arm bars before Devlin clocked her with a big clothesline. Devlin then pulled off a springboard moonsault as she was running towards him to stifle any momentum she had gained.

Devlin capitalized with the Tombstone Dragon Driver for a three-count, putting him up 1 - 0. After that he caught her with a flying clothesline from the top rope but only recieved a two-count.

Devlin knew his advantage was small so he kept the pressure up hitting a sick german suplex on Brooke. As she stagger to her feet possibly with a concussion, Devlin climbed the turnbuckle and came off the top with the Dragon rana for the pin giving him a 2 - 0 advantage. The clock ran out without the score changing giving Devlin an unprecidented third NMHC Juniorweight Championship reign.

Here is your winner 2 - 0
and NEW
NMHC Juniorweight Champion
"Risen Dragon" Luke Devlin!

NMHC Heavyweight Championship
Falls Count Anywhere Match
Chris Revolution vs The Cureman vs Vertigo (c)

[/size][/b]

Vertigo made this match himself to "kill two birds with one stone". Both challengers would have a better than average chance to win seeing as Vertigo does not need to be pinned in order to lose the title.

Cureman took down Revolution early and hit a big knee drop from the top rope while Vertigo just stood there. Vertigo struck with a swinging neck breaker on Revolution. Cureman then snuck in and hit The Stunner on Revolution. Chris was quick to respond and hit a fold-up powerbomb on Vertigo.

Chris came back and hit a dragon suplex on Vertigo. Cureman got in on the action hitting Revolution with a tiger suplex. He did not let up and nailed Vertigo with The Impaler. Vertigo & Revoution teamed up hitting a simultaneous senton and forearm drop.

Cureman got in a lucky shot on Revolution who was left stunned on his feet. Vertigo, ever the opportunist, rolled up Cureman from behind with a school boy, complete with a hand full of tights and got the victory, retaining the NMHC Heavyweight Championship.

Here is your winner via pinfall @ 23:30
and STILL
NMHC Heavyweight Champion
Vertigo!

[Devlin]

As "So Cold" plays and the referee drapes the NMHC over his shoulder, Devlin drops slowly to one knee, and then to both. He stares at the mat as the fans continue to cheer, contemplating his accomplishment, and then raises his arms up and outwards in celebration, roaring victoriously as the great Dragon that he aspires to be, arms outstretched like its magnificent wings.

The lights go out, and are replaced by the familiar blue blinker, faintly illuminating Devlin like moonlight. As Brooke Sage stands outside the ring, backing up the ramp with her mouth gaping in disbelief, as well as gasping for air, a huge blue blast ball seemingly rises up from where Devlin kneels, and the lights return, the Risen Dragon once again disappearing from sight.

[Xander]

The Cureman gets up after being pinned by Vertigo.
For some reason he smiles as he gets by the celebrating Vertigo and frustrated Revolution.
He jumps out of the ring but does no go up the ramp. Instead he gets over the fence and into the crowd and out of the arena...

[Andrew Moore]

Andrew gets up, holding his head, trying to apologise to Matt for losing the match

"I'm sorry Matt, I'M SORRY!"

[Ganja Man]

After the "match" with Jacob Black, Pierce, grabs a mic, and adresses the victor...

Ganja Man: "Perhaps I underestimated what you were capable of... but that's not important anymore, you won the match, fair and square. You earned the title opportunity against James Dark and Myself and you'll get it... I don't want to think I bit off more than I can chew, but come the Title Match, I'll prove that tonight's so called wrestling contest was nothing more than a fluke. Dark and I will retain our titles and that's all there is to it... but good luck, although, I'm sure you don't think you need it."

Afterwards, Pierce drops the mic and makes his way to the back, probably looking to take part in a little post-match session...
