AIRED: Feb. 10, 2010
PPV: Destrucity II

GHEORGHE:  "Up next we have the triple threat match … to determine a #1 contender for the Television Championship!"

JIVE:  "Finally Mr. Entertainment will get his chance to win back the championship that is rightfully his!"

GHEORGHE:  "Mr. Entertainment brought stability to a championship that had a rocky history … and Cameron Cruise has maintained that stability since defeating Mr. Entertainment on the first RAUCOUS since the lifting of the ban."

JULIUS:  "Cruise is a tool, though."

GHEORGHE:  "Say what you want about Cameron Cruise … but he’s successfully defended the championship against Minion and John Doe."

JIVE:  "Wow… what a record……."

GHEORGHE:  "Oh stop it!"

JULIUS:  "I’ve got my money on Steve Burke.  He’s a relative newcomer to the league, but he was dominant in his debut … and I have only heard good things about the guy."

GHEORGHE:  "Jeff Jorgenson has really picked up steam, though.  He may have been eliminated early in the Christmas Tree Lot brawl, but he came out last RAUCOUS and picked up the victory over Mr. Entertainment in a thrilling bout."

JIVE:  "Lightning struck once for Jorgenson, but tonight Mr. Feel-Good is going to be put down."

GHEORGHE:  "Let’s send this to the ring and get this match started!"

(CUTTO:  In the ring.  The lineup comes on screen.)


#1 Contender's Triple Threat for the:
Television Championship

Steve Burke vs. Jeff Jorgenson vs. Mr. Entertainment

LINKS:  "The following match is scheduled for one fall … and is a triple threat to determine a NUMBER ONE CONTENDER FOR THE TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP!  Introducing first.."

(CUEUP:  "The Ecstasy of Gold" by Ennio Morricone.  The crowd begins to jeer.)

LINKS:  "He has many homes around the globe … standing six foot one and weighing in at 230 pounds …… "MISTER …. OLD SCHOOL …. STEVE BURKE!"

(The slow build of Ennio Morricone’s "The Ecstasy of Gold" fills the building, as the crowd waits in anticipation, and a fog begins to envelop the stage. As the vocals begin, a spotlight shine down, and a robed Steve Burke appears. Slowly he begins to make his way down to the ring, as the music continues to build, Burke talks to nobody in particular.)

JULIUS:  "Look at him .. a perfect wrestling specimen!"

(Burke walks up the ring steps, wipes his feet, and climbs into the ring, where he poses for the crowd, before taking off his robe, and beginning to warm up.)

GHEORGHE:  "Burke is incredibly gifted … but he has to face two other men tonight … both of whom are just as technically sound!"

(CUEUP:  "That’s Entertainment!" by the Jam.  The crowd’s jeers become even louder.)

LINKS:  "Introducing next …. Hailing from Ashland, Oregon … he stands six feet two inches … and weighs 234 pounds…. The former New ERA of Wrestling TELEVISION CHAMPION ..... MISTER ..……… ENTERTAINMENT!"

(A lone spotlight falls on the entrance way. Once the lyrics begin, Mr Entertainment steps in the spotlight …)

JIVE:  "How can you not choose Mr. Entertainment for this match?!  He is the EPITOME of a champion!"

(Entertainment continues to the ring, his arrogance fully showing, trying his best to deliberately incite the crowd. The spotlight continues to follows him.)

GHEORGHE:  "He is an outstanding athlete … but the question will be whether or not he can put the last few matches behind him!"

(Once in the ring, he poses on two of the corners, taunting the crowd some more, before waiting in the second corner.  He stares at Burke who merely ignores him.)

LINKS:  "And finally…."

(CUEUP: "Any Way You Want It" by Journey.  The crowd POPS HUGE.)

JIVE:  "Are these people high?!"

LINKS:  "Hailing from Merrow, Connecticut… he stands five foot eight and weighs 170 pounds …… JEFF……. "GREENHORN"  …… JORGENSON!"

(Jorgensen comes charging through the curtain and begins to give the fans high fives.  The crowd pops more as Jorgenson’s energy fills the arena.  He slides underneath the bottom rope.)

GHEORGHE:  "And the crowd here in Las Vegas is absolutely in love with the "Greenhor…"

(SFX: CROWD JEERS!)

GHEORGHE:  "MR. ENTERTAINMENT FROM BEHIND AND HE JUST WALLOPED JORGENSON!"

(SFX: Bell rings.)

JULIUS:  "That’s what that punk deserves for the shit he pulled on RAUCOUS."

GHEORGHE:  "Mr. Entertainment now driving the heel of his boot into Jorgenson’s lower back …. What a cheap move attacking the upstart before the bell!"

JIVE:  "Cheap?  SMART, Gheorghe.. SMART!"

GHEORGHE:  "Entertainment obviously a poor sport .."

JIVE:  "SMART, dammit!"

JULIUS:  "Speaking of smart, here comes Burke to join in!"

GHEORGHE:  "Steve Burke now helping the former Television champion as he lays his own boots into Jorgenson!  This is ridiculous!"

JIVE:  "This is a triple threat, Gheorghe.. Jorgenson is getting the short stick … but that’s just the way it is! …. And I LOVE IT."

GHEORGHE:  "Jeff Jorgenson now being picked up off the mat by Burke … and he sends him flying into the ropes!  Jorgenson comes back … Burke catches him …. AND ENTERTAINMENT FROM BEHIND CLOTHESLINES THE ELEVATED JORGENSON!"

JULIUS:  "Who knew!  These two should go into the tag division and take the belts off those unworthy punks, Jack n’ Hoff!"

GHEORGHE:  "Mr. Entertainment grabs Jorgenson … and plants him with an inverted atomic drop … and now follows it up with a DDT!"

JIVE:  "WAIT!"

GHEORGHE:  "Steve Burke saw the opportunity … and he grabbed Entertainment as he was getting to his feet!  Steve Burke with Mr. Entertainment … AND HE NAILS THE SIDEWALK SLAM!  Burke trying to get the quick victory!  ONE ………… TWO ………….. but the former Television champion easily kicks out!"

JULIUS:  "THAT is why I chose Burke.  Entertainment might be the most electrifying guy in the ring … but Steve Burke is the smartest!"

GHEORGHE:  "Entertainment getting to his feet … he gets caught by Burke who sends him into the ropes … Burke ducks his head … AND MR. ENTERTAINMENT STOPS SHORT AND SLAMS HIM FACE FIRST INTO THE MAT!!! Mr. Entertainment with the cover …. ONE …….. TWO ….. but Burke kicks out!"

JIVE:  "Now THERE is smarts, Julius!"

JULIUS:  "Ten bucks says Burke wins this."

JIVE:  "You’re on!  Mr. Entertainment is going to wipe the floor with him."

GHEORGHE:  "What about Jorgenson?"

(Julius and Jive burst into laughter.)

GHEORGHE:  "Jeez…"

JULIUS:  "No, Gheorghe .. that was the best joke you’ve made all night!"

GHEORGHE:  "Mr. Entertainment grabbing Steve Burke … and he hooks the waist …. Entertainment trying to get the suplex .. but Burke hooks his leg!  Entertainment again … but again Burke blocks it!"

JULIUS:  "C’mon, Burke!  Bring home the bacon!"

GHEORGHE:  "Steve Burke with a shot to the gut .. and he reverses the hold!  Burke going for the suplex …. He brings Entertainment HIGH in the SKY ….. holds the vertical suplex for a few seconds …. And crashes to the mat!"

JIVE:  "Jeff Jorgenson trying to shake out the cobwebs in the corner.. if he knows what’s good for him, he’ll let the big boys wrestle."

GHEORGHE:  "Jeff Jorgenson, the rookie, has the fans’ support .. he doesn’t need yours, Nick!"

JIVE:  "Good, because he ain’t getting mine!"

GHEORGHE:  "Steve Burke now grabbing the legs of Mr. Entertainment … but Entertainment grabs onto the bottom rope!  He won’t let go!"

JULIUS:  "Well Burke’s going to make him one way or the other!"

GHEORGHE:  "Mr. Old School stops …. AND HE HOISTS ENTERTAINMENT’s LEGS INTO THE AIR AND DROPS HIM TO THE MAT!"

JIVE:  "That’s not fair!  The referee should have made Burke break the hold!"

JULIUS:  "Make your check out to ‘Dean Julius, the new Nostradamus,’ please."

GHEORGHE:  "Burke now grabbing Mr. Entertainment by the head…"

(SFX:  CROWD POPS HUGE!)

GHEORGHE:  "JORGENSON!! JEFF JORGENSON SPUN BURKE AROUND AND LEAPED IN THE AIR TAKING HIM OVER WITH THE HURRICANRANA!"

JIVE:  "Ha!"

GHEORGHE:  "Jorgenson only getting the one count … Steve Burke back to his feet and he comes after the "Greenhorn!" But Jeff Jorgenson ducks under the clothesline!  CRUCIFIX!  ONE ………. TW—NO!  Steve Burke again up …. And he comes at Jorgenson again …. AND AGAIN Jorgenson ducks!   ANOTHER CRUC…."

(SFX:  CROWD JEERS!)

GHEORGHE:  "NO!  Steve Burke with the samoan drop!!!  ONE …… TWO ….. but Jorgenson gets the shoulder up!"

JULIUS:  "Steve Burke is cleaning house in there … you’re telling me that Cameron Cruise ain’t shaking in his boots right now in the back at the thought of having to face this man…"

JIVE:  "Please, Cameron Cruise is probably sitting in a corner sucking his thumb right now because Problem Child cost him the World Tag Team championship!"

JULIUS:  "Well … aside from that!"

GHEORGHE:  "Burke up …. And he meets Mr. Entertainment in the middle of the ring!  Burke and Entertainment exchanging blows in the center of the ring!"

JIVE:  "Mr. Entertainment getting the upperhand!"

GHEORGHE:  "Entertainment slowly moving Burke into the ropes …. And now Burke is in the ropes!  The referee coming in to break them up!"

JIVE:  "What?!  Mr. Entertainment had his hands gripped around the rope and the referee made no attempt to stop Burke!  This is bias!"

GHEORGHE:  "Entertainment backing away…"

(SFX:  FANS POP HUGE!!)

JULIUS:  "God damn that punk!"

GHEORGHE:  "And Jorgenson charged in and took Burke out of the ring with a spinning heel kick!!!  Burke is on the outside!"

JIVE:  "Jorgenson just opened himself up to a can of Entertaining Whoop Ass!"

GHEORGHE:  "Mr. Entertainment comes from behind …."

(SFX:  CROWD EXPLODES!)

GHEORGHE:  "BUT JORGENSON DUCKING AND BACK BODY DROPS ENTERTAINMENT TO THE OUTSIDE!"

JULIUS:  "Someone check him for narcotics!"

GHEORGHE:  "He’s a buck 70, Dean!"

JULIUS:  "CRACK!"

GHEORGHE:  "Oh come on!"

(The crowd immediately jumps to their feet..)

JIVE:  "NO NO NO!"

GHEORGHE:  "JEFF JORGENSON RACES TO THE TOP ROPE …………… OH MY GOD!"

(SFX:  CROWD ORGASMS~!~!)

GHEORGHE:  "JEFF JORGENSON WITH THE CORKSCREW PLANCHA OFF THE TOP ROPE TO THE ARENA FLOOR AND HE TAKES OUT ENTERTAINMENT AND BURKE!!!"

JULIUS:  "Where was the referee?!  They were on the outside dammit!"

GHEORGHE:  "There are no breaks in wrestling, Dean!"

JULIUS:  "It’s called common courtesy!"

GHEORGHE:  "All three men lying on the arena floor …. And the fans are trying to get "Greenhorn" on his feet!"

JIVE:  "SOMEONE ARREST THEM!! They can’t touch our wrestlers… nevermind HELP them!"

GHEORGHE:  "The crowd reaching over the guardrail to pick Jorgenson up …"

(SFX:  POP!)

GHEORGHE:  "And Jorgenson is on his feet!"

JULIUS:  "This is outrageous!"

GHEORGHE:  "Jorgenson now grabbing Burke .. and he rolls him into the ring …. And Jorgenson does the same with the former Television champion!"

JIVE:  "Hurry up ref … count Jorgenson out!"

GHEORGHE:  "That wouldn’t do any good …  Jorgenson slides into the ring … and now he’s sizing his opponents up!"

JIVE:  "Lightning!! Hurry up and strike twice!! Strike Jorgenson right now!!!"

GHEORGHE:  "Steve Burke the first to move… and he is almost to his feet …. Jorgenson charging in and hits the reverse crescen… NO!  Burke grabs "Greenhorn’s" leg …. AND SLAMS JORGENSON TO THE MAT!"

JULIUS:  "That put a damper on the fan’s mood!"

GHEORGHE:  "Steve Burke now grabbing Jorgenson … and he is placing his neck on the second rope!  "Mr. Old School" choking Jorgenson with the second rope!!"

JULIUS:  "Jorgenson won’t be able to fly through the air if he doesn’t have any oxygen!"

GHEORGHE:  "Burke pressing all his weight down and Jorgenson is helpless!"

JIVE:  "Entertainment is up!"

GHEORGHE:  "Mr. Entertainment …. He makes his way over to the ropes …. AND HE GRABS BURKE FROM BEHIND ….. CHICKENWING!"

JULIUS:  "Come ON!  Burke was about to rid us of Jorgenson once and for all … and Entertainment fucked it up!"

JIVE:  "Mr. Entertainment is a star!  He’s not going to let Burke step into his limelight!"

GHEORGHE:  "Entertainment has the hold locked on … and he drops to the mat!  The referee down to check on Burke …. Mr. Entertainment may just walk out of here with a chance at the Television champion any moment now!"

JIVE:  "Bring the gold home, baby!"

GHEORGHE:  "The referee checking to make sure Entertainment doesn’t slip this into an illegal choke…"

JIVE:  "What?! Mr. Entertainment would NEVER do such a thing!"

GHEORGHE:  "And Problem Child will apologize to Cruise on RAUCOUS for handing Jack n’ Hoff the belts, right?"

JIVE:  "Well THAT won’t happen.."

GHEORGHE:  "Entertainment really working the chickenwing …. And Steve Burke looking like he could submit any second!"

JULIUS:  "I need to go help him!"

GHEORGHE:  "You can’t do that!"

JULIUS:  "If these scumbags can help Jorgenson, I should be able to help Burke… fair is fair!"

GHEORGHE:  "The referee checking on Burke … checking …"

(SFX:  FANS POP!)

GHEORGHE:  "JORGENSON IS UP!!! Greenhorn walking to Entertainment …. And he drills the former Television champion with a boot to the back of the head!"

JIVE:  "For Christ’s sakes … can’t he just leave well enough alone?!"

GHEORGHE:  "Entertainment breaks the hold …. And not a moment too soon!  Jeff Jorgenson with the arm … and he wraps Entertainment up in the pin ….. ONE ………………… TWO ………………. ENTERTAINMENT KICKS OUT!"

JIVE:  "Jorgenson is really beginning to work my last nerve!"

GHEORGHE:  "Jeff Jorgenson popping to his feet … and the crowd really showing him the love!"

JIVE:  "Someone needs to show him the door!"

GHEORGHE:  "Come on, Nick!  Show some compassion! Jorgenson is trying to live his dream … and he has done a hell of a job here tonight at Destrucity!"

JIVE:  "It’s time he woke up and realized that Mr. Entertainment is going to walk out of here the #1 contender!"

JULIUS:  "You mean Steve Burke."

JIVE:  "The guy who’s passed out face down on the mat right now?"

GHEORGHE:  "Jorgenson grabs Entertainment and sends him into… Entertainment with the reversal! Entertainment charges into the corner after Jorgenson …. BUT JORGENSON HITS THE TURNBUCKLE AND LEAPS BACKWARDS WITH THE REVERSE BODY BLOCK!"

JULIUS:  "Entertainment caught him!"

GHEORGHE:  "Mr. Entertainment … FALLAWAY SLAM sends Jorgenson through the ropes!"

JIVE:  "Take that!"

JULIUS:  "You going to the reunion shows?"

GHEORGHE:  "Steve Burke with the former Television champion … and he scoops him up …. And hits the shoulderbreaker!"

JULIUS:  "He didn’t let him go!  He’s back standing … look at that resilience!"

GHEORGHE:  "Burke with another shoulderbreaker on Mr. Entertainment … and finally drops him to the mat!"

JULIUS:  "Now get this shit over with and start preparing yourself for the championship!"

GHEORGHE:  "Steve Burke once more riling the crowd …. And they are NOT happy!"

JIVE:  "Neither am I!  Even the crowd wants Mr. Entertainment to win tonight!"

GHEORGHE:  "What?!"

JIVE:  "Isn’t it obvious?"

GHEORGHE:  "Burke reaching down and bringing Entertainment to his feet …. AND HE HOISTS HIM UP …. HE HAS HIM IN THE AIR FOR THE GORILLA PRESS!"

JIVE:  "Put him down!  Put him down this instant!"

JULIUS:  "Yes!  Slam him!"

JIVE:  "No!! I mean put him gently on his feet!"

GHEORGHE:  "Burke…. BURKE IS WALKING TO THE ROPES!"

GHEORGHE:  "The referee at four now … and neither man is mo… no… it looks like Entertainment … Mr. Entertainment is pushing himself up!"

JULIUS:  "For the love of God … why can’t he just let the world work its magic?!"

GHEORGHE:  "The rookie pulled it out!! Jorgenson did it!"

JIVE:  "This is preposterous!!!"

GHEORGHE:  "Jorgenson left on the top rope after Burke pulled Entertainment away …. And while those two battled it out .. Jeff Jorgenson, not even a year out of the Hacker School of Wrestling, nailed the top rope moonsault onto Mr. Entertainment .. and ended up covering both men!"

JULIUS:  "Look at that punk!!! God get him out of my sight!"

GHEORGHE:  "Jorgenson hopping out of the ring … and he is running around the ringside area giving every fan a highfive!  They are loving this!  I can’t imagine how he is feeling right now .. congratulations go out to that young man!"

And we still have the Television championship match … the finals of the single night tournament to crown a new PRODIGY© Classic Xtreme champion … and the main event … Peter File and Shawn Hart for the New ERA of Wrestling World Heavyweight championship!"

JULIUS:  "I’m disgusted.. absolutely disgusted right now…"

GHEORGHE:  "Jeff Jorgenson making his way up the ramp … and we’re about to find out who he will be challenging for the Television championship … Erik Black … and Cameron Cruise … next!"


A Moment of Your Time?

(FADEIN:  The office of New ERA President Marcus LaRoque.  LaRoque is looking over some papers.)

LaROQUE:  "Sign here.  Sign there.  Sign everywhere."

(There is a knock at the door.  More like a loud thud.)

LaROQUE:  "Come in."

(The door opens and the big beast of a man, Chaos, walks into the room.  He looks surprisingly refreshed considering his match earlier.)

CHAOS:  "Can I speak to you?"

(LaRoque’s eyes roll.)

LaROQUE:  "Well …. You are under contract… so I guess it won’t cost me any money… and I don’t have any reason to fine you (he pauses and shoots Chaos a knowing glance) do I?"

(Chaos ignores the reference.)

CHAOS:  "Not yet."

LaROQUE:  "Then go ahead."

CHAOS:  "Well, you know Vegas is my hometown… and I am in the finals of the tournament tonight…"

(A smirk creeps across Chaos’ face.)

LaROQUE:  "Mmmmhmmm…"

(Chaos continues.)

CHAOS:  "It’s just…"

(He pauses and shrugs.)

CHAOS:  "A ladder match."

(LaRoque looks on inquisitively.)

LaROQUE:  "Yes, I’m well aware of what kind of match the finals is.."

CHAOS:  "I just don’t consider a ladder match to be on the same level as the P©X championship…"

(LaRoque leans back in his chair, knowing what is coming.)

LaROQUE:  "So …"

(He nods.)

LaROQUE:  "What did you have in mind?"

(Chaos looks at the camera.)

CHAOS:  "Let’s discuss this .. in private."

(LaRoque stands up and walks to the door.  He opens it, beckoning the cameraman to exit.)

LaROQUE:  "Business, boys."

(The camera begins to move.  It exits the room and turns back as LaRoque begins to speak to Chaos, his hand on the knob.)

LaROQUE:  "I must first congratulate you on making it to the finals … you always have a way of … getting things done."

(The door begins to shut.  The camera catches a glimpse of Chaos, a huge smile on his face.  The door closes.)
